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.
If it wasn't for Nekki Basara, punching the computer like that...
Hey, hey ! Planet Dance is up to number 8 !
It's due to the documentary on Linn Minmei, right ?
I have wondered since I was a small boy, what is Linn Minmei ?
I don't care, just stop it !
What are you doing ? Hurry up and change to Gerwalk !
Are you okay, old lady ?
A Girl's Jealousy
It was such an embarrassment !
Perhaps you had better rest.
I don't have time for that.
I'll have to take the Valkyrie out again if the enemy attacks.
The doctor has forbidden that.
So, have you been able to find out anything about the captured enemy soldier ?
He won't answer any questions.
We can't even tell if he understands us.
His life signs are normal.
In other words, you haven't gotten any information about the enemy, then ?
We don't know what to do.
I'll interrogate him.
Who are your people ? What is your purpose ?
Who are you ?
We have the results from our DNA analysis of the prisoner.
Where is the alien from ?
Actually, the prisoner is Homo Sapiens...
In other words, human.
What ?!
Impossible !
What does that mean ?
Do you mean he's from Earth ?
Yes, I'm positive.
Make sure you don't let this information get out.
Yes, ma'am !
Welcome to the carnival hosted by the mayor.
Please enjoy yourselves, adults and children alike.
Man, what's she thinking, anyway ?
She has an ulterior motive.
Look.
What's that ?
Disguising it as a carnival, she's trying to get people to bring out the Battroids they own.
The more Battroids that can fight, the better.
Welcome to the carnival hosted by the mayor.
Please enjoy yourselves, adults and children alike.
During peacetime, Battroids are unnecessary.
It might be best that they are used this way.
Think so ?
What's this ?
Hey, is this for real ?
How about it ? As good as new, isn't it ?
I've been polishing it every day since I retired from service.
The time has finally come when it can be useful.
He's sure got nerve.
I'm amazed he kept it.
I don't like it at all.
Ray, they've got these Battroids together, but what about the pilots ?
They aren't going to make old retired soldiers do it, are they ?
If they can.
Now, the main event of the carnival. Try riding in a Battroid.
Can you pass the test ?
I've got the high score on "Batt II" at the arcade !
Nobody's beaten it yet !
Hey, look at this.
They're recruiting for pilots among citizens.
Are they serious ?
The mayor is. If they test enough people, there might be a few with potential.
I just don't know...
I think it's a waste of time.
It's Mayor Miria's plan to make it work.
I've been asked to do the maintenance on the Battroids.
She asked you to be an instructor for the pilots.
Me ?! I won't do it !
Come on, don't say that !
Basara ! Ray !
Over here !
What are you doing ?
Standing in line.
I'm going to ride a Battroid !
That's the trouble with kids !
What do you mean ?!
What're you going to ride it for ? It's not an amusement park ride !
Why not, it's a carnival !
Mylene !
Mylene, don't ride them.
Why not ?
This is a test, to see whether you'll be useful when the enemy attacks !
They're looking for pilots who can fight !
Really ?
Yes.
I'll do it for sure, then !
Even more then, I'll try hard !
Mylene, we're talking about actual combat, you might actually get killed !
I'll do it anyway ! I've got to !
Mylene !
You're just feeding the fire, Ray.
You know what she's like.
Well, yeah.
Mylene F. Jenius...
Yes !
Fourteen years old.
Yes. Is there an age limit ?
No. There's none.
I'll pass the test then !
Well, you have to take the test first.
It's all right, Battroids are like toys to me !
What're you...?!
M...Mayor !
You can't do it even if Battroids are like toys and there's no age limitation !
Just behave yourself !
Why ?! I want to...!
Don't give me anything else to worry about !
I can't be watching over you all the time !
Disqualified. Next.
It's not fair.
Geez, Mom gets to ride the Battroids...
I'm totally into this. It's like the theme song of the Rex Gang !
See ? Sing it next time you ride the Milky Road. It's great !
But there's no Milky Road now.
We always rode outside the limits anyway.
It's so frustrating not being able to get out in space !
I wonder if the mayor realizes, asking us to ride the Battroids ?
She doesn't realize at all.
That's gotta be it !
Get back in line !
Okay !
She's trying so hard. Rex really wants to talk to you.
Good luck, then !
What're you smiling about ?
Thank you very much !
What about them ?
There you are.
What about them ?
I guess they're going to apply.
Didn't you try to stop them ?
Why ?
You called me a kid and tried to stop me !
But you are a kid.
Did you pass the test ?
Who knows !
What're you doing ?
Who knows.
What's with her ?
Pull on the lever slowly. Slowly !
That's too much !
Dad, maybe you shouldn't do this.
You might be right.
Hey, don't do anything unnecessary !
Disqualified !
All these parts need to be replaced.
Okay.
Ray !
Tomorrow's concert begins at one o'clock, right ?
That's right, we're one of the main attractions of the festival.
Don't we need to practice ?
I can't afford to right now. Practice with Basara and the others.
