Starchaser: The Legend of Orin

Get up and dig, worm!

You've got to slow down, Grandfather.

You're too old to keep up this pace.

I've been digging for 70 years, Elan.

Slowing down will only prolong my suffering.

Orin, don't.

You won't survive doing the work of two.

For the prettiest girl in the world,

I'd do the work of 10.

No talking!

The gods forbid it.

Water, water!

Water, water!

Water!

Leave him be.

He's no use to anyone now.

Orin!

Orin!

Zygon, Zygon!

- Zygon! - Zygon!

On your knees!

- The gods of the Mineworld are angry.

They have kept you alive since the beginning of time

and ask very little in return.

The Furnace of Life cries out in hunger.

You must feed more crystals,

or its life-giving energy will burn out forever.

So dig harder or die!

Pick up your gifts and get back to work.

Stop that!

Stop!

What is it, Orin?

Oh, my God!

What's wrong, Hopps?

I thought it was only a myth, but--

Remember what the mine masters say.

We're supposed to give them any.

Not a word!

They must not get this!

But What is it?

Hide it!

Why aren't you working?

No, no, no, no!

My eyes!

Madman.

The sword, the sword!

Up, up there.

Grandfather!

Why?

He's gone!

I have no one now!

You have me.

He died for no reason, Orin.

No, Elan.

Hopps sacrificed his life for us.

But Why?

I don't know.

But whatever Hopps was trying to tell us

had something to do with this.

It's alive!

If, in the distant future,

someone hears these words,

perhaps it is not too late.

These dark corridors are not your true home.

There is a world above, a magnificent universe

to which you can return, if you have the courage.

He who possesses this sword,

possesses the power of truth.

Find the blade,

and you will find your freedom.

He's gone!

A world above?

I don't know.

Freedom?

Lies, all lies!

But why would anyone lie

about an upper world, Raymo?

By believing the words of that demon,

you spit on the most sacred

commandment, never dig up.

Up is Hell.

What if the commandments are wrong?

What if there is a world beyond our own?

By not trying to find it,

we could spend the rest of eternity

digging and dying when there

when there may be something else.

What else could there be?

I don't know.

But on my grandfather's grave I swear,

if there's a world above, I will find it.

Who's with me?

No one's going with you.

I'm turning you both in to the mine masters

for speaking out against the gods.

Now, give me that evil thing!

Orin?

I'm all right, Kallie.

If Raymo tells the mine masters,

you will be killed, Orin.

In that case, I might as well die

trying to find the upper world.

We'll go together, Elan.

I'll go with you, too.

- You'll have to be with us in spirit, Kallie.

- It's too dangerous for one as young as you.

I'm not too young.

You don't want me because I can't see.

Don't leave me, Orin.

I'll die without you.

You'll do just fine.

Aunt Bella will look after you.

But what if you,

what if you don't come back?

I'll come back, Kallie.

I promise.

I love you, little digger.

Hey, you there, back to work!

Orin?

Elan?

Orin?

Orin?

It's all right, Kallie, we're here.

- You almost got yourself killed, you little fool.

You forgot the food!

Hey, you worm!

Why aren't you working?

Quick!

Get in the ore cart, hurry!

After them!

Run, Kallie, run!

Stop, worms, stop!

Jump now!

Orin!

Quick, under the crystals!

Engine systems crew.

All processing robots to Unloading Bay Two.

All processing robots to Unloading.

Where are we?

I don't know.

No, no, keep going!

Zygon!

My congratulations.

You now know what only one other slave

has known in the last 1,200 years.

And like him, you will die with the secret.

You might as well know the rest of the lie.

Behold the great god of Mineworld!

No!

Stop!

No.

The sword with no blade!

Where did you get this?

I'm afraid it won't be of any use to you now.

Watch out for the crystals!

If there is a world above,

I'll find it for you, Elan.

Never mind me.

Kill the boy!

A fitting grave for a slave of Trinia.

Never dig up.

Up is Hell.

What have you got to tell me

this time, old man?

Is this your magnificent universe?

It's not a lie!

It's not a lie!

A human.

I want his hair.

Ow, let go!

I get his arm.

- Get your claws off him, you greedy swamp scum.

Maybe the fleshy boy doesn't want

to give up his body parts.

Do you?

No.

Well, that's just too bad.

Because we're going to take them anyway.

I'm sorry I escaped.

I'll go back!

Shut up, human.

Your brain must have worms eating it.
