SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 22 ***STAGE 22*** PACIFIC OCEAN Erika: ..... Melby: What's wrong, Erika? You're going to be my bride soon. How about giving a smile like a bride should? Erika: ...I'm not going to marry you. Melby: Heheheh... getting angry doesn't suit you. You'd do much better with a flowery smile... Erika: Officer Melby... If you come any closer to me, I'll kill myself...! Melby: Hoh... Margarette: M... Milady...! Erika: I am not your doll. I am a person with my own will, thoughts, and actions. And, there is only one person whom I love in this universe...! Melby: ...So you'll throw your life away for the sake of that Earthling, Kazuya Ryuuzaki? Erika: ...I have no regrets. Melby: ..... Erika: ..... Melby: Fufufufufu... Fufufu... Hahahahahahaha... Erika: Officer Melby...? Melby: Erika... as I thought, you're the most suited person to be a peace ambassador. Erika: Eh...? Melby: Dange, come over here. Dange: Sir Melby... I guess our choice doesn't seem to have been wrong. Margarette: This person is...!? Dange: My name is Dange. A former general of Boazan. Erika: Former...? Dange: Yes. Right now, I'm a member of the Peaceful Liberation Front, which is made up of collaborators within Boazan, Bharm, and Zera. Erika: Peaceful Liberation Front...? Melby: Right. There are also those who love peace among those three planets... People who are opposed to the methods of the military and the leaders in power, who wish to make peace with the Earth. Erika: So such an organization truly exists...! Dange: After the incident of His Excellency, Exalted Ruler Leon being assassinated, those who called for peace were thoroughly suppressed by the military... But, with Sir Melby's guidance, we managed to make it to the Earth. Erika: Officer Melby... Just what have you...!? Melby: Fufufufu... Dange: All the heavy drinking stuff is a camouflage... Sir Melby is the leader of our organization, you see. Melby: Decieving Olban is a pain, you know. Besides which, I have to keep the act up all the time... Margarette: But, you're the nephew of Exalted Ruler Olban... To organize such a group... Melby: It has nothing to do with blood relations. As a human, I can't forgive the things Olban's done...! Erika: Officer Melby...! Melby: Erika... In order to get close to you and take you away from that underwater fortress, I forced all sorts of unpleasantries on you... First off, I apologize for my rudeness. Erika: Officer Melby... Rather, Melby-sama, the fact that you turned out to be someone who loves peace makes me overjoyed... But... Why did you help take me away from the underwater fortress? Melby: ...so that we could get you to aid our activities. Erika: Eh...!? Melby: You continually insist on peace, even while being the orphaned child of the assassinated Exalted Ruler Leon... And, your love for Kazuya Ryuuzaki above all others is an inspiration to us... A symbol of peace. Erika: Kazuya and I are... Melby: And, Erika... you should know the truth. Behind Exalted Ruler Leon's assassination and the current fighting, Olban is the one pulling all the strings... Erika: ....! TOKYO Noin: Then, the re-opening of negotiations with Bharm wasn't approved? Relena: ...Yes... Unfortunately, I had to deal with fierce opposition from the military... Lady Une: ...at present, starting with General Miwa of the Far East Branch, the war hawks are in control of the Federation. So with the current state of things, the soldiers are throwing oil onto the fire... Relena: (Heero... Is this the limit of what I can do...?) (Maybe these are times which require fighting more than talking...) ???: ...Fufufufufu... Noin: ! Who's there!? Ikima: Fufufufu... My name is Ikima. A leader of the Jama Kingdom. Relena: Jama Kingdom!? Noin: ! What did you do to the guards!? Ikima: It'd be troublesome if they caused a scene. They're statues right now. Noin: What'd you say!? Ikima: That's neither here nore there. I didn't come here in order to fight. Relena: Then, what is your