For this puzzle, you need to get a unit next to Cronicle’s battleship before either enemies enter the city and all within two turns. Move Marbet to the lower left space in the yellow area. Have Uso use Snipe, move him to the space to the south east of Marbet, and hit the right enemy with a beam cannon. Next, transform Getter into Getter-2, and have Hayato use accel. Move to the pace two above and one to the left of the right enemy and ping it with the only attack that will hit. To end off the turn, transform Shogo into bike form, use accel, and move as far south as possible, hitting and killing the right enemy with his laser gun. End turn and only defend. Finally, use Accel again on Shogo and move him next to Cronicle’s ship.


Victory nets 35k money and an EN Giga Chip (-30% EN usage on weapons).

For this intermission

There’s more to do in the deployment screen, but I’ll go over that later.

Last time, Kloppen revealed who he claims he is and this five way war between us, BESPA, Gishin, Ruina, and the Protodeviln is heating up.


Combined Route Chapter 27: Father of the Battlefield, Children of the Battlefield
Chapter 26 if you went Space/Jupiter. Chapter 28 if you went Earth/Keilas


[Geppelnitch’s Ship]
Uuuuu…
Is Glavil still out? To think they’ve ruined his beauty to this extent. Anima Spirita… it's painfully beautiful.
Gavil, your new servants are ready.
So we’ve completed the treatment on the samples captured on Planet GGT.
An unexpected and disruptful light shines into my dreams. Gavil, you can’t stop time.
Yes. I’ve developed a special system. With this, we’ll no longer be at the Anima Spirita’s mercy. Leave it to me. This is the beauty of invention!


[Ra Cailum, Observation Room]
We’ve returned to space again, Kamille.
Yeah…
…Are you thinking about that Cyber Newtype?
She was… different from Four and Rosamy. This time it’s the commander of BESPA’s Lagrane’s base, Lieutenant Colonel Fuala Griffon… She’s just as dangerous. Be careful, Uso. It felt like her attention was directed only at you, rather than all of us.
Yes. I’ve met and fought her before. That might be the reason why. Um… Kamille, you sometimes mention that Four person. Who are they?
…Why do you ask?
It’s just that… Well maybe I’m just overthinking.
…
[Fa leaves]
Fa? …What did I…
No… You’re fine. But…
She was your first love. Right, Kamille?
Amuro… Yes, you’re right.
(I didn’t want to say that out loud…)
I heard we’re changing our plan to stop at Bulge and are instead heading to Side 3 via the Moon. Is that right?
Yes. It’s still unconfirmed, but there’s rumors that Zanscare’s AH Plan is about to begin.
You heard it from my dad!?
Not directly. But Zanscare’s movements right now are strange. Char intends to assemble a fleet to cooperate with OZ. Plus, Lord Gascon should be arriving soon. There are some other things I want to confirm when we meet up with them, including what the Gishin Empire is doing.
Are you sure you want to just leave those guys on the surface alone?
It’s not like I’m just ignoring them. OZ’s ground forces are continuing to search for other Ruina facilities. We’re also monitoring Antarctica with satellites and are transmitting all data to Megazone on the moon.
Bahamut… So Eve is doing an analysis on all the data?
That’s right. Can we count on her?


To this is space… And that’s the Earth?
…Right, this is your first time.
Yeah…
…Maybe it would have been better if we stayed on the ground.
So what now? If you want me to fight Ruina, sure. But I can’t face them alone.
We have OZ. With them…
No other Earthling could have defeated us except for your group.
Yeah, but…
But you’re right. We can’t just leave them alone like this. For now, it’ll be some time until Contagio creates a new army. I know I asked before, but why are we in space?
The Earth Sphere is walking a tightrope. It’s difficult to prioritize each problem that needs to be solved. Right now, we have no choice but to focus on each issue as they pop up.
…How annoying. Wouldn’t it be easier to just die out?
Humans are afraid of dying. No one wants to die. You’ll understand… someday.
Joshua… My life is nothing but a lie.
…


