SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 21 ***STAGE 21*** G ISLAND CITY Zondar Metal: ..... Daimonji: This is...!? Leo: "Zondar Metal", which was affixed to the human that turned into EI-02 and rampaged through Tokyo. Sakon: Zondar? Leo: Mm-hmm. That's what the person we took it from called it. Its main characteristic is that when affixed to a machine... it expands indefinitely. Sakon: Adding this in, I feel as though there's some kind of evil will afoot. Leo: Mm-hmm. Something which takes advantage of people's weak hearts could be nothing else. One could say that means that while their form is similiar to Antibodies, their existence is the opposite. Daimonji: Which means... Leo: That's right. The Zondar Metal is alive. If you follow that line of thinking... one can discern its objective. Sakon: And that objective is? Leo: The fundamental duty of all living things is to procreate... well, in their case, it would probably be propogation. Anyway... The conclusion drawn from that is that if the EI were to increase in number, it'd grow out of hand. Daimonji: In other words... This world would be Zondarized...? Leo: Mm-hmm. If stronger EI kept multiplying, in our world... With "Z0 Particles" spreading, they would wreak huge changes in their path. Sakon: Zed Zero? Entouji: Yeah, it's the designation we gave the particles being emitted from that metal. We percieved them whenever the EIs emerged. In small amounts, they seem harmless to humans, but... in large amounts... Daimonji: The human becomes an EI, huh... Leo: Right. However... There is a way to solve this, as well. Sakon: That mysterious boy, right? Leo: Mm-hmm. By his strange power, the humans were returned to normal. Entouji: We're calling this phenomenon "Purification". Daimonji: Cleansing... Leo: Although we're trying to understand the technology, we can't replicate it here. Sakon: ...so in short, what you're saying is, that boy's power is the key to saving this world from being mechanized. Leo: That's right. As soon as we can figure out his whereabouts... (Beeping sound) Leo: !? Entouji: Emergency transmission from him. There have been readings of Z0 Particles caught from Isolde in the Eastern Tomakomai region of Hokkaido. Taiga: Z0...! A Zondar!! Leo: Hold on, Isolde is definitely... Entouji: Yes... Professor Yumi of the Photonic Labs and Dr. Saotome of the Saotome Labs were going there for observational purposes. Leo: Oh no...! If something were to happen to those two, it'd be major trouble! Mikoto: B, but... What's he doing in that area!? Entouji: It's a pretty simple reason, because that boy's going to Hokkaido on a family trip. Sakon: Dr. Shishio, who is 'he'? Leo: A special agent of GGG's formidable secret intelligence department. Taiga: Professor, this is a serious matter. I'm sending the GGG Mobile Corps to Hokkaido. Leo: Gai's adjustments are inadequate, but, just as I figured, it needs to be as you say... Daimonji: Then, we Alpha Numbers will head for Hokkaido as well. Leo: I'm going too. Ushi, Mikoto-kun, cover for me. Ushiyama: Got it. Entouji: I'll be going too. We can meet up with him there. Mikoto: (Gai's body still isn't complete... But still, it'll be worse if he doesn't go...) Leo: Swan-kun, you take care of Goldymarg's final adjustments. Swan: Got it. Hyuuma: We're countin' on ya. That one's like me, got a lot of delicate spots. Swan: Delicate or not, leave it to me! Taiga: Alright! Without further ado, we'll commence Operation Destroy the Zondar on Isolde! GGG Mobile Corps, move out!! EASTERN TOMAKOMAI, ISOLDE Camille: So that's Isolde, huh... it's much bigger than I imagined it would be. Sanshiro: So, what the heck is it? Hyouma: Kosuke, you're up. Kosuke: Isolde is a giant particle accelerator... In other words, a facility which collides particles accelerated to super-high speeds. Hyouma: In short, kinda like a racetrack? Kosuke: Huh!? Hiroshi: I see. It certainly looks like a circuit