Super Robot Wars OG

It is the year AD 179, the people of Earth has been living a largely
blissful life, even though 3 meteors from outer space have crashed on Earth.

Stage 1.

Elzam V Flashtein is out testing the Gesphent MkII R, however he is attacked
by unknown attackers. He identifies these alien calling them Aerogater's
Basku. Although without weapons, he managed to destroy 4 of them and
captured the 5th for Bian Zoldark to analyze

Stage 2.

Ryusei Date and Kusuha Mizuha are on their way to the Burning PT tournament
but stopped to visit Ryusei's mom, Yukiko Date at the hospital. Ryusei tells
his mom that he is considering not going to college because he wants to work
to get money for better treatment for his mom. However Yukiko won't have it
and say to Ryusei not to let him waste his life, and to find the things that
ONLY he can do. They say goodbye and head towards the championship. Kusuha
asked Ryusei about Burning PT and Ryusei says that it is like piloting a
robot and that his dream is to pilot a Super Robot one day. Kusuha looks at
Ryusei and think that Ryusei is at his best when talking about Super Robot
and she wishes that he would pay HER the same type of attention.

At the tournament, Ryusei won because the champion Tensan Nakajima has
disappeared. However he does not know that the game is what the Federation
is using to scope  out new recruits for a special team, Ingram and Aya are
watching him and Ingram labeled him as Sample 55 and notes his high power.
The area is under attack by Basku, although fighter jets appeared to fight
them , Ingram ordered them away and have Aya unload the Gesphent MkII TT.
Ryusei finds it and tells Kusuha to run while he gives it his best shot. He
is surprised to find that it is controlled just like in Burning PT. Giving
it his best, Ryu notes that the real thing is different than the game. He
gets scolded by Aya over the com link for not doing well on the battle field
and Ryusei retorted that if Aya, a trained military personnel, had THAT much
time to scold him, then she should have enough time to evacuate the area and
give him some backup. (If the difficulty is low enough) Kai and some of his
troops come and help Ryusei out. After the battle, Ingram approach Ryusei
who is desperately searching for Kusuha. Ingram tells him that Kusuha has
been taken to the hospital, and that they need to talk.

Later while talking with Aya, Ingram says that Ryusei has accepted his offer
to join the military so that he does not get into trouble over piloting the
Gesphent and that he also gets the military's full aid in medical care for
his mother. Ingram tells Aya that Ryusei will be under his command as will
the other member he has called.

Outside Ryusei has forgotten his key card and can not enter the base. A
young blonde man brushed him aside with a snobbish attitude and is permitted
to enter. Aya comes out and help Ryu. Ryu recognized her as the one who
scolded him and she apologizes for it. Aya tells Ryu to call her by her
first name even though she outranked him and she'll do the same with him.


Stage 3

Rai is interviewed by Ingram, he notes Rai's lineage from Maya and Elzam V.
Flashtein. Rai says that he has cut all link to his family and that he is
his own man now. He asked Ingram why Ingram summoned him especially after
that accident that claimed his hand. Ingram says that he does not need to
know that. After Rai left, Ingram notes that all the pieces and player have
fully assembled.

The team trained in a virtual reality game but Ryusei disobeyed order and
rushed ahead and Rai and Aya had to cover him. After the game, Ryusei is
told by Ingram to redo the training because he had not learned the meaning
of teamwork. While getting out, he bumps into Garnette, Charter, and Ratouni
who are also pilots of the federations beginning their daily training on the
virtual reality game.

Stage 4.

Rai insults Ryu saying that after the test a couple of weeks ago, he's been
doing poorly, with his stats going down, Ryu gets angry but Aya breaks them
off.  The team is to train near an island, but suddenly they receive an
emergency signal, from a cargo ship under attack by unknown forces, Aya and
Rai are sortied out to help them, it turns out Ilm is on the ship and
recognize Rai and Ingram. Ryusei decides to go out and Ingram allows it only
if he follows order. One of the enemy pilots is Tensan Nagajima who treats
the battle as a real life game. During the fight, Ryusei gets combat fright
and Tensan attacks him and notes that Ryu seems to be a newbie and someone
who has played Burning PT before. After the battle, Ilm reports to Norman,
the head of the base saying that he brought the Hilraptor with him to be
modified.

Stage 5.

There is to be a talk, a first, between Aerogater and Earth, Ryu's team,
henceforth known as SRX team is to accompany Federal forces lead by
Daitestu, the captain of Shirokane, who will accompany the president of the
United Earth (or something like that) to make the talk. Joining them is a
representaive of EOTI company, in the experimental Armored Module Granzone,
Professor Shuu Shirakawa. Ryusei, as a normal citizen, is shocked to learn
that the Basku he fought off initially are from outerspace like in the
SuperRobot shows he loves.  The president calls the Aerogater "Guests"
because they're not here to attack today. Of course Ryusei snapshot the
Shirokane, but Rai gets a feeling something is wrong. This happens when
Granzone attacks the Fu-re, the Aerogaiter ship, and they retaliate. After
wiping out the underling enemies, Fu-re retreats and Granzone turns its
attention to the Shirokane, sinking it and the remaining federal forces
within the vicinity in one shot except for SRX team. Ryusei is in too much
shock to fight and Rai and Aya tries to defend him, Rai asks Shuu whether
this was his intention from the beginning but doesn't get an affirmative
reply. Before Shuu could finish them off, Psybuster appears looking to fight
Shuu who retreats.

At the base, report of Granzone's doing has reached it, this effectively
destroyed any chance of talk with Aerogaiter, and worse, on TV, Bian
Zoldark, the leader of EOTI which now calls itself Divine Crusader, announce
to the public, the existence of alien that was kept top secret and declared
war on the ineffective Earth Government.



Stage 6

The DC war goes poorly for Earth's federation, many bases were destroyed by
MapW weapons and even the base in America where the ATX team were stationed
was captured.

After a battle to defend the base, the only team left were Garnette's team
and Kai's team. Kai tells his subordinate to retreat while he takes them on.
Being a former Special Forces Team member, he is up to the task. Garnette
and the other refuse to retreat and they find themselves battling aerial
Armored Modules, after a while the SRX team joins the fight and defeat them
but the base is target for attack by a MapW weapon. Ingram orders a retreat,
Ryusei doesn't want to and ask whether they could destroy it in midair, he
is told  byRai that he is not skilled enough to do that , Ryu then tells Rai
to do it,  HE should be skilled enough, but is told by Rai that their mech
can't do what Ryusei wants to do, and the order is to retreat. They retreat
but Ryusei screams in frustration before retreating.

Later, he and Rai trade insults again, and Ryu doesn't care when Aya tells
him that Rai is doing his best to fight when all Ryu see is just a smug cold
person.

Stage 7

The team are told to investigate an enemy movement near a water stream near
the new base, Ilm joins the fight piloting a Mass produce Gesphent. They
learn that the 2 KillerWhale subs are nuclear powered and have to disable it
without destroying it.  Of course Tensan comes out and attack Ryu, he note
that Ryu got better and Ryu finds out that Tensan is the same Tensan who is
a darkhorse in the Burning PT game. Tensan treats all this as just a real
life game and doesn't care much for human life. He says that Ryusei is the
same as him, being all giddly when the chance comes to actually pilot a real
life robot. Ryusei says that he might have started like Tensan, but he's
different now, he's learned the horror of war.

Afterward Ryusei is confronted by Garnette and the other who says that
Ryusei is unfair for not teaching them techniques in Burning PT to be use in
real life combat. Ryusei notes that it is weird that if the federation uses
Burning PT to scout out potential candidate then why is Tensan recruited by
DC?



Stage 8

In order to combat the increasing loss for the Federation, General Norman
orders an attack on DC to be made by the Hagane, to be captained by the
Former Shirokane's Captain, Daitetsu and Tetsuya, his vice captain. They are
to take the SRX team and the other team to fight DC and defeat Bian Zoldark;
a nearly impossible task.

Ryusei meets Rob, the creator of Burning PT and the R- series, he tells
Ryusei that the T-Link System is not ready and that R-1 cannot fully move
without it. Ryusei ask what the T-Link System is and Rob is horrified to
learn that Ingram did not tell Ryusei what it is not even in the manual.
Meanwhile the crew of Hagane arrives, Rio Meilong and Kusuha Mizuha. Ryusei
is shocked to find Kusuha in military uniform and learns that she is the
operator for the Hagane. He berates her for joining saying that this isn't
for her and almost make her cry. Rio tries to defend her but suddenly an
alarm sounds.

Bian Zoldark has taken interest in the Hagane and has Elzam V. Flashtein
attack the docking bay, telling him not to forget their true purpose.

Most of the team sortied out, even Ingram in his Hilchbine. Ryusei ask
whether he can use the R-1 to fight but is told no by Rob. He then thinks of
deploying in his Gesphent MK II only to learn that it was destroyed by the
initial attack on the dock.

Daitetsu prepares to launch the Hagane, predicting that the enemies will
leave the other places alone and concentrate on it.

Elzam deploys and notice Rai, attacking him, they exchange words; Rai says
that he's cut himself off from the family; he'll go above Elzam, his older
brother and Maiya, his father. Elzam applauds Rai's decision.

Of course, during this conversation, Ryusei learns that Rai is from the
Flashtein house, a highly placed family and the head of the Colony
Federation, which holds all power within all space colonies.

After the battle, Elzam leaves saying that a MapW weapon is on the way to
destroy the Hagane. There is no time for evacuation and Ingram asked for R-
1's boosted Rifle to try to hit the MapW missile, but is told by Rob that
the Hilchbine can't handle the job; Ryusei provides the only alternative, by
deploying in the R-1. Ingram gives Ryusei the chance saying that he has only
one shot to save everyone. However R-1 suddenly stop operating. Ryusei
screams out to R-1 that he wants to protect Kusuha, and everyone on board
the Hagane, his teammates and all, and that if R-1 wasn't create to protect
them, what WAS it created for? Suddenly the R-1 roars to life and Ryusei use
the boosted rifle to destroy the missile.

After the battle, Ryusei ask Ingram to take Kusuha off the ship but is told
that it is impossible. Annoyed, Ryusei met Rai, they talk about Rai's
origin, and Rai ask whether Ryusei now views him as an enemy. Ryusei says no
but wonder whether Rai can be cold and distant enough to fight them.
Thinking back, Ryusei notes that he has found his reason for fighting; to
protect those he loved.



Stage 9,

R-1 is still not functioning except for the instant it destroyed the
missile, and Ryusei is assigned to the modified Hilraptor. Daitetsu decides
to test the Hagane's limit by going undersea. This proves to be a mistake
when it is attacked undersea by Killer Whale submarine, and the Hagane must
rush past them to escape with no PT able to deploy because of the depth the
Hagane is in.

Stage 10

Noticing that Ryusei is avoiding Kusuha or being quite cold to her,
Garnette, as a former Fashion Coordinator decides to doll up Ratoni (for
whatever reason I forgot), but probably to get Ryusei to notice women more.
Ryusei finds out that the Hyukebine 009 is onboard the ship and that Ilm
will pilot it giving his Gesphent to Ratoni. Ryusei then learns of the
history behind the Hyukebine, 3 of them were created, the 008L, the 008R and
the 009. The 009 is inferior to the two 008s because it use a different
engine, the two 008s used a BlackHole engine, which was the first PT to try
to incorporate EOT technology, technologies gained from analysis of Meteor
3, into a PT. The 008R was tested and there was an accident when it's engine
malfunctioned, destroying it, and killing all but 3 people, who were Rob,
Ilm and Rai who was the test pilot. It was there that Rai lost his left arm,
which was replaced by a cybernetic artifical one. This surprises Ryusei, and
Ilm note that it's typical of Rai not to tell people about his injuries. As
a result of this, the Hyukebine earned the bad reputation and moniker of
"Vanishing Trooper" and the 008L was sealed away.

Ryusei meets a cute young girl who runs away and asks Aya who she is?  Aya
wonder whether she's a friend of Rob.

The Hagane land on an island to test the Hilraptor and Hyukebine 009 but
enemy attack by Tempest, a DC Officer who hates the Federation because of an
incident 16 years ago where because of the Federation, he lost his wife and
child(a girl).Ratoni, Ryusei and Ilm deploys and Ilm asks why the Gesphent
is piloted by an unknown beautiful young girl who he's never met, only to be
told by her that she is Ratoni.

This shocks Ilm and everyone, and they think she is cute especially the
other Operator on the Hagane, and Rio mocks him to ask whether he's a
Lolicon.  Ilm himself regrets of not having marked her in his little black
book, but suddenly the mood turned serious as Tempest attacks Ratoni and he
see her as just a kid, wondering whether he can kill a kid, he doubts for an
instance but decides that all Federations people must die. After a while the
team sortied out and defeated him. Later, Ratoni puts on Normal clothes and
says that she wouldn't wear that thing again because it's just not
functional gears.

Ryusei and Kusuha talks and Ryusei says that he's sorry for being a jerk,
but he promised Kusuha that once the DC war is over, he will talk to Ingram
to let her leave the Hagane, not knowing that Kusuha joined intentionally to
be with Ryusei.



Stage 11

Tempest is called away from his post at one of DC's fortress island and
Tensan is sent to replace him. Tensan has a plan to take care of the Hagane.
The Hagane has to go underwater to pass the island because it is full of
fortress gun capable of destroying it. After the team deployed in deep water
and take on some of the fortress gun, Tensan reveals his ace, with a Killer
Whale sub that fired out a MapW missile to hit the Hagane, however the plan
is foil by the SRX team when they destroy it. During the fight, an
unidentified flying object with incredible speed moves quickly to the battle
site, it is the same mech that appear to drive away the Granzone from the
South Pole. Ryuseii only has one word to say: "Kakkoi (Cool)" Vice Captain
Tetsuya demands to know who is piloting it, but the pilot say he is here to
help and destroyed all fortress gun in one shot with the Psyflash and goes
inside to search for Shuu. Tensan seeing his plans foiled, run away
muttering whether this unit is some sort of hidden units in the game. When
he comes out, Ingram asked the pilot who he is and we learn that he is
Masaki Ando, pilot of Masoukishin Psybuster. However having used up too much
Plana, Masaki falls unconscious and is taken aboard the Hagane.

