SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***STAGE 41*** MYCENAE EMPIRE CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS Yami no Teiou: Minister Argos, how goes the battle? Argos: Sire... The all-out blitzkrieg attack you ordered has been a great success. Soon, humankind will be nothing more than ashes in the breeze, after our seven generals and their armies throughout the world are done with them. Yami no Teiou: I see... Well done. However, the wine of victory shouldn't be poured until after the surface is completely conquered. Argos: But the humans, with the state of utter mayhem that they're in, no longer pose any sort of serious threat. If you so desire, we can wipe out all of the humans who fled to space as well. Yami no Teiou: The humans who crashed an asteroid into the Earth... Foolish beings... To deliberately injure this planet themselves... Argos: As you say, Sire. There are no others better suited to rule the surface than ourselves. Yami no Teiou: ...And what of Ankoku Daishogun? Argos: He has taken command of the final phase of Operation Japanese Conquest. Yami no Teiou: Fufufu... How very like him, to settle things in person. I sent my final trump card to Japan, but it seems there was no cause for worry. Argos: Your trump card, you say? Yami no Teiou: Fufufu... Ah well. Let us wait for Ankoku Daishogun's report first... Fuhahahahahaha! FORTIFIED RESEARCH INSTITUTE Kenzou: Chief Oori, you're alright! Oori: Dr. Kabuto... It pains me to say, but the Build Base has fallen to the Mycenae. Kenzou: And Dr. Shiba? Oori: The Machine Father is in a suspended state. Hopefully, it should be enough to fool the enemy. Kenzou: First the Daikumaryu Base, then the New Saotome Labs, the Photonic Labs... and now, the Build Base... Oori: I don't think it would be much of an exaggeration to say that now, the Mycenae have control of the western half of Japan... Kenzou: Yes... And the Federation probably can't do much to fight the Mycenae with their chain of command thrown into chaos. Oori: Plus, I hear Professor Yumi and Dr. Saotome have gone missing... Kenzou: Yes... All of those labs' staff have been evacuated here, but those two... Shiro: Dad... what's gonna happen to us? Kenzou: Shiro... Shiro: The asteroid crashing, the Mycenae running loose all over the world... Is this the end of the world...? Oori: ..... Kikue: ..... Mayumi: It'll be OK, Shiro-niichan! Koutetsu Jeeg and the Alpha Numbers are gonna come save us, for sure! Shiro: But, Bro and Tetsuya-san and everyone else are supposed to be missing... Kikue: (Hiroshi... Miwa-san... I wonder if you're okay...) Kenzou: Shiro, we can't abandon hope now. Kouji and Tetsuya must be alive. Shiro: But... Kenzou: We can't give in to evil. If they aren't here, we'll have to fight. There is meaning to the phrase, "Peace is something each and every one of us must seize for themselves." Shiro: ..... ...okay, Dad. If they saw me crying at a time like this, Bro and Tetsuya would laugh at me. Kenzou: That's the spirit, Shiro. As long as each and every one of us doesn't give up, we'll find a way out of this for certain... (Alarm siren) Oori: Dr. Kabuto! An army of Battle Beasts is closing in! Shiro: Dad...! Kenzou: ...Shiro, take shelter underground with Mayumi-chan and the others. Shiro: No way! I'm gonna fight together with you, Dad! Kenzou: You've still got a long way to go before it's time for you to fight. Let me handle this. Shiro: Dad... Kenzou: Kikue-san, Chief Oori and I will deal with the Battle Beasts. Take care of the children. Kikue: A... alright. Kenzou: (Kouji, Tetsuya... I believe you're both alive...) (So, until you return, I'll handle fighting the Mycenae.) EPISODE 41: TERROR! OPERATION JAPANESE CONQUEST!! - PART ONE Kenzou: Enemy Battle Beast Army, closing in on the lab! All personnel assume battle stations and prepare for interception! If the Fortified Research Institute falls, the Big Falcon will become the enemy's next target. We must stop the enemy here, no matter what the cost! Oori: Dr. Kabuto! Incoming! (Enemy units appear) Oori: Th... they have Haniwa Genjin and Mechasauruses as well! Kenzou: So, the Mycenae Empire took in the remnants of the Jama Kingdom