Wings of a New Dawn
Book 1 of the New Macross Saga
A Robotech Story brought to you,

Author's Foreword:
Well! I never thought I would ever return to this little piece of insanity. However here I am after several years running around in the Gundam SEED Fandoms and a few others. I never in my wildest dreams did I think I would return to this and rewrite it. Yes! I am rewriting this not like my rewriting of Honor of a Knight into Angelic Dawn but just adding some stuff, fixing others, and generally making this a better story in the end.
However I really should back up and explain how I came about this decision. Well at first it was trying to figure out what I was going to do for this year's National Novel Writing Month the past few years I have done stories for Gundam SEED therefore I figured I should do a Robotech or Macross story this year since I was kind of getting a bit tired of Gundam in general. It was during one of my many times thinking about this that I came upon the idea to finally see about doing the sequel to this story. I then took a look at this story to get some further ideas and I was appalled at some of the stuff I had written. Granted the story is good overall but I have drastically improved my writing over the years since I finished this piece therefore my overall reason for this rewrite. I really don't think it will take long at all. Maybe a month to six weeks tops to rewrite this, since I am using the original writing and just adding or removing pieces along with fixing many errors that exist in this story.
Now the reason for my renaming this story since I am not really totally rewriting the story is that I chose the previous title in a moment of desperation therefore I was never happy with it. Too Sappy for my Taste if I remember correctly, also since I am doing a few stories based on this story I thought I give it a new name along with a series name. What is the New Macross mentioned in the series title you ask? Well that is something going to be introduced in the second story, my NaNoWriMo 11 story Wings of Freedom and is not going to be what will become New Macross City on Earth during the aftermath of the War. Sorry folks no freebies.
Moving on, since I have been on a general Macross high for the last few weeks thanks to watching the new Macross Frontier Movie, I am going to add some general Macross elements to the story. Similar to how I did the same in Long Road. This includes the full-on UN Wars or Unification War as I am going to call it, during the time from the crash of SDF-1 onto the planet and roughly a year and a half before the launching of the SDF-1. Also thanks to this Roy Fokker won't be famous for his time in the Global Civil War but during his service in the Unification War instead. In fact I am not even going to have him in the Civil War that is Gloval's and Pop Hunter's war instead of Roy's. Oh! Also the SDF-1 will be named the Macross not because it was the planned name for the ship but named for the Island where it was rebuilt and the city that becomes its heart and soul. Speaking of the Global Civil War I am having it instead of happening all the way up to the arrival of SDF-1, I am instead going to have it replace the Cold War of today's world. It also is going to be a series of smaller wars and conflicts, like Vietnam which is one of the major reasons for the start of the Global Civil War. This war finally ends about 1993 to 1994 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, similar to how the Cold War ended, and basically brings the war to a close thankfully before any nukes started flying.
Speaking of Pops and the rest of the Hunter Family, they along with some of my OCs will be a bit different in this story from Frozen due to my general younger views on the characters have changed over the years. Not to mention some new info that has come out over the years, like From the Stars and other similar comics. I can't believe that I put the city of New Carter in Northern California which is where Pop Hunter's Flying Circus is located at according to From the Stars. Anyways moving on some of my versions of the canon characters will be changed as well, like Lisa will not be trying to kill herself after her first date with Rick went wrong and I am introducing some new characters from the games, yes Savior fans Jack Archer and crew will be mentioned, as well as some from the extended world of Macross as well.
One final note here, the term Robotech Defense Force (RDF) is going to mean something different than what it means in the normal Robotech series. Basically it is the title of the elite formation of the normal United Nations Defense Forces, centered on the SDF-1, its crew and the use of Veritechs along with other Robotech mecha. Eventually the regular UNDF would receive Veritechs and other mecha basically making the RDF any force operating with the SDF-1. The UNDF comprises the UN Army, the UN Navy, and the UN Marines. The Macross UN Spacy is basically the UNDF Orbital Defense Fleet which eventually becomes the UN Spacy or UN Space Navy. Later on the story and into the sequel the term of the Robotech Defense Force falls out of favor for the handful of RDF units on the planet making them more part of the main UNDF, while RDF becomes the force centered on the SDF-1 Macross. The reason behind this is that I liked the idea of the RDF being a small elite force inside the larger UNDF and it kind of makes sense to me for the only people we see part of the RDF or called this is the crew and pilots of the SDF-1. The ranks for the RDF are a bit different then what they are in the series, though still similar. Basically there is no Third Lieutenant; instead there is the Naval based Lieutenant and Lieutenant Junior Grade with Ensign a grade under that. Pilots are bit different though and any of the newly trained pilots graduate with the rank of Warrant Officer before jumping to Ensign after their Third Combat Mission. None of that Corporal and Sergeant crap they have in the series.
Alright I do believe that is all I really wanted to say here. Therefore I shall leave you all with the revamped Frozen in Time, Wings of a New Dawn! Enjoy!
Story Opening is Macross the original opening to Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
Summary: Rewrite of Frozen In Time. As the SDF-1 approaches Earth, two members of its crew find love, but it may not last as dark forces wait in the wings ready to bring down the SDF-1 once and for all.
Chapter BGM is the SDF-1 Theme from the Robotech Prefect Soundtrack

