01x02 - Super Powerful Imperial Alliance Fleet

Post by bunniefuu »

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm

Barry Hercules, Doc.

In the year 2,999,

An unidentified alien fleet suddenly

appeared out of the Phalen zone into our

solar system. Pluto base had already been

taken by them, and now the alien fleet is

heading for the Earth. Starfleet,

commanded by Earth Defense Forces, had

sent the X b*mber to engage the enemy.

But X b*mber was not ready for armed

combat. It was forced to make an

emergency landing at Moon Base.

Good. We've destroyed their warships.

There's nothing to stand in our way.

Termites set new cause for the planet

Earth. We will destroy Starfleet Command

base. Wait, Orion, do not

forget what our true purpose is.

We have got to find out where F01 is

hidden first. Our royal master's wish is

that we return with the secret of F01.

The Earth people alone hold the key to

the secret. We will not attack them until

it is ours. Commander, the Earth defenses

are too weak to oppose us. This is a

glorious moment for the Alliance. Total

conquest of their solar system. We will.

Have you no brains?What happens if F01 is

destroyed in your glorious attack on

planet Earth?Oh, I had not thought of

that. A good commander must learn to use

his brain. I am now going to interrogate

our prisoner taken from Pluto base. Wait

for my next order.

This is Starfleet Command calling X

b*mber. Starfleet Command to X b*mber. Do

you copy?X b*mber, do you copy?

No contact. Still no answer, Sir.

Continue calling at intervals. What do we

do if they're all dead, Sir?They are not

dead. Radio. What is happening now at

Pluto Base?Well, Sir,

Ocean Patrol Fleet has arrived safely at

Pluto Base. Reconstruction has already

commenced. But Captain Carter has not yet

been found. Sir. Captain Carter.

Commander Makara, the prisoner is ready.

Can he withstand interrogation for a

short while?Now breathe gently.

You have been saved by us, Captain.

Listen. Well, I have something that I

wish to ask you. I believe you know all

about the secret of F01, your

answer, Commander of the Earth. I know

you possess this information. After all,

as a member of Starfleet High Command,

you must have heard about F01,

Captain. Tell me and I will

return you to planet Earth. I had wanted

this to be a civilized conversation, but

if you do not wish to answer, there is

another way. Set laser memory to

stimulator.

Commander, it is ready. Good. Begin.

Once more, increase the voltage. Your

command.

Increase it further. Your command.

Stupid earth arrogance. Increase it

more. It's dangerous to increase the

voltage further. No matter. Do it.

Your command.

So he managed to resist, but he still

might be of use to us. Treat him

so that he does not die.

X b*mber, do you copy?This is Moon Base.

X b*mber, do you copy?This is Moon

Base calling X b*mber. Please, Doctor

Ben, answer me. Will someone answer me

please?

Guerara, come on, let's go.

This is Moonbase. Lamian, come back.

It's too dangerous. This is Moonbase.

Come back, Lamian.

Lamian, can you hear us?This is Moonbase.

The enemy's ship is watching you. It's

directly above X-b*mber.

It's too dangerous. Come back.

Something approaches. Let us send some

of our Astro fighters down to welcome it.

X-b*mber. This is Lamia.

X-b*mber, please respond.

X-b*mber. Dr. Ben, do you hear

me?

X-b*mber. X-b*mber, answer.

Can you hear me?It's Lamia. Dr.

Ben, Shiro, can you hear me?

Hey, look. There's Lammy's buggy.

Lee, scramble Astro fighters.

Guess we didn't scare them. Lammy is out

there and they're attacking her. I'll

give her some covering fire. You get the

others back on their feet as fast as you

can. Yes, Captain.

Hercules, now's the time to be a hero.

The enemy you're attacking is from all

sides. Are you all right?Yeah, sure.

OK, Hercules. OK, Shyro. Take the other

side.

Lee, open the gate. OK, open the gate.

Doctor. Doctor. Come on, wake up.

How long have we been like this?The

others?Are they all right?OK. No one has

any serious injury. Only. We got a

saver. Save Lamia.

