Time to resume the story! I know it's been a long wait that I have delayed it, but here it is, and to one who requested that Chyna and Fletcher will kiss- you'll get it, but that's in a future chapter.

Brera has suddenly come back out of nowhere, and wants to talk to Alto regarding why Alto was acting strange. What next? Read on!

Also this might be the last chapter of the Macross Frontier world tour. Enjoy!

As Fletcher and Freddie were whisking off the girls to safety, Ranka was shouting Alto's name. Chyna said, "Ranka! Snap out of it! Alto isn't a good guy like before! Forget about-"

"I can't..."

"Why not?"

"I loved him!"

Carly then realized she was right, and it was the same thing that happened to her during the time Sam and Freddie were dating.

"Wait, she has a point!"

"Carly..."

"I had that same feeling of never being able to say my true feelings before I took the person for granted. I understand you Ranka... You still love him, despite someone else taking his love."

"I never knew you'd say this, but you do have a point, Carly."

"Thanks Chyna."

Fletcher heard about it and said, "Well, I'll go back and talk to him too." Then he called Ozma, "Sorry Skull Leader, but we have a problem to fix!"

"Fletcher! Come back!"

As the Valkryie flew the opposite way, Michel then said, "Let them be. I know those kids are trying to fix something here."

"I will see to it they solve the problem and come out with a solved one. Skull 2, Skull 3, let's go back to base."

Michel and Luca said in unison, "Roger!"

Back in the landing spot, Alto finally sighed and said, "It's a long story, but here I go."

Flashback

I was drifting in space after the Vajra migration, with nowhere to go. All of a sudden, someone who's a blonde girl, a bit younger than I am, offered me a way back to the Vajra planet that we colonized.

I can still remember her words...

"I'll bring you home to where the girls are. But you should start working for me. I will reunite you with Sheryl Nome, and you will live like you never lived before."

"What do I do in return?"

"Never ever see Ranka again, if you want to spare her the heartache. The only thing you'll be doing is that if a girl named Chyna comes to your world, capture her and send me Chyna. That's all you do. Don't stop until you get her for me!"

"I will do your bidding. Just leave Ranka alone in the mission."

"Consider it done!"

Then all of a sudden, I was suddenly back in the Vajra planet with a new Valkyrie fighter. I knew that she wasn't kidding, and I started to do what the mysterious blonde girl told me.

End of Flashback

"That's your reason? All to capture a girl named Chyna and bringing her back to someone you don't know?"

"I'm sorry, but I deserve to be sent back with the Vajras. Do your worst."

Brera then punched him in the face and said, "You don't deserve to go back with them. You deserve to go back to my sister, even though you did this selfishly."

"You mean-"

"You took up that deal so you can go back to the Vajra planet to see Sheryl Nome, and live with her while making my sister worried for you, thus you did that task for your own selfish want."

Just as Brera finished the sentence, Chyna, Carly, Ranka, Freddie and Fletcher landed and the girls got off. Ranka then approached Alto but then said, "Brera?"

"Ranka, I took care of the realization part. Now you have to convince a bit more."

"Alto-kun! Tell me you're lying that you're forced to do it, did you?"

"I'll be honest... I was only thinking of myself when I came back. I had many thing I wanted to say to you and Sheryl... but I didn't know that it will hurt you when I knew the only thing I have to do to keep my word with the one that brought me back here will result in you coming back for me and hurting you. Ranka... I'm sorry for being selfish..."

Ranka then hugged Alto and said, "Alto-kun! I forgive you! I just wanted to let you know... I loved you so..."

"I loved you too Ranka. I just was looking at the wrong person... when it was you all along that I loved."

As the characters were happy at the outcome, Freddie approached Alto and said, "Alto, I've been there. I also had my feeling locked up to myself waiting for Carly's declaration of love, and now, I can relate to you."

As Freddie and Alto shaked hands, he said, "Welcome to the team."

Fletcher said, "I'm glad this is fixed Chyna."

"Not quite Fletcher, he still has to go back to the SMS and fix things with them."

Chyna then said, "We should go back to the Macross Quarter now, shall we?"

"Will they still accept me back?"

"We could try."

As they flew back, Chyna and Carly were thinking how they have been doing a good job bringing people back together, but at the same time, they still have to find a way to get back home.

