By the year 2036, Earth and all its citizens
had been conquered by the Teridaxx,
cruel warriors from an alien planet.
Conventional war was replaced by single combat
between giant killing machines, gladiator robots.
The last machine capable of defeating this alien enemy
was buried deep within the jungle,
waiting to be resurrected
by a small group of Resistance fighters.
This is their story.
Spread out.
- Ray, are you sure we're heading in the right direction?
Been a long time since you were here.
- Some things you don't forget, Brian.
Why don't you take point?
- Leopard, watch your step.
Quicksand.
- Hold your positions.
Don't anyone move.
Hit it, all sides! - Get down!
- Let's get outta here!
- Go, go!
Brian!
That was the last time anyone ever saw your dad
or Ray Gibson alive.
And it was our last chance of getting back the Earth Bot
and fighting for our freedom.
Grandpa, you've told me that story
400 times already.
- So now it's 401 times.
Better than that fantasy stuff you're always reading.
When you execute a roundhouse kick, pivot on the other leg.
That's better.
Again.
Yeah!
- Hey.
Nobody knows what really happened back then.
Some people say that Gibson's still alive.
- You've been on that info web too much.
That's how rumors get started.
- So what was it like to be inside
one of those things?
It must be so awesome.
- Yeah.
You feel like you control the world.
Oh, Gibson made those robots fight
like they were part of him.
- Then why couldn't we beat the Teridaxx?
- Because they developed Suguru.
They called it the Evil Destroyer.
It was the ultimate killing machine.
Oh, damn these stiff joints.
You keep hot wiring these banned ultrahigh frequencies,
you're gonna blow this for good and you're gonna get busted.
- Tell me about Gibson's last fight.
- Gib had it all.
Speed, endurance, patience, everything.
Everything but the technology to beat Suguru.
- But you built the Earth Bot, Grandpa.
- But the Teridaxx had new weapons.
Metal alloys that were impenetrable.
After that final defeat,
the Teridaxx brought their occupation force here.
- At least Dad died fighting to be free.
- Nobody seems to believe in those things anymore.
People are afraid.
That makes them do stupid things.
Like telling their grandsons terrible stories
about war and killing.
- Isn't it better to know the truth, Molly?
That's what you always wanted to hear.
- Mom. - Yes, Zach.
- What, what was Gibson really like?
- Gibson's been dead for a long time.
Let's just leave it at that.
- Mom, he's not dead.
He's just waiting for the right time to come back
so he can fight the Teridaxx.
Dad!
Why are you telling him that?
- Well, I got--
- To give him some false hope
before he finally finds out the truth.
Gibson's not real, Zach.
He's a story like Robin Hood.
He's just a man who went away one day
and he took your father with him,
to die in some senseless war.
citizens will proceed to personal identification scan.
All citizens will form a single line
at identification checkpoint.
By order of Teridaxx Central Command.
All citizens will proceed.
- There's a problem on the info web.
Illegal use in 34th Sector.
- Damn, what's the code?
Gibson's alive.
I knew it.
All right, show me where he's at.
By order of Teridaxx Central Command.
All citizens will proceed for personal identification scan.
- Zach, what's happening?
- Gibson's alive, I just found out on the web.
- The Teridaxx are here.
Go to Grandpa's fast, you have to warn him.
- Mom, I'm not afraid, I'll fight them,
I'm not leaving you here alone.
- Yes you are, I'll be all right, now go.
Go, Zach!
Hold on, uh, I'm coming.
I, I, I was just doing some--
You talk!
- Gibson.
By order of Teridaxx
Central Command. - Come on now.
- Clear the streets. - The Teridaxx had taken
all of Earth's modern weapons and stolen our technology.
Everything we had left, we scavenged from the past.
Zach did his best to try and warn me, but it was too late.
The Teridaxx got to me first.
Move these civilians from the street.
Move, move, move!
All civilians, clear the streets.
You, get away from there.
Move, move, move, move!
By order of Teridaxx Central Command.
All citizens will proceed to personal
identification scanning. - All civilians clear
the street!
All citizens will form a single line
at identification checkpoint.
We've got the old man!
Back to the base.
All citizens are required to obtain and carry
proper identification at all times.
Come on, come on.
Halt!
- Where are your papers? - Uh, right here.
- Where are you going? - I'm going home.
- Why are you out? - Well I'm on my home.