Gee, it is Lamia. You picked a fine time

for a buggy ride. Lamia. Why have you

come here?I couldn't bear waiting at

Moonbase, not knowing if you were alive

or dead. I'm sorry, Doctor. You're

safe now. That's what matters. Please go

and attend to any injuries on the ship.

Come on. This is no time to sleep, you

rusting pilot circuits. We need you, PPA.

And you're supposed to be a perfectly

programmed Android. As a senior officer,

I demand respect. That's better. Your

memory circuit's intact. I've never seen

a robot faint before now. A highly

sophisticated Android is quite capable of

a few human emotions. Shino, the enemy.

Attention fire in the engine room.

VPA fix it. Oh,

it's hot in here. Hope my circuits don't

melt.

Doctor, they keep coming. Our only hope

is to concentrate our attack on the

mothership. I'll take the top turret.

No, wait. Listen to me.

We can't possibly make that distance with

our turret lasers. Is there any other

way, Sir?There is one. All

power to the main shield in a

concentrated laser beam. Sir, we're

pointing in the wrong direction. By using

the descent engine, we'll shift our

position. Gyro, sit next to me.

Hercules, be ready to launch the beam.

Yes, Sir.

Descent engine ready. Aye, Sir. Laser

rockets in place, Sir.

That was a taste of the Alliance power.

Imperial Astrofighters, return to your

base.

Doctor, the engine is ready. Stand by to

fire it now. Slow fire.

She's turning slowly. Target locked.

Power to main shield.

Beam in position. Blast off.

Your beam set, Sir. Firing

now.

Look out. What's that?It's coming for us.

Evasive action.

Retreat. Turn around. Hard to

stab board.

We made it. Direct hit. Nice sh**ting,

Hercules. We've succeeded for now. Shiro,

have we energy for a second blast?Power

from the shields. Back to the main

engines. There's still three ships out

there. Full power restored. Three, two,

one, zero. Full power back to the main

shield. Stand by to blast. Ready to

blast. Firing now.

Retreat! Full time! We must retreat!

So long, boys. Thanks for the target

practice. Chiro, how about finishing him

with one more blast?We must reserve

power. They may turn back on us. That's

right. They'll be back again for more. In

the meantime, we must repair X-b*mber. We

were lucky this time around. As soon as

we're repaired, we'll return to base.

Aurion, you have failed both me and the

Alliance. An Imperial battlecruiser never

retreats. Return at once with your report

of Earth's defence by your

divine guidance.

Thanks to you, Doctor Ben, the

ex-b*mber crew have my sincere gratitude.

We are thankful you've returned safely.

What the boys lacked in experience they

made-up for by their courage. No

casualties. It will take some time to

repair the damage to X b*mber. I

understand. At least it's given the ocean

patrol fleets time to gather at Pluto

base. I anticipate a second attack at any

moment. We'll try and buy you some time

in order that you can get your ship

prepared. General, we'll do our best to

be ready for the next onslaught.

OK, you man. Right. Get busy. Now, why

are you so slow?It's quite easy. I

repeat, all you have to do is take X to

Y, straight through 7 and 8, fuse to P,

then back to Y, then cross with yellow,

red and blue, and then join the four

groups to fuse. Hurry, hurry, hurry. I

repeat, take X to Y. Cool it, Android.

I'm a fighter pilot, not an electronics

repairman. Hey, Shiro, if you'd learned

to sh**t straight, then perhaps we

wouldn't have got ourselves landed into a

mess like this. What does that mean?Hey,

guys, knock it off. Let's save this talk

for the scramble room. The X-b*mber is a

piece of it's junk if it can't take off.

Enough. This negative discourse is

without purpose. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Back to work. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Now,

as I was saying, hey, your circuits can

be shut down while we continue with our

work. Hercules, enough of that kind of

talk. Doctor Ben, this

argumentative Android seems to think that

we're. Trained as service mechanics, EPA

appreciates the necessity of speed. They

will soon make their second attack. If we

aren't ready to take off by that time,

what do you think will happen to Earth?

Sorry, Sir.

