Meifon!
Yayoi!
What brings you here, sweetie?
Uncle Leon brought me here.
I realize that this may be a bother while you`re working...
...but these kids insisted that I bring them.
Hey, look!
Yeah!
Look at the monster man!
Hey, monster man!
It`s a space monster
Wow!
I`m going to get you, monster man!
Take this!
Now, now...
Duuz is not a monster man. He`s a Dragonite.
Oh, boy...
Duuz!
The Oracion System...
...is an area rich in mineral deposits on the frontier of space.
The Oracion System ...is an area rich in mineral deposits on the frontier of space.
As various companies mine these resources...
...it is only natural that pirates prey upon them like packs of hyenas.
The police were no match for their crafty maneuvers.
Out of this situation, private security firms emerged...
...equipped with advanced ships and staffed by professionals.
One such firm, the Links Group, provides a free escort service...
...offering much hope to small firms with limited means.
And leading this firm is a young 1 6-year-old girl...
...called Meifon Li.
Space Guardian - Angel Links
Episode 3: The Proud Dragon
How terrible of those children to call Duuz a `monster`.
Kids these days have pretty foul mouths.
And you shouldn`t be bothered by having made those kids cry.
I`m not bothered.
I was only following what my contract says.
Contract?
Section 8-C...
To recognize that Angel Links is a para-military organization...
...and that each member is not to treat ordinary citizens...
...with intimidation beyond what is necessary.
Was there a section like that?
Then what you did back there was...
...your version of good public relations?
Wow!
Well...
This is an ancient piece of Dragonite art...
...found in a site dating back 60 million years.
Did we bring Duuz just to show this to him?
That`s right.
I`m not really interested in this kind of thing.
We still have some time before we embark...
...so feel free to take a good look.
Are you people from Angel Links?
Who are you?
Oh, yes, this is the science officer who`s managing this shipment...
-...Warre... -Warren Phatom
Captain?
Works of art are my specialty...
...but I don`t think we had an agreement to take a Dragonite.
Warren, he`s a member of the Angel Links crew...
...and will be escorting...
I don`t approve.
How can anyone expect a Dragonite to do any work?
Duuz is our platoon commander.
Do you have a problem with that?
Well, well...
The young President of the Links Group...
...seems to be quite a humanitarian.
But don`t you think it`s preferable...
...to appoint a human for such a critical position?
Hey, Warren!
I think the captain here is the humanitarian.
I only hire competent people.
I thought that Dragonites are a proud race.
I never knew they made good pets for girls.
He`s basically a reptile.
Does the Links Group provide him with a comfortable enough cage?
That`s enough!
What a drag.
This job`s going to be a real pain.
We`re stuck with a man who`s lower than an Oracion sea slug.
Pl-Please, you two...
Relax, Meifon.
I believe this girl...
...needs to learn some manners.
Warren!
Hey, wait!
Let`s not argue!
Get outta my way!
What are you trying to do!
Why, you...!
I call that self-defense!
Meifon...
...even though he may be rude, it`s not right...
...to get into a scuffle before we embark.
There are people who feel they have to pick on someone else...
...in order to prove themselves superior.
I hate that!
The thought of breathing the same air as that man...
...is making my creamy skin get all blotchy.
Huh?
You mean you`re not upset because Duuz was humiliated?
Me?
Why? Duuz can deal with that on his own.
That`s right.
That`s awfully typical of you.
And the subject of all this is cool and composed, as usual.
Inferior people are entitled to feel...
...offended by those who are superior to themselves.
I don`t intend on taking away that mammalian privilege.
Gravity cycle unit! Activated!
Bridge interior inertia control...
General controls, commence control transfer.
Dock draining, complete.
Advance flying unit, launch preparation complete.
3...2... 1...
Take-off!
Advance flying unit, launch confirmed.
Right!
Angel Links! Launch!
Advance flying unit surpassing Mach 1.
Spreading the sound barrier.
Prelude, Strings, Rapsody...
...Interlude, Wind and Nahodka...
...formation complete.
Course, Game Route #3!
Aye-aye.
Setting course to Game Route #3.
So they`re taking the obvious, most direct route...
...through the gaseous field.
This is Dragon Buster.
Setting course to Game Route #3.
Oh, yes...
They`ll disengage the sub-ether drive before the gaseous field.
Time it so we get them before they enter the field.
I threw out a feeler...
...but their commander seems to be the temperamental type...
She`ll definitely fall for it.
Who will be the last to laugh?
I will show you, young girl.
Opening up the sub-ether field.
The route is clear. Drive distance, 0.026 light years.
Standby for hyper-speed flight.
Commence sub-ether drive!
Commencing sub-ether drive.
Arrived at destination.
All ships, re-calibrate!
Resume normal flight after re-forming!
I guess we can`t use the sub-ether drive for a while.
Launching patrol pods!
