Inside the spaceship, Sir Violet is lying down on a sofa, looking at deep
space though the window, and thinking.

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!"
