Very well, the cast is assembled!

I'll show you what the Galactic Leyline is!

What? There's no need to be surprised,

now that you know.

When a mystery is solved, it ceases to be a mystery...

...or something that you want to know.

Knowing this, people search out mysteries because they like to say,

"Oh! So that's what it was!"

Right. This is one of the mysteries you want to learn about,

so I'll help you start to turn them into well-known facts.

Gene, Jim, how are you? Business is just fine over here.

I have you two to thank for that in more ways than one.

That's why I keep agreeing to your repeated requests for financial assistance,

but don't forget that the funds I send to you are just an investment on my part.

Well, I'll be waiting for good news from you two.

What did I tell you?

I sure hope there's treasure at the Galactic Leyline.

Otherwise, we'll have to skip town on Fred.

How many shells did you manage to get?

I have two #4's, and one each of #9 through #13.

But these are the important ones.

Yeah, you've never had any of these before, have you?

#4, #9, and #13...

They said not to fire these three types of shells one after another.

They warned me that if I do, it'll drain my life.

I doubt that...

That's what I'd like to think...

They said that they're too powerful, and will drain the life of whoever fires them.

No way...

Gene...

Hey, don't look at me like that.

But...

We won't get into a situation where I'll have to fire...

...powerful shells like these back to back.

I'm told that the resupply work has been completed.

Sorry I'm late! Sorry I'm late!

I took care of all my errands!

Okay, then.

Let's get this show on the road.

The Galactic Leyline's waiting.

Cutting the \h\h\hGalactic \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLeyline

How do you feel, Harry?

Just fine. I can make the ship do whatever I want.

That's not all. No, not at all.

You should be able to navigate your way to the Galactic Leyline, just like Melfina.

Yes, I know you can.

I like it when you compare me to her.

Professor Khan, I didn't go to all the trouble...

...of tracking you down just to have you save Harry.

I know, I know. I know that, of course.

I never would've helped you if I hadn't been left behind by those people.

We have a common interest.

Yes, yes, that's quite right!

My tracer aboard the Outlaw Star is working perfectly.

If we follow them, we'll arrive at the Galactic Leyline!

Wait for me, Melfina...

Continue!

Hazanko!

What's the meaning of this? You're not following the Tendo King orders!

Of course I am.

As ordered, I found a way into the Leyline, that's all.

Then why haven't you reported to the Tendo King?

Why are you opening the Leyline on your own?

Have you no other ambition than to become the king's favorite?

As I thought, Hazanko!

You're planning to betray the king and take the Leyline for yourself, aren't you?!

Not just the Tendo King.

The power of the Leyline surpasses even that of the Tempa Emperor.

No, it's even greater than that!

Die!

Damn you... Hazan...

Finish this.

When the overseer doesn't return, the Tendo King will begin to suspect.

Before then, I'll have in my possession everything the Leyline has to offer!

A ship has appeared out of sub-ether space.

It's heading straight for the Leyline.

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

The XGP?

That area of space is odd.

Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, ether waves...

Nothing I send out comes back.

You're saying it doesn't show up on your sensors?

That's right.

You're having a malfunction with the Leyline right under our noses?

My sensors are functioning normally.

I'm picking up ships along that area's periphery.

Ships?! Why didn't you say something?!

I'll magnify the image on the monitor.

Kei pirates! Tons of'em!

An ambush?

There seems to be many worker ships.

That's the Geomancer!

You know that ship?

It's the ship of a man named Hazanko,

who is said to be an especially powerful Tao master, even among the Kei leaders.

Hazanko?

He's a dangerous man. And the Anten work for him.

That bunch that came after us?

Pirate ships are launching cub fighters! Count, many!

Prepare for combat!

Capture the XGP! Take Melfina!

Bastards!

They're trying to keep us away from the Leyline!

A ship is coming out of sub-ether space. It's 700 kilometers to starboard.

Reinforcements?

Now enlarging.

Is that what I think it is?

Wait, isn't that...

It's the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire's Deep Space Fleet vessel,

the Nipopopolas-class cruiser, the Orta Honehone!

The Ctarl-Ctarl Empire will have the Galactic Leyline!

Smash anyone who gets in our way!

Gagagan Cannons! Fire!

What the hell did you do?!

I always contact the empire whenever we're at a spacedock, that's all!

What?! You even gave them the Leyline's coordinates, then?!

If I don't tell them where I'm going, my family worries about me.

The Ctarl-Ctarl warship is heading straight for the Leyline.

Let them do as they please.

We wouldn't have gone to all this trouble if you could force your way into the Leyline.

Go! Go!

We're the invincible Ctarl-Ctarl!

Nothing can stop us! We're the invincible Ctarl-Ctarl!

We're not afraid of anything!

They did it!

This means the treasure belongs to the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire!

Damn it... Have you ever heard of the world "guilt"?

No use getting upset over it, I guess.

Bastard!

I wanna go to the Leyline, too, damn it!

The XGP is formidable, all right...

What is it?

They return!

The Orta Honehone? Why is it coming back?

Their shots almost seem to be random...

Turn to 3 o'clock low!

That's crazy! The Orta Honehone would be in our path!

That's our only shot at making it to the Leyline!

We'll never be able to dodge them all!

Shields to maximum!

Punch it!

We did it, Gene! It's a straight shot to the Leyline now!

It's not registering on my sensors. I can't detect anything ahead.

Melfina?

Turn all control over to me.

The XGP has successfully penetrated the Leyline!

I'm detecting a new ship!

I'm receiving a transmission.

Well, well, if it isn't Hazanko.

What an unexpected pleasure, meeting you in a place like this.

Ronald MacDougall?

What are you doing here?!

To make a long story short, I followed the XGP and it led me here.

What are you up to? Hyenas like you can't get into there.

