===========================================
Space has no ceiling nor floor.
You can float on forever.
However...
I want to fly under my own power.
I don't even care if I fall...
so long as it's in a real sky.
===========================================
There was once a war with a race of giants known as the Zentradi.
After first contact with an extraterrestrial entity led to war,
Humanity, having faced the possibility of extinction, entrusted its future to the colonization of outer space,
and set sail for new lands all across the galaxy.
2059 A.D.
The 25th massive colonial fleet to be created,
Macross Frontier,
is continuing its expedition toward the center of the galaxy.
At the same time,
a lone songstress descends towards this frontier,
having crossed the sea of stars.
You are approaching the area of artificial gravity.
Please watch your step.
What an extremely lively city.
That said, are you prepared for this?
In case you can't find your "target," what will you do?
Grace... I'm Sheryl.
Sheryl Nome always sings at her best.
You're kidding! You really got tickets to Sheryl's concert?!
Well, yeah.
That's because Michael, Luca, and I will be doing the aerobatics at the performance.
I'll pass one on to you.
Thank you, Alto-kun!
There are a lot of take-out orders today, so wait for me, okay?
Oh, Deculture!
I'm really going to see it!
I'm heading out!
===========================================
How's it going, Luca?
The maneuvers for later, that is.
Start with a Split S,
then go from a triple loop to a sudden bank and ascent.
We'll go with this for now.
What nonsense.
I couldn't care less about it.
Is this about the harsh treatment you received during our rehearsal with the Galactic Fairy?
I just always want to fly to extent of my abilities, that's all.
Then if you end up accidentally crashing into the crowd,
just who will take responsibility for it?
I won't make any mistakes.
Oh, such open-mindedness, but don't you have any regrets, leaving the kabuki stage?
Genius "actress," Princess Alto.
What did you just say!?
You make such a fabulous face when you're angry.
What was that?!
Here we go again.
Honestly...
My dear princess...
Klan-senpai!
What!
Buzz off!
They're no different from a bunch of kids.
One more time and—
Thank you for waiting! This is Nyan Nyan!
If you could only see the look on your face—
Why you—
You think I'll forgive you?
Ranka!
Oh, Ranka-chan! That was fast.
Yeah.
Well then everyone, here's Nyan Nyan's marvelous "Galactic Ramen."
Today you also get the "Magellanic Cloud" for free as a bonus!
Wow, magellanic naruto! Let's eat!
The smell of this soup is quite charming.
Let's eat!
Hey, come back! Wait a minute, Klan!
I just couldn't help it!
Hey, Alto-kun.
Do you want to eat together?
We can have Nyan Nyan's deluxe tuna buns!
No, thank you. I need to keep my weight down for flying.
Th-These are...
It's here!
Go!
North-northwesterly wind.
Four meters per second.
Ranka-chan?
Connected to the catapult.
Five,
four,
three,
two,
one,
Go!
Take off!
All right!
In the beginning was the song.
Stars sing as if they're playing a beautiful tune of heaven.
Lynn Minmay 2009
Sharon Apple 2040
Fire Bomber 2045
It's starting.
And now...
Listen to my song!
===========================================
Target confirmed.
Stabilizers released.
Nina... Johnny...
Amazing!
The Galactic Fairy...
===========================================
Bravo 1 and 3 have been destroyed.
Golf 7 damaged, returning to base.
The second attack wave of unmanned vehicles is cleared to engage the unknowns.
Intercept in 10 seconds.
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...
Electro-magnetic bursts?!
Is it true? The unknowns are interfering with the control systems of the missiles and Ghosts?
Y-Yes, Mr. President.
Don't screw this up!
===========================================
She must be kidding me!
What was that for?
We're going to keep going!
Seriously...
That idiot!
All backup fliers, follow his lead.
This is S.M.S. Skull Squadron leader, Ozma Lee, to New U.N. space fighter.
We're taking control of this area.
R-Roger that!
These aren't opponents you cowards could fight.
Code Victor, so this is what you were talking about, Captain.
Let's go!
What are these things?
Go defend the city, Gilliam!
===========================================
You don't have to tell me!
Seriously, what were you thinking?
Don't you get it? It's entertainment. Entertainment.
Stop messing with me! If I'd been even a little bit slower, then...
And it wouldn't have been just you, but the audience too!
Living unpredictably makes life interesting, doesn't it?
I just wanted to do something more thrilling than mere singing.
What was that?!
Aren't you the one who said "Don't look down on us!" during the rehearsals?
I was only evaluating just how well you could fly.
A gas jet cluster?!
You're such an idiot. Only an amateur would do that without something to fall back on.
Come on, the next number is about to start!
Hey!
An evacuation order has been issued. An evacuation order has been issued.
All citizens, please report to the nearest shelter.
This is not a drill.
No way!
Roger, we'll return immediately.
Let's go, Luca.
Understood.
Evacuate?! My live performance has only just begun!
Damn it, what the hell is going on out there?
Purple and Vermilion Squadrons: annihilated.
