[sup]There’s two other underwater enemies, but their sprites flicker on the opposite frames as the Zeta Gundam.[/sup]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what this puzzle is supposed to teach, but here’s how you beat it. Transform Kamille and hit the enemy two spaces to the left with a High-Mega Launcher supported by Shogo’s Laser Orb Gun. Have Shogo use Love, move next to the Re-GZ, and use a Melee combo attack on the two enemies that are underwater. Uso’s next, have him use Valor, move him below the three enemies and wipe them out with a Beam Saber combo attack. Finally, have Amuro use Valor and hit the enemy next to Kamille with a Mega Beam Cannon.


Victory nets 35k money and a Mind Virus part.

Back on listing what I did for this intermission.

We’re back in Josh’s continuity for now, meaning the Angel Halo route was taken. The main difference is whether or not Marg survived, which I will point out.

Last time, Zanscare and the Zaal Fleet were defeated once and for all. That really just leaves the rest of Gishin, Varauta, and Ruina left to deal with.


Combined Route Chapter 30: Emperor of Darkness
Chapter 29 if you went Space/Jupiter. Chapter 31 if you went Earth/Keilas.


[Side 3, Colony]
Oh, there’s forests and lakes in this colony too.
Seriously, the air is so clean. This place is really pleasant.
It’s a tourist spot for people living in the colonies. Something wrong, Uso?
This soil has no taste at all. You can’t grow good crops like this.
The soil has taste? What do you mean?
Hey, so whatever happened to this Kloppen guy?
Yeah… I heard that Prince Harlin was real while Kloppen was a clone.
Yup. After we destroyed a Gishin base and the Zaal fleet, he said he was going to fight Zuul by himself and flew off somewhere. He was more surprised that we didn’t treat him like a clone.
Even though he was a fleet commander, his comrades almost killed him because of that. That’s when he decided to rebel against Zuul.
Zuul…
Hey Mika, did Takeru’s brother really die?
Yes… Apparently the brainwashing was lifted at the last moment, but it was too late…
I see… Marg…
How’s Takeru holding up?
He’ll be fine. He’s not the kind of guy who can’t rebound from that.
By the way, how was it over here?
Tell us. I heard it was an all out war and you were almost beaten-down by the end.
Yea. So they had some terrible weapon that put all humans to sleep and killed them, right?
You’re correct. We got caught up in the test run and had a rough time. But Angel Halo is destroyed now.
Shakti got a crazy idea and went into Angel Halo all by herself. It was hard.
But Suzy, thanks to that, Shakti was able to pray in the key room. She caused Angel Halo to stop descending and fall apart. Everything worked out.
Zanscare is in disarray and both Queen Maria and Kagatie died in the battle. I heard they have almost no military power left.
Without a Queen, they don’t have a unifying force. Soon, Zanscare will be indistinguishable from other autonomous colonies.
So the fighting between Earthlings is finally over.
What a relief.
Kento, didn’t Sanae and Ochame come back with you?
Yeah, I thought they’d be here.
Ah… well ya know.
Anyway, that leaves the Gishin, Protodeviln, and Ruina. We’re still not in a great situation.
But Lord Gascon is trying to unite the rebel forces in Helios, right? I’d like to think things are a little better now.
Hmm. We still have a long way to go.
Since you’ve taken the time off, you should think about that later and have some fun instead.
I agree! Hey Koji, you can rent boats on that lake over there. Let’s go for a nice ride.
Odelo, let’s go too!
Hold on, Maria.
That’s right. Koji is going for a carriage ride with me instead.
Koji, are you serious?
Oh my…
Seriously. They should do that when we’re not around.

If you took the Helios route and saved Marg, Suzy and Mika’s lines are this instead:

Hey Mika, did Takeru’s brother really become our ally?
Yes… Apparently the brainwashing was lifted while we were fighting and Takeru saved him. He’s injured, but he’ll make it. Takeru is overjoyed.


