- Narrator: It is Cosmic Year 101. Humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis. It all began when Mandler, Archfiend of the Void, appeared from a distant cloud of darkness and invaded the solar system. The Mandler Army gained control over several planets within a short time, and built a fortress on the moon with the intention to invade Earth. Humanity combined its forces and developed the CR47, an advanced multi stage docking rocket, and established Lunar Recovery Army Moon Cresta to confront this threat. Sadly, their brave fight was in vain as they were helpless before Mandler's "Power of Void" and in the end, Earth fell into Mandler's clutches. With their homes taken, the people managed to flee to a secret underwater base, but they did not stand idly by as their planet fell deeper into darkness. They gathered what little forces remained and formed Earth Recovery Army Terra Cresta. From their underwater base, they launched the multi-docking fighter Wing Galiber to strike back at Mandler. It was a heated battle with neither side backing down. For a brief moment, the Mandler Army appeared to have been destroyed but Mandler, sustained by the Power of Void, returned leading Zofer, the Universal Order of Darkness and attacked Earth once more. Although humanity resisted with everything they had and beat back the new threat, they eventually realized that they had been drawn into a never-ending war with the seemingly endless waves of invaders. Ultimately, what awaited them at the end of their heroic fight was a devastating loss. An even stronger invasion force known as Mega Zofer finally took control of the sun itself, leaving humanity with no choice but to flee to Laomedeia, the 12th moon of Neptune located at the edge of the solar system. With their lives hanging by a thread, humanity formed Solar Recovery Army Sol Cresta, and with their last hopes raced to develop the Yamato, an all new, cutting-edge docking fighter. And now, the hand of Mega Zofer stretches toward humanity's last stronghold...
- Sho Tendo: [as Amano-Iwato is under attack by Mega Zofer] Our last base! Damn Mega Zofer...! This is Unit 01, Amaterasu! Is everyone okay? Come in, pilots! I repeat, come in!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: This is Unit 02, Tsukuyomi. I'm all right.
- Dril Martin: Unit 03 Susano, alive and kickin'! Hamco is fine too. Who's askin'? You sound like you're about to cry.
- Sho Tendo: I... I'm not crying! Anyway, looks like we kept the Yamato safe.
- Dril Martin: But what do we do now? We can't go home, and we're not even real pilots!
- Sho Tendo: Well, we have to do something!
- Go Kurogane: This is the attack carrier Yatagarasu. Yamato, come in. I repeat, come in!
- Sho Tendo: That voice... Is that Commander Kurogane?
- Go Kurogane: Hm? Unit 01 pilot, identify yourself!
- Sho Tendo: Y-Yes, sir! This is cadet Sho Tendo!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: This is cadet Luna in Unit 02.
- Dril Martin: Dril the engineer in Unit 03. And my buddy Hamco!
- Sho Tendo: There was an attack, and... the other pilots... they...
- Go Kurogane: I see... But you did well to protect the Yamato. You may be cadets, but you command those fighters now. The Yamato, humanity's last hope, is in your hands.
- Sho Tendo: ...Our hands?
- Go Kurogane: And your mission-- Sol Cresta's mission-- is the elimination of Mega Zofer. Your first target is the enemy invasion weapon Vaikun, here on Neptune. Pilots, proceed at once to the target's location! Do you copy?
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Sho Tendo: This is pretty bad... The city's been overrun by the enemy's machines!
- Dril Martin: It's the work of that dang Vaikun. It robs planets of all their energy, natural or manmade.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: The enemy uses that energy to make their weapons.
- Sho Tendo: So if we take out the Vaikun, we'll stop Mega Zofer!
- Dril Martin: Yep! If we destroy all six of 'em in the solar system, that is.
- Sho Tendo: There's SIX of these things?
- Dril Martin: Yep. Venus and Jupiter have already been sucked dry...
- Sho Tendo: No way... Can we beat these things with just the Yamato?
- Dril Martin: The Yamato's got what it takes. As for the pilots...
- Sho Tendo: All right, that's enough!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Dril, you helped design the Yamato, right? I trust you.
