[Narrator] 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?

Now the Starforce is cruising toward the great Magellanic Cloud.

And new dangers await them at the hands of the Gamilons.

Nova?

What are you doing?

Standing here all alone?

Why can't you see?

I was making a wish.

To whom?

To one of those three stars of Volton.

On the red one.

That star is also called the Wishing Star.

And many ancient people made wishes on that star.

The Wishing Star of Volton.

So far away.

Yet it seems so near now.

I wonder if it really has the power to grant wishes.

Wishing on a faraway hunk of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen?

How can you think things like that?

It's very unscientific, Nova.

But tell me, what did you wish?

It's a secret.

I think I know.

You wished for the success of the Starforce.

-Wrong. -Huh?

The future of the human race?

You're all wrong.

Well then, what did you wish?

Oh

Hey, what's going on, Orion?

Engine room?

There's nothing wrong. All systems are functioning normally.

What's that? But we're at half speed now.

Something must have gone wrong with the engine.

Don't talk nonsense. Nothing's wrong with the engine.

It's your operation's mistake, Venture.

You must be kidding, Orion.

We were on the automatic pilot system.

[Wildstar] What's going on?

Strange.

[Nova] What's wrong?

What is that?

Space net.

[Wildstar] Huh? What?

It's a net.

A powerful electromagnetic net stretched out in space between the Volton stars.

The shock we felt a while ago was because we were caught in a space net.

If we don't get out of it, we'll come to a complete stop in three minutes.

We're in big trouble.

We'd better tell the captain.

Hey!

Where is the captain?

Captain! Captain!

Now, where is the captain?

He always tells us to come to him right away if anything happens.

Detected an unidentified flying object.

About 50 of them.

Distance 10,000 kilometers.

Approaching at the speed of 2.2 space knots a second.

What do you mean, unidentified flying object?

Captain!

Identify them immediately.

Yes, sir.

They're missiles.

Coming right at us.

Full speed astern.

Main engine open.

Full astern.

Full astern. All right.

[Venture] We're not moving. We're still not moving.

What are you doing, Chief?

We're not moving at all.

Not an inch.

Don't start complaining.

I'm doing what I have to do here.

The first group of missiles are approaching.

20 seconds left.

The second group.

40 seconds.

Chief Engineer!

15 seconds left.

Orion! Chief Engineer!

[Eager] We're turning.

Here come the missiles.

[Venture] They missed us.

Missiles.

Second group approaching.

20 seconds.

Full speed.

Use emergency power.

Is this full speed? Orion!

I'm trying my best.

If you can do better, Venture, come down here and do it yourself!

You idiot!

Missiles approaching.

15 seconds.

Captain, should I fire the counter-attack missiles? Captain!

Captain, we've got to act now!

If you're going to be an officer in the Star Force, you need to have self-control.

You don't yell out, idiot.

I know I got angry.

But I was just trying to do my job.

Trying isn't enough.

Apologize.

I understand.

Sorry, Orion.

Come on, Venture.

Let's go have a cup of space java.

Sounds good to me.

Wildstar!

Yes?

Wildstar, who ordered you to shoot the counter-attack missiles?

Well, shouldn't I have done it, Captain?

Of course not!

But Captain Avatar, if I hadn't fired those missiles,

we would have been hit and we wouldn't be here now.

I'm not discussing the end result.

I'm talking about discipline.

You fired those missiles without my order.

Isn't that right?

You are right, sir.

But I did it, Captain.

Because you were not able to give the orders to fire...

That's enough!

Captain, can I help you?

Leave me alone.

Fantastic, Leader Desslok.

The missiles missed them, but they're firmly caught in the space net.

Wait till you see my next move.

Oh!

This is my newest weapon, an Ectogas.

It feeds on energy and consumes matter.

Did you see that?

That's what will happen to the Starforce while they're caught in the space net.

And if by some miracle they escape the net, we'll stop them in the Sea of Fire on Red Star.

If the Ectogas doesn't get them, the Sea of Fire certainly will.

There's no way they can escape us now.

I think it's a perfect plan, don't you?

A great plan, Leader Desslok.

A perfect plan.

Thank you, Krypt.

It was just a simple invention of mine.

But I am glad indeed that the Ectogas can be of some use.

Soon the Starforce will feel the full power of the Gamilons.

I think the time has come.

All right, let's wrap him up.

I've redressed the wound, Doctor.

Thank you, Doctor Sane.

Take care now.

Captain Avatar, there's something else I have to tell you.

Huh?

It's more serious than you think.

You have to be hospitalized.

Hospitalized? With this scratch?

It's not just because of that wound you've been feeling so ill lately.

I think you know that yourself.

I checked the results of your physical test just before we left Earth.

Even then there were signs of radioactive poisons in your body.

And Captain, your condition is getting worse.

No, I cannot be hospitalized.

Captain.

I alone am responsible for this ship.

As a matter of fact, you were so sick today you couldn't issue the order to fire the counter-attack missiles.

If it gets any worse, you'll be totally unable to perform your duties as Commander.

Be hospitalized before the radioactivity gets worse.

Before it's too late.

Captain, Captain, a strange gas is approaching us.

A gas!

Captain Avatar, the gas just ate our stern catapult.

