So, what about the matter of Lt. Cmdr. Brera Stern?
I was honestly surprised, as well.
I never thought he could forget his mission and take such an action.
I haven't forgotten my debt to you for joining with us after we lost Galaxy and had nowhere to go.
Trust me, Mr. new President.
I have a report from the Environmental Maintenance Agency.
I'll contact you later.
Well?
According to the Agency, even in the current wartime regulation mode, we have three months at best.
Unless some sort of fundamental solution is found in that time, Frontier will...
Three months...
That's plenty.
The problem is a replacement for the girl.
Either way, we're coming to...
...the turning point.
You'd best enjoy the feeling of sitting in that chair while you can.
Open an encrypted line to Mr. Birla.
Amazing...
It's coming to you, soldier!
Let me see the power of that new model of yours!
Yes sir.
Please don't let them escape no matter what.
I can only jam fold waves within a 100km spherical radius.
Listen please.
We cannot afford for more enemies to get information about the new warheads and the VF-171x.
I know!
The new warheads seem usable.
These MDE rounds utilize micro-particles extracted from the remains of Vajra.
If they'd only been perfected sooner...
What's Nanase's condition?
She still hasn't woken up.
But for a while, she may be better off that way.
What?
I mean...
What should I tell her about Ranka-san?
The Ranka-san you love so much...
...has betrayed us and left to help a Vajra escape...
It's simple.
We settle this and bring her back before Nanase wakes up.
Let's beat the Vajra.
Yeah!
In today's general meeting of the Assembly, Mr. Leon Mishima was selected as the Fifth President of Frontier.
Did you hear that rumor?
Uh huh.
Geez, I joined to learn about spaceflight...
Furthermore, the inauguration will be held tomorrow at 19:00.
I feel like I'm stuck in a quagmire.
The one in a quagmire is all of Frontier.
Now our next story.
A feature on the Songstress of the Galaxy whose retirement had been predicted at one time, Sheryl Nome.
Isn't there any cheerful news...
Minna ga watashi no koto o yousei to yobu
Everyone calls me the Nymph,
みんながわたしのことを妖精と呼ぶ
I've been hearing more of her again lately.
Watashi wa sore ni kotae
And I answer their calls...
わたしはそれに応え
But she somehow seems different from before.
Yeah.
I think I like her more now.
Kanjinai kara
Because I don't feel,
感じないから
Kokoro no omosa datta kara
Because that was the burden in my heart,
こころの重さだったから
Ano sora o tobetan da
I was able to fly in that sky.
あのそらを飛べたんだ
Nice song.
Yeah.
Chief, a fold wave pattern!
Anata o shitte
Meeting you,
あなたを知って
This is...
Ai ni furuete
Trembling in love,
愛に振るえて
Onna no watashi no hane ga
My wings as a woman...

Awakened my life, Fly Away.

Atashi o yonde
Calling me,

For Another Day
Anata no hou e
Toward you.
あなたの方へ
Kugiru koto nai Just Secret Love
No need to divide it, Just Secret Love
区切ることない Just Secret Love
Sonna no ii tte
Never mind that...
そんなのいいって
I'm so glad you're both safe!
Bobby!
I'm so glad...
You were fantastic today, as usual.
Sorry to make you go along with my selfishness.
Since every last cent is going to charity.
Song is culture. Culture is love.
Your songs now have love in them.
That's more than enough for me.
Thank you.
By order of President Mishima, I've come to collect you.
We should have been honest much sooner.
He and I...
But...
...we never could take the first step.
Klan...
I don't want you to become like us.
It's about Sheryl...
Assassination?
Yes, the chief conspirator was Mishima.
Yes, the main plotter was Mishima.
I'm of the same opinion.
The evidenciary data has been lost, but I swear on my father's remains, this is the truth.
So that's why you were hiding yourselves this whole time.
Because you might be silenced otherwise.
You've had a hard time, haven't you, Cathy?
Ozma...
Here.
It's from Ranka.
