The engine was developed by Raul and his male friend (forgot name)'s father originally to be use to power a timemachine before their death. After showing off the Excellence's Gunner, Striker and CosmoDriver frame, Raul hear an ominous voice and your test enemies starts attacking with real ammo totalling the base with only Raul and his friend surviving. They send out an SOS which is intercepted by the Nadesico B and the RaKairum. As always Aestevalis gains energy from the Nadesico and you only have Regz and Jegan from the RaKairum to help. Kill the units with replenishable item before they use it to gain it. This is especially important since you won't get Healing units until at least stage 5 or 7 so they're the only things beside spells that will help. Afterward, Raul must choose whose ship they will go with to be deposited elsewhere. I chose the POD route. ======================================================================= Episode 2 ======================================================================= Raul's friend is an energy researcher and he is very interested in the Boson Jump that they use to go to Amaterasu colony. The Nadesico was enrouted to it when it recieve Raul's distress call. They've been sent to investigate a ghost robot that is wrecking havok here and arrives in the midst of battle where the ghost robot have already entered Amaterasu. Ryoko is here and she is deep in ( I think,) Cargo 13 or something which isn't suppose to exist. The Nadesico B enters and along with the Excellence has to battle automatic defense system. Along the way, Raul and the others learned that Ruri was once adopted by an A Class Jumper couple who has since died, or did they ? Raul will be stuck with the Striker frame and Cosmo Driver Frame, I suggest using Striker for a while since it's not in space. After killing them all. POD Akito finally appears and hack into the system revealing the Martian BlackBox with Yurika sticking out from it. More enemies arrive and the boss (whose name I forgot) will retreat and takes his lackey with him so kill him last. Also, his monk honorguard are very agile, use concentrate against them. Afterward, Kusanabe, the Martian Succesor's leader decide to blow up the colony and the Nadesico B beats a retreat to Earth, and Raul learns that it was Akito and Yurika who adopted Ruri after marrying.Of course Ryoko is pissed at the way things turned out and having to leave Yurika there but she tags along. ======================================================================= Episode 3 ======================================================================= Arriving back on Earth, The Nadesico crew met up with Prospecter who says that his name is just a nickname They decide to put back the old Nadesico team with Nergal's help since the New Federation are being attacked by Martian Successor. Raul and his two friends also learn of the Jovian war between Earth and the Jovian which later ended in peace. They didn't know this because they spend all their time in the lab on the moon every day for decades developing the Excellence. They saw Char's broadcast of wanting to push Axis down on Earth and his reasons. Ruri has a conversation with Bright who confirm that they can't do much against the Martian Successor since they are busy against Char, it's all up to the Nadesico team. Many of the New Federation's force are destroyed by the Martian Successor. Ruri visits Akito and Yurika's grave to find him there and the Martian Succesor's evil ninja shadow (again I forgot their real name) team again who decide to take Akito. This is because they are using Yurika's love for Akito and her A class Jumper ability to warp their mech all over the place destroying the New Federation's force. But the real Akito could destroy her machine induced dreams. They attack but Akito and Ruri are saved by Tsukiyomi who said that he betrayed his friend, betray the Jupitorian and is now Nergal's dog. Of course this leads to a fight which is joined by Raul and the Nadesico B, the old Aestevalis team who reunites and Tsukiyomi. Put the Nadesico near the grassy square in the city and let the enemies come to you. Once the Boss is within range, kill him, don't let him run, and kill him fast otherwise after some turn ,Butcher pops up and whathisname decides to attack the Nadesico leaving it with 1000 Hp, unable to move and runs anyway. You're better off with a Nadesico at full HP and the items from him though still unable to move. Of course the Nadesico team especially Ryoko recognizes Butcher and she screams as to how Butcher can be alive especially considering the fact that Uchuuta and Keiko of Zambot 3 had to sacrifice their life to kill him last time. Butcher said that he WAS destroyed but Kaizoku revived him once again. Kill Butcher but beware his Map weapon, most of the enemies have low hit rates against the Aestevalis anyway. Afterward, Ryoko and the rest of the Nadesico team wonders whether they should contact Kappei or not but since Kappei has his own life to live now after losing everybody (like in TV continuity) and with no Zambot 3 around anymore, (the component parts probably got destroy in the final battle) they decide not to. With the Nadesico B damaged, Uribatake Seiya, the old Nadesico mechanic at Nergal unveils the Nadesico C to be used against the Martian Succesor. ======================================================================= Episode 4 ======================================================================= Using the A class jumper ability of Inez Franchez who with Nergal's help faked her death, the Nadesico team arrive at the Martian Successor's headquarter for a final showdown, Of course they tuned in to Dekim Barton's speech about the strength of the New Federation that was founded by Maremia in a coup de at some years back first before the battle. Ruri plans to hack into their computer using Omoikane to shut their system leaving them powerless except......... IT DOESN"T WORK Ruri was not able to even hack into one of their mainframe, and something worse is happening, the Martian Succesor have surrounded them with live units, what's worse ,the Nadesico C and Omoikane has shut down thus unable to move. When Inez decides to bosom jump them out of the jam, a mysterious voice which Raul recognize as the one who disrupt their moon test back in Episode 1 rangs out. " Oh no you don't you old hag," and an explosion rocks the Nadesico C where Inez is, killing her immediately. It's up to the team to play defense and defeat them all. Most of the surrounding enemies are no match for the Aestevalis team and Akito. Just make sure Raul doesn't die, he will be in the default Striker frame. After killing off every enemies, The Nadesico decides to retreat but is surrounded again. Ruri decides to surrender to the Martian Succesor when Raul pops out of the Nadesico again and demands to know who is behind this, and the mysterious stranger, or creature known as Duminus oblige. I don't know what he said since I didn't pay attention, but he crippled the Excellence in one shot and when Mitsuho (the mechanic) and the other guy trys to use the CosmoStriker Frame to haul Raul back into the Nadesico, Duminus attacks the Nadesico, SINKING it within two shots. This more or less surprised the Martian Succesor as well and while this is happening, the Excellence's time engine goes out of control and the last thing Raul hear beside his friends' scream is Ruri saying to Hari " I'm sorry" and the Nadesico explodes and Raul and his friend is transported back in time. They are discovered by Garrison and Banjou in the Mars colony 5 years ago. ======================================================================= Episode 5 ======================================================================= When Raul wakes up, he is greeted by a decidely different Akito who hasn't been experimented on and has his sense rewired. He was the last of the trio to revive and is filled in on the year being Space Century 136 instead of 141 where they were some hours ago. Raul also got a nice response from Yurika when he remembers her as Mrs. Tenkawa and she more or less bugs Akito about them together (yet again) The team meet the TV version of the Aestevais team, Ryoko, Hikaru, Izumi and of course there's Gai Daigouji, who is pissed that they recognize the other but doesn't recognize him. Raul is also introduced to Banjo and the rest and they learn that the Nadesico is here on Mars with Daitarn 3 to rescue those in the settlement from the Jovian Lizard ( whom Raul knows as just the Jovian Army) and from the Mechanoid. The trio decides to check the library for information on what's up 5 years ago. They learn that Dekim Barton hasn't had his Coup yet and the complete peace movement is still going. The Dinosaur Army has resurface with Emperor Gol alive. The Earth is being invaded by Boazan, Campbell and also the new Mikene forces which defeated Mazinger Z in it's initial assault but was driven back by Great Mazinger. Of course there's also the Neo Zeon but not led by Char but by some woman named Haman and the Jovian and the Mechanoid. Sometime after this they found the settlement and met Inez Franchez for the first time and she and the others refuse to be moved back but Akito tells them of how he escaped the Jovian by suddenly popping to Earth and how he wish he could come to save everyone which led them to change their mind. JovianLizard attacks which cause Yurika to decide to expand the field to protect Nadesico but would kill everyone in the settlement. Of course with the Excellence ( whose Striker frame survived only ) and Daitarn 3 not to mention the Aestevais team around, they decide not to do that but protect the Nadesico while having the settlement people move into Nadesico. After defeating the Jovian Lizard, it seems that someone is in the Daimajin you defeated and is making a run for safety but he is stopped by Garrison. Afterward Koros and the Mechanoid appears to more or less kill you. The Nadesico is at a loss on how to escape when they decide to enter the Tulip behind Kolos, Raul, knowing that Akito, Yurika and Inez are A class Jumper but most of them don't know that tells them that when they go in there, just think of Earth. And after you kill the Mechanoid or just get the Nadesico in there, it worked and Raul and his friends consult each others and agreed that they'll say that it's a miracle that is accomplished by a human heart rather than what it is (an A class Jumper Bosonjumping) They decide to interrogate the Daimajin pilot which is Tsukumo ======================================================================= Episode 6 ======================================================================= Interrogating Shiratori, they find out about the Jovian and learn the history of how they were colonist who were driven away from Earth and build their culture on Gekiganger 3. Gai apologize for fighting a fellow Gekiganger 3 fan and invites Shiratori to view all episode of Gekiganger with him, promising to make copies of all episodes for him later. Garrison also ask for a copy as well since he watched this show as a kid himself. In the midst of the night, Shiratori slips away and tries to get out only to meet with Minato, Megumi, Raul and his three friends who decides to help him escape, which surprises Shiratori. Raul and his friends, however have an ulterior motive, they believe that by doing this, it will lead to the first step in the peace established by the Jovian and Earth in their time. However the moon base Von Braun where they are heading for resupply is attack by the Jovian and Megumi and Minato ask Shiratori to persuade the person attacking to stop seeing as how Von Braun is full of civilians. They all scramble in the Excellence and meets Tsukiyomi. However with the Nadesico coming after them, Tsukiyomi decides that there isn't just civilians here but also military weapons and decides to attack. Gai is especially furious at Shiratori for deceiving him but since it's a middle of a fight, he can't do anything. Change your Aestevalis frames into OG before this because it is in space and the wrong frame can prove fatal. As for the Excellence, since it's only frame is Striker which is made for Earth use, it is not very powerful in this stage. Putting the Excellence next to Tsukiyomi will promptly end this battle as Shiratori persuade his friend to stop the attack saying that they decide to free him before the attack. Raul recognize Tsukiyomi from when they met in Stage 3 in his time. (Of course he wasn't around when the Tsukiyomi in Stage 3 admits to betraying his friend, what a shame.) Afterward the Kalfor army arrives and so does Dendoh from GEARS who oppose them, Yurika wonders whether Dendoh is a friend or enemy, she is told by Prospector that it is a friend, she then wonders about the Dendoh-like character (would someone tell me what he's called ?) with the enemy and ask whether that's a friend too? The answer was no. The Unicorn Data Weapon appear and both Dendoh and Grill face(temporary name) decides to get it to add it to their weaponry. Get Dendoh there first using Kazoku and delaying Grill face with Daitarn. He will retreat if his Hp drops below 4000-5000 (not too sure here) so use a nekketsu combination attack by the Aestevalis team combined with a support attack to kill him. Meeting up with Dendoh, the team is contacted by Lady Une and Megumi and Minato are reprimanded for their action though they and Raul gets off lightly since the action might lead to peace with the Jovian like Raul predicted. Raul learns that Lady Une is of the Preventers which is an arm of the complete peace movement by Relena Dorian. It coordinates with the Freeden team, GEARS, the Neo Getter Team, the Mazinger Team on Earth and AUEGO in space to try to end the fighting. The Nadesico is then asked to meet with the others at GEARS headquarter in Japan At GEARS headquarter, Raul and the other are introduced to Jamill and the GX team who rescued Amuro in his Zeta days along with Tifa from a military base. They also met the Neo Getter Team (there goes any hope of getting the old team in the original Getter). They met Noin of the Preventer who recognizes Beauty and Reika of Daitarn 3 from when they were working with the Preventers. They also met Dendoh's pilot, Ginga and Hokuto (correct me if I'm wrong on the name) who are just school kids and Vega the female masked commander. Dendoh runs on two gigantic electric rods which could power Tokyo for two years. This shocks Raj ( I think that's his name ) who is an energy researcher (Reminds me of those walking robot toys with light up eyes that I used to have as a kid that required two AA batteries, Dendoh's just an oversized version of this ) ======================================================================= Episode 7 ======================================================================= All of the team goes to an Amusement Park runs by a man named Edwin for a bit of rest and relaxation. Mitsuho, your mechanic who has never been to an amusement park before in her life because the colonies she was born in can't fit one in is taken by Raul who is bugged by Beauty and Reika to take her. Of course, Akito is bugged by Yurika to take her as well. The amusement park is having a benefit show starring the Mazinger team for the children to make them forget the attacks by the Mikene and others. Of course this infuriates Ankoku Daishogun but he is told by his master, The Mikene Emperor to use this to their advantage because the Mazinger will have innocents to protect there. Meanwhile Raj is extremely thrilled at having the chance to actually see a Photonic Engine which is used by the Mazingers. Mitsuho and Raul talks after seeing a rainbow and it's obvious that she likes him but she skips around the issue and talk about how they got here, if they die, will they make any impact on history, that sort of thing. Raul said that they won't die, they'll return to their own time and assures her that the Excellence frame that she create can handle anything. Mitsuho said that it's only one frame, they need more. They met up with Akito and Yurika when the show starts. The Mazinger Team appears to the delight of children there but suddenly so does Ankoku Daishogun who mocks the idea of the benefit and starts firing on the children. Great Mazinger rushed and take the hit for them and while they are evacuating, he keeps taking attack and his Hp drops to 10 and Great couldn't move. The Nadesico and Freeden arrives and deploys, it is also aided by Mazinger Z who is still capable of moving and fighting. Ankoku retreats at around below 4000 so use support attack by your main character to finish him along with Daisharin Rocket Punch. After that, Edwin decides to show his hands, he's a Mechanoid, the true purpose of the benefit is to capture children to turn them into Mechanoid footsolider and also to capture the double Mazinger for Mechanoid use, but the Mikene interfere, now he'll complete his plans, but Banjou appear and says that he know who Edwin is and had already wrecked Edwin's plan. Banjou is especially furious at Edwin who had sold his soul to the Mechanoid and betrayed the dreams of children everywhere, and also because as a kid, he once saw Edwin perform his magic tricks from the front row and is in awe of him. Edwin HP recovers so pounce on him with lots of units. Afterward, Raul and the other finds out that though Tetsuya did not suffer any severe injury, he needs sometime to rest and heal. The Great is also severely damaged, especially it's photonic engine which needs to be replaced, so Venus Ace volunteer to take Great and Tetsuya back to be repaired, leaving only Mazinger Z and the other two to join for now. Mitsuho is a bit traumatize at seeing Great damaged and Tetsuya injured, she won't let this happen to Raul and decides to recreate the destroyed Excellence frames. Meanwhile Uribatake Seiya adds new weaponry to the Aestevais , the Field Lancer to be used against Distortion Fields. The kids whom Tetsuya saved comes up toGai and the other to ask if he's well and asks to give him flowers, Gai takes the flower from them saying that Tetsuya's fine and he'll give the flowers to them. It's this type of thanks that really fuels Gai and the others to end this unrest, of course in a SRW first, Amuro whines about never getting thanks for his piloting and is told ,very nicely, that they don't actually do this for thanks, in other words, Shut Up. ======================================================================= Episode 8 ======================================================================= Since Raul's group is a collection of many organization and mecha, it is decided that they need an all encompassing name for their alliance, and after 8 hours of thinking, Round Knight ( or whatever you want) is chosen. GEARS headquarter also receive words from the colony that 5 mobile suits are rushing to Earth which made Amuro wonder whether it's THOSE five. (and it's not the Wing team) After that, it seems that the Kaizoku is destroying the city and what's worse, Relena Dorian has decided to try and negotiate peace with them. Theories on her temporary insanity are abound but what most of the people think is that she wants to show that the complete peace movement is not as useless, powerless and foolish as detractors says it is. The Round Knight team says while scrambling to her rescue that someone must have confuse complete peace with no resistance. Zanbot 3 is also enrooted from the King Bial ship to confront Kaizoku and Raul more or less remembers what the Ryoko from his timeline said, that two of the Zambot's pilots died fighting them. Butcher the Killer has his audience with Relena who tries to negotiate peace with him, but after lots of chit chat, Butcher had her and her guard up on the Bound Dog's roof forcefully wanting to learn whether a heavy Federation Guard or the slim, thin Relena Dorian, who will hit the pavement first if he pushes both of them down at the same time.