your feelings.

We're just trying to save lives.

I'm sorry!

Who do you want me to see?

Commissioner Saito of the

Environmental Agency.

Let's dispense with the formalities.

The Cabinet has decided on

capturing those lifeforms.

Not only is it academically important,

but it may also be meaningful for

the protection of rare species.

We want you to devise a plan

to capture them.

You mean me?

You're very young,

but you're the only specialist

who has actually seen them.

Their sphere of action is wide,

and they're highly lethal.

They've already killed people.

By the decision of the Cabinet,

we will undertake this operation.

It's too dangerous.

What?

We don't know anything about

their behavior patterns yet.

Capturing them on assumptions

is too much of a risk.

Dr. Nagamine,

the Cabinet has made its decision.

Yes, there.

Maybe this whole atoll

is like an ancient burial mound.

We've chartered a helicopter

to haul it up.

It's heading this way.

Roger.

What is it?

It's at body temperature.

I hear something.

Like a ringing in the ear.

What happened?

When they take off, pop them

with the anesthetic gun.

That should do it.

If they fall into the sea,

they'll be drowned.

This anesthetic paralyzes the muscles.

Not enough won't work.

Too much will stop their respiration

and kill them.

That sure is tricky.

If only there was a place

to trap them...

Such a place...

Of course not, right?

There is!

This is it. This is it!

Harry Hawk, this is Hercules One.

We are above Himegami Island.

We'll be on stand by.

Hercules One, this is

Harry Hawk. Roger.

Since those life forms flew

accurately to Onoko Island,

like migrating birds,

they may fly by reading

the Earth's magnetism.

Eventually, Fukuoka is where

they'll fly to for more food.

If we cannot guide them, the

casualties will be great.

They tend to shun light,

so it will probably work.

Probably?

That's not good enough.

Excuse me, Sir.

You are the ones demanding

the capture under these most

improbable circumstances.

I will, however, do my best.

Thank you, Ma'am.

Harry Hawk, this is Hercules One.

They have taken off.

Can all three of them be guided?

That's why I asked for

three helicopters.

Move two of the units

to make a formation.

Yes, Sir.

There's a civilian chopper

in the restricted zone.

The press choppers aren't supposed

to enter that zone.

A gigantic life form?

Yes, and it's heading straight here.

How big is it?

More than sixty meters.

Our hands are full with fifteen-meter

flying life forms!

Formation completed.

They are flying smoothly to the Dome.

This is Hercules One.

Estimated time of arrival is 20:20.

I'll go down to the field.

She's really something,

a fine lady indeed.

Report from the patrol plane.

Unidentified object advancing

twelve kilometers offshore.

An object?

Not a boat?

Speed, approximately fifty knots.

It's heading straight

towards the Dome.

That's it!

Take your posts.

Three CCs of Succinylcholine

per injection.

Is the amount correct?

Paralysis will begin in a few seconds.

Lights on.

Lights on.

Take aim.

Guidance complete.

Please close it.

Roger.

Switch power. Close the ceiling!

Yes, Sir!

Try to get all three at once.

The ceiling still isn't...

Fire!

One is getting away.

Stand down.

Will you attack?

Military action is strictly limited

to defense purposes.

Even then, we are not

allowed to attack

unless the enemy opens fire.

Call the Secretary of Defense!

Yes, Sir!

We interrupt this program

for a special bulletin.

At Fukuoka Port a short while ago,

a monster...

A monster has appeared.

The Self-Defense Forces have

been dispatched to the site.

We repeat.

A monster has appeared

at Fukuoka Port.

The Self-Defense Forces

have been dispatched.

The monster seems to be heading

towards Fukuoka Dome.

At the Dome, the operation

to capture the birds

found at Himegami Island

is now underway.

The monster's relationship with

the birds hasn't been verified.

The operation at the Dome

may be greatly affected by the

appearance of this monster.

With the monster landing

at Hakata Bay,

inhabitants living in the

West, Central, Sawara,

and Hakata Wards are

ordered to evacuate.

Retreat! All units retreat!

Orders to evacuate have been issued.

Pleasee vacuate at once.

But...

Closer... Get closer.

It's dangerous. Please stand back.

Is that the thing you were telling...

What's going on at the Dome?

Why won't it leave the Dome?

Because of the birds.

How did they...

Capturing the birds has failed,

owing to the appearance

of the monster.

I am now on the field where

the operation took place.

It's a disaster area. The cages

have been destroyed.

How can they be cut so cleanly?

I was about to ask the same question.

The monster is assumed to be hiding

in the Seto Inland Sea.

Warnings have been issued

to all vessels in the area.

A bill allowing the Self-Defense

Forces to attack the monster

has been submitted to the

House of Representatives,

and will be debated

with utmost priority.

When the bill is ratified,

the first military action in Japan

will take place.

Will it come to Tokyo?

It'll be cool.

No way, it's scary!

Don't you think this red snapper

is too expensive?

Because of the monster,

I hear no fish come in from

the Seto Inland Sea.

What luck for my husband's birthday

to come at such a time.

Ryuji, we're leaving.

Ryuji, I said we're leaving.

Ryuji, knock it off already.

Having guests?

Yes...

Can't you listen?

I'm listening.

The engravings resemble those

of the ancient Pyrenees.

Please continue.

This professor says the engravings

may belong

to the same family as rune characters,

originating around Etruria.

Did rune characters really exist?

You know of them?

They're in fantasy novels.

So, have they been deciphered?

It wasn't too difficult,

because there were characters

to compare with.

The last hope, Gamera.

We bestow it in the cradle of time.

May it awaken with the

shadow of evil, Gyaos.

What is it?

I don't know.

A prophecy, perhaps?

By the way, that metal...

This?

I almost forgot, a souvenir

for you, Asagi.

Wow, thanks!

Hey, that belongs to the company.

Just one, okay?

I found this one.

There are dozens more of them.

Is it okay?

There's no equivalent among

the metals known to us.

Is it an unknown substance?

The comma-shaped bead

may be related

to the ancient civilizations of Japan.

If the Orichalcum mentioned

in Plato's writings existed,

this could be it.

Ori...

Orichalcum...

The metal used in Atlantis.

Hang on. What's Atlantis?

The continent which is said

to have sunk

into the Atlantic twelve

thousand years ago.

But this was found in the Pacific.

The legend of a sunken continent

could have spread around the

world in various versions.

One of them could be Atlantis.

You mean the monster

was created by man?

We can't be sure, but how

do you explain

a life form which flies, spinning
