What is their answer?
Unchanged. "Show us the song... the Protoculture now!"
And they are in a frenzy, daring us to make them obey.
The song, eh...
It's been a half-century since we regained culture, and still they...
Why now?
I believe it may be the destiny ingrained into Zentran genes.
I, too, feel my blood boiling slightly.
In the worst case,
we may raze the entire base with a bombardment from this carrier.
You are prepared for that, are you not, Commander Oghotwhai?
Yakh deculture...
To Skull-4, fold successful.
Arriving in Gallia IV area.
Synchronizing to galactic standard time, +172.25.
That's the planet...
It has... a sky...
It's finally happening the day after tomorrow...
...Ranka-san's first concert.
Yeah...
Huh? That's it?
You've been out of it lately, Nanase.
Oh no, that's not true.
I just thought it's been kind of lonely...
...with Sheryl-san and Alto-kun both off from school this whole time.
But you can still meet up with Ranka-san day after tomorrow!
And they say the longer the time apart, the more joyous the reunion.
You're right.
Thanks, Luca-kun.
You don't have to...
I just...
Then maybe I should've stayed home.
Ranka?!
Ranka-san?!
The boss gave me a day off!
He said to take it easy before my first concert.
RANKA-SAN!
That... hurts... Nana-chan...
Ah! Hey!
Please, Nana-chan.
Beginning descent shortly.
So this is the resistance of an atmosphere.
They've come at last.
SMS Skull Squadron, Warrant Officer Alto Saotome reporting.
I am escorting Sheryl Nome.
You have my appreciation, Warrant Officer Alto.
I am commanding officer of the 33rd Marine Battalion, Major Oghotwhai.
Thank you for making such a long journey.
This should calm the men down.
Arma Zentran!
To the Nymph of the Galaxy, Miss Sheryl Nome,
Salute!
Sheryl!
It's Sheryl Nome!
Sheryl?
Sheryl!
Are you okay?!
Sheryl!
Hey, hey, what's the meaning of this?
You're screwin' with us.
So she's got no mwiezoh to sing for the likes of Zentradi, after all, is that it?
Note: "Mwiezoh" is Zentran for "Song"
N-No! This is...
Shutup.
That breaks off the negotiations.
Zaiwugg, ghadlunn!
Hold it!
You're not getting away.
You people have an essential role to play as hostages.
Stop!
All right, go!
If you get caught, you'll get compulsory volunteer work for violation of the star system preservation law.
But he seems to like me...
And this little one consoled me...
...when I was all alone after going to give Alto-kun his present.
Ranka-san...
Then I'll be your accomplice.
When you get punished, we'll do it together.
Thank you, Nana-chan!
But I don't recognize it...
Yeah, I glanced over the bio-map, but it's not listed at all.
Michel-senpai!!!
An uprising ...
That's why those damn Zentraedi shouldn't be...
Excellency,
I believe it would be best to refrain from such remarks.
Sorry.
What's the temporal lag on fold-com to Gallia IV?
A relay pod has been set, shortening it to 127 minutes.
Because of the faults, even if we raced out there now,
we would arrive seven days later.
By then, the outcome will have been decided.
Excuse me!
What's the situation?
The uprising group has gotten control of almost every Queadlunn and is demanding to be given a ship.
"Otherwise, the lives of Sheryl Nome and the concert crew will be no more."
What a mess.
Damn!
I knew it smelled like deep shit...
It's my mistake for sending him alone!
This was likely planned from the moment they requested the concert.
But it was executed a little too well.
Almost like...
Almost like?
Nothing.
Oh give me a break.
Sheryl was sick and couldn't sing and that was the trigger?!
Either way, it's an excuse!
Alto-kun...
Hey Michel-kun, aren't you going to help him?
Alto-kun's in trouble, right?
It's impossible...
From here, we could never make it in time.
But that's...
I didn't even have the chance to give Alto-kun his present...
I didn't have the chance to tell him anything...
I...
There might be just one way.
I'm sorry.
She hadn't been feeling well since several days before our departure,
but she just insisted and wouldn't listen to me...
Geez, of all the reckless...
I thought health maintenance was part of being a professional !
You're right.
I have no excuse.
Fine, just sleep!
Singing won't change anything now.
But I...
...present...
The sky... for you...
Grace,
keep watch on this fool so she doesn't do anything reckless.
What about you?
A new model of fold drive that's not affected by faults?!
Yes.
I specially had them send one that was in development at L.A.I.
There's still a mountain of problems keeping it out of practical use,
but there's absolutely no discrepancy between subjective and objective time.
If it were to be made more practical, the galaxy would be half... no, one-tenth of its size now.
Geez, they sure develop some hardcore crazy stuff at your place...
I must ask that you be extremely cautious.
Don't worry, I got it.
Ghuorg Gheadla...
With these in our hands...
Arma Zentran!
I'm told there's a damn scary treasure hidden on this planet.
With that and a ship, we'll be free!
Before the Microns showed up, we were the rulers of the universe!
Fight!
Steal!
And take back our glory!
Zentran!
It's me.
Zentran!
Oh, you.
Zentran!
So far, it's all according to plan...
Zentran!
What?!
It appears the Reflex storage facility... has been breached.
No wandering off the leash,
Micron.
The SMS bird...
Support fire!
Permission to fire granted!
They went and started it.
Return fire!
Still loading the Reflex weaponry?
All done. Ready to go anytime!
You bastard...
You intended that right from the start...
Say, Micron.
Sing something.
You might be able to stop us!
We no longer have a moment to spare.
The bombardment!
Owcheadoss fohrtgeadla...
This is...
Alto!
We're here to deliver your birthday present!!!
Everyone!
Hold me!
Until... the edge of the galaxy!

No you don't!!!
Give it up.
You lose!
Shutup! Shutup!
Don't give me orders!!!
Culture?!
Song?!
It makes me laugh!
Fighting is life to us Zentraedi!
It's our blood!!!
You have inherited the blood.
The curse-like blood of an actor...

We were made that way!
We can't NOT live that way!!!

Are you stupid or something?!
Coming to a battlefield in the naked, without putting on a suit!!!
Well, I didn't think they'd listen to the song unless I went that far...
Hey!
Huh?
I guess when I relaxed, my legs...
Ranka... why did you do this?!
Because...
I wanted to tell you!
Happy birthday, Alto-kun!

Next time, Memory of Global.
