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.
Who are your people ? What is your purpose ?
Your arm is tense.
He's working pretty hard at it !
Right. It's jealousy.
Damn you ! Wait !
That's enough !
Well, you'll understand eventually.
What Spiritia Farm ?! We still haven't acquired the samples' living areas !
Commander, we are ready to fold.
Right ! All ships attack !
Roger.
Just you wait, Gepelnitch ! I'll harvest a whole lot of Spiritia !
The entire Gigil squadron is attacking without permission.
It doesn't matter. Let them be.
The Music Box on the Battlefield
Wow ! It's quite a bit different from Mom's Valkyrie !
Hey ! What're you doing up there ?
I was just trying it out, and it turned into Gerwalk.
Man, look how dirty you got them.
Sorry about that. This Valkyrie is really amazing, though.
It's the latest model, isn't it ?
Just get off ! Don't touch my stuff without asking !
You're so stingy ! You could let me use it a little bit !
Don't you think, since the enemy could attack at any time...
...that I should know how to use this, too ?
I don't think so.
Why not ?!
It doesn't suit you.
Basara, you aren't using its capabilities !
The Valkyrie is a fighter ! It was made to destroy the enemy !
That's why it doesn't suit you !
What're you talking about ? Well then, how are you going to protect City 7 ?!
Just forget it. Anyway, I won't let you touch it.
Why not ?!
Nothing will come from shooting at each other.
How are you going to defeat the enemy then ?!
What's with him ?
How about the prisoner ? Have there been any new developments ?
No, he's the same as before.
Mayor Miria, take a look at this ?
What's that ?
The helmet he was wearing.
After analyzing all of its functions...
...we discovered that this device emits a signal of a particular frequency.
A particular frequency ?
Yes. That frequency makes a form of brainwave control possible.
I believe he was made into a robot, completely brainwashed by this helmet.
That's why he attacked us, even though we're all humans.
The question is, who brainwashed him ?
We don't know that yet.
Well, I guess we won't find anything out until he snaps out of it.
Miss Mylene, please be safe.
Physica.
Lieutenant.
What are you doing here ?
What's that ?
It's a toy I made between missions.
It's my child's birthday today, so I made it in a hurry, but...
That's right, your wife and child are in City 7.
Yes. My child is turning 2, but still doesn't recognize my face.
I'm not the only one praying for the safety of City 7.
Lieutenant, will we really find City 7 ?
Don't worry, we'll find it, no matter what.
If City 7 has already fallen into the hands of the enemy...
They're safe, for certain.
Take heart, Physica.
You're just tired. Get plenty of rest, and you'll have a new perspective on things.
Lieutenant...
Tomorrow the adjustments to the Fold Boosters will be completed.
Then we'll find City 7. It'll be a day late...
...but you'll still be able to give your child that present.
That's right.
You don't want your child to remember your tired and worried face.
Right, sir.
Come in.
Mayor Miria, it's an emergency ! The prisoner has escaped !
What ?!
I'm very sorry. He became violent when we were trying to move him to the hospital.
But he was practically unconscious !
He must have had a subconscious reaction to a traumatic past event.
He showed fear of being forcibly transported.
I see. The City Police will probably find him right away.
There he is !
What's going on ?
Who knows.
De-fold reaction ahead.
No response to identification code hails. It's the enemy fleet.
I'll switch it to the monitors.
So here comes the large fleet... All ships full speed ahead !
Everyone to battlestations !
Energy charge complete for main armaments.
All right ! Fire all at once !
The main armaments are being aimed.
They don't have to hit ! Just blast away and throw them into terror !
Yes, sir !
Fire !
The first wave of the attack has been fired.
Captain, instructions for the pin-point barrier ?
This is just meant to frighten us. Ignore it.
Ignore it ?
They all missed.
Don't take your eyes off of the monitor !
Take a close look at the movements of the enemy before they fire the second wave.
Roger !
Second wave, ready for attack.
What about the enemy's movements ?
They are maintaining their course.
They must have a brave commander. We'll see how long that lasts.
Proceed at 75% thrust. Prepare counter-attack formation.
Roger !
Captain, their behavior seems to be different than usual.
The counterattack fleet has reached firing range.
All right. Attack !
As you see, normally his brainwaves show no reaction.
However...
...for some reason, he reacts when he hears this band's song.
Can you think of a possible explanation ?
I can't say for sure at this point.
But his life support functions have shown more activity.
