It’s hard to tell but there’s another mook under the water to the south, but it flickers on opposite frames to the one in the north
This puzzle is about getting Marbet to the other side of the bridge and understanding the enemy’s weaponry. Cast Invincible (next hit does 10 damage) and move as far as you can underwater to the north of the bridge. The enemy mooks in the water can’t fire their weapons underwater and Invincible will keep you alive from the only weapon that can hit you. Cast it again and move as far as you can while still underwater. Invincible will again keep you alive and by being underwater, the other mooks who can hit you will only deal 10 damage due to beam rifles not working on underwater targets. Final turn, move onto the objective square for the win.

Victory nets 20k money and a +15 accuracy skill part.

Intermission time!

Gou may be dead, but the Getter lives on. There’s actually a bit of choice when dealing with Ryoma, Hayato, and Benkei. The default (and arguably best) choice is to keep them in Shin Getter, but you can also move the three of them into either Getter-1 or Black Getter. Black Getter can’t transform, but a three pilot Getter-1 can. Or you can have Ryoma and Benkei pilot a 1 seater Black/Getter-1, leaving Hayato sitting on the bench. This isn’t like Daikessen where you can mix/match pilots to include Kei and Gai, but this is fine. For the moment, we’ll be using Shin Getter.

Last time, we believed in the Getter.


Chapter 14: Assault! The Gishin Empire’s Vega Fleet
Chapter 15 if you chose the Earth Route


[Planet Gishin, Palace]
What? Something strange is happening on Earth?
Yes. There’s this organism that multiplies like mad on Earth. The Earthlings call them “Invaders”.
…What’s the status of the Vega fleet?
Commander Gandal joined up with Commander Kloppen’s Zaal fleet. They’re reported that preparations are complete for an assault on Earth. We’ve also got a report that Gul’s infiltration was a success.
I see. Good. They may begin.

(Is the Vega fleet finally going to attack? I have to let Mars know…)


[Gishin Empire, Mobile Fortress]
The Emperor…
That’s right. Let this to the Vega fleet. Commander Kloppen, your Zaal fleet continues to lose in battle. It would be better for you to provide supplies and logistical support instead.
Dammit, you’re no better! Commander Gandal, you let Grendizer escape from Planet Fleed! The Earthlings are tough enough, but there’s also that unknown robot that’s protecting Mars, Helios’ secret weapon Daltanious, and Grendizer from Planet Fleed. Don’t think that it’s going to be easy.
I’m well aware!
Our first objective is to kill Mars. The second is to destroy Daltanious and Grendizer to prevent an uprising. We’re not weak like you guys. In the honor of Gishin, we’ll be destroying the Earthlings.
Woman, stay quiet.
You can silence me after you win.
Hmph. Cheeky woman.
What was that?
Nothing.
Blacky, what are you doing? Hurry up and start the operation.
Of course, Lady Gandal.
This will be an indiscriminate attack. Do it properly. Only a preemptive attack will defeat the enemy.
Ma’am!
Lady Gandal…
(Gandal’s face keeps opening like that. Creepy.)
Blacky, don’t underestimate them.
Alright. Go ahead and show them what the Vega fleet is really capable of.


[Ra Cailum, Residential Area]
…?!
(Mars… Can you hear me, Mars?)
(Who’s there!?)
(Mars, a new fleet is approaching Earth. You need to act now.)
(This voice…. Are you the same man who told me about Godmars?)
(You need to hurry, Mars. A psychic from Planet Gishin has infiltrated somewhere. Be careful.)
(A Gishin? Wait, you’re…)
(Mars… Survive.)

…keru. Takeru! What’s wrong, Takeru!?
Mika? I…
You just suddenly stopped what you were doing. What happened?
…I have to talk to the Captains.


