Looking up at the purple panorama of the galaxy highway...
...a shooting star pierces my heart.
My accelerating heartbeat is
synchronized with the sleepless city...
...and I suddenly pray for the unseen tomorrow...
...that brings that melody.
A mysterious voice won't let me go.
Oh, tell me seventh moon, this frustrated heart...
...where will you take me to?
To sway in the blue seventh moon...
...searching for the answer to the rhythm in this crazy dance.
In the year 2009, humanity encountered its first alien race.
The result was an intergalactic war with a militaristic race of giants called Zentraedi.
The Earth was thrown into what seemed a never-ending crisis.
In the year 2010, March, the war was brought to an end.
In April of the same year, the New Unity Government was established...
...bringing together mankind and the Zentraedi into peaceful co-existence.
This resulted in a mass micronization of the remaining Zentraedi via the "Micron Process."
In September of 2011, the Unity Government devised a colonization plan...
...centered upon the preservation of the human race.
In September of the next year, the first colonial transport...
...the Megaroad One began its journey.
In September of 2030, the first of the new Macross-class transports...
...a gigantic vessel dwarfing its Megaroad predecessor, departed Earth.
These ships could carry in excess of one million people.
In 2038, the 37th colonial expedition, the 7th Macross fleet, launched from earth orbit.
Its destination -- the Galactic Core.
It is now 2045...
Captain Max ! We've received an SOS from the advanced guard !
An unidentified force has launched a surprise attack.
What's that ?
Looks like they're in the middle of a battle.
Let's do it !
Nekki Basara.
Unbelievable !
You're interfering in a military operation !
Is he following in the footsteps of Linn Minmei ?
Primary operation complete ! Return to base !
Wait a minute ! It's not over yet !
"SPIRITIA" LEVEL
If you become the wind, I want to become the endless sky.
Docker...
How is he ?
Well, I've never seen a condition like this before.
His vital signs are growing weaker.
He's hovering between life and death.
But I can't pin it on anything documented.
It's as if all of them lack the energy to simply live.
What ?
At the moment, there's no way to treat it.
I'll finish it, next time.
Boroughneize leader reports everything normal.
Have you received a report from SES yet ?
No. It's taking longer than usual.
There's simply not enough data to analyze.
We cannot determine what kind of weapons they appear to be using.
All right, why don't we send out some Conserax ?
Captain, a Mr. Lovelock is here to see you.
Oh, is it that time already ?
If I can relieve you from your sadness, I'll keep singing...
...until my voice grows hoarse.
Geez ! Won't you leave me alone ?!
How long are you going to follow me ?
Until you stop. Where are you going ?
Mylene, pull over !
Yeah, right !
What are you doing ? Keep on her tail !
It's impossible ! I can't !
She's going into Akusho !
After her !
Akusho's a dangerous area and hasn't been registered as part of the fleet.
Why would she go there ?
Just follow her !
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing ?
Michael !
Ray ! Ray !
Ray ! Are you in ?
Ray...
Keep it down ! Ray's not in !
Where did he go ?
I don't know.
Geez !
Hey, will you let me in ?
Why should I ?
Hey, stop with the questions, just let me in !
Come in if you want.
How do I get in ?
The downstairs door is open.
Downstairs ?
What is this place ?
Weird room !
If you don't like it, you don't have to come in.
I didn't say that.
Hey, is there any place to hide ?
Hide anywhere you want.
Excuse me.
Are you Nekki Basara ?
And you are ?
Mayor Miria.
You are ?
Not me ! Are you even aware of who the Mayor is ?
Thirty years ago...
Oh, come on, Guvava ! What are you doing ?!
...and received more than 90% of the votes in the election !
I know.
Where is Miss Mylene ?!
I don't know.
I know you're hiding her...
That tickles, Guvava !
...if you keep playing innocent with me.
I really don't know where she is.
She must be here !
How dare you !
No one steps a foot in my room unless I say so !
I'm kinda busy. Later.
Stop acting as if you know nothing !
Family problems should be kept within the family.
What ?!
Michael !
Mylene ! I know you're in there !
You know I'll never allow you to live on your own.
Come back home immediately !
Hey, it's here.
Hey, how did you get it ?
What ?
The Valkyrie.
Ray gave it to me.
From Ray ?
Yeah.
Where'd he get it ?
Don't know.
Hey, how could you do such a thing ?
Do what ?
Jump into a battle while you were singing ?
It's something I've wanted to do.
Come on ! Did you think you could just quit the concert ?
Didn't you think you could have gotten into trouble or danger ?
What if you'd been killed ?!
Wha ?
Don't you have any sense of responsibility ?
We're just musicians and we have an audience to perform for !
Our job is to perform songs, to sing from the heart and to entertain them !
Yeah.
Don't give me that !
Let me ask you this, why were you singing out there ?
Don't you understand ?
No, I don't. That's why...!
I sure am thirsty. Do you have anything cold to drink ?
There's some lemonade in the refrigerator downstairs. Bring me some.
What's that ?
What ?
Oh, nothing.
Now I know why the girl I replaced quit the band.
So many straws.
Why does he have so many straws in the refrigerator ?
I guess a lot of girls must come by to see him.
