 She enlists Miyamoto's help and they pursue the alien. The crash site is covered up as a rocket explosion. The "Daggra" and ship are housed in the science institute. Mizoguchi hears of this alien and goes to the lab. His meddling leads to the alien causing his ship to shoot a hole through buildings, cars and trees. Milly and Miyamoto investigate the day after. They make it to the alien first and Milly reconsiders killing the alien. Mizoguchi and his death squad quickly come in and capture the alien and space ship.
 
New information is obtained, from the local black market dealer, about the alien. They head off to an oil rig. Many gun fights later, the two heroes are triumphant in saving the alien. Mizoguchi lays dead and the "Daggra" pick up their comrade. Milly fades away leaving Miyamoto by himself.
 
Miyamoto gives up his guns and walks away into the rain. A criminal spared from the boat, shoots Miyamoto in an alley. He gets up moments later and checks his coat. Milly saves his life with a note on a bullet proof piece of metal. The film ends with Miyamoto walking away with the rain stopped.