In the relative barren space of the Earth-Luna System the large and powerful form the SDF-1 Macross slowly moved through the emptiness of space towards the planet that was the home for its human crew, or rather just their birthplace for the Macross is currently their home. Inside the mammoth ship one Lisa Hayes sat in her bed thinking of that one kiss. Her feelings, always so confused and sad, turned from her long dead fiancé Karl Riber to the pilot Lieutenant Rick Hunter, someone who had saved her life two times she knew about, for there maybe a few others when the young Veritech pilots fought the enemy around the ship. He was also someone that Lisa started to care for him deeply and started to like him very much, which she wanted to explore further and find out if it could turn eventually into love. Lisa her heart finally calm after years of turmoil leaned over to the side of her bed and picked up a picture from her nightstand, it was a picture of her and Karl before he left for Mars Base Sara and his later death.
"Good-bye Karl," She whispered to the picture as she sits the picture, always not far from her, face down on her dresser. Suddenly the door beeped announcing a visitor and dragging the young woman out of her still somewhat troubled thoughts. Lisa wiped her eyes before getting up from the bed she had been laying in ever since she returned from the reward ceremony and moved to answer the door. As it opened she saw that it is her good friend Claudia Grant, still wearing her dark green duty uniform from the ceremony. With a small sad smile Lisa stepped back from the door to let the other woman into her quarters.
"Are you alright Lisa?" Claudia asked with a worried tone as she entered the quarters. Lisa sighed as she turned and sat back down on her bed before looking up at her friend with a helpless expression on her face.
"Yes, but I may need your help Claudia. I'm sure you heard how we escaped the Zentradi ship and read my report on our interrogation?" She asked and with a raised eyebrow once again asked herself silently why she included that part of the interrogation in the report. Claudia nodded confused wondering where this was going, though she did have some idea and hoped it was going to be what she thought it was.
"Well I think I am in love but I really don't know how to approach it," Lisa continued with a light embarrassed smile making Claudia's jaw drop in surprise for she had a guess this was going to happen but she never thought Lisa was going to actually go through with it. She quickly snapped her mouth closed and shook her head with a small chuckle at her friend.
"So you are in love with Lieutenant Hunter aren't you?" Claudia asked in return with a giggle, and in response Lisa just nodded with a blush gracing her entire face making it look like some sort of ripe tomato.
"Well…well…well I guess you better wait int'l you are sure that he loves you in return," Claudia stated with a motherly smile and a small little victory dance in her head.
'Just wait till Roy hears this!' she thought in confines of her own mind thinking that her lover was going to be just as excited as she was currently at this new development.
"But Claudia what happens if he doesn't love me back, I have already lost one love and I don't want to lose another. I don't think my heart can take it," Lisa finally replied after getting her blush under control and her embarrassed smile turned into a sad frown. She turned once more and picked up Karl's picture again looking down at it with a mournful sigh. Claudia sighed at this that victory dance in her head falling flat on her face at hearing this, before sitting down next to the younger woman and threw an arm around her shoulders making Lisa lean against her.
"Don't worry about this Lisa. Roy is going over to check up on Rick, I'm sure if Rick does have a thing for you he will tell Roy. You know how close those two are," Claudia softly said as she gently took the picture from Lisa's hand and once more sitting it down on her nightstand.
"Remember what I have always said during the last few years: You can't be stuck in the past you need move forward or you will never have a full life. I am sure Rick at least has some feelings for you and if he does then he will tell Roy about them. Now I owe that wonderful boyfriend of mine a dinner, so I shall be off, but remember Lisa don't worry over this and things will unfold on their own," Claudia mentioned as she got up and patted Lisa on her shoulder before turning leave. Lisa only nodded at this before getting up to let the other woman out and then getting ready for bed.

On the other side of the base one Lieutenant Rick Hunter was indeed thinking about Lisa and his emerging feelings for the young Commander. He was also thinking about both the one kiss in front of the Zentradi Commanders and later in the cell in front of Max's disguised Valkyrie. He knew that he would never be with Minmei, no matter what his still latent feelings said about it, since she was now star and it took a lot to see her something he was getting tired of. However as he thought more of his relationship with Minmei he figured that he looked at her more as a little sister and a good friend than anything else.
Then there were these new feelings he started having for Lisa, which were something else entirely and he personally vowed that he would start treating her with a little bit more respect for he knew he had been a kind of a jerk to her in the past. Suddenly his door beeped announcing that he had a visitor. With a tired sigh Rick got up from lying in his bed to answer the door and wasn't really surprised to see that his so-called big brother Roy Fokker stood at the door with a concerned expression on his face. With a shake of his head and a roll of his eyes Rick waved the older man into his quarters.
"Yeah Rick. You alright?" Roy asked with some concern as he entered the small quarters. Rick sighed at this as he took a seat once more on his bed with his face in his hands. Roy sat down next to him with some fatherly concern or more of a brotherly concern for his young protégée and adopted little brother.
"I'm fine Roy, it is just I think I'm in love with someone but I am so confused with it. I already figured out that the feelings I have for Minmei is just some sort of brotherly affection not a real love. However this new woman makes me feel more…. I don't know…alive," Rick mentioned with a frown as he tried to find right way to say what he was thinking. Roy beside him blinked in surprise and then suddenly grinned.
"So that is it the, you are in love with Commander Hayes! I'm I right Rick?" Roy asked with a large belly laugh. Rick blushed bright red that went all the way down to the back of his neck and embarrassingly nodded his head answering the question.
"Well…well…well! I'm surprised it took this long Rick, but something is still bothering you bro, what is it?" Roy responded after getting over his belly laugh but frowned sensing that something was wrong.
"Well first of all Roy, I'm not sure that she likes me at all, for look how much we fight and everything. Not to mention I called her an old sour-puss when we first meet! God! Why would she like me at all after that? Then there is that she outranks me!" Rick said as he ranted with a shake of his head. Roy just nodded at this before starting laugh once more surprising Rick.
"First of all brother of mine. Yes the two of you have fought but look at your parents, god they are sometimes at each other's throats! That is what you get with falling love with a strong woman! As for the rank thing, don't worry about that the RDF is a little looser over stuff like that then the regular UNDF military. Don't know the reason why for that, but I am not complaining, I found Claudia in the RDF so why should I complain about it," Roy said with a smile and got up to leave but not before ruffling Rick's hair making the younger man laugh at this as he tried to fight off the hand.
"Also Rick you know all about my so-called love live and that I have been a playboy going after every woman I see, however that is me not you and is something I plan on moving away from in the near future. Be yourself and perhaps you will be surprise at what happens," Roy seriously said looking down at the still sitting Rick before leaving the quarters leaving Rick with his own thoughts over what Roy said before he finally started getting ready for bed.