course. Kosuke: W, well... collisions are dangerous for both, to be sure, but aside from that similiarity... it's a place designed to generate vast amounts of energy. Daimonji: ...Midori-kun, what's the reply from Isolde? Midori: Nothing as of yet... Pete: Has it already fallen under enemy control...? Sayaka: Father... Kouji: Damnit, I can't take this anymore! Let's hurry up and go save the professors!! Camille: Settle down, Kouji. There's no way we can go out there with no idea of what's going on inside. Kouji: But! Daimonji: At any rate, interior recon is our first priority. We need to quickly designate which members... Enryu: Leave that duty... Hyoryu: To us, please. Kouji: Y, you guys...!! Sanshiro: The brother robots from earlier...! Hyuuma: Yup, Hyoryu and Enryu. They'll take care of searching around inside of Isolde. Hyouma: I see... they're a lot sturdier than us, huh. Hiroshi: ..... Leo: I want Hyoryu and Enryu to cover two of the four gates to the interior. Kouji: Then what about the remaining two? Entouji: Our secret intelligence agent is en route to one of them. And, the other is... Leo: Mm-hmm. Gai, of course... I'd rather he kept his body safe out of harm's way, but... Hiroshi: In that case, I'll be going too. Leo: You will!? Hiroshi: Yeah. My powered suit gives me an edge. Besides, I'm worried about that Gai fellow too. Leo: ...is that so, if it's you... I hate to ask, but, can I please rely on you? Hiroshi: Yeah, just leave it to me. Gai: ...thanks, Mikoto. I've had my rest. Mikoto: Gai... I guess you're... Gai: Yep. If there's a Zondar in Isolde, I have to go, right? Mikoto: B, but... If you use Hell and Heaven just one more time, we can't give any guarantees on your life... Gai: So you heard from Dad... Mikoto: Gai... Please... ...stop fighting... If something were to happen to you, I'd... Gai: Mikoto... I was thinking... Mikoto: ..... Gai: That maybe this body was given to me by God, to save the people of the world... Mikoto: B, but! Gai: Don't worry, Mikoto. I'll definitely come back. I promise. Mikoto: Gai... Gai: I haven't broken any promises up until now, have I? Mikoto: B, but... I... I don't want to see you get injured anymore...! (Runs off) Gai: Mikoto... Hiroshi: 'Scuse me, coming in. Gai: ! You're... Hiroshi: Hiroshi Shiba. Since you're in need, I came here. Gai: Need? Just what kind of... (Snapping sound) Gai: Kh...! My body's...! Hiroshi: H, hey! You alright!? Gai: J, just this little... I'm fine...! Hiroshi: In that kind of condition, fighting is impossible. I'm going along with you. Gai: What'd you say...? Hiroshi: Whatever the case, you and I have pretty much the same kind of setup. Gai: The same...? Hiroshi: Yeah. We're both guys who are forced to deal with our dads' nonsense. Gai: That's not true... I'm grateful to Dad. He gave me this body... and gave meaning to my life... Hiroshi: ....! Gai: So, there's no way I can't go. Even if it costs my life...! Hiroshi: ..... (...meaning to your life, huh...) Hyoryu: Hyoryu here. I'll be arriving at Isolde's lowest level shortly. Hyuuma: Alright... keep it up at that pace. If you find Prof. Yumi and Dr. Saotome, getting them out is top priority. Hyoryu: Understood. Hyuuma: Enryu, how's the West Route? Enryu: It looks like the professors aren't here. I'm continuing to investigate. Leo: Which leaves... either North or South... Hiroshi: ...you okay, Gai? Gai: Yeah, I'm in better condition. Hiroshi: Heh... just what I'd expect of a cyborg. I was worried about how it might end up. Gai: The same goes for... Hiroshi: ? Gai: Ah, um... nothing. (That's right... He still doesn't realize about his own body...) Hiroshi: ! Someone's behind us!? Gai: !? ???: Hoh... so you noticed my presence. Hiroshi: You're...!? Gai: A Zondar!? Pizza: Fufufu... I am one of the Four Heavenly Machinery Lords. I'm called Pizza. Gai: Four Heavenly Machinery Lords...!? Could that be, those four machine people...!? Hiroshi: Hold