The Destined Showdown!

Star BlazersIts cometary disguise blasted away by a massive attack from the Earth fleet, the Comet Empire remains impervious to Earth attack. Captain Gideon discovers the secret to attacking the Empire’s base, but only at the cost of his life and the Andromeda itself. When the smoke clears, the badly-damaged Argo is all that’s left of the Earth Defense Force. The Argo falls back to Jupiter so the crew can make repairs. Wildstar, injured during the attack, also needs a little bit of time to recover. On Earth, the President has announced the defeat of the entire Earth fleet at Saturn, and panic escalates to rioting. Prince Zordar sends a messenger to Earth, demanding an immediate surrender – or Earth will be destroyed. When the President asks to negotiate a truce, Zordar destroys the moon and everyone living there to make his point, and the human race is brought to its knees.

Life And Death Struggle: Two Brave Men!

Star BlazersAs the Comet Empire lands in the Pacific Ocean so Zordar can begin his rule over humanity, Desslock and a badly injured Wildstar face off on the bridge of Desslock’s ship. When Wildstar falls from his own injuries, Desslock is stunned to find himself staring down the barrel of Nova’s gun – and is even more surprised when he can’t bring himself to shoot either of them. Desslock orders the Gamilons to retreat from Earth space, making a pledge to find a way for his people to live on peacefully. Wildstar returns to the Argo, only now learning that his best friend is dead – and that the Argo is barely in any shape to fight the Comet Empire now.

Yamato: Strategic Invasion Of The Imperial City!

Star BlazersWildstar heeds the advice of both Captain Gideon and Desslock, launching a two-pronged attack on the Comet Empire headquarters. The Black Tigers attack from the air, while the Argo – with IQ-9 at the helm – plunges into the ocean to strike the vulnerable bottom of the comet. The attack drives the Comet Empire back into orbit, and Wildstar orders a relentless pursuit. A pitch battle is fought between the Black Tigers and the Empire’s stingray fighters, while the Argo takes up a position directly beneath the Empire. Sandor points out a fighter launch door on the lowest point of the comet, and Wildstar forms a team to board the Empire and sabotage their ship from within. Knox and Sandor join him as he flies directly into the Empire’s launch bay, where a close-quarters battle ensues between an Argo fighter squadron and the Empire’s fighters inside their own home base. Sandor is injured during the mission, losing his bionic leg, while Knox and Wildstar sabotage the ship’s main reactor. The Argo crew watches as the comet disintegrates – and then as a huge battleship emerges from the debris, commanded by Zordar and still more than capable of destroying Earth.

Be Forever, Yamato

Star BlazersZordar’s space fortress unleashes a furious volley of firepower at the Argo, leaving it crippled in space. He then moves on to Earth, where he begins laying waste to the surface of the planet. Wildstar once again orders the Argo evacuated, but he refuses to board the last rescue ship with Doctor Sane. On the bridge, Wildstar prepares to ram Zordar’s ship with the Argo, but he’s stunned to find that Nova – knowing that he wouldn’t leave without a fight – has also remained aboard. But nothing prepares Wildstar and Nova for the surprise of the return of a man who they were certain was dead – brought back to life by a woman from Telezart who was also presumed dead. Horrified that she has returned Mark Venture to the Argo during a kamikaze mission, Wildstar asks Trelaina to take Venture – still only barely alive – to Earth to receive proper medical treatment. But Trelaina has one last appointment to keep…with Prince Zordar.
