Macross 7 is a giant immigrant fleet which set out to space in search of
habitable planets. This search has taken a long time. On the seven
residential ships there are cities, and the citizens are able to live their
lives like they did on earth. Seven years after leaving the earth, the fleet
was attacked by an unknown enemy and City 7 was isolated far away. A vicious
enemy named Sybil entered City 7. As well as putting the citizens in danger,
Sybil has possessed the body of music producer Houjoh Akiko, and she is going
after Nekki Basara. Maximillian Jenius, the captain of Battle 7, is showing
some strain at repeatedly failing to rescue City 7.

Jeez it's hot today.
What's the thermal resistance of City 7?
At most, 6000xC.
That's cutting it pretty close.
Make sure you keep a tight lid on this one with the media.
Yes.
The troubles never end.
Oh.
What is it?
It's just that, you seem to be enjoying this.
Is that the way it seems?
Yes.
That's no good. I'll be more careful.
Mayor Mylia.
I've heard the news.
We are going to be pulled into this red star in twelve hours, right?
Eleven hours forty eight minutes to be exact.
Couldn't you have detected this earlier? If you had detected it we could have
changed course!
There is a peculiar magnetic field originating from this red star. This
magnetic field was causing a minor miscalculation in our navigational radar.
We think this magnetic field is also why we have failed to make communication
with Battle 7 until now.
There's no other choice. We'll have to fold out and retreat to another space.
But, the fold system is not fully functional.
Well hurry and make it functional!
What's with this heat?
This is why I didn't want to record in Aksho!
We have to. Basara wanted to do it here and Akiko approved.
You're so selfish! What are you thinking anyway!
This is great! If we're gonna rock, it's got to be hot!
It's hot!
All right everyone, let's get ready pretty soon.
It's so cool! I feel alive again.
What are you doing? The air conditioning is on, isn't it?
I'm doing this because the air's not on!
That's the trouble with little kids.
What?
Tune your bass.
I don't need you to tell me.
You're not getting ready, though.
I will when I done here.
Do it now!
You seem to be having fun.
What's wrong? Aren't you enjoying yourself?
Oh?
You don't seem as energetic as usual.
Oh really?
Yes.
Have you been eating well?
I guess I haven't been eating much.
I realize you're busy, but..
You're worried about me?
Of course. We have only you to depend on.
Is that all? Hm? Is that all?
Is what?
You're not fair. 
What?
You're... not... fair.
Akiko... do you mind? All right, that's it for the settings. The rest is up
to you.
As that explanation should have made clear, this music has a particular
effect on the human body. We'll call this effect 'x'. Let's express this 'x'
in an equation. That should make things clearer. Using this, I have designed
a 'song energy detector'. Now let me explain the mechanisms.
Basically if we use this, we can find out where Fire Bomber is.
If we know that, we can know the accurate location of City 7.
We are currently mounting the detector onto the hyper space radar of our
ship.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for Fire Bomber to perform somewhere out
there in the galaxy.
Aren't you done yet?
We've made emergency repairs of the functional systems, but the coordinates
have not yet been set. The magnetic field of the red star has affected it
considerably.
Setting the coordinates doesn't matter. Start charging the fold energy
immediately.
Even so, it will take at least six more hours.
We don't have even eight hours until we're pulled into the star. Start
charging immediately!
Understood.
Basara!
What?
Raise the vocal track.
Yes.
More!
It'll crack if it goes any higher.
More!
If you say so.
Is this really the way you want it?
Excuse me. Keep working.
Transmission to all ships. We are about to begin investigative maneuvers. All
communication will be temporarily off line.
Are we really going to be able to find City 7 with a thing like that?
I'm not expecting any great results.
Could you keep it quiet?
Sorry.
Here it is. Definitely. We have a response.
Coordinates, please.
It's no good. I lost it.
Fold charge is at 65%. Fold is possible in two hours.
Four hours until we're pulled in. It looks like we'll make it.
The environmental controls are losing some of their energy to the fold
charger. The air conditioning has weakened. The temperature in the City is
34xC.
What about shell down? We would be able to cut off 15% of the heat from the
outside.
Impossible! The citizens will be suspicious if we shell down when there's no
fighting!
No, let's shell down. We'll tell the citizens it's a test. It's good you
thought of that idea.
I was just concerned about my wife and family in the City.
I'll make sure we all get out of this alive.
Mayor Mylia! De-fold confirmed ahead. 
It's the enemy fleet!
The enemy!
Well, that saves my having to make lousy excuses to the citizens.
The ship is heading for red star Ix-Fau-Alpha 1101. Their chance of escaping
the gravitational field is 0.002%.
