SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 46 ***STAGE 46*** IN TRANSIT Daimonji: The battle between the Mycenae Empire and mankind is currently fluctuating. Synapse: I suppose if they control roughly a seventh of the Earth's surface, the situation has improved from what it was... Daimonji: Yes. The guerilla forces across the world have gotten better results than we'd anticipated. Bright: But if things keep getting drawn out, it will just give Neo Zeon more time up in space. Vera: Then, should you head straight for space now? Bright: No... Between the Dokuuga, Zondar, and Meganoids, we can't leave the Earth as it is... Right now, what we must do is deal with at least one of the current threats to the planet. Leo: Then there's one way to do it. We'll have to take out the source of the enemy threats. Daimonji: Regarding that, we've found some reliable information about the Mycenae base of operations. Synapse: What...? Daimonji: Yes... By fighting Duke Gorgon, the Mycenae ruler, Yami no Teiou... We've concluded that he must be the Emperor of Hell, as inscribed in Jama Kingdom writings... Leo: Hmm... For the one who leads Ankoku Daishogun and the Mycenae armies, that's an appropriate name. Daimonji: And Dr. Shiba has discovered information about the Mycenae within them. Leo: That's our Dr. Shiba! Ancient history is his specialty. Vera: Then will we be going after the Mycenae Empire now? Synapse: ...It's indeed possible that we could turn the tides back in our favor if we win, but... Even with their forces split into five groups, the Mycenae main base should still have a lot of firepower. Leo: So you're saying the risks may outweigh the benefits...? Synapse: Mm-hmm... We still haven't seen the true form of their leader, Yami no Teiou, either. Vera: ..... Daimonji: ..... Synapse: Perhaps it might be better to return to Japan for the time being... ...Actually, we've gotten a recall order from General Miwa... Vera: General Miwa? Daimonji: I'd heard all the major leaders of the Earth Federation had gathered in Japan to escape the ravages of war... Synapse: Mm-hmm... I hear that currently, there's a military conference planned soon in Tokyo. Bright: What did you say...!? I'd heard nothing about such a major meeting...! Synapse: Of course not. It's a meeting in name only, so General Miwa can gather his own supporters... It's just to raise his own reckless and unfounded opinions. Leo: So the reason he's summoning us is to act as his own pawns... Synapse: In theory, Dr. Gou and the others should be attending to try and keep him in check, but... Vera: Still, it might be necessary to return to Japan for information gathering as well. Bright: Head for Japan, or head for the Mycenae's central headquarters... Synapse: ..... CHOICE 1: Head for Japan CHOICE 2: Head for the Mycenae Empire (I'm taking the Mycenae route for the purposes of this script.) [CHOICE 2] Synapse: We can't deny the fact that if this battle gets any further drawn out, it will leave mankind at a disadvantage... Bright: So, take the plunge and finish things up with the Mycenae Empire? Synapse: Mm-hmm... There are dangers, but we'll have to rise to the challenge if we want to turn things around. Daimonji: Roger that. I'll get Dr. Shiba on the line. Senjirou: ...According to my data, the main base of the Mycenae Empire should be around this point. Sakon: A volcanic island in the middle of the ocean, huh... Under normal circumstances, people wouldn't get anywhere near it. Hiroshi: My arm's gettin' rusty. So now we go after the main mole head, huh? Daimonji: But we should expect a much fiercer fight from them than we've gotten up to this point. Tetsuya: And we still don't know everything Yami no Teiou can do. Miwa: The Emperor of Hell that Himika spoke of, right...? Daimonji: Dr. Kabuto, Dr. Shiba... have you managed to find anything out about Yami no Teiou? Kenzou: Unfortunately, beyond the writings, well... We just have to assume the worst. Daimonji: I see... Hiroshi: Either way, we've gotta fight. We owe the Mycenae a lot, after all. Just wait, Dad. I'll come back with news of our victory. Senjirou: I'm counting on you, Hiroshi. If you can't defeat the Mycenae, the world will get thrown into even more chaos. Kenzou: Putting a full stop to this battle will be your jobs... Kouji, Tetsuya. Tetsuya: I know, Chief. Kouji: Leave it to us, Dad...! Daimonji: Alright...! Then the Alpha Numbers will hereby head for the Mycenae headquarters! MYCENAE EMPIRE MAIN HEADQUARTERS Yami no Teiou: How goes the battle, Minister Argos? Argos: The remaining four out of the seven armies have encountered pockets of human resistance throughout Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Yami no Teiou: Then send out this directive to every general. Give your top priority to destroying all the humans on the surface. According to the situation, I will send out the reserves being kept here for support, namely Ulycaeser, Birdler, and Hadias. Argos: Your worries are most likely unfounded. When the Mycenae forces get serious, there is nothing for them to fear. Yami no Teiou: However, we cannot afford to let down our guard with the Alpha Numbers, who defeated Ankoku Daishogun, still around. Without defeating