When they got back to the Macross Quarter, the crew were waiting at the landing point. As they landed, Alto got out and said, "I would like to apologize for giving you guys a big amount of trouble."

Captain Wilder said, "No worries, you didn't do much trouble, just the whole trying to get Chyna part. But rest assured we can give you another chance to catch up."

The rest of the crew nodded with agreement, but Ozma begs to differ. He walked up to Alto and said, "I'll just say this..."

He then punched him on the face, making Alto fall down, and the rest of the cast gasped. Alto said, "What was that for?"

"Welcome back Alto. That's all."

Ozma helped Alto back up and said, "We have a lot to catch up, so get ready!"

Alto just saluted. The rest of the gang was happy for him. Then, Alto came to Catherine and said, "Catherine, I decided that I should make you the new President of N.U.N.S. I don't need the job anymore; I decided to go join my new friends in their adventure."

Catherine said, "I understand. Hope your adventure goes great, as I know it'll be a great one to explore unheard places."

"Thanks. But I have to go soon; I have a bone to pick with."

Carly said, "Is it Sheryl?"

"Yes."

But then Ram and Mina said, "We have a problem! Sheryl's on the screen now!"

"Now?"

As they go in the bridge, Sheryl was now waiting on screen and she said, "I heard you two are back together, Alto, Ranka. Well guess what- I got the colony hostage. If you want them to go free, bring Chyna with you and hand her over to me. Try to stop me, you cheater!"

Alto said, "Chyna, We should stop her. But I'm not giving you to her. Fletcher, Freddie, Carly, Ranka, back me up there."

They said in unison, "ROGER!"

Ozma, Michel and Luca also volunteered to help out so they can get the people out of the way. Captain Wilder said, "Ok then, it's settled. Operation Kill the Mockingbird is a go!"

Chyna then said, "Well, I have an idea that will rock Sheryl's socks off. Carly, Ranka, are you up for it?"

Carly said, "What plan?"

Ranka said as well, "Is this something you have in store?"

Chyna replied, "You know girls... the plan."

Sheryl and other N.U.N.S. soldiers were on the wait on the city's biggest park. Many civilians were all gathered up and some were excited, some were scared, some confused with the commotion. Sheryl was getting impatient with Alto's arrival and she said, "If he doesn't come soon, I will turn this colony to my own little kingdom where they will all bow down to me."

Then Alto's Valkyrie has arrived on the scene in Gerwalk mode and the window opened to show Alto and Chyna riding it. Alto said, "Like I promised, here's Chyna. I kept my word and here she is."

"Good. Now hand her over."

As Chyna got out of the Valkyrie and walked her way to Sheryl, Chyna said, "By the way Sheryl, mind I ask you something?"

"What do you want? Hurry up because you're coming with me."

"Mind if I let you know..."

Then Chyna did a backward jump towards the stage and said, "... If you'd like to listen to our song?"

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

Then floodlights of different colors brightened the place and then more Valkyries showed up. Ranka and Carly stood up once their Valkyrie windows opened up and Chyna said, "Everyone! Embrace each other, to the ends of the Galaxy!"

Ranka:
The water's surface quivers
A ring of wind spreads
Your fingertips feel the
The blue current

Sheryl ends up asking, "What is the meaning of this?!"

Carly:
With only a glace
That lonely acceleration is
One moment that breaks into pieces
I love you

Chyna:
Like clear pearls
The tears within you are shed
It's a tragedy and it doesn't matter
I want to live with you

Chyna, Carly and Ranka:
Sparkle!
Ride a shooting star
It dives with you
In a dark blue starlit sky
We're like fireworks
Our hearts shot through with an arrow of light

The crowd was shouting cheers for the 3 singers. Fletcher, Freddie and Alto were even enjoying the song, with Fletcher adding, "Chyna really looks amazing singing." Freddie and Alto agree as well.

Chyna:
I hide inside
The silence and
Read your thoughts
This wonderful night

Your name is like a spell
I repeat forever
My nails dig into
the palm of my hand that I hate

Chyna, Carly and Ranka:
Sparkle!
Your whole body is clear
It drifts like a picture
A drop of life but
We're in the moment
In the galaxy of our souls, snow falls

Carly:
Ride a shooting star
You suddenly rise
In a dark blue starlit sky
We're like fireworks
Our hearts shot through with an arrow of light

Ranka:
A drop of life but
We're in the moment
In the galaxy of our souls, snow falls

Chyna:
In the galaxy of our souls, snow falls

As the song ended, many people in the park were cheering for the 3 girls, and even the Soldiers left Sheryl's side to enjoy the performance. As they landed, Chyna was amazed that she really brought in a crowd.

