Designed by the genius, Lord Hiraga Dynecourt...
...the battleship is one of a kind.
It`s pretty awesome, no matter what.
I`d say so.
And I`m the only one who can run it.
With Duuz and Valeria on board...
...we`ll be invincible.
No, I`d say we`re cheating.
I suppose.
Handling one such dilettante...
...or rather two such dilettantes...
...only I can do.
That`s a lot of confidence.
Of course.
Who`d follow an unconfident leader?
Space Guardian - Angel Links
Crossroads
Seven Months Earlier
The president sure was a dictator.
Things should slacken up now.
Well, your section has it easy.
I want to ask you a question.
Why haven`t you shed even one tear...
...since your grandfather passed away?
Well, you don`t have to answer.
You`ll now need to find friends who`ll look out for you.
I don`t need friends.
What I need is a superior staff.
So, you`re Meifon Li?
I was asked to offer my support when you needed it.
I made a promise to your grandfather.
Pleased to meet you.
I shall now read Cheno Li`s last will and testament.
Firstly...
All rights to the Links Group shall pass...
...to my granddaughter, Meifon Li.
Silence.
Secondly...
In addition to current businesses...
...she is to initiate a space security business.
The services of this business shall be offered free of charge.
Thirdly...
The control of said space security business...
...and the command thereof shall be granted to Meifon Li.
A free pirate fighting service?
We`re not a charity!
What was he thinking?
This is Chenho Li`s last will and testament.
As all rights have been granted to me, I expect you all...
...to comply with my, or rather, my grandfather`s wishes.
The Angel Links will be completed in 3 months.
By then, I`ll need you to become a superior crew.
Next!
Yes, sir!
At least we`ve got our crew now.
Angel Links Completion Ceremony
Three Months Later... The Outer Oracion System During Maneuvers
Grappler ship has breached the last defensive line!
Those pirates are from a frontier 20 light years away!
And they`re Ashid B types!
How dare they mess with us!
This is no joke!
Hey, why aren`t we dealing with that grappler ship?!
Shut up! I`m doing the best I can!
You idiots! Do something fast!
Commander!
We`ll be in contact with the Grappler ship in 30 seconds!
The Oracle cannon?!
Wh-What`s happening?! I`ve lost control!
We did it!
Wow!
There`s a big problem, Commander!
There were several merchant ships caught behind the pirates.
There were about 1 7 ships!
The Oracle cannon is a weapon that disturbs the ether...
...robbing a ship of its power and control.
By creating such a violent wave in space...
...control is lost regardless of whether a ship is friend or foe.
Care must be exercised when using this weapon.
The Oracle cannon not only affects normal flight...
...but can also make control under ether drive impossible.
Serves you right for going after pirates!
A free pirate fighting service is stupid. That`s why.
With this recent accident...
...the TS military treaty will most certainly be put on review.
There`re some hungry pirates out there drooling over this.
I appreciate this, Mr. Goryu.
Thank you very much.
- Oh, you don`t use that name. - Links Group`s new business...
-...has faced a difficult start.
TS Military Treaty, Section 6 The Oracle cannon may only be used 60 light seconds away from any civil space route.
President, 1 7 merchant ships have been damaged...
...because of your use of the Oracle cannon.
There are rumors that Angel Links may lose its certification.
Any comments, president?
This incident...
...has been dealt with discreetly.
It did cost a bit though.
Thank you.
In order to run this crazy horse...
...we`ll need some pros to handle it.
That`s right.
Fire the current crew.
TS Military Treaty, Section 6 Article 2
New construction of PK-class ships to be canceled. Current ships to be abandoned at the end of operating lives.
The president sure has messed things up.
Leaving the succession to a 1 6-year-old girl...
...the former president must have been out of his mind.
They were indeed a tough first opponent...
You`ve got to be kidding. Who`ll clean up this mess?
Goryu...
S-Stop it! We`re allies!
Spineless fool.
Traitor!
You`re the traitor!
Losing your courage as you get older?
I`ll never stop being a pirate.
A dream?
Now, you must go, Meifon.
