[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?

To save Earth from further planet bombs, the Starforce destroys the Gamilon base on Pluto.

And now they're ready to leave our solar system.

Back on Earth, friends and families wait to hear from them.

Starforce, Starforce, emergency call from Earth Defense Headquarters.

Captain Avatar, come in.

This is the Argo.

Cycle 300, adjust to Cycle 300.

Captain Avatar, Captain Avatar, an emergency call from Earth.

Can you come to the bridge?

Earth Defense Headquarters, transmit on Cycle 300.

We're having trouble receiving you.

We can only hold the frequency for about five minutes at a time.

Switch it over to the large video screen.

Avatar, you've travelled quite a distance.

How is the Argo?

The Argo is in good condition, sir.

We're planning to leave our solar system, and this is probably our last communication.

Yes, soon you'll be too far for video transmission.

Earth will miss you.

The news that the Starforce destroyed the Gamilon base on Pluto helped the morale a great deal here.

But the radiation caused by the planet bombs from Pluto has already done its terrible work.

No one dares to spend much time on Earth's surface.

We now all live like moles in underground cities.

And even there, the deadly radiation is reaching us.

But almost worse than the radiation is the fear for the future.

Everyone knows that our only hope, the only chance for Earth to survive,

depends on the Starforce.

We have a great need for news of the Star Force.

How is your mission going?

The farther you travel from Earth, the more anxious we all become.

Can the Starforce complete its mission? Can we hope?

Give me five minutes to correct the frequency.

They must know we'll succeed.

They must know.

You can see, it's harder for them than it is for us.

They can only wait.

We can act.

I want to brief all members of the Starforce on our present position.

We are at the outer limits of our solar system

and about to enter an unexplored galactic system.

In the history of mankind, there's never been a mission such as ours.

Never has the fate of the world depended on so few.

We've only travelled a small part of the 148,000 light years to Iscandar.

As you know, we've already encountered difficulties.

We've lost some time that we must make up.

To do that, we're going to make a space warp.

-A space warp? -We're going to make a space warp. -What's a space warp?

This maneuver will instantly take us into a new space,

enabling us to travel faster than the speed of light.

We'll lose all contact with Earth.

I have arranged for each of you to have five minutes on the telecommunicator to talk to your families.

Gee, I wonder if my gal's going to be home now.

She might be out.

Not enough time.

I'll take it.

Remember, your families need cheering up.

Life on Earth is very hard now.

Wish them well.

What'll I tell my folks?

Tell them we got engaged.

Here's a picture of my son. He was born just before we left.

Hey, he looks just like you.

Maybe he'll grow out of it.

He will if he's lucky.

We're all set.

First one, come in.

Well, see you later, fellas.

Derek Wildstar, you seem to be feeling low.

Is there anything the matter?

Oh, it's nothing, IQ-9.

Don't bother.

Uh, you're next, Venture.

Hey, Geordie.

Geordie, I'm over here.

Who is it?

Papa, Mama.

It's my brother.

He's here. He's here.

He's here.

How are you there, little brother?

It's our Mark.

Been a long time.

Looks like you lost some weight, Dad.

You think so?

Geordie, what's that you're making?

The Argo. A model of the Argo.

Geordie misses going outside to play in the park.

These underground cities are hard on the children.

They get no sun.

Two of my friends at school can't play with me anymore.

They're sick from the radioactivity.

And I tell them, you'll be back soon with the Cosmo DNA to make them well.

That's true, isn't it?

That's right, Geordie. Yes.

That's all the time for now.

Take care of yourselves.

Mark! Mark!

Geordie, you be a good boy now.

Goodbye.

It'll be my turn soon.

How was it, Venture?

My kid brother's really something.

He built a model of the Argo.

There'll be some new engineers coming along. Ha ha ha ha...

Isn't it time for you to go talk to your grandchild?

Yes, you're right.

[Whistling solemnly...]

Derek Wildstar, your turn to talk to your family is coming up!

Don't you think you should go to the communication room?

IQ-9, leave me alone!

I can't compute his bad mood.

Did you see Lance?

He was crying.

Look, I'm not sure I won't cry. Are you?

Hey, why did you men leave your posts?

Sir, to talk to our families on Earth.

Where's the ready crew?

They're calling their families.

You both know that someone should always be on duty in case of an emergency.

I'm putting you on report.

And get back to your posts!

Everybody's got a family.

Captain!

Captain, is there anything wrong?

Orion is talking to Earth right now, but if there's anything I can do to help you, sir.

Huh? Oh... It's nothing.

He never comes down here.

Wonder what he wanted.

-It's like he was looking for something. -Or someone.

Do you know where Derek is?

His turn is going to be coming up soon.

Wildstar?

I saw him walking toward the hangar earlier.

Oh, dear.

I'm afraid he'll miss his turn.

I'll get him.

Thanks, Conroy.

What are you looking for, Conroy?

Wildstar, Nova's looking for you.