- Dril Martin: Good! 'Cause I'm smarter than Mr. Last Place there. Right, Hamco?
- Sho Tendo: Shut up, already!
- Reichi Cosmea: My senses are tingling! Something BIG is on this way!
- Sho Tendo: Is that Reichi? Thanks for the flash, but how about some details!
- Reini Cosmea: Amaterasu, a mid-size enemy battleship is approaching.
- Sho Tendo: Reini, is that you? Uh, how mid-size are we talking?
- Go Kurogane: Steel up, Sho! Believe in your training and the Yamato!
- Sho Tendo: R-roger!
- Shukrah: [after sustaining enough damage] It can't be! I cannot lose... to the likes of THEEESE!
- [explodes]
- Reichi Cosmea: O-kay! Enemy battleship destroyed!
- Reini Cosmea: The enemy battleship is out of commission.
- Sho Tendo: Phew! T-Total piece of cake!
- Dril Martin: You don't sound so sure.
- Sho Tendo: S-Shut up!
- Go Kurogane: Well done! Your next target is the Vaikun. Stay alert!
- Reichi Cosmea: Getting tingles again! Look out, they're coming in fast!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, enemy reinforcements inbound.
- Go Kurogane: We'll send some supplies. Prepare for battle!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- [holding his pendant]
- Sho Tendo: Dad... Help me win this fight!
- Dril Martin: Sho, you talk to that pendant a lot. Everything okay?
- Sho Tendo: Don't you worry about it! All right, let's take them out!
- Reichi Cosmea: Wait! I'm getting tingles again, but... what's this?
- Reini Cosmea: Commander, a new enemy mothership has appeared near the Vaikun.
- Go Kurogane: No data on it, eh? Analyze its capabilities immediately!
- Reichi Cosmea: On it!
- Sho Tendo: A new battleship with no simulation data either, huh?
- Dril Martin: It's not like you've ever won in the simulator, so no big deal!
- Sho Tendo: Look, I do better under pressure!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: A new model...
- Sho Tendo: Luna? What's wrong?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...Nothing. Let's stay focused.
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, you're ten kilometers from the Vaikun.
- Reichi Cosmea: Crazy tingles! Whatever it is, it feels really bad...
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, do you see anything strange out there?
- Sho Tendo: Sho here. Nothing on radar or visual. Dril, you got anything?
- Dril Martin: Sorry, I was feedin' Hamco, not listenin' to you.
- Sho Tendo: You kidding me?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: I sense a presence... but it feels... different...
- Brihas: WAHAHA! So you are the Terran fools who refuse to die!
- Sho Tendo: Who was that?
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, a large enemy battleship is closing in fast.
- Brihas: Brihas has come to put an end to you pesky Terrans!
- Sho Tendo: [Brihas then appears in his battleship] What... What the hell is that thing?
- Dril Martin: This is bad. It's bigger than the Yatagarasu!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: That cannon might be too much even for the Yamato!
- Brihas: I wonder who could have beaten Shukrah, but... You're no more than bothersome flies!
- Sho Tendo: What?
- Brihas: I'll turn you to ash with this ship's plasma cannon!
- Sho Tendo: Think again! We won't be swatted so easily!
- Brihas: [Brihas' battleship sustains enough damage] Pathetic vermin! How dare you do this to me!
- Sho Tendo: When you get to hell, tell 'em Sho Tendo sent ya!
- Dril Martin: What a cornball!
- Sho Tendo: S-Shut up!
- Brihas: What? Tendo you say? Impossible... Could you be...?
- Sho Tendo: ...?
- Brihas: GUHAAAAHHHHHH!
- [explodes]
- Sho Tendo: [after defeating Brihas] All right! Uh, total piece of cake!
- Dril Martin: Looks like one sweaty piece of cake there, Sho.
- Sho Tendo: Hey, that's just from the heat of battle, y'know?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Heh heh.
- Reichi Cosmea: Hang on everyone, it's not over yet!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, you're coming up on the Vaikun's location.
- Sho Tendo: [the Yamato arrives at the Vaikun] Is... this it?