Okay!
The people of this planet believe in rebirth.
But rebirth does not have to be in human form.
Even your parents may one day reappear as other animals.
Then I want to become a cat.
Well, if you want to be reborn as a cat...
Do you want to be a hungry but free cat?
Or a well-fed cat that`s not free?
Which one?
Let`s see...Iet`s see...
A free cat that can eat a lot!
A spoiled child.
A free cat.
Chenho Li
I won`t let anyone get hurt.
I`ll carry on the will of my grandfather.
But that`s what they say.
There`re a couple of people I`m interested in.
I think we should meet them.
I didn`t ask you to do this.
You could trust me a little.
Your grandfather did pick me after all.
There isn`t much time until we begin operations.
I`ve arranged the meetings.
Valeria Vertone
One of them is Valeria Vertone.
A former strategist with the Einhorn Empire.
I wonder if you`re important enough to hire me.
I understand your story.
I`m not interested in the position.
Will you please move?
Forget it. I don`t work for anybody lower in rank than me.
I know my own strength.
Then get out of my way.
Three months.
Huh?
Could you give me three months?
What do you mean?
It`s for my own faith.
I have to realize this project no matter what.
So, please have faith and follow me.
And after three months, if you don`t have faith in me...
...then you can leave at anytime.
Even luck is a part of ability.
I`d like to see your ability.
Duuz Delax Rex
The other is Duuz Delax Rex.
Out of all the Dragonites in the known world...
...he`s most highly regarded for his hand-to-hand combat.
A good addition to our crew.
So, you want to hire me?
If you want me to submit to you, come at me with your sword.
Little girl!
For a mammalian girl...
...your ability is impressive.
But there`s no point in continuing this.
I wouldn`t move if I were you.
I`m impressed with your courage.
But you don`t have a chance of winning in hand-to-hand combat.
Hand-to-hand?
My sword is above your head.
What?!
I lose.
It`ll be all right.
Launch Ceremony
There is no room for emotion in this job.
Emotion interferes with judgment.
In space, the slightest lapse of judgment can mean death.
You may resent being commanded by a young girl.
I don `t care if you dislike me.
But when you are on board, I ask you to leave that behind.
And let`s work together as professionals.
You`re late.
Anyway...
...I`ll be here for 3 months.
All crew have reported.
All right! Prepare to launch!
Grappler ship sighted ahead!
All stations report status!
Th-There`s no identification code!
The enemy Grappler ship is fast approaching!
Commander! Our course!
W-We can take it out anytime.
How cute. Our first battle`s getting sloppy.
I don`t expect to get 1 00%%% in our first battle.
If they`re the enemy, 20%%% should be enough!
If it comes to that, I`ll take them on in hand-to-hand combat.
Anne, give me our status!
Grappler ships approaching at 8 o`clock!
We`ll be within firing range in 30 seconds!
Serge, what`s the output on the Links cannon?
Output at 30%%%!
Hold it there.
What about the surrounding space?
No merchant ships within Links cannon range.
All firing data is in.
Links cannon! Prepare to fire!
Links cannon! Fire!
The first battle is always like this.
Congratulations on the success of your first job.
Take this, buddy!
Subsequently... Director Ozka and several others were fired or demoted.
The Links Group, comprising a new staff, commenced their free pirate-fighting operations with full confidence.
And presently...
Commander!
Huh?
Are you free tonight?
Why?
Anne found a great little Chinese place!
Really? I`m starved! Let`s go!
Okay, it`s decided then.
This sounds like fun.
I`ll join you too.
Wow. How unusual.
It could even snow.
How unscientific.
If it doesn`t snow, Kosei`s picking up the tab.
Why me?
Taffei, Kosei`s buying tonight!
A free pirate fighting service...
One doesn`t normally send their cute...
...granddaughter into a tough business like that.
Oh, Meifon.
I know about that.
Must be somebody`s idea of a joke.
Mu-Must be...
When the time comes, maybe I`ll be reborn as a cat.
Cat?
Chenho Li
Grandpa...
I am now a free cat who can eat a lot.
