[people chattering]
-[fan 1] What the hell, man?
-[fan 2] Why's it canceled?
[fan 3] I can't believe this.
[fan 4]
Why is the Fire Bomber concert canceled?
Give us an explanation!
[sighs]
[rock music playing]
A NIGHT FOR TWO
[all gasp]
[reporter 1] They're here!
Keep up!
[reporter 2]
Is it true that Basara's missing?
[Ray] What? Kinda.
And Mylene is missing too, right?
Well, I guess.
-Ray, what are you doing?
-[clamors]
[reporter 3] Excuse me,
but is Fire Bomber breaking up?
Fire Bomber will not break up.
[reporter 5] What's the relationship
between Basara and Mylene?
-What? [grunts]
-Ray!
Whenever I come here I'm reminded ♪
Hey, take a look at this!
What? Is this really true?
So, they really were a couple.
That was my theory, too.
The captain must be so worried.
-Maybe he actually approves of it.
-[machine clatters]
[both] Captain!
[Miho grunts]
What?
[both breathe shakily]
What are you trying to do?
What? What do you mean?
I mean aren't you being
a bit irresponsible as a mother?
She'll be fine.
I've sent Gamlin to be her escort.
Regardless, you need to
take better care of her.
-Sure, sure.
-[call ends]
[sighs]
[whispering] They even have photos.
Sorry about this whole thing.
It's okay, you're missing
your two lead vocalists, anyway.
I'll just say
they're on hiatus to recharge.
Well, I figure they'll have matured
a bit by the time they get back.
It wouldn't do otherwise.
Hmm.
Shame on them! What were
they thinking at a time like this?
We shouldn't have relied on riffraff
like Fire Bomber to begin with.
With a suspicious character like
Basara Nekki, this was bound to happen.
But as of now, Basara Nekki's music
is the only thing effective
against the Protodeviln.
We have the Jamming Birds.
They've come a long way with their
training, and are almost combat ready.
I promise that they will deliver results.
By my estimation, they're not ready yet.
-I cannot authorize it.
-Sir!
But Battle 7 is more than 80% repaired.
We should be able to escape
if there's an emergency.
What do we do
if the Protodeviln attack before that?
-Well
-[Exsedol] We'd be helpless.
It is indeed hard to feel at ease
without Sound Force.

-Well? Find anything?
-No.
The Song Energy Detector Chiba gave me
-has a single flaw.
-A flaw?
If the target isn't singing,
it can't detect them.
[laughs] Oh, right, of course.
Looks like Gubaba's
not picking up anything, either.
So Basara's still not singing.
-Miss Mylene.
-What?
Shouldn't we go back first
before starting the search?
The mayor was really worried.
It'll be okay.
How about you, Gamlin? Is being here okay?
-What?
-Your job!
[stammers]
It's all right. I quit the military.
What? Why?
How should I put it?
I don't know what the military is anymore.
What? The military's the military, right?
No, like I said, I don't know why.
Oh, come on, what's so hard to understand?
The answer is simple.
You're just over-thinking it.
Basara, too. What's he looking for?
How did this happen?
What can't you guys understand?
What? It's just
Then why do you sing, Miss Mylene?
That's simple.
Because it makes people happy.
-I see.
-Huh?
Maybe he's searching for a reason
other than that.
-Huh?
-Basara is
What do you mean?
How do I say this?
Um It's hard to put into words.
Oh, I get it.
You're taking Basara's side, is that it?
What? [stuttering] Oh, no, like I said
Oh, jeez!
Where the heck is Basara?
[voice] Our forces are still
surrounding the samples
outside their scouting perimeter.
-Good.
-Investigations show
the compatibility level of the samples
to planet GGT is 9286.
Planet GGT most certainly
is the Spiritia Farm of my dreams.
[chuckles]
Spiritia is infinite.
The time has come for us
to execute Spiritia Dreaming.
[mews]
Miss Mylene, we should get going.
Oh, okay!
But, Gubaba's not back yet.
Gubaba's not under your hair?
No, he went to get a drink of water
just now.
[grunts]
Gamlin?
Gubaba? Gubaba?
Where are you, Gubaba?
Are you hiding, Gubaba? Come on out.
Gubaba, we have to go.
Gubaba.
Jeez, where'd he go?
What do we do, Gamlin?
-You were careless!
-Huh?
In a foreign habitat like this,
Gubaba is easy prey!
It's your responsibility
to keep Gubaba safe, isn't it?
You're free to chase after Basara all you
want, but you can't forget your duty!
I'm sorry.
There's no point in apologizing to me.
This is the first time
you've ever been mad at me.
Oh, I
Sorry, was I too harsh?
No, it's okay.
I was in the wrong.
It's good you pointed that out.
Guess I was feeling on edge.
So, Gubaba may have gone off
to look for Basara on his own.
[mews]
[Mylene] Gubaba? Gubaba?
Gubaba?
-Gubaba!
-[Mylene] Gubaba?
-[Gamlin] Gubaba!
-Gubaba!
Wait. Miss Mylene,
don't you and Gubaba have
some kind of telepathic link?
I remember when you were kidnapped,
Gubaba was able to
Yes, sometimes I can feel him,
but I think it only works
when Gubaba sends me a signal.
-[creature howls]
-[both gasp]
What was that?
I don't know.
Whoa!
Ouch.
Are you all right?
[groans] What is this?
I-It's
-a footprint!
-Footprint?
It must be a very large creature.
What do we do?
-[birds squawking]
-[shrieks]
[sighs]
Whoa, that startled me.
[stammering]
[sighs]
Are you all right?
We've walked quite a bit, so
Oh, I'm fine.
Sorry I don't have anything better to eat.
It's pretty good!
So, you said Gubaba's from
the Pukilases system, right?
-Yeah.
-And Captain Max found him?
Yeah.
I was about five years old then.
Dad was investigating the system,
and he found Gubaba injured.
Gubaba was separated from his kind,
so Dad took him in!
Gubaba had trouble adjusting to his new
home, though. Even after he healed up.
But, I kept him company the whole time!
And before we knew it, we were friends.
We do everything together.
So, he's like another me.
Then maybe you can reach
him if you sing, Miss Mylene.