- Go Kurogane: That's the Vaikun! Destroy it and the energy drain will stop!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger! We'll smash it right now!
- Sho Tendo: [after destroying the Vaikun] D-Did we do it?
- Reichi Cosmea: O-kay! The battleship and the Vaikun both went boom!
- Reini Cosmea: The enemy invasion system is down.
- Sho Tendo: Phew! Is it really over then?
- Dril Martin: Look Hamco, the heat of battle cooled off real fast, huh?
- Sho Tendo: Gimme a break, will ya?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Heh heh.
- Go Kurogane: Sho, Luna, and Dril. All of you fought bravely. But five Vaikun still remain. Sol Cresta, on to Uranus!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Sho Tendo: [upon arriving at Uranus] Yamato squad here, headed for the Vaikun. We've engaged the enemy!
- Go Kurogane: The welcome wagon, eh? Yamato squad, make an explosive impression!
- Sho Tendo: Roger! Okay, let's take this planet's Vaikun down fast!
- Dril Martin: Commander Kurogane's always so cool. But you...
- Sho Tendo: Hey, I'm cool when I want to be!
- Reichi Cosmea: Big time tingles! There's something weird down there!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, I've confirmed an old ID code coming from point XT200.
- Go Kurogane: An old ID code? Uranus was taken long ago. There can't be any survivors... It could be a trap. Stay focused on the Vaikun!
- Sho Tendo: Roger! O-Okay... Let's make an explosive impression!
- Dril Martin: Wow Hamco, it's just like the Commander is here, huh!
- Sho Tendo: Can it!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: I'm feeling something awfully familiar... But it can't be...
- Sho Tendo: This is Unit 01. We're at the ID code transmission point.
- Go Kurogane: Reichi, do you sense anything unusual?
- Reichi Cosmea: Hmm... I sense something, but I don't know what.
- Go Kurogane: Is there something here even you can't pin down?
- Rahhu: [defeated] HOW? How was my ship... destroyed so easily? To think, I meet my end before seeing Lord Mandler's return...!
- Sho Tendo: Mandler's return? What are you talking about?
- Go Kurogane: Terra Cresta buried Mandler years ago!
- Rahhu: Hahaha! You vermin merely destroyed a vessel! Our lord will soon rise in a new body, nourished by planetary energy!
- Dril Martin: Planetary energy! Then Vaikun aren't actually weapon plants-- They're collecting energy to resurrect Mandler!
- Sho Tendo: What?
- Rahhu: You are far too late to stop it now. The rebirth will plunge the universe into darkness! Glory to Lord MANDLERRRR!
- [explodes]
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: It's coming!
- Sho Tendo: Hm? Luna, did you say something?
- Reini Cosmea: An unidentified heat source is closing in.
- Go Kurogane: What?
- Sho Tendo: [a fighter suddenly appears] W-What in the world?
- Dril Martin: Is that... M-Alpha?
- Sho Tendo: M-Alpha?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: This feeling... It has to be...!
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, focus on the battle and take down the enemy!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Sho Tendo: [after the enemy fighter sustains enough damage, it retreats] Trying to run, huh? Stop right there! Dammit!
- Dril Martin: Thought you'd be glad to see it go.
- Sho Tendo: Well, I'm not. What the hell WAS that, anyway?
- Dril Martin: Code Name: M-Alpha. A Mega Zofer docking fighter.
- Sho Tendo: Mega Zofer has docking fighters too? That one was just like ours...
- Dril Martin: Well, yeah. It's the Yamato prototype.
- Sho Tendo: Oh, right... Wait, what? Are you serious?
- Reini Cosmea: Multiple enemy units detected at the Vaikun's location.
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, there's no time for chatter. We've wasted precious time with that battle. Get to the Vaikun before you're surrounded!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Sho Tendo: Hey, Dril. What was that you were saying before?
- Dril Martin: What, about you bein' glad to say bye-bye to M-Alpha?
- Sho Tendo: No, you dunce. About it being a Yamato prototype!
- Go Kurogane: Why don't I tell you more about that.
- Sho Tendo: C-Commander Kurogane!
