We're here, Lady.

Welcome to the Time Palace.

My name is Scheherazade. I am the dream spinner.

My partner, her body... No, her very being is fading.

This isn't some illness.

The cause must be...

If she were to enter a time warp...

Exactly.

I want to determine the cause before she completely disappears!

Use the Time Drive to dive into her time!

Adjusting time-axis.

Locking time-depth onto plus-minus zero.

Commence time-partitioning!

I will now dive into her time.

Please wait here.

No, I think I'll tag along.

It is dangerous!

A time-dive is a dive into that human's time itself.

Sometimes the time-pressure is too great. You might perish.

If I start to drown, I'm countin' on you to give me mouth-to-mouth.

This is...

Lady's past.

Each one of these is a bit of time she has experienced.

The past?

This's me!

Before I had the plastic surgery to change my face!

That was on Saturn.

I really thought I was a goner that time.

It's emitting a blue light.

That was quite a stormy time, I see.

A stormy time?

Yes. Time has color.

Sad times are red, and times of happiness sparkle like gold.

But what is that?

What a mysterious color...

It's sad, yet it shines with hope.

This purple-colored time...

That's...

Probably...

Migratory Books?

This planet's just filled with strange things.

Yes, they write the lives of the people they see into their own bodies.

Look, this is my book.

The time 10 years ago and the time last night between us is written down here.

Then I guess we can't let children read it.

Migratory Books.

They hold the memories of people's lives and travel from planet to planet.

After that...

She was seriously wounded by a gunshot.

Cobra, I'm not scared anymore.

All the memories of you and I are written in those books.

My memories with travel around the galaxy for eternity.

Lady...

Professor Magellan, save Lady!

I am sorry, but she only has one or two days left.

You said it yourself: "I'm the greatest doctor in the galaxy!"

Doctors are not gods!

Lady's life is in God's hands now.

Is there no way to save her?

There is one way.

Assimilate her into a live-metal.

Her mind alone will be reborn into a new body.

That's not good enough!

She would not want such a body!

On a planet of twilight,

A beautiful setting sun,

A beautiful lake,

and a man to trust most in this world...

watched over by a pirate who calls me Lady,

My journey finally came to an end.

Are you okay with a body like that?

I do not mind.

My waist size is the same as ever.

Chapter II: My blue shining live-metal body

Getting a new figure and new life

I was reborn as an "Armaroid Lady"

The new travel will begin again

To an odyssey with pirate COBRA

I can't see any time-distortions around this period.

Let us dive into a deeper time.

This is...

That's right!

That's where I found Lady!

What is this time-vortex?

Time is being sucked up!

What in the world happened at that time?

Could this be the reason that Lady's body is disappearing?

Seems like it.

I'll check out that vortex!

Cobra, don't!

The Time Drive's maximum depth is 20 years!

If you go any deeper, the time pressure will be more than a human can withstand!

Fine by me!

I'm goin' for a new world record!

Cobra!

Ow!

This is...

I've been here before!

That's right, I remember now!

That's the castle where I met Lady.

Stop it! Let me go!

Wait! Where are you taking my sister?

You owed 50 gold pieces, remember?

This way I'll write off your debt.

Brother!

Let me go!

What do you plan on doing with me?

Lord Giros is having a coronation ceremony in that castle.

Rare treasures, precious gems and nobility from all around the empire will be gathered there.

Even I the great Bora, have been honored with an invitation.

As a wealthy merchant of this town you cannot expect me to show up empty handed, yes?

You aren't seriously thinking of bringing me as a party favor for that monster are you?

Lord Giros has large ears.

If you say such insolent words you'll get that cute head of yours chopped off.

Hurry, we'll be late for the ceremony!

Evenin'...

What was that noise?

Pardon me.

How much is the taxi fare to the castle?

We've reached Giros's castle.

Paloma, go back to the town after you drop me off at the castle.

Who the heck are you?

Me? Just a tourist.

Name's Joe Gillian!

So it's March 29th, 3012...

Exactly 20 years in the past.

The day I snuck in here after the treasures that were gathered at the castle.

That's right... In that castle is another one of me, my "past self".

Next!

The King of Shakusen, King Rome!

As proof of my fealty to you great Lord Giros,

I present to you the "Life Harp" which I discovered in the Elba Temple sleeping for eternity on the bottom of the sea.

The living harp of Elba Temple?

That's the "Life Harp" which is said to extend the life of anyone who hears its sound.

Quite a rare piece!

King Rome! With such an offering I have no doubts of your loyalty!

As long as you continue this trust, let the Kingdom of Shakusen continue to flourish for eternity within our empire!

