Macross 7 is a giant immigration fleet that set out through the galaxy
in search of a habitable planet. The inhabitants of Macross7, are
comprised of the Earth Unified Army, and approximately 1,000,000
citizens.  However, due to an unknown phenomena, City 7, was separated
from the main fleet. Docked onto City7, is a small block known as
Akusho, not registered on the fleet roster. <shot of Basara> On Akusho
lived a rock-vocalist known as Basara Nekki.<end shot of Basara> Of
course, Basara is not a registered citizen, concerts aside, he has an
unfortunate tendency to jump in the middle of a battle, and start
singing during combat. However, the motive for this behavior is a more
of a challenge, unto himself--a challenge he stakes his life upon in
pursuit of an infinite dream--his music. Unfortunately, neither his
allies, nor his enemies truly understand Basara's motives, actions, nor
his music. Even then, he continues to sing, as Nekki Basara is one man
that is not easily discouraged.<fade to black>

<fade in: Mylene is sitting on a chunk-o-rock.>
<evil laughter is heard throughout space.>
<enter Gamlin, or Gammy, our hero>
Stop! I won't let you lay a finger on Mylene!
<boom>
Mylene-san, are you all right?
Gamlin-san, you are the only one that I can count on.
If its for you, Mylene-san, this is nothing.
Gamiln-san...
Mylene-san...

<Gammy sits up in bed>
I can't believe I just dreamt...

<Basara singing (did you want me to translate this?)>

The Little Devil that's Falling

<gammy flashback>
I...was planned to come rescue Mylene-san, when...of all things...I was
shot down.
Are you OK, Gamlin-san?
Mi-Mylene-san!
I heard that you were shot down and so I....your wounds, are they OK?=20
Yes, I am unhurt. I had them examine my brainwaves, just in case.
Oh! good!
Gamlin-san, If you got hurt during a time like this...it would be a
major setback for us...
This time!....This time!, I promise, I'll destroy the enemy!
please don't push yourself too hard. <giggle>
It is time for your medicine.
Well, I need to turn in a report, so I'll be going....
<bang>
I..why...?

and....?
all injuries are typical of what we see in combat related
wounds....That's what I'd like to say, however, there are some
irregularities in the patient's brainwaves. This is the first record of
such an incident.
His anxiety level seems unnaturally high...Its almost as if he's
extremely frightened of something.
Ahh!...Its a Woman!...

Fujita died in the skirmish, and with Lt. Kinryu in that condition, the
Diamond Force is now.....

<nurses>
Do you know that Guy who was driving the Battleroid?
yeah, Of course! I'm a fan.
really! he was awsome! didn't he drive the enemy away?
so they were enemy ships?
see? you don't know what we're talking about!
I do too! The Fire Bomber, right?
All right. Then what was his debut piece.
Planet Dance!
...Fire Bomber...


Bazara, its time!
Look at the time. Don't you have to go?
I don't want to go....
Ray, what are you doing with that?
<start Ray:>
Mm? The song you sung yesterday, and that other one, that Golryo heard.
 <I guess this is in reference to a previous episode, I don't quite know
how to translate it>
I'm researching them. The key is in the music. (honest, no pun intended.
That's the translation) The element that was affecting IT.
</end Ray>=20
Affecting IT?
I don't know what that glowing globe was, but its obvious that your
music had some kind of an impact on it.
gimme a break.
see ya later.=20

We have established contact with Battle 7
Patch it through.
Your first priority, as the army, is to protect the citizens! Do you
mean to tell me, you weren't able to carry out your duty!
I told you, we were just barely able to establish communication now.
We've had a lot of problems on this end.
I don't want to hear it. When the reinforcements finally arrived
yesterday, they were powerless against the enemy. I'm REALLY glad I can
count on the army in tight spots.
Once we regroup, we'll be there as soon as possible.
We will be waiting for your arrival.
whoa...wait!...and...how is Mylene?
I suggest you come and talk to her directly.

Don't take your eyes off the monitors.
Yes sir!
Page the Commander of Einstein.
Because we are leaving this sector, I need to discuss the revision of
the commander schedule.
Roger!

Mm..well, this seems to be as far as it can go.
No..it doesn't seem to be working. With the processing power of the
computer here at the City Office, this is the best we can do.
Whats the matter? All computers are the same.
Nevertheless, we don't have enough data. With just this image
sequence...
You saw it didn't you?
Maybe.
There's no way you could have missed it at such a close range.
I don't know! It didn't seem dig the music though.

Sample's Fold System is out of commission.
that can't be helped
We must fold Sample with our own rescources.=20
Sivil, that's your job.
Sivil, the fact that you're already in charge of directing a major
operation is proof of Gepernich's confidence in your abilities.
That is irrelevant. I will use your battalion.
Ho! go ahead!
Anima Spiritia....
That sensation!....I must confirm it!

