It looks like you're awake.
Who are you?!
We are the Baguan aliens.
We are the descendants of the Infabel
who journeyed beyond the reaches of the solar system.
Descendants?
No!
I can't blame you.
Having to survive in the severe environment that is outer space
has changed our appearance dramatically.
However, the scent that you give off tells all.
You're the original that we've been searching for.
You are the Master Infabel!
I am not! I'm human!
I'm the daughter of my own mother and father!
Master Infabel, where is Element X?
It is something that we absolutely must have.
I don't know!
Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you where it is!
Then you leave me no choice.
I will have to extract the memory of it directly from your brain.
Episode 6 Enter the Super Weapon! The Last Battle for Earth!
This story is a Work of fiction. Names of characters and establishments, etc. Are in no Way related to actual people or establishments, etc.
The small planet that appeared in lunar orbit
has slowed down and come to a stop 24,000 miles from Earth.
The observation satellite has been obliterated.
So, that is indeed the Baguans' planet.
Everything is playing out just as Professor Steamson predicted.
Predicted?
Yeah, Professor Steamson predicted all of this,
predicted that their homing instinct would lead them back to Earth.
Homing instinct? Is that to say that these Baguan aliens...
...are probably the artificial life forms that Professor Steamson sent into outer space.
Just a moment!
At the most, it's been a few decades since the Professor launched that rocket, right?
So, how could that be?
In outer space, the space-time continuum is warped in many places.
In one of those warped places,
the Baguan aliens surely have spent eons making incredible progress.
If you've known that all along, what didn't you ever tell us?!
Because we didn't have any conclusive evidence.
The Professor had only presented his thesis on artificial life forms
when he went into hiding.
Are they even aware that this planet is their home?
No idea, but this much I do know...
The Professor's experiment was a failure.
The Baguan aliens see us humans as their enemies.
Heed my words, Earthlings.
It's her!
Margaret!
We, the Baguan aliens, demand the Earthlings' total surrender.
What?!
If you do not comply with our demands, we will unleash our ultimate weapon,
our planetary bomb.
Do you choose to surrender or to die? We await your answer.
You think we'll bend to your threats?!
We, the people of the Earth, will proudly fight to the end!
Have the Invincible on standby to launch!
Roger. Invincible, standby to launch!
It's the Bucky Show!
Run an emergency check of the premises!
We're getting nothing from the Special Engineering Room!
Nothing from the Radio Control Room!
Nothing from the Medical Room or the Science Lab!
We're getting a humming sound of the Bucky Show theme from hangars 2 and 3!
It seems like the only area that's operating properly
is the area right around this Command Room.
Dr. Anderson, have all crew members that haven't been brainwashed yet
gather immediately in the secret underground hangar.
You're kidding me! That thing's been completed?!
Yes. If we want to save the world, there's no other way left.
Damn, it went and got cold again.
Hey, let's get going.
Go where?
Isn't it obvious? To save her!
Is that really what we should be doing?
What?
The Professor said it... She isn't human.
She's an artificial life form, just like the Baguan aliens.
Maybe she'd be happier living as a Baguan alien than living alone among humans.
It doesn't have a damn thing to do with what she feels!
What's important is whether or not you want to save her!
I know this much, she was depending on you.
When someone is depending on you, they're your responsibility until the end.
Isn't that what being a man is all about?
The first thing we need to do is hook up with the Labyrinth Alliance,
and then we can figure out a way to save her.
Hey! Penny!
What are you doing?
It's Element X.
That mysterious silver-haired guy was franticly looking for it!
What?
The Professor said, "I shall leave Element X where the Synonyms live"!
And what the hell is a "Synonym"?
I don't know. That's why I'm going to look into it. Give me a hand!
We have to look through all of these?
Yeah!
When someone is depending on you, they're your responsibility until the end.
Isn't that what being a man is all about?
Oh, for crying out loud.
What is this?
