Squad time. Forced deployments are Falsaber and Raijin-Oh. The squads I’ll be deploying are Jojo/Nie, Mic/Luca, Koji/Sayaka, Guy/Shanalua, Shou/Alex, Kio/Seric, Gorg/Canaria, Knight/Obright, SKL/Yuuki, GekiRyuJin/Aisha, ChoRyuJin/Marvel, Riddhe/Ryoko, Alto/Captain, Leon/Oma, Akito/Akatsuki, Volfogg/Keen, and Michael/Klan. Anyone I don’t mention in these squads are warming the bench. Ozma is once again the tactician and will probably be my default unless required for a secret or until tactician upgrades start rolling out.
Last time, we defeated the Leg Primeval and saved the world from cosmic radiation.

[???]

: So, you’ve finally found them…

: Yes, only after Bruvictor returned to Earth. The Zeon Clan must have already known where they were, but kept that information from us.

: They wouldn’t be so stupid as to show us all their cards from the start. If we didn’t share similar goals, we would be enemies.

: I apologize. If only we could manifest you in this world, then there would be no need to cooperate with those people…

: I don’t need an apology. Show your sincerity with your actions, Divoti.

: I will.

: Send Bruvictor after them. He should already know where they are.

: After they reappeared on Earth, they headed to a place called Japan. But Bruvictor is…

: Send him in anyway. It’ll be a good opportunity to see what happens. Destroy them all and have them become the foundation of a new beginning…

[JDF Base, Grounds]

: Finally, back on terra firma… Being on a battleship was quite the experience, but I don’t feel at home unless my feet are on the ground.

: Heh. As a scholar, you seemed very excited when you were on Earst.

: I wonder why we’re resupplying all the way here. There must have been a closer base.

: We know that the commander of this base is on good terms with Commander Algreus.

: Considering what’s going on in the military, this is the best place for us to be.

: This planet is chock full of issues. I’m glad the commander here is a reasonable person.

: He may seem reliable, but he did ask us to investigate something in return for supplies.

: You mean about the debris from the Jupiter vessel that the Feds sank a while ago?

: Yes. They were expected to burn up in reentry, but instead they just fell onto the surface. Apparently a few pieces fell somewhere around here too.

: So they asked us to look into the debris.

: More importantly, when are you gonna take us back to Austral Island!?

: We can’t let GAIL keep messing up our ancestor’s island forever!

: As I told you earlier, it’s not that easy to get to the island right now. You’ll just have to wait until the time is right.

: But…

: Hey, we’re worried about everyone at White Valley back on Earst, but we’re not complaining!

: That’s right. There’s also the possibility that Austral holds the key for returning to Earst.

: Tomenik…

: I know you’re feeling anxious, but why not use this as an opportunity to learn about things you can’t learn about on the island?

: From that perspective, Japan would be good for you. The atmosphere is completely different compared to Austral or Earst.

: This is completely new for us…

: It’s been a while since I was last in Japan… Maybe it’s because we ended up on another planet, but it feels like forever since we were last here.

: That’s right… It’s been about half a year since I was sent to Byston Well too…

: Youta isn’t training again, is he? Since we’re back in Japan, he really needs to take it easy and rest for a bit…

: He seemed really upset about losing to Bruvictor twice.

: (I’m more worried about the path he’s heading down…)

: Still, compared to the HRL territory we appeared in, this country seems more peaceful.

: I wouldn’t call it peaceful. Japan is still under attack from the Jaaku Empire and Dr. Hell.

: In a place where so many different enemies are attacking, even the Vagans and Jovian Lizards have second thoughts about invading here.

: It’s ironic that all the invaders attacking Japan act as a deterrent for other invaders.

: Things on Upper Earth are a lot more complicated than what Shou and Marvel told me.

: Is everyone on the Goraon native to Byston Well?

: Yeah. Because of that, we couldn’t really talk to the HRL and a certain someone almost blasted us.

: Once again, I apologize, Keen.

: Hehe. You’re good. I just wanted to tease you a bit.

: But it is still kinda peaceful. It also seems like the JDF has become stronger since I was last here.

: It’s because of our desperate negotiations.

: It’s been a while, Chief Takeda. It seems like you’ve been having a lot of trouble.

: You think? Thankfully we were able to squeeze out a few state-of-the-art mechs from the military after bothering them nonstop.

: But surely there were many who were reluctant to help you. Even though it’s now a mere formality, Japan is still a neutral country.

: That's why, in order to spread the word, we’re hosting an event for the public to show off these new mechs.

: Wow. I thought I was seeing more civilians than normal. Didn’t know there was an event going on.

: Mmhmm. It’s more popular than I expected. We’re short on manpower, so we’ve been asking some members of your unit to help out.

: Who did you ask?

[JDF Base, Event Venue]

: Welcome to the JDF Base, which will shine like the sun on everyone’s future. Feel free to shake my hand.

