Notes: Yup, another A-ko script from me (gee, think he likes that
series?), and as with all the previous ones, it's done from the HK dub
rather than the originals.  Keep that in mind if you find the plot
outlined in a synopsis doesn't quite match this script.  I've heard some
mumblings on GEnie about USMC acquiring the rights to this OAV, but
they're just that, mumblings.  Until that's a reality, enjoy!

[View of a cityscape at night.  Pan up, then cut back and forth between
various scenes inside the ship and the cityscape.]

Radio (male voice): And now another news brief.  Three weeks ago, a
large spacecraft crashed into the tower, I'm sure everyone's noticed it.
The damaged spacecraft has been converted into a resort facility.  Inside,
there's a 30,000 room hotel, and other recreational facilities.  The
ship has attracted guests from all over the globe, and business aboard
it has been booming.
(Translator's note- The word the newscaster used for "resort" is a form
that is usually only used in written material, indicating a stiff, very
dry, formal delivery of these lines.)

[Inside a restaurant, A-ko and her parents are having dinner]

A-ko (to herself): Oh boy, vacation's almost here! (Wolfs down a potato)
Well, I could really use the time off!

Waitress: Your order is here.

A-ko (to herself): Mom and Dad are going to America on business... and
leaving me all alone... I'm going to suffer...

(What kid ever thought Mom and Dad leaving town for a month would be
a bad thing?!)

Wonder Woman (A-ko's mom) (to herself): What an appetite!

Wonder Woman: Looks like you're going to add about three inches to your
waist before vacation's over.  Poor thing, are you unhappy?

A-ko: Don't worry, I exercise!  Why aren't you guys eating?  This stuff
tastes great!

Superman (A-ko's dad): She's worse than before. (starts to cry)

(Apparently A-ko's father sees A-ko's voracious appetite as a sign of
some unwellness.)

A-ko: Dad, don't take it so hard!  It's only four weeks, you'll be back
real soon!

[Cut to view of the ship.]

[Title- Project A-ko 2]

[Pan down to A-ko's house]

[Captain Napolipolita is on TV.  Note the caption "Miss Napolipolita"]

Host (male voice): Let's have a word with the owner of the resort,
Mister Napolipolita.  So what's the story here?

Napolipolita: I'd like to make it clear that we have no ulterior motives
here.

Dee: We know Earth people enjoy these kinds of places, but we're not out
to reap any illegal profits.  Perhaps we'll be able to bring the ship

down with...

[Napolipolita covers Dee's trap with his hands.]

Napolipolita: Shut up, you better leave the talking to me!

Napolipolita: We'd just like to be friends with the people of Earth, that's
all.

[Napolipolita puckers up as if he were to kiss the camera.]

Host: That's it, straight from the top.  The defenses on that ship
are the most powerful things know to man, the last skirmish was a
humbling experience for the Earth government.  I'm sure they wouldn't
like another taste of it.  And now for another word from our sponsor.

[C-ko arrives and rings the doorbell.  A-ko awakens, and realizes she's
late again.]

C-ko: Good morning!  It's time for school!

A-ko: !!!!

A-ko: I'm dead!  It's so late!  I'm late! I'm late!

C-ko: Good morning A-ko!

A-ko: C-ko, you're here already?

C-ko: Hurry up, we're going to be late!

[A-ko's shirt lands on C-ko.  When was the last time you threw your PJs
on your friend's head rather than the bed/floor/ceiling lamp?]

A-ko: Wait a second, I'm almost ready.

[A-ko blasts through the door, snatches C-ko, and performs her patented
road-runner imitation.]

A-ko: Let's take a shortcut!

[Dee, apparently a little wiser than before, has decided to observe
C-ko's trip to school from the safety of a tree.]

Dee: Princess... I'll wait for you here everyday, until we can go back
to our planet.  Why is she so late today?

[Dee's newly found wisdom fails him/her.]