Rob look at Psybuster and note that whoever made it was a genius, and that
it does not use any tech of a PT or an AM. It could be Aerogaiter mech

Checking up on Masaki, they determined that he is definitely human. Of
course that was when Kuro and Shiro and began talking to each other, Rio and
the other overheard and was shocked to find talking cats. When Masaki comes
around, he rushed to where the captains are meeting and demand to know if
they know where Shuu is. Ingram tells him that Shuu Shirakawa is with DC,
and if he helps them attack DC Island, Shuu will definitely pop up. Masaki
agrees and Tetsuya is utterly shocked to find talking cats.

Stage 12

A cargo plane that escaped from the North America base where the ATX team
was formerly based is being attacked by Elzam's troops. The SOS reached the
Hagane and asked for Ilm Kasahara to come at once. Before receiving this
message, Ryusei, Ilm and Rob were talking about the Psybuster and how it's
so cool and so SuperRobot-looking. Aya chimed in asking WHAT type of Robot
that Ryusei doesn't find cool, and Ryusei can't come up with an answer.
Ryusei wishes that the Hagane would have some sort of SuperRobot to up their
power because the Personal Troopers aren't SuperRobot. Rob said that the
Robot most like the SuperRobot is Grungast, created by Tesla Raibi Lab in
America. Three of them were created, No. 2 was overhauled (The one that
became Grungust Kai?) No.3 was taken by Rin Mao when she quit piloting to
head Mao Industry on the moon, which leaves No.1 which was not functioning
and left at the North America base along with it's prototype, the Grungust
Reishiki.   Suddenly Ilm gets the message from the operators and suddenly
know who it's from, however with it being so far away, the Hagane wouldn't
reach there fast enough and he asked Charter for an Fx28 Plane to pilot,
Masaki, who got lost big time, so much that Rio couldn't find him, finally
arrived at dock and say that he'll deploy in Psybuster to help.

When Psybuster and Ilm arrived at the battle, Elzam attacked Psybuster
saying that he's heard of him from Shuu, and Masaki demands to know where
Shuu is but Elzam kept mum about it. Ilm's dad said for him to reach the
cargo plane since he has a present to give Ilm. And Ilm retorted that
usually the present his Dad gave him was weird, unuseable and sometime
almost cost him his life. When Ilm reached the cargo plane, he finds out
that it contains the Grungust from the North America base, now fully
functional, and Ilm deploys in it. Elzam notes the Grungust and says that
he's found a worthy opponent, and the Hagane comes to the rescue, after a
while Elzam retreated. Rai note that his brother wasn't really trying to
sink the Cargo Ship, if so it would have been done before Psybuster even got
there, so why aren't the Aces like Elzam giving all they've got to stop the
Hagane?

Rob welcomes Jonathan Kasahara, Ilm's Dad and asks about how he escape from
the North America base, Jonathan tells him that it was due to the ATX team.
Rob then asks how could DC have conquered the base. Jonathan answer that he
found out that Zengar Zombolt, the head of ATX team has betrayed the team
and joined DC which stunned many people and Jonathan said that the
whereabout of Kyosuke and Excellen are unknown.  Most of the people there
said that beside Kai who is guarding the base, most of the former special
forces team seems to have sided with DC.


Stage 13

Atola, the vice commander of DC is very worried about the Hagane which seems
to be getting closer and closer to DC Island and urges Bian to order a full
scale attack on them. Bian doesn't seem to want to do this but he say that
they merit a look at, he'll go himself, in his mech to challenge them.

Meanwhile aboard the Hagane, Rio comes to Kusuha's room to see if she is
there since they last parted 3 hours ago to go take a shower and come back
for duties, as she enter, she sees a mountain worth of junk and product
within the room. Kusuha comes out saying what seems to be the matter since
she just got out of the bath. Rio says in shocked that Kusuha took 3 hours
to take a bath. Kusuha says that it's a pleasure of her to lie in the tub
and read a good book, which unnerved Rio to no end because for her, a bath
takes at most 30 minutes. Rio asked Kusuha what the mountain worth of
product is for, and Kusuha answers that she is a hopeless addict of TV
shopping and mail ordered product, and she ask Rio to try the special
bargained exerciser made for deep space. (Author's note. This personality
quirk of Kusuha makes this one of the very funny episode and was shown in
the SRW alpha humour comic that she was the star of) Rio declined and got
out pronto.

Later on Kusuha brings Masaki a specially created drink, to help with his
hopelessness in direction. Masaki took one gulp and his face more or less
changed color, it was just then that enemies are sighted. Everyone except
Masaki deployed because he is extremely sick from the taste of the drink.
The attacker is a troop that includes Leona Kasshtien, cousin to Rai and
once she notice that Rai is amongst the Hagane, she attacks him, saying that
if he choose to fight to defeat his father and brother, she will fight to
protect them. After Rai beats her, he tells Leona to quit the army since
she's only going to kill herself trying to defeat him. Rai also beats the
commander (forgot name) who is a servant of the Flashtein house, although
the commander recognizes Rai, and is uneasy to fight him; he says that his
duty to the Flashtein house comes first. After beating them all, a red
majestic but evil looking mech appears, its name is Valcion, piloted by the
leader of DC, Bian Zoldark.  Amazed that the head of DC would come
personally to fight them, the team is a bit uneasy but Daitetsu ordered a
full scale attack on Valcion saying to Tetsuya that a big chance is before
them, if they can kill Bian here, they could end the DC war right now.
Ingram talks to Bian while fighting, he notes that Bian isn't really trying
to destroy them, but Bian ask whether he can stake his life on it. Bian
gives them all a choice, to die or to surrender, All of them chose neither
and Ryusei gets especially angry at Bian for creating a world wide war that
killed so many, and Bian says that Ryusei is too young and hot headed right
now to think of why he started this war. The fight goes poorly, since the
Valcion is too strong. Daitetsu ordered the Hyper Tronium Cannon to fire,
even though it is an untested trump of the Hagane, but they need to buy
time, which is when Psybuster appear out of the docking bay, saying that
he'll buy the time for Hagane. Masaki says to Kusuha that even though her
drink taste horrible, after a while it worked, he hasn't got lost yet
(probably from the sick bay or the toilet to the dock). This offends Kusuha
big-time.

However Bian says that that's enough for today and state that the power the
Hagane possessed right now is not enough to defeat him and turns to leave.
Masaki cries out loud to Bian saying what about his grand entrance?, he's
supposed to buy time for the Hagane so that they could fire at the Valcion,
so why is Bian just leaving and leaving him high and dry. Bian said that
that's Masaki's problem, why should he stick around to be fired on?  And on
cue Elzam's troop comes to the rescue with Elzam escorting Bian back to
base.

After defeating them all, the team wonders why Bian came here in the first
place, just to demonstrate his power? To demoralize them?; or was it just to
show off his really really cool robot that he created?  Of course the team
dismissed the third option not knowing that it might be closer to the truth
than what any one expected (with Bian being a SuperRobot fan in the original
SRW continuity, this seems very likely)

Masaki and Ryusei were also talking about the special drink that Kusuha
created, and Ryusei says that Masaki was an idiot to drink that concoction,
since HE himself was also one of Kusuha's victims. Ryusei says that while
the drink usually work, the taste is probably the worst in the universe,
leaving an undescribable bad feeling afterward. He say that he once asked
what she used to make it and was horrified to find out  (I don't know what
it was, but probably grinded lizard tails, or something gross and weird).

It was then that Kusuha comes up to Masaki saying that she was offended that
Masaki say her drink tasted horrible, so she's prepared a new one and made
sure that it taste better. Of course after hearing Ryusei's story, Masaki
says that the Psybuster needs checking up on and quickly runs away. Kusuha
then offers the drink to Ryusei who also ran away saying that he needs to
check up on the Hilraptor. Ilm declines saying that he hears the Grungast's
motor running and has to go shut it down. Aya, definitely scared, says that
she needs to go collect some data for Ingram. Garnette and Charter quickly
offer the excuse that they need to go train IMMEDIATELY, leaving Kusuha all
alone with the drink, it was then that she spotted Ingram making some checks
on the PT. Kusuha offers Ingram the drink and not having heard Ryusei's
story, he accepted and gulp it down. Kusuha asked about how it taste and
Ingram says "It's….not…..bad". Satisfied, Kusuha left happy, not seeing
Ingram's face a couple of seconds later. When a technician asked Ingram what
was wrong, Ingram says "Nothing….. I just need to lie down ... for a LONG
while" (Personally I think this is what turns Ingram bad and why he target
Kusuha later)


Stage 14

Tensan is peeved that Bian did not finish off the Hagane with the Valcion
and that Bian had such a cool unit to himself to begin with. Atola decides
to quell Tensan's grumbling by giving him a fleet of new cannon mech to go
use on the Hagane and Tensan agrees. Afterward, Atola is met by Dr. Egret
Fieve, the creator of the Earth Cradle, he wonder if Tensan is worthy of
being part of it and Atola says maybe, but with the Earth Cradle gathering
those that needs to be saved, he might just open a second "school". However
Egret notes in his mind that Atola just isn't the one who will be saved.

Tensan surrounds the Hagane with the cannon mech and even use MapW weapon
with utter disregards for the safety of his subordinates that peeved Ryusei
off. Ryusei is not also skilled in flight battle and had asked Ratoni before
battle for a copy of her flight data from the FX28 plane but Ratoni just ran
away. However when Ryusei and the Hagane is surrounded, Ratoni loaded the
data into the Hilraptor making it maneuver even better than before. Tensan
mocks Ryusei for having to depend on a child's data but then notes
Hilraptor's movement. He then concludes that Ratoni is from the "School", a
place Ratoni would rather forget. This is because, as Ryusei found out later
from Garnette and Charter, children are taught since young to be pilots, to
follow orders with utter disregard for everything else that a child might
need. Ratoni graduated from the School but hated every moment of it,
becoming the quiet no-talk person she is. Garnette and Charter is furious
that Tensan made her remember her "School" origin and so is Ryusei, who
demolished Tensan making him retreat. Later, after learning of Ratoni's
past, Garnette tells Ryusei that Ratoni is opening up, because they and
especially Ryusei is genuinely concerned for her and hopefully one day
she'll be just like other girls.

Stage 15

Atola is concerned that the Hagane is closing in on DC Island and that Bian
isn't doing much to stop them, so he decides to use "that person."

Meanwhile Aya and Rob are testing the T-Link System of the R-3 but it goes
awry and Aya is unconscious, which is when enemies attack. The enemy is
Tomas who is commandeering some small troops including Ryouto. Ryouto asks
Tomas whether only they are available to fight the Hagane and Tomas screams
at Ryouto for being quite cowardly and assigned him the task of attacking
the Hagane while he waits. Ryouto secretly note that his commander doesn't
care about him and is leaving him out to dry but follows order anyway. Back
at the Hagane, Rio has deployed in Aya's GesphentMKII TT to strengthen their
rank since Aya is unavailable, the other operator asked what she is doing
there but she tells him to cope without her this time. Tomas then assigns
Ryouto the task of shooting down Rio. When Ryouto is sufficiently hurt or
when Tomas is defeated, he orders a retreat, but Ryouto's engine is
mysteriously shut down and his mech falls to the sea and is recovered by the
Hagane.

Ingram wants the mech in order to see how some of DC's technologies work and
the pilot might be able to give them some information and Rob reluctantly
agrees but says he'll check first if DC has adopted a Trojan Horse plan.




Stage 16

Rob's fear was true, Ryouto's mech was booby-trapped and he almost died when
it activates. Ryouto is grilled by Tetsuya, he is a bit scared since he is
in enemies hand, when he learn about the bomb in his mech, he couldn't
believe it, but he notes that Tomas probably left him to die, and didn't
care about him. Tetsuya ask Ryouto whether this is what he believes in? Is
what DC doing right to him? Ryouto responds that he'll need sometime to
think whether to cooperate with the Hagane or not and Tetsuya gave it to him
talking to Daitetsu that while this may be foolish, he believes that Ryouto
shouldn't be condemned for the rest of his life for one mistake and Daitetsu
agrees.

Meanwhile, Rio is reassigned to piloting duties because they need more
pilots and the other operator says that his job just got a lot harder, and
he should have asked for that raise before coming on board. An attack on the
Hagane sends it to investigate, it is Tensan and Tomas, this time they'll
finish off the Hagane. The blast scrambles the Electronic lock on Ryouto's
cell and he wonders what he should do next? Return to DC or? Ryouto's answer
came out when he deploys. Tomas recognize him and ask whether he is still
alive and does he figure that he could return to DC that easily. All this
taunting and Ryouto not saying anything made Rio angry and she tells Ryouto
to shout back at that scum. Ryouto finally said that while he knows that the
others don't trust him, he had no thoughts of returning to DC and will fight
alongside them. Tomas mocks Ryouto saying that those are pretty good words
for a loser like him, but it was the right choice, since even if he DID
return, they would have killed him anyway and Ryouto feels utterly betrayed
and used, getting quite angry but not as much as Rio and Ryusei who can't
believe the utter disrepect for life that Tomas and Tensan had. Beat them
all but afterward something comes out from nowhere, The Granzone.

Shuu Shirakawa says that he is interested in the Hagane for a while now and
has come out to meet and destroy them. This of course, infuriates Masaki who
says that he'll beat Shuu, right here. However Daitetsu order a retreat but
Tetsuya asked why? Doesn't Daitetsu want to get revenge for the crew of
ShiroKane destroyed by Granzone in the SouthPole?   Daitetsu says that their
mission is to go to DC Island and defeat Bian Zoldark and that if Shuu
really wants the Hagane destroyed, he would have destroyed it already and
not waste time mincing words with them. The team is told to try and occupies
Granzone while the Hagane escaped. Of course you COULD beat Granzone. During
the fight, Ryusei says that he's not as scared as he was back in the South
Pole and Ingram and Shuu trades word. Shuu ask how could Ingram understand
EOT technology a lot more than even Bian and himself and Ingram doesn't
answer.

After beating Shuu, he retreats and the Hagane flies at top speed to reach
DC Island. Meanwhile Ryouto says once again to Tetsuya that he doesn't want
to return to DC and wants to fight beside them, and Tetsuya says that he'll
talk to the Captain. Daitetsu allows Ryouto to join you putting him under
Ingram's leadership.


