Puzzle time. The objective is to not let a single enemy onto the colony. Transform Getter into Getter-3. Judau uses Valor, moves south of Getter, and uses Beam Cannon to attack and destroy the southwestern most enemy while supported by Getter Missile. Transform into Getter-2. Uso uses Valor and moves next to Getter, hitting and destroying the enemy to the south with 8-blade Beam Saber supported by a Drill Missile. Have Kei use Accel and Gou use Valor, then transform to Getter-1. Move to the middle-top space on the colony and destroy the closest enemy with Spiral Getter Beam. Gamlin then uses Love and destroys the southernmost enemy with Micro Missiles. Use the post-combat move to position him to the right of Getter Robo. Finally, transform Kamille and have him use Valor and Assault. Move him to the space north-east of Gamlin. Destroy the enemy to the east with Hi-Mega Launcher. End turn and defend.


Victory nets 50k money and a SP+20 skill part.

I said I would upgrade Shin Dragon and that’s what I’m going to do.

Last time, Gigil learned the power of song and destroyed an entire planet to protect his crush. RIP a real one.

[Battle 7, Operations Room]
Have you managed to figure out what the Anima Spirita is so we can seal away the Protodeviln?
…I can’t say for sure yet, but I think there might be a connection to Singing Energy.
You mean Fire Bomber’s singing?
Yes. In the past when G3 came into contact with Basara on Side 3, there are records of it calling him Anima Spiritia. It’s still undergoing renovations, but once the Sound Buster System is complete, we should test it against the Protodeviln…
So what’s going on with the Protodeviln?
According to the records from the ruins, seven Evil combat soldiers were created. It seems like all of them were taken over by a lifeform from another dimension.
So there’s seven of them…
Based on current analysis, that seems to be the case.
Basara called G3 “Sivil”. There’s Gigil, who disappeared with Lux the other day along with that other one. And then there’s the combined one, GavGla…
Don’t forget Geppelnitch.
So there’s two left?
Seems so, but when I asked Lieutenant Irina Hayakawa to confirm, she confirmed that the human forms for Gigil and Geppelnitch were members of the Special Investigation Team.
Impossible, you’re saying that they’re Earthlings too?
According to the Lieutenant’s memory, Geppelnitch was a member of that team, one Staff Officer Iwarno Gunther. Gigil was Captain Autolmauer of the Marines. Considering that Gigil’s main body existed separately when he entered the cave on the fourth planet, it seems likely that they were taken over.
So that means Geppelnitch’s real body is still out there…
Also…there’s some data that I really don’t want to believe.
Like what?
Geppelnitch’s terrifying true nature. He’s an absorbent type, meaning he can absorb Spiritia from all living things. He has the kind of personality that will continue to absorb everything forever.
I see. Hahahaha. I can’t believe it. They’re truly a monster. Something more like a Spiritia black hole.
What?
So if something like that were to come back to life…
It won’t stop until all Spiritia is gone.
What!?
That doesn’t make any sense.
Exactly. The Ruins said that it self-destructed. That’s why they’re trying to establish a Spiritia Farm and secure a stable supply of Spiritia.
…Okay. So that’s why we’re being targeted?
Seems so. Our sacrifice would mean they wouldn’t attack anyone else.
So we have to choose between our freedom or the galaxy’s safety… It’s a hard call.
Hmph… If it brings peace to Earth, then something like a Spiritia Farm might be a good thing. But we don’t know what’s happening to our comrades who went to Gishin. And there’s also the Ruina matter. For the Earth’s sake, we can’t let ourselves throw in the towel.
Exactly. We must return to the Earth Sphere at all costs.
But… We still have to stop the Protodeviln… This is bad.
…I guess we have no choice but to go to the fourth planet in the Varauta system. Before Geppelnitch’s true form awakens…
But Zechs, according to our calculations, if there are three or more Protodeviln on the target planet, the probability of success is .001%. Every simulation gives the same result. The only difference is the time it takes for them to annihilate us…
That low, huh…
So what if it is? What other options do we have left? We need to use the reaction missiles installed in Battle 7.
Hayato, don’t be ridiculous.
…Let’s take a short break. I want each of you to gather your thoughts.


[Varauta System, Fourth Planet]
Awaken, Goram and Zomd.
Ohohoho.
This is
us.
Why did you call us?
Goram, Zomd, my ultimate dream is Spiritia Dreaming. It began to take shape in the flow of time like a babbling brook.
That is
amazing.
Go. Go and bring the Anima Spiritia before me.
(Goram and Zomd talk in turns, where they finish each other's sentences. The differences between sentence structure in English and Japanese makes it very difficult to be exact in what each one is saying. I’m doing my best to relay what they’re trying to say in general.)


