SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 27 ***STAGE 27*** PACIFIC OCEAN, UNDERWATER FORTRESS Desmond: I am General Desmond of Planet Zera's Dark Horror Army... Lord of the East. Dankel: I'm Professor Dankel, same, Lord of the South. Asimov: I'm General Asimov, Lord of the West. Killer: General Killer... Lord of the North. Together, we are the Four Dark Heavenly Kings. Richter: Bharm, Boazan, Zera... The right to executive command over these 3 planets' joint military has been entrusted to myself... For what purpose did you come to this fortress without notifying me? Killer: That's a rather severe way to talk. Desmond: Really. We came as reinforcements commissioned by Exalted Ruler Olban himself. Richter: What...!? The Exalted Ruler!? Asimov: Exactly. To help the delay-plagued Earth invasion along. Dankel: And we're not the only ones who came here either. Desmond: Yes... A new commander-in-chief was brought. Barbas: Wh, what's this!? Richter: A new commander-in-chief, you said!? (Footsteps approach) Aizam: ...it's been a long time, Richter. Richter: Aizam...! So you're the new commander-in-chief of the Earth invasion!? Aizam: That's right. Liza: Sir Aizam, he's Planet Bharm's greatest scientist... Aizam: It's just as you heard, Richter. Your position as commander-in-chief has been revoked. From today onward, you work under my jurisdiction. Richter: Aizam, why you...! Aizam: Do you object? Richter: Of course I do! Even if you say it's Exalted Ruler Leon's orders, my pride is more important to me than my life! Aizam! If you want this underwater fortress, you'll have to fight me for it! Belgan: Please, one moment. If you refuse Sir Aizam's order, won't you be defying his Excellency? Richter: I don't care if it comes straight from Exalted Ruler Olban himself, there are some things I simply won't hear of! I swore a pledge to conquer the Earth for the sake of the 1 billion Bharmian citizens! Losing the position of commander-in-chief would destroy all meaning in that endeavor...! If it has to be that way, I would sooner choose death! Aizam: (...you haven't changed, Richter.) Liza: Richter-sama... Richter: Now then, Aizam! Draw your sword! If you want to sit in the commander's seat aboard this underwater fortress, you'll have to best me first! Aizam: Richter, you can rest easy, as you were before... Richter: What...!? Aizam: Richter, kill me. Tell Exalted Ruler Olban I died in an accident upon arrival on the Earth. Richter: Died in an accident!? Aizam: If I die as the new commander-in-chief, there would be no one but you to take up the position. Richter: Aizam... You... Are you saying you'd die for my sake...!? Aizam: Exalted Ruler Olban... he said, if you seemed defiant, to kill you... Richter: ! Just how does his Excellency view my loyalty!? Aizam: Do you think I can do that...? Do you really think I can kill my own friend, Richter...? Richter: Aizam... Aizam: Richter... You are my one and only irreplaceable friend... For you, and for the Bharmian citizens, I would lay down my life. Richter: Then, Aizam... Could you lend a hand to my battle? Aizam: Of course. It's just for that purpose I've been developing a new weapon. Liza: Richter-sama... Sir Aizam... Belgan: Ohh... Such a beautiful friendship... I, Belgan, am touched... Aizam: ...you're General Do Belgan of Boazan, correct? Belgan: Yes. As a reward of the friendship between the two of you, I shall lend you a newly developed secret weapon of my own. Aizam: ..... Richter: Aizam... I will challenge the Alpha Numbers to a major decisive battle, and win back my soiled name. Aizam: I've been informed. If you win that battle, even his Excellency would have to acknowledge your power. Richter: Just watch, Alpha Numbers... and Kazuya Ryuuzaki. I've gained the support of a million allies in this man. Mark my words, the next battle will take your breath away! JAPAN COASTLINE Brain Child: ..... Kanan: ...how is it? You had some equipment added to the cockpit, I wonder if it's incompatible with you? Do you hurt...? Do you feel stiff anywhere...? Rasse: ...you've got a nice expression there. Kanan: If you plan on keeping me under surveillance, couldn't you do a better job of it? Rasse: I have no intention of the sort. It's just that I wanted to ask about the differences between these and Grandchers. Kanan: If you put it that way, there are also differences between these twin Brains and your other Brains. Rasse: What's the difference? Kanan: They're much more sensitive. That's why I'm here, to help this one get more accustomed. Rasse: It's not because your young lover is here? Kanan: Yuu's not that kind of partner to me. Rasse: 'Scuse me. It was the image of him going to such lengths to get you to leave Orphan... GUARD DAIMOBIK Keith: Hey, Kou... We're on shore leave, so let's go somewhere and have fun. Kou: No, I want to make a backup of the Stamen's data. After that, I've gotta deliver it to Nina. Keith: I~ get it... So that data's your version of a love call. No wonder you're putting all you've got into getting it. Kou: N... No! It's