on, if there's Four Heavenly Lords... Are your other friends here!? Pizza: That's exactly right. My brethren are disposing of the other Trash right now. Hiroshi: You've got some attitude! If it comes to that... Gai: Wait, Hiroshi! Let me handle things here! You get the professors out of here!! Hiroshi: What'd you say!? Gai: Just go! I'll catch up soon! Pizza: Hoh, quite the confident one. However... Gai: !? Pizza: This place is ours! We'll exterminate all intruders! Hiroshi: Some kinda monster!? Gai: Go on, Hiroshi! Leave him to me!! Hiroshi: G, got it! Hiroshi: Where are they...!? Where are the professors!? ???: ...I've been waiting... Hiroshi: ! You're!? Penchinon: One of the Four Heavenly Machinery Lords, Penchinon... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hiroshi: Ch-! So you're a friend of that guy back there!! Penchinon: Wheeeee? You're no ordinary human are you...? Hiroshi: What!? Penchinon: Oh well! You'll die heeeeere!! (Blast sound) Penchinon: Wh, who's there!? Volfogg: Volfogg, with the GGG Secret Intelligence Division... Hiroshi: Secret Intelligence Division...!? That's right, the one taking the South route...! Volfogg: I'll handle things here. Please continue the search for the professors. Hiroshi: R, right! Got it! (Runs off) Penchinon: Wheeeeeee! I won't forgive people who interfere with us!! Volfogg: I can't allow you to advance past here. I'll be your opponent! EPISODE 21: THE GOLDEN GOD OF DESTRUCTION [Carrier launch] Gai: Kh-! We somehow managed to shake them off!! Enryu: Are you okay, Captain!? Gai: Yeah, somehow! How're things over there!? Hyoryu: We also encountered enemies referring to themselves as the Four Heavenly Machinery Lords, and shook off their pursuit! Gai: In that case, the ones who gained control of this area are... Volfogg: Yes, them. Enryu: ! You're...!? Volfogg: My name is Volfogg. From here on, we'll be getting acquainted. Gai: Volfogg, what about Prof. Yumi and Dr. Saotome!? Volfogg: Rest at ease. It seems the group member Hiroshi Shiba succeeded in getting them out. (Jeeg shows up) Gai: Hiroshi!! Hiroshi: They're both fine! Hurry and get them to a safe place! Gai: Understood, let Galeon handle that! (Galeon roars) Hiroshi: Take care of the professors, Galeon! (Galeon retreats) Gai: Alright, we're returning too! Hyoryu: Roger that, Captain. (Units retreat) Primada: Fufufu... It seems we bought enough time... Polonese: Yes... to bring forth new Zondar. Primada: All the preparations are in order... Penchinon: Wheeeeee! We'll make this place their graaaaaave! (Enemy units show up) Camille: ! That's!? Kenichi: Mobile suits and... Mechasauruses!? Killy: Even Dokuuga mecha are there...! Remy: Hold on a sec! What's going on!? Banjou: It couldn't be... (Resonance sound) Hime Brain: ..... Hime: What's wrong!? Yuu: The Brains reacted... which means...! Nanga: Those are Zondar!? Camille: That's ridiculous...! Entouji: It seems as though they're copies of the originals, made in some way or another... Though, they're unmanned. Kenichi: Is that also the power of the Zondar Metal...? Entouji: Collecting machines made with various technologies, and using them to augment one's own battle power... it's kind of like us. Taking that into consideration, that makes them pretty tough opponents. Hyouma: You've gotta be kidding! Us, losing to some lousy copies!? Kouji: Yeah! We'll show 'em that now! [Units launch] Leo: Okay everyone, listen up. The Zondar controlling those copies has got to be around here somewhere. As long as we don't do something about that, we won't be able to recover Isolde! Banjou: In other words, flush the leader out and destroy it? Leo: That's it! Don't fool around or slip up! Amuro: Alright... All units, deploy! Commence the attack! Gai: Come on, Galeon! It's time for Fusion!! (Galeon roars) Gai: GAIGAAAAAAAARR!! Pizza: (Fufufu... Relic of Cain. I'll consign that abhorrent power of yours to oblivion...) [Commence Battle] [Turn 