01x23 - The End of Earth

[bunniefuu]

Space Pilot Hagen, sir. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm Barry

Hercules, doc.

Commander Makara's battle cruiser has

finally been destroyed by Shiro, Hercules

and Lee in the Die X, but the Imperial

Master's home planet has been propelled

out of its orbit and is heading for

Earth. Shyro and the crew of X-b*mber

are desperately trying to reach the solar

system in time to defend their planet.

What's that light?Real weird. I've never

seen anything like it. It's blinding.

Yeah, you'd think

we just flown through the gate of heaven.

I should have thought that it was

obvious. Remember, all will become clear

at the beginning of the new century. Now

concentrate on speed. Hey, if it's so

obvious. Why not tell us what it is?I

said it would become obvious in the new

year. You mean in your circuits are so

burnt out you don't really know. I am

going to ignore your idle chatter and

treat your ignorance with a contempted

desert. How'd you like a short circuit?

OK, cut it out, you two.

Shiro, what do you think of it, pal?

Hallie said that at the turn of the new

century, Lammiest's powers would be

dramatically increased. My

head. My head. I can't bear it.

What's wrong?Are you all right,

Professor?I feel as if my head's being

squeezed in a vice. My dear, keep

calm. You know that there are going to be

changes within you as the new year

approaches. Yes, I know that. But what?

What is going to happen to me?I'm

so afraid. Don't be afraid, child.

Hallie and Shira will be close by you

until you greet the new century.

You must have faith and be strong,

Professor.

How far are we from the planet Earth?



millitons. Are you certain we'll reach

Earth before the beginning of the new

century?Yes, we are gaining speed by

Imperial Master. We will reach

planet Earth two or three days before the

new year. Good.

Continue on this course. Hyperspeed.

Where is X-b*mber now?Also

heading for Earth, and they are

travelling at twice hyperspeed, it

seems, but far behind us. So

they continue to challenge me. Don't

worry, they are much too far behind to

catch us before we reach Earth, Master.

That's good. People of the Earth,

I warn you, I am your

doom.

Isn't it a QSO?The spectrum is

certainly red. It could conceivably be a

QSO, but if it's a star, it is

certainly approaching us at hyper speed.

It has come 20,000 millitons nearer to

the Earth since yesterday. If it's a

QSO, the spectrum would change into blue

as it comes nearer. What's the status,

gentleman?General, do we

have a data report from the computer on

that UFO?We are still processing data,

Sir. And radiation levels?Nothing to

report, General. It is too far away to

estimate. Have you tried to communicate?

No response, Sir. Mr. E

Have you tried to call X-b*mber again?

Yes, I did. But once again, no

response, Sir. There won't

be ever. It's months since they left.

They will return. We must not abandon

hope, gentlemen. Keep some faith. I'm

sorry, I didn't mean to imply that we

were. We must find out what object this

is that is travelling towards Earth at

this speed.

Try again. Starfleet must respond. Right.

Starfleet Command. This is X b*mber. Do

you copy X b*mber calling Starfleet

Command?Nothing. The line is

dead. Don't give up so easily. Another

example of youthful impatience and lack

of discipline. PPA. Hush up. Do as you're

told. Keep calling. Hey, keep your cool,

PPA. Or you'll twist your wires up. The

kid's doing his best. Let him be. Lee,

can you get a radar fix on the alliance?

Nothing. Not a bleep. Where are they?

Chyro?We're navigating without the

computer, sacrificing navigational

precision for speed. And we must go even

faster. I know. Oh, that light again.

Oh, my head. Lamia.

Lamia, where are you going?Chyro, take my

place, Sir.

Lamia, keep calm. It's my head.

Take it easy, my child. Lamia, it's me,

Professor Hagen. Can you see me?

Something. I see something. What is it?

It's like like a vision.

In my mind, the Imperial

Master,

I perceive the changes within you have

begun. Imperial Master,

you will stop the forward motion of your

planet. You will discontinue your evil

plan. You will not attack the Earth.

Don't dare issue orders for

me. I, the

Imperial Master, rule the universe. Our

solar system will not be dominated by

aggression. Abandon your plan and your

overbearing pride.

I've never seen a master so angry. I

swear that I will destroy you

personally, child. Now go out of my

sight.

