Episode one opens up with the three principle characters Isamu Alva
Dyson, Guld Goa Bowman, and Myung Fang Lone together at a place called
Star Hill on the Planet Eden. Isamu and Guld attempt to make their
invention fly in the air as Myung looks on.
It is now A.D. 2040, Isamu and his Valkyrie squadron engage an alien
attack squad. After a successful but reckless battle, Isamu is sent by
his commander to the Planet Eden to be a test pilot for a new Valkyrie.
As Isamu heads towards Eden, Guld is engaging in a flight test of the
YF-21. As Isamu approaches New Edwards Base, the YF-21 speeds past
Isamu. Isamu is startled by the shockwave created from the YF-21's
speed.
Isamu is briefed on his role in the project "Supernova." He
is assigned to be the test pilot for Shinsei Industries' YF-19. He
meets Yang Neuman, Lucy, Commander Millard, and Guld. Isamu and Guld
are surprised and angered to see each other.
Guld goes through a file check of Isamu. He suddenly starts to lose
his composure and takes some pills to calm down. Isamu performs some
flight tests even though the YF-19 is going through repairs. Isamu
fails the flight simulation. Yang gets angry at him but Isamu
threatens to eat Yang unless he shuts up.
Isamu takes Lucy out on his motorcycle. As they converse, Isamu hears a
song whose voice reminds him of someone. Lucy tells him it's Sharon
Apple and that it could not be his friend because Sharon is not
human.
A press conference is being held for Sharon Apple who is not present.
In her place, Myung answers questions as Sharon's producer. Also
present are Mr. Raymond and Marje. As Guld eats lunch, he is startled
to hear and see Myung on television.
Sharon Apple arrives on Eden as a mysterious black box. The Sharon
Apple staff run a few sound tests on her AI. Marje informs Myung that
he fired to roadies and that her taxi is waiting. Myung converses with
the taxi driver about how things are different on Eden except for Star
Hill.
Isamu and Lucy enjoy a snack. Lucy tells Isamu how Sharon's songs make
her feel good. Isamu flirts with Lucy a little. Lucy suggests that
they head towards Star Hill. Isamu is bothered by that suggestion but
they head there anyway.
Myung observes the scenery at Star Hill. As she looks at the birds
flying away she is surprised to see Guld. They talk about old times
and what their occupations are nowadays. Guld asks Myung if she still
sings. With a saddened look, Myung replies no.
As Myung speaks happily about her role as producer of Sharon Apple.
Guld grabs her and tells her to forget about what happened in the past.
Myung is surprised to see Isamu and Lucy arrive. Isamu and Guld prepare
to fight each other but Myung steps in. Guld tells Isamu to stop
destroying things. Myung begins to cry and runs off. Guld tells Isamu
that he won't let him have Myung. Isamu lies to win the project.
Guld engages in a flight test of the YF-21. Isamu pilots a VF-11
Thunderbolt to record flight data. As the test begins, the brainwave
controlled YF-21 takes off. Isamu follows Guld but cannot keep up with
the speed of the YF-21. Test drones launch hundreds of high-maneuver
missiles at the YF-21. Guld evades all of them. Isamu cannot believe
it. Suddenly, some of the missiles begin chasing Isamu. Lucy informs
Isamu that the missiles are harmless. Isamu decides to evade them
anyway since Guld did. He successfully dodges them but loses one of his
boosters. Guld converts the YF-21 to Battroid mode and destroys all but
one of the test drones. As he locks on to the last one, Isamu gets in
his way and releases his other booster destroying the test drone. He
then converts to Battroid mode and is face to face with the YF-21. Guld
angrily asks Isamu what he is doing, Suddenly the wave patterns become
unstable causing the YF-21 to plummet toward the ground. As the YF-21
plummets toward the ground, Guld has flashbacks of events showing Myung
covering her body and crying while Isamu is at her side. Isamu makes
fun of the YF-21 but Millard orders Isamu to rescue Guld. Isamu
converts to Gerwalk mode and successfully rescues him carrying the
YF-21 on it's back. Guld regains control of the YF-21. He imagines what
would happen if the YF-21 were to generate a downward force. The YF-21
immediately performs what he thought. The VF-11 slides out of control.
Isamu, not seriously harmed, gets out and looks up at the descending
YF-21.
At the hanger, Isamu angrily grabs Guld and asks what happened. Guld
says to Isamu that he is surprised that he is still alive. Isamu gets
the feeling the Guld did it on purpose. As Isamu glares at Guld, Guld
says to Isamu "It was an accident." He then walks away from
Isamu.
