MACROSS 7 FLEE
[narrator] Macross 7 is
a giant emigration fleet traveling the
galaxy in search of a habitable planet.
Finding such a planet
to colonize in this vast universe
is a long and time-consuming journey,
and so the fleet has
seven large residential ships
with cityscapes, parks, rivers,
and hills inside where people can live
as they did on Earth.
The residential ship at the center
of the fleet is called City 7,
and it is the political center
of the fleet as well.
CITY 7
Other ships include
the Factory Ship Three Star
THREE STAR
RIVIERA
the Resort Ship Riviera,
the Amusement Ship Hollywood,
and the Agricultural Ship Sunny Flower.
HOLLYWOOD - SUNNY FLOWER
The ships are connected by a space
highway called the Milky Road
MILKY ROAD
where people can come
and go at will in spacefaring cars.
BATTLE 7 - CITY 7
There are also large battleships
attached to each residential ship
BATTLE 7
and even more warships
forming a perimeter around them
to protect the fleet
from unknown hostiles.

-[Basara] This world is kind of funny ♪
[crowd member 1] Basara's back,
and they're still canceling shows?
-[crowd member 2] What the heck?
-Always fighting their damn war!
Try singing to us for once!
[Mylene] Good things don't happen
All the time ♪
[gasps]

And storms do come, too
But ♪

Get 'em while they're hot, folks!
This is something
no Fire Bomber fan can pass up!
[vendor 1] Photos we secretly took
of our idol Mylene!
Be quick or they'll sell out!
[vendor 2] Okay, get in line! No pushing!
You jerk!
[crowd gasp]
[grunts] What's the big idea, you brat?
People like you aren't real fans!
I LOVE MYLENE!
["Riding in your Valkyrie" playing]
Hey, whenever I'm in trouble ♪
Show Jamming Birds what war feels like!
Attack them like they're the enemy!
It'll save these cuties' lives
in the long run!
Engage!
Only you can see ♪
You're as capricious as the wind ♪
Hey, why do we have to be here for this?
Hmm. Well
We even had to cancel a gig.
Isn't that a bit much?
They could've done this another day.
[Chiba] Numbers like these
aren't enough to generate Sound Energy.
I think they'll need more time
to be combat ready.
The Jamming Birds can distract as well
as attack. That's where their value lies.
Yes, their Song Energy is still weak.
But that will grow
with more combat experience.
[screams]
[grunts]
COME ON ♪
Training effectiveness is a bit slow,
but they're definitely making progress.
[officer]
All Jamming Birds units have been hit.
What?
The Jamming Birds is a civilian corps.
I'm optimistic about their effectiveness,
but we need more data on safety.
[engine revving]
Thanks for the ride, Gamlin.
You're welcome.
Wanna come up for some tea?
Oh, that wouldn't do.
As close as we are, visiting your place
at this hour isn't appropriate.
I see.
[grunts]
But hey, I guess I have time for one
coffee since I'm off duty tomorrow.
-[camera shutter clicks]
-What was that?
[gasps] Is it Galactic Sports?
Is this going to be a scandal?
Oh, no, no, no,
this is completely platonic!
[exclaims] Don't be going on dates
when you won't even show up for a concert!
Hey! What is the meaning of this?
-Mylene! Sing "MY FRIENDS"!
-Huh?
I'm a big fan!
Check this out! It's Gubaba.
What? That's Gubaba?
[mews]
Well, yeah, I've never
seen him up close, so
Anyways, sing "MY FRIENDS," okay?
Listen
Wait a minute, young man.
I got a name, okay? It's Billy!
All right, Billy.
It's very late,
and Miss Mylene is very tired.
That's right, maybe next time.
When's next time? Tomorrow?
I'll be at the rehearsal space
in the slums, then!
Hey, wait!
It's a promise then!
If you break it, I'll do this!
[Mylene screams]
-[Mylene screams]
-[Billy chuckles]
Hey! Why you little
[pants] See ya! Good night!
[groans] Seriously! That's so rude!
Right, Gamlin?
[stammers] Oh, that's, uh
Lord Gepelnitchi, you called?
Gavil, I have a new plan.
A new plan?
[grunts]
["fall" playing]
-What's the matter, Mylene?
-[music stops]
-[drumming continues]
-You came in late again.
Sorry.
You got a date with Gamlin or something?
[Mylene] It's not that
-[mews]
-[door opens]
-[drumming stops]
-Hey, hello.
-Oh, Gamlin!
-[mews]
I was right.
Ah, the splendor of youth.
It's not like that!
Hey, your date can wait
till after the rehearsal.
I just said that's not it!
Her date is with me. I'm Billy!
[chuckles]
Smile!
[exclaims] Nice.
Cheese!
-Mylene? Who's this?
-[Billy] Look here!
-I think he's a fan of mine.
-[camera continues clicking]
Gamlin, why did you bring him here?
Oh, I'm sorry.
He was waiting outside my quarters.
Well, I've heard of the slums,
but couldn't find 'em on the City 7 map.
So I had your spikey-haired manager
bring me here.
Who are you calling spikey-haired?
And I'm not the manager!
Look, Billy, this is a serious rehearsal.
So, I don't have time
to play around, okay?
Hey! I'm serious
about listening to you sing too!
Is that wrong?
Nope. Sounds good!
See?
