Uitzenddatum: Apr 07, 2013

In the year 2199, Earth is ravaged by attacks from alien beings of the planet, Gamilus, which have devastated the surface of the Earth and forced what remains of mankind to take shelter underground. To save the Earth, the last of the Earth's space forces must distract the Gamilan forces while a non-Gamilan ship, code named "Amaterasu", races to Mars to deliver the Wave Motion Activation Core to the Earthlings. While Captain Mamoru Kodai contains the enemy attack to allow fellow captain Juzo Okita to escape with his forces, Mamoru's brother Susumu and his friend Daisuke Shima investigate the "Amaterasu" that crashed on Mars. Inside the wreckage there is a deceased alien female, the lone messenger sent to Earth to make a critical delivery to the Earthlings. Susumu and Daisuke return to Earth on the Kirishima, their only ship to return from the battle at Pluto. On the Kirishima, Susumu learns of his brother's death. When the Kirishima reaches Earth, Susumu Kodai looks for Captain Okita to confirm whether his brother was sacrificed in vain and meets Yuki Mori, who directs him to the hospital wing. Kodai confronts Okita, who claims responsibly that it was he who led Mamoru to his death.
