The AV-98, aka the Ingram.

6.02 tons. 8.02 metres high.

SCB powered. SCLM drive system.

Armed with a 37 millimetre revolver cannon and stun baton.

Designed specifically for the police to make an impression on the community...

to deter criminals and safeguard the public.

This is the Patrol Labour.

You must not let go of your dreams

And never turn your gaze away

Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away

And even though you comforted your love

When he was feeling down

Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart

Hang on tight to your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal

You'll find that you can get through anything at all

So never cry - you know I shall always be watching over you

What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness

So never cry - you know I shall always be right there by your side

And so now you can face your future fearlessly

The Griffon fought Division 2 and destroyed Ota's Labour

before escaping back to the Tsuchiura research labs.

But the Division Manager of Schaft Japan got cold feet and called in Schaft's security division.

SSS was ordered to capture Utsumi and take the Griffon.

But Utsumi escaped and headed for Tokyo.

With him were Bud, Kurosaki, and the Griffon.

SSS planned an ambush at the Babylon Castle Gate.

Division 2 was also waiting, near Kawasaki.

But the Griffon came ashore on the far side at Kisarazu,

and now Division 2 is rushing to the scene.

Tonight I'll fight to the bitter end.

The Battle of the Gate

Yes, we're over the Kisarazu side.

Kawasaki is a land route; boats can't pass through.

What? You have a live relay to the Chiba station? Roger.

Back off. You'll be hurt.

I only want the Ingram.

So where's the Ingram?

Jet Stream Attack!

Jet Stream Attack!

Shut up!

But I practised so hard!

The station wants a voice-over, too.

Voice? They want me to do reporting?

Just fill in until the ground unit arrives.

But...

This is being sent across the country!

Hey!

Five, four, three...

As you can see, the Black Labour is at the Castle Gate of Babylon.

This is not a movie!

These events are real, coming to you live!

The Black Labour first appeared at the Labour Show in Haruumi.

After defeating Special Vehicles, Second Section, it flew away!

It was reported to have crashed in Chiba, but as you can see, the Black Labour still lives!

Where did this Black Labour come from?

Who created it, and for what nefarious purpose?

These questions are still shrouded in mystery.

Ah!

You are watching live images from the scene.

This Black Labour may belong to a security company.

It has just destroyed three other Labours, at the Babylon Castle Gates and is now strolling leisurely.

Now it's moving toward Kawasaki.

Will it slip into the sea?

Or will it take to the skies again to menace Tokyo?

Wait a moment!

It's Second Section!

A lone Ingram has appeared.

The famous 98AV cuts a brave and striking figure!

Your rampage is over!

You're under arrest for inciting a riot, destruction of property, and many other violations!

I know that voice!

Freeze!

I can't exploit a wounded man.

Really, the injury isn't that bad!

Then you'll recover quickly.

But...

Lieutenant, Division 1 is ready!

Good.

I'm coming, too!

Officer Shinohara, I'm not your commander.

If you're needed, your Lieutenant will send for you.

I've fought the Black Labour. You could use that experience.

Yes, but the brass hates officers who leave their post to follow a personal grudge.

Really?

Division 2 has no discipline.

Move out!

You look hard at work. I thought you were ordered to rest.

I don't want to hear it!

Well, perhaps it was just a rumour.

So, you're interested in her battle?

Why wouldn't I be?

I need to fly in a reserve battery.

Want to tag along?

Of course! Take me with you!

Load it up!

It's a stand-off.

Noa, shoot! Take the initiative!

Izumi wouldn't fire unless it was life or death.

Sometimes I wonder if she'd even fire then.

If she doesn't fire, the gun is no use.

We can't let the Griffon be captured. We must blow it up!

More police are arriving on the Kisarazu side.

We may not be able to reach the Griffon in our pursuit cars.

If you have to, use the Abraham. Machine 2 is still in good shape.

Yes sir!

Stop!

Hurry! Hurry! That helicopter is stealing my best lines!

There they are!

I want to be right next to them!

What was that car?

Let them go.

Any battlefield chaos will make our job easier.

The Griffon's moving!

