No enemies detected. Moving on to the hangar.
It has to be nearby. Don't let your guard down.
First Platoon, entering the hangar now.
Second Platoon, continue searching the east side.
I'm picking up a heat source! Enemy found!
Second Platoon, move from the south side and catch it in a pincer maneuver!
First Platoon, open fire!
First Platoon has been annihilated. Second Platoon, opening fire now!
Second Platoon has been annihilated!
What?!
We lost Ghost's signal!
Damn it! It got away--
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Ghost is in the Oki Islands?
Yes, based on information Gashin and Amou received from the NAC soldier.
We haven't verified this intel yet, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
Hmm...
I want to defeat it.
I have to avenge my father, and until I defeat it...
...I can't move forward.
Tezuka...
Amou, what do you think?
Um...
I was there when our camp got attacked.
But I couldn't do anything.
Because of that, Ms. Risa...
...and the others...
I think Ghost is dangerous.
There's no telling who will be its next victim.
If Tezuka's going to fight, I'll help as well!
I see. However, we don't know if the intel is good.
We'll make a decision after we know for sure.
Gai, Kei, Nayuta... Will you help us?
Yup!
Of course.
In for a penny...
Thanks.
You're on standby until we know more. All right?
Okay!
Roger that.
Hey, how long are you gonna keep this up?
He's been in there for hours.
Jeez, there's really no stopping him.
Our next meeting was held two days later.
I won't beat around the bush.
It's highly likely that Ghost is in the Oki Islands.
According to our analysis, the probability is 94.6%.
It could have left the island, but we're pretty certain it's still there.
The Oki Islands is under the Asian military's control.
Dougo and Nishinoshima Island have outposts there.
Based on photographs of the Asian military's movements in nearby ports,
along with evidence of battles and power consumption forecast,
Ghost has destroyed the outpost in Dougo Island,
and then moved on to the outpost in Nishinoshima Island.
In doing so, Ghost has taken control of the anti-aircraft warning system.
The Asian military retreated, and their army at the mainland can't get near it.
They've started building a defense line on the coastline
in order to prevent Ghost from attacking the mainland.
For the time being, Ghost has been quiet.
It's probably in sleep mode.
Oh, to organize data?
And recover from any damage.
We do have one problem.
Everyone in the Japanese living quarters of Nishinoshima was left behind.
What?
We also have reports of people being injured.
The Asian military must've abandoned the Japanese people to save themselves.
It's not a problem yet.
But there's no guarantee that they won't be attacked once Ghost wakes up.
Well, we have to go help them now!
By defeating Ghost,
we can protect not only the people of Japan but Japan itself.
Shion, this will be your first time going against Ghost.
I've steeled my resolve after hearing how Amou and Tezuka feel.
I won't just stand by on the side lines.
Okay. Then your next mission is to rescue the people in Nishinoshima
and to defeat Ghost.
Please prepare for it immediately.
--Roger that! --Got it!
Don't break formation! You're dead if you stray off!
We know!
We know, but--
Dammit. One more time!
This will be a two-front war.
To protect the residents and avoid the Asian military,
we'll do it simultaneously and quickly.
Amou, Gashin, and Shion will combat Ghost.
My team will conduct the rescue mission.
"Japanese Living Quarters" "Asian Military's Second Outpost" The rest is logistic support.
"Japanese Living Quarters" "Asian Military's Second Outpost" The three of you will enter Nishinoshima from this route.
"Rescue Team" "Combat Team" The three of you will enter Nishinoshima from this route.
"Rescue Team" "Combat Team" Once you reach there, you'll use your AMAIMs to head to the outpost.
That's where Ghost is most likely hiding at.
Remember, you're also a diversion to protect the rescue team from Ghost.
Got it!
Next, the rescue team.
According to the population registry, 103 residents need rescuing.
Eight of those are in need of caretakers.
We need a boat to transport them.
I don't care if it's a fishing boat. Work together and get enough.
We'll also need medical supplies and stretchers.
Prioritize the rescue of children, seniors, and those who need assistance.
By the end of this mission,
the Asian military should be away from the islands and the nearby shorelines.
How's that going?
We're already on it!
We asked the local helpers to create a commotion to send the military their way.
Don't worry.
How should we reach out to the residents?
Would they believe us if we contact them out of the blue?
I actually have an idea.
