Pluto

Stop Time: Six and a half days

A small planet one-tenth the mass of Earth, Pluto is also referred to as the "Planet of Indecision". This is because travelers go to the planet not knowing their next step. The never-melting ice gives a cool chill to travelers, but it doesn't affect the natives, as most have mechanical bodies. The planet hosts a large frozen graveyard where travelers who came here or changed to a mechanical body are buried. Maetel refers to the planet as the saddest in the universe.

## Characters

**The following characters appear and are exclusive to this episode/stop:**

Shadow

***Voiced by: Mieko Nobusawa***

She is attacked by Maetel, and left sprawled out next to her old body in tears, mourning the loss of her former self.

## Changes

* In the anime, Maetel goes by herself to the graveyard, while in the manga version, Tetsuro accompanies her.
* In the anime, there is a scene where Shadow pretends to be Tetsuro's mother and lure him back into her cave and take his body. In the manga, there is only one meeting with Shadow.

## *海賊島*

**Pirate Island** (*Kaizoku Shima*) is the one-hundred-and-thirteenth overall and twenty-second chapter of the Eternal story of *Galaxy Express 999**.* It was first published in **June 1998** in Big Gold.

This chapter was titled **Planet Pirate** when released by Viz Media in North America.

## Summary

From the Arcadia, Captain Harlock is warning the 999 to not land at ‘Planet Pirate’, as it is too dangerous. The Conductor says that no stop can be skipped, as some passengers must board. Harlock understands, and says he will send a “shadow” to help.

The 999 arrives at the station, and it’s completely empty. A shadowy figure comes closer, closer, closer…Maetel exclaims that it’s Tochiro! Tochiro says he was the shadow sent by Harlock, and even though he now lives as a part of the Arcadia, he only exists as “Heart”.

The trio come upon a spaceship that resembles an ugly creature. A pirate who claims to have no name introduces himself, and shoots at Tochiro’s spirit. It has no effect, however. The pirate talks of how unimportant life now is with the loss of the solar system. Tetsuro tells him he wants to live for the reconstruction of the solar system. The pirate tells him that’s ridiculous, since there’s no way to turn back time. Does Tetsuro know how long this pirate has sailed the sea of stars? Maetel asks that pirate the same question, and he begins to panic.

The energy control room begins to operate, and Maetel is engulfed in flames but unharmed. She scolds the pirate, and they return to the 999. Tochiro does not follow, as he has returned to the soul of the Arcadia.

## Summary

Clair has her old body back! She sees that someone collected her body from stardust. Tetsuro asks Maetel if she knows who this person is, and she says yes. However, he must find out on his own on their journey. Clair says that her old body on Pluto was stolen, and that when the Mechanical Empire fell, some of those mechanical people decided to take bodies that didn't belong to them instead of returning to their own. A woman steps on Mii-kun's tail, and apologizes, as her and a similar looking woman pass by their car. Maetel says they're the Space Grenadiers of the Valkyries. She says they're from the same group as their last journey.

Tetsuro wonders if Andromeda is their final destination this time, but Maetel tells him to look at his pass. This time, it says Earth --> Eternal. Maetel says they're heading for the Altemeta Galaxy's Great Nebula of Light, toward Eternal! Tetsuro wonders why nobody on Earth has heard of Eternal, but Maetel says that's because it's a secret, being held by the "Ruler of Darkness', who is their foe now.

The Conductor says they're arriving on Bright Ring Firefly, a planet that Maetel says is special to her. They stay at a hot spring, and a young girl greets them, and already knows their names. She's Iselle, the manager of the resort. She introduces them to her father, who's holding a 3D hologram of their pictures. The two depart the planet, and Iselle waves goodbye to her first...and last visitors. As the 999 leaves, the planet explodes. The 999 weathered the gravity wave, but now the fragment barrage is next.

The fragments begin to approach a defenseless 999, and all hope seems lost. Suddenly, the fragments are destroyed, and the Arcadia emerges! A 3D hologram appears on top of the Arcadia and greets Tetsuro. Maetel asks Harlock how Tochiro is doing, and he says "our friend" is as busy as always. Harlock says they will fly under the same flag again soon, and seems quick to rush off. Maetel asks of Emeraldas' whereabouts, but Harlock says he had the same question for her.

The Space Grenadiers call Clair and Kanon to the dining car, as one of the people responsible for Bright Ring Firefly's demise lay dead. A mechanical being! Tetsuro is surprised to see they're still in existence. Tetsuro opens his bento box that was prepared by Iselle and begins to weep. The 999 passes by Bright Ring Firefly's moon, and Tetsuro begs the conductor to stop so he can eulogize her properly.

One of the Spacer Grenaider's asks Maetel why she's curious about Emeraldas whereabouts. She tells them that the Valkyries are curious as well, and are willing to sacrifice their life for Maetel.

## *二重惑星ギロチーヌ I*

## Summary

The Conductor notices a leak in one of the back cars of the 999 and goes to fix it. Maetel notices one of the droplets is an odd gray, and goes in his place. As she suspected, there are liquid beings in the back who tell her that the 999 will soon be destroyed. Maetel tells the conductor to detach the car and activate barrier field. There’s a large explosion, but everyone seems unharmed. Luckily, the rear cars of the 999 were empty.

Maetel says that that was a special force sent by a Metanoid space centurion. They were the lowest ranking of forces, sent simply as a suicide squadron. Tetsuro says that his mother told him that he had ancestors like that, simply ready to die in order to destroy their enemies. Maetel explains the origins of the Metanoid heart, and says the one who orders them around will meet them soon.

The new rear cars attach to the 999, and a small piece of the Metanoid returns. It’s too small, and cannot return to its old form. The conductor lets it fly out the back of the train, drifting off into the sea of stars. The next stop is the Double Planet Guillotine!

The 999 arrives, and Tetsuro and Maetel are greeted by a woman who calls herself Centurion Guillotine.
