Castle in the Sky Page #3

But the Levistone by itself is useless!

If Sheeta doesn't hold the stone, it won't work!

Auntie, won't you take me with you?

I want to save Sheeta.

You won't be pampered.

If you go, you'll have to take care of yourself.

I will. If I have the strength,

I'll protect her.

The treasure of Laputa is worth it!

Please...

Oh, you're making her cry.

Shut up!

We don't know if the girl

will listen to us, do we?

We won't have a second chance.

Understood.

You'll follow orders?

Don't take more than 40 seconds to pack.

Take care, everyone.

Fasten yourself with this belt.

The rest of you, wait on the ship.

What an excellent ship!

Muska, has the girl talked?

I need a little more time.

There'll be plenty of time in the air.

We leave at dawn with the girl.

Hurry up! It'll soon be light!

That's too bad.

So, Sheeta, I'll tell you something good.

A spell for times of trouble.

A spell?

That's right. Very old, secret words.

Lete Latobarita Ulse Aliaros Baru Netoreel

It's to save us.

It is a wish, 'Light, be reborn'.

Lete Latobarita Ulse Aliaros Baru Netoreel

Excellent!

It was in an old manuscript...

this is a holy light...

Holy light?

What kind of incantation was it?

Tell me the words.

It's moving!

The robot... the robot's alive. Hello?!

Help! It's crazy!

It's moving. Put out the fire.

It's the robot!

The robot?!

Where does it think it's going?

Amazing!

I see!

It's that light! The seal on the robot

was broken by the holy light.

It has opened the way to Laputa! Come here!

It can fly?!

It's nuts!

It's piercing the sky.

Laputa is in the same

direction as that light.

Not ready yet? Hurry up!

Blasting powder? You idiot;

do you want to blow up this fort?

Hello? Hello? Hey, what's wrong?!

Okay.

It's connected.

This is Captain Muska.

Communication lines are down because of the robot.

Take emergency action.

I am in temporary command.

The robot is trying to get

to the girl on the East tower.

Kill it the moment it shows itself.

Leave fuses off the shells. Don't hurt the girl.

Hurry! Hurry!

Fire!

Forward!

It's flattened.

Alright!

Get the girl!

Is she dead?

Hey...get up.

She's just fainted.

Stand up!

It moved!

What's going on? Looks like a war.

Let's go, Auntie!

Call me Captain!

Charles, fly a little lower.

Stop! Stop, already! Please!

Mama, the Goliath is moving!

If they go, we'll end up

flying right into their guns.

There she is...it's Sheeta.

What?

Where?

Straight ahead!

She's on the top of the small tower!

That's a brave girl! Cover us!

Sheeta, come on!

Auntie, a little closer!

Go up!

This is our last chance.

Grab her as we pass!

Go!

Get out of the way! Damn!

What is the Goliath doing?

A smoke screen?

Muska, what happened to the robot?

The robot was destroyed.

The girl has escaped.

What?

Look sharp...put out the fires!

Form search parties!

It hasn't lost its holy light.

It's still showing the direction of Laputa.

Inform the General tt we will

depart for Laputa as planned.

Nice, isn't she.

Hard to believe she'll grow

up to be just like Mama.

Here's your valley.

Glad to be rid of such a useless pair.

Auntie, please let us ride on your ship.

Call me Captain! You don't have the stone.

Why should I let you on board?

We'll repay you.

I want to see Laputa with my own eyes.

What if there isn't any treasure?

You're not greedy enough to

ride a pirate ship, anyway.

Mama, can she come along?

If there's any funny business,

I'll throw you into the sea!

Hurray! A live-in cook.

A dishwasher!

A potato peeler!

Can you make pudding?

I like mincemeat pie!

And me...well, now, let me see...

I'll eat anything!

Behave yourselves!

Really! Just like children.

Careful!

It's canvas! This ship is made of canvas!

Don't damage it.

Don't just stand there! It's crowded here.

Hurry up...this way!

I hate slackers!

You...this way.

He's fine. Come on!

You aren't here to play!

What an amazing engine.

Where'd he go? Uncle! Uncle!

Uncle...here's the asstant you wanted.

NOT SO LOUD!! I ain't deaf.

He's worse than Mama. Be careful.

It's so cramped, my hand won't go in.

It's this packing, isn't it.

What's your name?

The Levistone pointed due east, did it?

From the tower, I could see the sun rise.

Now is the mowing season.

So the sunrise is a lite south of true east.

The sun rose left of the hills.

The Levistone light crossed

the left tip of the sun's edge.

Good answer. How are things up there?

I'm getting nothing.

So, they're jamming the radio to

hide their whereabouts, are they?!

Mama, the Goliath's moving pretty fast!

What'll we do?

We'll be on their windward side.

If we use the trade winds...

20,000 feet and ridehe jet stream...

With wind speed 10...

We'll do it somehow

Everybody, listen up!

We are setting course for Laputa.

Our ship will now commence

top-speed pursuit!

Using the wind, we should be able

to make contact tomorrow!

And I'll give 10 gold pieces

to the first to spot her!

10 gold pieces!

Laputa is some sort of flying island.

There's probably enough

treasure for everybody.

So! Everybody...GET TO WORK!

Now!

Course 98. Velocity 40!

There's nothing your size.

Put this on.

Here's your post.

Five meals a day. Conserve water.

You morons! Get back to work!

Sorry, dinner isn't ready yet.

It's my first airship kitchen.

Did you want something?

I have some spare time,

so I thought I'd be of some help.

Well, thank you. Would you do that washing?

No problem.

Hey, you said your back hurt.

I had some spare time and thought I'd help.

Out of the way.

Don't push.

Hey, can I be of some help?

So, you were scared too?

And they have the Goliath to help them...

Sounds hopeless.

It's the island of Laputa,

so it's no wonder.

They're certainly good kids, those two.

What do you want me to say,

you stupid old man?

Nothing. But you should

show me more respect.

What?!

That's checkmate, isn't it?

Umm...if anyone wants seconds...

Seconds!

Hey! Get up.

It's your watch. Take this, it's cold out.

The lookout?

Yeah.

It's cold! You're up top.

I'm second shift.

Thanks.

That was scary!

It's beautiful.

Get in.

Can't sleep?

It's warm.

Sheeta, you look behind.

I'm scared beyond words.

The truth is,

I don't want to go to Laputa at all.

I hope we don't find the Goliath.

There are just too many

strange and powerful...well...

You mean like what happened with the robot?

That was sad, wasn't it.

And it happened because of a spell

taught to me by my grandmother.

I learned many other spells, too.

To find things, and to cure illness and

words I must absolutely never use...

Words you must never use?

Spells of destruction,

good spells to bestow power...

She said I must also know the

bad words but never use them.

After I learned them,

I was too afraid to sleep.

And it all had to do with the stone.

It was always hidden in the fireplace,

and except at weddings, never used...

Mother, and Grandmother, and Grandmother's Grandmother...
