Due to the excessive length of this update, it’s split into two parts. This is part one.
Last time, we made an uneasy alliance with Lady Gandal to take down Zuul once and for all.
Gishin Route Chapter 33: Deathmatch! The Final Battle on Planet Gishin!
Chapter 32 if you went Space/Jupiter. Chapter 34 if you went Earth/Keilas.
[Planet Gishin, Imperial Guard Base]
(...I never expected the Earthlings would become so powerful like Godmars. But no matter how much they wish for peace, there’s no chance Emperor Zuul would even consider it. A battle is inevitable. Either Mars or Emperor Zuul will win… If the Earthlings win, I’m doomed. But if Emperor Zuul wins, then Gaia will explode here…)
Excuse me, Commander Waal. We just received an order from His Majesty to launch an all-out attack on the Earthling’s battleship.
I see…
(They will reach Planet Gishin. The Empire is in chaos. Emperor Zuul will eventually perish, regardless if he wins or loses. If that’s the case, I just need to wait. If I can survive this crisis, my time will come… Okay.)
Everyone in this fleet will load up as many supplies as they can and prepare to depart.
Commandr Waal, what do you…
You idiot, Gaia is coming here. We need to be prepared, just in case.
R-roger! My apologies! We’ll start preparations right away!
(This is fine. Now all we have to do is escape as soon as we’re ready…)
[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
A communication from Guide Dog. “Preparations are complete for the final Fold to Planet Gishin”.
I hope that Lady Gandal pulls through…
I agree… But we have to prepare for the possibility that she fails.
Right…
I don’t think Zuul will be killed so easily. Better safe than sorry.
Exactly. Have Guide Dog activate the Fold mechanism.
On it, Colonel.
Let’s go. Everyone, this is your Captain speaking. This ship will now head to the home planet of the Gishin Empire with its final Fold. Combat may break out right away, so prepare for battle. All pilots, stand by to launch!
The Gishin Empire… and Zuul. For the sake of the Earth, we must end the battle at all costs…
[Ra Cailum, Pilot Waiting Room]
All pilots, stand by to launch!
Bright’s really fired up.
Of course he is. We’re at the end.
Yeah… Whether we win or lose, it’ll be over.
Kamille, stop being so depressing.
Yeah. Besides, it’s possible that it’s already over…
But if Lady Gandal fails, then we’ll have to fight that monster to the death. Are you guys ready?
It’ll be fine. I know it.
Of course. That’s why I’m here.
Mission accepted.
Yeah, we know.
That much is obvious. Why are you saying that now?
That’s right. Since we’ve come this far, we have to follow through.
Yeah. We have to do it.
…
Planet Gishin… Our home…
(This time, it’s the real Planet Gishin… The planet I was born on… Mom and Dad, watch over me. Zuul will be defeated here.)
[Planet Gishin, Palace]
Lady Gandal, how dare you return so proudly.
Your Majesty… Why didn’t you send reinforcements like you promised?
You idiot, I did send reinforcements. As well as one of my shadows. You couldn’t even hold them off until they arrived, which is why they’re still alive!
…
Go, Lady Gandal. You’ll take the lead and launch an all-out attack on them!
Emperor Zuul… You must die so that we can live!
What?
[Lightning sounds. Screen flashes]
You fool, have you lost your mind? You think you can kill me with that!? You will pay for your betrayal with your death!
[Zuul fires his a psychic blast]
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!
Ugh… Damn you, Lady Gandal. What have you done to me…
You’ve returned, Gandal.
(No, not now…)
Silence! I’ll finish off the traitor with my own hands! Take this!
[Gandal fires his gun at himself]
Ugh…
Well done, Gandal. It looks like you’ve finished off Lady Gandal.
M-my apologies, Your Majesty. Now that I’ve finished off the one who shared my body, I don’t have much time left. To wash away this…shame, I’ll use my remaining life to defeat them for you.
What impressive resolve. Gandal, I will never forget your loyalty.
Thank you for your kind words! Your Majesty, I’m off to battle!
[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
Fold out complete. It’s Planet Gishin!
And Guide Dog?
Sir, it seems the Fold mechanism has stopped.
So it did. Tell Guide Dog’s crew to immediately transfer to the Ra Cailum. Abandon Guide Dog.
We’ve made great time getting here.
Perhaps… But now we don’t have a way to return.
Hmph. I guess we have no choice but to go to Planet Gishin.
Transfer from Guide Dog complete.
…No contact from Lady Gandal.
