Light The Peace

Day 5
"Bang!" A gunshot is released and blood drops on the floor.
"What… the…" the soldier who supposed to shoot at Basara. Now his chest is covered with blood and falling on the ground.
"Blame yourself that you are unlucky today, soldier. You are aiming at the commander's guest." Actually, it is the soldier with the code 119394 opened fire at the undisciplined soldier.
Putting back the gun, 119394 asks Basara to get back to the jeep. After Basara ensures that the girl is safe enough, he asks around for anyone to help to get the girl something to wear. And then 119394 throws Basara a piece of cloth to replace her dress.
"It's better than naked." Basara hands over the cloth to the girl who is shaking now. After covers her body with it, 119394 says, "Now, mister. Get back to the car, will you?" If there is another soldier type of people is saying this towards Basara, he sure will not give him a damn. But after the soldier in front of him now just saved his life, he simply stands up and returns to the jeep.
"Stop calling me mister, my name is Basara, Reiki Basara." Basara says this as he passes by the soldier.
"Whatever, mister. Your name is not what I concern." The soldier returns to the jeep as well and orders the driver to continue his job. "And mind your own business, next time your safety won't be ensured."
After a distance of driving, the group finally reaches a mansion, unlike what he saw before, the places around the mansion is full of lives: right at the front of the mansion is a garden which is planted with lots of flowers, pine trees are lining up by the side of the road that leads them to the main door of the mansion. Since the road is only fit for a normal car width, 119394 orders the truck team transfer the Valkyrie to the army base, then the jeep enters the mansion.
"Where do you want to take my Valkyrie to?" Basara notices the truck's direction is opposing his, therefore he immediately stands and shouts at 119394. But he is replied with a gun pointing at his head.
"Don't worry, we just take your 'bird' to somewhere safe. As you can see, the truck cannot enter this route and commander dislikes if someone spoils his garden." Then 119394 stares at him icily and continues, "and I hate when people yells at me."
"Damn, she is sure hard to be handled." Basara sits back on his seat, continues, "What ever it is, you better gave my Valkyire back after I met your so-called commander, Miss 119394."
"!" 119394 surprised when Basara notices her gender. "How did you…"
Just when 119394 asks, the jeep has already reached the main door. Basara jumps and gets off the jeep, stand still along with his spiked hair pointing up high, replies, "Cause your waist is too small for a man, plus your tone of voice is a little higher than any man I know." His answer makes 119394's face blushes a bit. While the other soldiers holds Basara so he won't get away, she says, "Take him to the commander, he is waiting." Then Basara is taken to the commander, while 119394 follows at their back.
Macross 7
"Any news about him?" Sitting on his dark leather-made manager chair, Max is questioning the captain of the searching team for the missing rock star.
"Unfortunately, sir. We got no sign of Basara yet, neither his life signal nor his Valkyrie." The captain answers.
"Well then, keep on your searching." As Max allows the soldier to leave, the telephone rings.
"Yes." Max answers the call.
"Sorry for the disturbing, Commander Maximilian. But the mayor wants to talk with you." Sara, the bridge communicator says.
"Connect her to me then." Max says and opens the phone monitor, then Milia Jenius's face appears at the screen.
"Yes, Milia. What do you want to talk with me?" Max looks at his wife and says.
"I am demading an answer." Milia crosses her arms before her chest and says.
"As you can see, we are also busy on the searching recently." Max holds his chin with his crossed fingers and replies with the tiring tone. "And still, we got no sign of him at all."
"TAK!" Milia slams on her table and says. "Why do you always gives the same kind of answers for any question I asked? Can't you just give any good news at all for once?"
Max maintains his silence as he knows he got no excuse for her quastion. "All I can do now is trying my best ."
"Then try harder!" Milia stares at her husband angrily. "You know what it takes to make Mylene smile again, right?" Max says nothing, as deep in his mind he knows well about how important Basara's bond with his daughter, either as partner or as band member of Fire Bomber.