objective? Ikima: Himika-sama's orders were to bring you to her. If you value your life, you'll come along... Relena: Where do you plan on taking me? Ikima: Fufufu... of course, the Jama Kingdom. Relena: ....! JAMA KINGDOM MAIN HEADQUARTERS Himika: ...welcome. I'm the Queen of the Jama Kingdom, and the rightful ruler of Japan, Himika. Relena: I'm Relena Darlian. Though it's abrupt, your business with me? Himika: Hoh... You're not afraid? Relena: Just this kind of thing... I've been prepared to deal with since accepting this job. Himika: Quite the stoic girl. In that case, you could handle mediation between the land of my Jama Kingdom and the land of the surface. Relena: Mediation...? Are you saying you want to meet and talk with us? Himika: Exactly... As opposed to you all, the Jama Kingdom plans to make a legal claim. Relena: ...then, let's hear what you have to say. Himika: Originally, the Jama Kingdom was a country which co-existed in Japan together with nature... We enjoyed the blessings of nature, and made a living peacefully. But, that peace was suddenly torn asunder. Relena: ..... Himika: Yes... Barbarians from a foreign land threw the Jama Kingdom into dire peril... To deal with that, we used extradimensional science... and went into a long slumber beneath the Earth. Relena: And... this time is when you awoke? Himika: Correct. This land is originally ours... I that to be conveyed to the rest of you humans. Relena: If that's the case... Why didn't you choose to talk with us to start with? Amaso: Silence, wench! As Himika-sama said, Japan is originally ours! Mimashi: An owner taking back his own possession is the natural thing to do! Himika: Stand down, Amaso and Mimashi! This one's words are perfectly natural! Amaso: Y, yes ma'am... Himika: Lady Relena... We realized our own mistake. If things continue the way they are, Japan will be engulfed in flames and ruined... That's not what we want. Relena: ..... Himika: Has it already come to the point of no return? Is there no other path besides mutual destruction? Relena: ...I understand. As someone who wishes for peace, I trust your words, your Highness. I'll work from within the Federation Government, and have a place of negotiation designated. Himika: Oh... you have my gratitude, Lady Relena. If you speak with Dr. Sentarou Shiba of the Build Base, he should be the one with the most knowledge of the Jama Kingdom. By all means possible, lend us your strength. Relena: Dr. Shiba, right? I'll pay him a visit as soon as possible. Himika: Then, we'll escort you as far as the Build Base. I'll be waiting for good news. Relena: Yes ma'am... (I have to hurry... I should relay this to the Alpha Numbers immediately, or...) Himika: (Fufufufufu....) BUILD BASE Sentarou: ..... Relena: ...that's all Queen Himika had to say. Synapse: I never expected for such a request to come from the underground forces... Vera: Can we trust its credibility? Daimonji: Before considering that, I think it would be better for the Federation Government... no, for that General Miwa to hear about it. Miwa: That's true, isn't it... Vera: What do you think, Dr. Shiba? Sentarou: The Jama Kingdom's claims are the rationalizations of an invader... It's just their way of putting pressure on others with their own arbitrary logic. Hiroshi: Can you say that kind of thing, Dad? Sentarou: Hiroshi, this isn't the time for us to be arguing. Hiroshi: So it's like that when you're in no position to defend yourself. Even with my body... Synapse: That's enough from you. We're listening to Dr. Shiba's ideas right now. Miwa: That's right, Hiroshi-san. Don't go running off at the mouth. Hiroshi: Che... well excuse me. Synapse: ...so, what do you think? Professor. Sentarou: As I view it, Himika must have had some kind of ruse in mind. Synapse: I think so as well. Relena: Then, you two are opposed to having peace talks with them? Synapse: While it's unfortunate... I'm afraid that's how it is. Sentarou: ...for you to go to so much trouble to convey their request