2199 AD.
The earth, which has turned into a red earth, has reached the edge of destruction.
Eight years ago, mankind made contact with extraterrestrial civilization for the first time in history.
In the face of mankind's hope for peaceful exchanges, the extraterrestrial civilization named Gamilas unilaterally and brazenly started a war, and relentlessly launched a continuous and indiscriminate attack on mankind and the earth.
Under rounds of indiscriminate attacks, the originally blue and beautiful earth was destroyed by the long-distance meteor bombs used by Gamilas. The surface ecological environment was completely destroyed. Rivers and oceans were evaporated, turning into a lifeless wasteland.
The red land, the fertile land became a sea of ​​fire, and the atmosphere on which humans and many animals and plants depended for survival was polluted.
Humanity can no longer survive on the surface and can only huddle in underground cities to survive.
But now, there is still only one year left before the extinction of mankind.
In this desperate crisis, a spaceship codenamed Amaterasu, which brings hope to mankind and saves mankind from destruction, crosses the starry sky and is about to arrive in the solar system. In order to welcome this spaceship carrying hope, mankind gathers
The military launched Operation Pluto in January 2199 to provide cover for the "Amaterasu" spacecraft.
However, when "Amaterasu" just entered the Martian atmosphere, its engine suddenly exploded and finally exploded in the air.
The two United Nations soldiers who were responsible for responding to the "Amaterasu" spacecraft, Susumu Koro and Daisuke Shima, had no time to be surprised. They quickly flew a fighter plane in the direction of the landing of the escape capsule that was ejected before the spacecraft exploded.
Under the billowing smoke, not far from the broken wreckage, an escape cabin was kept tilted under the support of a support frame, quietly on the red hills.
Unfortunately, when the two approached the escape cabin and inspected the escape cabin, they discovered that the alien messenger named Sasha Iskandar, who was in the escape cabin and brought hope to mankind, was missing.
All vital reactions were detected and he was declared dead on the spot.
Only the hope tightly held in his arms - the "hope" called the fluctuation core - is still in operation.
The two of them did not expect that the messenger they welcomed would die before meeting them.
With such a change, the joy that arose in my heart immediately disappeared.
Gu Jin looked sad and lost his reaction for a moment.
And Daisuke Shima, who was beside him, reached out and took the "Hope" that was still in operation in his hand.
"Is this the goal of our mission?"
Koshin looked at the "Hope" in Daisuke Mukaishima's hand. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed something flashing in front of his eyes.
"Gold...golden glitter?!"
Before the two of them could react, a strange feeling descended from the sky, causing them to subconsciously turn their heads and look ahead.
"Ancient times!! That...that is?!"
Shima Daisuke's eyes widened and he subconsciously raised his hand to point to the sky in front of him.
"Fly...flying bird?! Golden flying bird!!"
Gu Jin looked at the sky in front of him in shock.
Even though humans have colonized Mars, it does not mean that there are still any living things on the surface of Mars, let alone birds flying in the sky!
But what is going on with the birds in the sky in front of me!!
"Get away! Ancient times!"
Shima Daisuke suddenly pulled Gu Jin away from the escape cabin and quickly retreated more than ten meters away.
"island!"
Gu Jin only had time to call out his friend's name before he was shocked by the golden bird swooping down from the sky.
I saw that as the golden bird fell in the sky, the golden flash that filled the air became more and more dense.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light that diffused around the two people almost converged into a stream.
"This, this is some kind of particle?!"
The moment Gujin subconsciously reached out and touched the "golden stream" flowing in front of his eyes, a mysterious consciousness suddenly poured into Gujin's mind.
"Ugh!"
"Ancient! Are you okay?"
Shima Daisuke quickly approached Koshin and asked with concern.
"No. I'm fine! Don't worry! That bird means no harm to us."
What surprised Shima Daisuke was that Gu Jin, who was seeing the golden bird for the first time like him, could be sure that the mysterious golden bird would not harm them.
"Yes. It just came to take her away."
Gu Jin showed a hint of sadness, but mostly he was happy.
Are you glad that this messenger who came from afar to bring hope to mankind does not have to die in a foreign country?
Or is she glad that she doesn't have to walk alone on the road to the afterlife?
Daisuke Shima didn't understand.
But he believes in ancient times.
So, under the gaze of the two people, the golden bird that fell from high altitude slowly floated above the escape cabin, and then several golden flashes of light fell from its wings, hovering around the envoy.
"Buzz!"