Dammit…
We haven’t had any problems since then. I think it’s best if you just take a break.
Yeah… I feel the same way, but Tetsuya, you’ve been acting strange lately.
I know that. Yes, I know that. But they’re the enemy. Where else should this hatred go? Where should I direct this anger?
Tetsuya… You worry too much.
And if what she said is true, then your feelings will become Ruina’s power.
…We have something we must do. If we keep going, we’ll fight them again someday. I’m not telling you to forget. But before our next encounter, you need to learn how to control your emotions.
Hold it, Heero. Then he’ll be just like you. And if that happens, it’ll be a big problem for everyone else.
My anger and hatred will become their strength…


[Neo Zeon, Spaceport]
So Colonel, what’s the current status of the AH Plan?
Right, the data hasn’t arrived yet, but it seems we’ve uncovered its true nature.
Oh, I’d love to hear what it is.
I’ll relay the details once I receive the data. Its official name is Angel Halo. It seems to be a giant fortress satellite about 20 km in diameter…
There’s no way it’s just a fortress.
Correct. It’s a device for some kind of mind or brainwave control. We assume it to be similar to Psycommu.
The hell!?
A 20 km Psycommu weapon…?
We don’t know what kind of power it actually has. I wonder what Kagatie is trying to do. But it seems certain that it’s just outside of Side 7 and is nearing completion.
Something that huge…
Oh, it must be the Jupiter fleet. They must have assembled it block by block and brought it to the Earth Sphere.
We’ll receive the data from Jinn Geneham shortly. We must hurry and organize the Neo Zeon fleet to head towards Side 7.


Captain Ray.
Captain Kinryu, what’s up?
Astonaige has something to discuss with you regarding some new mobile suits. Can you go to the Ra Cailum’s maintenance deck?
A new model? They put those together already?
That damn Astonaige. He’s got guts to make me the messenger.
Astonaige is a mechanic who’s been through a lot of battles. He’s someone you can use, Captain.
On the Battle 7’s scale, that’s unthinkable.
Amuro, what’s this about a new model?
Hmm… It’s a new Nu Gundam.

Oh, so this is the Hi-Nu Gundam.
Oh, Captain. Sorry, but can you start testing it right now? It’s urgent.
Thank you for your hard work. Are the specs as advertised?
It should be.
Uso, what are you up to?
I heard that some reinforced equipment for the V2 has arrived, so I want to check it out.
It’s amazing. There’s the Assault pack that adds armor and armaments, and the Buster pack for medium to long ranged attacks.
Oh, and it’s unique that it increases the V2’s generator output.
Seriously, Uso can pilot something like this so quickly.
That ain’t normal.
Isn’t that amazing.
Oh, perfect. Judau, I want you to test this out too.
Me?
Yes. I used parts I brought from the Moon to give the Double Zeta a Full Armor pack. You’ve used this before, right? I want you to check the balance.
Hehe. So the Double Zeta’s been strengthened too. Roger roger. Let’s get started right now.

SECRET ALERT
The part about the Full Armor Double Zeta is the result from Judau and Roux’s kill count secret! I’ll go over the unit itself soon.

The following scene is Real Route exclusive, provided you saved Glacies. I don’t have the Rim/Ventus version available, but assume it’s in the same vein.


[Ra Cailum, Hangar]
(Rim…)
Oh, there you are.
…What’s up, Cliff?
There doesn’t seem to be any issues. The work is just about done. Check it out.
Fabularis…
Alright… I never thought that the system would work with anyone other than Rim. To be honest, I thought it would be impossible.
Hey Cliff.
Well, you won’t know until you try. But are you sure?
Of what?
The higher ups decided to repair the mech, but she doesn’t look like she wants to pilot it.
I… I’ve lost the meaning of my existence. You can do whatever you like.
Glacies.
Is that better? Well, this is fine. Besides…there’s nothing else I can do. If you want me to pilot this again and fight, then I will. Until this fleeting life disappears.
…


[City 7, Forest Block]
…
Dammit… Sivil, why won’t you wake up? Is my song not reaching her? Dammit, wake up, Sivil!!