Later that night in Claudia's quarters the couple sat down and compared notes with each other on the relationship with Lisa and Rick. Both smiled at what they saw and rewarded themselves with wine and a dinner. Then they proceeded to fall asleep together with their arms wrapped around themselves wondering what was going to happen with this newfound relationship between two of their dearest friends.

Cockpit
VF-1J Veritech "Vermillion One"
March 16, 2010AD
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
The next day found Rick strapped into his rebuilt red and white VF-1J Veritech was on patrol with the rest of Vermilion Squadron. Max and Ben in their respective blue and orange Veritechs were on his wings. While the other six planes of the squadron were split up into two other flights patrolling around the SDF-1. Rick still couldn't believe that his small three-man squad had been upgrade into a full Veritech Squadron, granted it was currently understrength but Roy had told Rick earlier that day that the first few pilots in the new training class from the SDF-1's makeshift flight academy would be earmarked for Vermillion Squadron to make into a full squadron.
As he continued fly along his patrol route Rick started to once more think about a certain brown-haired Commander and wondered if he could ever get together with her. However he soon was jolted out of these thoughts by the same brown-haired commander.
"Vermilion One, this is Gunsight One report your progress," Lisa asked from his right lateral COMM screen. Rick frowned at this behind his faceplate and bit-back what he wanted to say before he blinked as he got an idea something he never even thought of before. With a sigh he turned his attention to Lisa's image on the monitor to get the easy part out of the way.
"This is Vermillion One Gunsight, nothing to report but rocks and space dust Commander. No sign of the enemy," he reported calmly to Lisa who raised an eyebrow at his formality but smiled lightly anyways.
"Understood Vermillion. Be aware that Vermillion Seven and his team have spotted an enemy Recon Pod a few minutes ago," Lisa mentioned with a nod of her head. Rick blinked in surprise knowing that was the reason for the unexpected check-in. With a shake of his head Rick mentally prepared himself for what he was going to do next but as he thought about panic started to make his way into his mind.
'JUST DO IT HUNTER!' He screamed at himself in the safety of his mind before turning his attention once more to Lisa.
"Commander can you transfer to TAC-Two please," he asked formally surprising Lisa who looking confused complied with his request. TAC-Two was the day's private and scrambled communication channel, for Rick really didn't want everyone on the damn ship knowing what he was about to, granted he knew that everyone on the bridge would hear him but that didn't bother as much as having the entire ship knowing.
"Alright Lieutenant, we are now on TAC-Two. What is going on?" Lisa said after a moment as she transferred over to the more private channel.
"Errr…Lisa would you like to have dinner with me at the Macross Electra." Rick managed to stammer out as he looked away from Lisa's face on the screen. He cursed himself for stammering but he was expecting Lisa to say a straight no or coldly berate him for asking her that. However neither happened so he turned back to see Lisa staring back at him through the screen wide-eyed and surprised. Rick as he looked at her started to notice that Lisa was indeed beautiful, and wondered why he never noticed this before now, but soon figured out that he was so focused on Minmei that he never noticed before how pretty Lisa, or any other girl around him for that matter, happened to be.

SDF-1 Macross
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Meanwhile on the bridge of the SDF-1, Lisa stood frozen at her station looking down at Rick's image on the monitor wondering if she heard what she thought she heard from him. Claudia was chuckling lightly next to her at her own station. Captain Gloval who was drinking some coffee at the time that Rick asked her out, now he was wiping away coffee from his face for he had did a spit take with his coffee while he was drinking when he heard what Rick had asked her. After shaking his head with a small smile he quickly ordered a nearby crewmember to clean up the mess who quickly went to work leaving the main members of the bridge crew staring at the frozen form of Lisa waiting for her response.
"Umm… Lisa are you alright?" Rick asked after several long and drawn outs moments had passed. However Lisa was still standing at her station stunned at what she had just heard from Rick, something she had convinced herself would never happen.
'Oh my god! I'm I dreaming or did Rick Hunter just ask me out for a date?' Lisa managed to think to herself. Suddenly Claudia stepped over to Lisa's side and guessing what happened punched her lightly in her right arm bringing Lisa back down to Earth. After she shook her head to clear her thoughts she suddenly realized that Rick was staring back at her waiting for an answer and twitching impatiently as the conversation ran past the five minute mark. As she recovered from her earlier vapor-locked mind she suddenly realized that the ENTIRE Bridge crew was looking at her with grins gracing their faces, even Captain Gloval was grinning as he got up to get another cup of Coffee from the urn that held a permanent station near the back of the bridge. Meanwhile the Trio, Sammie, Kim, and Vanessa were giggling at each other while staring at Lisa with big grins on their faces. Lisa blushed at this attention before turning to look back down at her station were Rick was still awaiting her reply.
"Answer him Lisa!" Claudia suddenly hissed from beside her as she got impatient herself for her answer. Lisa looked over at Claudia with wide eyes before nodding and finally turning her attention to Rick on the communication monitor.
"I'll be glad to go with you Rick to the Electra. What time would you pick me up then?" She finally managed to say to Rick after a few false starts. With a smile she noticed that he looked quite relieved and quickly smiled back at her.
"Umm… 19:00 would be good, since that gives me time to make the reservations," He replied sheepishly with a smile rubbing the back his head. Lisa just chuckled at this with a shake of her head before nodding.
"Right see you then Rick," Lisa replied with a smile of her own making Rick literally melt in his cockpit seat. Lisa then blushed before waving and signed off before jolting in surprise as the Trio cheered loudly and laughed. Claudia at her side leaned across Lisa's station and grinned up at Lisa with a proud look on her face.
"Told you so Lisa," Claudia teasingly said with a wide smile on her dark face. Lisa blushed again at her friend's remark. Suddenly she started to worry once more as she frantically tried to figure what she had to wear to the Electra, for she couldn't go in jeans and a shirt for it was one of those fancy black tie places where you had to be wearing something nice or you wouldn't be allowed into the place. All she had was her uniforms, a handful of plain skirts, and some other normal civilian clothes she managed to buy in Macross City. With a sigh Lisa made a mental note to ask Claudia to help her once the shift was over before turning her attention once more fully onto her station and job.

