01x01 - Scramble, X-Bomber

Post by bunniefuu »

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm Barry

Hercules, Doc.

We're out of failure zone now. Yes,

Commander Makara, 10 parsecs slow from

hyper speed. Slowing down from hyper

speed. The Galaxy stretches before us,

glittering jewels that we will take one

by one, starting with the planet Earth.

That we shall, by your divine guidance,

look out for enemy craft. All

quantum speed ahead. Look out for

Starfleet cruisers and

maintaining quantum

speed.

Star flee closer in front of us. Distance



Cruiser traveling at quantum speed.

Captain propelled to attack. Wait,

Makara. Yes, Imperial Master. The

devastation of Earth is of minor

importance. You understand our real

objective. Keep it locked in your mind.

Always. I will bring you honor, Imperial

Master, by your divine guidance.

Let the attack commence. Victory win.

Prepare laser torpedoes. Combined cluster

as*ault with maximum penetration of the

Starfleet cruiser. Don't leave a single

particle of it.

What is that?

Pluto Base. Pluto Base. This is

Starfleet Cruiser One sighted large alien

warship. Entering our Galaxy from Thalen

Zone. Determine their identity. Yes, Sir.

Commander, we await your divine

order. Destroy it.

The year is



w*r Three has ended. The Galaxy is once

again enjoying a time of peace. Our

solar system, with the Earth as its

leader, is slowly rebuilding, attempting

to forge New Hope out of the ashes of

devastation. Starfleet,

the spearhead of Earth's defenses, is

commanded here at the headquarters of EDF

Earth Defense Forces. An urgent

call from Captain Carter of Pluto Base.

Captain Carter. Open the channel.

Yes, Sir. Go ahead, Captain Carter.

At startime 35426,

Starfleet Cruiser One from Pluto Base was

attacked by laser torpedoes fired from an

alien ship. No provocation, no warning,

no survivors. Oh no, I can't believe it.

Plan of action. We are preparing to

scramble all fighter pilots immediately.

Understood. Pluto Alpha

Base, one of the most important strategic

space force, the front line of Earth's

defenses.

Open launch doors.

Astro fighters, stand by for takeoff.

Number one, go. Astro fighter one,

launching now. Stand by, number two.

Number three, go.

We must not let this unidentified warship

stay in our solar system. It has to be

destroyed before it penetrates our

defenses.

Commander Makara, they've launched their

fighters. Do we attack?Of course.

Annihilate them all.

There's our unwanted guest, fellas. Just

sitting there. Let's give her a little

laser torpedo show. Standing by, Captain.

Ready to attack. Now we'll teach her some

manners.

Move in, Squad 3.

Going in now.

What is the latest report, #1

General?Have our fighters annihilated the

enemy?General, hurry up. Tell me what's

happened. What's the outcome of the

battle?It has failed, Sir. What do you

mean failed?The Astro fighters

launched from Pluto base have been

completely destroyed in course of action,

Sir. That means invasion is imminent.

Yes, Sir. We don't have time to assemble

our ocean fleet now. Our only hope is the

X project. Contact our moon base. Yes,

Sir. Contact Doctor Bennett Moon

base. Yes, Sir.

General, I've heard it's bad news.

Doctor, I need your help. There's

nothing I can do, General. You must. Our

astrofighters were completely destroyed.

I am not sending any more young pilots to

their certain death. Finally, the time

has come to launch our secret X project.

But it's only 90% ready, General. Well,

in other words, it's almost completed.

No, there are many tests to be carried

out. I also do not wish to send young

pilots on a suicide mission.

Sir, we can't succeed without you. We

have to take this chance together. Right,

but you must choose three of your most

promising pilots for X project. I already

know who they are. We'll contact

Starfleet Training School right now. And

thank you. Remember, it will have to be

the best we have, General. Good luck.

Switch through for latest report on enemy

warship. Latest report coming through,

Sir. Unidentified warship, 300 militons

from Pluto #2.

Sure. Send Space Cadets Shyro Hagen, John

Lee and Barry Hercules to Moonbase as

crews.

Pluto Defense Corps is fighting for its

life, and they send the three of us off

to Moonbase. Keep cool, kid. I've got a

feeling we're walking right into the

middle of a laser firework show. I love

it when you talk about my life so

cheaply. What is this X project on

Moonbase?Yeah, Shyro. Come on, tell us.

You must know. Give your pals a break,

can't you?Yeah. Hey, didn't your father

design the whole project?Sorry, but I

don't know anything about it. My father's

been working at the Institute of Mars for

years. We haven't seen her talk to each

other in a long time. The X Project.

Even the name sounds mysterious. Wonder

what it can be. Guess we'll soon know.

Yeah. Look, fellas, there's our new

world. Star Cruiser 17 calling Moon

Base. Starcruiser 17 to

Moonbase. Request permission to land.

Moonbase to Starcruiser 17. Permission

granted.

Standby all passengers for shuttlecraft

B16 for takeoff.

Standby all passengers for shuttlecraft

B16 for takeoff. So

this is Moonbase. Cozy. The casting and

plutonium mines look friendlier. This

place can make your homesick for an

asteroid.

Doctor Ben, the pilots are here.

Gee, what's that?You'll find out soon

enough. Welcome, gentlemen. I'm

Doctor Ben, commander of Moon Base.

You'll be directly under my command here.

