Archived version of this chapter.
This is the start of the final Scene in the game, "The Final Battle".
Last time, the gang attacked the Superhuman Federation HQ. Altis and Seeme are dead, Mizar is desperate, and Fernando has gone AWOL out of pure rage.

Our first location brings us off the shore of Japan.

The Argama, while searching for Fernando, accidentally stumbles across Mizar's army. Shall we press the attack?

Chapter 28 (7-1): The Manipulated

It seems they haven't noticed us yet.
What's the plan?
We put an end to his schemes.
A very good idea! But isn't he smart?
Yeah! Yeah!
He is… But petty tricks won't work now. Besides, he has no pawns left.
Understood. Start up the battleships and scramble!
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Wild Dance of the Machine God

Deploy the troops! There are 15 slots. I'm using Trowa, Van, Shou, Jimmy, Folka, Duo, Hyoma, Marvel, Ryoma, Kaede, Tatsuya, Koji, Amuro, Nie, and Keita.

What!? Where did they come from!?
I don't know!
Weren't you supposed to be looking out for them!?
My apologies.
Of course the Argama had to find us while we're looking for Fernando…
Mizar! It's time to end this!
Don't be ridiculous! Do you really think I can be beaten by someone like you?
Taste my brother's regrets and the rage of everyone you trampled upon in Hell!
A standard kill 'em all map. Make your way across the water to the island where Mizar and his troops are stationed. We've fought the Shura enough at this point to know how inconsequential the grunts are. Your battleship of choice makes a fine ferry for any land-locked units.

Here's Mizar and his Shura God, the Glasyalabolas. It's far stronger than any of the Shura Gods we've encountered so far, so perhaps Folka will need a bit of help taking it down.
Said help arrives at the start of turn 2.

Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - One Who Walks the Path of Strong-Fisted Supremacy
Found you… Time to die!
Fernando! Wake up already!!
Hehehe… My plans may have gone awry, but at least I'm still alive. Everyone, kill Folka or die trying!
Sir!
Why are you in such a… I see. He's coming, isn't he?
Hehehe. I don't know who you're talking about.
That's enough!
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Wild Dance of the Machine God
Altis the Flash's regrets embody my icy spear! Strategist… No. Mizar! Prepare to pay with your life!
Maysis! I thought you were dead… Damn you, Altis! You tricked me!
Folka, the Shura King is on his way here.
I knew it.
Are you…getting in my way…? I'll kill you too!
Fernando… Hold still.
What was that for!?
It's okay. He should be back to his senses. If not, then…
Heh. My spell won't be broken that easily.
Are you sure about that? You've been wrong before.
What did you hit him with?
It's a potent drug that cures ailments of the mind.
Guh… Folka… Maysis…
Fernando! Are you yourself again?
Yes. It was like a long nightmare…composed of pure hatred… But my brother…
You need to rest. You're still in considerable pain, aren't you?
I'm fine. This is nothing compared to the grief of losing my brother and my hatred towards Mizar.
Fernando…
Folka… I have nothing to say to you.
What nonsense. I'll tear you all to pieces!!
The only one who's going to die is you, Mizar!!
There's a place waiting for you in Hell.

Fernando and Maysis have joined as uncontrollable NPC allies. They're in no danger of dying, even against Mizar. Just try not to let them steal any kills. Mattman has this to say about them:
Yeah, that's Shinka Valefor, not the basic one, ignore its ingame name! It's significantly less busted than the Peirines and Fernando lacks Support Defend, and has worse stats overall. But 14000 HP, 2500 Armor, 170 Mobility, and moves that mimic Ialdabaoth's without the 1 range move in the middle mean it's still really solid.
Can anyone tell me why this thing has a fucking Cartridge, though?
The Peirines has 175 base mobility, 8 base movement, 27000 base HP, and 2700 base armor? And its only part to contribute to that is a Beam Field? Yeah, this thing ain't joining permanently. I will give credit to Maysis and the machine for both having Mobility that lives up to that and Limit that actually functions, and even if Maysis doesn't have spirits she DOES come with a free level in the Supports. Although her best move is that absurdly powerful 1 range move so who knows if you can use it... then again, unless you're anywhere close to max upgrades, her weakest move being 3700 is honestly good enough to get support from.
No one has any words for Mizar. Take him out to beat the chapter.