: Wow! I’ve never seen a Gundam like you before!
(Child)

: Make sure to take care of your friends. That’s what a Gundam would do.

: Bau?

: What are you two doing?

: I was asked to play the role of a “Mascot Character”.

: It seems like a job to help gain everyone’s support.

: Well, you seem to be very popular. They don’t know that you’re actually alive, do they?

: That’s right… Civilians would probably think you’re both just mascots.

: Yes. This is the latest federation mobile suit, the Clanche! And that one there’s another cutting edge machine, the GN-XIV! It’s equipped with Trans-Am, a function that temporarily boosts the mech’s performance. It wasn’t available in previous models!

: Megumi, you’re amazing… You really are a voice actress.

: Akito… Umm, sorry. I was asked to help out elsewhere. Excuse me…
[She leaves]

: Ah…

: Those two have been like that ever since we came back from space.

: Weren’t they lovers?

: Akito and Meg have never been like that ever! Akito loves me!

: Well, ignoring our Captain’s outburst…

: Apparently adult relationships aren’t that simple.

: I’ll bite. Ruri, do you have much experience in that area?

: No. It’s just something Minato told me. I’m still a child so I don’t really understand those things.

: …

: This is your chance…

: This is your chance…
(Said at the same time)

: W-what are you talking about!? I don’t know what you think about me and Tenkawa…

: (No one mentioned Akito’s name…)

: Being an adult must be hard. Everyone in the Earth Defense Class gets along so well at least.

: Oh? Mamoru?
(Hana Hatsuno. GaoGaiGar. CV: Konami Yoshida)

: H-Hana!?

: It really is you, Mamoru!

: Do you know each other?

: She’s Hana Hatsuno, Mamoru’s classmate and girlfriend.

: G-girlfriend? She’s just…

: Hahaha… Oh, right! Why are you here, Mamoru? I heard from your parents that you were travelling with Nergal.

: Um… Well…

: He’s still touring with Nergal. This just happened to be Mamoru’s next stop.

: Really? I thought maybe you’d come back home, but I guess not…

: I’m sorry. But what brings you here?

: My cousin Ayame brought me here. She loves watching robots and stuff like that on TV.

: Are you having a hard time?

: Not really. I’ve made some new friends here. I’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear it, but he’s apparently the younger brother of Mazinger Z’s pilot.

: You can’t be talking about…

: You guessed it, bro!

: Shiro!

: Wow, so you’re Shiro’s older brother!?

: Shiro, did you come here all by yourself?

: Tch tch tch. Sayaka, please don’t think of me as such a lonely person. Hey, Lorelei!

: What’s up, Shiro?
(Lorelei Heinrich. Shin Mazinger. CV: Saki Fujita)

: Oh, what a cutie. Are you a foreigner?

: Yes. I’m from Germany. My name is Lorelei Heinrich. It’s nice to meet you!

: So this is your girlfriend, huh? Koji, you can’t leave your brother alone like that.

: G-GIRLFRIEND!? Are you serious, Shiro!?

: Yup! Apparently she moved next door not too long ago. I fell in love at first sight. Her lovely and graceful personality, her captivating blue eyes…

: Ufufu. My dear Shiro.

: Heh. Shiro, you’ve done well for yourself since we last met.

: Both Mamoru and Shiro’s relationships are precious as heck…

: It feels weird having my little brother get ahead of me like that… But as his older brother, I ask you to treat him well, Lorelei!

: Hehe. Leave it to me!

: (Good grief. Love is in the air… It’s a shame our “princess” is preoccupied with the Galactic Fairy…)

[Macross Quarter, Infirmary]

: …
(Darkened)

: Sheryl…

: Um, how’s Sheryl doing?

: I did a thorough inspection, but there’s no evidence that Mardoul physically harmed or drugged her. Her condition doesn’t seem to be improving. I don’t know when she’ll wake up.

: It’s sad that she’s like this after reuniting with Alto…

: But at least we rescued her. That’s far better than being separated.

: It’s fine. She’ll definitely wake up. I’ll be by her side until that day. Thank you, Mina. It’s thanks to you, I was able to meet Sheryl again.

: …Did Leon or Aisha tell you anything about me?

: Yes… They said that you were a survivor of an ancient civilization that existed on the planet Aisha was stationed on.

: And that you’re not from this era…

: My singing has special powers. I was sleeping until I met Leon and Aisha for thousands or tens of thousands of years… It was so long that when I woke up, I lost all memories of my friends and family…

: You forgot everyone… That sounds so lonely…

: But when I met Leon and Aisha, I was reminded of how warm a family can be. Alto, Sheryl, and everyone else… They treated me the same even after I got my memories back. That makes me really happy…
(TL Note: Play Macross 30)

: Mina…

: So that’s why you sang back then. You knew that we would ask you about your past…

: I’m sorry, Leon and Aisha… You two tried so hard to hide my past in order to protect me.

