GAMERA -Rebirth-

Mission control: this is Boco.

Joe, can you hear me?

Do you remember our promise?

That we'd still be friends, even if we were apart?

When I thought about next summer,

I used to imagine all of us laughing about our adventures.

I bet you imagined it too, didn't you?

Our very last summer together, Joe.

It really was beyond anything we could've possibly dreamed of.

Joe, I promise you.

I'll do my best.

Because this time, it's our job to protect him.

No changes detected in radioactivity.

Atmospheric pressure remains stable.

- Ready to descend. - Proceed with caution.

There's gas accumulated at the bottom of the chamber.

Same as Indonesia?

No, this one's much bigger.

- - Don't touch the specimen.

The goal is to determine the best--

Method for extraction, I know.

Everyone, move carefully. Don't disturb the eggs, understood?

Roger.

We've landed. Starting our investigation.

Mm.

- -

Hey! What's wrong?

- What's going on? Status report! - Can't tell!

- - What's that?

- -

- -

- Is... that it? - Mm-hm, that's the one.

- Looks kinda old. - It's used, but it should work fine.

- Long distance too? - Sure, that's what it's for.

I know! The antenna'll go at the top of the hideout!

Junichi, you can't even climb.

Not sure why I'd need to, you're the expert.

Ugh, alright.

But you gotta help, Boco.

Okay.

Still, who knew that hunk of junk would cost so much?

It was worth 2.5 million yen when it first launched.

- Really? - That's a bargain.

Sounds like it. Whoa.

Oh, man, the Apollo Program.

I'd love to go to the moon base, it'd be cool to work there, huh?

- What's on the moon anyway? - I think resources and stuff.

D'you know, Boco? The Apollo Project's a cover-up.

Watch out. Junichi's going off about conspiracies again.

I think you've been reading too much Monthly Mu.

Am not!

Everyone thinks the Apollo Program

focused on lunar resource development 20 years ago.

If you think about it,

we'd waste more energy transferring resources back to Earth.

So the only explanation is military occupation of the moon.

Yeah, yeah. Apollo's a big government hoax.

Like the Yoshinogari site and Halley's Comet, right?

What are you talking about?

Halley's Comet and the Yoshinogari site aren't hoaxes.

You gotta get better at knowing when we're messing with you.

- You were messing? - Sure.

Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?

No, but I can ride a bike.

You're the only sixth grader who doesn't, Boco.

Junichi's got a point. You've gotta learn soon.

I know, I know, I'll practice.

- I'll go, make sure you do it. - Alright.

It's not much, is it?

I'd have more, but I had to buy Mu, Wonderlife, and Maya this month.

Aren't they all kind of the same?

Ugh!

You two don't know anything.

I can't ask my mom.

She said I've spent all my pocket money.

Sounds like your "buying textbooks" excuse is wearing thin.

How 'bout you sell your old copies of Mu?

What? You might as well tell me to die.

Hmm, how much more do we need then?

Umm, looks like,

8,400 yen.

- We'll save it in a few weeks. - That's when summer vacation is over.

Well, we can't spend money we haven't got.

- And don't tell me to sell my magazines. - Really?

Alright you two, hold on a sec.

You guys haven't even asked me yet about my money.

Uh, historically speaking--

Ha-ha!

And we'll probably have change to spare!

No way!

Joe, how did you manage to get that much?

Oh! I robbed a bank with my bare hands!

- Wha--? - I'm just messing with ya.

So, d'you think we got enough?

Mm-hm! Joe, this is incredible!

That means we can buy it tomorrow and set it up!

Mm-hm! So that means even when you move...

We'll all be able to keep in touch then! Right?

Like you promised?

Of course, as long as we figure out how to install the antenna.

What's up? D'you need to pee?

Or did you go already?

You're the only one who's wet their pants.

- Hey! -

Let's see, we were in first grade, and you were about to fight some kid.

- Then you got this look on your face... - No, come on. I told you I didn't pee!

Whatever you say, Joe.

- -

Uh, on second thought...

Don't tell me you actually have to piss now.

Joe, have you ever heard of "delicacy"?

Huh? "Delicacy"? Hungry?

Ugh, for heaven's sake...

- What did I say? - It's fine. What time should we meet up?

- Hey! - Oh, jeez!

You peed already?

Uh, no, but I think you should see this.

- Poor guy. - What should we do?

We can't help him. The pond's too deep, it's too risky.

But, if we leave it--

I know, but if we get stuck in the mud, we'll drown.

Unfortunately, I think Joe's right. Too risky.

Oh.

- Huh? - What the hell are you doing, Boco?

Hey! Stop it! Get back here!

It's dangerous!

- Oh. - Hey, it's too deep!

Whoa!

You dumbass!

- Boco! -

- - Why do you always jump in the deep end?

- -

Thanks...

C'mon, let's get out of here.

All right, fine. We made it this far.

Oh, it's massive.

You know guys? We might want to bring him to a museum researcher.

And why is that?

Could be a species no one's discovered before!

What?

I'm pretty sure it's just a big-ass turtle, right?

But it could be a new species of turtle.

Yeah, but it wouldn't feel right

if we took him away from the pond, his home.

Mm.

See ya later, buddy.

What is it?

Ugh!

You two reek. You smell like the toilets behind the gym.

Uhm. Really?

Wait, Junichi. I thought you had to pee.

Oh, I guess I forgot to.

Whoa!

Oh!

- - Oh God, it's disgusting!

I guess we all smell like crap now!

- Aah! - Well, don't just sit there!

Mm.

- See ya. - Bye!

See you two tomorrow.

Ha-ha!

- When does it start? - What?

Summer school.

The week after next, I think?

So, that means that we have about ten days left together.

Yeah, but when I'm done we can hang out again.

Are you sure?

'Course we can!

You know, I... got your back, right?

Huh?

If there's bullies, at your new school.

I'll come and smash their faces in.

Any time you need me, just tell me.

Thanks, but I won't need your help.

Hey, Boco?

Is somethin' wrong?

No, I just... don't want you to worry.

Oh.