Stage 17

The Hagane is almost to DC Island but first it met up with Elzam's Last
Battalion ordered by Bian to engage them.  Before battle, Ryusei asked Rob
whether the R-1 could deploy seeing as to how they need more firepower but
Rob says that the R-1 is still unready and if Ryusei sorties in it, the T-
Link System might kill him. This is when the battle is engaged. Ingram
allows Ryusei to do whatever he wants seeing that this might be an ideal way
to let Ryusei's Power activate.

The Last Battalion is a tough enemy and Daitetsu order the Hagane to hurry
and go past them. They have to reach DC Island. Rai fights his brother once
more and finally we learn what came between them, it was because Elzam had
killed his own wife in order to prevent a terrorist attack on a colony some
years ago. Rai wouldn't allow himself to be THAT cold that he could coldly
kill someone he loves, to abandon them for ideals like his brother and his
father supposedly have and it seems that Elzam is a bit angry that Rai
reminded him of his late wife.

When the Hagane is almost to the goal, Tempest deploys, saying that while he
doesn't want to interfere in the Last Battalion's battle, he wouldn't let
the Hagane reach it's destination, stating again that he wants revenge for
his late wife and child who dies because of another terrorist attack and the
Federation's response to it.

However Ryusei had convinced Rob to let him deploy in R-1 and finally it
appears, moving perfectly and R-1 defeated Tempest. After suffering a
beating, Elzam also retreats saying that he'll meet Rai on DC Island.

The final battle between Hagane and DC is about to take place.




Stage 18

The Hagane has entered DC Island territory and DC is getting ready to fight.
On board the Hagane, the plan is to get the Hagane close enough for it to
unleash it's strongest attack, the Tronium Buster Cannon, at the main DC
Bunker hopefully killing Bian in the process. To do that, all units must
protect the Hagane at all cost. Rob says that Tronium is extremely powerful
but volatile and in the worst case, it could backfire and tear the Hagane
apart, when asked why this is by Ryusei, he reply that Tronium is a metal
that was scavenged from within Meteor 3 that fell to Earth onto what is now
DC Island. This surprised Ryusei and he asked why did Bian not get his hands
on the Tronium earlier. This made Rob think as well, out of all 6 Tronium
metal lump scavenged from Meteor 3, 5 of them are in Federation's hand with
the remaining in Bian's hand. Why would Bian, who is the head of the company
that initially scavenged the Meteor 3 not keep them for himself if he had
planned to start a war.

In DC Island, Atola prepares to get his ace in the hole ready, the same type
of ship as Hagane, the Kurogane to fight it. Tensan and Tomas are deployed
as well, Tensan is as usual, hyperexcited about this game but Tomas notes
that it's a bit strange that Valcion and Granzone is not deploying as well
to cement their victory.

After some battle, Atola joins the battle as well; he notes Ratoni and says
that she is one of the fine offspring of the "School" that he created.  This
angers Ryusei, Garnette and Charter, and Ratoni says to Atola that she will
defeat him, personally. The battle resumes and the Hagane reached the spot
to try to fire the Tronium Cannon, only to have it shut down. It was then
that Atola has Elzam, who is captaining the Kurogane, attack the Hagane.
Almost destroyed, the Hagane still won't sink but Daitetsu ordered all
Personal Trooper to go into the main bunker and defeat Bian at all cost,
while they hold the line here. Of course killing all of them works also, and
Tomas sees where this is going, says farewell to DC and splits.


Stage 19

As the team enters the DC base, Bian ordered all DC personnel except Elzam's
Last Battalion to evacuate, he will deploy in the Valcion and Shuu in the
Granzone.

As the battle begins, the SRX team, Masaki and the others tells Bian that
it's all over, why did he not try to fight alongside them if his true
intention is to defeat the Aerogaiter like he claimed on TV. Masaki also
screams at Shuu that he won't forgive him for the atrocities he commited at
the South Pole. Shuu smirkly respond that he SAVED the Earth back then, and
though Masaki won't believe him, Bian chimed in saying that the Hagane
members didn't really know what was really going on at the "peace talk" at
the South Pole. It wasn't a peace talk but the surrendering of Earth and
humanity to the Aerogaiter, and only by attacking them could they force the
Federation to fight the Aerogaiter. As for cooperating with the Earth
Federation, that's what Bian's been trying to do all these years before he
gave up on them because of their ineffectiveness and their spinelessness and
formed DC to create a fighting force to defeat the Aerogaiter. That's why
most of the Tronium are in Government hand, Bian donated them to the
Government while he was trying to work with them to create weapon to fight
Aerogaiter like his Armored Module or the Government's Personal Troopers.

While this may be true, it doesn't excuse the massacre of the SouthPole nor
the death of the innocent soliders just doing their jobs elsewhere who died
when DC attack and the Hagane team is ready to fight Bian.

The battle is tough, though Granzone will not lift a finger, Bian is more
than enough at this point, Bian recognizes Ryouto even though Ryouto was
just a foot solider in DC army and says to him that Ryouto made the right
choice, Masaki is taunted by Bian as being too green to know what is Bian's
true objective but Masaki persevered and along with Ryusei and the rest of
the team, finally defeated Bian. It was then that the truth came out, the
reason Bian did not fully destroy them the first time they met, the reason
no full scale attack was used was to raise them, make them grow into a
fighting force capable of defeating the Aerogaiter, this was his and Maiya's
Flashtien's TRUE goal all along. Bian realized that the Earth Government
wouldn't be effective against Aerogaters before the DC War so he destroy
some base making them toughen up, making them develop new technologies and
he did a lot more (as we'll soon find out)

Bian's last word before death is that he asks for forgiveness from his
daughter Ryune for not being the father he should have been to her. Masaki
heard his last word before the Valcion explodes, and Granzone vanished.

Outside, the Hagane is taking a beating from Elzam, and Atola (who have
returned if you beat them last stage) when the Valcion's explosion notified
them of Bian's Death. Atola wouldn't have any of this and tries to rally the
remaining DC forces to follow him, HE'LL be the new DC leader to take over
the world, but Elzam issues an order to the Last Battalion member on the
field to retreat.

It's over and Atola has to flee as well.

Contacting Raker, their commander, the Hagane finds out that most of DC
forces, without their leader and their main base, is retreating, they may
engage in guerilla warfare but DC is no longer the threat it was without
Valcion or Granzone.



Stage 20

Staying at the former DC Island for repairs to the Hagane, Charter and
Garnette looks upon the remains of Meteor 3, Garnette wants to be in a
romantic mood with Charter but he just keeps on mentioning the Meteor 3 and
Ratoni chimes in as well ruining the mood for her. They met Masaki who is
leaving to pursue Shuu, although his intention weren't clear when battling
Bian, Masaki knows that Shuu is too dangerous to leave alone, and will
pursue him to defeat him for what happen (in Lar Gias). Tetsuya ordered that
they not erase Psybuster's code number so that the radar can still identify
him as a friendly if they meet again. Meanwhile Daitetsu has finally open
his bottle of old Japanese Sake that he kept on board the Hagane in his
cabin to celebrate and ask if Tetsuya would join him, Tetsuya declines
saying that the Captain and the Vice Captain should never be drunk at any
time but Daitestu doesn't relent and finally gets Tetsuya to take a few sip.
Bad Move, since Aerogaiter mech appears suddenly and the male operator tries
to find Tetsuya and Daitetsu only to find them pretty much wasted from the
sake. The male operator is given command and he orders the team to deploy,
although Rio ask him annoyingly as to why HE's giving the command not the
Captain or the Vice Captain, and he reply "it's a LONG story" Nevertheless,
the team defeated the Aerogaiter mech but they keep coming, it was then that
Psybuster reappears, saying that he saw on the radar screen what's happening
from a long distance away and came back to help, destroying them all, and
finally leaving. The team is then told that once the Hagane finished
repairs, they are to leave immediately.

Stage 21

It has been a few months since the event in Stage 20, and the Hagane is
given the task of hunting down the Kurogane and the remaining DC forces that
are still waging their war against Earth.  Ryusei and Ryouto had been doing
their scouting for a couple of months, Ryouto had a question that he wanted
to ask Ryusei for a while, he wants to know whether Ryusei was chosen by
being a Burning PT Champion in his area, and Ryusei says yes with Ryouto
saying that it was the same for him where he lived, though not in the same
vicinity as Ryusei so they never met. However Ryouto finds it odd that he
(and Tensan) got picked by DC while Ryusei got picked by the Fed when the
game is just the way the Fed use to scout new pilot, one possible answer is
that there is a spy within the Federation, high enough to look at the data
and give it to DC before the Fed could use it to scout out the pilot.

When they return to Hagane, they received a distress call from a small
country under attack by DC.  It is Tempest, he demands the surrender of the
country, to use for DC's revival and that the Princess be turned over to him
to guarantee their obedience. However the young Princess Shine knows that
they have a different reason for targeting her and that they won't just use
the country for DC's revival but for other things to it's citizen as well.
The Hagane arrived in time to rescue the princess and Tensan comes out
saying that he "continued" the game from his game over last time.  Tempest
of course raved about his revenge yet again, but he goes down and DC
retreats.

The talk between Princess Shine's assistant and the top crew of the Hagane
revealed that they probably also target the princess because of her
precognitive powers and the person who probably ordered this is Atola who
had unite some of the remaining DC forces, in order to use as material for
his second "School"

At the Earth Cradle, Atola is talking with Dr. Egret Feive about using the
Meigas system and it's special guardian to boost up the DC's power but is
told that Dr. Sophia Neet is still working on the system that is one year
until completion. Atola wishes that Tempest didn't fail because he could
have use the Princess for the Keim System to boost the DC's power.

The problem now, is what to do, for the Hagane, if they leave, the Princess
will be targeted by DC again, so the only answer is to escort her to the
Federation base where she will be safer. The Princess goes off wandering and
meets Rai who she immediately seems to have a crush on. When she returns to
the meeting room, Ratoni is assigned the task of being her bodyguard, and
the Princess tells her to take off the glasses and dress neater when being
with her, which pretty much upsets Ratoni who doesn't want to go to Garnette
to get new clothes because she knows Garnette will give her the frilly
clothes she once wore some times ago.






Stage 22

Back at the base Ryusei talked to Ingram to let Kusuha go since the DC war
is over but he declines saying that that is not possible and there is no
need to tell Ryusei why either? Ryusei gets angry and asked whether this has
something to do with the mysterious "T-Link System" and Ingram says that
there is no need to tell him. As Ryusei leaves, frustrated, Ingram smirk
noting that it is good that Ryusei is getting suspicious. Ingram had also
earlier met Kusuha and told her to start training in the Burning PT
simulator and if not, to get out, and Kusuha reluctantly agree. At the Base,
Jonathan Kasahara and Rob had finally finished the Grungust Nishiki and R-2.
Aya had to return to her father's lab to test out the T-Link system for the
R-3.

It is training time and Ryusei and Rai are deployed in R1 and R-2 along with
the new pilot for Nishiki who turns out to be Kusuha. Ryusei is furious that
Ingram choose to do this and demands that Kusuha get out at once, if she
stays, she'll have to fight and maybe kill other people, but Kusuha doesn't
relent saying that she chose to do this herself. This is when a mysterious
red mech appears and attacks R-1. It is Kyosuke Nanbu from the Hiryu Kai in
the Gesphent MK III Altaisen. Ingram then order Ryusei to attack back and
Rai figure out that the two teams are to test each other because they will
now be working together and the best way to do that is to have them go at
it. His hunch proved correct when the Gesphent MkII Custom Weizbritter
appears piloted by Excellen Browning saying half jokingly that she's Rai's
date for today. Brooklyn Brit also appears in the Hyukebine MK II and his
opponent is Kusuha's Nishiki. However Kusuha does not attack back saying
that she CAN'T hurt someone whom they'll be fighting alongside with. Ingram
then says coldly that if she doesn't, she'll be killed and ordered Brit to
attack her, and if he hits the cockpit accidentially, that's ok too. Rob and
Jonathan can't believe that Ingram just said that and urges him to rescind
that command. Brit looks at Kusuha and then he shuts down the Hyukebine MK
II saying that there's been some problem with the motor and he can't move or
operate the weapon system, thinking to himself what type of commander is
Ingram to so coldly force someone who doesn't want to fight to fight.

Meanwhile, the battle between Altaisen and R-1 is reaching a peak. Ryusei
can't believe the sheer toughness of Altaisen and Kyosuke is impressed with
R-1's mobility. Ryusei charged up for his T-Link Knuckle saying that he'll
put everything into this attack of his and Kyosuke responds saying that
he'll use his Joker and uses his last attack on R-1. The sheer force of the
attack hits them both and Kyosuke couldn't believe that R-1 could do that
much damage close-handed and Ryusei had to admit that Kyosuke is a pro at
fighting. Ryusei then ask Kyosuke's name and then remember that Ilm told him
that the test pilot for Hilraptor was Kyosuke.

The two teams then stop fighting and return to base. Back at the base, Rob
and Jonathan says to Ingram that they DID NOT create the R-series or the
Grungust series so that the pilot could be a killing machine, and Ingram
walks out not replying, Rob knows Ingram just didn't listen to what they
said.

Kyosuke, Excellen, and Brit reports to Raker.Hanz who was also there and
responsible for Kyosuke's accident and dismissal to the ATX team mocks
Kyosuke saying that it's a miracle Kyosuke survived until now but Kyosuke
wouldn't find it easy anymore under HIS control. This was when Raker burst
Hanz's bubble saying that the HiryuKai and all the pilot including the ATX
team will be put under Daitetsu's control to weed out DC forces and the
upcoming Aerogater attacks, and Hanz bit his lips in anger.


