Emergency transmission from the Terrestrial Federation on Earth.
From the Earth?
Putting it on screen.
Chairwoman, this is Warrius Zer...
I know who you are. Chairwoman, this is Warrius Zer...
I know who you are.
What do you think you're doing?
Carrying out our orders.
Those orders were to find and defeat Harlock, were they not?
He's just struck again.
It's Planet Serract in the Tohr prominence.
He must be stopped at any cost!
Harlock?
But we never received an S.O.S...
Seems like Harlock struck without warning.
If he isn't stopped soon, the peace treaty is going to fall apart.
Understood.
We'll proceed immediately.
Hey, Planet Serract is right next to us, isn't it?
Nice of Harlock to tip off his location like that.
This is our chance, Captain!
Axel, check bearings.
Checking bearings, heading is now 486.
Chief, full speed ahead!
Full speed ahead!
Captain, we could move in with the Hiryu from here, sir.
Request permission to prepare St. Elmo's fighters for take-off.
Good thinking, I volunteer.
Permission granted, but no improvising this time.
You two stick to procedure.
Yes, sir, we'll follow procedure.
Prepare St. Elmo's fighters for full operation!
Don't forget to leave something for me!
I hope they don't rush in blindly this time...
Don't worry.
I'm sure they learned their lesson on Gun Frontier.
They're starting to grow up.
Right, Mr. Bombardier?
Uh, yes, of course, sir!
This is Hiryu one.
All systems go.
Hiryu two also go.
Hiryu one and two, clear for departure.
Let's do this!
Yeah!
Now, where do you suppose they would've hid the stuff?
They said it was the dome by the control tower, so that must be right there.
Good, let's blow it up and get out of here.
Unidentified air fighters approaching, sir.
Air fighters?
I'm coming up to the target.
I've got a visual, it's Harlock's ship!
We're getting a visual from Hiryu one.
Put it on screen.
That's one tough ship.
Captain, what are we waiting for, can we join them yet?
Not just yet.
Phase Breaker, I want to talk to him first, put me through.
Right away, sir.
But, Captain, we know for certain that he'll never surrender.
I still want to talk to him.
Captain, we've got a communication from the mother ship of those fighters.
What would you like to do?
Put him through.
Harlock, this is Zero.
You must halt your attack immediately...
Leave or I'll have to attack you.
This is my business, understand?
Line out.
So it was that Zero guy that sent the air fighters after us.
Captain, what'll we do about them, sir?
Fire a warning shot, if they ignore it, shoot them down.
You sure about that, sir?
They know who they're dealing with, they should know nobody gets in our way.
We need to remind them.
Aye-aye, sir!
Has he got an attitude!
Captain, let's fire one at him!
Not yet.
We could use the three-angle shock beams...
No, we might hurt someone on the ground.
Ishikura, they're getting a lock on you!
Lousy shot.
Get any closer and we're really going to start shooting you guys!
What the hell, that was a warning shot?
Arrogant bastards!
The enemy has fired, according to procedure, I have the right to engage.
Request permission to return fire!
Understood, permission granted.
First Officer, I need to know what kind of facilities they have on planet Serract.
Yes, sir.
Are you thinking Harlock may have some special motive?
The motives of pirates are always the same, attack, loot and destroy.
What else could there be?
Dammit, they've got way too much firepower, we can't even get close!
We're gonna need backup.
Or at least knock a couple of those guns out, will ya?
Captain, request permission to open fire!
Not yet, First Officer, what have you found?
I'm working on it, I'm verifying the data right now, sir.
You annoying little gnats.
Captain, we've locked onto the dome.
Good, let's blow it.
What did you find?
Nothing significant, sir.
Captain, the only thing on this planet is a small supply base, and there are just...
Fire!
Launch all rays!
Missiles armed and ready, sir.
Good, bombs away.
What?
Civilians?
They are civilians, what the hell is he doing?
Please help...
T-They're civilians!
They've been on this planet for less than 50 years.
There's no way they could have anything that would interest Harlock.
What is he thinking?
Firing missiles.
No!
Don't fire!
Bastard!
Hiryu three, what are you doing?
Wired, you're losing altitude!
Pull back!
Damn...
Hiryu four's been shot, it's going down!
Rayquid, bail out!
What are you doing?
Eject now!
Rai, you're only to fire at the main cannon!
I don't want any more casualties on the ground.
I'll do my best, sir!
Ready and fire!
Incoming energy wave!
The second cannon's been shot!
What's going on, this is supposed to be a military facility.
