from now..."

"In other words,

we're finished!"

Shiori, what do

you want?

Heck, seeing as how

I'm all dressed up...

...I might as well

go and find out.

What's with the Marines?

They're going up the Tama River?

They'll miss the show!

The Self-Defense Forces?

The Self-Defense Forces, let me

see... have them direct traffic!

Lt. Kilgore! What the hell do

you think you're doing?

Well, well. If it isn't

Miss Kusumoto.

Do you intend to

start a war?

Taking off in a prototype

airborne tank...

Please don't turn Tokyo

into another Vietnam!

Tokyo or Vietnam, it's all the

same battlefield to me.

It's the perfect jungle in which to

blow away your pretty MADOX.

It'll be a catastrophe.

Hey, don't worry.

I'll knock it out and keep this

affair from escalating.

Let's go! Scramble

and take off!

Lt. Kilgore has taken off on the

MADOX recovery mission...

...with a high-mobility airborne tank

and anti-tank helicopters!

What did you say? That's

going too far!

As it stands, the heart of the

city will be in a huge panic.

It may be that nobody will be able

to stop Kilgore and the MADOX.

Is there anything we can do?

The MADOX's goal is as yet unknown.

We simply can't read

the driver's actions.

But if I can reach him before Lt. Kilgore

does, I think we'll have a chance.

But, the MADOX is...

I'll take Unit #0, from the

motive-power test bed.

Is there any chance of success?

I don't know. But we have no choice!

Come on, you heard me! I want

diesel! Fill 'er up! Fill 'er up!

All right!

I'm coming, Shiori.

Wait for me!

Cool! What a ride!

Hey, what're you doing? I don't put

up with weirdos hogging the road!

Get out of the way,

you jerk!

Watch this!

You're really hot, man!

It was easy! Huh...?

Stop it! Stop it!

I still got 30 more loan payments

to make! Oh! My top!

All right! It's a

Cabriolet now!

So long, suckers!

Oh yeah, cars are not allowed in some

areas of Shinjuku on Saturdays.

What's with these guys...?

Oh...Oh no!

Yes, we're certain. Shinjuku 5-chome

intersection. Request back-up.

I can't cut loose

in this crowd!

They've come to take

this sucker back!

This is getting serious! This "MADOX"

must really be important.

What is that? It's weird. Is this a TV

show? I hope it's not a Yakuza war!

But what am I supposed to do when

I can't even get out of it?

Get out of my way, blockheads! I just

want to go to the NSR Building!

You got that?

Jackal 3 to Spider 1. We've

acquired the MADOX.

Spider 1 to Jackal 3.

Attack! Fire at will!

It's still moving!

The right arm's moving

on its own... STOP!

It wasn't me! It did

that on its own!

I'm telling you, it wasn't me!

One of the Apaches

was shot down.

The full unit has authorization

to destroy the MADOX!

That's just what Kilgore wants.

What about the MADOX?

It's heading towards the skyscrapers

with the Apaches in pursuit.

Evacuate the civilians, quickly!

I'm going in!

They're ganging up on me!

Oh! Over there!

Look out below!

Shiori... it looks like I've gotten mixed

up in something really awful.

Now, then...

Which way to the

NSR Building?

Now this is convenient!

By going straight this way, I should

come out at the West Entrance.

When I do, it'll be right

in front of me!

Another lunatic's

popped up!

Back off!

Sign:
No Smoking in the Subway!

I've found the West Entrance.

That's the building!

Oh Sh*t!

Okay, move it, MADOX!

You should be able to hear

this. Answer me!

I can hear you. You're

giving me a headache!

What the hell are you trying

to accomplish...

...by causing all

this uproar?

You're the ones who are causing

an uproar! I'm just...

"Just..." what?

None of your business.

Give up, anyway. You

can't escape now.

That's something I won't

know if I don't try!

Great!

Damn it!

That does it! I'm taking

you with me!

The NSR Building?

You're sure that's

what he said?

All right, Captain! We've

got our drop site.

Put me down in front

of the NSR Building!

Make it smooth. I'm springing

for a 12-pack of Bud.

It's the perfect ring

for a return match.

Sign:
"NSR Building Parking Area -- Exit Elevator"

All right! Shiori's up there!

Sh*t! Persistent,

aren't you?

I won't let you go

any further!

Damn it!

I don't want anything

more to do with you!

I thought you were

an amateur...

...but it looks like I don't need to

treat you like one anymore!

Get back!

O... Out of ammo!

That'll do.

It's time we stopped

playing around.

Why, you!

Give it up!

I can't move!

I...I'm dead for sure!

It can't be! He's

just a boy!

Who are you? What do you

hope to accomplish by this?

I'm Sugimoto Kouji, a sophomore at

Kanto lnstitute of Technology.

I just want to meet a girl who's waiting

for me atop the NSR Building.

What's that got to

do with anything?

Listen to me. This thing is what's

causing all the commotion!

It swallowed me up, and then it shot

up a helicopter, all on its own!

I understand. Your carelessness

is not inconsequential...

...but I'm also largely to blame, for letting

it be transported in scramble mode.

Miss Kusumoto, this is

Spider 1, Kilgore here.

Too bad you won't

get your chance.

Yeah, thanks for the show. As

always, you fought well.

Come up here, on the double.

I'll make the pickup.

Thank you, but I won't be

turning him over to you.

I'll settle this personally with

Yokota Base Headquarters.

Okay, fine. Do what you like.

Hey, where are the civilians

in this building?

They're only on the

top floor, sir.

Say, do you suppose you could take

me up to the 50th floor for a bit?

Is it that important?

Now that you mention it, why

am I getting so frantic?

"...isn't it ultimately

up to you?"

First floor.

Wha...What the...?

It's a trap!

Fire!

As you ordered, sir, we've taken

care of the bigger one!

But... are you sure that was

the right thing to do?

It's fine.

Are you all right? What

the hell is going on?

That was naive of me.

He intends to see this through

to the bitter end.

His target is the MADOX. He'll come

after you until he destroys it.

If you want to stay alive, you'll have

to beat Kilgore. With your MADOX.

Th...That's impossible!

I can't do it!

I barely know how to walk

and move the hands!

You've got to do it!

Either the MADOX gets destroyed,

or you crush Kilgore!

There are no other options.

What about you?

They wrecked my legs.

I can't move at all.

Who is this Kilgore guy?

You'll understand when

you meet him.

You think I can take him?

With your MADOX, you

should be able to.

You were excellent

in our fight.

Have you read the

entire manual?

Uh, no, there wasn't time.

Ah... Well, then, I'll give

you some pointers.

Welcome, MADOX. The

opening act is over.

That's him!

It's time for the main event!

Bastard!

Come on, try and kill me!

You're pathetic!

What's wrong? Done

for already?

Can't you let me enjoy this

a little bit longer?!

Sh...Sh*t!

Take this!

Serves you right, you

baby turtle, you!

Hurry it up!