Emergency take-off. Now!

[Eager] Emergency! Emergency!

All hands to stations! All hands to stations!

All power on!

I'll check the scanner to see if there's an opening in the space net.

Yes, at 10 o'clock.

I think we can get through.

Captain, let's go.

But, Derek, straight ahead of us at 10 o'clock is Red Star.

What?

We're heading straight for the Sea of Fire.

It's a trap and we're falling right into it.

Captain, what do we do now?

Forward at full speed to 10 o'clock.

Yes, sir.

Full speed ahead.

But, Captain Avatar, it means we'll plunge right into the Sea of Fire.

It'll melt the ship.

So Captain Avatar has chosen an impossible course.

He flies directly into the Sea of Fire.

It is only a matter of time.

It is working just as you have planned, Leader Desslok.

I will report to you when your plan is complete.

There's no need for that, General Krypt.

If I let myself become involved in the little matter of the Starforce's last

moments, I wouldn't have any time to do any other work, any time to conquer other worlds.

Pull down the protective shield over the entire hull.

Venture, maintain full speed straight toward the Sea of Fire.

The temperature is rising, Captain.

Are you all right, Mark?

Be quiet. Don't talk.

Eager, quickly. Plot the position of the fireball.

Right.

Captain, I think we should put on our spacesuits.

They'll enable us to withstand 800 degrees heat.

Do it.

[Sandor] Attention. All crew members put on spacesuits immediately.

Captain! Captain!

Doctor!

Doctor Sane, quick!

Doctor, here!

Idiot! I can't wear a spacesuit while I'm examining a sick man!

Doctor! Doctor!

Stop the ship! Stop the ship!

What are you trying to do? Kill the Captain?

What's the matter? Are you crazy?

I said stop the ship. Can't you listen to a doctor's order?

Don't stop it.

But Captain...

Thank you, Nova.

My old wound bothered me a bit.

I think I'm getting old, letting this old wound bother me like this.

Isn't that right, Doctor?

Well, anyway, let me check your pulse.

It's nothing serious, Captain, but you must be careful.

You must be very, very, very careful.

Or you'll end up in the hospital.

I know that, Doctor.

Watch out. Those Red Star flares are 10 times the size of the Argo.

On the starboard. K-23, an irregular flare.

Irregular flare, K-23.

Roger

Port side, MM42, irregular flare moving SK-700,

avoiding to starboard.

Roger

It sure is hot in here. It's not healthy.

At present, outside temperature is 2500 degrees.

Inside, 400.

Hold on now.

We'll go through it somehow.

Orion, Orion, the power is dropping.

If we lose any speed now, we'll be drawn into Red Star's gravity zone.

What? What about gravity? Venture I can't hear ya.

Engine power is dropping down. Check it over.

All right, all right. Engine power check.

Hold on now. Get up.

Don't let this heat bother you.

Haven't you ever taken a hot shower?

[Eager] At present, we're 300 megameters from Red Star.

Several scrambled magnet zones caused by the Sea of Fire are dead ahead.

The gas behind us is becoming more and more violent.

How will it react when it hits the flames?

[Wildstar] Look at that!

The flames consume the gas.

The captain's smart. He must have known that all the time.

Giant fireball ahead.

It's an irregular one. It wasn't computed.

Look how big it is. And it keeps on rising higher.

Can we avoid it, Mark?

Afraid not, Derek. The ship's speed is too fast.

Quick, Mark. Drop the speed down.

We can't. We'll be drawn into Red Star's gravity zone.

Hmmm...

Wild Star!

Captain?

The wave motion gun.

What? Shoot at the fire with the wave motion gun?

Repeat the order.

Shoot the fire with the wave motion gun!

Straight forward in 500K area. Take aim there, Derek.

Leave it to me.

[Eager] It's too late. We're going straight into it.

Steady, Eager.

We're at full power. Fire the wave motion gun!

[Eager] Fire!

What is it, Krypt? Well, come in.

Leader Desslok.

It's about the Starforce.

Didn't I tell you not to bother reporting on the fate of the Starforce?

But, sir, well...

they went through.

They what?

Leader, your gas was lured into the Sea of Fire.

Then Starforce destroyed the fire with the wave motion gun.

A beautiful strategy by Captain Avatar.

Shall I send out our interceptors?

Interceptors? General Krypt.

Sir.

Send congratulations.

Never mind, Krypt. It will be alright.

Yes, Leader Desslok.

How could the Starforce have escaped? It was a perfect trap.

Nova. Are you still trying to wish on the Red Star?

Can you trust it after what it put us through?

I trust the power of my wishes.

They'll fly off and find a good star to make them come true.

You sure are a stubborn one.

Then what are you wishing so hard for?

I told you it's a secret.

I think you can tell me.

Alright.

I'll tell you, Derek Wildstar.

My wish is for a certain person to fall in love with me.

Well, is that all it is?

Ha ha ha ha ha. Hey.

Who does a certain person mean?

That's the secret. He he he.

Nova! Nova!

[Narrator] The Starforce continues its journey.

As long as there is still time, there is hope.

But when will that day come when nature's beautiful green colors will return to Earth?

It must come soon.

Hurry Starforce to planet Iscandar.
