While they are going underwater at a depth of a few thousand meters, the submarine “Ammonite” breaks down after being hit by methane gas and they are disconnected from Kei, who is above water directing the researchers. Geo finds a mysterious shadow when he goes outside the submarine to fix the machine. He then spots a large giant squid when he spots light from a submarine.