2 Player Phase] Mikoto: Lifesigns detected near the West Gate of Isolde! It's... a human! Leo: What'd you say!? Inubouzaki: Fufufufufufufu.... Entouji: It's Inubouzaki...! Leo: What!? Wasn't that the GGG top system engineer candidate!? Hyuuma: Don't tell me he's got a grudge against Entouji...!? Inubouzaki: Fufufu... Hahahahahaha! Zondar human: ZONDAAAAARR!! (Zondar unit appears) Gai: ! That's!! Kouji: I, isn't that Gaogaigar!? Keith: P, pretty impressive... for them to copy that...!! Entouji: I think it's probably stolen parts, fused with a Zondar, using data for Gaogaigar obtained through hacking. Gai: In that case, I'll show 'em the real thing! Mikoto, Final Fusion!! Mikoto: ..... Leo: What's wrong, Mikoto-kun!? Mikoto: If he keeps fighting like this... Gai will... Gai will die...!! Gai: Don't worry, Mikoto! I'll keep my promise!! I'm coming back alive! So believe in me!! Mikoto: U, ugh...! Gai: Mikoto, I'm counting on you!! Mikoto: I, I understand, Gai...! I believe in you...! Gai: Alright! Come on! Pizza: I won't allow it! (Gaigar is attacked) Gai: Gwah!! Ushiyama: The Guide Beacon for Gaigar's combination mechanism has been destroyed!! Hyuuma: What!? Leo: Oh no! If he does Final Fusion like this... Gaigar and the Gao Machines will crash into each other!! Kouji: So combining's impossible!? Hyuuma: Isn't there anything we can do!? Leo: Umm...! Gai: Damnit! At this rate-!! Hyouma: Don't give up! If you can't combine automatically... Then just do it manually!! Kosuke: Th, that's absurd! Leo: No, it can be done!! (Gao Machines appear) Gai: Gao Machines!? Hyuuma: Listen up, Gai! We'll coordinate the combination timing! Gai: ! Don't tell me, the ones in the Gao Machines are...!? Hyuuma: You got it! Professor, how's your side!? Leo: Liner Gao, all OK! Ushiyama: Ushiyama here in the Drill Gao! Preparations complete! We can combine any time! Hyuuma: Okay, leave the Stealth Gao to me! Gai: Y, you guys... Kazuya: We'll carry the Gao Machines! After that... Leo: It's all your show, Gai!! Gai: A, alright...! Got it!! Mikoto: The chance of Final Fusion succeeding manually is 31.2%! It's too dangerous! Gai: Mikoto! There's no time for hesitation! Ushiyama: That's right! We can do it at this rate! Entouji: With me offering support from here, the chance is closer to 60%! Hyuuma: If you add 10% for each courageous person here, it's 100%!! Hyouma: And if that's still not enough, we'll do our part to raise it too!! Mikoto: ..... Gai: That's right... I have comrades here with me...! They'll definitely make this combination a success!! Mikoto! Once more, Final Fusion! Mikoto: Understood! Final Fusion, Manual Program Drive!! Entouji: Support Program, Start! (Machines move into position) Gai: Uwoooo-! FINAL! FUUUUUUUUUUSIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOONN!! (Combination) Gai: GAO! GAI! GAAAAAAAAAAR!! Hyouma: Alright!! Kosuke: A, amazing...! To really succeed at manually combining...! Hyuuma: With courage and guts and spirit, that's nothin'!! Leo: Gai, you don't need to be concerned about us, but... You can't use Hell and Heaven. Gai: ! Leo: Okay? This time, if you use that, your body won't take it again. Gai: But! Leo: Let the others handle getting the Zondar core out. Besides... I've got something better up my sleeve. Trust me. Gai: I, I understand... Dad...! [Resume battle] [When EI-15 is defeated] Leo: Alright! The Zondar Core!? Mikoto: Volfogg has successfully removed it! Entouji: Phew... Inubouzaki, you forgot something essential... what sets an impostor apart from the real thing... That thing is evidence of courage. Pizza: Not bad, Cyborg... And you humans as well. Penchinon: In the end, only a fake... Unable to triumph against the genuine Relic of Cain. Primada: Then, next up is my turn. Mikoto: !! There are life signs within the very center of Isolde!! Hyuuma: What!? Akiko Hirata: ..... Kosuke: Th, that's...!? Chizuru: Who is that!? Kosuke: The top leading