[Side 3, Military Facility]
Basara is…?
Yeah. He’s been acting strange for a while now. Sometimes he’s just not putting his heart into his singing during concerts and he always goes off on his own. But he won’t tell me anything when I ask him. Something’s up.
You’re worrying too much. Everyone has their own private matters. It’s important to be interested about a lot of things, my lady. There are some things that other people shouldn’t interfere with…
You mean private matters?
Yes… For example, relationships with women.
Basara!? Having relations with women!?
It’s just an example, Mylene. Basara isn’t the kind of guy to get distracted by trivial things. There must be a reason behind this.
How would you know that, Gamlin?
Well… It’s an intuition between pilots. Basara can fly extremely well while singing. His concentration is extraordinary. I can’t imagine that someone like him would waste his time on stupid things.
Yeah… I agree. You might be overthinking this.
I wonder if that’s true… Hey Gamlin, I thought you hated Basara.
It’s not like I hated him or anything. But, well, I did think he was a hindrance in battle…


[City 7, Basara’s Residence]

Are you going somewhere again? Basara… If you’re having trouble, I can give you some advice.
It’s not like that. I just… How should I put it? It’s not just because I want to sing, but why I sing… I’m trying to find the answer to that.
I see… Well, have fun.

The following scene only happens if you took the Angel Halo route and saved Cronicle and Katejina.


[Military Hospital, Cronicle’s Hospital Room]
What?
Yes. Uncle, it’s all over now. Please understand that first.
…So you guys just came here to laugh at me. I lost everything, except the humiliation from being saved by the enemy.
There’s no danger to your or Katejina’s life. Since you’re no longer the Queen’s brother, do you really think we have a reason to keep fighting?
Uso Ewin, are you making fun of me!?
Not at all. Why can’t you and Katejina just think like that? We’re still at war with the Gishin Empire, Ruina, and an enemy called the Protodeviln that can destroy entire Zentradi fleets. How can you not realize that!?
Uso.
To be honest, I’m not a fan of this either. My mom was killed by the Motorad fleet, and my father died in the Battle of Angel Halo along with the Motorad. I have no desire to forgive you, the commander of the Motorad fleet. But in a situation like this, I have to distance myself from those feelings for the greater good. Otherwise, there will never be peace…
That’s enough, Uso. Calm down.
Please, Uso.

Char and Treize both agreed to this, Captain Cronicle Asher. You should already know that the Gatie Party suppressed most of the information we sent them about the aliens. The situation on Earth is a lot more serious than you would think.
…You just want me to say okay? Let me think about it for a bit. Also, I want to talk to Katejina. Can you arrange that?
Amuro, can you do it as a favor for me?
Sure, I’ll arrange it. It would be helpful if you could reach a decision sooner rather than later.


[Neo Zeon Military Facility, Information Analysis Room]
What did you say!?
I want to hear your opinion. Eve, please repeat that story.
Yes. Bahamut’s analysis on the “Ruina” confirmed that they’re similar to the group that caused the destruction of “our Earth”.
I see. You mentioned beings from another dimension.
Yes, that’s right. Didn’t you mention that, Shogo?
Ah, right… I completely forgot.
That’s why I was late in realizing it. Bahamut’s records are incomplete, but the way they manifest and the fact that they desire the spiritual energy of living organisms are extremely similar.
An energy life form…from another dimension, huh?
The Fabula Fores… If they came from that… It’s not impossible…
That we’re not from the world might be true. Perfectio’s vibe was too different. His body was human, but that doesn’t mean that he is.
(If that’s the case, then my dad…has nothing to do with them…?)
Wait, Eve. If that’s the case, then our Earth is…
What is it?
I don’t know. Our Earth was destroyed as a result of what humanity did to erase its own existence. But if they are the same thing, then unless we stop them somehow, the Earth will…
There’s no need to jump to conclusions. I want you to continue to confirm and analyze the information.
Yes, we’re still doing that. We’re also narrowing down the places other than Antarctica that could be their base. Either way, we have to consider how to respond.
Right… I need to consult with Colonel Char and Treize.
I’ll keep doing my best. Oh, Shogo.
What is it, Eve?
I’ve mentioned before a proposal to strengthen the Garland by reusing parts from GR2. I’ve forwarded the design data and technical information to the Neo Zeon military’s technical department. THey’ve probably already started the modifications.
I see. Sorry Eve. I know it was originally developed by B.D. and the military.
It’s fine. It’s because they made the Garland that I was able to meet you. Besides, if you don’t survive, there won’t be anyone left who cares about the people in Megazone. We have to do what we can for them.
Making the Garland stronger, huh…
Yeah… B.D. told me to do it. Besides, it’s only going to get tougher from now on.