The final line of defense has been breached!
They're boarding Island 1!
Expand the repulsion field! Use all the available energy we've got!
What's going on here?
It's dangerous here, you idiot. Hurry and get to a shelter.
No, I won't! I don't want my precious concert to end on such a bad note!
I can't just leave without saying a word!
No way!
This is dangerous!
Sheryl!
Calm down, calm down, calm down!
Sheryl! Fly!
But...
Use the jets around your waist!
What's going on here?
Hold on tight!
Okay.
A VF-25?
It's already been deployed to combat status?
Damn monsters!
I won't die in here!
You monster!
Stop it!
Ranka!
Stay put!
Don't come...
I can do this.
That's not Gilliam.
Who is it?
Ranka!
Why is she here of all places?
Out of ammo?
This is bad!
Please... stop.
An Armored?
Who are you? What happened to Gilliam?
I...
More importantly, what's with these monsters?
What's going on?!
Amazing.
Are you all right, Ranka?
Get a hold of yourself, Ranka!
It's me, Ranka!
Onii-chan.
Onii-chan, you say?
Good, get up! We need to get out of here quickly.
No!
Onii-chan! Onii-chan, Onii-chan!
Why... why would you do such a thing?
I... never wanted anything like this to happen.
No!
What is this fold response?
Alto?
It's over.
I've come to escort you back, Sheryl-sama.
My apologies, I never expected the Vajra invasion force to arrive so quickly.
Brera! How did you arrive so fortuitously?!
Right shoulder and left foot injured, a total of seven bruises.
There also seems to be some bleeding on the right wrist.
In general, however, they are all slight injuries.
Stop it! Haven't I told you to never scan my body!
How could you forget that?
Ms. Grace is waiting for us. We must return before we get involved in more trouble.
If you don't mind...
W-Wait, not yet!
We'll be taking the shortest route back, please hold on tight.
Brera!
So they're finally going after our fleet now.
Here are the casualty and damage reports.
Also, here are the propaganda plans for the mass media and the net.
You're on top of things as always.
It is an honor to receive your praise.
Don't you think the timing is a bit too convenient though?
Are you saying that Sheryl Nome's visit is part of the Galaxy fleet's strategy?
This isn't just about investigating the Vajra. Continue to broaden the scope of the investigation.
Unpredictable, huh?
It can't be... back then...
After a series of attacks on the fleet, the government held a combined funeral for the victims of the tragedy.
According to the Army Chief of Staff at NUNS Headquarters, 228 people are listed as casualties of the battle.
During the funeral, President Glass expressed his condolences and promised the bereaved families adequate compensation.
A private military company?
That's right.
Michael, Luca, and I are part of the S.M.S., not the army.
Captain Ozma!
I know.
To begin with, this is a somewhat unusual situation.
We are tasked with evaluating the state-of-the-art VF-25 before it is approved for procurement by the army.
But back then...
Right.
We, the SMS, can act independently as a civilian organization.
Therefore, it is up to you, Saotome Alto, to decide whether or not you want to become one of us.
So you're blackmailing me.
My sister, Ranka; I am grateful that you saved her.
Ranka? Is Ranka okay?
The truth is that Ranka is traumatized by the thought of losing people who are close to her
because of an event in her past.
Dissociative Amnesia.
Due to a traumatic or stressful event,
it becomes impossible to recall certain memories.
However, certain things can trigger these residual memories,
leading to recollections of intense unhappiness or fear.
In other words, she has a problem with her memory.
Ranka has already recovered.
I hope you don't mind, I've discharged her already.
You've always been so helpful, Canaria.
Don't worry about it.
A certain event, you said?
Ranka lost her entire family long ago.
Parents, siblings, all of them.
But aren't you...
I'm not Ranka's real older brother.
I'm just a worthless pilot who couldn't protect her family 11 years ago.
Ranka has already forgotten all that,
along with everything else about that horrible incident.
Horrible incident? What are you talking about?
Once you've heard it, you can't turn back.
I don't care, I want to know everything.
I'll give you 24 hours to consider it.
Think about it one more time.
"What do I want to do?"
"What are my reasons?" "What am I fighting for?"
Are you going to run away again, Alto?
Run away? Who's going to?
A real war is very different from the stage performances you're used to.
Obviously, I'm aware of that!
No, you don't understand.
The way things are now, you might get yourself or someone else killed.
He was a gallant soldier.
Fearless and unflinching,
he fought with all his strength and sacrificed his life for countless others.
However, this is not the end.
His flesh shall become our flesh, our blood,
the air from which our own lives spring forth.
So, rest now, my comrade.
Farewell, until we meet again!
Salute!
Are you going to run away again, Alto?
This isn't a stage performance...
This is different!
I'm... I'm...!
===========================================
Ranka?
Alto-kun!
That's a nice song.
I don't remember anything from my childhood.
But I do remember this song.
It's my one and only memory.
I see.
You know... sometimes I come to this hill to sing it.
Because no one can hear it here.
I've always taken living for granted.