Sorry, but I took the liberty of reading it.
It seems she's regained a lot of her memory.
And she...
It says she's going to make sure of the truth of eleven years ago.
I see.
So she's chosen...
...her path.
There's something I have to tell you all.
I got a secret communication from SMS owner, Mr. Birla.
SMS will be dismantled and absorbed into the New U.N. Military.
We must also choose...
...our own future.
Sheryl-san.
Seventeen years ago, you contracted the V-type infection and have lived as a carrier ever since.
Is that true?
That's what I'm told.
The V-type infection is a certain pathogen, which we now know comes from bodily fluids of the Vajra.
But symptoms manifest by its transmission.
Because it is blood and fluid-borne, the infection rate is low...
...and in the earliest stages, it can be treated by a serum created from the Vajra.
However, when that period passes, the germ attaches to the brain and begins to produce a certain toxin.
Once that happens, there is nothing that can be done.
Having fun?
...using all those big words to tell me I'm going to die?
But there is something that becomes possible only after suffering that condition.
Your voice now emits a faint fold wave.
Yes.
Just like she who betrayed us, Ranka Lee.
It isn't as powerful as Ranka-san's,
but most likely that earring... that earring made of fold quartz amplified it.
Then are you saying Ranka-chan is also...
No, the source of her power is unknown.
But you can do the same thing.
There is no doubt about that.
So you will sing for us, won't you?
For the sake of Humanity?
Alto...
Sheryl!
Hey, Sheryl!
Sent?
We're not making a mistake, are we?
This is the only way to see who our true enemy really is.
You all right now?
And I said I wouldn't sing anymore.
Are you shocked?
But I didn't have anything but singing, after all.
You're the one who made me realize that, Alto.
I have to at least show appreciation.
Thank you.
Well, I played hookey here for a long time.
It'll still be a while before-
STOP IT!
Enough...
Enough already, Sheryl.
So you heard.
I see.
You're the one I least wanted to know.
Why was it when I found out about my illness, that was the first thing I thought of...
That's enough.
You don't have to make yourself smile anymore.
You don't have to sing.
Sheryl...
No!
I'm going to sing!
Sheryl...
I don't have anything but singing left anymore!
That's the only proof that I'm alive!
So... I...
But I'm scared.
I'm scared and lonely...
It's weird, isn't it?
I'm Sheryl...
I decided to live as Sheryl, but...
I'll stay with you.
If you're going to sing, I'll stay by your side to the very last moment.
Alto...
Give me courage.
The courage to keep singing forever.
It's a lullaby...
I can hear it.
The Universe is amazing, isn't it...
So vast...
And beautiful...
I feel like I'll be sucked in...
It's okay.
For some reason, I'm so happy... but my heart aches, too.
I just had that kind of feeling.
Is our course decided?
Yup.
Ai-kun says his hometown is just a little further.
Let's go, Brera-san!
The Universe is vast.
Through this vast universe we have traveled.
Frontier, seeking out new worlds, embracing our dreams...
But that is about to fall apart.
At the hands of the enemy which stands before us, the Vajra.
Why do they try to kill us?
Why do they try to crush our dreams?!
Because you're in their way, simple as that.
I have a message from His Excellency.
"The galaxy only needs one ruler."
My thoughts exactly.
We simply wanted to go on living!
Somewhere in this galaxy, there will surely be a planet for us to live in peace!
We were simply traveling with that belief in our hearts!
And yet, why...
The Vajra must be wiped out!
Right now, I promise, as the Fifth President of Frontier,
to win this holy war!
For the sake of Humanity's future!
What a creeeepy atmosphere.
How many have gathered?
I'd say seventy percent.
No problem for operating the ship.
Heh, that's a lot of lunatics.
Like they say, can't get off the ship once it's sailed.
And I've sworn to share the fate of this ship.
Of the Captain, you mean?
Geez, Lum!
Bullseye.
You guys...
Comrades.
I don't intend to dress myself in the flag of justice.