We anticipated a war in outer space,
so we started top-secret development of this ship, the Universe Knight.
Its top speed is ten times that of the Sky Knight,
and its power output is up to fifty times greater.
I'm surprised you were able to keep it a secret until now!
Even within the Labyrinth Alliance,
only a very select few were involved with its development.
And it doesn't look like any of the radio zombies made it this far.
However, the Universe Knight isn't totally complete.
We don't know exactly what its actual capabilities in combat will be.
It will be fine.
No one ever knows for sure when it comes to combat.
James!
A bigger problem is that we're short on crew members.
Only I and a few others who disobeyed orders got out of harm's way.
I'll go!
Billy!
I have a communications engineering license, and I've already done three spacewalks.
This isn't kid stuff.
I'm aware of that.
I can't ever forgive the Baguan aliens for what they've done to my dear family!
I'm begging you!
Father...
Your knowledge will likely come in handy. Go then.
Thank you!
I'm going too!
Emely?
I can't let Billy face the danger all on his own, now can I?
She's got a point. If we want to preserve peace on Earth, we have to do it ourselves!
Let's go! Prepare the Universe Knight for launch!
Roger!
I don't suppose you have anything a little smaller, do you?
I guess even our professor who thinks of everything
never thought of keeping kids' sizes on hand.
Billy!
Huh? Billy!
Huh?
Here's your lunch. They say you can't fight on an empty stomach, you know.
Um, thanks...
Here you go, Emely.
Thank you.
Here's yours.
Thanks.
Here you go!
Merci beaucoup!
Your lunch!
You shouldn't have!
I thought she had just made one for me... You shouldn't have!
I thought she had just made one for me...
"My dear Billy, make sure you come back."
"I love you!"
Billy, the meeting's about to start.
Um, right!
The Universe Knight may embody the Earth's technological know-how,
but there is no way it can destroy the Baguan planet on its own.
That is why I would like you to fly into the interior of the planet
and take out its propulsion system.
By doing that, the planet should slip out of orbit
and drift off into the far reaches of the Solar System.
Take it to 'em!
Energy filling complete!
Radars are good. All systems are go.
Auto-pilot system, check!
I'll be back.
We will protect this planet... That I swear!
James?
It's nothing.
Launch preparations complete.
Start auxiliary engine!
Starting auxiliary engine!
Engine pressure rising.
Good. Open the gate!
Opening the launch gate.
What's going on?
The gate won't open!
What?!
The opening mechanism's been cut off!
This must be the work of the radio zombies!
Can we get it back on line from here?
Negative. The only way is to have someone leave the ship and do it manually.
We have radio zombies all over the place out there! What should we do?!
I'll go.
What are you saying?!
If you go, who's going to pilot the Universe Knight?!
He just might do it.
He?
Yeah...
My pal.
There's just too much!
There's no way we're going to be able to read through all of this.
I know that there's a clue in here somewhere.
I sure wish he were here right now.
What's that?!
It's an SOS!
Huh?
This is Penny. Billy, do you copy?
I reached him!
Really?
This is Billy. Penny, we need your help!
Where are you right now?
I'm at the secret Labyrinth Alliance hanger.
Due to a problem with the circuitry, we can't launch the Universe Knight.
The radio zombies have taken control of the perimeter.
No one can get out of the hangar and no one can get in.
What?!
Okay, I'll be right over. Just hang on until I get there.
Actually, I've got a favor to ask you too.
Billy, does the term "Synonym" ring any bells for you?
"Synonym"?
I don't have time to explain. Search for it in computers over there!
That won't be necessary.
"Synonym" is the scientific name for black ants. I'm sure of that.
Black ants?
...these ants are one of the new species he discovered...
Oh, I got it.
Billy, thanks!
I'll take care of business down at the Labyrinth Alliance.
You look into this Element X.
Captain, be careful.
There will no longer be suffering due to starvation and sickness.