Lamia, what's happening?What's wrong?Are

you all right?Come back to us, Lamia.

Master X-b*mber is gaining on us 20,000

minute-doms away. Then they wish to meet

their death. Stand by with laser

torpedoes. We shall destroy

X-b*mber and Lamia. k*ll

Lamia?Yes. If I

cannot harness her power, she is a

danger to the alliance. Already,

the changes are occurring. Her power

grows. She must die. By your

guidance, standby laser torpedoes ready

to fire. Fire now.

Firing torpedoes.

Father, even for the sake of peace in

the universe, I can't stand here and

watch Lamia suffer as she goes through

these changes. Shiro, we can do nothing

to stop her suffering. Whether it be

from pain or wonder, only she can bearit.

Lamia knows that this is her destiny. It

is a transformation she must endurealone.

But Father, my son, this

phenomenon is brought about by the force

of the planets themselves as they shift

towards the beginning of a new century.

And so Lamia

changes as the planets change.

We can't stop it. We can only comfort

her. I understand now, Father.

Gyro to the control room quick.

Father, take care of her.

There's something coming toward us fast.

What is it, Lee?Look at this.

A formation of some kind moving at

tremendous velocity. What is it?Laser

torpedoes. Many of them. What?Laser

torpedoes launched from where?Can you

tell us PPA?

Hey, they're coming right for us.

Invasive maneuvers, red alert! Turning

now. Ohh

You're okay. The

torpedoes are also turning. Hercules,

return their fire. I got 'em.

Shyro, more of them from the right. Now,

They're going to hit us. Hold on,

everyone. Oh, Hercules, you

OK?Too many of them.

PPA, can you compute the exact position

of their launching?I find no sign of an

Alliance ship.

Here they come again.

Hercules, fire again. There's no good. I

can't get a good shot. There's too many

of them. Can't we put up the shields?Only

if we resume computer control.

Are you all right in here?I'll take over

the steering, Shiro. Professor,

if we don't put up the main shields,

we'll be astro dust. If we resume

computer control, we lose precious time.

Look out, lower quadrant. Shiro, to the

right. OK.

Darn it. They got us cold. Four missiles

approaching starboard quadrant. PPA

damage report immediately. Yes, Sir.

Look out starboard quadrant. Coming

straight for us. Hard right, Shyro.

Quickly. Here they

come. Fire in. Hey,

what's happening out there?PPA. What

happened?Laser torpedoes are being

destroyed.

Gyro. Captain Hallie on screen.

Are you all right?We are now, Captain.

Thanks for rescuing us. Extensive damage.

Not extensive. We're operating the

controls for maximum hyperspeed bypassing

computer. That's good. Lose no

time in reaching Earth. I will be

accompanying you there. Thanks, Captain.

Imperial Master, I wish to make a report.

What is this report?Our lasers have been

destroyed. That b*mber proves to be

strong in battle, but

we can still force them to lose. Use even

more precious time. I don't see

how we can, Imperial Master. Of

course you don't. No, of course we don't.

They dare engage me in a deadly

game. But they cannot win. I will slow

them down so they fall even further

behind. I believe I understand. You mean

we should lay down the electric net to

catch an iron fish?We'll use

the electric solar energy net by your

divine guidance. Lay down the

electric net. Your command.

Lee. Any malfunction in the radar systems?

All systems operating at full.

Those torpedoes were launched by the

Alliance. No question of that. If

only we knew their position. Lee, try to

contact Starfleet Command again. Sir.

X-b*mber calling Starfleet Command. Do

you copy?Still nothing. StarfleetCommand.

Is the computer read out danger?General,

insufficient data as yet. Have you

contacted X b*mber?Still no

response. Attempt to contact the UFO

again, Sir.

Hailing frequency open. UFO. This is

Starfleet Command. Do you copy?

Imperial master. Starfleet Command trying

to contact us again. Do not respond.

I want to see. The people of the Earth,

watch their final destruction.

Watch their nightmare come true.

Starfleet Command, do you copy?Still

nothing. Shiro, warning dials beyond the

red zone. So I see.

Lee. What?How far from Earth?Let's check.

Just under 1000 militogs. It's still too

far. We're not going to make it in

time.

Lee, what's wrong?The electrical system.

It's gone completely haywire.

Gosh sakes. Oh,

it's a long way to Tipperary. It's

a long way to.

