an arcade. Max again defeats Miriya which has her conclude that Max is the pilot who had bested her in real combat. As Miriya storms off in anger, Max asks her to go out with him on a date which she accepts. She secretly plots to kill him though when they meet. Max arrives at the park where he eagerly awaits Miriya's arrival. Miriya then attacks him, but despite the surprise he is able to dodge her first attack. Miriya reveals that she is a (micronized to human stature) Zentraedi warrior and that her mission is to take revenge against him. She then attacks Max again, but he is eventually able to point a knife at her face while holding her down. Beaten for a third time, she falls to her knees while crying asking him to kill her as she believes she cannot live with the shame of being defeated. Max however, says that he could never harm her because she is "so beautiful". Miriya realizes that the feelings that Max has awoken within her are not of hate but of love and the two passionately kiss. Max asks Miriya to marry him to which she accepts though not knowing what marriage is. Later, Max meets with Rick Hunter to explain what occurred, and his plans to marry Miriya. Rick initially objects to Max's plans to marry her asking what a human and a Zentraedi could possibly have in common. After Max introduces her though he is amazed at how beautiful she is and he suddenly changes his mind. Captain Henry J. Gloval speaks at the wedding to congratulate the two lovers and to call for peace between the two races. The Zentraedi observe the wedding by way of intercepted television signals. Many watch with curiosity and become more attracted to the human way of life questioning their current austere lives as warriors. As the first marriage between a human and a Zentraedi, the union of Max and Miriya becomes a symbol of peace and understanding during the First Robotech War. The wedding is interrupted by a Zentraedi attack as Breetai is ordered by Dolza to send his entire fleet to destroy the SDF-1. While fighting Miriya shows Max how to disable Zentraedi power armor without killing the pilots, a tactic which is then utilized by the SDF-1's forces.