[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
Report.
All reports state that almost all of the Getter radiation on Earth is gone. Additional reports from OZ bases around the planet state they cannot confirm the presence of any more Invaders. Furthermore, Shin Dragon has gone silent.
I see… Seems like Getter Ray containment has finally succeeded.
It’s all gone.
Now people don’t need to be afraid of Invaders anymore.
You’re right, Marbet.
…
So what happened to Stinger and Cowen?
According to Battle 7, an unidentified object was heading towards Jupiter.
Jupiter…
So what are we going to do now?
I don’t think they’ll take our victory lying down. We have to pursue them.
Captain, Commander Jin, a communication from the OZ maritime salvage fleet. They just told us that they have begun salvaging the Tower.
I see. We’ll leave the Tower’s repairs to them as we’ve discussed.
Repairing the Tower?
We still have to deal with BESPA and Ruina on the surface. The Tower is still needed. Once restored, it will fall under ownership of THE BOYS. Yamazaki.
Commander.
You will be in charge of salvaging and repairing the tower. You’ll also be commanding it from then on.
R…Roger that.
The Ra Cailum will head back to space. Is that alright, Captain Bright?
Understood. We’ll carry out resupplies at the Bulge up there.
Pursuing the Invaders, huh?
Yes. We can’t leave Stinger and Cowen alone.
Excuse me.
What’s up, Takeru?
Yes, well…

What? The Gishin Empire?
Are you sure?
It came from the same voice that told me about Godmars. I believe it.
The Gishin Empire’s Vega fleet…
Do you know them?
…It’s the same fleet that attacked my home planet, Fleed. They’ve finally reached Earth…
I see… We should have Neo Zeon and OZ’s space forces prepare to intercept.
What about the Gishin psychic?
We don’t know where they’re infiltrating. There’s no reasonable way to conduct a search.
It’s unfortunate, but we have to step up our vigilance.
Hmph. There’s no reason to hesitate. We should go to space right away.
Alright. Everyone to your stations!
Dad. we…
I don’t mind you coming, but a Getter Team consists of three people. You can’t pilot Shin Getter right now.
…


[Space Fortress Bulge, Conference Room]
So what’s happening?
Right now, Commander-in-Chief Char and Lord Treize are using Takeru’s information to plan for the enemy’s fleet.
And the Invaders?
They’re going to send out Valkyries equipped with Fold Boosters on a recon mission.
All the way to Jupiter?
Yep.
Jupiter has a sizable population, between the mining projects on the moons and their own fleet. I’m a bit worried…
Kamille, have you heard from Judau?
…Not a peep. I hope he’s okay, but we’ll have to wait to hear the results from Battle 7.
Who’s that?
Judau Ashta… If I recall correctly, he was a mobile suit pilot for the AEUG during the Axis conflict. A newtype too.
You’re correct. After the war, he went to Jupiter with another person, Roux Louka.
Waaaaaaaaah!
Suzy, what’s wrong?
Where’s Takeru?
He’s not here. Did something happen?
Takeru’s a jerk.
Takeru went to the computer room by himself, so I was planning on pranking him. But he got really angry, pushed Suzy, and ran off somewhere else.
The heck?
Takeru did something like that?
Hey, what happened?
There you are!
Takeru, apologize to Suzy.
Me? Why?

No way! That wasn’t me!
What are you talking about? You did it right in front of us!
What a minute! I haven’t seen you guys yet!
Takeru, where have you been all this time?
I was in my room on the Ra Cailum.
…
Hey everyone, mind if I ask you something? Maria seems to just have had another prediction. Something bad is happening in the Bulge.
I’m not sure exactly wha… What’s wrong with you guys?
Well here’s the thing…
[Door opens]
Lady Une, is the meeting over?
Is Takeru Myojin here?
Yes, that’s me.
You’re under arrest. Come with me.
You’re kidding!
What did he do, Specialist?
Just now, we’ve discovered an anomaly in our fleet’s guidance system. Because of that, accidents and near misses are happening non stop.
I know that’s rough, but what does that have to do with Takeru?
After double checking our system, we discovered that it was hacked from inside the Bulge. The cameras found Takeru Myojin at the scene.
That’s impossible! I never did anything like that!
…Specialist, something’s wrong. Just now, these children claimed to have run into Takeru without him knowing.
…Regardless, I have to bring Takeru Myojin with me.
Wait a moment!
What the hell is happening…
Brother, could this be…
Yes… This must be the work of the Gishin infiltrator. This is what Maria predicted.
What?
I heard that some Gishin psychics have the ability to transform. Maybe they’re trying to confuse us and get Mars arrested.
A Gishin assassin?
Could that really be it…?
You’ve got to be shitting me. How are we supposed to find someone like that?
Hmm… If it’s true, then the enemy won’t necessarily remain in Takeru’s form forever.
Specialist Lady Une, I have an idea. First, we can’t let the infiltrator know that we’re onto them.
…Understood. I’ll leave it to you. Deal with this as quickly as possible.


