Amazing Metal X.

A miraculous energy source. So much in each little rock.

It's going to make me incredibly rich. I deserve it.

I own this quarry and every rock that comes from it.

There lies my fortune.

Metal X belongs to the people of Muamba!

Give us back our country, you thief!

Unbaba must go! Freedom to Muamba now!

Freedom!

Don't let them get any closer!

They will never bring me down.

-Call out the tanks. -Yes, sir.

Kabore, if we stand our ground, he'll wipe us out.

Retreat! Now!

Get off the road! Go on! Scatter!

What is that thing?

Fall back.

Gentlemen, take charge of your country!

Come with me. Join forces with the Black Monster!

-Lucky for us he's on our side. -Where do you come from?

-I've never seen anything like it. -We might even be able to defeat...

-... Unbaba with a weapon like this. -Exactly.

Gather round. The Black Monster is here to help.

I'm with you.

It is time to bring down Unbaba.

This weapon is what we need to win!

Black Monster!

Hooray, Black Monster! Hooray, Black Monster!

It was a suspected Black Ghost weapon?

-Where was it spotted? -The Muamba Republic, yesterday.

The Muamba Republic? Where's that? I've never heard of it.

It's a tiny country in West Africa.

That's where I'm from.

I know. The Muamba Republic was originally...

...a colony of Glutonia on the West Coast.

Five years ago, they gained their independence.

Metal X, a mysterious ore that the world is looking to...

...as its next energy source, was discovered in Muamba.

Glutonia got wind of it and greed set in.

As soon as Unbaba was installed as president of Muamba...

...the Glutonians persuaded him to turn his presidency into a dictatorship.

So they could control the profitable sales of Metal X.

Sad to say, the people of that country are independent in name only.

They mostly live like slaves.

-That's just awful. -But the people have finally revolted...

...against Unbaba.

You think that Black Ghost's weapon is helping them to rebel?

I'm not sure, it's just a gut feeling.

At any rate, we'd better find out what's up.

009, I'm ready if you are.

Damn it. We almost made it past.

I'll draw their fire.

-Hold on, Mamado. -Over there!

We've got him cornered!

Mamado.

Company B. Come in, Company B!

Company B's wiped out, sir!

-Well, what about Glutonia? -Not responding, Mr. President!

Those rats! Try again!

Now we'll find it.

What a great weapon!

I'm telling you right now, Unbaba doesn't stand a chance!

One weapon beat a division?

We just got word back from the commander. Fall back!

Right!

We'd better try and follow them.

If Black Ghost is involved, this country's in trouble.

Glutonia. Glutonia, come in!

Is anybody there? Can you hear me?

-Please respond... -Forget it!

I've never seen a weapon climb up sheer rock on its own.

Let's go!

Okay.

Looks like we're pretty close to their campsite. Just be careful.

Three spies? Don't let them get away.

Yes, sir.

-What should we do? -Let's just wait and see what happens.

Pyunma.

It's you!

-You know the enemy infiltrator? -How do you know they're spies?

Because, sir, we caught them trying to sneak into our campsite.

Not true. We followed that machine. And that's all we were doing.

Following the Black Monster?

Kabore, what he says is true. We have no reason to spy on you.

-Untie them. -But, sir...

-Just hurry up and do it. -Yes, sir.

Pyunma, I can't believe you're still alive. It's been so long.

Tell me, has Mamado come with you?

I was hoping I'd find him living here with you.

I'm very sorry. Well, I'm glad that at least you're safe.

008, what's happening here?

Nothing. We've been catching up on old times.

We fought together in a revolution.

008 is your new name? And how did that come about?

It's too complicated to explain.

More importantly, we need to find out what you know...

...about the Black Monster.

That's amazing. And it just appeared in the nick of time?

I'm positive it's Black Ghost's weapon design.

“Black Ghost?” What is that?

An organization that plants the seeds of war.

Then they make a huge profit selling weapons of mass destruction...

...all over the world. It's our mission to defeat these death salesmen.

But that weapon's helping us fight for justice.

That's what you think.

Listen, Kabore. You're all being duped by Black Ghost's people.

We're convinced that this organization wants to expand the civil war here...

...and bring on more bloodshed. That would wipe out this country for good.

Please, give it up. Turn over the Black Monster to us, Kabore.

I can't do that.

Right now we need the Black Monster to overthrow Unbaba.

Getting him out of power is the only way I know to save Muamba.

I want you to see that dealing with Black Ghost can be very dangerous.

He may end up double-crossing you.

Pyunma, we risked our lives fighting for independence.

I can't let Unbaba take that away.

There's danger here, don't you see?

All I can see is that we've been fighting for freedom for many years.

I don't care if what you say about Black Ghost is true.

I'd be willing to sell my soul to the devil if it would get that dictator...

...out of power and send him to hell.

Hip hip hooray, Black Monster!

