Defense line 1, Area A: Enemy contact. Engaging.
Fleet 2 at Area 2 reports 70% losses, including the flagship.
Confirming defold reaction in Area A.
All transmissions have ceased from battle group twenty.
Enemy units in Area C moving from point P to point Q.
There's no stopping them now.
Your attention please. In an effort to limit enemy activity...
U.N. Spacy has activated the surface to air system.
This will pose a slight risk to the surface.
As a precaution we have begun evacuating...
citizens into the underground shelters.
This is to guarantee your safety.
Good work, men.
I'll take him from here.
But we weren't...
Lieutenant!
Silvie!
Sing Along
What are you doing, Silvie?
Getting some payback.
What do you want to do?
U.N. Spacy doesn't have the strength to beat these guys.
We have just one gamble left. We're going to the Macross.
Use those energy spikes, you mean?
The main gun should still work.
But there's too many of them.
We'll just shoot their mother ship.
And then we'll see if this really is the "Ship of the Alus".
Sounds like fun. Count me in!
Too many!
Saori! Thank you!
No time to celebrate. You've got 5, 6, 7 bandits on your six!
- Huh? Where? - You're surrounded!
- Where?! - I've got 'em, Amy! Calm down!
We'll hold out even if the chief isn't here!
That's as far as you go!
Capt. Nexx! Proceed to Cannon Base Two!
If I leave we'll be leaving them an opening!
Captain, this is a gamble for the fate of the Earth!
Understood.
Destroy everything! Destruction is the Marduk culture!
It is the only thing that can dominate and tame this confused universe.
Fight! Destroy everything!
Auto-Lock System, standing by.
Over there.
Looking good... The Macross is coming back to life!
Can we really run this thing?
I read the manual.
Maybe I should get out and push?
Attack!
Subsystem #4: Operational.
Reactor output at 85%. Safeties off, linking to main system.
Way to go, Silvie!
Hibiki, open a com channel. Wavelength four.
I'm getting data from UNS headquarters.
Are they in on this?
No. Only Cmdr. Exxegran.
We need intelligence on the mothership's position to shoot it.
We can't fail. We're betting everything on this one shot!
Blue Liqueur Squadron proceed to ZS-5 and engage!
Sir, incoming message from Lt. Gena.
- Put it through. - Number four.
Lieutenant, is the Macross operational?
Sir, give me the data on the mothership's position.
They have a number of ships in the atmosphere already.
Destroying the mothership may be the answer.
We're counting on you, Silvie.
Roger!
People used to live here! Their love song still remains.
Macross, lifting off!
The Macross?! What the hell?!
Receiving video. On left main screen.
Who's flying it?! I was never told of this!
- What is it? What's happening? - The Macross! Look!
Datalink established. Mothership coordinates confirmed.
Attack coordinates: GT-200.
RC-98. Speed: 70.
- Look alive, Hibiki. - Gotcha...
So this is the Alus...
What power can such a small ship have?
Energy level rising from eighty to ninety.
Distance to attack coordinates: 10,000.
Energy level to full power!
Macross standing by to fire main cannon!
Please... Let this end it!
Got it!
I should not have feared.
That is not the ship of the Alus!
Coordinates calculated.
What would be the point? All on this world will be destroyed!
We've lost...
Silvie...
If they'd just listened to us sooner, this all wouldn't be...
It's no one's fault.
We all just got a little too used to having peace.
We closed ourselves into our little Earth...
and never bothered to look at the world outside.
And mankind is little.
We're conceited. And lazy. People in general are pretty disgraceful.
And when people finally come together, it's usually too late.
Come together?
Yeah. Like us.
But we managed to come together... And it's still not too late!
Silvie...
Hibiki!
Ishtar!
This is the power of the Alus!
This is love, isn't it?
We've broken their main force.
Why, Ishtar? Why does this world fascinate you so?
What deceives you so, that you sense the Ship of the Alus?!