Orion, we will attack Starfleet Command

before their battlecruiser can be

repaired. Their forces are mustered at

their Pluto base now. Should we not

attack them?No, it suits our purpose very

well. Let them rot there. It's time to

begin our FG operation. By your divine

guidance, begin the FG

operation. At your command, Sir, launch

FG operation.

General, a large alien fleet has appeared

around Pluto going into attack.

So here they come at last. This time

we're ready. General, as we thought, the

alien fleet has returned to Pluto in full

force. Very well, number one. Send our

ocean patrol out against them. We must

gain time for X b*mber to be repaired.

There they are, boys, 150 militants dead

ahead. Let's give them a welcome, shallwe?

Lasers fire.

What the heck's happening?Those blasts

should have blown them to pieces!

Ready?This time, boys!

Darn it! Keep on firing! Now!

This is insane. Flight commander. Our

lasers are firing right through the

enemy. What are they?A mirage.

Holography. All fighters turn back. Do

not follow. Return to base.

The fools. No brains. Who would have

believed they'd be so easily tripped?

Look, Sir. On the radar screen. Upper

quadrant. Quick. My goodness, it's

another fleet. Looks like a big one. Open

the video panel. Look at the size of it.

I've never seen anything like it. Well,

what's the data?Judging from its size, it

must be the alien ship that first

attacked Pluto base. Of course, 1000

militons from Earth approaching

hyperspeed.

What is our ocean fleet doing out there?

General. The alien attack at Pluto base

was imaginary. Some kind of a hologram,

General. Dozens of ethereal ships that

were never really there. Of course.

Diversionary operation. What's the

present state of X-b*mber?

Lamia, this is Shyro in the engine room.

We're ready. Stand by to run tests. Check

power system now.

It's negative. The energy ration's too

low. We haven't the power to launchagain.

Doctor Ben, our ocean patrol has

failed in this operation. The enemy has

already come around Mars. Has the repair

of X-b*mber been completed?We need at

least 30 hours to correct damage. Circuit

system and main laser bank out of

action. Sorry, we have little time.

If there's anything you can do, Doctor,

we'll do our best, General.

We'll very soon cross the orbit of the

moon. The battlecruiser at their moon

base remains immobilized. It is no longer

a threat to us. There's nothing to stop

us reaching the Earth. Their forces are

open to deceit. A planet of trust. We'll

begin the conquest with StarfleetCommand.

Million craft approaching at hyperspeed.



firepower unknown. Precaution number

three order. m*ssile base, stand ready to

launch. Astrofighters, stand by for

launching. Distance 500 militons and

closing.

Well, who are you?I am Commander

Makara of the task force for the Imperial

Alliance, which dominates all of the

Galaxy except this your solar system. We

are not w*r emissaries, but we enter your

solar system with a purpose to be

fulfilled at all costs. What is your

purpose?It is not the destruction of your

planet, as you may at first have thought.

However, all resistance from you will be

crushed. You have witnessed what this

battle cruiser can do. Do not force me to

repeat what happened to your Pluto base.

Give to us what we have come for and we

will immediately leave your solar system

in peace. You understand?Tell us what

exactly you want.

F01. That is all we require from you.

F01 you heard.

Do not speak of it as though it does not

exist. We know very well that it does.

Remember, your salvation is at stake. I

have no idea what it is that you are

talking about. Tell us, what is

this F01?You are wearing my patience

thin, gentlemen. Just remember you are in

no position to bargain with me. You shall

not dictate to me. You are arrogant and

pathetic. The Imperial Forces give you

one of your Earth hours to comply with my

request. After that, I'll have no

hesitation in destroying Starfleet

Command.

What is F-01?If Earth

Defense Forces don't know, they must find

out what it is and protect it. But with

the seconds ticking away, time is running

out for Starfleet Command.

Earth Defense Forces are at the mercy of

the Imperial Alliance, who threaten the

destruction of mankind if they don't hand

over the F-01. Impulsively, Lamia

tells the enemy that she may be the F-01.

What will Commander Makara do?Don't miss

the next episode of Starfleet.
