-[Mylene] Ranked 194th. This is hopeless.
-[rock music playing]
We finally got to make our debut,
and we're a flop.
What will thinking accomplish? Nothing
will happen until you start singing.
Oh, yeah? In that case
Ray, it's been brief, but it was fun.
[pop music playing]
And then there's this girl who has trouble
pouring her heart into this song
That's you, right?
-[rain pattering]
-Rain?
Have you forgotten
what I told you about the dream?
I am investigating whether this species
can make my dream come true.

[Ray] Keep it coming! Good!
Okay, we're good.
Wait for me. I'm coming with you.
[Basara] Ray! What's going on?
I told you already. Routine maintenance.
[grunts]
You really never listen
to what people say.
-You're here?
-Yes, I'm here!
-What for?
-I came to discuss my song with Ray!
This early in the morning?
[sighs] It's almost noon, you know?
Is it?
Why are you transporting it? Wouldn't
it be faster if I walked it there myself?
A Battroid walking in the middle
of the road? You'll cause a panic.
Don't worry, it'll come back
as good as new.
But I really don't like
other people messing around with it.
Just leave it to me, all right?
This is an old pal of mine.
He's top-notch.
Old pal?
Hey, what did Ray do
before joining the band?
You didn't know before joining us?
Well, I mean
Come on, what did he do?
I have no idea, either.
What the heck?
He never talks about his past.
I'm going back to sleep.
[sighs]
-I wonder what Ray did in the past.
-[car approaches]
-Hello.
-[gasps] Ms. Akiko!
Where's Ray? Inside?
He went out. You just missed him.
Oh.
Can I help you?
I just wanted to talk to him
about the next concert.
I think it might lead to something good
for Fire Bomber.
I got some people in the industry
to come and see your show.
I think it'll be a good opportunity.
It's a great opportunity!
That's why I wanted to go through
the details with Ray.
But since he's not here, I guess
I'll have to come back another time.
I'll tell him to contact you right away
when I see him.
Please do.
He's always been the type
that's hard to catch.
You've known him a long time
right, Ms. Akiko?
That's right.
What did Ray do before this?
-You don't know?
-No.
He was a pilot.
An elite pilot for the military.
-[Gubaba mews]
-A pilot?
[engineer] Metal fatigue on arm joint B103
at level 0.0004
Icon for the chaff
and decoy manager is all clear.
[engineer 2] Changing CRT seeker channel.
Putting it on the screen now.
Apart from the paint coming off
in a few places, things are going well.
And the readings are better
than we expected.
The VF-19 really is
a cutting edge fighter.
Yes, it really is a well-crafted Valkyrie.
I hear the latest model
of Valkyrie is here,
so I thought I could take a peek
through the window or something?
I'm sorry, sir,
but Maintenance Bay 20 is off limits
to all unauthorized personnel.
Please, I just want to know
whether it's a specific model.
I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
[grunts]
[commander] Even though this also serves
as a field test,
we're not providing the VF-19 for free.
Yes, sir.
I hear that Operation M
is behind schedule.
[Ray] Yes.
If things don't go as planned,
we'll have to reboot the project
That won't be necessary, sir!
Just give me a little more time.
[sighs]
Captain Maximilian
Oh, yes.
All I can say right now
is that Basara Nekki is a very good pilot.
Captain!
Not as good as I was
back in the day, of course.
[song playing]
[concierge] Sorry, Miss.
Today is industry-only.
Hey! Is it me, or do we have
a different type of audience today?
Of course we do.
It wasn't easy,
but Akiko convinced some directors,
producers and music journalists
to come and see the show.
I see.
It's nice to have released a single,
but it'd be bad if it doesn't sell, right?
Well, if you're able to get even one of
these entertainment people interested,
it should lead to something down the line.
You should thank Akiko.
Right. Thank you.
It's nothing really.
Anyway, we'll just do what we always do.
Yeah.

Ray!

