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...
...calling together mankind and 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...
I've never seen symptoms like these before.
At the moment, there's no way to treat it.
Why did you do that ?
It's something I've wanted to do.
And what's that ? What do you think singing is ?
Singing is the burning heart of passion !
It can't be, they're... Well, that couldn't possibly happen.
What are you doing ?
Why won't you give me an answer ?!
Twice...
Twice in a row, they refused to hear the entire song.
What's missing ?
What sound do I need to add to reach into their hearts ?
FIRE SCRAMBLE
Alright ! Super Nova ! It's Super Nova !
Ray ! Aren't you up yet ?
We need to start as soon as possible !
Are you nuts ?!
Ray's room is over there !
Hold on ! You're taking part in Super Nova Live, right ?
Hurry up and get ready !
I don't want to go.
You can't be serious ! It's Super Nova ! The Super Nova !
Queen & King and The Mosaic Band debuted at this concert !
So what ?
What's with this "so what" crud ?! Don't you understand ?
It means Fire, us, finally have a shot to prove to the world that we're real musicians !
What does that mean ?
"What's does that mean ?" What's your problem ?!
Ray, talk to her.
Good morning, Mylene.
Ray ! Oh, you surprised me !
You surprised me, too.
I thought this building was going to fall apart from all your shouting.
Because Super Nova's coming up !
It's the gateway to success for new bands !
Would you knock it off ?! You keep going on and on !
What's with you ?!
You're in a bad mood, Basara.
You really hate the idea of bringing the Valkyrie, don't you ?
Oh, that thing ? Well, we had to use it to get on the list.
It's not that.
Then what is it ?!
Is it your policy not to let somebody tell you when or where to perform ?
That's right.
That's why I don't sing when I don't want to.
Basara, this is the song we'll be playing. Take a look at it.
You're persistent.
We'll be waiting for you. It's going to be held at Starry Sky Hall in Central City.
By the way, I already had your Valkyrie taken to the hall.
What ?!
How dare you !
Basara...
I don't think it'll be so bad singing at Starry Sky Hall.
See ya ! We'll meet you there !
Would you like some juice ?
Juice ! Juice !
Tasty juice !
Good morning, everyone.
Today we will be talking with the two leaders of City Seven to give us some perspective...
...on the recent alien attacks:
Captain Maximilian Jenius and Mayor Miria Farina Jenius.
Well then...
Captain Maximilian, there's no question that the military has managed...
Excuse me...
...to stave off the enemy for now with our two major victories.
That's correct.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to identify the aliens as of yet.
We will, however, continue to oppose them with everything we've got.
Why did you delay contacting City Hall until after the battle was well under way ?
Without as much as a warning to us, the military began its blasting...
How come there's nothing but junk on the news today ?
I thought they'd show some footage from the Queen & King concert !
The military has stated that they were able to drive the enemy back...
...but I've been told that it has sustained serious casualties in doing so.
That's just a farfetched rumor.
Is it so farfetched ? I've been told...
Alright...Alright...Alright...
Stop !
Akiko, are you sure about...
...inviting a bunch of unknowns to play at the Super Nova is a good idea ?
Everybody here started off as unknowns.
Besides, this Valkyrie is famous.
I want you to tell me the truth.
I am telling the truth.
The families of the downed pilots have only been allowed to see them behind glass panels...
...and they haven't been told anything.
Veffidas, good morning !
You want me to calm down, even after...
Let me explain this to you, Mayor Miria...
I guess it's a little difficult for the citizens to understand...
...but military regulations...
Oh, not that again ! Military reg...
Mom and Dad haven't changed a bit.
Don't you have an obligation to inform us of the current condition of these soldiers ?
That's correct.
...bass guitar of Mosaic, they say.
How sick. Queen & King fans.
Is this the right way to the Hoshinote line ?
Asshole.
Stop it !
You're the one that's been frightening the citizens with these unsubstantiated rumors.
Now tell me the truth !
I told you, everything I've said is true.
You really are a hard nut to crack.
And you're just as stubborn.
What did you say ?! I'm going to hold you responsible for those words.
You'll be just as responsible.
What does that mean ?
So that's it. The Captain and the Mayor share completely opposite viewpoints.
And it has apparently spread into your private lives as well.
The rumor is that the both of you have formally divorced.
That's just a groundless rumor !
But, is this it for City Seven...
I guess I was right.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, but I have to get back to the bridge.
I have to leave as well.
Geez. We missed the bus.
Ain't our fault. Those Queen and King fans sure fucked up the air around here.
Shut up ! That's it, asshole !
All you do is raz us !
Like when ?
What was all that shit about us being out of whack ?!
I mean, anyone who likes Queen and King must be whacked in their minds.
Mosaic's the weakest band out...
Come on, everyone.
Who are you ?
Fire Bomber.
Who ?
Maybe you haven't heard the name. But does this sound familar ?
In this operation, our attack party will split into two.
One group will fold out at a range of 2,000 from the enemy ship.
That group will draw their defenses away.
When they engage and pursue, our main strikeforce will fold out above the mother ship.