Dee (airborne): Princess!

[Cut to a front view of the school.  Pan down, A-ko and C-ko stumble in
the gate, exhausted.  Cut to a closeup of a cicada on a tree.  C-ko
crouches down to take a close look at it.]

C-ko: Look!  A-ko, take a look!  What is it?

A-ko: It's a cicada's shirt, don't you know anything?

C-ko: Is there a naked cicada around here?

A-ko: Let's get going!

C-ko: Ok.

[Cut to the hallway outside the classroom.]

Ayui (from within): Well, I'm sure you all know today's the last day of
the semester.

[Cut to inside the classroom, a medium view of Miss Ayui.]

Ayui: Tomorrow's the start of vacation!

[Cheers in the classroom]

Ayui (offscreen): I know you all worked very hard during exams.

B-ko (to herself): A-ko and C-ko are as usual, late without fail.

Ayui (offscreen): So make sure you have fun this vacation, but don't get
so out of-

[A-ko and C-ko enter the classroom]

C-ko (interrupting): Good morning!  Hello everyone!

C-ko: Good morning Miss Ayui!

Ayui (scolding): A-ko, C-ko, today's the last day of school.  Couldn't
you at least be on time today?  You wanted to play hooky, didn't you?

C-ko: No, no!  I've got a present for you!  It's a cicada's shirt!

Ayui: Cicada's shirt?  Oh, it's a cicada shell!

C-ko: What?!  Cicada's have shells?!

A-ko: Sit down!  You talk too much!

C-ko: It's over after today!

Ayui: Quiet everyone.  I hope you all have a carefree vacation.

C-ko: Yes! Great! I'll definitely be very happy!  Awesome!

Ayui: Cheer up people, you're always so quiet and lifeless.  

C-ko: I'm in a good mood!

Ayui: Well, here are your report cards.

C-ko: Ohhhh... now I'm depressed!

[Outside, A-ko and C-ko are walking out of the school.]

C-ko: Vacation starts tomorrow, what do you want to do, huh?

A-ko: C-ko, why don't we go swimming?

[One of B-ko's posse is following them with a mic, probably Ine since
she isn't with the others on the balcony]

C-ko: Yeah, sounds good!  We'll go together!

[Cut to view of B-ko's receiver]

A-ko (over radio): Ok, at ten.

C-ko (over radio): Ok, we'll go to the pool tomorrow!

[Cut to medium view of B-ko, Asa, Ume and part of Marie.]

A-ko (over radio): Don't be late!

B-ko: I won't let you have C-ko all to yourself A-ko.  Just watch!

[C-ko is waiting for A-ko in front of the pool.]

C-ko (to herself): Flex those muscles, flex those muscles, flex those
muscles...

[A-ko comes running up to the poolhouse.]

C-ko: Hi!  A-ko!

A-ko: C-ko, good morning!

C-ko: Good morning!

[Inside the locker room.]

C-ko: A-ko...

A-ko: What?

[C-ko has changed in a flash and is ready to go, with tube and all.]

C-ko: You still haven't changed?

A-ko: You're changed already?!

C-ko: Ok, well I'll go ahead.

A-ko: Wait, wait!

[A-ko changes.]

A-ko: All set!

[Cut to birds eye view of the pool.  Zoom out.  Then, a woman jumps off
a low diving board and swims a lap.]

[A-ko stretches, until the woman's impressive moves grab her attention.]

C-ko: Wow!  She's really good!

C-ko: It's Miss Ayui!

[Pan up Ayui's body.  She seems a little out of it.]

Ayui (shocked): What are you doing here?!

A-ko/C-ko: !!!!

C-ko: Miss Ayui, you're really good!

A-ko: yeah!

C-ko: Why don't you show me your moves A-ko?

A-ko: Err, ok.

[A-ko dives in and kicks up a rather tall column of water.]

C-ko: Awesome!  Keep it up!

