The leader of the pirates is triumphant over this easy prey when many of his fellow ships explode by laser attacks from distance. He soon recognises the attacker as Angel Links.
At the bridge of Angel, the flagship of Angel Links, a buxom young girl (Li Meifon) is at the helm. Seeing the grapplerships of the pirates are trying to leave the area hastily, a blonde lady on the bridge (Valeria Bertone) thinks they are not worthwhile for her to make any special plan and a dinosaur man next to her (Doose Deracures Rex) seems to share the opinion, calmly caring his sword. But the captain has no intention to let them go; she is determined to destroy them before the tea which her chief assistant (Hida Kousei; his first job at Angel Links was to serve tea ^_^;;) is brewing gets cold. Angel's main weapon, Links Cannon, wipes the entire pirate fleets off with a stroke.
SubtitleThe Oración System is known to be rich in mineral resources among the frontier systems. So a number of cargo ships come and go in the system, which have attracted many pirates who prey on them. Police are powerless before them and companies have to employ private guards to protect their ships. Consequently many security firms with latest battleships have been founded. Among them Angel Links has given a lot of hopes to small companies without much money as they do the job for nothing. The group is led by the buxom 16-year-old, Li Meifon.
Angel lands on Oración IV, where their base is set. The main crew of Angel attend a party hosted by the Links Group [be aware of Fred Lo at the beginning of the scene ^_^]. There are many people who want to compliment Angel and Meifon, honestly or sarcastically. She tells them to thank her grandfather, not herself, because it was his will to beat pirates free of charge. Doose isn't happy to see himself in such a flamboyant party but Valeria tells him it is part of their contract. She also knows Meifon is a formidable enemy to most of the guests.
A man, looking like an ancient Chinese philosopher (^_^;;), approaches Meifon. She doesn't know him, which offends him not a little. He introduces himself as Gordon Hoi, who also runs a security firm. He is less than diplomatic and his envy against her and her Angel Links is more than obvious. Meifon scarcely keeps herself from exploding.
In the space, a gentleman and a young girl are heading to Oración IV but their fleets get attacked by pirates.
Meifon is eating nikuman (meat bun) to ease her frustration. Kousei tries to comfort her by saying it is no wonder to attract bad wills as they destroys pirates for nothing. "Besides such a young and beautiful woman owns the company!" Meifon's words are met unenthusiastic response from Kousei, which angers Meifon. Fortunately to him, they are interrupted by a member of their staff; she has come to whisper something to Meifon.
The leader of the pirates wants 100kg of Longan for the hostage. Valeria knows one of the hostage, Leon Lau. Kousei confirms that he was on the way to today's party. He was with guardships but they were powerless against the pirates because they are a member of Acid B, one of the biggest and most dangerous families of pirates.
Meifon loses no time to take action. She is named by the pirates and one of her guests is the hostage. "Why don't you go out to welcome?"
Angel takes off from the base [the take-off sequence would please at least a few] after a small flying object [presumably to protect itself against the shock wave]. Gordon watches Angel taking off from distance. Apparently he knows something. "They do anything for money; even kidnapping."
EyecatcherKousei reports brutal deeds of Exciade Rigo to date and Valeria tells about the hostage; Leon has emerged as a leader of the passenger transport industry in recent years. He is also known as a benevolent person.
Leon is at the deck with his adopted daughter and the head of the pirates. He tells the pirate how reckless of him to challenge Angel Links. The leader is not, of course, pleased to hear it and threats him and the girl, Yayoi.
Then Angel arrives in the area. Its crew are shocked to see the debris of what was used to be guardships. Meifon wants to exchange Longan with the hostage. Exciade orders her to board on their ship without arms. So Meifon, Kousei and Doose get into the pirates' ship. Exciade is pleasantly surprised to find the leader of Angel Links is a pretty girl as rumours have said. He wants to body-search her ^_^;; Although Doose tries to stop him, Meifon lets him do so. But just before he touches her breasts, something comes out of between them and bites Exciade's finger. It's a small animal, something like a cat with bat-like wings. His bite didn't cause much damage but Exciade wants the business now more than his personal interest ^_^;;.
Exciade checks the Longan. Meifon wants the hostage to be freed but he orders her and Kousei, as well as the two hostages, to stay with them until they reach a safe area. Doose goes back to Angel alone, where Valeria orders to wait in alert until Meifon contacts them.
In the pirate ship, Leon apologises to Meifon. She tries to cheers Yayoi up with ventriloquism using her Teddy bear and achieves a great success. Meifon tells Leon his daughter is cute but he replies that she is not his daughter; she lost her parents when she was very small. Kousei remembers that Leon established a school for orphans. Leon admits it might be only self-satisfaction but he doesn't care as long as he can see the small smiling faces.
Tarfei, who has been playing with Yayoi, suddenly jumps up and hides between Meifon's breasts. Exciade comes into the room and tell them the ship is now in their territory. They will be thrown away into space. Meifon pushes Kousei hard towards Exciade. He pretends he is tottering to approach the pirate then strikes him in the stomach. Meifon gets the machine gun he has dropped and they manage to escape from the room. As she runs away, Meifon calls Angel, which starts to advance at the maximum speed.
Meifon and the others come to a hanger, where small life-saving pots are kept. As they are getting on one of them, Yayoi runs back to pick up her Teddy bear she dropped. The delay is enough for the pirates to catch up. Now Exciade holds Yayoi in his arm. Leon dashes to him but gets shot in the arm. The pirate is about to shoot Yayoi when the scene reminds Meifon oh another; a man points his gun at a small girl, crying, with blue hair... and then shoots her.
The report of the gun triggers Meifon's anger. She summons Tarfei, which jumps out of her breasts and attacks the pirate to release Yayoi. Then the animal transforms into a big sword and Meifon sticks the pirate with it. His death and Valeria's voice from Meifon's bracelet telling Angel's arrival are enough for the other pirates to run away.
Meifon and the others are back on Angel's bridge. She immediately orders to get the Links Cannon ready. Yet again the blast of the Links Cannon wipes off the entire pirate fleet, which immensely angers Gordon, who has been monitoring the situation.
Meifon is in a graveyard. She reports the progress of Angel Links to the grave of her grandfather, Li Chenho. Then Leon and Yayoi come there. She wants to thank Meifon and gives her a bunch of flowers. The place is surrounded by cherry blossoms and peace.
In the evening Kousei comes to the grave in search of Meifon. He cannot find her but her grave instead. It says she dies 30th June 159 at the age of 17 [this is future. That is, someone has predicted her death].
