In the year 2009, the human race encountered aliens for the first time. Interplanetary war broke out between humans and the armies of the giant race Zentraedi, and the results were nearly devastating. In march of 2010, the war ended, and in April a new unified government was declared. Humans and the Zentraedi began to live in harmony. Those Zentraedi who chose to used Miclonization to alter their bodies to human size. In September of 2011 the unified Earth government launched an outer space emigration plan aimed at preserving the species. In September of 2012, the super long-distance ship Megaroad-01 took off carrying immigrants . In September of 2030, the super high-capacity ship Macross One replaced the Megaroad class ships, and the fleet carried one million passengers. In 2038, Macross Seven, the fleet of new Macross class ships built around the Macross Ship Number Seven, departed toward the center of the galaxy as the 37th wave of immigrants. And then, in the year 2045... CF1 {title}Spirit Girls Tell me! Why do you fly out into battle and sing? What's your purpose? It's not some twisted form of advertisement, is it? There are other ways to advertise, you know? Do you know what you're saying? What's that supposed to mean? The motorcycles. Yeah I noticed them, but I want to know, so tell me! Why do you do it? There's no point in singing where there's no audience. You just don't get it, do you? Why do you have to be that way? I want you to tell me because I don't understand! Just shut up. I sing when I want to. What's with you! You're so selfish. Why don't you explain what you mean? This is Michael. Mylene is currently... What is it? She's driving. Nekki Basara is with her. They're being chased. It looks bad. There is no sign of the vampires... Uh, the enemy troops. They're being chased. It looks bad. She seems to be in no danger at this time. Don't let your guard down, watch them carefully. Michael. Michael! Michael! I understand. I'll make another report later. Danny! Use your head. There's no way I could report that she's being chased by a motorcycle gang. I'm sorry. But I've lost sight of Mylene's car. What?! Did we lose them? No. So, you think you're pretty clever!? Did we do anything? You're out of your league thinking you can lose us! But... But what? A couple of lovers fighting during a nice afternoon drive? We're not lovers fighting. What? Why don't you say it out loud? Mumbling because you're scared? I'm not scared! Right, kid. You were probably asking to buy something for you. We were talking about music! We're in a band. A band! No wonder you seem like such weaklings. Were you talking about singing lessons? Haven't you ever heard me sing? Nope! You should come listen to us sometime. We're called Fire Bomber. Don't make me laugh! What is that? This is where it's at! That's not bad, but you should come hear us sometime. You're getting annoying you fool! What are you doing! What are you doing, you idiot! You're going to get it! Cut it out. But Rex, these guys. Don't waste your time on a guy who likes little girls. It's a good motorcycle. A good rider could make it even better. Oh yeah! Don't diss her. She'll mess up your pretty face. Let's go. Hm, they're not too cold. What would you like, Mylene? I'll take a beer. No way. Here you go. We had to put off Mylene's welcome party since we've been too busy with concerts, but let's enjoy. Cheers! Cheers! You're the female vocalist, and important to this band. Can we count on you? Yup! I know it's sudden, but we've got a gig at Three Star tomorrow. The Three Star? The manufacturing ship? The people working there are having a concert and invited us to come as their guest performers. Wow, guest performers! Cool! Apparently, they saw Basara on the Galaxy Network and got interested. So, the advertising paid off. This is a really big shuttle! Yeah. I rented it. What, Fire Bomber did? Yeah. Can we afford it? We're getting paid for this gig. Don't worry. Wow! You better be careful though. If we damage it we'll have to pay for repairs that'll make the rental look like nothing. Don't worry. Right, Basara? There are now 35 victims who have been assaulted by the unknown suspects. The investigation continues, but there have been no clues as yet. It is recommended that no one walk alone at night... It's gotten to be a dangerous town. It must be the same ones who attacked me! The enemy battle