Your turn's coming up.

It's our last chance to talk to Earth, you know.

Did you talk to your folks, Conroy?

No.

Then go and do it now.

It's pounding like an old piston engine.

Nova, Wildstar doesn't seem to want to talk to his family.

I can't believe that.

Captain, you're always welcome in my galley.

But right now, we're busy with dinner preparations.

And if you want your roast beef just right, you're going to have to stand back and let me work.

Yes, I'm sorry. I'll get out of your way.

What are you doing down here?

Uh, just checking things, sir.

He he. That makes two of us.

I see you've repainted.

It looks nice.

Where's my granddaughter?

You sure she's all right?

She hasn't gotten the radiation sickness, has she?

Oh, no, Dad. She's all right.

Bring her up to the screen.

I want to take a close look at her.

I'm right here, Grandpa.

Oh, Kathleen.

Oh, my sweet Kathleen.

I've missed you so much.

There's no one down on Earth for me to call either, Wildstar.

I know how it is for you.

We're going to make it to Iscandar.

You must believe that.

All of us on the Starforce have loved ones on Earth.

We know what is at stake.

Every night, I think of you all, especially you, Kathleen.

Ah! Oh, no!

No, don't go away! Don't stop!

I need more time! More time!

[crying...]

I wonder what's keeping Mr. Orion. His time was up long ago.

I'm sorry, Nova.

I didn't think it would upset me so much.

Orion?

If it's not too much trouble for you, could you stay with me while I talk to my family?

It's my turn, and I'm a little nervous.

Mother?

Who's that?

Nova, we just have five minutes to talk.

So I want to talk to you about your future.

This is the young man who just moved in next door.

Mother, what do you mean?

I know when you get back from your trip, it'll be... well, you'd like him.

I know you have to start thinking about getting married.

There are several more I've been thinking about.

All very respectable and with good jobs.

Your mother is going crazy looking for the right man.

Now, I think this man is the best so far.

He's the architect for the underground city.

Mom, I don't want to talk about that.

We only have five minutes to say goodbye.

Say goodbye? But Nova, you're supposed to be back in a year.

Well, that's true, but...

[Papa] Or did you find someone you like in the Starforce?

Why, that's not true.

Ahem. Maybe I should go.

Nothing doing, Orion. You stay right here.

You don't mean to tell me you fell in love with that old man.

Nova, you should marry a young man. It's more important now than ever.

I'm sorry, Orion.

Mother, let's change the subject.

How are you and father now?

We're all right.

It's you and the other young people who are important.

You and the children you will have.

They can save the Earth.

It's the only hope we have.

You're all I think of.

Bye, Nova.

If I didn't believe you'd come back, I never would

have let you go with the Starforce in the first place.

I never would.

I'll be back, Mother.

Now, Mother.

Don't worry. The Starforce mission is going to succeed.

And I'll soon be home.

Take care of yourself, Nova.

Papa, take care of Mama.

Be careful.

Papa? Mama?

[crying...]

I'm sorry.

I guess I should have known Mother would be like that.

I knew as soon as I saw her she'd be worrying.

That's all right, Nova.

I have a baby boy.

He weighs four and a half kilos.

It's going to be like New Year's Eve when we get back.

My mother-in-law's moved in.

Just for one week, I hope.

I guess the Starforce is my family and space is my home now.

So here you are, Derek.

It's your turn to talk to Earth now.

Sorry. I have something to do.

We can't keep the transmission line open much longer.

Everyone else has had their turn. You're the last one.

All right.

Oh, I forgot to show him how to operate it.

Derek?

What's the matter with him? He's just sitting there.

Isn't it working? Did you press the right button?

There's NO ONE for me to talk to on Earth.

Oh, Derek, I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

Nova!

I wonder how the boy's doing.

It must be hard for him.

They can't understand.

No one can, but...

Come on in, Wildstar.

I knew you'd find your way up here.

Sir?

It's been a tough day for both of us.

I, too, had no one to talk to on Earth.

Share it with me.

Yes sir!

-It's something from Earth. -Thank you sir.

For BOTH of us.

Thank you.

-Wildstar -Yes?

That's our home. And to save it, we must leave it for a while.

But we'll be back.

WE'LL BE BACK!!

Captain!

It's time for us to say our goodbyes to Earth.

Yes, sir.

Goodbye to Earth.

You'll see us again.

The Starforce will return!

We'll return!

-We will return! -We will return!

-We will return! -We will return!....

♪ We will return again. We WILL RETURN! ♪

[Venture] We've just left our solar system.

From now on, visual communication will be impossible.

Attention, the party is over.

Now on to Iscandar.

So the Starforce has dared to come deeper into my domain.

Their puny strength is no match for the power of Gamilon.

We shall seek them out in the vastness of the galaxy.

There is no place where they can hide.

[Narrator] Will the Gamilons stop the Starforce from completing its mission?

Now there are only 315 days left to save all life on Earth.
