SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 17 ***STAGE 17*** SIDE 1, LONDENION Amuro: Honestly... no sooner do I come than they get rid of me, huh. Bright: Vice-Minister Adenauer trusts Char's words, and plans to go to negotiate with him. Banjou: He can't seriously believe that posturing. Amuro: ...beyond the matter of the aliens left on Mars, Char is buying time. Camille: Will we still be able to stop them by the time Neo Zeon makes its next move? Amuro: ...he's not above using superficial methods to achieve his own goals. Camille: And so he just needs time to get fully prepared? Amuro: Yeah. Garrison: As it's that person... he would certainly choose the method guaranteed to reap the best results. Banjou: Well, since he's seen all sorts of extremities from different sides up until now, he may be using those as reference. Four: Extremities? Garrison: Orbital bombardment, mind control through Psycommu equipment, colony drops, etc... he has options aplenty. Four: You're saying Captain Quattro would do things like that... Banjou: Undoubtedly. Amuro: ...Bright, I'm going to the Earth along with the Albion. Bright: You'll be descending to the Earth as well? Amuro: Yeah. In his current state, stuck in a net, Char can't do much. So when we see him make a genuine move, that's when we should act. Bright: With each colony being as uncooperative as ever... we have to let them be. Amuro: That's why I want to go where I can do something. The matter of Orphan bothers me. Bright: I see. So that's why you're heading for Earth. Understood. If there's any activity from them, I'll contact you immediately. Amuro: Any messages for Mirai-san? Bright: ...tell her to take care of the kids for me. It looks like I won't be back for a while. Amuro: Alright... I got it. JAPAN AREA, G ISLAND CITY Taiga: Good morning, Sakura-kun. Sakura: Good morning to you, Mr. President. You seem to be in a good mood this morning. Taiga: Oh, no, problems will pile up the same as always. So I think one should be cheerful around morning time at least. Sakura: Please excuse my presumption. Taiga: Well then, Sakura-kun... since I'll be out all day, please take care of the rest. Sakura: Yes sir, Mr. President. Leo: How's Gai's status, Mikoto-kun? Mikoto: Professor... His vital signs have stayed in the red danger zone... Leo: Well, then all they can do from there is get better. Ha ha ha ha! Mikoto: ! It's because you let him fight in that kind of condition! Aren't you worried about Gai, Professor!? Leo: What kind of parent wouldn't worry about their child! Mikoto: Ah...! Leo: ...Gai should have died 2 years ago. Mikoto-kun, I'm happy that he could at least live as a cyborg... So, I let him do the things he wants to do. Fighting the enemy is Gai's own wish. As a parent, to help with that... all I can do is watch over him. Mikoto: ...I, I'm so sorry... I... I... Leo: ...it's fine. After all, thanks to you being here, Mikoto-kun, Gai can fight at ease as well. Mikoto: Professor... Entouji: ...I've collected all the data from up until now. Here's the data on the person who became EI-02's core. Hyuuma: ...he's a homeless guy, huh. Entouji: Kinzou Kodakarayama... He used to be a construction foreman with a government contract in Tokyo, but it ended up that his business dealings were suspended due to illicit bidding practices. Due to that, the company went bankrupt and folded... he lost even his home. I think that's how he ended up living on Trash Island. Leo: And through misguided resentment, he wanted to see the Tokyo Government Building destroyed? Taiga: And the connection to EI-02? Swan: Through regressive hypnotism, we saw some of his memories. He said that four machine people told him, "If you want to get revenge, we'll bestow power unto you." Taiga: Machine people... Entouji: Incidentally... to try and avoid bankruptcy, Kinzou Kodakarayama made one final bet in a horse race. Hyuuma: A horse race? Is there some connection here I'm missing? Entouji: Actually, EI-02's head portion resembles the horse he bet on. Hyuuma: ! Now that you mention it, that thing was like a horse... Taiga: So the afflicted people's emotions and experiences have an effect on them... Leo: Whatever the