Stage 23

Out in space, a mysterious platenoid dubbed WhiteStar by the Federation is
moving in closer to Earth, the Hiryu Kai that is still in space is sent to
investigate. With it's rank severely depleted because many members such as
Gilliam, Viletta having left since DC War and their leader Kyosuke Nambu,
along with Excellen Browning and Brooklyn Brit on Earth, it's PT troop
consist of mostly Gesphent, Chikwald, Shubalt piloted by Kathina, Russell,
Tasku and Rada.  When Aerogaiter forces attack, Kathina feeling the need to
prove something, attacked without order forcing the rest of the team to back
her up. When even more forces appear, the Granzone appear, surprising
everyone. Shuu says that he have no intention of fighting the Hiryu Kai and
will help them if they want. Knowing of the Granzone's sinking of Shirokane
at the SouthPole before the DC War, Refina and the other are doubtful
whether to trust Shuu or not, but John the vice captain see that they can't
refuse his help nor can they defeat him without Kyosuke or the others, and
accepts his help. Even amongst all this, Kathina wouldn't retreat and keep
asking Russell to watch her back. However the Psybuster appear, having
finally found the Granzone. Masaki is intent on a showdown with Shuu but
before he could attack, Shuu berates him for not having grown up a bit, not
knowing the situation that they are in. Shuu said that Masaki should be
helping fight the Aerogaiter first not tracking him down. Masaki still
wouldn't accept that and even Refina asked Masaki to put aside his hatred of
Shuu for a while, even though she said she doesn't know what went on between
them. Masaki shouted at her that if she doesn't know, then butt out, but he
notes the situation and says to Shuu that if he makes one false move here,
Masaki will attack him without regret and Shuu notes it with a smirk. With
both Psybuster and Granzone's help, the scouting Aerogaiter are defeated and
Refina ordered a full retreat that even Kathina had to obey. Shuu says to
Masaki that he's better off right now co-operating with the HiryuKai since
he himself will not be active HERE for a while, but before Masaki could
question him, Granzone disappear.

Refina then asked Masaki if he would lend them their strength like he did
the Hagane during the DC War. Currently the Hiryu Kai is on a course to meet
the Hagane near Earth and Masaki agrees which surprises Refina that Masaki
would agree so readily. Masaki then notes that it's been HALF a year since
he left the Hagane on DC Island.




Stage 24

Rendezvousing with the Hagane, Ryusei and the other are surprised to see
Masaki with them. Suddenly the alarm sound, one DC mech is fast approaching
them, it looks like a giant sci-fi fan service girl. It is the Valcione
piloted by Ryune Zoldark who seems to want revenge for her father. She notes
that while he isn't the most perfect man in the world, he's still her
father. Masaki asked her whether she is still with DC and she replies no,
since the remaining DC forces right now is not the DC that her father and
Maiya Flashtien created. And Masaki then asked her why is an army of DC Mech
behind her? This surprises everyone and it is the remnant of the Colony
forces which is with DC, amongst them Leona Kasshtein who did not join in
the final battle when the ATX team defeated Maiya. She is disappointed in
what DC stands for now, and that this isn't what Maiya and Bian had wanted.
Ryune objects to being linked with these scums saying that the DC her father
created would never resort to using poison gas on a colony. This surprise
the Hagane member when Tasku or the other Hiryu member says that it was in a
mission that they prevented but still, these people do not stand for what DC
was supposed to stand for. Ryune attacks them to show them that she is no
longer connected with them and Sebel.

Sebel then ordered everyone to attack but Leona having heard Ryune's word
says that THIS isn't what she fought for and move against the Hagane
shouting that THIS will be her FINAL battle, Tasku notes that she is
planning on a kamikaze attack and won't stop till she's dead or disabled so
Tasku, Ryusei and the rest pretty much destroy her mech but left the cockpit
block intact. As for Sebel, he fell hard to the team (by Rampage Ghost's
first attack in Ryusei route) and retreat like a wussy. With no one else
between them, Ryune turns her attention to the Hagane/Hiryu but Masaki says
that Bian gave his life to raise them as the fighting force against
Aerogaiter but Ryune wouldn't listen and Masaki brought her down. Ryune then
sort of stop saying with a smile that she knows that she really couldn't
defeat the combination of the team that brought down her father and Maiya by
herself, she was just testing them saying that she has different believes
from her father, her father's her father, she's herself. She then asked
whether she can join the team and they agree.

After battle, Kyosuke is admiring the Hilraptor seeing as how it can now
transfom and Ilm says that it wasn't Kyosuke's fault but Hanz's who forced
him to transform during the test sometime ago knowing it would blow up.
Kyosuke says that it's partly his fault too, if he had more skills, maybe he
could have done it without having it blown up.

Meanwhile, Leona asked why Tasku didn't kill her outright and Tasku says
that he destroyed her mech but she survive out of luck, with that strong a
luck, she should put it, and her life to good use and not throw it away.
Later on Leona is asked by Refina to join them seeing as how they are
personally whom Maiya and Bian selected to fight the Aerogaiter. Leona then
think and said that she's already thrown away her life once during the
battle and survived because of luck, so she'll use this second chance at
life to fight alongside them, if that was what Bian and Maiya have wanted.

Of course Tasku and the other men are also rumoring about how beautiful
Leona is and how Rai is lucky to have her as a cousin.  Rai doesn't think so
when Leona approached him and they talked to each other civilly for the
first time in a long while.

Rai still wouln't forgive Elzam for what he did to his wife and Leona asked
Rai whether he knows how Elzam felt, being the one to murder the one you
love because it's the only way to save numerous lives. A little more details
is given over the incident, it seems that some years ago, terrorists attacks
a colony and took over the dock threatening to kill everyone if their
demands weren't met, Elzam's wife was being held as hostage when Elzam's
troop arrived to try to rescue the colony. In order to get into the colony,
Elzam chose to blew up the dock killing his wife in the process, this
angered Rai when he found out and drove a wedge between them because Elzam
did not show any sign of grief, but Leona knows that Elzam suffered in
silence and must have been torn inside when he did it. She wouldn't forgive
Rai who is blind to the pain of his brother and left him angrily making Rai
think. During the DC War, he had thought of rising above his father and
bigger brother but in the end couldn't, he have misjudged them both after
finding the truth about why Maiya and Bian formed DC, and now this.

We see then, Rebi Tora, the head of the Aerogaiter attack force along with
Adett admiring Earth from the White Star and they say that soon, the Earth
will be theirs.


Stage 25

The voice of Rebi Tora and the Aerogaiter rang across the Earth, demanding
the Earth's total surrender, giving the Earth 30 days to comply and the top
officials of both Earth and the Colony meet to decide their future. Of
course there is much debate as to why the Aerogaiter are giving them enough
time to gather force and mount a counter attack, is it arrogance or do they
want something from the Earth's military.

Anyhow, the Earth President ordered all military resistance towards the
Aerogaiter to end, and that applys to the Hagane and HiryuKai commanded by
Raker and Norman, if both ship attack Aerogaiter forces, Raker and Norman
will be court martialed and the team will be consider as renegades. And in
order to make sure that they don't do anything else, both the Hagane and
Hiryu Kai are ordered to come to the Capital at once to guard it during the
30 days period.

While returning to base, Kachina petitioned Ingram to be the pilot of R-Gun
and Ingram says that he'll consider it, he later says to Rada that the R-
Gun, while designed by him wasn't exactly just for him. Rada then ask him to
try some new Yoga technique for fun but Ingram says that he's heard from the
Hiryu Kai team about the various pose that Rada had them performed. Rada
then says that Viletta can do this pose too which irks Ingram and he says
that ANYTHING Viletta can do, he can do better, and promptly assumed the
pose which probably gives him a lot of pain. (For a master manipulator,
Ingram is SURE gullible and the butt of a lot of joke)

At the base, it is under attack by DC forces and Raker and Norman wonder how
they could have gotten this close without the alarms sounding. They got
their answers a second later when Hanz appear in a cargo plane with Princess
Shine with him. He bids farewell to the idiots in the base and it's pretty
apparent that he's the MOLE that gave the data of Ryouto and Tensan to DC.
Hanz says that with Princess Shine as his gift to Atola, he'll be granted a
position of power in DC and Kai comes out angry that Hanz  played them for
fools.

After Hanz escaped, the two teams arrived and when Rai found out that
Princess Shine was kidnapped, he gets very angry and wants to rush after
Hanz at once. Ryusei calms him down saying that Rai isn't acting like his
calm collected self, and Rai calms down. Kyosuke ordered all members to
defend the base and repel all intruders first and is asked (I think it was
by Brit) as to how Kyosuke not care that Hanz betrayed them but is told by
Excellen that Kyosuke is steaming inside and she wouldn't want to be Hanz
when Kyosuke gets his hands on him because Hanz had made Kyosuke really
angry, and Kyosuke will tear Hanz to pieces when next they meet.

Katina comes out in the R-Gun and says to Kyosuke that she'll prove that
she's got what it takes to be a test pilot for Prototype.

Later, the team is told about the decision by the President and isn't very
happy about it. Ilm then says that he now knows why Hanz tries desperately
to have the Hilraptor project fails when Kyosuke test-piloted it. If the
Hilraptor had proved successful then, it would have been mass-produced and
it would have meant the loss of advantages for the DC's flying AM like Leon
or Karion. Having succeeded in sabotaging the project; the Federation were
forced to rely on ground only Gesphent and a few flight capable PT like the
rebuilt Hilraptor and R-1.

Meanwhile Ryune, Ryouto and Rob are searching the Valcione's computer for
any lead where Hanz might have taken Princess Shine. Ryouto finds a file but
it is encoded needing a password, one that Ryune provided with ease because
it is a verse from a book that her father and she know.

The file then turns out to be a recording from Bian Zoldark, he state that
if Ryune has found this, odds are he is probably dead. He lamented the fact
that he wasn't the ideal father, but one thing that he hopes will help Ryune
is the content of this file. It contains all information that Bian was
privied to during his reign of DC before Ryune left for outer space. (And
that's almost everything), in it are plans for the Earth Cradle which Bian
notes is created by Dr. Egret Feeve, a key player of DC and Ryune then
thinks that it might be where the DC forces are stationed.

Stage 26

On their way to the capital, Daitetsu ordered them through the route where
it is likely that they will be attack by DC in order to gain Dc's attention
so that they have an alibi to fight DC. Meanwhile (I could be wrong about
the sequence here) Aya has returned with R-3. However she had found
something out when she was testing the T-Link system at her Dad's lab, one
of the early tester for the T-Link was Kiriko Date, Ryusei's mom and she
wonders if Ryusei was not just chosen by the Burning PT game. Ingram tells
her not to worry about it but smirks once she leaves the room saying that if
only Kiriko Date had not lose her power, by now she would have been ???" Of
course Ryusei and Rai meets Aya and wonders why she is a bit dejected but
Aya managed a smile towards them.

Masaki and Ryune is sent out to scout the area and meet Sebel who gets
extremely angry at Ryune for mocking him and he orders all units to attack
her.

Sometimes before, Kathina had asked Refina to order the unlocking of
Hyukebine 008L so that she could pilot it but is denied, frustrated as to
why she doesn't seem to be good enough to be a test pilot, Kathina rushes
out to accompany Masaki and Ryune without order in their patrol.

Kathina shows up and Masaki asked why is she here alone,and she said that
she came to help, of course Russell comes running behind saying that Kathina
has to have him watching her back (considering how reckless she can be).

The four tried to survive until both ship arrived, and when Leona deployed,
Sebel mocks her for giving up and surrendering to the enemies like a dog but
Leona says that what Sebel is doing is not why DC was form, and that without
Bian and Maiya, DC is an evil organization that must be destroyed.

As the fight rage, Zengar comes out in his Reishiki. Brit asked him why he
is still being an enemy to them if his purpose was to train them to fight
Aerogater, and Zengar says that Brit is being too green. Brit says that if
Zengar STILL choose to fight them, then HE"LL destroy the Reishiki Kyosuke
and Excellen exchanged a few words with Zengar and fights him, however (in
my game) it is Brit who destroyed the Reishiki and gets the ChichiO blade
from killing him. Zengar retreats but says that he'll be waiting for them at
the capital (which the Hagane and HiryuKai were enrooted to) since that's
where DC will stage its most massive attack yet.

Sebel also bites it and screamed out why he is to die now and not be the
ruler of DC.

Back on the ship, Kathina got slap by Russell and is shocked to find him (as
timid as he is to be quite defiant towards her) He says that he will always
be there to watch her back in battle but that's if ONLY she will follow
order and fight alongside everyone like she's supposed to. If she does
anything like this again, he'll slap her again until she comes to her
senses. Kathina is a bit shocked at what Russell said and paused for a while
before apologizing to Russell and everyone for her rash behaviour these past
couple of missions.

Brit is very dejected that Zengar has still chosen to be an enemy even once
the DC war is over and he complains to Excellen that Zengar has really
betrayed them but Excellen wonders if that is really so since Zengar did let
it "accidentially" slip that the DC was planning to attack the Capital. So
perhaps Zengar is still on their side but with DC right now to see what the
remaning DC troops will do once they lose Bian and Maiya.

Back at the Earth Cradle, a DC technician asked Zengar of who could have so
severely destroyed the Reishiki and Zengar says that it was his former
troops, he thinks to himself that it is good that the HiryuKai and the
Hagane's troop is getting stronger if they are to face what is ahead.

Stage 27

Atola had finally managed to complete "that" and have Tempest deployed in
one of them to test run it and the Keim System on board. He also asked Hanz
to sink the Hagane and HiryuKai in order to prove himself to the new DC.

After knowing Dc's target, the HiryuKai and Hagane rushed towards the
capital.
Of course they are met by Tempest in the Valcion Kai. Ryune is furious that
they managed to duplicate her father's masterpiece for their own use and
deploys in the Valcione with Masaki right behind her. Tasku also deploys in
the (ChikanSchwuld, or something, the big red mech) and Tempest could barely
contain himself seeing it saying that it is good that he gets to destroy the
mech that is responsible for killing his wife and children along with the
Fed.

Leona tells Tasku that the ChikanSchwuld"was responsible for some hostages
dying some 16 years ago and that is why it was sealed. The incident became
known as the Hope Incident. Tasku says that he had known from (can't
remember whom, Viletta? Refina? Rada?) that the mech has a tragic past
behind it but didn't know that it was responsible for the death of innocent
but he still wouldn't let it deter him, he 'll make ChikanSchwuld work and
atone for it's past


After reducing his mech to some percentage, Tempest goes a bit crazy, as the
machine seems to make him think of only revenge. Ratoni recognizes this, it
is the Keim system which Atola once tested it on some "School" members, it
is technically the Zero System of OG, except that unless you have special
powers, odds are it'll drive you mad, or think of only one thing until you
die. There is no way to save Tempest except to kill him.