[Battle 7, Operation Room]
…So, what was decided?
We should consider a plan of assault.
That’s our only option, Captain Max.
The chances of success are virtually nonexistent.
But Major Schwartz, Captain Kinryu and pretty much everyone else agrees. After all, if we don’t do this now…
Good grief. Earthlings always think of the craziest things.
…Okay. Let me give you my thoughts. The only way to enter the fourth planet is by a surprise attack with a small elite force. Each mech in the formation, equipped with a Fold Booster, will enter the planet, eliminate any enemies, enter the target cave, set up the reactive weapons, then quickly withdraw.
Calculating the success of this operation…
Don’t bother.
Captain Jenius…
Max… The chances of surviving are slim to none…
The assault team will be limited to volunteers only. I will be in command.
You can’t suggest that you’re going to go yourself?
It’s my plan. It’s my responsibility.


[Battle 7, Briefing Room]
Operation Stargazer…
Heh. It’s a crazy plan. Insane even.
Then why are you here? You seem motivated.
Even though you’re saying that, you were complaining to Dad a bit ago.
Ah, well, it’s kind of a habit…
Kei… Calm down. Being too nervous isn’t good.
Kei’s nervous? Impossible.
Even I can’t come up with a plan like this. It makes me nervous.
…Are you sure, Basara?
Hehe. It sounds like fun. I’ll give them a rousing live performance right in front of their eyes. My songs will definitely reach their hearts. Let’s go move their hearts!
Yes yes. Though I’m not expecting much. I feel like we’re grasping at straws.
Hey, you’re not planning on taking Mylene with you, are you?
Of course we’re leaving Mylene behind.
Guess you would. It’s for the best.
Yeah… It would be tough to cover her through all of this.
…It seems every single member of THE BOYS volunteered.
Seriously, we’re the kind of people who’d do something this reckless.
It’s a bit late to back out now.
I expected this but… Everyone, are you sure? This plan…
We’ve been fighting for the Earth Sphere this whole time.
Yes… There’s no reason to hesitate now.
If this is what we have to do, we’ll do it.
Protodeviln…
Is something wrong? If there’s anything bothering you, you can stay behind…
No… Somehow, I get the same feeling from them as Perfectio.
…I can see it. A monster from another dimension…
Captain, none of us expects to come back.
She’s right.
Yea… Though I have no intention of dying in a place like this.
Yes. If there’s no other way, I’ll do my best to win. Not to die, but to survive.
We’ll all come back from the mission successfully.
Yes… Yes we will.
Marbet, you can’t. For the sake of your baby, it’s better if you stayed behind.
Even so, I don’t want to cause you any unnecessary distractions. If the operation fails, I don’t think it’ll make much difference for those left on Battle 7.
Probably, but…
She volunteered to go, so where’s the problem?
But Quess.
Are you planning to go too, Quess?
If the Colonel is going, it’s only natural that I go too, right?
Katejina… Even if I asked you to say, you probably wouldn’t mind.
Yes, if that’s what you want.
Katejina…
Looks like we’ve got all the volunteers. Captain, let’s begin.
Gentlemen, I’m in charge of Operation Stargazer. I’m glad you volunteered. Let’s take a look at the simulation.


…The point where we think Geppelnitch’s true body is located will be called Polar Star. This is our main priority. Even if only one of us is left standing, get here and fire the reaction missiles.
Explosives are useless. If everything really depends on this operation, then I would rather sing all the more.
Sorry, but we don’t have time for that.
Bur Colonel, only Basara can really attack the enemy. If Basara doesn’t sing, there’s no point in going with him.
Ha, no doubt about that. You’re fine. If you are the first to enter Polar Star, you can sing to your heart’s desires.
That’s fine.
I believe you all have already trained to use the Fold Booster. Please double-check the instruction manual on your own. Departure will be at 0700 tomorrow. Until then, everyone is free to do as you please. Dismissed.


