1. That thunderbolt which pierced the mighty skiesCopy !req
2. And struck the EarthCopy !req
3. Was let looseCopy !req
4. To awaken us, the young mankindCopy !req
5. Macross! Macross!Copy !req
6. Even as they protect their loved onesCopy !req
7. The youths who have bravely taken a standCopy !req
8. Will set out on their continuing fightCopy !req
9. Will you love me tomorrow?Copy !req
10. Slicing through the darkness they fly towardCopy !req
11. That blue planet that shines in the distanceCopy !req
12. Macross! Macross!Copy !req
13. Macross!Copy !req
14. It is the year 2009.Copy !req
15. The alien spacecraft that fell
to Earth 10 years agoCopy !req
16. was rebuilt by human hands as the
gigantic battleship "Macross".Copy !req
17. However, on the day that the Macross
was scheduled to be launched,Copy !req
18. an automatic defense system of alien
origin suddenly activated itself,Copy !req
19. firing the main cannon and destroying
an unidentified warship.Copy !req
20. Humanity was plunged into war.Copy !req
21. Meanwhile, Lynn Minmay, a young girl
attending the launch ceremony,Copy !req
22. and Hikaru Ichijo, a civilian pilot,Copy !req
23. have also found themselves
drawn into the conflict.Copy !req
24. At this moment, the Macross is
making its way into space.Copy !req
25. Hikaru!Copy !req
26. Hikaru!Copy !req
27. I guess all this excitement was
a little too much for him.Copy !req
28. This is Skull Leader.Copy !req
29. I left something on South Ataria Island,
and I'm going back to get it.Copy !req
30. Have some other squadron fly
escort for the Macross.Copy !req
31. What will you be getting?Copy !req
32. Well... I kinda left Valkyrie VT-102
and its pilot behind.Copy !req
33. VT-102?Copy !req
34. Now that you mention it, there was
something strange about that pilot.Copy !req
35. You think so, too, huh?
Well, it's not so surprising.Copy !req
36. After all, he is a civilian.Copy !req
37. A civilian?Copy !req
38. Oh, no!Copy !req
39. No way!Copy !req
40. This isn't something I'd want
a girl to have to see...Copy !req
41. What's wrong?Copy !req
42. You look like you're shaking.Copy !req
43. What? What is it?Copy !req
44. Don't look!Copy !req
45. What? Why not?Copy !req
46. Just don't look!Copy !req
47. Hey, Hikaru!Copy !req
48. How long do you plan on
staying here goofing off?Copy !req
49. This is the type that goes for you, huh?
Talk about bad luck.Copy !req
50. You've gotta be kidding me!Copy !req
51. What's going on?Copy !req
52. Pretty handy, don't you think?Copy !req
53. This is control. We are now
engaging main thrusters.Copy !req
54. Prepare for retrieval of Valkyrie squadron.
All units, move to landing positions.Copy !req
55. This is Mountain Three.
I am on the landing line.Copy !req
56. You're cleared to land.Copy !req
57. Hayase, are all Valkyrie accounted for?Copy !req
58. Just a moment, sir.Copy !req
59. All that's left is Major Focker and
the civilian pilot in VT-102.Copy !req
60. Knowing Focker, I'm sure he's all right.Copy !req
61. Vanessa, where are ARMD I and ARMD II?Copy !req
62. They are en route to the rendezvous point
and currently decelerating.Copy !req
63. I estimate contact in 20 minutes.Copy !req
64. Very good.Copy !req
65. Claudia, how are we doing?Copy !req
66. Right on schedule, sir.Copy !req
67. But it's strange, isn't it, captain?Copy !req
