[narrator] Eons ago, arriving in
this universe through a space-time rift,
the Protodeviln rabidly drained Spiritia
from all life-forms in the galaxy.
But their overconsumption caused
the Spiritia of the universe to dwindle,
and the Protodeviln ended up
starving themselves.
The Protoculture, humanity's ancestors,
seized this chance
PROTOCULTURE WRITING
using a mysterious power
called Anima Spiritia
to seal away the Protodeviln on
the fourth planet of the Varauta System.
4TH PLANET OF THE VARAUTA SYSTEM
Presently, the Protodeviln
have awakened one by one,
and are antagonizing
the emigration fleet Macross 7.
MACROSS 7 FLEE
It is said that there are
seven Protodeviln in all.
GIGIL
VALGO
With Gigil and Valgo destroyed,
Sivil acting on her own
SIVIL
GAVIL
and Gavil and Glavil originally
being one entity,
GLAVIL
GAVIGLA
that leaves three more,
including Gepelnitchi's actual body.
Awaken, Goram and Zomd.

[zapping stops]
[both laugh]
-[Goram] Ah
-[Zomd] Ah
-So, we have
-been summoned.
Go, Goram and Zomd.
Go and bring the Anima Spiritia before me.
THE DEATH OF BASARA
[crowd cheering]
[rock music playing]
Okay, let's get started SATURDAY NIGH
How you feelin'? ♪
LET'S STAND UP
Can you feel the beat? ♪
[music stops]
Forgive me, both of you.
It was my fault
that I was possessed by the Protodeviln.
[music playing on radio]
Max.
Milia, how are you feeling?
I'm all right, Max.
Get some rest
until you're fully recovered.
I'm all right, Max.
Milia
[grunts, gasps]
Milia
You
You look beautiful today.
Are you all right, Max?
Are you tired or something?
[gasps]
Milia,
I've been wanting to say this
-[beeps]
-Hello. Is Captain Maximilian there?
It's me.
The vanguard ships have detected
possible Protodeviln.
[Max] Deploy Emerald Force
and all Valkyrie squadrons.
I will be back shortly.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, Milia.
[door opens, closes]
Take care, dear.
[laughs]
[laughs]
Spiritia Farm.
Anima Spiritia.
All belong

[siren wailing]
[all exclaim]
[crowd murmuring]
We'll continue the show in space!
-Fire!
-[crowd cheers]
Let's go, rookies!
-[pilot 1] Roger.
-[pilot 2] It's an honor, sir!
-[alarm blaring]
-[automated voice] Captain on the bridge.
Captain, an update from the vanguard!
The enemies are unidentified Protodeviln.
-They're types we've never seen before.
-How many?
There seem to be two of them, sir.
-All right.
-Perhaps this is their ace in the hole.
[laughing]
Bastards!
Keep firing!
[laughing]
Take this!
This won't
affect us.
[both laughing]
Damn, they're too powerful.
Come quickly
Anima Spiritia.
Captain,
normal weapons
have no effect on the enemy.
Tell the vanguard to fall back to
the second defense perimeter!
Lure the enemy within range
of our Reaction Warheads!
[rock music playing]
[laughs] There you are
Anima Spiritia.
That's
Captain!
We have an emergency call
from Capt. Docker of Emerald Force.
-Patch it to me.
-Yes, sir.
Captain, we have a situation!
They're holding the people
of Macross 5 hostage!
What?
The enemy have reached
the second defense perimeter.
All ships,
Reaction Warheads ready to fire.
Let's go!

Spiritia
regeneration.
[both laughing]
Again?
Now die
and dissolve.
[both shout]
What's going on?
Did Basara's song make them more powerful?
No, that's not it.
They're absorbing Spiritia from
the people revived by Basara's song.
[sucks teeth]
[Gavil] Well done, Lord Gepelnitchi.
Making that container full of samples
into a giant Spiritia absorber
is ingenious.
This is strategy beauty.
[chuckles]
[both laughing]
[breathing shakily]
I guess there's nothing we can do.
Captain, incoming message
from Capt. Gamlin.
He's requesting the use of Fold Boosters.
Fold Boosters?
Gamlin Kizaki of Diamond Force,
now deploying under Battle 7's authority.
Gamlin, what do you intend
to do with the Fold Boosters?
They're for rescuing the hostages
and escaping the combat zone.
I see. But that's a dangerous gamble.
Captain, please give me
a chance to redeem myself!
[Exsedol] To transport that hostage dome,
we will need at least four Boosters.
All right.
I'll have Emerald Force help you
with the rescue mission.
Thank you, sir.
Shower us
Shower us
-With Spiritia

Shower us
[Zomd] Anima Spiritia.

Gamlin and Emerald Force

Let's go.

-A clever ploy!
Okay! Now we can sing!
[groans]
What gives?
The military's going to use
Reaction Warheads on the Protodeviln.
No, don't!
I can sing to them now!
No, Basara!
If you get caught in the blast,
you'll die!
Sound Force are in the clear.
All right!
All ships, fire Reaction Warheads!
You idiots!
Did we do it?
We have impact on all warheads.
Confirming enemy status.

They're regenerating!
Impossible.
