SIR VIOLET An endless journey... How many years have I been drifting in space? I understand this is our destiny... the destiny of a people who have lost their mother planet. But... It is too long... I want to give those my sleeping daughters a mother land... a peaceful place. For that reason, I can even... No, I can't... It is not permissible. Maybe... it is our destiny to die off in this ship... There is a sudden disturbance in the ship. SIR VIOLET What happened!? VOICE Danger, Sir! A high energy disturbance has surrounded the ship, and we cannot escape! BIG GOLD I realize your wish... I realize your wish, Sir Violet. * * * * * A man runs, and stumbles. As he picks himself up, before him stands Iczer`One. The man's body begins to tremble, and he suddenly becomes a grotesque monster. Iczer One leaps up and destroys the monster with a blast of energy. * * * * * Above the Earth orbits the home base of the alien Cotuwolf. Within, two of its inhabitants, Cepia and Covalt, lie in their room talking. CEPIA So this is Earth? COVALT Yes, Cepia. CEPIA We will live in such a nice place? COVALT Yes, we will. CEPIA How about the natives - are they strong? Will there be a war? COVALT We already have data. The Bedem can take care of the natives. CEPIA Just the Bedem? Then it will be easy! Cepia and Covalt kiss. VOICE Covalt! COVALT Y-yes! VOICE Sir Violet calls you. COVALT I'll be there at once! The scene switches to a large room within the alien planet. COVALT You called me, Sir Violet? SIR VIOLET Covalt. COVALT Yes! SIR VIOLET You have been chosen to be the commander of Delos Theta. COVALT I have? I am very grateful, Sir Violet. But will I go to the planet? SIR VIOLET The presence of Iczer One on Earth has been confirmed. COVALT Iczer One? SIR VIOLET The Bedems on Earth have been attacked by Iczer One, and Iczer One has already found her partner and is trying to contact her. If she synchronizes with her partner, and her potential is awakened, she will be our greatest threat. We have to destroy her now. First we kill her partner. If we fail, then you, Covalt, must destroy Iczer One. * * * * * Fight, Iczer One!! * * * * * The scene switches to the house of Nagisa Kano and her parents. It is early morning, and Nagisa is still asleep in her bed. ICZER ONE (disembodied voice) Nagisa... Nagisa... Nagisa... Nagisa awakens, and from looking at the clock on the wall, realizes it is very late in the morning. NAGISA Oh, my God! Downstairs, Nagisa's mother and father (referred to as "Mama" and "Papa" by Nagisa) are in the kitchen. NAGISA Good morning! Why didn't you wake me? MAMA (sarcastically) How much sleep do you need? I did wake you up. NAGISA Are you sure? PAPA Did you stay up late last night? NAGISA I was listening to a late broadcast on the radio. MAMA Will you eat breakfast, Nagisa? NAGISA Nah, it's all right. I don't want to be late for school. See you later! As Nagisa is walking to school, she sees Iczer One leaning against a tree on the side of the road. NAGISA (thinking to herself) Who is she? What a strange outfit. Is that for some costume play? Nagisa's friend, Mami, approaches. MAMI Nagisa! What are you doing? You'll be late! NAGISA Mami! Look! Nagisa points toward the tree where Iczer One was, but Iczer One has disappeared. NAGISA What! She's not there! MAMI What? Oh, my God! Come on, we'll be late! Iczer One watches from high in the tree as Mami and Nagisa run off towards the school. * * * * * Later, in class... TEACHER All right, the test will be from now until 10:30. If you finish early, you may leave the classroom. ICZER ONE (disembodied voice) Nagisa... Nagisa... Nagisa looks out the window, and sees a ball bouncing up and down, by itself. All of a sudden, the ball launches itself at the window, breaking through. Nagisa looks up, and she is now alone in the classroom. NAGISA What's going on? W-Where is everyone? Nagisa looks in front of her and sees one of her classmates - so she thinks. The back of the girl's head parts and a large slimy head reaches toward Nagisa. Iczer One hovers outside the classroom window. The creature hisses, and disappears back into the girl's head. Nagisa has shut her eyes in fear. TEACHER Miss Kano! We are having a test! Stop that! Nagisa opens her eyes to find the classroom and her classmates unchanged. NAGISA What happened? TEACHER Miss Kano! NAGISA I think I was daydreaming... TEACHER Daydreaming? After class, Nagisa and her classmates are