- Yes. - You must go
- home immediately. - Yes.
Thank you. - Very well.
On your way then. - All right.
- Leave now! - Yes.
The people of Earth will not be allowed to behave
in this unlawful manner.
Mr. Ambassador, Major Dreesen,
if you can't control your people, we will.
- But you've already destroyed the illegal equipment.
- I demand that you find that boy.
I want to hear what he knows about the Robo Warrior Gibson.
- Gibson's a ghost.
A kid's story.
If he is alive, he's no threat to you.
As for the boy and his family,
they'll be sent to a re-education center.
- These incidents simply encourage your people
to disobey the law.
Your citizens must understand we can exist together.
I hold you responsible if that doesn't happen, Major.
I've alerted the Council regarding your breach of security.
This meeting is over.
- Hey.
You looking for me?
I'm Zach. - Let's go.
- This it? - All right.
Good luck.
Don't forget you haven't seen us.
- Mind if I join you?
I don't like drinking alone.
- If you want company, get yourself a dog.
- You stink anyway.
Ever heard of soap and water?
- You're Ray Gibson, right?
- What the hell do you want?
- I've been looking all over for you.
- Yeah?
I'm gonna count to three and if you're not gone--
- My grandfather is Charlie Walters.
He designed the Earth Bots.
We can do it again.
All you have to do is...
Look, I've been everywhere you were ever seen.
I had to trade my laptop to the Resistance
to get a ride down here.
- Did you come by yourself?
- Yes, I just wanna help.
- If you wanna help, go away.
Just get lost, all right.
Disappear now and forget you ever saw me.
- Look.
I've gotta get out there and find that Earth Bot,
then you can fight the Suguru
and we'll be rid of the Teridaxx forever.
- You got it all figured out, dontcha?
- Yeah.
- You look like your dad.
- Listen.
Anything with wires, I can make work.
I know all about the Robo Warriors.
- I got bad news for you, kid.
There are no more Robo Warriors.
They don't exist anymore.
- But what if we brought back the Earth Bot?
- There is no we.
The answer is no.
Besides, no one could activate that thing,
even if I could find it.
I could.
My grandpa has taught me everything about those robots.
You're the only chance we've got.
- Then you better start making friends with the Teridaxx.
Good bye.
- I don't know why my dad ever trusted you.
And all those stories my grandpa told me about,
about you and the freedom fighters.
They're all lies?
- Yeah, that's right.
They're all lies.
Now why don't you go home and stay out of trouble, kid.
This isn't some game.
- You're afraid of them, aren't you?
- Damn right I'm afraid.
And if you keep shooting your mouth off to strangers
about Earth Bots--
- Look, sorry I bothered you.
I guess I'll just go find it by myself.
At least I'm not the one sitting around
feeling sorry for myself.
- Well, I'm gonna go back in there
and feel sorry for myself some more,
and I better not see you around here again.
- You're a coward, Gibson.
You're afraid of the Teridaxx.
But I'm not.
Gibson!
All citizens will form a single line
at identification checkpoint.
Any citizen without personal identification barcode
must proceed to the implementation center.
- Dad!
I've been worried sick.
- I'm all right.
The Teridaxx have been interrogating me.
They seem to be...
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry, Molly.
It's all my fault,
filling that boy's head with stories about Gibson
and the Robo Warriors,
and showing him how to make that damn computer
in the first place. - Dad!
Where is he?
- What do you mean?
- I sent him to warn you.
The Teridaxx are gonna send us to a re-education camp
for a year.
They say if Zach reports the names of the others
using the info web with him,
we could be home in four months.
- They want him to be a rat,
for all of us to turn against each other.
- Well, if that's what it takes to keep him safe.
- Molly.
- If he's not with you, where is he?
- Well, my hunch, and it's just a guess.
Probably went to find Gibson.
- It's because of you, Dad, and all your stories.
- I swear I never told him anything
he couldn't learn elsewhere.
- Then you've gotta tell me where I can find Gibson.
- It's not that easy.
Well, I've got some old friends that may be able to help.
- I'm looking for Ray Gibson.
- I don't know anybody by that name.
- Well, that's not what I heard.
- You calling me a liar, lady?
- Yeah, and a bad one.
When you see Gibson,
you tell him Molly Douglas needs to talk to him.
- You bring the entire Teridaxx army with you?
- You look like shit, Gib.
- Nice to see you too, Molly.