"I never knew I'd be loved by millions in this world, It's like I still felt like I was still with Trifecta, only with 2 of my new friends from 2 different worlds!"

Sheryl was annoyed and she said, "You may have belted out your best performance, but I will admit, you did better than me, but that doesn't mean I'm trough with you. I will come back to make sure you'll be captured!"

Then another portal opens and Chyna said, "That's the same portal that Sam walked in! We got to follow Sheryl on where that portal leads!"

Alto then warned, "Don't. There's a bad effect if you try to follow her."

Ranka said, "You mean..."

Luca said, "There's a field that only allows those summoned by the portal to go in. We can't all go inside and follow Sheryl."

Alto said, "Well I beg to differ!" as he ran towards the portal as Sheryl went in backwards but the portal deflected Alto's attempt as fast as you can say 'sweet nibblets!' Luca then said, "And there you go."

Fletcher sighed, "Well, he wasn't kidding."

At the N.U.N.S. building, Alto said, "Well I will have to pass the leadership to you Catherine. I know you'll do better than I do."

"Thanks Alto, I will not let you down."

Alto then announced to all the citizens, "Today, I will be stepping down from my position as president. From this day on, Catherine Glass will now be your president, as I have to go on a journey that might a long time before I come back. I assure you she will lead you all to peace and prosperity in both the colony and the Vajra planet."

The citizens shouted with joy as Catherine is now president. Ozma said, "I'm proud of you Alto for giving your position of power to my girlfriend. But why did you decide to do so?"

"I'm joining these 4 youths on their adventure towards the worlds. I may have wished to fly the endless skies, but this one will take me further. Besides, Chyna and Fletcher have a long way back before they finally come home to their own San Francisco."

Chyna said, "You're joining us to the way back?"

Ranka then interrupted, "Well not just Alto. I decided to join too."

Omza then asked, "Why did you decide to go with them?"

"I figured out I want to join them, not just to stay with Alto, but to spread my song towards the worlds."

"In that case, take care, and Alto, take care of my sister."

"Roger!"

As they take off in Alto's YF-30, Carly, Freddie, Alto, Ranka, Chyna and Fletcher wave and say their goodbyes to all of them. Somewhere, Brera saw the flight and said, "Take care, you two. If anything bad happens to her, you'll be sorry you came back." At the same time, he got on his Valkyrie and took off.

Fletcher said, "Where do we go next?"

Chyna replied, "We'll see where the next destination on the World Hopper will take us." She then opened a new portal to the next world...where will they end up next?

Back in the mysterious dimension, the Mysterious Being is annoyed at Sheryl's failure. "What do you mean you failed at getting Chyna?!"

"Sorry, I thought Alto had forgotten about Ranka, but they interfered and you know-"

"Shut it. I thought you're the galactic fairy, but you're just a song the falls on deaf ears."

Sam ended up laughing at her fellow teammate's failure, but the Mysterious Being said, "What are you laughing about Puckett? You failed too! Don't think you're great when both of you were failures in your worlds!"

"I only failed since the power of true love overridden Freddie's brainwashing. You happy now?"

"Good to admit your failure, but I'm bringing someone else for the job. You're dismissed. "

As Sam and Sheryl left, the being said, "Well you two are up. Don't disappoint me."

One almost-ugly girl with a British accent and a Filmmaker shows up and the girl said, "Well, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

The boy also added, "This is my time. She'll be sorry for what happened... and the little boy too!"

"I know what you two mean... do your job. But make sure that girl comes back with you!"

The two said in unison, "YES MA'AM!"

Now that the Macross Frontier world story has come to a conclusion, where will our heroes end up next? Who are those two people the Being sent them to do the job? And most of all, will Chyna and Fletcher finally be able to go home at last?

Also, the song that the 3 girls sang is Interstellar Flight from Macross Frontier by Megumi Nakajima (Speaking and singing voice of Ranka Lee in the show). The song was translated in English for the readers.
