ULTRA Q
MAMMOTH FLOWER
Currently, a part of mother nature
that surrounds us
is starting to make a strange move.
That's right.
This is a terrifying world where
everything is unbalanced.
For the next 30 minutes, you'll
experience a parting of mind from body
and become swallowed
into this mysterious time.
Hey, Senpai? Right?
Hm?
-Hey.
-Hey.
Oh, that next.
Okay.
-Um, we came to get the flyers.
-Flyers?
Yes. The flyers dropped from the sky.
This isn't the time!
Save it for later! Later!
It's like a war zone.
Did a gang raid this place?
G-Gang?
No, I mean, what caused
this mess?
An earthquake.
Earthquake?
No way. There hasn't been any
earthquakes today or yesterday.
Right, ippei?
Yeah, I can understand if an earthquake
hit the entire Tokyo area.
But not if it only hit this building.
Ippei-kun. Here's work.
Thank you.
Hey, I heard something odd.
Huh?
Something's floating in the moat.
Huh? What's floating?
You should go if you're interested.
Okay, Ippei. Let's go.
Hey, Senpai.
Oh, Ippei-kun!
Here.
-Thank you. Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.
My, Jun-chan!
-Hey.
What are you doing in a place like this?
We're a poor company with only
a Cessna and a helicopter.
We can't eat with just one-time jobs.
This is how we gather our sources.
Anyway, what about you?
I'm enthusiastically chasing a story on
an unknown earthquake.
Really. Maybe you should be
chasing boys than an earthquake.
How rude.
A person died here.
That's not something you disregard, right?
Right.
Anyway, it's a time when you don't
know what could fall from the sky.
I'll count on your campaign to break
the trend of taking lives lightly.
I'd like to teach you,
who writes silly sci-fi stories and
dreams of space, how tough reality is.
What?
Well, thank you.
Jun Manjome is a bit tired of
the real world right now.
Jeez.
I'm tired too...
of you two's arguments.
Don't be smart, you.
Hey Yuri-chan, want to come?
Seems like there's
something odd in the moat.
Something odd?
Yeah.
That was close.
What's that?
-Senpai.
-Hm?
I'm curious about that earthquake.
You're probably curious about
Mi-chan than the quake.
Don't say it so bluntly.
What's that?
I've never seen that.
Hey, hey, don't push!
Excuse me!
Excuse us! Sorry.
What is that?
Oh, it's swimming.
It's swimming.
It's mysterious.
It's creepy.
I wonder what it is.
I wonder.
Watch out! Run!
ICHINOTANI LABORATORY
A strange floating object?
I haven't seen it,
so I can't assume what it is.
But if it appeared by piercing
through the moat's stone walls,
there's a possibility it will
appear elsewhere.
Elsewhere?
Yes. That would be within
100 meters of the root's center.
Help me!
What happened?
A root this thick wrapped up a person!
Senpai.
Right.
Hey, you all right?
Dammit!
Watch out, duck!
Don't move. Stay here.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Oh.
Stay here.
Okay.
All right.
Are you okay?
-Please be careful!
-Yeah!
Dammit!
Hey ippei, give me a hand!
Yes.
-You okay?
-Are you okay?
-Take him.
-Yes.
Hey, hang in there.
C'mon. Hurry, hurry!
-Attack!
-Yes, sir!
So this wrapped up on you.
Yes. It's the same thing
we saw at the moat.
It sucks human blood with its thorns.
Why would this thing
suck our blood?
Exactly.
A Vampire Plant Dracula. Right?
Dracula, now that's something.
Can't you be more serious?
Y-Yes.
It could be a mutation of a plant.
Maybe it's wandering underground
looking for water.
I can't believe it.
This terrifying thing like the devil
is a plant?
If this is only part of it,
the main root could be enormous.
Tokyo will be totally
destroyed at this rate.
Th-That's right. Right?
Commissioner-General!
Okay, this is an emergency!
Here we go.
Senpai, you said something earlier
about tectonic activity.
Yeah.
Maybe it's connected to the plant.
Yeah. Can't say there isn't.
That's it.
That's gotta be it.
Senpai, isn't that right?
What are you all excited about?
It means there's a bulb
of the plant under that building.
Let's say there is.
That bulb grows.
And it loosens the building's base when it
shoots a new root, causing an earthquake.
Is what you're saying?
No?
Hmm, it's not a bad speculation.
But a plant affecting a building...
Now announcing news
on the Giant Flower.