-[music stops]
-Miss Mylene, the tent is ready.
Thank you.
[stammers] It's military issue,
so there's only one sleeping bag.
[grunts] No problem.
Let's get some sleep, Gamlin.
Oh, right. Well
One, two
What are you doing all of a sudden?
Nothing. Don't mind me.
This is my daily routine.
-Hey, Gamlin?
-Yes?
Weren't you doing that just a moment ago?
What?
[footsteps thud]
[growling]
[sighs]
[grunts]
M-Miss Mylene, you're
[exclaims, groans]
-Huh?
-[straining] Oh, sorry.
What is it?
[stammers] No, nothing.
What?
Oh! I forgot to do crunches, so
121, 122,
-123
-[creature howling]
-[rumbles]
-[gasps]
What's that?
-[howling continues]
-[objects clattering]
-Miss Mylene, let's get outside!
-Right!
[Gamlin grunts]
[roars]
-[stammers] What is that?
-Run!
[howling]
-[sighs]
-[footsteps departing]
Looks like camping isn't safe.
Yeah. Let's sleep in our Valkyries, then.
What? Right.
[mewing]
[Gamlin] Miss Mylene, are you getting
any telepathy from Gubaba?
No, not yet.
I see.
-By the way, Gamlin.
-Yes?
I've always wondered about this.
You always call me "Miss", right?
Oh. I do.
Why?
-What?
-Basara and Ray just call me by name,
so it feels weird being called "Miss."
From now on, just call me Mylene!
[stammering] What? All right.
[rock music playing]
Don't phone it in
just 'cause it's an exercise!
We're doing it for the cuties, you hear?
Let's go!
Hey, whenever I'm in trouble ♪
You always know
Even if you're far away ♪
[screams]
-Stop flinching! That was nothing! Sing!
-Y-Yes, sir!
There are mysterious signs ♪
[Ripple screams]
-[Bobby] J3, louder!
-Yes, sir!
[Bobby] What are you doing? We're supposed
to be training! Let's go again!
I wonder why the Protodeviln
don't just destroy us all.
-[bandmates] Roger!
-[Bobby] Not loud enough!
That won't reach the enemy!
[Exsedol] It's very odd. And why is
Basara's singing effective against them?
-[Bobby] Do you wanna get killed? Sing!
-I couldn't say.
Where could Basara be wandering about
right now?
-[Ripple] J2, fall back to point AE-1!
-[grunts]
[mewing]
[guitar playing in distance]
[mews]
-[squeals]
-[guitar continues playing]
[mews]
Gubaba?
[Gamlin] What is it?
[Mylene] I felt Gubaba!
[Gamlin] Did he find Basara?
Huh? Yeah, I think so.
-[mews]
-[guitar continues playing]
What? Gubaba!
[Gamlin] Something wrong?
He's coming back!
[mews]
[creature growling]
[roars]
[mews]
Gubaba? Gubaba!
Let's hurry!
[growling]
[squeaks, mews]
[roars]
[roaring]
Gubaba!
[mews]
Gubaba, you're not hurt?
[mewing]
[roars]
-[sighs]
-[footsteps departing]
Don't you ever wander off like that again.
[mews]
It's Basara, right?
-[creature roars]
-[mews]
[footsteps approaching]
[exclaims]
[gasps]
Miss Mylene!
-[roars]
-[shouts]
[beeping]
[straining]
[stammers] Hey!
Miss Mylene, back away from it!
Hey, t-time out!
Miss Mylene!
You're headed for a waterfall!
But I don't know what to do!
[shouting] Jeez!
[beeping]
-All right!
-[Basara] Stop!
[stammers] Basara!
[Basara] That's not an enemy. It's just
a life form native to this planet.
-It's not dangerous!
-B-But, Miss Mylene!
It's just in a frenzy because
it's worried about its young!
So, it's a parent and child.
Please! Don't be so angry!
We were frightened too, so
Listen to me, please!
Miss Mylene, sing!
[gasps]
[Gamlin]
Singing might convey your feelings to it.

When they see a fire, those creatures
come and stamp it out.
They get really worked up.
But most of the time, they're tame.
Basara.
I can't believe this. Have you even
apologized to Gubaba?
I get it, okay?
What do you mean, "I get it"?
None of your business!
It's all your fault
that we're here in the first place!
-What?
-Okay, calm down.
Basara, can you come back
with us? For the sake of City 7?
You know what, Basara?
I kinda understand
what you're looking for.
The creature back there,
it calmed down when I sang to it.
That's the power of music, right?
It was a very nice performance.
[sighs]
Basara! What are you going to do?
I dunno!
Miss Mylene, let's go after him.
I told you not to call me "Miss."
I'm sorry, but I think I'll call you by
name when it comes to me naturally.