[Battle 7, Medical Floor]
Oh, welcome back, Gamlin. Docker’s recovery is making progress.
That’s good to hear.
What about the others?
The soldiers who were attacked earlier are finally showing signs of recovery.
That’s good news. Dr. Chiba, did you discover a cure?
It’s too early to tell.
What are they projecting into that hospital room?
It’s a movie about Lynn Minmay that just got a remake.
I know about it. Mylene voiced Minmay.
I think their recovery is connected to that movie. Especially the music.
What makes you think that?
Over here.

Wow, such a cool room. It’s full of Lynn Minmay posters.
I need to sit down.
…What is this?
It’s a system that displays the state of mind at any given moment. Gamlin, come sit here.
Why?
Calm down. This will be a breakthrough in the treatment process.
What do you mean?
I’ve been thinking about it since I was little. Just who was Lynn Minmay, the person who established peace with the Zentradi? I came to a single hypothesis. The existence of a unique energy. I’ve spent many years developing devices to measure and study that energy. And this will establish the results of that research.
Chiba, what are you doing…
Shut up and put on these headphones.
Woah, Chiba. Stop it!!
Fire Bomber - Seventh Heaven
He blasts Fire Bomber into his ears.
Uwaaaaaaaaa!!
Lieutenant Gamlin, are you okay?
…What’s going on?
…How strange. I’m only getting rejection readings. This isn’t working. Hmm. The system must be incomplete…
I don’t care. Just stop it!!


[Ra Cailum, Observation Room]
…
(Hmm, this thought wave… I’ve heard about you from Commander Waal of the Imperial Guard. What’s the matter?)
Commander Gandal, Mars has been imprisoned. Now is the time to launch an all-out attack!
(I see. Everything is ready. I’ll have Blacky begin the attack. Kill Mars the moment you get the chance. And if possible…)


[Battle 7, Bridge]
Damn, the Jupiter scout team hasn’t returned yet?
Hayato, being impatient will get you nowhere. Just focus on how we’ll deal with the Gishin Empire.
I know, Captain Max. Sorry, Commander. But since that moment back then, I’ve lived my life solely to annihilate them. We’re so close…
I know how you feel. I never imagined that Saotome’s co-researchers were Invaders the whole time.
Yes… I never thought they’d evolve enough to the point where they could impersonate humans. Thanks to you, we…
No worries. I’m not planning on letting the Invaders get away either.
Captain, Neo Zeon and OZ are currently deploying their defenses. We just got the signal that combat against the Gishin Empire has started.
It’s started.
Hmm. It’s just as Takeru Myojin told us. Their flagship is different from their previous attacks. I think that ship is called the Motherburn.
Can you capture it?
The enemy fleet is deploying in the Earth Sphere. Only one disc-shaped battleship that could be the Motherburn has been confirmed.
That’s probably correct. Colonel, we will now commence our own operation.
Roger. Sally, please call Captain Bright on the Ra Cailum.
Yes, Colonel.

Bright, based on Takeru’s information, we’ve spotted the force that appears to be the enemy’s main fleet. As planned, we will launch a short ranged Fold attack. Are you ready?
Roger that. But… I can’t help but hate that feeling when we Fold.
I feel the same way. Is everything okay with that incident on your end?
I don’t know. I have to leave it to them.


Commander Gandal, all units have begun their attack.
Good. I look forward to hearing your results.
Sir!!


Fold out complete. The enemy is right in front of us!
So that’s them.
Captain Blacky, it’s an Earthling fleet!
Huh?
Dammit. I didn’t think they would do that. I must hurry.
Hey, Captain Amuro.
Thank you for keeping Watch. We’ve decided to let Takeru out. Can you open the door so we can talk?
…Sure.
(This is Odelo. The enemy has been caught in the net. The rest is up to you.)
Amuro…?
…DIE, MARS!
(Amuro turned red here.)
That’s enough!
Mind dropping the gun?
What?! Why are you guys here?
We knew there was an infiltrator. You shouldn’t have come here.
Gishin, reveal your true form!
Who are you! Shaaaaaa!!
[A Flash of light]
Haaa!
Hehehe. I guess the jig is up. I am Gul, a psychic from Planet Gishin. Mars, by order of the Emperor, I will kill you!
I won’t let you!
Fool! Duke Fleed, killing you is one of my missions! Ha!!
Uwaaaa!?
Dammit!
Why you!!
[Another flash]
Ugh… Dammit, this isn’t working! Guruguru, come!
!? Everyone, get out of here! Hurry!


