Attention please!
Ladies and gentlemen, we've just left demotion sector S-4!
Congratulations, Lieutenant Yamamoto.
What's wrong? You look sad.
Is this for the best?
We don't even know why we're being allowed to return.
True...
But at least we're getting back into the fight. Be happy for that.
Think about what's to be instead of what's been.
The battle's yet to come.
You're right.
The real fight is to come!
We'll have a blast when we get back into the fight, guys!
I think I'm coming down with something.
What's this? Sitting this party out, Captain?
Why?! Damn you...
Why did you rescind the Soyokaze's downgrade without consulting me?!
Um, uh, well, that is...
Tell me before I cut you down where you stand!
I see... If they follow this course back to the fleet...
...they'll pass right next to the front line.
Uh, yeah! Exactly!
It'll be a miracle if they make it back alive!
And that's why you?
Y-Y-Yes, exactly!
I ordered them to return...
...to get rid of the Soyokaze once and for all!
So it was a trick?
Of course! They'll be destroyed by the Raalgon on their way back!
I see.
My apologies, Your Imperial Highness.
In my last battle I encountered a mighty enemy!
Because of that, I request that...
...you allow me to carry out a special operation!
And who was this "mighty enemy"?
I did not know his name.
But I'm convinced that if we don't deal with him soon...
...he will grow into a major threat!
Please! Please allow me to carry out this special operation!
You! Even an admiral has no place...
...requesting orders directly from Her Highness!
I regret any impudence I may show!
Highness, I beg of you!
Why, you! You still don't understand!
Wang, wait!
Highness!
Oh? Admiral Donan did that, did he?
I could see how strongly he felt about it.
Of course, he was also typically melodramatic.
Even though you have a fondness for unusual-looking beasts...
...you've yet to find any beauty in Admiral Donan.
What else would one expect from that man?
Dom, have you any idea...
...who this "mighty enemy" he speaks of might be?
I thought you might have some idea.
That...
I'm afraid I have no idea.
I see. Forgive me for troubling you.
Pay it no mind.
WHAT?! You liked it better when we were downgraded?!
Tell me you aren't serious, Captain!
Well, you see...
...I liked the action when I first became captain.
But it's such a bother...
...and if you can get killed if your luck runs out.
So, I was just wishing that...
...I could rest up from this cold in the demotion sector.
Actually, being downgraded wasn't that boring.
Yeah.
They've got a point.
Yeah, right!
Would you zip it?!
Captain, we came on board this ship to fight!
If you're this weak-bellied, they'll kill us for sure!
Exactly!
Captain, sir!
War is a clash of strength against strength!
Where ally and enemy give it their best...
...and only the winner can survive!
But what do you do when the enemy is more powerful?
We humans have brilliant minds, right?
Without strategy, you can have no tactics!
Without tactics, you can have no victory!
But what if your enemy is also smarter than you?
Then it's a battle of material!
If you have enough military power, nothing can stop you!
In an actual battle, what usually decides it...
...is MATERIAL superiority! Don't you know that, Captain?!
If two equally matched enemies meet in battle...
...then the one with the superior numbers will win!
Is that not how classic games work?!
I see... But, Mr. Yamamoto...
...suppose your enemy outnumbers you as well?
If your enemy is superior in strength, brains, and numbers...
...the outcome is clear!
Enemy warship approaching! Repeat, enemy warship approaching!
Mr. Yamamoto?
Is that clear, Captain?
The main points are strength, brains, and numbers!
I've found you, you broken-down destroyer!
You may have lured me into your trap last time...
...but this time you won't escape!
A duel between a vengeful Donan and Tylor, eh?
Now we will see how good a strategist Tylor is.
All guns have locked on! Ready to fire!
Excellent! Fire particle diffusion bombs!
High-temperature sources closing!
Emergency withdrawal!
Too late!
Then raise the barrier!
Strange. The shots detonated before hitting the barrier.
Maybe they used some old rounds.
Sir, we've got trouble!
The energy from those bombs have knocked out our barrier!
What?!
Oh-ho, Admiral Donan's using standard tactics.
But will they be effective against a man like Tylor?
Right! Don't give them a chance! Open fire!
Damage report!
All six phaser banks are out!
All long-range laser cannons...
...and photon torpedo bays are heavily damaged!
There's no way we can return fire!
No go down here! The catapult's been hit!
We can't launch fighters!
We're stuck, too! The air lock's been blasted!
Communications system has been destroyed!
We can't send out a call for help!
Radar, inoperative!
Well, Mr. Yamamoto, it's pretty clear they're more powerful.
I've just lost navigation, too.
We're helpless.
Uh, Mr. Yamamoto, how do you fight in this situation?
Fight?! How can you fight when you can't shoot back?!
Then are there any good tactics we can use?
It's the captain's job to figure them out!
I can't. Looks like the enemy's smarter than we are.
I guess that leaves us with numbers.
There's only one enemy vessel.
Then it's simple! We warp to our fleet!
Sir, I just said our navigation system's out!
It doesn't matter where, just warp!