I wake up in the morning, wash my face, eat a delicious breakfast...
quarrel or have fun with my brother or you guys.
However, it isn't that simple, is it? People, the world...
Geez, are you even listening, Alto-kun?!
Isn't it incredible?
That even a simple piece of paper, folded a few times,
becomes a plane that can fly through the sky.
You really like those things, don't you?
A paper plane is kinda like an actor!
An ordinary piece of paper that changes form into something that flies through the skies!
I have no interest in becoming an actor again, okay?
I wonder if I could fly too.
It's impossible.
I guess it is... for someone like me.
As long as you keep saying "If I could—" and "someone like me—" then yeah...
You'll never do it!
You're so mean, Alto-kun!
I guess.
I want to share it with everyone!
So please listen to it.
My song.
Do whatever you want.
Thank you, Alto-kun!
===========================================
That's right, I want to fly as well.
Even if I have to fight in those skies.
That voice...
===========================================
It can't be!
It's you.
This kind of service isn't something I do very often.
Sheryl-san.
What are you doing in a place like this?
You have a nice voice. What's your name?
I'm Ranka, Ranka Lee.
What nice voice?
There's no need to be so humble.
However...
However?
How is it that you know the song "Aimo"?
"Aimo"?
That's right, "Aimo."
What the... now the mood is ruined!
Hello, Grace.
No way, it's already time for my film shoot?
A slight delay shouldn't matter at all.
Live broadcast? I understand. I'll be there as soon as possible, okay?
Sorry!
It's already show time.
I'll be going then. Let's continue talking some other time, okay?
What's up with her?
How does she know that song?
Alto Saotome, 2nd year in Mihoshi Academy's pilot development course.
As of today, I will formally become a member of the S.M.S. regiment.
I'll ask you one more time.
There are unknown hazards waiting for you any time you go into space.
Are you prepared for that?
Of course!
I mean... I am aware and fully prepared, Major Ozma.
He's so dreamy... as expected of a kabuki actor who plays women's roles.
He seems energetic!
How delicious!
Very well, from now on we will consider you a member of S.M.S., welcome!
Damn it!
S.M.S. new recruit initiation rite!
Why you...
Enlisted
Are those guys for real?
What's up with that new recruit initiation rite?
They just screwed around until morning.
What's that for all of a sudden?!
Hi!
Are you sure it's okay for you to just go off on your own like this?
Aren't you too famous for that?
Oh, so you don't want to come with me?
Yeah, it's bothersome.
But I have to return to Galaxy next week, so today is my only chance.
I have to find it.
That gem conveys my feelings.
It's my precious protective charm.
Conveys your feelings?
If it's not here, then it might be in the cockpit.
What do you think you're doing,
joining the Miss Macross contest without consulting me?
Look, you even got suspended from school!
Do you know how hard I worked to get you into that girl's private school?
It's not like I asked for it.
I just want to be a singer!
You should quit your wishful thinking!
Someone as shy as you could never become a singer!
You idiot, Onii-chan!
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
Idiot!
It's no use, it seems the person in charge is off duty today.
I thought you said "leave it to me"!
Hand it over, let me talk to the official in charge of lost property and possessions.
I said stop it!
I'll be back at work tomorrow, so I'll search for it then!
Very well... then I guess I'll be keeping this as collateral.
Give that back!
Come and get it.
That's not fair!
Listen, Michael, this is an order from your captain:
Be sure to find Ranka and bring her back!
Wh-Why would you suddenly—
Has something happened to Ranka?
Sort of.
You're always like that.
Maybe if you had been that concerned about me—
That's all over now.
You're right.
It's all in the past now.
No, it's not Ranka.
Then who is it?
Luca told me that you were walking around with a girl.
It doesn't matter who it is.
Anyway, our Captain with the sister complex told me that Ranka got suspended from school.
Suspended? Geez, what did she do?
I understand, if I see her—
What are you doing?!
Making excuses to your girlfriend?
You're going out with the girl who sang on the hill, aren't you?
Going out— It's not like that!
So you aren't?
Anyway, how did you know that song from Ranka's memories?
So you really are concerned about Ranka-chan.
That's not it!
If you want to find out more about that song, then try to catch me!
Hey!
===========================================
What are you looking around like that for?
You really are popular, aren't you?
How do you know I have your earring?
Grace, my manager, recorded her vision.
Vision?
She has implants.
Are those the things that they stick in your brain?
But aren't they illegal?
Oh? They're quite common on Galaxy.
Since when did they become that popular?
Have you ever been to Galaxy before?
Yeah... I was there once as a child.
I thought so.
It's different now compared to back then.
Whether you've had plastic surgery or whether you're a cyborg doesn't matter anymore.
Then, are you—
No, not me.
I'm completely natural.
It's one of my selling points.
===========================================
No means no!
I definitely won't go back until my brother accepts my decision.
But the captain— your brother is very worried.
Where are you going?
Anywhere is fine!
This is why I hate dealing with kids.
But I can't just let her run away now that I've finally found her.
