Our Red Hornet Airborne Special Forces, aka DARK ASF,

Our orders are to destroy the environment.

It will be our contribution to DARK's conquest of the world.

ASF, move out!

Red Hornet's Horrifying Hostage Plan

Hang in there. You'll be okay.

DARK's at it again!

Strange Gas Pollution Spreads Pollution Control Commission Struggles with Countermeasures

Pollution Control Commission Head

Pollution Control Commission Head The Pollution Control Commission has ordered an immediate investigation into

The Pollution Control Commission has ordered an immediate investigation into

the cause of the recent outbreak of gas pollution.

Our response will be aggressive and thorough.

These are the measures that were decided.

Commissioner, do you see these measures being implemented?

We can't waste time debating what can or can't be done.

Decisive action is what we need!

Nature must be protected; the environment preserved!

Not for our generation, but for our descendants.

For the sake of lasting peace and happiness,

we will do whatever it takes, and do it now!

We must!

Go ahead and try!

You've challenged DARK.

Now you'll find out how formidable DARK can be!

Red Hornet!

Yes, sir!

Commissioner Oyama's daughter is on her way to lkaho.

She is his only daughter.

Kidnap her and keep her hostage.

We'll send him an ultimatum.

Is that clear, Red Hornet?

Yes, Professor Gill!

Failure is not an option.

If you fail, Red Hornet ASF will be reduced to scrap.

Is that clear?!

So you see, men, you must think of this mission as our last.

Go into it aware that you may not return alive.

You will now be supplied with energy.

Consider this a one-way fill up!

Move out!

Lake Haruna, lkaho...

I've seen this place before.

I can't remember when, but it seems so familiar.

Hanpen, that bus is going to lkaho, too, isn't it?

Yes.

What made you want to come to lkaho, Mitsuko?

lkaho is Dad's hometown. Right, Sis?

Do you remember coming here when you were small, Masaru?

I do.

Here, for you!

Go on!

Masaru, let's go look over there.

The manager at lkaho Grand Hotel is Father's old friend.

Oh. So you think maybe...

Yes.

Don't let the bus beat us, Hanpen.

Okay, okay!

We're here. Sorry for the long trip.

- There's a bowling alley! - Wanna play?

Yeah, let's do it!

Masaru!

Sayoko!

Oh, Mitsu! Good to see you!

Definitely, it's been years!

Yumiko Oyama will be coming, too.

Really?

How's your father?

Actually...

Sayoko!

I just got back, Papal!

- We've come for a stay! - Welcome!

What took you so long? Miss Oyama's waiting.

Oops! Let's go!

Komyoji's children are here, too!

Almost had it.

Okay, this next ball's a strike.

Darn.

That's not a strike. It's a gutter ball.

Even monkeys fall out of trees sometimes.

Some monkeys can't even stay on the branch.

Yes!

She's good. That's what you call a strike.

I heard you. Your turn, Masaru.

Yumiko!

I'm so sorry I wasn't home when you came!

- I'll be staying a few days. - Hi, Yumiko!

Ah, Mitsuko! It's been ages!

I'm surprised your father allowed you to come.

He almost didn't. He's so old-fashioned!

I can barely stand it!

He protects you like a princess.

lkaho Grand Hotel

Will it fly?

Okay...

It flew too far!

We're all here.

- Let's go for a drive. - Sounds good.

Look at that! Isn't it pretty?

Yeah, it sure is.

It's DARK's goons!

Not DARK again!

Make it fast!

Stop it! Let me go!

Help!

Help! Help us, Jiro!

Help!

- Jiro, help! Jiro! Let me go! - Cry all you want, brat!

- Let me go! Help me, Jiro- - My stinger will make you go mad!

Masaru!

Get a move on!

Over there!

Thank goodness, we're saved!

So the traitor's come!

As long as I'm here, you won't have your way!

Let's go!

You've come to your doom, traitor!

Out of my way!

He did it!

Come on, hurry it up!

Come on! Hurry it up!

Commissioner!

Sorry for putting you through this, Endo.

I wish I could've done something... I'm so sorry!

No, this is bigger than just my daughter's life.

DARK sent me their terms for her release.

What did they want?

They want me to abandon the policies I've stood for.

But...!

I cannot forsake the national good,

even for my own daughter's life.

Hello? Hello?

What?!

Commissioner, DARK wants to speak to you.

Oyama speaking.

Have you received DARK's terms?

I have.

You have until six tomorrow morning.

If the deadline passes, your daughter loses her life.

Understand?

Hello? Hello?

Serves him right!

Masaru!

Masaru... What's wrong?!

Masaru!

Try your tracker, Jiro.

Nothing.

Still no clues, huh?

Commissioner!

I cannot sacrifice the good of many for my daughter.

Where could they be keeping Yumiko and the others?

If only we had a clue...

Masaru left this behind.

He was playing with it. It might be an important clue.

Yes, he's nearby.

There's a vacant cabin up ahead.

That's it!

Good boy!

The deadline has passed.

All right. Time to show them that DARK means business.

My stinger makes people go mad.

You can go back to your father a madwoman!

A shell of your former self!

Hold it, Red Hornet!

Get him!

Help us! Hurry!

Thank goodness!

Come quick!

Damn goons!

That'll teach you to mess with a ninja!

- Stop fooling around! - Okay, okay, okay!

This way!

Come on! Hurry!

You fools!

The hostages are getting away! After them!

Oh, hurry!

How do you like that?

Here I come!

Take my stinger!

Now!

Suffer! Suffer more!

Here I come!

Those who betray DARK will be destroyed.

That is DARK's code.

Learned your lesson, traitor?

Your fate is sealed!

Hurry!

Hurry, get in!

Hurry!

It's okay, just go!

Look!

They're following us!

Take us full speed ahead!

I'm scared!

What do we do?

Faster!

Keep going!

Should we jump off?

No, keep going!

Try to put us in a sharp turn!

It's not working!

Try the other way!

Keep going!

Are you okay?

Shake it off!

I'm scared!

I did it!

Look!

You did it!

Thank goodness!

He deserved it!

Look, it's Jiro!

Turn the boat toward shore!

Head right for Jiro!

Okay!

Hanpei, it's all up to you!

Count on me! I come from a family of ninja!

Turn now!

You can't do that!

No fair!

Yes, I was afraid you'd remain crazy forever.

He wasn't cured after all?

Ouch!

Fooled ya!

Come back, you!

He seems all better.

Kikaider defeated Red Hornet.

Once again, he had foiled DARK's plans.

When would they all find happiness?