( Any idiots who knows physics can answer that!!) While Gaia Saviour tries to reach Relena who is pushed, from out of the blue comes Wing Gundam Zero Custom to save her. Once Relena is rescued, the Bound Dog is invaded by Duo, Kappei's grandfather and former Getter Pilot Nagare Ryouma. After fighting for a while, the trio set off explosion within the Bound Dog and confronts Butcher, who wants to kill them but is told by his master Kaizoku to beat a retreat. Devil Gundam then appear which confuse Hayato ,Fa and Amuro who remembers the Devil Gundam was destroyed. Then Domon and the Shuffle Alliance appear saying that somehow the Devil Gundam has been resurrected (Apparently all the events of G Gundam happens before this game) Once they defeated them all, Relena is berated by Kappei , a kid of all people, for her foolishness, and to chose the partner for peace a little better next time. Ryouma, Duo and Heero decides to leave saying that there's more work to be done. The Zambot pilots are introduced to the RK team and Raul looks at Uchuuta and Keiko intently knowing that they are fated to die which cause them to ask why he's looking at them funnily. Somehow according to Domon, the Devil had been resurrected by unknown forces and the Shuffle alliance had to defeat it again, when asked by Fa about Rain, Domon said that Rain is still doing maintenance on the God Gundam back at their colony. Meanwhile a mysterious voice talks to someone called Des* who turns out to be a cute 7-8 year old blue hair girl to go to Earth and start their plans using the Devil Gundams ( that's right, it seems the DG is multiplying) Back at GEARS base,Mitsuho finished the Gunner frame ======================================================================= Episode 9 ======================================================================= At GEARS headquarter, there is talk about Dendoh and the Kalfa army. It seems Dendoh is just something the GEARS found from space and the odds of the Kalfa originating the Dendoh technology is high but higher is that they also found the technology from their own Dendoh knight. There is also talk about how both them and Kalfa are trying to find the 6 Data Weapon because of their powers, and how the Data Weapon selects it's master and will leave if it's master no longer possess the necessary trait or personality that it wants. All this talk about Dendoh makes Ginga cocky and he thinks that with the Unicorn drive that Hokuto saved, they could defeat Kaizoku, Kalfa, etc. They learn of Kalfa's attack to find the new data weapon and Dendoh and the other scrambles. Dendoh face off against Altea and his Grill faced Dendoh and on Ginga's insistence, Hokuto fired the Unicorn Drill Final Attack which missed and Altea counter attacked. With Dendoh injured, the rest of the team scramble but the Data Weapon appeared first, the Hyper Whip( a snake) and both Dendoh and it's counterpart tries to save it but Ginga is shaken badly by the Final Attack missing and is lacking confidence, which is what the Data Weapon needs and the HyperWhip now belongs to Altea who promptly used it against Dendoh saying that the Dendoh pilots are too amateurish relying just on the Data Weapon's power. After almost finishing off Dendoh, Altea fired off his Final Attack but the Excellence jumps in to defend Dendoh and gets blown up which makes Mitsuho screams,but Raul survives in his cockpit. Having used up all his EN, Altea retreats and Ginga is visibly shocked at losing totally and completely to Altea. The lackey seeing Dendoh near death order their troops to attack it to gain the Unicorn Drill. After finishing them off, Neo Zeon forces along with the Frost Brothers comes out demanding Tifa and Amuro Ray. The Frost Brother retreats if you beat them within 2000-3000 HP leaving Rakan Dagaran to fend for himself. Afterward Kappei tries to cheer up Ginga but since they're both antagonistic in their relation to each other, they almost end up fighting. Ginga and Hokuto goes home depressed. It is also a shock to the others that Vega also goes home to make dinner for her kids.( who I'll guess is Hokuto) Meanwhile Uribatake and the technician at GEARS look at Mitsuho's plan for the Excellence when she is asleep and it seems that she had jotted down ideas for powering up the Aestevalis as well but the technology is lacking for now, it's up to Uribatake to create the technology. (Note: I'm not sure if this is a result of taking the POD route early on, it makes sense storywise for Mitsuho to know the technological know how of the Super Aestevalis from their time from going with them.) ======================================================================= Episode 10 ======================================================================= There is a meeting of the Mikene, Dinosaur Empire, Boazan and Campbell, they have decided to work together and stop fighting amongst themselves for now. Most accept the alliance for now planning to betray each other later. The Dinosaur Empire decides to go at it against Round Knight first to show it's worth. Meanwhile Ginga is depressed big time, he can't get over the fact that he lost completely and utterly, what's more is that he lost where it counts, the heart, he couldn't get the Data weapon but Altea did. Chibodee comes and try to give him a pep talk saying that he's faced fear himself too, when the Devil Gundam first appear in Tokyo and he got defeated by it and Master and also other times in the ring but he took the experience and faced his fear to go at it again with his opponents. The alarm rings, it is the Dinosaur Empire, Hokuto wants to scramble, but Ginga doesn't and turn in his device saying that he doesn't want anything to do with GEARS and Dendoh anymore, there's other to fight, and they're just kids. Hokuto smacked him hard saying that he's scared too.. but.. he knows they can't quit. On the battlefield, with the battle about to start, Texas Mach comes out to rescue everybody and Jack calls Gou a PocketMonkey and a Mountain Monkey, to which Gou's level of schooling took a while before he understood that someone had just called him names. Of course, with Jack's stereotypical Americanized Japanese, Chibodee shouts at him to stop it lest other people get the wrong idea about Americans, to which Jack said that it's just minor stuff. Noin also notes that not many people call themselves American or Japanese anymore after the world was united. After a while, Gareri appeared and wrecked some building, to which Ginga's mom and other civilians are near, Ginga saw this and calls on Dendoh to rescue them. This courage entice the new Data Weapon, Leon (lion)something to come out and Altea and the rest of Kalfar appear to take the Data weapon. Defeat them all, but Altea runs around 4000-5000Hp and the Lion will recognize Ginga as it's master. Back at the Mikene base, Bat and Gareri are berated by the others for failing dismally and they snarled in their minds "just wait until Emperor Gol is revive, then we'll see who's laughing" ======================================================================= Episode 11 ======================================================================= Mizuho has completed the Winger frame and it is ready to be used. Meanwhile Gremi, Rakan and the Frost Brothers plans their next move, they are joined by Wu-fei who is here as an agent of Dekim Barton. The Frost Brothers says that it is hard for them to defeat the Round Knight without getting more firepower, so they introduce three people that they picked from the Newtype Army that Neo Zeon has. However they need to find the Round Knight's base to get Tifa and Amuro and their scheming is interrupted by Des* who, more or less sounds like a shy nice girl who stutters a bit saying that she would like to help them get the Round Knight. They wonder how she got in and saw the bodies of NeoZeon soliders everywhere and ask whether they're dead? She said No, if they receive immediate hospitalisation. They threaten her but amidst her timidity comes a lot of Devil Gundam ready to wreck the place and they give in to her request, knowing full well, this isn't an ordinary child. Des* is greeted by a pink haired boy (forgot name) who asked whether things went well. Des* asked him whether how long they have to do this? To which there isn't much of an answer. Des* have the Devil Gundam wreck havok on a city, meanwhile Ginga, Hokuto have to go to school, this prompt Tifa to wonder what school is like and wants to go, Garrod of course decline to go because he's learn a lot more on the street than in school, Kouji and Sayaka should also be in school but it got wrecked during the fighting so they are on hiatus. Gou said that he has no need for school to which Jack replie to Tifa to not be like this mountain monkey. When the call come to scramble, the Flyer frame is selected though Raul doesn't have experience in flight before but Gai said that he'll teach him along the way and that he'll cover him if needed, to which the other Aestevalis pilot said that the reverse is probably bound to happen and Gai is just asking to die isn't he, to which Gai replys that the Main hero NEVER die. Taking on the Devil Gundam, the Shuffle Alliance finds that it is piloted by a man thought dead, Toho Fuhai, who is in the condition Domon left him in after their final battle on Randao Island. Allenby pops up and says to Domon that that is the real Toho Fuhai. After defeating him, Ragan and the rest pops up, complaining that Des* lure them out true, but she hasn't lead them to their base, to which Des* could only meekly apologize. Dendoh pops up too, using their time in Lunch Break to come and help. Noin will notice Wufei and wonder why he is with the Neo Zeon, Heero will then pop up to take him on. Most of the Neo Zeon force are easy to kill even the three new type team folds easily. Afterward Tifa decides not to go to school fearing that she is more easily targeted there and she doesn't want to cause any damage to a school and their people. Allenby is introduced to the other and they wonder whether she is a Shuffle Alliance or not, Domon says No but Allenby say she is the 6th member of the usual 5 member team like in the current trends of Sentai (taskforce) heroes with it's 6th member. Allenby's story is one that people find hard to believe, she was tracking a different Devil Gundam to Randao Island where Domon had his final showdown with Master and she wonders whether Toho's ghost would be angry at them for letting the world still be full of war and damage after his death. She then saw a girl, Des*, raised Toho Fuhai from the Dead. If that doesn't creep you out about this Alfimy MkII girl, nothing will. Apparently R also stands for Resurrection, maybe there's still hope for Musashi after all (heh heh) Allenby passed out from seeing this resurrection and when she came to, she tracked him down to where they were fighting. Meanwhile Ragan was furious at Des* and had a gun to her head to which she meekly points up and they get the point that the Devil Gundam will destroy them all if they try to harm her, and she leaves. ======================================================================= Episode 12 ======================================================================= The news that Tetsuya had recovered from his wounds and that the Great was repaired had reached the Round Knights and Kouji and the others decide to go there to meet him. Banjou, his assistants and Noin also decide to go visit because they heard that a man named Shinichiro who worked there had disappeared. Shinichiro was an acquaintance of Banjou's assistant and Noin because he was a supporter of peace. He had grown tired of the fighting and wishes it to stop so that there would be peace. To this end, he manage to contact the Mikene so that they could enter peace negotiation. Half amused, the Mikene Emperor said that they will consider a meeting if Shinichiro shows his sincerity by allowing himself to be transformed into a Sentojuu. Meanwhile Tetsuya is wondering why Kouji and the others are here, and with dried flowers as well, it was explained that these were the flowers bought for him by the kids he defended in Episode 7, they had wanted to give it to Tetsuya but Jun already flew them back. Tetsuya then gratefully accepts the flower. Kouji and Tetsuya then talked to Dr. Kabuto about his plans for the Mass-produced Great and how the Mazingers can be gods and devil depending on the pilot wondering whether his plan is such a wise move. At the Campbell's headquarter, Janera and the others are marvelling at the completion of a mysterious object. When Shinchiro arrives at the Great Mazinger base, he is met and attacked by Great and Venus before he was able to convince them that he is who he is. By this time the others RK have joined the battle and is waiting to attack but Shinchiro began talking about how he had made contact with the Emperor and how the Emperor would consider ending the battle with the humans if they would lay down their arms and end the wars. Jun said that while Shinichiro's intention are good, he went about it in the wrong way, even if people stop fighting, it would not be peace because the problem is still there, only when both side want to end it and works toward a solution will there be peace he's just been used by the Mikene Then the base explode and Mikene underlings invaded which confirms what Tetsuya said that Shinichiro was just there to bide times for them. AnkokuDaishogun remote controlled Shinichiro's body into attacking and saying that he will explode in three minutes. Ankoku tells Shinichiro not to worry, the Mikene WILL make peace with the humans, once everyone is their slaves. Shinchiro, feeling hatred at being used and not wanting to die a dog's death asked Jun and Tetsuya to kill them. Kouji and the rest are scrambled out while Garrison, Beauty, Reika and Dr. Kabuto handles the invaders Along the way, Combattra V appeared and the RK wonder if it is here to help, then other Campbell forces appear and they along with Combattra attacked the RK. Sensing evil intent from Combattra, the team counterattack and the mysterious pilot of Combattra decide that this is enough and next is the Nanbara connection. After the battle, Tetsuya was furious at Relena because he believes that the complete peace movement of her led to Shinichiro's mistaken notion of no war equals peace and he had some angry words with her. However the others remind him that the polar opposite of this, such as arming every one with weapons will probably lead to endless war and create more orphans like Tetsuya and Jun. Back at Mikene base, Ankoku Daishogun was furious at the Campbell for interfering, they counter with that they were just chasing Combattra V when it flew into that area. Ankoku then retorted as to why the devil was Combattra then attacking the RK in conjunction with the Campbell and the Campbell not attacking Combattra at all in the battle. Walkimedes then counter that the pilots probably have brain damages from the methods used to let them learn how to pilot Combattra, and as for the other question, he left it with a mysterious chuckle. ======================================================================= Episode 12 part 2 ======================================================================= Back at GEARS base, their leader has contacted Bright Noah who confirm that the Neil Agama is coming back to Earth in a while, and that he also has to rely on kids as pilots like the RK because of understaffing. Meanwhile the teams are trying to get a hold of Nambara Connection to see why Combattra was behaving strangely when it appear to attack them and found that the Combattra team hasn't deployed at all and the Battle Machines are still kept in storage with no records of having been used today. They then received news that Combattra V has been going on a rampage across the Earth snapping the Eifel tower, melting the statue of liberty,etc. The team wonder whether the Combattra team had gone bad or mad, what's worse, angry citizens are demanding that the Nambara connection destroys Combattler V. Another news from Kappei's grandfather is that they had found the Bound Dog recuperating in the sea after the beating it got in Episode 8, and that it's a good chance to finish them off, if not, Butcher might be back to full strength after this. This strikes Raul that it might be the final battle against Butcher that Uchuuta and Keiko dies. The team decide to split into two with the Nadesico going to Nambara connection to see about the Combattra's situation while the Freeden handles the Bound Dog. I chose to have Raul go with the Freeden.and Raul then admits that he is worried about Uchuuta and Keiko to Mitsuho and the others. ======================================================================= Episode 13 ======================================================================= Mitsuho explains to everyone why she creates the Excellence frame during their trips to fight the Bound Dog, her parents died in a fire accident, the mobile suits that was around could not get closer to the building that they were in because the generators overheated and she wish that there was a machine that could be adapted to deal with any situation to save lives, so she decide to create one although it didn't turn out the way she want, what with the Excellence being adapted for warfare use back when they came from. But she understands that the Excellence is still saving lives by ending this war, and she used her original ideas for the frames that can stand high heat and pressure to create the Diver Frame for underwater battle for Raul. Meanwhile Eris of GEARS is trying hard to find out what type of food or energy that Data Weapon likes in order to better find them or lure them to where Dendoh can save them. Kid also create the S1 marine adaptation for the Gundam Leopard. Along the way, Kalfa underlings saw the Freeden and assumes that they must be after Data Weapon and contact Altea to come there. At the battle field, Gai of Neo Getter 3 says to leave things to him, and along with the Leopard and Excellence, enters the water asking for the others to take care of the flying enemies. (Note, the Gundam and Excellence are good underwater, but just that, they don't do that much damage to flight enemy and is C on land, and can't change frame in mid battle, keep them on sideline after the water battle is finished) After almost finishing Butcher, the Bound Dog use it's energy to head towards Space and the Freeden just can't pursue it. Then Kalfa forces appear with Altea and Knight Orga (finally I got the name) They wonder where the Data weapon is and when they know there isn't one got furious. When fighting Dendoh, Altea will note that Ginga is a lot more focused and serious. After defeating them, the team return to GEARS headquarter to learn that the Combattra who had been on a rampage was a fake created to lower people's faith in Combattra. The Nadesico was supposed to head back here but it got tipped off about a possible Boazan base, and Voltes V had gone there to investigate, so they decide to go back them up. It has been awhile since that happen and the Freeden is then asked to resupply quickly and go after the Nadesico. In space, Butcher is met by a pink haired girl named Deis who was allowed by the Kaizoku to come here and he ordered Butcher to cooperate with her. The girl nicely smiled and tells Uncle Butcher to head for the moon, and not to worry, she'll help him kill all humans. (If I see anymore nice smily people who wants to create genocide,I'll scream, God we already suffered through the Inspector boss, Princess Monika, the Iglets, Algemil, Alfimy, now we get girls who raised the dead and another who wants to create genocide. ======================================================================= Episode 14 ======================================================================= Before they could go to the Nadesico's support, Metallic bugs attack a nearby town and the Freeden seeing this as more important, goes to stop them. As it turns out it is the work of Mechanoids. Both of them had high ambitions, the female one want to replace Koros as Don's right hand and the male wants this to happen so he could be made the leader of the Mechanoid army. Meanwhile Ragan and the others have found out about the attack and knows that Amuro Rei will be there so they scramble, Despinis wants to come too but is told a big friggin NO, partly probably because she creeps them out and they don't trust her. Once Daifighter and the Freeden arrives at the scene, they don't find the metalbug but the normal mechanoid army, Banjou calls for the Commander to reveal himself, they do and when Banjou decides to change into Daitarn 3, both it and the Freeden is attacked by the metallic bug which invades the interior of both machines eating away many vital components and energy line damaging it severly. Anticipating something like this, Banjou whips out the Ion Plasma cannon design to stop the metallic bug and he spray the energy across the Daifighter killing them. In the Freeden's case, Hayato noting that the bug are susceptible to Plasma tells Gou to activate the Plasma Energy in Neo Getter at the lowest level to destroy the bug with minimal damage to the humans in the Freeden. Gou does it saying that he won't take responsibility for what happens next. The Freeden is free of the bug and the people, although their cloths are slightly singed from the plasma wave that the NeoGeter generate, are fine. Jamill ordered everyone out to defend the non-movable Freeden. The Daitarn is stuck in Fighter mode and Banjou decide to use one last trump card, having Garrison, Beauty and Reika controls the Arms, legs of the Daitarn manually through switches and levers to transform and move, of course they don't get the hang of it right away as it changes from tank to fighter to tank to fighter again and again. Banjou finally decide to give up when one last try by Garrison finally does the trick. After killing them, the Neo Zeon appears and in battle, the "White Demon" (not Amuro but his would be ursurper) finally bit the dust. Wufei questions Raul's justice to which Raul answers that his justice is about saving innocent lives from those like Wufei who creates war. Back at the base, the Freeden and the Daitarn will need extensive repairs for several days and would not be able to go to the aid of the Nadesico, which is just fine since they reported back as having demolished a Boazan base and is coming back with both Combattra and Voltes V. Ginga gets a little upset as to how the Nadesico seems to be doing fine in their mission but they came up blank both time, letting the Kaizoku escapes, letting the Freeden gets severely damaged but is told by others that this is the way war is, lose one, win one. Back at NeoZion base, Ragan is again furious, and