Halt!

Noa, what are you doing?

There are people under it!

Such tremendous power!

Shouldn't we back up? Isn't this dangerous?

What? Would Robert Capa or Cartier Bresson back off?

Well, I don't know about that, but...

Pulitzer, here I come!

I can't use the gun with people in the line of fire.

What should I do? What should I do?

He's approaching from your left!

This side...

I didn't mean to shoot! I didn't mean to shoot!

Ah!

Izumi, a loaded riot gun isn't very well suited for swordplay.

It shan't happen again!

Officer Shinshi, take over. I'll evacuate the civilians.

Abraham: Next time the Griffon stops, move in on it.

Plant the explosives on its back.

The rest of you, board the Sangria and find Utsumi.

Well, Chief?

Shall we be going?

Nice gun! But you won't use it, so I have nothing to fear.

The Griffon is operating right on the edge.

Yes, but look how well it moves.

We can't capture it unless we capture Utsumi first.

It's no good.

What's wrong?

They won't let us on without Far East Manager's approval.

Are they trying to make fun of SSS?

You want to talk to them?

You better believe it!

Stupid thugs.

Hey, you can't leave your post!

Where are you going?

That way.

That way?

That way!

Sorry to make you chauffeur.

I'll do whatever it takes to save my skin!

I'd drive, eat garbage, whatever it takes!

Move back! Retreat! Retreat!

Good!

You monster!

What's wrong with her? Why doesn't she use the riot gun?

Ota! Ota!

What?

Give me a hand! I can't hold this by myself!

Ota, come help! TV reporters are in the way at the fight scene!

Is that why Izumi won't fire?

Hurry! Is that why Izumi won't fire?

Ota!

Lieutenant, what's going on?

It's you.

Don't give me that!

This looks bad.

The Ingram is actually doing quite well, considering.

Lieutenant, we have the reporters.

No! I don't want to! Ota is persuading them to leave.

Ota is persuading them to leave.

Persuasion complete.

The area is clear.

Roger. Izumi, did you copy?

You're clear to fire.

I don't enjoy saying this:

Freeze! One move, and I'll shoot!

Coward!

Step down from your machine.

Lieutenant, another Labour is moving in from behind!

Don't stand behind my target!

Stop, or I'll shoot!

I shot him!

What happened?

You've done it now, SSS.

Izumi, your opponent is still moving. Finish him.

Get up!

What's wrong, Izumi?

Noa, answer me!

Huh?

Oh, yes.

I'm going for the basket.

Noa!

Izumi, what are you doing?

What AM I doing? They're really shouting at me.

It's over.

Did you give it your best shot?

That's what I told myself. Just another few inches...

Would I have kept going? Did I really give it my best?

Noa!

Noa, are you asleep? This is no time to pass out!

Your opponent is already up! Get up!

What exploded?

Well, I'll make up for it now!

How many hours have I been unconscious?

If it had been hours, you'd be dead!

You'd have been dead in the first minute!

Fight now! You can faint later!

You could be a little nicer to me!

I'm bleeding.

What?

Wh-where did he get you? Are you all right?

I cut my lip.

You idiot!

Calm down.

Asuma, you're right.

If you ever said anything nice to me, I'd go soft.

Look, I wasn't overly worried about you...

I just want you to fulfil your duties, and, uh...

What are you babbling about?

We'll see who faints when I'm done!

Ogasawara, Haruumi, and here... why can't we stop her?

What does it take to stop this lady?

He continues to attack furiously.

He's an incredible opponent... but I can take him.

You lose!

The only loser here...

...IS YOU!

Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up

Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely

I turn off the TV I've been listening to

Tomorrow I shall spend the whole day

In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust

I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon

I plan to always look on the brighter side

Keep my chin up, look to the future

After all, there's only one path I can travel

Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?

Noa starts fighting back.

Go get them Noa! Bring him down, Alphonse!

One more hit... almost there!

I'll never let them get away with this. I will make them pay!

I'm counting on you Alphonse!

Can Noa catch up with Griffon in time? Will Kanuka expose SSS' sinister plots?
