[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?

Now, on the 98th day of its mission,

the Starforce is cruising through space on its way to a strange planet.

Balun.

It's the same old stuff again.

They just give it a different name on the menu.

Derek, what's the matter with it?

You complain about the food all the time.

It's silly.

How do you like my dress?

I think I'll wear it when we get to Iscandar and I meet Queen Starsha.

It's been so long since I've worn a dress.

I thought I'd better practice wearing one.

Hello, cutie.

Hiya, cutie.

Way to go, IQ.

Good for you, IQ.

You're very well-constructed, IQ-9.

You're one of the best robots I've ever seen.

I'd even say you're almost human.

I'm programmed that way.

I'm more human than you know.

It's too bad we don't have a pretty girl robot on board the Starforce for you, IQ.

Don't bother.

I'm not interested in a girl robot.

I like Nova.

Nova?

That's ridiculous.

You're talking like you have real feelings, like people do.

I've been made stronger than a human.

Including my feelings.

Electronic gadgets don't have feelings?

I have more feelings than you.

It just wouldn't work, IQ.

Don't you see?

You're a robot and Nova's a human being.

I want to marry her.

Oh, no.

This is a most unusual situation.

Yes, it is.

IQ-9 has been acting very strange lately.

He follows me everywhere. Just everywhere.

It might be that it's time for his 10,000 mile checkup.

Do you think so?

Well, it might explain his strange behavior.

I'll look at his maintenance record.

Thank you very much, Captain.

[Venture] Captain, we just sighted a planet that shows signs of vegetation.

Shall we check it out?

[Avatar] Good. Let's take a look.

[Venture] Altitude 23,000.

Stop at 20,000 meters.

Stop descent at 20,000.

Retrojet on.

Nova -Yes?

Look at that. -Hmmm

It's so green it almost reminds me of Earth.

I want you to go down to the surface and look for a supply of edible plants.

We need them badly.

I understand. May I have the help of... IQ-9, sir?

He's well equipped to do the job.

I wonder of that's a good idea?

I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

I love you, Nova.

Will you marry me?

WHAT?

Now look what you've done. It's all your fault.

You should have been paying attention to your work.

Are you all right?

Can I rest here?

Oh, no.

Robots don't need to rest.

Come on.

I like it here.

Get up. Oh, Oh you have work to do.

Did you see anything?

Lots of green plants. They may be edible.

I'll have to test.

What is that strange thing?

It looks like a strange kind of bee-hive.

Well, let's go and see.

Hello? Is there anybody around here?

Let's go down.

[Eager] We've lost communication with Nova and IQ-9.

Hey, what's happened?

Captain Avatar.

Let's wait and see.

IQ, listen.

[gasp] -Don't be frightened.

IQ!

IQ!

[Nova] Where are they taking us?

We're descending a 5% incline.

Thanks a lot.

[IQ] Are you all right?

So far, yes.

IQ, can you compute who they are and what they're doing?

They seem to be humanoid with the characteristics of bees.

They've been enslaved by the Gamilons and forced to produce large quantities of royal bee jelly.

Their queen, Melina, is controlled by the Gamilons.

The old man who captured us is against the queen.

And he's trying to get the worker bees to revolt against her.

And he thinks we're Gamilons.

Oh, they think we're Gamilons. What's going to happen to us?

There, there, Nova.

I'm sure the Star Force will send out a rescue ship.

They'll find us.

They can't. There's no communication.

Don't worry, Nova.

Please, don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry.

Queen Melina, you've pressed the wrong buttons again.

Oh, oh dear.

That's better.

The Gamilon interplanetary transceiver has just been loaned to you.

Treat it with respect.

As you do our leader, Desslok.

Now what do you want?

When is the rocket tanker coming?

And I'm having trouble with the old man.

The rocket tanker has already left Gamilon.

It will arrive on schedule.

I'm glad to hear you've doubled your production of royal bee jelly.

It's one of leader Desslok's favorite foods.

Ah, and have the mooring mast in position as usual.

And what about the old man?

Tell me, what should I do?

Queen Melina, that is YOUR problem.

If you need OUR help to control your OWN people,

we may have to send someone to rule in YOUR place.

And leader Desslok would be most unhappy.

[crowd cheering]

[Eager] At one o'clock, a strange looking ship. It's closing in.

Captain, it's a Gamilon rocket tanker.

Wildstar, scramble the Black Tigers.

Roger.

[Wildstar] I wonder where the tanker's headed for.

It's too near the Argo, Conroy. We can't blow it up here.

What about the delayed action rockets, Wildstar? We can lay them in the belly of the tanker.

Great idea. Let's do it.

It'll blow up light years away from here.

Wildstar to Black Tigers.

Use your delayed action rockets.

Lay them in the belly of the tanker.

I'm afraid the old bee man plans to kill us.

IQ, stop talking about it. Oh, it needn't bother you at all.

You'll just be recycled back into some scrap metal.

But for us humans, it's an entirely different matter.

Nova.

What?

Is that the way you think of me?

Am I just a lot of scrap metal to you?

I also happen to have life.

I hear. I see. I feel.

All these things were created in me to serve human beings.

And I live among you, sharing your hopes and dreams.

And yes, your fears.

I know when you're lonely and frightened.

I know how you dream of returning to Earth.

All these senses. All this feeling.

I've come to realize is love.

Yes, I'm made of metal.

And I'm strong.

I will fight to protect you.

And if I'm destroyed, and only scrap metal is left, well, it once held a heart.

Oh, IQ.

I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?

Oh, IQ. Oh.

Come on.

Your Highness.

The Gamilon tanker is approaching.

Bees! The Queen is betraying us! Don't let her deceive you!

She sold us out to the Gamilons!

Hear me!

She sold us out to the Gamilons!

She is not fit to be our Queen!

Bring up the prisoners!

If you fire on us, you'll kill these Gamilons too!

And how will you explain that?

To your dear friend, Leader Desslok!

He can't protect you now!

They really do think that we're Gamilons.

Don't worry. Remember what I told you.

Listen to me!

That's the reason you are slaves!

Gamilon wants our royal bee jelly!

And our Queen who should protect us is afraid of Gamilon!

She should fight Gamilon! Is she too weak to be our Queen?

You can prove you're fit to be our Queen!

Fire this gun at the Gamilon tanker!

That will show us you're a true leader!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Did you think I would do it? Guards, stop them!

[IQ] My sensors indicate it was one of our delayed action rockets.

I'll protect you, and they can't hurt me.

They still think we're Gamilons.

It's all right.

They can't hurt me.

I knew the Starforce would find us.

Derek!

It's all right. It's all right.

Hey! Hey, stop it!

We're on your side! We came to help you!

Are you so sure?

They lived peacefully until the Gamilons came, and we look just like Gamilons to them.

In their minds, there's very little difference.

We want something from them, too.

Nova! -Let's go back now.

It won't die!

It's a monster!

It's a monster!

That's right. I am not a human being.

I am a robot.

IQ?

I thought you'd like to know that the bee people gave us a lot of fresh food.

...and some of their very special honey too.

I'm sorry, dear IQ.

I appreciate how you feel about me, but...

That's all right, Nova.

But still, I love you very much, Nova.

And there's no reason why I shouldn't love someone.

No, IQ.

No reason.