Hyenas?

No, we're hunters.

I'm after the XGP and everything the Leyline has to offer.

Yes, yes... The knowledge of the universe will be mine. Yes...

Gwen Khan?!

None of my sensors are picking up anything.

I have no idea what is around the ship.

Ship's status?

All green.

What's that noise?

Noise? What noise?

I'm not detecting anything.

My head feels like it's gonna split!

Mel! What's going on?!

Wait. Just wait.

Hold on, everyone!

The Shangri La is entering the Leyline.

I can't believe Gwen Khan is with them...

Well?

Just one remains.

I can't sense anything! Nothing at all!

This is the spiral.

I've adjusted the ship's orientation.

This will take us there.

Melfina?

This will take us to the center of the Leyline.

W-W-What's going on?!

O-Ow! W-What's happening?!

H-Harry?!

Everything's okay, Ron. I know what I'm doing.

I can see the path.

And she's at the end of it...

I-It is open.

We're going into the Galactic Leyline!

Mel, what's our status?

Engine output, 70%.

We're following a spiral course into the center.

We wouldn't be able to tell where we were going without you, Mel.

Yeah.

So the Orta Honehone couldn't do it...

That must be why the Geomancer held its position.

But what were they doing?

Who knows?

But I bet they aren't the types to just sit there and do nothing.

Oh, my! I'm not picking up my tracer, either!

I know where they are. I know they're just ahead.

She's mine!

Now, now, son! You'd have trouble mating with her.

Yes, I wonder what would happen?

I already know she's a bio-android!

Bio-android?

No, no, she's a little different from what we would call a bio-android.

No, perhaps she's a lot different.

How's she different?

The Kei pirates came to me and asked me to decode...

...some genetic engineering data or some such that they had uncovered...

...at some ruins called "The Dragon's Tombstone."

I know that you designed the XGP after decoding that data, professor.

To tell you the truth, I wasn't able to completely decode it.

That "some such" I mentioned was something even I couldn't understand.

All I can call it is a "black box."

The XGP and Melfina were constructed by incorporating...

...this black box I didn't know how to activate,

and knowledge from 30,000 years ago left behind by heaven only knows.

Yes...

You're saying that there's a mystery you couldn't solve...

...hidden inside the XGP and Melfina, professor?

Yes, yes! Yes, that's right!

Oh, why are there so many mysteries in the universe...

...that even my mind can't decipher?

At any rate, there's your answer, Harry.

She's too great a mystery.

I can sense them!

I've found you, Melfina!

Turn the ship!

Damn it, what are they doing here?

Mel?

The spiral's collapsing.

Mel, what just happened?!

It's a... whirlpool?

I'm detecting another ship!

It's the Geomancer!

Capture the XGP! Destroy MacDougall!

Don't mess with me!

Don't try to fight them head-on! Go after the XGP!

All right, you bastard!

- Damn! - Gene!

- Gene! - You moron!

You think I'm gonna hand over Melfina?

Maximum burn! Shake 'em off!

After them!

I know.

Don't let them escape! After them!

We mustn't, Lord Hazanko.

If we deviate from this path, we'll never reach the Leyline.

Mel! Where's that spiral?

We've reached the center.

I'm detecting kinetic waves! There's something ahead!

What's that?

T-That's...

It's what the Kei pirates are after...

It's where a mountain of treasure is waiting!

That's the heart of the Galactic Leyline?

What'll we find? Treasure or monsters?

Let's go find...

The ship is being pulled in. It's like we're being guided.

Guided? That's too easy!

We're gonna crash!

Acceleration has dropped to 70%.

I'm detecting an atmosphere outside the ship.

Gene! What're we gonna do?!

Show some backbone, will ya? The Leyline is sending us an invitation.

I say we accept.

We finally reach the end of the line?

Oh, my.

Look at this. It seems to be an artificial structure.

"Please walk the rest of the way," huh?

The atmosphere is breathable. The gravity is approximately 0.974G.

These guys think of everything.

Mind the ship, Gilliam.

I'll see you later, then. Please be careful.

Tobigera, you and the crew will protect the Geomancer!

Yes, lord.

The rest of you, come with me!

Yes, lord!

Well, Harry? How does your body feel?

It feels great. I'm lighter on my feet than I was in my real body.

It's powerful, all right, but that body is your life-support system.

Yeah, I understand.

This place gives me the creeps.

What, it's a dead end?

Gene, what now?

Like we have a choice? We go back...

What's this light?

It's gone!

What the...?!

What is this?

The cave's gone!

It's like we're someplace else!

What's going on, Gene?

How should I know?

At any rate, we seem to be inside the cylinder.

What's going on, Melfina?

I don't know, either.

I don't even know how I did it!

Why was I able to guide the Outlaw Star here?

I've never been here before, so how?

We came all this way to find that out, right?

Shall I tell you, then?

Who are you?

It's because Melfina has the secret of the Leyline within her.

That's Hazanko. And...

Those "Anten" guys?

You will return Melfina. She belongs to me!

Melfina isn't a thing, jack!

Oh! Oh, my!

How amazing! Was that teleportation?!

MacDougall!

Why's Gwen Khan with them?!

Why dost thou return?

W-What?

Why dost thou return?

Me? I've returned?

Melfina!

What is thy desire?

What?

What is thy desire?

That voice...

Find thy desire here on this land.

"Find my desire"?

Why dost thou return?

Whom dost thou guide?

sora tooi sora

The sky, the distant sky...

A murmuring voice...

Next Episode

Melfina, I didn't know anything about you.

I only realized that I needed you now that you're gone.

Here at the Galactic Leyline, I'll find something...

...and lose something.

Wait for me...

Next time on Outlaw Star! "Maze of Despair"!

Maze of Despair

You better get ready!