Impossible… I've been defeated… Me… By scum like them…
You'll atone for the sins of toying with people's minds in Hell.
If only you weren't here… If only you didn't give him those orders… Altis wouldn't have had to die!
Don't be stupid… If you weren't here… My dream… My ambition… Ahahahaha! I can see it… My kingdom… My ideals… Long live Mizar the Great! UOOOOOOOOOH![Mizar explodes]
Mizar… Only the damned in Hell will praise you.
Folka… I'm so sorry… I only understood how you felt after losing Altis…
It's all right. It's over now, Fernando…
I will make sure Altis' will is seen through. Folka, the battle ahead of you will be harsh.
I will fight alongside you, Brother. We must prevent this sorrow from spreading… We will create a new Shura Realm!
Captain Bright, will you allow him to fight alongside us?
I don't see why not. This is what he wants.
That's right. Besides, this is your chance to be siblings again!
Yeah! Bright, you don't have any objections, do you?
Koji, Judau, Leina… Thank you.
So this is what it's like to have comrades, huh…
May I accompany you as well?
Of course. Looking forward to working with you.
That won't be happening!
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - The Law of Shura
I will not forgive traitors who collude with outsiders to destroy my people!!
The Shura King!
T-that's the Shura King!?
I can feel his presence in my very core!
What terrible timing!
If only we weren't exhausted…
I never thought you of all people would betray me.
Shura King! I now realize that the Shura will perish if things don't change. We must change as a people! Plus, Mizar had to pay for what he did.
I agree that his methods were in poor taste, but that doesn't matter. It must not matter.
But because of him, General Altis lost his life!
That just proves how weak he was.
Weak!? You claim Lord Altis was weak!?
So you believe that Mizar's actions were justified?
The ends justify the means. As a Shura, his ambition served my purpose. Thanks to him, both this and the other worlds are in chaos.
No…
The only things that are unforgivable are your weak fists, having forgotten the Shura way of life!
But doesn't the fact we killed him prove that we're in the right?
It seems you've lost your Shura souls ever since coming to this world. I will bury you myself!
Dammit! I won't let you!
You dare strike me? At least you have guts. Shame your weak fists won't even scratch me!
Folka! You need to run now!
As you are now, you won't stand a chance!
The same goes for you!
Elle Humm, we need to retreat.
But Lady Ciela!
Are you going to let their hopes go to waste?
I'm staying!
If you are, then so am I!
Like hell you are! Go now! The Shura King will find a worthy foe in my icy spear!
But…
Folka… You are Altis' hope. I can't let you die here. Trust me, Folka. You will succeed.
Don't get cold feet now, Folka. I'm leaving the rest to you…
Maysis! Fernando!
Come on, let's dance!
Sorry about this! Detain Folka! We're leaving this airspace!
Wait! I can't leave them!!
Are you sure about this?
Heh… Folka won't ever forgive us for doing this.
Doing this means trusting Folka that he'll follow through… It is what it is.
I have no regrets either! You face us, Shura King!
That's the spirit! At least die like a Shura!!
(Altis… I'll see you soon…)
(Folka… I believe in you…)