out of your love for peace, is highly commendable. But... Between us and the Jama Kingdom, there can be only continual fighting. Relena: ...I can accept well enough that my thinking up to this point was too idealistic. But, I don't think you should rely solely on force to settle things with opposing forces either. Hiroshi: I was tricked into fighting originally. It's not like fighting's something I enjoy. Relena: That's all the more reason I don't want us to give up a chance to compromise with them. Vera: ..... Sentarou: (It'd be nice if her decision wouldn't backfire on us, but...) Synapse: Well then, Dr. Shiba... We'll be returning to our ships, and going into alert status. ...since the enemy could appear any time now. Sentarou: Understood. Vera: Then, if you'll excuse us. (Door slide) Sentarou: ...Hiroshi, Utsugi-kun. Both of you remain here, if you would. Miwa: ...does this have to do with the new Jeeg Parts? Sentarou: No, it doesn't. Miwa: (! Could it be... the Professor's going to tell...?) Hiroshi: Sorry, Dad, but I'm not in the mood to hear one of your lectures. Sentarou: No... To be frank, there's something I want to tell you. Hiroshi: If you feel like telling me the secret of my body, I'm listening. Sentarou: Secret...? Hiroshi: I'm not an idiot. My body's unusual toughness, and that powered suit... just how dumb do you think I am? Sentarou: ..... Hiroshi: The clincher was the Zondarian. He said I was no ordinary human... Besides which, it seems both Michie and Gai know something I don't. Miwa: Th, that's... Hiroshi: Now, how about giving an explanation! What kind of secret is hidden within my body!? Sentarou: ..... Hiroshi: I've had it up to here with all the fighting without knowing anything! Dad, answer me! Sentarou: ...very well. I kept you behind because I intended to. Miwa: P, Professor...! Sentarou: Utsugi-kun... We can't continue to hide the truth from Hiroshi any longer. I'll tell him everything now. Okay, Hiroshi... listen up carefully. Hiroshi: ...yeah. Sentarou: Your body isn't human. It's a cyborg. Hiroshi: !! Cyborg...! You said cyborg!? Then I'm... the same as Gai...!? Sentarou: That's right. The Bronze Bell I discovered long ago... I had to conceal the secret of the Jama Kingdom. No matter what happened to me, I couldn't allow the Bronze Bell to fall into Himika's hands. And so... to protect that, and to have something which could fight them, I modified your body. Hiroshi: I, I'm a cyborg...! I'm not human...! I'm not human!! Miwa: Calm down, Hiroshi-san. Hiroshi: Don't touch me!! Miwa: ! Hiroshi: I'm the only one who didn't know...! The fact that I'm just a machine made for battle! Sentarou: ..... Hiroshi: Modifying your true son like that, can you even call yourself human!? Sentarou: ...you're right, Hiroshi. As you can see, I'm no longer human. All of it is for the sake of protecting the surface world from the Jama Kingdom. Hiroshi: Ugh...! Miwa: Hiroshi-san... to stop the Jama Kingdom's invasion, he had to do this... Hiroshi: You think I give a rat's ass about that kind of arbitrary justification!? I was modified without ever knowing it!! Miwa: Hiroshi-san! Your body is that of a cyborg, but your heart is still that of a human! Why can't you understand that!? Hiroshi: I'm not like you, Michie! I'm not a human... Just a cyborg! Sentarou: Hiroshi... your power is something to use to fight the enemies of mankind, starting with the Jama Kingdom. Hiroshi: Shut up! I've had it with fighting! You think I'll just do what you say!? Sentarou: Hiroshi! (Leaves) Sentarou: So he left... Miwa: Professor... I'll try to convince Hiroshi-san to... Sentarou: Leave him be. As long as he can't overcome this reality, Hiroshi won't be able to survive the battles to come. Yes... Much like Gai Shishio-kun... Miwa: ..... Relena: (Even though I couldn't gain the approval of the Captains, that doesn't mean I'm giving up...) (Stopping all of the fighting entirely might be difficult, but I should at least be able to reduce it...) ???: ...Vice