[narrator] In 2009,
the human race encountered
an alien race of giants
called the Zentradi,
which started a brutal war.
But the war ended quickly,
and Zentradi who wished
to become human-sized
were able to do so through
Miclone technology.
MICLONIZATION
CITY 7
Milia, the mayor of City 7, is a Zentradi
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
who went through
the miclonization process.
BATTLE 7 CAPTAIN,
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
And since Maximilian,
the captain of Battle 7, is a human,
their daughter Mylene has a mixed
heritage belonging to both races.
MYLENE F. JENIUS
On a side note, Fire Bomber's
drummer Veffidas is full-blooded Zentradi.
FIRE BOMBER
VEFFIDAS FEAZE
And Exsedol, who acts as
an advisor for U.N. Spacy
BATTLE 7 BRIDGE
has not even been miclonized.

Basara!
Basara!
Miss Mylene, it's no use!
Hmm? What is that?
MYSTERY OF THE COSMIC RUINS?
Mr. Exsedol, the ruins?
Not yet visible.
Mr. Exsedol,
isn't it about time you told me
why these ruins that Capt. Gamlin
has reported interest you so much?
You, who hasn't stepped
outside of Battle 7
since the Macross 7 fleet left Earth?
Why do you insist on examining
these ruins in person?
A premonition.
That's all I can say for now.
You were once an archivist
for the Zentradi
and still retain much data
you accessed in that past.
What is it that you felt from these ruins
that emerged from the sea?
If my assumptions are correct,
we might be able to find important data
that can solve the mystery
of our ancestors, both Zentradi and human.
The mystery of our ancestors?
Important data?
You mean
[Exsedol] Yes, the Protoculture.
The race that created the Zentradi
and became ancestors of the human race.
Protoculture!
In the vastness of space,
this sector was
where the Protoculture lived.
That much was recorded
in the data archives that I accessed.
As you can see, I've been attentive
to this subject for quite some time now.
The Protoculture who was said to be
the ancestor of the human race
[Exsedol gasps]
T-These are indeed Protoculture ruins!
-This is like something in a movie.
-Right?
So, this is Protoculture's
[footsteps approaching]
[soldier] Lord Gepelnitchi.
A mysterious structure has
appeared on Planet GGT.
[Gepelnitchi] A structure?
Those are Protoculture ruins!
This is bad. Those ruins
Dreams are meaningless
if they are not realized.
Destroy the ruins at once!
Basara
Who knows where he's wandering around now?
Hmm?
["MY SOUL FOR YOU" playing]
[Basara] COME ON PEOPLE ♪
I want you to feel it ♪
Even if you can't understand ♪
Let's catch up.
We should stay with the group.
-[rumbling]
-[gasps]
Miss Mylene!
Miss Mylene
[gasping]
Murals.
Mr. Exsedol! What is this?
It's a depiction
of the Protoculture's history.
Mr. Exsedol! Aren't those inscriptions?
[Exsedol] Protoculture writing.
Can it be deciphered?
It is almost identical to
the Zentradi language.
"Ek charta d'larta ett Protoculture."
"We are a proud race,
the first among the vast variety
of life-forms in the universe
to develop culture.
For that reason,
we call ourselves the Protoculture."
[soldier] Protoculture?
[soldier 2] The first race of life-forms
to develop culture?
[Exsedol] "Our homeland
was rich with vegetation,
and we formed small villages,
living off the land
by foraging and fishing.
We lived in peace.
Then we invented metal tools.
And by the time we started
using them for farming,
more tribes were formed, and
the land began to be split into two areas.
And as industry and commerce advanced,
the two areas interacted in political,
social and all other aspects.
Eventually, our race set off into space,
and split into two factions
that warred with each other.
This war spread across the universe.
Not wanting to dirty
our own hands in the fight,
giant Zentradi soldiers were created
to be the combatants for both sides.
The arms race escalated,
and a new race of warriors more powerful
than the Zentradi were created.
They were called the Evil."
[gasps] Wow, this is cool!
[Exsedol] "The fight was long and hard."
Such foolishness.
So, these were our ancestors?
[growls]
Sivil She may destroy my dream.
She poses a threat!
[Exsedol] "The war waged on
for a long time, seemingly endless.
But the Protodeviln were
what led us to our doom."
Mr. Exsedol! You're saying it was the
Protodeviln who destroyed our ancestors?
Most likely.
The Protodeviln are said to be demonic.
Demonic?
Basara
[soldier] Where did they come from?
[soldier 2] Did they just appear
from some other universe?
I think we might find the answer inside.
[rumbling]
Oh, my!
[gasping]
-[thud]
-An inscription!
"Embodiment of peace,
touch and the door shall open."
The embodiment of peace?
I believe that some kind of clue
lies in those words.
It does not open.
Step back.
No! It's too dangerous!
[gasps, grunts]
I told you.
Miss Mylene!
[yelps]
[breathes shakily]
[gasps]
[gasping]
[gasps] Deculture!
Could that be Protoculture?
[soldier] Protoculture?
[soldier 2] That?
I am the one who sleeps here,
waiting to pass on the Protoculture's
message to future generations.
We seem to have awakened you.
The door shall open
to the embodiment of peace.
They shall be the one who wakes me.
What is this embodiment of peace?
A mixture of different races.
That is the embodiment of peace.
A mixture of different races
[Gubaba mews]
Miss Mylene, it's you!
You're the embodiment of peace.
Huh?
I see. The daughter
of Captain Max and Mayor Milia.
A child born of human and Zentradi blood
is the embodiment of peace.
I have waited long for this moment,
you who represents peace.
Through a fissure in space and time,
energy beings from another dimension
possessed the Evil.
Energy beings?
Possessed?
These energy beings became demonic,
so we called them the Protodeviln.
Protodeviln!
Pulverize the Protoculture ruins!
Witness the beauty of total destruction!
The Protodeviln took Spiritia
from all life-forms of the galaxy,
for they cannot survive without Spiritia.
Spiritia?
[groans]
That's why they're attacking us.
But the Protodeviln were
too excessive in harvesting Spiritia,
and the number of life-forms
with Spiritia dwindled,
vanishing almost entirely
from the universe.
Losing their source of sustenance,
the Protodeviln had doomed themselves.
So the Protodeviln
can't produce Spiritia themselves?
Without Spiritia,
the Protodeviln were weakened.
Then, they were sealed away
by a mysterious force,
and entered a prolonged slumber.
Sealed away?
Mysterious force?
Anima Spiritia.

I can't imagine us
being the Anima Spiritia.