figure in the field of gravitational manipulation, Dr. Hirata! Sayaka: Y, you don't mean... that person also...!? Hirata: ..... Zondar human: ZONDAAAARRR!! (Zondar unit emerges) (Gravity wave) Kou: Th, the mechs!! Gai: They're held to the ground!! Sanshiro: W, we can't move!? Kincaid: It's not machine trouble...! This is!? Entouji: Nix particles are increasing in an area past the Unitality threshold! Mikoto: The gravity coefficient is rising! Leo: Th, this is... an abnormal gravity flux! At this rate, everyone will be crushed flat! Remy: If I'd known it would come to this, I would have gone on a diet...! Kincaid: Kh...! So the one controlling the gravity is that Zondar...! Judau: D, damnit! What can we do!? Leo: Don't give up, everyone! Endure for just a little while longer! Gai: What do you mean by that, Dad!? Leo: I told you I had something up my sleeve! Anyway, focus on what's at hand! Primida: Fufufu... such silly struggling. You'll all be masses of crushed metal soon... [Resume battle] [After 2 turns pass, Player Phase] Leo: (Not yet...!? He still hasn't come!?) Primada: Fufufu... remarkable resilience. But, it's over now. (Gravity wave) Gai: Gwaaaa!! Primada: Now, just a little more. A little further, and those accursed robots will become simply lumps of metal...! Gai: They could beat us at this rate!! Mikoto: Gai! Look towards the sky!! Gai: The sky!? (Goldymarg shows up) Goldymarg: Alright! Now THAT'S timing!! Keith: U, uh...? The gravity wave stopped...! Judau: W, we can move...! Goldymarg: Darn right! All thanks to me, Goldymarg-sama! Penchinon: What is that robot...!? Gai: Could that be what Dad was talking about...? Leo: So you made it, Goldymarg! Goldymarg: Yeah! With me here, you've got the power of a hundred men! Everyone can rest easy! Sayaka: That robot... His way of talking, doesn't it resemble someone's? Hyouma: Y, yeah... that kind of ill-patterned speech is just like... Hyuuma: Just like... whose!? Hyouma: A perfect match for Geki Hyuuma's... Hyuuma: Shaddup! There're NO problems whatsoever with Goldymarg's AI system! Hyouma: Wh, what are you getting mad for!? Hyuuma: That AI system has no problems at ALL! No matter what you say, it's manly, burly! Gallant, yet tender and sublime... My personality was used for the basis for his, after all, heh-HEH! No problem! Hyouma: You're serious!? Leo: ...we didn't have time to raise the AI this time, you see. So we copied the thought pattern of a certain person. Hyouma: So, you really did that... Leo: Gai! Goldymarg will give Gaogaigar a new power! Gai: A new power... and that is!? Leo: The ultimate G-Seal... Its name is Goldion Hammer! Gai: Goldion Hammer...!? Leo: Goldymarg! Join your power with Gaogaigar! Goldymarg: Hmph... I'm plenty enough on my own, but fine. That's my role, after all. Mikoto: Dr. Shishio! Goldion Hammer has already been approved for operation! Leo: Alright! Doing Hammer Hell and Heaven with Goldymarg, the stress on Gai's body should be diminished! Gai: Okay... Let's go, Goldymarg! Goldymarg: Yeah! You should be honored to make my acquaintance! [Resume battle] [When EI-15 is defeated by something other than Goldion Hammer] Hyuuma: Damnit! Did we fail!? Gai: Not yet! You think I'll give up here!? (EI-15 regenerates) (Combat sequence) Kazuya: Did we do it!? Hyuuma: Okay! We got the core out! [Stage cleared] Tobia: A, amazing...! Penchinon: Wheeeeee! You detestable peopleeeee! Pizza: Gaogaigar... I shall remember that name... Gai: A, all that's left now is... ugh-!! Mikoto: ! Gai!! Ushiyama: D, doctor! Gai's G-stone's functionality is dropping! Leo: Oh no! The limit!? Ushiyama: A, at this rate, Gai's vital signs are plunging! Mikoto: !! Gai! Don't diiieee!! Mamoru: Stoooooooop! (Mamoru shows up) Nanga: ! That child is...!? Gai: ....! Mamoru: Just wait... I'll heal you now... (Casts Heal) Gai: Ah...! Mamoru: Let me take care of the Zondar... (Healing sequence) Ushiyama: Purification has been