Story Summary
Raydeen battles a giant, mysterious mechanical robot from the ocean with a transforming head created out of flying saucers. "The many heads of Cerberus!"
Richard Carson and his girlfriend Deena pilot the gigantic Shogun Warrior robot in battle against this terrible new foe whose face turns into a destructive Vortex-Force that shoots a destructive blast of wind. Raydeen responds with Screamer-Hawk Missiles until the Coast Guard shows up and starts to fire at both of them.
Cerberus launches the five components of its head at the Coast Guard ship, which continues to shoot at Raydeen until Carson lifts it out of the water and places the entire boat on the beach out of harm's way.
In addition to a new face, Cerberus grows arms and legs! "Cerberus is complete. Cerberus is mad!"
A half-world away, while making out with Judith on the deck of his research vessel, Ilongo Savage is contacted by Dr. Tambura after a meteor crashes into the ocean nearby.
Meanwhile, Raydeen continues to fight Cerberus while being mindful of collateral damage and human casualties. After a well-timed kick, Raydeen unleashes all of its weapons into the terrible monster, who retreats and flies away. Raydeen transforms into FIrehawk and gives chase, but to no avail. It escapes into the sea!
Back in Japan, Genji is arrested. Ilongo Savage and Judith scuba dive into the deep, searching for the meteorite. They find it, and the terrible monster that lurks inside!
