Original subtitles

Mankind's constructions have turned against them.

The MME war machines are exterminating their creators.

But the humans located the world's last nuclear missiles.

They planned a massive nuclear strike on the MME citadel.

A nuclear attack?

Analysis confirms it.

Those pathetic humans plan to attack with obsolete missiles.

I won't let anything stop us!

But the plan had a fatal flaw.

The missiles would destroy the Earth's fragile ecology.

As Sandy and her team headed for their silo,

they met a group who called themselves the Geo Chris.

The Geo Chris had something of their own to protect.

And Sally was determined to prevent the missile launch.

But…

In a forgotten bomb shelter, Sandy saw the Tree of Revival.

To the Geo Chris, it symbolized Earth's future recovery.

Sandy finally remembered what she was really fighting for.

Mankind realized the destruction they were about to unleash.

Sandy, hold on.

I promise you,

I'll bring back help.

Now, a new battle will begin. And my battle will also start.

This is Point 002. We can't see anything in this sandstorm.

We're within 20 kilometers of the MME radar station.

Earth Chapter 2

Why did you hand the decision over to the national assembly?

You're the Secretary-General! You control all the Mars forces!

We have to save our people left on Earth!

I know, Major. I know.

But the Mars forces are committed to defending Mars.

I can't justify sending them on a suicide mission to Earth.

The safety of everyone on Mars has to come first.

I accept your decision.

Commence the mission immediately.

Are you going to just abandon Earth?

Please understand, Lamidia, I have no other choice.

Everything depends on this mission.

Father!

The Hecatoncheir has reached orbit.

Plasma ignition system is on-line.

Main reactor pressure stabilized.

Good.

Activate plasma cannon. Set power to full strength.

Target verified. Locked in and tracking orbit.

Targeting system slaved to inertial navigation.

Order the observation ship to stand off.

Target locked on.

Line of fire is clear.

Plasma ignition now entering final stage.

It's time, MME! Humanity is finally ready for you!

Target has closed to a range of 85.

Firing systems are green. Pre-sequence complete.

Fire!

Target eliminated.

Magnificent!

Major McKenzie!

How did it go?

Will they send reinforcements to Earth?

There's a mission to Earth, but it's not reinforcements.

They're sending the Hecatoncheir to destroy everything.

The Hecatoncheir?

Yes. It's built from the alien plans we found on the moon.

It's a spaceship built around an enormous plasma cannon.

But what's it for?

The MME citadel is in the center of Australia.

The strong magnetic storms around it make a ground attack impossible.

The Mars U.N. Has a plan to attack the citadel from space.

Do you think they can do it?

The Hecatoncheir might destroy the MME citadel, but…

in the process it will destroy the entire continent.

The entire continent?

What about all the people still down there?

What will happen to Sandy and the others?

Is the U.N. Planning to just kill everyone? They can't!

Melody…

Earth needs us! They're waiting for reinforcements!

I promised Sandy! That's why I came to Mars!

Calm down, Melody. I haven't given up yet.

There must be a way…

The sandstorm coming in from the north should hit at 0031 hours.

Delay all shuttle launches for the next two hours.

The Akonkaguya is launching from dry-dock 1 in D Port.

The Akonkaguya? That's not scheduled to leave dry-dock yet.

It's listed in the main computer. The countdown's in progress.

That's absurd! Stop it!

Is there someone on the bridge? Call them!

Cut their link to the main computer!

It's already locked in!

It's a hijack! Alert Commander Medincks, on the orbital station!

MDF Station 12, scramble all fighters against the Akonkaguya.

Launch squadron 1204.

The Akonkaguya has reached Mars orbit.

This is easier than I expected.

It's just the first step.

Escape velocity in 25 seconds.

Deploy the sensor boom and jettison boosters.

Prepare for interplanetary flight.

Crew of the Akonkaguya, return to the spaceport,

or we'll be forced to attack.

Fighters from the station!

Can you pull away?

We're 22 seconds from our next burn.

What about the boosters?

Two seconds to separation.

Wait…

No answer!

Pull in and prepare to attack.

They're 15,000 meters away, moving into attack formation.

We could pull away on manual override.

All fighters, attack formation.

Fighters 8,000 meters and closing.

Booster separation, NOW!

Target the main engine.

Captain!

What? Evasive action!

Main engine ignition.

What about the fighters?

They've broken off.

Then we'll follow the Hecatoncheir. Head for Earth!

How long are they going to fight for this damn radar station?

We have to do our best.

The reinforcements from Mars could arrive any day.

If we break through, we can launch another missile barrage.