: Don’t worry about it. Now that it’s exposed, there’s nothing we can do about it. Even if some weirdo comes after you, I’ll protect you.

: Besides… You’re our Mina. I know you really miss singing.

: Yes… I want to help everyone who’s important to me.

: …

: You don’t need to say anything more, Mina.

: Huh?

: Everyone adored your singing. That’s a fact.

: Ah…

: Heh… What a cool line.

: Thank you for accepting Mina.

: Of course I accept her. It was thanks to her singing that I was able to fly without hesitating. Of course, all of you helped out too.

: Hehehe… That’s just like you, Alto.

: ?

: (It’s because of Sheryl and Ranka’s feelings for you that I’ve realized my own feelings for Leon…)

: (Go for it, Mina. You can do it…)

: (What can I do for her…)

: Excuse me, Lieutenant Canaria. Could you please come to the JDF hangar?

: Luca, what’s going on?

: Um… It seems there’s a bit of a dispute…

[JDF Base, Hangar]

: Jin, I never thought you’d tell such a lame lie!

: You think I’d tell such a stupid lie like that!?

: Jin was with us the whole time! We can prove he’s telling the truth!

: Then all you boys are complicit too!

: Now you’re just insulting us!

: Can you kids calm down? We’re in the JDF base!

: Um… Are they fighting?

: Apparently something fell in Hinobori and they went to go check it out…

: It was a UFO! I’m absolutely sure of it!

: It really was! We saw it with our own eyes! It was the wreckage of a UFO!

: But it wasn’t there when we went together!

: And this “alien in full body tights”!? It was probably just some sketchy old man!

: Aliens in full body tights is like something out of an old tokusatsu drama.

: We Zentradi dress better than that.

: It only makes sense if you become a child when you turn into a miclone.

: Hey! I heard that!

: What’s the point of you two fighting too!?

: Hey, everyone! What happened to your normal teamwork!?

: Exactly. If you take away that teamwork, what do you have left?

: Mr. Shinoda, that’s mean!

: What the heck is wrong with you girls!?

: From this point on, us boys and girls will never be friends again!

: That’s my line! I won’t talk to you again even if the Earth is going to end!

: That’s right! That’s right!

: Hehe. Things are getting interesting! Go go! Fight more!

: Special Lieutenant Kaido! Don’t provoke them!

: To think they’d fight over something as trivial as a UFO…

: How childish.

: Even if they’re the Earth Defense Class, they’re still kids. Seeing them fight like this just reminds me that they’re still so young.

: Everyone is saying what they want without holding back…

: …

: (A crashed UFO and some weirdly dressed aliens… It looks like they’ve caught onto me after all…)

[Hinobori, Mountainside]

: This is Class B3 Investigator, Uoozben. Please respond.

: Ugh… I guess long distance communication isn’t possible in this star system either. Even if I wanted to continue the mission, with my ship in this condition…

: I figured it was you, Uoozben…

: Hilmuka!

[JDF Base, Hangar]

: It seems like a lot has happened since I was out…

: Youta, have you finished your training?

: Um…

: We realized there was no point in continuing. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t like doing pointless things.

: What do you mean by pointless?

: If you’re going to be his guardian, you should know what I mean. Or are you just playing dumb?

: …

: Well, it doesn’t matter to me. So, Youta.

: Yes?

: One final piece of advice. I know you’re fighting to keep a promise you made to your father. If you keep fighting like that, you’ll die.

: !

: Guess I’ll go see what this event’s food is like.
[Akatsuki leaves]

: …

: Youta…

: …Hey, Falsaber…

: What is it?

: What was your last fusion partner like?

: !

: I’ve been curious about them for a while now. Unlike a half-baked guy like me, they must have been quite good…

: …He was an incredible man, fierce in strength and will, yet gentle in spirit. And above all else, he valued his promises…

: He sounds like a great guy… It was thanks to him that Destrook’s invasion was halted for six months…

: Yeah.

: I see…

: Youta… Can I tell you one more thing?

: …What?

: I’ve sworn to fight alongside you to the bitter end. That’s my true and unaltered wish.

: Falsaber…

: I know the true nature of your feelings, but my feelings for you remain unchanged.

: …

: (Everyday life that’s far from peaceful… Youta is doing a great job while being surrounded by that environment. But he’s doing it all for her…)

[Hinobori Academy, In Front of the Building]

: Making us go back to school and clean as punishment for fighting? Mr. Shinoda is awful.

: I’m sorry that you’re helping us, Yuki.

: It’s fine. I have nothing better to do.

: Man, I wanted to hang out in town for the first time in forever like Mamoru.

: It’s all the boys’ fault!