machines appear to be of the type sent on an investigative mission to the Fourth planet in the Varauta system. But due to extensive modifications, we can not say for sure. It is possible that an alien race got their hands on the Valkyries. But why would they use them to infiltrate City 7? We must find out why they are attacking us. We have made preparations to send a special investigative unit. Captain Max, have you made contact with Earth? I have. And? They said to take care of it on our own. How irresponsible! What do we tell the citizens? Nothing for now. Telling them would only send them into a panic. I doubt if that will satisfy Mayor Myria. We could spend years in meetings like this and never come to a conclusion. Commander. Wasn't that Mayor Myria? Yes. She was also my flight instructor. What's this? That's... Well, she's cute. Isn't this the Mayor's youngest daughter? Yes. Her name is Mylene. She's a girl, only fourteen. It doesn't mean anything. She's not my type anyway. Why not? It's the Mayor's daughter. Why don't you see her. I'll think about it. How much longer? Not even ten minutes. Watch out! It's the bikers from yesterday! How annoying. I suppose they think they're honing their driving technique,... ...but they're going to get themselves killed one of these days. What's up? Basara? Rex! Who is that? It's the we guy met yesterday. Is he challenging us? Who does he think he is? He can lick the bottom of our tires! What's he doing? What's the point? That wasn't even a challenge. He must have gotten scared. We're going to the concert. Huh? That guy's concert... # Planet Dance Thank you! Thank you! The audience is a lot smaller than I thought. It doesn't matter how many there are in the audience... ``As long as they came to hear us, we'll sing with all we've got,'' right? Stop it! Stop your singing party! You're all soft from spending too much time in luke-warm water! Why don't you go home and practice singing with the other kids! You can complain if you like, but only after you've listened to us sing. It'll resonate in your heart. Oh yeah! Yeah, listen first! Huh! These guys are pitiful! One shot and they're scared! What happened to all that energy you had a minute ago? If you want us to leave, why don't you ask? Ha! People who are into music are all cowards! We ride on the edge of life and death. We live and die for the moment. That's the Rex Gang! So, do you feel like listening to my song? Why you! What do you think you're... Rex! Buddy, can you put your life on the line for singing? What's going on? Captain Max, please report to bridge. Valkyrie units Green and Blue please stand by. Yellow and Purple units please sortie. Please contact Lt. Kinryu immediately. They're here! Huh! He ran away! Now I'll let you listen to my song. Basara! Basara? That's him? What's he going to do? He didn't run away... Let's go! # Totsugeki Love Heart That was the hangar! Hurry, into the shelter! Yeah. Is that really him up there? Is he doing all that just to sing? Putting his life on the line? That guy... Run away, Colette! Basara, slider number fifty-two. Fifty-two? Bastard! Rex! Stop it! Damn! I fired twice! Are you all right? Yeah, somehow. How about you? You're hurt. It's just a scratch. That's good. I've got to hand it to you. Did my song get through to you at all? No, just that you take your singing that seriously. Oh. Don't be so disappointed. That's thanks for rescuing me. Bye. Bye. Next time, come listen to us play. I can't promise. All right gang, let's get going! Oh, jeez. Ray! What's with the missiles!? Huh? The missiles! Oh, I got them through army channels. That's not what I mean! Why were they loaded onto my Valkyrie? Because they fit. What? It doesn't matter. We can't fit the Valkyrie in here. You'll have to fly it back to City 7. Ray! Can you do it with that arm? Of course I can! What? I'll pilot the Valkyrie for you. Why? Your arm hurts doesn't it? Can you operate this? Who do you think I am? But, do you know how? Sure. Why did you modify it like this, anyway? How come you know how to operate one of these? My parents used to be ace pilots. Hey, Gubaba seems unhappy. # My friends What's the point of singing as you're flying? Don't you sing when you feel like it? Next time Yuck! Mom wants to set me up with an army guy! I used live ammo twice! I'm such an idiot! Love is a battle! Next time, First Contact. Radically fire!
