Day 2
Waking up the next day, Basara looks at the villagers, who are working hard at their farm for food supply, as he looks further, Basara also finds out that some villagers forge weapons for the war between them and the Modarm, their enemy who use modern weapon upon them. Adjusting his guitar strings, Basara is thinking for the conversation among Lonewolf, Wind and him at yesterday's evening.
- Flashback sequence -
"Hey, you guys, stand up, will you?" Basara spoke when Lonewolf and wind bend down and worship him, as he is the God's messenger they spoke of.
"No, it is rude for us to stand along with the one who was sent by the God." Lonewolf ignored Basara's word and kept his bending form.
"I am neither a God nor the man he sent, okay? Stop doing that, or I get out of here right now!" Basara forced both of the worshiping pairs to stand up.
"We... well, if you allow us to." Lonewolf responded Basara.
"Yes, yes. I allow you. Now, stand up, both of you!" Basara finally gets both of the Warsong stand up. "Look here, whatever it is, I am going to get my Valkyrie, and I am going to find a way to go back to City 7 no matter what." Just when Basara starts to leave, Wind blocks his way and Lonewolf says, "Please, Mr. Basara, I am sorry to insult your... music, I would like to ask you to stay for these few days, as an apology." Looking at the elder and the girl, Basara knows that it is difficult enough for him to leave the village by just words, so he decided to stay for not more than three days.
- End of flashback sequence -
After tuning the sound of the guitar string, Basara decides to have a walk in the village. For the purpose to ease his move, he leaves the suit, along with the guitar in the hut and starts his walk. As he walks and looks around, he finds out that everyone is looking at him with strange look.
"What is this? Did they just see an alien or something?" Thinking in his mind, Basara asks. But the truth is everyone in the village had known that Basara is a follower send by the God to aid them in the war. Thanks to Lonewolf Warsong, his word is strong for whatever he says. As a result, most of Lonewolf's believers bend down and worship Basara when he passes by them. "Well, whatever it is, I better go to some place else." Without talking more Basara walks to the tower that located in front of the village, which is used to scout for any suspicious approach. But not for Basara, since he doesn't have his Valkyrie with him now, he can't travel around by air. So, he decides to climb the tower to see what is around the village.
Without any words and warnings, Basara straightly reaches the top of the tower, ignores the guard and starts his sightseeing. Eventually, because there is almost no modern stuff within the village, that is why places around the village is mostly forest and more to natural and peace. "What a great scene from here! Sure you are really enjoy it everyday, huh, buddy?" Talking to the stunned guard, Basara starts to have something in his mind. A Song! Without thinking much, Basara straightly sings out what he had in his mind.
'Shizen ga kokkyuu suru no wo
Kara dajuu ga kanjiru,
Haruka mukashi kara tsuzuku
Taema no nai merodii,
Kaze ya Umi ya Sora ga Ore o yondeiru
Feel Universe Uchuu ga ima hageshiku,
Mezamete yuku asa ni,
Feel Universe Shinjireba kikoerusa,
Itsudemo Kokoro no oku de nari tsuzukeru Baraado'
When Basara is singing, the guard besides him can't help himself by covering his ears and yelling for help, so as the other villager, who hears Basara's song. When Lonewolf and Wind Warsong reaches the scene, Lonewolf tries to stop Basara by covering his ears, but he gets no idea for how to climb ladder up the top of the tower without using his hands, but strangely, Wind Warsong does not only let her ears open, but also she enjoys the music Basara sings, she just doesn't know the reason. Unfortunately she is ordered by her father to stop Basra from singing more.
Looking back to Basara, he does not care about the struggling guard but keep singing.
'Bakuhatsu shisou sa I let me be free,
Sakebi yo sora no kanata e I let you be free
Oh Rizumu ga ima abaredashita We are gonna be free...'
Just when Basara wants to finish the song, Wind Warsong reaches just in time and covers his mouth, then she whispers to him, "Mr. Basara, I know you are really enjoy your music, but not right now!" Turning his head to look at the painful villagers, Basara notices that his unfinished song had put everyone into trouble. Look at the almost dying guard, Basara tries to help him to get up but he rejects it. "Leave him to me, but you must climb down, now"
Basara cannot help himself but sigh. He just cannot believe that everyone does not understand his song at all. Or just like what did Lonewolf try to tell him, that there is no such thing as 'Music' in this era? Without speaking any words or apologizes, Basara leaves the crowd and heads to his Valkyrie.
Meanwhile, at City 7.