- Where's my son?
- How should I know?
- He came here to see you, and knowing Zach he found you.
- Look, I'm sorry.
You got the wrong guy.
Jesus.
- What happened to you?
Gibson!
You promised me you both would come back.
Brian couldn't, but you could have.
- I let him die!
Don't you get it?
I let him and--
- Brian was a soldier.
He knew the risk, you're not God.
Zach's in trouble, Gib.
He needs you, not some spirit helper that you carve for him
or some make-believe hero.
He needs the real man.
Do this one thing for me so I can finally stop hating you.
- Go home, Molly and I'll bring your son back.
Go home.
- Gibson!
Gibson!
Help!
- Zach.
Hold on.
Zach, hang on.
Let go of the sticks and grab a hold of the rifle.
- I can't. - Zach, yes you can.
Look at me.
Look at me, Zach.
Let go of the sticks and grab hold of the rifle.
Come on, do it, do it!
Come on, kid.
Good boy.
Come on.
- Those were my favorite sticks.
- Your favorite sticks?
What'd you plan to do if I didn't come along?
- I knew you'd come.
Just wasn't sure when.
- The only reason the Teridaxx let you live this long
is 'cause they were waiting for me to come for you.
- What makes you think they want you so bad?
- They're after my machine.
Now come on, we're out of here.
- No, wait.
I'm not leaving until I get the Earth Bot.
- Just listen closely to me so you understand, kid.
I promised your mother that I'd bring you home,
and that's what we're doing.
You got it?
- You're not my father, okay?
I don't have to listen to you.
Alert right.
You go, left perimeter.
- Let's go, kid, go, go, go.
- Look, if you can't fight anymore then,
then somebody else can, okay?
But you have to find the Earth Bot for me.
It's the only way we're ever gonna be free.
- All right.
All right, I'll show you the machine.
I'll let you see it.
But that's it, nothing else.
- Yeah, yeah. - And when I tell you
to do something, you do it.
No back talk, no questions, just do it, okay?
- Why don't we just go around 'em?
That's easier said
than done. - Down there.
- Besides, I think it's too late for that.
- No sweat.
I can use a gun.
- Look.
You know how to use one of these?
- Yeah. - It's a smoke canister.
You pull the pin and then you toss it over there.
After that, you stay low.
You got it?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Gimme three minutes.
- All right, all right.
Three minutes from now.
- This area, clear there. - Over here.
I want two groups.
Left flank.
You on the right. - Yes sir.
Right away. - And I'll check
down the hill.
Very good.
Shout out if you see anything. - Yes sir.
- Come on, kid, throw it.
- Unbelievable.
We are bad.
- Listen to me.
You are not a tough guy.
Just consider yourself lucky to be alive.
Hey, you got that?
Come on, we gotta get outta here.
- Whoa!
Now we just gotta get it to work.
- Zach, it's been here ten years.
- Hey, I can fix this thing in my sleep.
- Zach.
Hello, machine.
- Try the ignition.
- Come on Zach, look at this thing.
- Just try it.
All right, all right, no problem.
Just a minor adjustment.
All right, try it now.
- Zach, we got a problem here.
- I gotta check the mobility circuit.
It's down the right leg.
- Zach!
How much did Charlie really teach you about this thing?
- Everything.
Zach.
- All right, can you hear me?
- How's it going, Zach?
- That's not us moving.
- Zach, we've gotta get this thing up now.
- Okay, okay, just gimme another minute.
- We don't have another minute!
- Right!
Okay, I think it's ready.
- You better be right.
Come on.
Come on, Zach.
Hang on.
Buckle your seat belt, kid.
Here we go.
Yeah!
- Come on, what are you doing?
Why'd you stop firing?
- Trigger circuitry's down.
- Great, what are we supposed to do now?
That's not supposed to shatter!
- He's firing some kind of nitrate missile.
We're moving in close.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Now we go after Suguru!
- No, no, no, no, we don't.
- Gib, come on. - Zach.
That is an order.
- What?
So Gib hid the Earth Bot again.
He had a knack for making it disappear
when no one else could find it.
A few days later,
when the Teridaxx finally called off their guards,
Gibson brought Zach home, just as he had promised.
- I wish I'd seen Gib's face when he saw you coming.
- What do you know, Dad?
- I know love when I see how angry you get
every time I mention his name.
- I think you're confusing love with hate.
