00:00Last stop for another exciting adventure in outer space with Scott McCloud, Space Angel,
00:17in the story of The Gladiator.
00:21Evening star calling Starduster.
00:27Starduster come in please.
00:28Scott, if you can hear me, please come in.
00:31This is Starduster.
00:32What's the excitement Professor?
00:33Over.
00:34You know that asteroid crystal discovered in Vector 5?
00:35Yeah, what about it?
00:36Scott, get this.
00:37That little gem contains over 80% beryllium.
00:38What's the mass Professor?
00:39It's one half of Earth's moon.
00:40Holy cats, what a find.
00:41It's important that we get to the asteroid before an outage.
00:42We can't afford to lose it.
00:43It's a matter of time.
00:44We can't afford to lose it.
00:45We can't afford to lose it.
00:46We can't afford to lose it.
00:47We can't afford to lose it.
00:48We can't afford to lose it.
00:49We can't afford to lose it.
00:50We can't afford to lose it.
00:51We can't afford to lose it.
00:53We're on our way, Professor.
00:59Out here.
01:01I feel like a lucky prospector.
01:12Uh, oh, we've got company.
01:18What is it, Toris?
01:19Another ship headed toward our asteroid.
01:20Looks like we have a race.
01:21Hang on.
01:22Taurus, turn on the forward muse code.
01:35Aye, Skipper.
01:36I don't recognize the ship.
01:39It's not from our solar system.
01:41Anthenians.
01:42No question about it.
01:44Think we can beat them?
01:45We'll sure try.
01:46Standby for landing.
01:57Aye, Skipper.
01:58Reaching crystal.
01:590.4 gravity.
02:01Standby.
02:02Firing retro rockets.
02:16We beat them.
02:45Follow me, gang.
03:03Steady now.
03:04The hatch is opening.
03:06Look, Scott.
03:07There's the Anthenian.
03:10Creatures from Earth, you are helpless.
03:12We have a protective beam surrounding you and your ship.
03:16But why?
03:17We were here first.
03:19The inter-galaxy law determines that this is our asteroid by right of first touchdown.
03:24Laws.
03:25Anthenians have their own laws.
03:27And by the right of possession, this asteroid is ours.
03:31This matter must be arbitrated before the Interplanetary Space Council.
03:36We will settle this before the Anthenian space advisors.
03:41They will know what to do.
03:46A force ray.
03:47I can't move.
03:52Oh, to think you can outwit an Anthenian.
03:55The girl must come with me.
03:57Leave the last alone, you monkey.
03:59If I could move, I...
04:02I couldn't reach my disintegrated right.
04:06Why are you taking the girl?
04:07She can't help you.
04:09Make sure you follow us to Anthenia.
04:12Skipper, we can't leave Kristoffer.
04:14I know.
04:16They've got the upper hand at the moment.
04:18Good.
04:19He's turned off the force ray.
04:20We'll have to follow them to us.
04:22Aye, Skipper.
04:23And if they haunt him that last, they'll be sorry they ever saw this day.
04:40Should we notify the Space Council?
04:43Not while they have Kristoffer.
04:45No, we'll have to play by their rules for now.
04:48Well, it won't be long now.
04:50There's our destination.
05:40Stand by, Taurus.
05:42This isn't going to be easy.
05:44Careful, Skipper.
05:45You're only allowed one mistake.
06:07We made it, Skipper.
06:08I'm sure glad that's over.
06:10Me too.
06:12That belt of asteroids is what makes the Anthenians so arrogant.
06:16It's the finest defense barrier in this galaxy.
06:19Aye, Skipper.
06:20From there is their main planet.
06:22Stay ahead.
06:31Stand by for landing.
06:33We're entering atmosphere.
06:38We're landing.
06:39We're landing.
06:40We're landing.
07:03According to inter-galaxy law,
07:05the first ship to touch down on an asteroid may claim it.
07:09Here, we make the law.
07:11And there's but one way to settle a dispute.
07:13War.
07:14War!
07:15War!
07:16What kind of war?
07:18You will meet our gladiators in our fighting machines.
07:22Well, now, we always enjoy a good fight.
07:25You will have a good fight, Earthling, against our champions.
07:29You will have the privilege of fighting three wars.
07:32If you win two of the three, the brilliant asteroid is yours.
07:37And if we lose?
07:38To lose is to die.
07:41This meeting is adjourned to the arena.
07:48The first war will be fought with cannonmobiles.
07:51I presume I'll have time to practice the operation of this toy.
07:56You will get plenty of practice when the war begins.
07:59Real sports, these Anthenians.
08:02You will find Zarko, your opponent, to be a wonderful teacher.
08:06He has won a hundred such wars.
08:09And now, you will mount your machine.
08:12The first war is to be fought until one of you is unable to continue.
08:20Scott, be careful.
08:22Keep your guard up, Skipper.
08:28The gladiators will take their place on the battle lines at either end of the arena.
08:35Let the war begin.
08:38Good afternoon, fellow citizens.
08:41In the blue chariot is Zokar, champion of Anthenia, victorious in over a hundred wars.
08:47Zokar, representative of the greatest culture in the universe, the supreme planet Anthenia.
08:56Now entering the arena, the red chariot carrying the Earthling, Scott McCloud.
09:02This will indeed be a glorious day for Anthenia.
09:06Once again, we shall prove the superior might of our planet through the efforts of Zokar.
09:16Zokar maneuvers into position.
09:19He prepares his battle attack.