: …Hey, what if there really was a UFO in those mountains, but it left?

: Why are you bringing that up now, Maria?

: I was angry earlier and overreacted, but he had a very serious look in his eyes. I don’t think Jin was lying…

: Maria! Are you betraying us!?

: I’m not betraying you or anything…

: Maria, you’re a member of the girls committee. Please be on our side…

: Mmm…

: Hey everyone! The boys are slacking off!

: What do they think they’re doing!? Let’s tell them off!
[The girls leave]

: Oh… Everyone’s gone…

: How did it end up like this…

: Baaaaa~
(Carol. Raijin-Oh. CV: A goat)

: A goat…?

: Hey, Carol… I need your advice…

: I’m not a goat, but I’ll hear you out.

: Ms. Himeki…

: He sent you back to school because he thought you all were unconsciously building up stress. It seems Mr. Shinoda’s thoughtfulness didn’t work out.

: Huh?

: So that’s what Mr. Shinoda was thinking.

: He’s your teacher. He’s watching everyone closely.

: …To adults like Mr. Shinoda, our fights must seem really stupid…

: You see… I was in fights like this back when I was in elementary school.

: You too?

: Half of us ganged up on the other half because we thought they were lying. I knew they weren’t the type to lie, but I didn’t have the courage to speak up.

: Courage?

: Yes. The courage to believe in others, and the courage to believe in yourself. The same goes for you too, Yuki.

: Me?

: You seem to be worried about something. Maybe I was mistaken?

: …You’re amazing, Ms. Himeki.

: I’m a teacher too. I’m not teaching you kids for nothing. Both of you, believe in yourselves.

: Thank you, Ms. Himeki!

[Hinobori, Mountainside]

: I see… So you hid your craft underground. Those kids would never have noticed.

: Hilmuka, you’ve been in contact with the natives, haven’t you? Why!? You must have known that’s unacceptable behavior for a class B3 investigator!

: To protect the Galaxy. I’m just doing my duty.

: Is that why you’re cooperating with natives of both Earst and this planet?

: It’s been confirmed that the civilization of Earst is in a dangerous state of development. And it’s all because of Mardoul.

: If what you say is true, then a certain amount of interference is permissible. But that’s not for you to decide. You need to plead your case at a hearing.

: There’s no time for that! Mardoul has already teleported to this planet! Don’t you realize what this means!?

: There’s no need to worry about that. Mardoul will never return to Earst again.

: Sure, there’s no surefire way to teleport to Earst at the moment, but he’ll find a way eventually.

: That’s not what I’m talking about. Listen carefully, Hilmuka… This planet is being targeted!

: By whom?

[Residential Area, A Room]

: So? You’ve lost contact with your Anaheim Technical College friends?
(Amia’s Friend)

: Yeah… I was still in contact with them when I returned from studying abroad, but…

: Did something happen at this Industrial 7 place?

: But there’s nothing in the news…

: UWAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(???. Darkened)

: W-what!? That voice came from outside…

: W-wait a second, Amia! The door!

: It turned to metal!? W-why!?

: …
(???)

: Eek! W-who are you!?

: …

: S-stay away…

: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Hinobori, Mountainside]

: The people who did that to your ship are heading to Earth?

: They’ve probably already reached the surface. You still have time. Come home with me, Hilmuka.

: Going home…

: Neither this planet nor Earst are places where we should interfere. As I said before, Mardoul and everyone else will die here.

: I wonder if that’s really the case.

: Huh?

: Uoozben, I’m staying here.

: Hilmuka, why would you…
[Earthquake]

: What was that!?

: The town is on fire!?
Chapter 17: Make Everyone’s Hearts as One!

: I’m not scared… I’m not scared…

: Mobile suits are attacking the town! What happened to the JDF!?

: Everyone, let’s run away! L-Lorelei, take my hand! Don’t get separated!

: O-okay…

: Those mechs are supposed to be in training exercises! What the hell are they doing!? Tell them to stop this stupid behavior immediately!

: Ummm… Chief… Those mobile suits have no pilots aboard them! They’re all unmanned!

: Dear god…

Diva and Gran Garan are mandatory, but you can choose between the Nadesico, Quarter, or Goraon for the third battleship.

: Dang it! Our town!

: (Being forced to deploy without reconciling with everyone…)
(All Earth Defence Class characters except Jin, Kouji, and Asuka are on the phone)

: We’ll subdue the rampaging mobile suits! Everyone, deploy!

: Yurika, is it true those mobile suits are unmanned?

: Deadly serious! I just got word from the JDF commander!

: It’d be one thing if they were Ghosts, but a manned mech going out of control is a bit…

: !

: What’s wrong, Lady Peries?

: They’re aiming straight for us!

: But why only at Gran Garan?

: They’re attracted to Soma and my quantum brain waves!

: Quantum brain waves?