Kuh… Sivil. Even when I gave her Spirita, she didn’t wake up…
Commander Gigil, I’m not feeling so good. There’s an extreme lack of Spiritia. It’s dangerous.
Shut it! With Sivil in such a state, how can I just sit back and enjoy Spiritia? My life is nothing compared to hers! Stay out of the way!
[Gigil punches the vampire]
That bastard… He’s the only one who can wake up Sivil. Yes, sing! Sing more and more and more!
[Sirens]
Dammit, again? Who’s attacking this time? …That’s all for today, Sivil. See you next time.
[Basara runs off]
What!?
Commander Gigil, it’s our own attack force.
Dammit. That bastard Geppelnitch is getting in my way again…




The Varauta Army… Protodeviln!?
Commander Max, what about the Sound Force?
Just launched.


The Sound Force…
Okay, time to launch our forces too! The Sound Force is the key to fight against the Protodeviln. Don’t let the Sound Force die!

Got some quick pre-battle changes to make before deployment.



Deploy 12 units to protect the Sound Force!

There you are, Anima Spirita. Your soundwaves will no longer work on me, Gavil.
It’s him again… Did you come to listen to my song!? I’ll be sure to impress you!
Mylene, Basara, let’s get started.
Everything is OK here!
Hehe. Let’s go!


A song… A song is…
Fufufufufu…
Eh… What…?
Kii!
It’s not the same as last time. Maybe it’s not working…?
This hearing defense system will nullify your sound waves! This is exactly the mechanism I was looking for! Functional beauty!
Oh no, is that a sound protector!?
Sound…
Protector?
What’s that!?
…Earplugs.
Yup.
It is.
Damn you… Listen to my song dammit!!
Basara…?

Let’s go over the new units first.


[RX-93-v2 Hi-Nu Gundam]
In my humble opinion, this is the best mobile suit in the game, and stats-wise it’s more of a side-grade to the HWS. Invest into this and it will probably never get hit by anyone without a name. Its Fin Funnels are stronger than the Nu/HWS too. Ideally, you’ll have the Hi-Nu with some range boosting parts and have it safely snipe grunts from across the map.


[FA-010S Full Armor ZZ Gundam]
Not to be confused with the FAZZ, This is the ultimate form for the ZZ. It has greater stats than the normal ZZ, including slightly higher mobility if you can believe it. Plus all of its attacks got a power boost and the Full Armor can be purged for a second health bar and EN refresh. Wearing this armor turns the ZZ into an average mobile suit into an endgame worthy beast.


[LM314V24 Victory 2 Assault Gundam]
Yes, I’m counting them separately. This version of the V2 has stronger armor and an I-Field and is overall a decent upgrade. It’s much more suited for mid ranged combat as most of its attacks are post move. Now if only there was a way to combine this with the Buster pack…


[LM314V23 Victory 2 Buster Gundam]
Yes, I’m counting them separately. This version of the V2 has much higher firepower than the Assault version, sporting a 9 range cannon, but less post-movement options. Now if only there was a way to combine this with the Assault pack…


[Fabularis]
Latin for “Mythology”. It’s best as a support attacker since its best attack has a range of 2-8. Plus it has a Bushin and Beam Coat for extra survivability. I’m hesitant to say it’s on par with the upgraded main character mechs, but it’s for sure stronger than their base forms.


Fun fact about the Hi-Nu Gundam. Depending if Amuro/Char, Kamille, or Judau pilots it and uses the Fin Funnel attack, a different ghost sprite will appear. Anyone else will lack a ghost.


Who would have thunk it, this is another 2 part chapter. Well, more like 1.5 parts. For the first part, defeat all of the enemies. No enemy reinforcements this time, but it’s Varauta. That means they’re all really hard to hit for most of our units without Focus and/or Aim. This might be one of the few times I would recommend using PLANET DANCE instead of Totsugeki Love Heart as Basara’s first/second turn buffing song for the increased and stacking hit/evasion rates as opposed to increased will.

Anyway, after two turns of using Basara’s MAP singing to buff the group, a cutscene happens at the start of turn 3…


Dammit, stop! Stop attacking and listen to my song!
Hahaha, scatter! You samples should scatter and discover beauty!
Why won’t you listen to my song!!
Eh? Wait, Basara!?


Basara!? What are you doing!!
Basara, what’s wrong!?
UWAAAAAAAAAA!!