You're going off course, flying

erratically. We're covered by a net of

some kind. Electric systems are

malfunctioning. Can you use your shields?

Not without going on the computer. And

losing speed. Shiro, we'll soon

be Captain Halley. Captain

Halley. Shiro, you're cut off.

What's happened?Oh,

no. Entire electrical system. Totally

useless. Can't do anything. What is it?

We've lost control. PPA. We need your

help. Underneath the arches.

Try the magnetic beam. Full power, Sir.

Doesn't work.

Come on, guys. Think of something fast.

We're a sitting duck like this. Can't we

go back on computer?

Right, let's try this.

Master, we're within the Earth's orbits.

Master, we have the Earth on screen now.

Good! Battle stations! But

first, I will take pleasure in

taunting them.

It looks like some sort of planet,

General. This is computer room. All

our computer banks have ceased operating.

What has happened to them?

It may have something to do with this

UFO, sir. Try contacting the UFO again.

Sir, this is Starfleet

Command calling UFO. Do you

copy?Yes, Starfleet Command

and people of the Earth. I am

Imperial Master of the Alliance, the

dominators of the universe. The

Imperial Master. You wish to communicate

with me. Why have you entered our solar

system?You know my purpose, General. I

come as your saviour. You mean

our conqueror. You will surrender your

planet to the Imperial Alliance and

accept your fate or suffer the

consequences. I will make your planet a

hell. You will be roasted alive and your

planet completely devastated. Red alert.

All defense stations and space forts. No

bargaining. Prepare to launch an

immediate attack. Red alert. All defense

stations. Scramble all Astro fighters.

Code one. Launch immediate attack.

Code one. All defense stations and space

forts. Immediate attack.

Poor things. My superior weapons will

annihilate your canet. Attack and crush

them. Launch, missiles.

Your command.

We must break free. Stand by. All power

to the main shields. Back on computer.

Fire auxiliary engines, Sir.

We're free, guys. We did it. Shiro, get

us back on course. Here we go.

PPA, check all decks. See if there's any

damage. You all safe, Shiro. I'm

sorry I was unable to help. You couldn't

help from the outside once the net had

covered us. Exactly. Professor

Hagan, is Lamia all right?

She's sleeping under sedation. It's best

for her. We must hurry now. Earth is

being attacked. Heads up, guys.

General, 8 defense stations destroyed and



communications. Imperial Master, this

is Starfleet Command. Do you copy?

Greetings, Earthling. You are no

doubt about to beg for mercy. No,

but to let you know we will fight to the

last man as I expected. Typical

earth arrogance. You refuse to

beg us for mercy. You wish

annihilation instead. You will get

what you asked for. Be forewarned.

Go annihilate the earth.

General

launch every Astro fighter we have.

Launch all Astro fighters.

Continue trying to contact X b*mber.

Master fleets of astral fighters

approaching. Don't destroy all of them.

Hey, I'm in touch with Starfleet Command

on the screen. X-b*mber at

last. Are you all safe, Sir?You

bet we are. General, what's happening on

Earth?The situation is desperate. Our

first wave of fighters have been totally

lost. The alien planet is a

fortress. Awesome weaponry, but we

continue to resist. A fortress planet.

Great. A nice target to hit. Were you

able to solve the mystery of F01?

General Kyle?F01

is Lamia. What?

Lamia. Now I'm beginning to see.

By the way, where's Doctor Ben?The

doctor's dead. He was k*lled by the

Imperial Alliance before we reached the

Kalinian planet. We had to bury him

there. That's bad news. Yes, General.

But I do have one piece of good news,

General Kyle. What?Professor Hagen?

I'm glad to see you. We'll talk later.

Meanwhile, you must make all speed to us,

X-b*mber.

Now, Planet, feel my vengeance.

The Imperial Master's planet, an

impregnable fortress, has assaulted the

Earth in his final bid for total

dominance of the universe. It is almost

the year 3000 AD. The

miracle of the new century of F01

has yet to happen.

Lamia confronts the Imperial Master at

the arrival of the Millennium. The full

power of F-01 versus the awesome might of

the Master himself. General Kyle of Earth

Defense Forces knows that on the outcome

of this battle depends the fate of the

universe. Don't miss the final episode of

Starfleet.
