MACROSS 7: THE POWER OF WORD FORCE
Prologue
The concert hall was full, I could finally see my idol: Mylene Jenius. Lights and other effects such as pressurized smoke and glossy, multicolored paper filled the room.
First Neki Basara sang a wild song true to his style and then it would be Mylene's turn to perform a beautiful song like herself, or so it must have been next.
The enemy Protodevil attacked the ship and we all had to flee to the shelters. I was one of the unfortunate ones, not wounded by any enemy weapon. It was a beautiful dark angel who gave me the kiss of eternal sleep.

Chapter 1: YF-21 Reactivation
“Mr. Utis Otonashi, Mr. Utis Otonashi, can you hear me? Can you answer me?" said a doctor from the ship.
“Ug, what's wrong? Where am I?” asked Utis as his eyes grew accustomed to the strong light.
“Mr. Otonashi, you just woke up from your coma, but don't worry, the tests you've had indicate that you're not suffering from any bodily harm and you'll soon be able to be released.”
“An attack... How long have I been in a coma?”
“Just under a year. Don't worry, the enemy was defeated by the Sound Force.”
Utis Otonashi did not understand the Sound Force very well, so he asked for more explanations, which a nurse had to give him, as the doctor had a busy schedule due to the other coma patients who were beginning to wake up thanks to the use of sound energy, used by the Sound Force.

When he was getting bored of bed, he was released, but Utis' situation was not the best. His dream had always been to belong to the army or the police, since he wanted to protect the people in the space fleet with all his might.
When the Macross 7 fleet was at war with the space enemy, the army didn't make much trouble and expanded the spectrum of fit-for-service citizens, but now it was more selective and Utis was not accepted as a valkyrie pilot.
Seeing the option of being a transformable fighter pilot closed, he saw that another noble and proud option was to be part of the fleet's police force, but his aspirations were also dashed.
"What am I going to do now?" thought Utis, who wanted to protect people like his Mylene idol.
“Mr. Utis Otonashi?” Asks a guy in a military suit.
“Yes, it's me.”
“Excuse me, I'm Major Rubio Aristizabal, I come from UNSpacy headquarters on Earth. The military intelligence team looks for subjects who were exposed to the enemy's attack, we believe that the protodeviln did not attack their victims at random and that there was a pattern present.”
“And what pattern could that be?”
“That is classified information, however, you can get more information if you decide to join the UNSpacy project. Please have this card, you can contact me at any time of the day.”
“You couldn't give me any more information, this all looks very suspicious!" Utis shouted as he saw the man turn around and start to retreat at a fast pace.
“I can only tell you that it has to do with Dr. Chiba and Colonel Burton's project.”
Utis was surprised with this information, so he had managed to find out, Dr. Chiba was the one who discovered the sound energy, which was then applied to fight the enemy and heal the victims of it. For this the military created the Sound Force, which had two branches: the military branch made up of the Jamming Bird team; and the civilian branch, made up of a group of singers including Mylene Jenius and Neki Basara.

Late in the afternoon, Utis was still fiddling around in his apartment with the blessed card.
"What a frustration," he thought, as he watched his book's sales fall to zero, neither his fanfics nor his short stories posted on the Galaxy Network had achieved the success he had hoped for. "It seems that not only I, but my stories have fallen into a coma, with the difference that they have not yet awakened."
"I can't believe all the popular stories on the Galaxy Network are "rayita" and Fire Bomber."
Turning off the monitor and cursing everyone, Utis decided to accept Major Aristizabal's proposal, after all, humanity was not the big happy family it appeared to be. There was a strong and aggressive mistrust among the fleets that sailed through space, all of them distrusting each other and if that wasn't enough, there was the problem of the Earth, whose government or military leadership wanted to control everything.
"What the hell, I got nothing to lose. Of course, I can't sing... but I still have nothing to lose. This is so unfair."

The next morning, Utis and the Major took a ship that would take them straight to the planet Eden, to the Edwards military base.
Eden was within the Earth's area of influence because it was the first planet colonized by the human race and it was on its military base that the prototypes were tested: the YF-19 Alpha One, and the YF-21 Omega One, both of which would originate the production of the VF-19 Excalibur, and VF-22 Sturmvogel.
Apparently, part of the military high command could not yet forget the defeat of the Omega One at the hands of the Alpha One civilian project.
“I thought the military was in favor of the Ghost Fighter project. They finally turned their backs on his prototype," Utis said when he learned more about the purpose of his trip.
“After the disaster with the Ghost Fighter and Sharon Apple, the high command of the UNS fell into disgrace.”
"I think the Ghost Fighter project had a lot of potential, however, due to the scandal, the whole AI project was shelved.”
"The new military command believes that the time has come to reactivate the YF-21 project, especially due to the poor performance of both the VF-19 Excalibur and the VF-22 Sturmvogel, in the Macross 7 fleet's war against the Protodeviln.”
The Sturmvogel, unlike their prototype, lacked several technical aspects of both human and zentraedi origin and meltran, not to mention the BDI and BCS systems, which gave the pilot's brain information about their environment and most impressive of all, allowed it to handle the valkyrie with the mind.
“Don't tell me that in the end the Omega One lost because it was a better valkyrie than the Alpha One," Utis said in surprise.
“I would rather say that it was too much of a ship for the pilots', but yes, it is as you said.”
“Wow... but what does the YF-21 have to do with the Sound Force?”
“The Firebomber was too.... civilian for the military's taste, that's why the Jamming Bird unit was created, however, it was not very effective compared to Neki Basara's group. In addition, the Firebomber was so successful that it is planned to implement more military or civilian forces in the future that will use sound energy with the same... aesthetics as the famous rock band.”
“In other words, the military doesn't want the galaxy to be saved by a group of clowns as surely as they should call the concept of singers who also perform choreographies.”
The Major coughed because Utis had hit the nail on the head, but said nothing, but smiled halfway through.
“Please don't despair, when we get to the base you will realize what the project is about.”
Aristizabal was right, Utis could not help but open his mouth in a funny way, in a hangar at the base were the YF-21 and a Jamming Bird, apparently to Omega One was adding technology that applied sound energy.
"Well, I guess the trip was worth it. Of course I feel sorry for the Major... when he finds out I can't sing."