Despinis asked what she can do to make him better. She is told by the Frost Brother to locate the missing Camille Bidan and other Newtype, if she does this well, the others just might start trusting her. Despinis complies and leaves. ======================================================================= Episode 14 Part 2 ======================================================================= The Nadesico returns to base and introduce the Combattler and Voltes team, Shousuke is an old friend of Eris of GEARS back at MIT, and the RK team notes that a lot of genius children is gathered here, with Ruri being put forth by the Nadesico crew as their candidates in wondering who's the smartest, to which she said she herself doesn't care. They also mention to the Dendoh team that they found another Data Weapon but with no Dendoh there to filesave it, it escapes, this makes Ginga pretty pissed about not going with the Nadesico. And Eris is more convinced that they need to find a way to lure the Data Weapon to where Dendoh can filesave them. Gou Kenichi also introduces his father who is captured by the Boazan, Amuro and Tifa sense something about him but doesn't say only confirming to each other what they feel. ======================================================================= Episode 15 ======================================================================= Eris is still annoyed that they can't figure out what type of food or energy that would attracts the Data Weapon, finally she just decides to try every known food and energy through Meteo, the Gears supercomputer, along with Omoikane's help using both the UnicornDrill and the LeoCircle as test subjects knowing full well that the amount of types of food and energy on this world is very very big. Meanwhile , Tetsuya and Kouji are contacted by Dr. Kabuto, he had finished the Great Booster and also the Photonic Institute had come up with a new weapon for Mazinger Z, the Reinforced Rocket Punch, which can only be fired once but with incredible attack power. Both Sayaka and Jun are peeved that there is no additional weapons for them further lengthening the gaps between them and the Double Mazinger. Boss is also annoyed that those two keeps getting stronger and decides to Power-Up the Borot all by himself without having to ask or beg anyone at the Photonic institute for new weapons. He concludes that the Borot lacks range weaponry to fight back against faraway enemy or flying enemy and decides to adapt a spare Atomic Punch from the Great to create the Borot Pressure Punch. A lot of the technicians like Uribatake and Kid looks on his plans with amusement but since they don't have anything else to do right now, they decide to go along and help him power up the Borot. Back at Mikene base, Ankoku Daishogun informs the Mikene Emperor that they had snared the legendary DragonSaurus, and the Emperor is pleased, telling Ankoku to take it out and train it so that it can be a powerful weapon for them and that they can show the Dinosaur Empire just who has the strongest Dinosaur Warrior. Informed of the Mikene's advance, the RK team move to intercept with the battle being underwater again and the three marine teams of Leopard, Diver and NeoGetter 3 moved in. At Kalfa Headquarter, it seems that the Kalfa Emperor's pet Ragoll has broken out of his cage and is on a rampage heading towards Earth. A contingency of Kalfa troops pursues the beast. Boss is delighted at the chance to take on the DragonSaurus with his new weapon as is Gai Daigouji who is feeling pretty high at the chance to actually battle a living giant dragon. However Boss fails to take into account that the Borot isn't waterproof and had to pull back when he submerge within the water and founds his cockpit flooded. After a while Great and Z will come as reinforcement using the speed of the Great Booster to flew them there. After defeating Ankoku and Dragonsaurus, Ragoll appears and Dendoh's data weapon comes out from him wanting to fight it. The RK team then must defeat it, once it is beaten, the pink haired Deis comes out and grabs it returning it to the Kalfa Emperor. Boss is smug about his modifications and smirks at Kouji about how HE didn't need to have his dad or those in the Photonic Institute design him new weapons and Kouji acceed this moment to Boss. Back at Kalfa headquarter, most of the people there are talking about Deis and how she brought back the Emperor's pet, what's more the Emperor had granted her full reign to come there and for them to join forces with the Kaizoku. Meanwhile Ankoku Daishogun is still mad at letting the DragonSaurus gets hurt badly but is told by the Mikene Emperor that it will be worthwhile later, they are interrupted by the pink haired boy who was with Despinis who asked if the DragonSaurus is REALLY that powerful, he was told to shut up and to stop meddling in Mikene affair by Ankoku who said he doesn't care if he comes highly recommended by the Campbell. Back at Gears headquarter, Eris's test have shown all negative results and she wonders what do the Data Weapon feeds on. Also Camille Bidan has finally been located at Fort Seven and the Freeden lifts off to take him back with them with the Nadesico left behind to help Dendoh in finding the Dataweapon. ======================================================================= Episode 16 ======================================================================= Eris sets out to use the one energy that she forgot to try, the MeteoCube that powers the GEARS supercomputer Meteo and both Data Weapons respond positively. The plan then is to go to a remote island, unleash the power of the cube which will lure the remaining Data Weapon out along with the two Dendoh have, they must resave them all, and to make sure that no one will interfere, the Nadesico is asked to run interference. Meanwhile, Tsukiyomi berated Tsukumo back at Jupiter, he hasn't been his fiery self lately, with the raid on Neo Zeon, etc ever since their attack on the moon back in Episode 6, wanting to know where his allegiance lies, Tsukiyomi drags him into attacking the Nadesico. When the Jovian attacks, Dendoh is asked to remain behind until they've unleashed the power of the cube. Tsukumo and Tsukiyomi goes down easily and Tsukumo thanks God that it's better this way and he didn't have to hurt Minato but Tsukiyomi is convinced that his friend's alligeance is now very shaky and his heart is for this earth women. Once the cube's power is unleashed, Altea and the rest of Kalfa, following a lead by their three spies on Earth appeared and the 6 Data Weapon appeared, 3 of them separated from their owner. Altea doesn't know what's going on but he doesn't care, he'll save the Data Weapon, but Hokuto and Ginga quickly resaved the Unicorn and the Leo and call for the Dragon and Boar who chose them as their master. Altea quickly resaved Viper Whip and all three tried to save BullHorn who after a while, recognize Altea as it's master. Though disappointed that he didn't get all, Altea decide to destroy Dendoh to get the rest. He tells them that it's been a short while since they fought but it's over now and he meant to destroy them. Ginga and Hokuto retort back that they'll get him first. (Note, Dendoh's DragonFlear Form is the most heavily armoured, stay in that form most of the time for better protection) Afterward, back at their base, Altea seems to be suffering from some old memories trying to resurface and the Kalfa Emperor mind controlled him into forgetting and have him sent back to his side. Tsukumo and Tsukiyomi also get into a fistfight to resolve their difference ( like in Gekigangar) and Tsukumo decide to go watch the Gekigangar tapes to see if they'll change his feelings. The Dendoh team thanks the Nadesico and everyone else for their help in gathering the Data Weapon, they wondered why Bullhorn chose Altea, being that the Unicorn chose Hokuto for trust, Leo chosing Ginga for bravery, Boar chosing Ginga for (I think) perservereance and the desire to follow their dreams ( not too sure here) and Dragon chosing Hokuto for love , which made Ginga burst a gut laughing at Hokuto. Vega tells them that what Bull Horn looks for is wisdom which Altea ranks above the two. While travelling back, Voltes V's performance seems to be quite strange according to Dr. Gou Kentarou and they decide to stop at Big Falcon for it to be repaired. With the beach close-by the team decides to take a break. ======================================================================= Episode 17 ======================================================================= The girls are in their swimsuits and the boys are more or less staring hard, Hokuto looks at Eris and typical to middleschooler, is teased by Ginga about liking her. Uribatake sets up a bad-tasting Ramen shop (according to tradition) and Boss offers to rubs suntan lotion on the girl and is promptly rejected by everyone, he is told by Tetsuya to give it up. Hikaru is amazed at Mitsuho's swimsuit body and tells Raul that he has quite a good catch seeing that she heard that because of the lower gravity in the colony, it is easier for women to get fat there. Meanwhile, the Voltes is being repaired , and Dr. Gou Kentaro talks to (forgot his name) who runs the base after he show Kentaro about the power-up for Voltes, the ChoDenji Ball, about how powerful the Boazan are and that they don't really stand a chance against them, this puzzled a lot of people especially Yurika. Meanwhile, the Boazan,after losing one of their base, decides to attack again after getting a message from Gou Kentaro. Gou met up with Kenichi and his two brothers having a gun pointed at them telling them to surrender and come to Boazan with him, the trio can't believe their father is working for the Boazan especially when it was he who built Voltes V, they think he's been mind-controlled, whatever, he is rejected and when he aims to shoot, Vega and the Shuffle Alliance knocks the gun from him. Kentaro detonate explosives he planted inside the base and the Nadesico, it is minor but each deployed units suffer some loss of Hp. Voltes is quite damaged but easily fixed. While the others deploy, they manage to up to their father and finds out that he is a robot sent by the Emperor. This shocks Hainel, who after the battle begins to tbink that the Boazan Emperor, Sanchibaru doesn't trust him because he is the son of that traitor. Voltes deploy after repair and was furious at Hainel and Jangaru for using this dirty trick on them. During midst battle, Devil Gundam piloted by Toho Fuhai comes looking for Domon and in battle, Domon ask whether his former master is piloting the Devil willingly, he does not get a response. After the battle, Yurika and the Heads of GEARS apologize to the Big Falcon staff for not catching on to the robotic Gou Kentaro earlier, they had secretly marked him but did not anticipate his bomb planting action. Afterward, at GEARS headquarter, they are met up by the Freeden who has Camille Vidan with them. They also had bad news, the Mikene were sighted, along with a lot of Great Mazinger as their forces. Tetsuya is furious when Sayaka concluded that they probably learn of it through Shinichiro when they rebuilt him as a Mikene Sentouin and invade the base taking copies of the plan Dr.Kabuto has. Camille is piloting the Super Gundam which prompts Daigouji Gai to comment on how nice it is to have adjective like Super, God, King, in front of their mech name, and he'd like to pilot a SuperAestevalis if there is one. Uribatake would also like to make one but is told by Prospector that the Aestevalis aren't his to muck around with. Meanwhile Despinis talks to Raria, the boy, about the Devil Gundam, it seems that Toho Fuhai, is awakening. ======================================================================= Episode 18 ======================================================================= Akito, Raul, Raj and Mitsuho are asked by Prospector to visit a subsidiary of Nergal which is studying the Boson Jump, Banjou decides to fly them there in Daitarn stating that the reason they are interest in Raul and the other is because of the Time Engine of the Excellence and how it can be apply to the Boson Jump. Raul knows that Akito is an A-Class Jumper but can't reveal it. They are met by Inez Franchez who, after evacuating from Mars had become a researcher here, she explains why they need to research Boson Jump that can teleport normal people and since Raul seems to know a lot, considering that in Episode 5, he told them to Boson Jump, she wants him here. A short explanation of Boson Jump occurs where we learn that the Jumper enters another dimension for an instant where they can go anywhere, anywhen , they then reenter the normal dimension at the same time but at a different place. Inexperienced Jumper might jump back in time or into the future and to stop that, they need the notes on the Excellence's time engine to stop that from happening. Akito concurs that is what happens, when he first jumps from Mars to Earth, he landed several months before his Mar colony was attacked, and Inez reveal who she is, Ai chan who Akito thought he failed to save, she had jumped also but landed twenty years in the past and had grown up. Nevertheless, Akito refuse to be a lab rat and Raj refuse to give them the note on the Time Engine. Meanwhile, the Jovian like Saburota and his commander are ordered by Kusanabe (of this time period) to attack the Lab where Raul are to stop them from succeeding in learning how to Boson Jump with people inside. At the Kalfa Empire, Ragou has escaped again and is headed for Earth. It appears near the lab and Daitarn deploys to stop it. Afterward when RK arrives, the 4 Data Weapon of Dendoh detach from it to attack Ragou , however Ragou manage to attack Unicorn and Leo leaving them wounded , which according to Vega is impossible since they are just electrical data, Hokuto and Ginga calls them all back and Ragou is taken back by the three commanders of Kalfa. Afterward, Jovian forces arrives and tries to enter the lab, Prospector tells RK that they must not enter, and though they don't really want to be Nergal's bodyguard, the RK team oblige. Fighting Saburota, Raul will note, that how like Akito, Saburota is different from the one in his time. Destroy Saburota or his superior and they will retreat and send in a kamikaze unit. Akito will then take the CC Crystal from Inez and attempt a Boson Jump along with the Kamikaze unit. However he is too inexperience and he is bound to be send to another time when Raul jumps in with the Excellence, and with it's power, brings Akito back even though the stress was too much for the Excellence and it explodes. However Raul is safe and Mitsuho says she will repair it later, thankful that Raul is safe. ======================================================================= Episode 18 Part 2 ======================================================================= Time Engine that Raul and Raj's father were working on would have taken 5 years to build according to the notes that passed Banjou's hand when their father were looking for fundings, and that Raul and Raj's age does not match the age that Banjou knew from searching about them. Thus he concludes that Raul and the other two are from the future. Raj denies this and the claim of a time machine being in existence, and leave, Banjou decides to leave the matter at that. Raul isn't too happy that the truth about them seems to have been figured out so easily but he's happy to leave the matter as it still stands. Yurika thanks Raul for saving Akito and Akito owing Raul a favour ask Raul if he can do anything in return, Raul says that in the future when Akito marries, he must always protect his wife from harm. Akito retort that he and Yurika is not a couple when Raul knows better. Meanwhile, the mysterious entity that is the boss of Deis, Raria and Despinis have taken a notice of the Excellence and it's time capability. Kid tells Roaby and Wich that he is planning on powering up the Airmaster and Leopard but doesn't have enough material, he is told by Noin that supplys will be coming soon. ======================================================================= Episode 19 ======================================================================= The Unicorn and Leo are still injured and GEARS frightfully conclude that Ragou's attack was an infliction of a computer virus, the Ragou virus which will soon destroy the two. All of Eris's antivirus are proving ineffective, but Ruri and Omoikane manage to deliver an antivirus that is stopping the decline but the Ragou virus is mutating to overcome it. The only way to stop it is to get a sample off Ragou and use it to create an antivirus, and Hokuto and Ginga knowing that the two are their friends, asked permission for them to invade Kalfa stronghold to get it. Gai and the other think it's a foolhardy move but one worth making and decide to tag along. Yurika is ready to ask permission for the Nadesico to launch out when she is told that Omoikane must be around if they are to even slow the RagouVirus's advance. Without Nadesico, the RK can't go into space. Hokuto says that even if Dendoh has to go alone, he's going, he can't abandon his friends. Kenichi and Banjou also volunteer Voltes V and Daitarn 3 which is capable of going to the moon on it's own, the GEARS chief agrees that they can't leave Unicorn and Leo to die and he will contact Bright so that the Neil Agama will go there to help them. Of course all this is rendered moot when Ragou escapes and comes looking to infect the remaining Data Weapon. With good fortune on their side, the RK team deploys to get Ragou but the Nadesico is still grounded since Omoikane and Ruri are needed to constantly create new antivirus to stop the mutating virus. However it is spreading fast and even Ruri can't keep up and only 4 minutes remain. Hokuto and Ginga tells the Dragon and Boar not to come out lest they get infected too and charge in to get Ragou. The three Kalfa commander also comes looking to get Ragou back and the battle begins. Once Ragou is defeated, Dendoh retreats back to GEARS HQ and have them create the antivirus and administer it. Unicorn and Leo are healed and Hokuto and Ginga hear the voice of a blue haired girl who appeared to them when they first piloted Dendoh, she tells them to call the name of the great bestial God,(which I didn't jot down) and when they did, Unicorn and Leo merge to become a new Data Weapon for Dendoh. Meanwhile, the three generals are angry that RK had killed their Emperor's pet and the only way they can go back to him is to kill them all and take the Data Weapon., however Quatro Bahgina , before his asteroid dropping days and persona, appears to give the RK team a hand. Afterward, there is puzzlement as to who the girl was and Hokuto asked Vega whether she appear to her when she, and the other guy, who were originally chosen to pilot Dendoh. The answer was no. Another mystery is that though the DataWeapon are powerful, Kalfa activities seems to have halted to just locating them and trying to entrap them, they have stop attacking the Earth, which leads the team to believe that there is something hidden within the 6 Data Weapon that is worth it for Kalfa. Afteward, Eris, while checking up on the Unicorn and Leo came up with the notion that there might be a 7th Data Weapon. Meanwhile Airmaster and Leopard have been upgraded by Kid to AirMaster Burst and Leopard Destroy. Noin notes that the Leopard Destroy reminds her of the HeavyArms which is a Gundam of an acquaintance. Said acquaintance, had knocked out the bodyguard of Relena and order her to come with him after her failed negotiation with the NeoZion. ======================================================================= Episode 20 ======================================================================= The RK team has had information about a lab for Newtypes like FortSeven being full of Enhanced Human and Newtypes, most noteworthy are Four Murasame, Elpy Puru and Purutwo. Camille wants to go there and save her, and the team deploys, with the Freeden going on ahead first because it can't fly like the Nadesico. Amuro wonders whether the legacy that he left behind during the one year war, which is his excellence in battle in the Gundam has led to the round up of the New type but Jamille tells him that it is probably HIS legacy that has led to it. Jamille tells of how he was responsible for the Colony drop during the war, how he used the Satellite Cannon to shoot it down but didn't destroy it which is responsible for why NewType are wanted by warmonger as weapons of war and why he has dedicated himself to saving the Newtypes. Relena's abduction is reported to Lady Une who is then confronted by a mysterious stranger who wants to join the Preventer under the codename Wind. The 3 Generals of the Kalfa Empire is still angry that Ragou is destroyed and the only way they won't be destroy by the Emperor is to attack the RK and kill them and take the Data Weapon. Back on Jupiter, Tsukumo had made up his mind, he is going to go see Minato, he tells Tsukiyomi that Nanako San(of Gekiganer) is only a cartoon and he leaves, making Tsukiyomi determined to stop him. He met with Kusanabe who more or less state that Tsukumo had fallen under the EVIL earthling's mind control and must be stopped, he tells Tsukiyomi to take Hokushin with him to stop Tsukumo (yes, THAT Hokushin