Hey, do you have girls coming by your place often ?
Hey ! Those straws are for girls, right ?
Hey ! Did anyone bring them ?
Hey, why don't you answer me ?
Basara !
Basara, are you in ?
Oh, excuse me.
Ray...
Yeah.
Come in.
Okay.
Ray, what's wrong ?
Nothing.
Where did you go ?
Well, I had something to do.
Well, you weren't here when I needed you.
What happened ?
No idea. The mayor came by on a visit.
Your mom ?
What was she doing here ?
She's trying to force me into an arranged marriage.
An arranged marriage ?
Yup. She's already decided on who my husband is going to be.
Isn't that horrible ?
I don't know.
That isn't funny.
All right, all right. Anyway, we need to get the stage ready, first.
It's starting an hour earlier today.
Veffidas is there already.
It looks like they were able to sound the alarm this time.
The enemy's back for another round ?
Maybe.
Hey, Basara ! What about the gig ?
What about our fans ?
Irresponsible, irresponsible, irresponsible !
I'll make it back in time !
Liar ! You're always late ! Don't you even care about our gig ?
It's bad enough that you sing in battle, but leaving your fans high and dry ?!
Talk about stupidity !
Oh, shut up ! You don't understand yet !
And what's that ? What do you think singing is ?
Singing is the burning heart of passion !
Geez ! What if you get killed ?!
Basara, you can try going over it again and again to see if your song will be recognized.
Defense line one: B formation. Markreis, Shibacris, accelerating toward the line.
What about Diamond Force ?
Ensign Physica has received his orders and is preparing to launch.
We want to stop them from getting within range of our fleet.
Right.
What's the Conseraxs' status ?
The Boroughneize is launching them now. Conserax, TA-1, one pack.
This really sucks !
You...understand that ?
What ?
Basara's notes...
Yeah. It's a nice tune.
You can understand it ?
Alright, let's go.
The gig ? What about Basara ?
He'll probably be late again.
The second wave leader is mounting a counterattack. The fleet commander...
Gamlin, Physica, we're running a little behind them, but we'll catch up with F2 and XO.
Roger.
Docker, I'm taking them down for you, and for Diamond Force.
Spiritia Level 55.
The Spiritia increases in times of crisis. This group's mean value is high.
How about attacking the main fleet ?
That isn't our objective.
Yes, sir.
D-Force launch in twenty seconds.
Markreis is preparing to launch fighters.
It's him !
Sir. This is D-2, a Code V9 Valkyrie...
F2 and XO. No changes!
D-Force, launch !
Captain, we have a visual from Conserax.
Okay.
Analysis unit !
Connecting on channel 32.
Conserax controller, head to the fighter's cockpit !
Can't see anything.
It can't be. They're...
What's wrong, Advisor Exedore ?
No, it's nothing.
Well, that couldn't possibly happen.
That craft is about the right size for an Earthling.
Advisor...
Captain ! A code V9 Valkyrie has...
That's him.
What is this ?
His Spiritia level is strange. I've been waiting for him.
Civilian, withdraw ! Get out of the battlezone !
ID Code V9 ! Please withdraw !
I'm going to take your Spiritia !
This is a battlezone !
This battle is senseless ! Listen to my song !
Let's get started, it's Saturday Night. How're you guys doin' ?
Let's stand up, do you feel the beat ?
This is a flying paradise. A forgotten energy...
Withdraw ! Get out of here !
Now hurry up, and take it back.
I told you, you're getting in the way !
No more wastin' time.
Before everything fades away like a dream...
You're interfering in military affairs. Why haven't you been arrested yet ?
D-2, forget about him !
Give me an answer ! What are you trying to do ?
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Answer me ! Why are you singing ?
Let's dance. Dancing on the planet dance.
Answer me !
Why are you singing ?
Answer me !
A liar sings a sad song of surrender.
I said, answer me !
No thanks ! You're of no help.
Why ?!
Ever-changing constellations and invisible sweat and tears...
...bringing courage into my heart.
No more wastin' love, don't ruin your love.
Singing is the burning heart of passion !
Someone must be looking only at you.
Hey, everybody ! Straight from your heart...
His Spiritia level is different from the others.
You're mine.
What kind of Spiritia is this ?
Wha...What the hell is he ?
Hey, everybody ! Aim at the light.
Return to base ! Objective complete !
The enemy group has withdrawn, heading towards SR201.
Speed 4600.
Have each squadron return to base.
Dispatch another squadron to pick up survivors and enemy wreckage.
Roger !
Let's shout. Jumpin' on the planet dance.
Once again, they left before I could finish.
This is starting to bug the hell out of me.
What's that ? It wasn't as fun as I thought.
I don't know. It sure got me excited.
Nobody gave him a hand for his song.
Hey, do you know where Mylene went ?
Well, she was here a minute ago.
This is getting on my nerves. Nobody listened to my song.
Basara !
What are you doing ?
Our gig is about to begin !
Aren't you going back to the gig ? Our audience is waiting for us !
You said that you'd make it back in time.
You're a liar, liar, liar !
Oh, shut up ! I didn't say I wasn't going to the gig.
You're late. Are you going to make Veffidas and Ray repeat the intro this time, too ?
Why not ?