case, something increases a person's excessive hatred and jealousy and the like... leading to things like EI-02. And then, the one who holds the key to it all would be... Taiga: It'd have to be the four machine people which gave him power. Leo: Besides them, the mysterious boy who returned Kinzou Kodakarayama to his former state as well. (Alarm sound) Swan: Chief! There are readings of several objects approaching G Island City from upper altitudes! Taiga: Their designation!? Swan: Bharm forces! Hyuuma: What!? So they headed towards here, instead of the Far East Base!? Leo: This could be trouble. Gai's not in any condition to sortie right now. Hyuuma: Professor! Can't we send out Enryu and Hyoryu instead of Gai!? Leo: That's not easy. The GS-Ride isn't outputting the kind of energy it should be, so right now System Change would be difficult. Uchiyama: So I guess there's a limit to how much we could copy for the GS-Ride with just Earth's technology...? Leo: Hmmm... It's possible in theory... Swan: Chief! There's a transmission from the Getter Team of the Saotome Lab! They're on their way here! Taiga: ! Leo: Oh, they're coming! Taiga: Alright, send an emergency broadcast across the island! Evacuate all citizens and personnel to shelters ASAP! EPISODE 17: THE GREEN-HAIRED BOY Hana: Mamoru-kun, your father works in this building right? Mamoru: Yup. He does stuff like calculate space shuttle launch trajectories. Sueo: Heeh, is that true? My older brother also works here. Hana: What kind of job does your brother have? Sueo: Heheheh. Actually, just between me and you guys... Sunou: Ah, look at that! Something's coming from the sky! (Enemy units appear) Belgan: Damned Earthlings, to have defenses placed in a spot like this. So they've already got preparations in place for us... However, I'll show them that it won't help them stand before us. Hyuuma: Ch-! Isn't this just splendid! Entouji: It's apparent they came here as part of their course of invasion, but... it doesn't look like they came directly here out of re-entry from space. Hyuuma: What!? Entouji: It might mean the Bharm forces have set up a base on the Earth. Hyuuma: So that's why they've been so quiet lately...! (Getter Lyger appears) Mikoto: Chief, the Getter Team has arrived! Hayato: Hayato Jin of the Getter Team here... Leave dealing with the Bharmians to us. Taiga: Sorry to ask, but we're depending on you! Hayato: Roger. Musashi, Benkei... you all set to go? Benkei: Yeah! Musashi: Hayato, there're lots of enemies flying in the air! Let's change to Dragon! Hayato: No, Lyger will suffice here. Musashi: H, how come!? Michiru: Musashi-kun, you've never piloted Dragon before right? It would be better to leave this to Hayato-kun. Musashi: Boo hoo, I don't have any choice if Michiru-san says so. Hayato: Lyger's the best suited to dispatching large numbers of enemies quickly. Let me handle this! [Commence Battle] [Turn 2 Player Phase] Sunou: Guys! Aren't we going into the shelter!? Sueo: It can't be helped! We've gotta wait our turn! Reiko: Ara, it's no big deal. After all, Ultra-Cool-Long-Hair-sama will eventually show up, and chase the enemies away! Hana: Ultrawha...? What's that? Reiko: It means the ultra-cool long-haired guy. Hana: Ah, you mean... the person who came and saved us before? Reiko: Yes, that's right. Sunou: But, that black robot hasn't come out. Maybe it's not coming because it got broken down... Mamoru: (...this feeling...!) (...I'm getting a very bad feeling... like the one from the other day...) Belgan: Fufufu... It seems that one object is your only defensive robot. Alright, lay waste to the base and the rest of the island! Show those Earthlings the true terror of the Bharm! (Enemy reinforcements show up) Swan: New enemies have emerged! Hyuuma: Crap! That area's unguarded!! Michiru: We can't make it from here!? Sueo: H, hey! That's where our house is! Hana: Aah!! Sunou: Aaah-!! Hana: Our street!! Mamoru: Dammit...! Why'd the fighting have to be there...! Damnit! BASTAAAARRRDS!! Uchiyama: Th, this is...! Leo: What's happening!? Uchiyama: It's Enryu and Hyoryu in the hangar!! Taiga: What is it!? Swan: A tremendous amount of energy is building up! Hyoryu and Enryu's GS-Rides have