Day 3, Part 1
The next day, Basara works up as usual and eats an apple from the basket that was left by Wind yesterday in his hut. Opens the window, he finds other villagers is starting their day like yesterday as well. By starts to getting bored, Basara washes his face, gets his sound energy charging suit on and gets ready to walk to his Fire Valkyrie.
When he reaches the entrance of the village, Wind is waiting there with a large basket at her back. When Basara is getting near, she bows and greets him with a warm smile, "Good Morning, Mr. Basara." Walking pass by her, Basara replies with only "Ah." Then he put his hands in the collar and walks to the forest. "Wait, Mr. Basara. I am on the way to the forest too, wait for me!" But the tall sharp-haired guitarist just ignores her words and keep walking on his own, Wind quickly run towards Basara and walks along with him in the forest.
In the forest, while Basara is trying to contact City 7, Wind cannot help herself from looking around the Fire Valkyrie and touching it with a large happy smile. "Hey, Mr. Basara. Is this the Valkyrie you always talk about?" Basara says nothing but the same "Ah." as yes. It makes Wind Warsong keeps touching the Gerwalk-form Valkyrie and her eyes are shining as adoring it, since she thought that this is a transportation used by a God's Messenger.
"City 7, can you hear me?" the microphone replies nothing but the jamming sound, "Rei? Mylene? Vifidas? Anyone?" Basara still get no respond but the same jamming sound. "Damn it." Basara closes all the devices and prepares to leave. While he reaches the ground, he looks at Wind Warsong, who is still 'exploring' the Valkyrie like a child, he says, "Woi, Ms. Wind, doesn't you touch enough?" Notice Basara's uneasy face expression, Wind stops her child's act and keep bowing as apologizing with a satisfied smile on her face. It makes Basara does nothing but respond with confused mind.
"So, who are you trying to calling just now, Mr. Basara? And what kind of way you use to call them?" Wind asks Basara while she picked up the basket she brought along. Basara replies, "Friends." Wind suddenly holds his hand and yells in surprise, "Then, they are same as you too?! The God's Messenger?!" Basara bends backward to drill his ears a bit, then continues, "No, they are not the messenger you talked about, we are rock band." "Rock band? Is that what they are called in the 'Spirit's Place'?" Wind asks with her eyes still sparkling like a child. It makes Basara does nothing but covers his head and sighs, says, "Whatever..." He starts to walk around the forest to get some fresh air. Wind Warsong, on the other hand, says, "Well, Mr. Basara, I will go to pluck for herb leaves over there. We meet back here when it reach evening, okay?" Basara says nothing and keep walking, only raise his right arm as agree. Wind closes her eyes in happy emotion and leaves to the other side.
As Basara keeps walking, he keeps wondering what is really happening upon him. He rests on the shore by a river, and thinks, "Let see, after I have been suck into that white twirl, I had been sent to this 'no-music' place. That means if I can find the same twirl again, I might able get back to City 7..." throwing a stone into the river, Basara keeps thinking, "but where can I find it? I got no clues at all..." Throwing another stone, Basara looks onward the clear blue sky and says, "Man, this is the first time ever I miss those guys..."
Meanwhile, in City 7.
"Even without Basara, the concert must go on as scheduled too, Mylene. You had done it before, right? Back when Basara disappeared himself last time." Akiko says to Mylene as the bass player begs for postponing the concert.
"But, Akiko-san, we still don't have any other new song to perform, is it okay?" Mylene concerns about the reaction they might get when they sing the same songs over and over again in each concert.
"Never mind about that, the audience will understand." Akiko holds Mylene's shoulder as she tries to comfort her feelings, she then looks at Ray as she shows a look that nearly means "that's what we can do right now, isn't it"
Holding his chin with his index finger on top of his upper lips, Rei is thinking, "What is actually happening at Basara? Could it be another Zentradi's trick? It can't be, since they are now Basara's fan too." There is no doubt since Basara successfully persuaded the female Zentradi last time when they attacked Macross 7 after imprisoned the Jenius couple.
"Then, what could it be? A portal to other dimension?" Rei answers the confusion right enough, but then, "Ah, nonsense! What am I thinking"
Back at Basara.
After thinking for a while, Basara walks back to Valkyrie for another try. Just when he reaches the Fire Valkyrie, he is shocked as he sees Wind is sitting in the pilot seat and touching the interior. Basara does not know the way she can open the cockpit, but he does not want to know either. All he has in his mind now is get Wind down from his plane right now before she might damage any equipment.
"Hey, Miss Wind! What the heck are you doing in my Valkyrie?" Basara shouts at the wondering Wind as he stands in front of the Valkyrie.
"Ah, Mr. Basara! Sorry for doing this but this bird amazed me too much, I cannot help myself from getting in it!" Wind replies shamefully as she knows that Basara is not happy to see her act at all.
"Whatever it is, get off my Valkyrie right now." Basara crosses his arm in front of his chest and orders Wind to get down from the Fire Valkyrie.
Wind crawls by the side of the cockpit and slide down to the ground. Looking at the child's acting Wind, Basara lowers his head a bit and sighs, then he says, "Just what are you trying to do with my Valkyrie"
Shrinking her head near to her shoulder, Wind says, "Well... I just... want to... look... how a... God's messenger's transport like?" She says as she points both her index finger point at each other.
Basara sighs again, asks, "Well, then how do you open the cockpit? I remember I closed it when I left just now"
Wind answers as she points at the switch located near the leg of the Valkyrie, says, "I accidentally pressed one part of the legs there and it revealed a red circle. I pushed it and then the bird's beak open." Basara maintains silence for a second, thinks, "No way! She found the emergency switch!"
After checking the interior equipments of the Valkyrie, Basara finds out there nothing to worry, as there is no damage at all. He sits back in the seat and plugs the suite to the system. While adjusting every system in the cockpit, Basara notices that Wind is still knocking the window of the cockpit.
"Ah, man..." Opening the cockpit, Basara says to Wind, "What do you want again now, Miss Wind"
"Well, are you gonna fly again, Mr. Basara?" Wind asks.
"Yup, I will try to find a place that's where I can contact my friends." Basara answers.
"Can you let me come along, Mr. Basara?" Wind says as she sounds like begging.
"Huh?! But..." surprised by the brown-haired girl request, Basara tries to reject it.
"Please... just one time... please..." Wind holds her palms together like prayer and starts begging.
"I guess I have no more choice then." Basara thinks for a while as looking at the girl who sits on the front of the cockpit and bends down herself like a cat to hold the cockpit. "Okay, only this time."
As Wind hears the answer, she quickly jumps onto Basara and Basara blows some air as the impact hits his stomach. Then he coughs a bit. "I am sorry, I was too excited. Hee hee" Wind chuckles as she rests on Basara's chest to ease his control onto the guitar, which works as Valkyrie's pilot stick now. In the mean time Basara closes the cockpit and thinks, "This reminds me of Mylene as she forces herself to come with me as I am too weak to fly this Valkyrie." What Basara really means is Wind's sitting position now is near enough as her butt sits on Basara knee and tight to his body, not to mention that she slant a bit and rest onto Basara's left arm so he can see the environment.
"Here we go!" Basara says as he activates the Valkyrie and it rises off the ground and straight on top of the forest, then Basara pulls a button on the guitar and it changes the Fire Valkyrie into Fighter form. Wind is surprised by the process and laughes, "This is fantastic"
"I just hope I can get the signal somewhere around." Basara says as he boosts the Valkyrie and flies away from the forest.