: It’s like a special signal that can be sent between humans. Only a select few can use them though.

: Only Super Soldiers like those two or the recently discovered Innovators can use them. But those machines are unmanned.

: That just means there’s something wrong about them. Of course we can’t ignore the possibility that he’s just lying to us to preserve his reputation…

: I don’t think he’s that kind of guy.

: Are you sure? There are times when boys can’t be trusted.

: What was that!? The same goes for girls too!

: You’re not helping!

: This isn’t the time to be fighting!

Shut up! I’m pissed off! I’m just going to go and beat up a few bad guys!

: What the heck are those kids doing!? How can they fight at a time like this!?

: Youta, let’s back Raijin-Oh up!

: Okay! Let’s finish this quickly!

: Youta…

: If these were Ghosts, that’s one thing, but what if they’re manned mechs going out of control!? Anyway, let’s get this situation under control! All units, begin suppressing those berserk mechs!
(TL Note: What, no Fire Bomber reference? Lame.)
There’s just a few pilotless mobile suits to fight. They’re really weak and not really worth talking about. However…
SECRET ALERT
Danube α1 Mandatory #1A and #2A
Make sure Koji is deployed and have him defeat 10 enemies on this stage.
There’s a route split coming up, and this is only mandatory if you’re planning to not take the Japan route. If you are, then you can skip these steps. We’ll go over the route split in the next update with the usual intermission.

Have Mic do this two to three times at the start of every stage and it becomes a cakewalk. +20 or +30 will before combat starts is a huge advantage. Shame Mic or his partner won’t gain the will themselves, but it’s a small price to pay.
The plot continues when all mobile suits are defeated.

: The berserk mechs have been destroyed!

: Finally, we can relax…

: Um, everyone… Since we managed to win with teamwork, why don’t we go looking for that UFO again? Can we just all make up?

: Why are you saying that now? That was a piece of cake even without all of you girls’ help!

: Um… Do you think you can do this without my radar work?

: You just stare at your silly little radar. They were able to win because I took great care in maintaining their weapons!

: And you can’t do anything without me monitoring your energy levels!

: They’re still fighting. I wish they would make up soon…

: Things are getting even worse now…

: Lord Belzeb! Lord Belzeb! Now’s our chance while they’re infighting!

: You always rely on me. Can’t you do something by yourself for once!?

: Are those Akudama just for show?

: I’ve worked hard to collect them, but I can’t handle this many on my own!

: You useless buffoon! Let’s do it, Falzeb!

:
JAAKU POWER!

:
IRRADIATE!

: What’s with this smoke!?

: It’s exhaust fumes! There’s a lot of exhaust fumes being spread all over the area!

: I can’t see a damn thing!

The exhaust fumes are clearing… What was that?

: Did the smoke really clear?

: The visibility is still pretty poor!

: Huh!? But the video feed looks fine…

: We’ve confirmed abnormalities in all sensors on all ships and mechs!

: What!?

: Hahahahahahaha! Their vision has been blocked! Go finish them off, Exhausts!

: Jaaku Beasts!

: Those exhaust fumes just now were coming from those Jaaku Beasts! Our sensors must be going haywire because of something that was lacing their gas!

: That’s cheating!

: Dang. I can’t see my surroundings very well…

: To think that smoke would affect us Gundam Tribe as well…

: All units, set your sensors to maximum sensitivity and engage the Jaaku Beasts!

: Easier said than done. It’s going to be pretty hard to aim like this!

: But we have no choice! We need to defend the town!

: Everyone…
There’s some Jaaku Beasts to the south now. Despite what happened in the cutscene, your units’ accuracy is unaffected, so don’t worry about it. If your accuracy is actually hit, then I never noticed and the strategy guide doesn’t mention it. However, remember that if the Exhausts attack hits, that unit loses attack power until the end of your next turn.
The plot continues when there are 5 enemy squads left or 3 turns have passed since the last cutscene.

: There’s a ping on the radar! Something’s coming this way! It’s…Bruvictor!

: Falsaber’s presence confirmed. Commencing combat.

: Bruvictor… He’s back again…

: (Can I win? Even as I am now?)

: Destrook, don’t do anything unnecessary… But first, Raijin-Oh must be taken down!

: Waaah! They’re attacking everywhere!

: Destrook is attacking as well…

: Raijin-Oh and everyone will lose!

: Tsutomu, do you have a plan!?

: I thought we weren’t supposed to talk even if the Earth was going to be destroyed?

: Dummy! This isn’t the time for that!

: The only ones who can save everyone are us, the Earth Defense Class!

: Please think of something!

: Well, if we could create rain clouds using a tornado and high heat, the rain could wash away the jamming particles and give us back the advantage.

: That sounds like something EnRyuu and HyouRyuu can do…

: Our sensors are damaged, so it’ll be hard to get the timing right!