[Battle 7, Captain’s Quarters]
…
Max, there you are.
What is it?
I’m coming with you. The only people who could pull off such a reckless operation are just us. You and me. If we teamed up again, we might succeed.
There’s still THE BOYS. Colonel Char, Hayato, Captain Amuro, and almost everyone else volunteered.
I’m not going to lose to the aces of the Invader War or the One Year War. Plus, I think this is better than sending the younger pilots out there.
There’s also the Sound Force. Ray and Basara volunteered.
Mylene too?
She’s just like you. Of course, I won’t allow her to accompany me. I want you to stay here with Mylene and protect Battle 7. When I return alive, I need a family to greet me.
Max…
Mylene’s birthday party is starting soon. Since you’re here, why don’t we go together? Can’t believe it’s that day already. I’m sorry for what I’ve done to Mylene, but…


[Battle 7, Observation Room]
Operation Stargazer, huh? I never thought I’d be involved in a mission like this all the way out here.
Are you sure you’re okay with this?
From our perspective, there’s no way I wouldn’t volunteer. If we survive, the way forward will open up. Hmm…?
Shakti…
Uncle and Katejina… Don’t you need to rest?
…
I’m fine. But… I never expected you to come out here. I wish you would remain in Side 3, but…
Uncle… Were you worried?
Of course. You’re the only family I have left.
…
Even so… I’m also worried. I think you both need to take it easy for a bit. THE BOYS will protect the Earth Sphere and end these wars. They’re people who have come together for a purpose, forgetting all other considerations, even if only temporarily. It’s not strange that you both came from BESPA.
…I think I’m beginning to understand that. I’m trying my best, but dealing with one’s own heart is quite a hassle.
But can we entrust our lives to each other as things are now?
If necessary… It’s what I intend to do.


[Battle 7, Event Hall]
Congratulations, Mylene.
Thank you, everyone…
If you told us earlier that it was your birthday, we would have prepared more for you.
That’s right. And your presents should be more proper…
Gaa~
Oh, Karl!? Shakti, what are you doing?


So it’s her birthday… It’s a shame that it’s on a day like this.
Yeah… But it’s great that she has a family to celebrate with. Even at a time like this.
That’s not an issue. Oh Glacies, by the way, do you have a birthday or something like that?
Hmm… It hasn’t even been a year since I was brought into this world.
Glacies…
…Can I open one of these?
Open one of what?
What’s the procedure to ingest this source of energy? It’s too stiff.
Oh that… Well first, you have to peel the shell…
Hey, don’t make a mess. Seriously, it’s always the same. Isn’t it bad that you keep talking about food like that?
I’m sorry. So I should “eat” the “meal”?
Josh, let me teach her better ways of saying things.
That wasn’t me. Blame Koji…


Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I guess I’ll head back to my room.
Oh right. Shakti, let’s go.
Okay… Umm, Mylene, since it’s your birthday, please don’t make such a sad face. It’ll work out.
Exactly. This is a happy day. You need to smile.
I mean… It’s not from this celebration. It’s because everyone…might be gone tomorrow…
Geez, you have such a pathetic look on your face. Good luck, Gamlin. Come on guys.
[Everyone else leaves]
…
Um… Mylene, take this.
Thank you… Wow, it’s a ring. Is something wrong?
I bought it before we left Earth. I actually wanted it to be my birthstone, but I’m in the Diamond Force, so it’s a diamond. …If I return alive, please wear this on your left ring finger.
Eh?
Well then, Mylene. Gamlin Kizaki of the Diamond Force is going.
(Small note, Gamlin’s birthday is listed as January 17, 2026. That would make his birthstone a garnet.)


[Battle 7, Bridge]
It’s time to leave.
Amuro…
[Alarm]
This is… A Defold reaction! Acting Captain Milia, Staff Officer Exedor, Varauta forces are approaching!
Many small enemy mechs detected. Two Code PDs have been confirmed!
What the heck?
Two Protodeviln…?
…We have no choice but to cancel the operation. All units, detach Fold Boosters and shift into intercept mode.
(Only Exedor, Sally, Miho, and Milia are in the bridge)
What are you talking about, Max! If two Protodeviln are here instead of the enemy’s base, this is the best chance to hit Geppelnitch’s body!
But…
Commander Max, we will stay behind. Leave the defense of Battle 7 to me. It will be half of the planned number, but it won’t make much of a difference.
Yes. We’ll do whatever it takes to stop them here.
Godspeed, Max!
I don’t care either way. Just hurry up.
…Understood. Sorry, but help us out.
Let’s go, Captain.
Anyone who answers this call from now on will have to leave Stargazer. Begin disconnecting your Fold Booster immediately. We will intercept the approaching Varauta forces.
Gamlin… Basara… Papa…
Mylene, wait!
I’m going! I don’t want the people who are precious to me to leave me! I’m going to go with them!
You fool.
I may be a fool, but I…
No, you’re not. If you’re going to go, I want you to wear this. This is the wing mark I had when I was flying with Max. With this, no matter how dangerous, you will make it.
Mama…
It’s going to be okay. You’re Max and my daughter, so have confidence in yourself. Now go!
Yes!