[A-ko doesn't surface.  A brown haired woman swims into C-ko/Ayui's line
of sight, then quickly swims away.  Is this a cameo by a well known
anime character I'm not familiar with?]

C-ko: ?

C-ko: Is A-ko ok?  I hope nothing's wrong!  Miss Ayui, do you think
something's wrong?  She hasn't come back up yet!

Ayui: Well you know, the Trident went down in 1960, and it still
hasn't come back up yet.

C-ko: I wonder if A-ko wants to discover its secrets.

[C-ko sticks her head in the water and sees A-ko stuck on the bottom of
the pool.]

C-ko: A-ko, don't die!

[A rather uncomfortable A-ko is lying on the pool deck.]

A-ko: Ohhh... I thought I was dead already...

B-ko: You're here as well?  What a coincidence.

[B-ko and Marie have arrived.]

A-ko (to herself): You again!

A-ko (angry and offscreen): B-ko why are you always annoying me and C-ko?!

C-ko (bouncing): Oh, that's so cute!  How cute!  How cute!

[Marie smiles and growls]

[A-ko and B-ko have set themselves up on diving boards.]

B-ko: Why don't we make a little bet?  Whoever wins gets to go out with
C-ko tonight.  Are you game?

A-ko: Of course!

C-ko: Hey, wait up!  A-ko, I want to swim too!  Here I come!

[C-ko jumps in the pool]

B-ko: Ready.

B-ko: Set.

C-ko: Hurry, get in!  Let's swim!  Get in!

B-ko: Go!

[Marie jumps in and empties the pool.  A-ko, B-ko and C-ko are thrown
out of the pool.]

B-ko: !!

C-ko: Ohhhh.... I'm sore and stiff all over!

[A pair of spies are seated at a table.  One is reading the Mainchi
Daily News.  Marie is applying suntan oil to B-ko's back.]

B-ko: I'm furious!  You ruined my bet with A-ko!  I'm very angry right
now!  I'll have to design another machine tonight!

[B-ko's chair collapses under her]

B-ko: How many times do I have to tell you not to use so much force!

[A-ko and C-ko are seated under an umbrella.]

A-ko: It's about time.  C-ko, let's get a bite.  I'm hungry!

[C-ko shows her fangs.  A-ko gets worried.]

[C-ko produces some of her home cooking]

C-ko: Here A-ko!

A-ko: Errr, now that I think about it, I'm not hungry at all!  No
thanks!  I don't want any!

C-ko: A-ko, I made this just for you!  I know it tastes good, give it a
try ok?

C-ko: Give it a try!

Dee: How are you doing?

C-ko: Hi Dee!

[Cut to a view of the Mainchi Daily News, then back to Dee.]

A-ko (offscreen): Say, would you like to try some of C-ko's cooking?

Dee (to him/herself): The Princess made it... I have to.

Dee: Sure, I'd really like to give it a try!

C-ko: You're in luck, you've got a chance to try my cooking!

Dee: Thank you so much.

C-ko: You don't like it?

Dee: Of course not.

C-ko: Well then, don't be shy, have some more!  Actually, you can finish
it!

Dee: Of course.

A-ko (to herself): Thank god you showed up!

Dee: Princess, I have a request.  I'd like you to come with me.

A-ko: There's no need for you to say anymore!  You're trying to kidnap
C-ko again, aren't you?!

Dee: No, No!  That won't happen, the spaceship isn't going anywhere for
now.  We're just going to try to live quietly on this planet.

[Dee is begining to feel the effects of C-ko's food.]

Dee: Princess, take a look at this.

C-ko: Hmmm... A-ko, look!  The Rainbow pool!

A-ko: Rainbow pool?

Dee: It's part of our plan to turn the ship into a resort center.

C-ko: I really want to see it!

Dee: Then let's get going.

A-ko: Deee... I know you're not going to charge us, right?

