Lost Ship Found
- Just Outside of our solar system -
Somewhere outside of the solar system a large green cucumber shape star vessel made its way toward Earth. Exedore Chief Archivist of the Zentradi, a short slender man with light purple skin, made his way toward the bridge of the ship to inform the commander of his finding.
"Lord Breetai I believe we have found the stolen research vessel that was carrying the last of the Proto Culture. It seem to have crash landed on the third planet of this system my lord."
"That's Excellent Exedore! I want a recovery squad to assembled and prepped to launch as soon as possible" Breetai stated excitedly.
"But my lord, the planet is inhabited by Micronian. By Zentradi sacred law, set forth by our creator, we are forbidden from interacting with Micronians. To do so is to go against the will of our creator."
Breetai touched the cold metal plate that cover the right side of his face and said "Exedore, you know what I do is for the good of Zentradi itself. By order of supreme commander Dolza, we are to get back the Proto Culture at all cost. We are loosing the war against the Invid and the Meltroni are acting up. Even our own creators are fighting for their very life against the Invid. If the Zentradi are going survive this war, we are going to need to change some of our law. Without the Proto Culture, I fear that both side will eventually be destroy. Now, with that said, what the status on the battle strength of the Micronians?"
Exedore knew he had lost the argument. Once the commander had made up his mind, he rarly let anything change it.
"My lord from what our long range scanner has shown us, the Micronians seem to be a primitive species that still hadn't mastered space travel. They shouldn't give us too much resistance and I don't think they are advance enough to make use of what is on the ship. Even if this is the case, I still recommend that we use caution. Who know what the rebel could have left behind for us."
"Agree Exedore. Send out a recon ship and have them report back what they find immediately. Also, unless the Micronian open fire upon them, they are to reframe from getting into any conflicts with the Micronians."
"Understood my lord. I'll see to it that your order is carried out at once." Exedore left the bridge in a hurry. He was worried about whether they were doing the right thing or not.
- In an unknown part galaxy -
Somewhere in another part of the galaxy another meeting of great important is taking place. Sheyahass knelt before her supreme commander and gave her report.
"Matriarch, our recon squad has detected a large fleet of Zentradi at the edge of the Sol system. From what we could gather, the Zentradi have located the stolen research vessel that was carrying the supply of Proto Culture."
"Commander Sheyahass, are the Zentradi making any attempt to recover the lost Proto Culture?" asked the supreme commander of the Meltroni.
"Yes Matriarch, however I still can't believe they are willing to abandon our scared law, which was set fort by our creator, and risk coming into contact with the Micronians."
"Sheyahass, it just show how dire our situation is. The Zentradi force is too large for us to do a frontal attack. For the future of the Meltroni, we need to get that supply of Proto Culture before they do. I'm giving you command of the scouting fleet and you may choose whoever you need to complete this mission. You are to go to the Sol system and if possible to avoid any conflicts with the Zentradi. You are to monitor the situation and see if an opportunity presents itself to get the Proto Culture." The Matriarch suddenly paused as if remembering something. "Dolza would mostly likely send his best commander for this mission. I know of your long grudge with commander Breetai. You are not to let your personal feeling get in the way of this mission is that understood Sheyahass?"
"Yes Matriarch," replied Sheyahass. She got up and made her way towards her ship. Sheyahass was still trying to control the anger she felt when she heard the name Breetai.
- Macross Island at noon -
It was now lunch time at Macross High School. Ranma sat in his favorite spot under the cherry tree eating his lunch. He always enjoyed his mom's home cooked meals. As he was eating, he notice two figure were roof hopping in the distance. He thought this was odd since, as far as he knew, he was the only one with enough skill on the island to do that. As he continued to watch them, he tried to pick up some details to let him know who they ere, but they were moving to fast for him to make out any.
Ranma was about to go investigate this when he heard someone call out his name from behind. Ranma turn around and saw that three of his friend is running toward him.
To the right was Jeff Glowburg, a tall well build American with short light brown hair.
In the middle was John Smith, another American that is the same height as Ranma but has spiky blonde hair.
To he left is Lay Voraski a tall Asiatic looking fellow with short unruly black hair.
John was the first to recover from the run while the other two were still breathing hard.
"Hey Ranma! Its been a long time since you hung out with us. There a new aero fighter game that just came out today. You want to join us at the arcade?" asked John.
"Yeah man we haven't seen you at the arcade for a couple months now and we are beginning to worry about you" said Jeff.
