01x04 - Birdman Versus Cumulus, the Storm King / The Galaxy Trio and the Sleeping Planet / Serpents of the Deep

[bunniefuu]

I can't understand it.

It was a clear, sunny day.

Now all of a sudden,
a lightning storm.

Look! The lightning has cut off
all electrical power in the city.

I've done it.

I, cumulus master meteorologist,

have gained control over the
very elements themselves.

Now I'll complete the job on
Central City with my fog machine.

Here's late news from
nearby Central City.

An electrical storm has cut all
power in that great metropolis,

and a heavy fog has
blanketed the city.

Yet all around the city,
skies are clear.

The government is sending an
investigation team immediately.

Just as I had planned.

Now I'll contact the heads of government
and tell them my demands.

But first, to strap on my
portable weather control.

Now to test it.

Lightning bolts on!

All is in readiness.

Next, I'll contact the authorities.

How dare you blackmail
the government?

I personally don't believe you
have the powers you claim.

Seize him, guards!

Enough! We believe your powers!

Sun rays on!

There is your proof.

Now you have 24 hours in which
to turn over all authority to me,

or I'll do the same to
the entire country.

I await your answers, gentlemen.
And no tricks!

It's Falcon 7, Avenger.

What is it, Chief?

You have 24 hours in which to
stop Cumulus, the Storm King,

or he will paralyze the entire nation.

I'm on my way!

Birdman!

There it is, Avenger. Central City.

And that's where the
trouble is coming from.

Those fools!

He can dish it out.

Let's see if he can take it.

I see my normal lightning bolts
cannot stop you, Birdman.

Perhaps this will.

The fog is so thick,
I can't see him, Avenger.

I'll have to use a
radiant solar burst.

He took off, but he can't be far.

Follow me, Avenger.

My moment of supreme
power is only hours away.

Birdman must not stand in my way.

This time I shall make sure
he is powerless against me.

It is up to full power.

The clouds are so thick,

Birdman will be weakened
without the rays of the sun.

I feel my strength draining.
I need sunlight.

Feel so weak.

You are in my power, Birdman.

Escape, Avenger. Escape.

I have no need of your eagle, Birdman.

Here, in this darkened cell,

you shall remain until the
country is in my power.

Farewell, Birdman!

Birdman to Avenger.

Birdman to Avenger.

Operation Rescue.

The keys, Avenger.
Quickly, the keys to the cell.

Good work, Avenger.

I must get above the clouds
and recharge my powers.

No time to spare.

My powers are restored.

Now to stop Cumulus.

Birdman!

And so, gentlemen, you have no choice.

I have proven my powers by
subduing the mighty Birdman.

You will hand over
all authority to me.

We would die before handing
the country over to you.

Silence! You have no choice.

There's one choice.

You and I battle it to
the end, Cumulus.

I'll cool down those solar blasts of
yours, Birdman, once and for all.

There, you see?

Birdman is no match for
the powers of Cumulus.

I've played with you
long enough, Cumulus.

It's time I took away your toys.

Take him away, men.

I have a little unfinished
business over at Central City.

Birdman!

Time to clear up the fog
in Central City, Avenger.

I predict clear and sunny
days for Central City.

Birdman!

Planet K6 checking in to
Intergalactic Headquarters.

All clear, over.

We read your signal, Planet K6.

Over and out.

Planet K7, come in, please.

Come in, Planet K7.

This is Intergalactic
Headquarters roll call.

Do you hear me?

Planet K7 has failed to report.

There is no radio contact at all.

We'd better contact the Galaxy
Trio and have them check it out.

Repeat.

Planet K7 failed to
check in on roll call.

Galaxy Trio, investigate and report.

We're on our way.
Over and out.

Right on course for Planet K7.

Full power ahead.

There's K7.

We better lock Condor One into position
and go down and investigate.

Lason cube displacement set.

Let's go down.

This is the weirdest
thing I've ever seen.

All the subjects on this planet
are in some kind of trance.

They're all alive and breathing,
but they can't move.

I think we'd better investigate.

I can hear motors.

They're coming from over there.

On the double.
Let's go.

Hey, wait for me.

There's our answer.

Someone, something is looting
this planet of all its treasures.

They must have a way to put
the subjects into a deep sleep

while they pick out every
treasure on the planet.

Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's go.

That gas vapor has put
my friends into a trance.

I better get them back to
Condor One and revive them.

What happened?

Suddenly, I fell asleep.

The same with me.

Put these on.

When we go back this time,
it will keep you from going under.

Let's go!

Well, what do we do now?