Captain, there was an explosion in the brig. The exterior wall was damaged and the bulkhead was activated.
What!?
Captain, the mission has failed. The enemy escaped from the ship. But Takeru Myojin is safe.
I see. Alright, everyone. Hurry up and prepare for launch.
Roger that.


Wait, damn you! GAIAAAAAAAAAA!!


That’s Gaia!? Gul must have failed!
Captain Blacky, attack. That’s our target. Duke Fleed and the Helios Prince are also there.
Seriously?
What’s wrong, Blacky?
(Speaking via Gishin Teams)
Uh sir, we’ve encountered Mars, Duke, and Kento in the Earthling army right here. Why are they here…
You fool! Why are you panicking? Just use the power of the Gishin Empire’s Vega Fleet and destroy them!
Ma’am! Alright, send out all units! Commence the all-out attack!


There it is, a saucer beast! Damn Gishin Empire. I will protect my second home!
Grendizer has launched!
Daisuke went out there!?
Alright. Everyone else, hurry up and go!




You got 13 units to deal with the Vegans along with Gaia and Grendizer. It wasn’t pointed out, but Basara is back for seemingly the rest of the game. We’re encircled at the moment, but they’re all weaklings. Turtle up in the center and black them to kingdom come. No enemy reinforcements and the bosses don’t retreat at low HP to worry about.

If you trigger Godmars’ Six-God Combination, you get a line of dialog that I forgot to take a screenshot of.

So those are the five robots protecting Mars!? Damn.

Also featuring some boss dialogs.


Mars! The Emperor orders you! Die!
Dammit, I won’t let you beat me!


Die Duke Fleed!
Damn Gishin!

When you defeat Gul…


Ugh… Apologies, Commander Waal!!


Tell Zuul that I’m protecting the Earth!
Damn you Mars. I, Blacky, will be victorious!


Duke Fleed! Grendizer will accompany you to hell!
I won’t let Earth turn into another Planet Fleed! Let’s go!


Image taken from an alternate timeline.
So this is Helios’ secret weapon, Daltanious. I’ll eliminate you right away!
Damn, take a look for yourself. I’m not going to let myself get beaten so easily!

Once you destroy the Vegan…


Damn you Earthlings! I have no choice but to retreat for now!


The Gishin Empire forces have retreated.
It seems they’ve begun to retreat on the other fronts as well.
Looks like they’ve managed to survive. Please get a damage report on the Neo Zeon fleet.
Yes sir. I’ll get that to you right away.
Oh dear. At least we can rest easy for the moment. Now we just need to wait for the information about Jupiter.
Right. Colonel, we’ll be returning to Side 3 now. Alright?
Yes. Thank you.


[Planet Gishin, Palace]
Your Majesty, it appears someone told the enemy about our plans.
What?
We’ve analyzed the abnormal brain waves that have been detected occasionally. They’ve been warning Mars of danger.
I can’t believe someone on this planet would defy me.
I can’t believe it either, but we’re doing everything we can to find the source.
Understood. I’ll leave it to you.

Ah…
Hmm… You.
Birdy, birdy? Where are you, birdy?
Nah. His brain waves are too weak to reach Earth.