But we didn't join simply to obey superiors' orders.
We joined SMS because we thought we'd have room to make our own choices.
Kanaria.
Are you okay with this?
What about Eddie?
I'm here to see.
To see what's best for his future.
As of this moment, we are changing from soldiers to pirates!
Our first booty is this ship!
Let's go, ya bilge rats!
AYE!
Weigh anchor!
Aye, Captain!
Release stabilizers!
The dock is activating!
They don't have authorization!
Macross Quarter, please respond.
Macross Quarter!
Commander!
Ahead slow!
In commemoration of the new president's inauguration, a special guest has joined us.
Excellency.
Now then, let's have a celebratory song from this lady.
They have moved, as predicted.
Guilt confirmed, eh?
Then follow the plan.
The Galactic Nymph, Miss Sheryl Nome!
Multiple bandits from Battle Frontier.
A pursuit squadron!
Now they've shown up.
Ozma!
What squadron are the enemy?
The 4th Fighter Wing.
Wait a moment.
This is...
Skull-3 and 4's IFFs...
Tabi no hajimari wa mou omoidasenai
No longer can I remember the start of the journey.
旅の始まりは もう思い出せない
By order of the President, I am warning you.
Kizuitara koko ni ita
By the time I realized it, I was already here.
気づいたらここにいた
By order of the President, I am warning you.
Return the ship immediately.
Launch authorization has not been issued.
Kisetsu ga yabukete mihakken sekigaisen
The seasons tore apart, out come undiscovered infrared rays...
季節が破けて 未発見赤外線
Sorry, but I can't do that.
Why've you done this?!
Our enemy is the Vajra, you know!
Kanjiru mune ga maigo ni naru
Sensing them, my eyes become lost.
感じる胸が迷子になる
And yet...
When everyone turns to the right, it's my nature to want to take another look from the left.
Tabun ushinau no da
I'll probably lose them...
たぶん失うのだ
Inochi-gake no omoi
These fateful feelings...
命懸けの想い
If you want to stop us, go ahead and try.
Tatakau you ni koi shita
I made love like I was fighting.
戦うように恋した
Hitasura ni yume o hotta
I stubbornly dug out my dreams,
ひたすらに夢を掘った
That is if you think you can beat me in those catch-up modded birds!
Sono hoshi ni oritakatta
I wanted to go down to that planet,
その惑星に下りたかった
Kimi no sora tobitakatta
I wanted to fly in your sky...
君の空飛びたかった
That is unfortunate, Lt. Commander.
Dare ka kuukyo no rinkaku o sotto nadete kurenai ka
Won't someone gently caress the empty outline?
誰か空虚の輪郭をそっと撫でてくれないか
Combat has begun.
Once we get to the safe fold zone, victory is ours.
Mune no kodou ni ketobasarete korogarideta ai no kotoba
Kicked away by the beating in my chest, those words of love tumbled out...
胸の鼓動に蹴飛ばされて転がり出た愛の言葉
All ships, begin combat!
Dakedo komatta na kotae ga nai
But this is a pickle, there's no answer!
だけど困ったな 応えが無い
Shukumei ni haritsukerareta hokkyokusei ga moeteru
Polaris is burning, pinned to our destiny...
宿命に張り付けられた北極星が燃えてる
Kimi o kakimushitte nigoraseta
I plucked you out and muddled the situation,
君を掻き毟って濁らせた
Nanoni karen ni warau toko
And yet, you laughed endearingly...
なのに可憐に笑うトコ
Suki datta yo
I loved that...
好きだったよ
Alto?
How come?!
Why did you...
You're just as inflexible as ever...
That's why we couldn't involve you.
Give me a real answer!
It ain't my style to spill blood for a top man I don't like.
This is the best way to protect the women I love.
Kimi ga inai nara imi nante naku naru kara
If there's no you, there'll be no meaning.
君がいないなら 意味なんて無くなxるから
Women?
Hito wa zenbu kiereba ii
I wish all the people would disappear,
人は全部 消えればいい
Is that how an adult should talk?!?!