-Die, Unbaba! -Die! Die! Die!

-Freedom for all, and we want it now! -We will wait no more!

-We've been slaves for too many years! -Freedom now!

There's your answer.

The men have spoken. They can't wait for freedom any longer.

Hold on a minute and listen to me. You need to think over what I've told you.

There must be another way to reach your goal.

Time to cut to the chase. Let's destroy it.

We're not your enemies.

You're making a mistake.

Looks like you've chosen a new path to go with your new name, 008...

...formerly Pyunma.

You're wrong.

Where did the rebels get such a powerful weapon?

That's something I just can't figure out.

Then this bizarre-looking escort comes to take me into hiding.

Here he is, as you requested.

-Good job, Number One. -Why was I brought here?

I thought Glutonia was going to let me escape Muamba.

What's going on? Some sort of double-cross?

-What are you going to do to me? -Calm down, President Unbaba.

There is no need for you to be so upset.

Who...? Who are you? How do you know who I am anyway?

I know everything. You might say I'm a saviour.

-Who are you saving? -Need you ask, Mr. President?

I'm aware you're going through difficult times.

The Glutonian army won't even respond to your calls.

Obviously Glutonia's av oiding you right now.

They're not foolish enough to get involved with a war they can't win.

And frankly, they don't care what happens to you.

They'll just wait to see if you're killed or thrown out of the country.

Then they'll pick a new president...

...and the profitable Metal X business will resume as usual.

Okay, I get the picture. Now let me go.

I don't think you do get the picture. We want to help you.

We are ready to provide you full assistance.

Including an amazing firing squad.

And if you were to make use of our arsenal, that powerful rebel weapon...

...the Black Monster, would be history.

You're saying you could eliminate that thing?

Quite easily, as a matter of fact.

We have weapons that are much more powerful.

But our allegiance comes at a price.

This is nothing but a sales pitch.

I don't buy anything without convincing evidence.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why don't you watch a demonstration of what we can do.

You can place your order afterwards.

All right, show me these weapons.

But let me assure you, they'll have to be impressive to get my order.

Number One, escort him.

Excellent. The plan worked like a charm, as you predicted.

Not that he has any other options to choose from anyway.

When his forces become strong...

...there will be a civil war between the two factions.

With Metal X in the middle of the conflict...

...America will surely get involved.

And then it's only a matter of time before there's another world war.

-Meaning a lot of business for us. -War is good for business.

Look, the distance from point A to point B is 50 miles.

Take a couple of men. You can easily cover that tomorrow.

Yes, sir. We'll leave right after sunup.

About how long do you plan to stay here?

It'd be a cinch to pull off an escape from this camp.

We know that. We're waiting.

-What's the point? -It's very simple.

If we destroy Black Monster and leave...

...Black Ghost will just create another weapon.

Before the fighting is over, Black Ghost will be in control...

...of the production of Metal X.

But the rebels aren't even listening to you. How can you avoid that outcome?

Stop it, that's enough!

-The weapon! -It has been destroyed.

Run! That way! Go!

Keep moving! Over here! Hurry up now!

Yeah! Yeah! Blast them away!

Look familiar?

Now Black Ghost has provided Unbaba's forces...

-... with powerful weapons as well. -We'd better destroy them. Let's go!

Energy magnum!

What?

What happened? Why are they all on fire?

Freezer mode.

Now, that's a real crackup.

That's amazing. Those men are like human rockets.

The 00 Cyborgs!

Hurry up! Go on!

Leave everything to us!

What a lousy demonstration.

Those three rats have ruined everything!

Hey! What's going on here? You said you wouldn't have trouble beating them.

Out of my face!

We won't harm you if you come out with your hands up.

Come on, don't make me come in and get you out.

-Oh, no, 002! -Oh, no, 002!

Go! Wipe out those meddling fools! Quickly!

-They're cyborgs. -Is that what you call them?

002!

Stop, cyborgs. Open your eyes and resist.

You're being used by Black Ghost!

Don't waste it. You know they won't listen to anything you say.

-Just do it. We gotta destroy them. -No!

Accelerator mode!

Hey! Why don't you stop before it's too late!

I don't wanna fight you guys!

That's enough! Maximum accelerator!

Stop it!

Kwame? No, Kwame!

It makes no sense at all.

Why did this happen? He was just a boy, nothing more.

He fought for our right to work and not to be exploited.

Not ever again.

He just wanted to live free and raise his children.

That's the world I wished for too, but not at this price.

Black Ghost...

...his fees are always too high.

It's so unfair.

We've got to get you back to the ship.

Don't worry about me.

But you'd better get these rebels to a safe hideout.

We have another campsite hidden at the far end of the jungle.

Eliminate those cyborg traitors!

Number One, I'm sending you to do it.

I want you to completely annihilate those renegades!

What is it? Anything wrong?

Nothing. Just a feeling.