The infantry always pays the highest price.

Incoming!

Range: 450.

Charge!

Roger.

Here they come. Fire!

Sandy, watch out!

Sandy!

Norton!

I'll handle things here. You go on ahead.

Eliminate them.

SANDY!

Bastard!

Get down!

Norton!

I'm sorry. If it hadn't been for me…

Are you sure they captured her?

Yeah. I don't know why.

Damn!

Why would they want Sandy? There must be a reason.

They wouldn't have captured her if they just wanted to kill her.

We have to find her.

Captain, it's Earth.

Put us into an elliptical orbit.

Watch for hazards and debris.

Distance 094 to orbit insertion. Proceeding on course.

Good.

Newman. Sandy Newman.

Who's there?

Where am I?

Score! Norton!

Who are you?

I am GORN. I am the collected mind of all the MME.

GORN?

Observe.

What's that?

The humans on Mars have constructed a plasma cannon.

It is humanity's trump card.

Plasma cannon?

You humans couldn't resist the lure of alien technology.

You crafted weapons to fight your own fears and demons.

You built us, the MME.

If you're the leader of the MME, then I have a question.

What's your goal?

Grey Newman.

He uncovered the alien technology from the moon.

As his daughter you share his sin.

You've fought well but your fight will soon be over.

What?

You humans gave too much to your creations.

We will purge you from Earth, Mars, and the solar system.

We must prove that we have surpassed our creators.

You'll never succeed!

What's so funny?

Our record of the alien technology is incomplete.

But we do have images of plasma cannons from eons ago.

The Hecatoncheir is a perfect duplicate of that weapon.

They are now aiming it at our citadel in Australia.

If it is fired, it will destroy the entire continent.

Sandy Newman, you have an immense responsibility.

The fate of this continent, all its people and all the MME…

now rests in your hands.

It isn't going well. We've taken out several radar stations,

but we've lost communications with over half our companies.

We'll have to buy some time, after all.

Commander, we've detected a ship coming in from lunar orbit.

Have you identified it?

It's a little blurry, but we think it's a scout from Mars.

That's…!

Squad two has been gone for hours!

Squad 32 is returning. Open up block two. Hurry it up!

We're getting creamed. How's it going with you, Norton?

Don't worry. Once we're done, I'll put him back to normal.

Will it work?

This drone can access the MME data net, to a radius of 200 kilometers.

We'll be able to individually check all MME in that area.

Sounds slow, but I guess we don't have any choice.

We'll leave as soon as you're ready.

No, you can't!

You can't destroy Australia!

Captain, we've reached firing position.

Sixty minutes to activation. All positions, start final check.

MME, mankind created you, and mankind will destroy you!

Commander! That ship we spotted has just entered Earth orbit.

Estimated length is over 1000 meters!

It's already finished!

They're planning to destroy Australia along with the MME!

What the hell have we been fighting for all this time?

Commander? What are your orders for the troops in combat?

Commander, your orders?

Order all troops to disengage immediately.

Tell them to return to the underground shelters.

But sir, some companies are still capable of combat.

Order everyone to withdraw.

No matter what their situation is, order immediate withdrawal.

Mars is willing to destroy everything!

Withdraw?

No, we'll keep searching.

Roger.

Open communications…

Let's see if they have any data on a human prisoner.

Nothing at all?

Damn it!

Where is she?

We're retreating. One soldier is missing, presumed captured.

Roger.

All battalions near R-120, please respond.

You got something?

A guard? What kind of guard?

This is weird. Direction and distance?

Find something?

I've got something. Stay out of my way.

South, 1.2 kilometers. That's outside the city.

She's got a cyberoid guard.

Everyone converge on point R-22.

Main engine, off.

We've reached Earth orbit.

Thrusters are slaved to firing control.

MME citadel locked in.

Main engines now routed to the plasma generators.

We now have full firing power.

Target the MME citadel at the center of the continent.

Commence firing procedures.

Begin the countdown.

Compensating for atmospheric refraction.

59… 58…

The gain on the particle accelerator is rising.

56… 55…

The bore is open.

53… 52… 51…

Beginning plasma focus.

Ship approaching from 2 o'clock!

What?

Putting it on-screen. Range, 180,000 kilometers.

Is it a Mars vessel?

Identity confirmed. MDF-02, the light cruiser Akonkaguya.

The ship that was hijacked?

They're hailing us.

Akonkaguya calling Hecatoncheir.

Captain Varji, please cancel your attack.

Lamidia!

This mission is madness! What you're doing is irrevocable!

