MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] After setting off into the
galaxy in search of a habitable planet
STEALTH VALKYRIE
BLAZER VALKYRIE
the emigration fleet, Macross 7,
was attacked by a mysterious enemy
FULL ARMORED VF-11
BATTLE 7
called the Protodeviln, resulting in
an emergency landing on Planet Lux.
This enemy inflicted some damage,
but their main goal
GEPELNITCHI'S SHIP
is to absorb a type of spiritual energy
called Spiritia from humans.
That is why they never
try to actually destroy the fleet.
The enemy's commander is
a man called Gepelnitchi
GEPELNITCHI
but his form is merely an avatar.
4TH PLANET OF THE VARAUTA SYSTEM
His real body seems to be sleeping on
a planet at the galaxy's edge, Varauta IV.
And now the Protodeviln are being awakened
from that planet, one after the other,
plunging the fleet into terror
with their fearsome power.
GLAVIL
But during all this,
Sivil went on a rampage,
ignoring Gepelnitchi's plans.
GAVIL
Now she is flying as she sleeps.
VALGO
ELGERSOLN
Meanwhile Gigil, who had remained
reluctantly obedient to Gepelnitchi,
has begun chasing after Sivil,
neglecting his mission.
GIGIL
This is what is irritating Gepelnitchi.
But this is all unbeknownst to
the people of Macross 7

Sorry.
-Hey, Ray
-[Ray] Huh?
Basara's coming, right?
What?
To the concert!
Well, not really sure this time.
Come on! He can be
unapologetically late sometimes,
but he's never skipped a show!
Well, yeah.
So, he's coming, right?
Because that's how he is.
Basara will be back, Mylene,
you can bet on it.
If he's found his reason to sing,
he'll come right now.
Right now?
What? Well
I don't think he'll make it today.
Hey, Mylene
THE DAY GIGIL SANG
[Basara] In the end,
I wasn't able to wake her up.
[rock music playing]
[fan 1] Hurry!
[fan 2] Yay! Yay!

[fan 3] Hey! Hey!
All right guys, here we are!
-Go get 'em, Mylene.

Sivil, where are you trying to go?
No, that doesn't matter!
I'll follow you, wherever you lead!
[Valgo] This planet is already ours.
This is conquest beauty!
Not yet.
There are those who still defy me.
[Valgo grunts]
A caprice of chance
after 500,000 cycles of time
has caused an unwelcome
meddler to be awakened.
-[Gavil] Who?
-Sivil.
Her awakening would be
an obstacle to my dream.
Lord Gepelnitchi, with your permission,
I'll dispose of her.
Very well, go with Valgo.
No, I can do it alone.
One flower by itself is true beauty.
I do not need the company
of a withered old tree.
[grunts] You talk in jest.
I'm not so eager to mind
a piece of dead weight like you, either.
[Gavil]
No, you are the ultimate hindrance!
The state Sivil is in
is more than just sleep.
We cannot afford to let her wake!
Milord!
Very well.
If my lord demands it, I will turn
a blind eye to Gavil's ignorance.
-Why, you

She's at her limit.
What? Who is?
Mylene.
Oh, come on, Mylene's in the zone today.
Besides, she's not even halfway
through her repertoire.
[chuckles]
I bet your romantic relationships
don't last long, do they?
What? Why do you say that?
Because you don't understand women.
Thanks, everyone!
Let's do "REMEMBER 16"!
[groans]
Veffidas
[Ray] Mylene!
You did well.
But we're wrapping it up for today.
Why? I can keep going.
I'll sing until Basara comes back!
-[Veffidas] Basara's not coming back.
-[Gubaba mews]
Not until he finds something.
So, now it's your turn.
You've been itching
to go look for Basara, right?
Ray

[fans] Bomber! Bomber!
Do the last song from your Valkyrie, okay?

[roars]
That's it, Glavil.
Suck all the Spiritia from her.
Show her the never-waking
beauty of eternal sleep!
I see. Sivil
She's overflowing with Spiritia.
How absurd of her.
Go, my minions!
[roars]
Glavil!
Valgo! What are you doing?
[Valgo] Isn't it obvious?
So, you want to get in my way.
You won't get away with this!
Inexperienced oaf!
Stop spewing nonsense!
You're the one hindering me!
[Gavil] Silence!
Get your minions off Glavil now,
or else!
Or else what?
You're a fool to point your weapon at me.
I will obliterate all of you together!
[Gavil] It was a mistake to
revive you in the first place
[roaring]
Sivil's
Who did that?
Nobody's taking Sivil!
[Valgo] Gigil!
[exclaims]
[soldier] Open up!
Mayor Milia.
[Milia] You stay outside.
I want to talk to him in private.
[soldier grunts]
So, Gamlin, how are you
faring in a place like this?
Hard to get used to for an elite?
It's a fitting place for repenting.
Repenting, huh?
Were you really?
I punched Colonel Barton.
As a soldier, using violence
on a superior officer is
"Unacceptable," right?
All things considered, it was a careless
act that could've gotten you demoted.
Yes.
But, if you hadn't had done it,
I would've punched him myself.
Mayor Milia.
Thank you, Gamlin. You have my gratitude.
It's nothing.
Anyway, you're being released.
From now on, I have sole custody of you.
If you want,
you can go on leave for a while.
[gasps] Mayor Milia
Here.
You're resigning?
Yes, ma'am.
All right.
I hereby relieve you of your duty
as commander of Diamond Force.
Thank you, ma'am.
That's a habit of yours, isn't it?
It'll be hard to break, you know?
[grunts] Duly noted, ma'am.
Say, Gamlin, you just quit the military,
but you have no plans beyond that, right?
Well
Well, my daughter Mylene just
ran off to go look for Basara.
What am I to do with her?
Miss Mylene ran off?
On an uncharted planet like this?
And who knows when the enemy will attack!
So, about your severance package
Ma'am, this seems hardly the time
Will a VF-17S Valkyrie suffice?
Huh?
Where are you, Basara?
[guitar playing]
Get lost, you bugs!
How dare you harm my minions!
I don't care who you are,
I won't let anyone touch Sivil.
I'm going to
I'm going to protect Sivil!
[Gavil] Glavil, let's not bother.
I sense a beauty in Gigil's current form.
It's the beauty of devotion.
We'll go after Sivil instead.
What? Not on my watch!
I was willing to let you be,
and this is how you repay me?
Go to hell!
[guitar continues]
[Gavil] Glavil, go get Sivil!
I'll take care of this traitor!
[Gigil] No, you don't!
You're the one who won't go anywhere!
Outta my way!
I've got no time to play!
[stammers] Damn it!
Are you prepared to die, Gigil?
[grunts]

Sivil

What do we have here?
So, this is why Glavil
didn't go after Sivil.
It's you, Anima Spiritia!
You can be my solace
for losing track of Sivil.
Snatching you would be captive beauty!
[Glavil roars]
[grunts]
[Gavil] Pathetic.
What's wrong with you?
Where's your Anima Spiritia?
Did you forget it somewhere?
[roars]
You think so too, Glavil?
Basara!
Mylene!

Futile.

-What the hell are you doing here?
Basara,

-What?
I apologize!
[Basara] About what?
Just let me say sorry, okay?
I've been wanting to apologize!
Man, you've come
