Castle in the Sky Page #5

Find the entrance!

Captain, what in the world is this place?

The nerve center of Laputa.

The castle and treasure above are just rubbish.

The science of Laputa is completely stored in here.

You will wait here.

Captain!

Beyond here, none but the royal family may enter.

It's a sanctuary.

What's this?

Tree roots, this deep?

One phrase,

and it will all be reduced to ashes.

Come on...this way.

Here it is!

Here, too?

Found it!

Look at this huge Levistone!

This is the source of Laputa's power.

Excellent. For 700 years it has been

waiting for the return of the king.

700 years?

Your clan forgot, didn't it?

It's the black stone!

Just like in the legend!

I can read it! I can read it!

Who in the world are you?

I also have an old, secret name, Lucita.

My name is Romuskaalo Ul Laputa.

Your clan and mine were

originally one royal family.

But when we returned to the earth,

it divided into two.

Not a crack.

It's not ordinary stone.

Use all the bombs we've got!

Your Excellency,

you cannot get in like that.

Muska, where are you?

Well...what are you waiting for?

Do come inside, your Excellency.

Yes. Follow me!

Follow His Excellency!

Wh...what is this place? Muska...come out!

Be silent.

What kind of trick is this?

Be quiet. You are before the King of Laputa.

Are you mad?

Today, we celebrate the rebirth of a monarchy.

The rebirth of a global empire under one king.

Let me show you gentlemen

the power of Laputa.

It is the heavenly fire that destroyed Sodom

and Gomorrah in the Old Testament,

and the arrows of heaven which

took Ramayana, Indora, and Atlantis.

The whole world will bow to Laputa again!

Excellent, Muska...you're a hero.

Now here is your reward.

The look on your face!

Run, everybody!

Die!

Those fools!

It's full of them...

Everybody...RUN!

Check the flapters!

Mama, let's fly!

Hurry, let's get away!

Be quiet. Don't raise your voices.

Why are those two waiting behind?

They'll end up falling.

I hope you don't anger me again...

...because it looks like we'll be

spending some time together.

I do hope they're not trying to get away.

They really intend to fight me.

Robots.

Excellent! Don't you think

that this is a great show?

Look! The people - they look like garbage.

What are you doing?

Give it back. Be a good girl. Come on.

Please...open up!

Where do you think you're going?

Open up!

Sheeta! I'm coming through!

Get down!

Hurry, take this! Muska's here!

Throw it in the ocean.

That stone you have is important.

I'll trade the girl's life for it.

Get up! The game is over.

The old throne room isn't very splendid, is it?

Come here!

You say this is the throne room?

This is our grave.

Our country was destroyed,

and a king like you survived. How tragic!

I won't give you the stone.

You can't leave here without killing me.

Why was Laputa destroyed?

I know perfectly well.

There's a song in the valley of Gondoa.

Let our souls fall to the earth;

Live as one with the winds.

Pass the winter along with the seeds,

and sing together with birds for spring.

No matter how many weapons you have,

or how many poor robots you use,

you cannot live, parted from the earth.

Laputa will not be destroyed.

However many times, it will be reborn.

The power of Laputa is the

dream of the human race.

Your ears will be next.

On your knees! Beg for your life!

Get the stone back from the brat!

Wait!

I hid the stone.

If you shoot her, I won't return it.

Pazu...stay away; it's no use.

He's going to kill us, no matter what.

Brat...the girl's life for the stone.

Tell me where it is.

Or, are you just going to scare

me with that cannon?

I want to talk with Sheeta - alone.

It's no use...throw the stone away and run!

I'll give you three minutes.

Sheeta...calm down. Listen closely.

Tell me those words. I'll say them, too.

The stone is in my left hand.

I've freed Auntie and the others.

Time's up! Let's hear your answer.

Ba lusu!

My eyes...my eyes!

My eyes!

Mama, it's collapsing!

It can't be helped...launch!

Hurry!

Mama, look! The bottom is falling off!

Sheeta was a good girl.

She used the words of destruction...

Those children protected Laputa from those idiots.

The collapse has stopped!

It's the Levistone! What luck!

It's going up.

The tree! It may have them! Follow it!

The tree roots saved us.

We'll break the wire.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

We're supposed to be going up!

We can't like this!

It's Sheeta!

They're alive.

It's the apprentice.

Auntie!

Safe and alive, aren't you?

Everyone's okay!

Everyone's okay except for my poor,

tattered ship.

Don't be so sentimental.

You can build another ship.

Poor thing...

what a cruel way to get a haircut...

Auntie...ouch!

Oh, sorry.

Isn't it terrible?

Worrying so, while full of these!

At any rate, we worried in our spare time...

# The reason the horizon shines #