Back out in space, in the cockpit of Rick's VF-1J the young pilot pumped his in victory and put his fighter through few loops just for the hell of it. Soon after he pulled up from the last loop the faces of his two wing-mates suddenly appeared on his lateral COMM screens wondering what that was about.
"Jeez, Boss what was that all about?" Ben asked with a surprised look on his face. Max on the other hand just smiled for he had a good idea what had happened.
"Yeah what's going on boss?" Max asked soon after Ben, but smiled when he said it. Rick looked at both of his friends and was about to tell them to mind their own business, but stopped himself for they are his friends and his wing-mates who he trusts his life with everyday. They deserved to know what was going on with their commander and friend as well.
"Well I just asked Commander Hayes out for a date at the Electra… and she said yes!" He finally replied barely managing to contain his excitement over this. It was well know by his two friends that he liked the Commander, but this was something else. Ben's looked flat-out surprised and shocked, but Max just smiled knowing what was going from a mile away ever since he stumbled into that cell seeing the two of them kissing.
"Well then I hope you enjoy yourself then Boss," Ben replied with a broad smile on his face as he recovered from his surprise. Max only chuckled in response but then it faded as their sensors lit up as enemy Pods appeared and started to scream towards the three Veritechs of Vermillion Squadron.
"Crap! Lieutenant, Pods are approaching us from Blue-Seven!" Ben yelled out in surprise. Rick nodded at this as he calmly left his excitement behind and switched his COMM once more over to the Command Channel.
"Gunsight One! Gunsight One! Vermilion One is reporting enemy pods sighted! Permission to engage?" He yelled out into his helmets built in boom mike as he started to maneuver around to confuse the enemy as they approached. Lisa's face once more sprang up on his center COMM screen, however this time it was all business for the still new couple.
"Understood Vermillion, you may engage at will," she ordered with her usual stern command tone. It soon disappeared however as she started to worry about Rick.
"Please be careful Rick," Lisa suddenly said surprising Rick but he only nodded and gave her a smile.
"Don't worry Lisa, I'm too stubborn to die and not to mention I finally got you to come back to don't I," he said with his roguish grin on his face. Lisa chuckled and smiled blowing him a kiss through the monitor before signing off. Rick blushed at this but soon turned his mind to the battle.

"Lisa please launch the Veritechs, Claudia power up the barrier…" Gloval stood up from his chair coffee forgotten as he started to snap out orders to his crew, but of course his well-trained bridge crew was already in action following his orders before he even gave them. Gloval chuckled at this and sat back down in his chair. Luckily the SDF-1 was still in Attack Mode so he didn't need to Modular transform the ship to use the Main Cannon if he needed it. With a few minutes after Hunter's report the mighty battlefortress was primed and ready, with the Veritechs screaming to intercept the enemy, while the heavier Destroids were lumbering out of their own hangers to take position on the two flattops and while several others locked themselves into prepared defense stations elsewhere on the hull. Finally the barrier started up making the three spots of light appear on the hull of the ship. Gloval smiled knowing very well that the almost two years since that fateful jump to Plato had his crew have the fastest response time than any other crew he had the pleasure of commanding.
"Captain! A force of enemy pods are have broken through the Veritechs and are heading towards us!" reported Kim from her station at sensors. Gloval nodded getting up from his chair once more to stare out the viewport at the pinpricks of light that he knew to be the approaching Pod force.
"Right! All Units, Open Fire" he ordered swing his arm out in a slashing motion towards the viewport at the approaching enemy. Lisa only nodded at his order and relayed it to the Destroids while Claudia relayed it to the SDF-1s own small CIWS guns. A beat later saw the space in front of the SDF-1 flare as the tracers lit it up brightly. Several seconds after that saw only alien wreckage where the pods had once been and Gloval allowed himself a small smile.

Meanwhile Rick and the rest of the Veritech wing were once more fighting for their lives. Rick cursed as a gray and white Veritech blew up next to him. He brought his fighter around the edge of the engagement trying to pinpoint his wing-mates through the various explosions, wildly maneuvering fighters and pods, tracers, particle beam and missile contrails. He quickly spotted Max through all of that because he like always was the center of the attention, so in other words he was in the center of a large group of pods calmly tearing them apart with both missiles and gunfire from his gunpod. However Ben looked to be trying to dodge a group of six pods on his tail. Rick only sighed at this before he growled as he dived into the battle taking on two of Ben's pursuers with his gunpod as he descended. Rick then dropped down behind the remaining four pods and fired off a several Hammerhead anti-mecha missiles from their pylons underneath the wings of his fighter towards the enemy mecha. The small and nimble little vessels quickly caught up with the pods and rammed into the desperately maneuvering pods destroyed them. Rick allowed himself a smile at this performance as he brought his fighter alongside Ben's.
"There you go big guy your clear. You need to be more careful buddy," Rick said into his boom mike which transferred his words over to Ben. The other pilot could only nod shakily at him through their two cockpit canopies and across the space between their two fighters. Suddenly Roy's face sprang up on his center communication screen.
"This is Skull Lead. All Veritechs it looks like they retreating so let's break off and return to base. Good job people, another job well done," Roy said with a smile behind his helmet's faceplate. Rick nodded at this pleased and turned his Veritech back to the SDF-1 following the blue thrusters' trails of the other Veritechs of the group. His two wingmen quickly came up on either side of him as he did so. Rick turned his head to look over their fighters to see if everything was alright. He saw that Ben's looked like it was really beaten up, no surprise after getting chewed up by several pods, meanwhile Max's had not even a scratch on it. He also saw two planes coming up beside him as well in similar livery to his own and flinched knowing that those fighters were the only two left of the rest of his squadron.
"Alright Vermillion Squadron, you heard the Commander let's head on home. Our work here is done, and you all did great!" Rick managed to say to his remaining squadron as they started to follow the rest of fighters towards the SDF-1 and home.