Kuh, why you…
What!? Nekki Basara, why are you shooting!! Weren’t you supposed to sing!?
Anima Spiritia… Have you been seduced by the madness of beauty!?


Guh…
Sing, Basara! BASARAAA!
Basara… You have to sing. Sing!
Gamlin… Joshua… Heh… Hehe. You’re right.
Okay. Myelene, Basara, Formation Medley.
Got it!
[Basara, Ray, and Mylene gain 10 will]


Damn… S-stop it! Does the Anima Spiritia have no limit!?
Wow, Mylene you’re in the groove.
Basara…
He heard the song!?
…He didn’t hear anything. His Protodeviln heart felt it…
Amazing. Absolutely amazing…
…I don’t know what’s going on, but support Basara’s unit!

Basara is deep in enemy lines now and he could probably solo Gavil with some focuses and lucky hits, but it’s best to have him fall back to the main group. Thankfully, only Gavil really has a chance of hitting him and the Sound Booster will save him from dying once. If he dies for real, it’s game over.

Also, I should mention that Gavil retreats at 20% HP (6400). And being a Protodeviln, only Basara and Mylene’s songs will deal any real damage to him. Everyone else can contribute with chip damage, but you’re only going to defeat him for real with the power of singing (while supported by Mazinger’s giant fist).


Uwaaaaa!? How beautiful! Retreat!

Well with him either retreating or defeated, the rest of his army stays, so keep it up.

Once they’re all defeated…


What’s the situation?
The Varauta forces have retreated.
I see…
I guess it’s all thanks to the Sound Force.
Phew… Gamlin, Joshua.
What?
No… It’s nothing.
Hmm…


[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
All units, we will return to the colony as soon as everyone returns.
[Incoming call sound]
Oh this is… Captain, it’s a distress signal.
A distress signal?
It’s registered to… Dr. Earl, it’s from the Helios Empire.
What?
Helios is sending a distress signal?
We’re also checking it out. It’s a Mini-UFO type aircraft from the Gishin Empire.
What’s going on?
Lord Kento.
What is it?
(via monitor)
A Gishin craft is approaching while sending out a Helios distress signal. Please check it out.
From Helios? Alright, I’m going.
Captain, may we?
Sure, why not. Send out Kento and Danji.




Is that them?


Dammit, I can’t believe we’re making contact with them. But if we fail this mission, it will affect my homeland. Go, eliminate the fugitives!
The Gishin Army!
Is this a trap?
People of Earth, can you hear me? We are not your enemy. We have escaped from the prison planet Marios. The cruiser we stole was sunk by the pursuing Zaal fleet and we’ve fled this far. We have a VIP on board. Please, we need your help.
(This Imperial Soldier is a neutral yellow)
Planet Marios?
It’s an Earth-like planet in Helios’ territory. Can you take it in?
It could be a trap but… I guess it’s alright.
All pilots, I know you just got back but please protect that small Gishin craft.


Choose 12 units, but I’m gonna be honest, they don’t matter. Just pick units who are either really fast and/or have the Trust or Confuse spirits.

So that’s how it is. I’m Kento Tate of THE BOYS. Leave this to us. Run away quickly.
Wait… What did you say?
Huh? I feel like I’ve seen your face somewhere before. Oh well. Just go-
What is your name? Say it again/
Me? Kento Tate.
It can’t be…


The Mini-UFO and Daltanious are up against Kabuto’s forces and there’s almost no way for your normal guys to get there in time. If an enemy hits the Mini-UFO, they’ll inflict it with a movement down debuff that will basically kill them come the next turn. Move Daltanious to the square to the north west of the Mini-UFO and, based on the game’s AI, the enemies will focus all their fire onto it. Use Beralios’ Guard if you want to live.

The Mini-UFO will move as far as it can, but if there’s an enemy in range when it’s done moving, it will attack and probably die on the counter attack.

The objective is to get the Mini-UFO next to the battleship or defeat all enemies. The Mini-UFO will zero in on the battleship, so unless you make sure they never connect, that objective will happen first.

