Jormungand (ヨルムンガンド)

Though I devour the five lands

and drink the three oceans dry,

I am powerless against the sky,

for I have neither wings, nor legs, nor hands.

I am the world snake.

My name is Jormungand.

A state-of-the-art fighter just like that one killed my parents with its payload of high-tech bombs.

There are those who invent new weapons,

those who manufacture them,

those who sell them,

and those who use them.

I will hate them for all eternity.

I wonder if God knows how I feel.

Move your feet, soldier!

Come on! One, two! One, two!

She's Koko Hekmatyar, a young arms dealer.

I travel with an arms dealer.

All eight of my men are already here.

You'll be number nine.

They all have a screw loose, but don't be alarmed.

This will be your first time meeting them, but sadly there's no time to tell each other our live's stories.

We have a bit of a problem.

The boondocks of Eastern Europe are holding things up.

I'm making it your job to help out with that.

This will be your rite of passage ceremony

as well as a test of your skills.

Mao. Wiley.

Who's the kid, Koko?

He?

Listen up!

This is Jonah.

Your new recruit is a child soldier?

And he's got iron. Shit...

Don't wet your pants just yet.

Be so kind as to explain the situation, Tojo.

Same as the last time you asked.

Our container is still held on port premises.

The Customs Safety Agency wants to hear from you, Koko.

Seems they want to keep it.

Which means we need to get our stuff back.

Comprende?

I don't give a damn.

Just tell me who to shoot.

Lehm! Valmet!

Prepare to move out! Get going!

Miss Hekmatyar, are you aware of the repercussions this container will have on my country?

The military can never get their hands on it.

If you plan on doing this regardless, you'll reap what you sow!

You'll regret this, girl!

No, you will.

What do you think of your new comrades, Jonah?

Nothing.

That's so cold.

Before hiring you, I looked into your past.

I know where you lived and where you fought.

I know what you like and what you hate.

I know the reason you were exiled.

You hate weapons, don't you, Jonah?

You don't even want to answer?

I hate talking.

I know. But you'll have to, working under me.

So? Opinions, Valmet?

About Jonah?

So far it's been all introductions. How would I have an opinion?

I don't know. He seems very tense.

Koko is in danger! She's alone in the car with that creepy boy!

This happens every time there's a new recruit!

If something happened to her, I'd kill the traitor and then myself.

Hey, Lehm! Don't start smoking just because we're alone.

Put out the cigarette or open the window.

Sure, sure.

When did you light it?

The smell will get in my hair!

Say...

What is it? Ask anything!

How do you ordinarily treat people who tail you?

"Shoot first, ask never!"

He opened fire!

Jonah!

Jonah! Jonah!

Say something before you start shooting!

That startled the hell out of me!

Don't be absurd.

Those were just scouts.

We're in for the real show now.

I have the container that belongs to that gun kid Koko Hekmatyar in my port.

We need to keep it from the air force.

Do you want to know what's in it?

Upgrades for three squadrons that form the backbone of our country's air defense.

It would put our air force on par with those of our neighbors.

You know what would happen to our country if the military got the shipment and installed the upgrades.

At any rate, make sure the police stay out of this.

There's a firefight?

Don't worry, I dispatched a unit.

All hope is lost if they make it to the port.

Over.

That's one tough van.

And their counterattack is pissing me off.

This is bogging us down.

We have to hurry or Koko will be out of escape routes.

I'm doing my best.

Lehm, get me closer to the van.

You serious?

Koko, the left lane.

A new enemy?

Let's cruise over to the port, sweety!

The Voschod 6?

That damn old fart!

Looks like the two behind us took care of the rest.

And the guys in the jeep stopped firing after we got off the highway.

Jonah, you called me Koko there, didn't you?

I'm sure you did! I like that! It's so kind! Keep calling me—

Koko! Koko!

Time to go to hell.

Save us a spot, gun girl.

Heads down!

I'll blow you to the moon!

They've got an anti-tank missile!

An FGM-148 Javelin?!

He laughed?

They need twenty seconds to reload.

I got this. They won't get a second shot.

All units and the Hewlett port guards are to withdraw.

All members of Voschod 6, pull back.

I repeat. Voschod 6, pull back.

Our country must now brace for war.

It's no longer in my hands.

Let's assume you killed me to get back at arms dealers.

You'd have to scatter my water boys when they surround you.

Maybe they don't look it, but they can be pretty fierce.

So, what would you need for that?

Guns, of course.

Could you live without weapons?

Of course not.

You'll live your whole life with a gun in hand.

You hate them more than anyone,

but just as well you also know you can depend on them.

Follow and obey me, Jonah.

I am an arms dealer.

I can teach you to accept guns.

Why do you sell weapons?

For world peace.

Wake up, Jonah.

Your shift is up next.

Swap with me. Join Lehm the geezer.

You— I should get some sleep.

Put something warmer on! It's cold.

I'm so damn sleepy.

Good morning.

Morning.

Rare for you to ask questions.

So what I gathered from that was:

Why is an extremely skilled, battle-hardened and unrivaled soldier like me obeying Koko, an arms dealer little more than a girl?

I don't remember all the praise.

You've only been with us for a few days, so it might be difficult to understand.

I do it...

because it's fun.

Koko, that hurt! Are you sleepwalking again?

Sorry, Valmet!

Everyone has their own reasons, don't they?

One day when you've found your own reason, you'll understand.

You'll figure out what it means to be part of the group and how skilled—

Skilled... Where was I?

The toilet's the other way, Koko.

This is an emergency!

A convoy has entered the country from the north.

If the information and the numbers are to be believed,

then they are transporting Mil 24D attack helicopters,

more commonly known as the Hind D.

There are fifteen disassembled ones and spares for all.

This is obviously the work of someone who got wind of our operations and wants a piece of the pie.

This is just too convenient.

But that's to be expected.

The real issue is...

Headquarters told me about this.

They'll cut my pay if this goes bad.

I'm in deep shit.

Try not to break your arm there or you'll make it worse.

Commence operations.

We need to prevent their delivery!

I expect this will get ugly, so prepare to swat flies.

I want you to be in top form.

Aye, ma'am.

Well, I'll leave you all to that.

Valmet! You and Tojo will negotiate with the Defense Ministry.

Lehm, Hugo, Lutz and Mao: Get your weapons.

You will be my backup.

Wiley, R! Stay here and act as a relay between me and HQ.

Jonah, with me.

Head out.