: In that case, the only other units we have that can pull it off are Falsaber and Raijin-Oh!

: But Falsaber and I can’t even see our surroundings properly!

: Then I’ll help out!
(Yuki is outside the ships, two squares south of Falsaber)

: Yuki!?

: When did you get off of the ship!?

: If I fuse with Falsaber, I’ll be able to sense the surroundings. Then…

: You idiot! It’s dangerous, so get back to the ship immediately!

: No!

: !?

: If I run away now… If everyone gets killed…

: I’ll be all alone again! I’ll go back to the way I was before I had anything!

: Yuki…

: …She’s been fighting her fears for a long time now. Her fear is different, yet very much the same as yours…

: !

: To think you’d come out in a place like this, you stupid 3D person! Go and kill them!
[Explosions everywhere]

: Kyaa!

: Yuki!

: I won’t run away…

: I will never run away! I will fight with Youta, Falsaber, and everyone else!

: …Youta.

: Come here! Yuki!!

: Ok!
[Yuki fuses with Falsaber]

: That’s…

: I understand… Now that I’m with them, we’ll fight together!

: We can’t lose either!

: Let’s work together and make Tsutomu’s plan a success!

: Anyone who’s free, please help out! We, the Earth Defense Class, will help everyone!

: Everyone…

: Let’s do it, Raijin-Oh! I need everyone in the Defense Class to support you!

: Are you sure that’s okay!?

: I believe in you, so please believe in me!

: …Alright. I’ll leave it to you, Maria!

: Youta, Falsaber, believe in me! I need both of you to promise me!

: Of course!

: Not as someone to be protected, but someone to help protect!

: It looks like they’re planning something…

: I won’t give you the chance!



: What!?

: Too bad for you!

: We can see through your movements!

: Youta, shoot straight ahead!

: Let’s go! FALBLAAAAAAAAAZE!

: Now, Jin! Have Raijin-Oh spin and create a tornado!

: Leave it to me! DERYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

: Perfect timing, Jin!

: What amazing teamwork…

[It starts raining]

: It’s raining… Hooray, it’s actually raining!

: Our sensors are returning to normal… This is it… We can do it!

: We’re simply back on equal footing. Your defeat remains unchanged.

: I’m different now than I was before. Time to show you what I got, Bruvictor!
Nothing’s really changed on the map except there are Destrook grunts and Bruvictor to the north, and one more Exhaust squad to the south.

What has changed is Yuki is now a subpilot for Falsaber. Her suite of support spirits including the all important Tailwind (gives Accel to a designated squad) is always useful.

: Raijin-Oh is operated by everyone in the Earth Defense Class… How could we forget something so important…

: Asuka, I’m sorry for saying a lot of mean things to you boys.

: It’s fine. Us boys got worked up too. We regret our actions.

: Now that we’re all united, the Earth Defense Class won’t lose to anyone! Let’s do it, Jin!

: Yeah! Let’s goooooooooo!

: This feeling… I feel the two of you are even stronger and closer than before!

: Yuki, we can feel your soul and your strong feelings… I promised to protect you, so I don’t want to drag you into the fighting, but…

: Let’s not go there, Falsaber. She understands our feelings, but still made this choice regardless. Let’s go! Yuki is both someone we need to protect and a comrade who will fight alongside us!
Bruvictor’s the same as he was on Earst. Just let him get close and jump him. I’m pretty sure his AI will prioritize Falsaber, but I’m not completely sure.
And now for the Bruvictor boss dialogs.

: A weapon from Byston Well, another world… I’ll use my power to pierce its barrier!

: I know half-hearted attacks and movements won’t work on him… I wish Billbine was ready…

: There’s no point in complaining! The Shou I know isn’t a complainer!

: …

: Gorg is on guard against him! He knows Bruvictor is dangerous!

: That giant god’s strength is off the charts… If possible, I want to bring it back to Destrook for research material.

: That’s Raijin-Oh, the weapon used by the warrior of light, Eldran… I’ll destroy it!

: He knows about Eldran!?

: Heh. So even invaders from another world know about him. Eldran must be famous!

: Let’s not worry about that right now! The enemy must know what Raijin-Oh is capable of! Let’s fight with caution!

: You’ll be defeated by my power, just like Falsaber.

: Heh… You seem to be underestimating Falsaber. If you keep thinking we’re all the same, you’ll be taken down!

: If you weren’t there, we might have been able to stop Mardoul’s teleportation!

: It’s pointless to make assumptions about a battle that’s already finished. The outcome of this battle will be the same as well.

: I’ll prove you wrong! I’ll defeat you here and make this the first step towards peace!

: You were with Knight Zenon Mantha! Does that mean the Zeon Tribe and Destrook have joined forces!?

: I have nothing to say to my enemy. All you need to do is fight with all you’ve got… Let’s go, heroic Gundam!