The Baguan aliens have created a world for us in which
all can live in happiness with smiles on their faces.
Damn! Where's my good music? This stuff's taken over everything! Let us pray. The time of the Baguans has come.
Damn! Where's my good music? This stuff's taken over everything!
You still don't have your answer? We launch the next one in one hour.
We still can't open the gate to launch the Universe Knight?!
We still haven't been able to make contact with the outside.
What if we were to blow through it with a G-Energy discharge?
If we were to do that, we'd take out Metropolitan X as well as the hangar.
So, we're just going to sit here until they hit us with the planetary bomb!?
Yes? This is the Labyrinth Alliance...
Captain Clayton!
Sorry, I got caught in a little traffic.
So, I'm going to be running a bit behind schedule.
Captain, what was that noise?
Nothing. I'm going to be opening the gate.
So, tell James that he better put the coals to the fire when I do!
James!
I heard. I'm ready for launch whenever you are!
That must be it.
So, it's you again!
The Stimson Black Ant... Scientific name; Stimsynonym.
Native to Africa, they do not make their own nests,
but rather live in the nests of other ants which they have occupied.
Also known as "Parasitic Black Ants".
What does it mean?
He said, he'd leave Element X "where the Synonyms live".
But if these ants don't even make their own nests...
So, what in the world is it that makes these ants' nests?
Ow!
Huh?
What is this?!
Amazing...
So, is this what Professor Steamson was talking about all along?
Good work.
Washington! Who are you guys?!
That doesn't concern you. You just hand that over nice and easy.
If you think I'm going to hand this over to you guys...
Hey!
Damn it! What do you think you're doing?!
Yes. Yes, understood.
Penny Carter!
I think you had better come with us.
Launch in twenty seconds. Igniting main engine!
No way...
I see...
Just like James, you can't be killed, can you?!
The launch gate!
So, did you get that strength of yours from the Baguans?!
I see. You may have yourself a body that can't die,
but it looks like you've lost your human soul.
But this is the end for you!
Captain!
I've been wondering all along...
How is it that, after a crash from an altitude of 100,000 feet,
you managed to come back alive?
James, I'm begging this of you...
Save the Earth.
Welcome, Penny Carter.
You're the Secretary-General of the United Nations!
I'm well aware of what you've been up to.
What the heck is going on here?!
We have decided to surrender to the Baguan aliens.
Surrender?
Sixty percent of the U.N. Forces have already been brainwashed by the Baguan aliens.
We are already beyond having any means by which to retaliate.
What?! Billy and the Labyrinth Alliance are still fighting!
I don't recall giving them authorization!
That's a Helmet Worm!
Those are Baguan aliens?!
Well, I think you had better come with us.
We've taken out that giant mother ship.
We've got multiple Helmet Worms closing in at 10 o'clock!
Deploy Super GX cannons.
Deploying Super GX cannons!
Fire Super GX cannons!
Firing Super GX cannons!
An estimated 350 Helmet Worms have been taken out.
There's another attack coming at us head on.
It looks like 2,000 ships... No, 3,000!
I can't even guess how many there are!
Doctor, we've received a transmission. I'm going to patch it through.
Attention, Labyrinth Alliance... Attention, Labyrinth Alliance...
That voice!
This is Freeman, the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
We are going to surrender to the Baguan aliens.
Surrender?!
Cease your attack and surrender!
You're kidding me! The Secretary-General is a radio zombie too?
I'm getting a transmission from Penny.
What?
"The Secretary-General is selling us out to the Baguan aliens."
Trace this signal, and shoot us down?!
Billy, give me Penny's present location!
You can't be serious!
You're really going to shoot that ship down with Penny in it?!
Don't be ridiculous!
I just don't want to lose anyone else either.
External temperature has risen to 3,000 degrees!
Our shields can't hold much longer at this rate!
Where is that transmission coming from?
I found it! It's coming from 3 o'clock!
From that one?
Penny!