- Go Kurogane: Sixteen years ago... One of Terra Cresta's elite soldiers infiltrated the enemy nerve center. He stole classified intel from them and brought it back to Earth. He helped Terra Cresta get a chance to strike back and win the war.
- Sho Tendo: ...
- Go Kurogane: That intel included plans for state-of-the-art fighters. The Earth Federation Forces used those blueprints to develop...
- Dril Martin: The Yamato. I worked on the base schematics. I tweaked the enemy's specs and juiced 'em good so it flies like a dream! Why I...
- Go Kurogane: Focus on the battle for now. Believe in the Yamato, and those who made it possible.
- Sho Tendo: ...Roger.
- Dril Martin: Man, and just when I was getting to the good part!
- Dril Martin: [the mysterious ship flies off] That's odd... Looks like our mystery ship is leavin'!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: It seems to be drawing the enemy away from us.
- Sho Tendo: And helping us get closer to the Vaikun. But who was it?
- Reini Cosmea: Additional enemy squadrons inbound.
- Dril Martin: What a pain! My fingers are cramped around the controls as is!
- Sho Tendo: Trying to keep us from the Vaikun, huh? Not today!
- Reichi Cosmea: Tingles! Something's on the way... It's almost here!
- Sho Tendo: Huh?
- [another ship suddenly appears]
- Sho Tendo: What's this? Another new enemy ship?
- Dril Martin: It's got stealth camo. I can't get visual on the thing!
- Reini Cosmea: The ship is transmitting an old Earth Federation Forces ID code.
- Go Kurogane: That ship is using one of OUR codes?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Look! It's almost as if... that ship is helping us.
- Go Kurogane: But who... Reini, analysis now! Yamato squad, stay alert!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Reichi Cosmea: Tingles! Something big is coming!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, we've got enemy targeting radar activity.
- Go Kurogane: They've got you in their sights. Prepare for combat, now!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Rahhu: [appears] HAH! Clever of you to sense your doom, so very cunning.
- Sho Tendo: Another Mega Zofer grunt, huh? So who are you?
- Rahhu: I am Rahhu. Submit Terrans, or fall prey to my warship's cannons!
- Sho Tendo: Ha! How about you try actually beating us first. Tell you what. If YOU surrender, we won't vaporize you!
- Dril Martin: Hey, there's fightin' words, Sho! Too bad you can't fight! Up top, Hamco!
- Sho Tendo: Just keep quiet, will you?
- Rahhu: HMPH. I prefer to torture the beaten and abject, but-- I'll kill you now in honor of Lord Mandler's resurrection!
- Sho Tendo: What? What did you just say?
- Reini Cosmea: [after Rahhu is destroyed] The enemy battleship is down. Yamato squad, you're coming up on the Vaikun's location.
- Reichi Cosmea: [after the Vaikun is destroyed] O-kay! The battleship and the Vaikun both went boom!
- Reini Cosmea: The enemy invasion system is down.
- Sho Tendo: I can't believe it... That demon Mandler is alive!
- Go Kurogane: If so, we face a threat beyond all imagination. We must destroy all of the Vaikun without delay. Then we attack the Mega Zofer base on the sun!
- Sho Tendo: ...The sun!
- Go Kurogane: The day will come when we feel it's warmth again! Now, proceed at once to Jupiter!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- [holding his pendant]
- Sho Tendo: Dad...
- Dril Martin: Hamco, Sho's talkin' to his pendant again...
- Reini Cosmea: [the group arrives on Saturn] Yamato squad, condition green.
- Go Kurogane: As you all know, the enemy has put up a barrier in this solar system. It's a powerful thing, reaching from the sun all the way to Jupiter. We'll never get past Saturn unless we take it down. First, you must destroy the astral barrier generator on Saturn. Once the astral barrier is down, the Vaikun is next!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- Sho Tendo: [after fighting, the Trimurti is damaged] All right! How'd you like that, you crow?
- Dita: Amazing... You fared better than expected against two fighters. I suppose I should ask your name.
- Sho Tendo: I'm not telling you a damn thing!