confirmed. Leo: So... you came as I expected you to... Mamoru: ..... Gai: Today... you're not going anywhere, right... Mamoru: Yeah... I feel as though I should lend all of you a hand, Uncle. Gai: ..... Mamoru: Besides... I think God might have given me this power in order to save the people of the world. Gai: (This kid's... got the same thoughts as me...) Mamoru: ..... Gai: Thanks. What's your name? Mamoru: Mamoru Amami... Gai: I'm Gai Shishio. And also... Please don't call me Uncle. No matter how you look at me, I'm still 20, right? Mamoru: Alright... G ISLAND CITY Taiga: Professor Yumi, Dr. Saotome... it's good you're both safe. Yumi: Chief Taiga, I thank you for the GGG Mobile Corps' prompt action. Saotome: I was afraid of what might happen, but thanks to you, we were saved. Taiga: Not at all, this victory is the result of a joint operation between us and the Alpha Numbers. Leo: By the way... Did you two encounter the four machine people inside Isolde? Saotome: Yes. Thanks to that, we were able to get a rough approximation of their objective. Taiga: ! Is that true!? Yumi: Yes. I believe the objective of those four... the "Zondarians", is to secure a large source of energy output. Leo: An energy source... to refine the Zondar Metal? Saotome: Yes. It seems the Zondarians planned to make Isolde into a Zondar Metal production plant. Yumi: It also appears that they have an interest in my Photon Power research as well. Leo: I see... Then, Getter rays as well? Saotome: No... If Hiroshi Shiba-kun hadn't come to save me, I'd probably have been eliminated by now. Leo: What was that...!? Saotome: Whatever the case, they seem to view Getter rays as something hostile. Sakon: ...Getter rays are energy which promotes evolution in living things... to them, that could be an antithesis. Saotome: Mm-hmm... I think so too. If I were to make a guess, I'd say there might be some connection between this and the increase in Getter ray phenomena over the past few years. Leo: ...So anyhow, the Zondar are aiming for facilities that can produce large amounts of energy... Which means, to respond to that promptly... Taiga: Mm-hmm. It would be best for us to entrust the GGG Mobile Corps to the Alpha Numbers. Leo: Right. Mikoto: (So... I have to be seperated from Gai...) Taiga: Then... as of this moment in Japan standard time, the GGG Mobile Corps will join ranks with the Alpha Numbers. Dr. Shishio, may the GS-Ride operator also accompany Gai and the others? Leo: Mm-hmm. With Mikoto-kun as well. Mikoto: Eh!? Leo: To make practical use of Gaogaigar requires an operator... and there's also Gai. Wouldn't it be best for you to be at his side too, Mikoto-kun? Mikoto: Y, yessir! Leo: Then it's decided. Also, Chief... Taiga: I know. For issuance of approvals, I'll be on call 24 hours a day. Request it any time you need. Leo: No, what I wanted to talk about was... Taiga: I know that too. About the green-haired boy... Mamoru Amami-kun, right? Leo: Mm-hmm... He was good enough to promise to help us, but he's still an elementary school student... Taiga: ...leave taking care of him to me. I'll ask him as a fellow man of duty... Tobia: S, so this is the Big Order Room...! Katsu: I'd heard of it from stories, but, to even have chairs available for robots to use... Hyoryu: We may be robots from your reckoning, but our habits are based on humans. Tobia: I see. So then... Enryu: Humans like to sit back and relax in spacious rooms, right? Juuzou: ...sayin' that, we need space like this in the Daikumaryu interior, huh? Kosuke: According to Sakon-san, the hangar has been remodelled for the Brain Powereds. Juuzou: I get it. Since they like to move around a lot on their own... Guess it'll somehow work out for 'em. Goldymarg: It'd better. This awesome body of mine needs the best constant care, after all. Hyouma: Geez. Bragging about your own body like that really is like Geki Hyuuma... Kenta: In that case, we can give you