After three turns pass or the Mini-UFO gets to your battleship…


Kento, can you hear me? There’s something I want to ask you. Is it possible your father is a missing sailor named Hayato Tate?
Wha… How do you know that!?
I knew it. Kento… Do you recognize me? I’m your father, Hayato Tate.
The hell!?
Hey Kento, that’s…
That’s my dad… My dad?
Now that you mention it, he does look like that bastard Kloppen. Dr. Earl, are you hearing this?
What? I can’t believe it, Prince Harlin! It can’t be… Captain, please hurry up and retrieve him.


Oh, it seems like things are getting interesting around here.
Lord Gascon?


Hey, Octopus man! How have you been?
Hahahaha. You’re still as nasty as ever. Anyway, we’ll meet and greet later. Time to go on a rampage.


[Gascon’s Robo]
It’s alright. You don’t get to keep it for long, but it has okay defenses, decent range with a close up finisher, and it looks cool. There’s worse out there, but there’s also much better options.

If the Mini-UFO gets to your battleship before Gascon shows up, then the stage ends instantly with immediate arrival.

Captain, the Mini-UFO is here.
Okay, take it in.


Grrrrr. The operation failed. With this amount of troops, we can’t take them on. Retreat, retreat!
[All enemies retreat]
You’re… No way, Earl? Doctor Earl? It is you. I vaguely remember you when I was a child.
Ohhhhhhhh. It really is you! Prince Harlin! I’m so glad you’re safe!
What’s going on?
Who knows?


[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
Oh, Lord Kento, you’re returned. There’s no mistake. This man is your father.
What’s wrong, Kento?
This is a father-son reunion. Why aren’t you happier?
Come on, kid. Smile.
What… What kind of father are you? You abandoned me for twelve years. I don’t even remember your face. Now you suddenly show up and I’m supposed to be all smiles?
Lord Kento!
…An understandable response. Kento is right.
But I don’t understand. I heard that you were lost after a shipwreck. Why were you doing hard labor on a planet in the Gishin Empire?
It’s a long story…
[Fade to black]
What? The captain of the Royal Guard?
So this man led a rogue fleet and found you on Earth after searching for decades?
At the time, I was on a wrecked ship, about to die. According to them, that’s when the Helios emblem appeared in the sky. The reason why I became a sailor in the first place was to look for my true home. I thought that the scenes in my memory were somewhere on Earth.
But it wasn’t.
Yes. After seeing videos of Helios, I realized that was my real home. The guard captain was trying to gather an anti-Gishin army with me as its center. I left for another planet with them, only on the condition that I return to Earth at some point. However…
You were attacked by the Gishin.
Got it in one. As a rebel, I was sent to the remote planet Marios, a penal colony for mining resources. The guard captain and my comrades died one by one from the harsh labor and brutal treatment. I hid my true identity in order to survive. After gaining some new allies, we succeeded in hijacking a ship and escaping only a few days ago.
Ye gods… I can’t believe you survived such hardship… Even if you’re a clone, now that father and son have reunited, the revival of Helios might not be a dream…
Hmm… So what now? Did you escape the prison planet because you wanted to live? Or…
Of course, it’s to fight. I will fight to bring peace back to the galaxy. I have no regrets losing my life for that cause.
Well said! That’s what a man of the galaxy should be like.
To revive Helios? But…
It doesn’t matter who’s a clone. You don’t need a reason to fight for peace. The one who restores Helios should be the true successor.
What brave words! You’ve gotten my old bones motivated!
Your Excellency, even though this conflict doesn’t impact you, I would really appreciate your help. If we only defend against their attacks, we’ll be defeated one day. Peace on Earth cannot exist unless we cut off the root of the problem. Among the planets under Gishin oppression, there are people who will respond to our call, regardless if we’re legitimate or not.
I was going to offer the same thing, Prince Harlin.
Hmm… Things are getting interesting.


[Gishin Empire, Mobile Fortress]
What? Harlin is alive!?
Y-Your Majesty. My subordinates were pursuing some fleeing rebels from Marios and he seemed to be among them.
I was careless. I never thought Harlin was in my grasp. Kloppen. No matter what, eliminate Harlin! He has higher priority over Mars!
Emperor Zuul, he’s nothing more than my clone. A mere traitor. Even if he’s alive, he poses no threat to the Gishin Empire…
Silence, Kloppen! No questions. Go and kill Harlin immediately. Got it?