- Dril Martin: Don't hold out, Sho. I know you're just dyin' to tell him!
- Dita: Sho, is it? I'll remember it as the name of my prey. My Trimurti is only whole with all three fighters. Don't die before I return fully prepared to hunt. Until next time!
- [escapes]
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: He's... coming back!
- Reichi Cosmea: Tingles! That guy from before is coming back, but...?
- Go Kurogane: 4D radar, maximum power! Yatagarasu, Alert Level 1!
- Reini Cosmea: M-Alpha ID code detected. And... there's another unit.
- Go Kurogane: What?
- Sho Tendo: [the fighter appears] M-Alpha!
- Dril Martin: M-Beta is here too! It's really movin'!
- Dita: M-Alpha? What an unrefined name for my precious ship.
- Sho Tendo: Who are you?
- Dita: I am Dita, a proud warrior of Mega Zofer!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...Dita?
- Sho Tendo: Proud? Ha! You're just a dirty invader!
- Dita: Save your impotent barking, vile Terran insect.
- Sho Tendo: The HELL did you say?
- Dita: Witness the power of my superb ship, Trimurti!
- Sho Tendo: [holding his pendant] Mandler's... coming back...
- Dril Martin: Consultin' your pendant again Sho?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Sho, can you hear me? I'm calling you on a private channel.
- Sho Tendo: Luna? W-what's up?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Relax, or you'll start making mistakes. Keep a cool head, and...
- Sho Tendo: What?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: I'm sure your pendant will protect you.
- Sho Tendo: Oh, this... I told you about it before, right? It was my dad's. He died in battle before I was born, but he left it for me... The Commander kept it safe for him as a personal favor. I won't let my dad's death be in vain. I'll destroy Mega Zofer... and take down Mandler!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Sho...
- Sho Tendo: [as the Trimurti flies off] Get back here, you dirty crow!
- Dril Martin: Was he controllin' both of those ships? That's crazy!
- Sho Tendo: What? Well, uh... hey! We still beat him, so who cares!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, minor damage confirmed.
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, do you read me? Don't pursue that ship. Head straight for the barrier generator!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- Dril Martin: Is that relief I hear in your voice, Sho?
- Sho Tendo: You talk too much!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Dita... I'm sure of it! He's got to be my...
- Sho Tendo: [the Yamato stumbles upon the ruins of a city on Saturn] The city's just a bombed-out husk... Damn Mega Zofer!
- Reichi Cosmea: Yamato! No signs of major enemy activity for now. Good luck!
- Reini Cosmea: 200 kilometers to the astral barrier generator.
- Sho Tendo: Roger! Unlike your creator, you're both really helpful.
- Dril Martin: Careful, Sho! The twins hate it when people bad mouth me.
- Reichi Cosmea: Not really! After all, you ARE a big goof-off.
- Reini Cosmea: No objections here.
- Dril Martin: Geez! This is exactly why I don't like makin' androids!
- Sho Tendo: Hey, Luna. Are you okay?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...Sho?
- Sho Tendo: Relax, it's the private line. I know you well enough to tell when something's up.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Sho Tendo: But we gotta get back safely first, okay? For now, let's just think about winning this fight!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...Sho, wait. I need to tell you something.
- Sho Tendo: W-What is it? You sound pretty serious.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: I was taken in as a child and raised in the same orphanage as you, but... But the truth is... The truth is... I'm a synthoid. A lab-created human.
- Sho Tendo: A synthoid? What are you saying?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: It's true. Commander Kurogane knows about it too. I didn't mean to hide it. I just didn't know what to say.
- Sho Tendo: ...Well, so what? You're a great person, and part of the team.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...Sho?
- Sho Tendo: Don't let something like that rattle you. Let's focus, okay?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Wait, Sho! There's more I need to tell you...
- Reini Cosmea: 100 kilometers to the astral barrier generator.
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, stay alert!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- Reini Cosmea: One kilometer to the astral barrier generator.
- Go Kurogane: The target is straight ahead. Yamato, prepare to attack!
- Sho Tendo: Roger!