I can't believe this. Jeez.
Well, since he's already here,
why not let him stay?
Way to go, Ray!
You're all right for an old guy!
-O-Old?
-[snickers]
[sighs] Come on, he can listen
all he wants to at the concert.
Hey, let me see Gubaba!
[mews]
-Whoa, he really is cute.
-[mews]
-Let's see.
-[shrieks]
Huh? Wow.
-Oh, it's attached to his body.
-[shrieking]
-[Mylene] Hey!
-Huh?
-What are you doing? You're hurting him!
-[mews]
[chuckles] Oh, sorry.
[exclaims] That's so cool!
It's Mylene's bass guitar!
I've always wanted to try it out.
Let me play!
Hey!
[playing rhythm]
[chuckles]
-[Mylene] Enough!
-[gasps]
Enough is enough. Give it back!
Sorry.
Come on,
he's just having a little fun. It's okay.
It's not okay!
This guitar's my life.
-Got it?
-[gasps]
All right, we have to rehearse now,
so can you behave?
[exclaims, gasps]
Shut up!
I don't wanna be here, anyway!
-[grunts]
-[Billy pants]
Huh? [sighs]
[sighs] Now look what you've done.
Whatever!
What's with him?
You can't find this anywhere else!
It's something
every Mylene fan's got to have.
Totally unedited pics!
Hey! You again?
Stop selling this stuff!
-[vendor 1] Mind your own business!
-[yelps]
You're not getting away.
[vendor 1] This will teach you
-not to stick your nose in our business!
-Hey! What are you doing?
[stammers] Mylene Jenius?
What's going on here?
Wait, I can explain
This kid was trying to sell
lewd pictures of you!
Yeah, he was forcing them on us.
See? That's why we got mad and
You were taking these pictures
and selling them?
No!
Then who?
You were taking
a lot of pictures back there, right?
How should I know?
I don't wanna be your fan anymore!
Oh, yeah? Well, good riddance!
[mews]
Man
Seriously,
how did things turn out like this?
Jeez.
[vendors panting]
That was close.
I never expected
Mylene to show up in person.
-Yeah.
-[Gamlin] What was close?
[Veffidas drumming]
What's wrong? Didn't find him?
Yeah, but forget it.
There's no point thinking about it,
anyway.
[Basara] No point to what?
-[mews]
-Huh?
The kid dropped this.
[Mylene] This ticket,
it's from my debut gig with the band
Whoa, fans going that far back are scarce.
Yeah.
But that kid was selling pictures of me.
[Gamlin] No, he wasn't.
[Mylene] Gamlin.
The other two guys were the peddlers.
But since they repented, I let them off.
Not before confiscating
the photos and negatives, of course.
-[drumming stops]
-178, 179
180, 181, 182
Why do we have to do this?
How should I know?
-[drumming continues]
-Man,
when will you learn
to tell truth from lies?
Yeah, rub it in.
Mylene, I found the boy's address with
the registration number on the ticket.
Oh? Really?
But he doesn't live in City 7.
Looks like he's from
the Agricultural Ship Sunny Flower.
It's the ship at the rear of the fleet.
[mews]
Hey! Mylene
-[drumming stops]
-I'll make a quick trip in my Valkyrie.
After all, what are we without the fans?
-[birds chirping]
-[classical music playing]
What are these for?
Hey! Don't you tamper with that!
What is this?
-Oh, it plays music for the crops.
-Eh?
[farmer] Plants love music, too.
They grow better with good music playing.
So, classical music?
Yeah, classical's great.
But that naughty kid Billy
keeps trying to play rock music.
You know Billy?
Yep. He lives alone right there,
over on that hill.
Alone?
His parents died three years ago, you see.
I've been taking care of him since,
but the kid's stubborn like his dad.
-[mews]
-He just wouldn't leave that house.
I didn't know that.
He's an honest kid. Hardworking too.
But he spends all his money
going to City 7.
He seems to really like the music
of that Fire-somethin'.
-[door opens, closes]
-[Mylene] Billy! It's me!
Did he go out without locking the door?
Huh?
It's a photo of me.
He really made me
look great in this picture.
Billy? Billy?
Where did that boy go?
[Billy] Sing! I'm a big fan!
All right.
-[alarm blaring]
-Captain! Bandits inbound, 1700 ahead!

Boy, and I flipped her skirt too.

Captain! We're getting an all-range
transmission from Sunny Flower!
At a time like this?
[chuckles]
Protodeviln!
Foolish samples,
I have taken over this ship.
If I make it self-destruct,
even a small ship
like this can wipe out
all the surrounding ships.
Disintegration beauty!
What are your demands?
[scoffs] You catch on fast.
What I want is the source
of those blasted sound waves.
-[music fades]
-You want Basara?
[laughing]
[stammers] Basara!
Basara from Sound Force
is advancing towards the enemy.
What?
We cannot afford to lose
our only defense against the Protodeviln.
[Gamlin] This is dangerous.
What is Basara thinking?
Basara Nekki,
do you mean to surrender to them?
We go when we're called.
That's Fire Bomber!
Good! Don't try anything!
Let out one sound wave,
and this ship will blow.
Fire!
Just like Lord Gepelnitchi said,
these samples will sacrifice themselves
for the lives of others.
A foolish species.
[chuckles] Abduction beauty.
