Satellite detected a magnetic field.
Currently at 7.5 Teslas and rising.
It's nothing like what we've seen before.
It's the same as the records from 40 years ago.
Are you saying that it's going to appear again?
Gravitational wave detected from the magnetic field.
The ocean water is being sucked in.
Just how much mass does it have inside the distorted space?
The atmosphere above the observation point is unstable.
Expand the no-fly zone to a 100-kilometer radius.
I can't believe it…
Here exists a single Plate.
Beings of an ancient civilization,
whose great advances resulted in their downfall,
relayed a warning to the present generation
through this notice.
They wrote,
"Protect our legacy from evildoers."
An organization sincerely accepted this message
and actively seeks to keep ancient civilizations sealed.
And the special agents of that organization
are called "Spriggan."
W-Welcome, thank you for coming, Special Advisor Foster!
We are all happy for your sudden visit.
But why did the special advisor for the ARCAM Marine Development Department
come all the way to Japan so suddenly?
Yo, Captain, sorry for the wait.
Yu! D-Don't tell me you called him here!
I did.
Idiot! Don't you know who he...
It shouldn't be a big deal
since other nations confirmed it with their satellites.
But you wanted to cover your bases, huh?
I'll drop you in the ocean if this job's a boring one.
You don't have to worry about that! I think you'll like it.
I mean, we're talking about a ghost island that reappeared after 40 years!
"THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM"
Prepare to depart!
Prepare to depart.
Both engines steady!
Increase both engine speeds.
Keep steady!
Set course 110 degrees, standard course 115 degrees.
Set autopilot to maintain course.
Switched to autopilot.
Maintaining course.
I only heard rumors that the 8th one was completed.
Yeah, right. I know you called me here so you could ride this ship.
You said it was specially ordered, so I was picturing something flashier.
Like cannons.
If that were the case, we'd be stopped at the border during inspections.
This is a research vessel after all.
But if you're interested, I could put you in charge of this ship.
Give me a break, I'm still in high school.
Man, it's good weather though.
Perfect weather to set sail.
- Hey! - What's that?
Yu!
Yoshino?!
Huh?
She's gonna crash!
Watch out!
So, why are you here?
Obviously to see you!
Liar!
Yu, who's this girl?
An infamous tomb raider named Yoshino Somei.
She's ruined 16 relics, caused 29 to be completely unusable,
and she's been indefinitely banned from 45 excavation sites.
Cleaning up after her is worse than doing it for an army.
Come on, say something nice.
I'd throw her overboard if I were you.
Don't worry, I guarantee she won't die.
Mister! Mister, I know you wouldn't do that to a fragile young maiden!
Please take me to the ghost island.
How the hell do you know about that?!
Alright.
Captain?!
I like the little lady's guts for boarding this ship all alone.
It's not like she can run or hide in the middle of the Pacific.
Just don't get in the way of our operations.
You must be a good person, Mister!
Seriously?
Target research vessel has passed point Delta-4.
It's 20 knots at 110 degrees.
Estimated time of arrival here is 0230 tomorrow morning.
Just as we expected.
I want Fleet 7 to stand by in a line from points W to Y.
Relay that to the nuclear submarine as well.
I don't want to owe the USN any more favors.
Don't let them get involved.
We've identified their crew.
It's Team Foster and one Spriggan.
It's Yu Ominae.
It seems bringing that man was the right decision.
The Ghost Island in question will appear in the region
roughly 340 nautical miles from Wake Island, latitude 18.46, longitude 172.1.
It will appear for 10 hours.
If it follows previous patterns, it will emerge in four days.
It's not hi-tech camouflage, right?
Won't we get caught in a tsunami?
There's no way this ship would sink.
I wouldn't be so sure.
This could be the culprit behind all those missing ships from this area.
No way.
It's hard to imagine technology that can control space.
It means, anything can happen.
I'm getting excited to see what we'll find.
Light ahead!