Dee: You've got an invitation, of course we won't charge you.

A-ko/C-ko (clapping): Awesome!

Dee: Yes.

[Daitsuke's office.]

Secretary: Sir, I have the report you requested.

Daitsuke: Thank you.

Secretary: Errr, do you have any plans tonight?

Daitsuke: I'm very busy.  Perhaps some other night.

[Daitsuke makes his way to B-ko's room.]

[B-ko is drafting and cackling.]

[Daitsuke opens the door and is startled by the whiteprint blocking his
way.]

Daitsuke: !! What's going on here?

B-ko: A masterpiece!  I'll definitely win this time!  Ohh!  Daddy!

Daitsuke: B-ko, you're designing another machine?

B-ko: Yes, daddy.

Daitsuke: Ah, this?  This is...?

Daitsuke (getting angry): B-ko!  Do you know how much it'll cost to do
something like this?!  I have to cut back right now!

Daitsuke: Do you understand?!

B-ko: I understand.

designs.]

[On Napolipolita's ship.]

A-ko: I don't believe it!  We're feasting like royalty on a spaceship!

Napolipolita: This is a private section of the ship, ordinary guests aren't
allowed in here.  I hope you enjoy it.

C-ko: Yes!

[A-ko and C-ko gorge themselves while Napolipolita attends to his daily
alcohol requirements.]

A-ko (with a mouthful): What a feast!

C-ko: ?

[Napolipolita begins to cry.  C-ko places her hand on his forehead, as if
she were checking for a fever.]

C-ko: What's wrong?

Napolipolita: Princess...

Napolipolita: I want to go home!  Back to my planet!  Help us!

A-ko: That's impossible.  This ship can't take off, right?

[Napolipolita drops to the floor.]

Napolipolita: I beg... (moan) I beg you, help us, please!

[Napolipolita cries.]

C-ko (crying): They're suffering so much, think of something!

A-ko: I can't do anything.  I don't know what to do.  I'm sorry...
but I'll try to think of something, ok?

[Daitsuke's office.]

Daitsuke: Dai-Fu is it you?  Daitsuke here, have you figured anything
out yet?
(Translator's note- Dai-Fu could mean large pants, or maybe not, my
grasp of Cantonese isn't good enough to let me know if I should take it
literally or not.  But I figure it probably does mean that, because this
guy is a fat assed bureaucrat.)

Daitsuke: That so?  Nothing yet?  Then I think we can cooperate on this.
We've just developed a new weapon.

[B-ko is about to knock on the door, but stops when she hears her father
speak of the new weapon.]

Daitsuke: (laughs) You must be joking.

Dai-Fu (over the phone): But I heard that resort is taking in the public
with open arms.

Daitsuke: Leave that to me.  I'll take care of it.  No matter what the
cost, I'll get that ship.  If there any difficulties, we can pool our
resources.  Don't worry, I've got a plan.  That strange girl is my
daughter's classmate C-ko, if I wanted to kidnap her, I could have it
done before you say it.  (laughs) Don't say that...

B-ko (to herself): C-ko?

Daitsuke (inside office): I've heard that many countries are interested
in that ship.  I'll definitely act quickly.

B-ko (to herself): What is the meaning of this?

[Outside Napolipolita's ship.  A-ko is attempting to install some sort
of device, an engine perhaps, but only succeeds in breaking off a piece
of the ship and nearly falling.]

C-ko: A-ko!

C-ko: A-ko are you all right?

A-ko: Ohhhhhh, this sucks!

Napolipolita: It's no use.

C-ko: Don't worry, I'll think of something by tomorrow.  Don't worry!

[Night time.  View of cityscape, pan down to a heliport.  A spotlight is
turned on, and it highlights Daitsuke.]

Daitsuke: Thank you all for attending this meeting.  The reason I asked
you all here is to discuss the matter of the ship that arrived three
weeks ago.

Daitsuke (angry): Listen up!!

