Plot
The travelers are searching the site of the lost island of Mu. The local inhabitants - at the command of their priestess, Lady Nasuka - are trying to raise the island, which has a Wolf Crest. Rom spots that the Gandora are there as well, searching a temple. The group head in to investigate and Drill stumbles across a hidden passage containing pictures of ancient Mu. They are confronted by Lady Nasuka, who angrily tells them to leave and say nothing about what they saw. They soon realize she is working with the Gandora and using the natives to find the Wolf Crest for her own means. Leaving Drill, Reina and Jim on a raft, Rom and Jet capture Lady Nasuka, but then the two-headed Lord Gillman (who has been keeping the natives from the Wolf Crest) arrives.
Drill gets tired of waiting and swims off to find the Wolf Crest while Reina follows in Jim, but all three are scared by the creature guarding it. Above land, Lord Gillman battles Rom and Jet with ease until Lord Gillman and Rom end up falling into the sea. Lord Gillman is even more suited to underwater combat but they are separated by a whirlpool. Rom finds an ancient computer and realizes it controlled Mu. Lord Gillman arrives and Rom calls Blade Dragon to fight him - to no avail. Rom then summons Vikung-Fu, but the undersea monster guarding the Wolf Crest destroys Lord Gillman before the battle is finished. It turns on Vikung-Fu but recognizes the Wolf Crest on the robot's chest and leaves him alone. Rom reunites with his friends, explaining that the computer was responsible for the sinking of the city. Meanwhile, the island's occupants rebel and overthrow Lady Nasuka.