Of course Hanz comes out with an army of DC Troops and berates the Hagane
and Hiryukai team for continuing to fight a futile battle. Daitestu asked
Hanz why he betrayed the Earth Federation, and Hanz smugly says that there
is NO way that the Federation can beat the Aerogater, it is too soft, that
is why he turns to DC, once Bian was dead and DC was ruined, it still have
the Earth Cradle, it's purpose was to save some of the best and brightest of
Earth in a cold sleep so that humanity can survive the alien invasion after
the rest have died or are enslaved. Hanz plans to be one of those people
selected and he'll do so by killing the Hiryukai and Hagane team. Of course
this makes Kyosuke angry again and he practically "Rampage Ghost" Hanz to
his death. Hanz couldn't believe that he is going to die but he smugly says
that the HiryuKai and Hagane team that only knows how to fight will all die
fighting the Aerogaiter and laugh maniacally before his death.

As for Tempest, his Valcion Kai is destroyed and him with it. Ratouni says
to him before his death, still screaming for revenge, that he is going to
finally go meet his wife and child again, and that HIS war ended 16 years
ago. Tempest dies./

The team discussed that the possibility of more Valcion Kai being produced
are high and that the abducted Princess Shine might be used to further the
Keim System's power.


Stage 28

Preparations are made for Atola's attack on the Capital and Dr. Sofia Neats
of the Earth Cradle wonders why humanity as a whole have to fight each other
when the alien threat is looming above them. She also worries that the Earth
Cradle will become a warzone when the Federation force of HiryuKai and
Hagane attacks them. She then meets Zengar Zombolt for the first time and he
reassures her that the Earth Cradle will not be touched.

Tensan is gleefully admiring his new "Secret Cheat Code" unit and says that
he should have been given one a long time ago. Atola notes that he'll take
Princess Shine in the last Valcion Kai with him as a guarantee and says to
Egret that he will come back from the capital as the new ruler of Earth.
Egret only smiles and laughs in his mind that someone like Atola will never
be chosen for the Earth Cradle and he begins to make preparations to spare
the Earth Cradle from the attack of Federation forces afterwards.

As the Hagane and Hiryu Kai are almost entering the capital, Brit is worried
that he'll have to fight Zengar again even when the DC War is over and they
should work together to repel the Aerogaiter. Kusuha tells him that if he
believes in someone, he should believe in them till the end.

The Capital is attacked by Tensan in the Valcion Kai and he killed Albert
(The president) and a lot of officials in one blow. He roars hysterically
that that's what should have been done a long time ago if Bian would have
just given him the Valcion to play with. Ryusei and the others arrived too
late. Ryusei screamed for Tensan to get out of Valcion Kai because the Keim
system will make him mad but it's too late, Tensan has already begun to go
mad, saying that he'll kill everybody, the Hagane, the HiryuuKai, Atola,
everybody. Ratoni and the others tells Ryusei that it's too late for Tensan
and Ryusei says that he'll stop Tensan's rampage.

However Atola deployed and he used Princess Shine to pilot the Valcion Kai's
Keim system. Rai is furious at Atola for doing this and Ingram orders
everyone to attack Shine's Valcion saying that if they hurry and destroy the
Keim system, they can save her. The battle is hard but Rai and the others
prevailed.

Lili notes that DC right now is not what Bian and Maiya envisioned and
attacked Tensan, this surprises everyone but Tensan attacked back and killed
Lili. She dies peacefully saying that she's going to go to meet Maiya, and
that Zengar will take care of everything else. And appear he does, Brit and
the others are worried that they have to take on Zengar as well when Zengar
says that Maiya had ordered him to tie up the loose end of those in DC who
wouldn't follow their dreams and would use DC's power to rule the world like
Atola. Atola is furious at Zengar but Zengar roared

"I AM ZENGAR ZOMBOLT, THE SWORD THAT CLEAVES EVIL!!!!!!!!" and he begins to
attack Tensan and Atola

Tensan died laughing maniacally which depressed Ryusei as to what he might
have been. Atola dies when everyone else on the ship abandons him there.
However the Hagane and HiryuKai manage to save Princess Shine and that's
what mattered.

Kyosuke, Brit and Excellen talked to Zengar, he says that he has no
intention of rejoining them because all in all he DID betray them even if
they forgive him, it's just not right. However, when the Aerogater attacks,
he will be there to fight alongside them and then Zengar leaves.

With Albert dead, the no-attack policy against Aerogater is gone and Norman
and Raker begins to plan an attack of Nebgeim or WhiteStar that will be
called Operation SRW.


Stage 29

The Earth Cradle has contacted the Hagane saying that it will surrender and
Daitetsu and Tetsuya thinks that it will be Ok to leave it alone for now
(You're gonna regret it, think Ancestors, people)

The team has recovered Princess Shine's Valcion Kai and though Ryune
wouldn't pilot it, she did give her blessing for anyone else to use it. The
unit is stripped of the Keim system.

Rai talked to Princess Shine and says that she has to go back to her country
even though she wants to be with them. However Rai says that her duty is to
her country and that their duty is to protect the Earth. Shine asked him to
come meet her once the battle is over and Rai agrees.

The capital is then under attack by Aerogaiter forces, the team deployed and
after beating some small fries, a mysterious enemy appeared and Ingram notes
to himself whether it is time for him to complete his mission. Ingram tells
Daitetsu to evacuate at once since they can't beat the new enemy and even if
they deal enough damage to it, the enemy might send in Map W like weapon to
devastate the capital. Daitetsu doesn't see any proof of this and wonders
how Ingram knows but he did allow Ingram to order the units to stay near the
ship.

After dealing some damages, the enemy retreats and the operators then said
that Map W weapons are on the way to devastate the capital. Daitetsu is
amazed that Ingram guessed correctly and the two teams escaped.

Later on Rebi Tora and Adett is talking to Viletta Badem?? Thanking her for
her undercover work on Earth and asked where is the other Spy they sent to
Earth and Viletta says that he'll be arriving in a little while.


Stage 30

Ingram tells Aya that they will practice the SRX Formation today since R-3
and R-2 has gotten the Plus Part. Aya isn't confident as to whether they can
do it and Ingram tells her that he'll always be there for her. Aya regains
her confidence and walks out determined not to let Ingram down when Ingram
smirks to himself that humans are SO easily manipulated.

Meanwhile Ilm, Rob and a lot of the others have gathered to spy up on Kusuha
and Brit. They see Brit and Kusuha as a couple in the making and wonders why
Brit doesn't just profess his love for her. Things get even wackier when
Kusuha tells Brit that she'll make her special drinks for him if he'd like
it and Brit gladly accepted not knowing about the earlier victims.

Ryusei, Kyosuke, Excellen, and Masaki are talking and Ryusei say that the R-
series have a secret which Masaki and the others guessed correctly that the
R- Series could combine into a super robot which annoys Ryusei that it was
so easily deduced. Heck he even got a code name for the transformation which
is Variable Formation, and Rai asked what the heck it is when Excellen
chimed in saying that she's heard it in all those old TV shows like "Pild-r
On" or "Let's Com-ine"etc And Rai says it's nonsense but Ryusei tries
extremely hard to defend it when Aya comes in saying pleasantly about the
time for the training which makes them wonder whether anything good happens
to her.

However Aerogater attack and Daitetsu tells Ingram and the SRX team to sit
this one out, however Ingram says that their team will deploy as well but it
will take a while.

Before the battle starts, Brit wonders where Kusuha is and is told that she
will deploy along with Ingram and the SRX team because her Nishiki had
developed some problems.

After beating out enough of them, Ingram in the R-Gun and the SRX team
appear along with the Nisihiki, however Aerogater ship Fure also comes out,
after beating a couple more of them, Ingram tells the team to form SRX. They
are shocked since they have never attempt such a thing but Ingram says that
this is the moment that he trained them all for, and for them to trust in
him, if they can combine then the victory is clearly won, Aya believes in
Ingram and begins the variable formation. It failed and Aya is knocked away
barely conscious. Ingram looks at this and begins to laugh. Suddenly he
rushed to Aya's side and tells her that it is time for her to die, and R-
Gun blasted the R-3 into bits. The others are shocked at what Ingram just
did and suddenly Aerogater appears beside Ingram as if to protect him.
Ryusei couldn't believe it and shouted out why Ingram had to kill Aya.
Ingram says that Aya is a failed sample and must be eliminated.  Kyosuke
surmised that Ingram betrays them to join Aerogater to ensure his own
safety. Ingram says that is a good guess but wrong because he has always
been with Aerogater because he is an Aerogater spy, and that to him, the
team was never more than samples to him. Ryusei couldn't believe it and
Ingram says that to him Ryusei is Sample 55,nothing more.  Ryusei screamed
out that Aya truly truly believed in him and love him and he made a mockery
of it, he won't stand for it "Commander Ingram … No… Ingram Prisken!!!! He
shouted " I won't forgive you, I'll take you out!!!!!"  The team also rushed
him, Masaki says that he won't forgive someone like Ingram and Ingram
countered whether Masaki will follow him to the end of the Earth like he did
Shu Shirakawa, and Masaki says that he'll finish Ingram off here. Ingram
says to Rai that SRX probably need 3 Psychic making the suggestion that Rai
is unnecessary. However Rai says that until he beat Ingram, R-2's seat is
still his.

Ilm says that he should have noticed Ingram earlier and Ingram says that Ilm
has become a fine pilot since the PTX days and Rin would be proud of him if
she were here.

After beating the R-Gun, more Aerogater forces appear and also took Kusuha
along with her Nishiki, the Aerogater force is lead by Viletta who has come
to welcome Ingram back, Ingram goes,but not empty handed. After the dust is
over, Rio tries to find Kusuha but see that she is gone, she tells Brit and
Ryusei and Ryusei screams out in frustration at the turn of events.

Ryusei and Brit almost gets into a fistfight because Ryusei said that Brit
should have protected Kusuha, but Brit countered that it's Ryusei thart
Kusuha always wanted and what does she means to him exactly, if he doesn't
want her then tell her. Charter interrupt the battle saying that even if
they fight, Kusuha won't come back and to save their energy for rescuing
her.

Tetsuya reported to Daitetsu that they have recovered both the R-Gun (if you
blew it up) and the remains of R-3, and Aya is still alive but unconscious
unhurt physically but psychically.

Excellen goes to see Aya in the medical room but she is unconscious, Ryune
and Rada also wait for her. She wakes up saying that she just had a very bad
dream where Ingram tries to kill her and something like that JUST can't
happen, can it? Excellen stops her and tells her the truth that Ingram
betrays them all to stop her from becoming delusional and have her confront
the hard truth. She screams out that it's a lie but the others tell her it's
true; they convince her to fight once more to find out the truth for herself
and to meet Ingram once more on the battlefield. And Rada says that she know
just the Yoga pose to relax them. Excellen tries to sneak away but is caught
and she thinks that her bones will be broken THIS time.

Meanwhile Ingram is greeted back on the Nevigeim for a job well done by Rebi
and Adett.


Stage 31

Adat is waking up one of her project; she gives him the name Keiza and
tells him that the time has come to attack the Earth. However Ingram says to
send in Iron Mask first to test them.

Kyosuke is promoted a rank to Chuui and the others are also promoted a rank
because of their work in the DC War. Kyosuke is asked to take command and
asked whether Aya or Ilm would be better but they both decline, Aya because
she is still raw over Ingram's betrayal and Ilm isn't good in a commanding
position. Although he really doesn't want it, Kyosuke accepts the job.

Durign the battle, he comes out and reintroduce himself and the other ribs
him a bit but promise to follow his lead. Excellen also ribs him saying that
Kyosuke is such a good man, good position, how come he doesn't have any
women at his side (take the hint Kyosuke)

The battle is tough and Kyosuke knows that Ingram must have programmed these
Aerogater with their fighting pattern because they are better than normal.
However help arrives in the form of Gilliam Eika who helped the Hiryu Kai
during the DC War.  When he appear, Masaki asked whether they have met
before elsewhere and Gilliam paused and say that they have never met, at
least not here  (Think Hero Senki) He comes with his Gesphent Mk II R but
however finds Iron Mask who commadered the attack. Ratouni and Tasku think
that the movement pattern is very familiar and so does Gilliam.  They beat
off Iron Mask. Later Gilliam met Refina, he says that he is still working
with the information Bureau but at this time it is better that he stays with
them to gather the information he needed about the Aerogater. He says he'll
stick with the team until the end.

Kai, Ratouni and Gilliam met with Refina and Daitetsu to discuss the
movement of Iron Mask, it is extremely similar to that of Commander Kaweui
of the old special force which Gilliam, Kai, the late Tempest, Zengar and
Elzam was a part of. He disappear testing one of the Gesphent S and the
special team disbanded after that. Gilliam notes that the Aerogater's true
objectives might be…. Daitetsu tells all the members at the meeting to keep
this hushed up for now because they don't want to add to the distress of the
other members.

Later Gilliam met Rada and he jokes that he doesn't want to do bone-breaking
Yoga right now. Rada is depressed that everyone sees her as JUST a yoga
freak. She asked Gilliam's help in breaking into Ingram's encrypted files on
Mai Kobayashi. Gilliam agrees thinking that the information in the file
might help to illustrate Ingram Prisken's personality

Stage 32

At the Nebigeim, Ingram is brainwashing Kusuha, you can tell by her blank
blue eye. He ask her what she is and she replys that she is a weapon for the
mighty empire, he ask her who are the enemies and she replys that all those
who oppose the empire are the enemies, to her the Hagane and HiryuKai is the
enemies, but when pressed by Ingram to tell him what Ryusei Date and
Brooklyn are to her, she hesitate a while before stating that they too are
her enemies.

Ingram plans to send her out even though Adat is opposed to this. Meanwhile,
the SRX Team and all R-Series mech are suspended from operations because of
guilt by association to Ingram. While the Hagane crew knows that Ryusei and
the others wouldn't betray them, the top brass aren't so sure and of course
Ingram has a hand in creating the R-Series and who knows what he puts in
there, until the R-Series is completely checked out, they are grounded for
questioning.

The mechanics like Jonathan, Rob and Kirk are busy repairing mech, Rob
comments that the battle will be very hard from here since Ingram knew
everything about them.

The base is attacked and the team saw that it is Kusuha who attacked them.
They know that she is being stringed like a puppet when she doesn't reply to
them and speak Heero Yui-like language all monotone like. Kyosuke tells Brit
to just disable the Grungust Nishiki so that they could rescue her. However
when he almost does that, she regains a bit of her sense and screams for
Ryusei's help that breaks Brit's heart and she is recalled.

