[narrator] In the year 2009,
the human race
made first contact with aliens.
Pushed into a war in space
with this army of giants
known as the Zentradi,
Earth was brought
to the brink of destruction.
March 2010. The war ends.
That April, the New U.N. Government
was established,
ushering in a new era
of peaceful coexistence
between humanity and the Zentradi.
Zentradi who wished to reduce themselves
to human size were able to,
via a process called "miclonization."
September 2011.
The New U.N. Government
devises the Humanity Emigration Plan
with the purpose of
preserving the human race.
September 2012. The first
Super Long-Range Emigration Fleet,
the Megaroad-01, is launched.
September 2030.
The first New Macross Class
emigration ship is launched.
Dwarfing its Megaroad predecessors,
this new class can carry
one million people.
In 2038, the Seventh New
Macross Class Ship and flagship
to the 37th Super Long-Range Emigration
Fleet, Macross 7, is launched.
Its destination: the Galactic Core.
The year is now 2045.
It's Super Nova time! Super Nova!
As unreasonable as ever, I see.
And you're as stubborn as always.
Wow, look who's gone soft.
Well, I've changed since we were together.

[presenter] A couple was also attacked
on the highway last night,
bringing the number of victims
in this recent series of attacks to eight.
However, police have yet to identify
any suspects in this case,
meaning that these disturbing
crimes plaguing City 7 will
I swear the whole world's gone nuts.
Don't you think?
It says here that vampires
might be behind the attacks.
That's the Galactic Tabloid, right?
Those tabloids are always making stuff up.
But everybody's talking about it.
There's no such thing as vampires, okay?
Come on, where's your imagination?
Don't spoil the fun, okay?
-[laughs] Oh.
-[drumsticks continue tapping]
Hey!
Some fun! One of the victims
was attacked right by our concert!
-[gasps] Well, that's not my fault.
-[Gubaba mews]
[sirens wailing in distance]
Doctor, what's wrong with the victims?
[sighs]
The one thing they all have in common
is that they're physically unharmed.
So they weren't actually harmed?
It's baffling.
I've never seen anything like this.
-[footsteps approach]
-Then what
What's a military doctor doing here?
We have some questions
about your patients.
So, their symptoms are the same
as those of our injured pilots?
Yes, Dr. Chiba confirmed it himself.
There's no mistake.
[Max sighs] Mmm.
So, they've infiltrated the fleet.
Captain Max! What in the world is
What is going on?
Allow me to explain, Mayor.
This way, please.
-Give me a close-up of the Battroid type.
-[operator] Yes, sir.
[researcher 1] Make sure to save
the sample data.
[researcher 2] Understood.
[liquid pours]
I don't need you to serve me drinks.
Oh, right.
So, in short, enemy soldiers
have infiltrated City 7, correct?
That's not what I said.
But that's the only
logical conclusion, right?
Am I wrong?
It's a possibility, but there's
no concrete evidence at this point.
Isn't the current situation
evidence enough?
[grunts]
How will you deal with this?
People are possibly being attacked
as we speak, you know?
We're analyzing the situation
as fast as we can.
And we've increased patrols
in the city, of course.
I guess there's not much more
you can do for now.
I just hope you'll be able
to get some wins on the board soon.
[stammers] Milia?
What is it now?
-It's about Mylene.
-What?
She's joined some weird band
and gets home late from concerts, right?
Please keep an eye on her.
If it's Mylene you're worried about,
don't be.
[over comms] According to
infiltration team 45Z's report,
the mission is still ongoing.
-Good. Commence the next phase.
-Understood!
[Mylene] Thanks, everybody!
See you all at the next concert, okay?
[patron] That was lit, man!
[crew] Keep it coming, keep it coming.
Okay, stop!
-[crew 2] Understood. I'm sorry.
-Okay.
-I'll hurry.
-You guys, get a move on.
All right!
We have the entire day off tomorrow.
Hey, you know that part where
you always come in a bit late, Basara?
Don't you think we should
practice it some more?
Say what? I'm not late.
You come in too early!
I'm just following the score!
-Uh?
-Your timing's off.
Don't you know anything?
It's called pausing for dramatic effect!
Nonsense! How's anyone supposed
to harmonize with that?
-Mylene!
-[grunts]
We'll talk about this tomorrow.
Careful on your way home, okay?
Yeah.
Maybe Basara can walk you home.
It might be dangerous going alone.
It's okay. My place isn't far from here.
If I run into a vampire,
I'll get it to take a selfie with me!
See ya.
-There he is!
-Now's our chance!
Basara!
-This is for you!
-Take mine too!
-[grunts]
-The concert was great!