"I will try all I can to get Basara back, Milia. " Max finally breaks his mute and answers Milia, then he continues, "By the way, Milia, thanks for informing me about Mylene. It's been a while I does not see her since I am too busy on the work." Milia looks back at her tiring husband and says with a sense of caring, "So do I, and I think you should get yourself some time for our daughter, Max."
Max nods to his wife and gives a little smile, says, "I will." He looks at his watch and continues, "I have to go now, Milia. Duty calls. I promise I will pay Mylene a visit at night. Goodbye."
"Good bye." Then Max wears his captain hat and leaves the office.
Basara's dimension
"Good to see you, Mr. Basara. I am Grenaldo, the commander and president of Modarms. My men had informed me about your arrival just now. I am sorry that I can't welcome in person."
"I will prefer you are not the one welcomes me if you use more than just guns." Basara thinks, he stares at the man that sits on a well made wooden chair that is carved with the artistic curves and flows upon the legs, he looks carefully at the man who the soldier called commander all the time, he is wearing olive green army uniform, dark brown leather boots, wearing ebony leather belt with a combat knife and a magnum attached on each side, there are also lots of colorful badges sew on the uniform's chest part, showing that he has the highest rank and the leader for the army. His face that fulls of scars and determined stare gives Basara a feeling that he had survived from many kinds of dangerous wars.
"Thanks for your concern, but too bad I am not interested in meeting someone who loves war." Basara says in arrogant tone, like he always did to those who fights blindly. The soldier besides him immediately hits his stomach with the rifle's holder's edge and shouts, "Watch your mouth when you speak to the commander."
Grenaldo raises his hand to sign his soldier to calm down, then he says, "Please forgive my men, Mr. Basara." But it is not what Basara thinks, "After what I got from your soldier and took my Valkyrie? Forget it!" Staring at his front, Basara tries his best not to become berserk. "Then what do you want me here for, mister? You won't just ask me here for a simple meeting like this and chat?"
"Eventually, I am interested in your ability to stun my men and enemies during the war last time. I would like to have a trade with you." Grenaldo says as he is threatening Basara.
"And it would be…" Basara replies.
"I want you to join me and fight those oldies, in exchange I can give you any price you want, just name it." Grenaldo finally states his purpose. Eventually, after he studied his commander's report, he knows that ther is flying birdman who can makes lots of annoying noise and makes each one on the field suffers great headache. Therefore Grenaldo manage if he can get Basara's help, he can win the war all within no time.
"Cih! Another comrade of Bluton!" Basara suddenly thinks the man who commands him to use his music to fight Protodevlin back in Macross 7. "Don't even think about it! My music is not a weapon to you!" He yells at the proposer.
"Ah… so that weapon's name is 'music', huh? I like that, sounds artistic." Grenaldo says. "Well, I think you misunderstand me, Mr. Basara. I fight those oldies just want to reach a union between us, a chance to balance our modern technology and their old knowledge." Then Grenaldo stands up and walks towards Basara, while his soldiers start to hold him tighter. Then he continues, "As you can see, the world is turning and we need to move forward, unlike those who still live in their little old outdated life without mechanical help. They need someone to give them a hand to move, a man to show them the way of revolution, someone like me."
Basara is speechless, and it makes Grenaldo thinks that he might be able to persuade. "So, Mr. Basara. I hope you can understand my feeling, I only wants to help them and…"
"Don't try to talk like you are a god!" Suddenly Basara shouts at the commander, along stare at him with determined eyes, "You may be right for your little own idea of revolution! But still that makes you no difference than a butcher if takes other lives to reach it! To be frank, I rather live in a peaceful life, compare to live with a war maniac like you!"
Grenaldo is pissed off. He firstly gives Basara a heavy punch on his stomach for his rudeness, then says, "Mr. Basara, I think you need more time to think of my proposal. Take him to his room." Then the soldier holds the fainted Basara away from the room.
"How about his 'bird', sir?" 119394 asks.
"Examine it and find out how he use it, you idiot!" the angry Grenaldo orders.