them, we will never be able to establish Japan as our second headquarters. Argos... Where are they right now? Argos: Actually, sir... They seem to be headed this way. Yami no Teiou: Hoh... So the Alpha Numbers are seperated from Japan... Fufufu... In that case, Argos. Advance our plans by one step. Argos: ! Then, here...? Yami no Teiou: That's right. We'll lure the Alpha Numbers to this place. You can use those Jama Kingdom people for bait. Argos: Yes sir, it shall be done. Yami no Teiou: Fufufu... I want to see the surprise on their faces with my own eyes. Come, Alpha Numbers... Your final moment draws near... EPISODE 46: CHARGE! MYCENAE EMPIRE (PART 1) Ikima: Warriors of the Jama Kingdom! We shall destroy Koutetsu Jeeg and his ilk without fail, and avenge Himika-sama!! Amaso: Himika-sama, lend us your strength!! Mimashi: Give us the power to overthrow those despicable humans! Haniwa Genjin: Ikima-sama, the enemy has come! It's the Alpha Numbers! Ikima: Alright... All forces, prepare for attack! [LAUNCH] Ryouma: So this volcanic island is the entrance to the Mycenae Empire's headquarters...! Hayato: And the island has its own defenses. Kouji: If they want some of this, I'll take 'em on to the end! Jeeg: Exactly! We'll send those Jama Kingdom losers packing! Banjou: It's dangerous to charge in blindly. As you can see, the whole island is like a fortress. Kou: And if the battle gets drawn out too long, they could get reinforcements from the mainland... Kincaid: And gather support from all across the world here, huh... If that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance... Tetsuya: But we've got the hopes of people across the globe pinned on us. We can't back out now. Shingo: ...You sure like to set things in stone. Killy: If we're damned if we do, and damned if we don't, we may as well go on. Remy: Hold on, you're talking like we'd die! Killy: Okay then... We'll go to Heaven if we do, and Hell if we don't, how's that? Kouji: In the end, isn't that where we'd end up? Daimonji: Everyone, we have brethren all over the world fighting against the Mycenae for the sake of peace and justice. In order to ensure their victory, we need to destroy the Mycenae headquarters. Listen, the scope of this battle will be 8 minutes... Fighting any longer than that would just ensure our failure. All units, commence attack! Destroy all the defenses on the volcanic island base within 8 minutes!! Zengar (...Sophia... Could you be here...?) [COMMENCE BATTLE] [Turn 1 Enemy Phase] Midori: Giant missiles have been launched from the enemy base! Sakon: Just what one wouuld expect of an enemy's headquarters. They've made plenty of preparations for this, it seems. Jeeg: This is no time for admiration! If one of those giant things hits, we won't be able to take it lying down! Daimonji: All units, destroy the interception squads, and attack the missile firing platforms! Kazuya: Roger! If it comes down to it, we'll break through by force! [Jeeg vs any main general] Ikima: Koutetsu Jeeg! Because of you... Because of you, Himika-sama is dead! Jeeg: What're you talking about!? You're the ones who started this fight! Mimashi: Silence! Japan originally belonged to the Jama Kingdom! Amaso: But today is the end of the line for you human geniuses! We'll defeat you here, and be given Japan by Yami no Teiou! Jeeg: Oh really!? If you wanna settle things, I'll take you on...! I'll show you what humans... and what Koutetsu Jeeg can do! [All firing platforms destroyed] Burning: Alright... Now they can't fire any missiles! Monsha: All that's left is to clear out the trash! Let's get 'em in one shot, Lt. Burning! [Stage cleared] Jeeg: Alright! We've broken through the first line of defenses!! (Transmission sound) Jigoku Daigensui: Fufufu... Not bad, Alpha Numbers... Appropriate skill for my arch-nemesis. As a token of my esteem, allow me to escort you to the final battlefield underground. Kouji: Final battlefield!? Jigoku Daigensui: That's right. The place you've been searching for, the main Mycenae base... There, you shall meet terror and despair at my hands... and death as well. (End transmission) Michiru: He's gone! Hayato: Heh, making their main base the final battleground... They must be brimming with confidence. Kouji: Heh, we won't falter from an attitude like that! Retzel: But, they have the advantage below. Don't let down your guard. Plus... Beyond inviting us into their own domain, be on the lookout, they could have another scheme cooked up. Zengar: If so, we must slash through that scheme...! All those who have fallen to the Mycenae, and for Kukuru, whom they used... I'll ensure their spirits rest in peace with my Zankantou...! Retzel: ...You sure about that? Dr. Nate might be here. Zengar: ..... ...If we don't strike them down here, many others will suffer... Right now I... am not a sword that protects only her...! ...Dr. Nate would understand my intentions. Retzel: ...Very well. Kouji: Alright! Let's go, guys!! Gai: Yeah!! Tetsuya: Jigoku Daigensui...! I'll show you the real Hell...! Argos: ...Yami no Teiou-sama, the Alpha Numbers have entered the underground caverns. Yami no Teiou: ...You know what to do, Argos. Argos: Yes sir, everything is ready... [EYECATCH]
