Conan ran up to his grandpa and showed him a half-eaten fish he found in their
fish preserve. It was the work "White Nose", a great white shark that roamed
the waters around Remnant Island. Conan decided he had had enough and wanted
to challenge White Nose (!)
He dived into the sea and sure enough White Nose was just nearby. He provoked
White Nose and it chased after him. Armed with only his harpoon, Conan eluded
White Nose by swimming among the submerged pre-war buildings. When he
made sure that White Nose would chase after him no matter what, Conan headed
towards a spot above which he had made a falling-rock trap. White Nose
took the bait and was instantly buried under a pile of rocks. Conan thought
he got White Nose finally but when he tried to examine it more closely,
White Nose revived and chased after him, with blood in its eyes. Conan
swam for his life and took refuge on top a rock outcrop above water. This
didn't stop White Nose, who leaped out of the water and attacked Conan with
its razor-sharp dorsal fin. Conan blocked the attack with his harpoon, breaking it
into two. Conan realized he wouldn't be able to block another attack with
the broken harpoon, so he poised himself and when White Nose jumped out
of the water again Conan leaped into the air and plunged the
harpoon right into White Nose's heart. White Nose and Conan went down together
into the water, their descent finally halted when White Nose hit the dead end
of a tunnel.
Conan was exhausted but had the strength to lift White Nose and carried it
above his head. He wanted to show it to his grandpa but a tern (sea bird)
attracted his attention and brought him to a beach where a girl was
lying facedown and motionless. Conan had never seen a girl before, so
cautiously he approached the girl and poked her with his toe. The girl stirred
and scared Conan. He poked her a second time and she woke up. But when
she lifted her head to look at Conan, she could only see the body of White
Nose that Conan's still holding above his head. She thought it's a monster
and fainted again. Conan was also scared and rushed back to tell his grandpa.
His grandpa was both surprised and delighted to learn that other human
beings survived the war.
Grandpa carried the girl back to their house and took care of her. The
next day the girl woke up early and walked out of the house towards the
seashore. Conan followed her and saw her talking with terns. The girl also
saw Conan and told him that her name's Lana
and she came from a distant island called
High Harbor. Conan was fascinated
by the fact that there are hundreds of people living on High Harbor, since
the only human beings he knew were his grandpa and a few others...
Suddenly a plane appeared in the sky and Conan thought it's a bird.
But Lana told him to hide since that was a hydroplane from
Industria and they're here to look for
her...
Conan's grandpa also saw the hydroplane from his house and he ran to greet
them, thinking that finally he could rejoin the other survivors of the war.
But when he saw uniformed Industrians emerge from the hydroplane with
weapons in hand, he knew they were not friendly. The Industrian commander
Monsley told Conan's grandpa that they
were looking for Lana ad ordered him to gather the inhabitants of the
island for questioning. Conan's grandpa led them to his house and took out
a rocket launcher from his room. He threatened to fire it unless they
leave the island. Mosley backed off but one Industrian soldier fired
at grandpa. The bullet hit the rocket grandpa's holding and it exploded.
Conan and Lana were watching from a distance but when Conan saw his
grandpa's hurt, he ran towards the house. The warhead of the rocket meanwhile
flew off and struck the ground near where Lana was hiding. Lana ran and
was captured by the Industrians. Conan hurried back to the house and saw that
his grandpa was seriously injured. Grandpa told Conan to go after Lana and
to save her. The Industrians took Lana on board the hydroplane
Falco and was about to take off, when
Conan leaped and landed on top the wing of the plane. The plane took off
with Conan still hanging on the wing...