Daitsuke (offscreen): The Earth Defense forces and our weapons are
useless against it.  But we've sweated a bit, and developed a new
machine.  I call it the Daitsuke Super Special Ultimate 5 M.K.I.

[Dai-Fu is getting angry as Daitsuke speaks, but he is awed when the
spotlight highlights the M.K.I.]

Daitsuke: You can call her Marilyn three.  This weapon is very complete,
inside there is a drill that can penetrate 500 millimeters of steel plate. 
There are powerful missiles that can destroy any material.  This machine
is the most powerful weapon developed by man!  The materials used in its
construction are the finest, this is a weapon to be feared!
So what do you think?  Dai-Fu, this machine is certainly capable of
attacking the ship!

it!

[Daitsuke grabs Dai-Fu by his shirt.]

Daitsuke: Dai-Fu!  Don't even think of damaging that ship!  That ship
has very advanced technologies on board, I need it for research!

Dai-Fu: That's not possible!  We can't do that!

Daitsuke: Look!  I've stowed some anti personnel pods here, you can use
them to neutralize their ability to defend themselves!  I leave this
matter in your hands!

Dai-Fu: I understand!

bath in here!  This is great!

Napolipolita: Hmmm?

A-ko: Is there any chance that the ship will be able to take off on its
own?

Napolipolita: The control systems were all destroyed.

A-ko: Well even so, I don't want you trying to kidnap C-ko again.

Napolipolita: I don't think there's anyone who could repair this ship.

waiting.]

C-ko: Hey!  Hey, A-ko!

A-ko: C-ko, where did you go before?  I was worried.

C-ko: I went to B-ko's house.  I asked her if she could fix the

C-ko: Yup.

B-ko: Just a little bit more, and I'll be finished.

[A spy looks up from his newspaper, while Napolipolita and Dee make
their way towards A-ko and C-ko.]

Dee: Captain, we're finally going home?

Napolipolita: We've waited so long Dee...

C-ko: Yoo-hoo.

Dee (crying): Waaaah, princess, our ship is almost repaired.

C-ko: I'm so happy for you!

A-ko: Captain, take a look over there.

Napolipolita: ?

A-ko: Who are those people?  Huh?

Napolipolita (shocked): We're in trouble!

[Outside.  Daitsuke and Dai-Fu are standing on the roof of a building.]

Dai-Fu: Mr. Daitsuke, when will they be able to move in on the ship?

Daitsuke: We'll know very soon.  I've sent in spies to investigate. 
They'll report soon.

Dai-Fu: You know we can't engage them in the streets!

Daitsuke: Of course not.  We can't let the public lose confidence in the
Earth defense forces.

[Inside the ship.]

Spies (all of them): Freeze!  Surrender this ship!

[The spies become aware of each other]

Spy 1: You're KGB!

Spy 2: You're CIA!

[They start fighting]

Spy 3: You're from Interpol!

Spy 4: You're KGB!

[They start fighting.  All the spies start fighting.]

Napolipolita: You idiots!  I've waited so long for these repairs!  Idiots! 
Stop, you idiots!

[One of the spies fires a rocket at another, it barely misses A-ko, C-ko
and Napolipolita and tears through the hull, then explodes outside.]

Daitsuke: That's the signal!  Dai-Fu, they've succeeded!

Dai-Fu: Yes.

Dai-Fu: Full scale attack!

[The Marilyn mechs are launched.]

[Daitsuke cackles]

[In the ship's engine room.]

B-ko: Just about done.

[B-ko calls the bridge.]

B-ko: Hello?  The ship is ready to takeoff.  (pause)  I'll set the
countdown for five minutes.

B-ko: I better get on the bridge.

[The Marilyn mechs enter the ship and destroy the first line defenses
rather easily.]

[Napolipolita, Dee, A-ko and C-ko are heading for the bridge.]