Ai ga naku nareba kokoro datte iranai kara
If love goes away, I don't need this heart either.
愛が無くなれば 心だっていらないから
Kono sekai mo kiete shimae
The whole world, just disappear!
この世界も 消えてしまえ
Zutto kurushikatta
They've always been painful...
ずっと苦しかった
Inochi-gake no deai
These fateful meetings...
命懸けの出逢い
Sorry, but I'm not an adult,
Mogaku you ni yume mita
I dreamt like I was struggling,
もがくように夢見た
I'M A MAN!
Yamikumo ni te o nobashita
I reached out my hand blindly,
闇雲に手をのばした
Sono mune ni kikitakatta
I wanted ask your heart...
その胸に聞きたかった
Kimi to niji kaketakatta
I wanted to build rainbows with you.
君と虹架けたかった
Dare ka yoake no kanshou de gyutto daite kurenai ka
Won't someone gently hold me in the sentimentality of daybreak?
誰か夜明けの感傷で ぎゅっと抱いてくれないか
What about you?
Aren't you just getting swept away?
Yume no kidou ni hajikarete tobichiru dake no ai no namida
Deflected by the course of dreams, those tears of love just scattered into space.
夢の軌道にはじかれて飛び散るだけの愛の涙
By the situation?! By your emotions at each moment?!
Sore ga mukidashi no itami demo ii
And I don't care if it's naked pain.
それが剥き出しの 痛みでもいい
Shukumei ni yobimodosareta hokkyokusei ga naiteru
Polaris is crying, summoned back by our destiny...
宿命に呼び戻された北極星が泣いてる
Saotome Alto!
What are your wings for?!
Douse meiro ikinuku nara
If we're going to live through the labyrinth anyway,
どうせ迷路生き抜くなら
Kimi o tsukiru made ai shite shinitai yo
I want to die loving you until I'm totally spent!
君を尽きるまで愛して 死にたいよ
You've improved.
Ozma, come back!
Understood.
Alto.
Ranka's chosen her path.
And I'll choose my own path, too.
Soshite hajimaru no da
Then it will begin,
そして始まるのだ
Inochi-gake no owari
A fateful ending.
命懸けの終わり
Tatakau you ni ai shita
I loved like I was fighting,
戦うように愛した
Where are you going?
Gusha-gusha ni yume o ketta
I kicked the dream to a pulp,
ぐしゃぐしゃに夢を蹴った
Sono hoshi ni hatetakatta
I wanted to meet my end on that planet,
その惑星に果てたかった
DAMMIT!!!
Kimi no sora sakitakatta ah
I wanted to bloom in your sky ah...
君の空咲きたかった ａｈ…
Dare ka kuukyo no rinkaku o sotto nadete kurenai ka
Won't someone gently caress the empty outline?
誰か空虚の輪郭をそっと撫でてくれないか
Toki no hadou ni kakikesarete sukuenakatta ai no kotoba
Erased by the crashing waves of time, those words of love couldn't be saved.
時の波動に掻き消されて救えなかった愛の言葉
Dakara mou ichido kotae ga hoshii
So one more time, I want an anwer.
だから もう一度 応えが欲しい
Shukumei ni haritsukerareta hokkyokusei ga moeteru
Polaris is burning, pinned to our destiny...
宿命に張り付けられた北極星が燃えてる
Kimi o kakimushitte nigoraseta
I plucked you out and muddled the situation,
君を掻き毟って濁らせた
Nanoni karen ni warau toko
And yet, you laughed endearingly...
なのに可憐に笑うトコ

I loved that...

Is this our destination?
No, it must be...
Ohh, finally!
We've arrived, haven't we?
Yes.
At the planet where resides the true Queen of the Vajra.
At our Treasure Island!
Ranka's memory revives.
Before the solved mysteries,
what final decision will Alto make?
Next time,
True Begin.
Song of Fate, echo throughout the Galaxy.