Wait up, Ranka!
This feels great!
If you keep going like that you might—
Oh? If you're going to catch me, you'd better start trying!
Then here I come!
Hurry, hurry!
All right, the woods are coming up!
Faster!
I never knew the birds sang this deep in the forest.
This area is simply astounding, isn't it?
Astounding area you say?
I think that someone like you causing havoc in the forest is even more astounding.
Sheryl!
Just what are you doing.
That's supposed to be my line, you idiot!
You pervert!
Look around!
Oh, that's right.
You just saved me again.
Geez...
What are you doing?
Don't move.
There aren't a lot of organic things aboard the ship you're from, right?
You might not have an immunity to diseases yet.
That's why this is a precaution.
That's very thoughtful of you.
It's... something I learned from training recently.
I see, are you a soldier?
I hate the army...
having to follow someone's orders even if they go against your nature.
So you're part of some private military company?
You know about them?
A little.
So you'll put yourself in danger as long as you get paid for it?
I'm not really in it for the money.
Oh come on, you can be honest. We're both professionals.
Professionals?
I'm a professional singer, and you're a professional soldier.
If you're going to put it that way, I'd prefer you call me a professional pilot instead.
The sky, huh?
I hope that someday I'll be able to go to a planet with an atmosphere
and fly in a real sky.
An atmosphere... I'm sure there'll be of a lot of different scents in it.
So it really is true.
You really don't have implants. You're just a natural human being.
Idiot!
===========================================
This song!
Sheryl?
===========================================
You see... my departed mother always sang this song to me.
The mother of my mother, my grandmother, said that it was the fated song of an ancient civilization on some planet.
From what planet?
Then do you know why Ranka...
I don't really know.
Because it was only the first time,
in this vast galaxy, that I ever encountered somebody else singing "Aimo."
How in the...
Could it be that the incident 11 years ago...
Incident?
No, it's nothing.
I guess it really is a song of fate.
That girl's singing sounded quite nice.
It was cute, but...
it also seemed sad, somewhat lonely.
I see, it's kind of like how birds sing deep in the forest so that people won't hear them.
You seem to understand her circumstances quite well.
I'm a professional after all.
Also, that girl... Ranka-chan.
She really loves you.
Hey, how could you possibly...
This is Antares 1 calling G.
The target has left Island 1 and is en route to Island 3,
with a probable destination of the Zentran Mall.
Fairy 9 has already landed on Island 3.
Report any further developments.
Roger.
Now, let me witness the power of your song.
Island 3 Institute of Alien Biology
We have observed the following from analyzing the Vajra:
Its carapace is similar in composition to the Valkyrie's energy conversion armor.
It is capable of producing folds.
It also produces missile-like objects internally on a continual basis.
But perhaps the most amazing thing of all...
is that its control system, its "brain," is very small.
What?
In conclusion, we can say that it is issued commands from elsewhere.
A biological weapon?
Assuming that these Vajra are being controlled by Galaxy...
In that case, Sheryl Nome's visit was...
Galaxy's plot...
Let's go back after eating.
The captain is really worried about you.
No way, Onii-chan has always treated me like a child,
even though another war could occur at anytime.
I just want my song to reach out to everyone.
You should stop acting so spoiled, okay?
You're being selfish. You don't even know how the captain feels when he's fighting. What nerve.
Though it's true everyone would rather forget the battle from the other day,
we can't just pretend that nothing happened.
Anyway, if you believe that you have what it takes to be a singer, Ranka-chan, can you sing right here and now?
Here in this place where no one came to see you.
Hey, aren't you done playing around?
Of course not!
I told you what I know about "Aimo," so you'd better accompany me until I'm done!
===========================================
That voice...
I give up.
Deculture!
Good going, Ranka.
That child is singing...
===========================================
Fold wave confirmed.
Cathy!
Hey!
How...
That was great.
Honestly, I was amazed.
It's all thanks to Alto-kun!
Speak of the devil...
Sheryl... -san.
Thank you, it was really fun.
That was unexpected; you thanking someone.
You're annoying, I don't do it often, so be grateful that I did.
Well then, though I'd like to ask that girl about the "Aimo" thing,
I have to return for my concert rehearsal.
Oh yeah, for next week.
Yep, my "final revenge."
This time around, I'll be singing even more than last time!
I guess it can't be helped.
I'll definitely find your earring and bring it back.
I'll be waiting, Alto.
No way.
You there!
Ranka!
Young lady!
You must be the destined songstress I've been searching for all this time!
Will you allow me to help you make your debut?
Debut?
What?
Debut you say?
Your singing shall change the world!
My singing?
===========================================
Long time, no see, Alto-kun. Are you doing well?
I'm sure S.M.S. training must be really difficult.
My manager from Vector Productions, Mr. Elmo, helped me persuade my brother,
and I finally was able to realize my dream of debuting as a singer!
Even though I'm starting at small venues, I'll still do my best to sing.
===========================================
I recently got to drive a bulldozer for the first time.