Foreign Relations Minister Darlian... Relena: !! ???: ...Vice-Minister Darlian... I came to meet with you... how was the response...? Relena: Th, that's...! Mimashi: Fufufu... So as I thought, you failed. In that case, we'll just have to ascertain the whereabouts of the Bronze Bell for ourselves. Relena: Was that your intent all along...!? Mimashi: Fufufufu... Fuhahahahahaha!! EPISODE 22: AWAKEN, JEEG! THE FURIOUS COUNTERATTACK! Gai: Wait up, Hiroshi! Where are you planning to go!? Hiroshi: As you can plainly see, I'm leaving the Daikumaryu. It's not like you didn't know what was done to my body all along. Gai: !! You don't mean, you learned... about that!? Hiroshi: Yeah, I'm a cyborg, like you. Real f***ing funny. And you just sat there knowing all along without saying a single word to me? Gai: Hiroshi... I apologize for hiding the truth. But, please listen to me... Hiroshi: Shut up! I've already got a clear enough explanation! I was made into a cyborg with no say of my own in the matter!! Gai: That's... ! Hold on, Hiroshi! Look over there! Mimashi: Can you here me, Sentarou Shiba! I have Vice-Minister Darlian in my custody! Hiroshi: That's!? Noin: Relena-sama! Mimashi: If you value this one's life, you'll give me the location of the Bronze Bell!! Sentarou: As I thought, it was a ruse...! Relena: You all never intended to talk things over with us to begin with, did you...!? Mimashi: Of course not. The rightful ruler of this country is Himika-sama... There's no need to discuss that with all of you. Relena: If that's your true intent, then I'm prepared as well...! Mimashi: Hoh, so you're saying you don't value your life? But, I wonder if it's of more use to the rest of them? Trowa: ...while there's a hostage, we can't afford careless slip-ups. Boss: Where the heck did Heero go at a critical time like this, huh!? Duo: Well, he's probably doing his... usual thing. So, nothing to worry about. Boss: !? Pete: Professor Daimonji, there must be more enemies out there than just that one man! Please give the command to sortie! Daimonji: But, if we do that while Vice-Minister Darlian is being held hostage...! Mimashi: Fufufu... Sentarou Shiba. If you don't bring out the Bronze Bell soon, this woman dies. Sentarou: ...The Bronze Bell isn't where I am. Mimashi: What!? Sentarou: So, taking hostages is pointless. You won't get it that way. Hiroshi: What'd he say...!? Does Dad plan to let Vice-Minister Darlian die!? Sentarou: That's not it. Hiroshi... you go rescue the Vice-Minister. Hiroshi: I'm not taking orders from you! I'm not your machine! Sentarou: A person's life is hanging in the balance! If you don't do it, who will!? Hiroshi: Shut up! I'm sick and tired of fighting when you tell me to!! (Gunshot) Hiroshi: !? Mimashi: Unh...! Who are you!? Heero: ..... Relena: Heero!! Heero: ...don't move from there. Hiroshi: That guy, when did he...!? Mimashi: You fool, you think to challenge me, Mimashi, with that mere flesh body! And there's a hostage here too! Relena: Heero....! Heero: Trust me, Relena. Relena: ...Alright... (Two gunshots) Mimashi: Kukuku... not bad aim. But, a few bullets mean nothing to my body! Heero: ....! Mimashi: I'll rip your head off!! (Fighting sounds) Heero: Gh...!! Mimashi: Guhahaha! DIE!! Heero: ...you lose. Mimashi: What!? What do you mean by that!? Heero: In order to kill me, you released Relena... Mimashi: !! Heero: Besides which, there are other places to aim. (Three gunshots) Mimashi: GWAA! Y, you... you hit the living sections of my body!? Hiroshi: Alright, leave the rest to me!! Mimashi: !? Gai: Take this! WILL KNIFE!! (Explosion) Mimashi: GWOO--! Gai: Vice-Minister Darlian is back safe and sound!! Mimashi: Wh, why you! I won't forget this! Gai: You okay, Heero!? Heero: ...yeah. Relena: Heero... again, for me, you...! Heero: Don't worry about it. As long as there's fighting... if it's to protect you, I'll go back to that time. The time I was only a machine meant for battle. Hiroshi: ....!! Relena: Heero... Hiroshi: Y, you...!! (Enemy