If all goes well, this operation will hold until the guards return.
[Yes - Gepelnitch is really a guy!!]
One moment please, Lord Gepelnitch.
I don't think we need to resort to such ploys.
Do you not like my plan, Gigil ?
Not at all, m'lord !
Then execute it.
Yes, sir !
Will Basara show up ?
I don't know.
Haven't all your members arrived yet ?
If you want, we can arrange somebody to take his place from another band.
No way !
Anybody would work.
What I'm saying is, everybody's going to stare at the Valkyrie, not you.
Wait a minute...!
Okay, I'll wait just another hour.
The other bands will just have to perform ahead of you then.
We'll get into trouble, Akiko !
Next time, you're cancelled if you're late like this again.
Alright. I'll go look for him !
You've gotten much nicer since last time we met.
I've changed a lot since we were together.
Geez !
You sonuva' bitch ! That's enough !
I hate your singing !
Basara !
Hey, knock it off !
What ?!
What are you doing ?!
Don't get in the way again, you little bitch !
Oh, no ! Murderer !
I'll get you for this, you shithead !
You're going to pay for that !
Go to hell, asshole !
Basara...
Oh, my God... I hit someone...
You idiot ! I hit them because of you !
I can't resort to force.
I have to get through to them with my song.
What are you talking about ?
Let's fuck him up.
Let's kill him !
Get in !
Okay !
What are you doing ?
Man, I swear. You're nothing but trouble.
Basara, did you look at the song we're going to perform ?
Nope.
You already tossed it ?
Here.
I'm in no mood to do this...Not today...
This is the one I just composed.
That's right. It's our new song.
I practiced real hard on it.
It's still a little rough, but I think it's good.
Captain on the bridge.
We've received word from the rear ship, Doriboguld.
An enemy ship has folded out.
We've confirmed that it has launched assault craft, 2000 and closing.
2000 ?
That's quite a distance from where they usually come in.
It might be a ploy.
All right, put Diamond Force on standby.
All rear interceptors, lead them to sector GGR.
It's that guy !
That's the bastard !
Next up is Fire Bomber !
Everyone, listen to my heart !
If you become the wind, I want to become the endless sky.
We don't want to listen to your music !
Get off !
Your music sucks !
Put on Queen and King !
When I'm lost in...
New enemy ship sighted.
Range 300. It's launching assault craft.
That must be their main attack force.
All right. Diamond Force, takeoff !
Rear interceptors, Sky, Red, Orange, head to Macross defensive sector T05...
Advanced defense squadron Blue Zones....
Please follow all instructions and begin making your way to the shelters.
Ray...
Patience ! Patience, please !
This is so lame !
Enemy contact.
Enter battle in formation D !
They still hadn't launched all their fighters ?
Shit. They figured out our plan.
I didn't expect Gepelnitch's plan to work.
Calm down ! Don't rush !
Basara !
I'm going out for a while !
Basara !
I'll continue my performance out there.
He's doing something stupid !
He must like doing stupid things !
Too easy.
Where the hell are you going ?!
We have been so ordered by Lord Gepelnitch.
Ordered by Gepelnitch ?
What does that mean ?
Change formation D to F !
Surround the enemy leader !
These flies are beginning to annoy me !
There he is again !
Third time's always a charm. Be sure to listen !
Here we go.
Come on, people. I want you to feel this.
Wow ! He's nuts !
It is him !
Even if it takes time.
Pretty good...
Quit moving around !
Come on, people. For the rest of my life...
Move it ! Get out of my way !
Get out of my way !
...I'll protect you. My soul for you.
Stop, Gamlin ! Don't bother with him !
But...
That's a direct order !
Roger.
Come on, people. I want you to believe in me.
This disturbance of Spiritia... I've got to do it !
I'll stay just as I am.
Come on, people. Like the sun...
He's serious.
He's a helluva lot better than those hacks, Queen and King.
Yeah. He sure isn't Mosaic ! His music touches my soul.
...I'll light up your life. My soul for you.
Why, you... !
Come on, people. I want you to believe in me.
I'll stay...
A report from our raiding party.
"We have successfully infiltrated."
"We will proceed with stage two once our decoy unit returns to the main fleet."
End of transmission.
I'll stay just as I am.
He excites me.
Gigil.
Lord Gepelnitch !
Return to the main fleet. The operation is complete.
Complete ? What do you mean ?
Damn you, Gepelnitch ! You used me as a decoy !
I'll light up your life. My soul for you.
Come on people.
Amazing ! He wasn't even hit !
He just kept singing even though he coulda been killed.
He's so uncool, but I feel like turning myself inside out !
Nekki Basara is serious... Seriously whacked !
Welcome back, Basara.
Yeah.
What's wrong ? You look depressed.
Nothing... Nothing's wrong.
Don't be disappointed.
I'm not disa...!
Look !
Your song was great !
I'm definitely going to your next concert !
Guys...
But I hit you...
Forget about that.
Those sounds were awesome !
I don't know what you were trying to do...
...but whatever you did just, like, woke us up !
Yeah, you shook us up.
You got it ! I'm gonna shake you up some more !
