SPACE ADVENTURE COBRA
Hi, rookie!
You gave me a hard time yesterday.
Aren't you supposed to be playing with the Z team?
They didn't scare you off, did they?
Hey guys!
Some division 1 people are concerned for you
Thank you very much
Bastard.
He joined the Z team.
Let's go!
Let's train!
EPISODE 18: DEATH GAME AT 0078!
The Red Saxons game will begin at 00:78.
The famous Joe Gillian will play for division 2
How will he play?
We can't wait to see him play against division 1
You made it Cobra!
I can't wait for our appointment.
Ladies and gents, welcome to the Rand Stadium.
It's the best rug-ball stadium in galaxy...
Today is the showdown between division 1 and division 2
The game will start at 00:78
Listen guys!
Today we fight the galaxy champions.
Our quickly-made team doesn't have their techniques.
Head on, we probably have no chance!
And we might all go home dead.
Therefore...
Geek, show the pictures!
Ok!
What's that?
It's our strategy.
These are X-rays taken from the infirmary
X-rays?
Yeah!
All rug-ball players have weaknesses.
Here's the 2nd base Himler's X-ray.
Look there.
He broke his left leg last year.
Looks like that's his weak point.
Exactly.
Of course
If we wake up their old wounds their bodies will end up failing
Geck, next.
That's the bastard who killed our brother, Gelt!
He has two bruised ribs.
He won't survive!
We'll break them again and slash his heart with them.
Calm down.
There is Hildus' shoulder, not healthy yet.
The right field, his right leg.
Don't forget it, if you don't want to die.
What do you want?
Bunch of morons!
I smell that you have already shitted yourselves.
Don't waste your time chatting, better pray.
Bastard, I'll kill you!
Wait!
Kill me?
You've got guts.
Keep that spirit and you'll stay alive for at least one round.
Else, the game will be boring.
100,000 spectators.
Of course we'll make the show.
Oh yeah?
So I'm going to tell you the truth
The spectators love blood more than game...
So...
You'll all end up like this
Prepare to pay for an undertaker.
Shit!
That damn Gelt!
Joe!
Beware!
The guys in division 1 don't like especially you.
No doubt, they want to kill you during the match.
Funny!
It won't be so easy!
Let's go guys!
Time to kick asses!
The game between division 1 and division 2 is about to begin.
First, here comes the division 2 team
And here is division 1!
Their captain is the 1st base's Dan Blood, the season's best blocker.
Joe.
You'll have to show all your skills, to stay alive...
Cobra...
This machine throws the ball at up to 180km/h.
The technicians are completing the final test now...
The settings are complete.
The test-ball is about to launch.
Good!
The test is ok.
Ok!
Let's start.
The exciting rug-ball game is starting!
Division 2 is defending.
Joe Gillian is defending 1st base.
How will he play against division 1?
The batter is N 1, Himler
Against him the pitcher Leo, N 7.
Leo, no strikes immediately!
Relax.
Ok, Joe.
Joe, we'll show you our strength.
What's Leo's first ball going to be?
He adjusts his target
Himler stares at his rival
The first ball!
Yes!
Will the ball get past first base?
He jumps!
Will he get it?
Yes he does!
Himler rushes furiously at Joe!
Himler is out!
Joe Gillian shows his power in this famous block.
All blocks are authorized if you have the ball
But, what a nice block from Joe!
Joe...
You'll really become a star player during this match.
You'll become one of my major incomes!
Batting, the 3rd base, Gelt N 13.
That powerful batter knows how to use his 250cm height!
Here comes that Gelt bastard.
He won't survive this.
We'll avenge you, brother!
Leo, Gelt has an open pose.
Throw low on the outside corner.
He will probably execute a huge swing.
Ok, Joe!
Joe seems to be giving instructions to the pitcher, Leo.
What kind of ball will we see?
Joe, stop showing off.
It's only the beginning of the match.
Gelt, your wide body gives you a larges strike-out zone.
Fire!
The ball passes the left fielder!
Gelt passes the 1st base and goes for the 2nd.
Safe!
He's safe!
Serombo at 2nd base was knocked-down by Self's tackle.
Bastard, I'm going to kill you!
Don't cry bitch.
Be happy you survived that one.
The next batter is Hildus, the pitcher.
Ok, guys!
Let's do this as planned.
Are you Ready?
Oh yes!
Soon, these bastards will panic.
That fatty has two broken ribs.