Even though he’s only my clone, the Emperor is being cautious. It would be best if he disappeared anyway. Hey, guard, call Generals Nessia and Bioder.
Yes sir, Commander Kloppen!


[Neo Zeon, Spaceport]
An OZ battleship just arrived?
Yes, Major. It appears that Lord Treize and Lady Une are aboard.
The battle with Zanscare is finally approaching…
Yes. They’re also probably here for a meeting with Lord Gascon and Prince Harlin.
Ah, there you are. Uso, Captain Amuro wants you to go to the OZ battleship that just arrived. Shakti and Odelo too.
Me? Why me…
Yeah… I wonder what’s going on.
It’ll be fine. I’ll join you. Let’s go, Uso.


[OZ Space Battleship]
Huh? Hey kids, you can’t go in there. Are you from Neo Zeon? You shouldn’t be playing in a place like this.
Um, I’m Uso Ewin. I was told to come here…
Ah… You guys. I can’t believe you’re so young. I’ve gotten word to expect you. Go on in.
Thank you.
Goo~
Haha, what nice kids.


Um…
You look well. I’ve heard a lot about your accomplishments.
Huh… Dad!? Why are you here!?
It seems you’ve been having a rough time, Uso. Thanks to Colonel Jin adding the League Militaire to the November Treaty Alliance, we were able to team up with OZ and the Lunar Corporations. When I returned to the Moon, I met with Lord Treze and--
I… I buried Mom at Kasarelia… Dad… You and Mom are always like this. Always too slow and now look what happened.
I’m sorry. I tried my best but I guess I wasn’t strong enough. I’ve heard about your Mother too. She really loved Kasarelia. If that’s where she’s buried, then I have no regrets. You’ve grown stronger than we ever could have imagined.
Dad…
I’m not asking you to understand. Before the Incident happened, it was no easy task for people like us to operate in space.
That… I think I get it now.
I’m sorry. I heard that even Inoe was killed in the same battle as your Mother.
Yes… We weren’t strong enough…
Mmm… It must have been difficult.
…I’ve been looking for you forever now.
I got a message from your Mother, but I was too busy investigating Zanscare and the Jupiter Fleet, so I couldn’t get in touch with you. It’s hard for me to believe that you’re a League Militaire mobile suit pilot.
But you were planning to make that happen, didn’t you?
I’m not that skilled. Your contact with Count Oi Nyung, the Tower, and THE BOYS was all you. Since you’ve made it this far, it means you were blessed by the people around you. Oh, sorry, I got carried away. You must be Shakti. You’ve grown so much.
Yes, uncle. It’s been a while.
Are you kids with THE BOYS? I know about all of your exploits.
Ah, no…
Excuse me for interrupting. Jinn Geneham, Lord Khushernada, and Lady Une are waiting on the shuttle.
Thank you for your hard work. Please tell them I’m on my way. I’m sure you’re all going to Battle 7 as well. Come with me.
Eh? But…
Sergeant, is that alright?
I-I’ll check. Please wait a moment.
Uso’s dad is incredible…
He’s just like the Prince…
Cool! Right, Shakti?
I guess…


[Battle 7, War Room]
…That’s fine. We would be grateful if you could do that.
Is that alright with you, Lord Gascon and Prince Harlin?
That’s why I came to Earth in the first place. I have no objections.
I don’t mind either. It’s a stroke of luck that we’re cooperting this much with Earth.
Indeed.
So about Angel Halo…
I’m sure that assembly is in the final stages. We must strike before it’s too late. Tens of thousands of psychics have already been transferred to Angel Halo. They might even be conducting operational tests.
I heard it’s a giant Psycommu.
From the information we’ve obtained, we assume it has a wide-area hypnotic effect. We don’t know its actual power. Perhaps it’s possible for His Excellency Char Aznable or Captain Amuro Ray, who use Psycommu weapons themselves, to make a better guess.
I guess…
However, even if their Psycommu is ready for practical use, is it really possible to gather and project the wills and brainwaves of tens of thousands of people?
…Maria Pure Armonia. I thought she was just a cover for what Kagatie’s actual goal, but I think it’s safe to say that Maria-ism is actually a part of it.
I see… So if you put a group of Mariaists and Maria herself in the center, it’s easy to unify their will.
If that’s the case, it explains why Kagatie was so slow to act on the situation on the surface and the aliens.
It’s surprising that Earthlings can coexist with the Zentradi, but you really can create terrifying things. We have to destroy it. It would be disastrous if Zuul ever got his hands on it.
If a Gishin psychic or even Zuul himself were to use it, entire interstellar nations could become targets… For the sake of peace in the galaxy, that should never happen.
[Communication beeps]
Hmm… Everyone, it seems that a Gishin deserter has come to help Prince Harlin and is requesting to be accepted.
From the Gishin Empire?
They’re moving too fast.
I see… I think it’s safe to say there’s something shady going on.
I’ll meet him.
Admiral Exedor, please direct him to Battle 7.


