 |
| Joe is on the way to meet the other team members... |
...when suddenly a reflection off
a street light blinds him |
Joe leaves the road and ends up quite
shaken |
Then he notices that he has hit an
old lady |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Since she reminds him of his mother, Joe takes
care of her |
The Phoenix encounters the Grapebomber
Mecha, which blinds their radar AND ... |
their viewscreen, making them fly
blind. This frustrates Ken quite a lot. |
As a consequence, they don't know
where the mecha is - with dire consequences |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The "grapes" of the mecha fall onto
the Phoenix and eat through the hull |
The consequences inside the Phoenix
are not pleasant |
Climbing very high, the God Phoenix
loses the mecha, but is badly damaged |
When Joe takes care of the old woman,
she tells him she misses her son |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Just then, Joe suffers another attack of illness
and gets worried |
When he leaves the home of the old
lady, he can't even see straight |
Joe comes to the meeting too late,
and just mouthes off instead of explaining |
Everybody is astonished then when
Nambu charges Joe with the main mission |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| After the briefing, Ken wants to now what went
on, but Joe won't tell |
Back at Nambu's house, Joe wonders
what is the matter with him |
Jun is worried about Joe, but he
turns her away |
Nambu gives Ken the order to secretly
follow Joe and cover him |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The team goes up again to oppose the Grapebomber |
Joe gets into a bird missile to be
fired into the mecha. The missiles reamins stuck in the hull
of the mecha, which returns to its base |
There, Joe goes straight to Mekker's
room, accusing him of murder using his gas.. |
.. and then proceeds to beat him
up. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Then Joe tempts Mekker into drawing his gun...
but Joe has his out much faster |
However, just when Mekker shoots, Joe is blinded
again and falls... |
...he recovers quickly, only to see that.. |
... Ken has already taken care of Mekker |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Just then, the door closes and gas comes in. |
With some not so gentle hints from Ken, Mekker
realizes he was used by Katse |
Then Joe opens the door easily and they take
Mekker back with them. |
After his return, Joe goes to see the old woman
again. |
 |
 |
|
|
| She tells Joe that her son wrote her and that
she waits for her son to return |
When Joe comes out of the old lady's house, his
illness seems to be gone |
