Please lower your voice,

for the song of love is whispering to you.

Please focus your eyes,

and find your way down this long hair.

Ten years is like a dream, one hundred is still but a dream,

a thousand years is merely a flash of light.

To go beyond time is not frightful.

Losing one's light is certainly dreadful.

Cosmos Dream, until the ends of space,

won't you search for love?

The name of the planet is La-metal.

For 1000 years... 2000 years... or further ago, 3000 years...

Unnoticed, it approaches every millennium.

It has continued since the Cretaceous period, i.e., around 98 million years ago.

Since Earth's birth, La-metal has come near, gone far away, and then near again.

When it approaches Earth, a woman with a single destiny lands upon it.

Is this woman who has lived for millennia and presided over Earth's destiny

a witch that leads humanity to its extinction?

Or could she be a goddess who leads the humans of Earth to salvation?

Earth's Impending Crisis!

Dad, I'm home!

Hajime, don't enter the house!

AMAMORI ELECTRON ACCELERATORS

Amamori Hajime, a junior high school student, who miraculously escaped death,

was committed to the care of his uncle who worked at Mt. Tsukuba Observatory.

His uncle told him the sad news of his parents' death.

Here are their death certificates from the hospital.

Certificate of Death

That's a lie...

That's a lie!

Huh! Hajime!

No!

You like stars, don't you, Hajime-kun?

Yes, I love them!

But I don't just want to watch them. I want to go to them!

Eh?

I want to become the pilot of a spaceship and travel to the stars.

But why are you working here at the observatory?

I want to become a stewardess on the future solar system express.

So now I'm learning different things about stars and astronomy.

Oh, I'll be a pilot, and Yayoi-san will be a stewardess...

Yukino Yayoi, his uncle's secretary and daughter of a couple at the Sanshoku Ramen Shop,

encouraged Hajime, and he vowed to live strongly.

Hajime, look at the shining point on the screen!

It's a planet that was recently detected.

It's approaching Earth's orbit at full speed.

According to the computer's calculations, it'll be closest to Earth this year,

on September 9, at 00:09:09 a.m.

Huh?

One day, Chief Amamori received a videotape from a mysterious group.

Chief Amamori, I'm a representative of an organization called the Millennium Thieves.

You must be well aware now, Chief, that a tenth planet...

is approaching from beyond the solar system.

You named this planet "Amamori," but its real name is "La-metal."

Planet La-metal?!

As you've predicted, on September 9, 1999, at 00:09:09 a.m., this planet will destroy Earth.

Queen Millennia is a witch who kidnaps talented earthlings, like scientists and engineers,

before the day of destruction and brings them to planet La-metal to force them to work as slaves.

W-what?!

We shall crush Queen Millennia's plans and humanity—

Huh?! Yayoi-san!

What are you doing, Yukino-kun?

Queen Millennia isn't a witch!

Yukino-kun!

Yayoi-san!

Here you go. I'm sorry for being emotional earlier.

No, it's okay, really.

More importantly, do you want to tell me something?

Yayoi! Yayoi!

Come help me for a minute, will ya?

In ten minutes, please enter that closet.

The closet?

Okay, it's been ten minutes.

Huh?!

I've never imagined there was this kind of thing inside the closet.

I wonder who made something like this and why?

What's this? It says "Knock," doesn't it?

It was the inside of the great cave, which spread under the Kanto Plain.

S-spaceship!

Hajime was on a spaceship that was piloted by someone...

and went to a large-scale uninhabited housing complex.

W-who are you?

I'm the eternal caretaker of these estates.

The eternal caretaker?

However, in the very nick of time...

Stop at once!

This boy must not be killed.

Y-Yayoi-san!

You're awake! You're safe now.

Yayoi told Hajime that she was a member of a group,

led by Queen Millennia, who fought against the Millennium Thieves.

Taking advantage of planet La-metal's arrival, the Millennium Thieves were planning...

on plunging Earth into chaos, according to Yayoi.

Hajime saw a dark shadow behind her words.

He returned to the observatory and recalled the words his father left him.

Hajime, the universe, look at the endless universe!

His father's last words sounding in his mind,

Hajime looked inside the astronomical telescope that his father made for him.

A mysterious set of blueprints was concealed inside the telescope!

For some reason,

the Millennium Thieves were afraid of Queen Millennia obtaining the mysterious blueprint.

Then, they kidnapped Hajime to their hideout where he heard an unusual story.

The blueprint is for a spaceship reactor that will eradicate humanity!

"The blueprint is for the reactor of a spaceship that will destroy humanity?"

With humanity on the verge of extinction,

is his true friend Queen Millennia, or the Millennium Thieves?

Furthermore, who on earth drove his dearest parents to death?

For whom was his father drawing the mysterious blueprint?

Hajime went to see Yayoi at the underground base again to discover the truth.

Alright, I'm going in!

You can't get away, so come out immediately!

Damn! I thought I did well.

What?! You again!

Y-Yamori-san!

Put your hands over your head and step forward!

Yamori-san, please let me see Queen Millennia!

