SUPER DIMENSIONAL FORTRESS MACROSS II
Master Ingues,
the poisoned ship was eliminated
just as you demanded.
Listen to me, my loyal warriors.
Go and finish those infidels once and for all!
You cannot find a better culture than ours in the whole universe.
No one can match our skills.
Fight for us Marduk!
STATION BREAK
Now, tell me what happened.
Yes, sir.
I saved the civilian reporter
who took that mysterious girl to the enemy's ship.
Her name is Ishtar and she is a so called emulator of the Marduk.
Did you already...? - Yes, I knew.
Please continue.
He brought her with him to earth during the "First Contact".
What is his name?
Hibiki, Hibiki Kanzaki.
Him again...
Ishtar wanted to return, because she felt that she could end the war.
End the war?
Yes, the emulator's purpose is to control their Centraedi by singing.
She thought that a song from earth could show the Marduk that war is not the solution.
In the end, she didn't succeed.
She managed to confuse them a little,
but that wasn't enough to end the war.
Sir, I think she was on the right way.
Thank you for telling me the truth.
Thunderbird 1, take off! - Not possible.
We noe interrupt the regular programming for an emergency announcement.
Although the UN-fleet is trying to conceal it,
I have been able to find out the truth.
Our attackers are the Marduk, an unknown alien race, and not regular Centraedi.
This is actual footage from one of the Marduk's ships.
Their Centraedi are being controlled by mind alteration and a special song.
What the hell is going on? Stop the broadcast immediately!
What's wrong with the information control?
He's using our special frequency, which is reserved for emergency purposes.
Impossible.
Get him off the screen! Arrest him at once!
We've found out his position.
He's in the room nect to us. - What?!
When we're facing such a grave danger, we have the right to know the truth.
Can the army still guarantee our safety?
Do we have to...
There he is. - Arrest him!
No!
Enemy-contact confirmed at the second defense-line.
Where did you get this footage?
I recorded it myself on the alien ship.
The people are not going to fall for that trick.
I've heard that one of your people
was involved in the rescue of this boy, General Exxegran.
Yes, that is true. She went in there to rescue him from th enemy's clutches.
That was foolish... - Who was it?
Bring her to us.
I take full responsibility for the actions of my people.
According to the report it was Lieutnant Silvie Gena.
If that's the case, you should withdraw from this investigation.
After this scandal recently...
General Exxegran, leave Lieutnant Gena to us.
Where is she now?
She's on alert at Fairy-Squadron Base, waiting for the enemy.
Place Lieutnant Gena under arrest.
and do the same with him here.
The Macross-Cannon is in position. - Hmm, only 4 projectiles?
Sir, 2 additional one are ready and at your disposal.
... no, 4 should be more than enough.
The situation at second defense-line
is getting more and more critical. Our losses are reportedly at 85%.
1.300 enemy ships are confirmed until now,
but the actual number is guessed to be three times as much.
This is it.
Lure as much as possible into firing-range and destroy them.
Distance to enemy craft: 126.000.
Unit firing-range of Macross-Cannon: 26.000.
Enemy fighters are approaching.
Send out the Valkyrie-troops.
Guard the Macross-Cannon.
Units Firewolf and White Ox, Go!
Operational code D 386.
Valkyrie-units have engaged the enemy.
Burt, help me! Fast!
Report from the front-line:
We have lost the White Ox-unit.
2.000 until firing-range.
They broke through our defense-line.
Enemy fighters still approaching.
The Macross-Cannon has to be guarded at all costs.
Enemy inside firing-range.
All Valkyrie-units retreat to D-field.
Macross-Cannon, maximum fire!
60% of the enemy's ships were destroyed.
Good, prepare for the next shot!
Sir, new enemy-troops at twelve o'clock.
What?!
New enemy ships have appeared and are now attacking.
the Balzae-unit is under heavy fire.
Understood, Metal Siren is coming.
Sing, emulators!
Sing the great song of battle.
This emulator is not singing.
The Centraedi are disconcerted.
It doesn't matter, proceed!
I cannot sing our song of battle anymore.
Tell me Hibiki, what am I do to?
Where did you get this footage?
I already told you that I convinced the enemy...
... to cooperate.
Stop bullshitting us! Who is behind all this?
Nobody!
I wanted to tell the truth.
If the army continues like that, the earth will be destroyed.
Does that mean that we are going to lose?
If we continue like that, I'm certain about it.
I've seen it with my own eyes. They haven't even used their full power yet.
Alright Marduk, enough is enough.
Dammit, is there no end?
It doesn't matter how many come, no one's getting to earth... or Silvie.
They're using up their last ounce of strength.
Sing them the song of death.
Really? But if we continue like that, they are soon to be...
This is the planet of Alus.
The planet of Alus? From the old legend of the Marduk?
We have no time to lose.
As you wish.
Turn into dust, you of Alus.
Sir, the emulator in Groog-unit refuses to sing.
She is having compassion for the Centraedi.
Punish her.
An enourmous energy-field is coming our way.
Evasion not possible!
No, not this song... - Ishtar, why are you here?
Ingues is afraid of this planet.
He wants to destroy it, even if it means losing his people too.
Silence, this war is about to end.
Even if this war ends, there will be a next one.
And we are going to lose a lot of people again.
What are you talking about? War is our destiny and purpose.
War isn't everything.
This is what the plant of Alus is trying to teach us.
And Ingues is afraid of that.
Traitor!
Ishtar is infected.
Lord Feff, stop being so generous!
Lord Feff...
I am the master of this ship.
Dispatch all the Centraedi!
Let the other emulators control them. Ishtar is going to stay here with me.
This is an order!
I can't let the enemy
reach the earth. We will use our ship as a shield.
We will repel the enemy's assault.
Full speed ahead!
Major Nexx, the Gloria is on collision-course with the enemy's fleet!
What? The Gloria?
Captain Balzae!
Captain, this is suicide! Please retreat!
No, the safety of the earth depends on us now.
But...
... the enemy is still...
Captain! Captain Balzae!
I am a warrior and have sworn my eternal loyalty to master Ingues.
I will only leave the battlefield when there is no life left in me.
Feff...
Go, before I change my mind.
Remember, you commited treason to the Marduk
and that is why I killed you.
Seems like in the end we were to different...
Get out!
Thank you.
General Exxegran, what is the meaning of this?
This meeting is unofficial and will be kept off the record.
Just like that time at the hotel. - Yes, exactly.
But let us hope that this time no one will discover us.
General, the enemy is defeating us, isn't he?
Yes, that is the case.
It is only a matter of time until our final defense-line collapses.
Are the civilians aware of that?
No.
We soldiers are prepared to die in battle, but when it comes to admit our defeat...
We cannot beat the enemy within us.
But...
If we continue to fight, mankind soon will cease to exist.
But you have said that there is another way. - Yes, General.
The leader of our enemy, the Marduk, is a dictator named Ingues.
His hostile politics are the reason why the Marduk fight.
We can win the war, if we manage to eliminate Ingues
and join with the Marduk-people, who wish for peace.
You mean we should start an assault on the Marduk's mothership? - Yes.
A surprise attack!
What?
I have a plan.
The ship of Alus.
Hibiki, I will sing...
...the song of Alus.
Sooner or later the enemy will be here.
It is probably neither the fault of the military nor the press.
It's a fact.
Many will die on both sides, even a lot of people
who didn't knew anything about it.
And when it's all over, we will be sorry.
This is the history of mankind.
But then it will be to late.
We have to face the truth and try to find the best solution possible...