[General’s Barracks]
Is that so… Then I would like to accompany you after all. I want to know why Emperor Zuul is trying to destroy the Earth and, if possible, I want to stop the war through negotiation.
I knew I could count on the daughter of King Peacecraft. What a noble ideal. I would like to ask for your help.
But Prince Harlin, negotiation with Zuul will…
[Explosions]
W-what!?
Prince Harlin, where are you!?
Mars? I’m right here. Still intact. What happened?
Oh, there you are… Now die, Harlin!
(Takeru is red now)
What!?
[Psychic shockwave]
Guh…
Wh…What are you doing!? Mars, have you gone mad!?
Are we too late?
Dammit. Doctor Earl, that one’s a fake! It’s an assassin from Planet Gishin!
(This one is blue)
What the hell!?
Hahahaha. With those wounds, Harlin can’t survive. Time to withdraw!
(This one is red)
Wait! Why are you doing this!?
Get down, Relena.
[Heero fires two gunshots at the escaping fake Takeru]


Damn Zuul…
He got away…
Dad!? What the hell happened!?
Lord Kento… Your father was seriously injured…
What!?
…He’s in critical condition. It’s a shame since we’ve come this far…
Old man, don’t say that!
Anyway, let’s take him to the hospital right away. No, to Battle 7 instead.


[Planet Gishin, Palace]
I see. Prince Harlin is dead.
Sir, I just heard the report. It was definitely a fatal blow.
Well done. Relay the news everywhere right away.
Yes, Your Majesty. This will significantly lower the morale of those foolish rebels. Suppressing them will be a breeze.
Yes. Then once Gandal finishes them off, there won’t be any more problems. Now then, Roze, why have you returned?
Your Majesty… I’ve been beaten by the Earthlings again. As a warrior from Planet Gishin, I want to die with honor.
What? What foolishness. I will not tolerate such selfishness.
Eh…? But I’ve failed that last chance you gave me…
Do you think you have the freedom to choose? A tool doesn’t think on their own accord. Listen Roze, you will fight for me and you will die for me. I will not accept any other way to die. Roze, you too will go. Fight the Earthlings. Fight for me until your puny life is over. Wahahahahaha!!


(Until my life is over…? Am I nothing more than a tool, a mere battle machine…)


[Battle 7, Medical Floor]
Doctor, how is Prince Harlin?
He’s in a coma. Unfortunately, there’s nothing more we can do. His internal organs have almost been completely destroyed. We’re trying to keep him alive by putting him into artificial hibernation, but…
You mean he can’t be saved?
Not by us. Even with Bahamut’s equipment, it seems like it’s impossible.
Can’t you do something, old man!?
…We could do an organ transplant, but it would take time to prepare that many perfectly compatible ones… And we can’t do mass transfusions. In small amounts, human blood would be fine, but for such a major operation…
[Alarm]
What the…
Damn, it’s the Gishin Empire.
Captain, the Gishin Empire is approaching! Please return to the bridge immediately!


Hahahaha. Since the Zaal fleet is annihilated and Harlin is dead, this is the perfect opportunity to restore His Majesty’s trust in us. This time, let’s give those hated Earthlings a sad end! Blacky, you know what to do, right?
Yes, Commander Gandal! We’ll defeat Mars and Duke Fleed and wipe the Earth from the universe. Everyone, begin the attack! Do your best to make this battle our glory.
Dammit, it’s the Vega fleet!?
Gandal and Blacky, we will never let you do what you want!
Intercept them! All pilots, hurry up and launch!


Select 15 units. Just ignore the fact that I forgot to deploy Grendizer for a map against Grendizer enemies…

We also got a new unit that I will likely never use!


[Proto Garland]
It’s just the Garland, but better in pretty much every way. No new attacks, just stronger stats, stronger attacks, and a slightly different sprite.


Now for the battle. We’re surrounded on both sides. Normal sense would dictate that you choose one side and wipe them out ASAP, then turn your attention to the other. I didn’t since hindsight is 20/20.

Once there are 5 enemies left standing…


(I don’t want to be saved anymore, but…)
Roze!?
Mars, do not show me any mercy! My only goal is to risk my life to take yours!
Dammit Roze, just wait a second!
Silence!!

These lines are added if Marg is alive.
Mars, you can’t let her die…
I know, brother. I’ll do my best.

Roze spawns to the north, so focus on the Vegans first. Thankfully, no one retreats on this map.

SECRET ALERT
This is the time to decide Roze’s fate, regardless if Marg is alive or not. If you want her to join in her own mech, have Takeru convince (説得 her. If you want her to join as a sub-pilot for the Cosmo Crusher, don’t convince her, but have Takeru fight her. Otherwise, don’t have the two interact. I believe her joining in her own unit has priority over having her as a sub-pilot.


If Marg is alive in your own timeline, the dialog changes. I’ll show off the differences.

Firstly, the boss conversations.