been charged to over 200% of their energy capacity! Leo: That's not possible from the theories! Entouji: What's going on!? Taiga: Professor! If this is how it is! Leo: Mm-hmm... it can be done! Taiga: Aaaalllllright! Hyoryu, Enryu, emergency launch! ??? (Hyoryu): Leave it to us! ??? (Enryu): We'll definitely fulfill your expectations! (Hyoryu and Enryu appear) Michiru: That's!? Musashi: A new model GGG robot!? Hyoryu: You alright, Enryu? Looks like you failed your landing... Enryu: Must be that the AI needs a tuneup. Hyoryu: Wrong, Enryu. By my calculations, your way of thinking can lead to high risks. Enryu: Forget the risk, my spirit will more than make up for any danger to protecting the peace! Hyoryu: That's an illogical response for a robot. Is your AI defective? Enryu: Since our AI is completely identical, it wouldn't mean mine alone is defective! Same goes for you, Hyoryu! If you can't do anything without simple calculations, maybe you're up for a software reformat! Hyoryu: What a rude guy. Whatever the case, it looks like you're going around berserk thanks to unnecessary amounts of additional equipment. Enryu: Same to you, pal! Is the Freeze System turning your AI frigid!? Leo: Honestly... the synchro rate is dropping again... Musashi: What the heck? Those guys're arguing. Michiru: J, just like they were human... Leo: What they have loaded is an AI capable of making independent decisions, learning, and expressing emotions... ...to be precise, it would be appropriate to call it Super AI... Mikoto: But, even though they had the same AI and software put in them... their views are so different... Taiga: Hyoryu, Enryu! What is your duty!? Hyoryu: That is to protect... Enryu: Peace and the people! Taiga: ...in that case! You know what to do now!? Hyoryu: Roger! Enryu: Roger! Leo: At least it looks like they don't have any fundamental problems... Taiga: Oooookay! Hyoryu, Enryu! Work together with the Getter Team and save the city! [Resume battle] [Turn 4 Player Phase, or when anyone fights the Skull Rook] [Carrier choice] [Launch] Swan: Chief! The Daikumaryu squadron has come!! Taiga: O, ohh...! Ryouma: Hayato! You alright!? Hayato: Heh, with these two huge guys riding in it, Lyger's being weighed down too much. Musashi: What'd you saayy!? Benkei: You're talkin' about us!? Hayato: Of course, who else is here? Belgan: Fufufu... this is convenient. If I defeat them with this machine, I'll be recognized for my merit. (If that happens, it will be all the more easy to overthrow Richter.) Kenichi: A Skull Rook...! Belgan!? Ippei: Are those guys just indescriminately attacking places!? Belgan: Exactly. It's more effective than dealing with you all. Kenichi: Damned Belgan, you coward! Megumi: The ones you should be aiming for are just us! Belgan: Say what you will. Fighting isn't just about frontal attacks. If you worry about preserving face, it leads to defeat... yes, just as Heinel showed. Kenichi: What was that!? Are you mocking my brother Heinel!? Belgan: Of course. He was ultimately a losing dog... losing to all of you was only natural. Kenichi: Why you...!! Heero: Don't give in to taunting. That's part of his plan. Kenichi: Ugh...!! Heero: Still, more than striking a big mouth... he'll get an encounter like the one he described...! Kenichi: Yeah! [Resume battle] [Turn 5 Player Phase, or when anyone fights the Skull Rook a second time] (Note: Beating the Skull Rook does not affect this dialogue) Penchinon: Fufufufu... looks like it's about that time. Wheeeeeeeeeee! Set sail for fun... Wheeeeeeee! Mamoru: A... ahh! Hana: Ah! Mamoru-kun, where are you going!? Mamoru: I have to go...! I gotta go!! Hana: Mamoru-kun!? (Enemy unit appears) Belgan: Wh, what is that...!? Hyuuma: A monster tanker!? Entouji: Checking this data... the form is different from the last guy, but I think it's the same type! Taiga: The EI!! Leo: In that case, trapped inside is...! Hyuuma: Another human's in there!! Belgan: This energy reading is...! Damn! Withdraw the Skull Rook! (Skull Rook retreats) Mikoto: The enemy mothership has withdrawn! Taiga: But, those guys are still left...!! ???: It looks as though it's my turn... (Gaigar appears) Leo: Wh... Gaigar!? Mikoto: Gai! Stop