[narrator] Macross 7 is
a giant emigration fleet
traveling the galaxy
in search of a habitable planet.
CITY 7
It has a combined population of a million
civilians and U.N. Spacy personnel.
BATTLE 7
But the universe
is an unpredictable place,
and seven years after leaving Earth,
Macross 7 was attacked by a mysterious
enemy called the Protodeviln.
GEPELNITCHI
CAPT. GAMLIN KIZAKI
After suffering heavy damage, Macross 7
was forced to land on Planet Lux.
FLEET COMMANDER
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
Fortunately, the planet was habitable,
but this does not change the fact
PLANET LUX
that they are now vulnerable
to the enemy.
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
In the middle of the
seemingly endless fighting
FIRE VALKYRIE
is a rock singer who continues to sing.
SPEAKER POD
His name is Basara Nekki.
Even when attacked during combat,
he only dodges.
And instead of fighting back, he sings.
Even though he is understood
by neither friend nor foe
GIGIL - SIVIL
people started to realize
that his songs have great power,
and so, U.N. Spacy decided
to create Sound Force.
SOUND FORCE
SOUND FORCE ADVISER, DR. CHIBA
Now Basara Nekki is free
to sing, even in battle.
SOUND ENERGY CONVERSION UNI
However
To think we need to use
our newly harvested Spiritia
for something like this.
Gavil, rise!
Who are you?
It is I.
I reside in this man's body now.
Lord Gepelnitchi.
This is most unfortunate.
Glavil has awakened.
Glavil has?
That's why you resurrected
me before yourself.
Just leave Glavil to me, my lord.
NEW SOUND WEAPON
We finally made it this far, Doctor.
Yes.
But these test results
aren't fit for actual combat.
In order to weaponize this,
we need over 100,000 Chibasongs
of song energy.
It's a lot, I know.
-But
-[Barton] Lt. Chiba.
Looks like you finally finished the
Sound Boosters for the Valkyries.
No, these are still in
the developmental stage.
You can test and modify them
while using them in combat.
Right now, Sound Force
is the team most capable of combating
that Protodeviln monster effectively.
There is no time to spare!
Equip them to the Valkyries immediately!
Oh!
Yes, sir.
It starts to spin in the air
That FANTASY ♪

What?

We've no idea when that
monster will be back again!
So, we gotta practice as hard as we can!
Sorry, man. Gonna take a pass on this one.
Basara!
He's such a pain.
I'm actually really scared
of that monster, you know.
But still, I fight hard.
[door closes]
Oh, thank you.
Wow, I'm really getting
famous now, aren't I?
They're
not for me?
[Ray] May I help you?
Oh, no I'm just
I have good news for you all.
And that is?
We've prepared Sound Boosters for you
that can amplify your song energy.
Amplify?
[Chiba] Yes. I'd like to take your
Valkyries back with me to set them up.
Well, the two of us are fine with it,
-but you know
-Yeah.
[Barton] Is there a problem?
If you mess with you-know-who's
Valkyrie, he'll throw a fit.
A fit?

Emerald Force take down the bandit!
No! We have to rescue Basara first!
Damn them.
D1 to E1!
Docker! Dome airspace is
Diamond Force jurisdiction!
Return to base now!
You kiddin' me?
That's just an excuse to
hog all the glory yourself!
That's preposterous.
Gamlin, I'll be the one to avenge
Commander Kinryu's death!
Wait! Docker!
I'm not giving up the Anima Spiritia!
Sivil! I give this to you!
Ouch.
Damn it, this just isn't my day!
Where am I?
This feeling Can it be?
Every Sound Booster can actually
be controlled by Unit 3 here,
so fire them up when
the power goes past critical.
[Ray] Got it!
He could've explained that
after coming down.
For sure.
What do you think is going on with Basara?
[Morry] Commander.
We couldn't find Basara Nekki.
I see.
Basara,
you're not one to be killed like this.

Good, Glavil! You're full
of momentous beauty!
So those are the beings

That is beauty! Utmost beauty.
They want us out there.