It's not my problem if Gepernich's dream goes down in flames and turns to
ashes. Besides, once that is gone, Sybil will give up and come out again.
Is it an enemy attack?
Gepernich this is what you deserve for slighting me!
You're here too, enemy of all women?
Huh? What are you talking about? That's a huge sun! We're going to be pulled
in there aren't we?
That might be what happens. It's up to you.
Mayor Mylia.
Tell us what's going on.
We're charging the fold energy right now. Gamlin, I want you to defend the
power system. If they damage that we're done for.
Roger.
I'll let them hear my singing on this burning stage!
Here I go!
I have no time to play with you now. Ignore him! Our target is where the
other fighter is heading.
Anima spiritia. (Unintelligible)
Hey, what happened to Akiko.
She left earlier and hasn't been back.
What's with her anyway?
It doesn't make a difference where we take shelter does it?
Actually, the facilities in the city have weather control systems so we can
escape from this brutal heat.
Shit!
Oh no!
We're done with this area! Now it's just a matter of waiting for Sybil to
show up. Maybe I'll play with that one. Four of you follow me. The rest of
you return to the ship.
This is D-2, Gamlin. They have destroyed power systems.
What!?
The charge on the fold system has stalled at 80%.
The explosion has accelerated us. We have fifty minutes until we're pulled
in!
The surrounding temperature has risen to 1000xC! We've reached the limits of
the weather control system!
Make it rain, do whatever you have to do to lower the temperature!
Gamlin, I'm going to have you repair the power unit.
Repairs?
I can't send technicians out there in heat like this. 
But..
I'll transmit detailed data of the power unit. I'm counting on you.
Roger.
You fool! You can't save City 7 singing your songs!
Here it is! 
Did you find it?
It's planet dance.
Data output.
Coordinates confirmed. City 7 is on a course from us to point alpha 1011, at
a distance of 550,000.
The back side of that red star. One must go abroad for news at home.
Captain, City 7 is within the gravity field of the red star alpha 1101. It
will be pulled in at this rate.
Prepare to rescue City 7 immediately! Fold out at the origin of this sound!
Roger! Commencing fold charge.
Ray, what's going on?
Lt. Gamlin has begun repairs on the power unit, but it's a question of
whether it can be repaired before we're pulled into the red star.
Come on, Gamlin!
What is it, Ray? Akiko?
Here comes the rest of it!
I hear you!
Fold in!
Thirty minutes until we enter the star. 
Gamlin, aren't you done yet?
It's a fairly difficult repair, but I'll do my best.
Basara, I am giving you a mission. Cooperate with Gamlin and repair the pipe.
Basara!
What is it?
It's Battle 7!
They're late! What were they doing until now?
Fire! Fire at once!
Captain, we're under attack.
Begin transformation.
Prepare for transformation.
Don't let that ship transform! Fire! Fire!
Shoot it down!
Energy charge for the cannon is complete.
Countdown begin. Ten, nine, eight, seven..
They're going to use the energy cannon again? Fold this ship immediately!
Fire Macross Cannon!
Ten minutes until we enter the sun! The surrounding temperature is 4000xC!
Hurry!
There's no rain water left, even. It's getting hotter in the city all of the
sudden.
Is Akiko going to be okay?
Yes. We're almost at the hospital.
The surrounding temperature is beyond 5000xC! Sections of the shell are
melting. Less than five minutes left!
Battle 7, come in! 
This is Max.
We have to fold right now or City 7 will melt!
We can't right away. Battle 7 just Macross Cannon. It will take at least
another 60 minutes to charge.
City 7 won't last that long!
Calm down and think! There has to be some way.
Hey you two, what are you fighting about? We're working hard down here!
Basara!
Max, City 7 has 80% fold energy left. 
If we connect the power system to the auxiliary tank on Battle 7...
We can fold!
Gamlin, let's do it! If this is all it takes to lay you out, you need more
training.
Shut up! Let's go!
Shit! It's so hot!
Sing a song, you'll feel better.
It's the woman!
Basara, run!
Gamlin, hurry with the power pipe!
Basara!
Did his singing chase that woman away?
Darn!
Surrounding temperature is 6500xC. City 7 can't..
Mayor, we're done with repairs!
Roger. Max, the repairs are finished!
Fold energy has been transferred!
Fold!
We managed, Nekki Basara.
Yeah. Hey, what's with your face?
What about you?
I look better than you. 
That's not true.
Mylene will have a big laugh when she sees you!
That's not true! Mylene is not like that!
You just don't know her.
No, you don't know her.

Why are you keeping me out of Sound Force?
You're a girl that's quick to fight!
I want to fight with singing too!
Singing isn't fighting, it's heart!
Next time, Sound Force.
Radically Fire.