After more battle with Geisar, Brit is lamenting about not being able to
rescue Kusuha and Garnette comments that it must be heartbreaking for Brit
for him to learn that in Kusuha's heart is Ryusei.

Speaking of which, Ryusei is grilled and while he is released, he is shocked
to learn from the questioner about Kiriko Date's (his mom) past connection
with Aya's father's lab and Ingram

Meanwhile Gilliam and Rada has successfully break into Ingram's encrypted
files and found out that the odds of Mai Kobayashi and one Dr. Janet Fonda
(I think that was the name) are only listed as missing not dead like the
official files. The odds are very high, seeing as how Kusuha is turned into
an enemy, and the mysterious Iron mask man's appearance, that Mai is still
alive, somewhere. However the data seems different than what Aya remembers.
From Aya's memory, Mai is her older sister but according to the file, Mai's
age is younger than Aya.Rada ponders the thought that Aya's memory might
have been tampered with. She wants to meet Dr. Kobayashi to discuss what HE
knows and is hiding but Gilliam tells her that Dr. Kobayashi is in intensive
custody following Ingram's betrayal and that access to him is impossible.
Rada regrets that but notes that Mai and Aya might not even be real sisters
if Aya's memory has been tampered.


Episode 33

Knowing that the Aerogaiter are targeting them, Masaki offers a plan, since
Psybuster is top on the Aerogaiter's most wanted list, he'll go on
survelliance and offer himself as bait so that they will attack and hope
that Kusuha is also there. It's a good plan but since the Captains don't
trust Masaki not to get lost, they have Ryune accompany him and also
Excellen to keep tab on these two hotheads.

What they find is the original Valcion piloted by the supposedly dead Bian
Zoldark and Shu Shirakawa in the Granzone. "Bian" tells Ryune that the time
has come for the Earth to unite, under DC's feet to fight the Aerogaiter,
and Ryune says that that's not what her dad would really want since he would
want everyone to bond together to fight the Aerogaiter whether they are
Federation, Space Colony or DC.

Masaki shouts to "Shu" that "Is this what you mean by not doing anything"
and "Shu" replies that Masaki is an idiot to ever trust him. In the midst of
this, Excellen is shouting to the two as to why they are behaving strangely
since the two enemies there are only….

Masaki and Ryune attack the two but can't make much of a dent. Masaki notes
that while "Shu" is pushing all the right button with his words to Masaki,
something is a bit off since according to Shu's own nature, he doesn't
really make an appearance without any purpose and the Lapis Computer inside
the Psybuster doesn't detect the Granzone.

Excellen figures out that the two are under illusions and that the
mastermind must be somewhere close. She detects Adett and Adett comes out
saying that it is amazing that Excellen doesn't fell under the illusion,
there must be something special about her, and Adett is determine to find
out once she takes Excellen back to her lab. Excellen hits Adett's mech that
negates the illusion and "Shu" and "Bian" turns out to be Aerogaiter's
Basku.

The rest of the team arrived and defeated them and Adet beats a retreat. She
later screamed at Ingram as to why he didn't bring back Excellen because HE
HAS to know what makes her immune to the illusion and Ingram only says
mysterious stuff that I don't really care to find out.

Meanwhile for a mission well done, Excellen asked Daitetsu if Daitetsu could
give her, some of his old fine liquour. Daitetsu says that once they get
back to base, he'll give her some and the conversation turns to what Liquour
(Sake, Wine, etc) tastes great. And with the SubCaptain, Daitetsu's former
SubCaptain joining in to talk about good Captain knowing what Liquour to
drink, Refina, feeling left out, wonders whether if SHE should start
drinking.


Stage 34

The Aerogaters are attacking again and this time it is Ingram who
commandeered the attack. After fighting off a few of them, he and Kusuha
come out. Rio and the other are astonished as to why Ingram still has the R-
Gun since they have it in dock (if you blew it up) Leona and the other says
that with Aerogaiter technology, it is probably easy to recreate it since
Ingram was the one who designed R-Gun. Kusuha says to Brit and Ryusei in her
normal voice that she's fallen for Ingram. And that she has decided to go
with him. Brit and Ryusei know that Ingram is still manipulating her. Ingram
order Kusuha to attack them. Ryusei says that he'll cover for Brit, while
Brit rescue Kusuha. Ryusei gives Brit his blessing saying that he can't make
Kusuha happy but Brit CAN.  When Brit confronts Kusuha, she asked whether
Brit wants to be her lover since he's always acting a bit weird when around
her. Also Ryusei never pay attentions to her no matter how hard she try, if
Brit can beat her, she'll be his forever. Brit says that those words
wouldn't confuse him, and that he'll hear it from Kusuha when she's herself
again by his own effort. "Brimg it on Grungust Nishiki!!!!!" he screams, "As
Master Rishu and Captain Zengar taught me!! Attack before you are attacked.
Kusuha then says "Goodbye Brit kun" and uses her Hissatsu Keitou ShunGoken,
but Brit duck and disable the Nishiki saving Kusuha and freeing her. Ryusei
notes that Brit did his part now it's their turn.

They defeated Ingram's R-Gun however, it suddenly reappear, definitely
mutated. Ingram says that this is the R-Gun Reviere, and it is a monster to
beat. Needing more firepower, the SRX Team then decides to form SRX and THIS
time it succeeds. Ingram smiles and says that he'll be the SRX's first
opponent. Rai says that the SRX can't last that long so they have to finish
Ingram off quickly and SRX then takes on R-Gun Reviere.

However the MOST interesting battle is when Gilliam engaged Ingram. Ingram
is astounded and shock (and that's a rare occurrence) it is like looking
into a mirror image, but one slightly different than him

This is the direct quote:

Gilliam: So YOU"RE Ingram Prisken
Ingram:  Huh?!!!! What?!! This man
Gilliam: …………..
Ingram :WHO ARE YOU !!!!!!?
Gilliam: The same fate as you…..I'll only say that I am  someone who also
shoulder the same fate of roaming and wandering the parallel worlds…. Just
like you.


Ingram: WHAT !!!!!????
Gilliam : But it seems we've taken different path…. I ….know that…
Ingram: ……….
Ingram :What is your purpose ????
Gilliam :  To pursue and investigate a certain group of people. At least
that was it
Ingram: Was?
Gilliam : Defeating you and the Aerogater is my top priority right now
Ingram :Hmmphh, looks like an Irregular (unexpected player) has enter the
game.

Ingram runs after taking lots of damage but the Reviere is still fill with
HP.
After the battle, Ryusei went to see Kusuha at the medical room and see Brit
there. He gives Brit his blessing again and runs off. He then meet Charter
and Garnette who correctly guess that Ryusei doesn't want to open his heart
to someone because he fears that he might not survive the war with the
Aerogater. Charter tells him that no matter what, he's not fighting alone,
Masaki, Kyosuke, and the others will all fight alongside him.

Kusuha has revive and amazingly doesn't remember anything from when she was
an Aerogater puppet but she felt that she must have done something bad, Brit
tries to calm her down by lying saying that she didn't get kidnapped and
turn into an enemy who is bent on killing them and in love with Ingram. Brit
is a lousy liar because Kusuha figured everything out in seconds, and say
that she must have caused a lot of problem for the team.almost crying.

Meanwhile Ryusei is told by Rob and Rai that SRX has develop a problem, it
seems that it can only combine only one more time, because of some
unspecified problems (probably the Tronium Engine). However once combined,
it will last the battle. Ryusei notes that it is then best to use the last
SRX Combination in the upcoming counterattack in the final battle.

Stage 35

Daitetsu is told that a crew of high ranked people in the Federation is
trying to reach the White Star in order to draw up a peace treaty (read:
Surrender) from the Southpole in Daitetsu's old ship the Shirokane.

However at the South Pole, it is under attacked by automated Aerogater
forces. The Kurogane headed by Elzam comes out and talked to the cowardly
officials and decides to protect it. Zengar also arrives to help Elzam in
his Huckebeing Tronbe. After defeating some of them, the two teams comes out
and both Elzam and Zengar retreats saying that they will meet again when the
attack on White Star begins. Even though the team is victorious, a lone
enemy unit attacks the Shirokane with precision and destroyed the deck
killing all the officials, the pilot of the unit is revealed to be Viletta
(but not to the team). Later the team notice s that everything else of the
Shirokane is still in perfect condition needing only minor repairs. They
wonder why the Aerogater unit did not completely disabled the ship so that
it cannot participate in the upcoming attack.

Meanwhile, an associate of the cowardly officials whom I forgot name and
will now dub Evil Indian Guy notes from afar that it is unfortunate that the
officials have died and that it might be time to go back to his "country"
(Point to note: some episodes ago, after the end of the 2nd DC Uprising by
Adola, and the announcement of surrender by Rebi,the officials were asking
EIG why Rebi wants them to surrender since they had already discussed
surrendering before with him to his planet. EIG then says that like Earth,
his planet is made up of different counties, and these countries have
different empires.) (What this COULD mean is that back in Ep 5, the
"Aerogaters" there were actually Zezenan and the other Souwolk disguised as
Aerogaters, or that the Souwolk had defeated and absorb the Balmar
(Aerogater) into their empire. Whatever it is, in the sequel, it WILL be
something that should be picked up on)


Stage 36

It is nearing the 30 days ultimatum that the Aerogater gave the Earth;
preparations are almost underway for the counterattack. With tension
increasing each day, the two teams decided to have one last party before the
coming battle. Rio is excited and coaxed Leona, who seems especially
unwilling, into preparing the food to make it an international banquet with
foods from Korea, India, German, etc. Tasku is gleeful that he is going to
get to eat Leona's cooking at last. Meanwhile Daitetsu and John, his old
vice commander on the Hiryu) are in Daitetsu's room drinking to each other
and Daitetsu tells him that John has been with him through thick and thin
and that if anything happens, he ask that John do his best to help everyone.
John rebuffed him, saying that that is no way to think.

And the foods are out, Rio gives Rai the curry that Rada and Yun (the female
operator on the Hiryu Kai) has prepared, it is a combination of Indian and
Korean taste, and it pretty much burned Rai's lip as he gasped for water.
Next up is Leona's German cuisine and Tasku offers to eat it with Leona
protesting to the last minute. He does and turns another color and goes
down. She apologizes saying that cuisine was NEVER her strong point. Kuro
points out that EVERYONE has to have a weakness. (It gets even funnier in
Kyosuke's route, when trying to digest the food, Taksu asked for something
to drink and Kusuha gives him her "special" drink which double K.O. ed him)
(You know, I'm sensing a pattern here, original SRW female heroine doesn't
seem to be able to cook well, even Excellen once said in Kyosuke route that
the best food she could do was the 3 min Cup Noodles) But the highlight of
it is when Excellen and Garnette come out in Bunny Girl costume to be the
eye candies for the male. Needing liquour and lots of it as the party gets
underway, Garnette and Excellen goes to Daitetsu's room and shocks him with
their curvely appearances and asked for booze, the one that Daitestu
promised Excellen several mission ago. While handing it over to Excellen, he
notes that Excellen and Garnette are big drinkers and that he'll never see
this bottle and the liquour it contained again. Back at the bridge of
Hagane, the male operator is piffed that he doesn't get to attend and
Tetsuya says that someone has to be on duty in case of enemy attack but he
tells him that he can cover for him for 10 minutes. As he runs out, Refina
comes in saying that she isn't much of a party person and someone has to be
available. They talk and seem to hit it off, since they are both young but
are either Vice Captain or Captain.

Of course Aerogater has to attack at this time, ruining the mood. It is
Gezar, the weird pimple and hair guy who looks strikingly familiar to
someone and Iron Mask Guy.

The team scrambled hastily and SOME member are still reeking of booze, Tasku
is still queasy from Leona's cuisine and Garnette and Excellen didn't have
time to change and are piloting the mech in their bunny girl suits (you tell
me how sexy, and weird that is) Excellen asked Kyosuke why HE doesn't seem
drunk and he says that he drank only Green Tea during the party to be alert
and Ilm says that he drank only a milkshake just in case.

During the battle, Iron Mask seems to recognize the Gesphent and combining
that with his movement, Gilliam notes that it could be Commander Kaweii from
the old Special Forces. After getting a beating, Gezar plays dirty and
reminds Ryusei of Tensan Nagajima, the others noticed it too but Tensan is
supposed to be dead. Excellen says that maybe it's a long lost twin brother,
but the other dismissed it saying how could Tensan have a brother who looks
like him but is an alien. Gezar send out Map W nukes and flee, the team
disabled it.  Giliam is now sure of the Aerogater's motive. The party
resumed.


Stage 37

It is time to announce the counter attack name; its codename is SRW,
Operation SRW.

The counter attack will consist of all Federation, DC, Colony ships
attacking, Phase Two will consist of them attacking with nukes if
conventional attacks failed. If Phase Two failed, then Phase 3 will have the
Hagane and HiryuKai invade the White Star to destroy it from within, and
Phase 4, if the ships are incapacitated will have ALL PT from both ship, the
strongest of Earth's force, attacking the core and defeating Ingram Prisken
and Rebi Tora and destroying the White Star. A near futile mission, but one
that must NOT fail at ALL cost.

The team are a bit uneasy hearing the plan explained and Charter says that
the odds of them dying are high. Garnette snaps at him telling him NEVER to
say that, she will live, and don't Charter dare DIE on her. Kyosuke notes
that it is the biggest gamble of all time and smile saying that it is a bet
worth taking.

Ryusei and some of the others wonders what SRW means and Excellen offers her
version, being that S is for Sexy, R is for Romance and W is for Weapon, so
it means Operation Sexy Romance Weapon. (Probably only the Valcione fits
this category) And Ryusei counter that it's obvious, SRW stands for Super
Robot Wars. The other doesn't think so (which shows just how non-otaku they
are, of course it stands for Super Robot Wars, we live for this thing)

Ilm talks to his father before leaving, His father says that Ilm HAS to come
back, he has to come back to see his father again, or else…his father will
raid Ilm's little black book and make off with everyone Ilm jotted down even
Rin. Is that enough motivation for you, Mr. Playboy?

Ryusei also meets with his mom; he tells her that he knows about her past
with Genzo Kobayashi's lab and Ingram Prisken. Yukiko says that she didn't
mean for Ryusei to find out because that part of her life was over, she
wishes Ryusei the best of luck in his new life.

