Light The Peace

Author's words:
After I search for some details, I am really shocks that I had mistaken the name for Valkyrie in robot form, instead of "Battleroid", I use "Bomber". But, it seems like it does not matters much for you guys, therefore, I use 'Bomber' for Basara's Fire Valkyrie's robot form, while 'Battleroid' for the other Valkyrie. Sorry for the inconvenience. Now, back in the story.

Day 4

Next morning, Basara wakes up as usual from his bed, but only still sleepy. On the table behind him lies the Holy Book he lend from Lonewolf, as he has nothing to do and he is interested in studying the 'Spirit's Place' the Warsong always mentioned. As a result, he studied it overnight and did not sleep at all. And now, he wants to get some fresh air in the jungle. In the mean time, Wind comes to greet him as well. "Good morning, Mr. Basara."
"Huah good morning, Ms. Wind." Basara says to the girl who is holding her basket, then he continues, "another day for herb plucking, huh?"
"Well…" Lowers her blushed face a bit, Wind answers, "…I left my basket in the jungle yesterday, so I better get them back along with some new herbs today." But in her mind is thinking of what had she done with Basara last night, as she made herself looks like a crazy woman in love, in fact, she also got a little feeling onto this 'God's Messanger'. But due to his 'class', she is not dare to express that feeling.
"I see… good day then." Basara says as he starts to walk to the jungle, while Wind maintains her silence until he disappears before her eyes.

"Well, I hope I can find something from City 7 today." As Basara is enjoying his walk, he thinks about the possibility to get back. In the mean time, Wind is following him behind his back as well. After walking quite a distance, Basara reaches his Valkyrie and thinks about where does he not search until now, while Wind is staring at the thinking pilot.
All of the sudden, two people appears from the back of the Valkyrie's leg, both of them wears the same olive green uniform with a gold badge at the left side of the chest, obviously they are from another village, and they do not look so friendly when their fiercely stare at the guitarist who had almost killed them in the war with his 'noise'.
"Sir, we need you to come with us, now." One of the soldier orders after they confirmed the man in front is the one they are looking for.
"And why should I, I don't even know you guys." Basara is hot tempered when he talks to soldier type of people, he cannot ignore it partly influenced by the way he was treated when he was strictly told to train a group of artist – Humming Birds to use music as their weapon against Protodevlin, which really angers him for their misjudgment upon the real meaning and purpose he sings to the Protodevlins. Without another words, Basara continues his way to get his Valkyrie. But, before he is reaching the plane, both the soldier had stand in front of him to stop him from.
"You don't have to know us, all you have to know is our commander want to see you in person, he insists it." The soldier continues as they land their hand onto Basara's shoulder and hold him from get away. Basara notices their action and bends down a bit to escape the hold, after he makes two steps backward he replies, "I am not interest in meeting your so-called commander, so leave me alone!" Giving them a fierce stare, Basara warns them.
"Well, then you leave us no choice." One of the soldiers says, and then pulls out his gun and points towards the Valkyrie's pilot. "I repeat one more time, come with us or I will shoot!" The words surprises Wind who is hiding in the bushes. She immediately throws her basket of herbs towards the soldiers. Her action distracts the soldier and makes them open fire out of their target, then Wind comes out to grab Basara's hand and both of them run away from the place.
"This way, hurry!" Holding Basara's hand, Wind leads Basara away from the soldiers while they are chasing behind their back. In order to warn their target to stop, one of the soldiers opens fire towards them, but unfortunately it just hit a tree trunk, which Basara and Wiind just passed by in the nick of time. Dodging by tree after tree, Wind starts to get tired and hide with Basara behind one of the giant trunks, which is big enough to cover a person's body. To ease their hiding, Basara bends down and lean by the trunk, and to make sure Wind is safe enough and out of their sight, he holds Wind close enough to his chest and cover her head with his right palm. This action had made the country girl's cheek becomes more reddish as she is very close with the one she admired most right now, at the same time she remembers the time when she was in the same situation yesterday in the Valkyrie's cockpit.

Slightly sneaking out his head out a bit, Basara notices the soldiers are still searching for both of them, while one of them use a walkie-talkie to ask for help in their search. "Damn, they call for help, it will be far more dangerous than I think." Noticing his disadvantage, Basara become more tension, as he is not the only one who tries to run away. "I cannot risk her life for mine, plus they are only targeting on me, not this innocent girl." Keep thinking again, Basara tries to analyze the possibilities for their escape, and after a while, he makes up his mind and tells Wind his plan.
After heard his plan, Wind is shocked for it and swinging her head for objecting it, but Basara whispers to her, "Look, it is the safest way for both of us to leave here unharmed. Just listen to me, and don't ask the village to fight them to rescue me, I will find my way for it."
"But…. But…" Wind holds his arm and tries to find any reason to keep him with her. But it is useless, because she cannot think of some other way than Basara's with her nervous mind.
"Trust me." After he says the convincing words, he walks out from the tree trunk and faces the soldier alone. On the spot, the soldier points their gun onto him for preventing him to run away again. Basara puts his hand up at his head level and shows that he surrenders to them. Knowing that Basara's act, one of the soldiers approaches him, while the other one still aim at him, says, "Thanks for your cooperation, mister. This way please."
"But, how about the girl?" the gunner asks.
"Let her be, he is the one we after." The other one answers.
Without more saying, Basara walks in front of them, while the gunner is still aiming at him behind. After three of them are out of the sight, Wind Warsong finally comes out from the bushes near the tree trunk and run back to her village. "Mr. Basara, hope you will be fine."