Did they leave…?
Yeah… I hope everyone returns safely…
Amuro, be careful…
It’s okay, Beltorchika. I’ll do something about this.
The Protodeviln and Varauta will soon be within combat range!
All remaining units, please hurry up and take off!


You got eight choices to help defend the homeland. Please note that anyone you deploy on this map, including the forced Char and Amuro, cannot deploy on the next chapter. Pick your units wisely and don’t stack all of your leveled characters in one chapter over the other. You also cannot choose any Sound Force, which is annoying since Ray is my main support and it’ll be rough taking down a Protodeviln without singing.


Oh, it’s the same as Commander Max’s machine. The latest prototype Valkyrie, huh?
You guys got the short end of the stick. Sorry, but I’m going to have to run you over now.
Is that Acting Captain Milia!? Please go back. We…
Who do you think you’re talking to, Captain? I’ve been an ace since before you were even born. My arms haven’t slowed down yet.
But…
The enemy is two Protodeviln… And we don’t have the Sound Force. But I’ll do my best to protect you. Alright! Staff Officer Exedor, prepare the reaction warheads!


Ohohoho.
Hohohoho.
Spiritia Farm.
Anima Spiritia.
All will
becomes ours.
Fire the reaction warheads at the Protodeviln.
A-are we really going to use the reaction warheads…?
Lieutenant Miho, do I need to repeat myself?
R-reaction warheads, target lock. Targeting the Protodeviln.
Fire.
Reaction warheads, FIRE!!


Did it work?
No… It didn’t.
Ohohoho. Useless.
At this rate
we will absorb
their Spiritia.
Even if we use reactive weapons… They really are monsters.
Apparently we’ll have to get close and attack directly. Everyone, let’s go! Follow me!
All units, repel the Protodeviln at all costs! Attack with everything you’ve got!!

First, Milia’s new ride.


[VF-22S Sturmvogel II]
The VF-22S’s are slightly better than the Excaliburs in every single way at base value. Really, it’s just another Valkyrie.

SECRET ALERT
Only by taking this route will all non-singing Valkyries and Battle 7 gain a new attack, the Reaction Warheads. They have low ammo but deal massive damage, giving Valkyries a proper finisher.


Thankfully there’s no enemy reinforcements on this map, nor is there a second part. On the other hand, there’s twin Protodeviln and you’ll have to defeat one of them without any singing and with about half of your normal built up units. No pressure, right?


When you make your way to these Protodeviln, you may think to separate them. It’s actually in your best interest to keep them together. That’s because they will default in doing their combination attack, which massively drains the EN from both of them and limits the amount of attacks they can put out. Just use defensive spirits.


You only need to beat one of the twins to finish the map and they thankfully don’t support defend each other. Focus fire and, even while dealing half damage and them having HP regen, they’ll fall easier than expected. Easier, not faster.

Ohohohoho. Not enough
Spiritia.
It’s not here.
The Anima Spiritia.
Then
it’s over there.
We will stop it.
Hohohoho!
[Every remaining enemy leaves]

The Varauta and Protodeviln’s withdrawal confirmed.
They’re planning something…
Oh dear. I can feel my life expectancy shortening.
(I wonder how long my own lifespan is…)
Operation complete. Good work everyone. Return to base.
They looked beaten… But…
Yeah… I guess we can’t properly fight the Protodeviln without Basara…
They’re too tough. I figured we couldn’t beat them outright. At least we were able to push them back.


[Battle 7, Bridge]
The issue is that the reactive warheads don’t work on Protodeviln.
Then…
We were relying on reactive weaponry for Stargazer, so now it’s bound to fail.
Maybe that will happen. The operation is a failure.
No way.
So then the Captain…
Basara and the Sound Force is our only hope… I wonder how far the soundwaves will travel…
Acting Captain Milia, Staff Officer Exedor, I propose we Fold to the fourth planet in the Varauta system. We need to help them.
…That seems to be our only real option. We will head to the fourth planet’s orbit as soon as we can. You got that, Admiral Exedor?
There’s no guarantee that it’ll be safe but…it can’t be helped.
