Original subtitles

On the homeworlds of most civilized races,

there exist ancient ruins that can no longer be explained.

This includes Terrans, of course,

and also the Orogoriya ruins on Ctarl-Ctarl.

The Zabundre Temple on Corbono.

Piyoyoronote on Silgry.

No one knows who built these ruins, or how.

And in space, there also exist ruins that are related to no known race.

Some researchers have concluded that these might...

...be the products of a super-ancient, extinct race,

and they think that the ancient ruins of Earth and other planets...

...may also have been built by them, but there is no shred of evidence.

Remaining enshrouded in mystery, the ruins are still there to this day.

What is it that you want? What'cha you wanna do? Where you wanna go?

yami o saite hashiri nukete tsukamitore Through The Night

Is that it?

That's the Galactic Leyline!

Look, I've been saying that it isn't since before we left!

But you said it was the Leyline!

No, it's a planet called "Dragon," or "Way of the Dragon"...

...that has some ancient ruins on it!

And that's the Leyline!

If it was, the survey team would've left a more thorough report!

Just give it a rest. It's something we need to see for ourselves, right?

So, how about a landing spot?

How about the same place as the survey team?

It's a level area, so I don't think it'll be too tough.

Okay, prepare for landing!

Grave of \h\h\hthe Dragon

Man, there's nothing here at all...

It's no wonder that there aren't any settlers.

So, where is it, Jim?

Damn it, you can't do anything without me, can you?

But you were the one who found it, right?

It was tough enough to hack into the Space Archeology Society's database.

It was suppressed like it was top secret or something.

How about a little gratitude, huh?

Got it! It's about 2km southeast of here.

Two kilometers?

Hey! Why'd you bring us down so far away?

Are you good enough to land in that?

Okay, what say we treat ourselves to a little hike, huh?

All right, let's take a break here.

Gene, what do you suppose the Galactic Leyline is, anyway?

Why ask me that now?

I was just thinking that maybe Hilda had told you something.

Nothing at all.

Just that the Kei pirates want it, so she wanted to get her hands on it first.

Which means it's treasure!

Yeah, yeah, it'd be nice if it was.

Then I'd be able to pay back Fred!

It's gotta be worth more than that!

How did the Ctarl-Ctarl learn of the Leyline?

Well, we... That is...

It's a state secret!

And you don't know what that secret is, do you?

You only came because you were ordered to, huh? Must be rough.

Shut up!

Looks like we were on the money.

I'm kinda worried about how much longer we'll be able treat her as a friend.

What do you mean?

I'm saying that she's still a Ctarl-Ctarl officer.

Don't you think it's safe to let it go for the time being?

It's the same with you.

You're saying I have shortcomings of some sort?

Not at the moment.

And not ever, I think.

Yes, ma'am...

What is it?

It's nothing.

Out with it.

When we find the Galactic Leyline, will I find out anything about myself, too?

Good question. I'm not sure.

What're you saying, Gene? Of course she will!

Right, Mel?

I can't say for sure until we get there.

I guess you're right.

Gene!

I found it!

Hey! Come take a look!

That's the ruins of the Leyline!

They sure picked another strange planet to come to.

Let's head down, Ron.

I'll make her mine for sure this time...

Sure, that's why we tracked them down all this way.

We'll finish this.

Awesome...

They called that thing in the middle the Dragon Sphinx.

The line that leads up to it is the Way of the Dragon.

So that's why it's called the Leyline...

The survey team concluded that it was probably made about 10,000 years ago.

Why did the survey team close down their investigation?

The direct reason was that they said their funding...

...dried up before they could get any results.

The Kei pirates were indirectly involved.

What does that mean?

Pirates hit the survey team's supply lines.

It looks like they had to pull out.

A place called the Leyline and the Kei pirates...

Suspicious bedfellows, indeed.

So, what did you find out about it?

Nothing at all. It wasn't in the database, at least.

The survey team checked out the entry chamber to that pyramid,

but there aren't any reports about it.

Hey! What's this thing got to do with the Galactic Leyline?

That's what we came here to find out!

Well, let's check the survey team's barracks to see if there's anything usable.

Ready, Ron.

We'll wait 'til sunset and then attack. The woman comes first.

We can kill everybody else, right?

Of course.

Hey, what makes this place so important?

Look at the floor.

They said that this showed that something might have been here originally.

Like what?

They never found out.

"Leyline" is originally a term used by space pirates.

It comes from feng shui, meaning a path that chi flows along.

So the Leyline is a place where that chi collects.

That doesn't really tell us anything.

Hey, I don't understand it.

But they say that controlling the Leyline means controlling everything.

What is it, Mel?

I feel something coming from here.

Feel what?

I'm not sure. It's just...

What was that?!

Mel!

I don't know, either.

I don't feel anything now.

Where's Melfina?

She said she wanted to be alone for a while.

She must be taking a leak...

If she needed to go to the bathroom, there's a toilet right over there.

I wonder what's wrong?

Let it go, Jim. If she wants to be alone, let her.

Gene, how come you're so cold to Melfina?

I'm not, not really.

Yes, you are!

You've been acting weird ever since we left to look for the Leyline!

How?

It's like you're avoiding Melfina.

I always do.

Not like this!

Sure I do.

Where are you going?

I wanna be by myself.

I agree with Jim, actually.

Is he wrong?

I don't really want to say I'm sorry,

and even if I did, what good would it do?

Sorry for what?

I made a promise to Melfina, but I'm not making any progress at all.

A promise?