who will later abduct Yurika, the one who gave you headache from Episode 2-4 POD route) Tsukiyomi is asked by others whether it's such a good idea working with someone like Hokushin, but Hokushin appears and state that he's no harm to them, he likes Gekiganger too. (I'll bet, I'm sure he roots for the badguys) Meanwhile the Frost Brothers are getting tested by Dr.Karon who concludes them as Category F and not capable of using the Flash System and dismissed. Olbah wants to kill her but is told by Shagia to wait for the right moment. Despinis tells Ragan and the other that the RK are coming and Dr. Karon has a surprise for them. She contact the Freeden and order it to surrender unless they want to be blown by the Twin Satellite cannon of the DX, a modified GX which Jamill pilot in the One Year War. Jamille decide to surrender and Dr. Karon wants all New Type such as Amuro Rei, Camille Vidan, Quatro Bahgina, Tifa Adeille, Jamille and even Fa to come to them. The rest can go free. Jamille obliged. Once rounded up, Dr. Karon talked to them about what Newtype is meant to be,etc,etc,etc and Quatro and the rest talks back,etc,etc,etc (lots of differing philosophy that I don't care about)and how they'll be send into outer space to work for Neo Zion. Once the Nadesico had caught up with the Freeden, they learn of what happen and decide to send in the Shuffle Alliance along with Garrod to rescue the others. Meanwhile, Jamille and the others are freed by Four Murasame who had been told by the Frost Brothers about their plight, and opened her cell. They think it is a trap but can't afford not to take the chance. Meanwhile the Nadesico had been spotted and Dr.Karon ask Abel, the guy who want to be a Newtype (X) to pilot the Double X and ======================================================================= Episode 20 Part 2 ======================================================================= blow them to bit, however the G-Con that operates it was stolen by Four. Once Gremi, Wufei and Trowa, who had come on Dekim's order deploy out, Dr. Karon is contacted by the Frost Brother who reveal their hatred at being rejected just for being a Category F, and how they'll change the world to suit them, and they kill Dr. Karon with an explosive. At the Hangar where Double X is stored, they confronted Jamille and the other in their mobile suit ready to kill the Newtype when in barge Garrod and the Shuffle Alliance. Two hits by Algo and Domon sends the Ashutaron flying to Olba's bewilderement and he and Shagia could only mutter if they are Newtypes (which type we'll never know) and Chibodee counter that they're not but they ARE the Shuffle Alliance. The Double X activates and Four takes the prototype of the new grunt mobile suit that Anaheim is developing, the Jegan, out. Noin notes that the HeavyArms is amongst the enemy and wonder why Trowa had also turned like Wufei. However, the Deathscythe and the Sandrock appears to aid the RK and after the Neo Zion are beaten, Gremi order everyone except Ragan into the shuttle to head for space while Ragan will continue the work on Earth. The Jovian came out and luckily distract the RK. After defeating them, Tsukiyomi wants to try again and again until he's rescue his friend from the clutches of the EVIL earthling but is greeted by Tsukumo who came back when he heard from Kusanabe that the Jovian have decide to hold peace talk with Earth. Quatre and Duo leave the RK saying that they have to investigate the disappearance of many soldiers who are unhappy with the complete peace movement. Meanwhile before leaving, the Frost Brother found Abel and kill him, for their own reasons. ======================================================================= Episode 21 ======================================================================= Altea is back at the Kalfa headquarter, he finds that the three generals have been doing their best to attack Dendoh, however it all ends in failure whether they tried separately or together. Meanwhile Hokuto and Ginga are very tired from the Kalfa attack which is happening around twice or thrice per day, and the attack comes at the worst time, when they're about to eat, when they're about to sleep,etc. This is so much that Hokuto is so tired of lying that he wants to quit but Vega comes by to his house and talks to him. Hokuto ask if he could tell his parent but Vega says no because then the Kalfa, if they learn about this through loose lips, might attack them through their loved one, she tells Hokuto not to give up and that he should go get some sandwich from his mother and she leaves. Hokuto hear a noise afterward and find out that his mother is still up and she decide to make some sandwich which makes him wonder how Vega knew. Altea said that the Kalfa empire will now be aided by the Kaizoku in luring the RK out and the three generals are beginning to hate Altea with all their guts since he's always oneupping them and they have had no success to present to the Kalfa emperor. The Kaizoku attack and Ginga screams that "Can't the enemies give them a day or two off" However since it is a big battle, Dendoh is required, like the other unseen battle with the three generals. After defeating Butcher, Butcher states that he is just a lure to bring them here and retreats and then Altea pops out calling for Vega, his sister. This shocks everybody and he asks why his sister would fight for humanity when they are evil and such. Vega states that yes, Altea is her brother, but she believes in humanity and that he's wrong. Altea retorted back that the humans messed with her memory and Vega states that Kalfa mess with his memory and how the Kalfa Emperor destroyed their home planet. Of course Altea states the usual spiel of how humanity is bad, how they need to be destroy, how they'll wreck everything out in space if not. (The usual stuff like from the Inspector, Aerogater, we all know the drill) However this cause so much doubt in Hokuto and Ginga that their 4 Data Weapon cannot sense the quality they need in them anymore and is not bound to them anymore. Altea use this chance to Filesave them all and leave with Dies capturing Vega also. The 3 General then come out looking to defeat the now weakened Dendoh and RK who are also morally demoralized. Defeat them and the GEARS team will want to rescue Vega from Kalfa. ======================================================================= Episode 21 Part 2 ======================================================================= Hokuto goes home dejected not knowing what is right, he wonder why his mom isn't home. Ginga goes home and ask his mom that in a fight, what if he was mistaken in his belief. She gave him an answer but he doesn't seem to understand it (me neither.) They get called back to GEARS headquarter where it's chief decide to tell them everything so that it's better for everyone. 17 years ago, a small blue haired girl arrived on Earth with Dendoh, and probably a couple of other things (like maybe the Meteo Cube ) from the destroyed planet Alteacia (I'm not sure here since I didn't jot it down, if not correct me) The planet was destroyed by the Kalfa Empire who is predicted to one day target Earth. Moving in secret, GEARS was formed to combat Kalfa with Dendoh as their main force. At the same time, the 6 data weapon also came to Earth and scattered themselves. The girl decide to defend the Earth from Kalfa and was adopted by a GEARS member whose last name was Hokuto's mom's maiden name. The girl grew up, she took on the codename Vega, she also married in this 17 years and had a son.. named Hokuto. And if Hokuto hasn't put together the clue before then, he has now. Vega is his mommy dearest. Of course this hits everyone pretty hard and dumbfounded. Meanwhile Vega and Altea catches up on old time back at the Kalfa base and still argues as to who's right, who's been brainwashed,etc. Vega mention that she has live amongst the Earthling and now thinks of herself as one of them especially with her child there. Altea is surprised that he's an uncle but notes that 17 years had pass and his little sister would probably have had children. He ask Vega to tell him who he is so that he could go get him to save him from the Earthling. Vega's reply was that Altea had met him several time already. And to Altea's dread she says that her son Hokuto is Dendoh's pilot. Back on Earth, Hokuto is going crazy as he wants to rush out and rescue his mom. He is told by the others to calm down and that they'll go anyway to help her because they're friends. However fate takes a hand in that Bright contact them saying that Neo Zion plans a colony drop on Earth. They are enrooted towards it but is lacking the force to stop them. Jamille suggest that RK deploys in the Nadesico, and they rendezvous with the Neil Agama and transfer some of their troops there to help out, with the rest going to rescue Vega. Jamille had gotten over his fear of the cockpit and regain his NT powers, he decide that from now on he'll work as an MS pilot in the GX. ======================================================================= Episode 22 ======================================================================= Before leaving Earth, the technicians at GEARS decide to even up the odds a bit with Dendoh lacking any DataWeapon by powering up the Celfighter to the Celbooster and adds another Hyperdenchi plane. They also asks for weapons from the various laboratory to be added to Dendoh such as the beamrifle, the Choudenji Yoyo, the Dendoh swords, missiles and etc to form the Full Armor Dendoh. Hokuto is determined to save his mother, because he knows that whether they're right or wrong, depriving a mother from a child is definitely wrong. Ginga decides that since the odds are against them, it's best he fight with a clear conscience and finally reveal to his mother that he is a Dendoh pilot. His mom said that she knew since the incident in Episode 10 but was waiting for him to tell her himself. She is proud of Ginga and tells him to fight his best and never to give up in his heart. Morally boosted by his mother's word of encouragement, Ginga return to GEARS headquarter and the Nadesico soon lift off to meet with the Neil Agama, then heads towards the moon. Entering Kalfa territory, Altea notes that they are quite full hardy for coming here with a weakened force and with no data weapon and order the Kalfa army to attack them. FullArmor Dendoh and the rest of RK fights back defeating many and Altea decide to come out himself. Hokuto doesn't care if Altea is his uncle, kidnap his mom and he'll kick Altea's butt. Altea sends Dendoh's former DataWeapon against him destroying the add-on weapon of Full Armor Dendoh. And when the deathblow is to be administer by the Unicorn and Leo combined form, they hesitate and then refuse to follow Altea's command. The bond has been broken because in his current state of mind against Dendoh, Altea has lack bravery by not fighting himself and lack of trust of the Kalfa army. These two traits are what the Data weapon wants and without it from Altea and sensing them back in Hokuto and Ginga, they rejoin Dendoh who filesave them again. However Dragon and Boar remains with Altea because he still has the quality they want. Defeat Altea and he will retreat and the three general will come out. They have had it with Altea and decides to kill him and Dendoh reporting his death as the result of the fight with Dendoh. With Vega still in there, Dendoh has to get in to rescue her and the rest of the RK tries to stop the three general. After defeating them Dendoh enters Kalfa HQ. Altea is injured but he came back to rescue Vega from the attack of the 3 General which is causing part of the headquarter to fall apart. Hokuto and Ginga also tries to find Vega. Altea reaches Vega first but an explosion occurs and Altea use his body to shield Vega and he finally fully remember what really happen when the Kalfa Empire attack their planet and brainwashed him. Realizing that he has been fighting for a lie, Altea is demoralized and wishes to die there. Hokuto and Ginga arrives and Altea finally meet his sister's son face to face without his mask. He gave Hokuto and Ginga back their Data Weapon and his own, the Viper Whip and Bull Horn saying that he has nothing left to fight for anymore and the Data Weapon moves on to recognize it's new master. The explosion rocks Kalfa Headquarter and Vega could only call out her brother's name as she and Dendoh are parted from him by explosions. ======================================================================= Episode 23 ======================================================================= Meanwhile the rest of the RK team wants to go in to help Hokuto and Ginga but are told that the explosion would make it too dangerous and that trusting in them is also an act of a friend. They are contacted by Bright who told them that the Colony Drop was just a feint and that a large number of arm forces known as the Marimea forces led by Marimea Kushinada and Dekim Barton have moved towards the Federation's President's building. This strikes Raul, Raj and Mitsuho that the Coup de at by Dekim Barton which will succeed and lead to the formation of the New Federation of their time has begun at last. Raul asked Mitsuho what happened next from their time and Mitsuho recalled that Relena Dorian and the President were executed but no mention was made of the Round Knights and she didn't pay much attention to the news. Raul want to know what they will do next, and Raj suggest that they cooperate with Dekim Barton because it will lead to the New Federation and the Excellence project funding. Raul does not want to do this because it would mean betraying the RK . Raj also mention that they could just see what happens next first and either go underground as freedom fighters or surrender to them and recognize their rule like the Nadesico and Rakairum did in their time. However this makes him more anxious than ever to get back to their own time and Raul agrees because he does not want what happen naturally in history to interfere with his personal life and friendship. Dendoh makes it out of the headquarter and they saw the body of Knight Ogre with Altea still alive inside floating in space and they rescue him. Meanwhile the 3 General and their leader decides to make a last ditch fight against the RK because only success here will spare them against their Emperor's wrath. Deis comes and tells them that she'll help out only if after the battle, all of them becomes her underlings, because unlike Despinis who has the Devil Gundam at her command, she has none, she'll ask for some MegaBoost from Butcher and the 3 General and their Leader grudgingly agrees to the condition seeing as their victory alone against RK might not save them from their Emperor's wrath but as Deis's underling, they might survive. The Nadesico is ready to blast off to fight against Dekim but out comes the remaining Kalfa forces and Deis and some MegaBoost looking for a fight. Altea decides to give Hokuto, Knight Ogre to even up the odds and GEARS technician found a way to let Hokuto pilots Ogre alone while Ginga pilots Dendoh alone. Vega also decides to fight on behalf of her brother by piloting the new HyperDenchi plane. ======================================================================= Episode 23 Part 2 ======================================================================= After a lot of fighting, to which I recommend killing Deis first before blowing away the Kalfa base. The Nadesico is ready to blast off to help the Rakairum, when they are contacted by Bright not to bother, it seems that the Coup is over, and Raj knows in his mind what Bright will say next, he think that Bright will say that the Coup is a success, probably because a lot of citizens all over backed it up, thus not wanting to fight the entire world, the RK will recognize Dekim's authority and probably surrender. He couldn't have been more WRONG, the Coup ended in defeat when the citizen of the world DOES NOT support what Dekim is trying to accomplish and Dekim had to flee in defeat. This shocks Raul, Raj and Mitsuho completely seeing as how where they came from, the opposite results happen. This is a reaction not unnoted by Banjou. However the Coup has left the Earth Federation in utter shamble and the RK is needed to keep the peace from attacks by enemies like the Mikene and such and must return quickly. Later on Raul, Raj and Mitsuho wondered why history is now different than what they know. Raj finally theorize that originally in the timeline, the Coup was a success but however, with an addition of an unknown element into the timeline, things changed and the opposite occurs. The unknown elements is them when they popped into the past. Mitsuho is scared about what this means if they get back to the future, and whether if they DO get back. Raj said that they have to find a way to get back fast before anymore changes occur. ======================================================================= Episode 24 ======================================================================= They hear a voice, it is the Mikene Emperor. Tetsuya demand that he shows himself to finally settle the score. However the Emperor says that, with Ankoku Daishogun dead, and the Mikene forces devastated, the Mikene no longer has any power to attack the surface world ,FOR NOW. Thus he recognize their complete victory and he will go away FOR NOW, rebuilding his forces and one day in the distant future, he will return. To prevent them from searching him out and destroying him, the Emperor explode the Mikene moving island and seal off any entrance to his lair. With the invasion force of Campbell, Kalfa, Mikene in retreat or defeated, the RK wonders about the Kaizoku, Mechanoid, Dinosaur Empire, Boazan and the NeoZion. Of course it doesn't help that the Kalfa Emperor might send another invasion force or come himself, and that more invasion from Campbell might come. However Chisuru thinks that maybe next time, the Campbell might come in peace. However the enemies that worries them is the boy Raria and the girl Deis who are working with their enemies and have some link to them. Wufei and Enil add one more name, Despinis who controlled TohoFuhai and the Devil Gundam. They don't know much about these three even when they were working with Neo Zion, but from Despinis's mouth, they learn that there is someone commanding them. In an unknown place, this mysterious being calls the three to his attention, and they beg that they not be punish for their failure. The mysterious being also asked why they have not gathered any information about the Excellence and Deis replied that they tried but no records were found of it, it's like one day, the Excellence pop into existence. Deis wants permission from this being, she said that Despinis has the Devil Gundam and Death Army as her lackey but she and Raria only have their mech, she wants his permission to build an army of these two robots that Raria copied the plans from the Mikene and Campbell, the Mass Produced Great Mazinger and Fake Combattler V. ======================================================================= Episode 25 ======================================================================= Bat Shogun had noticed that the Mikene emperor had sealed himself off and thus their agreement is at an end. He is told by Galeli that Emperor Gol is almost revived and that soon they can attack. Raria comes by and ask to join forces with them. He is promptly rejected by Bat who does not trust Raria. Raria returns to Deis and Despinis to tell them the bad news, Despinis has a bad news of her own as well, TohoFuhai had slipped the leach and has gone missing. This surprises the two because they thought he didn't have any consciousness andwill left in him anymore, but Despinis says that Toho Fuhai is an extraordinary man. Back at GEARS headquarter, Domon is surprised to hear that there has been a contact about his master's location by Rain Mikamura. They are both in Neo HongKong and he wants to go there as well. The RK deploys thinking that it might be a trap by Despinis but they need more information about them and TohoFuhai's current condition. They met up with Rain and see the battered body of Toho Fuhai sleeping. Domon is astonished to see a huge amount of DG Cells on him, because his former master never used it when they were enemies. George De Sand then finally figure out how Toho Fuhai was resurrected by Despinis. She had used the DG Cells on him to revive him, just as with the case of Gentle Chapman who had died in battle with Domon but came back to pilot the Grand Gundam as the Devil Gundam's Four Heavenly King. Toho revives and tells Domon that those 3, Despinis, Raria, and Deis did this to him, and that contrary to what the RK had seen, those 3 are manufactured life forms, and that they work as an agent for a higher power. When asked for the name, Toho said that he heard them work for a being called Dyuminus. This extremely shocked Raul , Raj and Mitusho and again Banjou took notice. Toho says that with his body full of DG Cells, he couldn't stop himself from attacking Domon and the others under Despinis's command. He can't be freed from the DG either because it's probably what's keeping him alive. Suddenly Despinis, Raria and Deis bursted in and quite nicely asked for Toho back. Since they won't give him up, they attacked, although only Deis seems