: When it comes to speed, the Delta Plus is pretty good. But after watching him fight twice, he’s not bad either…

: There’s no point in competing on speed alone. I’m much stronger than you!

: The latest weaponry is worthless before Destrook’s technology!

: If you’re the guardian of Destrook, then my Gundam is the savior of humanity! I will never lose!

: Humans may not be the best, but wanting to rule other worlds shows that greed is eternal!

: The powerful rule the weak. That’s Destrook’s philosophy and the law of the universe.

: Back at the battle on Earst, his fighting power increased as that music was played on the battlefield. What the hell was that…

: It seems you don’t understand emotions! When you fly for those you care about, your wings can only grow stronger!

: I know your target is Falsaber, but I won’t let you get to him so easily!

: No problem. I’ll defeat you first, and then Falsaber. That’s the mission I’ve been given.

: They’re coming at me head on despite my power… They seem to prefer a straightforward approach…

: Ha! Like I need to think about something like that!

: Remember, the people before you are only thinking about defeating their enemy!

: Earth’s weaponry… They’re no match for me, Lady Divoti’s creation.

: Just say whatever you want! It’s not like I’m fighting alone! We just need to work together!

: You’ve added more fusion partners to increase your fighting power… How pointless.

: Bruvictor! The reason we fused with Yuki wasn’t just to win this fight!

: I fused with them because I don’t want to lose either Falsaber or Youta!

: This may be a bit cliche, but I’ll teach you just how powerful the strength of those who protect is, Bruvictor!

: …I’m nearing my limit. Before I can no longer maintain my form, I need to take down Falsaber.

: No matter where I am, no matter how far I have to go, I will see my mission through…

: Bruvictor…

: He’s coming straight for us. We can’t escape…

: We’ll hold off Bruvictor! You guys stay back!

: No. We’ll take care of him.

: Youta!?

: Don’t be so stubborn! You don’t think we know you’re afraid of him!?

: Yeah… I’m scared as hell… But I have to confront the reality in front of me…

: In the end, as long as I’m fused with Falsaber, there’s no way I can win…

: Then…

: But I’ll still get through this! Guy, Cross, and Akatsuki trained me. I don’t want everyone’s efforts to go to waste! And above all, I promised… No! To carry out my father’s will, I will fight with Falsaber!

: Youta, you…

: Well, there’s no way around it…

: Then we won’t say anything else. You won’t lose!

: Show us the courage that allowed you to overcome your fear!

: Thank you, everyone.

: Youta…

: Yeah, I know…

: Let’s kick his ass, Falsaber! All three of us!
Super Robot Wars BX - Aerial Spark

: I’ve been waiting to hear those words!

: Let’s do it, all of us!

: FALSABEEEERRRRRR!!

: (We’ll get through this… Everyone… Falsaber… Together with Yuki and everyone who believes in me!)

: OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!













: …

: …

: W-who won…?

: …Guh!

: So it really was in vain!?

: No. It’s not over yet.

: GAH!
[Bruvictor collapses]

: Bruvictor went down too!

: Haaa… Haaa… It’s not over yet… Let’s settle this, Bruvictor…

: Guh… What did you do to me…?

: Huh?

: What is this… Something like this…has never been inside of me before…

: There’s something strange going on with him…

: I am… I am… Gah!

: He ran away?

: Something strange happened to him back on Earst too…

: Bruvictor… You’re…
At this point, Falsaber has obtained a new attack, Aerial Spark. It’s a close ranged finisher. If there are still enemies left, Falsaber is below 10% HP. Hopefully there’s no one near him to pick him off.
The map is over when all enemies are defeated.

: So they overcame that disadvantage…

: Do you understand now, Uoozben? I will join them to defeat Mardoul.

: Why would you go to such lengths, even violating our non-interference rules?

: It’s for the sake of our galaxy. If you haven’t given up…
[Gun sounds]

: Are you pointing a gun at me, Hilmuka?

: Your ship’s auto-repair should be finished by now. Uoozben, leave this place.

: So you’re serious…

: Hilmuka…

Hey, over there!

: That’s it! That’s the UFO we saw in the mountains!

: Hilmuka, I won’t give up. I will take you back home…

: Ushiyama! The satellites!

: No radar response! Our satellites can’t find it!
(Phone)

: UFOs…really exist…

[Hinobori, Residential Area]

: Hana, everyone, are you alright?

: Y-yeah… Thank you, Mamoru.

: So those are BX’s robots. They were so cool and strong.

: Hehe. My big brother’s Mazinger Z is the coolest among them all!

: Yes, I saw it. It’s so big and strong. It looks like it could protect you from any enemy.

: You got that right! Mazinger was created by my grandpa. It’s the strongest Super Robot in the world!

: Hehe. Shiro, you really love Mazinger Z.