on the roof of the school. NAGISA A dream? Was that really a dream? Mami comes up to talk to Nagisa. MAMI Nagisa? Are you depressed? NAGISA Of course I'm depressed! MAMI Come on! But you were funny! NAGISA Give me a break! MAMI You just stood up and screamed! "Oh no!" I think that's funny! NAGISA Mami! You are making me mad! MAMI Sorry, sorry! (laughing) NAGISA You. . . Hey, Mami! Nagisa grabs Mami on the shoulder, and turns her around, to find Mami has changed... NAGISA M-Mami! Nagisa looks around to find everyone on the roof has changed just like Mami. The creatures begin to surround Nagisa. NAGISA Don't come near me! Don't, don't! Nagisa is hurled off the roof toward the ground below. NAGISA Nooooooo! A globe of energy surrounds Nagisa and lowers her gently to the ground. Iczer One appears beside her. ICZER ONE Are you all right, Nagisa? NAGISA Please help me! Nagisa gets up and runs away. * * * * * SIR VIOLET is in Big Gold's chamber, telling her of the current situation. SIR VIOLET I am sorry, Big Gold. I didn't expect Iczer One would get to the planet before us. Big Gold does not speak in words, but in sounds. SIR VIOLET Yes... I am already taking care of the situation. (pause) Y-yes... Yes, ma'am. However... The natives are weak and cowardly, so that even if that girl unites with Iczer One, I don't think Iczer One's potential can be fully realized. (pause) Yes, yes, ma'am. I understand. I will launch the Delos Theta. Please do not worry, Big Gold. I will destroy Iczer One and the girl. * * * * * Back in Nagisa's house, Nagisa is taking a shower, and thinking about the conversation with her mother just a few minutes before. MAMA Oh, Nagisa. When did you get back? NAGISA Uh... just a few minutes ago. MAMA Why don't you take a shower? NAGISA All right. Nagisa looks in a mirror while reflecting on the day's events. NAGISA (thinking) I woke up on my own bed... What is going on? Is this a dream? No, it's not. Nagisa enters her parent's bedroom. MAMA Nagisa, what happened? NAGISA Say, Mama, do you mind if I sleep with you tonight? Please, please! MAMA I guess it's OK... You are such a funny girl! Nagisa jumps on the bed with her mother. NAGISA Thank you! Good night! * * * * * Iczer One watches the house from outside, sitting on a stone fence. All of a sudden, her surroundings change and she finds herself in another dimension that the aliens have brought her to. ICZER ONE Warpspace! Damn! * * * * * ( The word "warpspace" is used for lack of a better term. The literal translation of "Ikukan" is "strange space" or "strange dimension", but Iczer One uses the term as a name rather than as a description.) Nagisa has awakened, gotten dressed and come downstairs for breakfast. PAPA Good morning, Nagisa. NAGISA Good morning! MAMA Good morning, little one! NAGISA Don't tease me! PAPA Ha ha ha! Today is Sunday, why don't we go out? NAGISA Really, Papa? Great, isn't it, Mama? Nagisa's mother turns around and suddenly transforms into a hideous monster. NAGISA Mama! Mama! Nagisa's father also becomes a grotesque creature. NAGISA Mama! Papa! The creatures who were once Nagisa's parents begin to approach her. NAGISA No... No... Papa... Mama... No. * * * * * Back in the other dimension, Iczer one fights a large armored creature, and defeats it. After the monster is destroyed, Iczer One hears Nagisa's voice: NAGISA Help! Papa! Mama! In Nagisa's kitchen, two large hands emerge from the wall and hold Nagisa tight. NAGISA No... Stop! As the creatures prepare to kill Nagisa, "Mama" is struck down by an unseen enemy. "Papa" soon shares the same fate. Iczer One appears in the kitchen. ICZER ONE Nagisa! Iczer One takes her sword and sticks it into the floor of the kitchen. The monster holding Nagisa screams and disappears. * * * * * On the alien's base, Covalt is walking down a hall, preparing to go to Earth in Delos Theta to battle with Iczer One. Cepia comes running up the hall to speak with Covalt. CEPIA Covalt! COVALT Cepia. CEPIA Are you going to battle? COVALT Yes. CEPIA Do your best, Covalt! COVALT Trust me. I will destroy Iczer One. Now, I'm going. While you wait for me, be a nice girl. CEPIA (thinking) Come back soon, Covalt! From within the alien base, Delos Theta launches in a large ball of energy and heads toward Earth. * * * * * Back in Nagisa's kitchen... ICZER ONE Are you all right, Nagisa? NAGISA Who. . . Who are you? ICZER ONE I am Iczer One. I am on your side. NAGISA