and Dinosaur Empire... Ankoku Daishogun: Do you hear me, Kenzou Kabuto!? I am Ankoku Daishogun! The head of the Seven Armies of the Mycenae Empire, servant to Yami no Teiou! Kenzou: Yami no Teiou...!? So that's the ruler of the Mycenae...! Ankoku Daishogun: Up until now, you and Tetsuya Tsurugi's Great Mazinger have been the bane of our existence. But now that the Alpha Numbers are gone, you humans don't have the strength left to resist us. Admit defeat and surrender! Kenzou: Ankoku Daishogun! We shall never give in to the power of evil! Even without the Alpha Numbers here, as long as there are justice and peace- loving hearts with us, we won't surrender to you! Ankoku Daishogun: ...Well spoken. And that makes my coming out here personally all the more worthwhile! Kenzou Kabuto! If you're prepared, then I'll send you to Hell along with that pride of yours! Kenzou: Fortified Research Institute, commence interception! Launch the Photon Missiles! (Missiles launch, get taken down) Yuriceasar: Too easy! Oori: Aah! The missiles! Yuriceasar: I am the Superhuman General Yuriceasar! Leader of the Superhuman Battle Beast Army! I'll slice down any advances you try to make! Gorgon: Ikima, all of you will pay us back for saving you here. Ikima: I know. I'll clear away Himika-sama's grudge, along with mankind! (Explosions rock the lab) Oori: Wh... what do we do, Dr. Kabuto!? Kenzou: ...I hate to say it, but without the Thunder Beam Rocket complete, there isn't much we can do at the moment... Oori: B-but then...! Kenzou: Chief Oori... gather Shiro and the rest of the personnel who took shelter here, and get ready to evacuate... Oori: D-Dr. Kabuto, what are you going to do? Kenzou: There's no time to explain! Please, hurry! Oori: R... Right...! Gorgon: What's wrong, Kenzou Kabuto! Is that all the resistance you can show!? Yuriceasar: End of the line! Prepare yourself, Kenzou Kabuto! Kenzou: (Kouji, Shiro, Tetsuya, Jun... It looks like I'm going to leave you all as orphans again...) (There's no help for me now. All of you band your strength together and live...) Fortified Research Institute... Control Tower, seperate! (Control tower lifts off) Ankoku Daishogun: What do you plan to do, Dr. Kabuto!? Shiro: DAD!! Kenzou: I, too, am a warrior who protects peace! Even if it costs me my life, I will do all I can to defeat you! Oori: D... Dr. Kabuto! You can't seriously be thinking of ramming them with that thing!? Kenzou: Farewell, my children... ???: WAIT!! (Control tower stalls) [Launch] Gorgon: Wh... why, that's...!? Yuriceasar: The Alpha Numbers! Shiro: Bro! It's really you guys, isn't it! Kenzou: You're... you're alive! Kouji: Dad, Shiro! We're fine! Tetsuya: With us here, we won't let the Mycenae take another step! Jeeg: That's right! Now you can just sit back and watch the show! Oori: Oh! Hiroshi-kun and Utsugi-kun! Kenzou: Thank God you've both returned, Kouji, Tetsuya. Tetsuya: Of course, Chief. We're not gonna let ourselves fall before we win peace back. Jun: Chief, please evacuate. We'll handle the fighting now. Kouji: Please, Dad! You don't need to do anything reckless! Oori: Dr. Kabuto...! Kenzou: Thanks... The rest is up to you, Alpha Numbers! (Control tower lands) Ankoku Daishogun: So you were still alive after all, Tetsuya Tsurugi, Kouji Kabuto! Tetsuya: Ankoku Daishogun....! Tobia: That's...? Ryouma: That man is Ankoku Daishogun, a general of the Mycenae Empire, as well as their supreme commander on the front lines. Hayato: His power is enormous, his soul is valiant... I'd say he was among the toughest of the enemies we faced in the Balmar War. Tetsuya: Ankoku Daishogun! Looks like you've been putting on quite the show while we've been out! Kouji: But here's where we put a stop to your Operation Japanese Conquest! Ankoku Daishogun: Just the courage I've come to respect. That's what makes you my most worthy of opponents. Tetsuya: Don't think you'll come out of this alive just because you've made it this far! This is where it ends, once and for all! Ankoku Daishogun: I would have it no other way! I wouldn't consider the conquest of Japan successful without defeating all of you first! I'll deliver the report of victory to Yami no Teiou, with