...for preserving these, and many other subs, from the early era.

It smells good.

It's like a dream: a peaceful image from inside a cure capsule.

No.

The dreams you have in a cure capsule after battle are...

...primitive memories buried within the dephts of your mind.

Primitive memories?

Yes. Memories from thousands of years ago.

What do you mean?

Look at this place: sunshine, water, and clean air.

These are all made by machines.

But we tried to make them as natural as possible.

Natural?

It's the opposite of artificial, and a very old term.

It hasn't been used for thousands of years.

I want all soldiers of Solnoid to recall that everybody used to live in such a beautiful home.

Home?

Battle is not everything.

It is not a coincidence that you came here.

We led you.

We wanted to save as many soldiers as possible.

Wait a second. Who is "we?"

We are Conch.

Conch? You're them?

You are the anti-war organization Conch?

I see. I've got it now.

This is the reason nobody could find you; both the East Force's...

...and West Force's elite fleets intensively looked for you.

All this time, you've been hiding in this asteroid.

No wonder we couldn't find you here.

They are criminals who are trying to end the war.

If we hand them over to the Elite Guards, all of us here are guaranteed for the Order of the Cross.

What do you think, Elsa?

Please, don't do it.

Take it easy. I wouldn't do such an unmanly thing.

In the near future, I will get it fairly and squarely by ruining an East Force career.

So I don't have time to play around here.

I'm leaving now.

Oh, yeah, before I go,...

...Rabby, we're going to finish our duel on the battlefield.

I'm looking forward to the day.

Are you trying to get me mad?

Catty, let her go.

She has no interest in us.

She knows only fighting.

What? You can say that again!

Fighting is the only truth in space!

Both friend and foe risk their lives to fight for victory and the future!

Meanwhile, you are just cowardly hiding here and,...

...furthermore, growing Retrogues.

You are just cowards who are afraid to fight.

Yes, you are; and I hate cowards.

Of course, I don't have any interest in you, either.

Now, open the gate this instant!

You said "for the future."

Yes, I did. What's the matter with that?

Both forces have already deployed powerful Star Blasters on the front lines.

Their numbers are increasing day by day.

And now both forces are looking for the Anti-matter Gun.

It's a lethal weapon that causes a reaction with ordinary matter and produces an extinction vortex.

If the Anti-matter Gun is deployed on the front, there's going to be no winner.

The humanoids named Solnoid will be extinct in the universe.

Ant...Anti-matter Gun?

Captain, we've got a homing beacon through the 482nd amplifying station.

From who?

From unit B-2682.

B is a designation for a starcruiser.

Where is it?

It's in Area 996, Sector B-48136: where nothing should exist.

A spaceship or--

All right. Tell the fleet to make a jump to Sector B-48136.

I've heard that growing Retrogues will lead to human extinction.

We've believed that Retrogues were mutants that were created in the process...

...of producing Solnoids, and that it happens once every twenty million times.

So all Retrogues were terminated as soon as they were born.

But that's not true.

Retrogues are just a kind of Solnoid.

And Retrogues and Solnoids used to live together on the mother planet.

One day, we Solnoid started to produce only Solnoids that have egg cells, so we could...

...produce soldiers more efficiently, and could send enough soldiers to the endless war.

So what? What's wrong with that?

The virtual console shows how much damage you do to the enemy as a score.

Each point is actually the death of a Solnoid soldier.

You don't see these deaths face to face in the highly technological battlefield, so you don't...

...notice it, but you are competing for the number of your own people's death as a score.

Billions of soldiers die in a single battle.

Do you think that's normal?

All right, then, do you think it's normal to raise Retrogue mutants?

While your people are fighting, you're just hiding.

You think that's right?

Why did you do that?

What did the flower do to you?

Shut up, kid.

Do you want to cry?

Huh? Patty?

Patty, what's the matter?

Huh-- O...oh, nothing.

A drifting asteroid? The Conch base is there?

Yes, indeed. The beacon is coming from there.

At last, I've found you, Conch.

Those who deny the war must be exterminated.

That is Commander Pfizer's will.

Captain. Warp fields at one o'clock.

What?

It's the Elite Guards of West Force.

What? They've also found out?

A transmission from the enemy Captain.