Basara?
Mm?You are..Junior Lieutenant Gamlin correct?=20
y-yes
If you're looking for Mylene, she's not here now.
ah-well
Mm?
oh, am I interrupting?
well, you're welcome to stay, if you like.
what is that?
well, you may not understand, Lieutenant, but I'm researching the effect
music has on human behavioral....uhm...well how should I put it? Well, I
guess you could say I'm searching for the magical element in music.
The secret to music?
yes..
<flashback>
Is..something wrong lieutenant?
ah no....I'm pretty sure a friend of mine is doing a similar experiment.
Really? He must be the eccentric type.
Yeah, well, he's a soldier named Chiba.
Soldier? I'd like to meet him one day.
yes.
this music!...Basara!...-san's music..
what do you think?
uh, well...
seems you have strong feelings about it.
ah..well..
Probably the first time you've ever seen such a dirty room isn't it?
huh..uh well
Mylene also practices here as well.
re-really?
ah-uhm,would you, ah, mind telling me why mylene-san plays in a band?
you don't notice?
please listen closely...
aren't they percisely in synch?
huh...
normally, they have opposite personalities, and they argue all the time,
hm...
For some reason, when they start singing.....
argue...
<holds a ticket up>
would you be interested in coming to a concert? It's more like a
involvement pass, but..
hm...

<commercial break>

excuse me....coming through....
is it always this crowded?
<sits on a bench>
Mylene-san...

All right! Formation Z! initiate!

<siren>
There here!

Let's go! <Basara jumps off the stage>
<fan in the first row:>Basara's coming through, everybody give him room!

<Basara:> sorry guys!
<crowd:>
Basara, go get them!
we're counting on you!
<end crowd:>
<Basara:> Idiot, I'm going to make them listen to my MUSIC!

...and what about the VF-17?
sorry sir, its still under repair.
What are you doing over there?
sir, we don't have the necessary equiptment to perform the repairs, we
need more time...
Mylene-san! this way.

We're going to take the whole ship and fold them. All units take fold
positions!
Hold Areas have been set.
All right, prepare to power-up energy.

ten medium-sized ships, many smaller ships!
They have taken positions around City7
We have indications that they are building up significant amounts of
energy.

What are they planning to do..?
They're trying to fold us...
But, I thought City 7's folding capability was lost..?
No! those medium-class ships are trying to force City 7 to fold!
Wha-what!
If we don't do something, all of City 7 will be transported!
BATTLE 7! WHAT THE ARE YOU DOING?!
We will proceed to City 7 immediately.
Immediately? How long is it going to take?
Immediately!
Battle 7 will go to protect City 7
Sir! We haven't completed the repairs for Section C
Unless it's going to affect our ability to fold, we're going to have to
put a make-shift patch on it, and get by. We don't have time.
Roger!
Enter Hold position. Initialize energy build-up.
Roger!

This time, I'll let you listen to the sweet melody!
<bursts into a song>

Go Basara..
Mylene-san, where are you headed?
don't worry about it.

wow, I didn't know such classics still existed.=20
Did you find it in some history museum?
huh, What are you?
What do you think? I'm going to get in!
that's crazy!
I  beat some enemies with this machine! I was the highlight of the
battle!
What...
I have to go!
I'll go!
but...i'm better with these machines...
I am a member of the Diamond Force.
well,...ok
Mylene-san, I will demonstrate my skill in combat for you!
This is my chance to repay them.
uh, did you say something?
uh...no, its nothing.=20

Mylene, get outta here..
huh!
its me. Leave this up to me.
Dammit! you've got it all wrong! don't interrupt me!

We have finished powering-up for the fold.
All right! Discharge fold energy at full power.

what the...?
this is....!

The city!
Where is Battle 7
<beep>
Its Battle 7!
They're LATE!
agreed.

damn! take attack positions, Frantz Formation, immediately! we dont have
time. Full speed ahead! We'll ram the nearest enemy ship!
*gasp*
HURRY!

we were too late!

What was that?
Sir! we were hit by an enemy ship.
Due to the collision, the coordinates have been shifted. The Samples
have not folded out at the intended site.
Where are they?!!!
We cannot detemine this.
That Bastard! I'll kill them!
Commander Gigile, the reason we cannot is because we fired a
Apha-KA-class-variable-type destruction number K-Z-F energy bolt. If we
proceed to engage the enemy, our probability for victory is 0.3%
Damn!

So we've been blown to another section of the universe again?!

Go Basara!
Fire Bobmer!

Hey! dammit! listen to my music!

Shoot! This is the limit!? No power whatsoever!
don't disturb me!

Gamlin-sam!
<boom>

She hit me!

ARAGH! my invaluable Valkyrie!

Man, not again! stay and listen to the whole thing!

<crowd:> hey, Basara did it!
He won again.

<crowd:>
Its starting its a Saturday Night.
How are you doing tonight?
Its all right,
do you feel the beat!
This is a floating para-dise!
half-forgotten.....

What are you so mad about! everybody was treating you like a hero!
what's wrong with him?
Mmm I guess we all have our own problems.

I guess Mylene saw me go down....

END

Next episode:
Oh my gosh! The City Office has been attacked
What?! me, on TV?
Gamlin-san, this isn't a time for a date! Save my mom!
next episode, a life-threatening date.
I fire shots like a maniac!