not like that. Keith: As always, it's written all over your face with that reaction... Monsha: Uraki! Keith! You guys've been ordered to sortie!! Keith: Eh!? I'd heard we were on leave while we were resupplying... Monsha: It's a sortie, to a bar! You guys've gotta be our backup! Keith: Well then, I'd better meekly accept my orders... Kou: But, isn't it still daytime? Burning: Uraki, take a break when it's breaktime. If you can't change your feelings on that, you'll never be a good pilot. Bate: It's a good opportunity. I'll teach you the way a real man drinks sake, with chicks. Adel: It'd be nice if the chicks didn't act like tigers, but. Kouji: Kenta, Mamoru! If you're going to play in town, I'll take you on my bike! Mamoru: Uwa-ha! Kouji-san, you guys brought your own motorbikes! Kenta: Robots are nice too, but motorbikes are awesome! Hyouma: Darn right. Well, it's a man's romanticism. Boss: Heh heh heh, Kabutooo! Even if my robot here can't beat Mazinger, I won't be second when it comes to motorcycle riding! Kouji: Interesting...! We haven't done a race in a while, wanna go? Boss: Yeah! Wouldn't have it any other way! Nuke: Boss... since you're out on a break, you shouldn't get injured. Mucha: Yeah, yeah. What would you do if you got an injury and that face of yours got even weirder? Boss: You guys! So you're thinking from the start that I'll spill out!? Kouji: Now then, let's go, Kenta, Mamoru! Today's the perfect weather for it! Kenta: Yeah! Get 'em! OVA: You mustn't! I will absolutely not tolerate such a dangerous thing! Hyouma: Ah, don't be such a spoilsport. It's a rare holiday for us! Mamoru: Don't worry, OVA! With Kouji-san and Hyouma-san carrying us, everything will be OK! Kenta: Right! As long as the robots function alright, it'll be okay no matter what speed we go at! Kouji: C'mon, don't worry, OVA. I'm used to letting kids ride behind me. OVA: ...alright. It would be rude to refuse a special invitation from Kouji-san and Hyouma-san, after all... Then, allow me to accompany you. Kenta: Eh-!? OVA: Ah... Don't worry about carrying me. I'm equipped with flight functionality just for times like this. Hyouma: Hey... always the educational one, OVA-san... Hiroshi: Then, Michie... let's go to town too. There are some car parts I want to check out. Miwa: Yes, alright. Tetsuya: I can't let you do that. Hiroshi, you've still got training left to do. Hiroshi: Wh, what!? Training!? Tetsuya: Yeah. There was a food menu delivered by Dr. Shiba too. Hiroshi: Geez, that dad... always with the meddling. Why just me... Tetsuya: Don't complain. I'll keep you company. Jun: You'd better be ready. Tetsuya's training is rather thorough. Even for you, Hiroshi, it could raise quite a stir. Miwa: Then I'll be heading to town with Jun-san. Hang in there. Hiroshi: Che... I'd almost rather be sortied than this... Zengar: ..... Irui: ..... Hime: Um... How is Irui's coffee, Zengar-san? Zengar: ..... Nana: Irui-chan was so eager to make some for you to drink. Zengar: ...mm-hmm... Indeed, this time it's black. Gh! Hime: Gh? (Thud) Hime: Zengar-san!? Irui: !! Nana: H, he collapsed! Hime: What did you put in that coffee!? Irui: Th... The drink Ropet has in its stomach... Nana: Isn't that... Dr. Yotsuya's sake? Hime: B, but... For him to collapse from drinking sake... Nana: So, Zengar-san's really a complete nonalcoholic? Irui: Nonalcoholic...? Hime: When someone doesn't drink sake at all. Irui: Eeh!? Aah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Umon: What's all the fuss? Hime: Zengar-san collapsed from drinking sake... Umon: What? Collapsed? There's lots you wouldn't expect from that guy... (Alarm) Nana: !? Shinichiro: To all Alpha Numbers, alien attack forces have appeared at the Big Falcon! Head there as soon as possible! Nana: That's urgent! We've got to go! Hime: What do we do about Zengar-san!? Umon: I'll drag him to the hangar, he'll be fine with some water splashed on him. Irui: S, so that... will bring him back to normal? Umon: Yeah. He might be weak to sake, but... his body's built tough. No need to worry, girlie. EPISODE 26: CRISIS OF THE FALCON'S DESTRUCTION Miwa: Damned aliens! I won't let you do what you like as long as these eyes of mine have black in them! (Explosions) Miwa: Nuwooo-!! Argh! What the hell are the Alpha Numbers doing!? (Daikumaryu shows up) Daimonji: General, sorry to have kept you waiting! Miwa: Idiot, you're late! Hurry and chase the aliens off!! Kyoshiro: Honestly... he never changes. Nana: He could have at least shown a little gratitude. Juuzou: Really. That's no way to motivate a guy. Kenichi: No, it's natural we come here! We'll protect our home from anyone who endangers it! (Enemy unit appears) Pete: A monster!? (Explosion) Daimonji: Midori-kun, what's the damage!? Midori: The hangar sustained damage, but nothing that prevents us from launching. Daimonji: Alright! All units, sortie!! [Launch] Heero: ...odd. Quatre: What's wrong? Heero: The enemy's forces are too small. Quatre: Now that you mention it, there's no mothership or command unit either... Heero: Judging