[Narrator] In the year 2199, Earth was under severe attack from the mysterious planet Gamilon.

Gamilon planet bombs cover the Earth with radioactive pollution.

And as a result, in one year's time, Earth will be unlivable.

But on the planet Iscandar, there is a machine that can remove the radioactivity.

Queen Starsha offers it to the people of Earth.

A team of Starblazers called the Starforce undertakes the perilous journey.

But can the Starforce travel 148,000 light years and back in just one Earth year?

While heroic Starforce is now approaching the icy planet of

Pluto, where temperatures are 200 degrees below freezing.

Unknown to the Starforce, the evil Gamilons have established a base on Pluto,

and it is from this base that they've launched the deadly planet bombs that are devastating Earth.

From his post on Pluto, Colonel Gantz, the Gamilon commander, waits impatiently for the Starforce.

Confirm Starforce's ship, the Argo.

Direction from PX-703 to OP-6.

I wonder if they know we're on Pluto.

So we launch our attack, Colonel Gantz?

We must not underestimate the firepower of the Starforce.

They beat us on Jupiter.

Yes, sir.

Their wave motion gun is a powerful weapon.

It has great accuracy, and its range is almost unlimited.

How can we possibly fight it?

Just takes brain work.

We can outwit them.

What?

We'll outfox them.

Yes.

Have you forgotten our new weapon, Bane?

The reflex gun?

It's the ultimate weapon.

This latest Gamilon weapon is more powerful than their wave motion gun.

But our reflex gun has a shorter range.

Our weapon reaches here.

But the Argo is here.

So, we'll send our fleet out to lure them into our range, and then we'll finish them.

I've waited a long time for this.

A chance to show Leader Desslok how to defeat the Starforce.

[Venture] All normal.

Engine condition good.

Derek, didn't your brother die in the battle of Pluto?

The one Captain Avatar was in?

That's right, Mark.

Wait until the Gamilons find out that there's another Wildstar around.

Our squadron's taken off.

Do you think that the Starforce will take the bait?

To make sure they will, we'll send an invitation.

Delivered by our missiles.

They can't refuse that.

Isn't that a lovely sight?

Bane, what's the report on the planet bombs?

How many were sent to Earth from our base here on Pluto?

Today we fired off 20 planet bombs.

Reaction on radar.

From OP-3-102 to PZ-1.

Planet bombs!

Captain, there must be a Gamilon base on Pluto.

Yes.

We can't let that base continue to operate.

We have to destroy it.

It's a perfect opportunity.

Captain!

I understand.

Our mission is to get to Iscandar for the Cosmo DNA.

But getting that Pluto base is important too.

Venture to Pluto.

Full speed ahead.

Wildstar, man all battle stations.

Roger.

Argo approaching.

Direction from PZ-102 to OP-69.

We didn't have to set a trap for them.

They're coming to us of their own free will.

Squadron, maintain formation and head straight for the Starforce.

This is the map of Pluto.

We must destroy this base that has been launching

the deadly planet bombs that have been destroying Earth.

They originate at this point.

The Gamilon base on Pluto.

That's our target.

Wildstar, now you can win this one for your brother, Alex.

That's right, Venture.

I wish he could be with us right now.

He was a great fighter.

Uh, Captain, are we going to use the wave motion gun?

No, shock Cannon.

What?

There's life on Pluto.

If we use the wave gun, it means destruction of all that life.

We are not permitted to destroy life on planets of the solar system.

The Starforce is on a mission to save life on planet Earth.

It would be wrong for us to destroy another planet.

But, Captain Aptotar... All we want to do is destroy the base.

Wildstar, we're in Gamilon territory now.

We better be prepared for an attack.

Roger.

Gamilon attack.

Two squadrons confirmed.

Upper right 45 degrees and upper left 45 degrees.

They're in two groups, flying in the same direction as the Argo.

Wildstar, raise the angle of attack on the shock cannons.

Yes, sir.

Port 30 degrees elevation.

Starboard 30 degrees.

Fire.

Shock Cannon preparation completed.

Black Tiger, this is Wildstar.

Clear the area.

The Argo's going to fire.

Fire.

Bullseye.

Captain, we're pursuing them.

Bane, keep on the offensive.

Fire the missiles.

Then we knock them out with the reflex gun.

[sinister laugh]

Captain, missiles dead ahead.

Starboard to helm 45 degrees.

Standby for missile-to-missile firing.

Ready the pulse laser now.

Roger. Firing tube open.

Pulse laser preparation completed.

Missile-to-missile ready.

Open fire.

Pulse laser open fire.

Any damage?

There's a hole in the deck of the aft engine room.

One missile hit the Argo.

Sir, the Argo is badly damaged.

Very good.

Prepare the reflex gun.

Reflex gun remote control set.

Energy recharge 150 degrees.

The Argo is nearing the end of its futile journey.

Too bad they've traveled so far, only to be shot down by our reflex gun.

Ready fire.

Open fire.

A powerful surge of energy is heading straight towards the Argo.

We're hit!

Damage on port side.

Brake system is out of order.

Can't hold down the engine output.

[sinister laugh again]

It's no use.

We're plunging toward Pluto at full speed.

15 degrees starboard. Pluto's moon.

Wildstar, fire the rocket anchor.

Yes, Captain.

Side-breaking jets on.

Phew.

I thought we were going to crash into Pluto's moon.

We're wasting our time parking on this moon.

The Gamilons are down on Pluto.

Captain, I'll start the repair work at once.

Aren't we taking a terrible chance by staying here?

We couldn't survive another hit like that, could we?

We're safe on Pluto's moon for a while.

Their base is way over on the opposite side of Pluto.

They can't see us for now.

Argo is on the opposite side of Pluto.

The opposite side?

Oh no, Starforce, you're not getting away.

My reflex gun can shoot around corners.

Open the satellite blades of the reflex gun.

Home in on the Argo.

Reflex satellites number 2, number 10, number 11, and number 6 are standing by.

Targeting the Argo.

Reflex base computer set.

Satellite number 2, adjustment completed.

Satellite number 6, adjustment completed.

Reflex satellite programming completed.

Ready reflex gun.

Ready...

Fire!

Energy ray heading toward Argo.

Captain Avatar, we're going straight down.

Captain Avatar, there's a sea near the equator.

Steer towards the water.

Venture, take her down to that sea.

Argo is heading for the sea.

One more blast and the Argo is done for.

Reflex satellite guns, stand by to fire.

Close water partition.

Splashdown completed.

You've got more lives than I thought you had, Argo.

But you're no match for the reflex gun.

Reflex satellite gun, stand by.

Fire!

Oh no! The energy force is coming at us again.

Hey, the ship is tilting.

Come on, you've got to do something.

Captain Avatar, we're out of control.

Take it easy, relax.

I tell you, we're going to be all right.

The star force is sinking.

Ha ha ha ha ha

It took a little longer than I expected, but we did it.

Bane, report it to Leader Desslok.

Leader Desslok, we have great news from Pluto.

Colonel Gantz reports the reflex gun is a great success.

It has sunk the Starforce.

Hmmm

They are at the bottom of Pluto's Equatorial sea.

And you interrupt my pleasure's quip with this trifling news?

My apologies, sir.

Of course, it's a trifle. It's nothing at all.

Krypt, you're an idiot.

[Narrator] Can this be the end of the Starforce?

Have they gone to the bottom of the sea on Pluto, taking with them the hopes of all mankind?

Crushing the dream that Earth could be saved?

The Starforce must go on.

Time is running out.

Planet Earth has only 356 days left.