As ordered by Mayor Mylia to cheer her daughter up, Gamlin goes to Mylene's place to ask her for a date. Wearing his sky blue T-shirt and dark gray jeans, Gamlin is waiting outside of her apartment. While waiting, Gamlin is thinking. "Just how can Basara just disappear without any trace? There got to be a way. By the way, Ms. Mylene is changing for too long already." Knocking the door, Gamlin wonders what is happening to Mylene. "Ms. Mylene, are you done yet"
"Ah I'm just finished." Opening the door, the pink-colored haired bass player appears in front of Gamlin with wearing light yellow T-shirt, short and tight blue jeans, and wears a red cap with the yellow word 'Fire Bomber' sews on it. But all Gamlin is concerning is not her outfit, but her red eyes, it looks like she has been crying for something. "Well, Mr. Gamlin. Where should we go today?" Asking the Ace-pilot of Diamond Force, Mylene want to know the dating schedule. Gamlin grab the back of his head, then says, "How about the theme park that just opened near by? I heard that there is interesting"
Mylene nods to Gamlin and chains her arm with Gamlin's. But none of their hearts is focusing on the theme park, Gamlin thinks as he noticed Mylene's hard expression. "Basara, you better come back now. Or I am going to drag you spiked hair back with my bare hands."
Back at Basara's location As peaceful night falls on the Warsong Tribe, Basara is sitting in his hut, and writing the chord for the song he just sang this morning. Along with strumming his guitar to ensure the right key, Basara's emotion starts to get happier as he finally got new song produced. He thanks to himself as he remembered to bring along his chord papers and a pen with him in his Valkyrie. When he is doing his song composing under the weak light of the candle, someone is knocking his door.
"Hello, Mr. Basara. Are you in there?" It is Wind Warsong who wants to meet Basara.
Like usual Basara does not answer and keep focus on his song. Hearing the music from outside, Wind Warsong finds herself is really enjoying it. She just do not know why she is the only one who can stands against Basara's songs. Just when the music stops, the door opens as the spiked-haired guitarist stands in front of Wind Warsong. "What are you doing here this late, Ms. Wind?" Basara asks.
"Well, I would like to have you to join our dinner." Wind tries to invite Basara to join their dinner.
"I afraid not." Rejecting her invitation, Basara really concerns about the incident happened this morning. He afraid when he joins the dinner, something unhappy will happen. When Basara is closing his door, Wind holds the door and say, "I knew you would says that, that's why I brought some food for you. You know you can't do anything with an empty stomach." Then, Wind shows Basara a plate full of meals like fruits, meat and bread.
"Whatever..." Basara knows he cannot say anything more to stop the girl, so he let the door open and let Wind do what she want. As a result, Wind brings the food and enters Basara's hut. Looking around, Wind finds nothing more than just papers with the unknown language (the chord) and Basara's sound energy system suit. While she puts down the meal on the floor, Basara ignores her and keeps strumming his guitar for finishing the songs. Wind takes an apple and eats it, while she is watching the way Basara works. While he finishes, Basara adjusts his guitar and plays the song one more time from the start to know the results.
'Shizen ga kokkyuu suru no wo
Kara dajuu ga kanjiru,
Haruka mukashi kara tsuzuku
Taema no nai merodii,
Kaze ya Umi ya Sora ga Ore o yondeiru
Feel Universe Uchuu ga ima hageshiku
Mezamete yuku asa ni,
Feel Universe Shinjireba kikoerusa
Itsudemo Kokoro no oku de Nari tsuzukeru Baraado'
While Basara is playing the instrumental part, Wind is getting near Basara without notice and looking at the lyrics on the paper, just when Basara starts to sings the next phrase, Wind sings along with him.
'Tada hitotsu tashika na koto
Ore wa ore o ikiteru
Kokoro dake o togisumase
Uso o tatakikowase
Moeru tamashii dake Dakishime utae
Feel Universe Uchuu ni owari wa nai
Kono gitaa no youni
Feel Universe Eien wa koko ni aru
Mirai ga kagayaiteru Tengoku nado iranai'
When Wind stops and exhales for the first time singing, Basara continues the solo chord.
'Bakuhatsu shiishou sa I let me be free
Sakebi yo sora no kanata e I let you be free
Oh Rizumu ga ima abaredashita WE ARE GONNA BE FREE...'
Wind finds that she is really immune to the 'music's pain' like other villagers. As Basara plays more and more chords, Wind cannot help herself from her ecstasy. She goes out of the hut and start to spinning around with arms side open like dancing freely on the ground. As Basara finally finds out someone in the village enjoys his music, he even plays the solo instrumental harder and join the dancing.
Before he continues singing, he greets Wind with his usual sentence, "You are good, aren't you?" Then he continues.
'Feel Universe Uchuu ga ima hageshiku,
Mezamete yuku asa ni,
Feel Universe Shinjireba kikoerusa,
Itsudemo Kokoro no oku de
Nari tsuzukeru Baraado
Woah, we are gonna be free.
We are gonna be free.
WE ARE GONNA BE FREE...'
When the music finishes, Wind happily wipes her sweats that almost fully wet her thin costume and shows her sexy body shape. She smiles at Basara as he gives her something interesting to hear and move with. Basara says nothing but smiles back for his first fan in this dimension. Looking at the starry night, Basara, for the first time ever, thinks that it is great and lucky for him to arrive this place.