units appear over the city area) Mimashi: Damned humans, I won't let you keep living the way you have been! Hiroshi: !! Gai: Hiroshi, Heero! Take Vice-Minister Darlian and get out of here!! Hiroshi: Y, you plan to fight that number of them yourself!? Gai: Yeah! I'll buy time until the Alpha Numbers come out! So hurry and go!! Hiroshi: Wh, why would you go that far...!? Gai: You think I need a reason to save people!? I may have lost my real body, but... I don't recall ever losing my human heart!! Hiroshi: !! Sentarou: Hiroshi... did you hear those words just now? Humans can stake their lives on what they believe in, what they love...! It has nothing to do with your body being flesh or machine! The important part is the heart! Hiroshi: ....! (The heart...! The human heart...!!) (That's it...! My body's a machine, but I'm a human...!) (In that case, I'm...!!) UWOOOO! CHANGE CYBOOOOOORRRG!! Gai: Hiroshi!? Heero: ..... Hiroshi: Gai, Heero... Thanks to you both, my eyes have been opened...! I'd refused to see for myself that I was human... Sentarou: Hiroshi...! Hiroshi: And so, I'll use the power I was given... as Hiroshi Shiba, the human! I'll fight without ever losing my human heart!! Mimashi: Fool! All that means is you're fighting us with one more cyborg! (Explosion) Hiroshi: Heero, let me and Gai handle things here! You take Vice-Minister Darlian!! Heero: ...Acknowledged. Gai: Right!! (Combat sequence) Mimashi: Why you, pulling something impertinent like that! Hiroshi: Don't think this is the end!! Gai: Mikoto! Final Fusion!! Mikoto: Roger! Hiroshi: Michie, the Jeeg Parts!! Miwa: Okay, Hiroshi-san!! (Machines emerge) Mikoto: Final Fusion, Program DRIIIIVE!! Miwa: Jeeg Parts, SHOOOOT!! Gai: Uwoohh! FINAL! FUUUUSIIIIOOOOON!! Hiroshi: BUILD UUUUUUUUUUP!! (Transformation sequence) Mikoto: Final Fusion, completed! Mimashi: Hmph, don't think you'll win just by combining! Jeeg: ...is that all you have to say. Then, Koutetsu Jeeg and... Gai: The King of Braves Gaogaigar will... Jeeg: Smash your ambitions apart! Let's go, Gai!! Gai: YEAH!! Miwa: Hiroshi-san! You can use the new Jeeg Part, the Mach Drill now! Jeeg: Mach Drill? Sentarou: Hiroshi, the Mach Drill is still in testing phase. Furthermore, combining with it when it comes flying at high speed is extremely difficult. ...but, the way you are now, you can surely do it!! Jeeg: Sure, leave it to me!! Daimonji: All units, launch! Follow Hiroshi-kun and Gai-kun! [Launch] [COMMENCE BATTLE] [Turn 3 Player Phase, or as soon as Mimashi is attacked] (Enemy reinforcements appear) Mimashi: !? Amaso, what did you come here for!? Amaso: It should be obvious. I'm here to cover for your incompetence. Mimashi: What was that...!? Ikima: This isn't the time for arguing! Use this chance to get the Bronze Bell at all costs! [Resume battle] [Mimashi defeated] Mimashi: Wh, why you...! Even without getting the Bronze Bell...!! [Next enemy phase (If you beat Takeru with Jeeg before)] ???: Wait, General Ikima...! Ikima: ! That's!? Miwa: G, General Takeru...! Takeru: ..... Jeeg: So... he's alive! Takeru: General Ikima... Lying in ambush, using hostages, does it not shame you as a warrior...? Amaso: Silence, Takeru! We don't have any more need for one like you who's already failed! Ikima: Besides which, the one who planned this operation was our ruler, Himika-sama! Takeru: What...? Ikima: I'll tell you one other thing. The interruption of your one-on-one duel with Koutetsu Jeeg was also on Himika-sama's orders! Takeru: Impossible... Has the Jama Kingdom lost its pride and morality during its long slumber...? Amaso: Save that sleeptalking nonsense when you're asleep! Victory is everything! Ikima: Exactly! We'll choose any means necessary to achieve that! Takeru: Unforgivable... Unforgivable...! (Takeru shows up) Jeeg: H, he...!? Ikima: You dare to betray Himika-sama!? Takeru: The Jama Kingdom has already fallen... And so, I will fight to protect the surface world that my wife Miyazu loved... Miwa: General Takeru...! Jeeg: If it's you lending us a hand, that's as good as a hundred men! We're counting on you, Takeru! Takeru: I accept... [Resume battle] [Ikima defeated] Ikima: D, damn! If we had the Bronze Bell, you all would be-!! [After stage is cleared] JAMA KINGDOM MAIN HEADQUARTERS Himika: Argh, you buffoons! Making my scheme come to naught!! Ikima: I... I beg your forgiveness, Himika-sama! Himika: What do you mean by asking that when you don't know the location of the Bronze Bell!? Amaso: Th, that's... Whatever else the case is, it doesn't seem to be at the Build Base... Himika: ! Mimashi: That confidence of Sentarou Shiba's... The Bronze Bell is probably in a place other than the Build Base... moreover, a place we don't know... Amaso: Or... it could have possibly already been destroyed. Himika: That couldn't be the case. It's a very important piece of information to them... Even if its form is changed... ! So that's it...! Ikima: Is there something the matter? Himika: Fufufu... So I suppose that was it all along... Mimashi: H, Himika-sama...? Himika: Damned Sentarou Shiba, he put it right in our blind spot...! Amaso: Could you have... learned the location of the Bronze Bell!? Himika: That's right. A hidden place which is unreachable to us... in other words... BUILD BASE Hiroshi: ...inside of my body!? Sentarou: That's right, Hiroshi. A place Himika will never be able to reach... That's the interior of Koutetsu Jeeg's body. Hiroshi: So you stuck the Bronze Bell in me!? Sentarou: More precisely, I recorded the secret of the Bronze Bell in a microcapsule, and placed that in your body. Hiroshi: Y... you...!! Sentarou: I was loath to do it, but... Whatever you may say about my methods, I had no other choice but to protect the Bronze Bell's secret. Hiroshi: Secret... Just what is that!? Sentarou: The secret of the Bronze Bell... It is said to be the secret to summoning the Emperor of Hell... Miwa: The Emperor of Hell...? Sentarou: Its true form is completely unknown. But, it's said that it was once a god that ruled the Earth... Hiroshi: So that's it... The Jama Kingdom wants to summon Emperor guy to conquer the surface... Sentarou: Himika's also probably realized the Bronze Bell's location. From here on, they'll aim for you... Hiroshi: ..... Sentarou: Remember this much, Hiroshi. If you lose, they'll get the Bronze Bell's secret back. And then... the Emperor of Hell will be called forth. Hiroshi: ...I'll do it. Whether my opponent's the Jama Kingdom or whatever else, I'll fight 'em. But, don't forget! I didn't decide that because you told me to! This is my will... the will of Hiroshi Shiba, the human! Sentarou: Very well. If you say you won't forget your human heart... Hiroshi: ...let's go, Michie. The Alpha Numbers are waiting for us. Miwa: Right... (Walk off) Sentarou: ..... Kikue: Dear... Sentarou: Kikue... so you were listening. Kikue: Yes... That child... will Hiroshi be alright...? Sentarou: Hiroshi isn't the only one shouldering a heavy burden. And that one must also realize that fact... Kikue: ..... Sentarou: ...Hiroshi is certainly growing. Awakening and fighting of his own free will, Hiroshi has taken another step towards becoming a soldier. All we can do now is believe in that child. Koutetsu Jeeg will definitely do it. Kikue: Yes... Judau: Still, Hiroshi-san turning out to be a cyborg, that was surprising. Ippei: Well, I thought there might be SOMETHING more to him, but... Hyouma: So that's where the name "The Undying Hiroshi" came from. Hime: What's that? Hyouma: Ah... he was called that back when he was a racer. No matter what kind of accident he got into, he'd always come out of it alive. Judau: He~h... Banjou: Guys... It figures you're talking about Hiroshi's body. Hyouma: What's wrong with that? We don't think it's all that strange that he's a cyborg. Banjou: Consider the feelings of the person in question. It's not like he wished for it himself... it was out of his control. Hyouma: I see... Hime: ...we've been way too insensitive. (Door slide) Hiroshi: ...no need to make such a big deal out of it. Banjou: Hiroshi...! Hiroshi: I won't deny it was a shock, but... Right now, all my doubts have been pretty much cleared away. Hime: ...so it's okay? Hiroshi: Yeah. After all, if I sit there complaining, Gai will laugh at me. Besides, I never intended to make even my heart a machine. Banjou: ..... (That's right... They're different from the Megaborgs that inflate people's egos...) (For Hiroshi and Gai... they'll continue to live as people...) (Footsteps) Hiroshi: Hm? You're...! Takeru: You've done well... young one... Hiroshi: How come you came...? Miwa: General Takeru said that he wanted to cooperate with us. Hiroshi: Really...!? Takeru: Yes... As it is right now, the Jama Kingdom is stained by hatred and injustice... ...besides... the Emperor of Hell cannot be allowed to awaken... Hyouma: Just what's the Emperor of Hell? Takeru: It is said that none live who have seen its form... Even Himika-sama probably... Banjou: ..... Takeru: And also, I wish to protect the land which my wife loved more than anything... Hiroshi: If that's how it is, welcome aboard. It's good to have you with us. Miwa: It will be a pleasure to work with you from here on. Takeru: Thank you... girl who resembles my wife. Had I not encountered you, I would have committed a grave error. Ippei: Oh hoh, has a rival shown up for Hiroshi? Hiroshi: Wh, what're you talking about, Michie and I aren't like that. Judau: Wouldn't a better rival be Major Zengar? (Footsteps) Zengar: Did you call me, Judau Ashta? Judau: ! Wh, what... Major, you were here? Zengar: Hm... By some chance, is he... Takeru: You're the one from... Zengar: ..... Takeru: ..... Zengar: ...I would like to have a bout. Takeru: ...Very well... Ippei: ...I get it. So they're sword rivals. Heero: ...so you're going, Relena? Relena: Yes. Even with situations like the one that arose just now... I have no intention of casting aside my own duty. I'll continue to fight my own battle, with the belief that there must always be a path. Heero: Understood... Relena: Then... let's meet again, Heero. (Walks off) Duo: ...you okay with that? Heero: What do you mean? Duo: Wouldn't you be able to settle those excessive worries better at her side? Heero: ..... There was no need for me to save Relena then... She's made the decision to remain prepared for such things. My being at her side would only shake that resolve... Duo: ..... ...well, whatever you say, deep down it's the same reason as always. Noin: ...then, Relena-sama... Shall we go back? Relena: Yes... ???: ...Um... You are Relena Darlian-san, right? Relena: ! You are...? Erika: My name is Erika... Daimonji: What...!? You identified the Jama Kingdom's main base? Sakon: Yes, Vice-Minister Darlian was carrying a transciever for emergency use. Just, the readings disappeared en route... Volfogg: But following the route data and verifying it against our results up until now... There is a 91.4% probability that their main base is beneath Mount Aso... at Point CK3224, I believe. Leo: Mm-hmm... Finally over 90%, huh. We haven't been able to confirm their location because of some kind of barrier in place, but with this... (Beeping sound) Midori: Professor Daimonji! It's an emergency transmission from the Far East Base! Daimonji: Emergency transmission...? Miwa: Miwa here! The Alpha Numbers are to scramble to Osaka immediately!! Daimonji: What happened? Miwa: The main force of the Dinosaur Empire has shown up and begun attacking!! All of you get to Osaka immediately!! Daimonji: !! Pete: The Dinosaur Empire's main army!? Miwa: That's right! They're using their initiative to wreak havoc!! Sakon: By their main force, you don't mean...! Miwa: A mobile fortress which we believe to be their main base appeared right in the middle of the downtown area! This is because all of you refused my orders and continued going wherever you pleased! The Alpha Numbers are to head for Osaka and wipe out the Dinosaur Empire! RIGHT NOW, ON THE DOUBLE!! [EYECATCH]