Who would actually pay fealty to such a monster?

M'lord!

That filthy fraud!

Unfortunately it seems King Rome was not able to maintain his trust.

What fools to speak ill of Lord Giros.

Layla, what is that jester?

Nuba.

The castle's science wizard.

All those strange creatures are his creations.

But the most dangerous thing in this castle is that man.

Who is he?

Giros's hired bodyguard.

Manidou, a darksword master.

Okay, this is my chance.

While he's here, I'll check out the castle security.

Layla, I'll meet up with you back in your room later.

Wait, Cobra!

What is it?

I'm scared.

Will you really take me away from this castle when your job is finished?

I don't lie to beautiful woman.

Yup, that's me all right. I don't waste any time.

With my past self working around here, it's a little hard for me to make my move.

Look!

That face...

She's the Princess Emeralda of the Principality of Sanborn!

Princess!

Princess!

Oh my, if it isn't Princess Emeralda!

You came to celebrate my coronation?

Giros!

An evil demon like you, King of Kings?

Have you no shame?

After you assassinated our King and Duke through some dark plot?

I won't accept it!

You take after your father.

That's exactly what King Sanborn said!

And so I killed him!

Attack formation!

Suffer!

Go!

Don't bother with the knights! Aim for Giros!

I got Giros!

Do not kill that woman, Manidou!

Fool! Did you actually think you could kill me?

Nuba.

I give this woman to you.

Bring her to the experimentation room and do as you wish with her.

Thank you very much, Lord Giros.

Who is it?

This your day off?

Cobra, you've returned!

You were late so I was worried!

This hair...

Who are you?

Joe Gillian, Cobra's older brother.

I never heard he had a brother.

And he never tells me about the beautiful women he's friends with either.

'Cause I'll snatch them away from him.

If I hadn't have kissed you I wouldn't believe you.

Your face is different, but your voice and the way you carry yourself is exactly the same.

Even the way you kiss...

I took after our dad and my brother took after our mom.

So this is that secret passageway, I see.

How did you know?

I've been here before.

Before?

I mean my little brother was here before.

Oh right... Um, the plan's changed.

My brother can't come back, so I'll get you out of here in his place.

What?

I'll meet you in one hour at the air-car station.

My brother, huh?

Well I guess she'd never believe I was Cobra from 20 years in the future.

Eerie... There's no guards.

So this is the door to the treasure house?

What the heck?

It's no wonder there weren't any people!

These things are the guards!

There's no end to them!

Those things are zombies!

Okay then Princess Emeralda, how should I transform that beautiful body of yours?

How about giving you a shell and turning you into a bug-person?

Or how about I swap these beautiful legs of yours for a giant grasshopper's?

Or how about I cover your entire body in scales?

Do not worry. Now matter what I choose, it will be my finest work.

That's... It can't be...

The Black Hole Diamond!

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

If someone other than the princess touches it,

the black hole sealed inside will be unlocked and will suck up everything.

Foolishness... T-That's just a legend...

Then go right ahead, try touching it.

Well, no matter. I have other fun things to do.

Time to start the operation!

I just love this!

You seem like you're having a lot of fun!

S-Stop!

Make him a little handsomer, would you?

Who are you?

Name's Joe. Joe Gillian.

He's over there!

Transform!

An orbital shuttle? I can use this.

I'm surprised. Why aren't you dead?

I've been tough ever since I was born.

Interesting. Let's see how many cuts you can take before you die.

No thanks.

Don't let him escape!

After him!

Damn it! They've got to be out chasing after someone!

Wonder what it is? Probably my past self.

Anyway, where's Layla?

Joe!

Joe!

Paloma!

Paloma, why were you there?

For some reason I was worried about you.

If I'd known you were on a date I wouldn't have waited for you.

She's Princess Emeralda.

Nice to meet you, Paloma.

Emeralda? The princess of the Principality of Sanborn?

Giros will probably be after us.

Is there a good place to hide somewhere?

How about you come to my house?

It's a bar so no one will be suspicious if random people show up.

But, you don't have to go to that trouble...

Oh, on the contrary.

My brother will be overjoyed to have Princess Emeralda as a guest.

So you've returned, Manidou?

What in the world could have given a man like you such a wound?

A man with a gun on his left arm.

He was the one who did this to me.

His name is Cobra.

Cobra? The pirate Cobra I've heard rumors about?

Lady...

So I snuck into Giros's castle and rescued Princess Emeralda, but it don't seem like that's solved anything.

Lady's body is disappearing more and more!

What the heck is the cause?

No matter what happens, I'll protect you.

Count on it, Lady!
