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.
After consultation with the Earth United Forces HQ concerning the Protodeviln...
...we order Macross 7 to destroy the home world of the Protodeviln...
...the fourth planet of the Varauta system 3198XE.
You have permission to use reaction weaponry for this mission. Good luck.
Operation Stargazer ?
I will personally take command of this unit.
The chance of them returning alive is practically nil...
I know my song will get through to their hearts.
There's nothing happy about this.
If someone has to be sitting in your chair on the bridge...
...I'll be the one to do it.
Mylene. If I come back alive...
...I want you to wear this on your left ring finger.
I'm going too !
How silly.
If you're going to go, wear this.
If you have these, you will be able to come through any danger.
I can put on a wild concert right in front of them !
Nightmarish Invasion
Gentlemen, in 30 minutes, our ship, the Stargazer...
...will fold out within the orbit of the 4th planet of the Varauta System.
I will review the plans for this operation.
We will penetrate the cave in which Ensign Irina Hayakawa...
...reported the Protodeviln are imprisoned, and destroy them with reaction weaponry.
This is the goal of Operation Stargazer.
Each unit will proceed directly towards completion of this mission.
We will form twelve units, and all head for the target separately.
The units will be named after the twelve constellations of the Zodiac.
The name of our target is Polar Star.
Arriving at Polar Star is your ultimate goal.
Even if you are the last surviving ship...
...your aim is to detonate reaction weaponry inside the enemy's base.
I don't like it !
Basara.
We don't need bombs.
We can change their hearts with our music.
There's no time for that.
I cannot allow it.
We cannot risk the failure of this mission.
Not only Macross 7...
...but the whole galaxy is in danger.
That's why I want to seriously sing !
I came here to sing !
Hold on, Basara.
Ray !
Commander Maximilian, please give Basara a chance to sing.
Basara really may be able to move the Protodevilns' hearts.
Very well.
If Sound Force is the first unit to reach Polar Star...
...then I will allow you to attack with song and not reaction weapons.
Thank you.
Commander Maximilian, it's time for the final fold.
I will return to the bridge immediately.
I pray for your success.
Mylene, the time has come.
Gamlin !
Gamlin, about this...
Don't say anything now.
We'll take our time and talk about it after this operation.
But what if something happens to us ?
Mylene, those are words not to be spoken by those heading into battle.
Are you done with your last farewells ?
They're not our last.
Diamond Force will fulfill its mission and return.
You just listen to me sing.
If you get there first.
I will.
I don't know about that.
Don't you worry.
Do you wanna race ?
You sure you're up to it ?
You don't know until you try.
Gamlin, I'm gonna be the first one there !
You feeling okay, Docker ?
You'd better stop dreaming or you'll get left behind.
I want our Aries Unit to get there first.
We're counting on you, Ensign Irina !
This will be my second time on the fourth planet.
You can count on me.
Hurry up, Mylene !
What's he so worked up about ?
120 seconds until Stargazer initiates final fold.
All Valkyries on standby.
All units ready.
Final fold energy charged.
Adjusting coordinates.
Mylene.
Dad.
Once the operation begins, all communications will be cut off.
I just wanted to say...
...sing with all you've got.
Roger !
60 seconds to operation.
This brings you good luck if you rub it.
30 seconds to operation !
Oh, my friends...
Mylene, don't be late !
What ?! You're the one who's always late, Basara.
Hey, this isn't like all the other concerts.
Be serious.