Thirty degrees right, distance of roughly 320!
Visual confirmation of navigation lights at zero degrees!
Most likely a cargo ship!
Captain!
The ship that was sighted has disabled their AIS signal.
What a strange way to prevent hijacking. Where's the ship from?
Missile launch sighted!
The target is the battleship!
They used dummy lights to pass off as a commercial ship.
Missile seeker signal detected.
What?
Ready anti-air!
Set lasers to auto AW!
Shoot them down!
Why is a research vessel carrying laser weapons?!
All missiles destroyed!
One unit exploded near the ship!
Damage unknown!
Each division report your damages.
Captain, what's going on here?!
Go ask the enemy.
We've identified the enemy vessel!
An aegis patrol ship from the 7th fleet of the US Navy, hull number CG76.
It's the Randall H. Driscoll.
Did you say America?!
Anti-ship missiles down! Target survived!
Mr. Larry, what is that ship?
Nobody said it had laser weapons aboard!
The Rosinante, an ARCAM Marine Development Department Research Vessel.
A deceptive ship that takes ancient relics and uses them as weapons
all in the name of justice.
But to fire without warning!
We'll take responsibility.
Continue the attack with the harpoon.
It doesn't matter if we sink it, there won't be any proof.
That's reckless...
Captain Lyman.
You just need to follow your orders.
Or else the higher-ups will question your abilities as a captain.
Who is that man?
Larry Markusson.
He's the chief of Trident, the global leader of weapon production.
Apparently, even the top brass are powerless against him.
The Driscoll fired anti-ship missiles!
Two approaching!
Their ship is closing in on us fast!
Is that bastard thinking about taking over our ship?
But will they be able to catch up?
Turn us starboard! Cut the engines!
Switch to superconductor propulsion!
Superconductor?!
All members, brace for turbulence.
Hey, you should hold on to something.
Enemy vessel is gaining speed! It's fast.
It's traveling at over 60 knots!
60 knots?!
Rosinante. Some broken-down horse you are.
What would you do in this situation?
Give them every last harpoon you have.
Sacrifice this ship if you have to.
We lose the battle to win the war.
Their battery won't be able to sustain firing that laser weapon consecutively.
Accelerating to 90 knots.
Fifteen seconds to reach maximum speed of 120 knots.
What a scary ship.
It can do over 200 kph on water?!
This ship costs as much as a fully-loaded nuclear aircraft carrier.
It won't lose to a battleship one-on-one.
Rear enemy vessel has fired missiles.
Four approaching!
Missile seeker signal detected!
Set rear lasers to auto AW!
Shoot them all down.
Rear laser cannon's output down.
Damn. We used too much power on propulsion.
One missile is still active!
It's going to hit us!
Damn it!
Hey! What are you doing?!
Enemy missile is 100 units out!
Are you trying to get us killed?!
What are you thinking?!
If we charge into a missile, we'll become ghosts before we get to the Ghost Island.
Of course!
Now!
Enemy vessel closing in at fifteen degrees.
What are you doing?! Sink them with the primary cannons!
Th-The cannons can't rotate fast enough!
Power restored to laser cannons!
We can fire!
Aim starboard laser cannons at the Driscoll's engine!
Fire what we got at maximum output!
What? How did we beat the missile?
Yu, how did you know that missile was a pop-up and not sea-skimming?
The waves are high tonight.
I figured they'd choose a pop-up to take us down.
Although, we would've been sunk if it weren't for this ship's speed.
So you were playing chicken with the harpoon.
You really should take over this ship as captain.
No thanks, I'll pass.
That quick-wit and amazing timing.
I don't think it was Captain Foster.
What do you think, Mr. Bowman?
Yu Ominae, huh?
Just how far will they press this old man?
Life always gets more interesting.
You can stop staring, I'll make sure you're notified when it appears.
No way.
I have to see the moment the Ghost Island appears with my own two eyes.
Are you planning on witnessing every mysterious event around the world?