[grunting]
-Ray!
-Ray!
Ray!
[strains]
-Ray!
-[groans]
Shit, they got away.
[Akiko] Ray! Hang in there!
Ray, talk to me.
-Civilian injured, send an ambulance.
-Ray! Ray!
[groans]
[siren wailing in distance]
Well, none of his internal organs
were damaged,
so there's no need to be worried.
He'll need to rest
until his wound heals, though.
A speedy recovery, then.
[sighs] You really had me worried, Ray.
Yeah.
Fifteen stitches to the gut.
Guess that's what you call
a badge of honor, huh? [laughs]
[groans]
Now you're just behaving like a wrestler
showing off his scars.
Man, thank God it was nothing serious.
-Yeah.
-I'm sorry.
If you hadn't had to save me
Don't worry about it, Akiko.
It was just an accident.
But, Ray, why didn't you shoot
the enemy back there?
Huh?
[Mylene] When they were closing in on you.
Oh, that. I just didn't know
how to use a gun.
What?
Let's go finish up the paperwork.
Okay.
[alarm blares]
Ray! Where's my Valkyrie?
Maintenance should be done, right?
Yeah, I guess.
Where is it? I'll go get it!
[sighs]
[controller] This is Flight Control.
Hailing all civilian ships.
Prepare to receive instructions
for evacuation. Proceed at 0.33
Enemy numbers?
Five ships and four fighters,
at 10.7 speed.
Bandits approaching area D.
And Diamond Force?
-Ready for launch.
-The vanguard has engaged the bandits!
[controller] Launching D Force.
Elevating catapult. Runway is clear.
-Ray, I'll go get it!
-[alarm blares]
[grunts]
Just wait a minute, will you?
Come on, tell me where it is, man.
-Basara.
-What?
Go back to the slums and wait there.
I'll contact you.
-Contact me?
-Yeah.
I'm counting on you, man.
[groans]
[nurse] It's okay,
it's safe here at the hospital.
[panting]
Why? What happened?
Don't tell me Basara took him outside?
Who knows?
Ray can't even get up.
This is Ray Loverock.
Is the VF-19's maintenance complete?
Okay. Then can you transport it
to point S-8?
Point G-3 then,
since it's close to the catapult there.
Yes, I'll go myself.
I'll go look for him!
-Wait, Mylene.
-[Gubaba mews]
It's no use. You won't find him.
He probably went on his own accord.
[groans]
-Mylene.
-Yes?
You were asking Ray why he didn't shoot?
Yes.
-He won't shoot anyone.
-[Mylene] Huh?
He won't fight.
He was a pilot, but that was
before Macross 7's departure.
Ray, Kinryu and Stefan. The three men
who formed the Pink Pecker squadron.
-[Mylene] Pink Pecker?
-[Akiko] That's right.
Um
Ray and Stefan were especially close.
Almost inseparable.
But in a battle with remnant forces
of the Zentradi,
the two of them were stranded
behind enemy lines.
It was a fight or flight situation,
and Ray chose to fight
despite Stefan's objections.
Stefan was killed in action.
Ray blamed himself for Stefan's death
and quit the military.
He just won't pull the trigger anymore.
Were you close to Ray from way back then?
-To Ray?
-Yes.
Well
-[sighs]
-Hmm?
I was Stefan's girlfriend.
It was Ray who supported and comforted me,
even though he was in pain, as well.
[automated voice] Exit closed
due to combat alert.
All entrances and exits
are being used for retrieval.
Once all vehicles have been retrieved,
Milky Road Landing will remain closed
until safety is assured.
Shit.
[Akiko] Thanks to Ray,
I was able to move on from my grief.
But Ray disappeared,
his heart still broken.
Then after a few years he suddenly
appeared again. This time in good spirits.
He said he had found a new dream.
[Mylene] A new dream?
That dream was Basara.
What? Basara?
Yes. It was as if Ray got his youth back.
It was so infuriating.
Infuriating?
[Akiko] Yes.
He said that he had to see
this new thing through for Stefan.
[groans]
Shoulda picked a different drop-off point.
That it was a dream
worth risking his life for.
For Basara?
Men really are incomprehensible,
aren't they?
They're idiots, though,
that much is for sure.
[Ray groans]
-[operator] Woodpeckers are?
-Pink.
You're 52 seconds late.
My watch doesn't show seconds.
-You'll take it from here?
-Yeah. Thanks, man.
You're a real lifesaver.
[phone beeps]
[groans]
Hello, Basara?
-Damn!
-[Kinryu, over comms] D1 to D2.
Yes, Commander.
Physica got separated.
I'm going to get him.
-You okay on your own?
-Yes, sir.
-Commander?
-What?
Have you seen that civilian craft?
Mr. Karaoke? Must've given up.
Don't worry about him.
Roger.
I'm not worried about him. In fact,
his absence makes it easier to fight.
That was reckless!
I said I'd go get it!
My friend's shy.
So, it had to be me.
Hey, what are you Ouch! Wait.
I'll help you to the van.
No way. It's my body,
I can get myself there.
Enough about me. You just go.
This is a military hatch we're using.
We're toast if we get caught.
You never change.
Just get back to the hospital, okay?
Yeah.
You'd better go back, you hear?
What are you doing?
Just go already! I'll be okay!
The rain feels so good.
Just let me rest like this a while more.
-[laughs]
-[Valkyrie engine starts]
Why, you
This guy just won't give up.