09:23There goes Zokar!
09:27Obviously warming up the enemy citizens.
09:30No cause for alarm.
09:32I've seen him do this a hundred times.
09:35Again, Zokar maneuvers for position.
09:40The Earthling obviously has weak eyes.
09:44Watch the Earthling, Zokar. He appears tricky.
09:47Observe, citizens of Anthenia, the Earthling's puny efforts at battle.
09:51Kirsten, do you think you can make it to the Stardust Dunes without being seen?
09:55I can try.
09:56Then get going. Call the Space Council and see if we can get some help out here.
10:01Right, Taurus. See you later.
10:08Zokar is playing tectonic and dingo with him.
10:15Stop playing with the poor Earth creature, Zokar.
10:18You're beginning to frighten him.
10:21Put him out of his misery.
10:23Zokar fires.
10:25The Earthling is hit.
10:30Stay with him, Skiboot.
10:36Well, Earthling, what can we do for you?
10:46Zokar has scored the first blow.
10:49That's it. Run, Earthling.
10:53After him, Zokar. Catch the miserable insect and crush him.
10:58No guns.
11:18Your friend is stubborn. Already he has lost his weapons.
11:22We haven't lost yet. You watch.
11:27Merely a question of time.
11:31Sorry, Taurus. I didn't make it.
11:33Where did you find her?
11:35She was attempting to communicate with her galaxy.
11:38Good work, Colzar. Keep them both under guard.
11:42Citizens, now pay close attention.
11:44Our glorious champion now closes for the kill.
11:49Now, Zokar. Now, for Inferno. Now, for victory.
11:58Merciful Heavens!
12:00Get up, Nod.
12:02The Earthling has won.
12:04The Earthling has won.
12:06The Earthling has won.
12:08Merciful Heavens!
12:10Get up, Nod. Get up.
12:12Stop. Oh, stop.
12:14Our gladiator is still standing.
12:17It will appear that we have been victorious in the first war.
12:20Is he...
12:22Just unconscious, Chris. I'll take him.
12:24Since you are unable to continue the war,
12:27I hereby claim victory and the Beryllium asteroid for Anthinia and her planets.
12:33Hold on now. Who says we're unable to continue?
12:36But look at your man. He is unconscious.
12:38I challenge for the right to fight the next war.
12:41You? Very well. So shall it be.
12:45Prepare the next two gladiators for combat.
12:48If I may make a suggestion...
12:50Continue.
12:51Let's dispense with the toys.
12:53I wish to fight without weapons.
12:55We'll use our bare hands.
12:57You may not have the advantage of your strength.
13:00However, you may have your choice of weapons.
13:03The Earthling will have his choice of weapons.
13:06The double-headed poleaxe.
13:08The mobile spear tank cannon mobile.
13:12The shield and disintegrator robot.
13:15The atomic crossbow carrier.
13:19The mobile mace and...
13:23The paralyzer.
13:26I choose the mace. That's more like it.
13:29Agreed.
13:30Take your friend to the ready room and prepare yourself for combat.
13:33How are you feeling, lad?
13:36My head...
13:38What happened?
13:39You rammed the black robot.
13:41You did well, lad.
13:42But I'm afraid we lost the bout.
13:45Taurus.
13:46What about the next war?
13:49We haven't lost yet.
13:51Taurus is going to fight the next war with mace and shield.
13:54Ah, this is one party I wouldn't miss for anything.
13:57I should be fighting.
13:59No, lad. You're in no condition.
14:01Warriors.
14:02Man your machines.
14:05Okay, old bull.
14:08Go get them.
14:09The gladiators will take their positions on the starting lines.
14:13This contest will be a fight to the finish.
14:16The war will be over only when one of the gladiators is unable to continue.
14:23Be ready. The battle will begin at the signal from the leader.
14:27Let the war begin.
14:29Once again, Zokar must vanquish an Earthling.
14:32Now that he is warmed up, this should prove to be a simple task.
14:37The mace is most effective for close fighting.
14:40Make it quick, Zokar.
14:43Scott, I'm frightened.
14:44Don't worry, Chris.
14:46Taurus didn't come by his name accidentally.
14:49Watch him.
14:50Watch how quickly Zokar finds the range.
14:53This is it, citizens.
14:54This is it, citizens. Hold on to your helmets.
14:57Zokar will now make his move.
14:59Observe, citizens, how Zokar paints the Earthling on a position.
15:06Scott, this is brutal.
15:08I think Taurus can handle this.
15:10They're turning around.
15:11The last three battles fought with the mobile mace
15:14found Zokar an angry, vicious gladiator.
15:18This afternoon, he is the same.
15:20Watch, citizens, as our wonderful hero approaches with a slaughter.
15:23Goodbye, holy church ring. Take him, Zokar. Now.
15:27Taurus, he's been hit.
15:29No, he's okay, Chris.
15:31Just lost his windshield.
15:33The Earthling has lost his protective head guard.
15:35Just one more blow, Zokar.
15:40Look out, you fool.
15:42Get him, Zokar. Get him.
15:49He did it, Scott. Taurus won.
15:54The war is over.
15:56The white gladiator is victorious.
15:59We won this round, all right.
16:02I wonder what they have in store for us next.
16:05This round is yours.
16:07But for the last and final round,
16:10we will have the choice of weapons.
16:13Disintegrating rays.
16:17Disintegrator rays.
16:18Scott must fight in an unfamiliar machine using disintegrator rays.
16:22Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angel.