Rio and Ryouto talks and Ryouto asked Rio that if they survived this, can
they go on a picnic, Rio answers that it would be a nice reward with the
others after the battle. Ryouto says that he wants only just the two of them
to go and Rio says that that isn't such a bad idea.

Meanwhile in the hangar, Rob and Dr. Kasahara are surprised to find Dr.
Marion; she had come with a generator that will give the SRX the ability to
combine almost infinitely.  She says that while she still hated mech using
Alien tech, using this Earth technology created generator on it seems poetic
and ironic considering who help built SRX and she leers at Professor Karku
who tries to address her by her first name but rebuffed by her.

Rob asked why Professor Marion is SO antagonistic towards Karku and Jonathan
tells Rob that the two USED to be married, and got divorced. Rob can't
picture the two of them together.

Daitetsu and Tetsuya convene in Daitetsu's room, he asked Tetsuya to take a
drink but Tetsuya doesn't, because he hates booze. Daitetsu tells him that
Tetsuya is like a son to him, and that no father should ever lose their
children. Tetsuya notes that Daitetsu's real children died during???? (I'm
guessing either the Hope Incident with ChikanSgrud or the incident in
Elzam's colony or when the Hiryu got attacked by Aerogater.) He tells
Daitetsu that he will reserve the drink for when they come back victorious,
and Daitetsu agrees,

As the two ships are leaving Earth's atmosphere, they pick up a signal from
Mao Industry on the moon, Aerogater are attacking.  Noting that it could be
a trap or a diversion set up so that they miss the rendezvous with the other
ships, but not wanting to lose Mao Industry and Rin, the team heads toward
the moon.

On the moon, Aerogater forces are attacking, and though the personnel are in
the shelter, Rin Mao doesn't want to take the chance that they won't attack
it. She asked Rio's father, for ANY PT she can used, Rio's dad says that a
lot of the Gesphent were destroyed in the DC War and all remaining Gesphent
were given to the Federation for Operation SRW. The two Huckebine MK II are
also gone, but Rin Mao notes that ther is one mech left that is powerful
enough to repel the attacker, it is her own personal Grungust which she took
as a memento from her piloting days  before coming to head Mao Industry if
you didn't meet the requirement, if  you do, Rin asked that the lock on the
original Huckebine 008L be unlocked.

As Rin attacks them in her mech, the other comes out and if it is a
Huckebein, Rai notes that he never thought he would live to see the day that
this "Vanishing Trooper" would be fighting in a battle alongside him.  But
he won't let what happened to him on the 008R soured his feeling, he's moved
on and put the past behind him. Ilm asked Rin if she is doing Ok and she
doesn't answer back nicely which tells Ilm that Rin is still angry at him
for his behaviour. (Fess' up loverboy) However Iron Mask then comes out, and
they are shocked to find out that he is piloting a Gesphent S that
disappeared with Commander Kaweii therefore he must be… The "Gesphent S" is
stronger than it looks and Ratoni suggest that only the appearance is a
Gesphent like the R-Gunthat Ingram pilot against them which became R-Gun
Rivale.  It is an Aerogater mech disguised as a Gesphent.  After killing
him, he thanks them for releasing him from this existence. Gilliam then vows
revenge on the Aerogater for doing this to his old commander.

Rin still doesn't forgive Ilm that easily but she did tell him to come back
from the battle.  And she probably gave him the 008L to help out. Rio meet
with her father and he said that while he personally want Rio to stay where
it is save with him, he understands why Rio has to go and fight the
Aerogater.

Stage 38,

The operation is staring and the two teams arrived in the nick of time, the
mission is command by Commander Norman. However after all attacks failed,
they go to Phase 3 where all ships tries to make for the WhiteStar, however
they are up against an army of Fure, Kyosuke tells all member to protect all
the ship at all cost to enter the White Star. However, most are destroyed
and Commander Norman died trying to enter with his ship, leaving the Hagane
and the Hiryu Kai to finish the job.

Stage 39

Nearing the entry point, Ingram tells Viletta to deploy and do what she has
to do, Adett then tells Geza to go and destroy the double crosser.

The team entered the area and found it is guarded by an army of Aerogater,
however, they are surprised when one of them destroyed the other one being
Geza destroying Villeta's mech saying that he and Adett knows what Viletta
is really up to and that this is the end for double crosser like her. He
calls for more reinforcement. Ryusei is almost sure that Geza is Tensan
somehow because Tensan could have been rescue by the Aerogater. However help
comes in the form of the Kurogane and Zengar in the Reishiki. With their
help the Hagane makes it way to the selected point and begins to charge up
it's Tronium Buster Cannon, Gezar intervenes but Daitetsu tells the team to
overeheat the cannon and the engine and to ram both Gezar, and the Hagane
into the barrier of the White Star. The explosion deafens the place and
Refina and John in the HiryuKai wonders whether the Captain and the others
crew are dead or not?  They then see the escape pod for the Hagane being
picked up by Kurogane and the robot entering it.

Daitetsu tells Refina to stay behind so that Aerogater forces can't follow
them, and to protect their homeworld while the Kurogane and the PT enters it
to destroy it. Refina reluctantly agrees. Elzam gives Daitetsu full command
of his ship and himself and so does Zengar, Zengar meets with his former
subordinate and though it is a bit clumsy to talk to them once more, they
forgave him for his past attacks on them.

Stage 40,

Entering White Star or Nebi Geim, The team are shocked to find out that it
has an atmosphere and environment that seems like Earth. They are even more
shocked to find DC forces waiting to attack them. Elzam identifies them as
DC troops from the numbers that went missing and that these aren't Aerogater
mech made to look like DC forces.  The DC Troops piloting them must have
been brainwashed by Ingram. Kusuha says that that is horrible and say that
they have to rescue them like they did her, however she is told that in her
case, it was an exception because Ingram only used the T-Link system to
temporarily brainwashed her with no side-effect while these people are
goners. Saddened at this, the team vowed that they have to stop the
Aerogater and defeated the brainwashed DC troops.

Afterward, four Valcion Kai appears. Ryune says that they defeated those
before and cheap copy of her dad's mech won't stop them. The team noted that
with Aerogater's tech, most Earth mech can be copied.

After finishing THEM off, the team is surprised to find THEMSELVES??? It
seems that a copy of most major players in the team has appeared as enemies,
such as the SRX team, Ryusei, Rai, Aya in SRX, Kyosuke, Excellen and Brit,
Gilliam, Tasku, Leona, Ilm, Masaki and Ryune. "Kyosuke" tells his team that
it seems that a fake team has appeared and our Kyosuke noted likewise. Kuro
and Shiro are also shocked to see that they too were duplicated.

However help arrives in the form of Viletta in the Geshpent S, Rada asked
her where she's been and she ducked the question by saying that she's been
around since they last met. Gilliam questioned her whether they should trust
her since she is very much like Ingram and she tells them that if they don't
trust her then they are free to shoot her in the back anytime they like and
Gilliam then said he trust her. She tell them that the shadows are created
from scans on their memories like snapshot of them but fully under Aerogater
control, she tells them to destroy these shadow since they won't listen to
reason. As Psybuster goes up against Psybuster, Valcione against Valcione
and more, Ryusei fights against his double in the SRX, "Ryusei" says to him
that if Ryusei destroys the SRX, it might just trigger the Tronium Engine
and "Aya" further drums it to Aya that the T-Link System is something that
will always attract misfortune in a move to demoralized the team. However it
failed and all the doubles are gone but the battle's not over yet, cause
here comes Adett and Geiza, tired, the team is ruthlessly rushed by high HP
Aerogater mech along with Geiza, but they don't give up, As Geiza goes down,
it seems that he remembers stuff from his past that he has to go play a game
tomorrow, the Burning PT, and he'll slaughter them all THEN, This cinches it
for Ryusei that Geiza was Tensan Nagajima. Adett confirms this by saying
that they rescued Tensan and gives him this new body with no memory of his
past life. And that's what she's going to do to all of them.

However the team unleashed everything they have at her and as her mech
crashes and she crawls out, she is met by Ingram, who shows her through data
that her true identity WAS and still IS Jennifer Fonda of the Kobayashi Lab,
whom he had kidnapped along with one other as the first sample. He thanks
Jennifer Fonda for her hard work but now it's over for her. Adett screams
that she isn't Jennifer Fonda, that she's an Aerogater, but Ingram coldly
says that the ONLY true Aerogater on board is him and he shoots her dead.


Stage 41 A (The truth about Ingram)

The team has finally reached their destination and Ingram welcomes them to
the heart of Nebigeim. He says that their original mission is at an end and
they will get new mission here. Kyosuke orders all units to destroy R-Gun
Rivalere knowing that if they kill him, they can destroy the Nebigeim. The
fight with Ingram is silent, tough but in the end R-Gun Rivalre goes down.
Viletta paused briefly noting that this horrible way is the ONLY way to free
Ingram. Ingram chuckles a bit before dying and he congratulates them on what
they've done, they 've finally stopped him when he couldn't himself.  Ryusei
and the others are confused and they asked what Ingram actually is, he
replies that he is a manufactured man, sent along with Judecca to collect
samples and that his will is bounded to Judecca and it's objective and he
can never escape it's thrall as many other that he brought here. Kyosuke and
the other then realize that Ingram was actually training them to bring him
down to release him. Ingram tells Aya not to be bounded by the past and to
forge a new life for herself, he truly wished the team luck in the battles
beyond, he thinks to himself that everywhere he goes, in whatever dimension,
the results seems to always be the same, but for one brief moment, he is
truly Ingram Prisken, a man of his own free will and he smiled before R- Gun
Rivalere exploded as Ryusei screams out "Commande Ingram!!!!!!" in disbelief
and in sorrow.  Masaki can't believe that Ingram did all that to get them to
kill him. Ryune says that deep down Ingram can't forgive himself either for
what Judecca made him do, but even so, it was no forgiveness for what he
did.

Suddenly there is a shaking and the team gets a feeling that something bad
is about to happen outside, the Kurogane hightails it out of there.

Stage 41 B (The Battle with Rebi)

Outside the Nebigeim, Refina and other ships are waiting, seeing as to what
happened, Refina asked whether Daitetsu made it out and is relieved to find
them, however something else also emerged from Nebigeim, it is the Judecca
piloted by Rebi Tora along with the remaining Aerogater force, it destroyed
the rest of the Earth fleet and damaged both ship. The team deployed and
Rebi tells them that they have been chosen to become warriors for the
Aerogater. Elzam asked her what would become of them afterward and she says
that weapons do not need to know such things. Of course the team rejected
whatever she says and as Zengar puts it, no questions asked, they will
defeat her.

Kyosuke chuckled a bit, and says that he hasn't found anything this big to
gamble on before and Excellen notes that his gambllerholic mania is kicking
in, which might not be that good, even Tasku don't seem to think that they
can win, but Kyosuke announced to all units, and to everyone in the
vicinity, this IS their final mission, It's time to put all their money
where there mouth is , and he leads the charge against Rebi who is content
to give them a sparring.

Daitetsu shouts as the Kurogane enters the frontline that it all began when
the Hiryu under his commands and that he lost many fine crewmembers, their
sacrifice won't be in vain and he tells Tetsuya to open fires. Leona shouts
that Maiya, Bian and so many others had died so that they could be prepared
to defeat the Aerogater, now is the time to fulfill their dream and protect
the planet and the race that they loved, for humanity's future.

As Rada enters the battle against Rebi, her equipment shows no mistake,
Rebi is actually that person. Rebi asked Rada what she hopes to learn about
her through the measly psychic relation power of her but Rada countered that
the instruments confirmed that Rebi is a human just like them.

Ilm mockingly says to Rebi that why don't he give her a handicap and comes
out of his Grungust to fight personally. Rebi isn't amused and tells him to
give her all he's got, Ilm smirked saying that why don't she come out of
Judecca then? I mean it's such a waste for a cute young girl like her to be
doing this, he's pretty sure that she'll grow up to be a good (looking)
young woman whom he can take out on a date.

Rebi's expected reaction was "YOU PERVERT!!!!, I'll zip that mouth of yours
SHUT FOREVER". Ilm then say " Hey, I did say, that I was going to give you a
handicap  (Meaning: he could have been more lewd with the sexual joke)

Ratouni faced off against Rebi and she exhibits Heero Yui signs that Rebi
says will make her a good solider for them. Ratouni says that she won't
dance to anyone's tune anymore, thanks to Ryusei and the others, she's found
her true self and she'll help Rebi find hers as well and Rebi mocks her that
she's still following orders and dancing to someone's tune

Rebi mocks Valcione for being a life sized- doll created to fulfill Ryune's
ego but Ryune then says that this doll packs enough powers to beat her and
attacks Rebi.

Rebi also mocked Kachina for being basely simpled for just spoliing for a
fight, saying that it's the main event. Kachina retaliates saying that
she'll kick the butt of whomever she don't like with 100% of herself and she
says that " You haven't study me enough Alien!!!"

(For Kai,(Kyosuke Route,)  he thanks Rebi for reuniting the special team and
that they were able to put Commander Kaweui's ghost to rest, Rebi then asked
whether Kai is that haunted by ghost and spirits and Kai says that the
Special Team has ALWAYS walked with spirit, the spirit named Gesphent)

Rio tells Rebi that what she and the other Aerogater had done is wrong but
Rebi doesn't even begin to understand her and dismissed her. But Rio shouted
that to HER, Rebi is EVIL and her sense of justice tells her that Rebi MUST
be brought down.

Ryouto, is scared, and Rebi asked mockingly as to what a scared wuss like
him can do, he replies back that even though he's scared, being scared won't
solve anything, so he'll fight despite his fear, and he's not the only one.
When Russell is targeted by Rebi, she mocks him also, but Russell says that
while he's scared, compare to what Kachina puts him through and what she'll
do to him if he runs, this isn't that scary.

Even Garnette has something to say about it, she tells herself that she's
not going to die, she's going to live, because she has found her reason,
whatever the case, she WILL GO BACK, BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS.

Rebi then asked her why she's trying to commit suicide by picking a fight
with her, Garnette retorted that she doesn't want a future that is handed to
her on a silver platter, if she wanted to run, she'd have done so in the
first place, she's here to make a future for herself and the one she love

Rebi also notes a strong almost indomitable force of will rushing at her,
she says to it's owner that that power and that will is what they were
looking for even though it is aimed at her at the moment, but then the
source of the will shouted, (like he always does, ) " I am  Zengar, Zengar
Zombolt, the sword that cleaves Evil, Rebi Tora !!!!! , you WILL disappear
by the hands of  my ZanKatou" and the Grungust Reishiki unleashed it's most
powerful move.

