This time. The Moon'Star's rays
shone directly into the penal planet.
"You remember what those
rays do to Mon"Star, don't you?
The boys up there did everything
they could to black out the place.
"But somehow. Those blasted
rays penetrated Mon"Star's cell.
Stop , you fool.
Let the Moon♪Sta|
shine into my cell...
and you will be rewarded
with wealth beyond wealth.

You getting all of this, or
arn I just talking to myself?
Transmit visual
material, please.
Okay. Here we go. I'm gonna
show you the whole mob.
ST ARGAZER: Number one.
Molecular. Master of disguise.
He can assume
any shape, any form.
He is Mon♪Star's undercover guy.
[HOARS]
The female. Melodia.
Mistress of evil notes.
Her musical power has
shattering consequences.
Here is Mambo-Jumbo.
The strongman of the mob.
Hardware, Mon♪Star's
weapons man.
And Windhammer. The storm master.
With that blasted tuning fork of his.
And that's just to! Openers.
Commander Stargazer to Earth.
We could use some help up here.
NARRATOR: Back on Earth.
Plans were taking shape.
A unique team would be formed
and sent to the Galaxy of Limbo...
to aid Commander Stargazer.
Good morning, general.
—I\I'lorning, professor.
Data on our volunteers 10! The
mission to Commander Stargazer.
Well. Let's take a look at it
on the hologlaph projector.
GENERAL: He's the
leader. Jonathan Quick.
Former head of Federal
interplanetary Force 8.
His Hawk code name: Quicksilver.
Emily Heart and
Will Heali. The twins.
They're technicians. Designers.
And both strong as all get-out.
When one twin feels
something, so does the other.
Their Hawk code names:
Steelhealt and Steelwill.
Here's a volunteer from
the Planet of the Illlirnes.
A mathematical genius.
He'll be known as
the Copper-Kidd.
PROFESSOR: This can't be
light. He looks like a cowboy.
GENERAL: That cowboy's a colonel
and the best pilot in the solar system.
We'll call him Bluegrass.
- I'm impressed, general.
- Hm.
It seems a shame we can't send them
up to Commander Stargazer as they are.
One day. We'll be
able to send an ordinary
person 100 light years
into space. General...
but light now. We can only send
one who is partly metal and partly real.
Well. Have you completed
their modifications?
We're checking them now.
All the sensors are attached,
professor. We're ready.
Commence Silvelhawks check run.
Shoulder jets.
ASSISTANT: Operative.
PROFESSOR: Arm jets.
ASSISTANT: Affirmative.
PROFESSOR: Heel jets.
ASSISTANT: All in older.
PROFESSOR: Talons.
ASSISTANT: Yes.
PROFESSOR: Wings.
ASSISTANT: In perfect order.
PROFESSOR: Left hands.
ASSISTANT: Normal.
PROFESSOR: Heads.
ASSISTANT: Normal.
PROFESSOR: Hearts.
Negative readout on
the fourth and fifth hearts.
-What's happening?
ASSISTANT: It's the twins.
Ah. It seems we have a problem
with their real hearts. General.
We'll have to fit
mechanical ones.
GENERAL: How will the twins
operate without real hearts?
[CHUCKLES]
They'll be line. General.
Heh-heh-heh. Now their
code names really fit.
Steelheart and
Steelwill. Perfect.
Let's hope our Silvelhawks
live up to their promise.
Well. We'll soon
find out. General.
Silvelhawks. Stand by.
I hope your man can
handle that machine.
It's our latest
fighter, the Mirage.
Don't worry. Bluegrass can
handle anything with wings.
You'd better be right,
general, because if you're not...
ou| remote-controlled
combat drone will find him out.
BLUEGRASS:
Silvelhawks. Sound 0H.
- One.
- Two.
Sound off. —Three.
[WHISTLES]
BLUEGRASS: Prepare to launch.
Release.
Release.
Release.
[WHISTLES]
BLUEGRASS: Silvelhawksm.

Uh-oh. Scatter.
Combat drone at 3:00.
Now we'll see what your
Silvelhawks are made o1.
Dive.
All light.
Let's show them
the Hutseat in action.
Time to give the
Mirage Effect a look-see.
I'm impressed, general.
That's brand-new stuff.
First time it's been tried.
PROFESSOR: Well, gentlemen.
There they are. The Silvelhawks.
Your Silvelhawks have
done you proud. Gentlemen.
GENERAL: Hope they impress Mon♪Sta|
and his mob as much as they have you, sir.
Professor, you've
outdone yourself.
When is blastofl 10! Limbo?
Tomorrow morning. General. 0800.
Very well. Then. Good
flying. Silvelhawks.
[COPPER-KIDD WHISTLING]
BLUEGRASS: Well, you look
like you're enjoying YOUISE", Kidd.
- You wanna be a space pilot?
- You bet.
Well. It's one thing to
learn how to fly the Mirage...
it's another thing to
navigate through space.
So the first thing you gotta do is
know your way around the universe.
What say we start with
Earth and its solar system?
Suits me.
BLUEGRASS: All
right, take a look at this.
Now. I'm gonna ask
you two questions.
You score points 10!
Each one you get light...
and the better you do. The
quicker you'll learn to tly the Mirage.
Okay?
Okay. Now. Three points if
you can name this planet...
the third one out from the sun.
COPPEH-KIDD: Earth.
—Earth. Hey, that's right.
You got it. Three points.
That's pretty good. Kidd.
Now. Here's the second
and last question 10! Today.
It's worth three points.
So tell me. What is the
nearest planet to the sun?
COPPER-KIDD: Mercury.
BLUEGRASS:
Mercury. All light, Kidd.
That's three points.
And that's six to! Six.
Hot bad for a kid
from another galaxy.
Thanks.
I tell you what we do.
When we get to Limbo...
there's a simulator up
there on Hawk Haven.
I'll teach you all there is to
know about the universe...
and ii you score high enough.
You quality 10! Flight training.
- Is it a deal?
- Deal.
