Macross Galaxy:
the 21st Giant Immigration Fleet that embarked a few years before the Frontier.
Major companies drafted the plans and included all the cutting-edge technology they could provide in its construction,
so that even during its long voyage, the Galaxy Fleet continued to innovate,
thus becoming a fleet with unprecedented technology, such as cybernetics and implants.
But even the Galaxy, when attacked by the Vajra...
Mayday! Mayday!
Those blasted insects have taken the main island!
Please－
No anomalies detected within the fleet.
De-Fold successful.
Signals for Dulfim and Kaitos detected off the stern at coordinates 02.
Displaying visuals.
How terrible...
Captain, our first priority is to rescue the surviving ships,
but it's just as important, or perhaps even more important, to gather data on the Vajra.
Should I take that as orders from the president, rather than from the New United Nations?
That would be excellent.
Advancing slowly.
Geez.
I'll keep that in mind.
All hands, prepare for combat.
Hey, guys! Should we start culturing?
Sheryl!
Sheryl-chan!
We're culturing!
M-5 and 6.
M-5 and...
Welcome to my Good-Bye live concert.
Alto-kun?
Though I was here for only a short time, it was nice meeting everyone here on the Frontier.
Sheryl!
Thank you.
A lot happened, and it seems I've worried you all.
Sheryl-san.
But I'm all right now.
Tonight, I'll be zooming at Macross speed, too!
So...
Listen to my song!
Skull Leader to all units.
We're the military's vanguard,
and so we've been ordered to gather information on the Vajra.
The prototype Fold communications guidance system is working well.
This way, the Vajra won't be able to jam our transmissions.
Roger that.
All right, Alto, you stay back as far as you can.
Wait a second!
I can do this too!
You hatchling.
Then you'd better stay close enough to smell my ass!
They're coming!
All units, Planet Dance!
Simon, John, Peter, go!
I'll be going out ahead, Michael!
Don't start crying again just because you lose sight of me.
Shut up, Klan!
Stop bringing that up. I was just a kid.
Bingo!
Stay focused! They're coming!
Y-Yes!
With such a heavy Armored, he's...
You won't leave me behind!
Take this!
Clear a path, Kanaria!
Roger!
Rabbit-1 to Dulfim!
I'm going to land on your deck.
Dulfim here! Go easy on us!
König Monster, securing to B deck.
Anti-shock protection!
Let's do this!
Rabbit-1, commencing interception.
Those who don't want to die need to get out of my way!
König Monster!
Go to hell, monsters!
Wow.
Stay focused!
We need to help the heavily-damaged Kaitos escape first! Got it?
R-Roger!
Fold data link with the Frontier confirmed.
Fold communication, data link in good condition.
The lag is plus 40.
The 1st Attack Force has engaged the Vajra in combat.
The Hyperion and Crios are deploying the 2nd Attack Force.
Kaitos damage ratio, 45%.
Many are injured.
Send the rescue team at top priority.
The monitor's curve is bad. Check it, please.
How is it?
Wonderful. The Frontier's spacy is doing well.
It seems they're better than we thought.
No. I'm talking about the live.
You hacked into the connection to eavesdrop again, didn't you?
So, how are they doing?
Take a look.
This is almost real-time.
Sheryl!
Alto-kun, why aren't you coming?
The concert's so wonderful...
Brother?
It's me.
It's something I should have told you in person, but I couldn't get myself to do it.
I've got work. I won't be able to go home tonight.
Work?
But I will keep our promise.
Don't worry. Wait for me.
No way...
So, Alto-kun's also...
It seems the pilot you're interested in is doing well, too.
Don't get the wrong idea!
It's the Galaxy I'm worried about!
And if a pilot's job is to fight,
then my job is to sing!
Kaitos, evacuating from battlefield.
Distance until Fold safety zone, 450.
If it weren't for this Fold fault, we could have freed it earlier.
Dodge it, Peter!
What?
Kaitos, sunk.
Any survivors...
No way...
It went directly through the Fold fault?
How could this be?
Is that a Vajra battleship?
Finally...
Their mother ship?
Skull-3! Luca! Don't go in too far!
I know.
But if I could just get in closer...
A beam launcher?
No, with this Fold energy signature...
Could it be... a Fold reactor?
Luca!
Skull-3 has been lost!
Skull-1, what happened?
The enemy ate Luca!
Ate?
Was he shot down?
No, that ship captured Luca and swallowed him.
Luca!
It's finally our last number.
Everyone, this is goodbye.
Though it went by fast, I had a wonderful time.
I don't know if we'll ever meet again in this vast galaxy, but...
No way...
Sheryl-san...
Sheryl!
There's no way that I'd cry!
That I'd...
Sheryl-san!
Say, everyone, can I ask you guys a favor?
I want to dedicate this last song to someone...
No, to a group of people.
To those who are risking their lives far away.
Sheryl-san knows!
She knows, and yet...
She knows, and yet she's...
And I want you, too... to sing with me.
Thank you, everyone!
I love you all!
Alto?
Stop!
What can you do on your own?
Alto! That ship is like a hedgehog!
Hedgehog or not,
once I get inside...
That idiot's crazy!
Kanaria! Michael!
What's with that unit?
How reckless!
Captain!
What are our chances?
That thing's slow. Right, Ram?
Yes.
I've simulated it from the data Skull-3 gathered.
We're faster than them at maximum speed.
Miina-kun.
All sections are green.
Although it's the first time after the remodeling, it should work.
Monica-kun.
I've put together an evasion program based on its firing patterns.
Please leave the navigation to me.
Wait, Captain!
It's too dangerous. Even if our pilot's inside...
That's not the only thing to consider.
If we run away, the Dulfim's crew will be annihilated,
and we will never find out whether the Galaxy is safe.
But!
Commander Glass. You do remember the orders given to you by the president, right?
We still have the means to fulfill it.
Over there.
Cannibalism?
No, this is...
This is Quarter.
Notice to all deployed forces.
This ship will now enter close-quarter melee combat with the Vajra mother ship.
Melee combat?
Looks like it's time.
All units, protect the Dulfim with everything you've got.
We'll take on the boss.
All ships, transformation!
This ship will now undergo transformation.
Everyone, please commence the shift to emergency mode.
Main reactive furnace, output increasing.
Fractal Module System, activate.
Captain! I haven't been fully convince—
Watch your step.
Be careful.
Captain!
Bobby!
Show them why, despite being 400 meters long, the Quarter's been given the Macross name...
Or rather, show them why, despite being a Macross, we are this big.
Okay, Boss.
Let's hit it!
Luca!
Wait for me, I'll be ri—
What is this?
Singing?
Luca!
Hold on, I'll rescue you right away!
S-Senpai...
It's coming!
Move it!
So they're the ones in the way?!
What?
Take this!
All right! You're mine!
Skull-3 and 4, come in!
Macross!
We've come to pick you up, Princess!
Ready the Macross Cannon!
Skull-3, ejection confirmed.
Charging Macross Cannon.
This is the Quarter?
Blow them to bits!
Eat this!
How about that?
This is how the SMS fights.
I do acknowledge your military prowess.
But First Lieutenant Alto's actions and the Quarter's forceful operation will be an issue later—
Oh... congratulations?
Captain, a telegram from the Dulfim.
We thank the strenuous efforts of the Quarter and the SMS.
Thank you!
Thank you, everyone!
For god's sake, doing something that reckless...
I'll grill you for that later.
But a job well done, Alto.
That unit...
Ranka transfers to Mihoshi Academy.
But it was a forewarning for yet another storm which will hit the school.
Next time: High School Queen
Song of violence, echo across the galaxy.