Damn Grendizer. I, Gandal, will knock you down!
Shut up, you demon!

Damn you, you murdered my father! Prepare yourself!!
Damn you Daltanious, I will end you!

Mars, this is your end!
Gandal, you stole my line!

Mars… Prepare yourself!
Dammit. Roze!!


If you convince Roze while Marg is dead…

Wait, Roze! We can still fight, but do you think Marg would be happy to see us take revenge on each other!?
Emperor Zuul’s orders take priority over everything!
Then you’re just a battle machine! Stop this, Roze! Kloppen realized this, which is why he rebelled.
Kuh… I am a loyal battle machine!
Stop this ignorance! Roze, I don’t want you to die. Please stop!
…Why? Why are you trying to help me, your enemy? If it were on a mission, even my own allies would kill me. Why!?
Marg wouldn’t be happy if I killed you. Roze, you’re not a battle machine. You’re a person. You’re not meant to be Zuul’s tool just for fighting!
Mars…? I… I am… No, I can’t choose any other way now!
Dammit, Roze!!

But if you convince Roze while Marg is still alive…

Stop it. Stop this now, Roze!
Silence! Emperor Zuul’s orders take priority over everything!
You’re not Zuul’s tool or a battle machine that fights when ordered. You’re a person. Marg said that he wants to help you. I… I don’t want you to die either.
Commander Marg did…? But I’m… a loyal battle machine!
Stop this ignorance! Don’t you know what happened with Kloppen!?
Kuh… Mars, why are you trying to help me, your enemy? If it were on a mission, even my own allies would kill me. Why!?
I don’t fight like that. Marg said that even though Zuul is evil, not everyone in the Gishin Empire is evil too. And I agree with him. Zuul is the one at fault.
Mars…? I… I am… It’s no use. It’s too late for me to choose another path!
Dammit, Roze!!


Eventually, these three losers will fall in battle. Poor Blacky doesn’t get any dialog or even a death line.

Dammit, I lost…
Not yet, I haven’t lost yet! We’ll return to the homeland and reorganize our fleet! Just watch, damn Earthlings!

Dammit…
Roze, get out of there!!
I… I…

Now that everyone is defeated, the chapter is finished. A nice short one-part battle. Surely not every stage for the final stretch of this game will be two-parters… Right?


Captain, I’m sensing a high energy reaction!
What is it?


Zuul!?
Mars. Earthlings. You’ve been defying me for too long. But that’s about to end. Earth is too dangerous and must be destroyed! Die and realize your own foolishness!
What did you say?
Shut up, Zuul! You have no right!
Hahahaha. I’m the ruler of the galaxy! Do you think you can win with your feeble defiance? After crushing the Helios rebellion, I’ll destroy the Earth in one fell swoop! Just wait until then!
Dammit… Zuul! I won’t let you do that!
Fools. If that’s the case, I’ll execute you all here and now!


ZUUL!!


Hmph. What a cunning clone.
What, Kloppen!? Why are you here…
Kento Tate, what is Harlin’s condition!?
H-how did you know?
Zuul relayed the news of Harlin’s imminent death to the rest of the galaxy. The Helios rebels know too.
Dad… cannot be saved…
What did you say!?
You’re in the way. Kloppen, pay for your rebellion against me with your death!
Zuul… Even if it’s just your shadow, I have to strike back! Let’s go!


Hahahaha, it’s useless! You can’t defeat me!


Guh… Damn you Zuul…
Hahahaha. Have you learned your lesson, Kloppen? This is the end you deserve!
Kloppen!? Get out of there, Kloppen!


Hmph, that unnecessary interruption is a turn off. Earthlings, live your lives until we’ve killed all those Helios fools. Wahahahaha!!


No more reactions.
Right… Retrieve Kloppen. Hurry.


[Ra Cailum, Hangar]
This conversation is if Marg is dead.
Ugh… Rui… Rui…
Takeru, I’ve got her. But she seems to be quite weak.
Right… If it’s this much, I can use my power to…
[Energy sounds, the screen flashes white]
Where… Mars!? What are you doing!?
I’m just keeping you warm. Roze, you’re inside our ship. Who’s this Rui that you kept mumbling about?
I was!? …Rui is my sister. On our home planet…she resisted the Empire’s rule. She’s probably dead now.
What!?
So… You’re not from Planet Gishin!?
My planet was also conquered by the Empire. In the Gishin Empire, if you have a position, you can protect your home planet. I wanted to survive. I pledged my loyalty to the Empire to survive and, thanks to my psychic powers, I rose through the ranks. Even became a direct subordinate to Commander Waal of the Imperial Guard. But Rui…
No way…
But I’ve been defeated again. Now I won’t even be granted an honorable death…
Roze, stop it. You must never return to Zuul. You’re not a battle machine. I know Marg thought the same.
Mars… But I…
I’ve heard your story. You can stay here until you recover. In the meantime, consider your options carefully. Also, no sabotage. Mari.
Leave it to me. I’ll keep an eye on her. I won’t let her do anything like what happened the other day. Well for now, I’ll take you to the medical room. Can you stand?