your heads as proof! Kenichi: These past 10 days, we've seen the depths of Hell and despair... Hyouma: Don't underestimate us after we clawed our way back out of that! Ryouma: Ankoku Daishogun! We'll never give the surface over to you all, or the devil you woke from the depths of the Earth! Banjou: The sun exists for the righteous! And it is with us! Ankoku Daishogun: Alpha Numbers! This will determine once and for all which one of us has the right to claim the sun! Tetsuya: Let's go, Mycenae Empire! I'll show you what humans are capable of! [Commence battle] [Tetsuya vs Yuriceasar] Yuriceasar: Ankoku Daishogun won't have to lift a finger! I'll be your opponent! Tetsuya: Superhuman General Yuriceasar! For an opponent, you don't lack for much! [Jeeg vs Ikima] Ikima: Curse you, Koutetsu Jeeg! If not for you, Himika-sama would be...! Jeeg: This is to avenge Himika!? Sorry, but you won't take me down that easily! I've got a huge enough job as it is reclaiming the surface! [Yuriceasar defeated] Yuriceasar: Accursed humans...! Ankoku Daishogun: Yuriceasar, fall back! Yuriceasar: But, Ankoku Daishogun... Ankoku Daishogun: There are still things left that you must do! Let me handle this! Yuriceasar: I offer no excuses...! (Retreat) [When Yuriceasar is defeated, or enough enemies are destroyed] Ankoku Daishogun: Just what I'd expect, Alpha Numbers. If it comes down to this, I have no choice but to face you directly, man to man. Gorgon: Hold on, Ankoku Daishogun! The battle is just heating up. Ankoku Daishogun: Gorgon... The warrior's blood that flows within me can no longer be held back...! (Ankoku Daishogun appears) Tetsuya: So you showed up, Ankoku Daishogun! Ankoku Daishogun: Humans...! I commend you for forcing my hand personally on the battlefield. But this I declare here and now! By my name as a general and by this sword, I shall defeat you all! Kyoshiro: That's the top general for you... This conviction... isn't the kind of thing you see every day. Kouji: I knew that whatever happened, we'd end up fighting in this time again... I've been ready for this! Tetsuya: Yeah! This is where all scores will be settled! Ankoku Daishogun: Don't get overconfident, humans! I, Ankoku Daishogun, make this stand here to win! Rise, Mycenae warriors! Wipe the humans out for Yami no Teiou and the Mycenae people! (All Mycenae get a morale boost) Tetsuya: Let's go, Ankoku Daishogun! We'll see whether your pride or our readiness will come out on top! Ankoku Daishogun: Come, Tetsuya Tsurugi! The surface is ours! (Resume combat) [Ankoku Daishogun vs Tetsuya] Ankoku Daishogun: Tetsuya Tsurugi! Our ties shall be severed today! Tetsuya: Everything I've done has been to defeat the Mycenae...! This battle is my destiny! Ankoku Daishogun: I see, a fated battle...! But there can be only one victor... And that victor will be me, Ankoku Daishogun! Tetsuya: You can try! I can't afford to die until after the day peace returns! [Ankoku Daishogun vs Ryouma] Ankoku Daishogun: Getter Robo! The Mycenae Empire shall lay King Gore and the Dinosaur Empire's regrets to rest! Ryouma: You think we'd let you!? Even if most of the Earth falls into your hands, we'll keep fighting...! In the end, it's the drive to never give up that always gives us hope! [Ankoku Daishogun vs Kouji] Kouji: Ankoku Daishogun! It's finally payback time! Ankoku Daishogun: Heh... Is this about that attack on the Photon Labs way back then? You certainly know how to hold a grudge. Kouji: Shut up! I'll pay you back for that with interest! [Gorgon vs Tetsuya] Tetsuya: Up to the same tricks as always, huh, Gorgon! Gathering the remnants of the Jama Kingdom and Dinosaur Empire and assembling a fighting force out of them!? Gorgon: What are you complaining about, Tetsuya Tsurugi!? The victor takes all the spoils of the losers, that's how this world works! You humans will eventually share the same fate! Tetsuya: Like that'll ever happen! As long as we're around, we'll keep crushing your ambitions! [Gorgon vs Kouji] Kouji: Hey, Gorgon! I heard you attacked the Photonic Labs while we were gone! Gorgon: It wasn't me who did that. But, this is a good chance... I'll defeat you here and send you to meet Yumi in Hell! Kouji: