In the endless universe, where even light gets lost,
Travels a man in his spaceship Comet.

CAPTAIN FUTURE
RAW: AST4U Blu-ray rip Re-encode: Peter Translation & Edit: Peter Styling: Kai & Peter
When I was just a little child
I flew about here and there
And lay me down in the grass
To spread the wings of my soul
Wherever I'd like to go, I could go there for sure!
In the time, when I loved you
Learned the wings, which I'd forgotten
Again, in the sky of dreams
How they could fly!
Wherever you look, there's always universe
Wherever you look, there's always future
Wherever you go, there is universe
Wherever you go, there is FUTURE!
A mysterious dark star was about to destroy the Solar System.
Dr. Zarro and his villainous companions
claimed, to be able to stop the dark star.
He blackmails the Solar System Government.
Captain Future arrives at Charon,
A planet in Solar System 61 in the Swan Constellation.
There he travels with one of Zarros men to the icy
Northern snow area, to search the Ape-people.
- Episode 27 - "A Giant Dark Star Approaches!" part 3 of 4 The Story of the Monster Hunter
Take cover!
There are rapids!
A Bibur... That is a Bibur!
What is that?
-It is Kiri. Good Timing. -Kiri?
He is the lonely Bibur-hunter.
He surely knows something about the Ape-people.
Yes!
You are immediately regaining strength again?
The Bibur is the most dangerous beast of prey on Charon.
Its head almost can't be hurt.
Its brain is in its tail.
In its tail?
-That's in the water. -This way he is invincible.
The submarine wants to bring the tail to the surface.
He did it!
Careful!
Grag!
Help!
Good job, Grag. Fix his tail.
Hurry up, Captain!
Did you see that, Captain? The gummi puppet could never have done it.
Look there...
Why do you get in my way?
Honourable Kiri?
Is that perhaps the little Tharb up there?
Honourable Kiri, we need your help!
Please drink something.
Thanks.
This wine is made from the milk of the giant rats of Charon.
A curiosity, but you have presented me with a Bibur.
As Bibur-hunter I want to show my gratitude for this.
So you want to know more about the monsters with white fur?
Yes. The Captain wants to know.
Everything, you could tell us, would be helpful.
Lets see...
Perhaps I am the only Earthling, who has encountered them.
They were a peculiar troop.
They called themselves Stygians.
As you know, I make a living from selling fur.
One day I travelled out further than usual.
A Bibur.
I should have sensed, that something wasn't right.
Bibur are careful creatures.
They rarely go on the ice.
But I was in a state of hunters fever.
But that was impossible.
I just stared angrily at the ice columns.
Then I was shocked.
You are Stygians, aren't you?
Make yourself known.
So that was the monster with the white fur.
Just a moment.
Don't say the Stygians are monsters.
Despite their appearance.
For them the Earthlings look like monsters too.
I understand.
Furthermore they were in the position, to subject other planets,
but deliberately choose not to.
Because they namely are peaceful.
Take a look at Earthlings however.
They don't hesistate, to attack other planets, when they want something.
Who are the monsters then?
I am also one of them.
Please forgive me. You are right.
But why do the peaceful Stygians work together with Zarro?
How do they transform themselves?
They can create illusions.
They can brake light in different ways
and steer it to the observer.
Did that come from their culture?
Yes. They feared the inhabitants of Earth.
That is why they developed this mechanism.
Mechanism?
Are there still Stygians living in the areas,
that the Earthlings shun?
No, they said, they wanted to seek another planet.
Another planet? Like Cerberus or Styx?
One of these?
They did not tell me that.
After all, I'm also one of the feared Earthlings.
Cerberus is a prison planet.
Styx is a water-world.
That means, Zarro has his support-base
on one of these two planets.
I can hear a ship, sounds like the Comet.
They must be worried, because we didn't report.
May we use your Televisor?
Because I don't like noise, it is mostly turned off.
But because it's you, Captain...
-Here. -Thanks.
Comet? Comet? Here Captain Future speaking.
We have searched for you. They have taken Professor Simon.
-What? -What?
Zarro attacked the Astro-observatory.
Professor Kane was saved, but they've got Simon.
Marshal Ezra is looking for you.
But until now without success.
Damn.
Grag, we are flying back to Tartarus immediately.
This damned Zarro!
Locate our signal
-and pick us up immediately. -Will do!
He came with wife and child to this planet.
A Bibur has killed his family.
Then he became Bibur-hunter.
He hardly has contact with other Earthlings.
I collapsed here.
Zarro deployed nerve gas.
One is conscious, however unable to move.
They used an Electro-whip and took him along.
How despicable.
To take Simon instead of me, let alone the galactic scientists.
Could you do something for me?
Whatever you want.
Kiri, who we've met this evening...
The only man, who has contact with him,
is a trade client of him,
Romer, the fur-trader.