Back on the SDF-1's bridge the crew was slowly coming down from their battle high as the battle ended. As the Veritechs started to come in into land Lisa looked up at the Gloval and caught his eye.
"Captain Veritech Group has started to return and it looks like we lost about ten planes sir. Of course we have to wait till debriefings and final assessments till we know the final tally," Lisa reported her post-battle report to Gloval like always after a battle. As she did so she could see a look of sadness come across the Captain's face at the numbers, granted it was pretty small compared to past battles but it still saddened the captain to have to send out those people, most as young as sixteen, to die. Lisa silently turned back to her station after his approving nod and then started looked for Vermilion Squadron on her display. She soon found the five remaining fighters at the rear of the Veritech formation closing towards the ship. She sighed with relief when she saw the blip labeled with Vermilion One leading them.

After the end of the battle and the shift ending found Lisa in her quarters were she was fussing over what to wear for her date with Rick. However she barely had any nice clothes since she is a military officer and had only brought a small amount of civilian outfits with her when she arrived at Macross Island during those early years. This has since expanded thanks to shopping with Claudia and the Trio during their free time in Macross City over the past few years. Even then she couldn't decide what to wear of her very small amount of nice dresses, and was about ready to cry over the frustration.
"Lisa…Lisa this is only your first date with the man!" Claudia said laughing from her spot daintily sitting on one of Lisa's very few chairs in her quarters. Lisa stopped and looked over at her with a frown before looking down at the small pile of nice dresses and such that were currently lying on her bed as she tried to decide on what to wear.
"Well that's the reason why I want to be prefect Claudia," Lisa replied with a worried frown on her face with one the only dresses she had originally brought with her in one hand and a nice strapless dress she had found in Macross City in the other hand. Claudia just sighed with a shake of her head and stepped past Lisa to look into Lisa's surprising stuffed closet. With a shake of her head in disbelieve at the various shirts, skirts, and other civilian clothes stuff into the tiny closet alongside her various uniforms before suddenly a dress caught her eye that had been stuffed in the back of the closet. Blinking in surprise and shock Claudia pulled it out from the closet before turning to Lisa still looking between the two dresses she held in her hands.
"Lisa? How about this one?" Claudia asked softly looking down at the very nice satin light blue strapless dress with a silver lining around the edges. When Lisa saw it her eyes widened in surprise for it was the same dress her mother had worn to her first date with her father and later dates after that. She had received it along with a few more of her mother's things during one of her shore leaves to visit her father during her time on the island. As if she was in a daze or dream Lisa dropped the two dresses she held to the floor before taking it from Claudia to inspect it further. After several moments Lisa smiled before turning to look at Claudia with a radiant smile on her face.
"This is the prefect one Claudia," Lisa stated quietly to her friend looking back down at the dress before lying it onto the bed as she started to undress. Claudia could only nod in agreement with this before starting to help Lisa put it on. What Claudia saw after getting Lisa into the dress made her breath go away, for Lisa in this dress looked some sort of goddess and knew that Lisa was correct this was perfect dress.
"God! Lisa you're beautiful in that! This is the prefect thing for Rick!" exclaimed Claudia with a chuckle leading Lisa to the quarter's small mirror. Lisa couldn't believe her eyes for she looked almost exactly like her mother in the picture when she was in this dress. She could almost hear her mother's approval from the ever after.
"Right Lisa! It is time to get to business and get you ready for your flyboy!" Claudia exclaimed happily as she pulled Lisa into the bathroom to finish the magic.

Quarters of LT Richard Hunter
Pilot Barracks, SDF-1 Macross
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Back in his own quarters Rick put the final touches on his bow tie before turning to look at Roy who leaned against one wall of quarters with a lazy smile on his face. With a shake of his head Roy stepped forward and made a few tiny adjustments to the tie before stepping back once more and nodding in pleasure.
"There we go that is it," Roy said with a nod of his head pleased that the single tuxedo he had managed to get during his time on Macross Island fit Rick better than it did him. Granted he did buy it from a second-hand store, but still it kind of irked him some.
"I still can't believe you asked her over the radio instead of in person. That took some serious balls Rick to do, true you did have her transfer over to a private channel, which saved most likely your ass from getting in trouble," Roy mentioned with a shake of his head as he once more leaned against the wall eying his adopted little brother. Rick only chuckled at this before turning to at himself once more in the mirror nodding pleased at home he looked.
"Alright then looks like I am now ready! See you later Roy and thanks again for letting use this suit," Rick said as he started to rush out of the quarters but was stopped by Roy's chuckling.
"Don't forget the flowers little bro," Roy mentioned pointing to the mentioned dozen roses sitting by the door. Rick only blushed in embarrassment at this before rushing back out leaving Roy alone. Roy smiled at the younger man's excitement before locking up the place and leaving for his own quarters hoping that everything went okay with the two of them.

