The latest ISO weapon factory is used by Galactor and manufactures
Mekanika. It's a machine which, according to the plan on a microfilm,
can change its form constantly.
The Science Ninja Team follows Mekanika. But when they lose sight
of it, they continue searching individually before meeting in
Nambu's house.
While searching a tunnel where they lost sight of Mekanika, Jinpei
discovers a base through a hole in the surface and sneaks into
it. While trying to destroy the base, he finds a micro cassette.
Judging from the behaviour of the Galactor members, this cassette
seems to be very important and Jinpei takes it with him while
fleeing. It contains the plans needed to change the form of Mekanika.
Nambu makes a new plan, based off the cassette, and instructs
the Science Ninja Team how to install this plan in Mekanika.
As Mekanika transforms, there's a chink between the different
parts of the casing. Ken sneaks into Mekanika through one of those
chinks and wants to insert Nambu's cassette into the computer,
but gets into a melee with Katse who was in the pilot's seat.
Ken dives under Katse's arm and somehow manages to insert the
cassette.
Mekanika, according to Nambu's plan, transforms into a fair. When
Katse sees that, he flees.
X, intending on using the strong destructive tendencies of
humans, especially children, releases Kabutoron in the city. It
destroys things using the children's brain waves.
The children are happy when they find big stag beetles in one
of the open areas, something which rarely happens in town. Also
Jinpei finds one of the bugs and brings it home.
In that night, each of the children's stag beetles grow large
and they pull the children inside their bodies, fly out the room
and start to destroy the city.
While flying, Ken discovers how Kabutoron attacks a nuclear plant.
But since Jinpei is missing, the God Phoenix cannot take off.
Ken transmutes into his G1 plane and uses his X-ray on Kabutoron.
Because he sees a child in the interior, he ceases to attack.
The four members of the Science Ninja Team shadow Kabutoron and
discover a base hidden in an ancient ruin.
In the interior of the base, an operation intending to remove
the children's brain and install them into Kabutoron is about
to begin. A drill is just touching Jinpei's head when he's saved
by a hair's breadth by Ken and Jun. They save the other children
with Joe's help. Ken and the others get into the God Phoenix.
Bombed by Red Impulse, Kabutoron blows up together with the base.
A huge whale keeps attacking harbours. While investigating
a group of whales, the Science Ninja Team discovers a huge whale
heading for this group. The huge whales fires a rocket aiming
for the God Phoenix and flees, pushing aside the other whales.
In reality, it's a Galactor submarine camouflaged as a whale.
They want to follow the huge whale submarine, but, in order to
save a young whale under attack by orcas, the G4 flies away. During
all this, the submarine gets away. Nambu reproves them because
of their squeamishness and puts a transmitter on the small whale
so that he can help in the search for the big whale.
The God Phoenix goes to the Arctic Circle, following the small
whale. In order to search for the base, Ken and Joe leave the
God Phoenix and encounter two men who introduce themselves as
forest-keepers, but are then attacked from behind. Ken is baffled.
Joe says that this is Galactor's trick and that his parents got
murdered by the very same trick.
The Science Ninja Team discovers the base and sneaks into it.
They learn that a group of submarines is about to leave and attack
the harbours in the world. They install explosives in the base
and in the submarines.
But, in order to help the little whale who ended up in the base,
Jinpei dives with him into the sea. The Science Ninja Team can't
stop the operation at this point, and escapes leaving Jinpei.
But after the explosion of the base and the submarines, they are
contacted by Jinpei, saying that he was saved by the small whale,
and everybody is very relieved.
The Ruman Kingdom is known as the Gambling Kingdom. Galactor,
guaranteeing the king's position, is channeling millions in riches
out of the country. His highness Prince Luga's heart is torn by
the people moaning with the high taxes imposed by the kingdom.
So he contacts the ISO and offers to hand over a microfilm containing
the location of the Galactor bases and headquarters to them. He
does this knowing that it's against his father the king's, orders.
In order to lay their hand son the film, the Science Ninja Team
takes part in a race sponsored by the prince in which everybody
can participate. But the encounter obstacles set by Galactor,
who know the prince's plans. They're lured, together with the
prince, into the base located in the interior of the kingdom.
Katse wants to force them into exchanging the film against the
king's life. But the prince has already handed over the film to
Ken. Katse gets angry and shoots the king. The prince, clinging
to his father's body, cries very much. But he has now his duty
towards the people of the kingdom.
