Even though the ship is not prepared for an attack, Avatar orders it powered up, telling Wildstar to take over the weapons system and Venture to take helm control. However, Wildstar and Venture have little time to look around, as Gamilon planes attack the ship. Wildstar is eager to fight the Gamilons, but Avatar says that the ship's primary mission is to travel to Iscandar and return with the Cosmo DNA. When they board, they find themselves inside a newly modernized spaceship, commanded by Captain Avatar. However, the Yamato appears to be nothing more than a hunk of ruins, leaving the cadets puzzled as to why Gamilon would be interested in it.Ĭadets Wildstar and Venture return from their trip and are summoned to the Yamato, noticing that it looks brand new from underneath.

After they return, Derek confronts Avatar about Alex, but Avatar says it was Alex's decision to remain. On the way back, they learn of Alex's fate. They return to Earth in Avatar's battleship, and Derek notices the absence of any other ships. Cadets Derek Wildstar, Alex's younger brother, and Mark Venture investigate and discover a beautiful, dead woman, ejected from the escape pod and clutching a message capsule. Meanwhile, a non-Gamilon alien ship is hit in the crossfire and crashes on Mars.