I wonder why I had to wear a swimsuit though.
===========================================
Oh! I also went to Deep Akiba dressed as a Valkyrie to sing promotional campaign songs.
Obviously, it transformed too!
===========================================
Let's go to Nyan-Nyan and eat tuna buns together, okay?
Together...
Congratulations on your 25th death.
You raised the AI difficulty level didn't you?!
Is it okay to leave things as they are, you two-timing princess?
The captain won't go easy on you if you make Ranka-chan cry.
===========================================
So when exactly will I get to fly a Messiah again?
Who knows? You'll get to eventually,
as long as you stop blowing your top.
What was that?
There, there, no need to worry. I'm sure you'll get the opportunity to fly right away, Alto-senpai.
"Right away, right away." We're not serving take-out at Nyan-Nyan.
Speaking of Nyan-Nyan...
Nyan-nyan?
Really now, lover boy.
What is it?
Now's your chance to clear up any misunderstanding...
from the last time you met.
Michael.
Ranka!
When do you think Ranka-san and Alto-senpai will get back?
Who knows?
I'm sorry for not staying in contact with you.
S.M.S. training was harder than I imagined.
Oh yeah, I heard from Luca...
You already made your debut, right? Congratulations!
I never expected you to be able to convince the stubborn captain–
your brother that is, to give his permission.
So... how does it feel to be a singer? I heard that the lessons are tough.
I hope you aren't pushing yourself too hard.
What kinds of songs are you singing?
Next time, let me listen to—
God damn it!
Welcome!
Ranka.
===========================================
This song.
Thank you, this is all possible because of you, Alto-kun.
It's all because of your words of encouragement.
Now I can fly too.
My first commercial jingle starts airing today.
Though it's limited to Island 1's Shibuya and San Francisco districts,
they say it plays in all the shops like this one around Frontier.
That's wonderful, Ranka!
Hearing my own singing makes me feel a bit self-conscious though.
Don't be, you have a nice voice, Ranka.
About last time, Ranka—
Hey, Alto-kun.
What is Sheryl-san to you, Alto-kun?
She's... Sheryl is... that's right, she's a professional.
Professional?
Yeah.
At first, I thought she was just a good singer with a wild, vile personality.
However, I never expected her to be really childish and innocent inside.
At times, she's almost like a totally different person.
Still, when she's in the spotlight, she's able to bewilder and amaze the audience.
She's truly a professional singer.
But aren't you the same, Alto-kun?
You're said to be the child-star prodigy of the Saotome family.
That's not the real me.
I was forced to hone my acting skills ever since I was a child.
Even though I was small back then,
I was able please everyone, and they praised me for being pretty. It was interesting, but still...
I gradually grew sick of it since it was merely the path my father set for me.
You seem so distant.
Even though you're right here beside me, you're so far away.
Ranka.
The truth is that I was just scared.
Before leaving the stage, I played all kinds of roles.
When you devote your mind and body to a role, you sense this formidable power creeping in.
You could say that the role itself takes over.
Am I a man? Am I a woman?
I couldn't tell who I really was anymore.
I felt that the existence known as Saotome Alto might completely disappear.
I got scared, that's why I ran away from the stage.
You will always be Alto-kun.
Whatever happens...
whatever time it may be...
you will always be Alto-kun.
Thank you, Ranka.
Don't get too familiar with this woman, Warrant Officer Alto.
This woman, Sheryl Nome, visiting here from Galaxy... is suspected of being a spy.
A spy, you say?! That's absurd!
Perhaps, but think about it.
Mere days after Sheryl arrived,
the Vajra attacked on the day of her concert.
Also, why would the Galactic Fairy insist on getting close to such a trivial, greenhorn pilot like you?
That's... because she lost her earrings.
What if that was the plan all along?
Then why would she choose someone like me?
You see...
Ranka is the lone survivor of a family of Vajra researchers on Gallia 4.
You happen to be very important to her.
Ranka?
That can't be true!
So that's why she knows about Ranka's song!
Ranka's song?
She knows how to sing "Aimo," the song that's Ranka's one and only memory.
What?
Listen, Alto...
don't further involve yourself with Sheryl Nome.
Furthermore, if she dares touch even a single hair on Ranka's head,
do whatever it takes to stop her.
195, 196, 197, 198, 199...
200, 201, 202...
203, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
What are you mumbling about?
I was counting the stars.
I was just about to get to ten thousand too.
Ten thousand? You counted that many—
You can see them?
"A sniper's eye is his life," or so they say.
Michael.
So what did you want to talk about?
Mata Hari, Stephanie von Hohenlohe, Ri Kouran, Sharon Apple.
They are examples of celebrities who were spies or
were somehow implicated in terrorist activities.
It can't be... but... she's... Sheryl is...
Seriously, you're so naive.
Are you implying that I was blinded by the face of beauty?
Giving you that "how could you?" feeling is something intelligence operatives tend to do.
You think Sheryl's a spy too, don't you?
At the very least, the possibility isn't zero.