Let's follow this one.

I've got a better idea.

Let's get in it.

Let me burn a hole in the back
of this and then we'll get inside.

How are we going to find out way now?

Simple. We'll just follow
the other machines.

Our cargo is almost complete.

Within a few weeks, we will have
drained this planet of all its wealth.

And thus, we shall become the
most powerful space pirates

in all the universe.

Okay, let's bust out of here
and see who's behind this.

No sooner said than done.

Uh-oh. Looks as if we
triggered an alarm.

Someone's on board.

Quickly, find out where
they are and destroy them.

At once, Kragg.

Looks like we've got
company. Let's go.

That's no way to treat a guest.

Looks like I'll have to put
you in the dark for a while.

This vapor, I can't see.

I'll take that g*n, mister.

You stay up there till I
tell you to come down.

They got by my men.

I must not let them get me.

No time to warm up the rockets.

Must take off right now.

Don't push that button.

You'd better tell us

how to release the people of
this planet from that sleep.

The anti-sleep gas is in
the back of the rocket.

Let me down.

Not till we're sure
you're telling the truth.

He was telling the truth.

We'll have to spray the entire planet
with this stuff from Condor One and...

Wait. What's that?

He must have somehow released
himself in a small escape rocket.

Our first job is to wake up
the people in this planet.

The antidote gas has been released
and the subjects are awakening.

That about does it.

They're back to normal again.

We just received a radio report
from security headquarters on K7.

Our job is ended here.

But somewhere out
there is that pirate Kragg.

I have a feeling we'll run
into him again someday.

Birdman!

The bathyscape is equipped
with the most modern devices.

It should be no problem bringing up
the gold buried at the bed of the ocean.

And it's gold that is badly
needed by our treasury.

The bathyscape that disappeared

had very vital data for extracting
gold from the ocean bed.

Gold? In the ocean?

Right, Birdman.

Gold that is vitally
needed by our country.

You have to get it back.

I'll check it out right away.

Birdman!

The area we're looking
for is just ahead.

Let's go, Avenger!

It's Birdman!

They sent him to get their
precious bathyscape back.

I was hoping they'd send him.

Down here, we'll meet on my terms.

Wait until he meets my sea monsters.

After him, my pets!

Oh-h*! A couple of visitors!

Up, Avenger!

I've been too long from the sun,
and my solar beams have lost power.

Getting weak.

Losing my strength.

They have him.

Birdman is my prisoner.

Dr. Shark at your service,

and the famous Birdman
is my helpless prisoner.

Then you're the one who
stole the bathyscape.

Of course.

The plans and equipment
in it are just what I need

to extract the gold from the ocean.

You won't get away with it, Dr. Shark.

Of course I will.

Nothing to stop me.

Without your precious sun,
you're like a weak kitten.

And speaking of the sun's energy,
I have conquered it, too.

That antenna reaches to the surface

and reflects the sun's
energy into this machine.

When I feel the need of sun,
I simply turn it on.

Enough talk.

I must prepare my super sub
for the trip we're going to take.

No use.

Not enough strength anymore
to break these bonds.

If I could reach that sun machine.

Now, if I can just get a charge of
the sun's energy in this machine.

That did it.

It gave me just enough
of a charge to break free.

He's gone.

My sea monsters will stop him.

The sea monsters.

Need your help, Avenger.

My body needs the sun's rays.

Good boy, Avenger.

I can feel the sun's energy pouring
new strength into my body.

That does it.

Now I'm ready to pay
Dr. Shark another visit.

Birdman!

That fool Birdman is coming back.

This time I'll see to it that my
sea monsters finish him off.

When they hit my solar shield,

the combination of
water and electricity

will give them...

...quite a shock.

The depth stabilizer.

I can force this thing to float
to the surface by breaking it.

The sub is rising to the surface.

Can't hold it.

It's going up.

Avenger! Good boy!

Stand by for some surprises.

There it is.

I can handle it now.

So, you think you have me,
do you, Birdman?

My radar-controlled homing bombs

will blow him and his feathered
friend out to the sky.

Watch it, Avenger.

Shell's coming this way.

These solar beams better stop them.

Down, Avenger.

It's the final round for Dr. Shark.

Come on, Birdman.

I have a special reception
waiting for you.

Wait, Avenger.

That's Dr. Shark leaving the sub.

And in a big hurry.

Don't land on that sub.

He almost succeeded in
getting us, but not quite.

Dr. Shark managed to escape.

But I feel sure the day will
come when we meet again.

And then look out for...

Birdman!