(Mars… I don’t know what will happen to me. Mars… I want to meet you. My little brother…)


[Battle 7, War Room]
Is it true that the Jupiter scouting team has returned?
Oh, Ryoma. Even though you’re right in front of me, you haven’t aged a day.
Huh? I’m still aging normally. You still got me beat there.
Heh. You’re the same as always.
So what’s going on over there?
Right… It looks pretty serious. Show the footage.
Yes, Captain.
[Screen turns on]
What the hell?
That’s…
A hell of a lot of Invaders.
This is the footage of Jupiter’s orbit brought back by the scouting team. There’s an uncountable amount of Invaders in the Kuiper Belt too.
Kyber Belt?
Yes he says it wrong
People call it the Comet’s Nest.
But that looks like…
Yes… The Jupiter fleet and the moons are under attack by the Invaders.
Oh no…
Dear god…
That footage just now… Sorry, can you play it again? Yes, stop it now. Zoom in on the top right. …I knew it.
Stinger and Cowen! They’re still alive!
But… I can’t believe they went through the trouble of bringing a broken Getter Dragon with them. What are they planning?
…They can’t be planning to…
That’s exactly what they’re planning, Hayato.
Doctor, are you alright?
This isn’t the time to be sleeping.
Dr. Shikishima, I heard you’re the most knowledgeable about Getter Rays. Care to explain?
Hahaha. They’re trying to turn Jupiter into a Getter Ray Sun.
A Getter Ray… Sun?
What!?
What does that mean?
It’s theorized that Jupiter is a planet that almost became a star. That’s what they’re going to do. But it will emit pure Getter Rays instead.
If they could do that, then why didn’t they just go after Jupiter from the beginning?
…They needed bait. Not long ago, Shin Dragon emitted a beam of light into space. It was a signal fire to call their allies. Shin Dragon fulfilled its role.
You’ve got to be kidding.
Then at the very end they…
Hahahaha. They sure are creative. I couldn’t have fathomed that they would do this!
Old man, this isn’t a laughing matter!
Looks like we have no choice but to go to Jupiter.
Yes… We need to stop them at all costs. If we let them succeed, then humanity will…
[ALARM]
What’s wrong?
Big trouble! We’ve just confirmed that Ganymede is on the move! It’s heading to Earth at an incredible speed!
(Ganymede is Jupiter’s largest moon)
According to our calculations, it will hit the planet in 14 hours!
What the hell!?
Dammit. They don’t even care about the laws of physics.
With that mass, even a close pass would destroy the Earth.
Oh come on… Didn’t they want the Earth?
…I noticed something. If Jupiter becomes a Getter Sun, then the entire solar system will become their home.
Captain, a horde of Invaders is approaching the Earth Sphere. We need to deal with them.
Of course they are.
…We have no choice. While fighting off the Invaders, we will destroy Ganymede.
Prepare all forces for interception. Contract Treize immediately.
Sir!
But Ganymede is…
…We’ll try the Macross Cannon. We should at least be able to change its trajectory.


[Space Fortress Bulge, Command Center]
Lord Terize, the Invaders have broken through our defensive line. They’re approaching the Bulge. Please evacuate.
…Ganymede will be here in 2 hours. Where can we retreat to? THE BOYS will be here soon. I’m staying, Lady.
The 3rd and 5th garrisons have been destroyed! The 6th garrison is requesting reinforcements!
Hasn’t Dad and THE BOYS done it yet?
At this rate, the Bulge won’t last!
(Both are talking via monitor)
Not yet. But you’re doing great on unfamiliar machines. Just keep at it.
How are the Degraded Getter Ray missiles that OZ developed to fight the Invaders?
It’s impressive, but there are too many Invaders!


[Battle 7, Bridge]
Ganymede confirmed.
Alright… Macross Cannon, fire!
[It fires]
…Any changes…?
G-Ganymede deflected the Macross Cannon!!
What? That shouldn’t be possible.
Captain, we’ve spotted a barrier-like light on the surface of Ganymede.
Dammit, is that Stinger and Cowen!? We’re finished…
[A Flash of light]
Captain, a powerful beam bombardment was just launched at Ganymede! Ah, never mind. It got deflected!
Where did it come from?
That’s… It appears to be a mobile fortress Zanscare created in satellite orbit.
I see… I guess they were panicking as well.
But it didn’t work for them either. This has become a problem.


[Around the Space Fortress Bulge]
The Macross Cannon…
Looks like the other attack was a waste. Dammit, is there nothing we can do?
Damn them… If that’s the case, I’ll use Shin Getter and hit it with a Stoner Sunshine from within. That will destroy it.
Oh no! Amuro, Kei and Gai are…!
What’s wrong with Kei?

Shiiiiiiiiiiit!!
Dammit. I’m glad THE BOYS are here, but I’m out of bullets! Woah?!
Gai!? Kyaaaaa!!


