Today, Gamilon will finally defeat the Starforce.

We meet them at the Rainbow Galaxy.

Gamilon fighters take off at once!

This is the long-awaited decisive battle between the Gamilons and the Starforce.

General Lysis has assembled a special task force of three fighter carriers and one space battleship.

Now the Gamilon planes take off.

Their first mission, shoot down the Black Tigers, led by Wildstar in his Superstar Fighter.

Gamilon planes approaching fast!

All hands clear the deck and man your positions.

Black Tigers, take off at once! I'll lead you in the Superstar.

Enemy planes above on the left, follow me!

Carrier number 2, precision bombers, take off!

Yes, now we'll use the SMITE machine, our instant matter transporter.

We'll take the Starforce by surprise.

[Volgar] All planes in the SMITE zone!

Okay...

Fantastic!

Enemy planes above, a whole fleet!

What?

They just suddenly appeared, where did they come from?

Wildstar, where are you?

We're under heavy attack. Can you hear me?

So that was a trap to lure our fighter planes away from the Argo.

Captain, we're on our way back.

Cease pursuit. Return to the ship.

She's under attack.

Roger.

Carrier 3, torpedo planes, take off.

Hit the other side of the Argo where they're unprotected.

[Volgar] Torpedo planes are in the SMITE zone.

[Wildstar] They're between me and the ship. I can't get back.

Brace yourselves, everyone. It's another attack.

[Venture] Wildstar, return at once.

We're under heavy attack from another corner.

Now's the time to launch the drill missile.

It'll finish the Starforce once and for all!

Ready the bombers.

Heavy bomber squadron, take off.

We're running low on fuel.

Okay. Let's return to the Argo.

Black Tiger squadron, back in the hold.

Now's the time to use the drill missile.

Activate SMITE!

Oh! Oh!

It just appeared from nowhere.

What hit us?

It was just an impact, no explosion.

It misfired. Are we lucky?

Wait, the missile's turning.

[Avatar] Everyone to the upper deck!

Here it is. IQ-9, we're done for if it explodes.

We've got to get inside. We'll look for the power source.

Yes, sir.

This is Sandor. We're at the power room of the missile.

We're going to reverse the drill action of the missile and make it back itself out.

Five more minutes and that missile will explode.

Yes, we'll all see the end of the Starforce.

We'll call the carrier up for one final blow.

Carriers, move ahead.

[Lysis] We are going to strike the Starforce one last time.

And since you have all contributed to the success of this mission, it is only

fitting that you all participate in our last and active attack against the Starforce.

And then finally, in 4 and a half minutes, the drill

missile that has lodged in the Starforce will explode.

You will all have an unobstructed view of the fireworks.

How is the repair work coming along?

You'd better hurry with the repair work.

If they attack us now, we're helpless.

Sandor, what's happening? Can you disarm the drill missile?

Still trying, sir.

Commence firing!

Enemy approaching on the starboard side.

Is the drill missile still in the way? Can we use the wave gun?

Hey, this is it.

All we have to do is set this into reverse. -Okay.

Oh. Oh. We're absolutely helpless.

The Gamilon fleet is closing in.

There is nothing they can do.

The Starforce is helpless.

The drill missile will explode in thirty seconds, general.

The Starforce put up a good fight.

That's it, IQ. Pull away the wire.

Zzzz!

It's turned!

Okay, reverse setting completed. Let's get out of here!

Look at that! -Wow

[Lysis] What happened? What went wrong? Augh!

[Volgar] The entire is wiped out!

Don't go to pieces, Volgar.

The battle is not ended yet.

There is one more thing I CAN do.

Take a heading straight to the Starforce!

What's it doing?

It's buzzing us.

Can you avoid it?

Both engines full speed and a hard right.

No good. We can't shake her off.

Fly into the black cloud. Maybe they won't find us there.

That's no place to hide. I can see you, but you can't see me.

[Volgar] Sonar reading, Argo is straight down.

Drop the space bombs!

Space bombs!

What about the radar? Can you fix it?

Not yet, Venture. We're helpless.

We can't even locate the ship.

They've now moved above us. The bombs are useless.

Cease firing.

What can we do now?

We've got to get in closer if we're going to finish them off.

I'll get under them and place a bomb on their hull.

That's dangerous!

Maybe the Gamilons gave up and left.

Yeah, we have to get lucky once in a while.

No, I'm afraid Lysis will never give up.

Radar repair work completed.

Oh, no!

The Gamilon ship is right beneath us!

Hey, there's something appearing on the screen.

Captain Avatar, I am Lysis, Gamilon Commander, the man who has been fighting you.

General Lysis, I am Avatar.

The captain of the Argo and commander of the Starforce.

You have invaded our galactic space.

You must leave it one way or the other.

General Lysis, Earth did not start the fight with Gamilon.

It is you who have bombed our home.

Now the only way Earth can survive is for the Starforce to reach the planet Iscandar.

I cannot permit it.

You are a brave man, Captain.

But as you have a mission, so have we.

And we consider your presence in the galaxy a threat to our survival.

You must return to Earth at once.

Lysis, time is short.

Yes, that's a lot truer than you realize, Captain Avatar.

There's a bomb against your hull.

Ten seconds after I leave, it explodes.

Lysis has placed a bomb against our hull.

You have 10 seconds to get to the upper deck.

All hands to the upper deck!

Get moving!

Come on, hurry up!

Out of the engine room!

On the double!

[Sandor] Partitions six and eight on both decks closed.

Hurry! But don't panic.

[Volgar] We're too close!

Couldn't you have taken us farther away?

Did you have to be so close!

You don't understand. I had to be HERE at the end.

I can't believe it. Still the Starforce goes on.

And we're so damaged, we can't pursue her.

And worst of all, I must return to Gamilon.

Head for home.

Well, it wont be pleasant reporting this to Leader Desslok.

He's not going to understand.

This is a sad time for us today.

We've lost many of our friends.

But we're saying goodbye not just to friends, but a part of ourselves.

Each one will be missed.

We all belong to the Starforce.

And to each other.

The Starforce will continue on.

It must go on.

Earth is still in danger.