Fernando… Maysis… I will avenge you! You'll never leave my heart…
Folka… I'm sorry I couldn't save them.
It's not your fault. If only I had the power… The power to defeat the Shura King…
But thanks to you, Fernando and Maysis finally understood the power to care for others.
That's the strongest power of all.
If you live in regret, you'll never repay their hopes.
Tetsuya…
Don't kick yourself so much.
You're right. I can't look back. For Fernando's, Maysis' and Altis' sake, I will defeat the Shura King, Alkaid.
We still have enemies left to face. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but will you continue to help us?
The answer should be obvious. You have my fist.
Thank you, Folka.
Let's summarize everything that's left.
Right. Our remaining enemies are…
…Congistar's flying fortress…
…Drake's Army with its three battleships…(TL Note: The third battleship is Shot's Spriggan.)
…And Professor Mamon's Superhuman Federation.
Three forces left…
I see. We still lack vital information.
We'll need to gather that, then. Noin, could you help us?
Of course. Leave it to the Preventers.
Altis… Maysis… Magnaz… Fernando… Mizar… Rest in peace. Had we remained in the Shura Realm, your ambitions could have been easily fulfilled… Your lives have been lost due to my own weakness. If only I were stronger, I wouldn't have led you all astray… But I am the Shura King! I admit no wrongdoing! I offer no apologies! Nor do I seek forgiveness! I shall simply smash through every obstacle with my fists and press onward! Bear witness to the end! Witness the final battle of Alkaid Naash, the Shura King!
Your Majesty! What are your orders?
Right… Let all surviving Shura remain here on standby. Bear witness to my battle!
Your Majesty, we cannot obey that command.
What!?
We shall live as Shura and die as Shura. Allow us to accompany you.
Heh… Do as you please.
Mr. Akamatsu, a package has arrived with your name on it.
What's in that massive box?
Oh, it's from my old man in America. I commissioned it about six months ago, but goddamn, he finished it way ahead of schedule.
Come to think of it, isn't your father a scientist?(TL Note: The man they're referring to is Raiga Shishioh from GaoGaiGar. Betterman and GaoGaiGar share the same setting, but that's only explained in the side material and expanded upon in GaoGaiGar vs Betterman.)
It appears to be a support module for the Neuronoids that combines a flight propulsion unit and a Linker Gel dialysis system.
That sounds really cool!
90% of this glianoid works in conjunction with Neuronoids.
So even non-Dual-Kinds like me can pilot them?
The fact that there's a dialysis system also means there's no activity time limit, so we can fire as many Synapse Attacks as we want!
Yeah! Hopefully this'll make the final battles a bit easier.
(I knew Medusa would end up being a defective cyborg. Even with all of our scientific prowess, we couldn't control a Ganymede body completely, due to their unique characteristics. But Emperor Hedron's plan failed. Medusa and Mechander were meant to take each other out, but only Medusa fell in the end!)
Listen up! It was the accursed Mechander Robo that killed the trustworthy and great General Medusa! Now is the time to utterly destroy that machine and achieve General Medusa's wish of dominating Earth!
That's right! We'll conquer everything!!
We'll avenge General Medusa!
If we work together, we can conquer Earth in a single day! Prepare for a full-scale invasion!
Hedora!
Noin, did you learn anything?
First, regarding Drake's Army, it seems the Will Whipps is definitely heading towards the Pacific Ocean.
But they're going slower than expected, right?
Does Drake have some kind of plan?
We must destroy the Gyre Garing before it can join up with the Will Whipps.
Next, regarding the Congistar Army, it seems the enemy's flying fortress is searching for us as they head towards North America.
It seems they wish to settle things with us.
The only unknown is the Superhuman Federation. People have disappeared from both their HQ and branch offices, so we haven't been able to gather any information.
Hitomi, can you use your dowsing to find them?
I tried, but they're more powerful than I am.
I can't do it either. Sakura, what about you?
On the sea… An artificial island… Shaped like a diamond…
Isn't that…
Ah crap.
A diamond-shaped island…
ModeWarp's Headquarters!?
We must hurry. They'll destroy ModeWarp!
Destroy?
Is it that serious?
ModeWarp's HQ was originally a seafloor methane mining base. Their plan is to detonate the massive stockpile of methane hydrates, which will lead to the headquarters being destroyed in a massive explosion.
That's their plan?
As we speak, the EFF is preparing to carry out a bombing raid on ModeWarp. That's their usual MO in dealing with contaminated or other "problem" facilities.
By contaminated, you mean…
They've concluded that every single staff member at ModeWarp HQ is infected by Algernon.
Can't we tell them that they're making a huge mistake?
That would be pointless. We run the risk of being silenced right along with them.
But why would Mamon be at ModeWarp HQ?
Brahman seeks to evolve into the ultimate human.
But to achieve this perfect form, another ritual is required.
Drive Inspection. It was an experiment conducted seven years ago to become the Best Man. Mamon intends to recreate the experiment using the Betterman's DNA.
And the equipment needed for that is…
…Still at ModeWarp.
So this is a trap to lure in the Betterman.
Everyone… Listen to me… If the Betterman disappears… Humanity will die… The Betterman is trying to eliminate the source of Algernon…
Can you be more specific?
I don't know anything more than that, but…
It doesn't matter who gets in our way. We must hurry.




I'm amazed you made it this far.
Why do you have to create a revolutionary form of life?
…
Lamia…


He's starting at his strongest?









Young ones… Stop the source…
Who or what is Kankel?
…
Lamia… It's not over…
I am the one who usurps human cells. I am the one who transcends human life! I am the pinnacle of evolution! I am Kankel!


The Blossoms must have been controlled by Kankel.





They still had this many left!?
We're completely surrounded!
They may have the upper hand…
I've lost count of how many there are.
How can we make it through this?
Focus on their commander.
What a great idea. Now, pray tell, where is he?
He's probably watching from inside the fortress.
There's no point in victory if we die in the process. Take out any enemy you can as you advance!

…


Enemy reinforcements? No, that's…


It's true that things are getting better here, but the pollution…
But first, we have villains to slay!



Lord Bishott, wouldn't it be best if we had the Gyre Garing fall back?
What lunacy is this? We've been ordered by your husband to lead the vanguard!
Is Mother there?
Rimul, what are you saying?






My Will Whipps is approaching the combat zone at maximum speed! Hold on a little longer!
King Bishott, the Will Whipps will be here momentarily.
Sir!



SHOU ZAMA!
And other guys who're in similar machines!


Don't underestimate me! I'm not going to lose like this!

Do you think I can do it?

Exactly! If you never invented them in the first place, this war wouldn't have happened!





Strictly speaking, we ought to destroy our own Aura Machines too.






He's probably talking about us.
I see…
Just don't overdo it, okay?













Dad? Read the room.


Allen Schezar!
Brother!
Lord Van, are you okay?
It seems so.
We didn't even get to say goodbye.
W-what!? Is that the Sirbine?
We're back! This is Rabaan's castle!
Same here.
That's truly for the best.
The secret of Atlantis turned out to be a bust.
(Be true to your heart…)