Macross 7
"Fire Bomber's lead singer, Reiki Basara has been gone for a long time, and still there is no news either from the searching team or Battle 7 which had seen the happening for Basara's mysteriously gone in front of their very eyes. Many rumors says that he had found another place to stay and quit music, some even says that he gets married at some other planet…"
"Enough already!" Press the 'turn off' button hard enough and throws the controller on the sofa on her side, Mylene cannot help herself getting frustrated for the news she just heard. Looking at the picture of the band 'Fire Bomber' that was hang on top of television, she groaned, "Great work, Mr. Basara! You disappearance really makes your name more popular and even more well-known than the time you are here!" In fact, what is Mylene really angry at is not what she said, but the way the reporter concerns about their idol. Holding the ear of the cup that has the mini Fire Valkyrie graphic on it, Mylene tries to drink some coffee and calm herself down a bit.

Basara's Dimension
Riding on the same jeep with the soldiers and with his hand had been handcuffed, Basara still maintain calm as usual, because he ensures one things: Wind is safe from the danger, now all he needs to concern is the commander that demands this meeting. Not far behind him are two trucks, which are in charge of transferring his Fire Valkyrie, still in its Gerwalk form, towards their base – the Modarms. In Basara's mind, he thinks about one more thing, as he got time now to digest it.

"According to that Holy Book, it says that God had created this world out from nowhere. Then to ensure the people believe in Him, he creates a place named 'Spirit's Place', which there will be protected by angels that can fly and fight the evil without using any weapons, and it is the place for the innocent souls can rest in peace. Well, it sure sounds like heaven to me.

'Sometime we will see the light
if we keep on our dreams
after we had gone through happiness and sadness'

These will be nice words for lyrics if it can be a little shorter. But, what confuse me are the burned clues left at the final part of it.

'Even we are upset and out of courage,
but hang on, my child, and remember, there is always …
and it will save you from them'

Gee, What could it means?"

After a long distance of driving, the packed jeep finally reaches a giant iron gate, besides it is iron wall, which are build to protect from any attacks. On top of the wall, Basara can slightly see some soldier are guarding the wall with some of them aiming their rifle at them right now.
Then the driver pulls out a walkie-talkie, says, "This is 119394. Open the gate, we had brought back the 'bird' and the guy." After that, the gate slowly opens and the line between them become larger, after a while the jeep and the trucks drive into the city. While the jeep is driven slowly along the road, Basara notices the city is far more advanced than the village he stayed: buildings, automobiles, and other things that mostly can be found on City 7, but one thing for sure, these things are far more outdated and the city is really polluted compare to Basara's time.
"Well, it is sure a modern city for this time. But something bothers me more as I enter here, what is it?" Basara checks the environment and thinks. Suddenly, a person is being thrown out from a bar, then one man with the same outfit with the soldier by his side, come out from there as well. By his side is a girl whose waist is being ringed and struggling for help. The soldier points his gun at the fallen man and shouts, "You dare to oppose me, you damn maggot! Bend before me and apologize right now, I might forgive your rudeness." The man quickly stands out and says, "It is you who should apologize! It is my girlfriend you are molesting just now! Let her go or I will…"
"Bang!" A shot is released and it hits right at the heart of the angry man, with his eyes still staring at his partner. "You are talking too much and acting too slow…" Puts back his gun, the soldier spits on the body, then his followers come out from the bar.
"John! Wake up! John!" the girl shouts for her boyfriend respond, but too bad he acts nothing at all.
"Forget that man, little miss. It will be more fun if you come with us…" As the soldier speaks, the girl immediately slaps onto his face and struggling and yelling for help.
The soldier immediately pushes her on the ground and says, "You want to play rough huh? Well, you ask for it!" Then the soldier tears her dress apart and starts to unzip his pant as well. The girl scares and screams louder.
Basara cannot hold himself anymore, he quickly jumps down from the jeep, and rushes towards the group and knock away anyone in front of him to reach the girl, included the one who tries to rape the innocent. "What the hell do you think you are doing? Don't you suppose to protect in stead of killing people as you like?" Basara shouts at the fallen soldier. Without any words, the fallen soldier pulls out his gun again and says, "Are you trying to be a hero or something, maggot? If that is the case, I will make you become one in hell!" Noticing his action, Basara quickly covers the girl with his back.
"BANG!"

Macross 7
"Crack" suddenly Mylene finds out her cup's ear is broken and the coffee pours on the floor.
"Ah I just clean it yesterday." Mylene feels upset for the accident and mops the floor. Then she remembers that she just bought the cup yesterday, it is impossible for it to broke easily.
"I got a bad feeling about this…"

End of Day 4