- Hey. - Hey guys.
Hi Mom.
- Hello, Ray.
It's been a long time.
You sure got their attention again.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, no sweat, Mom.
We're cool.
- The Teridaxx are gonna send us to be re-educated
and you tell me, "No sweat, Mom, we're cool."
I know that look, Zachary Douglas.
- Grandpa.
You know you were right about the X47 robot series.
The laser sensors can bypass the main circuit board
and still be fully charged.
- Kid knows his stuff.
Charlie taught him well.
- This isn't some computer game.
You both could have been killed.
- Mom, Gibson destroyed that Teridaxx robot.
It was the coolest thing I ever saw.
- You're through with computers and all of it, Zachary.
I mean it.
Thanks for bringing Zach back,
and I'm sorry about what I said the other day.
- A lot of the things you said were right.
So now what?
- Now I'm gonna find some place by myself
and do some thinking.
- What about fighting Suguru?
Well, that's a fight for someone else, Zach.
- Gib, Why?
You got the Earth Bot back.
Now you're just gonna walk away.
- It's not my fight anymore.
- Yes it is.
It's for everybody, you know that.
- I think maybe he's right.
- Listen to your grandfather, son.
He's a smart man.
See you around.
Gib.
Come on.
Gib!
Grandpa, you should have seen that Teridaxx machine.
It was so big.
Any citizens without personal identification...
All citizens are required
to obtain and carry proper identification at all times.
By order of Teridaxx Central Command.
Wait, wait, that's enough
of this, get him in the truck. - Why are you taking him,
he's done nothing wrong!
...are required to obtain and carry
proper identification at all times.
Ray?
It is you.
- Hello, Margaret.
- Every time there's a rumor someone's seen you,
they come here.
They think you'll come back to the old neighborhood.
- Where's Matthew and your sons?
- The Teridaxx came in the middle of the night
to take my boys to their re-education camp.
Matthew tried to stop them.
They shot him right in front of us.
Matthew always said you'd come back.
By order of Teridaxx Central Command.
- He said you'd make things right again.
Go.
They can't hurt me anymore.
Any citizen without
personal identification barcode.
- Identification.
- Ray?
I'll be!
- It's good to see you.
Is Dreesen's office still up there?
- Yes, sir.
Had no identification at all.
- Gotta double check with Hobbs.
- I'll get that information, you know me.
Operations.
- We downloaded it. - No, I'm sorry.
Okay, what we're gonna have to give.
We'll have to clear that.
- Well, well, well.
Been a long time.
This is Ray Gibson.
- I've got the Earth Bot.
- We've already been notified of that fact
by the Teridaxx.
- Are you aware how much suffering and pain you've caused?
- Suffering I've caused?
- Gibson.
You've breached our security agreement with the Teridaxx.
Taken up arms against them, inflicted casualties.
Why?
- To challenge Suguru.
To take back our country, our planet.
- We've had a working arrangement with the Teridaxx.
They allow us to police ourselves within the city
and they don't detain or arrest anyone without cause.
At least they haven't until now.
- To challenge the Teridaxx,
and lose again,
would be disastrous.
They'd take whatever resources we have left.
- I won't lose.
Last time someone sabotaged my machine,
I never got the chance to fight.
- Some people thought you simply didn't have the guts.
- Major Dreesen,
let's not make this personal.
I can beat Suguru.
Isn't that what we all want?
- What makes you so sure, Lieutenant?
- Because it's not just a machine we're fighting,
it's the man inside.
I know how the Teridaxx think, how they react.
You taught me.
Their warriors train never to retreat.
To them it's a sign of shame and weakness,
but it also makes them vulnerable.
- I could challenge the Teridaxx
at the next Interplanetary Council meeting.
What do you think, Major?
- I don't like it.
It's all speculation.
Too big a risk, we're not ready yet.
- It's a risk worth taking, Major.
You trained me.
- Where's the Earth Bot hidden?
- First, you need to get me off the Teridaxx wanted list.
- I'll do what I can.
- There's one more thing.
Charlie Walters and his family helped me
to bring the Earth Bot back.
The Teridaxx wanna send them away for re-education.
I need that order changed.
- I'll speak to the Teridaxx about it.
Oh, there's one other thing.
I pick the Robo Warrior for the fight.
We've been secretly training a group of warriors
for the Resistance.
So you back off and I send in one of my own.
- But it's my mission, Major.
