Space Pirate Captain Harlock Page #5

---

Arcadia is taking us to Earth...

We're heading to the Node of Time again!

Yulian,

get us into Gaia's communication network.

Find a hyperspace link for an interspace simulcast.

We are going to destroy

those hologram projectors and expose their lies.

Once people know the truth,

the Council will lose their power over them.

Logan.

Tell them what you found on Earth, and set them free!

They've gone IN-Skip to jump to the perimeter.

They won't get any closer.

All ships,

prepare for battle!

Damn it! There are too many of them!

Destroy the holograph projectors.

Ignore the rest.

Yulian, are you in yet?

Why does everyone think this kinda thing is so easy?

They're targeting the holograph projectors!

Stop them! Intensify fire!

Port side centerplate, direct hit!

Yulian!

Yes, yes!

We're in!

We have invaded the Gaia Intergalactic network!

Logan!

They're coming!

This is the Arcadia.

To every man, woman and child...

who wishes to some day return to the home planet...

We have all been deceived. What you see here is

what the Gaia Communion has held hostage from us:

the true face of Mother Earth.

Long ago, a great war broke out,

and transformed a once beautiful planet into this.

This blasphemy must be stopped!

But...

All is not lost!

Mother Earth is alive.

The recovery is gradual, but life has taken root.

A fleeting spark of life,

but more than that.

For each spark is a link, in an eternal cycle.

Let's stop relying on illusions and face the truth.

Freedom always awaits us there.

The human race is not alone in this universe.

Even if we cease to exist one day,

another form of life will carry on.

So let us beign the every last second of our lives count...

For life resides within all things,

for all eternity.

What foolishness...

They seek to undermine what little order we have.

The Arcadia must be stopped, before it's too late.

You know what must be done.

Prepare the Jovian Accelerator.

The Jovian Accelerator...

The Jovian Accelerator?

The protoype ultimate weapon

scrapped after the Homecoming War...

The Arcadia is in Earth's orbit.

Earth will also be targeted!

We must depict a beautiful, blue Earth as the Holy Land.

We have no use for any other truths.

Please, Your Excellency!

Pull back your fleet, Ezra!

The Gaia fleet appears to be backing off.

But why?

You think that broadcast killed their will to fight?

Wait, one ship is approaching us fast!

The Oceanus!

Ezra...

All hands, brace for impact!

They're just pushing us! Why?

They're firing anchors!

They're boarding us!

Those copycats!

That's what WE do!

Kei, can you walk?

C'mon, no time for R&R! Get to the hangar!

Yulian!

Yulian!

Wanna piece of this?

We're just getting started!

Ezra, where are you?

Get out of my way!

Ring alignment complete. All systems are go.

Rotation veolcity check. Firing mode engaged.

Plasma beam conversion commencing.

Jovian Accelerator at 60% capacity.

Boosting rotation velocity.

Jupiter is distorting...

Upper limit attainable in 180 seconds.

The Oceanus is locked in with the Arcadia.

If we fire now...

Ignore them.

They are expendable.

So you think you're the savior...

...taking away the sins of the world?

Where are you, Ezra?

You failed the one you loved,

so now you're going to save all of humanity?!

Give me some handicaps for this game.

You never learn.

Just like Mother's flowers.

Always dreaming of the impossible.

But the flowers...they bloomed!

It's too late now!

She is dead.

YOU killed Nami!

The beam fired from Jupiter will leave nothing behind.

Not the Arcadia, not the Earth...

You knew about this...

Captain, you must go.

Mimay, I need your help.

"To protect Earth..."

You are the only one who stayed true 'till the end...

How could it misfire?

The weapon is over 100 years old.

That was its first use since the Homecoming War.

What do you expect?

Hurry up and realign the rings!

High velocity plasma recharge in progress.

Reached 95% threshold.

System check complete. Ring alignment in progress.

Gate ring attitude control thrusters engaged.

Engaging core thrusters. Releasing trigger lock mechanism.

Hyperspace gate linked to target quadrant.

Target lock on the Arcadia. Automatic guidance system initiated.

Have a last look at the Earth...

An illusion is all we needed.

It's not as if any of us will live forever.

Harlock...

Are you certain of this?

I'm afraid so, Mimay.

Forgive me.

There's nothing to forgive.

I am not sad.

Death and rebirth...

I know they are part of the eternal cycle of life.

Unleash the dark matter.

Well, this sucks...

What happened?

The Arcadia changed its position,

removing Earth from the line of fire.

The Oceanus...

It was Ezra!

You rammed the Arcadia to redirect the beam away from Earth?

But why?

I wanted to see Nami's flowers.

It's beautiful...

Ezra...

Ezra!

Earth is recovering.

Humans will soon flood this planet again.

Perhaps we should undo the Nodes of Time

before there is another Homecoming War?

I'm out of dark matter.

You may be able to kill me now.

How about it?

If I must.

This world is a gift. From Nami and Ezra.

Perhaps you're right.

But if humankind fails again,

you know what to do with this.

This curse, too, forms an eternal cycle.

As long as mankind exists,

so will the myth of Captain Harlock.

Perhaps for all eternity...

This is the Solar Federation.

This is a warning.

Surrender your vessel immediately.

All survivors, abandon all weapons and exit the ship.

Silence will be interpreted as defiance.

We will not hesitate to open fire!

I gave my life to Harlock.

I live for the Arcadia,

and die with the Arcadia.

Arcadia...

Launch!

The human race is on the decline.

And there's nothing out there.

Nothing's gonna change.

And yet, there is one man...

...who, for whatever reason, will never stop.