Quarters of COM Lisa Hayes
Officers Barracks, SDF-1 Macross
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
In the small bathroom of her quarters Lisa heard the buzzer at door and took another long look into the mirror to see if everything was good. Claudia, Sammie, and Kim smiled proudly behind her as they started clean up the mess they made to get Lisa ready for the date. Lisa looked at them and the mess they caused getting her ready with a worried glance.
"Don't worry about it Lisa we will take care of this. You need to get your man," Claudia said with a smile followed by Kim and Sammie. Lisa nodded and went to the door as the buzzer went off the second time. She opened the door and saw Rick standing there with a bouquet of a dozen roses in one hand and his other hand on the buzzer control. When she opened the door he froze up and looked shocked staring at Lisa like she was some sort of angel. Lisa smiled at him and decided to break his shocked silence.
"So Rick are these for me?" She asked with a smile indicting the roses in his hand. Rick then finally shook off his shock, and then nodded handing Lisa the roses.
"Am I dreaming?" Rick asked with a frown after he finally managed to get his voice back. It sounded so cute that Lisa laughed in his face.
"No you're not dreaming Rick Hunter," Lisa replied with a soft smile on her face and pinched him making Rick flinch. He then suddenly smiled huge and gallantly gave Lisa the roses, then offered his arm. With another pleased smile Lisa took his arm while handing the roses over to Claudia who just popped out of the nearby bathroom to later put into a vase. Rick then led Lisa to his car outside the base parked in his assigned parking spot. The car unlike many of the vehicles in Macross City had not been recovered with Macross City but instead built entirely by the ship's internal factory. It like the recovered and rebuilt vehicles sported a small protoculture engine allowing it run without damaging the ships air supply with car exhaust.
"After you milady," Rick said opening the passenger door for her. Lisa smiled at this looking around the car with a shake of head.
"How come fighter jocks always love having a car like this?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow in question. Rick just chuckled at this as he slid into the driver seat not bothering to directly answer her. Instead he smiled at her before starting the car and revved the engine to answer Lisa's question. Lisa chuckled and sat back in her seat as he Rick pulled away from the base and headed away from the base towards Macross City.

Macross Electra Restaurant
Macross City, SDF-1 Macross
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Rick pulled into the Valet parking of the Electra, which happened to be an expensive restaurant that been one of the first major restaurants built when Macross City was first being built. Rick right in front of the Valet platform and got out of the car running to the other side to help Lisa out but one of the Valets beats him to it. The Valet a blond haired stocky man turned to look over at him, and nodded briefly to Rick. Rick only smiled and handed his keys over to the man. Rick then took Lisa's arm and headed into the restaurant with its bright lights and brilliant music. The walls and the roof of the restaurant showed a sunrise, which was another EVE projection like the one above Macross. Rick led Lisa up to the maître d and smiled at the little man behind the podium.
"Name please?" the man asked in a thick nasal voice, which sounded like it went through a flute and a bad one at that.
"Rick Hunter, for two," Rick answered with another polite smile. The man looked down at his list and soon saw Rick's at the bottom of the sheet. He nodded and motioned one of the hostesses over to him. The women dressed in a very expensive two piece dress came up to them and grabbed two menus from the slot on the side of the stand.
"Right this way Mr. Hunter," the women said as she took off in into the sea of table's before them. Rick and Lisa followed the women to a nice two-person table in a far corner of the restaurant. Rick thanked the women and pulled Lisa's chair out from the table then when Lisa was fully seated, he sat down himself. Once that was done like any man went right to looking at the menu trying to decide what he wanted. Lisa just shook her head at this before taking another look at Rick making her frown for something had been bothering her ever since Rick had asked her out.
"So Rick what about Minmei, do you still love her?" Lisa questioned after several moments of thought. Rick looked up at her from the menu surprised at that question.
'Were the hell did that come from?' he ask himself with a frown before shaking his head and neatly closing the menu and sitting in front of him.
"I still love her, I always will but she is more like a sister to me nowadays than anything else. If you heard lately on that program MBS had running on her, she called me her very close friend instead of her boyfriend, even when that reporter threw the question about me and her getting married sometimes in the future she just laugh about it," Rick answered truthfully as he gazed into Lisa green eyes, for it had been that program that made Rick take a step back and take a long look at his relationship with Minmei. What he found there was nothing something he liked and therefore started to look away from Minmei finally to see stuff he had been blind to the entire time. Lisa just sighed at this pleased that he told her the truth, it still hurt and it something she had to think about in the near future, but for now she just wanted to enjoy herself. Suddenly she noticed a young man that looked awfully familiar to her walk out to the middle the Electra's small performance stage which usually sported the small in-house classical band but tonight it held something different.
"Ladies and Gentlemen it is a great honor and privilege for me to present to you tonight the lovely Miss Macross herself Lynn Minmei!" the same young man spoke excitedly into the small microphone in his hand. Rick groaned and hit his head on the table he completely forgot to check the restaurant's performance schedule, not to mention completely missed the signs all up over the restaurant. Now he knew why the place was so packed on a usual slow night and how hard it was to get the reservation not to mention the weird look some of the people in the place had been giving him. He was now afraid to look at Lisa, but he did anyway and saw that she was pissed- really pissed. It soon melted as she started to cry before jumping up out of her seat and running for the woman's bathroom. Rick stunned look at her seat for a like five minutes and then dropped his head into his arms with a depressed sigh. A few minutes he felt a slim feminine hand fall onto his shoulder surprising him, at first he thought it was Lisa coming back. However as he lifted his head he saw that it wasn't Lisa instead it was Minmei in a nice silver lace Chinese styled dress, who had just got done singing her two song performance for the night.
"Hello Rick. Why are you so down and why are you alone I would thought that you be here with somebody?" Minmei asked with her usual bubbly smile looking down at seated form. Rick just sighed and leaned back into his chair.
"I'm here with Lisa or was anyways, but when she saw you come out she got pissed then got up and ran into the bathroom," he replied with a frown shaking his head as he covered his wearied face with his hands. Minmei just blinked in surprise before sighing and pulled a chair from a near by empty table.
"So Minmei, please tell me now straight do you still love me?" Rick asked with his eyes closed as he rubbed his forehead. Minmei took a deep breath to calm herself before looking towards Rick.
"Rick I will always love you, but as a very good friend to me. Some one to lean against when times are bad and to hold hands with when that person needs it. Rick you a very, very close friend to me and you always be. I'm sorry I never told you this earlier but I thought you would upset with me for thinking this," she finished with a sigh leaning back please she managed to get that out she was then surprised when Rick grabbed her hand and smiled at her. Since for the first time in a long while Rick felt whole and complete knowing what he had just heard. Rick nodded before squeezing Minmei's hand with a small smile on his before sadly looking towards the woman's bathroom before turning his attention back to Minmei.
"It is the same for me too Minmei, but mine is more of a brotherly love then anything else and no I am not mad at you. Really just angry at myself that we never really discussed this," Rick said with a huge sigh of his own. Minmei sighed with relief as she leaned forward to hug Rick.
"Anyways I need to run, I have another engagement I need get to and I am already going to be late for it. Just be patient with Lisa and she will come back after she realizes she is being stupid, however if she doesn't give me a call for I have a free day tomorrow that Aunt Lina insisted I take. I can explain everything to her for you," Minmei said getting up from the seat and leaning down to kiss Rick on the cheek. Rick smiled up at Minmei both pleased that she is willing to help him and that she was taking time off so she doesn't become overloaded.
"Yes that would be great. I will wait here for about another hour before I start heading back to base. I can tell Claudia about this and she can join you tomorrow, if she doesn't give Lisa a stern talking too," Rick said with a small smile on her face making Minmei chuckle lightly at this however before she could say anything alarms started to ring throughout the ship. Rick himself just cursed as these general quarters alarms started going off. The patrons of the Restaurant being used to this filed orderly out. Turning to Minmei who was now currently shaking off her shock just sighed at this.
"Go Minmei," he told her making her nod and run off towards the nearest shelter. As she did Rick started to move out of the restaurant to head back to base but stopped once he figured out that he couldn't get to the base in before the SDF-1 transformed back into attack mode so he headed for a nearest shelter meanwhile looking around for Lisa. He saw Minmei join a group heading towards one of the neighborhood's shelters. Rick nodded relieved that she was safe but he still couldn't see Lisa anywhere. Turning he made his way toward another shelter as many started to fill up fast the alarms continued to ring.

