When I look up at the purple panorama ♪
The galactic highway ♪
A SHOOTING STAR pierces my heart ♪
When I match my quickening heartbeat ♪

I hear that melody ♪
A mysterious voice

And this troubled heart of mine? ♪

[music stops]
[gasps, sighs]
I'll be damned if I let them
take her from City 7!
Hey! Where have you people
taken Miss Mylene?
Mylene's a member of Fire Bomber.
If our song can reach her, she'll answer!
-If your song can reach her?
-Basara
The Spiritia Farm Project.
[engines firing]
The time has come
for my dream to be fulfilled.
[controller 1] Bolognaise and ships 3, 5
and 6, head to Area D3 and sweep the area.
Midship Michigan, head to Area A103
for sentry duty.
FOLD OU
Valkyrie squadrons on the orange line,
please report.
-This is Sperion Leader, nothing in sight.
-Please deploy the Valkyrie squadrons.
Slasher Squadron here,
heading towards Area 3637.
[controller 1] Copy that.
Sending Flash Blue Squadron your way.
[controller 2] Sweep of Areas D3031
and A4532 complete.
This is D2. Still haven't found
any traces of dimensional fold in.
Continuing search.
Copy.
[Gamlin] Miss Mylene, I hope you're safe.
[controller 3]
Rhinelane launching second search party.
[pilot] Yo, bridge, can you hear me?
We need more scout ships out here!
This is taking forever!
[leader] This is Rosemary Leader,
no fold traces found.
Valkyrie squadrons
on the yellow and orange lines,
continue search.
Squadrons Fraulein,
Kaiser and Hellfish, returning to refuel.
Calling City 7! Calling City 7!
This is Battle 7 bridge.
Come in, please.
This is Battle 7 bridge, come in, please.
We've been had.
I can't believe they've seized City 7.
[electronic bell tolling]
[citizens] What's going on? What?
Oh, no. I'm scared.
[operator 1] Drift sector, pinpointed.
Coordinate axis, sector 05SX46KY77MZ.
[soldier] Why did you not fold out
where Lord Gepelnitchi designated?
[operator 2] It seems this system is dated
and incapable of long-range fold.
[soldier] Fold again immediately.
Adjust the coordinates now.
[operator 1]
To fold again, we have to wait seven hours
to adjust coordinates and recharge energy.
[soldier] Begin process.
We cannot abort
Lord Gepelnitchi's operation.
[operator 1] Understood.
[Gubaba mewing]
Dad and Gamlin must be so worried.
-[drumsticks tapping rhythmically]
-Okay, I'm done.
[Ray] Lost in space, huh?
Things are getting wild.
Well, shit happens, right?
Hey, this is serious, okay?
[Ray] I know,
but with the TV broadcast down
Fellow citizens,
-I am Mayor Milia Farina Jenius.
-Mom!
Please remain calm
while I make this announcement.
City 7 is currently separated
from Battle 7
and drifting in space.
Though we have yet to identify the cause
of our situation, please be assured that
all life support systems of City 7
are functioning as normal.
We are in no danger whatsoever.
I implore you all to cope with this
situation in a calm and peaceful manner.
[Ray, Mylene gasp]
That's
Okay, let's see what they have to say.
[soldier] We have completely taken over
the power facility beneath this city.
Anyone who tries to approach
the facility will be eliminated.
[beeps]
-[scoffs] I see.
-What do you mean, you see?
The enemy's taken us prisoner!
That's nothing.
How is it nothing?
Mylene, can you take us to Mayor Milia?
What? To Mom?
We still can't get through.
The system is denying all access.
They must have taken over
the main computer.
[assistant] The air locks
are still closed off as well.
We can't even escape from City 7.
[Milia] Even if we did,
we have nowhere to go.
[assistant] Right.
It's really quiet out there.
Maybe they know
it's no use doing anything.
[sighs]
Part of me actually wants them to riot.
At least that way,
we might find a way out of this.
[stutters] Mayor!
[chuckles]
I was just joking.
[typing]
[operator 1]
Coordinates adjustment complete.
Commencing fold drive energy charge.
[soldier]
We are 400 seconds behind schedule.
-Hurry.
-Understood.
Angel Leader to all units.
Picking anything up?
[pilot] Negative.
-[controller] Leading Tom Squadron, fuel
-That's
[thrusters pulsing]
This is D2. This is D2. Object discovered.
-I'm bringing it back now!
-[controller 2] Copy that.
We're building up fold energy?
Yes. At this rate,
we'll be folding again
in less than four hours.
[Milia] Our deadline is midnight.
We have to do something before then or
-[knocks on door]
-Come in.
[door opens]
-[Mylene] Mom!
-Huh?
[Milia] Mylene!
[stutters] How did you people get in?
The security system is down
throughout City 7.
You can access practically anywhere.
[sighs]
-Stop this nonsense! What rude people.
-[tapping on wall]
Get out right now!
It's okay. I know them.
[assistant] Oh.
[Milia] So, what's your business?
We'd like to do something crazy.
Something crazy?
Captain, analysis on the retrieved debris
is complete!
-Really?
-[controller] Yes.
Judging from the residual radiation,
it's from a sector
at coordinate axis 05SX46KY77MZ.
All right, open up
a fold communications link to that sector.
[controller] Yes, sir.
As we suspected, Captain.
Folding such an unusually large mass
leaves behind some traces
of the spatial interchange.
[Max] Yes.
[controller]
City 7's fold communications are offline.
-[Max] Keep hailing them!
-Yes, sir.
How long will it take for us
to commence a fold to that sector?
It's quite a long distance.
To reach that sector,
we will need approximately eight hours
to charge up the fold energy.
Eight hours
[controller 2] Captain!
We have an emergency call
from Capt. Kinryu of Diamond Force.
Patch it in.
Captain, requesting permission
to use fold boosters.
Fold boosters?
I am suggesting that Diamond Force
should fold to City 7's location
in advance, using fold boosters
to prepare for the enemy attack.
Those boosters are still in development.
Using them for a long-range fold
is too dangerous.
Captain, may I have a word?
Gamlin, what are you doing?
Interrupting a call of a superior officer
is in violation of authority!
It's all right. What is it, Lieutenant?
Using the boosters is dangerous,
but the people of City 7
are in even more danger.
I believe it is our duty as soldiers
to protect the people with our lives.
Please grant us permission to deploy.
Captain!
All right.
Thank you, sir!
I'm authorizing Diamond Force
for the use of fold boosters.
-Have them ready ASAP!
-[controller 2] Yes, sir.
That was really something, Lt. Gamlin.
I really respect your persistence.
What I said was all just a matter of fact.
Yes. But the fold boosters,
will we be okay?
What?
[operator 1] Three hours left
until energy charge is complete.
Going well.
-Here we go.
-["Planet Dance" playing]
What?
[operator 2]
Sound of Spiritia Anomaly Code C detected.
-[soldier] What?
-This.
[Basara] Okay, let's get started
SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
How you feelin' ♪
[soldier] Measuring Spiritia,
matching samples.
[operator 2]
Unable to measure from this monitor.
[soldier] It does not match the
physical shape of Spiritia Anomaly Code C.
[operator 2]
Sound wave length is identical.
[operator 1] Need to close in on target
to measure Spiritia.
Approximately 60 seconds' distance
for the Elgersoln.
[soldier] No need to engage.
Fold procedure takes priority.
[vessel zaps]
I've found you, damn samples!
-["Planet Dance" playing]
-[beeping tone]
[operator 2]
Emergency call from Commander Gigil.
[soldier] Put it through.
I was looking for you.
Wait, what's with the song?
Why can I hear that guy's song?
[soldier]
Sound from surface level detected.
Confirmed as sound
of Spiritia Anomaly Code C.
[Gigil] I know that!
Have you gone to confirm?
[soldier]
We have prioritized fold procedure.
So you'll take orders
from Gepelnitchi, but not me?
Then you better be ready
to face the consequences!
[soldier] Understood.
Deploy Elgersoln to investigate
sound source.
[soldier 2] Understood.
Good. I'll rendezvous with you
in about 80 minutes.
I want a good look
at Gepelnitchi's so-called Spiritia Farm.
[operator 1]
100 minutes until energization.
[music continues through speaker]
Here they come.
NO MORE WASTIN' LOVE ♪
I'm almost out of patience, Ray.
Moving on to phase two of the plan.
Then it's your time to shine.
Mylene, Veffidas, hit it.
["Planet Dance" playing through speaker]
Okay, let's get started SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
How you feelin' ♪
[operator 2] Sound of Spiritia Anomaly
Code C coming from around Office City.
[soldier] Spiritia Anomaly Code C
should only produce one sound source.
Confirm with past data. Deploy Elgersoln.
[operator 1] Same sound signature detected
on AZ Highway.
[soldier] Investigate at once.
[Basara] How you feelin'? ♪

