It is the 31st century.

Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops

when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus,

but the ancient Gods of Olympus are angry

and threaten a terrible revenge.

Mortals, you defy the Gods?

I sentence you to travel among unknown stars.

Until you find the Kingdom of Hades,

your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

Ulysses, the way back to Earth has been wiped from my memory.

Father, oh father!

You are alive my son.

Aeolia.

You ought to be happy, today is your birthday.

I prepared a special present for you.

- Oh! - Watch…

You see, what a perfect birthday present for my daughter.

Father, please don't.

I don't want to watch your cruel games.

You know I don't like them.

No, I won't look.

Ha-hahaha!

Ohh!

Let's go.

Come on, faster.

Woooh!

Come on, Nono.

Hang on.

Heeee!

Still there?

Heeee-yah!

Ha-hahahaha!

Hey, hang on there Nono.

Yes, Yes!

Whoa!

Haha! Haha!

Hi Nono.

Hi Yumi.

Yah! Oh!

- Oh! - Huh?

Nono, wake up, speak to me.

Poor Nono.

Yeah! Yeah! Uh! Yeah! Uh!

Yeah! Uh! Yeah! Uh! Uh!

That was quite an experience.

- Ohh! - Ah!

- Wah! - Ah-ah!

Ah-ah!

Waahh!

Shirka, activate all circuits to re-establish gravitation.

Cyclonic disturbances forming Ulysses.

Gravitational circuits out of control.

Shirka quickly, manual control.

As fast as you can.

Great galaxies, what's that?

A metallic electrical grounding, reinforced with bronze rings.

Ship's controls aren't working.

We can't stop.

Anti-attraction force: 15.

A power of 7. Attraction force 73.

Power infinite.

Incredible!

We made it!

Don't go on, father.

Won't you stop. No one can beat you.

- You're much too powerful. - Huh?

Aeolia, you can't mean what you're saying.

We can't stop in mid-game.

Mother is right. We can't stop now. We would insult our guests.

- Hmm! - Hmm!

Aeolia, stop complaining, I'm the only one who decides.

Now let the games begin.

Hahahahaha!

Thank you for honouring my little daughter, Aeolia

with your presence here.

And now, a special surprise.

Ahh!

Aa-eh-eh-eh-eh!

Look, all this is in your honour.

What is this place, and who are you?

What are you going to do with us?

You don't recognise me?

Aeolus, I am King of the Winds and Master of Cosmic Currents.

This is my family,

and these are my honoured guests…

Boreas, the North Wind.

Notus, the South Wind.

Zephyrus, the West Wind.

Eurus, the East Wind.

You should be happy to provide our entertainment before you disappear.

But we won't go into that right now.

What do you mean by that?

Hahahahaha!

I think you know very well.

My father is Ulysses. He's more powerful than you are.

- Telemachus! - Oh, Ulysses?

Ulysses…

From Earth?

That Ulysses indeed!

Yes, that's right!

Well what a pleasant surprise this is.

My my my, it appears we managed to capture quite a prize in this Ulysses.

- Oh, why! - It's Ulysses!

Ulysses, the play thing of the Gods.

Hahahahahahaha!

That will be good.

He will provide entertainment fit for a princess's birthday.

Hahahahahahaha!

Ulysses, I'm generous. I'm willing to help you with your present problem.

Please, won't you please stop?

Whose birthday is it?

Give them a chance to get away. Please father.

Precisely what I intend doing, my daughter.

Father, no!

Aeolus, spare the children, at least.

Aeolus, are you a monarch or a monster?

If you win the game, you can save them.

I own a magic treasure chest.

It could help you return to Earth.

But on no account, must you open it.

Or it will lose it's power.

And what's inside in highly dangerous.

Find the treasure chest, and it's yours.

I wish you luck.

And you promise if I do, you'll let us go back to Earth?

Yes, I promise.

But I warn you, we will use all our powers to outdo you.

Go and find that precious box Ulysses.

It is the gateway to the Earth.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Well, what is it to be?

You accept. Good, may the Winds be with you then.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

No, not that.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

He succeeded!

This man Ulysses is as good as his reputation, but it's not over yet.

Hahahahaha!

Life and Death Chess!

Shh. Come.

Why are you helping us? Aeolus is your father.

Because I want to stop their cruel games. I can't bear it.

I'm beginning to like her.

Please, come on. Follow me.

I know a secret passageway, leading to the treasure chest.

But we must be on our guard.

Hurry up!

Faster, faster!

Hahahahahahaha!

A wonderful game, wouldn't you agree Aeolia?

Hahahahaha!

Eh? Aeolia, my daughter, where is she?

Disappears without asking anybody's permission.

What does she think?

On her birthday.

Oh, it's her birthday!

What your father said,

If we find this treasure chest, can we go back to Earth?

Yes, but I better warn you,

You mustn't open this box.

Inside there's a magic stone.

With powers that could destroy everything.

O great Aeolus,

your daughter has freed Ulysses' children and has run away with them.

What? My own daughter.

Father!

There's only one thing we can do.

But remember, you must be very careful.

Mm-hmm.

Hahahahahahahaha!

Enough, now for the finale.

No!

Give me that!

Huh?

Aeolia had betrayed me.

Betrayed by my own daughter.

The chest, there it is.

Now we shall see, what we shall see.

You will find out what it costs

when anyone tries to double cross the King of the Winds.

My friends, come and see how Aeolus dispenses justice,

and punishes traitors.

Haven't you an ounce of pity, even for your own daughter?

Arh!

Argh!

No father!

- Great galaxies, father! - By the eye of the Cyclops!

Please don't Papa, please stop!

Who goes there?

Ha-ha! He has stolen my box. Get him!

Wait my Winds.

Aeolus, you were going to kill my father and sacrifice your own daughter!

Don't open it. It's dangerous.

It belongs to me. Come on now. Give it back.

Huh!

No, don't hurt him.

No!

Ohh!

Uh!

Don't hurt him.

I ask you all to forgive him.

I don't want you to do anything that would hurt him.

You can't hurt him.

Ahh!

Aeolia, my little girl…

I beg your forgiveness. Aeolia, I want you to live.

Your fiends are free to go, you understand.

Too bad, that stone could have taken us back home.

When I opened the box, all the power went out of the stone.

Thanks to you and Aeolia, we're still alive and together,

and that's all that matters.

Now the chest is empty of treasure, Aeolia,

I know at last, you were all the treasure I needed.

I'm so happy.

I promise no more cruelty, if you promise to stay happy.

Forever!