[Battle 7, Storage Room]
Yes, and we’ve managed to escape. There are still many people on our planet who secretly support Prince Harlin. Please help us.
…Alright. Leave it to me.
Oh, thank you! The coordinates of our planet are…
You’ve got to be kidding me. Even the higher ups here suspect this is a Gishin trap. I agree with them.
Kento, even if the enemy requests my aid, I can’t abandon them.
Any enemy?
Any enemy. In order to restore Helios, we need to get as many planets on our side as possible.
I just want to defeat the Gishin. I have no desire to restore the Empire. That’s not what I’ve been fighting for.
If it’s necessary for peace, I’ll do whatever it takes to restore Helios. That will be Zuul’s downfall.
You haven’t changed at all. I can’t believe you were in tears hugging your dad earlier.
Shut up! That was different.
Kento, I agree with Prince Harlin. I think it would be better if we could avoid fighting Zuul. Your father is an admirable man, willing to accept the enemy despite being aware of traps. Besides, in order for us to negotiate with Zuul on an equal footing, we need to prove that the Gishin Empire’s control is not absolute.
…


[Battle 7, Briefing Room]
I’m going to go over our next actions. In addition to the original operation to deal with Zanscare’s Angel Halo, we will carry out another operation in parallel.
Another one? Where?
It will be the first step to support Prince Harlin and Lord Gascon to liberate the planets of the former Helios Empire. If successful, rebellions will break out again all over the Gishin’s territory.
So you’re trying to use this as a trigger.
Exactly. Captain Max’s Battle 7 will head to Helios.
Joining them will be Daltanious, the Crushers, and Duke Fleed.
Daisuke, when was that decided?
Sorry, Koji. I only just heard about it from Dr. Earl.
To capture Angel Halo, the combined fleets of Neo Zeon and OZ will use the Ra Cailum as their flagship. Both are missions of great importance to the Earth Sphere’s future. It’s up to each of you to decide which one to join. I want you to make a decision by noon tomorrow.

Time for a route split! The Angel Halo group is composed of all Gundam characters (UC, Victory, Wing) and the Helios group is composed of the Daltanious', Godmars', and Grendizer's crews. Macross 7’s Diamond Force and Battle 7 are going to Helios, while the Sound Force are staying for Angel Halo. No matter which route you go, you’ll be joined by the cast of Big O, Megazone 23, both Mazingers, and Shin Getter.

SECRET ALERT
We’ve got some mutually exclusive secrets!
Head to Angel Halo to get some more Gundam pilots as well as the V2’s ultimate upgrade.
Head to Helios to buff up Daltanious and work towards the main Godmars secret.


[Battle 7, Briefing Room]
Angel Halo…
A giant Psycommu? You’ve got to be kidding me. I don’t know what you’re planning to do, but I, Gyunei Guss, will destroy it. We can’t let someone like Kagatie do whatever he wants.
Even if you call it Psycommu, we don’t really know what it is.
Yeah. But we still recognize it as extremely dangerous. Joshua, what will you do?


Head to the former Helios Territory
>Conquer Angel Halo

I’ll attack Angel Halo. If it’s Kagatie’s trump card, then attacking it will put an end to the battle between Earthlings. That’s something that must happen.
I see…
I wonder where I’ll go.

Next time, Josh and the gang take on Angel Halo.

Also a mini post because 50k characters is just not enough.