Papa! Mama! Tell me what happened to Papa and Mama! ICZER ONE I am sorry, Nagisa. It's all my fault that your parents became monsters. NAGISA It's a lie! Those were not my parents! ICZER ONE Your parent's bodies were taken over. Once the were taken over, there was no hope. NAGISA No! Why? Why did it happen? ICZER ONE It's because I chose you as my partner. I was going to protect you and your parents. NAGISA Give them back! Give me back my papa and mama! ICZER ONE Nagisa, Cotuwolf is trying to take over this planet! Please give me your help! NAGISA No! Give me back my papa and mama! * * * * * Outside, in the city, people on the street see Delos Theta approaching as a great ball of energy. CAMILLE What is that coming? (Look carefully at the speaker - it is Camille Vidan from "Zeta Gundam", and the girl on his arm is Fa Yuri!) Delos Theta lands in the city streets, causing much destruction. Iczer One and Nagisa are still in the kitchen when Iczer One realizes what is transpiring. ICZER ONE Delos! Delos Theta! NAGISA No! No! ICZER ONE I can understand your feelings, but right now... NAGISA Leave me alone! ICZER ONE Let's go! Iczer One grabs Nagisa tight and teleports away with her. * * * * * Covalt tramps about in the city, crushing cars and buildings. COVALT Come on, Iczer One! * * * * * Within a secret base, Fuji No. 1 is being launched to battle Delos Theta. As it approaches the city, many people note its arrival. MAN ON STREET Look! Fuji No. 1! COVALT What is that? The Fuji No. 1 approaches Delos Theta and prepares for battle. PILOT Open fire! Open fire! The Fuji No. 1 fires missiles and a laser at Delos Theta, to no effect. COVALT Hahaha! How cute! Covalt fires the Delos Theta's weapons at the Fuji No. 1, taking it out with one shot. PILOT (gibberish) ....... * * * * * Iczer One and Nagisa look on from a nearby rooftop. NAGISA Fuji No. 1... ICZER ONE It's useless against Delos. I will call Iczer Robo. Nagisa, let's fight! NAGISA No way! Why do I have to fight with such a monster? ICZER ONE Now, Nagisa! Iczer One teleports away with Nagisa. From high in the atmosphere, a bright beam shines down into the city. From within, out steps Iczer Robo. NAGISA A robot! ICZER ONE It is part of me. Now, Nagisa! NAGISA No! ICZER ONE On this planet, you are the only one who can unite with Iczer Robo. Don't you want to protect your planet? NAGISA I don't want to! Nagisa runs down the street. Iczer One leaps up and enters Iczer Robo. A beam of light shines from Iczer Robo's chest, engulfing Nagisa and pulling her within it. NAGISA What is this? ICZER ONE You are inside Iczer Robo. Nagisa! Please synchronize with me! NAGISA You are cruel! Get me out of here! ICZER ONE Are you ready? We are going, Nagisa! Iczer Robo walks through the city, to meet with Delos Theta. COVALT Iczer Robo! Iczer Robo tackles Delos Theta. ICZER ONE Stop! This is your end! COVALT So, finally you are here, Iczer One! I was waiting for you! Delos Theta fires its weapons, knocking Iczer Robo into a nearby building. Delos Theta fires more weapons, but Iczer Robo has leapt up and is attacking Delos Theta from above. COVALT What? Delos Theta knocks Iczer Robo away and onto the ground. COVALT (laughing) Delos Theta is much more powerful! Iczer Robo is no match! ICZER ONE Nagisa! Please give me your power! Your power! NAGISA Get me out! Get me out of here! ICZER ONE Nagisa, why don't you fight? Why do you only think of yourself? Protect your planet! Avenge your parents! NAGISA Avenge. . . Avenge my papa and mama. . . . Papa! Mama! Iczer Robo stands up. NAGISA I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you! Iczer Robo raises its arms and prepares to fire at Delos Theta. NAGISA Go away!!! Iczer Robo blasts Delos Theta with a mighty blow, sending Delos Theta sprawling in the streets. COVALT What. . . . What is this power? Iczer Robo approaches Delos Theta and firmly places its fist within Delos Theta's cockpit, killing Covalt. Afterward, Iczer Robo returns to its extra-dimensional place of storage. * * * * * Back on the alien base, Cepia weeps over Covalt's death. SIR VIOLET Poor Cepia... Stop crying. Being a soldier, you understand... CEPIA Yes, Sir Violet. Iczer One will be destroyed by my own hand! SIR VIOLET Cepia. Cute girl. * * * * * Iczer One holds Nagisa in the devastated streets. NAGISA Papa... Mama... NARRATOR "The invasion of the alien cutowolf is not yet complete. Do your best, Nagisa. Fight, Iczer One!"
