Nibelungen #09


p31
Ring 9: Planet Rhine


p32
Hei! Wer is dort? Pfui! Der Garstige!
Hey! Who's there? Pwah! What an ugly dwarf! (The Rhine Daughters, Scene 1)


p33
*The wind has risen. Someone is coming!!


p34
It's been a long time we haven't seen Alberich here.

He was the one who built planet Rhine replica and we are the three android sisters who watch over the gold.

The one we see... only too rarely...

Let's stop playing for a moment.
But it's for his pleasure that we were created though.


p35
Oh! Alberich! We thought that you were dead since all this time.
What good is bringing you on the replicated planet?
The real Rhine daughters rejected you, so you came play with us?

It's been 100 years you haven't come here...? A century!! We had almost forgotten about you.

I couldn't remember how beautiful you were!!
Follow me!!

Everytime you're talking to us, you're giving orders and it's never fun to follow you!!


p36-37
We're good here... We want to live freely as replica on a planet that is itself a copy.

What? Do you dare rebel against your creator?!
Exactly, Alberich!! Replicas also have their own will.

And you were the one who granted us with the ability to think...
... Alberich, the ugly dwarf...!

I see... You went too far...

It's quite a shame.
I wanted to bring you to heavens, but in the end, replicas remain pale couterfeits...


p38
Farewell, Alberich.

Farewell, replicated planet!! You're gonna return to ashes!!


p39
[nada]


p40
Mimay and her guardians seem troubled by the place they've landed on.
I hadn't noticed that those monkeys put the seventh circle and half upside down!!
What a weird place!!
Hey! Don't wander around!


p41
We can hardly see anything. Radars and dimensional sensors don't work.

This is neither fog nor sand. It looks like a golden powder tempest.

We shouldn't stay here too long, Harlock.

I guess that even Eldorado, the golden land, isn't as beautiful...


p42-43
Wow! Even the Arcadia is getting covered by a golden inlay.
Yattaran!! Drive the ship forward. Beware of the iron peaks!!
Roger!! Let's move on at lowest speed!!


p44
Hey! What the hell is that? Help!
Tochirou!! Step on it!! You need to free yourself!!!


p45
He has disappeared!! What has pulled him down?

It looked like tactile plants... But the sensors have detected nothing.

Nothing here looks like a plant... I wonder what it could've been!!

Well, no need to worry about Tochirou...

Yattaran, focus on driving the ship!!
Roger!


p46
Here's my stop! It's my stop! Let me down!!!

Let me down. I don't want to go to the terminus!!

... The signal isn't going through. Either I'm at the bottom of the pit, either walls are getting in the way...

Ah!!!


p47
Ouch!


p48
It huuuurts...

Where am I?

Oh!!