Another scary game of Russian roulette, huh?
HURRY!
Admiral! Confirm enemy vessel is engaging subspace drive!
Stay sharp! That's how we failed last time!
Subspace tracking team!
Tracking complete! Enemy subspace exit point confirmed!
Right! Follow them!
Launch fighters at the moment we exit subspace!
Let their death be a slow one.
Admiral! They're initiating another subspace jump!
Right! Recover fighters and commence subspace pursuit!
It's no use, even if they jump again and again.
His actions are so predictable.
Perhaps I overestimated Tylor's skills a bit.
Admiral, report from the radar room.
One of our destroyers is currently engaging the enemy.
We believe it's the Soyokaze.
Understood. Continue observing the situation.
Huh? But, sir...
Continue observations!
Aye, sir! Understood!
Well, just as I thought, isn't it?
The question is what happens now! Be quiet!
You overblown!
Well? Sorry for what you did?!
Admiral, they're initiating another subspace jump!
Let 'em run if they want to!
I'll follow them down to hell if need be!
Enemy vessel has fled into subspace!
Right! Follow them!
Enemy vessel has jumped into subspace again!
What?! Analysis!
Admiral Donan, it appears they're using multiple subspace jumps...
...to try and shake us off!
Don't lose them!
A destroyer-class vessel can't keep jumping indefinitely.
What are you doing, Captain Tylor?
Analysis complete. The vessel's jump range...
...has dropped to half of what it was.
They're running low on power?
Aye, sir! Most definitely!
I don't think they can make another subspace jump.
Right, we have them!
Now to finish them off!
Attention, all ships!
We are to initiate an all-out attack on the enemy destroyer!
All vessels in my fleet are to...
...assemble at the designated coordinates at once!
You've got nowhere left to run!
Try to run up and my fleet'll eat you alive.
Try to run down and you face a burning hell!
Either way, this will end with only one outcome.
All cannons, target the enemy destroyer!
FIRE!!!
What?!
What's happening?! What's going on?!
Our shots are undershooting the target!
Firing path accelerating down and away from target!
It's what?!
The firing path...
The star's gravity! But that will!
Oh, crap!
Tylor!
Damn it all...
Admiral! Admiral Donan!
Admiral, I'm coming to assist you.
Dom, you! I don't want your help!
Just tell me! Was the Soyokaze?
Was the Soyokaze destroyed?
Don't worry. It was engulfed in flames and destroyed.
It... It was...
Sir, there's no way we can help the Baroume now.
I know!
It doesn't matter. I've had my revenge.
Long live the Raalgon Empire!
Admiral, your sacrifice has given me my proof.
Justy Ueki Tylor...
It might be said that he was born to be a captain.
If that was intentional, he's the ultimate strategist...
...and deserves to be a captain.
And if that maneuver was done completely by accident...
...then he's blessed with the greatest luck known.
And, on the battlefield, nothing is more vital than luck.
We made it...
Lieutenant Kim, are you okay?
Yeah, I think so.
And you, Yuriko?
Fine. Just a scratch.
Captain, I know I'll regret asking this, but...
Using the star's gravity...
...wasn't part of some strategy you thought up, was it?
Nope! I was just running away.
Of course.
Well, we couldn't shake them no matter how much we ran.
I was almost ready to give up.
Anyway, I'm just glad we all made it out alive.
We were just lucky.
If we'd been going even a bit slower...
...we might have been caught in that prominence ourselves.
Captain, I think this should serve to make you see...
...that you need to review the ABCs of tactics.
Oh, I don't have to do that.
When it's time to lose, you lose no matter what you do.
Don't you agree?
That guy was stronger, smarter, and outnumbered us.
He still lost.
All we did was run.
Are you suggesting that strength, intelligence...
...and numbers don't even factor into it?!
Well, Captain?! Answer me, please!
I don't know what to say.
I hate to say it, but you need to study up on some stuff.
What?! I have to study something?
Uh-huh. Study up.
Captain, do you want me to study tactics?
Yeah, tactics. The most basic tactic of all, Mr. Yamamoto.
Every kindergartner knows it.
You always win by running away.
Th-Th-That's impossible!
The Soyokaze defeated an enemy fleet single-handedly?!
Ad- Admiral, sir!
Let's not be hasty!
Damn you, let me go! Let me go!
Somebody, help!
There we go. It's just a little bruise, so don't worry.
But you should call for me whenever you get hurt.
Even in the middle of combat, I'll run right to the bridge.
What, this? No, you've got it all wrong.
The enemy attack really messed up the bridge, so...
Sir, you're hopeless. Getting hurt AFTER the battle!
But I'm glad you're all right.
I'm glad, too.
That I get to have you treat me.
Really?
Really.
But it's a shame, isn't it?
That Raalgon captain.
He shouldn't have had to get blown up.
Captain, why would a UPSF officer say something like that?
Well, even though you're a Raalgon spy...
...you were still worried about me, weren't you?
Same reason.
I really hope...
...I can shake off this cold soon.
Oh, Captain...