the only one eager enough, with Despinis and Raria asking whether if it's the right thing to do and slow to act. Toho screamed to Domon and the others, not to listen to them, those three are just that, manufactured lifeforms whose every move has been calculated, their strength is incredible and the personality that they all exhibit is designed to make their opponents, especially nice guys with conscience, think that it might be better to try and talk to them, wondering if they could be saved from this or to feel bad and get demoralized if they fight and beat up these three CUTE, ADORABLE,NICE HARMLESS children (notice the sarcasm) Of course all pretense of them being harmless gets thrown out the window when one punch from Deis puts a hole in a wall or such, leaving the other pilots to leave things up to the Shuffle Alliance and those more capable of fighting like Wufei and Ginga. Of course these people don't last too long against them and is kept at bay while Deis hauls Toho out of his bed, with him cursing that IF he is fully healed, he'd give them a spanking and Despinis called the Devil Gundam and throws Toho back into it. Domon deployed and Toho asked his former student to kill him seeing that right now, he is just an energy source with no free will from it and noting that he had already died once on Randao island. Of course, the cute adorable trio hauls out the Death Army, Fake Combattler and MP Great to fight them. However Rain arrives with the newly overhauled GodGundam and takes over piloting the Shining Gundam. Foon Saiki also arrives and lets God ride it. In the midst of the battle, unmanned Aestevalis taken over by Jovian mech boson jump out and attack the RK. These Aestevalis got named by Hikaru as the DevilAestevalis taking cue from the Devil Gundam and Ryoko tells her to stop with the bad naming.Kill the Cute Adorable Trio first before killing Toho otherwise they retreat. Toho thanks Domon and Domon tells his former master to rest in peace. He swears that he will find Dyuminus and destroy him for disturbing his dead master's rest. Back at the Jovian Camp, Tsukumo demands to know why Jovian mech had taken over Aestevalis and attack the RK when the peace process will soon be underway, he is told by Kusanabe that it was a mistake, a glitch in programming, and that Kusanabe will look into it. Tsukiyomi ask WHY Tsukumo is so defendant towards the EVIL earthling. Once Tsukumo is gone, Kusanabe shows his dirty side with Hokushin to ask whether the test was successful and that they can now take over Aestevalis to use as their forces, he wonder whether the same can be done on Mobile Suit to produce Devil Mobile Suit (It seems Hikaru isn't the only one with bad naming sense) and is told that they work on different technology and it would probably take more time than it is worth. Domon introduce Rain and Foon Saiki to the RK team which made Mary of Texas Mack recall that their new secret weapon is ready. Meanwhile Raul, Raj and Mitsuho are having another conversation, Raj has figure out that alone, the Time Engine can not propel them back to the future, they got propelled back because the Time Engine absorbed the energy that came out from the destruction of the engine (the one that is also attached to the Y Unit of Nadesico) of the Nadesico C from their time. They will need an energy just as immense to go home, and what's more, they don't know the conditions of what their action in the past did, and even if it remain minorly unchanged, they could return back at the scene of the Nadesico C's battle with the Martian Successor and Dyuminus, and the Excellence and all of it's frame are no match for it. Raj ask Mitsuho to create a completely new frame, one geared towards complete battle unlike the other 5 which was started as rescue frame and adapted to warfare. Raj wants a frame that is capable of fighting and defeating Dyuminus seeing as how it took out the Striker back in Stage 4 with just one shot. Mitsuho reluctantly complie and Raul talked to her later about her reluctance to fully turn the Excellence into a complete war machine, she state that it is Ok, if it will save Raul's life in the battlefield ahead. All of this conversation is eavesdropped on by Banjou and Garrison who asked how long Banjou intend to keep the eavesdropping going, Banjou's reply was "Until they tell us what they know" Back at Dyuminus's lair, Toho Fuhai revives to the face of the adorable trio, and Deis said cheerfully that he'll remain as Devil Gundam's pilot FOREVER, to which Toho utters out a curse towards them. ======================================================================= Episode 26 ======================================================================= Dyuminus calls Despinis, Raria and Deis to him, he berates them for spending so much effort on getting firepower such as the MP Great and Combattler when they should be focused on more important things, such as contacting the Boazan, the Kalfa Emperor and his troops and to make final preparation for their plans for the Devil Gundam. A call from the Saotome Lab by Nagare Ryouma sends Jin Hayato returning to the place he spends his earlier years as a Getter Pilot, he is accompanied by Raj who is interested in Getter Energy which is mysterious and is said to cause evolution. Heero and Duo also accompany the duo. Raj asks why Dr. Saotome used this mysterious radiation as the energy source for Getter Robo to which Hayato replies, that they didn't know at first what Getter energy really is. The lab has been shut down since the Getter Incident some time back in the so-call final battle against the Dinosaur Empire by the original Getter Robo. Gou meets them at the lab saying that he'd like to see why Hayato is in a hurry to get there, they found the answer, green blood, the Dinosaur Empire had come for Professor Saotome's last creation before the shutdown, Shin Getter Robo. Ryouma had been here first and had killed many Dinosaur foot solider. They know that it won't be long until Shogun Bat who is leading the assault calls for giant mech to crush the lab and their only chance is to reactivate Shin Getter. Ryouma,Heero and Duo spread out to contain the footsolider while the rest works on reactivation. Meanwhile, Domon and the Shuffle Alliance had heard reports from Noin that Despinis and the Death Army had been seen near the Saotome Lab and goes there, Shou and Gai is also worried about Hayato and deploy in Neo Getter 2. Seeing Shin Getter Robo, the real Getter Robo that is fuelled by Getter energy awes Raj but annoys Gou a bit in that the naming seems to say that Neo Getter Robo which doesn't operate on Getter energy, is a fake. ======================================================================= Episode 26 Part 2 ======================================================================= Bat decide to use mecha and Nion in the prototype Getta (which looks a lot like an unfinished Getter Robo G)deploys, but so does the Shuffle union and Neo Getter 2 who vows to hold them off. The Death army also comes. Soon the RK team arrives and Heero and Duo go back in the ship to get their Gundam. Neo Getter 2 is attacked and is badly damaged, Gou who sees this in Shin Getter gets angry and somehow managed to reactivate Shin Getter pouring out extreme amount of Getter Energy in the process. Despinis, Raria and the Devil Gundam arrive, they had been waiting for this moment. Domon is shocked to see his former master still alive piloting the DG and Raria said that with the DG cells, no matter how many time Toho dies, he can be revive, which angers Domon to no end. However with the pouring out of the Getter Energy, the Devil Gundams begin to evolve into more advanced forms and they could now easily create a number of Grandmaster Gundam to use as lackey. Bat Shogun asked if they used the Dinosaur Empire to their advantage but Raria said that their original plan, had Shin Getter not awaken, is to destroy Shin Getta to release the radiation so that it could evolve DG. Gou is furious at them using the Getter energy outpour for their own ends and have Shou and Gai climb aboard so that Shin Getter can go fight them. Killing or making any one of the three (Toho, Raria, and Despinis) to retreat will force the other two to retreat. Choose Toho to get him later, the other two have crap items anyway. Afterward, they find Toho on the ground, the DG not needing him anylonger. Despinis and Raria talked afterward saying that Toho isn't needed anymore since the evolved DG can fuel itself and is even stronger than the one Domon originally defeated at the end of G Gundam with Rain. Though Toho is alive, he is heavily infected with DG cells in it's final stage, he would soon become a zombie solider and Domon refuse to believe that. Meanwhile Emperor Gol has fully revive, and in a televised broadcast to the world, he says that the Earth is for the Dinosaur Empire and that he has gain power beyond imagination, to prove his point, he devastated GEARS America, where Texas Mach had gone to get their power-up, in one shot. ======================================================================= Episode 27 ======================================================================= The Voltes team is called back to the BigFalcon to receive a power-up to fight against the Boazan and other invaders. Kenichi and Ippei are uneasy and nervous asking the professor and Hitoshi to work faster, knowing that GEARS Japan might be targeted next, and is told to calm down otherwise they will mentally wreck themselves. Meanwhile, Hainel and the remaining Boazan are waiting for reinforcement from their planet, the transmission that they got was that they will only receive supplies and the REAL Gou Kentaro to power up their Mecha, there will be no new soliders or anything else, it seems that they are being left to dry by the Boazan Planet. However, before the saucer that can transport them can get here, it seems that a Jovian mecha had attacked it destroying the saucer. With no one to create new weapons or power up their mecha, and with supplies running low, Hainel decide to go for one last ditch battle against RK so that if victorious, they can get supplies from the demoralized Earth people. He ask for Katherine to prepare their Guardian, the Godol. Gol finally attacks GEARS Japan, with Galeli noting that previous records show a high odds of it being near the amusement park. RK deploys, and is meet by a huge number of Dinosaur Mech, also Hainel choose this time to attack as well, noting that Voltes isn't there. However reinforcement arrives in the form of Voltes and Tsukumo Shiratori in his mech (I think it's the Tenjin or the Daimajin, not sure). Tsukumo was the Jovian that attacked the Boazan saucer AND rescued the real Gou Kentaro from the Boazan. This angers the Boazan a lot because he had put them in this situation. Tsukumo said that he is here as an agent of peace, and that the Jovian are considering peace between them and Earth and had sent him to get Earth's reply and prepare for negotiation, he will work with the RK against other enemies to prove his claim. Although some member of the RK team are doubtful, the Voltes team accepts his help seeing that he DID rescue their father. The battle against Hainel is pretty long but when Hainel's Skulk go down, Hainel wants to deploy in the Godol, but Katherine ask Hainel to flee seeing that even though if they do win, they have lost all military forces and the remaining Earth military will bring them down easily. Hainel doesn't care and deploys anyway and is defeated by Voltes V. However, unbeknown to him, Katherine installed a secret escape pod in the Godol which ejected him to safety although unconscious. After the battle is over, she is met by Raria who ask her what she plans to do, she plans to find a secret place to hide Hainel from the Earth people forever, however Raria said that Hainel would only decide on another attack and had prepared a shuttle for them to escape out into space. Though Katherine wonders why Raria show this act of kindness, she has no choice and accepts and leaves for space with Hainel. On the other side of the battle, NeoTexasMack had returned from GEARS America, as luck would have it, they were away testing the weapon when Gol devastated it. Riding their new Horse Mecha, they attack Gol claiming revenge for GEARS America. If Shin Getter's Hp is in the red, and Gol is destroyed, he will come out in giant size to look for a fight and an event will occur, you will lose the chance to get the ChouGokin New Z and the money for Gol in exchange for two new weapon for the Shin Getter, as Shin Getter evolve into Jin Getter (God Getter) ======================================================================= Episode 27 Part 2 ======================================================================= The evolution involve another high output of Getter Energy which cause Toho Fuhai to be able to walk out into the street from his bed even though he shouldn't be able to. Gou tells Gol that he isn't like the other who fight for other people, he doesn't have much love ones, the only person who really cares for him is himself, get in his way and he'll crush Gol like the overgrown lizard he is. The energy output threatens to evolve the three pilot into pure energy and Ryouma and Hayato tells them to concentrate, and they finally evolve Shin Getter to Jin Getter, Domon tells them that they have achieved Meikyo Shisui (Still Water Clear Mind, the skill Domon needed for Super and Hyper Mode)in order to evolve. Gou doesn't really care and more or less defeat Gol in one jab. Then Jin Getter moves on it's own and goes to where Toho Fuhai is and release another burst of Getter energy and to Domon's astonished eyes, the DG Cells are destroyed and Toho Fuhai is fully cured and returned to his full health former self. Rain and the others comment on how the Getter Energy really came through for them this time. Toho is feeling no side effect of the Getter Ray and George comments that the Getter energy act in the same way as what the Old Shuffle Union used to cure George and the other three from when THEY were infected with DG cells passing on the Shuffle Union legacy to them. Toho says that when he was bathed in the Getter Energy, he learned everything on why the Devil Gundam had revived. Despinis and Dyuminus did nothing to revive it, they found out about it and took advantage of the situation. What REALLY revive the Devil Gundam was the Getter Energy itself. Ryouma tells Toho to stop bad- mouthing the energy that saved his life but Toho continues that, alone, the Getter Ray that permeates the Earth is too low level to cause any reaction in the destroyed DG Cells from Domon's final battle, however an event some times ago result in a huge amount of Getter Energy being disperse into the atmosphere.Hayato recognize this as the Getter incident where Tomoe Musashi, the 3rd Original Getter Pilot beside Ryouma and Hayato had self destruct the Getter Energy Tank of Getter Robo in an attempt to destroy the Dinosaur Empire. The released amount of energy caused the DG cells to become active once more and it took time and evolve back into it's present condition found by Dyuminus, and his three underlings. They decide to strengthen it by exposing it to another burst of Getter Ray and had succeed. Gou Kentaro is checked out and is confirmed as the real thing. Meanwhile Tsukumo have a pleasant reunion with Minato but his sister Yukina, is still very much anti-Earth and almost get into a scrap with Ginga. Saotome goes back to his lab to research the Getter Ray more and wish Hayato good luck with the Shin GetterRobo, Ryouma also leave, stating that his battle is over, but new threats are still around. ======================================================================= Episode 28 ======================================================================= The Nadesico has been retrofitted with the Y-Unit, to which Mitsuho guessed correctly what it is even though it's supposed to be a secret, although being five years from the future gave her the answer. Meanwhile Domon sees Rain and Toho Fuhai together as she goes over the reconstructed Master Gundam with him. With it he will be able to fight alongside Domon although Rain stated that the original Master Gundam is the Kulon Gundam infected with DG Cell and thus this non DG Cell reconstruction is weaker in power to the original .Toho Fuhai says that he'll compensate for this power-loss by using his skills and experience. To commemorate the event, the Miss Nadesico Contest is held, with the winner being the new captain. Jamill and Bright are asked to be judges. The contest is only open to Nadesico crew which leaves Tonya, Enil and Banjou's assistant a bit disappointed seeing as how they think they could win against all of the other contestants. And though Hokuto want to go see it, he had a previous appointment to spend sometime with his Dad. Ginga is also asked about his Dad who is a traveller around the world, probably a reporter. Each time he visit a country, he would come back emulating their culture, last time it was France but the worst time was when Ginga's Dad visited the old Jion Dukedom republic during the War. He came back and couldn't stop saying "Zieg Jion" for a while annoying Ginga to the most. Vega is also given news about her brother Altea, although he is on the road to physical recovery, someone has stolen Altea's Gear Commander for Knight Ogre. Suparu and Zero, from the Kalfa Empire had arrived on Earth and is scoping around the place looking for Hokuto, the pilot of Knight Ogre who defeated Suparu's bigger brother, Altea. Suparu is surprised to see flyers and poster of the Miss Nadesico contest around town and ask Zero if being good-looking in a swimsuit is really a trait all Captains should have. Zero's reply is that humans can REALLY do strange things which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Meanwhile Commander Senoia who wants to replace Coros as Don Sauser's second in command also sees the poster and decide to use the situation to her advantage, by employing the skill of Commander Nendol, the greatest shapeshifter of the Mechanoid army. ======================================================================= Episode 28 Part 2 ======================================================================= The contest goes underway and the models comes out in swimsuits. Mitsuho ask Raul who is wide eyed whether all men are like this, whether they really like seeing swimsuits and swimsuits figure that much. Raul pretty much couldn't answer, Mitsuho however, is given an answer by Beauty and Reika who tells her that what men like even more is to see and look at their loved one in swimsuit, Good things for Tsukumo then, because he definitely sees Minato in a swimsuit and goes all flabbergasted, probably in shock, seeing as how female are rare on Jupiter, and they don't wear swimsuits like two pieces or thong. Yukina tells her brother to wake up and see how EVIL the Earth women are, being so *ty in their dresses. Jamilles and Bright are also quite shell-shocked wondering what sort of company Nergal is to select a captain of a ship this way, with Bright muttering that if his wife Mirai ever hears of this... The winner, is Ruri, and as she becomes Captain 5 years earlier than expected, leaving Yurika devastated, Nendol and Senoia watches from secret and plans to use this to their advantage. Yurika still shocked at losing to Ruri is met by Akito who console her, she ask him what should she do next, leave the ship? Akito tells her that if so, he'll leave with her, because he loves her and wants to be together with her. This more or less gives Yurika the mental boost she wants and she hugs Akito saying she loves him when Akito knocked her unconscious and takes her to Senoia. Senoia notes that Nendol did a great job on this bimbo and "Akito" then says that it will be easier to move around as the former captain and becomes Yurika. "Yurika" meet up with the new Captain Ruri and offers her congratulation. Ruri is a little nervous about being the new Captain but "Yurika" tells her to be more confident and if not, she'll take over as Captain, and with that " Yurika" backhanded Ruri into unconsciousness. As she tries to lift Ruri "Yurika" notes that the body of this female is too weak to haul a kid and looks for a strong male form to change into. "Tsurugi Tetsuya" hauls Ruri, in a bag or a box, to Senoia and tells her that the Nadesico will soon be theirs, laughing in his mind. Meanwhile the real Akito is trying to find Yurika to console her but can't find her anywhere, he sees "Ruri" walking down and ask her if she sees Yurika, she said no. The other asks what the huge amount of boxes that seems to be send up to the Nadesico are for and "Ruri" said that those are hers' and when asked what they contain, she said in "Ruri-voice" "That's a secret" Boss ask whether it's a present for them and she reply again "That's a secret" Meanwhile the Real Ruri and Yurika is being held in a warehouse at the dock being guarded by Mechanoid solider, they want to get out but is afraid that they will be fired on. However help arrives in the form of the human chip identity of the deceased three General, they need food and energy and begin to eat the guns of the Mechanoid solider and in the confusion, Ruri and Yurika escaped. ======================================================================= Episode 28 Part 3 ======================================================================= "Ruri" contacted Senoia saying everything is a Go and she then tells Omoikane to lift off and Omoikane respond. She broadcasted to everyone that the Nadesico will now leave for Mars. This astonish the other people and they tell "Ruri" that she can't do that on a whim even if she is the new captain. "Ruri"'s reply is "So what, This ship is the Mechanoid's property now", which pretty much tells them that it's not Ruri speaking no matter how much she sounds and looks like her. They demand to know who she is to which the reply is "Sometime I am Hoshino Ruri" says "Ruri" "And sometimes I am Tenkawa Akito" and "Ruri" becomes "Akito" "And on other occasion I am Tsurugi Tetsuya" and he changes into "Tetsuya" " Lastly , I have also been known to be Misumaru Yurika" and "Tetsuya"change into "Yurika" "But my real self is Commander Nendol of the Mechanoid Army" as "Yurika" finally change into Nendol Prospector can't believe it, how could a master of disguise fooled Omoikane and the various protocol, to which Nendol said not to mock the Mechanoid's technology for disguise, not only can he change his voice and shape to look exactly like anyone, he can mimic speech patterns so that he talks the way his disguise usually talks, but the change is down into DNA level, he literally becomes "Yurika, Ruri,Tetsuya and Akito" and he changes into "Ruri" again to prove his point saying "See?" and tells Omoikane to go up full speed and tells the Mechanoid solider in the boxes to contain the Nadesico crew and Banjou who is aboard. The Neil Agama blast off to stop Nadesico from leaving but can't attack it. Senoia sees an opportunity and tells "Ruri" to command Nadesico to attack Neil Agama and the other RK before leaving for Mars to add the Nadesico and the Aestevalis to their arsenal, and the pilot to be converted to Mechanoid solider. Meanwhile Subaru and Zero has found the three human chip of the deceased 3 generals of Kalfa. It's rare that their extension survived while the original is dead but the death cause the three human chip to lose all memories of the original and they are acting as though they are brain damaged. Zero tells Subaru that they'll probably be scrapped because there is no use for them anymore, but Subaru tells them that he'll keep them around as lackeys to which Zero relent. Vega contacted Hokuto who is out with his father to come at once. Once Hokuto arrives at the battle scene, he calls Knight Ogre who came but suddenly left as if called by someone else leaving Hokuto puzzled and then he gave chase to where Ogre went, leaving the battlefield. Akito sees the Real Ruri and Yurika near the dock and the others have him deployed to bring them back to the Nadesico seeing as how only Ruri can stop "Ruri" from commanding Omoikane. Senoia sees this and order all unit to kill Akito who snatched Ruri and Yurika from the Dock. Bright ordered all units to help Akito and to resupply him because he is out of Nadesico range. Once Ruri enters the bridge and Banjou more or less kicked Nendol who had changed back from being "Ruri" out, Nendol becomes a Megaborg to fight Banjou who deploys in Daitarn. The old commander from Episode 14 also comes out looking to redeem himself. Kalfa forces also appear to attack them all. Yurika and Ruri are furious at Nendol for impersonating them to do such devious work,(Frankly I think Yurika is also angry at being given her heart's desire and then betrayed by "Akito"" and Ruri tells Omoikane "Get him!!" ======================================================================= Episode 28 Part 4 ======================================================================= After battle, Ruri decides to give up the position of Captain and the 2nd place winner Yurika takes back her position. Elsewhere, Hokuto finds Knight Ogre alongside Suparu and Zero, Suparu greets Hokuto and tells him that he is the real pilot of Ogre and Hokuto is knocked out. When Ginga and the other went looking for Hokuto, they only found his belongings scattered across the area where he was and they fear that he had been abducted by Kalfa. Kalfa forces have arrived once more to invade Earth and many GEARS division across Earth is destroyed. One of them, GEARS Russia seems to have been destroyed by one man, who strikes Toho Fuhai's attention. Vega says that it is Zero, the Kalfa Emperor's right hand man. Suddenly, they are contacted by Para, who wants Bright and anyone available to come back to Space. Para is part of a group that helps AUEGO out in space, however she is the only survivor because a mysterious Gundam with a Satellite Cannon has attacked killing everyone but her. Also Neo Zion forces have begun a new plan. Bright decides to take some forces with him to stop them, however Ginga who is worried about Hokuto stays behind and Toho Fuhai also decide to stay behind, saying that Domon shouldn't be walking in his shadow, and he is slightly worried at the destruction of GEARS Russia by Zero. Meanwhile, Hokuto awakens and asked Suparu what happened, and then he says "Oh, so I was knocked unconscious fighting Dendoh again?" "Don't worry, next time I will destroy Dendoh" Yup it's fake memory and mind manipulation time again. ======================================================================= Episode 29 ======================================================================= Vega asks her brother Altea what would most likely happen to Hokuto if he had been captured by Kalfa forces. Altea answers that most likely, he will be given false memory as a pilot of Knight Ogre for Kalfa to come and attack GEARS and Dendoh, Altea asks Ginga whether he can bring himself to strike down his friend if necessary to save him and Ginga couldn't really answer. Vega asks whether it is possible to reverse the process, Altea says yes, because he is living proof, however they must find Hokuto fast because the longer it takes, the more he will accept the fake memory as real., Vega prays that they could find Hokuto soon, she does not relish having to fight her son. Meanwhile the Zambot 3 has been given a new weapon, the Ion cannon that was attached to their mothership, the King Biel, since the King Biel was originally a space ark, it was not meant for fighting and Kappei's grandpa felt that with the work of the RK and the enemies they face, it is better if the weapon is given to the Zambot. GEARS technician rush to install it and makes sure that the Zambot's own Ion engine can give off the necessary output to make the weapon devastating and still have enough energy to do other attack, not wanting it to be like Dendoh's One Shot Final Attack and the batteries are dead and need to be replace. At Kalfa, Hokuto and Suparu are having a meal, which looks like little ball of candy but have no taste, Hokuto thinks that he's eaten better than this before although when he doesn't know since he's been living on Kalfa for his entire life. Hokuto also calls Suparu "Ginga" sometime during their conversation and doesn't know why except that the name is familiar. Suparu asks Zero why Hokuto seems to be remembering and Zero says that it is harder to reprogram human than other races, and that they should use him to destroy Dendoh fast. Hokuto comes back to Earth transmitting a challenge to Dendoh saying that if Dendoh doesn't come, he'll burn the town (Nice, burn your own room too while you're at it) Ginga accepts and RK meets the Knight Ogre who has his faceplate down and a lot more HP,EN than when you have it (It's like fighting Altea again) Ginga tells the other to hands off Hokuto. (Note, let Hokuto comes to you, make sure Ogre and Dendoh fight on your turn, make sure you have healers or those with trust spell to heal them, otherwise, one shot is all it take to down them and make you spend your money unnecessarily) When Hokuto and Ginga meets, they went at it, both using their Final attack to create a double knockout, both are still alive and they starts calling each others names, which more or less have them going at it personally, when Dendoh goes next to Ogre and open his cockpit and Ogre open his cockpit and the two boys gets into a scrap. Though some of the RK want to stop this, Gai and Kenichi tells the others that let them be, they understand each other better with their fist,much like the relationship between Kenichi and Ippei, and the Shuffle Alliance with each others. Of course during all this, Zero is watching and order hidden Kalfa forces to attack the defenceless Dendoh and for Hokuto to kill Ginga. Hokuto's pendant which the Kalfa force puts on him starts to glow and Vega tells Ginga that the pendant is what that is giving and reinforcing Hokuto's false memory. Because humans are different than Altecusian like Altea, they had to resort to different means and Ginga tore the pendant ======================================================================= Episode 29 Part 2 ======================================================================= off, when a Kalfa unit gets close to Dendoh, Hokuto says he knows what to do and blasted the Kalfa, Hokuto's real memory has return and Suparu says that this isn't happening, it seems he had form some sort of friendship with Hokuto during the brief time Hokuto was on their side and Zero had to haul him away. Butcher comes out to reinforce the Kalfa and Kappei says that he'll test the Ion Cannon's power on Butcher. Once the battle is over and Hokuto meets the others, he apologize like a machine gun for giving them so much grief, for threatening to destroy the town and etc but he is forgiven and Ginga and Hokuto goes away together from the deck as best friends once more. One GOOD thing that did come out from this mess is that Knight Ogre, though not as powerful as when it was an enemy, has been fully powered up by Kalfa, stats wise and weaponwise making it your overall heaviest hitter. (Finally, those evil organizations finally did us something good beside copying robots like Great and Combattler) Meanwhile, Suparu is still lamenting over the loss of Hokuto and he says that he'll attack himself and defeat them all. Zero says that the loss of Hokuto so soon was unforeseen, but they have gotten what they wanted from searching his memories before he is given the false memory, the location of GEARS Japan. ======================================================================= Episode 30 ======================================================================= Mitsuho has almost finished the Lightning frame, she says that the name Lightning comes from the fact that the flow of time is like lightning, fast and furious. Meanwhile, the talks about the Data Weapon is going on at GEARS, Vega and Altea states the legend of the Data weapon on Altecrus where they are from states that whomever gets all the Data Weapon will have enough power to be King of the Universe. This is what led the Kalfa Emperor to attack Altecrus, to get the Data Weapon. The RK teams then wonder if that makes Hokuto and Ginga, King of the Universe, but they don't think so because Dendoh and Ogre could be defeated given the right strategy. They wondered whether if the 6 Data Weapons were meant to be put on just one GearsFighter not shared between the two, but Altea states that if so, when he got all 6 before his memory return, he would have been King of the Universe, but there was nothing different. Thus they think that there is a 7th Data Weapon, One that is different from the rest and does not respond to the Meteo Operation when all six were brought together when the power of the Meteo Cube was opened. Eris had thought about that but couldn't confirm her suspicion about the 7th . Changing the subject, Altea is asked by Vega if it is possible using Kalfa technology to learn of a person's prior memory before giving them false memory, Altea answers that it is possible, and Vega suddenly realize that Kalfa now knows the location of GEARS Japan which is a secret. She barely acknowledge the thought when the alarm rang and Kalfa forces invade, all defense were overcame in a hurry and Kalfa solider along with Deis and Zero invade the Headquarter. Deis founds Raj and Mitsuho and knocks them unconscious, she then hauls them away and totalled the Excellence's almost completed Lightning Frame. Meanwhile Zero is met by Altea and Vega who plans to get revenge for their home planet. Altea's body had recovered pretty well and he is capable of fighting, they go at it but are no match for Zero. Zero mocked them saying that two ghosts of the past can't defeat him, she should know better, Queen Vega, thus reminding her that she would have been Queen of the planet Altecrus had it not been destroyed. Zero then turns to face his true opponent who had arrived, Toho Fuhai. Zero states that here seems to be another ghost who shouldn't be here. Toho's answer is that it's because of people like Zero, Deis, Raria and Despinis that he couldn't die in peace. Toho and Zero goes at it and Toho hits Zero with the Juu Ni OuHou Hai Daisharin. Meanwhile outside, Raria, Butcher and Suparu are in their mech and the Nadesico launches to stop them. Kill Raria first before Suparu otherwise he'll retreat. Suparu doesn't care for Dendoh and heads for Ogre piloted by Hokuto saying that they REALLY are meant to be enemies, he says this half-heartedly, and when he goes down, Zero appears and says that his use is at an end, and that humans like Suparu just can't be counted on and abandons him, but Suparu is saved by Ginga and Hokuto. It was then that the GEARS headquarter exploded and everyone in there is presumed dead, Raul cries for Mitsuho and Raj. However, Deis appears saying that she's got what she wanted and shows the captured Mitsuho and Raj to Raul who screams to Deis to give them back but she says that Dyuminus wants them and leaves with them calling on the Devil Gundam to take care of RK, Zero plans to leave too but Toho Fuhai appears in the Master Gundam saying that they're not finished yet!!. Zero is a very tough opponent who doesn't give you much(cheapskate) and he can use aftervision so be careful. After the battle, a rumble comes from beneath the ruins of GEARS Headquarter, it is a huge spaceship called Meteo and all the GEARS personnel are alive and well, GEARS was built on top of the ship which brought Vega and Dendoh to Earth. However it lacks the power for travel seeing as the remaining Meteo Cube which fuels it is reserved for the super computer Meteo. Inside, the RK team sees on the long-range radar that the Neil Agama has stop at the moon for resupply, they also sees the Bound Dog, travelling slowly and badly and notes that the engine must have been severely damaged in the battle just a few minutes ago. Meanwhile, Raul is very demoralized seeing his friend and possible lover kidnapped and is told by Noin that he's not doing them any good staying like this and that Deis kidnaps them for a reason so the odds of them still being alive to be rescued are huge if they play their cards right, he looks at the destroyed Lightning frame and vows to get them back. At Dyuminus lair, Mitsuho awakens to find herself alone with Dyuminus, Dyuminus has a proposition for her, if she'll recreate the Excellence Frame especially to be used with the Time Engine for him, he'll let them live, he needs the Excellence Frame and the Time Engine to gain the power to go anywhere in time. Dyuminus states that Raj had already agreed to the deal and wants Mitsuho's answer who does not answer back. Meanwhile, it is agreed that the Nadesico will go to finish off Butcher for good, and Kappei vows that no matter what, they will stop Kaizoku and Uchuuta and Keiko agrees stating that even if it means having to trade it with their own lives. This reminds Raul that from overheared conversation from his time, Uchuuta and Keiko are fated to die in this battle. ======================================================================= Episode 31 ======================================================================= The three human chips of the 3 deceased Kalfa General henceforth known as the 3 underlings, did not go back with the Kalfa forces, Suparu had saved them from being scrapped and they can't go back because with Suparu abandoned by Kalfa, they'd be destroy if they go back, they decide to come to RK and begs them to let them live and work for Suparu. Though many of the RK members are hesitant towards this and wondering if it's a trap, Yurika recognizes the three as the one who save them from the Mechanoid trap and without them, the Nadesico would be Mechanoid property by now so she vouchs for them. Altea states that it is rare for chips to live when the main body died, but because of that, these 3 have become harmless. The 3 Underlings however still cringe when they hear the name Altea and he laughs that their fear of him must comes from when he was still working with them for Kalfa. Since the three aren't human, they are sent on repair mission outside in space without spacesuit which made them useful. Suparu however, had not been doing well, he just lies in bed shell shocked, his whole life had been with Kalfa and he doesn't know what else to do. Hokuto tries to cheer him up by bringing him his mom's dumpling and Akito's food. Suparu asks if this is food and Hokuto tells everyone of the tasteless candylooking food they had to eat at Kalfa. Suparu eats and starts crying having never taste anything this good before. The other looks at him and they mutter to themselves that the food here, though good, is pretty repetitious, especially Akito's food, when days after days, they get the same 2-3 things over and over , they wish that there was something new on the Menu. This prompts Yurika to says that this time, SHE"ll cook, and the others responds, that that might not be such a good thing, especially when they're about to go into a hazardous mission in awhile and needs to be 100% Ok. Meanwhile Butcher, with Deis watching, is trying to repair his engine with absolutely no success, he is contacted by the Kaizoku God that the RK is coming and for Butcher to unseal the Twin Guardians of Kaizoku. Back at the Nadesico, Prospecter is trying to make rooms for new mech that will be coming in after the battle, which is the power-up for the Aestevalis and he needs all junk thrown away which includes the destroyed Lightning Frame, Raul is absolutely against this saying that he'll fix the frame himself but Prospecter says that it might not be possible without the blueprint. The three human chips of the 3 deceased Kalfa General henceforth known as the 3 underlings, did not go back with the Kalfa forces, Suparu had saved them from being scrapped and they can't go back because with Suparu abandoned by Kalfa, they'd be destroy if they go back, they decide to come to RK and begs them to let them live and work for Suparu.