Basara ! Teach us how to ride Battroids !
But your name, Nekki Basara, is on the list of instructors.
I refused, though.
Just teach us the basics.
Oh, I guess so.
Great ! Let's go !
There are three configurations, and they all feel different.
How are they different ?
You'll know once you ride them.
You should be particularly careful with the Gerwalk.
No problem ! You know about our motorcycle techniques !
It's totally different.
Your arm's tense.
If you apply force unnaturally the picture on the monitor will blur.
He's working pretty hard at it.
They're so slow !
Gamlin, why're you in such a hurry ?
Well, it's...
Miss Mylene...
...your shining eyes are searching for ?
Oh, my friends !
I'm going to run with you toward a star where our dreams are.
When we look at each other everything will become real.
Veffidas, we're gonna practice for quite a while yet !
Thanks, Veffidas ! See ya later !
It's morning already !
Yeah.
Later.
Bye.
Hot coffee ?
Yes.
Would you like a hamburger with that ?
Ah, no.
How about an apple pie ?
Uh, just...
Why were Rex and Basara together that early in the morning ?
Miss, I saw it too.
Huh ?
I saw a young woman coming out of Basara's place.
And it was early in the morning.
The two of them probably had morning coffee together.
Miss, you're slow on the uptake.
What is it ?
If a healthy man and a woman spent the night together then they've...
They played cards ? Like seven bridge ?
You're not getting it.
You know how they say, there's something after love ?
It's the alphabet, in reverse.
After love between a man and woman ?
The alphabet in reverse.
A, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i...
Before i there's h...
"H" (etchi) ! (= dirty/sex)
That's stupid !
Akiko !
I'm going to record this performance.
Okay.
Where's Basara ?
I need to go over some things.
Who knows ? He's probably off with some girl somewhere !
He's an embarrassment to our band !
Mylene.
What, jealousy ?!
Right. It's jealousy.
Me ?
About Basara ?
No way !
That's...
The enemy battle machines are concentrated in one area.
Destroy the enemy battle machines.
Yes, sir.
I'll go get my Valkyrie !
Our time has finally come ! Here we go !
Right !
Leave it to me !
Forward !
It feels just like the old days !
Isn't there anyone who'll ride the Valkyrie ?
Even if I have the high score, there's too much difference between a game and the real thing !
Please, don't !
Let go of me ! If someone doesn't fight, we can't protect the citizens !
But you haven't recovered from your injury !
It's not that bad !
Mayor, I'll go !
Rex !
I'm counting on you !
Rex !
Rex, behind you !
Rex !
I'm okay. Can one of you go ?
Leave it to me. I'll do it !
You can't do it.
Oh, yeah ?!
You've never ridden one, right ?
You little...
Colette, let her go.
I won't let you do just anything you want !
He's in danger !
What are you doing ? Fight ! We're the only ones who can protect everyone !
Shut up ! I have my own way of doing things !
This is no time to be singing !
If we don't defeat them, many people will be in danger !
Don't talk like you know what's going on ! You're just like Gamlin !
G...Gamlin ?
Jealousy.
Gamlin !
Geez !
The girl in that Valkyrie is pretty good.
I think she's called Rex.
Uh, she switched with someone...
...and now it's Mylene.
M...Mylene !
Yes. I guess it's in the blood.
Well, she is my daughter.
What's more, she's also the daughter of the brilliant pilot, Captain Maximilian Jenius.
Damn her...
Geez !
Cannons, aim well !
Fire !
What have we done ?!
What do you think you're doing, using such a large scale weapon in the city ?
But...
No excuses ! Get out immediately !
Damn you ! Wait !
Basara ?!
Get out of my way !
That's enough !
Why'd you stop me ?
Don't get carried away !
I was almost able to wipe them out !
Mylene !
But it's true ! If you hadn't...
Why you...!
Hold on, Basara.
You weren't doing anything but singing !
If I hadn't attacked, City 7 might've been destroyed by now.
If you'd really wanted to protect City 7, you wouldn't have been singing songs !
Why do you think I'm singing, anyway ?!
I don't know !
But thanks to you, I was able to fight all I wanted !
You little...
Basara, calm down !
Basara, it's not like you. Mylene doesn't understand yet.
This is the trouble with kids !
What's with this "kids, kids," stuff ?!
Rex is an adult.
She seems to have gotten hurt. Why don't you go see her in the hospital ?
What're you talking about ?
Go play cards or something !
Have you gone nuts ?
I know about you staying with Rex until morning !
Right.
What's with the "right"?
Mylene, wait.
What ?
I was there that night, too.
She said she wanted to really master the configurations of the Battroids, so...
...Basara and I were teaching her.
So I know you were practicing until morning, too.
I heard it all night. It seems you exhausted Veffidas.
What are you thinking, anyway ?!
Well, then !
Well then, what ?!
Mylene.
I understand that you want to fight for everyone and defeat the enemy.
That might be one way...
...but wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to fight to defeat the enemy ?
Right ?
Well, you'll understand eventually.
