MACROSS 7 FLEE
a giant emigration fleet traveling the
galaxy in search of a habitable planet.
But the universe is
an unpredictable place.
GIGIL
Seven years after leaving Earth,
they were attacked by a mysterious enemy,
and City 7 was separated from the fleet.
BATTLE 7
CITY 7
This unknown enemy also uses the same
type of weapons and fighters as Earth,
as well as unique,
never-before-seen weaponry,
to harvest a type of spiritual energy
called Spiritia from humans.
4TH PLANET OF THE VARAUTA SYSTEM
And now, from the fourth planet of the
Varauta System at the edge of the galaxy,
a new enemy called Sivil has been
awakened by the power of Spiritia.
SPIRITIA DISCHARGE
SIVIL
Sivil is a horrific entity capable
of unaided space flight.
GEPELNITCHI
Is the enemy collecting Spiritia
so they can awaken more
of their dangerous brethren?
DEADLY DATE
[bird chirping]
[chirping stops]
[yawns]
Build Spiritia.
[gasps]
Look out!
I messed up.
[exclaims]
[screams]
Spiritia Paradise.
[grunts, coughing]
Damn it, why do I have to go through this?
Come on, Basara. It's all part of the job.
[coughs]
Well, it doesn't feel that way.
[knocks on door]
Mr. Basara, you're on.
[Basara] Yeah.
And now, what you've all been waiting for!
Our special guest of the day!
He's the hero who has taken
City 7 by storm, Basara Nekki!
[rock music playing on speakers]
Hey, yo. I think you guys have
the wrong impression, man. Oh, brother.
Welcome, thank you for coming.
Now please, come here and take a seat.
Here he is, everybody!
The brave rock singer who single-handedly
drove off the hostile aliens!
-Mr. Basara Nekki!
-All right!
-Time to get this show on the road!
-What?
I'm singing!
No. I think an interview
will be enough for today.
[music on speakers ends]
[host exclaims]
I knew it. I just knew
it'd end up like this.
Okay, let's get started SATURDAY NIGHT ♪
[through speakers, distant]
How you feelin'? ♪

He's never going to change,
not until he dies.

-[Gamlin] Miss Mylene.
This is a flying paradise ♪
Gamlin!
Sorry about this, Miss Mylene.
I knew you had a television appearance,
but I really needed your help.
It's fine, really. You actually saved me
from being embarrassed on TV.
Come on. Let's go see Mom.
Yes, of course.
Before everything fades away
Like a dream ♪
HEY, EVERYBODY ♪
Head towards the light ♪