Captain Miria, it's time for the operation to begin.
Confirming the fold out of stealth frigate Stargazer.
Operation Stargazer has begun.
The chance of success is 0.00001%.
All we can do now is pray.
If anyone can make it succeed, it's Max.
Come back, all of you.
Fold complete.
Deploy chaff.
All constellations launch with the decoys.
Roger.
Aries Unit, Taurus Unit launching.
Gemini Unit, Cancer Unit launching.
Leo Unit, Virgo Unit launching.
Lord Gepelnitch, the samples' attack force has penetrated to the fourth planet.
Contact Gabil.
Yes, sir.
The dream comes to me, saving me the trouble.
Here you come to the beauty of annihilation !
Scorpio, Aquarius, Pisces Units launching.
All constellations are away.
All right. Our ship will leave this airspace.
Roger.
How is the Blue Gazer ?
Sir, preparations are in progress.
But...Commander Maximilian...
I will initiate Blue Gazer when all constellations are reduced to less than 10% of their ability.
Continue preparations.
Roger !
Pretty good, Gamlin.
You haven't slowed down, Docker.
Here we are, the first ones to Polar Star !
That's odd. Why isn't Sound Force here ?
Basara was so fired up.
Die !
Basara ?
There you are, Anima Spiritia !
Do they understand the point of this operation ?
Does he plan on being a decoy ?
Basara, we're making a good target !
Sneaking around isn't my style !
I want to sing out loud and get there first !
Basara has begun singing !
It's only fifteen minutes into the operation !
Why so early ?
Captain Miria, what is happening on the fourth planet in the Varauta System ?
Max...
Your capture is my priority !
This is the beauty of our action !
You came to listen to me sing ?
I'll give you something to listen to !
Grabil !
How dare you !
Let's head straight for Polar Star !
D-2, D-3, are you with me ?!
Yes, sir !
Follow Docker !
What're you thinking, Gamlin ?
I'm going to protect Sound Force !
What ?! Are you serious ?!
I believe in Basara's music !
You idiot...
Virgo and Gemini Units have been destroyed.
Aries Unit is unable to approach the battlezone.
The Aquarius and Pisces Units are unable to progress due to enemy attacks.
Only Scorpio Unit, Emerald Force, is still approaching Polar Star.
Understood.
After completion of the operation, gather the survivors...
...and take them back to Macross 7.
Roger !
The Stargazer, eh ?
Damn. If this is the best plan I can come up with...
...I'm hardly a genius.
Fold booster on.
Auto coordinates locked on.
Target, Polar Star !
The beauty of explosions, beauty of fire, beauty of light !
What ?!
Leave this to me !
Go ahead, Basara !
Right !
Thanks, Gamlin !
I won't forgive you !
You can't fool me with that again.
The beauty of learning !
Commander, don't try to keep us out of it.
We'd follow you anywhere.
You guys...
Alright ! Attack the enemy leader unit in R Formation !
Roger.
Get the hell outta my way !
Voldick ! Matthews !
You bastards !
Just how many of them are there ?!
We can't dodge all that fire.
Don't whine !
But...
We're Fire Bomber !
Basara...
The stage is right in front of us.
Sing, Mylene !
Let's go !
Fire !
Damn you !
They are glowing with battle light !
But I'll add a flower to that beauty.
Mylene !
I knew he'd follow me !
What ?!
Gamlin...
C...Commander...
Commander Gamlin !
Gamlin !
This is the beauty of destruction !
No... It can't be true...
No...
No !
NO !
Mylene, pull yourself together !
Gamlin, Gamlin !
You...
Why you...
You...
Why don't you understand yet ?!
What the...?!
Damn, he's my real target !
Polar Star confirmed !
Operation complete.
120 seconds to detonation of the reaction weapon !
All units retreat beyond the atmosphere !
Captain Max ?
Mylene, we're leaving the area !
But what about Dad ?
There are still a lot of enemy units here !
I'll be all right.
Return to the ship, Mylene !
What's going on, Dad ?
Daddy, Daddy !
Mylene !
But Dad's staying there, isn't he ?!
No, Dad, come back !
Daddy !
Basara, what're you going to do ?
I'll bring back Mylene's father !
Basara, I'll go too !
You'll get in the way ! Go home !
No !
Mylene, we're going !
No ! I'm gonna rescue my dad, too !
Mylene, right now, you'd just get in the way.
Veffidas...
Come on, Mylene.
Miria, we did it.
Basara, why are you here ?
You're disobeying orders !
Anima Spiritia !
Hurry, pull it out !
Never mind. Leave it there.

They used our reaction weapon against us.
Dammit ! Those mothers !
Now we have no way of returning home.
My name is Gepelnitch.
Samples, let us talk of dreams, under the light of the stars.

Oh !! I always sense that it's straight from a manual. No
Today, beneath the sun, you're smiling at me...
NOT FOR SALE OR RENT

Oh, but, baby !! I'm still not satisfied with you !!

Give Gamlin back to me !
Mylene, the concert is not over yet.
What has all of our singing been for ?
I'll make the Protodeviln understand my singing !
Next time, "Ambitious Fourth Planet."

It's a radical fire !