Katse wants to take back the film by force. In order to achieve
this wants to cut open Jinpei's stomach, since he pretended to
swallow down the film. After the ensuing brawl, Joe has Katse
cornered and is about to take away his mask, but Katse get away
again by a hair's breadth. Despite the fact that they saved the
prince's life, the film, which cost a huge sacrifice, was burned
as well.
A Galactor mole mecha appears. The Science Ninja Team is contacted
and starts to meet, but on the way there, Joe wants to save a
small dog beside his mother, who was killed in the attack. Joe
suffers a rocket attack. The mecha starts attacking the God Phoenix
as well, but, since it gets weak in the sun, it has to withdraw
at dawn.
In the examination it becomes known that Joe got hit in the head
by a fragment of the rocket. Since it's a very dangerous area
an operation is impossible. Also the attempt in the high speed
centrifuge fails. Then a message arrives saying that the mecha
has appeared again.
The other four members are mobilized, but their thoughts remain
with Joe. But because the G2 car does not meet up with them, the
God Phoenix cannot use its normal powers. At that moment, Joe
appears in the G-2. He's taken immediately into the God Phoenix,
but while they are still thinking about the reunion, they are
caught in the mecha's hand. The God Phoenix wants to escape its
certain doom, but it's impossible. Joe presses the firing button
for the rockets and blows up the mole mecha. The God Phoenix is
caught in the resulting shock wave and is thrown away rotating
heavily, but with Ryu's steering capabilities they can recover.
The resulting jolt gets the fragment out of Joe's head and he
escapes alive.
A horse owned by a doctor who is an authority in the area of
cyborgs, participates and wins with an astonishing performance
at the world-famous horse grand prix. When Nambu sees this video,
he guesses that this horse is a cyborg. He orders the Science
Ninja Team to guard the Doctor so that his astonishing cyborg
technique is not abused.
But when Ken and the others arrive, it's already too late. Only
one Galactor badge has been left behind and the Doctor has vanished.
Dr. Henjinman has been brought to the base where he recognizes
X's real face. He threatens X, saying that he will reveal his
secret if he is not made X's representative. X reluctantly agrees.
The Doctor's cyborg horses attack a meadow. The Science Ninja
Team pursue them and sneak into the base. Inside, they find the
doctor standing before X to reveal his face, just as he wanted.
The doctor falls down as he's hit by a light rays projected by
X when Katse pressed a button. Katse orders the horses to attack
the city and flees. The Science Ninja Team escapes and blows up
the base.
Dying, the doctor tells them to press the buttons on the horses'
backs. After the Science Ninja Teams has pressed the buttons on
eac of the horses, he activates the self destruct mechanism of
the horses and silently dies.
A uranium mining factory at the bottom of the sea is attacked
by the mecha "Kingdragon". Since a guard vessel with
much more power than the God Phoenix was beaten during the attack,
Nambu does not order the Science Ninja Team deployed. But Ken
disobeys Nambu's orders and goes to face the mecha in the God
Phoenix.
But the God Phoenix is no match against the enemy and even their
trump card, the firebird, is beaten by the much higher temperatures.
Nambu orders the Red Impulse group to attack the mecha, but the
Red Impulse commander believes that Ken should face the enemy
again and refuses Nambu's order.
So Nambu comes up with another plan. He wants to install a cooling
device in the God Phoenix, which is then supposed to react with
a minus bomb to be installed in the interior of the mecha to freezing
the enemy. Knowing this will be very dangerous, Ken applies for
the job of installing the minus bomb.
Hiding in a swarm of tuna, Ken sneaks into the mecha. He succeeds
in placing the bomb, but he has no more time to escape as the
mecha starts to freeze from the icy firebird.
The Science Ninja Team is worried and wondering about Ken, when he suddenly appears in front of them from a crack in the mecha, like an immortal bird.
From the cellar of a bowling alley, the "Mecha Ball"
appears and starts to destroy the city.
Because of the Mecha Ball's simple structure, an attack is futile
since there is no weak point. Opposing his four eager teammates,
Ken decides not to go out, saying that if they attack without
a chance for winning, they will only die a useless death.
At the same time, Ken watches Jinpei move a pachinko ball with
a magnet and gets an idea how to defeat the mecha.
When Nambu hears Ken's proposal, he immediately builds a huge
electrical magnet in the middle of the alps and decides that the
God Phoenix must lure the mecha there.
But with the mecha lured halfway to its destination, it changes
its course to an international nuclear plant. Ken wants to get
into the mecha himself and steer it towards the magnet. Joe wants
to stop him, but Ken convinces him and flies away from the God
Phoenix.
