What good is that?! Although we've made our debut, we're not selling any records! It's not going to do us any good for you to think about it. It's not going to happen if you don't sing. Is that so? I understand. Ray, although it was only a short while, it was nice knowing you. And he doesn't sing with all his heart... Is that how things are going for you? Rain? Have you forgotten the tale in the dream? Whether that clan is well suited to my dream or not. That is what I'm investigating. # Flashakaya's Song DEEP BALLAD What the...! Why?! What the hell do you think you're doing with my Valkyrie!? That's it... that's it... just perfect. All right! I'll get in in just a sec. Hold on. Ray! What's the meaning of this? Like I told you... Regular maintenance. Really... you never pay attention to what people say. You're here too? Of course I am! Why? I wanted to get Ray's opinion on a song. This early in the morning? Oh, man... it's almost noon. Oh, right... Wouldn't it be faster if I just rode it there instead of having you carry it there like this? If you go marching around town in a battroid, you'll frighten the other drivers. In any case, I'll take care of it. But I'm not really keen on other people poking around in it. I told you to just leave everything up to me. They're old buddies of mine. Trust me. Old buddies? What did Ray used to do? You joined this band without even knowing something like that? But... Anyway, what did he used to do? I have no idea either. What!? As a matter of principle, I don't go snooping around in other people's pasts. I think I'll go back to sleep. I wonder what Ray used to do... Hello. Miss Akiko! Where's Ray? In his room? He just stepped out. Oh... Is something up? I wanted to talk to him about the upcoming concert. It'll be good chance for Fire Bomber. I was able to round up some people from the industry. I think it'll be a good chance. It's a great chance! I wanted to go over the details, but without Ray, maybe it'd be best if I came back later. Definitely! Definitely! I'll be sure to have him call you right away! Thank you. He's always been so hard to track down. Miss Akiko... You've known Ray for quite some time, right? That's right. What did Ray used to do? You don't know? No. A pilot... an elite army pilot. A pilot?! Some of the paint is peeled away, but otherwise, it looks okay. Your estimates are better than our measurements. The VF-19 really is state-of-the-art. This Valkyrie is a masterpiece. I understand a top-of-the-line Valkyrie is in there... I'd like to take a look. I'm very sorry sir, but only hanger 20 personnel and other authorized people are allowed in. I just waited to see if it's a Valkyrie I've seen before. I'm very sorry, lieutenant. No matter how well it does on the tests, there's no way the VF-19 will be delivered without compensation. Right. Under these circumstances, Operation M is being delayed. Right... If things don't progress according to the schedule, we'll have to reschedule... That won't be necessary! Just give us a bit more time! Captain Maximilian... All I'm sure of is that the pilot Basara Nekki is pretty good. Captain! But compared to how good I used to be, he's still got a ways to go. Sorry, but only industry members today. Hey! For some reason, this isn't our usual kind of audience! What did you expect? Miss Akiko worked hard to get TV directors and video producers, along with music magazine editors, anyone who matters, down here. Oh... We may have a CD out, but it's not going to do us any good if we don't sell any. Even if only one person out there notices you, it'll be good. Thank Miss Akiko. Uh, thank you. It was no trouble. We'll just play like usual. Right. # Planet Dance Spiritia level 73 and increasing. Musician's Spiritia level is emanating outward. Akiko! Quickly... this way! That should hold them! Persistent aren't you! Basara! Use this! Ray! Ray! Ray! Damn... got away... Ray... hang in there! Ray... say something! There's one person down. Send an ambulance. Well, there was no injury to the internal organs, so it's probably no big deal. We'll need to keep you here until the wound closes. Please take care. We were really worried, Ray. 15 stitches on my abdomen. It's a badge of courage. Come on! You're not some pro-wrestler, boasting about their injury! Damn it! You're lucky it was nothing major. Right... I'm sorry... because you were trying to protect me... Don't worry about it, Akiko... It was just an accident. But... Back then, why didn't you shoot, Ray? When the enemy was right in front of you... That's because I don't know how to use a gun. What?! Let's go fill out his paperwork. Okay. Ray... where's my Valkyrie? The maintenance is done already, right? Probably. Where is it? I'll go get it. # eyecatch How many enemy