68. If the enemy fleet can launch that
kind of attack from orbit,Copy !req
69. then why aren't they firing on us now?Copy !req
70. So that's bothering you too, eh?Copy !req
71. Yes, sir.Copy !req
72. They may be toying with us.Copy !req
73. You can't be serious! Toying with us?Copy !req
74. It's just a feeling.Copy !req
75. Pay it no mind.Copy !req
76. Quit fooling around!
I'm not going to go to the Macross!Copy !req
77. Idiot! If you take her back to the island,
you'll be risking her life!Copy !req
78. And you call yourself a man?Copy !req
79. Um, my aunt and uncle are on
the island, in the shelter.Copy !req
80. If they're in the shelter, they'll be fine!
Even if this does turn into an all-out war.Copy !req
81. But I really would like to go
back to the island...Copy !req
82. Once the fighting's over,
I'll take you back myself.Copy !req
83. That is what frightens me!Copy !req
84. Well, what he means is...Copy !req
85. This is Skull Leader!Copy !req
86. Did you find what you'd left behind?Copy !req
87. Yeah. The enemy had scared him so bad,
he was falling over himself!Copy !req
88. I was not!Copy !req
89. So this is the civilian?Copy !req
90. That would explain why he
doesn't know anything.Copy !req
91. Hey, what's with the old lady?Copy !req
92. "Old lady"?Copy !req
93. She's the Macross' flight control officer.Copy !req
94. So, even Hikaru thinks she
looks like an old lady?Copy !req
95. Major Focker! I will expect
a thorough explanationCopy !req
96. as to why you let a civilian
board the VT-102.Copy !req
97. Ooh, scary!Copy !req
98. And you, Mr. Ichijo!
This isn't over for you by a long shot!Copy !req
99. What's her problem?Copy !req
100. Maybe you should just apologize.
People like her can be pretty scary.Copy !req
101. I'm comin' in!Copy !req
102. Requesting instructions... old lady!Copy !req
103. Roger. We'd appreciate it if you didn't
kill yourself when you land.Copy !req
104. Retrieval of Regult platoon
is now in progress.Copy !req
105. Only half of them are unharmed...Copy !req
106. Yes, sir.Copy !req
107. What's the enemy ship doing?Copy !req
108. It's currently ascending through the
planet's upper atmosphere.Copy !req
109. They appear be trying to rendezvous
with the space fleet from earlier.Copy !req
110. Orders, sir?Copy !req
111. It would be simple to shoot them down,
but that ship interests me.Copy !req
112. If they enter orbit, there's a possibility
they will execute a fold and escape.Copy !req
113. Yes, I know.Copy !req
114. We'll have to launch a containment attack
before they can join up with the others.Copy !req
115. All ships, prepare to fire!Copy !req
116. But why do you have to kill one another?Copy !req
117. That's the nature of war.Copy !req
118. I just don't understand the military...Copy !req
119. You did some shooting yourself,
though, didn't you?Copy !req
120. I never imagined something
like that could be inside.Copy !req
121. Something like that...Copy !req
122. Huh? Something like what?Copy !req
123. What?Copy !req
124. Uh... Here goes!Copy !req
125. Well, here we are.Copy !req
126. Sempai! What's wrong with you?Copy !req
127. Sempai!Copy !req
128. Thank you, sempai!Copy !req
129. Well, I mean, if we left something
like this on the battlefield,Copy !req
130. it would just get in the way.