Meanwhile outside the large battlefortress the battle had started with a vengeance over ten Veritechs were destroyed in the first few seconds of the battle. On the hull of the SDF-1 three Defender Destroid's turned to engage a group of battlepods that had landed on the ship, but were in turn destroyed as a larger officer's pod joined the group. In the middle of this crazy battle Max had been leading the still undersized Vermillion Squadron against the enemy and now some sort of new unit that had appeared in the middle of the battle destroying Veritechs left and right including Ben's plane. Max gritted his teeth and as he turned to engage the new enemy firing on the unit with his Gunpod but it dodged his fire but in turn got hit by a stray round from nowhere which was pretty common in a crazy battle like this. The unit dropped down to the deck of the SDF-1, managing to land before it crashed into the large ship. A nearby a hatch suddenly opened letting a group of Civil Defense Tomahawks and Spartans Destroids out to engage the group of 'pods that had started landing on the ship and were trying to force their way into the ship. The new unit as it landed destroyed two of the Tomahawks and slipped into the opened hatch before the rest of the Destroids could even do anything to it. This new unit was now currently in the heart of the SDF-1… Macross City itself. Max cursed and followed the enemy into the ship, after he quickly gave a report to the bridge about this. He quickly thought his veritech over to Battloid mode from Guardian Mode and took to the streets. As he landed he quickly drew up a map of Macross in his mind and went in a different direction then the enemy knowing that he could win this.

Macross City, SDF-1 Macross

Meanwhile Lisa who had run out of Electra crying after hiding in the restroom for several minutes was trying to find her way to the base or a shelter in the empty streets of Macross as the alarms continued to scream above her but it was no use. Lisa sighed with a snivel and sat down on a bench on the side of the road since her heels were killing her. As she did she started to finally calm down and start thinking about what had happened in the Electra. Did Rick lie about his love for Minmei? Or was there something else going on here? Did she overact? However before she could even start thinking about these question a large crash came from nearby and she got up to see a strange looking Mecha running down the street towards her. Her agile mind quickly identified as the same type of unit that had nearly destroyed the pod that her, Rick, Benn Dixon, and Max Sterling had captured to get them back to the SDF-1. She looked on frightened as it got ever closer to her, but suddenly a building collapsed in front of the mecha revealing a blue and white VF-1J Battloid. Lisa cheered out loud since she knew that the pilot of this Battloid was none other than Max Sterling himself. Max took advantage of the enemy's surprise to pound him with his Gunpod. The enemy quickly started to retreat away from Max heading back to where he came from. Max just followed him, but not before the enemy loosed off a flight of missiles at him that he dodged them pretty easily. Lisa smiled at this but it quickly changed to a worried frown as she tracked the missile with her eyes. Her eyes then started to widen in fright for they were heading directly for her. She turned and ran but she was not fast enough to avoid the missiles. They exploded behind her and then all she saw was black.
Several grueling minutes later the battle was over and the shelters opened releasing their precious cargo into the streets of a once more devastated Macross City. Rick soon as he walked out of the shelter he headed back to the Electra and found that his car was still remarkable intact. After throwing his jacket and tie into the backseat he jumped into the driver's seat and took off towards the base. Luckily the city was mostly unharmed give a take a few places were the transformation damaged or what looked to be damage from some sort of fight but he put it out of his mind for now. He pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and quickly dialed the number for the base. When an aide answered the phone Rick didn't waste any time.
"This is Lieutenant Rick Hunter, authorization code is Vermillion-Alpha-037 get me the bridge now!" he ordered and heard the officer on the other end quickly acknowledged before transferring the call over to the ship's internal network.
"Bridge here," a familiar tired voice said into his ear. Rick cursed silently to himself as he dodged a large section of the road that was damaged before turning his attention back to the phone.
"Sammie, it's Rick," he said into the speaker. He heard a sigh of relief and some mumbling from the other end as Sammie said something to the entire bridge.
"Thank god you are alright Rick! We had been so worried about you. It was a mess! Your squadron has basically been all out destroyed!" Claudia's voice said after several moments. Rick sighed not wanting to know who died, for he had other things to worry about right now. He could grieve about the dead later once he figured out if Lisa was alright.
"Thanks Claudia. Did Lisa make it to the base?" Rick asked hoping that she made it to the base or the rest of the ship before the battle began.
"No isn't she with you Rick?" Claudia asked in return starting to sound worried. Rick just sighed sadly at this as he pulled into the base.
"It is a long story Claudia I will tell you later, right know I am pulling into the base." Rick responded before hanging up getting out of his car where he showed his ID to the Marine guards before moving into the interior of the base.
Meanwhile back in Macross City a relief worker moved some debris away from a large carter and suddenly cried out in surprise as he saw a human hand underneath the piece. He quickly with his partner's help lifted a large park bench away to reveal a women lying underneath it. They both looked shocked at her condition before they started to recover one of them jumped down and checked her pulse. He looked up at his partner and nodded with a sigh of relief.
"She's alive, but barely! Let's get a med team here and get the supervisor!" the man ordered clearly the one in charge. The other man nodded and within minutes a couple of Volunteer Medical Officers jumped down along with the team's supervisor. The newly arrive supervisor bent down even with his sore back to look closer at the woman to see if he knew her at all, and was surprise to see something around her neck. With a frown he carefully pulled whatever it is from around her neck. He suddenly gasped when he noticed what it was, a set of military dog-tags. Blinking he brought one of the tags closer to his face to read it, once again cursing himself for forgetting his glasses, before nearly dropping them in surprise at what he read. He started cursing before turning to look back down at the woman in horror.
"Commander Lisa Hayes!" he said in shock before turning to look at one of the men surrounding him seeing their shock as well.
"Shit! Anders get in contact with the base!" ordering one of these men as he recovered from his shock. The man quickly nodded and ran to a fire truck where he managed to police a radio from one of its storage bins to call this in with the base.