That I'd find out about her.

One soundless midday,

the wind was fresh and clean,

and the flower petals swayed, as if asleep.

This serene feeling...

Tell me, what's the name that people give it?

Harry MacDougall...

Come with me.

I'll never let you be lonely.

I was acting all cool, telling her I'd find an answer, but I haven't done a thing.

Not at all.

You came all the way to a place like this to investigate, right?

What's the matter?

Gotta take a leak...

From what MacDougall said, Melfina was created as part...

...of a navigation system to reach the Galactic Leyline.

But is that the answer she wants to hear?

It can't be. I know that.

But still...

Lonely? Me?

Yeah. That's right.

You're wrong.

I'd give you everything you want.

You'd do that?

That's right! I would!

I thought that we'd learn more when we reach the Leyline,

but I don't know what'll happen to her when we do.

I'm just not sure if that has anything to do with the answer she's looking for.

But you have no choice but to go there, right?

But as it stands, we can't go there.

You're the one who's lonely.

Me? Don't be ridiculous.

I have my brother. And I have friends, too.

You are lonely.

All you can do is take what you want.

What I want is you.

Come on.

I guess maybe I have been a little cold to her...

I just haven't been sure if I could follow through on my promise to Melfina.

You act tough too much.

If I didn't act tough, I wouldn't be a man.

Come on.

I have someone who's promised me.

Someone who's promised that he'd find what I'm looking for.

Gene Starwind?

Just forget about that guy!

No.

We're the only ones who can really understand each other!

I... I don't even understand myself.

Melfina...

Don't.

Sing it again for me. Sing that song again.

Harry MacDougall!

What're you doing?!

What were you talking about?!

Gene...

Is there something going on between you two?!

You're a dead man, Gene! Melfina is mine!

She's yours? You gotta be kidding me!

Don't worry about it, kid. Adults are complicated.

Don't treat me like I'm a kid!

You are a kid.

You should just live your life without letting all the little things bother you.

Big talk, from someone who isn't any different from a kid, herself.

What is it?

Gene!

Bastard!

Shit!

Gene! Where did you go? Get out here!

You son of a...

That'll teach ya!

Game's over!

Die! Die! Die!

Gene!

What the...?

It's...

It's an earthquake!

Come on!

Just climb on!

What the...? Damn!

Hold together, damn it!

I ain't gonna miss this time.

Harry! Harry!

What happened?! Respond!

Why'd it start up now?

Jim! Go back to the Outlaw Star!

Hurry, everyone! This is a crustal disturbance!

If this keeps up, the ship will topple over!

Melfina... If you don't want to, you don't have to go with us.

Once we're in space, you can do whatever you want.

Hey! Gene! What're you doing?!

Take me with you, Gene.

Take me with you.

Sure. I'll take you along.

I'll take you with me.

Thanks.

The surface is still shaking. The ruins are rubble...

Looks like we have to find a new lead.

Right.

Harry!

Harry!

Hold on, Harry!

Harry... What did they do to you?

First up, we resupply and relax.

After that, we'll decide what to do next.

I've received a transmission. It's Professor Gwen Khan.

Khan? Is it in real time?

The transmission is from the station.

Oh, my! I've been waiting for you, gentlemen!

Yes, I had a feeling you stop here.

What are you doing here?

I could ask the same of you.

I went to great lengths, and I finally caught up with you.

It wasn't easy, let me tell you!

I wonder how he keeps following us like this?

Good question. Does he have a transmitter planted on us?

Oh, my! How did you know?

What do you mean?

Back in the XGP's planning stages,

I planted a... well, it's not a transmitter, but it's something like that.

Right! Ever since the planning stage!

But I did it so that no one but me would know about it!

Hey, hold it! What do you mean, "planning stage"?!

Forget about that. I've found someone who knows...

...the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline.

I've found someone!

Start by asking around about him.

The thing is, he's currently incarcerated at Gehenna prison.

He's been sentenced to 300 years, apparently.

He's not allowed visitors.

So you'll need to go there and ask him what the coordinates are, Gene.

Yes, yes... That's right.

What're you babbling about? I'm not gonna go into a prison!

But he knows the coordinates!

There's gotta be somebody else besides him who knows!

Yes, but those others are high-ranking Kei pirates,

and I don't want to get involved with them!

I can't get involved with them!

Then I'll get involved.

I'm not too inclined to believe that fishy story of yours.

Gilliam, prepare to launch.

Already? But we just got here.

Wait! Wait a moment!

I've made up my mind!

We've been staying clear of it so far, but we're gonna go into Kei territory.

I'm gonna go there and make 'em tell me the secret of the Galactic Leyline!

Wait, you fool!

Shove it!

Melfina!

Leyline Project command input!

"It was you who broke my Meissen plate"!

Mel!

I was the one who created her control system and commands, too.

I've suspended her personality.

You bastard! What're you up to?!

Turn Melfina back to normal now!

I will. Don't worry, I will.

Once you find out the Leyline's coordinates at that prison, that is.

You son of a...

The sky, the distant sky...

A murmuring voice...

Next Episode

All I have on my criminal record is some fines from parking tickets,

but these guys here in this gravity prison are no joke!

They're strong, fast, have a nasty look in their eyes,

and the warden's a damn sadist!

As I infiltrate the prison in search of the Leyline's coordinates,

my chastity is put on the line!

Huh? Wait a minute!

Nobody said anything about that!

Next time on Outlaw Star! "Gravity Jailbreak"!

Gravity Jailbreak

You better get ready!