Okay.
-You were so cool!
-[Basara grunts]
-Can I get your autograph?
-I want one too!
Basara, you're so tall!
But, hey, the woman behind him
is pretty tall too!
Wow, you're right!
[metal clanking]
[scoffs]
What's your problem?
Mayor Milia is concerned for your safety.
She would like you to come home,
at least until this vampire thing is over.
Give me a break!
Tell her to mind her own business!
And I don't need bodyguards!
Shoo! Go away!
But we can't just
I said go away! See ya!
[grunts]
[grunts] Miss Mylene! Wait!
Yeah, not happening!
[dog barking]
Miss Mylene!
Please, wait!
-[Gubaba mews]
-They just don't take a hint!
[Michael] Miss Mylene!
Miss Mylene!
Where are you?
-[mewing]
-Jeez.
What is it, Gubaba?
[branch rustles]
[device beeping]
-[Gubaba mews]
-[gasps]
[gasps]
Hold it!
-Come on!
-Basara!
-Why are you
-Uh? Oh
I saw this suspicious-looking guy
following you, so
[both panting]
[electronic voice]
Spiritia Level unusually high.
Enhancement through fear confirmed.
Highly effective.
What the hell are they?
-No idea. They might be those vampires!
-[grunts]
-Miss Mylene!
-Who are they?
My bodyguards, apparently.
[grunts]
-Bodyguards?
-Kinda.
Hey, you!
[groans]
-What are we gonna do down here?
-Uh?
It's a dead end!
Don't worry.
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
Do something! The vampires are coming!
It stinks down here. Can't you smell it?
Sure can.
But you seem fine with it.
[sighs] Weren't you going to take a selfie
with the vampires?
-I didn't have a camera on me.
-[sighs]
-[Mylene] Hey!
-Mmm?
So, you were worried?
About what?
You followed me, right?
-Yeah.
-So were you worried?
About what?
About me!
Well, it's dangerous
for kids to walk home alone.
[Gubaba mews]
I was worried about Gubaba, too.
-[footsteps approaching]
-Huh?
Miss Mylene!
So, it's you!
You're the one who dragged
Miss Mylene down here!
-What?
-No! You've got it all wrong!
[growls, grunts]
What are you doing, man?
Hey!
You punk!
Hey! I said stop it, okay?
But
Here they come.
Damn it!
[grunting]
[exclaims]
[grunts]
Stop that! You'll hit Miss Mylene!
Get Miss Mylene out of here!
I will! Make sure you get outta here too!
Damn vampires. You're going down!
[panting, gasps]
Ouch!
You okay?
I twisted my ankle.
Can you walk?
It'll do.
Thank you.
Couldn't you have just
let your bodyguards help?
Gimme a break! They're always in the way.
Well, they have a job to do.
I'm not the one who hired them, okay?
Well, whatever.
Look, I know you might not get it,
but I left home to be independent.
So I can't just go back and ask for help
every time I'm in trouble, okay?
I hate doing things halfway, you know?
[chuckles] Gotcha.
[alarm blares]
Enemy craft has folded out
within the red line.
[controller] Contacting the mayor.
The enemy must be very technologically
advanced to fold out this close to us.
They're attacking both the fleet
and the city at once.
-Lower the protective shell!
-Yes, sir!
-[Basara grunts]
-[gasps]
-[exclaims]
-Ouch! What the hell? That hurt!
-You okay?
-I'm fine.
[alarm blaring in distance]
I'm sorry.
About what?
Hey, the alarm is sounding.
Yeah.
The enemy's attacking again.
Probably.
-Hey.
-Hmm?
You want to go, right?
What?
To go sing.
-Hey.
-What is it?
It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
Like hell you will.
I'll be fine!
No, you won't!
[alarm blaring]
[explosion]
Just go, okay?
We must've lost them by now.
Give it a rest already.
I'll go to Ray's.
Then that makes two of us.
[Mylene exclaims]
What are you doing? Hey, Basara!
[controller] 270 seconds
to full shell closure.
Deploy Diamond Force.
Yes, sir!
Launching Diamond Force.
Raising catapults.
[officer] Angel Leader to A3
D1 to D2 and D3.
Keep the enemy away from the fleet!
Asymmetric formation D!
-Roger!
-Roger!
[scoffs] Damn cannon fodder.
[Gamlin] Split up
and take them out individually!
-Roger!
-Roger!
I'm not letting you through!
Physica, he went your way! Take him out!
[Physica] Roger!
[beeping]
[Physica] Gotcha!
[scoffs] Uh.
It's him!
It's that guy!
[rock music playing]
Hit it!