(I lost… But what did I lose to…? How can they be so kind to me, their enemy? How can they stay so strong in the face of Emperor Zuul and the Gishin Empire’s overwhelming might…?)

If Marg was saved, the only difference are these lines before Noin says her only line, replacing Takeru’s line there.

Roze, stop it. You must not return to Zuul. We’re not battle machines.
Commander Marg!? But I…ugh…


[Battle 7, Medical Floor]
Nope. It’s too late for him.
Wat!? So… both he and Kloppen will die!? Why? How did this happen!?
Kento…
But even though he rebelled against Zuul, he was the commander of an enemy fleet. This was inevitable.
Captain, he certainly was a terrible guy, but he was trying to make up for it. He must have felt guilty about not coming with us to fight Zuul. Doctor, old man, what are you talking about? You have to do something!
Yeah… Even though he’s an enemy, getting killed by Zuul right in front of us is a bit much…
Yes… But what can we do…
Kento… He seems to be calling for you.
Kento Tate. People of Earth… It seems I am about to die…
Kloppen…
Forgive me for my foolishness. I was raised by Zuul as a prince of Helios and I fought for Helios’ sake. But… It was really for Zuul…
Hey, pull yourself together.
Hehe. Let me remember the past, Koji Kabuto. I want to live in order to atone for my sins. …Listen. Use my body and my blood to save Harlin.
W-what!?
Originally… I was born from your father. We are two, but also one. I… I’m going to die, but I don’t want to die like this.
…Are you serious?
It’s all for Helios. Transplant my body into his. That’s the only way Harlin can be saved, He’s in the next capsule, right…?
Kloppen, don’t push yourself.
H-hey.
Oh, Harlin. I’ll give this body back to you now. But I’m not going to die. I’m going to live with you. Inside of you. Harlin, live. Live. Live with me and defeat Zuul. Glory to Harlin, the crown prince of the Helios Empire!!
[Kloppen has passed.]
Oh no!
…Old man. Doctor Chiba. Please perform the operation. Don’t waste Kloppen’s heart.
Please. This man was the Commander of the Zaal fleet and their attacks caused so many casualties. But he was also another of Zuul’s victims.
Zuul is to blame. Marg said the same thing.
…Fine. But we don’t have much time. We need to start the operation right away. Doctor, please get ready. I’ll perform the surgery. It’s going to be a big one and I’ll need your help.
Yes. I’m still a doctor, so I’ll do my best to help.


[Neo Zeon Military Facility, Command Center]
Well… Everyone here is depressed after hearing that Prince Harlin was fatally injured. They’re doing their best to withstand the Gishin’s assault and their fighting power is near their limit… What happened to the Prince?
The operation was a success, but he’s still in a coma. It’s unclear if he’ll make it.
I see… Damn Zuul. He went out of his way to come to Earth just to tell you what he’s doing. We can’t afford to waste any more time. People of Earth, I know this is a ridiculous request, but can you all go to Gishin? It’s the only way to stop them. Of course, I’ll meet you there.
Of course, we’ll consider it. But we don’t know when the Protodeviln will attack.
True…
Oh, I almost forgot. Actually I have some important news for you guys. It seems that the remains of an Earthling fleet were discovered on an Earth-like planet we’ve named Lux. The ship is the same kind as Lord Jenius’ ship.
What!? A Macross fleet? Were there any survivors? What happened?
Sorry, but the people who contacted me discovered what they thought was a Varauta fleet when they tried to investigate. Thankfully, they managed to escape. We don’t know anything else.
The Varauta…
…There might be people. Lord Gascon, I want the coordinates of that planet.
But Commander Max, we might end up jumping into an enemy ambush.
If there are survivors, we must go rescue them. That’s the agreement between all migrant fleets traveling through the galaxy.
…I understand. I’ll consult with Treize about Gishin as well.