[grunts]
Is he gonna be okay?
He'll be fine.
You seem really sure about that.
What? [sighs]
[Mylene] That doctor really went off
on Ray hard.
Of course he did.
He had to perform the same surgery
twice in one day.
But that should keep Ray
out of mischief for a while.
Come on, Akiko,
let's go get something to eat.
Yo, don't I get to go?
Me and Akiko have
some grown-up things to talk about.
You can go home and chew
on a burger like a good little boy.
[laughs] All right, I'll do that.
Tell me something.
Is that latest Valkyrie that was here
this morning still here?
I'm sorry, sir,
I cannot answer that question.
[grunts]
[drums playing]
Welcome back.
Thanks, I really missed this place.
Yeah, it just wasn't the same
without you, Ray.
[Akiko] There's another surprise.
Fire Bomber's promotional video.
Really?
Yes.
It's a media tie-in, but it was decided
after your performance that day.
We did it, Ray!
[laughs]
[laughs]
You're one step closer
to fulfilling your dream, Ray.
Huh?

aren't they?
They're idiots, though,
that much is for sure.
[Ray groans]
-[operator] Woodpeckers are?
-Pink.
You're 52 seconds late.
My watch doesn't show seconds.
-You'll take it from here?
-Yeah. Thanks, man.
You're a real lifesaver.
[phone beeps]
[groans]
Hello, Basara?
-Damn!
-[Kinryu, over comms] D1 to D2.
Yes, Commander.
Physica got separated.
I'm going to get him.
-You okay on your own?
-Yes, sir.
-Commander?
-What?
Have you seen that civilian craft?
Mr. Karaoke? Must've given up.
Don't worry about him.
Roger.
I'm not worried about him. In fact,
his absence makes it easier to fight.
That was reckless!
I said I'd go get it!
My friend's shy.
So, it had to be me.
Hey, what are you Ouch! Wait.
I'll help you to the van.
No way. It's my body,
I can get myself there.
Enough about me. You just go.
This is a military hatch we're using.
We're toast if we get caught.
You never change.
Just get back to the hospital, okay?
Yeah.
You'd better go back, you hear?
What are you doing?
Just go already! I'll be okay!
The rain feels so good.
Just let me rest like this a while more.

Ray! Ray! Ray!
[grunts]
Is he gonna be okay?
He'll be fine.
You seem really sure about that.
What? [sighs]
[Mylene] That doctor really went off
on Ray hard.
Of course he did.
He had to perform the same surgery
twice in one day.
But that should keep Ray
out of mischief for a while.
Come on, Akiko,
let's go get something to eat.
Yo, don't I get to go?
Me and Akiko have
some grown-up things to talk about.
You can go home and chew
on a burger like a good little boy.
[laughs] All right, I'll do that.
Tell me something.
Is that latest Valkyrie that was here
this morning still here?
I'm sorry, sir,
I cannot answer that question.
[grunts]
[drums playing]
Welcome back.
Thanks, I really missed this place.
Yeah, it just wasn't the same
without you, Ray.
[Akiko] There's another surprise.
Fire Bomber's promotional video.
Really?
Yes.
It's a media tie-in, but it was decided
after your performance that day.
We did it, Ray!
[laughs]
[laughs]
You're one step closer
to fulfilling your dream, Ray.
Huh?
[giggles]
My dream?
[giggles] Never mind, never mind.
