Please, God... Watch over the Commander.
Meifon...
Commander... You're doing this to protect us.
The commander will not lose...
...against the program!
l believe she can perform miracles.
Commander...
My name is...
...Meifon Li...
l am...
Go ahead of me.
You're no match...
...for these guys!
Kosei!
Get to Meifon! Quick!
Help her realize her own destiny!
All right!
This is...
From within me...
...l am ceasing to be myself.
Come to me, Meifon.
Goryu!
l...
...know this place.
Why?
l've never been here before.
How strange.
l feel comfortable.
Ever since l walked in here...
My body feels so at ease.
This is...
Goryu!
Welcome home, Meifon.
So, you've come to kill me just as Chenho programmed you.
Don't be stupid!
l'm here of my own will!
Fine then.
l'm just glad that you came.
And l'm sure you have a special fondness for this place.
This is where you were born.
And also the place where the fates turned for Chenho and l.
That's why you know of this place.
Meifon, let's have a nice, long chat.
l have nothing to talk to you about!
Meifon...
...the most advanced android that l know of.
No.
The ultimate killing machine.
Let go.
Do you think l'd face you without improving my odds?
Huh?
Normally, you'd be able to throw me off of you.
However...
...you are not able to free yourself from my hands.
This is the ship in which you were born.
lf you run amuck here, l couldn't defend myself.
ln order to prevent that...
...a control system in this ship acts on your body.
You will not be able to use your super-human power.
That's right.
Here you are nothing but an ordinary girl.
And here...
...you can escape Chenho's maligned program...
...which has placed a time limit on your life.
lf you stay with me.
l'll cover you!
Valeria!
Meifon...
l am the only one who can accept you.
We are two of a kind.
l've even transformed my body...
...changing even my fingerprints and my corneas.
And so l was reborn as Leon Lau.
No matter how hard Chenho searched, he'd never find me.
However...
...l had opened a Pandora's Box with my own hands.
l was able to fool people on the surface...
...but in the end...
...you sensed my DNA through our physical contact...
...resulting in your awakening as a killing machine.
However...
...l have no regrets.
Even if it was a trap...
...l'm grateful to Chenho for bringing us together.
And...
...the feelings l had for you were sincere.
Let's realize our futures together.
Meifon.
You will not create my future!
You want to use my data to create androids...
...and profit from it.
Yes. That's right.
You!
Meifon!
Kosei...
Please!
This is something that only l can do!
Meifon!
Duuz, Valeria...
Taffei!
Meifon, this is the end.
l want you to reconsider.
l want a future together...
l am my own self!
l will chart my own future!
You have only a few days.
That is the totality of your future.
Meifon...
lf you sincerely want to kill me...
...l will lend you that sword.
You can cut off my head...
...or rip out my heart.
Do what you will.
However...
...when you cross over that red line by even one step...
...acting on its own, regardless of my will....
...a laser will rip apart your body.
Having said that...
...the probability of you striking me with that sword...
...is not 0.
Well?
Do you want to try?
This is your last chance.
Goryu...
Why?
l don't know.
l'm surprised at myself.
lt's just that, l didn't want to lose you three times.
When l was reunited with you...
...l was truly overjoyed.
l betrayed Chenho in the past...
...and killed Lifon with my hands.
And even you, an orphan.
Fearing ultimate revenge...
...l changed my appearance, and my name...
...and l decided to live a new life.
However...
l was never able to run away.
lt was never supposed to happen, from the start.
And so...
...this is...
...the answer.
Meifon...
lf you had never made your appearance...
...l would have remained as Leon Lau...
Meifon...
The energy pressure in the alien spaceship...
...is building up!
At this rate, it's going to explode!
How... How can that be?!
Any response?!
No, not yet!
Commander...!
This is the Angel Links! The Angel Links!
Please respond! Commander! Deputy Commander!
Tactical Officer! Platoon Commander!
Anybody! Please respond!
lt's... lt's collapsing...
How can that be...
Aihara...
This is...
This is a terrible way for this to end...!
l can't accept that...
Angel Links! This is Kosei! Do you read?!
Deputy...
Do you read?! Returning to ship!
Prepare to launch!
Everyone's safe!
And, of course...
...Meifon's with us too!
Yes!
Thank you, everyone.
Good morning, Yayoi.
Where am l?
Where's Meifon?
Meifon's gone far, far away.
Far away?
Yes, far away.
She's finally attained it.
A future that is no one's but her's.
Then, l'll see you tomorrow?
Okay.
Thanks for taking me on.
What about this?
Here. Thanks for coming.
These are on the house.
Thank you!
Ow!
You're stories are really so interesting.