It may be possible to restore his consciousness by continuing to play this music.
I see. All right, I'll ask the members of this band for help.
I imagine a live performance will help him regain consciousness sooner.
Well, I don't know about that.
Based on my experience, I think there's no doubt.
Huh ?
Have you forgotten ?
I am one of the Zentraedi who went through culture shock because of a song.
Okay.
Is it a gig ?
Yup. Mom wants us to come over and perform.
Hey, hey. Are we working for that mayor again ?
She wants a VIP to hear our music.
You don't have any problems if it's a VIP, do you ?
I do have problems. What I'm trying to say is...
Now, now. We shouldn't make an enemy of Mylene's mother. Let's go.
Diamond Force, scramble. Diamond Force, scramble. Diamond Force...
Catapults, standing by.
This is Angel Leader. They've penetrated the first defense perimeter.
Send more Valkyries.
Roger.
Diamond Force, ready for launch.
Roger. 6 seconds to launch.
They have penetrated M18 area.
Diamond Force, launch.
What's this ? You want us to play here ?
That's right.
You've gotta be kidding ! You called us out here saying there was a VIP !
He's really looking forward to hearing your music.
What ?! He's one of the enemy we captured ! Why do we have to play for...?!
You don't get it. We play for him because he's the enemy.
Basara...
They've penetrated the first defense perimeter.
The advance guard ship Blue Notes severely damaged.
Main gun on key left wing ship, Athabaska, damaged.
Send Emerald Thunder to back up Athabaska.
The main enemy fleet is heading for portside, 3 o'clock.
The establishment of the second defense perimeter is being delayed.
Donzeres and Rhein 3 won't make it in time.
Where are the Valkyries for the area FX9821 ?!
They've penetrated the second defense perimeter.
All right. This ship will undergo transformation.
Trans
formation !
Contact all relevant personnel quickly !
Roger !
We'll finally show them our true power.
I'll show them the way Maximilian Jenius fights !
Battle 7, preparing for emergency transformation.
The enemy ship is beginning to transform.
Our prototype mini-laser is ready.
Cease the attack. Battleships remain at ready !
It's lunch time ! I'm going to eat my fill of the sample Spiritia !
Physica, don't let down your guard !
Lt Gamlin, Battle 7 is undergoing transformation !
What ?!
This is D1 to D-Force !
Until Battle 7 has completed transformation...
...we'll continue to assist the counter-attack force.
Commander Kinryu !
Physica, the enemy hasn't captured City 7 yet.
You can tell from this attack.
City 7 is safe. Listen, Physica...
...if you can get through this battle, you can see your family.
This is D-3, roger !
80 seconds until transformation is complete.
All right. Move the Valkyries out of the Macross Cannon's line of fire.
Fire the Macross Cannon as soon as the transformation is complete.
Wait ! There's just under 400 seconds until Macross Cannon stand-by.
The reactor won't be completely charged !
What ?!
I'm sorry, I've only ever performed a simulated transformation before.
Fire within 200 seconds of charging. 80% output of the reactor gun is enough.
But Captain, the cannon's auto-limiter will be initiated !
Switch to manual override !
Roger !
You guys draw them out !
Transformation complete.
The reactor's output is at 70%.
Auto-limiter is off. 150 seconds until Macross Cannon can be fired.
That 150 seconds will cost us.
There are no abnormalities due to transformation.
This is D-1. D-2, D-3, return to the ship.
We are leaving the path of Macross Cannon's fire.
Roger !
Wait for me a little bit longer.
Physica !
Mayor Miria...
Ready to fire Macross Cannon.
Adjust the target. Aim 3 points to the right of the enemy ship.
But that will cause the shot to miss !
It will hit. They will move into that position.
That must be what they call a genius' intuition.
Adjustment complete.
Evacuation of fleet from path of fire, confirmed.
No, wait ! D-Force, Gamlin, is still out there !
Gamlin, respond !
Twenty seconds until firing.
Captain !
Don't worry, D-2 will get out in time.
Beginning countdown.

What the...?
What was that light ? It took out a third of my fleet in an instant !
Where am I ?
He's regained consciousness !
You're inside the city of Macross 7, the 37th fleet of super distance immigration.
First, tell me your name.
I'm Irina Hayakawa. Serial number 3540076. My rank is ensign.
What's going on here ?
I guess he's an Earthling.
But, he's the enemy ! He was trying to get us...!
See ? Just because they're the enemy, defeating them isn't the only way.