Anyway, wouldn't you understand a woman's heart better than I?
You, who is said to be the prettiest kabuki actor in the galaxy, princess Alto.
Michael!
Truly, your talents are wasted on being a pilot.
Sheryl's Revenge concert starts tomorrow.
Whatever their scheme, they'll probably begin tonight.
Astounding area, huh?
Wow, I've never seen anything like you before.
Where did you come from?
You should follow your mama so you don't get lost, okay?
That tickles!
Wait, stop it!
Geez, you're such a child...
What do I have to do to be more feminine?
You're so sweet.
That's right, maybe I can ask Alto to teach me how to dance so I can be more feminine!
Alto-kun.
So it was here all along.
No wonder I couldn't find it.
Who would call at this late hour?
Sheryl!
Hello, this is Saotome.
I am unable to answer the phone right now. Please leave a message after the beep.
Geez, I rarely call people like this too...
Could you... come to Griffith Park?
Come as soon as you get this.
I won't let you off easy if you don't show!
What's this all about?
It took you long en—
Sheryl-san?
What are doing out this late, Ranka-chan?
I'll be starting my first mini-concert soon.
Congratulations! So you're finally getting your real debut!
No, it's nothing compared to yours. It's just a small street concert.
I just feel a bit nervous.
The more I thought about it, the harder it was to sleep.
So I thought maybe I could ask Alto-kun to teach me how to dance, but I couldn't bring myself to ask.
What am I rambling on for?
Aren't you cute?
But I...
Don't worry about it. Alto and I were just playing around.
Playing around?
Please come with Alto.
These are...
Sheryl Nome will forever be the Galactic Fairy.
Sometimes I wish I could return to who I once was.
===========================================
What?
You... it can't be...
Why?
What's happening to you, Ai-kun?
Ai-kun?
Yeah, I found him earlier today, so I took him in.
That's amazing in any case.
It definitely reacted to your singing.
To my singing?
You came from that planet, right?
That planet, Gallia 4.
Gallia 4?
That's right, don't you remember?
I was born and raised on that planet as well.
I have no memories of my childhood.
No memories?
I'm very sorry.
Ai-kun!
Wait! Wait, I said!
Sheryl?
Ranka?
Wait!
Ranka!
Stop it!
Alto?
Get your hands off Ranka!
Why? Why would you do this to Ranka?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Don't move!
I never wanted to believe it; that you're a spy for Galaxy.
Spy? Why would I...
You're here to eliminate Ranka, a survivor of Gallia 4.
You only got close to me for the sake of your search for Ranka!
You're wrong, Alto-kun.
Sheryl was just following me because I was trying to catch Ai-kun, who was running away.
Ai-kun?
You're terrible, I was wrong about you, Alto.
Hey!
Sheryl-san.
There's no doubt about it, Colonel Grace.
We've finally found what we've been looking for, "Code Q1."
However, isn't the fold wave pattern from her singing still a bit weak?
I'm actually more interested in that green creature.
There is no corresponding data regarding it in our libraries.
Perhaps it's a larval Vajra, don't you think?
Still, we should hasten our activities.
There isn't much time left.
What about the mission arrangements for tomorrow?
Fairy 9 seems to be emotionally distressed.
Please do not worry.
I give you my word that "Fairy 9," Sheryl Nome, won't only be happy, but also angry and sad.
She'll have everything that gives power to her singing.
And I'm sure that the dormant power in that other girl's singing, "Code Q1," will finally awaken.
Such admirable confidence.
Certain people have already become suspicious of you while you've been hanging around.
Aren't you concerned?
By the time they it figure out, that child will already be working for our benefit
and to my heart's content.
Roger.
Leave the investigation regarding Galaxy to us.
I'm placing you under house arrest for a day.
But...
Shut up, kid!
Even if she isn't here to attack Ranka,
she is without a doubt connected to "Aimo" and Gallia 4.
Don't approach her until we're able sort things out.
But tomorrow is Sheryl's final—
What is more important, singing or human lives?
No way...
Sheryl Nome: Final Revenge Live will be starting in 2 hours. Please be patient.
Sheryl Nome: Final Revenge Live, starting in 2 hours.
Captain, the point inspection for each section is underway,
and the outfitting of the ship has been completed.
It's seems we're going to be busy.
I sense that there might be some kind of major movement tonight.
Tonight? Does it have something to do with Sheryl's final concert?
An all out Vajra attack won't be a mere a skirmish.
When it finally occurs, it'll definitely be a heated life and death struggle.
Is that your intuition as a sailor?
The wounds of the past tend to itch whenever a storm is imminent.
Captain.
Your excellency...
What is it?
It's an SOS.
I was wrong about you, Alto.
Sheryl.
A gem that can convey...
her feelings.
What the...
Sheryl?
No...
Alone...
Don't leave me all alone.
All alone...
Don't leave me all alone?!
Sheryl!
Down, down...
All right, stop!
Check the positions of the lights from L1 to L72!
Alto!
Sheryl.