Why are civilians down there?
The report we got didn't mention any civilians.
We've been hit again, we need to get out of here, sir!
Captain?
Let's pull out.
T-The enemy just disappeared!
What about the radar?
Nothing.
This is unbelievable.
Request to take the Karyu down to ground.
We need to rescue the casualties!
Captain!
Sorry, prepare to set down.
Here.
Thank you.
Mommy.
Mommy, the nice lady picked up my ball for me.
Mommy?
When are you going to wake up?
Mommy?
Those two are gone.
Disconnect their nerve circuits and put them somewhere peaceful.
Doctor!
Doctor, please save Rayquid, he's badly hurt!
He's my crewmate!
He's my friend, please!
Doctor...
No, he can't be dead!
Come on, Rayquid!
Rayquid, open your eyes, come on!
I don't know anymore, Captain.
Look at them.
Those Mechanized Men down there...
They're all in pain, yet they don't make a sound, but...
...they know they're facing death.
Captain, why didn't you stop that ship before it had a chance to do this?
We're gonna need backup.
At least knock a couple of those guns out!
The motives of pirates are always the same, attack, loot, and destroy.
What else could there be?
Captain, request permission to open fire.
Was it because the people on that ship are humans?
What's that supposed to mean?
Captain!
Sir?
If you need anything, just let me know.
I'll do everything in my power to help.
That goes for the victims as well.
Captain!
I've already spoken with him.
Try to keep your emotions on hold for a while.
He did what he thought he needed to do.
The order to fire came too late!
Maybe so.
But it's a captain's job to decide.
Captain, I want to apologize.
If I had gotten the information sooner, none of this would have happened.
You did everything you could, you followed orders just as I asked you to.
It's not your fault.
But, I...
On a ship, a captain has full responsibility for what happens.
Captain...
That's right.
That's why a captain needs a rest every now and then.
Your health is important.
Right, First Officer?
Well, yes.
Please, take a break, I'll relieve you for a while, sir.
But I'm not...
No buts, Captain, go on, take a break.
What's this?
This feeling...
It's like...
...something's about to happen.
Captain, I need to talk to you...
I-I mean...
l-lt can wait until later.
Have a good rest, sir.
I'll have to handle this myself.
Battlyzer, come stand guard here.
Go on, drink up.
I never turned my back on the Earth.
Someday we humans will take back our world and fight for our new dream.
I've got the strongest ship there is and I'm using it to fight for our future.
So Harlock is some noble pirate, huh?
I believed that he was.
When we were sitting at that bar down on Heavy Melder...
...I really thought he was a man of principles.
I obviously misjudged him.
And that misjudgment cost us two important crewmembers...
Rayquid, Wired...
Not to mention all the civilian casualties down here, all because of me!
Don't be so hard on yourself.
From everything you've said, I would have believed in him, too.
He must have had some reason for what he did!
What kind of reason?
I'll never forgive him...
I'll never forgive Harlock for what he did!
It's close...
What's this feeling?
Who's there?
Is someone there?
So...
The first officer of the Karyu isn't quite human, is she?
It looks like your body is reacting to my energy.
I've seen you before...
Who are you?
What do you want?
I didn't come here to answer your questions.
What should I do?
I've got to warn the others!
Don't you realize that you can't do anything?
She read my mind?
But how?
Intruder in the main computer room.
Warning, intruder in the main computer room.
She must've done something...
The computer's been reprogrammed!
Captain!
An intruder?
You sure some civilians didn't accidentally wander in?
Not in the main computer room, that's impossible!
Where's the First Officer?
She went through there and hasn't returned yet.
She what?
Here it is.
What was that?
An explosion detected, fire in the ship!
What?
Fire in the main computer room!
Where the hell is the First Officer?
Someone must be trying to sabotage us!
What?
Tighten security, call the fire crew down there, and watch the bridge.
But, sir...
You don't think...
Could the Karyu's first officer be an enemy spy?
The answer becomes clear...
...when Marina leaves to follow Hel Matear to her homeplanet, Miraiseria.
Next episode of Cosmo Warrior Zero, Marina Everlasting.
Look forward to it.
Long ago, somewhere in the future...
...in a place beyond space and time...
...there's a book for all to see.
What has been, what could be...
Prophesies of the ages.
Every little joy, every sorrow.
Every little tear that is cried.
Every word and deed.
Every thought and feeling.
All written there on the pages.
Some embrace only shadow.
Some embrace the light.
But the lives that we lead are the stories we leave...
...there in the Book of Life.
