MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] Giant emigration fleets like
Macross 7 have U.N. Spacy escorts
to ensure the safety of their journey.
BATTLE 7
But Macross 7 was
attacked by the Protodeviln,
energy beings from another dimension.
GAVIL
Losing the majority of Diamond Force
GLAVIL
the U.N. Spacy has been fighting
an uphill battle ever since.
Then, after being requested
by Mayor Milia
CAPT. KINRYU
Diamond Force was
reassigned to defending City 7.
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
CAPT. GAMLIN KIZAKI
And with the completion of
the brand-new VF-19 Valkyrie
BLAZER VALKYRIE
CAPT. DOCKER
Emerald Force was formed.
But at the end of the day,
the civilian support corps, Sound Force,
remains the only team
effective against the Protodeviln.
SOUND FORCE
COL. BARTON
The Jamming Birds,
a new team formed with the same concept,
was unable to deliver results either,
bringing to light the internal turmoil
at the U.N. Spacy.
A MESSAGE THAT PIERCES STARS
To our viewers just tuning in,
we are here today to look for some answers
to what the enemy responsible
for terrorizing the city
and the destruction
of Planet Lux really are.
Let's go to our specialists first.
So, the enemy were recently revealed as
the "Protodeviln." What exactly are they?
Well, essentially,
they're like the demons from myth.
-Demons?
-Yes.
And what is your opinion as a
military commentator, Mr. Crube?
From the data gathered up to now,
one thing is for sure.
Our weapons are useless against them.
No effect at all.
It's a miracle
the fleet has survived this long.
If they attacked us in earnest,
the fleet wouldn't stand a chance.
I have to agree.
By the way,
what does Mr. Prisikovich here think?
Yeah, they're super powerful.
What will happen to us?
We urge everyone to remain calm
and go about your daily life.
Pay no attention to false rumors,
and act rationally.
So, has a plan of action
against the Protodeviln been decided?
What am I to tell the people if the
military doesn't show me a plan?
Fear is spreading among the people.
I will not have a panic in the city!
It's your job to keep the people calm.
Increase the patrols.
And what are our chances
against the Protodeviln?
Excuse me, I'm in
an emergency meeting right now.
Wha
Why's Mom always so confrontational?
Apologies. Let's continue.
[Colonel Barton] Well, then
This is the Protodeviln
that presumably destroyed Planet Lux,
but its power and abilities
are still unknown.
That is not enough information.
We need to know more
about the enemy first.
I've summoned Basara and his team.
They've had direct contact with the enemy.
Basara, can you tell us
about the Protodeviln?
Just what you know will be fine.
Basara, they're talking to you.
Huh? Okay.
They're really something else.
-Huh?
-What the
Basara Nekki, what are you talking about?
That's not what we're asking.
I'm saying they have emotions,
just like us!
[all] Huh?
Emotions?
Yeah, I felt it from them. Their hearts.
And my music got through to them too.
I told you that's not
what we're asking about!
Don't you understand?
This is what's important!
[scoffs]
This is ridiculous.
Captain Maximilian!
You may proceed.
We've been fighting skirmishes
up to this point,
and now we need to decide on waging
all-out war against the Protodeviln.
Hey! Wait!
The enemy is targeting us,
so there's no other option.
I agree.
-All-out war is our only choice.
-I believe so too.
This is BS! All-out war? I won't allow it!
Nobody's asking your opinion!
Hey, weren't you listening to
Gigil's song? Didn't you feel his heart?
We understood each other through music!
Sivil showed me the galaxy!
Looks like calling you here was a mistake.
My music can get through
to the Protodeviln!
We can learn to understand each other!
Basara, isn't it possible
the reason your music connected
with the Varauta soldiers and this Gigil
was because they're brainwashed humans?
Currently, we can only use Song Energy
as a weapon to weaken the Protodeviln.
That's not it!
The military will decide
what to do with your music!
Go to hell!
[grunts]
You talk about connecting through music,
but the Protodeviln all run away
when you start to sing.
They must really hate your music.
You people don't understand
how they feel in their heart.
Basara!
[door opens]
[door closes]
Anyway,
I think all-out war is the only answer
to the Protodeviln's cruelty.
Looks like there's no other way.
Captain, I think we should ask Earth
for permission to use Reaction Weaponry.
Reaction Weaponry
They were banned by Galactic Treaty.
I wish to resolve this
without using them if possible.
But against an enemy like the Protodeviln,
we need a powerful weapon.
You need to decide, Captain Maximilian!
Captain Maximilian,
we need to use Reaction Weaponry!
Lord Gepelnitchi, you called?
The dream does not end.
Gigil's actions only added
an unexpected color to the dream.
The Spiritia does not end, either.
For dreams are nothing if not transient.
Yes.
This I bestow upon you.
-What is it?
-It is my secret weapon.
The Anima Spiritia
will no longer have any effect.
You must capture them alive at all costs.
The samples and the one
who emits Anima Spiritia.
Understood.
If sacrifices must be made
for my dream, so be it.
When I smile you are no longer ♪
[child] Mommy, let's go buy
the Blazer Valkyrie!
[person 1] Stop that,
the toy can wait for later.
[Morry] Commander Gamlin!
Oh, Morry.
I've been looking all over
for you, Commander.
Please come back to the squadron.
Without you, Diamond Force
isn't even at half strength.
I've quit the military.
With the enemy revealed as
the Protodeviln, people are nervous.
This is the time
for Diamond Force to shine,
so we can put the people at ease.
Please, come back.
Commander!
I'm sorry.
Commander Gamlin.
What the heck!
[whimpers]
The attitude of those guys,
calling our music bad!
I've had it with them!
It's no use talking to them.
But
And it's true.
The only thing our music has done
is chase away the enemy.
Yeah. So, I gotta get through to them.
I'm gonna connect with
the Protodeviln with my song!
I know I can do it!
That's more like it!
Hello.
Gamlin.
Oh, uh I'm here for Basara.
Huh?
-[Gamlin] Can we talk?
-[Basara] What gives?
-Basara
-What's all this about?
-I have a favor to ask.
-What?
I need you to avoid doing
anything dangerous from now on.
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
You're constantly reckless.
I'm not that reckless.
That notion in itself is dangerous!
What is this, man?
I don't know why,
but I've a feeling your music is the only
hope we have against the Protodeviln.
[chuckles]
I appreciate the compliment.
So, you have to promise me!
[stutters] Okay, man.
No more recklessness.
Y-Yeah.
That's a relief to hear.
Dude, you came all the way here for that?
Damn, ex-soldiers
have time on their hands!
It's because I'm ex-military
that I felt the need to do this.
After all, this is something
that affects everyone in Macross 7.
[chuckles] Man, aren't you better off
wearing a uniform?
Well, you're still the same
on the inside, I guess.
You think so?
Who knows?
Hey, what were you guys talking about?
What were you doing?
Come on! Tell me.
It's nothing.
Hey, Gamlin, what was that about?
It's nothing, really.
What's going on here?
It's nothing
Come on! Why won't you tell me?
[alarm blaring]
Fifteen bandits in area G587.
Sixteen bandits in area F267.
-[alarm ringing]
-And more are still coming in!
The enemy means business too.
Deploy Emerald Force at once.
All forces, prepare to intercept.
[Sally, Miho] Yes, sir.

wearing a uniform?
