ORIGINAL DIALOGUES OF EPISODE 72

DIALOGUE 7 – RUBINA'S DEATH

(The light of the dawn is slowly rising up. Double Spacer, Drill Spacer and Marine Spacer land not far from Grendizer. Duke Fleedr brings an injured Rubina out from Queen Panther and carries her to lay on the flowered grass. Hikaru, Maria-Grace and Koji exit their spacers and Maria-Grace would like to join her brother, but Koji holds her)

Maria-Grace: Rubina! Release me, Koji!
Koji: Maria-chan...
(Koji and Maria-Grace are close each other near from Duke Fleed, while Hikaru is few steps behind them)

(Rubina awakens and looks at Duke Fleed, whose face she can see for the first time, as now he has taken away the helmet. He is kneeled by her legs)
Rubina: Duke...(she takes his hands) The base of Vega Allied Force is on the other side of the Moon.

Duke Fleed: (a bit surprised) Why are you telling me such a thing?

Rubina: Because I would like at least you to believe me...

Duke Fleed: I have come because I believe you, Rubina, you know.
Rubina: Yes.
Duke Fleed: Hold on, Rubina!
Rubina: I would like to ask you one thing.

Duke Fleed: What?

Rubina: When the green returns on Planet Fleed, could you name the first red flower which will bloom as "Rubina"?

Duke Fleed: A red flower?

Rubina: Yes, it will be me. (she sees two birds flying in the sky) Everytime spring comes, I will bloom and I will come back to you.

(Hikaru is watching the scene; she is now in front of Rubina, but back respect of Duke Fleed, whose voice starts to become emotional)

Duke Fleed: No, you shouldn't die! (Hikaru turns and holds herself to Marine Spacer with a painful expression) Let's go back together to Planet Fleedl Let's go back there together!
Rubina: (starting to grimace for pain) Duke, I won't die. I will become a red flower, and I will stay beside you forever...!
Duke Fleed: Rubina!

(Just in that moment, an injured Zuril appears behind Duke Fleed, at the opposite side of Marine Spacer, so Hikaru cannot see him. Zuril holds a gun on his hands, and he is ready to shoot Duke Fleed. Koji and Maria-Grace have moved close to Drill Spacer, at Duke Fleed's right. Koji is watching Maria-Grace, who has closed her eyes so she cannot notice the Science Minister, but suddenly he turns his head just in time to spot the scene. Koji extracts his gun and fires in Zuril's direction)
Koji: Duke Fleed, pay attention!
(Zuril is hit by Koji, and falls on his back dying, just in the moment Rubina closes her eyes for good)

FIRST COMMENTS

Rubina, when she showed the photo in Dialogue 5, had spoken of Planet Fleed who was coming back to life. But, in these last words of her: "When the green returns on Planet Fleed, could you name the first red flower which will bloom as "Rubina"?" It seems that the regeneration process was only at a first stage at the moment. Then, we can discuss the timeline of the final scene of episode 74 and the return of the Princes of Fleed to their native planet.