"Restaurant: Saito"
I actually have an idea.
"Restaurant: Saito"
"Getting Ready"
There's a battle on the islands?
Unfortunately, yes. Please help us save them.
I've lost touch with everyone after I left the islands a long time ago.
I was practically kicked out. No one would care about what I'd have to say...
I understand that you're hesitant.
However, we have no time to lose. Please, help us!
We managed to get enough boats.
Good. My helper's also onboard.
All right! You're good to go!
Thank you so much.
Hey! We got our stuff, too!
We received communication from the Intelligence Agency.
Apparently, a group of Japanese people are renting a number of boats.
They must be the terrorists.
It's as you predicted, Captain.
Things are moving along well.
Call me an opportunistic leech, but I'll be the one that comes out on top.
We're all ready. Our mission will start tonight.
I understand.
Good luck.
It's time! Team One, head out!
Team Two, head out!
Let's go!
Mr. Saito.
You really came...
Is everyone else all right?
Yes, everyone's gathered in one area, just as you asked.
Good. Your son is waiting for you at the other end of the coast.
Th-Thank you so much.
This is Masaki. The residents are safe. Please come alongside the pier.
Looks like they've started.
Yeah.
Let's go, too.
Why do we have to stay here...?
There's nothing we can do with two AMAIMs against that monster!
We've lost contact, and no rescue is coming. They left us behind.
Don't say that!
This is a bridgehead to defend the Asian military's territory!
We cannot allow that silly AMAIM to overrun us!
We may have insufficient strength, but this is still the front line.
We're the only ones who can protect this island.
We're almost at the base. Prepare for combat!
--Okay! --Understood!
Our defense line will be that valley up ahead.
We'll attack Ghost from both sides and try to run it down!
What is it?! What happened?!
Switching monitors now.
Activate all units!
Activating all units!
E-Everyone fall back!
Look out!
--First Lieutenant! --Stay there!
That AMAIM...
Asian military survivors found!
Why are they here?
Call Boss!
Roger that!
Okay, let's move.
Got it!
Did they leave so we wouldn't be dragged into the fight?
Let's retreat!
Get them in quickly!
It's fast!
These attacks are new to us!
We're moving to plan B! Keep your distance and move to the designated area!
Roger that!
First Lieutenant, was that AMAIM...?
Yes, the terrorist we've encountered before. Why is it here?
Freeze!
We have our rights based on the treaty.
We're not military.
If you're ignoring our rights, then...
We've got five people in need of rescue. Head towards us immediately.
However, we will restrain you.
We're not military,
but we'll help those in need, regardless of the race. That's who we are.
We're at the designated area. Reiki, get into position.
Okay.
Wh-What in the...?!
Watch out!
Are you okay, Amou?!
I-It's...
Yeah, looks like it modified itself.
--It's coming this way! --Yeah!
Shion, now!
Okay!
Controlling recoil, correcting aim!
Blast off!
Bull's-eye!
I'll finish you off!
What?!
It's grounding itself to direct the current back into the ground!
Tezuka!
It won't last long! Let's move fast!
Roger that!
From the last battle,
Ghost's power, response time, and speed have clearly improved.
It also customized its equipment and capability to its own liking.
Its self-improving feature is unbelievable!
Self-improving...
It's coming!
--Go up! --Okay!
Amou!
Tezuka! Plan A!
We'll send the revised coordinates later!
Understood!
Good! It took the bait!
Optimal route!
Calculating!
After we reach the mountaintop, it's all downhill!
Got it!
It's going to start climbing in ten seconds! It's hot on our tail!
Everyone is onboard.
Everyone is onboard here, too.
Okay, start departing!
I see it!
The ammunition depot!
Amou!
Yeah, I can make it!
Amou, behind you!
Eat this!
Okay, let's close the door!
This is this outpost's ammunition depot.
We also added more explosives to it, too!
Gashin!
Yeah!
Did they do it?
With such a large explosion, it must've done a good amount of damage!
--Hold on! --I'm picking up movement inside the flames!
No way...
"Episode 12: Battle of the Oki Islands (Part 1)"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
How's this possible?! It's still moving!
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
I can't imagine us beating it!
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Don't worry, my princess!
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
We're here to help.
It must be desperate, too. Let's give everything we've got, Amou!
Yeah! We have to stop Ghost at all costs!