Target all guns at them.

All right, open the line.

I am Wizaelle, 12th Elite Guards of the Western Galaxy, West Force.

I am Shoot.

I guess both of us are looking for the same thing.

What are you going to do now?

I think it's nonsense to fight each other here instead of what we're both looking for.

Our mission here is to exterminate Conch, correct?

I can exterminate you first, then, I can exterminate the Conch.

We don't know the war potential of Conch.

All right. We'll suspend hostilities until Conch is exterminated.

We'll open fire at 1012.

Don't be late.

Hmph, raccoon dog.

Fox--

Hurry up! Prepare to attack.

You still want to continue fighting?

Shut up! I have no words for cowards.

Hey, you had better go, too.

You know what will happen if they find us here with Conch.

We're in trouble!

The Elite Guard's fleets are 0.02 megamiles ahead.

Listen up: Conch must be raising troublesome Retrogues.

Kill all of Conch and the Retrogues.

However, bring me the leader of Conch alive.

I need to ask her some questions.

All right. Go!

Wow.

What a nice control room.

I couldn't have imagined such a nice control room in here from the appearance outside.

Hey, Catty. Are you going to start a war?

We have no intention to, but it seems they have.

Those are the stealth cruisers of the Elite Guards.

It means-- Shoot.

Ouch-- The worst possible situation.

You..you mean Shoot, the cunning captain?

Yes, that's her.

She'll never listen to our excuses.

Wait. Why are they together?

Why aren't they fighting?

It seems they've joined forces against us.

We've joined forces with East Force?

I don't get it.

Why are they afraid of Conch so much?

I don't think their only purpose is the extermination of Conch.

You'll see the truth.

There is another thing that they are afraid of.

What do you mean?

They've penetrated into West 16th, 17th, Central 58th and 59th sector.

Several heavily-armed powered troopers are confirmed.

They are coming to the central area.

What should we do, Elsa?

Their object is the Retrogue.

But, how could they find out we were here.

What? I did nothing.

Your bracelet-- My bracelet?

This is what I got for my 20th battle.

What's the matter?

What's wrong with this bracelet?

Patty, it's a homing device.

I've seen them before.

What? It can't--

I...I didn't--

You--

How dare you betray your friends!

I really hate that!

Hey! Stop it!

She said she didn't know.

I don't-- I just don't remember anything.

It's true. Believe me.

Hmph! I doubt it.

Stop it, Luffy. We don't have time to be arguing now.

What? Because of you, I'm a traitor now.

It's all your fault.

We didn't ask you to come with us!

Catty, you had better surrender.

Shoot will do anything for her purpose.

No. She will never make it here.

She's right. They are retreating little by little.

What?

There are powerful guardians in those areas.

Whoever has a weapon gets attacked.

I've got to go.

Wait. Where are you going?

They're in a pinch. I'm going to help them.

I don't care how many on East Force's side die, but some of them are my people.

I can't just stay here and watch them die!

Wait.

What a simple minded--

Go. Now!

All of our soldiers have been killed.

Damn. East Force is using us as shields.

You are so useless. Shoot!

Bye, Wizaelle. What?

What a fool.

Rabby. We're even now.

Who asked for your help?

I thought you would say that, little Luffy.

D...don't call me little.

Ah, you are so shy, girl.

What? Don't move!

Now open the air lock to the control room.

Don't even think about trying to trick me.

I am not stupid like West Force.

Look at this.

Pony!

I won't repeat myself.

Open the air lock before we blow their heads off.

Well done, Sergeant.

How about West Force?

Ma'am, I think they were all killed by the guardians.

I can't believe they were such idiots, even the Elite Guards.

Oh, there is a West Force soldier in Conch.

And Elsa, you, too.

I don't think you're going to listen to us, anyway; so I'm not going to say anything.

We thought you died a glorious death but, in fact, you deserted instead.

I assume all responsibility for this.

So let the crew of the Starleaf go.

Elsa.

Starleaf?

There is no spaceship named that in our East Force.

Therefore, there is no crew for that ship.

Shoot!

I don't care about you or your crew.

I'm here to destroy the Conch base.

Who is the leader?

There is no leader of Conch.

Everybody is here by their own will.

Hmm! You seem to know much.