craft? Medium craft 5. Small craft 4. Speed 10.7. Enemy craft approaching area D. And what about the Diamond Force? Preflight preparations complete. D-Force, launch. Catapult is clear. Ray, I'll go get it. Uh... wait a sec. Come on. Where did you leave it? Basara... What is it? Go and wait in Akusho. I'll contact you there. Contact me? Yeah. I'm counting on you. It's okay. It's safe here in the hospital. Why? What happened? Basara couldn't have taken him, could he? I wonder... Ray can't even stand... This is Ray Lovelock. How's the maintenance on the VF-19? Okay... can I ask you to bring it to S-8? How about G-3? It's close to a catapult. Right. I'll meet you there. I'm going to go look for him. Wait, Mylene. It's no use... you'll never find him. He's gone probably because he wanted to go. Mylene? Yes? Remember when you asked Ray why he didn't shoot? Yes... He won't shoot. He refuses to fight. Ray was a pilot back before Macross 7 was launched. Ray, Kinryu, and Stephan together were the Pink Pecker team. Pink Pecker?! That's right. Uh... In particular, Ray and Stephan were really good friends, and always hung out together. Then one day, during a Zentradi attack, Ray and Stephan were left behind among the enemy. Not sure weather to attack or retreat, Ray decided to attack. Stephan tried to stop him, but Ray wouldn't listen to him... ...and Stephan was killed. Taking responsibility for Stephan's death, he retired from the armed forces and stopped fighting. Miss Akiko... is that when you became friends with Ray? With Ray? Right. Yeah... I was Stephan's girlfriend. It was Ray who cheered me up when I was depressed. It was rough for Ray too. Damn it... Thanks to him, I got better, but the scars in Ray's heart were still there, never fading. Just when I thought I hadn't seen him in a while, I saw that he was happy again and had found a new dream. A new dream? It was Basara. Eh? Basara? That's right. He seemed to have his youth again. I was jealous. Jealous? Right... it was as if he had to live right for Stephan's sake too. I should've picked a different spot. A dream he wants to commit his life to... Basara is... You don't understand men either, do you? One thing's for sure... it's silly. Woodpecker? It's pink. 52 seconds is close. My watch doesn't have a second hand. You can take care of the rest, right? Yeah, Thanks. You saved me. Basara? Damn! CF1 D-1 to D-2. Yes, Commander? Physica was isolated. I'm going back to support him. You'll be okay, right? Yes, sir. Uh, Commander? What is it? Has that civilian craft that always shows up appeared yet? You mean that Karaoke guy? He probably quit. Never mind him. Understood. I'm not looking for him. I'm glad he's not here to get in my way. Why do you always pull stunts like this? I told you I'd go and get it! My buddies are kind of shy... So, if it wasn't me... What? Wait... I'll carry you back to the van. Don't be ridiculous. I can drag myself to the van just fine. Instead, you better get going. We're using the army's hatch secretly. So you'd better hurry up. You're always pulling stunts like this... You better head straight back to the hospital! Right... If you don't go back, I'll never forgive you! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go! I'm fine over here! The rain feels good. Just let me stay out here a bit longer. Bastard... He's a pesky one... That's...! It's him! # Totsugeki Love Heart You're in my way! Blazin' Love Heart? He's MY prey! Don't get in my way! You're fighting ME! For some reason, I was able to sing better than usual today. Ray! Ray! Ray! Will he be okay? He'll be okay. You have a lot of confidence in him, don't you? Ray really got chewed out by the doctor. Of course. He had to perform the same surgery on him twice in one day. I think he'll behave for a while now. So, Miss Akiko... Let's go to a restaurant. Come on. You're not taking me? I'm going to be talking about grown up stuff with Miss Akiko. Why don't you go to your room and chomp on a burger like a good little boy. Fine then... I'll do that. Just listen to me. The Valkyrie that was here this morning... is it still here? I'm sorry, sir, but I am not permitted to answer that question. Congratulations on your recovery. It's definitely better here. Without you, it's like there's a big void here. One more piece of good news: Fire Bomber's promo video. Really?! Yup. It's still a rough cut, but your last stage show seemed to be a hit. We did it, huh, Ray? It seems like another part of your dream's been realized. Dream, huh? It's okay. Next Time Yahoo! I've been selected to play a role in a TV drama! In show biz, there are guys out there that are more dangerous than vampires! Be careful! What's that supposed to mean? Next time, Minmei Video. Stop being so much trouble for me!
