Ep. 5: Marika beschließt, Bentenmaru zu befehligen, nachdem sie Lightning XI überlistet hat

Instead of going around the Sand of the Red Star, Marika proposes that the spaceship should turn once it reaches the planet's atmosphere. Furthermore, they will let the ghost ship jam their radar and hack into a fake operating system of the Odette II, as a ruse to counteract against and take control of this enemy spaceship. As the plan goes as predicted, the club secretly identifies the ghost ship as the Lighting XI. After the Lightning XI sends a threatening message, Lynn Lambretta successfully hacks into the Lighting XI's operating system to disable its engines. After purposely shutting down its computer systems, the Lighting XI starts shooting beams at the Odette II using optical targeting. Although Chiaki prepares to have the ship accelerate away, Marika stops her, knowing that they will be spotted by the Lightning XI's infrared sensors. Instead, Marika uses the spaceship's solar sails to completely blind the Lighting XI. Two pirate spaceships, named Bentenmaru and Barbaroosa, come to help destroy the Lightning XI during this time. When Marika returns home, she tells her mother that she has made her decision to become the captain of the Bentenmaru. (Source: Wikipedia)