from the main attack force, we're probably heading into a trap... Wufei: So their objective might not be to attack this base, but to draw us out. Tetsuya: Which means, that raid just now was... Duo: We don't have the leisure time to sit here splitting hairs, let's just hurry up and send the enemy packing!! [Commence battle] [When all enemies are defeated] Yamagatake: What, these guys're weaker than I expected. Tetsuya: No, it's still too early to relax. Yamagatake: Eh!? Tetsuya: We could already be caught in the enemy's trap. Kou: What did you say...!? (Enemy units appear) Kyoshiro: Looks like that's a pretty safe bet. Belgan: Fufufu... They've been successfully drawn out. Kenichi: That Skull Rook...! Do Belgan! Hyouma: Bastard~! What kind of scheme are you up to this time!? Belgan: Fufufu... It's about time for the effects to kick in, how do you feel? Kenichi: What!? Camille: What the...!? My body's losing strength...! Kou: Th, this's... different from that hypno-wave...! Megumi: G, getting dizzy...!! Kenichi: What's wrong!? Hiyoshi: Kenichi-niichan! Everyone's suddenly suffering from something! Daijirou: Did they get hit with poison or something!? Kenichi: You don't mean, that pre-launch attack that hit us was...! Ippei: K, Kenichi... Are you all... okay...!? Kenichi: Y, yeah...! Belgan: Fufufu... How do you like this taste of the Boazanelia germ? Kenichi: Boazanelia germ!? Belgan: Correct. Your comrades are coming down with a disease native to Boazan. We Boazanians have a naturally developed immunity to it, but humans of other planets don't enjoy that luxury. Kenichi: Th, then... That's why Daijirou, Hiyoshi and I are okay...! Belgan: Indeed. The blood of Boazan flows through the three of you. Now then, can you fight us in that condition, Alpha Numbers? Daijirou: It's always some underhanded trick with you! Belgan: Say what you will. However you achieve it, victory in battle is everything. All units, commence attack! Today, we'll put a final end to them!! Daimonji: Th, this is bad...! All units, focus on defense! [Resume battle] [Belgan defeated] Belgan: Damn! Withdraw, fall back! [Barbas defeated] Barbas: Argh! If it comes to this, time to pull out! [After 2 turns pass] Miwa: What are all of you doing! Hurry and counterattack the enemy!! Barbas: Mmh... Belgan: What's wrong, General Barbas? Barbas: Hmph... This kind of strategy just doesn't agree with me. Belgan: What kind of talk is that from someone who got no results out of fighting fairly? Go on and release that thing. Barbas: ..... While the Alpha Numbers are enemies, they're still admirable fellows... I'll give them a fitting final sendoff. (Enemy appears) Barbas: Go forth, Zonekaiser! Finish them off!! Kazuya: Kh-! You think we'll get done in here!? [Resume battle] [After fighting Zonekaiser] Kenichi: What!? Our attacks aren't doing anything!? Barbas: Guhahahaha! Have you realized the potential of super-elastic alloy!? Sakon: Super-elastic alloy...!? Barbas: That's right! Developed by Sir Aizam... An alloy that absorbs every attack that hits it! In short, there's nothing any of your weapons can do to it! Zonekaiser is invincible! Kazuya: I'll smash that thing down with my fist!! Let's go, Zonekaiser! Let's see how you like my punch! (Combat sequence) Kazuya: Wh, what...!? But it was a direct hit...!! Barbas: Guhahahahahaha! Have you realized your own incapability, Daimos!? Leo: Super-elastic alloy... How to deal with it... The way to destroy flexible things would be... ! So that's it, that can be done! Daimonji: Professor Shishio...!? Leo: Dr. Daimonji, pull the Alpha Numbers back immediately! Daimonji: Withdraw!? Leo: Right, I came up with a plan to overcome the super-elastic alloy! We can deal with it later! If we don't do something about the Boazanelia germ soon, we're done for! Daimonji: U, understood...! Miwa: Y, you all! Do you plan to flee this place!? Leo: If you've got the leisure time to gripe, evacuate from the Big Falcon too! Miwa: Wh, what!? Are you saying for me to abandon the Far East Base!? Leo: If you don't get a move on, you'll abandon your life too!! Miwa: U, ungh...!! Damn, retreat!! Though I regret to say it, abandon the Big Falcon!! (Everyone retreats) Barbas: We did it... We did it! We triumphed over the Alpha Numbers! (Command ship appears) Richter: Yes! Well done, Barbas! Barbas: Not at all, it's due to Sir Aizam's Zonekaiser. Aizam: ..... Richter: Aizam, thanks to you, I have finally managed to achieve victory... There's no way I could properly express my gratitude to you. Aizam: Heh... don't be concerned, Richter. This victory is a product of our friendship. More importantly, haven't we Bharm obtained an important base of the Earthlings? Richter: Mm-hmm... just as you say. (Command ship nears Big Falcon) Richter: Exalted Ruler Olban! We have triumphed over the Earthlings! Citizens of Bharm! We will finally obtain your promised land! Soldiers! Sing loudly the songs of victory! We've won... we've triumphed! (Cheering) Richter: Hahahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahahahaha!
