(after Gaiking and co. appear onscreen) Yuriceasar: Hm? What's that... A weapon of the Dinosaur Empire? Pete: There's no mistake. That's the Mycene Empire. Daimonji: Mm-hmm... the underground forces have finally started to make their move. Yuriceasar: Heh, so it's a battleship of the humans. ...it seems they've made advance preparations as well. Sakon: What do we do, Professor Daimonji? The Daikumaryu is in the middle of a test flight but... Daimonji: We can't overlook what's happening at this place. We will proceed and join the battle. Combat Force, attack the Combat Beasts of the Mycene! Fan Lee: Skylar, roger that! Bunta: Nesser, roger! Yamagatake: Pazolar, roger too! Heheheh... my arm's quivering! Sanshiro: Alright~! I'll show them Gaiking's power! Pete: Don't pilot with that kind of tone, Sanshiro. A battle isn't the same atmosphere as a baseball game. If you don't want to die, stay down behind Daikumaryu. Sanshiro: What was that!? Pete: I won't tolerate you breaking the completed Gaiking. If you do, I won't care whether you come back to the Daikumaryu or not. Sanshiro: Why you! Even without you saying that...! Daimonji: Can't both of you stop it! Now isn't the time for arguing! Sanshiro: Ugh...! Pete: ...I have no excuse. Sakon: By the way, Professor... What to do about that robot over there? Zengar: ..... Daimonji: Hm... Sakon: I believe that to be a self-defense weapon of the Earth Cradle's. Daimonji: Mm-hmm. I've seen the Federation Army's data on it. That's certainly the Grungust Type-3... Midori: I've been trying to hail it for some time now, but there's been no response. Daimonji: He's probably a survivor of the military division. Just focus our attack priority on the Mycene troops first. Pete: Roger! Daikumaryu, taking off! [Sanshiro attacking] Sanshiro: Just you watch, Pete...! I'll prove to you that I'm not an amateur anymore!! [Sanshiro defeated] Sanshiro: Damn! Sorry, but I'm leaving the mound first! [Fan Lee attacking] Fan Lee: Don't fall back, Yamagatake, Bunta! Bunta: Leave it to me! Yamagatake: Yeah! We'll show them all our strength! [Daikumaryu attacking] Daimonji: Pete-kun! Pete: Roger! Daikumaryu, commencing attack! [After Yuriceasar is attacked, or player turn ends] Yuriceasar: Hmph.. very well. The destruction of the Earth Cradle is completed. ...retreat. [When stage is cleared] Midori: The battle has ended... there are no remaining signs of enemies. Daimonji: Mm-hmm. All of you, you've done well. ...by the way, what about the Earth Cradle? Sakon: ...no response. THe central portion was probably raised above the surface... Daimonji: Is that so... Pete: To the Earth Cradle's Grungust Type-3... This is the Far East Base's Daikumaryu. We want to ask you to explain your situation. Zengar: (...I have to...) (I have to... pursue them... pursue that woman....!) Sanshiro: Wait! You're not even acknowledge that we saved you!? Zengar: For your assistance, you have my gratitude. Sanshiro: ! Zengar: So long! (Grungust Type-3 disappears) Sanshiro: Wh, what the heck was that guy...? Fan Lee: What do we do, Professor? Are we going to pursue that Grungust? Daimonji: No... Our first priority is confirming the situation. Pete-kun, if you would, land the Daikumaryu at the Earth Cradle. Pete: Acknowledged. EARTH CRADLE Daimonji: ...Sakon-kun, what are the results of investigating the Earth Cradle? Sakon: Unfortunately, no living beings were confirmed... and even Magus, the main computer, has ceased functioning entirely. Daimonji: That's it, huh... so the project to shoulder the burden of humanity's future met with an ending like that... Sanshiro: Professor... Just what is that Earth Cradle? Daimonji: A giant underground cryogenic hibernation facility constructed in order to preserve the seeds of humanity. Sanshiro: Preserve the seeds? Sakon: As you can see... that facility was supposed to be a shelter in times of crisis. Sanshiro: But that crisis... doesn't seem to have come... Sakon: Right... the last conflict, in other words, the Balmar War... At the outset of that war, it was established that the Earth Sphere had set out to contend with the strength of numerous enemies from beyond the Earth. ...and so, the Earth Cradle's construction was suggested in the case of a time where humanity might be defeated. Sanshiro: Defeated...!? S, so... Pete: Right. If the time came that lost our fight against the invaders... The people sleeping within the Earth Cradle would become humanity's last survivors. Midori: But... the Earth Cradle... Daimonji: That's right... We can't tolerate defeat any longer. We mustn't allow a repeat of the tragedy of the last major conflict... We have no choice but to fight. ...Make sure not to forget that, Sanshiro-kun. Sanshiro: Yes sir...! Daimonji: Then, From here, we'll set a course for Japan. We'll have to meet with Chief Miwa to discuss current countermeasures for battling the underground forces. Pete: Roger. Daikumaryu, launching. MYCENE EMPIRE CENTRAL HQ Ankoku Daishogun: Yuriceasar... You've done well with the mission to destroy the Earth Cradle. Yuriceasar: Not at all... Ankoku Daishogun: With this, we can move our operation to the next stage. Yuriceasar: But, Ankoku Daishogun-sama... one thing bothers me. Ankoku Daishogun: ...the new battleship of the humans, right? Yuriceasar: Yes. A thing such as that being constructed... we never recieved any report of it from the Intelligence Division. Due to that, my army sustained unexpected amounts of damage... Ankoku Daishogun: ...care to offer an explanation, Chief Argos? Argos: Hmph... for every battleship made and other things, you can't expect every single thing to be reported. Besides which, I'm occupied with negotiations with the Great Evil Empire... Shouldn't the ones who blame their failures on others stop instead? Ankoku Daishogun: What...? Argos: Besides, I couldn't care less about your saving face as a commander. Don't forget that we've all sworn an oath of loyalty to that person only. Ankoku Daishogun: You as well, if you have the free time to think about unimportant things, then at least spend a little of it collecting information regarding other affairs. Argos: You don't have to tell me that. Gorgon has already been sent to Japan. Ankoku Daishogun: Very well. ...but, I've long been the leader of the 7 Great Combat Beast Armies. Command of the front lines is in my jurisdiction. Don't forget that. Argos: (Hmph... only until the revival of that person.) Ankoku Daishogun: Alright, Mycene Soldiers. The time for battle has come! From here onward, advance towards Japan for the first step of the operation to reclaim the surface! We'll seize the surface back from the humans, and make the world of the Mycene! Hadias: The surface and the sun will be ours! Birdler: The humans will die! Ankoku Daishogun: Just wait, Tetsuya Tsurugi... For our outset, we Mycene will plunge you, our old enemy, into the depths of hell...!!
