MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] After leaving Earth,
the Macross 7 emigration fleet
was attacked
GIGIL
by a mysterious enemy in deep space
called the Protodeviln
GIGIL
BATTLE 7
resulting in an emergency
landing on Planet Lux.
PLANET LUX
FIRE VALKYRIE
Amidst the seemingly endless fighting,
there is a rock singer
who continues to sing.
BASARA NEKKI
His name is Basara Nekki.
Even when attacked during combat,
he only dodges.
And instead of fighting back, he sings.
SPIRITIA GAUGE
SIVIL
Even though he is understood
by neither friend nor foe
GEPELNITCHI
people started to realize
that his songs have great power
CAPT. GAMLIN KIZAKI
and so, U.N. Spacy decided
to create Sound Force.
SOUND FORCE
But even though he repelled the enemy
many times, he was unsatisfied.
And for the first time in his life,
he questioned his reason for singing.
Seeking answers, he set off
into the wilds of Lux.
[soldier] All ships are in position.
This completes our blockade of Planet Lux.
I am concerned.
What is it, Lord Gepelnitchi?
I am concerned.
Something is about to happen
with Gigil and Sivil.
Could this also be caused
by Anima Spiritia?
I am concerned.
MEN'S BLAZING SONG
[presenter, on radio] Man, oh man,
ain't this demoralizing!
The streets are pretty empty at this hour.
Everybody's left me and gone home.
But I haven't! I keep going!
This is the weekly City 7 countdown
based on the sales chart over at Disc 7.
We're in the final stretch!

Oh man, number two again!
They can't get to the top,

[presenter] For the tenth week in a row,
Fire Bomber at number two!
Where are you going, Basara?

-What? What's going on?
-Basara took off again.

What? Took off?
Wait! Again?

[Barton] Sing louder!
[recruits, singing] I'm in trouble ♪
[panting]
You always know
Even if you're far away ♪
Get it together!
You can't defeat the Protodeviln
singing like that!
If I knew it'd be like this,
I wish I'd never been scouted.
Wanna hear something worse?
I saw them recruiting for extra
members, and I volunteered!
I was so stupid.
What? That sucks!
-You there! Rookies!
-[singing continues]
Stop the chattering and start singing!
Yes, sir.
You need something to obsess over ♪
To the point that you forget
All about me ♪
[no audible dialogue]
Barton, some people
are just not suited for combat.
Not that fighting suits
Mylene or Basara Nekki, either.
[phone ringing]
[presenter] even though their concert
was abruptly canceled.
-Hello?
-[presenter] They're piping hot right now!
Captain? What's going on?
[presenter] Come on, go!
Looks like they made it!
Mylene?
I don't think I have anything new
to report.
But there's still hope.

What is that?

Whatever.
Looks like fun. Let's go!

Damn it! What the hell is this?

An island.
Sivil!
Sivil, I'm coming!
[gasps]
[exclaims]
[exhales]
-[Gigil] So, you're here, too.
-[gasps]
You!
Gamlin, did you pick up anything?
Nothing's showing up on radar,
and I got no response on radio.
No signal on the Song Energy Detector,
either.
It'd be easy to find Basara
if he'd sing, but
[sighs] Seriously,
he's nothing but trouble.
[Gamlin, on radio] Miss Mylene, this time
let's split up and look for him.
Got it.
Sivil
I'm coming, Sivil!
Son of a
What, again?
There are energy faults
in this airspace, dumbass.
You can't fly up there.
Ouch
Damn, he noticed.
What are you doing, man?
I'll just have to climb from here.
Hold on, Sivil.
I'm coming to save you.
Without realizing it ♪
I'm always looking for you ♪
I can't get used to the things you like
But, OH YEAH ♪
-Miss Mylene.
-Yes?
Well
The detector is picking up your singing,
so until we find Basara
Sorry!
[screams]
[chuckles]
[scoffs] What an idiot!
[growls]
Why am I
Why am I doing this?
What reason do I have?
[no audible dialogue]
What's happened to me?
This ain't nothing.
Damn it! It won't move.
What's this?
You clumsy ass!
Stop causing me problems!
You
Why did you save me?
Hey! You listening to me?
Why did you save me?
Shut up! I didn't save you.
I'm using you to awaken Sivil!
Don't worry.
I'll kill you when I'm done with you.
Awaken?
That's nonsense. You already woke her.
[Gigil] You idiot. Sivil isn't awake yet.
[gasps]
What are you doing?
Just go already!
[scoffs] Stay outta my way!
Wait! Why aren't you singing?
Usually you'd be singing by now.
None of your business!
I sing when I want to!
Anything?
Nothing at all.
What do we do?
Let's search a little longer, okay?
All right.
[Gamlin] Basara Nekki,
did you really forget about your music?
Unbelievable.
Basara, what the heck are you doing?
Hey, your machine can't take
any more of this climbing.
Let's go through this cave.
Don't tell me what to do!
-[Basara] Come on, this way.
-Shut it!
You're in my way!
[mechanical footsteps approaching]
-What?
-Oh, crap!
[yells]
Hey! I
What are you trying to do?
It's not working. It won't respond!
[groans, screams]
Don't panic!
We'll fall!
I don't want to fall in
while holding hands with you!
[screams]
Enough is enough!
Damn it, you're such an idiot!
[scoffs] If you want to die, be my guest!
Sing your last song and die!
Shut up!
[scoffs]
[screams]
Sivil!
[screams]
Sivil!
[chuckles]
I'm not an insect like you,
I can't die here.
Not until I save Sivil.
Bomber!
Sivil!
Hey! Wait!
[screams]
Come on, go!
What are you standing there for? Move it!
What are you doing?
I can't hold on much longer!
I'll die before you get to kill me!
Just go!