I'm a pretty greedy guy.
It'd be a waste to explain mysteries as just mysteries.
That's stupid.
What is it?
What's that?
Captain!
Our radar and electronic devices are frozen!
Radar screen is frozen!
Touch panel is unresponsive!
Sonar stopped scanning!
Passive sonar is quiet.
Underwater noise isn't coming through.
Don't worry about it.
I think I know what's causing it.
What is it? The island is distorted?
It finally showed up.
This is what makes life fun.
All teams prepare to land on the Ghost Island.
What should I do if I encounter them on the island?
Your mission is to find the item and bring it safely off the island.
But if the Spriggan should interfere,
you can kill him without hesitation.
Are you sure about this, Mr. Larry?
We should send our teams as well.
It'll be fine.
We brought him here for this purpose.
It's huge!
It's bigger than the pyramids in Egypt!
Even a crane for spaceships couldn't pick these stones up.
They're stacked so precisely, you couldn't fit a razor blade through the cracks.
The ones who made this must have been a pretty advanced civilization.
It's a strange island though.
Something in these pyramids must be causing the island to disappear.
Yeah, pyramids apparently store high amounts of electricity
through the piezoelectric effect from their own weight.
But I don't think that's all there is to these.
There's nothing inside.
That's weird.
These are traces of an explosion from C4 or something like it.
And it looks like it's only a few months old.
Does that someone came here before us?
But that doesn't add up.
Captain!
We found something over there.
Th-This is…
The Eldridge?
It's the destroyer you used for your experiment.
It exists on that island.
The goal of the Philadelphia Experiment conducted during World War II
was to disable radar with strong magnetic fields and turn the ship invisible.
But the Eldridge suddenly disappeared during the experiment.
It teleported to Norfolk a few hundred miles away before disappearing again.
B-But that ship is just an urban legend.
Anything can sound like the truth when you're the expert on cover-ups.
Mr. Larry, please tell me.
What is that island?
That is…
an artificial island equipped with an ancient teleportation device.
The US Navy sent in a research team onto the island 40 years ago
and discovered a source of power that wandered through spacetime.
But the island disappeared again, taking the researchers with it.
That's not all.
The island is littered with aircraft and ships that disappeared from all over.
It's like a black hole on Earth.
And its mystery will soon become clear.
That is, if Mr. Bowman is able to find the item.
This is amazing.
There are six ships and a dozen aircrafts besides the Eldridge.
Seems like time works differently on this island.
Look, it's a ship from the 16th century, but it's barely aged 10 years.
The passenger ship we found is in way worse shape.
It'd be a bad joke if we turned into geezers too.
What is it, Yu?
- Something's coming. - The US military?
No, something else.
What is that?!
Y-You've gotta be kidding me!
Heinz!
W-What the hell are they?
The guardians of this island.
They came to exterminate us intruders.
The ship will be in danger too.
Hey, where's Yoshino?
Huh? She was just here.
That little…
She didn't!
Honestly, what was that?
I can't find any relics that look valuable. I'm so done with this.
The island is expanding?
I should probably hurry.
This body's only been here about two or three months.
How?
My, how wonderful! I finally found something worth some money!
I thought this island was a bust, but it's got some treasure!
No way…
The Thunder Bolt.
This thing's dangerous.
How far did that idiot go anyway?
Two of them?
Just as I expected.
Found one!
What's going on?
One disappears, and another one appears from the side.
Shi…
Damn it…
You seem quite confused.
How many times have I told you to stay cool during a battle?
That voice…
Face reality.
Don't look away.
Assess the situation and make careful decisions.
Or have you become so weak that you've forgotten?
It can't be…
Then I'll teach you again.
With your death.
Shut up!
Don't.
If you move, I'll cut open your carotid artery.
The Spriggan who can manifest a copy of himself with the doppelganger ability.
I didn't know that was you, Instructor Bowman.
Instructor?
No.