[Neo Zeon Military Facility, Briefing Room]
…And that’s the situation. In response to this, we, the November Treaty Alliance, have decided to dispatch forces to Planet Lux and the Gishin Empire.
Officer Exedor also seems to think that heading to Planet Lux is important. We expect contact with Varauta and Protodeviln… but Battle 7 will head to Lux.
Wait, Commander Max, if Battle 7 is heading to Lux, how can the rest head to the Gishin Empire…
We’re going to use the Ra Cailum, Amuro.
The Ra Cailum? But that ship…
It’s for use within the Earth Sphere and shouldn’t have any Fold or warp engines. How will it get to outer space?
That’s right. It’s impossible, isn’t it?
Hahaha, don’t worry about it. I’ve anticipated something like this happening, so I salvaged a Fold engine from a wrecked escort carrier in the Macross 7 fleet. Using it, I’ve built a Fold Tugboat capable of external Folds!
Apparently, if we use that, we can Fold the Ra Cailum.
What the heck!?
I just knew something like this would happen. When was this even planned?
It’s fine, Duo. At least it’ll work.
What a crazy old man.
You’re one to talk, Ryoma.


So a Macross fleet was annihilated and we’re either heading to Lux, where the Protodeviln might be, or to the Gishin Empire… Either way, it’ll be life or death.
So…we don’t know if we’ll be able to return to the Earth Sphere again.
However… If we don’t do it, we won’t be able to do anything. As we speak, the Helios rebellion is being suppressed. Their situation only gets worse. We have to do something before the proper Gishin army arrives.
Yeah… And the Protodeviln are on the rise. We need to find a way to attack them quickly.
That’s right. The best way to do that is not to defend, but to attack first.
Things have gotten way out of hand, Kabuto.
You’re just saying that now? We have to do this, Boss.
But what about the Ruina? From what Eve said, it’s going to get pretty bad.
I know. Right now, Lady Une and Eve are doing everything they can to look into it. We need to find a way to break through the Antarctic energy field.
I see… Otherwise the entire Earth will… That won’t be fun.
Exactly. As for operations against the Ruina, while we’re away from the Earth Sphere, Treize will stay behind and take command.
…Kento, it’s fine for us to go against Gishin, but what about your dad?
He’ll come with us. It doesn’t matter if he regains consciousness or not. This is what he fought for. Kloppen would want it too.
Yes… For the sake of peace in the galaxy, we must defeat Emperor Zuul.
Hey Takeru, we agreed to try dialog first. That’s what you said. Don’t forget that.
But will talking even work?
Regardless, we need to go with purpose. If you want to carry on your father’s will, you should stop thinking only about taking up arms and fighting. We don’t even know what Emperor Zuul meant by “the Earth is dangerous”. If we can find out why, we might be able to reconcile.
I agree.
That’s right. We need to try and do everything we can.
Now that I think about it, if we head towards Lux, they might show up again, right? I wonder what Basara and Fire Bomber will do.
We can’t know what they’re thinking.
But if they really are the monsters Admiral Exedor says they are, what will happen if we lose…
Uso, that kind of thinking isn’t good for anyone.


So, what will you do, Josh? You say we’re going to parlay, but I have no doubt that we’ll be fighting the Gishin. The question is, who should we take on, Zuul or the Protodeviln? I’m asking you first. Have you already made up your mind?


Head to the Gishin Empire
>Head to Planet Lux


This is the final route split in the game. And of course, each has their own mutually exclusive secrets.

If you take the Planet Lux route, you’re joined by the entire Macross 7 cast. The Gishin route is joined by the casts of Grendizer, Daltanious, and Godmars. Every remaining series joins you regardless of which path you take.

SECRET ALERT

Josh is heading to Lux.

I’m going to Lux with Commander Max.
…I see. I’ll go with you too.
Hmph, then you’re going with me too.
Gyunei, you too?
There’s no other way. The Colonel is going and so is Quess.
…That’s fine. Tetsuya… are you okay with this?
I can’t say I’m completely fine with this. But I want to see why you and Glacies fight. I can only really make decisions in the middle of combat.
Yeah… If I survive, I’m going to Antarctica. I have to.
Yes… I know.

Meanwhile in Rim’s timeline...


Hey, what are you gonna do, Rim? Of course I’m heading to Gishin.
Hmm… I’ll…


>Head to the Gishin Empire
Head to Planet Lux


I’ll head to Gishin with you, Maria.
What? So it seems we’re going together.
You too, Quess?
It looks like the Colonel is going there. I have to protect him.

Next time, we head to Planet Lux.