So let's get to know each other. Space

Pilot Hagen, Sir. Welcome. Space Pilot

John Lee. Hope you'll like it here. And

I'm Barry Hercules, Doc. Pilot Hercules.

Doctor Ben, if you please.

Take a seat, everyone. Let me

introduce you to some of our crew.

I'm Cypher Droid PPA. Perfectly

programmed Android. Remember that?Yes.

He's been working here for some time. Ask

him about anything. He knows the answer.

PPA. Lamia, come in now. Wow,

she's beautiful. You

can say that again. Oh, it's an unmanly

faint. Let me introduce you to Lamia.

She's my secretary and she's also in

charge of radar on moon base. How do you

do?Welcome to base. Use your

radar on me anytime. Hi. Glad to meet

you. What are you?

That is the God of Lamia. We call it

Kirara. Be careful of your actions. Yeah,

Doctor Ben, anytime you like. We'd

appreciate knowing what X Project's all

about. You'll know its secret soonenough.

Imperial Fleet, hold quantum speed. Our

target is Pluto, base of the Earth

Defense Force. Aurion, take command of

the fleet. At once.

All set. Launch Imperial fighters.

My God, they're coming straight for us.

Call red alert. Battle stations,

everyone.

Laser missiles fire!

Sir, 30 or more Astro fighters, 90

militants and closing. If this base is

taken, the next victim is the Earth. We

must hold out. Give them all we've got.

So here it is, our X b*mber project.

It was planned and designed by Professor

Hagan in order to maintain a peaceful

solar system. It's super fantastic.

We will fulfill that dream of peace in

our solar system through X Project and

the help of fighters like you. Any alien

Starship would be overawed by it. What a

piece of equipment.

Doctor, an urgent call from General Kyle

on Earth requires your immediate

attention. What's

up now?We'll know all too

soon. Sounds ominous. Yeah.

This is Doctor Ben speaking. Doctor,

I have very grave news. Pluto base has

fallen to the enemy. Pluto fallen. Then

Captain Carter, is he?X project is our

only hope. Launch it immediately.

General, it's impossible. You have got to

make it possible. The Earth will be

defenseless without it. We have to know

who and what we're fighting against

before it is too late. We will do

whatever is possible. Doctor, what of

Captain Carter?I doubt if he can still be

alive. I knew it.

If only he hadn't given up his

position at Starfleet Training School to

go to the loneliest spaceport in the

solar system like he was going there to

die. He was our instructor at training

school, Doctor Ben.

Captain Carter.

Now set course for Earth. Hyperspeed.

Cross Earth. Hyperspeed. Hyperspeed.

At start time 00342, the

enemy fleet rose from Pluto's surface

bound for Earth. Starfleet. Red alert.

Pay attention, my young space pilots.

Chyro. Lee, Hercules, get ready.

The time has come. For what?But Doctor,

the X project hasn't been completed yet.

And even if it was, we haven't had a

single simulated flight. Yeah, we're

talking about some complicated piece of

machinery, Doctor. And with no training.

Are you afraid?Is conservatism taught in

the training schools now?It's your own

will that must take defeat and forge it

into victory. If the challenge of the

unknown is beyond your capabilities.

You may remain here. I will take

her up myself.

Excuse me. Fighters, they said.

Fighters, they said. I thought we were

sent fighters.

Right. We'll go for the memory of Captain

Carter. We will. The guy's kind of free

with that. We. John Lee. You want to be a

hero?A hero?Oh, sure.

Doctor, we'll go with you. We'll give it

a turn. Why are you standing there?5

minutes. Start counting down. Yes, Sir.

To your posts. X-b*mber launches in



Enemy fleet passing Saturn. Full hyper

speed. Is X Project ready?

Countdown has started. 4 minutes, 30

seconds. General, what course of action

do we take?Is there nothing we can do?

Stay calm and trust Dr. Ben.



One minute. Counting down. Stand by.

Gyro. Check power. Aye, aye, Sir. The

electrics. Aye, aye, Sir. Open launch

door now.

Launch door is open. Quantum power. Check

systems. Aye, Sir.

Checking laser system, Sir. Quantum power

set. All systems normal. Laser

systems normal, Sir. Electric

system clear, Sir. Temperature and

pressure systems normal. Communication

clear. 5 seconds. Stand by for take off.

Turn main engines on. Main engines

on, Sir. 10 takeoff.

We're off, boys.

Commander Aryan, a large battle cruiser

has been launched from Mumbai. Anything

that stands in the way of our Great

Dynasty shall be completely destroyed.

Launch Imperial Fighter Fleet.

There the enemy

second squadron attacking.

Doctor, there's too many. Keep firing.

Evasion maneuver quick.

Shadow on your starboard side. Attack

them.

A new machine. Laser torpedoes go for

direct hit.

All developing an engine room. Right

power decreasing, losing speed.

We've lost contact, Sir. No sign of life.

All is lost.

X-b*mber, the last hope of the Earth,

lies crippled without power at the mercy

of the enemy. Can the Earth avoid

total annihilation?What can they do?

Lamia is worried about the fate of the

crew of X b*mber and hurries to help

them, but comes under devastating attack

from the fighters sent by the Imperial

Battle Cruiser. Will she reach X b*mber?

What will happen to Lamia and her friends?

Don't miss the next episode of Starfleet.

control