This is a flying paradise ♪
A half-forgotten energy ♪

Who has eyes only for you ♪
[Mylene] Chasing those legendary ♪
All right, let's go!
Mayor, is it wise to entrust everything
to people like that?
You're right.
We should have a backup plan.
-A backup plan?
-Yes.
Madam Mayor, where are you going?
Like I said,
I'm coming up with a backup plan.
All right.
["Planet Dance" playing]
Damn it, why do I have to pull
this kind of stunt?
-[music continues]
-[operator 2] Detected in Central City.
Detected in Nature Park.
-[operator 1] Detected on CB Highway.
-[soldier] And the data?
[operator 1] Records show
Spiritia Anomaly Code C to be singular.
[operator 2] No multiple simultaneous
appearances were recorded.
If we deploy Elgersolns
to investigate all of them,
it will affect fold operation speed.
[operator 1] Sixty-seven minutes left
until Fold Drive energization.
Work efficiency down 40%.
Another sound signature detected
in Central Area.
A SAD SONG of resignation
Sung by a liar ♪
[operator 1] Spritia level 65.
Non-match with Spiritia Anomaly Code C.
That's it, just stay on my tail.
Basara, you're up.
Okay! Let's go!
-Ready, you two?
-Okay when you are.
[Docker] Is this really going to be okay?
According to my calculation,
the probability of success
is less than 50%.
Those odds are good enough!
D3, there's no backing out now.
So say your prayers and man up!
-Roger!
-D Force, fold!
[engines power up]
[soldier 3] Spritia level 65.
Non-match with Spiritia Anomaly Code C.

Is this going to be okay?
Hold fast now.
Almost there. We're almost there.
Basara here. I'm in!
Heading for the control room.
Got it. The enemy might be
on to us though.
Doesn't matter.
I had hoped to fool them
for another 30 minutes, but
Go get 'em, Basara.

Give it all you've got, Basara.
[gasps]

Well, at least we've managed to escape
falling into the enemy's hands.
Yep, that's right.
At least we're okay for now.

What do you mean, "okay"?
Do you even know what that word means?