Getting in the mecha alone, Ken defeats the Galactor members and
changes the course of the mecha. He destroys the steering panel,
making sure the course cannot be changed anymore.
As Jun holds her breath and watches, the mecha ball is drawn towards
the magnet and explodes. Ken's figure is reflected in the tear-filled
eyes of the four teammates, similar to a bird flying in the sky.
Scientists from the ISO headquarters are murdered one after
the other and Nambu orders the Science Ninja Team to act as bodyguards.
The Science Ninja Team separate for their guard duty. During Ken's
guard, he surprisingly meets Galactor's Ninja Blackbirds and follows
them, but loses sight of them near an amusement park. At the same
time, Jun and Jinpei are attacked by a Neon Giant which appeared
accompanied by the sounds of a flute. In order to let the scientist
escape, they offer themselves as bait, but fall off the street.
Jun reports that the Neon Giant resembles the Indian statue standing
before the amusement park where the Black Birds vanished. Because
of that, the Science Ninja Team waits for the night and sneaks
into the park to start investigating.
Since Jun said that she heard the sounds of a flute, Ken follows
a flutist who leads him into an underground base. It's Katse in
disguise. Katse tells Ken that this night, Nambu will get attacked.
Ken gets in contact with Joe and Ryu, telling them to hurry to
Nambu's location, but he's caught in a pertinacious attack from
the Black Birds. Before his eyes, Katse steers the Neon Giant
with the flute's tune. When Jun and Jinpei intrude, Ken flings
the flute away, and orders Jinpei to play on it. Through Jinpei's
nonsensical tune, the Neon Giant overheats and explodes. The plan
to asssasinate Nambu has failed.
An ISO volcanic research center is attacked. The God Phoenix,
starting the investigation, is surprised by the Magma Giant and
escapes into the sea where the Giant cannot follow it.
When Joe says that the Magma Giant's face resembles the face of
Jesus Christ sculptured into a steep slope in the national park,
the Science Ninja Team goes there to investigate. A girl climbing
the Jesus Christ sculpture is suspected to be a Galactor agent
by Joe and questioned, but she answers that she's here to sculpture
the statue, continuing the tradition of her family in the third
generation.
Together with the girl they go into the cave found in the steep
slope and discover a base. The Jesus Christ face sculpted in the
slope, is plunged into lava seething in the interior of the base
and comes out as the Magma Giant. Seeing this, Ken calls the God
Phoenix. At the top of the base, there's a special glas which
is actually at the bottom of a sea. The sea is used as a lense
to heat the magma, using the sunlight. With a rocket, they break
the glas and thus destroy the base.
When a message comes in from Nambu that the Magma Giant is heading
towards a city, the Science Ninja Team split up in their individual
machines and lure the Magma Giant towards the sea. The Magma Giant
cannot resist and steps into the sea. Through the sea water he's
instantly cooled and becomes a black piece of rock, standing still.
The girl then gets her chisel to begin sculpting again.
ISO ships are attacked one after the other by Galactor's black
ray. And because Ryu is napping in the God Phoenix, he cannot
be mobilized.
Ryu feels responsible and gives Nambu his bracelet back, while
shaking off his teammates who want to stop him. He then goes back
to the fishing-village where he was born. During this time the
fishing areas in the village become polluted through unknown causes.
Since Ryu's father is the co-operative head, is blamed by the
village people. Ryu tells his father to ask Nambu to analyse the
sea water.
In the analysis, a matter is found which results from a process
to produce metal. Nambu thinks it's Galactor's deed and arrives
in the fishing village with the Science Ninja Team.
Thinking that the sea is strange, Ryu, together with Ken who has
been following him, discovers a machine in the water shaped like
a ray, which can fly in the sky and dive in the sea. Following
it, they discover a base and sneak into it, but end up getting
caught. When they succed in barely escaping, Galactor is about
to deploy the ray machines to attack the world. The two men lock
themselves up in the command room and defeat Galactor by letting
water flow into the base, but they wind up getting caught into
the base themselves.
Ken reports to Nambu that the destruction of the base has been
accomplished by Ryu and requests that he be taken back into active
service. The two men, waiting for their death, are rescued by
the G4 machine. Back on surface, Ryu gets his bracelet back from
Nambu.
The ISO gets a message from Lucy, one of the executives at
Galactor, that she wants to reveal the location of their headquarters
in exchange for $ 10 billion. Therefore they contact Lucy by having
Joe team up with her in the world customer car endurance race
across Africa. The other 4 team members are going to act as guards
for their scout.