Today at 1 p.m., the government has set up
a Giant Flower emergency headquarters,
with the Defense Agency
and Professors Ichinotani and Genda.
It is now moving in the direction of
eliminating this monstrous plant.
Ippei, work's cancelled.
C'mon, let's go.
Finally!
There has been a case where
a near 2,000 year old lotus seed
has bloomed into a beautiful flower
in our country before.
An ancient plant becoming revitalized by
a mutation is nothing strange.
The power to survive is that strong.
But professor, what about the enormous
size that's beyond plant standards?
Yes.
Think about the mammoth or dinosaurs,
ancient animals that lived in
prehistoric times.
They were all enormous.
We cannot completely deny that
a prehistoric plant
may have grown to such size
and reproduced.
That's why it's a giant flower.
-Hey.
-Yeah.
You there, don't move the lockers!
There're more important things!
Important stuff!
Oh, and you,
only the important documents!
But when you organize,
all of it's important!
-Hey.
You're here just in time. Help us!
Here, this! Help move this.
I can't say no,
since you're giving us jobs.
But isn't this a bit overboard?
What? There's a huge plant bulb
underneath this building!
This place could flip any second!
What?
Anyway, just help us!
Please move this out!
Hurry! Hurry!
-C'mon!
-O-Okay.
Okay, hold the other side.
Hup!
Hurry, hurry! Everyone hurry!
Where're you going?
Ippei's still inside!
-Stop! It's dangerous!
-Let me go!
Earthquake!
-It's an earthquake!
-Mi-chan, watch out!
Hurry!
Ippei-kun!
Mi-chan, hurry!
Hurry, we gotta run!
Watch out!
This way!
GIANT FLOWER
EMERGENCY HEADQUARTERS
Chief, we've sent 200 men
to cut the root of the Giant Flower,
but it was unmanageable.
Fine. Let's burn it with
the flame throwers.
Chief, please wait.
Well, I'm sure there'll be no more
damages beyond now,
so could you wait just one day
for us, scholars, before burning it?
Professor Genda, what are you saying?
That is no ordinary plant.
It is a terrifying bloodsucking plant.
Optimism is dangerous.
Well, one cannot do research
with excessive fear of doing things.
But now is not the time to be
talking about research.
We should be thinking about the people
of the city who are shaking in fear!
Professor Ichinotani,
science can at times be cruel.
Can you not understand how I feel?
What?
Oh, it sprouted.
Forward!
Wait! Please wait on the flamethrower!
There are still people there!
-People?
-Yes.
That's right.
Ippei-kun and Michiko-san are there.
Understood.
Oh, Manjome-kun.
Oh, Professor Genda.
I was about to make a terrible mistake.
About what?
No, just come with me.
Yes.
Yuri-chan, I leave ippei up to you.
Okay.
Mi-chan, you okay?
-I'm okay
Damn it!
-Hey!
-Hey!
Where are you?
You guys search that way.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
-Hey!
-Hey!
Hey!
It's poisonous pollen!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey! Where are you?
Over here!
We're here! Here!
Okay, we'll be right over!
Ouch.
-You okay, Mi-chan?
-I'm okay.
-There! Hey, hang on!
-Hang on!
Yes.
Hang on!
Okay, now's our chance.
Y-Yes.
Quickly!
Hey, hang on!
Hang on!
Mi-chan, you okay?
I'm okay.
Hi, Professor Ichinotani.
My thinking was wrong.
Yes, yes.
Now is the time to eliminate the
enemy of mankind, the Giant Flower.
Thank you, Professor Genda.
Oh, yes.
This is it.
This is the only thing that can get rid
of the Giant Flower.
We're going to suffocate it by anchoring
what plants need most, carbon dioxide.
But who will apply this chemical?
I will do it.
Really.
Manjome-kun, we leave it to you.
Understood.
We're counting on you.
Mi-chan, you all right?
I'm fine.
Okay.
- -Almost there, c'mon.
-Yes.
Hang on.
Ouch.
Ippei-chan!
Oh, it's Ippei-kun! Thank goodness!
Airborne troops, prepare to attack.
Airborne troops, prepare to attack.
Forward!
Is the plane here?
Hmm.
Roger that.
Ready to attack.
Initiate attack.
Initiate attack.
Yeah.
They did it, Mi-chan!
Hooray!
Hey! It's a success!
Yeah.
When mother nature becomes unbalanced,
there's no guarantee that even an elegant
flower wouldn't turn info a monster.
The unbalance zone is
giving us these warnings.
THE END
Until next week.