However, Raul realize something, Butcher had prayed to the Kaizoku God before he is destroyed as if it was a living being and he asked Ruri to scan the area for traces of energy. This uncovers the Kaizoku God and Raria and Deis in hiding. Raul doesn't care anymore whether history meant for Uchuuta and Keiko to die, they're his friends and he will save them, along with others, and the Excellence gains a morale boost. The Kaizoku God reveal itself to be a Computer Doll programmed to exterminate evil and it had deemed humanity evil. And again, we get philosophical for a while on humanity's existence and their relation to the universe which more or less ends in a brawl. Raul demands to know where Mitsuho and Raj are but got no replies from Raria and Deis. After finishing Kaizoku God, he die giving Kappei a demoralization akin to the same thing Altea once gave to Hokuto and Ginga. (Same Old Same Old Humans are Evil, must be destroyed before spread out to universe spiel) Kappei is consoled by Quattre and Toho Fuhai who says that they too once ask themselves about humanity and the war they wages on each others and its impact on the univese, the Earth and the answers they came up with was that humans must be destroyed from existence. However, as Domon taught him, humans are a part of Earth, are a part of the universe and those answers are too simplistic and would not solve anything. Humanity has always been a creature of conflict, one result of that is war but that is the easy way out, another answer is peace, which can only be create when both side fights the urge to kill within themselves and resolve conflict peacefully. The total peace movement is one result of that and whether it is right or wrong remains to be seen. What is certain is that the Kaizoku's method of thinking is too simplistic and will only lead to a peace that is accomplished when everything beside them is destroyed. Suparu talks to Hokuto, he says that he will try, he doesn't know what he will try but it's certain he's found a will to live and move beyond Kalfa. Altea acknowledge him as his younger brother and he greets his bigger sister for the first time which made Ginga realize that technically, Suparu is Hokuto's uncle and when Hokuto realize this, he was shocked. Akito serves Suparu and the others who complained about lack of new food on the menu, his newly created Tenkawa Special Ramen that he took a lot of time to perfected, this made Raul realize that nothing from his timeline can be apply to this timeline anymore since in his time, Raul learn that Akito did not perfected the Tenkawa Special Ramen until after he was married to Yurika. Meanwhile, the RK had returned to Earth and meet up with the Neil Agama, who introduce Para to them, they had succeed in stopping Haman and had talk to D.O.M.E., they had also fought Dyuminus who had appeared and Raul asked whether Mitsuho and Raj were there but was told that they didn't know that the two were kidnapped. ======================================================================= Episode 31 Part 3 ======================================================================= New Powerup for the Aestevalis arrives, which is the Aestevalis used in the first 4 stages. Gai is ecstatic and says that it's in a hero's destiny to get a power up to his mech and is put down by others that he is not the hero. Anyway, Gai claims the Super Aestevalis for himself fulfilling a dream of having an adjective in front of his mech's name. For Akito, there is the armoured version of his Aestevalis called the Black Serena, which can Boson Jump and also recovers EN so that it can operate outside Nadesico's range. Akito is told by Inez that he can Boson Jump if he tries and the machine will stop him from being lost in the timestream. From Anaheim electronics, comes the Ra Kairum for Bright, Nu Gundam for Amuro, Sazabi for Quatro, Full Armor ZZ for Judo and Prospector notes that Anaheim sure doesn't miss a beat keeping up with Nergal. This surprises Raul in that these mechs were in his time, the latest in technology and it shouldn't be possible for technology to advance this fast to create them five years earlier. Then Kid, Uribatake shows him the copy that they made from Mitsuho's note when she was asleep designing the Gunner frame some times ago. Raul recognize that Mitsuho had jotted down the design of the mecha, like the Black Serena and more from the Excellence's computer from their time to be used for creating the various Excellence frame. This note, and the one on the Excellence's is in turn copied by Kid and the other and send to Nergal and Anaheim which pretty much gave them the next 5 years' technologies in one swoop and fate probably took a hand in creating the exact same mech for almost exactly the same pilot (Gai not withstanding) Raul wonders what Mitsuho will say when she learns of this development. ======================================================================= Episode 32 ======================================================================= At last, the peace talk between the Jovian and the Earth Government is going to take place. Tsukumo meets with the Earth President to finalize preparations. The Earth president says that with the way the War between the two forces had gone, complete peace might not be possible to achieve initially so first, they will agree to a cease-fire and more talks can begin from there. Relena Dorian is chosen as the Earth's representative to sign the cease-fire, and the RK team blasts off into space. Meanwhile Raul and the other mechanics have finished completion of the Lightning Frame. Raul noted that the Lightning frame that Mitsuho designed originally was held back by her reluctance to create a frame for fighting. The Lightning is based on her old rescue frame, the first one that she worked on, which is an All Mighty Frame which is capable of going anywhere, water, land, air,space. And Raul promise to himself that he will rescue them and that the war-like Lightning Frame can not be Mitsuho's last legacy. Tsukumo and Minato spends sometime alone together and later when Tsukumo met Akito, he says to Akito that once both side have made peace with each other and all the other invaders have been repelled, he wants to propose to Minato who overheard and accepts the proposal. Arriving at the meeting place, the Newtypes senses an evil intention and a desire to kill coming from it and says that it is dangerous to go in there. The Shuffle Alliance +Allenby and Toho Fuhai along with Daitarn 3 decides to go along to provide extra protection. Tsukumo is surprised to see Kusanabe and only military personnel at the peace talk and when Relena reads the peace agreement that the Jovian had drawn up, she was shocked, if they agree to it, it would be as if they surrender to the Jovian under terms of complete surrender without conditions from the Earth. Tsukumo is shocked that Kusanabe produce this document and expects the Earth to agree to it and Kusanabe whips out a pistol proclaiming that there is only one justice and that the EVIL earth empire will fall before the righteous might of the Jovian and shoots Tsukumo. The bullet is intercepted by Domon who snatched it out of midair before it hits him. (The Shuffle Alliance is getting more and more inhuman everyday!!) Tsukumo is barely recovering from the shock and decides to get the others out of here while he tries to distract them, he is confronted by Tsukiyomi who has a gun aimed at him, Tsukiyomi blames all this on Tsukumo who has abandoned the fictional Nanakosan and intends to shoot him but George whips a rose at him knocking the gun from him. Tsukumo is told by the others that he has to live to be a witness to this and to show the Earth that not all Jovian wants war. Hokushin enters the battle with his cronies intent on killing them, but is met by Toho Fuhai and Domon who use the ShoKyuu Haoh DenEh Dan (the previous Map move of God and Master) at them knocking them away while Banjoh calls the Daitarn 3 to take everyone back to the Rakairum and Nadesico. Kusanabe proclaims that the Earthling never wants peace and that they fire the first shot( which is a complete lie) and this incites the Jovian military and they deploy along with the Frost Brother who have allied themselves with the Jovian. Garrod is stunned to see theme alive and ask why they want war and they tell him that the Earth has rejected them and now they must pay the price. ======================================================================= Episode 32 Part 2 ======================================================================= Though Tsukumo tries to talk to his friends, they won't listen to him claiming that he betrayed them for an Earth woman. After finishing all of them off, the adorable trio comes to help the Jovian but it is then that Excellence Lightning makes its majestic debut. Raul demands to know from them where Mitsuho and Raj are kept and the other two says that they can't tell him, but Deis says that if he wants to know, he'll have to beat it out of her and attacks the Lightning claiming that it is a piece of junk that she wrecked before. This time, the Lightning is not a still frame in a base to be destroyed and it avoided the attack hitting back crippling Deis's mecha in one shot. Raul asks them once more, tell him where the two are being kept or he'll destroy them all. Deis is shocked at this utter defeat and begins to cry and Raria and Despinis catches her and retreat but tells Raul that the two are being kept on the Kalfa home planet as per his agreement with Deis and they leave. Kusanabe is furious at the trio for not being to do anything when he is informed by Hokushin that the new models have been completed and he will deploy to destroy the RK. The new models are the mech Hokushin pilots in the future along with the DevilAestevalis. Tsukumo is surprised at the new model not looking anything like Gekigangar based Jovian mech but is told that the Jovian probably use the data from the Aestevalis that they took over and remade as Devil Aestevalis to create them. Beat them all and Bright orders the RK to retreat from the place. Tsukumo could only bow his head in apology to Relena for the way things turned out but is told by her that it's not his fault and that there can always be newer peace meeting but only if he lives to instigate them when the time is right. Everyone is looking at the Lightning frame complimenting Raul and the Mechanic for a job well done, Raul now knows where the two are and asks Altea and Vega where the Kalfa planet is and is told that it resides far away from Earth and that it is impossible for them to go rescue the two right now with the war between the Jovian and Earth forcefully reignited and that it is hopeless to divide their forces to both fight the Jovian and the Kalfa because all of them are needed. Raul has to content himself with knowing where they are. Elsewhere, Deis is crying like a baby having to be conforted by Raria and Despinis at losing BIG- time to the Lightning. Meanwhile Tsukumo and the others are talking, Tsukumo says that the original reason that the Jovian decides to ask for peace with Earth is because their supplys are running low and they probably will be wiped out completely if a full blown war last a long time. This annoys some people who says that it's a bit unfair of the Jovian to want peace when losing and not wanting it when they are winning. Nevertheless, Tsukumo confirms that he is not the sole Jovian who wants peace, there had been others who pressure the Jovian military for it and the military along with Kusanabe used it to dupe the remaining Jovian to remain at war with Earth. Tsukumo wonders why they did it because the Jovian are in no winning position when the possibility of a new technology that might turn the war against Earth falling into Jovian hand is mentioned and Tsukumo then tells Bright to head for Mars right away. He knows that Kusanabe and the others have found the Boson Jump BlackBox. ======================================================================= Episode 33 ======================================================================= Arriving on Mars, Tsukumo tells them that the Jovian technology originally comes from the ruins of Mars and that they realize that the Boson Jump that they used have a BlackBox somewhere which regulates all Boson Jump and had been trying to find it. With it they can control the Boson Jump and use it to go anywhere instantaneously, which would mean a HUGE advantage over the enemy. Tsukumo reasons that Kusanabe had probably found it's location and therefore is certain of winning against the Earth that he decides to scrap the peace talk with Earth. Back at the Jovian base, Kusanabe is told of the RK heading towards Mars and realize that they know about the Blackbox. Saburota says that Tsukumo probably betrayed them and told the Earthling everything. The Frost Brother doesn't know what the BlackBox is but if any weapon is greater than their Satellite Launcher, they want it either destroyed, or theirs and they begin to make plans. Finding the site, they see an escaped Mechanoid plane SOSing them and when they rescue the pilot, Banjou finds that it is his father's friend who is responsible for the process that transforms ordinary human into Mechanoid Cyborg Solider. Banjou hates him for what he did when the professor said that the reason he created the process in the first place was because he did not believe that normal human can survive outside of Earth on other planets and that they cannot wait to become Newtypes. Banjou decide that killing this man won't solve a thing, and won't bring back anyone who had been hurt by his technology and walks away angry. The Professor have one news for them, Koros had found the Boson Jump Black Box and is finding a way to utilize it. The RK can not let the Mechanoid have the technology and Daitarn 3 deploys to fight the Mechanoid along with the rest of the RK to meet the previous Commander and Koros, Mechanoid mech BosonJump out and Koros tells the RK not to underestimate Mechanoid technology. Beat the Commander's vehicle and they come out to fight in their Megaborg form, Beat them all and destroy Koros and Don Sauser pops up wanting revenge on the RK for destroying Koros. Banjou fights him and he is even more enormous than Daitarn and Banjou wonders whether he can beat him when he hears a mysterious voice saying that Don Sauser only temporarily awaken because of Koros's death and he will soon return to slumber. Banjou tells the voice to shut up and that he won't take the voice's help, calling the voice, Dad. (I think the voice is just Banjou's subconscious, or an aspect of Banjou's Dad that is left on Don but I don't really know) Banjou then defeated Don Sauser putting his ghost to rest. Later, the escaped professor decides to leave to spend out the rest of his life alone leaving Banjou and the others to deal with everything that had happened because of the Mechanoid claiming that he is tired. Banjou curses him and his father for being selfish by dying and leaving messes for other people to clean. The RK team investigate the Blackbox and although Uribatake and Prospector wants to take this back to Nergal to research it, the rest of the team wants to destroy it even though it would mean no one would be able to Boson Jump afterward. However it proves to have a barrier that is impenetrable to their weapon and plans are made to dig it up and transport it back to Earth so that it can be used as a bargaining chip against the Jovian. ======================================================================= Episode 34 ======================================================================= We see a scene of Dyuminus talking to an unknown person, it is clear that he is Dyuminus's creator. The creator tells him that Dyuminus is a mistake that should never has exist , he is an error, a Dyuminus. And Dyuminus ask why he is an error, Why should he not exist, he wants to exist, what is he, he ask his creator to tell him and the Creator tells him the same thing, that he is an error that must be erased, and Dyuminus asked again why he is an error and his Creator tries to kill him and Dyuminus retaliate asking again why he is an error, a failed product and in the process, accidentially killing his creator. Duminus wakes up, it's been the same nightmare again, of his Birth, all those years ago. He asked himself, why did his creator not accept him, why did he call Dyuminus an error, what is he? And if he IS an error,what was his creator trying to create? But soon, he will have those answers, with the Excellence's Time Engine that his two hostages are building, he plans to go back in time to ask his creator once more, what is he? And what is his purpose? This bout of nightmare worries Raria and Despinis and they asked Mitsuho and Raj who are working on the Time Engine to explain. Mitsuho says that in building something, many trials and test have to be done, over and over, each one produces errors and failed products which it's inventor used to learn where things went wrong to create a better finished result product and that the error are probably destroyed or reuse. They thanks her for her answer and she talks to Raj, they are in agreement that they cannot let Dyuminus use the TimeEngine to go back in time and Raj plans to sabotage the engine they are building, and he tells Mitsuho to try and modify the Excellence Frame that they have recreate for testing the Time Engine so that it could move and get them away. Raj says to Mitsuho that he had heard from the trio that Raul had rebuilt her Lightning Frame and that Raul will come rescue them and they have to keep trying to stay alive. The Jovian have arrived to take back the BlackBox and it would be a while before it can be digged up. Algo decides to talk with the commander and tells them to withdraw, otherwise they will destroy the BlackBox. Though he is told that by doing that, all Jovian forces will attack killing them, Algo says that while they may die, the Jovian could not possibly survive a full scale war against Earth without the use of BosonJumping and the Jovian decides to retreat giving them more time. Algo says that his time as a space pirate helps when it comes to Mexican style face-off. Kusanabe berates (I keep forgetting his name, the stout Jovian who is a Musashi archetype and Saburota's superior) for withdrawing but he says that they don't know if the RK could really destroy the BlackBox and that without the Jovian threat of attack, they would more likely dig it up to take back to Earth and that it is better to attack then. It is then that Despinis arrives and offers to help. The Jovian attack once more and Tsukumo deploys and ask his fellow Jovian that they are being misled and that the Earthling really wants peace. Saburota berates him for abandoning Gekiganga for a woman and Tsukumo counters that Gekiganga is the greatest piece of work he has ever seen that teaches them love, friendship, and a nekketsu way of life, but that it is something that their forefathers brought when they were driven from Earth. Tsukumo believes that they should grow beyond Gekiganga, because by limiting their life to the experience in the show that see things as black and white, they limit themselves, and that the value that the show promotes is not one of igniting war and taking lives of other. This stirs Tsukiyomi and the other a bit but Hokushin arrives and berated them for falling for an enemy ploy to buy time while they dig up the Black Box. The Jovian then turns a blind ear to Tsukumo and commence attack. The ground shakes and the Devil Gundam and Despinis appears, with the BlackBox in tow, they both attack the Nadesico, crippling it. The Rakairum then appears from below apologizing for letting the Devil Gundam take the BlackBox. Despinis and the DG leave but she left the Jovian some other DG to help. Bright orders all units to deploy to help the Nadesico. When fighting, Tsukumo confronts his friends once more, none of them is willing to listen to him, Tsukiyomi is also angry at Tsukumo saying that the value of Gekiganga is the most important thing to him, even beyond life. After a while, they noticed that Jovian mech are BosonJumping out of a Tulip and that they need to wreck the one behind the Devil Gundams to stop it. Do it or kill them all and the RK decides to return to Earth to plan their next move. However, they find out that the Nadesico had been damaged beyond repairs and that they would have to leave it on Mars. Yurika is saddened by this and ask whether it really can't be repair, when told no, she sadly agrees to board the Rakairum and all transfers are made to it, along with the essence of Omoikane in a disk, and it blast off returning to Earth leaving the Nadesico ruins behind. Back at the Jovian base, havok has erupted, Despinis has taken the BlackBox from the Martian Ruins, but had never stopped along the way to give it to the Jovian (never trust a girl who has a monster at her beckon, Kusanabe, that'll teach you) and their defeat at Earth's hand lies imminient. The Frost Brother had also betrayed them and left with Despinis. Tsukiyomi sees that Kusanabe won't give in to the Earth and he thinks long and hard before confronting Saburota's superior telling him what really happened at the failed peace talk. ======================================================================= Episode 35 ======================================================================= The RK team had returned to Earth only to find the various professors of the Super Robot Lab gathered at the Meteo spaceship. It's not good news, the Kalfa Planet have begun to move out of orbit and is heading straight for Earth (It's Impact time again) and the only way to stop them is to finally go take out the Kalfa Emperor before it reaches Earth and the only way to do that is to use the Meteo ship to reach the planet. The Kalfa Planet was originally Altekrus, the planet which Vega and Altea originates from, Kalfa was a computer designed to protect their planet but it declared itself Emperor after a mysterious circumstance and begin destroying and persecuting the people of Altekrus resulting in Altea being brainwashed and Vega escaping to Earth. In order to enter the main planet, they must destroy the barrier shield that protects it on one of it's moons, this will allow them enough time to enter the planet before back-up system operates. Daigouji Gai notes that it's finally the climax , invading an enemy stronghold and can't wait to go there, but the others are wondering how the Aestevalis are going to operate without the Gravity energy from Nadesico. This is solved when Prospector and Uribatake unveils the Nadesico- C which is made by plans taken from Mitsuho's data (which in turn was create from watching the actual ship in operation in their timeline) Before leaving, the GEARS mechanic decide to return Dendoh to it's two-seaters composition noting that it is better to have all 6 Data Weapon in one unit and Hokuto asked who will pilot Ogre, is it Subaru? The pilot is none other than Ogre's original pilot Altea, who had recovered and plans to fight to pay back for his crime when he unintentionally is Kalfa's slave and Ogre's Gear Commander shines welcoming him back. Meanwhile, Relena is talking to the Earth's President telling of what happen with the Jovian and apologizing for what happen stating that Tsukumo is not to blame and she will work for peace with the Jovian once the time is right. That time might be coming faster than expected when the Earth President shows her a newer message from a faction of the Jovian asking for another peace talk. The Meteo left and Nagare Ryouma watches from afar saying " Musashi, there goes our successor, off to fight the battle for the planet's future" (GOD, if only the original story had Ryouma in a Getter 1 to help them, then he'd be there to help them in this game) As the Meteo reach the Kalfa planet, and it lets out the RaKairum and Nadesico C, they are met by the Adorable Trio and the mechas built from the plans they