: But Ayame seemed disappointed. The robots she admired turned out like that…

: Well, everyone, why don’t you come home with me?

: Eh? To your house!? Are you sure!?

: Of course! I want to show you something special, Shiro!

: Something special…?

[???]

: You utter fool!
[Energy blast sounds and flashing lights]

: GAAAAAAAAAH!
[Bruvictor collapses]

: What is your mission? Answer me!

: As the guardian of…Destrook, I will…fulfill their ideals…

: And how can you achieve this, given all of these injuries?

: Next time… I will…

: I hope you will, Bruvictor.

: Lord Valgeass.

: Our goal is the destruction of everyone… I can accomplish that on my own. But at the same time, because of this power, I cannot do it.

: Don’t worry, Lord Valgeass. We’re exploring every possible option. I will definitely save you…

: I hope so, Divoti… And I will say it again. I hope you will stand by what you just said, Bruvictor.

: I will destroy Falsaber, our greatest obstacle, with my own hands.

: In that case, I await your next attempt…
[Valgeass disappears]

: …

: You exist to protect Destrook and defeat Falsaber. I will not allow you to betray Lord Valgeass’ expectations.

: (The meaning of my existence… Just as Lady Divoti said, it’s the same as it always was… But that vision I saw during the battle… Why is it hindering my actions?)

: Will I understand what it is if I defeat you, Falsaber…?

[JDF Base, Grounds]
[Youta and Yuki defuses]

: Ugh…

: Are you okay, Youta!?

: T-this is nothing compared to all the times I’ve gotten my butt kicked before…

: Well done, Youta. You’ve shown us your true power.

: Haha… I was only able to bring it to a draw though…

: But that final attack was splendid. I had no idea you had that sort of thing up your sleeve.

: It’s not that I always had that… I just somehow knew it would happen... And then…

: Yeah. I felt a large surge in power. That didn’t happen the last time we fused…

: Perhaps it's the result of your courage.

: Our…

: Courage…?

: You overcame your fears with the courage to believe in each other. I think that awakened a dormant power within me.

: The courage to believe in each other. The Defense Class felt that too!

: If we join forces, there’s nothing any bad guy can do! Isn’t that right, everyone!?

: Of course!

: I thought you boys and girls weren’t on speaking terms.

: We fight because we’re all good friends, Mr. Shinoda.

: That’s right!

: Those kids are stronger than you think.

: I-is that so…

: Do you think you can win next time, Youta?

: I’m sure I’ll win. As long as the three of us combine our strength.

: Are you sure!?

: We made another promise. I can’t break it, now can I?

: Yeah!

: …

: (Her judgement wasn’t wrong. He’s growing up too… He’s even surpassed the handicap with his own hard work… I will continue to watch over them. All to keep my promise to you… Makoto…)

[JDF Base, Hangar]

: The mech’s been resupplied. Are you ready, Mineva?

: I feel a bit bad about leaving without saying goodbye to everyone…

: Same here. But even as we speak, the situation on Earth is changing. I want to get you to my place as soon as possible…

: Good grief. You sure are busy, even though we just finished a battle.

: Come on, Riddhe! Why are you trying to leave without saying anything?

: Everyone…

: I heard from the Captains that you’re leaving us, Lieutenant Riddhe.

: Originally, I was here only temporarily. Now that things have settled down a bit, this is the best chance for me to leave.

: And you’re taking Audrey with you?

: …Yeah. I don’t want to bore you with my reasoning…

: Too bad… Even though we’re friends…

: Why don’t you just stay with us instead!?

: Thank you, both of you. But I have to go to do what I have to do.

: Even though this was only for a short time, I will never forget how much you cared for us. I hope to meet you all again on the battlefield somewhere.

: If possible, I’d rather we meet somewhere less dangerous.

: Heh. Got me there.

: …Alto, never leave Sheryl again.

: Of course!

: Well then, take care.

: Akatsuki Nagare, I will do what I can… Thank you for everything in space.
[The Delta Plus leaves]

: (The young master of the Marcenas family… Let’s see how the son of a Federal official operates.)

: Did something happen between you two?

: There’s no point in worrying about it. Rather than that, I’m more interested in the rampaging mobile suits from earlier.

: The rampaging mobile suits… Apparently Luca’s sensors didn’t detect any biological reactions, but…

: But mobile suits can’t move without a pilot…

: That’s for the experts to look into. Personally, I think it would be interesting if someone was remote controlling the OS from somewhere.

: Unfortunately, your hopes are wrong.

: Hilmuka! Where have you been all this time!?

: I was just exploring this new planet. And then there was that fight, yeah?

: That aside… Do you know anything about those unmanned mobile suits?

: Yeah. I overheard some smart people talking about it. The reason why those unmanned mobile suits went out of control was because of a piece of metal that flew in from outer space. To be more precise, it was caused by an extraterrestrial life form…