Please find out for me, what he does.
You think, it could be Zarro?
I am not sure yet.
But perhaps Kiris story is
the key to Zarros connection with the Stygians.
Understood. I will go immediately.
And what should I do, Captain?
We will go to Cerberus immediately.
Cerberus?
Where the Interplanetary Prison is?
Precisely. Roj and Kallak should be there.
How did they escape?
It is possible that Zarro controls Cerberus.
One advise, Captain.
You should accept the help of the best scientist of the Milky Way.
I would gladly do anything, to save Professor Wright.
Thanks, Professor Kane.
There is something, I would like to ask you.
Could you establish this star's brightness?
Before and after the dark star turned up.
How big the difference is.
For a genius like me that is child's play.
Would that be helpful?
Of course.
I am only asking, because its you.
In that case I will gladly do it of course.
Now they searched in three different directions.
Kane was the first to complete his task.
To measure the Sun's brightness,
gave information about, how strong
the mass of the dark star diverted the light.
It is every time the same conclusion: The light is not diverted at all.
That means, the mass of this dark star is almost zero.
That is very unsatisfactory. Damned computer!
I will now simply calculate it in my head!
Lets see...
Romer should be here.
-Perhaps up there? -Lets go up.
Mr. Romer? Mr. Romer!
It looks like there was a fight.
Perhaps Zarro killed him?
Don't know. Lets inform Marshal Ezra.
And so we meet again.
Run!
Tharb?
That was just in time. You almost escaped.
Just as expected from an Agent.
You were captured too, Joan?
Too bad for you, Joan.
No need to worry.
The Captain will save us.
We have to see about that.
Captain Future flew to Cerberus.
But will he return unharmed?
What do you mean?
You will see. Right, Kallak?
Kallak and Roj are familiar with this star.
They know, how bad the prisoners talk about Captain Future.
Lets go. The Stygians are waiting for us.
Where are they going to?
Cerberus? Charon? Styx?
Who are you?
No visitors and no interviews!
Who are you?
I am the prison director. Rundall Lane.
Then I will also say my name.
Captain Future.
I am here by order of the Solar System Government.
Captain Future?
It feels like a palace. Really comfortable.
Thanks, that you are here, Captain.
I have heard a lot about you.
Many of the prisoners here were captured by you...
Lucas Brewer, Roj and Kallak. And many more.
That's right.
Only strangely enough I recently saw Roj and Kallak.
Strange, right?
Don't you think, Director Lane?
Are you here, to check on it?
Yes, but...
Ape-people with white fur, called Stygians...
Have you heard of them?
Just heard, nothing more.
They live in the Northern part of Charon.
What about them?
Did you see them on Cerberus?
No, never.
-Are you sure? -Absolutely.
Cerberus is a small planet.
A security drone is working round the clock.
No one can pass it unnoticed.
I see.
And Roj and Kallak...
Please forgive me, Captain.
Aha.
So they did escape.
Why didn't you report it?
Did you fear, to lose your position?
Yes, I am terribly sorry.
That's not enough, Lane.
Because of you two of my friends were kidnapped.
I will report it after my return.
You can count on that.
Please, Captain Future!
Now wait, Future, there is another way!
What is happening?
Everyone is breaking out...
Where is Future?
That must have been Lane.
-There he is! -After him!
You coward!
You are releasing the prisoners, to have me killed?
Captain Future, now you will bite the dust.
Future, because of you we have suffered a long time...
Perhaps I will die.
But then you will die too.
What? You cannot threaten us.
Do you know, which force powers it?
She is atom-powered. One shot is enough.
What do you think, will happen then?
The nuclear energy cell will explode.
One false move and the prison will fly up in the air.
I would rather die, than set free criminals like you.
As sure as my name is Captain Future!
Why is the Captain taking so long?
I am wondering, if he found the Stygians.
They did not know,
that Captain Future was in a life or death situation.
Where did Zarro have his support-base?
With every moment, the dark star draws closer to the Solar System.
To be continued
Next episode: The Civilization of the Phantom Star
Captain Future escapes the prisoners revolt
and goes to the water-planet Styx.
The dark star still draws closer.
The mysterious Zarro throws the masses into turmoil.
What will become of the Solar System?
Next time on Captain Future: "The Civilization of the Phantom Star"
If you ever, somehow, one day or another,
Should go to this city
Please visit the little house
You can find it in Poplar Street
When there, by chance
Still lives a girl
With a really gentle face
Then, please, could you tell her
That I'm doing very well
This girl, too, that laughs a lot
And whose cotton clothes dance in the wind
Will be grown-up by now, and have fallen in love
And will have forgotten about me
To Poplar Street,
Forever and always, in my dreams I will return
Although time goes by, right there lies
The homeland of my soul, in days gone by