I'm a major in Trident who ARCAM detests.
Although, I'm currently working with the US Navy right now.
I heard you left ARCAM, but I never thought you'd be helping them.
You used to be the Spriggan with the strongest sense of duty.
Why did you betray ARCAM?
Let him go, Mister.
Run, Yoshino! You're no match for him!
Idiot, we don't have time for this!
The island's teleportation device is losing control!
We have to do something fast.
This told me all the island's mysteries.
This was an artificial evacuation island meant to travel through other dimensions.
What?
That pyramid is likely a power reactor
that uses the Earth's energy to fix the island in a parallel dimension.
But the hastily-constructed reactor ran into unexpected issues
and the islanders all died after losing control of it.
The pyramid continued to draw energy from Earth
while the island wandered through space.
But it's drawn too much and now it's about to burst.
The next time it disappears,
the energy will send parts of the Pacific and Japan to another dimension!
So please mister, let that idiot go.
We have to destroy the power reactor.
Okay.
Let's call for a ceasefire, Yu.
So where's this power reactor?
There.
It's inside that pyramid.
The Driscoll doesn't have the weapons to destroy that pyramid.
The Rosinante took out our weapons control system.
Think harder, Mister!
You expect a fragile young maiden to die on such a remote island?
Well, I've got a few ideas.
I see, the Thunder Bolt.
What is this?
At the end of World War II,
an Allied B-29 loaded with an atomic bomb
disappeared on its way to Tokyo.
The aircraft's name was the Thunder Bolt.
Which means…
Yeah, exactly.
So we'll use this to destroy that pyramid.
Sir, you're an expert on EOD.
Can you modify the detonator to be a timer?
The shell isn't damaged.
No radiation leaks either, but the battery for the fuse is dead.
That will be the biggest hurdle.
As one would expect of a former Spriggan! So reliable!
Then I'll go look for something we can use.
I'll come with you.
How many times do I have to say it?!
Your kindness and naivety make you weak.
Are you willing to sacrifice your life and those of your allies?
Face reality!
Don't look away.
Assess the situation and make careful decisions.
You have to think for yourself.
If you don't, you'll lose something important again!
It's so mysterious.
Don't you think so, Yu?
I love this view.
It doesn't matter how magnificent human intellect is,
this planet will easily swallow it and wash it away.
Human love and hate won't remain.
However, life and actions will remain.
You and I are a part of it.
That is why we can stand on this earth.
That's why we can look out at this view.
Yet people will dig up the past,
longing to regain the glory they once had.
Even turning ancient relics into power and weapons
will not change this view in front of us.
Stopping meaningless evil and protecting the world is ARCAM's objective,
and a Spriggan's mission.
I am truly proud of this mission that was given to me.
Yu.
You have the potential to become the greatest Spriggan.
That's why I intend to teach you everything I know.
I'm already old.
I'll be retiring from this business soon.
Good luck, Yu.
ARCAM will be in your hands now.
Okay, it's set.
We can only hope that this will explode.
Then we should evacuate too.
I'm so done with this island.
Unfortunately, I can't let you do that.
Yoshino!
What a unique ability you have…
This necklace should have a data plate that can reveal the island's reactor.
My mission is to present this to Trident.
Don't worry, if you hand it over quietly I won't hurt her.
But if you refuse, I'll kill this girl and kill you too.
Yoshino, hand him the necklace.
W-What?! B-But…
Do it if you want to live!
Okay, fine.
Let go of me then.
You had to pick that up.
Shut up.
Jeez, I thought I could sell it for a good price.
Yoshino, head back to the Rosinante and report to the captain.
Get ready to run if anything happens.
What about you?
I'm a Spriggan.
I can't stand idly by while a relic gets misused.
I figured as much, which is why I set the bomb to explode in 90 minutes.
That should be enough time to settle things.
Are you two serious? We don't have time for...
Shut up!
Just get out of here already!
Fine, I'll do that then!
