[Lysis] As I have stated before to this court, there was no flaw

in my plan to defeat the Starforce at our base on Balun.

Volgar is responsible for failure of the operation.

He should be on trial.

It was my duty to inform Leader Desslok of your insane plan.

You didn't care how you won as long as you got the glory.

Volgar, if my plan had been carried to completion,

the Starforce would have been destroyed before the

artificial sun could have harmed our base.

Your jealous interfering caused it to fail.

You are claiming that your plan would have succeeded?

You never make a mistake?

My operations never fail.

If there had been no call from Desslok, it would have succeeded.

Stop blaming everyone but yourself.

With your arrogant stupidity, you have cost us an important base.

Our control of the galaxy will be greatly limited.

Enough discussion. I vote for the death penalty.

Certain term to death.

Forty years of hard labor.

Life imprisonment.

Capital punishment.

Banish him from Gamilon.

It is the unanimous decision of this court that General Lysis be deprived of all his past honors.

He is to be under house arrest until the day of his execution.

That day to be determined by Leader Desslok.

What is it, Krypt?

Leader Desslok, the result of General Lysis' trial.

Proceed.

It was unanimous. -Unanimous?

Death penalty.

Would you please sign the papers?

Krypt, this is my answer.

Sir.

Leader Desslok, the...

I know that Lysis is often rash, even dangerous.

But he is the only one of my generals I can depend on to defeat the Starforce.

Of course he's made mistakes.

But at least he does something.

Not like those who sit in judgment on him.

Leader Desslok? -Yes, Krypt?

Lysis will live.

Live to defeat the Starforce.

Lysis.

I'm here to tell you that Leader Desslok has pardoned you.

Leader Desslok pardoned me?

And I bring new orders for you.

Leader Desslok wants you to destroy the Starforce.

before it enters the Magellanic Cloud.

You understand?

General Krypt, tell Leader Desslok he will not be disappointed in me.

In the meantime, the laboratory aboard the Argo is busy analyzing specimens collected on planet Balun.

Sandor, I know we salvaged a lot of material from the Gamilon base on Balun.

Are we learning anything about them?

It's just a guess on my part.

But I think that Gamilon is planning to occupy Earth very soon.

Look at these computer tapes.

They were collecting information on Earth's radiation and reporting it to their home base on Gamilon.

Hmm...

If they are planning to move to Earth, then Balun was an important base for them.

And I'll bet it's much closer to Earth than Gamilon.

And we captured and destroyed it.

I'm sure they're going to make us pay for it.

They'll try.

Six different stars gathering into a systematic whole,

plus a gaseous dark cloud make up the cluster of stars.

Good. An ideal spot, Volgar.

The Rainbow Galaxy is where we will fight our decisive battle.

Let us intercept the Starforce here.

Volgar? -Sir?

I want to send a challenge to the Starforce.

But General Lysis, are we prepared to fight the Starforce now?

Don't worry, Volgar.

We have some splendid new weapons that have just been completed.

This is the newly developed space matter instant transforming equipment.

We call it SMITE for short.

Yes, with the SMITE machine, we'll be able to take the Starforce by complete surprise.

We can move solid matter through space in the blink of an eye, even faster.

We can re-materialize our equipment anywhere to surprise the Starforce and throw them off balance.

Do you have any plans for the Starforce's wave motion gun?

He he. Come along with me.

Take a look at that.

What is it?

It's a drill missile.

It's been specially designed to be fired right into the wave motion gun itself,

to finish off the Starforce.

Volgar, after you send my challenge to the Starforce, tell all the commanders to meet here.

What's going on, Nova? Do you know?

No, I don't.

What's happening, Wildstar?

It's a direct communication from the Gamilon General Lysis.

A message from Gamilon?

Translation completed, Captain Avatar.

All right.

Switch on.

To Captain Avatar of the Starforce.

The battle lines between the forces of Gamilon and Earth have never been precisely drawn.

I propose that we meet at the edge of the Magellanic Cloud at RXPT-730 in seven Earth days.

The outcome will determine your future.

If, as I expect, we defeat you, your mission to Iscandar will be finished.

You can, if you wish, withdraw now and return to Earth.

This is Lysis, commander of all Gamilon forces.

This is what we've been waiting for.

I'm not sure a head-on confrontation right now is a good idea.

What do you mean by that, Sandor?

We're outnumbered a hundred to one.

We can't fight them in the open.

So you think we should be good children and turn around and run home, just like they want us to?

Wildstar, we've already lost a lot of time just in skirmishes with the Gamilons.

A full-fledged battle could put us weeks behind our schedule.

Venture, I know we're behind schedule, and it's because of our fights with the Gamilon.

