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.
00:29If you can hear me, please come in.
00:32This is Starduster.
00:34What's the excitement, Professor?
00:36Over.
00:36You know that asteroid crystal discovered in Vector 5?
00:40Yeah, what about it?
00:42Scott, get this.
00:44That little gem contains over 80 percent beryllium.
00:48What's the mass, Professor?
00:50It's one half of Earth's moon.
00:52Holy cats, what a find.
00:55It's important that we get to the asteroid before an outsider discovers this information.
01:01It's up to you, Scott.
01:02We're on our way, Professor.
01:04Out here.
01:11I feel like a lucky prospector.
01:13Oh, we've got company.
01:15What is it, Taurus?
01:16Another ship headed toward our asteroid.
01:19Looks like we have a race.
01:20Hang on.
01:26Taurus, turn on the forward muse code.
01:28Aye, Skipper.
01:30I don't recognize this ship.
01:32It's not from our solar system.
01:34Anthenians.
01:36No question about it.
01:37Think we can beat them?
01:38We'll sure try.
01:56Standby for landing.
01:57Aye, Skipper.
01:58Freezing crystal.
02:000.4 gravity.
02:01Standby.
02:02Firing retrorocket.
02:25We beat them.
02:44What's our line?
02:53Follow 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.
03:13We have a protective beam surrounding you and your ship.
03:17But why?
03:18We were here first.
03:20The intergalaxy law determines that this is our asteroid by right of first touchdown.
03:25Laws.
03:26Anthenians have their own laws.
03:28And by the right of possession, this asteroid is ours.
03:32This matter must be arbitrated before the Interplanetary Space Council.
03:37We will settle this before the Anthenian space advisors.
03:41They will know what to do.
03:46Of course, Ray.
03:47I can't move.
03:50Oh, to think you could outwit an Anthenian.
03:55The girl must come with me.
03:57Leave the lass alone, you monkey.
03:59If I could move, I'd...
04:02I couldn't reach my disintegrated right.
04:06Why are you taking the girl?
04:07She can't help you.
04:09To make sure you follow us to Anthenia.
04:12Skipper, we can't leave crystal.
04:14I know.
04:16I'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.
04:24And if they harm that lass, they'll be sorry they ever saw this day.
04:43Should we notify the Space Council?
04:45Not while they have crystal.
04:47No, we'll have to play by their rules for now.
04:50Well, it won't be long now.
04:52There's our destination.
05:17Stand 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.
06:09I'm sure glad that's over.
06:10Me too.
06:12That belt of asteroids is what makes the Anthenians so arrogant.
06:15It's the finest defense barrier in this galaxy.
06:18Aye, Skipper.
06:20From the air, they're a mean planet.
06:21Stay ahead.
06:31Stand by for landing.
06:32We're entering atmosphere.
06:41According to inter-galaxy law, the 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.
07:14War.
07:15War!
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.
07:26You will have a good fight, Earthling, against our champions.
07:30You will have the privilege of fighting three wars.
07:33If you win two of the three, the brilliant asteroid is yours.
07:37And if we lose?
07:39To lose is to die.
07:41This meeting is adjourned to the arena.
07:48The first war will be fought with telemobiles.
07:52I presume I'll have time to practice the operation of this toy.
07:56You will get plenty of practice when the war begins.
08:00Real 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.
08:48Zokar, 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.
09:17Zokar maneuvers into position.
09:19He prepares his battle attack.
09:24There goes Zokar.
09:27Obviously warming up this enemy citizen.
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.
09:45He appears tricky.
09:46Observe, citizens.
09:48Anthenia, the Earthling's puny efforts at battle.
09:52Do you think you can make it to the Starduster without being seen?
09:55I can try.
09:56Then get going.
09:58Call the space council and see if we can get some help out here.
10:01Right, Taurus.
10:02See you later.
10:04Zokar is playing tectonic and dingo with him.
10:15Stop playing with the poor Earth creature, Zokar.
10:18You're beginning to frighten him.
10:22Put him out of his misery.
10:24Zokar fires.
10:26The Earthling is hit.
10:30Stay with him, Skiboot.
10:35Well, Earthling, what can we do for you?