So I, uh, had it stashed away.Copy !req
131. This is the plane from the air show
this morning, isn't it?Copy !req
132. Rendezvous with ARMD I and
ARMD II is complete.Copy !req
133. Now moving into docking position.
All hands to emergency stations.Copy !req
134. Well, I've got work to do.Copy !req
135. You two, stay right here. If you start
wandering around, you'll get lost.Copy !req
136. This ship is huge.Copy !req
137. Now moving into docking alignment.Copy !req
138. The enemy fleet appears to be regrouping.Copy !req
139. Very well. Fire a barrage between
the fleet and the battleship!Copy !req
140. The smaller ships are of no concern,
but do not hit that battleship.Copy !req
141. Understood! Firing will now commence!Copy !req
142. Target the enemy fleet!
Aim wide of the battleship!Copy !req
143. An attack?Copy !req
144. Yes, sir. It's coming from the same orbit
as before. 12,000 km.Copy !req
145. ARMD I has been destroyed, along with
the Miranda and the Akishima.Copy !req
146. Three ships at once?
What's our damage?Copy !req
147. We've taken no direct hits.Copy !req
148. All sections are good.Copy !req
149. What's our position?Copy !req
150. Sir. We've almost completed
a single orbit.Copy !req
151. South Ataria Island is 800 km ahead.Copy !req
152. Our current altitude is 120 km.Copy !req
153. Claudia, make it look like we're going
to land at South Ataria,Copy !req
154. then initiate a spatial transfer.Copy !req
155. You mean the fold system, sir?
But we haven't finished testing it yet!Copy !req
156. It's definitely a risk.Copy !req
157. But if we stay here, we'll be destroyed.Copy !req
158. But sir, it's an alien system!Copy !req
159. We can't just give up without trying!Copy !req
160. Put the spatial transfer...Copy !req
161. I mean, the fold system, on standby!Copy !req
162. Our target will be the far side of the moon!Copy !req
163. Check coordinates, then execute fold
directly above the island.Copy !req
164. You mean, near the surface?Copy !req
165. The enemy won't see it coming.Copy !req
166. But shouldn't we get authorization
from U.N. Spacy headquarters?Copy !req
167. This is an emergency. We'll contact them
after we've reached the moon.Copy !req
168. But, sir!Copy !req
169. Enough! You have your orders!Copy !req
170. Yes, sir.Copy !req
171. Fold system, stand by.Copy !req
172. All hands to emergency stations.Copy !req
173. Power system check shows all green.
We have power convergence.Copy !req
174. All hands to emergency stations!
All hands to emergency stations!Copy !req
175. This is not a drill.Copy !req
176. We will be executing a fold in five minutes.Copy !req
177. It sure has gotten quiet, hasn't it?Copy !req
178. I wonder if it's all over.Copy !req
179. That's one heck of a ruckus,
wouldn't you say?Copy !req
180. This sure turned into one hell
of a launch ceremony...Copy !req
181. If it's this bad down here,
things must really be rough topside.Copy !req
182. I wonder if our shops are all right.Copy !req
183. Who knows...Copy !req
184. What happened to Minmay?
Who knows...Copy !req
185. What happened to Minmay?Copy !req
186. She hasn't come back yet.Copy !req
187. There are plenty of other places
she could've escaped to.Copy !req
188. There's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
189. I tell ya, that girl's pretty sharp,
you follow me?Copy !req
190. You're really leaving?Copy !req
191. You want to go back, too, don't you?Copy !req
192. But...Copy !req
193. It's not like I'm forcing you or anything.Copy !req
194. We are ready for fold.Copy !req
195. T- minus three minutes to fold execution.Copy !req
196. I wonder what that means.Copy !req
197. Dunno. Anyway, we're leaving,
so it's got nothing to do with us.Copy !req
198. This is just a one-seater, isn't it?Copy !req
199. We'll be fine. C'mon, hop in.Copy !req
200. Put this on.Copy !req
201. Okay.Copy !req
202. Jeez, can't you even put on
a helmet straight?Copy !req
203. Hold on tight.Copy !req
204. To what?Copy !req
205. I can't see my instruments!Copy !req
206. Sorry!Copy !req
207. You shouldn't let a little something
like this scare you!Copy !req
208. See?Copy !req