Napolipolita: The repairs are completed, we can return to our planet now.

Napolipolita: Dee, it's started!

Dee: What now?

Spies: Freeze!  Don't try anything!

[Dee takes out the closest spy.]

A-ko: Marie!

Posse: Here comes the cavalry!

[Some of Napolipolita's crew is attempting to stage resistance.]

Woman: Who are you?!

[The Marilyn mechs easily overcome some of Napolipolita's crew.]

[Marie is taking care of the spies.]

Marie: Hit! Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, HIIITTT!

Marie: I'm so sorry everyone, but in three seconds...  you'll be dead!

[Marie farts.  (The fart sound I could make with my upper lip sounds better
than the effect they used)]

A-ko: Captain...

A-ko: You two take cover, I'm going to take care of them!

C-ko: A-ko don't!  Wait for me!

Napolipolita: Princess, don't go!  Princess!

[A-ko knocks out a bunch of spies with very little effort.]

[B-ko connects the last wire.  The ship begins to power up.]

B-ko: I've done it!  Finally C-ko is mine!

[B-ko cackles]

[Zoom out from the ship.  Cut to A-ko running along a corridor.]

A-ko: !!!!

[A-ko wrecks the Marilyn mech after it fires a few gas bombs.]

[A-ko runs into two other Marilyns.]

Pilot 1: Don't shoot inside the ship!

[A-ko wrecks the Marilyns.]

A-ko: Whew!

Pilot 2: Was that a monster?

[Cut to the rooftop Daitsuke and Dai-Fu are standing on.]

Radio: This is Marilyn three, repeat this is Marilyn three.  Send
backup, send backup!

Radio: This is Marilyn five, I'm engaged right now... It's a red haired
girl!!  Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!

Dai-Fu: Mr. Daitsuke, what is the meaning of this?!  You guaranteed that
these mechs wouldn't fail!  What do you plan to do about this?!

Daitsuke: Dai-Fu, this is just the beginning!  The real weapons are
behind you.

Daitsuke (on transmitter): Kathleen!  Elizabeth!  Diana!  Assemble!

[The pilots of the respective mechs call in.]

Pilot 1: Mr. Daitsuke, I'm on my way!  This fool is on his way to you!

Pilot 2: This miserable failure isn't going to be left out, I'm on my
way too!

Pilot 3: Mr. Daitsuke, my life is yours!

Daitsuke: Very well!

Pilots/Daitsuke: Form Magazer!

[The mechs begin to assemble, and a tractor beam lifts Daitsuke into
the head.]

[B-ko watches from the bridge of Napolipolita's ship.]

B-ko: Those robots!

[On the bridge of Magazer.]

Daitsuke: (laughs) Look at the weapons I have brought today!

B-ko (on comm screen): You've gone too far Daddy!  These are my designs!

Daitsuke: Calm down B-ko!  Get off the ship now!  That ship is mine, do
you understand?!

[The spaceship begins to pull away.  Daitsuke commands Magazer to grab
the ship with a wave of his hand.]

A-ko: !!!!

A-ko: What's happening?

[A-ko kicks out a hatch to see what's outside.]

A-ko: Another one of B-ko's inventions.  Gaak, makes me wanna puke!

[A-ko jumps onto Magazer's arm and begins to run up it.]

Pilot 2: Mr. Daitsuke, there's a red haired girl on the right arm!

Daitsuke: Red haired girl?  Why does that sound so familiar?

[Turns on a view screen]

Daitsuke: It must be that girl that made my daughter cry!  A most rude
child!

[Daitsuke fires a giant cannonball at A-ko.]

A-ko: !!!!

[A-ko dodges it.]

Daitsuke: What?!  What happened?!  Who's the idiot that built that
cannonball launcher?!

Pilot 1: I had that cannonball crafted exactly to your specifications.

Daitsuke: !!

Daitsuke: Enough talk!  Kill her!

[More cannonballs are fired.]