being reckless! Gai: Mikoto... to save the person in there, it has to be Hell And Heaven...! Mikoto: Bu, but--!! Gai: Chief! Give the approval for Final Fusion!! Taiga: B, but... with your body the way it is right now!! Mikoto: It's just as the Chief says! Gai, come back! Leo: Entouji-kun! Under these conditions, what are Final Fusion's chances of working!? Entouji: ...30% chance of success. Hyuuma: What'll happen if it fails!? Leo: The resulting countershock would break both Gai and the Machine into tiny shards...! Mikoto: Th, that's...!! Gai: The chance of success doesn't matter! As long as there are people waiting, I'll definitely pull it off! Mikoto: Gai...! Gai: Chief! Hurry and give your approval! Taiga: ...let's do it, Utsugi-kun! We'll entrust everything to our belief in Gai! Mikoto: Ch, chief...! Taiga: Final Fusion, approved! Mikoto: R, right! Final Fusion! Program... DRIIIIIVE!! Gai: Uwooooo---! FINAL! FUUUUUUUUUSIIIIOOOOOOOOON!! (Gaogaigar appears) Gai: GAO! GAI! GAAAAAAAAAAAR!! Mikoto: Final Fusion completed! Hyoryu: That's... Enryu: Our captain... Gai: Sorry for the delay, Hyoryu, Enryu! Sueo: Hey, check it out! That robot! It's the black one from the other day! Sunou: It... it lived!! Mamoru: That person... came...! Penchinon: So you came, inheritance of Cain... Still, there's absolutely no way you can win here... Wheeeeeeee! Rasse: Gai, are you alright...? Gai: ...y, yeah. This kind of thing's nothing to complain about... just leave that EI to me. Hime: You're going to save the person inside like the other day!? Gai: That's right. Though that's assuming that boy shows up. Hime: Ah, that kid...! Amuro: Alright. All units, support Gaogaigar. However... Quatre: We shouldn't deliver the finishing blow, right? Amuro: Yeah, that's right. Gai: Thanks for the trouble, Captain Amuro Rei. Please do what you can! [Resume battle] [Gai vs EI-07] Gai: Let's go! Even if it burns my life to nothing, I'll defeat you! Entouji: Th, this is...! Taiga: What is it, Entouji-kun! Entouji: I just found out something major. There are 100,000 tons of gasoline stored inside of that EI. Taiga: What'd you say!? Hyuuma: H, hey! So that thing was seriously a tanker!? Swan: If it exploded there... the estimated damage would be... !! Everything within a 20-kilometer radius would be completely destroyed!! Taiga: N, ngh...! G Island City would be... Hyuuma: The damage would reach to the heart of the city! Taiga: ....! Penchinon: Wheeeeeeeeee! If you attack sloppily, you'll get caught up in a sea of fire. That would achieve our objective as well. Wheeeeeeee!! Taiga: Professor Shishio! What if we used the Dividing Driver... no, the Eraser Head! Leo: But, Chief... to use that, we would need Hyoryu and Enryu's syncho rate to reach 100... Enryu: !! Hyoryu: ....! Gai: Everyone, get back! I'm gonna pull this guy down into the depths of the ocean! Hyoryu: Please wait! By my calculations, if the core is removed from the enemy with Hell And Heaven... With its defenses momentarily down, Gaogaigar... Leo: ! Oh no!! Taiga: Even with his armor, if Gai is caught in the middle of that shockwave...! Mikoto: !! Hyoryu: Sir Captain...! Enryu: Captain--!! Gai: There's no time for hesitation! As soon as I get the core out, I'll hurl it away with all my might!! I'll leave the rest to yooouuu--!! Enryu: To us--!! Hyoryu: To us! Enryu: To take that kind of order... Hyoryu: We're not programmed to do that! Mikoto: ! The synchro rate...! Swan: Hyoryu! Enryu! Leo: The synchro rate is 100! Taiga: Alright! Symmetrical Docking, approved! Enryu: Symmetrical! Hyoryu: Docking!! Choryujin: CHOOOOOORYUUUUUUUJIIIIIIN! Kazuya: They combined!? Hiyoshi: A... awesome! It's the first vertically split combiner robot! Boss: But there's already been a vertically split she-male mummy... Leo: When the synchro rate between the AI of the brother robots, Hyoryu and Enryu, reaches its peak... They can transform and combine with Symmetrical Docking into the more high-powered robot, Choryujin! Hyuuma: Way to go, Choryujin! Taiga: It's the birth of a new hero! Leo: Gai! Let Choryujin deal with the explosion! You concentrate on getting the core out! Gai: Roger! I'm counting on you, Choryujin! Choryujin: Let me