After Joe gets into the car, he expects the information immediately,
but Lucy says it's not possible until the rally is over.
On the way, they are attacked by mechas camouflaged as animals.
It is Galactor who have come to know of Lucy's treason. But with
Ken and the other's help, they escape the attacks and continue
the rally. As they approach the finish line, Lucy asks her old
friend Joe whether they don't want to team up and take over Galactor.
Evading all kind of obstacles, the team of Lucy and Joe wins the
race and gets $ 100'000 in prize money. In the tea room, Joe demands
that Lucy gives him the information as offered. When Lucy tries
to answer, she suddenly starts to move strangely and finally breaks
through a wall and falls to the ground where she explodes. She
was a cyborg manufactured by Galactor, and a radio signal emitted
by X caused her to self destruct.
Joe is taken aback by Lucy who is now nothing more than a pile
of iron fragments. His anger towards Galactor is ignited again.
Children keep dissolving into thin air. Even the members of
the Science Ninja Team become eye witnesses to one of the disappearances.
Ken follows some tire tracks on the ground and enters a mirror
maze. There he discovers some snail mechas, but they become transparent
and disappear.
Galactor is collecting children with strong brain waves in order
to produce the brain wave monster Alphagila. The monster reads
the secrets of the ISO in its institutions, and then destroys
them. Nambu enhances Jun's brain waves for a while and makes her
pose as a bait. The Science Ninja Team locates her radio signal,
sneaks into the base beneath the mirror maze and saves the children.
Then, based on the information he got, Katse is going to an uranium
storage room in the desert.
But, because the interior of the room becomes a mirror dome, the
mechas which snuck in and should be transparent, become visible.
In reality, they fell into the trap Nambu prepared. The mechas
are thrown aside by the fast-approaching God Phoenix.
The Science Ninja Team thinks that they have cornered Katse for
sure this time, but he gets away again, disappearing in blue-white
flames.
Jinpei and Ryu visit the Shirayuki orphanage where Jinpei grew
up, in order to play with friends. The children beg them to take
them to watch some kickboxing. At the same time, in a volcanic
area, strange things are happening. Ken and the other two go to
investigate, but don't find anything extraordinary.
After watching the fight, the children go to ask the winner, Galack
X, for an autograph. They learn however that he was trained with
deadly weapons in his boxing gloves. They are caught by the female
assistant and taken away. Ryu, following Galack X by Jinpei's
request, battles with Galack X, but gets hurt. He contacts Ken
and the others.
Jinpei, following the children, sneaks into a building behind
the orphanage. There's a Galactor base and the assistant is Katse
in disguise. Katse intends to have the now inactive volcano erupt
and burn the city. Jinpei's clackers hit the switch and the eruption
begins. Katse escapes in a rocket.
With Ken and others, who had now arrived, they defeat Galack X
and save the children. But the lava is flowing out of the mountain
in direction of the city. Burning the orphanage, it continues
its way. Despite his injuries, Ryu suddenly comes flying in the
God Phoenix. They unite and destroy the mountain with a rocket,
succeeding in damming up the lava. The city is saved, but the
orphanage is completely burned. The Science Ninja Team starts
to rebuild it, together with the children.
A water shortage is occurring everywhere. As if to pursue the
beaten enemy, an invisible enemy continues to pound, destroying
dams and water tanks. The Earth is put into a grave situation.
The God Phoenix is mobilized and discovers the flying mecha Kamisoral
which has become a white shadow. Merely flying past it causes
great damage and missiles are useless since they can be cut apart
by the mecha's sickle.
The Science Ninja Team somehow manages to escape and report to
Nambu. During this time, an announcement from Katse is received
saying that tomorrow will be the last day for mankind.
Nambu guesses that the Mecha will attack a nuclear power plant
next. In order to create turbulences and a vacuum, which are regarded
to be the mecha's weak point, a plan to create artificial rain
is changed to the size of a typhoon.
Equipped with a special filter, the God Phoenix goes to the power
plant and succeeds to lure the mecha in the test area for the
artificial rain fall.
While waiting for the artificial typhoon, the God Phoenix is caught
by the mecha and has to fight very hard. The missiles show no
effect either and the God Phoenix, caught in the sickle of the
mecha, is drawn into the typhoon together with it.
In one instance, the force of the mecha's sickle is diminishes
because of the thunderstorm's shock. The God Phoenix is able to
escapes. The Mecha is drawn into the eye of the typhoon by the
vacuum and explodes. The Earth's crisis is over.