- You're ten years too late.
I will not design a weapons system
for some other Robo Warrior.
I just won't do it.
- Charlie, take it easy.
I didn't say I wasn't gonna fight.
I just said I'd let Dreesen do the choosing.
- You've got something up your sleeve.
- Right now, I need your help.
Charlie, you know the rules of combat
and the limitations of the weapons allowed.
What we need to do is to make everything lightweight
so we can pack as much firepower as we can
onto that machine.
- I've been working on a new transparent metal
to cover the cockpit.
Nothing will penetrate it.
- Can you connect the movement sensors fiber optically?
- Two, three weeks, it'll all be ready.
- Charlie, you've got one week.
With Zach's help, you've got an extra pair of hands.
Things should take half the time.
- I've already reconfigured the circuitry.
No sabotage or malfunctions this time.
Whoa. - It's a Double-K computer.
- Teridaxx computer, how'd you get this?
- I still got some friends on the black market.
The point is, it's untraceable.
They'll think it's one of their own.
- Cool.
What do you need?
- I need you to get back on the info web.
Find out everything you can about Suguru.
Its weapons, its sensor systems,
its body design, everything.
- We've located the Earth Bot.
- Any modifications to the original design?
None.
- Why do we even bother with this Earth Bot?
It's no match for us.
- A bit of entertainment, my son.
It's been a long time since I've seen you fight.
It's good for everyone's morale.
- But Gibson isn't being allowed to fight.
- Never underestimate the enemy.
You did that once before.
- No human being could have survived those falls.
- But he did and he'll find a way to fight.
- But I'll kill the man and the myth once and for all.
- We have received your challenge to fight Suguru.
Under the interplanetary rules
of warfare and peace, we accept.
- Good.
We'll draw up the proposal of terms and begin negotiation.
- There is no negotiation.
- But you said you accept the challenge.
- The terms are as follows.
In three days, Suguru will fight your Earth Bot
in the Arena of Stone.
- Agreed.
If we're victorious,
you remove your occupation force from this planet.
- Those are very big stakes, but we accept.
- Who will represent Earth?
- That's still to be decided. - No doubt Lieutenant Gibson.
He's a criminal, a terrorist.
- You made him that way.
He was a Robo Warrior,
and the arena is safe territory.
- Who will fight for the Teridaxx?
- My son Darius.
Only he controls Suguru.
And when we are victorious,
we shall dismantle Earth's defense forces completely,
and the Council observers shall be removed
from this planet forever.
- This is a mistake, Ambassador.
- We've got no choice and he knows it.
If we're ever to be free, this is the time.
We agree to the terms.
- Gibson.
What are you doing?
- I'm here to check out the competition.
- We had a deal, remember?
- Yes sir, I remember.
- Good.
Then this conversation is over, you don't belong here.
- Hello, Raymond. - Master Kim.
Good to see you again.
- I came here to offer a challenge.
I'm willing to face any of you
for the right to fight the Teridaxx.
- This is absurd, Gibson, you're crazier than I thought.
- As a Robo Warrior,
it's my right to challenge any other Robo Warrior.
- Now wait a minute. - That's correct, Major.
He has earned that right in the field of battle.
It can only be taken from him in combat.
- All right, this is my choice.
Kinto, you'll fight Gibson.
- Thank you for the honor, sir.
- There he is, Gibson.
Let's get this over with.
Kinto, you like to break men.
Break this man, quickly.
- Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Is that good enough for you, Major?
- Very impressive.
Master Kim, you trained him well.
- The right to face the Teridaxx is mine.
I need his help, Molly, or I wouldn't ask.
- But Zach is just a boy.
- He's not a boy anymore.
- And I'm not gonna send him off like his father
to fight like a gladiator.
I am not gonna lose my son too.
- Brian was the best man I ever knew.
He fought because he didn't have a choice,
and now neither do I.
I just need Zach to help Charlie get the machine ready.
He'll be safe.
- Oh, so Charlie knows about this.
And what about Zach?
- He's ready to go.
He's just waiting for you to say yes.
- Why am I not surprised, Gibson?
And if I say no.
- I'm hoping it won't come to that.
Come on, Molly.
You know what it's like being a prisoner in your own home,
on your own planet.
- Why did you come back into my life?
- You came looking for me, remember?
Molly, I'll take care of Zach like he were my own son,
I promise you.
- And who's gonna take care of you?