Please listen to me. I'm very sorry about the other day—
Go away!
Sheryl.
At least let me return this to you.
That's...
You may never forgive me,
and I don't know if you're really a spy or not,
but let me at least tell you this one thing.
No matter what happens,
you aren't alone!
What are you talking about all of the sudden?
I believe that these, your earrings, conveyed the feelings that were buried deep inside your heart.
How egotistical of you.
There's no reason for me to feel alone.
Sheryl.
That was a wonderful conclusion.
Now, it's about time.
What?
The audience shouldn't conceal themselves. Come out.
Audience?
So you knew all along? As expected of Galaxy's cyborg.
Captain!
You tricked me!
No! I...
Grace O'Connor.
No, Colonel Grace Godunuwa.
Under the Galaxy Security Treaty, Article 17, you are hereby detained under suspicion of being a spy.
What an outrageous tale.
What?
Listen to this closely, Sheryl.
It's almost as though they were waiting for your concert to end first.
Two hours ago, or to be more precise, at 21:13, Galactic Standard Time,
I received word that our mother fleet, Galaxy, came under attack by the Vajra.
Galaxy is...
Mayday, mayday.
Our forces on the mainland are almost wiped out.
Please, anyone, send—
Galaxy sent an SOS signal to Frontier.
However, your government decided to pretend that they never heard it.
You're lying...
My father... the government wouldn't do such a terrible thing.
Rumors are flying around at Galaxy...
that Frontier discovered the true nature of the Vajra,
and are planning to monopolize them as their own resource.
What's that?!
Is this true?!
It's true, it made me see Frontier as an even more terrible place.
No way.
Army superiors have received classified information...
that Galaxy's SOS signal is nothing but sabotage and will be ignored.
How stupid!
You understand it now, don't you?
For the sake of achieving it's own agenda, Frontier willingly violated galactic treaties,
and abandoned its own compatriots.
How could...
What are Galaxy's losses so far, Grace?
One-third of the frigates have already been destroyed.
The fall of the mainland is only a matter of time.
Why have you kept quiet about this?
I had no choice. There's nothing we could do anyway, with Galaxy so far away.
I mean, we're not the New U.N. Spacy or a private army.
How much will it cost to hire the S.M.S. for a combat mission?
What?
Answer me!
Is Galaxy telling the truth? Is the Frontier government telling the truth?
Don't you want to know who's right?
Interesting.
The Galactic Fairy wants to become a Goddess of Battle?
Don't do it, Ozma! It might be a trap!
One hundred and twenty million credits.
That will account for the use of all standard weaponry and the Macross Quarter.
The use of optional weaponry is charged separately.
That's a good price.
Here's a Vega Black Card.
If that's not enough, I'll give you the royalties from my next album.
Well, we'll be gambling our lives on this.
Lives...
What, aren't you a pro too? Do you have a problem with this?
No, I joined S.M.S. to protect those in need.
I just never expected you to spend your own money on it.
Return it to me after the mission is over.
Intact, of course.
Sheryl.
The deal is sealed! Our captain has authorized it.
Are you serious? This is why I don't support military privatization.
Warrant Officer Alto, we and the rest of S.M.S.
shall immediately commence the Galaxy fleet rescue mission.
Codename: "Galactic Fairy."
No abnormalities detected on the hull.
Defold successful.
We have confirmation of Galaxy Fleet refugees directly ahead, bearing 022.
Zooming on image.
How horrible.
The enemy Vajra seem to have a battlecruiser-class ship.
Determine the enemy force's location and composition, Monica.
Roger.
Open all channels, Ram.
Inform the refugee ships that we will be providing assistance from here on.
Roger.
Order all Destroid units to prepare for anti-aircraft combat, Mina.
Roger.
Cathy.
Yes!
Our tactics here at S.M.S. are a bit more aggressive than the army's.
You'd better prepare yourself.
Just bring it on!
All hands to battle stations!
Listen to my song!
===========================================
Incoming!
All units, Totsugeki Love Heart!
Let's go, Michael.
Formation MM Genus, make sure you don't miss!
You don't have to tell me that.
Keep focused, here they come!
Yes, sir!
It's started.
As if I'd fall behind!
Fire!
All right! Three ships destroyed!
Take this!
The refugee ships are about to reach the fold safety zone.
===========================================
What?!
Three refugee ships have been destroyed.
No survivors...
That's...
No way.
How could this happen?
M5 and 6, M5 and—
Alto-kun?
But why...
Onii-chan?!
It's me, I wanted to tell you in person,
but it's kinda hard to explain.
I have work. I won't be back tonight.
Work?
However, I promise that I'll be back soon, along with everyone else.
Don't worry about it while you're waiting.
===========================================
No way...
Then Alto-kun is also...
Is that their mothership?
Skull 4!
Get out of there, Alto!
I know, but...
we can't let them do any more damage.
If we can just destroy this one...
===========================================
This next song is very precious to me.
I think everyone here will keep living life with many new encounters and farewells.
But the feeling of not wanting to lose something important...