Then, you must know what we are looking for.

What are you looking for besides the Conch base?

Don't try to fool me.

Don't play the fool to me.

Can you hear me, Sergeant? Yes.

How many kids are there?

There are eight here.

OK. Blow one of their heads off.

That should change her mind.

Stop it!

Catty, make them stop it. Please!

Now what are you going to say?

There's going to be eight chances to change your mind.

Catty!--

The first one.

Sergeant. Don't. You've won.

I'll give it to you.

Good. That's good.

No, Cathy!

I forgot to tell you that I don't have any patience.

She is an eyesore. Get her out of here.

Open it and show me the data.

Oh, this is it!

All right. Give it to me.

Thank you. Let's go now.

Do you know what this is, Elsa?

This is the data for the Anti-matter Gun that Commander Pfizer has been looking for.

The data for the Anti-matter Gun?

If we have the data, we don't need to be looking for it all around the universe anymore.

We just need to build another one.

Shoot, do you know what she's going to do with the gun?

Of course I know.

She'll defeat the Fuhrer and become the leader of East Force.

Elsa, you are not the only one who is loved by Commander Pfizer.

Elsa, you are just an article for consumption like the other soldiers.

Well done, Unit B-2682.

I didn't--

None of you noticed it: you were actually a homing unit.

You were programmed to respond to the word "Conch" and transmit a signal automatically.

Hey, I don't know anything about the gun, but next time we meet, I won't let you go.

I will avenge my friends!

I doubt that a soldier like you can understand what the Anti-matter Gun really is.

Let's go.

Are they just leaving us?

I don't think so.

There is something in Storage Room 16.

It's a nuclear warhead from a battleship.

It's counting down. We only have ten minutes left.

It's the Elite Guard's way.

She's going to blow everything up.

Elsa, if you like, I can take your message to Commander Pfizer.

Ok, tell her: she is going to regret this.

All right. I'll tell her.

Engage hyper-drive. Let's get out of here.

It's all my fault--

Patty! She's going to disarm the nuke.

I'm going to Storage Room 16, too.

Elsa, can I ask you a favor? I know.

Pony, take all the children to Bay 6 and load them on the Starleaf.

OK.

Can we pilot the Starleaf?

We have to. Luffy, help us.

Shit, I guess I have no choice.

Don't touch it! Catty.

Oh no. We don't have enough energy to start the engine.

It's going to take a while to charge.

Lumy, how about you?

They will be here soon with the children.

Hurry. Hurry up. This way.

Do they know our situation?

Don't rush. You're going to fall.

See, I told you.

Rabby, be careful. Here they come.

Hurry up. Hurry up!

Rabby, they're all here.

Wait. Luffy is not here yet.

Rabby!--

Idiot. Hurry up. They're coming.

They must be stopped here, otherwise, we're going to lose the ship.

Luffy! Luffy, open this door.

Rabby, we could have been friends if you weren't my enemy.

We can be friends even if you're my enemy.

Luffy!

No good. We can't disarm this.

Can we take it outside?

No. If we move it, the vibration switch will engage.

A battle. A beautiful battle!

Whoever thwarts our battle must be returned to stardust!

Where are you going in such a hurry? sonnani isoide doko e ikitaino

Don't you even remember the smell of the breeze? kaze no nioisae wasuretano

Everyone walks the same steps,... aruku hayasanara daredemo onajidayo

...and everyone is lost. minna mayo otteiru

It's painful to see you straining yourself. ganbarisugiteiru kimi o miteiruto tsuraiyo

You forced a smile and lost your fragile heart. kowaresouna kokoro o murini waratte nakushita

Don't force it anymore. mo tsuyogaranaide

It's ok to cry. naitemo iiyo

It's ok to cry. naitemo iiyo

Two is warmer than one. hitori yorimo hutari ga atatakai

It's ok to cry now. naitemo iiyo imawa

It's ok to cry, I'm with you. naitemo iiyo sobani irukara

I'm watching you,... kimi o mitsumeteirukara

...always remember that. wasurenaide donna tokimo

We started to fight Pfizer in order to stop the war.

The soldier plants keep producing soldiers, and we faced the truth there.

The next episode of Gall Force is: "Soldier Plant."

The endless war will end.