Later on in Rick's quarters the young pilot managed to complete his story of what happened that night with a sigh to Claudia and Roy who were staring back at him speechless. As sadly slouched in his couched he hoped that Lisa was alright somewhere. However his prayers where not to be answer this night, as his phone started ringing and with a surprise look Rick got up to answer it wondering what this about.
"Lieutenant Hunter here what can I do for you?" he asked over the phone, hoping that is Lisa or news on her anyways.
"Lieutenant, this is the Captain. I just got word that Lisa has been found in the city and has been taken to the Macross General Hospital. It does not look good from what I understand. Once I am done here I shall meet you there," the gravelly voice of the Captain reported on the other end. Rick went white over this and could only nod his head before slamming the phone into the cradle. He turned around from it to see Roy accept some tea from Claudia.
"Lisa has been found and taken to the hospital," he shakily managed to inform them. Roy jumped up nearly spilling the tea before running towards the door.
"Then why are we waiting around here for let's go!" he yelled out as he ran out of the room. With Claudia following him out leading the almost comatose figure of Rick through the door but not before locking up.

Several minutes later found the three friends storming into the hospital and quickly learned that Lisa was in the middle of surgery. In the waiting room Rick paced hitting the wall once in the while. Captain Gloval soon arrived slumping into a chair rubbing his forehead. As the hours passed several others arrived, Max Sterling, Ensign Emma Granger the young woman who Lisa had been training to help her in Operations, several other pilots, as well a few civilians from Macross arrived to wish Lisa well. Finally after what seemed liked several hours passed the doctor arrived exhausted to inform them all that Commander Hayes is out of surgery but he doesn't aspect her to last the night.
Rick a few minutes later found himself staring through a window to see Lisa strapped up to multiple machines, the only thing keeping her alive. He slammed his head on the window and fell to his knees. He started to cry as Captain Gloval stood behind him and placed his hand on his shoulders in silent show of comfort. A few feet away from Rick and Gloval Claudia were crying in the arms of Roy while the usual go-happy fighter pilot was silent as he stared through the window as well with a silent gaze. It was like a moment frozen in time and Rick would remember it int'l the day he died.

Post-Chapter Notes:
Well folks no real major changes here, just some rewritten scenes, a lot of corrections here and there, but nothing real changes from the original first chapter of Frozen. I really hope both veteran and new readers enjoy this for it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
However some major changes are in the works for next chapter, the battle shall be drastically different from what it was and several minor changes as well. I have major plans for the rest of the story, so it should be quite exciting, more than just an old story with a new paintjob.
Anyways that is about it folks, again I hope everyone newcomers and veteran alike enjoy this rebuilt first chapter. Thank you in advance.

(NOTE: I blame this piece on Frasermage)
The planet Earth a shining jewel in the middle of the coldness of space, it had been almost destroyed in past and the people of Earth where not about to let happen again. Therefore there are several thousand warships of all sizes and shapes along triple that of defense satellites orbited this jewel making it into one of the most fortified planets in the galaxy. Too bad no one told the idiots in the five large ships that had just appeared near the moon. In the very large command center of the center ship the crew went about their business after a finishing their latest and final fold jump. However unknown to them the Earth Defense Fleet spotted them and started aiming their weapons at the ships waiting for them to make a hostile move. Once the sensor jamming influence of the fold sphere the sensor officer of the lead ship looked shock at these readings before he slowly turned to addressed his commanders.
"Masters, I am detecting thousands of ships in orbit of the planet, more than our original estimate. They are arming weapons and advancing towards us," the lowly minion reported scared out of his mind at what he was seeing. The three figures standing on a raised platform in the center of the Command Bridge looked wide-eyed at the screens in front of them showing the advancing forces of Earth. This was not what they expected, yes they expected resistance but not like this and for the first time in several generations the three beings known as the Robotech Masters felt fear. As one they turned to look down at their minions and said something that no expected them to ever say in a million years.
"RUN AWAY!"
-o-Fin-o-
/laughs/ Like I said I blame Frasermage for this piece of insanity. Yes basically the Robotech Masters didn't arrive at the Earth of Robotech Southern Cross, but instead they arrived at the Earth of Macros Plus/Macross 7/Macross Frontier. I really don't think they are going to have an easy time here.
Anyhow, moving on like any other of my stories, feel free to submit Omakes to me if you are interested in writing one. Either by Review, PM or Email I don't care.
So till next time folks this Deathzealot signing off…