Sheryl-san.
Will all of you allow me to speak a little more?
I want to dedicate this precious song to a certain someone.
No... to a certain group of people.
To the people who are far away, putting their lives on the line for everyone's sake.
She knows... She knows about it.
But she still...
===========================================
This is... singing?
This light...
The Vajra forces have stopped firing.
They're preparing to fold!
Fold?!
Could they be chasing after the Galaxy refugee ships?
All hands, emergency fold.
Withdraw all units and prepare to pursue the Vajra!
Defold?
This is... Frontier?!
No way!
Why would they appear at an important time like this?
Alto-kun... Onii-chan...
They've arrived as expected, guided by those girls' fold songs.
What should we do? At this rate we'll—
Don't tell me the Vajra are headed here?
That's... Sheryl's live concert venue!
Battle Frontier, charge state: 85%.
All friendly forces within the firing trajectory, withdraw as soon as possible.
Collecting energy for the Macross Cannon.
90, 91, 92, 93...
The enemy battleship has entered our main gun's line of fire.
Set the large enemy warship as the target.
Main gun, locked on target.
All hands, prepare to fire!
Main gun, fire!
Direct hit on the target!
Wait... the target remains!
What the—
Impossible!
It's the Vajra again, why?
===========================================
It's the Vajra.
Run away, Ranka!
I think that you are the Vajra's target.
Me?
The Vajra want... me?
At this rate... At this rate, we're all going to die.
Hurry up and take cover, Sheryl!
But I'm not done yet!
Sheryl!
Over here! We need to escape quickly!
Why are you here, Alto?
What about the refugees from Galaxy?
They're fine, hurry, get on!
Alto-kun?!
The Vajra!
At this rate, everyone's... Alto's going to...
At this rate...
What if... What if the Vajra really are after me.
I... I...
Ranka!
What the...?
Is she... using herself as bait for the Vajra?
Ranka-chan is using herself as bait, Alto.
Really?
Go! Hurry!
Damn it!
Alto-kun...
Ranka!
What do the Vajra want with Ranka?
Alto!
I can still... I can still sing... even if there are Vajra!
===========================================
Sheryl?
Her fold wave has risen to level 9?
Could it be that the "Code Q1" powers, a power lying dormant inside "Fairy," has finally awoken?
What are you all doing? Broadcast Sheryl's performance!
But who would want to—
Sheryl is risking her life singing on stage in order to give us courage!
Hurry up and broadcast it to the whole ship!
We need to tell everyone that there's still hope!
Hope?
Hope!
Okay!
Start up all the remote cameras!
We're gonna broadcast Sheryl's singing to the entire ship!
Grace!
Sheryl... she's...
Sheryl...
Block B17's artificial gravity control system has been damaged!
Ranka!
Alto-kun?!
Sheryl-san?
Sheryl-san is still singing!
This time I'll...
This is Antares 1 to S.M.S. pilot,
I'll be providing assistance.
Assistance?
Antares 1, you say?
Do you copy? Then hurry up! Chase after that Vajra.
Roger!
Leave the defense of this place to us, Sheryl. You should sing as much as you like!
Okay! You don't have to tell me!
===========================================
This is bad, is that thing trying to run away?
It's the city.
Ranka.
No you don't!
Ranka!
Alto-kun!
Ranka!
Alto-kun!
It's too far away!
That's too risky!
Get down!
Ranka!
Alto-kun!
Ranka!
This is bad!
Go, Alto!
Michael!
Ranka!
Alto-kun.
Sheryl.
Alto, Ranka-chan?!
Sheryl-san!
Let's go, Ranka-chan!
Sure!
Concentrate the pinpoint barrier on the tip of our gun!
Hit it with everything we've got!
The enemy warship's fold barrier has vanished!
Now's our chance! Fire the Macross Cannon!
The Vajra army has begun retreating via fold.
We've...
Won?
Of course! This is how the S.M.S. fights!
However, we still suffered heavy losses.
Inform all sections that we will be commencing relief and rescue operations.
Roger!
Michael! Michael!
Michael...
Yo, you sure are late, Klan!
Michael.
Michael!
So this is the power of the songstresses...
This is S.M.S. Skull Squadron member, Warrant Officer Saotome Alto, to Antares 1.
I am grateful for your assistance.
I merely did what I had to do.
It's snowing!
How beautiful.
The snow of mourning.
Onii-chan!
Are you all right, Ranka?
Geez, I'm not a kid anymore.
You did a wonderful job, Ranka.
Alto-kun.
Sheryl.
Ranka.
You both sang very well.
Alto.
We managed to rescue seven of the refugee ships from Galaxy. As for the other three...
I'm sorry.
I know you did your best.
I can ask for nothing more.
You can keep it, consider it a bonus for protecting all of us.
But this is your precious—
I told you you've earned it. Be grateful and take it.
This isn't a service I often bestow.
Thank you Alto, Ranka-chan.
Now I know that I'm not alone.
Sheryl-san.
I'm not alone, huh?