have swiped,Devil Aestevalis, Fake Combattler, MP Great. They are also met up by the Frost Brothers who said that they have all the winning cards now, and they will destroy the Earth and all for declaring that they are a failure product. What's worse is that Zero appeared and he says that he is IMMORTAL and he won't let them pass. ======================================================================= Episode 35 Part 2 ======================================================================= However help arrives in the form of Tsukiyomi piloting the new Altromecia. He tellst the RK that he is here to help saying that the Jovian's Coup against Kusanabe had occurred through those who learned of what had really happened and that Saburota, his superior are back at their home planet stirring up forces to take Kusanabe down and that they had sent him here to help them as a sign of good will to show them that THIS time, there really will be a peace talk between the two forces. Tsukumo thanks Tsukiyomi for the assist though the others RK are a bit angry at him for being a party to the original fiasco, for keeping it a secret so that Kusanabe could further his ambition and for not spilling the bean earlier, nevertheless, they accept his help and say that they will talk to Relena and the Earth President later to support the rebellion and to hold peace talk with them. This is going to be one heck of a battle as Raria and Deis along with the Frost comes at you along with the Immortal man who keeps coming back and doesn't have a penny on him (what are you, broke?) The Frost Brother bit it hard here, and they die screaming why this has happen to someone like THEM ( couldn't have happened to a nicer guy) After knocking Zero's Hp to 0 for about 3 times and he keeps coming back, things are looking pretty bleak , but Hokuto and Ginga just wouldn't give up, they'll find a way somehow to beat him, Altea isn't giving up either and neither is Tsukumo and Tsukiyomi who are fighting for a brighter future for the Jovian, the RK team, though tired, is still willing to go another few round with Zero, for the sake of their planet's tomorrow, they won't give up hope. And then, the body of Vega when she was a child appear stating that those who gather all 7 Data Weapon will have power to be King of the Universe, and that limitless power is based on Hope. Vega suddenly realize that the child who looked like her younger self, IS the 7th Data weapon, it wants Hope to bond to the Gear Fighter, but since Hope is something that can move a battalion to fight even when the situation is dire, just one person's hope is not enough, that's why there is two seats in Dendoh, that's why there is two Gears Fighter, the hope for the same thing had to come from more than one person, it had to come from all of the people who are hoping for a better tomorrow, to change the way things are now and the Phoenix reveals it's true form and it is saved by Hokuto, Ginga and Altea giving Dendoh and Ogre new weapon and limitless energy. That's nice and fine, except Zero really IS immortal, so once Vega reaches the Kalfa moon and along with Subaru destroy the generator for the force field, Both Dendoh, Ogre and Vega in her plane enters the Kalfa planet and Zero have to go after them. The RK team follows suit but is stopped by Despinis and the DG. Bright orders them to destroy these three and follow Dendoh in quickly before the Back-Up Barrier comes back on-line. Entering the planet, they are shocked to find that the Kalfa Planet for the Kalfa Mechanical Empire is a place of nature, with greenery everywhere, a place where Nature had reigned, this enraptures TohoFuhai as this is the state that he wants Earth to be in. Raul decides to go scout ahead to look for ways to break in and find Raj and Mitsuho, he is accompanied by the Neo Getter Team. ======================================================================= Episode 36, ======================================================================= Dyuminus is still wondering to himself, what is his purpose, why is he created, what is he? In the years that have followed since he had accidentially kill his creator in defense, he had wandered the cosmos meeting up with other mechanical life form like the Kalfa Emperor and Kaizoku, he had grown strong too, he had become a creator himself creating Raria, Despinis and Deis, but through it all, he keeps coming back to the same questions. But soon he would have the power to go across time, and he would finally get his answer, WHAT IS HE?? Raj and Mitsuho have waited and they decided to use the Test-Excellence's frame to escaped, they are found by Zero who crippled it, he had allowed them to live because Dyuminus requested it to the Kalfa emperor but now he will kill them, he is suddenly called on a parameter breach and realize that it must be the RK who he had lost while reentering Kalfa planet orbit and leaves them thinking that they probably won't be much trouble even if he let the two live. Meanwhile Hokuto had spotted a little child, who possibly couldn't be here on a planet ruled by those intent on wiping out organic lifeform and they went to investigate, they find a hidden settlement of Altekrusian which have hidden itself away from Kalfa. Hokuto is mistaken for Altea but the person suddenly realize that it isn't Altea. Altea comes and asked who the person is, the person is the former chief priest of Altekrus, Alko. After Kalfa decides to become Emperor and wiped out the Altekrusian who resisted him, he and many others have escaped and live in hiding. This was successful because the Kalfa Emperor did not paid much attention to the home planet after that, but going after other planets in the universe so they are still alive. One piece of important news that Alko tells the RK is that Kalfa, originally a computer designed to protect Altekrus, started to call itself Emperor after it met with Dyuminus. Dyuminus had been gone for years but had suddenly returned. Vega and the other notes that Kalfa is a computer, it is possible that Dyuminus somehow changed it's programming. This angers Domon because a lot of the trouble that they had encountered, such as the Devil Gundam's resurrection, had all been because of it and now they learn that Dyuminus is also behind the Kalfa Emperor's reign of terror and realize that his work goes beyond the trouble on Earth alone. (I'm wondering if the Kaizoku also result from Dyuminus in this time-line, it's very possible) Vega introduces Hokuto, her son, to Alko and state that they have come to defeat the Kalfa Emperor, the 7 data weapon have been collect and had lend them their strength along with the RK team from Earth. Alko is stunned at Vega's word but still does not believe that the Kalfa emperor can be beaten. Vega tells him that the Phoenix lives on hope and that he and the remaining Altekrusian shouldn't lose it and is seconded by Subaru. Subaru is then confronted by a woman who asked whether he has a mark on his body (don't remember where). It seems that she lost her son some years ago when he was a baby to a Kalfa attack, the boy had the same hair colour as Subaru and would be the same age as him. Subaru said that he does have the marking and the RK team suddenly realize that she is Subaru's mother. ======================================================================= Episode 36 Part 2 ======================================================================= The silence is broken by an alarm, the Excellence and the Shin Getter have been found and the final battle against Kalfa is about to start. Suparu tells Alko not to give up hope and is supported by his mom who intend to spread hope to the others. Zero finds the Excellence and Shin Getter who had tried to tunnel in to the Kalfa Palace but encounter a forcefield protecting it. Soon the place is swamped by the Adorable trio and their army along with Kalfa Army. The RK team arrives and the battle against Kalfa begins. After the trio and their army are taken care of . Zero is left standing and he is determined to beat them, and combines with his mecha. Hokuto and Ginga hears the voice of the Phoenix and is told that Zero is a part of the Kalfa Emperor and that they coexist together, as long as one of them is alive, the other can be reborn. The only way to totally destroy them is to kill them at the same time (or turn) and Hokuto then calls upon the Phoenix's power to destroy the Barrier to get to the Kalfa Emperor who soon appear as a multi headed cyber dog. (LOOK, the Emperor has no cloth, and no money too!!,) Defeating them both in the same turn and he will die cursing the RK and humans, while Alko and the others looks and utter that it is a miracle. Then out pops Dyuminus, he state to the RK that he has finally gotten the power that he wants, the ability to travel through time from the Time Engine , and that this is goodbye to the RK, he will go meet his creator to learn his purpose and what he is. GOODBYE Dyuminus, as the Time engine roars to life and explodes seriously seriously hurting him. Raj and Mitsuho is seen by Raul and he picks them up to go to the Rakairum, Mitsuho then learned that the technology of 5 years later is being used now thanks to her notes. Deis recognize this as sabotage from the two and vows to get them but Dyuminus comes first and they take Dyuminus away with the RK team in hot pursuit . ======================================================================= Episode 37 ======================================================================= Raj explains that the Time Engine could not alone create a time warp and that it was through the explosion of the Nadesico C in their timeline that made it occur, if it is used alone, the overheat of it will result in an explosion, Raj made sure that the explosion was bigger than normal to kill Dyuminus but it seems to only left him really injured. Nevertheless, he figure that if Dyuminus were to explode, they can probably harness the power of the explosion into the Lightning and travel home, although the Lightning might explode afterward. The problem is what to do with the other 5 frames, they can't leave it here to contaminate history even more and Banjou, Garrison and Inez comes out telling them that they'll destroy the frames for them. These three have figured it out but had kept quiet to the others. Meanwhile Dyuminus is dying and Deis, Despinis and Raria wonders what they can do to save their creator, Deis hits on an idea but it will require a very big sacrifice on their part, Raria objects to it and says for the two to run and he'll try to get Dyuminus to safety and beat off the RK. They won't have any word of it and say that they are born of Dyuminus and if they have to sacrifice everything to save their creator, it is worth it. Dyuminus tries to object but the decision is made and he tells them that until he can rebuild their personality, they would be nothing more than empty husk, and he ask what he can give them when he rebuild them Despinis wants to be kinder and more gentle, Raria wants to be more like a man and Deis, Deis wants a older, bustier body like Enil or the DOA Beach VolleyBall Girls. As the RK enters the final battle,they met Raria and the others who then sacrifice their life energy, their personality and everything else they have to revive Dyuminus. What remains of them is empty husks that is still determine to protect Dyuminus. (Well, this is a first that we've had to battle a kind and loving family, homicidal to others, they may be) The RK team tells Dyuminus to give it up, but Dyuminus is determined to succeed because his children had already sacrifice themselves for him, He states that he will get his answer, WHAT IS HE? , because even though the Time Engine that Mitsuho and Raj built for him is no more, there is still One other Time Engine left. Dyuminus screams "EXCELLLENCE!!, I WILL have your Time Engine!!!!" "With it, I will go across time and get my answer!!" This stuns the other members and they ask Dyuminus what he is shouting about and Dyuminus answers that the Excellence is in reality, a Time Machine. This more or less stuns the others and then the Excellence makes it majestic debut for it's final battle with all three aboard. ======================================================================= Episode 37 Part 2 ======================================================================= All of Dyuminus's army has SuperRepair Kit and they will use it, now it's ok for MP Great, DevilAestevalis because they go down easy, the various DG, the former Adorable Trio and Dyuminus is another thing with their huge HP, so choose to kill them all carefully. Dyuminus also has a large number of support defense for his children so use MAP weapon to soften them all up, and concentrate on one or two per turn. If Dyuminus dies before them, he'll come back at full strength. Once the Trio are disposed of, and Dyuminus bites it, he states that if he cannot exist in this form, then he will change to another form to exist and he morphs into his 2nd form. Beat him and he will change into a third form, all the while he will scream out his question, why does he exist, why does others not accept his existence and why does he hate those like family who accepts their children. Vega says that it is normal for a mother, a parent to accept their children. But Dyuminus says that that wasn't so with his creator, and it wasn't so with the others he had met, so he kill kill kill kill them all, those who will not accept his existence, those that resist him, so that things will change to suit him. The RK team feels for Dyuminus who seems to be in his own personal torment but then they realize that because of him, billions have died and in the end, Dyuminus IS a failed product. Kill Dyuminus and he morphs into his 3rd and last form. Dyuminus whimper as he is dying, is he to die not knowing what he is? Mitsuho answers him that she might have an inkling on what Dyuminus is based on the short time she is around him and the behaviour that he exhibit during the battle. His loathing for other who found acceptance between each others, His hatred and anger toward those who threaten him and would not accept him, his desire to know, his desire to exist and the extermination of those who intend him harm, they all point to one race, Dyuminus IS A HUMAN. Mitsuho theorized. He exhibit all quality of humanity, both good and bad. They may never actually know what his creator intend to create, whatever it is, it is based on humanity. And Dyuminus dies, realizing what he is, a human, and the RK team decides to withdraw seeing that the energy in Dyuminus is going critical, all except the Excellence which remains, intending on harnessing the explosion. Bright asks what they are doing but are told by Banjou to let them do it and in the midst of the explosion, the Excellence disappear, leaving Banjou, Garrison and Inez to tell the rest of the team a story they wouldn't easily believe. Suparu decides later to remain on Altekrus to begin it's revival. Vega says that they'll have to go back to Earth to begin peace talk with the Jovian although the Coup is probably over and they didn't participate in it though she believe that it end in victory for the rebellion and asks for the Boson Jump Black Box to be kept here seeing that it is the safest place from the Jovian like Kusanabe or any other faction that might want to use it for selfish uses. ======================================================================= Epilogue ======================================================================= 5 years later.... At the scene of the final battle against the Martian Successor, the Excellence Lightning appears once more, Raul, Raj, and Mitsuho have finally arrived in their own time, however the Excellence could not withstand the pressure of time travel and even though Raj wants to save the Time Engine, they all had to bail leaving them without anything. They see that they are back where they started, but there are no more Martian Successor, no sign of the Boson JumpBlack Box. Suddenly they see it, the Nadesico C, with Saburota, Ruri and Haley arriving and Saburota asks if those are the three that were involved five years ago in the Dyuminus incident and Ruri says yes. After being rescued by them, they are shocked to discover that Saburota is now the Captain of the Nadesico C with Ruri only being a passenger who came here to welcome them back. With Akito and Yurika having never been kidnapped because the Jovian Coup was a complete success, both Akito, Yurika, Megumi soon quit the Round Knight soon after the final battle and Ruri went along with them and Akito soon open his Ramen Shop and it is still going strong. ( So I guess Kusanabe, Hokushin have been firmly defeated, imprisoned or executed, anyway with the BlackBox on Altekrus, they probably can't get it even if they are still at large) No mention was made of other Jovian like Tsukiyomi, or Tsukumo and Minato, but I like to believe that they got married and along with Yukina live a happy life soon after. Captain Saburota says that he will soon have to go to meet Campbell Ambassador and the three learn that in the 5 years since then, new Campbell force have come looking for peace with Earth. (I'm not sure if the same was with the Boazan, but I'd like to think so, that Voltes V and Hainel met up and liberated it from Emperor ZanZibal) and he said that he's seen picture of Katherine and Queen Janerra as an example of Boazan and Campbell woman and he prefers those like Katherine more than Janerra. This leaves him to be berated by Haley. Garrison welcomes them back and tells them that the King Bial along with the Zambot team and Banjou will soon come back to Earth, they had left( probably along with Combattler and Voltes) to finalize things with the Campbell. Prospector and Uribatake comes looking for Raj saying that they have a proposition for him, they want to offer him fundings for his Time Engine project and Mitsuho asked whether that includes the Excellence. Sadly she is told that the Excellence technology is 5 years behind, which results from her bringing future technology into the past resulting in even more advanced technology when they came back. Mitsuho is stunned to find out that the Excellence technology that she had worked so hard on is outdated and begins to cry knowing that SHE is outdated as well, Raul comfort her saying that he'll stand by her, he won't leave her, and what's 5 years worth of technology anyhow, she can catch up and one day, they will build the Excellence again. Raj talks to Garrison who asked him whether it was such a good idea to reject Nergal's offer, but he says that he, Raul and Mitsuho are a team and to leave the two of them behind is something that he just won't do, with that in mind, he has a proposition for Garrison and Banjou. 1 year later.. Since then, Raul and Mitsuho have set up a small repair shop, they have had contacts with Duo who had returned to his old job as a junksman and repair things for him. It was hard at first, with them being on the opposite end of being 5 years behind the time in technology but Mitsuho had proven herself a quick learner and she has mastered many of the new tech even though some still puzzled her. And one day when they are alone, Raul is comforting Mitsuho who wonders if she'll ever pick up all the new tech and create some new tech of her own, and the mood was right and their lips come closer to each other, Raj comes in and interrupts, really killing the mood. He has a proposition for them, in the one year since their return, he had proposed to Banjou and the Earth Government to create a rescue squad, capable of dealing with natural disaster, which is what the Excellence was originally created for by Mitsuho, and he wants the two to join up, and together they will create a new Excellence to be used as it was meant to be, a rescue machine. The two accepts and with it, Super Robot Wars Reversal comes to an end. Thankyou for reading, See you next war!! =================================================================== CREDITS =================================================================== nitake92(nitake92@hotmail.com) who do the translation on SRWG forum, take his comments: This game in my opinion has a very good story i.e. using G Gundam team after their TV story, mixing the TV Nadesico crew with their movie mech. Haman and the other bosses aren't that hard to kill, especially MS bosses, God I hate how high their Hp were in Impact. It's impossible to kill using Real Robots Some things that did bug me is that a. there weren't much of a focus on Mazinger(but that's personal) b. Ryouma isn't a secret pilot and didn't do much (again that's personal) c. The game feels quite easy in some stages d, The game has bugs, (of two character being in the same position and later the character can not be selected because they are one with the background) e. That you didn't get to use the movie character as much as I feel you should, I.e. Movie Nadesico and New Gundam. I mean, yes, they were all you have for four stages but still there should have been more, I wanted to use Captain Ruri, Saburota a little more. I guess that's it. I don't think I'll do the Neo Zion Gundam X route because I've just become quite busy these days,(working to save for OG and G Gen Neo) so if anyone want to do them, be my guest the super robot wars genesis's forum(www.srw.proboards.com) BANDBRESTO for SRW games