Patrol pods in flight.
Generating map of the gaseous field.
How long will it take?
Let`s see.
Give me 3 minutes.
Okay.
And while you`re at it, check to see if there`re any pirates.
Then give me 5 minutes?
No! Three minutes!
No moving vehicles in the area.
And no heat traces.
Generating route map.
75%%% complete.
You`ve got 45 seconds!
I see gloom in my sword.
Huh?
Where are you going, Duuz?
I`ll be right back.
Duuz doesn`t seem to be in good spirits.
You think that incident before...
Not to worry. His tail looked good.
Tail?
That`s right.
A Dragonite`s emotions are expressed through his tail.
The tail twitches energetically when he`s feeling good.
It`s quite fun to watch.
I made it! It`s complete!
Within 3 seconds! You pass!
It`s time.
I pray for your success in battle, my comrades.
Escort fleet formation complete.
Just in case, proceed at pulse speed in alert status.
Aye-aye.
Wait a minute.
A sub-ether drive trace at 2 o`clock.
Identity unknown.
Judging by the size, I`d say a Striker Class ship.
Pirates?!
Awfully good timing.
Send out a hailing signal anyway, Aihara.
I`ve done that, but there`s no response!
They`re entering the gaseous field.
I`ve lost their trace.
We`re going to make the first move.
Angel Links, proceed forward!
Have the Nahodka stand by and maintain current position.
Aye-aye.
Wait.
We still don`t know if they`re pirates.
You want to wait until they fire first?
I`m sorry but ""waiting for their first strike"" isn`t in my vocabulary.
I believe in winning by seizing the initiative!
No response.
It can be dangerous to make a reckless move...
...but at this rate we`re definitely not going to get very far.
Angel Links, proceed forward again!
And fire away those missiles!
Has Angel Links made contact with the enemy?
No, they still seem to be searching for it.
Damn. And we just left port too.
Captain!
Ether drive trace...
...at 5 o`clock high!
What?!
Strings has been hit!
Pirates!
Request cover from Angel Links!
Retreat at full power!
Captain!
Power output is stuck at Level E! There`s no response!
It`ll be too late by the time you realize it!
What`s this?!
Then, is this one a decoy?
A fundamental tactic...
Enemy sighted at 1 o`clock high!
It`s a Striker ship!
All right!
Reverse course to provide cover to the Nahodka!
Send a signal to Nahodka, Aihara!
And wait 3 minutes for a response!
Aye-aye!
Nikola!
3 minutes! 3 minutes!
Take us back to the Nahodka in 3 minutes!
Got it!
Aye-aye.
So, it`s my turn now...
Right!
The pride of a Dragonite, huh?
Prelude has been destroyed!
The escort fleet has been wiped out!
Where`s Angel Links!
We`re on target. Dragon Buster, give us your instructions.
C Block starboard has been hit.
Damage is minor!
No effect on flight!
1 more minute...!
2 minutes, 5 5 seconds elapsed.
We`re leaving the gaseous field!
30 seconds until the Striker ship aft of us clears the gaseous field!
Prepare assault unit!
The target is the enemy Grappler ship!
No.
The assault should be on the Nahodka.
My greatest fear is to miss our chance.
We`ve got to catch them off-guard.
Amend order to that of the platoon commander!
After launch of the Assault Ball...
...the Angel Links is to quickly annihilate the enemy fleet
It`s been a while since we`ve done an assault.
I`m anxious to give it a go.
Battle is a divine act.
The consequence of taking it lightly will not be merely a serious injury.
Look who`s talking?
Prepare to launch the Assault Ball!
Target, Nahodka!
Launch!
Enemy Striker ship approaching!
Come about!
We`re going to destroy the rear pirate fleet now!
Just protect the shipment!
Warren?!
Even garbage like this...
...will serve as revenue for the realization of our goals.
I have nothing against you, Captain.
But I don`t want to leave any loose ends.
Comrades!
What?!
It`s him, from before!
It`s-It`s a monster!
What kind of greeting is that?!
Angel Links, Assault Unit! Right here!
Unit? But there`s only two?
We believe in keeping it small and simple.
Oh, Duuz...
Don`t damage the shipment too much.
I know that!
This isn`t even a workout.
I`ve seen him before.
That Warren...!
Taffei!
At least I`ll get that girl...
Die!
Dragonite! Where did you...?!
He disappeared!
Why? Why can`t I see him?!
Can he see me?!
That`s right! He`s a Dragonite!
He can change his body temperature!
That`s only the hilt.
But a weak mammalian like you probably can`t even take that.
Right on!
How did you know where he was?
It`s simple.
I can smell mammalians.
Really...
What if you mistook me for him?!
It doesn`t say anywhere in the contract that, in times of battle...
...I cannot sacrifice the life of the commander.
Well, I suppose it would never have hit me anyway.
I suppose.