See if I care what you do!
Idiot!
I think you've noticed, but I'm wearing a Trident Armored Muscle Suit.
This knife is also made from a strong Orichalcum alloy.
Our equipment is equally matched.
What's left is…
3Bastard!
…to see if you can escape my doppelganger.
You may be my student, but I won't hold back.
This is bad! We're surrounded!
Damn it. We'll need to settle this fight with our fists.
What? But they're immune to bullets!
Yu was able to destroy them. That means we can too!
No, we can't!
Mister!
This way!
Are you guys okay?
Where's Yu?
Who cares what happens to that idiot.
Damn it!
Instructor Bowman, I…
You can't fight your former teacher?
I'm surprised you've lived this long with such naive notions.
You don't know how cruel this world is.
Face reality.
Don't look away.
I'm not a Spriggan.
I'm your enemy, a Trident mercenary.
Which is why…
I will do everything I can to kill you.
Because that is my mission.
Bowman?!
If that's true, he's in real trouble.
Bowman is one of the most deadly people with a knife.
Not only that, he has his doppelganger.
There's no way Yu can win.
The island's energy range is expanding rapidly!
We can't stay here any longer!
We've got no choice. It's time to escape this island!
Copy that!
Time's up.
I hate to say goodbye, but this is it, Yu.
It's time to settle this once and for all.
Okay, I'm starting to get it.
How many have died?
I'm sure your naivety has cost many of your teammates' lives.
Actually, I suppose I should say you killed them.
Face reality.
Don't look away.
Or else you will lose it again.
Lose something important to you.
Just like then!
No!
Here!
Sir.
I finally figured out what your doppelganger is.
I don't know how it works,
but you can separate your presence from your body.
Which means the one I can't sense is the real you.
Yes, my doppelganger is only a type of hypnosis.
A bluff.
However…
can you see through my knife?!
Sir, let's stop this.
I see the outcome.
If we keep fighting, I'll end up killing you!
How many times do I have to tell you to get rid of that naivety?
Or have you not lost enough?
Fulfill your duty as a Spriggan, Yu!
Sir!
Well done, Yu.
You did well to keep your composure.
That's your true strength.
Tell me, sir. Why did you leave ARCAM?
Someone with such a strong sense of duty.
You'll understand someday.
ARCAM is not always in the right.
Assess the situation.
Listen to me.
Only carry out what you think is right.
Sir?
Thank you, Yu.
Being able to fight against a student
who grew to be so strong…
I'm a lucky man.
ARCAM is not always in the right.
Now's not the time to be all melodramatic!
Snap out of it and get over here already!
Or are you planning on becoming a ghost here?
We got the kids!
Max superconductor propulsion!
It's time to leave this island!
What happened to the necklace, Yu?
I forgot it.
What?!
We reached 150 knots! The propeller can't hold much longer!
Who cares, keep it spinning if you don't want to die!
That was a close one, Mr. Larry.
If we didn't receive the message from Major Bowman, we would've been…
It seems that in the end
he couldn't forget his own pupil.
Stop thinking about it, Yu.
It's what Bowman wanted.
It's not your fault.
Honestly, you're so stupid.
How could you leave the necklace that I worked so hard to get?
Look at me!
What the hell is that?!
I found a passenger ship on the island.
Don't give me that!
It's because of the necklace you picked up that I...
You got to learn the mystery of the island!
What's the harm, Yu?
We're alive thanks to the lady.
Look over there.
Why don't we just take our sweet time
and enjoy the mysteries of life.
CP, this is OP-02.
CP, can you hear me?
Come in! Is anybody there?
Hello?!
Mission complete.
Time to pull out.
Clean up and rendezvous.
Yes, sir.
I sent your next mission to your terminal.
Make sure you check it.
Yes, sir.
Ominae didn't come today either.
Just forget about him.
He deserves to get held back.
Hatsuho.
Assassinate number 43.
Also known as, Yu Ominae.