[Volcanic Island, Inside Shin Dragon]
…KEI! UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Shin Dragon just activated!
What?
Here’s the video.
That’s…


[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
Captain, a giant object is taking off from the surface!
What is it now!?


[Around the Space Fortress Bulge]
Hayato, that’s…
Getter…?
Amazing. It wiped out all the Invaders instantly.
[Some Flashes of light]
Huh…!?
It destroyed Ganymede in one strike!?
That guy…
Amazing…
That’s… the true form of Shin Dragon.
What?! Then that’s…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
…Kei.
Gou, Gou! You’re still alive!?
I said I would protect you.
Gou, you’re still alive?! Dammit, you’ve done it!
I swear, you just made the grandest entrance.
But that only took out one problem.
Gou… you’re alive…


[Space Fortress Bulge, Command Center]
So that’s Shin Dragon. Incredible.
Thanks to it, Ganymede is dealt with. But Stinger and Cowen escaped Shin Dragon’s attack and returned to Jupiter. We must stop Jupiter from becoming a Getter Sun.
Let’s have Battle 7 fold to Jupiter.
No… It’ll take time to charge up Fold energy after firing the Macross Cannon.
You’re kidding!?
…We’ll go. The six of us will combine our powers with Shin Dragon and Shin Getter and jump to Jupiter.
Gou? But how did you…
I’ll converge the Getter energy and create a wormhole.
Amazing! I see, if it’s Shin Dragon you might be able to do it!
Interesting. I’m in.
It’s our only option.
As soon as we’ve finished charging Battle 7’s energy, we’ll join you there.
No… That would be problematic.
Char? What’s up?
The gigantic beam attack that Zanscare made on Ganymede with their satellite weapon can not only hit the Earth’s surface, but the entire Earth Sphere. It’s clear that they’ve nearly completed it. Apparently they call it the Keilas Guilie. We assume that due to the scale of its output, continuous use is impossible. We need to destroy it now.
Exactly. This time it was used against Ganymede. Next time, it will be used against us. Everyone in the colonies and on Earth will be taken hostage. We’d have no choice but to surrender to Zanscare. It’s important to prevent Jupiter from turning into a Getter Sun, but we can’t ignore this threat either.
Damn Zanscare…
At the very least, we know what it is and that it’s operational. The attack on Ganymede was commendable, but we can’t be happy about what comes next.


[Space Fortress Bulge, Officer’s Dining Room]
Should we split our forces in two?
If both things are that important, then we have to.
So who’s going where?
The following are heading to Jupiter: The two Getter Teams and Battle 7.
Major Schwartz and I will also head to Jupiter with Battle 7.
The attack on Keilas Guilie will be carried out by Neo Zeon, OZ, the former Unified Forces, and Oliver’s group.
So Takeru is going there too.
Ah… Something is giving me a bad feeling.
That’s why we’re sticking with Takeru.


[Space Fortress Bulge, Showers]
Whew. Things are getting pretty crazy. Turning Jupiter into a Getter Sun? It’s unimaginable. Joshua, what are you going to do? Are you going to join us in attacking Keilas Guilie?
I…


Head to Jupiter
>Join in the Keilas Guilie offensive

SECRET ALERT
To get a new mobile suit for UC pilots, head to Jupiter. To get an upgrade for an existing mobile suit (if Amuro has 50 kills), head to Keilas Guilie.

I’ll stay behind and take part in the operation. Gou can deal with Jupiter. I believe they’ll succeed.
Hmph. Thought so.
We’re going to be busy. I need to get some food. Gyunei, care to join me?
Sure, I’ll join you. Every now and then.

In an alternate timeline with Rim…


>Head to Jupiter
Join in the Keilas Guilie offensive

I’m… thinking of going to Jupiter with Battle 7.
Ehh? Why?
I guess… It’s because I’m curious. You see, I’ve seen my brother fight the Invaders all the time in the Antarctic…
(I guess we can’t leave them alone after all.)
I see. You’re going to Jupiter. They say it’s a beautiful looking planet. Be careful.
Thank you. Good luck, Quess.

So just to make it clear, Rim is going to Jupiter and Josh is going to Keilas Guilie. It’s another “one route has more stages than the other” situation.