- Scara: [damaged] Impossible! The great Scara, beaten by mere Terrans? Hmm? What is this presence...? The same brain wave pattern as Dita's?
- Sho Tendo: Ha! So much for elites. I'm a combat genius!
- Scara: Not you, ape! Could this pattern be... his twin?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: !
- Sho Tendo: Huh?
- Dril Martin: He already said it's not you, Sho.
- Sho Tendo: Can you just shut up?
- Scara: Ah, so that's it... The Earth Federation Forces... GAHAAAAAAAH!
- [explodes]
- Sho Tendo: [after the Yamato destroys the astral barrier generator] All right! There goes the enemy barrier!
- Dril Martin: Next stop, the Vaikun!
- Reichi Cosmea: Mega tingles! There's a big one coming!
- Sho Tendo: Damn! Another Mega Zofer flunky?
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, a large carrier is closing in.
- Scara: [appears] Mangy Terran, I am no flunky.
- Dril Martin: He's got your number, Sho.
- Sho Tendo: Zip it! Come on! I'll show you what the Yamato can do, FLUNKY!
- Scara: Yamato? That's little more than an inferior Trimurti clone!
- Dril Martin: Trimurti?
- Scara: Yes! I believe my protege Dita has shown you a glimpse. Of course, with only two fighters he was merely toying with you!
- Dril Martin: Hang on... You mean he can control three fighters? That's bananas!
- Scara: He is an elite warrior born from our science, you apes! But don't concern yourselves with Dita. You Terrans will all die here now!
- Reini Cosmea: [the Yamato arrives at Saturn's Vaikun] Yamato squad, you're coming up on the Vaikun's location.
- Sho Tendo: [after destroying the Vaikun] YEAH! Another one down!
- Reichi Cosmea: O-kay! The battleship and the Vaikun both went boom!
- Reini Cosmea: The enemy invasion system is down.
- Reichi Cosmea: WAIT! Tingles! Major bad vibes coming from afar!
- Reini Cosmea: Detecting a large heat source from Mars. Possible mega antimatter particle cannon.
- Sho Tendo: Now what? Another enemy attack already?
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, you heard the news. Looks like the enemy's switching from shield to sword with that antimatter particle cannon. We'll proceed to Mars immediately!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Dril Martin: These guys never let up! Very annoying.
- Sho Tendo: You're the expert on annoying...
- Dril Martin: I mean right, Luna? They just keep coming!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Sho Tendo: Luna...
- Sho Tendo: Damn! We're in a hurry, but they just keep coming!
- Dril Martin: Is it just me, or are there way more of them than before?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: They're launching an all-out attack to try and stop us!
- Reichi Cosmea: Tingles! Something's wrong... something I've felt before!
- Dril Martin: Seriously? More enemies?
- Sho Tendo: No! This feeling is...
- Dril Martin: I think it's... yeah! It's the guy from Uranus!
- Go Kurogane: Reini, can you communicate with them?
- Reini Cosmea: I'm trying to hail them, but there's no response.
- Go Kurogane: Doesn't look like an enemy... but who on earth is it? That combat style looks familiar...
- Dril Martin: Sho! Can we trust this guy?
- Sho Tendo: I don't know... But somehow... I feel safe fighting alongside them.
- Reini Cosmea: The unidentified ship is breaking away.
- Dril Martin: Aw, leaving already? Sorry to see ya go, buddy.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: It's leading the enemy away again... The pilot must be quite experienced.
- Sho Tendo: But why help us?
- Sho Tendo: [arriving at Mars] Yamato squad here, en route to destroy the mega antimatter particle cannon!
- Go Kurogane: It seems we made it to Mars before they could fire the cannon.
- Dril Martin: I'm the one who cooked up the Yatagarasu's light-speed accelerator. In a pinch, it can cover distances like this in a snap!
- Go Kurogane: But if we're hit right when we warp out, we won't stand a chance. To reach the sun, we must destroy the cannon here!
- Reini Cosmea: Mega antimatter particle cannon targeting radar detected.
- Go Kurogane: What? It's almost ready to fire! Hurry, Yamato squad!