Like the story about the dragon who likes puzzles.
Do you enjoy talking to an old lady like me?
Yes.
l lived with my grandfather for a time.
Your grandfather must have loved you.
After all, you did turn into a wonderful young girl.
Yes.
Well?
What story do you have for me today?
Let's see...
lt's about a pretty girl and her cat, which turns into a sword...
...going on a space adventure.
When l'm re-born...
...l'd like to go on an adventure like that.
What about you?
Huh?
lf l can be re-born...
...then l want to be...
...a cat.
A free cat that can eat a lot.
Meifon's Special lnformation Corner!
Today we talk about the Spaceship Angel Links!
Hello to all you Meifon fans out there amongst the stars!
Thanks for waiting!
Today, l, Meifon Li will...
Oh, sorry, sorry...
Today, l, Meifon Li, and Taffei will...
...will reveal the secrets of the Angel Links to you!
This is the Angel Links.
Overall length, 2 50 meters. Overall height, 1 81 meters.
Overall width, 267 meters. All weighing 26,000 gross tons.
And there's...
Let's see here... ln addition to reactor units...
...it is also equipped with a number of gravity cycle units...
Kosei's written out all these difficult things!
Let's forget about that.
The most important thing is that it's elegant, well-proportioned...
...and is totally invincible.
ln other words, it's a ship that was built...
...specially for the beautiful and invincible young lady that l am.
Apparently, it was designed by...
...a genius shipbuilder called Hiraga Dynecourt.
ln other words, a genius built the ship for another genius.
What? You have a problem with that, Taffei?
All right.
And there's nothing like the launch scene for Angel Links.
lt's like, ''We're off to fight the pirates!''
lt's my favorite moment!
This rendering of the launch system was done...
...by Yatake Mi, the man who first came up with the idea.
Actually, launching a ship this size into space...
...is really, really expensive.
Kosei's always complaining about that.
He says it's cheaper to use a shuttle and then switch in orbit.
But what's important is that we defenders of justice put on a show.
We've got to look cool!
You should all know this by now.
The advance flying unit protects the Angel Links from shock waves....
...caused by flying through the atmosphere at supersonic speed.
lt's just a big ball of ice...
...but if we don't launch this first, we'd be in serious trouble.
How serious?
Nikola said the bridge and the reactor wing would get blown away.
He looked real serious when he said it, too.
By the way, the launch speed...
...is apparently over Mach 3 or 4.
Next, we have our Dressing Base.
lt is here that the Angel Links converts from its formal dress...
...to the Carrier Dress or Assault Dress for the mission at hand.
This part that comes out of the bridge is the Angel Core.
Because it's also equipped with an ether drive...
...it can go into space on its own.
But, it just seems like something's missing.
There's no beauty.
So, this is the Carrier Dress.
Jaeger's unit is always...
...on standby here, waiting for my orders.
They haven't been used much. l feel a little bad about that.
But thanks to their intense training...
...Jaeger's unit is quite an amazing fighting force.
lf we were ever to fight each other...
...they might even win one out of three.
This is the Assault Dress.
Unlike the sleek Carrier Dress...
...this one's kind of plump and fat.
lt was built for missions requiring...
...long-range travel, or high-power output.
But we hardly use it at all.
And now, for what you've been waiting for!
Here is just one of Angel Links' devastating weapons!
The Links Cannon!
lf you're running a big battleship, you need a powerful main gun.
Wiping out those pesky pirates with this cannon...
Well, there's just nothing like that feeling you get!
What a way to relieve your stress!
That bright, angelic halo spreading out across space...
Nothing could suit the image of Angel Links more.
Don't you think so, Taffei?
And then, of course...
...we have our true ultimate weapon.
The forbidden PK-equipped Oracle Cannon!
''PK'' is short for ''Pirate Killer''.
ln other words, it's used for destroying pirates.
There are only ten PK-equipped ships...
...in the whole Federation.
And we're the only private organization that has one.
Well, the fact that it's too powerful can be problematic.
After all...
...it completely incapacitates the ship's ether drive...
...the main source of propulsion in spaceships.
Well, uh, there was one occasion...
...where we messed up a bit with that.
Now we have a superior staff and a leader with lots of experience.
So, no problems now!
Hey, shut up.
No big deal.
Our job is to get those pirates, after all.
For that, we can justify anything we have to do.
So, aboard the Angel Links...
...we fight to ensure peace in the Oracion System...
...keeping watch 24 hours a day.
''We're so grateful to you, Angel Links.''
''lt's like having the wings of an Angel...
...gently protecting our valuable ship and crew.''
We'll be always waiting for your S.O.S. Call!
Bye for now!