Come on, not now!
We've lost the Universe Knight!
Billy...
They ignored the aliens' orders, and this is the result.
The Labyrinth Alliance held on to hope and fought to the end.
But you...
I'm doing this for the future of mankind!
Secretary-General, it looks like we'll be at Planet Bagua shortly.
Where are we?
We're in the process of calculating that.
That battle knocked us a long way off course.
What is our current status?
We've got the thrusters back to forty-five percent capacity.
We've only got enough power to use the Super GX cannons one more time.
Large Helmet Worms have been deployed around the perimeter of Planet Bagua.
So, you mean we can't even get close to it?
Um...
What if we were to re-adjust our orbit and head towards the Moon?
The Moon?
You mean the old swing-by navigation technique?
Yeah, I think we could achieve enough acceleration to approach Planet Bagua
and could attack them from behind.
Sounds good. Re-calculate our orbit right away.
We're going to approach Planet Bagua via swing-by!
Roger!
Don't push yourself.
This wound? It's nothing.
Firing engines!
Margaret!
She is not Margaret.
She is the original. She is the Master Infabel.
What are you talking about?
We received the report.
You're the one who found the blueprint for Element X, are you not?
What are you doing to me?!
I'm going to extract the Element X blueprints from your memory.
You'd go that far?
We've followed your orders!
You said if we did, that you'd guarantee the safety of mankind, did you not?
I most certainly did.
This isn't what you promised!
You said you wouldn't do any further harm to mankind, didn't you?!
I had no choice.
I had to do this in order to protect you.
Margaret...
Please, trust me.
Penny...
Margaret!
Dad... Mom...
Margaret! Dad... Mom...
Margaret!
Am I not human?
Margaret! Am I not human?
Margaret!
We've taken damage on the portside!
Super GX cannons nonoperational!
Engines 2 and 3 badly damaged! I can't get them under control!
Drop 'em!
There it is! The signal's coming from in there!
We're going in! Everyone hang on!
This is Element X?
What was that?!
The Earthlings are attacking.
What? I want them taken care of immediately!
Understood.
Master, please give us a moment.
We'll return after we've dealt with these insects.
Penny!
Penny, are you all right?
I saw it plain as day. I know what these Baguan aliens want.
They want our very lives!
In some far-off warp in space-time,
the Baguans advanced rapidly and brought their civilization to a very high level.
The only thing they were unable to conquer was the limited lifespan of their species.
Then the Baguan aliens set their sights on human bodies thinking that,
since we humans are genetically similar,
they could transplant their beings into our bodies.
So, they started kidnapping people.
But it didn't work out as they intended.
You knew all along?!
They are running out of time,
so they've placed their final hopes in Element X!
If they use Element X, their genetic makeup will be even more similar to ours,
and they can start cross-breeding with young humans, who have such great vitality!
Don't you see what this means?!
We'll be like livestock, whose sole purpose is to produce offspring for the Baguan aliens!
You've got it all wrong!
By becoming more like humans, they'll lose that instinct which drives them to attack us!
I think it's possible that our two species can co-exist!
It's set!
Commander!
I'm going to hold this position. You keep going!
If you want to come, come!
But I ain't going to let you get one step past me!
You've got it totally wrong, Margaret.
Totally wrong.
They don't see us humans as being anything but their tools!
That might have been true before, but they're capable of change!
If they have Element X, they can change the way they live!
Why would you go so far as to ally yourself with them?!
Because I am not human...
Margaret!
I'm an artificial life form created by my grandfather.
They share my blood, like brothers and sisters.
That's why...
What are you saying?!
Whether you're Infabel or whether you're human...
Margaret, you're still you, right?!
Let's go home, back to our planet.
Thanks, Penny, but...
No, Margaret!
Margaret!
Penny!
Are you all right?
Billy, help me out here!
You've gotta stop Margaret!
Follow me!
This way!
How do you know the way?!
Because I've been here once before.