A-ko: !!!! Ouch, ouch! Ouch!!

[A-ko catches a cannonball and uses it as a shield.]

Daitsuke: Don't we have any more powerful weapons?!

Pilot 1: Mr. Daitsuke, if you'll please look on your left, there's a
control for a laser there.

Daitsuke: Idiot!  Why didn't you say so earlier?!

[Daitsuke arms the laser and tries to lock on A-ko.]

Daitsuke: You, you!  Stop moving around so much!  Gotcha!

Daitsuke: I got you!  I got you!

[A blast from the laser slices the cannonball in half.]

[Daitsuke laughs a muhahaha laugh]

Daitsuke (laughing): Very good!  Very good!

[Daitsuke's wild shots do more damage to Magazer than A-ko.]

Pilot 1: Mr. Daitsuke, calm down!

[Ayui is carrying some groceries on her scooter.]

Ayui: ??

Ayui: It's so beautiful!  There must be a party!

[On Napolipolita's bridge.]

B-ko: Daddy, don't do this!

[B-ko opens a hatch, jumps out, and changes into her battlesuit.]

B-ko: Don't do this Daddy!  Akagiyama missiles!

[B-ko fires her missiles]

[The missiles damage Magazer, and allow the ship to take off.]

Daitsuke: No, don't be so foolish!

Daitsuke: Oh no!

B-ko: Success!  It's lifting off!

C-ko: All right!  We're taking off!

Dee: Captain!

Napolipolita: We can finally go home Dee!

[A-ko watches the ship lift off from Magazer's arm.]

A-ko: C-ko!

C-ko: No!  A-ko, get me down!  Help me!

Napolipolita (on the ship): Goodbye!  We're going home with the Princess!
Farewell!

C-ko (on the ship): A-ko!

A-ko: C-ko!

[A-ko begins to pursue the ship]

Daitsuke: Damn you for this!

[He fires on B-ko.]

Daitsuke: You let my spaceship get away!  You won't get away with this! 
Die now!

[The arm of Magazer is shot off, carrying A-ko and B-ko with it.]

B-ko: A-ko, I hate you!

A-ko: !!!!

[On Magazer's bridge]

Daitsuke: Success!  (cackles) Success!  Do you see?!

Pilot 1: There's no reason to celebrate!

Daitsuke: ??

[The ship is falling back to Earth]

[Somewhere aboard the ship...]

B-ko: We're in this mess because you were too slow!  It's all your fault
A-ko!

A-ko: And what kind of crap are YOU talking about?!  You didn't watch
C-ko carefully, that's why they got her!

[On the gravity free bridge.]

C-ko (crying): Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!  A-ko, save me!  Hurry up, save me!

[On Magazer's bridge.]

Daitsuke: Ohhh, Lady Luck has smiled on me!  It's all mine!

[Daitsuke changes into a battlesuit that looks just like B-ko's and
crashes through the windshield.  Looks like he's been stealing more
than just B-ko's whiteprints.]

[Daitsuke settles on the tower and prepares to catch the falling ship.]

Daitsuke: It's all mine!

[Daitsuke catches the ship and strains under the weight.]

[Daitsuke's back breaks.]

[The ship tilts, knocks Magazer down, and sets off its remaining missiles.]

[Dai-Fu watches the city go up in flames.]

Dai-Fu: No!  No!  No!  No!  My pension!  My pension!  My pension!

[A-ko is sleeping late once again.]

A-ko: (Yawn)

[We see her through a hole in the floor.]

[C-ko rings the doorbell, the sound is definitely very distorted.]

C-ko: A-ko, time to go swimming!

[The front door falls off]

[We see A-ko's house is still smouldering.]

[A-ko and C-ko stop to look at the ship.]

C-ko (looking at spaceship): Huh?

A-ko/C-ko: All right!

[Pan left across the smouldering pool house.]

[B-ko is waiting at the pool]