10:46Zokar has scored the first blow.
10:49That's it, run, Earthling.
10:54After him, Zokar.
10:55Catch the miserable insect and plunge him.
10:59No guns.
11:05Your friend is stubborn.
11:20Already he has lost his weapons.
11:22We haven't lost yet.
11:24You watch.
11:27Merely a question of time.
11:32Sorry, Taurus, I didn't make it.
11:34Where did you find her?
11:36She was attempting to communicate with her galaxy.
11:38Good work, Colesaur.
11:40Keep them both under guard.
11:51Citizens, now pay close attention.
11:53Our glorious champion now closes for the kill.
11:58Now, Zokar.
11:59Now, for Infineon.
12:01Now, for victory.
12:04Oh, my God.
12:09Get up, Lunt.
12:11Get up.
12:12Stop.
12:14Our gladiator is still standing.
12:17It would appear that we have been victorious in the first war.
12:21Is he...
12:22Just unconscious, Chris.
12:23I'll take him.
12:25Since you are unable to continue the war,
12:27I hereby claim victory and the Beryllium asteroid
12:31for Infineon and her planets.
12:33Hold on, now.
12:34Who says we're unable to continue?
12:36But look at your man.
12:38He is unconscious.
12:39I challenge for the right to fight the next war.
12:42You?
12:43Very well.
12:44So shall it be.
12:46Prepare the next two gladiators for combat.
12:48If I may make a suggestion...
12:50Continue.
12:51Let's dispense with the toys.
12:54I wish to fight without weapons.
12:56We'll use our bare hands.
12:58You may not have the advantage of your strength.
13:00However, you may have your choice of weapons.
13:04The Earthling will have his choice of weapons.
13:06The double-headed poleaxe.
13:09The mobile spear tank cannon mobile.
13:12The shield and disintegrator robot.
13:15The atomic crossbow carrier.
13:19The mobile mace and...
13:23The paralyzer.
13:27I choose the mace.
13:28That's more like it.
13:30Agreed.
13:31Take your friend to the ready room and prepare yourself for combat.
13:34How are you feeling, lad?
13:35Hello.
13:37My head.
13:39What happened?
13:40You rammed the black robot.
13:42You did well, lad.
13:43But I'm afraid we lost the bout.
13:46Taurus.
13:48What about the next war?
13:50We haven't lost yet.
13:52Taurus is going to fight the next war with mace and shield.
13:55Aye, this is one party I wouldn't miss for anything.
13:58I should be fighting.
14:00No, lad.
14:01You're in no condition.
14:02Warriors, man your machines.
14:06Okay, old bull.
14:09Go get them.
14:10The gladiators will take their positions on the starting lines.
14:14This contest will be a fight to the finish.
14:18The war will be over only when one of the gladiators is unable to continue.
14:24Be ready.
14:25The battle will begin at the signal from the leader.
14:29Let the war begin.
14:31Once again, Zokar must vanquish an Earthling.
14:34Now that he is warmed up, this should prove to be a simple task.
14:39The mace is most effective for close fighting.
14:42Make it quick, Zokar.
14:45Scott, I'm frightened.
14:46Don't worry, Chris.
14:48Taurus didn't come by his name accidentally.
14:51Watch him.
14:52Watch how quickly Zokar fights the rain.
14:54This is it, citizens.
14:56Hold on to your helmets.
14:57Zokar will now make his move.
14:59Observe, citizens, how Zokar paints the Earthling on a position.
15:06Oh, Scott, 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, foolish Earthling.
15:25Take him, Zokar.
15:26Now!
15:28He's been hit.
15:29No, he's okay, Chris.
15:31Just lost his windshield.
15:33The Earthling has lost his protective head guard.
15:36Just one more blow, Zokar.
15:40Look out, you fool.
15:42Get him, Zokar.
15:44Get him.
15:49He did it, Scott.
15:51Taurus 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.
16:06This round is yours, but for the last and final round,
16:10we will have the choice of weapons.
16:14Disintegrating rays.
16:17Disintegrator rays.
16:18Scott must fight in an unfamiliar machine using disintegrator rays.
16:23Don't miss the next exciting episode of Space Angel.