handle it! [Resume battle] [Choryujin vs EI-07] Choryujin: Please observe, Captain, Professor! I'll definitely show you how useful my power is for saving people! [When EI-07 is defeated without Hell And Heaven] Zondar Human: Zondaaaarrr! Taiga: Oh no! The person inside! (Game Over) [When EI-07 is defeated with Hell And Heaven] Gai: Uwoooo-!! Michiru: Will it explode!? Hyuuma: Now! Launch the Eraser Head! Catch, Choryujin!! Choryujin: Roger!! Eraser Head, launch! (Eraser head sequence) Kou: Th, the explosion... Keith: Disappeared into the sky!? Mikoto: The Eraser Head's operation was successful! Entouji: The explosion has reached past the upper stratosphere... no colonies or satellites are in its trajectory. Taiga: Well done, Choryujin. It's the birth of a new hero...! Banjou: Hmm~, those robot brothers aren't too shabby... Duo: But, that kind of thing is ridiculous. Sending something up into space with that little amount of energy... What if something happens to it before then? Tobia: No... it looks like they've taken all that into calculation. Duo: You serious? Tobia: Yes. Thanks to that, they'll avoid damaging any facilities in space. Duo: He~h, that's pretty surprising. Remy: Seeing it from up up close, that place has a lot of power, but... Wufei: It looks like for the time being, both sides are realizing that. Killy: I'd like for our own leader to observe this. Shingo: Well... it's not probability or spirit, intuition makes up for far more than either of them. Remy: There's no convincing him. (If any enemy units are left, they retreat) Gai: You did pretty good out there, Choryujin... Choryujin: Captain, I apologize for ignoring orders... Gai: Nah... I was saved thanks to that. Your AI is... the best in the world... Choryujin: Captain... Gai: Besides, this victory isn't just ours... it's also the Daikumaryu squadron's, and the Londo Bell... crew's... Choryujin: ! What's wrong, Captain!? Mikoto: Gai!? Leo: Oh no! Has he reached his limit!? Gai: U... ugh... hurry... this core...! (Mamoru appears) Mamoru: ..... Gai: Th, this is... the same as that time...! Swan: OH! It's a miracle! Gai's functionalities have been restored!! Taiga: What!? Leo: Hahyaa! It's the technology that surpasses the limits of what mankind can do! (Healing sequence) Hyuuma: It's that! That power is what turned the core back into a human! Gai: Just who... are you...? Mamoru: ..... (Mamoru leaves) Gai: So he... left again... Just... who the heck are you...? [End battle] JAPAN AREA, G ISLAND CITY Taiga: ...I see. Then, we'll be entrusting ourselves to the Alpha Numbers for a while? Miwa: That's right, since my Far East Base is busy preparing for the second stage of Operation Wipe Out The Underground Forces. Taiga: ...understood. However, in the case that an enemy appears... Miwa: I'm aware. Command will be temporarily turned over to you. That is all. Taiga: Honestly... a person as self-centered as ever. Leo: It's because the fact that the Bharm army has set its sights on GGG is convenient for him. Kentarou: So you're saying their aim is here, rather than the Far East Base... Leo: More precisely, the Daikumaryu and Albion... beyond that, there are probably other factors we don't know about. Although... in Gaogaigar's current incomplete condition, we wouldn't want them back either. Taiga: ...so, Professor Daimonji, Captain Synapse... could we ask you to remain in G Island City for a short while for support? Synapse: Alright. Daimonji: If it's okay with you. Taiga: Oh, no problem at all... we'll be glad to have you stay. Kentarou: ...then, gentlemen, I'll be excusing myself. Daimonji: You're going back to the Big Falcon... I mean, the Far East Base? Kentarou: No, I'm going to the Daimobik. My wife, Professor Hamaguchi, and Professor Yotsuya have all gathered there. Before we get involved in serious battles with the underground forces, Voltes, Combattler V, and Daimos are all in need of an overhaul. I think we should get to work on preparing for that time from here on. Daimonji: I understand. Then, I'll see you later... Taiga: By the way, Professor... how are Hyoryu and Enryu? Leo: As I suspected, they need some readjustments. They did a lot of hazardous stuff besides Symmetrical