Shut up, you honorless vulture! He'd never give in to cowards like you! [Ankoku Daishogun defeated] Ankoku Daishogun: Cough...! Alpha Numbers... Don't think you've won... Tetsuya: What!? Ankoku Daishogun: Even if I die, the Mycenae will not perish... One will certainly succeed me to lead the Seven Generals and reclaim the surface... Tetsuya: Ankoku Daishogun... Ankoku Daishogun: All I need now is a Hero's Song, to let me endure the torments of Hell!! Ankoku Daishogun: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... hoh... ugh... GWAAAAAAH! (Explodes) Tetsuya: Ankoku Daishogun... Though the path you walked was different from mine, you were truly a valiant general... Gorgon: I... Impossible...! They got Ankoku Daishogun... Fall back! Retreat! Kouji: Heh! You should've done that the day before yesterday! ???: Wait, Gorgon! There is no need for retreat! Sanshiro: Who's that!? Sayaka: Th... That voice...!? Boss: What the...? I've heard that somewhere before...! Kouji: That voice, it couldn't be...! (Enemy appears) Gorgon: The Invincible Fortress Demonica!? Who's controlling it!? ???: It's been a while, Gorgon. And Kouji Kabuto as well... Kouji: There's no mistaking it... That voice...! You're Dr. Hell!? ???: That's right, Kouji Kabuto. But the name Hell is a relic of the past... Jigoku Daigensui: Now I am called Jigoku Daigensui. A devoted servant to Yami no Teiou, the ruler of the Mycenae Empire. Kouji: Did that bastard revive you from Hell!? Jigoku Daigensui: Exactly... I did fall that day when we fought... But, I was bestowed a new life and body by Yami no Teiou! Gorgon: (I... I know my Intelligence Division recovered his corpse, but...) (I wasn't expecting for it to be made into a Battle Beast...!) Jigoku Daigensui: My name is Jigoku Daigensui! A monster of destruction brought back from the depths of Hell to annihilate you all! Boss: H... He sure can hold a grudge... Camille: What tremendous pressure... And anger, and torment... Judau: That guy... It looks like he threw away his heart along with his human body...! Kouji: Quiet, Dr. Hell! Or rather, Jigoku Daigensui! It suits me just fine that you've joined the Mycenae! Now I can take you out right along with them! Hayato: Heh... That's a fine introduction you gave, but coming out here all by yourself in one machine is virtual suicide. Ryouma: Let's go, guys! We'll take that ship on all at once! Kouji: Get ready, Jigoku Daigensui! This time I'll send you so far down into Hell, you won't be able to escape! Jigoku Daigensui: Fufufu... You really think I came out here without any advance preparations? Come out, Demon Gods! (MazinKaiser and Shin Getter appear) Ryouma: Shin Getter!? Kouji: MazinKaiser!? Jigoku Daigensui: Fufufu... I took these two from the Photonic Laboratory and the Jin Heavy Industries Getter Ray Research Laboratory. Hayato: (From my dad's company labs...!?) Jigoku Daigensui: I wonder if you can stand a chance against the two known as the ultimate Demon Gods, Alpha Numbers? Kouji: Heh! You're missing a key point, Jigoku Daigensui! Jigoku Daigensui: What...? Tetsuya: Jigoku Daigensui...! It looks like you haven't advanced much from how you did things back then. Ryouma: Our machines' power comes from us piloting them...! Kouji: Yeah! You forgot the most imporant part!! Jigoku Daigensui: Fufufu... Fuhahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sanshiro: Wh... what's with him...!? Kouji: Hey, what's so funny!? Jigoku Daigensui: I see... What you say is correct. Kouji: Okay, then hand over Kaiser and Shin Getter and surrender right now! Jigoku Daigensui: Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, Kouji Kabuto. Though they're inferior to you, I collected pilots especially for the Demon Gods. Have a good look inside the cockpit! Kouji: What...! Prof. Yumi: U... ugh... Sayaka... Sayaka: Father!? Saotome: Run... Michiru... Michiru: Father! What are you doing in Shin Getter!? Ryouma: Dr. Saotome and Prof. Yumi...! They got captured by the Mycenae!? Jigoku Daigensui: Fuhahahahaha! How about it? Don't they just make splendid pilots!? Of course, while I call them pilots, they can't actually control the machines. Not with their hands and feet