209. Yeah, you're right.Copy !req
210. T- minus ten seconds to fold.Copy !req
211. Nine... Eight...Copy !req
212. Seven... Six...Copy !req
213. Five... Four...Copy !req
214. Three... Two...Copy !req
215. One... Zero!Copy !req
216. Execute fold!Copy !req
217. What's going on?Copy !req
218. What?Copy !req
219. They're executing a fold near the surface.Copy !req
220. Is that even possible?Copy !req
221. I do not know.Copy !req
222. Locate their de-fold point at once!Copy !req
223. Yes, sir!Copy !req
224. What happened?Copy !req
225. Switching to backup systems.Copy !req
226. Captain, I'm picking up an object
below the ship.Copy !req
227. Of course you are.
This is the far side of the moon.Copy !req
228. It's much smaller than that, sir.
I'll put it onscreen.Copy !req
229. The object is closing in!Copy !req
230. What?Copy !req
231. No, the ship is moving toward it.Copy !req
232. Claudia, full reverse! Hurry!Copy !req
233. I'm trying, but there's no response!Copy !req
234. This is an emergency!
All hands, brace for impact!Copy !req
235. We're floating!Copy !req
236. It's so pretty!Copy !req
237. Wow!Copy !req
238. Oh, man. The propeller's useless.Copy !req
239. It's no good.Copy !req
240. We must really be in outer space.Copy !req
241. Is this space?Copy !req
242. Is that what it looks like to you?Copy !req
243. Huh? What's that?Copy !req
244. Well, I'm sure it's nothing important.Copy !req
245. I can't tell her that we're leaking air.Copy !req
246. Let's go back.Copy !req
247. Hey, don't get so worked up.Copy !req
248. I sure hope the booster works.Copy !req
249. Here we go.Copy !req
250. We're moving.Copy !req
251. I think this is gonna work!Copy !req
252. Now then, where's the Macross?Copy !req
253. All right!Copy !req
254. Okay!Copy !req
255. Oh, no! We can't get in!Copy !req
256. What?Copy !req
257. Perfect!Copy !req
258. The remaining enemy forces appear
to have been destroyed.Copy !req
259. What's the status on the
evacuees in the shelter?Copy !req
260. They're being brought on board.Copy !req
261. Fortunately, there don't seem to be
many dead or wounded.Copy !req
262. That's good to hear. Hayase!Copy !req
263. Sir.Copy !req
264. Have you been able to contact
U.N. Spacy headquarters?Copy !req
265. Shammy?Copy !req
266. I've called them several times, but...Copy !req
267. No response, huh?
And it's not a malfunction?Copy !req
268. No. Um, sir? About our current location...Copy !req
269. You've pinpointed our location?
Where are we?Copy !req
270. We're just inside the orbit
of the planet Pluto.Copy !req
271. What?Copy !req
272. Pluto? It can't be!Copy !req
273. I said we shouldn't have tried to fold.Copy !req
274. Captain...Copy !req
275. Captain!Copy !req
276. Now, just hold on.
There's no need to worry.Copy !req
277. If we made it this far out, we can
just fold again and go back.Copy !req
278. Really, sir?Copy !req
279. What is it?Copy !req
280. But!Copy !req
281. Fine. I'm on my way.Copy !req
282. Captain?Copy !req
283. It looks like the fold system has
completely disappeared.Copy !req
284. Disappeared? You can't be serious!Copy !req
285. It's gone?Copy !req
286. But why?Copy !req
287. But that means we can't go back!Copy !req
288. It looks like we're in for a long trip.Copy !req
289. Hikaru and Minmay's joy at being
saved is short-lived.Copy !req
290. Ironically, the section of the Macross
that they have flown intoCopy !req
291. has been sealed off from the
rest of the giant ship.Copy !req
292. Not a single person knows where they are.Copy !req
293. With no means of escaping their
forced confinement,Copy !req
294. Hikaru and Minmay must watch
as time ticks cruelly away.Copy !req
295. Next time on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:Copy !req
296. "Lynn Minmay"Copy !req
297. I won't follow anymoreCopy !req
298. The shadow you cast as you run awayCopy !req
299. We all keep runningCopy !req
300. But we still can't see the goalCopy !req
301. What awaits us after today?Copy !req
302. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?Copy !req
303. Even now, I keep running towardCopy !req
304. The light that shines so far awayCopy !req