The enemy mothership has penetrated the atmosphere.
We've no more time to waste!
This is the final gamble on humanity's future.
Correct.
Take us into the front line!
Roger!
Everything's being destroyed!
It's all over...
No! This is the Ship of the Alus. We're here only because it led us here.
But we have nothing left to try.
The main gun's useless.
The power of the Alus isn't that.
It's the power that brought you and Hibiki together.
And it's brought us together. That is the power of the Alus.
I'll send a love song to the Marduk.
Then my people and Earth can come together as we did.
Hibiki, I'm going to try!
Okay.
What's the point?
Open all com channels. Let's give it a try, Silvie!
We're here because we believed in the Macross's power.
The Macross could be the Alus.
We must not fight!
We must not destroy this world!
I am Ishtar, Emulator of the Marduk.
There is culture here that is worth defending.
In saving it we will create something more.
Destroy it, and we will never be able to recreate it.
This world has taught me the sorrow of destruction.
The Marduk teach destruction to all things.
And that there is no other way.
We can draw no inspiration from acts of destruction.
We create nothing!
Ishtar!
We must not fight!
We can come together!
Sing, Emulators! And let all be destroyed!
It is the deception of an inferior race!
Do not be fooled!
The Marduk, are fated to, control the cosmos!
Sing, Emulators! Do not be deceived!
Not that song!
It is on Earth that true songs exist!
Songs of happiness! Songs of sorrow!
And songs of love!
Taste my fire!
Behold, the punishment for those who contaminate us.
Utter annihilation!
Sing, Emulators! Sing the Song of Death!
Sing for all the Marduk!
No, Lord Ingues!
This world lies in ruin.
Surely you desire nothing more!
You will not sing?
Pathetic fools!
The Marduk way must be preserved at any cost!
I must, now, once again teach you all, this!
What's happening?!
The end of everything...
Is this punishment for the sake of the Marduk?!
We can't let him do this!
I still believe... This is the Ship of the Alus!
Will those warm feelings
never return?
Pieces of my dream
Slip through
My fingers
What's this?
What?
But now, love flows
through the depths of my heart.
A distant sky, a far-off time
Sing, Emulators! Or be punished with death!
but without a doubt
Stop it, Lord Ingues!
once more, I love you.
You'll destroy the Marduk as well!
Don't say never again
Because this melody, I repeat in prayer
Is this..."singing"?
Will reach you no matter how
It feels so good...
Far apart we are...
Someday, sometime in a distant place
She's sending everyone the gentleness of her own heart.
You would destroy us as well!
No! The Marduk are not yours alone!
Will we be able to share love?
It may be a distant dream, a dim love but
They're killing their own kind?!
Captain, we have the coordinates of the mothership!
Charge all cannons! Target the mothership!
once more, I love you.
FIRE!!!
Someday, sometime in a distant place
Inferior scum!
This disgusting race still exists?!
Will we be able to share love?
Crossing over distant skies and far-off time,
It does not deserve to live!
Destroy them! Destroy them all!
once more, dream again.
We must save ourselves!
In the name of the Marduk!
You fools!
How dare they...
turn against me?!
It has been three days since the defeat of Ingues.
A permanent peace treaty has been signed between...
the Earth and the Marduk.
- You're really leaving? - Yes.
I want to began creating our own culture.
I've heard so many beautiful songs.
When I sang, I sang from my heart.
Of sadness, of pain, And finally of hope!
I want to remain an Emulator so that I may teach my people what...
the Macross has taught me!
Ishtar!
It's time to go.
Yes!
Ishtar!
Glad I caught you. Here, I want you to have this.
Thank you. I'll treasure it.
Silvie. Take care of Hibiki.
You were a wonderful rival.
Ishtar!
A wonderful rival...
She'll create a magnificent culture for her people.
I know...
But the search for what "real" culture is... Is our job as well.