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Dril Martin: Oh man! If we don't hurry up, we'll all get turned into space dust!
- Garaka: [after taking enough damage] It cannot be! These Terrans are a much greater threat than the data reveals!
- Sho Tendo: The Yamato's ours now, and we're not cadets anymore!
- Dril Martin: Sheesh! If your head gets any bigger, you'll get stuck in the cockpit.
- Sho Tendo: Ugh...
- Garaka: Damn you all! Long live Lord MANDLERRR!
- [explodes]
- Reichi Cosmea: O-kay! The enemy battleship and the cannon are space junk!
- Reini Cosmea: The enemy battleship and mega antimatter particle cannon are down.
- Sho Tendo: All right! That's two birds with one stone!
- Go Kurogane: Phew... Well done squad, but don't celebrate just yet. I'm sure you veteran pilots didn't forget the Vaikun.
- Sho Tendo: Uh... o-of course not! We'll take it out right away!
- Dril Martin: He totally forgot... Well, Hamco and I kinda did too.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Heh heh.
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, you're ten kilometers from the Vaikun.
- Sho Tendo: Let's clean this up and move on to the next...
- Reichi Cosmea: Ahhh! There's those tingles!
- Sho Tendo: I knew it! We'll take out the battleship and the Vaikun at the same time!
- Reichi Cosmea: No, it's not a battleship... it's something much worse!
- Reini Cosmea: A three-unit squad is closing in fast.
- Dril Martin: Three units? Could it be...
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: !
- Dita: [appears] Still alive, eh Sho? But your luck has just run out.
- Sho Tendo: Keep cawing, crow!
- Dita: I'll show you the true power of the complete Trimurti!
- Sho Tendo: A murder of crows is still just a bunch of mangy birds. I'll roast you!
- Dril Martin: I turned the original Trimurti design into a three-man ship to get a handle on its power. But he's controllin' all three parts solo. He's a beast!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Sho Tendo: Don't get scared! We just gotta do the best we can!
- Reini Cosmea: [the Yamato reaches the cannon] Mega antimatter particle cannon in one kilometer.
- Go Kurogane: Yamato, there's no time to lose. Destroy the target at once!
- Reichi Cosmea: Tingles! There's an enemy battleship nearby!
- Reini Cosmea: Yamato squad, a possible enemy heat source is closing in fast.
- Garaka: [appears] I see you Terran rodents have sniffed out our glorious weapon.
- Sho Tendo: Hey, it's a new grunt! Well, you and that pea shooter are scrap!
- Dril Martin: Don't think YOU should call people grunts, Cadet Sho!
- Sho Tendo: Which side are you on?
- Garaka: This cannon will finish charging in moments. When it does, your last moment will come! WAHAHAHAHA!
- Sho Tendo: Let's take the Vaikun out fast and hit the next planet!
- Dril Martin: See, get cocky and that's when things get tricky.
- Reichi Cosmea: Hmm... No tingles, but I've got a bad feeling.
- Dril Martin: You're not the only one. Right Hamco?
- Sho Tendo: All right already! I'll keep my guard up!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Reini Cosmea: [after the Yamato subdues Dita, they arrive at the Vaikun] Yamato squad, you're coming up on the Vaikun's location.
- Sho Tendo: Let's blow up this Vaikun too!
- Sho Tendo: [after destroying Mars' Vaikun] Alright! Another one down and a victory for teamwork!
- Dril Martin: Teamwork? My designs did all the work. Right, Hamco?
- Sho Tendo: What did you say?
- Dita: [his mask breaks off] Ha ha ha... Such fools, sated by such a small feat.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: !
- Dril Martin: Holy-- You've gotta be kiddin' me!
- Sho Tendo: That face...!
- Dita: It's my first time controlling all three in combat. I thought I'd collect some response speed data.
- Dril Martin: W-Wait just a minute! You're human? Then why are you with Mega Zofer?
- Dita: Human? I'm no stray dog like the lot of you. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: No... Stop that demonic laugh!
- Dita: What?
- Sho Tendo: L-Luna?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Why... What have you become?