We're going to face the same problem on the return trip.

Wouldn't it make more sense to knock them out now?

Just a minute.

Captain Avatar's on the bridge.

Does he agree with his deputy captain?

We have not sought out the Gamilons.

They have found us, first in our homes on Earth and now here.

We must face them and defeat them before we get to Iscandar.

Carrier number one coming in for landing.

Please clear us.

Captain Rancor reporting.

It's good to be at home base at last.

Carriers 1 and 2 have landed.

Alright. Land carrier 3 at point 3.

There are four space carriers.

Lysis must be planning a very great battle.

You can put us down over there.

Yes, sir.

General Lysis, all four space carriers and their captains have landed.

Good.

Gentlemen, this is an important day.

Captain Scarb from Alpha Battlefield, sir.

Captain Rancor from Diamond, sir.

Captain Zadig from Eleusites, sir.

Captain Borka from Omega, sir.

We have an important mission.

It will determine if Gamilon is to continue to rule the galaxy.

Are you with me?

Yes, sir!

Hey fellas. Take good care of Wildstar's superstar.

It's going to lead the Black Tigers.

Yes, sir!

Venture, what information do we have on the area where we're going to fight the Gamilons?

Here's a chart of the spectrum area, also called the Rainbow Galaxy.

Each star is composed of a different element.

Potassium, copper, sulfur, etc.

And reflects its own color.

This black cloud is composed of a non-toxic gas.

Hmm. I wonder if our radar will work in such an area.

All that metal. And that black cloud.

Which is probably exactly why the Gamilons chose it.

[crowd chants] Desslok.. Desslok.. Desslok..

Officers of Gamilon, I salute you.

This is the first day of a new Gamilon era.

The last day for the Starforce.

This mission is being led by General Lysis and a special task force.

Victory for Gamilon! -Victory for Gamilon!

We now depart for the Rainbow Galaxy. Good hunting to us all!

All aboard!

General Lysis? -Hmm?

Sir, what if we cannot destroy the Starforce with the drill machine?

What then?

He he he. I do not go into battle with doubts and fears,

and I advise you to leave yours at home too.

You think I'm afraid to fight?

Have you forgotten what happened on planet Balun?

Well, I haven't.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

All ships, take-off!

So much of what will take place today will depend on Wildstar.

I wonder if I made the right choice when I made him Deputy-Captain.

He is young for the responsibility, but I feel he is a leader.

I'll know for sure after today.

This is the Rainbow Galaxy area.

Our operation will begin outside this black cloud.

When the Starforce enters the cloud, their radar will not function.

Our first attack will demolish their radar equipment.

Then, they will be helpless.

Once the radar is knocked out, our drill missiles will

penetrate the ship, making the wave motion gun powerless.

The explosion will destroy the Starforce.

That's our battle plan. Are there any questions?

An excellent plan, General Lysis. Very good.

The Starforce doesn't have a chance.

Don't underestimate Avatar.

The captain of the Starforce has defeated some of Gamilon's best generals.

Captain, we'll soon be at the Rainbow Galaxy.

Venture, switch over to automatic pilot.

Yes, sir.

Nova, tell the entire crew to meet at the assembly hall. -Yes, sir.

Boy, I wish I could call home before the battle.

It's better for our families not to know.

They worry a lot.

The Gamilons have us clearly outnumbered. Maybe we should avoid this battle.

And you think we'd be safe then?

We've beaten them in every battle we've had.

Every time. And we can do it again.

We have to fight them sometime. It might as well be now.

Shh. Be quiet.

Here's the captain.

He doesn't look very strong, does he?

Gentlemen, you all know this coming battle between

the Starforce and Gamilon will be a decisive one.

If we can safely avoid it, we would.

There would be no disgrace in avoiding such a conflict,

since our mission is to bring peace to Earth, not war to the universe.

But our enemy has other plans.

Therefore, gentlemen, we must fight and fight well.

We will drink a toast in honor of the occasion.

In water, from a once beautiful spring on Earth!

A toast to Earth and to victory!

No man ever had a better crew.

I have been very fortunate.

I drink to you, my very good friends, and to our coming victory!

To our victory!

To our victory!

[Volgar] General Lysis, the Starforce has arrived!

He he. And it soon will be flying blind with no radar!

Something's wrong with the radar.

Battle stations, all hands!

Attention, all hands!

This is the moment!

I know I can count on every one of you!

[Avatar] Good luck to the Starforce!

All ships ready!

All ships battle ready!

Now the battle line is drawn between the Starforce and Gamilon,

as they prepare to meet for what could be the last time.

Can the Starforce survive the crushing strength of Gamilon?

It must, if Earth is to survive.

And now, planet Earth has only 215 days left.
