Babes with Blades

[Narrator] It was 12

years since the Visray

laid waste to our home world.

Run!

[Narrator] 12 years

since they ripped her

from all that she knew.

(muffled yelling)

But 12 years since she

escaped her captors

surviving on the dark

streets of Draiga.

Relentlessly pursued,

the orphan child became

a savage fighter.

(dramatic music)

Only flickers of her life

before the Visray...

...remained.

(swords clinking)

(grunts and groans)

(dramatic music)

(coughing)

I want her taken

alive, is that clear?

Well, go and get her then!

(dramatic music)

(thudding)

Not so clever after all.

Section Commander

wants her taken alive.

We're not going to kill, sir!

We're here to teach

you all a lesson

on how to catch one girl

who's eluded you for so long.

(body slapping)

You see?

All aggression, no finesse.

(dramatic music)

(swords clinking)

(onlookers cheering)

So much for the mighty Sarnians.

(woman gasps and groans)

Finally she's gonna

get what she deserves.

(chain jingling)

Now you belong to me.

Do what I saw or.

(electrical buzzing)

(laughing)

Your turn to suffer.

People paid good

money to see the last

of the Sarnians

fight in the ring.

(electrical buzzing)

(man yelling)

Come on, Tallarin!

[Blue Haired Boy] Azura!

[Man] Don't let her get away!

(moaning)

[Radio] She escaped

to the loading tower.

Send units on top we

need to shut it down.

Send reinforcements now!

(man moaning)

(dramatic music)

I have word that a new

group of colonists are trying

to stir up unrest and are

stealing from the empire.

They are calling

themselves Freedom Fighters

and they're growing

ever more confident

in their attacks, Ma'am.

How tiresome.

You know the drill,

find them and kill them.

Which is your favorite

item, Peltarion?

I've always been drawn

to this one, Ma'am.

An excellent choice aside

from its aesthetic beauty

this represents my

greatest conquest.

The single remaining

living thing from

the home world of

our greatest enemies.

The Sarnians treasured

these flowers

now all that remains is this

and the girl.

You sent for me, Ma'am?

Do you like my

collection, Sef?

It's very nice, Ma'am.

Nice.

I expected more from you, Sef.

It's a wonderful collection.

I like dichotomy.

Weapons of war alongside

artifacts of great beauty.

Peltarion here tells

me that with his help

you have finally captured

the Sarnian girl.

Your plan worked well, Ma'am,

she's ready to fight now.

Excellent.

I can't have rumor

spreading that

a Sarnian roams

free on this world.

It's an embarrassment

at the very least.

I want the arena games

to go ahead as usual.

(Sef grunts)

Keep the violent lusts

of the mob sated.

Show them that working

with us has its benefits

and at the same time we'll

squeeze their water supply.

Let them know the sooner

the rebels have given up,

the sooner the water

will flow freely.

When their children

are dying of thirst

we'll soon see how long the

fire of rebellion burns.

I look forward to seeing

the last Sarnian

fight in the arena.

(dramatic music)

(footsteps)

It's okay.

I want to help.

It's all right.

I need to treat your wounds.

I mean you no harm,

I only want to help.

I've never seen one

like you before.

I thought none of

your kind survived.

They didn't.

I know nothing of my kind.

I know only the dark

streets of this place.

(dramatic music)

All that remains of

Sarnia is faded memories

of a dead world.

Don't speak like that.

Defeat begins up here.

If you are to survive

this place, you need hope.

Without hope you're truly in

hell and you'll die out there.

What do you care?

I'm nothing to you, human.

You're just like them.

I'm human but I'm no Visray.

You're all the same to me.

Are we?

I never saw your world

before it was poisoned

but we've all heard the

stories of your people.

How they fought, they

were a symbol of hope.

A sign that a Visray

could be challenged.

A false hope.

Not while you live.

Not while you fight.

You're living proof that

the empire can be defied.

(laughs)

You're insane.

I'm a prisoner and a slave.

I live at their whim as do you.

Yes.

It was Sorrentine herself

that ordered the poisoning.

And that's why she rules

here in this cess pit?

A reward for defeating the

empire's greatest threat.

It wasn't always this way.

She has stripped

this planet bare.

And leaves us with nothing.

Rest.

They'll be coming for you again.

(footsteps)

There's only two of them.

It's almost too

good to be true.

Then we hit it,

lightning raid.

Yeah, get as much

as we can and get out.

Our people need

those supplies.

Let's move.

Whoa, whoa, hey guys.

You haven't seen a petite little

lady around here, have you?

Black hair, black eyes.

About this high?

No, there she is!

(fist thudding on body)

(dramatic music)

Guard.

(heavy thudding)

Fill those bags.

I think someone's coming.

Okay, we have to move now.

Just a few more.

Quickly!

Someone's coming,

we have to go now!

[Guy In Hat] Okay

okay, we're coming.

Let's go!

[Guy] Hang on,

hang on, hang on.

[Guy In Hat] Come on!

(grunts)

(dramatic music)

Woo, we're all right.

It was too close.

That's what makes

it such a rush.

It's not a game do

you remember that?

We got out, we got the

stuff, and no one got hurt.

Okay.

Okay, we need to

head back to camp.

We need to deliver this stuff

to the people who need it.