[music ends]
[driver exclaims]
Hey! Watch it!
-[horn honks]
-[driver gasps, yelps]
-[honking continues]
-What are you doing? Are you blind, you
[grunts]
Got a problem, jerk?
[whimpers]
Huh? [grunts, groans]
[drivers exclaiming]
[horns honking]
What's all the commotion?
-Um, Miss Mylene.
-Yes?
How should we apologize to instructor,
I mean, Mayor Milia?
A simple apology should be enough.
Wrecking Mom's Valkyrie
isn't really that much of a big deal.
Is that really true though?
She's a really busy person anyway,
so a Valkyrie or two
shouldn't occupy her mind for too long.
Even if she did fight beside Dad in it
and it's full of memories,
and she's cherished it for 35 years.
[Gubaba shrieks]
Hey, what's the matter, Gubaba?
What are you growling at?
That's
[no audible dialogue]
It's her!
[Mylene gasps]
Gamlin, what's wrong?
Nothing. Please wait for me there,
Miss Mylene.
[giggles]
In just ten hours since this morning,
the number of accidents, assault cases,
and other small crimes has been spiking.
This can't be a coincidence.
Agreed.
According to our computer analysis,
this might've been caused by frustrations
built up due to our separation
from the fleet.
[sighs] I just can't believe the people
of my city are that childish.
[officer grunts]
Anyway, please comb
through the data again.
There must be some other reason for this.
All right, we'll try.
[sighs]
I lost sight of
[Mylene] Of what? Come on, tell me.
Who did you lose sight of?
The enemy? It's the enemy!
Well, it's nothing really.
Come on, you can tell me.
[Gamlin sighs] It really is nothing.
[Mylene] Come on, please? Please?
-[Basara] Stop nagging me, man.
-[fans clamor]
Give it a rest, will ya?
[reporter]
What does rock music mean to you, Basara?
-I don't know, okay?
-[gasps]
Come on, don't be like that. Tell us.
-You don't get it?
-What?
You'll get it if you listen to my song.
No shoving please!
It's for your own safety! Hey! You there!
[fans] Wow, so handsome! [squeal]
-[security] Stop!
-[panting]
[grunts]
Hello, pretty lady.
-Thanks.
-[gasps]
Madam Mayor, these are for you.
What the hell is all this mail?
Complaints from the citizens.
[sighs]
Just send them all to Max or something.
But we still haven't been able to
establish communication with Battle 7.
-I know that!
-[gasps] Right.
Hey! What is the meaning of this?
-[hammers cock]
-Stop! What are you trying to do?
Move, Michael.
No matter how thick your body is,
at this range the shots will still hit me.
Yes, Ma'am.
So, how may I help you?
Stop it!
This city office is completely
under our control!
What are you after?
Knock off the chatter.
That was brash. Do you plan
to start a revolution or something?
Silence!
We will no longer support
an incompetent mayor like you!
[chuckles] I will not be criticized
by incompetent citizens.
Shut up, you!
We have risen to save City 7!
[sighs] Well, please do!
[gunshot]
I told you to shut up.
You nattering old lady!
[Milia] Who are you calling old?
-[sirens wailing]
-[helicopter whirring]
Everyone will be in place in 20 minutes.
All right, thanks.
-Might as well give it a try.
-Yeah.
We have you surrounded!
Stop this pointless resistance
and come out!
[pedestrian] Oh, my God!
[reporter] A group of armed terrorists
have barricaded themselves
inside the city office.
They are unresponsive
to the police's attempts to negotiate.
They have taken Mayor Milia hostage, and
her current safety is of great concern.
[Mylene] Mom's a hostage?
[whistle blows]
Hey! You can't come in here!
You! How many hostiles
are holed up inside?
And who the hell are you?
I'm Lt. Gamlin of Diamond Force.
I would like details on the situation.
[gasps] Yes, sir! My apologies.
But this is our jurisdiction. So
No, we're more experienced
in these sorts of thing.
Besides, I was charged by Captain Max
to guard Mayor Milia.
Really?
Yes, really!
Gamlin's the elitest of the elite.
Right?
All right, step this way, please.
[officer] According to the sensors,
all citizens and staff have evacuated
from the building.
The mayor is in her office
on the top floor,
taken hostage by five terrorists.
They also have three-man cells
guarding each hall,
elevator, and stairway to that floor,
making it hard for us to get close.
So about 40 hostiles in total.
That's like a platoon.
Fast-acting tranquilizer rounds, huh?
Well, the snipers and the breach team
will be in place shortly.
Shouldn't we wait for them?
Storming the office in force
will only endanger the mayor.
I can handle this on my own.
Gamlin, I want to
You stay here, Miss Mylene.
Don't worry,
I promise I'll save the mayor.
But she's my Mom.
Then make me a cup of coffee
for when I come back.
[classical music playing
through speakers]
[rapid beeping]
[beeping stops]
Trap wires. These guys are pros.
[phone ringing]
What? Okay. Be on the lookout.
[leader] What is it?
Someone sprung the trap
on the first floor.
I told them to go check it out.
I see. If something's up, you're dead.
[insurgent] An ashtray?
We got ourselves an intruder.
Stay alert. We don't know
where he might be hiding.
I'm here!
[screams]
[both grunt]
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps]
Miss Mylene!
[sighs] Gosh, you scared me!
You're the one who scared me!
[elevator bell dings]
Just come with me, Miss Mylene.
[sighs]
Why didn't you wait for me outside?
Well,
I forgot to ask if you'd like sugar
and cream with your coffee.
I guess you'll have to come with me.
Remember, stay next to me.
Okay!
[all] Huh?
[scream]
-Miss Mylene!
-[grunts]
Gamlin, why didn't you go
straight to the top floor?
The surveillance room is on this floor.
We have to take that out first.
[grunting]
-[alarm blaring]
-[Mylene whimpers]
All right, let's go save the mayor.
Don't worry, Sivil. I'm here to save you.
Attention all troops! We will be attacking
the samples' residential module shortly.
If their forces try to stop us,
deal with them at your own discretion!
It's no use,
the surveillance room isn't responding.
It seems we have a rat
running around loose.
I wouldn't know anything about that.
-[alarm blaring]
-[Milia gasps]
Don't move!
This is not the time!
You dare keep me from my work?
I'm a very busy woman, you know?
Shut up!
I was foolish to feel at ease
just because a Zentradi is mayor!
Well, I'm greatly disappointed
for having Zentradi citizens like you!
-Let's go!
-[both gasp, exclaim]
-Mr. Basara, are you going out there?
-Do you need to ask?
Then you must let us come with you!
-Whatever, man!
-[crew] Come on, we gotta film this!
-An enemy raid at a time like this
-[alarm continues]
No, this actually works in our favor.
This attack really helps
with our current situation.
-Hey!
-[gasp]
Wow!
You see? They're all distracted now.
[officer, on radio] Sniper team, come in!
What's the matter? Come in!
Give me your status! Respond!
I repeat, come in, sniper team.
Spiritia Colony.
Come on!
Listen to the real Fire Bomber sound!
["MY SOUL FOR YOU" playing]
There you are, Spiritia Anomaly Code C.
Before I save Sivil,
I'm going to take your Spiritia!

[reporter, on TV]
Mr. Basara has gone out to face the enemy!
Let's hope he does well!
[whispers] It's now or never.
[breathes heavily]
Who the hell are you?
-What?
-[grunts, exclaims]
[shrieks]
[groans]
[whimpers]
[Milia] What is this feeling?
This boiling in my blood!

If you look closely,
you will see that it has no stamen.

almost identical to Earth's carnations.

one must marvel at how grand it is.
Her!

Mom!
Get back!

It's no use. Guns won't work on her.

Well, that may end up being true.
Gosh, what a day.
I'll take it black, please.
What?
I'll just have a black coffee.
Roger!
In every one of those accidents
there was someone
with Zentradi blood involved.
Same as the terrorist incident.
And though I'm not exactly sure,
I think I know why.
Because I'm also Zentradi.