- Dita: You... you're...!
- Dril Martin: What's going on? Luna, you know this guy?
- Dita: I can't believe it... Anum, is it really you? Alive?
- Sho Tendo: ...Anum?
- Dita: Why are you with them? Fighting alongside TERRANS?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: What are you saying? Please, Dita, wake up!
- Dita: They must have brainwashed you! I'll save you right now!
- Chandor: That will be enough, Dita. Retreat now.
- Dita: Chandor? I can't retreat! Anum is alive!
- Chandor: Calm yourself. They won't run off anytime soon. You were here to collect data, yes? Tune your Trimurti, then do with them as you like. You are Lord Mandler's right hand. No harm must come to you.
- Dita: Fine. I'll turn back... this time.
- [flies off]
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: DITA!
- Chandor: ...Now then, I'm very pleased to meet you, soldiers of Sol Cresta. I am Chandor, most honorable servant of Lord Mandler. You seek to destroy all of the Vaikun, correct? I shall await your arrival in my domain--planet Earth!
- Dril Martin: What... what's goin' on? Why'd he call her Anum?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Go Kurogane: Yamato squad, return to the Yataragasu immediately! It's time we regrouped as well.
- Sho Tendo: R-Roger!
- Sho Tendo: [the Yamato arrives at Earth] Yamato squad here, en route to destroy the next Vaikun!
- Chandor: There you are, Sol Cresta. I was getting impatient.
- Dril Martin: Coming out to meet us uh... Who are you again?
- Sho Tendo: It's Chandor!
- Chandor: I'll see you at the Vaikun. If you survive, of course.
- Sho Tendo: We won't just survive, we'll vaporize you!
- Dril Martin: So just who was that Dita guy anyway? Luna didn't tell me anything before we left...
- Sho Tendo: That's because you spent too much time in the bathroom!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...
- Dril Martin: Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter. Luna or Anum, a rose by any other name, right?
- Sho Tendo: What's wrong with you...
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Dril...
- Dril Martin: Anyway, this is some pretty depressin' scenery. Terra Cresta gave their all to try and take back Earth, but...
- Sho Tendo: Dammit! How dare Mandler do this to our home!
- [holding his pendant]
- Sho Tendo: I'll avenge you Dad... I promise!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Sho... Can you hear me?
- Sho Tendo: Private call, Luna? Let's focus on battle now, okay?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Thank you for being kind back there... but I have to tell you something. The man in that black ship... is my twin brother.
- Sho Tendo: What... What did you say?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Dita and I were synthoids created in a Mega Zofer lab. We were trained in combat from birth. But a brave Earth Federation Forces soldier infiltrated the lab and saved me...... and left Dita behind.
- Sho Tendo: ...
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: After that, as you know, you and I were raised in the same orphanage. Commander Kurogane knew everything, and sponsored me as a cadet.
- Sho Tendo: I guess... I kinda had a feeling.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: ...What?
- Sho Tendo: You always looked so lonely whenever I saw you, so I figured something was up.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Sho...
- Sho Tendo: But Earth's future is on the line. We can't go easy on him.
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: I know. And if you don't put an end to things, I will.
- Sho Tendo: Luna...
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Dril should know too. He trusts me, after all...
- Sho Tendo: It can wait. He needs to stay focused, and so do we!
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: Okay!
- Chandor: Geh heh heh. How are you faring, my dear Sol Cresta? As a good host, I've arranged a bit of entertainment.
- Sho Tendo: [duplicates of CR-47 appear] I-Is that...?
- Dril Martin: I never dreamed I'd see the real thing in flight! That ship is every space engineer's dream!
- Go Kurogane: It's Moon Cresta's combat rocket, the CR-47! Unbelievable... Did they steal old Earth Federation Forces data and replicate it?
- Luna Zarnitsyna Sheena: That's despicable!
- Chandor: Ah yes, it is indeed a despicable rocket. But perfectly suited to dealing with you!
- Sho Tendo: Bastard! You make me sick!
- Chandor: Geh heh heh heh heh! Allow me once more to welcome you to MY Earth, Sol Cresta!