bound... Kouji: Jigoku Daigensui... You son of a...! Hayato: Tch! We can't attack this way! Prof. Yumi: Run for it, Kouji-kun! Saotome: Fall back and regroup for now! Don't give up, you'll get another chance to win! Jigoku Daigensui: Now then, Alpha Numbers, can you win against the Demon Gods with Yumi and Saotome inside of them? Of course, winning would mean their deaths! Ryouma: What a cowardly stunt...! Jigoku Daigensui: FUHAHAHA! Lamentation! Anger! Suffering! That's what I want you to feel! Tetsuya: Damn...! Jigoku Daigensui: Go forth, Demon Gods! Overwhelm them with your power! (Both begin to advance) Kenzou: ...Everyone, pull back from here. Tetsuya: Chief...! Kenzou: ...Stay calm. Even if we fought with all we had here, we wouldn't win. Besides which, we can't save the two professors as it is right now. Jun: But if we retreat, the Fortified Research Institute would be...! Kenzou: Even if the lab is destroyed, we can still make a stand! But we can't say the same for a person's life! Kouji: Dad... Ryouma: Looks like... we have no choice... (Everyone retreats) Jigoku Daigensui: Fufufu... So they retreated... That's fine. Beating them so easily wouldn't be entertaining at all. They should be shown a nice, long glimpse of Hell first... Fuhahahaha! FUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Gorgon: (Jigoku Daigensui... Even on our side, he's a frightening man...) MYCENAE EMPIRE CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS Hadias: I didn't believe the reports, so I returned from the front in Europe... Birdler: Yuriceasar... Isn't there some kind of mistake here!? Hadias: Ankoku Daishogun is the one that holds we Seven Generals together... For him... For him to be defeated... Yuriceasar: I'm sorry... Hadias, Birdler... To lose Ankoku Daishogun right while I was there... Argos: ..... Yami no Teiou: ...Yuriceasar... Did Ankoku Daishogun fight to his very last breath...? Yuriceasar: ...Yes, sire... He fell proudly, as a warrior... Yami no Teiou: Then that is well... Falling on the battlefield is the greatest honor that could be afforded to him... Yami no Teiou: Ankoku Daishogun... Your death will not be in vain... Birdler: Yami no Teiou! I, Avian General Birdler, vow to avenge him! Hadias: No! I, Spirit General Hadias, shall undertake that task! Jigoku Daigensui: Generals. Allow me to handle that duty. Hadias: Who dares? Jigoku Daigensui: My name is Jigoku Daigensui, a wayward soul brought back with Yami no Teiou's power. Birdler: Jigoku Daigensui!? Argos: Could this be the trump card your Unholiness mentioned...? Yami no Teiou: Exactly, Minister Argos. Yuriceasar, Hadias, Birdler... This man, Jigoku Daigensui, will fill Ankoku Daishogun's former position. Jigoku Daigensui: Seven Generals, my life was bestowed unto me by Yami no Teiou himself. I expect you to do as I say from now on. Yuriceasar: ...Understood. If that is Yami no Teiou's decision, then we have no objections. Yami no Teiou: Jigoku Daigensui... I entrust the avenging of Ankoku Daishogun to you. Jigoku Daigensui: You honor me. I shall use the power you gave me to spill the blood of all those human pests. Gorgon: ..... Yami no Teiou: Gorgon, do you have some doubt regarding my decision? Gorgon: N-no, Sire... Jigoku Daigensui: Yami no Teiou... Duke Gorgon is an old acquaintance of mine. I would like to appoint him as my second in command, if I may. Yami no Teiou: Minister Argos, what do you say as Gorgon's commander? Argos: I have no objections. There would be no better role for Gorgon than one avenging Ankoku Daishogun's death. Jigoku Daigensui: Then I shall count on you, Duke Gorgon. Once again, you will assist me. Gorgon: ...Very well. Jigoku Daigensui: Yami no Teiou... The Alpha Numbers have retreated to the Big Falcon, their last line of defense in Japan. If we take that place, all of Japan will fall, and Operation Japanese Conquest will be truly complete. Yami no Teiou: Mm-hmm... Then use the Demon Gods once more, and wipe out the Alpha Numbers completely this time. Then we shall allay our grief by giving their heads as an offering to Ankoku Daishogun's memory. Jigoku Daigensui: Yes, sire...! I, Jigoku Daigensui, shall fulfill your wishes! [EYECATCH]
