Space Pirate Captain Harlock Page #4

---

This will be my atonement...

No, this can't be right!

If you knew it would end like this...

why save us and bring us back here?

Why the hope?

Ks.!

Fire the dimensional oscillators.

That's an order.

Harlock...

You will never be free...

until you accept what you have done.

Mimay...

Wh-What the...

We're moving away from Earth!

That's impossible! Nobody's at the helm!

Old friend, you want to betray me too?

The tractor field holding the Oceanus is shutting down!

Engine room! The prisoners are rioting!

What's wrong?! Answer me!

The bulkheads won't close!

Where did they get all these weapons?

Don't let them onto the bridge!

You!

Kei, you said it yourself.

If we're going to die anyway, we've got to try something.

We are more alike than I thought.

Our reliance on taking the easy way out,

but I'm through with all that.

So this is the answer you found.

I suppose it's futile since your flesh is immortal.

I have known death. There's a part of me that dies every day.

Interstellar Fugitive S-00999, Captain Harlock:

I hereby place you under arrest for

violation of Clause 62 of the Solar Federation Regulations.

This is the Gaia Information Administration.

The following declaration

from the Hall of the Imperial Father concerns all devotees.

Notorious disturber of the peace and century-long evader of capture,

Space Pirate Harlock, was taken into custody,

along with 40 subordinates, by the honorable Gaia Legion.

You stay here to keep an eye on things.

Ezra, I'd like to see Nami.

That is my wife you're talking about.

Why did you betray me'?

You don't have to answer.

I've known for a long time that you were always partial to Logan.

You still don't know me at all...

How I wanted to repay your kindness.

...and free you from your own hatred!

Don't insult me!

Look at yourself!

Who do you think did this to you?

Who turned you into this?

Why him, of all people?

I finally see...

Logan's not the one who torments you.

It's me.

You deserve the truth.

I've always loved Logan.

I've heard enough!

I never loved you, not even...

Stop it! Shut up!

...not even for a moment.

Shut up!

I lied.

I'm sorry, dear Ezra.

Nami...

I love this place...

And...

...you know that I love you.

You fool!

You fool!

You fool!

Fool!

She left this for you.

She breached the military network to contact you.

I'm told that caused her life-support to malfunction.

I'm sorry.

You lie!

Ezra, how could you...

Look, Logan.

These flowers only bloomed on Earth before.

But now, see how strong and beautiful

your mother's blossoms have grown here.

I nagged Ezra to build this greenhouse for me.

I wanted you to see the flowers for yourself.

There was a time when I was so angry with you.

You took on the weight of the world;

blamed yourself for everything.

If I could move,

I wanted to yell at you and shake some sense into you.

It was your brother

who brought peace back into my world with his kindness.

He was always there beside me.

That is why I chose him.

So please, don't blame yourself any more.

I can hardly wait for your return,

perhaps with someone special of your own.

We're family. Remember that.

You're weakening, just as we anticipated.

Your execution takes place at noon today.

You could have freed yourself from your curse,

by dismantling the dark matter engine,

the source of your immortality.

Why didn't you just die alone?

Did you really believe you could start everything over?

Some illusions...

...you just can't give up.

Everybody has one...

...if you are a human.

Congratulations. You'll finally be free from it.

The time is now solar noon.

In a moment,

the infamous Space Pirate Captain Harlock and his associates

will be sentenced to death by the mercy of Gaia.

View the proceedings on the Gaia Interstellar Network.

And we now see His Majesty,

the Imperial Father, taking his throne.

Hail the Gaia Communion!

Peace and order!

Peace and order!

Our Home, our Mother...

Blessed Earth.

May your children,

wherever in all the cosmos they may be,

gaze upon your eternal brilliance,

until their dying breath.

Even if it's all an illusion?

Go to hell, you hypocritical bastards!

You're the one who's a hypocrite.

I'm having a hard time believin' you didn't know about this.

Knock it off, losers!

What did you call me?

We all came aboard this ship because we had nowhere to go.

You must be happy now.

What do you mean?

Now you can die with your sweetheart captain.

Logan was right.

We are all bottom feeders!

We have no right to complain, you or me.

We're nothing but maggots feeding off of Harlock's despair.

10 minutes until the execution.

All personnel, evacuate the premises.

Repeat! Evacuate the premises!

Hurry up soldier, we don't have much time.

What's With him?

Forming degenerative force-field.

Activating singularity sustainment shield.

Osmotic pressure of gravitons,

quantum hypercomplexity: maintained.

Boosting spatial degeneration to specifications.

Degenerative force-field and spatial degeneration close to critical.

Enactment in T-minus 10 seconds.

Code Red! Explosion in the Arcadia cage!!

Dark matter energy leak!

Let's go!

What's your game now?

No, I was just wrong.

Too late for that.

Not just me.

The Gaia Communion and Harlock...

We were all wrong.

I found out, on Earth.

There's something I need to show you, all of you.

And you expect us to trust you?

There's no time to talk.

The guards will be back soon.

All hands on deck!

How can we possibly trust the bastard?

We don't exactly have a choice, do we?

Son of a...

Ship cameras, now!

What's going on up there?

A mutiny.

The execution has been sabotaged.

We've cancelled the broadcast!

Take care of this immediately!

Sir!

All units, equip full armor hardsuits.

Shoot on sight! Kill them all!

Get the hell out!

You're trespassing!

We must set sail now. Let's go!

Captain, it's time to fight back!

This ship will not move without you at the helm! C'mon!

Get up! Captain!

You may have destroyed our home,

but you also gave us a new one!

This ship!

This is the only home we have left!

Harlock...

Look at this.

I found it, blooming on Earth.

Hey, what's going...

Earth is trying to revive itself.

It's not over yet.

It may just be the new beginning that you wanted.

Even if we all perish, this flower,

the world that gave us life,

will continue its fight to be reborn.

Even the human race might...

Each spark is a link...

in the eternal cycle.

This is...my freedom!

Old friend...

It's no good, the dark matter's out of control.

We can't keep it suppressed!

IN-Skip?

Where are they going?

Arcadia's course is set for the Sanctified Zone.

Earth?

Assemble every fleet in the system.

Earth will not be touched by the likes of Arcadia!

What's the status of the Oceanus?

Not fully repaired, sir.

We'll have to make do. Let's go.

Amazing...

The ship has a mind of its own...