Docking. Entouji: The reason for the rise in the GS-Ride's output and the synchro rate is still unknown... Leo: (...supposing it's the same as the other time for Gai... it might be due to that boy.) (As I expected, he's probably an ally of humankind...) Ryouma: Hayato, has there been any activity from the Dinosaur Empire or Mycene Empire? Hayato: There have been a few small encounters in areas of the Far East, but... nothing major. Ryouma: What...? Michiru: Father said they're probably preparing for some big operation. Ryouma: So that's it... Musashi: By the way, Ryou. I'll give back the Dragon Machine you entrusted me with. In exchange... Ryouma: Sure. You can pilot the Black Getter. PACIFIC OCEAN, UNDERWATER FORTRESS Olban: Richter, what is the status of the Earth invasion? Richter: Using this underwater fortress as a frontal base, we've been proceeding with arrangements to attack key defensive points in the eastern hemisphere. Olban: Still arrangements? You're falling behind schedule. Richter: My apologies. A mysterious giant object in the ocean... Olban: I won't hear anything but news of victory. Especially regarding fights with that Daikumaryu. Keep that in mind. Richter: Yessir! For the sake of our one billion Bharmian people! (Transmission ends) Come forth, Halleck! Halleck: Martial arts instructor Garney Halleck... reporting. Barbas: Wow...! This man is the cornerstone of Richter-sama's plan for certain victory!? Liza: I wouldn't think a mere fighting teacher would play such an important role for Richter-sama... Richter: Argh, silence! Just who do you think is responsible for our lagging behind in operations!? Liza: M... my humblest apologies. Richter: Barbas! Do you think our Bharmian weaponry is inferior to that of Earth's!? Barbas: N... no...! That could never be the case! Richter: Then, why can we our army not win against the Earth's robots...? I realized the answer to that, the difference between those at the helm of the controls. Belgan: (I see... so he thinks that he can overcome them with human pilots rather than AI.) Richter: Halleck! Do you love Bharm!? Halleck: Of course, Admiral Richter. Richter: Indeed. Then Halleck... will you show me proof of that conviction? Halleck: If you order thus, Admiral, I shall lend you the strength of my martial arts. Richter: I bestow unto you our strongest battle robot. With that power, cut to the core of the enemy's battle power and defeat Daimos and Kazuya Ryuuzaki! Halleck: I accept. However, I ask as a warrior... that you allow me to challenge him to a duel, fair and square. Richter: Very well. In the event you win, you will be granted the position of adjutant. Halleck: With all due respect, I decline. My wish is for the happiness of all Bharmians... only that. Richter: Hahaha! Interesting! You say you have no interest in being promoted! In that case, Halleck... Go! Halleck: Yessir! Liza: (...Halleck turned down the position of adjutant...?) Belgan: Oh? Liza-dono, your face seems a bit off-color... Liza: N... no... it's nothing... Belgan: Fufufufufu... don't be alarmed. I shall make your troubles disappear. Liza: (What is this man planning to do...?) Pasdar: Report, Penchinon... Penchinon: The giant object submerged beneath the ocean... The one the humans call Orphan... The Antibodies that appeared from there were, as expected, a species of living machine... As a large alien life form, its existence is similiar to ours... But it seems as though it attracts an opposite existence from itself. Polonese: An existence opposite to ours... so in other words, organic life... Primada: So foolish... and so unsightly... Pizza: ..... Pasdar: Ultimately, like the inheritance of Cain, a failed machine that attracts organics... Penchinon: Still, within that body, a large amount of organic energy has been stored over a long period of time. That could be something useful to us... Polonese: Pasdar-sama, what do you think? Pasdar: For now, leave it be. It may serve to help further our goals... Right now we have a more than plentiful source of energy. Pizza: Understood. Pasdar: The time of my awakening draws near... when that time comes, this blue planet will be made into a machine world... [EYECATCH]
