When I look up at the purple panorama ♪
The galactic highway ♪
A SHOOTING STAR pierces my heart ♪
When I match my quickening heartbeat ♪
To the sleepless city ♪
Praying to an uncertain tomorrow ♪
I hear that melody ♪
A mysterious voice
That won't let me go ♪
Tell me, SEVENTH MOON ♪
Where are you taking me ♪
And this troubled heart of mine? ♪
Palely shimmering, SEVENTH MOON ♪
I'm just looking for an answer ♪
In the rhythm
With this crazy dance of mine ♪
[music stops]
[Milia] What are you
and what are your kind after?
Your arms are too rigid.
Well, look who's acting all serious today.
Yes, this is jealousy.
[Basara] Follow your heart ♪
Let's shout it out loud ♪
JUMPIN' ON THE PLANET DANCE ♪
Why, you! Come back here!
Just stop it!
Oh, well. Someday you'll understand.
This is a flying paradise ♪
A half-forgotten energy ♪
NOW HURRY UP ♪
Let's get it back ♪
[scoffs] Spiritia Farm, my ass!
We still haven't even taken
the samples' residential area!
[soldier] All ships, ready for fold.
-All right! All ships, deploy!
-Understood.
Just you wait and see, Gepelnitchi.
I'm going to harvest me lots of Spiritia!
[soldier] Gigil's fleet
just deployed without permission.
Leave him be. It doesn't matter.
MUSIC BOX ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Whoa.
Cool.
Totally different from Mom's Valkyrie.
[Basara] Hey! What are you doing up there?
[gasps] I was just fidgeting with it,
and it changed to Gerwalk mode.
Damn it. They're all dirty now!
Sorry about that.
But this Valkyrie is pretty awesome.
Isn't it the latest model?
Just get down from there already! And
don't touch my stuff without permission!
[sighs]
Meanie! I was just playing
with it a little!
Besides, you never know
when the enemy will strike again.
Don't you think it's a good idea
if I learned to use this thing?
-No, I don't.
-Why not?
You're not cut out for this.
Oh, yeah? Well, you're the one not
utilizing everything this machine can do!
Valkyries are fighter planes.
They're made to take out enemy fighters!
This is why you're not cut out for this.
What are you talking about?
How are you going to protect City 7, then?
[sighs] I've had enough of this.
I'm not letting you
touch that Valkyrie again!
What's your problem?
[Basara] Nothing ever comes of
people shooting each other.
How do you plan to defeat the enemy, then?
What the heck! Jeez!
[door opens]
How is he?
Any progress?
No, nothing's changed.
Madam Mayor, please take a look at this.
-What is it?
-The helmet he was wearing.
Analysis of its functions shows
that this device can emit
special ultrasonic sound waves.
Special sound waves?
Yes. It's a frequency that can
potentially manipulate brain waves.
This is just speculation,
but he was probably brainwashed by this
helmet to become a mindless robot.
That's why even though he is human,
he attacked us just the same.
The question is, who brainwashed him?
That's beyond me.
So, unless he regains consciousness,
we won't know anything.
[Gamlin] Miss Mylene,
I hope you're all right.
-Physica.
-[grunts]
Lieutenant.
What's the matter? Why are you here?
What's that?
Just a toy I made between missions.
[music box plays]
Today is my son's birthday, you see.
I rushed to finish it on time, but
I see.
So, your wife and child are in City 7?
He's two years old now,
but he still doesn't remember my face.
[Gamlin] So, I'm not the only one praying
that City 7 is unharmed.
Lieutenant, will we really be
able to find City 7 again?
Of course!
We'll find them, no matter what!
But what if City 7 has already
fallen into enemy hands?
Don't worry about that, they're fine!
[sighs]
Get it together, Physica.
You're just tired.
Go get some sleep. Unwind.
Lieutenant
The recalibration of the Fold Boosters
will be done by tomorrow.
Then we'll go find City 7 right away,
and you'll be able to give your
child that present, only one day late.
Yes, you're right.
[chuckles] Trust me, you wouldn't want
your son to know you by your sleepy face.
Right!
[knocks on door]
-[Milia] Come in.
-Mayor Milia!
-The captive has escaped!
-What?
Forgive us, ma'am.
He suddenly started struggling while we
were moving him out of the hospital and
But he was practically
in a vegetative state.
He must have been triggered by
a subconscious memory of some sort.
He had shown signs of fear
at being forced to move.
All right. The City Police
should find him in no time.