Who's there?!

Mirai?!

Take Amamori Hajime-san to the Machine Palace.

What?! T-this little punk?

It's an order from Queen Millennia.

Queen Millennia?

Ah!

The queen will meet you here.

Thank you very much, Mirai.

It's my pleasure, Your Highness.

Amamori Hajime-san, come closer.

C-closer?

Hajime-kun, why did you come here again, despite the danger of being executed?

I wanted to find out if what the Millennium Thieves told me was true, or not.

Please, Your Highness, let me see your face!

Y-Yayoi-san?!

I'm Queen Millennia, a woman who is allowed to stay on Earth for a thousand years only.

A thousand years only?

Yes. I observe people's lives on Earth for a thousand years.

Then, I search for talented people and bring them to my planet.

Why do you have to do such a thing?

To save my planet.

What?!

On our planet, La-metal, we have heavy snowstorms that last for eight hundred years.

We are forced to sleep under ice 300 meters thick.

When the snowstorm is over, and the ice melts away, we are free to walk the land.

But that period lasts for only two hundred years.

We need help from human beings, who can support us while we are sleeping.

Otherwise, our planet will be...

To protect your planet, you kidnap people from Earth?

I'll never, never accept such a thing!

You're right.

Those who live on a planet should decide its destiny.

It's not right to change our destiny with the help of aliens. I understand that.

Then why?

You made me do this, Hajime-kun.

What?!

Yayoi-san...

But, Hajime-kun! It's just a matter of time before Earth is destroyed by the approach of La-metal.

My wish is to save as many people as possible.

If you have enough power to save us, why can't you stop La-metal's approach?

I can't do that.

Changing the laws of nature in the universe means death.

The only thing we can do is evacuate the people of this planet.

Therefore, I need that blueprint.

What I asked your father to make was a reactor for a spaceship to carry people.

I see...

But then, it ended up in that accident...

It was all my fault.

Saint Mother...

Queen Millennia, do you hear me?

Yes, I do.

The voice that has just reached Yayoi's ears was from Saint Queen Larela,

who's considered a goddess that controls Queen Millennia.

The planet where Saint Queen Larela lives...

is La-metal, which is approaching Earth by the second.

A communication from La-metal has just reached Earth for the first time.

This meant that the day of Earth's destruction had come closer.

You were sent to Earth when you were very young...

and were brought up without knowledge of La-metal.

But you're coming back to your mother planet, soon.

You're working properly on your sacred task, aren't you?

Yes.

Your task is to bring eternal prosperity to all La-metalians.

As you work, be sure to keep that in mind.

Do you understand?

Yes, Sacred Mother.

Do not forget it!

Yayoi submitted her resignation to Chief Amamori and left the observatory.

Good-bye, Hajime-kun.

Hajime-kun...

You're so cruel, Yayoi-san.

You quit working at the observatory without telling me.

It's so cruel!

Oh, Sacred Mother, why did you send me to Earth to be Queen Millennia?

If I weren't Queen Millennia, I wouldn't be suffering like this.

Sacred Mother, the crown of Queen Millennia is a heavy duty that I cannot take.

About Queen Millennia? You may speak!

In the last report, we said everything was okay. But that wasn't true.

What?!

For example, we haven't completed the reactor for our big spaceship yet,

and the kidnap plan has reached less than half of its goal.

Do you speak the truth?

Yamori informed Saint Queen Larela that Queen Millennia was neglecting her duty...

and was about to open her heart to the earthlings.

Saint Queen Larela sent a reconnaissance ship to check...

if the rumors of Queen Millennia's treachery were true.

Yayoi wondered how to make her decision. A stormy dilemma raged in her mind.

It would be a betrayal to Saint Queen to save Earth.

Furthermore, Saint Queen's attack would kill many innocent people on Earth.

Then, the gentle smiles of her mother and father, as well as Hajime, came to Yayoi's mind.

There's one thing my dad told me.

If you really want to love yourself, you should love others first.

Then you'll be loved by others.

When everyone is like that, humans can live the happiest life.

This vast Earth has been developed by all of us humans who take care of each other.

Isn't it wonderful?

Joy to love?

Joy to be loved?

Yayoi made up her mind to save Earth and its people, no matter what the cost.

When Hajime found out about her resolve,

he also made up his mind to give the blueprint to Yayoi, Queen Millennia.

Yayoi-san!

Hajime-kun!

Yayoi-san, I brought the blueprint.

Thank you.

I promise not to disappoint you.

Thank you, Hajime-kun!

Dad! Mom! I gave the blueprint to Yayoi-san.

However, destruction of Earth is drawing near.

Queen Millennia fights with all her might to save the life on Earth.

Nonetheless, the moment when Earth is to be wiped out,

on September 9, 1999, at 00:09:09 a.m., has finally arrived!

To be continued...

Living within the legend,

Who is this person?

A shining figure with radiant hair,

a queen of queens.

Yours is a life immortal,

but why are your eyes so sad?

Thou can not reach Avalon.

Thou can not enter Paradise...