The pitcher Hildus has a neck problem.
It's interesting, what are they talking about?
I'm sure they have no guts and want to run away.
Damn Gelt, you'll be crying later!
Come on, give a straight ball.
Fire!
Gelt takes off!
The ball lands at the pitcher's feet!
Serombo gets the ball
Will he throw it in time?
You'll have to block me for an "out"!
Lmpossible...
Zack!
The 2nd base!
Out!
Two outs at once!
Shit, they will pay for this!
The audience applauds division 2's game
Division 1 takes their positions.
First up to bat is Geck.
He enters slowly to the batting's left zone.
Geek, show me what you have!
Watch carefully!
Geek gets a stable position.
He grips the bat firmly.
Come on!
The pitcher Hildus adjusts his machine.
Fire!
Bunted!
The ball rolls to 3rd base.
Gelt runs to get it.
Will it reach 1st base in time?
Safe!
He's safe!
Geck shows his amazing speed, against which not even Dan Blood can do anything
Unlucky heh, dear Dan.
We'll see soon...
The next batting is Leo, player N 7
Fire!
Another bunt!
Division 2 keeps bunting!
Hildus throws for the 1st base.
Here come the shoulder block from Dan Blood!
Geek reaches 3rd base!
Oh, Gelt is ready to block without having the ball!
Oh my god... The ball hits Geek's neck!
Geck!
The public protests against Gelt's game.
Judge, do you hear me?
It's Rand
Yes, sir!
What just happened was an accident, in my opinion
Understood?
Yes!
So, be quick to avoid disorder!
Yes, as you wish sir.
The action is judged as an accident.
The runner was in the ball's trajectory.
What... an accident?
Are they shitting me?
damn bastards!
That fucker Gelt...
I swear, I'll kill him!
Stop!
Stay calm!
Joe, why are you stopping us?
Do you have a reason?
They got our friend!
Stand back!
Or we kill YOU!
Damn fools!
Head on you have no chance!
You'll finish this game buried.
Until the game is over, don't the rules authorize security to kill trouble makers?
I know that injury was intended
Rug-ball is an organized massacre.
And they have more experience in this hell.
Cobra, you aren't angry?
I sure am...!
But the judge said it was an accident.
So, there is nothing we can do?
Nothing... except to go on!
I've been waiting this moment, Joe.
I'll kill you with my own hands.
I'll make you into the fool
Next up is N 8, Joe Gillian.
The public makes a standing ovation for this famous blocker
How will he play while attacking?
We are waiting for his fight with 1st base's Dan Blood.
The pitcher Hildus has prepared his first ball.
Bastard...
I'll get you with a stray ball.
Fire!
Look at the scoreboard!
The player Geck that was sent off is now dead.
What!?
Geck...
There is already a death in the 1st half...
This game is really rough...
But replacement players in rug-ball are not allowed
The division 2 team will play 6 against 7
Joe!
The game is over!
The death match starts now!
Joe Gillian gets back into the batter's zone.
What new ball does Hildus have for him?
Seeing my first ball, you're not expecting a ball to the outside corner.
Fire!
It goes to the 2nd base!
Unbelievable, it ripped his glove and ended up on the wall!
Joe passes 2nd base and heads for 3rd!
Die!
Safe!
Safe on 3rd.
Joe Gillian got through Gelt's defense!
Yes, he beat Gelt!
Division 2 has a player on 3rd base though two are already out.
Gelt is out of the match wounded.
Damn Joe...
6 vs 6 mean equality.
Joe...
What the hell are you doing!
I can't forgive you!
Next up for division 2 is Zack Simon.
A 3 meter tall player.
He is a gift of division 2.
Will the division 2 score before half-time?
Dragon from division 1 now covers 3rd base.
The pitcher Hildus prepare the ball.
Cobra.
You'll get to home base!
Fire!
The ball heads for left field.
Bachus goes for it but...
It's a hit!
Joe easily gets to home.
Division 2 has the first point!
Zack passes 2nd base and heads for 3rd.
Bachus takes the ball and throws it to 3rd!
Dragon begins his defense.
No shit!
Time's up!
Division 2 wins the first round
The 1st round ends in hot action.
After a 30 mm pause, division 1 will attack.
We made it Zack!
We are a point ahead!
Joe.
Don't think you'll win because Gelt is gone!
Don't forget the other 6 are still in game.
The real game is only just beginning.