"That right Ranma! You shouldn't spend too much time in that lab of your. Come on man join us at arcade after school today!" said Lay.
"I'm sorry that I haven't hung out with you guys. I'm still busy working on the project that me and grandpa started. I promise once I'm finish with it, I'll have some free time again." said Ranma. His friends were disappointed, but they understood how much his grandfather meant to him. Of course like usual they would try to get Ranma to tell them what he is working on and like always he just said "Now that a secret!"
Minmei Lynn, a girl with long blue hair, walked up to the group of talking boys and tapped Ranma on the shoulder. She had something important to ask him but he always seem to vanish when she about to corner him.
Ranma turned around to see who tapped him and was surprised to see it was Minmei. What disturbed him the most is her smile.
'I know that smile. She is up to something' thought Ranma. Ranma scratch the back of his head nervously "Hey Minmei how is it going?"
He didn't get any response from her. She turns toward his friend and ask in cheerful voice if she could talk with Ranma alone. As his friend left Ranma could hear them mumble "lucky bastard."
'That funny I don't feel all that luck ' thought Ranma. Minmei turn toward him
"Ranma do you want to stop by the White Dragon after school? Aunt Leena is preparing a special meal to celebrate the founding of the restaurant. She also wanted me to invite you and your mom joins us in the celebration this evening. I was also wondering if you could help me get everything ready. Pretty Please!"
"I'm sorry Minmei I really need to get home and..." Ranma never got to finish his excuse because Minmei put on the sad puppy dog face with putty lips. "Hey that not fair Minmei!" cried out Ranma. All Minmei did was to shed a little tear.
Ranma new he had already lost the battle of will, especially when she was like this. He could never say no to her when she put on the sad puppy face. Ranma gave a sigh and said "Ooh ok. After school I'll go and help you with the preparation."
"And?" she said with her sad puppy face still on.
"And I'll bring my mom for the celebration this evening" tiredly stated Ranma.
After she got her answer from Ranma, she went back to her cheerful self and latch onto his arm.
"That a promise right Ranma and you won't try to sneak off to work on that project of yours. Right! Ranma!"
Ranma just nodded his head in respond 'Damn! She knows me to well. Man I'm almost done with the project too. At least she's happy again.'
The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Minmei started heading back toward the school building and yell out "After school I'll meet you at the front gate. Don't forget now. See ya Ranma!"
Ranma also made his way back towards the school building.
'I can't believe I still let her get a way with that. Why do I always crumble when she does that?' thought Ranma.
- In the business section of Macross City -
Ukyo Kuonji was busy setting up her shop that she just bought earlier today. When she heard that Macross Island was a growing Japanese population and that there was no okonomiyaki restaurant, she new that she had to be the first and who knows. Maybe she'd even expand into the western market as well.
She had gotten tired of looking for Ranma and decided to focus on her business for now. With the death of Genma Saotome her family honor was restore and she was no longer obligated to hunt down Ranma for the loss. Even with the family honor restore, Ukyo still wanted to find Ranma and give him a beating he'd never forget. She was still mad at him for abandoning her like that.
Ukyo was snapped out of her train of thought by the commotion that was going on next door.
'I wonder what going on at the White Dragon. They seem to be getting ready for a party or something.' thought Ukyo.
- Back in Japan in the Tokyo ward of Nerima -
At Furinkan High nursing room we see a young man lying in bed and moaning in pain as he clutch his stomach. He was wearing a yellow bandana with black strip on his head. Next to the bed was a large back pack with a red bamboo umbrella on top of it.
Nabiki popped her head into the room and saw who was lying on the bed.
"Geez! Akane if you didn't like the guy all you have to do is tell him. I think poisoning the poor sap is a bit much" said Nabiki with a grin on her face.
"Shout UP! Nabiki!" yelled Akane from within the room. She was the one that brought him in and was now trying to nurse him back to health, but for some reason every time she give him some medicine his condition would get worse. "The food must have spoiled on the way to school. You know their nothing wrong with my cooking. Ryoga told me he like my cooking so there!!"
Nabiki just shook her head and left.

Yeah I know this doesn't follow the cannon Robotech story line. Yes I Know that the concept of Meltroni is strange. If you ever watch 'Robotech the movie: Remember the Lovers' you'll see where I'm going with this story. Yes, this movie does exist. I have a DVD copy of it. The Zentradi force will not be attacking today because they didn't warp next to Earth. They will arrive the next day at the launching of the SDF-1.