In a few flashes of light, the messenger, pulled by some kind of force, slowly rose into the sky and landed on the back of the golden bird.
Then, the golden bird fluttered its wings and flew into the distance, disappearing in front of the two people.
"Although I believe it, in ancient times, how could you convince the people above that there was a golden bird on Mars and a report that suddenly appeared and took the messenger away?"
Shima Daisuke took a breath, raised his hand and put it on Gu Jin's shoulder and asked.
Gu Jin was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and took out a miniature camera from his pocket.
Seeing this, Shima Daisuke's eyes widened immediately, and he laughed and cursed:
"What a great person from ancient times, you actually hid such a skill!"
Gu Jin shook his head and sighed.
"The things have been received. Let's go back and wait!"
Shima Daisuke looked around and nodded silently.
"That's all it can do."
Three weeks later, the ancient Shinwajima Daisuke, who had been waiting for a long time on Mars, finally arrived to receive their battleship.
However, unlike the previously planned plan, the fleet that responded to the two men only left the Space Battleship Kirishima alone, with scars all over his body.
Koshin couldn't believe what he saw, because his brother Koro Mamoru was also a member of this fleet, but now he didn't see the space battleship Yukikaze commanded by his brother Koro Mamoru.
The atmosphere on Kirishima is depressing and heavy.
So is the truth.
During the voyage back to Earth, the fleet responsible for fighting Pluto was almost completely wiped out, leaving only the scarred Kirishima who returned to Earth alone.
Even though, on the way back, Kirishima found traces of the Gamilas army that occupied Pluto launching a long-distance meteor bomb against the Earth again, there was nothing he could do.
I can only watch helplessly as the meteor bombs that continue to push the earth and mankind to destruction are flying towards the earth.
The captain of the Kirishima and the future captain of the Space Battleship Yamato, Okita Juzo, clasped his hands tightly and resisted the order to send the scarred Space Battleship Kirishima to intercept the meteor bomb.
He knew that once this order was issued, even if the Kirishima could successfully intercept it, the "hope" he had finally obtained would inevitably sink in this universe along with the exhausted Kirishima.
Okita Shisan kept persuading himself in his heart, and even closed his eyes to force himself not to pay attention to the damn meteor bomb.
However, an exclamation from the radar operator made Okita Shisan suddenly open his eyes.
"Report!! Meteor bomb No. 2 suddenly exploded!"
"What?!"
The entire bridge was shaken, and everyone looked at the radar operator.
"What happened? Is it a friendly warship?"
Okita Shisan asked quickly.
"No! No trace of any warships was found! It's as if the No. 2 meteor bomb suddenly exploded on its own."
"How is it possible? How could Gamilas do such a stupid thing!"
Okita Juzo didn't believe the radar operator's speculation.
At this moment, another exclamation came from the right side of the bridge.
"Report! Starboard at 5 o'clock!! A UFO appears! It looks like a flying bird!! The target seems to be heading towards the No. 1 Meteor Bomb!!"
"What?"
Okita Shisan quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the area where the target was according to the crew's instructions.
I saw, among the bright golden light, little bits of red light suddenly appeared.
And in the next second, the golden bird that the crew claimed to have disappeared.
"Disappeared?! Hallucination?!"
The crew members said in surprise.
"No! Quick, look at the left front of the No. 1 meteor bomb! The flying bird has appeared!"
Okita Thirteen and others moved their eyes again.
This time, they saw the golden bird blast out a bright beam of light, directly blasting away the No. 1 meteor bomb.
The flash of the explosion disappeared in an instant.
When the meteor bomb that devastated the earth turned into countless rubbles, rolling and sliding into the deep black void, the big golden bird paid no attention to the nearby Kirishima, and instead spread its wings and flew towards the earth, leaving only a
The golden light of the stars.
"What the hell is this... our friendly army?"
While the crew members were shocked by the scene in front of them, someone said subconsciously.
"Do we have such friendly forces? They should be gods, right? Golden birds..."
Everyone exchanged words with each other. Suddenly, there was a cough, and everyone returned to their positions and continued on duty.
The person who issued this reminder was none other than the captain of the Kirishima, Osamu Shannan.
After looking around, he finally looked at Okita Shisan who put down the telescope and remained silent.
"Sir, I remember that three weeks ago, Shin Koro and Daisuke Shima, who were responsible for the mission on Mars, reported an intelligence. The envoy who came from afar and died unfortunately was taken away by a golden bird.
of."
Okita Shisan nodded slowly.
"Yeah. I've also read this report. Maybe we'll see you again in the future!"