You never came between Brian and me when he was alive, so
you're not betraying him now.
I had feelings for you long before I ever knew him.
- I didn't think I could give you what you wanted
or what you needed.
- And what about now, Gib?
I want you in my life now.
So does my son.
- This is the last time I'm going.
- Don't say that unless you can promise me
you're coming back.
- I'll be by for Zach in the morning.
- I won't be here to watch you go.
- You okay, Mom?
- How long have you been listening?
- Awhile.
- Gibson thought your father walked on water.
When you were born, I don't know who fussed over you more.
Gib would play with you, he'd make you things.
You see that amulet you're wearing.
Gibson made that for you, not your dad.
He promised us it would always protect you.
- Mom, it'll be okay.
I promise.
What's it like, Gib? - What?
- What's it like to fight in the Arena of Stone?
- You're in your own world, Zach.
Totally focused on the machine in front of you
and how to destroy it.
And how to outthink the man inside it.
Hey there.
- Hello sir. - How's it going?
Oh man.
I'm gonna be a Robo Warrior one day.
- Well, let's hope by the time you're ready,
we don't have a need for them anymore.
- Hey, Gib.
All those other times you fought, were you ever afraid?
- Every time.
Anyone who isn't afraid is a fool.
Without fear, we get careless.
I win because I let the fear work for me.
The real measure of a man is how far he's willing to go
to avoid a fight.
Not how aggressive he is in trying to find one.
All right, we connected those lower thrusters
directly to your weapons launchers.
They're the green buttons.
- We've installed movement sensors
at the four points of the compass.
You see them?
- Check. - They'll allow you
maximum mobility.
- I'm gonna run a full systems check.
Hey, whattaya doing?
- Grandpa, look.
- I have problems here, the gears are frozen.
Talk to me.
- There's some kind of bug in the system.
- What kind of bug?
I don't know.
This has been in the machine a long time.
- The Teridaxx.
- It's, it's working like a heating coil.
It's moving through every connector,
burning all the circuits in its path.
- Close down that damn machine, Gib.
- Power's off. - Then whatever's inside
isn't connected to the power source.
It's got a life of its own.
If that gets to the central processing unit in the chest,
it's all over.
- Well, I gotta get in there and out those wires.
- If you do that, you'll just melt down the whole system.
- I don't have much choice.
- When we activated the weapon system, we kicked it on.
- So I pushed the wrong button.
Now what?
- I've got an idea.
Take this Teridaxx computer, get in there,
connect yourself to that bug.
Hang in there, partner, help is on the way.
- Be careful, Zach.
Zach, take it slow.
- Zach, you hear me?
I want you to hot wire into the mainframe circuitry.
There's a virus check on every Teridaxx computer.
We'll use their program to neutralize their own virus.
Zach?
- They booby trapped the passage.
- Zach, what does the mechanism look like?
- Some kind of explosive.
There's a red wire between two coils.
I think it's the live one.
- How many other wires do you see?
- Two.
Brown one and a green one.
They go from the coils into the wall.
They're the ground wires.
Cut the red one down the middle.
Don't pull it from the wall.
Okay, here it goes.
Piece of cake.
Getting pretty hot in here.
All this metal's conducting heat.
- Take it easy, boy.
Cut into the wires.
Let the computer do the work.
- I think I found the source of the bug.
- Can you disable it?
- I'll let you know in just a minute.
So the Teridaxx agreed to fight,
knowing you'd never be able to do it.
Soon as you got here, you'd self-destruct.
- I don't think so.
I got the little sucker.
This bug is terminated.
- Lieutenant Gibson, I just wanted to wish you good luck.
- Thank you.
- My staff is at your disposal,
and so is Major Dreesen's.
His technicians are ready to give a final check
to your machine.
- Oh, that won't be necessary.
No disrespect intended, Ambassador.
- None taken.
- Zach and Charlie are the only crew I need.
Call me superstitious.
- Well, I call you a lot of things Gibson,
but that wouldn't be one of them.
- The Earth Bot is functioning perfectly,
and this time I wanna make sure it stays that way.
No one goes inside that machine except me.
And I mean no one.
- Good luck, Lieutenant.
- Come on, Gib, you're gonna be late.
They like these things to start on time, you know?
- Gib.
It's for luck.
From me and Mom.
I will be expecting that back.
- Thanks, Zach.
Thanks for everything.