JUMPIN' ON THE PLANET ♪
Massive Defold detected up ahead!
There's no identification signal.
It's the enemy fleet.
-Putting it up on screen.
-So, they've come en masse.
All ships ahead, full battle speed.
All hands on deck!
[whirring]
[soldier] Main cannon
energy charge, complete.
All right! Fire all weapons!
Main cannon still targeting.
We don't have to hit them.
Let them have a shot and
we'll taste the fear in their hearts!
-Understood!
-Fire!
First barrage, incoming!
Captain, instruction on
placement of Pinpoint Barriers?
It's just an intimidation shot! Ignore it!
-Ignore it? [screams]
-Enemy fire approaching.
[Saint Ford] Zero contact
on all enemy fire.
[sighs]
Don't take your eyes off that monitor!
Watch the enemy closely
before they fire again.
Yes, sir!
[soldier] Second barrage ready to fire.
-[Gigil] How is the enemy reacting?
-They were nonreactive.
It seems their commander is pretty bold.
But how long will that last?
Lower propulsion by 75%,
go to interception formation!
[Miho] Yes, sir!
Captain, they're not behaving as usual.
Enemy is in range of
the interception fleet.
All right! Open fire!
-[beeping]
-[doctor] As you can see,
his brain waves are the same as usual.
But
[rock music playing]
For reasons unknown,
he reacts when he hears this band's music.
-Any theories on why this is happening?
-It's hard to say.
But because of this, all his vital
functions have been invigorated.
He might be able to regain consciousness
by listening to this music continually.
I see.
All right. Then I will employ
the help of this band.
A live performance should
help him recover even faster.
I don't know about that.
From my experience,
it's almost a certainty.
-Huh?
-Or did you forget?
I was one of the Zentradi who
experienced culture shock
through music back then.
-All right.
-A gig?
Yeah. They want us to go
perform at my mom's place.
Hey, hey, another one of the mayor's gigs?
Yeah, they want us
to perform for some VIP.
-Nothing to complain about then, right?
-Yes, I do have a complaint!
What I'm trying to say is
Come on, I don't think we should
cross Mylene's mother right now.
-Let's go!
-[scoffs]
-[alarm blaring]
-[controller] Diamond Force, scramble!
Diamond Force, scramble!
Diamond Force, catapult standing by.
[commander] This is Angel Leader,
bandits are beginning to breach
the first defense perimeter.
-We need more Valkyrie squadrons here!
-[controller] Copy that.
Sending Jaguar, Eagle
and Bear Squadrons your way.
Diamond Force ready to launch.
[controller] Copy.
Launching in T-minus 6 seconds.
Squadrons Ein, Cain and Smash are lost.
We have a breach in Area M18.
Diamond Force, launch!
-What is this? We have to play here?
-[drums playing]
[Milia] That's right.
This is ridiculous. You called us
here saying it was for a VIP!
He says he simply must hear your music.
What are you talking about?
He's an enemy captive!
Why do we have to perform for him?
You just don't get it. We perform for him
because he's the enemy!

[Gamlin] Physica, keep your guard up!
Lt. Gamlin! Battle 7 is transforming!
What?
D1 calling all D Force fighters!
Continue to lay cover fire for Battle 7
until transformation is complete.
Commander Kinryu!
[Kinryu] Physica, the enemy
still hasn't captured City 7.
[grunts]
This assault is proof of that.
They're desperate!
City 7 is okay! Listen to me, Physica!
Make it through this battle, and
you'll be able to see your family again!
This is D3, roger that!

Inform all squadrons to evacuate
the Macross Cannon's line of fire!
Fire Macross Cannon as soon as
transformation is complete!
Wait, sir! The Macross Cannon will need
about 400 seconds more to be ready.
The power generators
haven't finished charging.
-What?
-I'm sorry, sir.
I've only executed transformations
in simulations, so
Have it charged in 200 seconds!
We'll fire at 80% capacity!
But Captain,
the cannon's auto-limiter will kick in.
-[Max] Switch it to manual!

Target correction.
Redirect target three points starboard

That will miss the enemy by a lot, sir!
It won't miss.
The enemy will evade in that direction.
The intuition of a genius, I suppose?
[Saint Ford] Target adjustment, complete.
All squadrons confirmed to
have evacuated the line of fire.
No, wait! Lt. Gamlin of D Force is still