When I was captured by the Baguan aliens, this is where they remade me.
But luckily I was able to escape before they performed brain surgery on me.
Is that why you can't be killed?
Come on, let's go!
I'll do this and save everybody.
Margaret!
Hand that over.
Margaret!
Stop it! I don't want any more blood to be spilled!
The only thing we are doing is exterminating the insects.
Now then, hand over Element X.
We don't have any time left!
James!
Destroy Element X!
James!
I know because I've become a Baguan on a cellular level.
Time is up for the Baguans!
Margaret!
Penny...
I... I love you...
Even though I'm Infabel, I can open my heart to you.
In the same way, you and they can come to understand one another. I know it.
Don't you think it's possible?
What are you doing?! Hurry!
Penny...
Do it.
Billy...
Well, we can't just leave her to die, can we?
But...
We have the power of science on our side, don't we?!
Don't worry.
Penny...
Margaret!
It's beautiful!
Behold the power of Element X!
Don't look!
It's...
Professor Steamson!
Welcome home, my daughters.
If you are watching this, it must mean that you've made it to Earth.
It makes me proud to think that you have overcome both space and time
to make your return from the far reaches of space.
By the time you've made your return,
mankind will probably have taken its first steps into outer space.
Or maybe they just continue to foolishly war among themselves here on Earth.
Tens of thousands of years may have passed, but if we're still around when you arrive,
won't you please raise your voices in unison and declare:
"We have returned".
So, this is the power of Element X?
No, I mean she's still alive.
The purpose of Element X was to prolong the lives of the Infabel!
Then why...
Because of sudden mutation...
In order to survive in a hostile environment,
the Infabel went through a series of rapid mutations.
That evolutionary process harmed them to such a degree that they could not return to normal,
even when their DNA was exposed to Element X.
James...
It's all right.
The Earth will have peace once again, but I won't have any place there.
I'm going, Emely.
Captain Clayton is waiting for me with an opened bottle of wine.
Labyri... iance... ely...
Labyrinth Alliance to Emely.
Doctor!
Planet Bagua has moved out of its orbit.
It will likely slip through space-time at any second.
Get yourselves out of there immediately!
But the Universe Knight isn't going to be able to fly.
Then there's nothing we can do, is there?
A baby?
What the heck's going on?
Margaret?
Goodbye, Penny.
Margaret!
Everything was going well up until now, wasn't it, Grandfather?
No, it's not over yet.
Is that me?
This planet is going to slip back through the rift in time-space that it came out of,
back into the past.
I think that you're capable
of leading your people so that this tragedy does not repeat itself.
At the end of the millennium, a silver trumpet will sound out.
What were we even fighting for?
You liked her, didn't you?
If so, why not go to her?
Even if it takes us to the farthest reaches of outer space...
We could do it, don't you think?
You're right, we just might be able to.
Billy! Penny!
Hey!
I did it!
Young master, Ms. Lotta is here to see you.
You gotta see this!
It's a sub-light speed rocket, powered by a pair-annihilation engine!
With this, we could make the flight to Alpha Centauri in just eight years!
That's great!
I don't suppose you could use that rocket to fly us to the ceremony?
I'll get changed right away!
Looks like it was a good idea to drop by.
This was the worst tragedy ever to befall mankind.
Many precious lives have been lost,
but there is one thing that we've learned from all this:
That mankind is capable of overcoming any hardship with science and unity!
The storm has passed.
The old century has gone, and the 21st century has arrived!
The curtain has opened on a bright future!
Therefore, in order to bring in this new era,
an era that we will leave to the charge of our children,
let us now stand as one!
Are we getting one?!
Yes, it's coming from the M104 region of the Virgo constellation.
Are you kidding?
That's amazing!
If this really is an alien signal, it's going to cause a huge stir all over the world!
Did you record it?
I'm doing that now!
Margaret, where are you on your journey now?
Me, I'm right here.