- Let the warriors approach.
You both signed the challenge.
The Council will ensure each side abides by the agreement.
Neither man can carry a weapon of any kind.
Agreed?
- Agreed.
- When a fallen robot no longer rises,
the match is declared over.
- This fight is to the death.
- That is not the agreement!
- Then we change the agreement.
Only one Robo Warrior walks away.
- Only one walks away.
- Everything look okay, Gib?
- No problems here.
See you when it's over.
Let's do it.
- Finish him.
You know how his machine works, now destroy it.
- Oh yeah, I'll bet that hurt.
Is that all you got?
Nice work, Charlie.
The transparent titanium's holding up just fine.
- You can't trade shots with him.
He'll wear down that suit eventually.
He's right, Gib.
- Come on, stay up.
Stay up!
Stay on your feet, Gib.
Gib, if he scores a hit
with that big gun, you're gone.
Morph now and come in under him.
- Just what I was thinking.
- Watch your underbelly, he's going into low attack mode.
- I'm ready for him.
All right!
Go on, Gib.
You got it, Gib, stay with it.
- Use your thrusters, Gib.
- Gib, what are you doing?
You're getting way too close.
- I got him just where I want him.
- Reverse yourself, he'll take that leg off
in another minute.
- Gib, are you okay? - I think so.
- Get out of there, Gib.
Move!
- I'm sending up a smokescreen.
My targeting sight's off to the left, ten or twelve degrees.
Dump the auto sight.
Aim twelve degrees more to the right, manual targeting.
All right!
The targeting quadrant is losing pressure.
Hold on, Gib.
- This is the shot you've been waiting for.
Make it good.
- With pleasure.
- You got him, Gib!
Direct hit!
- Upper right quadrant's been compromised.
Seal it off.
- First I give him Suguru's kiss of death.
- He's neutralized the entire system.
- What's going on, I didn't feel an impact?
- He's throwing off some kind of electron shot
where it stopped everything.
- Well Charlie do something, get me moving now.
- I'm trying. - Gibson.
This is Major Dreesen.
Abandon that machine now, that's an order.
- Sorry sir.
Having trouble hearing you.
- I think I can get you some more power, Gib.
I can bypass the main power source.
Well then do it, Zach.
It's getting a little hot in here.
- Gibson!
Get your ass outta there now, do you copy?
- All right, Gib.
The power is back on.
- Zach, my rockets aren't firing.
- Gib, you don't have any rockets left.
- Get out of there, Gib.
It's over.
He's gonna destroy that machine and you with it.
- The man and the myth are destroyed!
- Gibson!
- We gotta do something, we can't just let him die in there.
- There's nothing we can do.
- He's your friend.
- Those are Gibson's sensors.
They must have gone off when he was--
- It's not coming from his machine.
It's coming from inside Suguru.
- Lieutenant Gibson's still alive.
- I'd say so, and I bet Darius doesn't know
he's gonna have some company real soon.
- There's something wrong.
- Bring Suguru back to the docking station.
- Gibson's alive.
He's inside Suguru. - That's not possible.
Run electron sweep through the system.
- Dreesen! - His sensors will show you
where he is. - Son of a bitch!
- I think Gib's trying to reason with Darius.
Knock a little sense into his thick skull.
- I gotta get in there. - Er, hold on Zach,
I'm right behind you.
- Find my son.
Find my son, quickly.
Quickly!
- Zach!
Zach!
Zach, be careful!
This thing's gonna blow any minute.
- Gib.
Gib, come on, we gotta get out of here.
Come on.
- I'm okay, Zach.
Go, go.
- Look under the firewall.
- Get out of here.
Move.
Quon!
It's too late to save your son.
Save yourself.
Darius!
- Earth is declared the winner.
The Teridaxx will withdraw
their occupation force immediately.
The Interplanetary Council will ensure
these orders are carried out.
Well, it took a while to sink in,
but we finally realized we'd done it.
We'd won.
But there was still one score to settle.
- You betrayed me in the jungle ten years ago,
and you tried to betray us all again today.
- You're making a mistake.
I'm a human being, I'm not one of them.
- You're going down, Major.
Major Dreesen would have
the rest of his life in prison to think about his betrayal.
As for the rest of us,
we were ready to begin our lives again.
Mom!
This time we'd do it in a world
of peace and hope.
- Gib!
Promise you'll stay.
- I promise.
