Ultra Q

Hello?

What?

Where?

Got it!

Any problem?

Good guess!

Yeah!

Ok, I'll send you to check it out

Sure, so what's happened?

A submarine volcano has exploded.

That's not an uncommon thing.

Don't just choose cases that you are interested in.

Yes, sir.

Hey, bring the map for the Izu region.

Yes, sir.

This is the point.

Then, go to Iwane Island to meet Professor Ishii.

That Professor Ishii...

Was ostracized from academic society

because he reported that Japan

would sink into the ocean soon.

How did you know about it?

I've interviewed him before.

Yes! I can go see his sister Fumiko!

Be serious!

Just go!

Wow! A new island will soon be born.

No, no. I've actually heard that Japan will soon sink into the ocean

due to movements in the Earth's crust.

Hey, Professor Ishii who reported that, will be at Iwane Island.

Wow, you knew about that!

Ippei, after you drop Yuri-chan and me off on the island

you can go home.

But...

Well, I don't mind what you do,

but someone is waiting on this helicopter.

I understand, I'm still just a little baby.

Ippei-kun, get closer!

Ok.

Hey, stay cool!

"Ragon, the Primordial Amphibian"

What are you talking about?

I'm not asking you to send a research boat

for my own personal greed.

Professor Ishii and Fumiko-san.

What is going on?

Professor, that's not our job. It's the job of the government.

This is for survival of this island!

This island will soon sink into the ocean, according to my data.

Are you kidding?

How can you possibly investigate this

when we don't have any specialists or anything for that?

The cost of gas, personnel expenses...

How do you pay for those?

Also, we are restricted from going out to the ocean today.

We would need permission.

My brother is saying truth!

He is just trying to save the people on this island.

Please! Cooperate with him!

Hey young lady,

no other Japanese scientist has ever made any mention of this,

so I would tend to side with them.

I'm worried about the people on this island.

Everything's gonna be fine.

We don't have enough time!

Professor!

Everyone was too scared, but I went to check on the submarine volcano.

I was surprised!

So, what did you see?

Well, lots of dead fish were floating.

They didn't have heads and their bodies were a mess...

Those kind of fish cannot be sold.

Why didn't you let me know you were going out to sea?

My brother wanted to go along for research.

Well...

Anyway, Fumi-chan, look!

What is this?

I told you not to show this to anyone, you idiot!

Where did you find this?

It was caught in our fishing net.

What is this?

Mr. Kawasaki!

No way! I won't give this to you!

But...

No way Professor can pay a big money for it.

I'll give it back to you right away.

I promise. Deal?

Hey! What's the matter?

Hurry! Go help him!

The monster! The monster! Help!

My brother won't come out.

I'll try getting him again.

We can't even talk to him.

He's been in his room for a long time.

What a waste of time!

We just have to wait.

Scholars doesn't care about time

and doesn't make conclusions very easily.

But...

I know, when you're hungry, you always get mad.

Excuse me!

I think I should go.

I think this is its egg.

It looks like a human.

Before humans dominated the Earth,

about 2 million years ago, lived these creatures,

primitive mermen, Ragon.

No way such prehistoric creature can appear now!

Ragon lives about 5,000 meters underwater.

They looks human-like, but evolved from reptiles actually.

Of course, they lay eggs.

Hey, surprise!

- Let's go out drinking! - No, I can't.

Let's go!

Bye!

Strange guy.

Your home that way,

it's Professor's house in that direction, hey!

Hey!

Who's that, so late at night?

What are you doing here?

Wow... this guy is big.

Don't know anyone like that on the island.

Hurry, run!

Somebody took the egg!

It must have been Mr. Kawasaki!

I think so too.

We told him we would return it when we finished our research.

He is a pathetic excuse for a man!

What's happened?

I don't know.

I don't need the egg anymore.

I already know what I wanted to find out.

What did you want to know?

That egg didn't blow up from a submarine volcano that exploded.

That crater was on depth of about 1,000 meters,

that means that it came up somehow from the 5000 meter depths

on which mermen was thought to be living.

From deep to shallow?

Yes.

As I reported, the Earth's crustal movement has started.

That's one of the reasons why the submarine volcano exploded.

Fumiko, this island could sink even sooner than I expected.

What's gonna happen before sinking?

When the Earth's crust starts moving,

there might be landslides or sinkholes in the ground.

Oh, my God...

What about an earthquake?

It's possible.

Can I borrow your phone? I have to talk to my Chief!

My brother... he doesn't like to use a phone, so we don't have one.

There is one at the police box.

Yuri-chan, I'll go.

- I'll inform the people. - Take me with you!

I also want to find out what that sound is.

Wait here!

He is heading to the Professor's house!

But, he might be lying for you in ambush.

Ok, you should stay here.

Don't leave me alone!

Brother! Why don't you go to talk to the people of the island again?

You should be ashamed of yourself leaving this all to Yuriko!

You are such a coward!

Fumiko!

Ragon is here!

But, something is wrong.

What's wrong?

Ragon has a very strong body due to the heavy pressure in the ocean.

He could easily break down walls and doors, but he didn't.

I'll go check it out.

No, it's dangerous!

Professor!

Are you all right, Professor?

Professor where did that monster go?

He just left.

He is outside!

I tried to catch him just now.

He avoids being caught.

He is smarter than a gorilla.

What are we doing? What are we gonna do?

He's still there.

How come he didn't go back to the ocean?

Professor!

It's starting.

What's going on?

This shaking may be a sign of the island sinking.

Oh, my God!

It might be possible. Let's inform everyone!

He is in the backyard now, you can use the other side door!

We should attack him!

I'll be a decoy, so you can get out and inform everyone!

How are you gonna do that?

It's a dead end! You can't go anymore!

Jun-chan!

He did it!

Now we can go back home.

Let's inform everyone!

Did they inform everyone about the sinking?

Yes, let's go there to help them.

Pour gasoline on him!

Did you call for help?

The phone lines are shut down! We must do something by ourselves!

This is it! Look! He was looking for his baby.

Let's give him his baby back!

Who's gonna bring it back to him?

Hurry!

No, I'll go!

- You should stay here. - Fumiko!

This is yours.

I won't do anything.

This is your baby, isn't it?

Fumiko!

Are you all right?

You did a great job!

We should leave now!

Professor, come here!

Hurry!

Brother, look!

We must save them!

Ok, let's go back to help them! Hey, return to the island!

Thanks God...

Head offshore! Hurry!

Thank you.

Ippei, hurry up!

Oh, the island!

Professor Ishii's prediction

may one day come true.

The End