massages along with the Brains! Kumazo: Massages! Goldymarg: That'd be great. I'll be countin' on you for that. Kenta: Right, since we're friends! Hyoryu: ! You would call us your friends? Kenta: ...I can't? Enryu: Of course you can, I'm overjoyed. Tobia: Mecha are friends, huh... when talking with Hyoryu and Enryu, it really feels that way. Kenta: Yup. Other than having mechanical bodies, they're the same as us. Hyouma: Well, just avoid fighting with the Brains. Juuzou: Really. If guys your size got into a fight, it'd be no joke. Hyoryu: They're comrades who share the same intent as us... I have no plans of doing anything of the sort. Goldymarg: Don't worry, Hyouma. I'll treat 'em friendly-like. Hyouma: Honestly... already addressing people informally. That's also like Geki... Mamoru: Mamoru Amami, 9 years old! Address and phone number... none! Taiga: Ah, Mamoru-kun. Mamoru: Good afternoon, Chief! Taiga: Cheerful and polite, that's good. It'd be nice if Hyuuma-kun and some others could learn from your example. Hyuuma: Well excuse me! Mamoru: And... what is it you want me to do? Taiga: Hmm... I'd like for you to participate with the Alpha Numbers, but... There's some explaining that'll have to be done to your parents. Mamoru: But... Taiga: I know what you're thinking. You want to keep your purification power secret, right? Mamoru: Yessir... If Mom and Dad knew about it, they'd always be worried... Up until now... I've somehow managed to hide it, but... Taiga: Then, Mamoru-kun. As an adult, I'll be a liar. Mamoru: Eh...!? Taiga: I wouldn't want to see a child like you continue to lie... Let me handle that. Mamoru: I'm home... Isamu: Welcome home, Mamoru. Mamoru: D, Dad...! You're back already? Isamu: Since a special guest is coming today, I took off early. More importantly than that, where did you go? Mamoru: ...I... I went to the Space Development Corporation's Library... Isamu: ..... Mamoru... lately, you've been a little odd. Even on our trip to Hokkaido, you got lost... When you did... Do you know how much Mama worried? Mamoru: Y, yeah... Isamu: If there's some reason for it, you can tell your dad. I can help. Mamoru: ...it, it's nothing. Really... Isamu: ...Is that it... Then, from now on, when you go out to play, make sure to tell us exactly where you're going. Mamoru: (...I'm sorry, Dad...) (Door sound) Ai: Papa... our honored guest came. Isamu: ! Th, then, he's headed this way? Taiga: Pardon the intrusion. Mamoru: C, Chief! (I didn't expect... for the chief to come to my house...) Taiga: Hoh... so you know of me. But, I'm not a chief. I'm the president of the Space Development Corporation. Isamu: W, welcome to our home, Mr. President! Mamoru, this here is the most important person in Papa's workplace. Mamoru: P, pleased to meet you. I'm Mamoru Amami. Taiga: That's a good greeting, Mamoru-kun. Isamu: S, so then, Mr. President... You wanted to talk to us? Taiga: Amami-kun, and the Missus as well, putting aside the small talk, the Space Development Corporation is in the process of working on a Space Physical Development Program for young boys and girls. For that... I want to ask your son, Mamoru-kun, to act as its monitor. Isamu: I, I'm honored! If it's alright with Mamoru, of course I'll be more than happy to allow it! Ai: Yes... After all, it's a wonderful thing to see this wide world from a small area... Taiga: How about it, Mamoru-kun? I'll ask you before your parents... Could you come along with me? Mamoru: I'll... I'll go... Please allow me to go! Taiga: Then it's decided. You can leave tomorrow... We'll be waiting for you at G Island City. Mamoru: Yessir! Isamu: Mamoru, your dad is very proud of you. Make sure to do your best. Ai: You may get lonely, but just take care of yourself... Mamoru: ..... (Dad, Mom, Hana-chan, everyone else... Sorry...) (I'm going... together with the people of the Alpha Numbers...) (To protect the world all of you live in...) [EYECATCH]
