MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] Macross 7 is a giant
emigration fleet traveling the galaxy
in search of a habitable planet.
RESORT SHIP RIVIERA
AMUSEMENT SHIP HOLLYWOOD
The fleet has
seven large residential ships
METROPOLIS SHIP CITY 7
with cityscapes inside where people can
live the way they did on Earth.
BATTLE 7
CITY 7
To ensure their safety, there are
large battleships attached to each ship
CPT. GAMLIN KIZAKI
and even more warships
forming a perimeter around them.
CPT. KINRYU
But seven years after leaving Earth,
they were attacked by a mysterious enemy
GEPELNITCHI
and Macross 7 must fight
this unknown force as casualties pile up.
CAPTAIN OF BATTLE 7,
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
Meanwhile, Macross 5,
another fleet traveling the galaxy
MACROSS 5 FLEE
has found a potentially habitable planet,
and have named it "Planet Lux."
But they've not been heard from
since landing on the surface.
PLANET LUX
DEADLY BATTLE AT PLANET LUX
Macross 7 has now reached
Planet Lux's orbit.
According to Macross 5,
the fleet that arrived here first,
Lux is environmentally
very similar to Earth.
The people are very excited about reveling
in nature again after their long voyage,
but the military has prohibited them
from leaving their ship
-Basara, where are you going?
-[Basara] I'll be right back.
You'll be right back?
Don't tell me you're going to that planet.
Of course I am.
It's right in front of our noses.
Gotta see what it's like for myself.
Whoa, Basara!
We're prohibited from leaving the ship!
[Basara] I get it!
[Ray] No, you don't!
-Mylene?
-[Mylene] I'll be back soon!
Damn it.
What are you doing?
You don't have to follow me!
I'm not following you.
I'm going because I want to go.
You're the one who's in front of me
for no reason. Outta my way!
Knock off the smart talk!
Having you tagging along back there
will just cramp my style!
[Mylene] Well, too bad!
This is Macross 7, please respond.
Captain, Macross 5
is still not responding.
We cannot reach them.
Send a team to investigate.
Order Emerald Force to deploy.
Yes, sir.
-What?
-What?
We got an identification signal.
It's Basara and Mylene from Sound Force.
Wait, nobody's supposed to
leave their ship. This is bad, right?
I think so too. And Sound Force is
under military supervision, remember?
They should really be
court-martialed for this.
-Captain!
-Captain!
[sighs]
[rock music playing]
Don't worry about me,
Gamlin. See? [grunts]
Commander Kinryu,
you mustn't push yourself.
But by the looks of it,
you'll be back in no time.
Yeah, I'll be back sooner than later.
We ain't losing
to Docker's stupid Emerald Force.
Yes, sir! I'll be waiting
for your speedy return!
Well, then there might be
some kind of mission when we land, so
-Gamlin!
-Yes, sir.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Commander.
[Miho] Hey, you think bringing fruit
was the right choice?
Yes. He said he likes pineapple salad.
Oh, hello.
-[gasps]
-[door opens]
[Chiba] Visiting today as well?
Every day. So conscientious.
Chiba, when will Commander Kinryu
be able to leave the hospital?
Not soon.
But it's only a matter of time.
[sighs] Really? It's all thanks to you.
No, I just lent a helping hand.
We have Fire Bomber's music to thank
for Capt. Kinryu's recovery.
Basara's music?
[device beeping]
Gamlin here.
[caller] Commander Gamlin, Mayor's orders.
You're to head to Planet Lux immediately.
What?
[caller] To secure civilians.
Basara and Mylene of Sound Force
have left the ship against orders.
I'll be right there.
[whoops]
Beautiful.
-What?
-What's going on?
[waves lapping]
[birds chirping]
What the hell is this?
What happened? [inhales sharply]
-[whimpers]
-You okay?
Tell me.
What happened here? [breathes shakily]
Please.
You wait. I'm going inside for a look.
[pilot 1] E3 to E1. Macross 5 is
[pilot 2] Commander, you seeing this?
-Commander!
-Keep it together!
What? They were wiped out?
You're saying there are no survivors?
Yes. Can't really say for sure
without going inside to investigate.
But from the looks of it,
they're all dead.
[Exsedol] Is this also the work
of the Protodeviln?
[groans]
Commander Docker, over there.
Sound Force's Valkyries.
It's Mylene.
What? I'll take her into custody.
Wait. First, let's go after the other one
that went inside that ship.
-[pilot 1] Roger.
-[pilot 2] Roger.
[pilot 1] You there, in the Valkyrie!
Return to the ship!
[pilot 2] Return to the fleet immediately!
Stop! Or I'll shoot!
Save that for later. Look!
Doesn't this look weird?
I'm talking about the crew count.
The crew count?
I don't know how many
crew members this ship had,
but don't you think
there should be way more bodies?
You've got a point.
Miss Mylene.
Are you all right?
Gamlin. [breathes shakily]
-[cries]
-[grunts]
Miss Mylene.
[crying]
[pilot 1] Commander,
the city section's gone.
[pilot 2] What do you think happened?
The only answer I can think of
is they were taken captive.
I figured that as well.
Maybe the crew of Macross 5
was brainwashed like that Illyna Hayakawa.
They might be acting as
the enemy's soldiers somewhere right now.
[Exsedol] This place is dangerous.
We should leave immediately.
We are here for Basara Nekki
and Mylene Jenius, by the mayor's request.
We will take them back with us!
They came here
without the military's permission.
Under the captain's orders,
we will take them into custody!
They are civilian citizens of the city.
Diamond Force will hold on to them.
Sound Force is under military supervision.
Emerald Force will take them back!
Why are they arguing?
This is stupid.
Mylene, let's get outta here.
What?
-Miss Mylene!
-Miss Mylene!
Damn it, man.
What a waste of beautiful scenery.
[sighs]
-Hey, Mylene, look at that!
-[birds chirping]
That's one big flock of birds!
[breathes shakily]
-[alarm blaring]
-Captain, close-range defold detected!
[Max] What?
[vessel zaps]
The dream is dancing
in the palm of my hand.
Force them to that planet's surface!
[alarm blares]
-Madam Mayor! The enemy!
-What?
-[explosion]
-[all scream, grunt]
[rumbling]
[grunts]
What's happening?
-[alarm blaring]
-All ships, launch Valkyries!
Vanguard ships, prepare to fire!
Recall Emerald Force
and Diamond Force, on the double!
Captain, Diamond Force answers directly
to the mayor. We need her permission
This is an emergency! I'll call her later.
[system chimes]
My name is Gepelnitchi.
Gepelnitchi?
[Exsedol] Protodeviln!
-[gasps]
-[explosion in distance]
After a 500,000 year cycle,
across millennia,
I now find the fulfillment of my dream.
Samples, you shall become
dewdrops of my dream.
What the hell?
-[alarm blaring]
-My name is Gepelnitchi.
[gasps]
[siren blaring]
Basara! It's go time!
-[rock music playing]
-Got it! Mylene!
Mylene, let's go!
I won't back down.
I won't let them do to us
what they did to Macross 5!
Engage emergency separation!
-Begin transformation once we're clear!
-[Miho] Yes, sir!
