[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?

Already the Starforce has been delayed by the Gamilons who control Pluto.

Using it as a base from which to launch the planet bombs that are devistating Earth.

The Starforce reaches Pluto. But before the can attempt a landing...

their ship is fired on by the Gamilon's deadly Reflex gun.

This terrible Gamilon weapon succeeds in sinking the Argo...

in the great ocean on Pluto.

[Venture] Water depth 300 meters.

Captain Avatar, is the Argo going to hit the bottom of the sea?

Stabilize at 400 meters.

I'll take command from Bridge 3.

If we just lie low, they'll think they've got us.

Discharge ballast from starboard tank.

[Gantz] Bane, look.

Congratulations, Colonel Gantz.

I knew my tactics would destroy the Starforce.

It's a great victory.

Now send the submarines.

They will destroy them forever.

Aye, aye, sir.

Captain, unidentified objects are approaching.

Submarines or torpedoes?

Looks like submarines, sir.

Captain, we can't sit and wait like this.

Let's organize a special attack group and destroy the Gamilon base.

Permission granted, Wildstar.

Yes, sir.

-Dash. -Yes, sir.

Conroy, Lance, and Kato.

Get aboard the jet recon boat.

Derek, this is a map of Pluto.

Thank you.

Dash, follow me.

Sandor, how is the repair work progressing?

Slowly, sir.

We need eight more hours to get it finished.

Right now, Wildstar needs you.

He's mounting an attack against the Gamilon base.

Yes.

Wildstar, is the recon boat ready?

[Wildstar] All set, sir.

Flood the dock.

Flood the dock for the recon boat, Venture.

Yes, sir.

[Venture] There she goes.

Gamilon submarines... approaching rapidly.

Distance, 40 kilometres.

Prepare to fire missiles.

[crewman] Prepare to fire missiles.

Restore the ship.

Condition, normal.

Release port ballast.

Main tank, open.

[Venture] Restoring water pressure, check.

Gyro position, okay.

Full blast.

Crew, stand ready for undersea battle.

The Starforce still lives?

It's not possible.

What am I going to tell Leader Desslok?

He thinks we've destroyed it.

Bane, destroy that ship.

Hit her hard.

Crush the Starforce.

[Eager] Oxygen supply unit damaged.

What was that?

We're in deep trouble.

We won't be be able to stay underwater much longer.

Homer, contact Wildstar, and tell him we must destroy the

Gamilon base within 3 hours, otherwise we're not going to make it.

That reflex gun must be below the surface,

since we haven't picked up anything on our radar.

Yeah, I understand. Roger.

The Starforce's oxygen supply is running out.

That means if we can't destroy the reflex gun within 3 hours,

the Starforce will have to attempt a last-ditch stand.

Sandor, we have got to find that gun.

If the reflex gun is underground, it must have a ventilation tower.

If we can spot that, we can find the gun.

Captain, a wire from Sandor in the reconnaissance boat.

He says, searching for reflex gun.

Land service of Pluto. Confusing. We're lost.

Venture, surface the ship.

Captain?

Let the Gamelons use their reflex gun.

You think it's all right, Captain?

If we're hit by the reflex gun again...

Don't worry.

Watch the angle of the reflection plates on the gun's space satellites.

They change just before they fire the gun.

We can figure the gun's position from them, and they'll also tell us when to submerge.

The Starforce surfaced, Colonel Gantz.

That's a strange maneuver.

Where do they think they're going?

[Bane] Do you want the reflex gun?

Of course.

Stand by to fire.

Turn satellite number three's reflection plates 30 degrees.

Then correct firing angle.

Open plates on number three.

The reflection plates are opening.

Submerge at once.

Take her down.

Fire!

They missed us!

Wow. That was a close one.

It loses all its power when it hits the water.

Confirmed firing point of reflex gun.

AF3-102.

Contact Wildstar.

Yes, sir.

Dash. Fire missiles to point AF3-102.

Yes, sir.

Look! Look at that!

[Wildstar] That's a missile from the Starforce.

So that's where the reflex gun is.

Now we can get it.

They're aiming at this station.

Send out the fighter planes.

Tell them to drop enough deep sea mines to blow the Argo out the water.

The target area is here.

Sandor, where do you think the reflex gun is?

Hmmm. We have only three hours left.

We've got to locate the reflex gun position or we'll never get away from Pluto.

IQ-9, contact the Starforce.