As the battle raged on and Judecca is hit by Metal Genocider, Ripslasher
and more. Ryusei asked Rebi to consider that since Tensan, Adett, Kaweui and
more were just brainwashed people by Ingram, isn't the possibility high that
she TOO is the same, Rebi shout back as if to reaffirm to her self, "NO, I
am an Aerogater, the Core of Judecca" and Ryusei shouted that THAT could be
false memory too! Rebi retorted back to Ryusei to shut up, she would not
believe Ryusei.

Rai says that every good warrior knows his place to die and Rebi then says
that he's certainly found the place but Rai rejects that saying that as long
as there is something and someone he has to protect, he won't die, this
WON"T be his place to die.

Tasku says that it's time to test his luck just like Kyosuke, Rebi says that
luck alone won't win a battle, there's such a thing as difference in power
and that he'll never defeat Judecca, however Tasku says that he has this
nasty habit of turning his opponent's word right back at them.

Gilliam faces Rebi and he tells her that it's time for a divergence in the
timeline, will this timeline goes the way he predicted or will it turns to a
new unpredictable path, of course Rebi can't understand him at all but she
notes something special about him.

She also faces Viletta whom she called Ingram's little doll and asked
whether she can do anything by herself. Viletta says that she's been given
free reign by Ingram, and that she will free Rebi from the fate that Ingram
inflicted on her, because that was his last request.

Excellen also joked about Rebi saying that it's nice to meet Rebi-chan but
they have to fight now, Rebi recognized her as the woman Adett mentioned.

Rebi mentioned to Brit that with his power, he just might make the grade and
become one of them but Brit says that his power isn't the deciding factor in
beating her, as Zengar and his mentor has shown, his skill is what will beat
her and he will BEAT her.

Elzam meets Rebi and Rebi says that Elzam will be good as a weapon of the
Aerogater or die but Elzam says that he's not ready to go meet his dead wife
yet. He recount that his wife has given her life willingly to stop the
terrorist attack years earlier, and that he will not let her death be in
vain, with his blood stained hand, he will bring her down with his Tronbe.

Ryusei tries once more to reason with Rebi but she rejects his claims, he
shouted that DC, the Colonial Troops and them fights with their own free
will but he hasn't seen any of her free will, she's just like a puppet, a
marionette dancing to Judecca's string. She rejects his claim again, Masaki
and Kyosuke tell him that it's probably too late for Rebi, the Judecca must
be destroyed at all cost.

When Masaki comes close to fight, Rebi notes that the Masoukishin he piloted
is an enigma to them and a great power but that power will be use for them
once they have it.  Masaki retorts that making people dance to your tune is
a great power, as he has great experience with Shuu and then Ingram and he
knows that Rebi is dancing to someone else's tune since he doesn't see her
true will, her determintion in the battle, he shouts that as a Masoukishin
pilot, he will cut Rebi from the strings that binds her.

Aya meets Rebi and she feels the psychic energy is like her own, Rebi
doesn't like it and she tries to kill Aya, Aya notes that while she may
hates her psychic power for what it costed her, if it is needed to stop Rebi
from herself and from Judecca, then she will accept it.

Kusuha shouts out for Rebi to end this since this battle won't solve
anything and that she's already lost and that Rebi might have just been like
her when she was brainwashed, Rebi reject that claim again.

During the battle, Rebi feels a shock in her head, she screms what's
happening. Aya asked Rada if Rebi is and Rada's silence confirmed it, Aya
notes that the only way is to destroy Judecca, isn't it because she's too
far gone like Ingram. Kyosuke and the other tries to comfort her but she
says it's all right, for the Earth, Judecca must fall. Rebi shouted that
they can't possibly think to stop Judecca and Nebigeim, but Kyosuke counters
her that he already see a victory on the horizon, if Judecca's destroy then
the battle's won, he won't let this chance go, it's time for him to unveil
his joker.  Rebi starts to realize that the power the Aerogater were trying
to harvest has become a double edged sword and she screams that she'll
destroy them all but Masaki shouted back for her to shut up and see who's
underestimating who now!!! He tells her that Rebi and the Aerogater are like
spoiled brat and bad losers who loves to tip over the table when they are
losing. Rebi retorted back that she has all their data, they can't win, but
Masaki says that Data are only records of yesterday and they have grown
since yesterday, taste our power!!!

Kyosuke leads the final charge, he says to all unit "Assault 1 to all units,
let's end this" "I'm putting everything into this bet, all  money's on the
table, no regrets, this is our final card"

Ryune then shouts " Right, the future that my Dad left us, we'll protect it
with our own hands"

Excellen " I guess that goes for everybody"

Masaki  " Let's end this, for the sake of this planet's tomorrow,our future
we  will grab with  these hands of ours !!!!"

And they charged Judecca one last time and finished it off. Rebi then
laughed saying that by destroying Judecca, they have doomed their home
planet, because the last invader is where it all started and Judecca was the
only thing keeping it dormant, with it gone, it will activate and consumes
the Earth. Rebi dies as the explosion from the Judecca consumes her.  Ryouto
then knows what Rebi was talking about, the Meteor 3, everything began
there, and it was probably an Aerogater weapon in disguise. The team must
now go to their TRUE FINAL mission.


Stage 42,

Meanwhile back on Earth, Kai is monitoring the attack on Meteor 3 and the
results are not good, all attacking forces have been absorbed by it. He is
told that the Kurogane and HiryuKai is headed for it and wished them luck in
the final battle.

They find Meteor 3, now fully functional, it WAS a final weapon of the
Aerogater aimed at Earth, it spewed out copies of assimilated DC forces,
Federation forces and Aeogater forces. Charter says that if they fail
they'll get assimilated as well and becomes a part of it, a fate worse than
becoming weapons for Aerogater. Garnette tells him to stop it, she's going
to live, she's going to go back, and don't Charter DARE DIE ON HER.

Daitetsu says that they won't be beaten by a rock no matter how alien it is,
For the sake of this planet's tomorrow, chimed in Refina, all units
deploy!!!

Meteor 3 announced itself; it is Septagin the last invader
The battle is fierce and Septagin spews out a lot of strong unit when
damaged enough and goes haywire after that and Daitetsu tells the team to
finish it off in 5 minutes, they do and their battle, against DC, against
the DC remnant against the Aerogater is finally at an end.

Aya, Rai, Ryusei and Rada talks together, Aya confirms it with Rada that
Rebi was probably Mai Kobayashi who was taken by Ingram and brainwashed.
Ryusei asked whether destroying her and Judecca was the only way and Rai
says it was. Aya says that Ingram tells her before his death not to be mired
by the past and to forge new future and that is what she will do, beside she
has this weird feelings that she can meet Ingram and Mai (Rebi) elsewhere,
she doesn't understand it but knows it to be true  (Alpha continuity anyone?
So Ingram's still alive there then?)

Gillaim and Viletta talks, He asked her who she really is, she says that her
real name is Viletta Prisken, not Viletta Badem as the other know her, she
was created from a part of Ingram (cue biblical reference of Adam and Eve)
to act on Ingram's behalf once he become inable to act with his own free
will. She was created when Judecca's control over Ingram was not strong
which means that he never subjected her to Judecca's control. To Judecca,
she was an irregular, out of its control, which is why Ingram sent her away
to be with the Hagane and HiryuKai when he starts to become completely
controlled, she would complete his true will. So in a sense, she says, she
is a double agent, although she doesn't plan on telling the other this.
Gilliam asked her what she knows about the Aerogater and Ingram. She tells
him that Ingram was sent along with the Judecca by the creator, Aerogater
whom they know as Balmar, to travel space and collect samples to be remolded
as weapons and they traveled space for an unknown amount of time before
arriving on Earth and determining that Earth was perfect. Somehow Ingram
awake not totally under Judecca's control and wants to be free, rebelling
against his instruction, he plans all this and create Viletta to achieve his
true objective to be achieve when he couldn't resist anymore. She doesn't
know whether Balmar is still out there or if they are still alive. Gilliam
notes that the "aerogaters" who appeared at the South Pole could have been a
different batch than Ingram and the Judecca or it could mean that there is
more than one race of alien out there in the universe, whatever the case,
this dimension is turning out to be more than he expected. He asked Viletta
to come with him back to the information bureau to work with him in gatheing
information on the Aerogaters and other things but she declined saying that
Ingram wants her to be a team with Rai, Ryusei, and Aya and to train them
further, and she will respect that last wish not because she is told to but
because she wants to.

John and Refina along with Tasku, Russell and Kachina are leaving for the
Asteroid base Icaros (Where in Alpha continuity, Gunbuster went there after
the Balmar war). Kachina says goodbye to Kyosuke saying that while she might
not get to be a test pilot like him, it was fun being with them. Although
she is taking a memento, Kyosuke's old Gesphent which became her Red
Gesphent to remember them by.

Tasku wants Leona to go with him but can't find the courage to ask her, When
the others tell him to be brave because this might be the last time he meets
her, he screws up the courage to asked her, extremely awkwardly, Leona looks
at him coldly for a minute before accepting his offer. However she wonder
whether there is a place and enough supply in the HiryuKai if she also comes
along and Kachina says that she listed her team as four members, herself,
Russell, Tasku and Leona.   Leona says to Tasku before they leave to join
the Hiryu that if Tasku EVER cheats on her, she'll make him live to regret
it. As she leaves, Tasku wonder whether he made the right choice.

Refina tells Tetsuya that it was nice meeting him and reassure him that he
will one day become a GREAT captain just like Daitetsu. Daitetsu says
farewell to John and hope they will meet again one day

Ryusei meets Charter and Garnette who are leaving the military to get
married. They haven't set a date yet but will invite everybody when they do.
They relate to him their meeting with Ratouni. Apparently Ratouni still
wants to be in the military to find her old friend from the school, Arad,
Seora and one other whose name I forgot, she knows they have to be alive and
she will find them, which is why Gai will take her under his wing and help
her. Charter and Garnette tells her that to them, she will always be their
little daughter and that by the time she comes back from searching, she
might have a little brother or sister to call her own, which led Gai to
wonder when did they "do it"

Rada, Ilm, Ryouto and Rio will leave the military to be test pilot for Mao
industries. Jonathan welcomes Ilm back at the base and Ilm says that his dad
now doesn't have to raid his little black book for the girls he marked but
an unexpected visitor Rin heard him and says a bit angrily that she and Ilm
needs to have a LONG talk. Rio is welcome by her dad and Ryouto apparently
beginning a relationship with Rio finally meets his girlfriend's father
which shocked him that his little baby has a boyfriend now. Of course Ryouto
lets it slip while talking to Rio's dad that his family runs a dojo (martial
art house) and Rio peeved that Ryouto didn't tell her this challenged Ryouto
to a duel once they reach Mao industry. Ryouto asked if Rio knows Martial
art and Rio says no but she won't Ryouto to be better than her in anything.
(Way too competitive person here)

Kyosuke and the ATX team are leaving for their old North American base, it
got demolished during the beginning of the DC war, but it is repaired, Rob
says that with the war over, the government is planning a freeze on PT and
AM production and Excellen wonder if that means that their mech like
Weizbritter and Altaisen will be destroyed, Rob says that the current mech
available will still be needed to protect the peace, but to show that it is
serious about peace, the Federation has order halt to the development and
production of Grungust Sanshiki and Hyukebine MkIII (which has EOT tech in
them, I guess)  and Ryusei wonder when THESE things were ever made.  Dr.
Marion says that hasn't discouraged her, she is planning on creating the
Bilt Bilgar, Bilt Falgen, and of course the upgrade to Altaisen (can you say
Altaisen Rieze) all with Earth technologies. Excellen tries to get a word in
to Dr. Marrion to upgrade her little old Weiz, and not to leave it alone.
Marrion says that she'll look into it.

Kyosuke, Excellen, Ryusei and the rest meets Masaki and Ryune. Masaki is
intent on going after Shu once more now that the danger is passed, saying
that someone like him can't be left alone to plan whatever he has in mind.
The other thanks him for his help and he says that whenever they need the
Masoukishin's power once more, he will be there for them. Ryusei says to
leave the well-being of Upper Earth to them and for Masaki to go do his
business be it here or Lar Gias. Ryune doesn't plan to stay in the military
since it doesn't suit her and also because her dad was the one who started a
war with the Fed. She plans to go back into outer space to investigate
Jupiter perhaps.

Brit asked Kusuha whether what she want to do next is really Ok with her,
she says that while it might be hard for her to leave Ryusei, she wants to
go with Brit, but not as a pilot, she plans to become a doctor and that will
be a job more suited for her than piloting, and she'll go to the North
American base with Brit to train there and be there for him and the rest of
the ATX team.

Kyosuke and Excellen says farewell to Ryusei, Aya, and Rai saying to leave
the well-being of the Western continents to them and for them to take care
of the East, Kyosuke notes that Zengar and Elzam are gone like the wind, but
he knows that they'll reappear and they will meet once again when the Earth
is in danger. Kyosuke tells Excellen to hurry up since Brit and the others
are waiting in the transport plane. Excellen ask if they couldn't wait a
minute so that they could kiss, and Kyosuke agrees and the two kiss in each
other's embrace (Enjoy it, when the Einst comes there's gonna be more
trouble on the corner)

Aya tells Ryusei that their mech is getting an overhaul and that they are
free to take a leave for a while, she is staying to supervise the overhaul
and she suggest that Ryusei go home to visit his mom since Rai has already
left.

Rai visited the grave of his sister in law, Elzam's brother, he is greeted
by Princess Shine who has come to meet him, he tells her that his dead
sister in law was a great influence for him and that is why he has taken her
maiden name as his middle name, Raidis Fujiwara Flashtein. Shine then asked
whether the bouquet at the grave is his and he says it isn't and smile
knowing that his brother was probably here before him to honor his late-
wife.

Ryusei arrived home and finds Kusuha's letter which tells him that she went
with Brit to become a doctor and Ryusei, though a bit sad that she isn't
here anymore with him is happy for her and Brit, he rings the bell and his
mom greets him, Ryusei says to his mom " I'm home, Mom"