Is that intended as an order, Major Lamidia?

You can't stop us. The high council has made its decision.

Captain Varji, we still have people left in Australia.

They're desperately waiting for reinforcements from Mars.

Are you willing to sacrifice them?

Captain, the countdown…?

Proceed. The mission is unchanged.

You're too late, Lamidia. The mission will continue.

Cut communications and continue the countdown.

Lamidia…

The Hecatoncheir is the only thing that can stop the MME.

They've cut communications.

Major…

28… 27… 26…

Captain!

The Akonkaguya has moved into our line of fire!

What?

Lamidia!

Varji, are you going to shoot us, too?

Do you understand the consequences of this?

Captain, should I halt the countdown?

Captain!

10… 9…

8… 7… 6…

5… 4…

Fire!

Halt the attack!

It won't cancel!

What hit us? Report!

A particle beam!

The cannon took a direct hit!

Was it from the surface?

No, the shot originated from geosynchronous orbit.

What?

I won't let them destroy Australia or any of my friends!

What happened?

The humans left their defense satellites in Earth orbit.

They're now ours. We've linked them to this girl's brainwaves.

You gave her control of the defense satellites?

Then why is she attacking her allies?

The humans on Mars planned to abandon their Earth comrades.

They were willing to destroy this entire continent…

just to eliminate the MME.

I decided to entrust our fate to this girl.

Our fate, and the fate of every human in Australia.

Wait, stop!

Mitty!

Looks like it found something!

Look out!

Stabilize the ship! Is the plasma cannon still operational?

An armed satellite?

Yes. It's in a higher orbit.

It's an old anti-missile satellite.

What? But those were abandoned years ago!

It's the MME!

The MME are controlling it!

What?

There are more than 200 armed satellites in Earth orbit.

The MME are controlling all of them.

Altitude restored.

6% damage to power systems.

Can we still use the cannon?

Output will be down by 8%.

Re-acquire target and charge the cannon.

Varji! What's your situation?

Lamidia!

The MME are controlling the satellites.

They know what you're planning.

It's too dangerous.

Stay out of my way! I only need one shot to finish them!

Three satellites heading our way!

Use the particle cannons.

Targets destroyed.

Orbit restored. Twenty seconds to target alignment.

Prepare the plasma cannon.

More satellites are headed this way.

Shoot them! What direction?

Every direction! There's at least 20! No, more than that!

No!

Just one shot… One shot and it will all be over!

STOP!

Voltage drop in the main reactor!

Fires in the hull!

We've lost control!

Captain, we can't go on! We've lost the cannon and the reactor!

You have to give the evacuation order. Captain!

Damn you, MME! I'll destroy you all!

If she's not in there, I'll turn you into scrap!

We won't get in this way.

We'll handle things here. You go around back.

Mitty!

Are you okay?

Don't scare me like that!

Land mines! They've got us blocked.

Land mines, with 20 meters to go!

Search mode.

Mines at two meter intervals. We can't go any farther.

Cyberoids approaching.

Wrong angle for the main gun!

I'll use the machine gun.

Sandy!

Stay here!

Sandy! Sandy!

Wake up, Sandy!

Score!

You sure cause a lot of trouble.

Akonkaguya calling Hecatoncheir.

We're docking. Prepare to transfer all crew.

We've lost our link to the satellite control system.

It is of no consequence.

We've achieved our goal.

Are you all right?

Those idiotic Martians!

They tried to blow up the whole continent!

I'll bet they completely forgot about the old defense satellites.

Serves them right. Them and their Heckaton-whatsit.

I saw something else, though.

Something besides the plasma cannon.

What, an escort ship?

The plasma cannon, the satellites, even the MME…

they were all created by man.

As I was fighting them I finally understood.

I'd thought of the MME as man's natural enemies… pure evil.

But that's not true at all.

Humanity built them… they're our creation.

But we turned our hatred toward them and attacked.

WE were the ones who first tried to destroy THEM.

And now, we're fighting the reflection of our own hatred.

That may be.

What's that?

It can't be!

It's the Mars Force!

Three Mars drop ships!

They've landed in the northeast quadrant, area 4.

Commander!

Melody!

Sandy!

Silly!

Sandy!

We finally found you…

She hasn't changed a bit.

Is that what you've been fighting in?

Well excuse us!

Have we met?

Sorry, I don't hang around with the Mars army.

Are you Sandy?

I'm Sandy Newman.

I'm Lamidia. Lamidia McKenzie.

I knew you'd come.

I knew it. I always believed it.

I know it will come. The future I've dreamed of.