We are in no condition to take this punishment.

Captain, the recon attack team says our missiles show them the general location of the Gamelon reflex gun.

So, they're continuing to search for it, sir.

Let's surface and make ourselves a target again.

Take her up.

[Homer] Take her up.

[Eager] Main tank open.

Here they come again.

Call back the attack squadron.

Realign the space satellites for the reflex gun.

Direction 85, 39.

Reflection plate for satellite number 3, turn left 20 degrees.

Fire!

Just as I thought, the reflex gun is hidden under the ice.

Sandor, look at that.

That's it. That's where the reflex gun is.

The Starforce is diving!

There's something funny about the way the Starforce is moving.

-What is it? -She's deliberately drawing our fire.

What?

But why is she making herself a target?

[Wildstar] That's it!

[Sandor] So we finally found it.

Huh?

Wait.

Protozoans of Pluto.

Don't kill them.

Put them to sleep with gas.

Ugh! Kato!

They feel like slippery grape gelatin.

[Sandor] They need these large ventilation tubes because the reflex gun creates so much heat.

Whoa!

Ouch!

Be careful.

It is very slippery.

[Wildstar] Now you tell us.

It's really steep.

We gotta work fast before the next shot.

[Sandor] If they fire the gun, we'll go out faster than we came in.

IQ-9, can you cut through here?

Yes, sir.

[Sandor] Maybe the generator room.

[Wildstar] We've got to find the control room for that gun.

[Sandor] Be careful. This place is a powder keg.

Dead end!

Let's break in.

What's this for?

A big empty space?

Wait Wildstar!

[Wildsta] Booby trap!

Captain Avatar, the oxygen is getting very low.

What these fellows need is a month in the country.

Send some air down here and make it fresh and cool.

Around 65 degrees would be nice.

Captain?

We still have 30 minutes more. Calm down.

Good. Who's next?

Hurry up.

Okay, I guess I'm the last.

[Sandor] Look out! The corridor is electrified.

It can kill you.

IQ-9, it's a good thing you can take this electrical charge.

Don't worry about me.

Grounding my electric current clears out my circuits.

Hurry up!

-Boy, that's some big gun. -Hurry up.

Are you allowing enough time to get out?

[Sandor] Just enough.

Let's get out of here fellas! Fast!

The Starforce is surfacing.

...and it's advancing.

[Bane] Reflex gun energy recharged 123.

Satellite number two, correction.

Five degrees.

Wait, Bane.

The Argo submerges every time they see a satellite open.

Try a different one this time.

Yes, sir.

Make the best use of the ship's blind side.

Use satellites one and three and attack from the rear.

This time we'll put an end to the Starforce.

Yes, sir.

Number one and number three satellites open.

Reflex gun, fire!

[Eager] Aft section greatly damaged.

Torch number four and number five hit.

Captain, deploy the wings.

Ascend and attack the Gamilon base.

Captain, confirmed explosion ahead.

[Venture] That's the end of the Reflex gun.

What's happening, Bane?

The reflex gun exploded.

What do you mean?

The water's coming in.

We'd better escape before it's too late.

[Venture] Captain, the Gamilons are retreating.

Now there will be no more planet bombs hitting Earth, at least not from Pluto.

And perhaps soon, Earth will be green and growing again as it once was.

Leader Desslok.

Our headquarters on Pluto is completely destroyed.

Annihilated?

Yes, leader.

Gantz and Bane barely escaped with the fleet.

Escaped?

Did they abandon the Pluto base?

Tell them to return and fight and never come back to Gamilon.

I never want to see that faces.

I'm proud of all of you on the Starforce.

We've given Earth relief from the planet bombs for at least a time.

Now we must get on with the most important part of our mission if Earth is to survive.

And now, on to Iscandar.

Captain, may we go and welcome Wildstar and the others?

I'd like to go too.

They've all done such a wonderful job.

From now on, you'll have it quiet around here.

No more Gamilon bases.

Pluto is all yours.

Look, Wildstar, a welcoming party from the ship.

A party? I love parties.

[Narrator] The Starforce has reason to be happy.

They have wiped out the Gamilon base that has been raining planet bombs on Earth.

But there are still many dangers ahead.

And time is running out.

Now there is less than a year left to complete the perilous journey to Iscandar and back.

In only 354 days, all life on Earth will become extinct.

Hurry, Starforce, to Iscandar.
