[Opening Scene: Outer Space - Cosmic Storm]
The cosmos swirls in turmoil as a cosmic storm rages. Suddenly, the universe is bathed in the red light of a solar flare. Otto van Borenshausen’s dark army advances towards Earth.
[Scene 2: Earth - Various Locations]
Otto van Borenshausen takes control of Earth’s broadcasting networks. His face appears on every screen, from Times Square in New York to personal phones.
Otto van Borenshausen: People of Earth, the Dark Reich now rules this planet. Surrender or face annihilation.
The leaders of every country team up, their militaries fighting Otto's army, but they are all defeated. Humanity is enslaved, ancient landmarks like the Colosseum and Pyramids of Giza are stolen for Otto's secret collection beneath his artificial planet lair. Earth becomes a lifeless rock drifting through space.
[Scene 3: Starblazer - Command Center]
Orion Voss takes a walk on the Starblazer when he notices the cosmos turning red. He senses something is wrong.
Orion Voss: (concerned) This doesn’t feel right...
German-accented ninjas, working for Otto, suddenly appear and attack. The Starblazer crew—Orion, Amelia Frost, Zara, Louis Jaqueline Jean Pierré de Parisên, Woof, Zoé, Celeste, Aric Blane, Professor Quark, Barry Smith White Brumm, Jim Goldshoe, and Xavier Voss—fight back.
Orion is wounded in the fight.
Xavier Voss: Orion, you need to flee!
Orion, injured, activates a portal in his room and escapes to his home in Nottinghamshire, UK.
[Scene 4: Nottinghamshire, UK - Orion's Home]
Orion arrives home, finding it intact, but the outside world is post-apocalyptic. Smoke and rubble are everywhere; the sky is not blue, and the water is red with blood. Orion is in shock.
He ventures out, finding wounded soldiers and ruins, including his old preschool. He finds a DVD of "The Bunny Rabbit Twins" in the rubble, which gives him nostalgia.
Orion reaches his home and finds his parents, preschool teacher, all his school teachers, relatives, and others executed. He buries them, planting a seed at their graves.
Gladiator-inspired flashbacks to Orion’s childhood occur as he collapses from his injuries.
Robin Hood: (in a vision) Have faith, Orion. The seed you planted will restore everything.

Recording: Help us, Orion. We’ve been captured.
Orion learns that his crew, the Senate, Cantonal Guardians, Imperial Houses, and Holy Orders are all trapped in an eerie playground with Otto’s creepy child.
Orion Voss: (determined) I’ll save them. I swear it.
Orion trains for one week, shown in a montage.

Earth’s enslaved life prays for rescue.
[Scene 8: Otto’s Artificial Planet - Execution Chamber]
Otto prepares to execute the Senate in front of the whole universe. Just as he raises his sword, an arrow shoots out of nowhere, knocking the sword away.
Orion Voss: (emerging from the shadows) Not today, Otto!
Orion’s return shocks and overjoys the captives. Otto is enraged.

[Scene 10: Otto’s Artificial Planet - Throne Room]
Otto, furious, grabs his weapons and battles Orion. Otto starts a universe-destroying ritual to create a new universe of discord and chaos. Latin Christian chants counteract Otto’s chaos.
The battle is epic, with light and order combating chaos and discord. Orion struggles to defeat Otto until Otto’s cousin reveals Otto’s weak spot—his neck.
Orion Voss: (aiming carefully) This ends now!
Orion’s arrow hits Otto’s neck, beheading him. A burst of light destroys all evil.
Otto van Borenshausen: (disembodied head) Thank you, Orion.
Otto explains his cursed transformation and his evil ambitions, rooted in his ancestor Adolf Hitler’s legacy. With his death, the curse is lifted, transforming Otto into a good man.