Did she fail, or…
Either way, there’s only one way to find out.
Captain, let’s go.
Beltorchika, notify all personnel. The Ra Cailum will now enter Planet Gishin!
Planet Gishin… Even though we’ve gotten closer, my heart and Zuul’s are farther than the distance between our planets. But we will never lose…
Ugh… My life will soon come to an end. This is my final service to Emperor Zuul. I will die but take you all with me!
That’s…
Lady Gandal!? What happened?
I am Commander Gandal of the Gishin Empire Vega Fleet. I killed Lady Gandal with my own hands.
What the hell?
Lady Gandal…
So you were serious after all… Lady Gandal…
But then…
That’s right, Roze. Thanks to you, I’m fatally injured. But I will not forgive you! Let our ships die together!
W-what did he say?
You can’t be…
He’s planning a suicide attack!?
Stop him! Stop him no matter what!
Gandal! GAIAAAAAAAAAA!!
Come, Five God Robots! ROKUSHIN GATAAAAAAAAAAI!
I’ll go as well, Mars! DIZER, GO!
Gandal… I will protect my friends. I won’t let you do what you want!
Choose 13 units. Oh boy this is one of the most tedious two-parters of all time. But someone like Zuul won’t go down without a fight.
No enemy reinforcements to worry about for this first part. Just stick to the usual plan and everything will be business as usual. There is one thing to worry about, and that is Gandal’s suicidal tendencies. Just put any unit next to him and…
Dammit… It’s not good… This is the end. At the very least, I’ll drag you down to hell with me! EMPEROR ZUUUUUUUUUUUUL!!
Yes, if you put a unit adjacent to him, any unit, he will self-destruct. This will kill himself and damage any unit next to him for 30k unavoidable damage. You could bait this out with someone like Boss Borot, but that would rob you of the money and experience. And if that unlucky target would be Godmars or Ra Cailum, it’s an instant game over. Take him out from a distance.
There’s even a unique Game Over line for that.
D-did it self-destruct? What’s the damage!?
But back on track.
This isn’t funny! I won’t let the Ra Cailum sink! Fall, Gandal!!
In that case, I’ll get rid of your first!
You’re done for, Duke Fleed! Die, die already!
Gandal… This is the end for you! Now, bear the wrath of the people of the planet you destroyed!
Prepare yourself, enemy of Planet Fleed!
I won’t let a little girl take me!
Curse you, Daltanious! If only you weren’t here…! DIE!!
That’s my line! Let’s go, Danji!
Yea, let’s finish Gandal off!
Gandal, I won’t let you do a suicide attack!
Mars! I’ll defeat you once and for all!
Marg, you bastard! Curse you. I won’t let you be the only one to survive. Marg, we’ll die together!
Gandal… I’ll defeat you and then Zuul! Let’s go!
Commander Gandal, stop this!
Traitor! I’ve dealt with Lady Gandal. Next I’ll deal with you!
Ugh… This is the end… EMPEROR ZUUUUUUUUUUL!!
The last remaining Gishin Psychic, Gul, slipped in behind Gandal, so take them out too.
Ugh… So my role is over, huh… Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!?
Once all enemies are destroyed, part one is over! And this is just the easy part.
We did it…
Good job, brother! Koji!
Yeah. Like I was gonna let that bastard Gandal ram into the Ra Cailum.
Looks like you all managed to survive. Well done.
Don’t say that, Captain. You’ll jinx it!
Yeah, it’s a bit early for that.
Zuul… Come out! You’re the only one left!!
There you are… Emperor Zuul.
Mars, you’ve been corrupted ever since you were sent to Earth. My only mistake was your defiance and not destroying the planet. I will never forgive you, Mars.
Zuul, you rely on power and only use it to suppress your people! That’s why you fear power! We’ve come this far and now understand that you’re a man who only thinks about the justice of power!
Hahahahaha. I am the ruler of the galaxy! The entire galaxy will move at my will! Die, Mars! I will execute you and bury you all in a single grave!
Zuul, this time, we’re on the real Planet Gishin. Have you forgotten that if I die, the planet will be destroyed?
I don’t care. I will still live on. If this planet dies, I will just create a second Planet Gishin.
What!?
You’ve got to be kidding me… So you don’t care what happens to the people on your planet!?
Zuul, you’re batshit insane!
Zuul!! You’re from the planet… Don’t you care about its people!?
Hahahahaha! All life in the universe exists to serve me!
Bastard…
(Yes. He’s horrible!)
How dare… I won’t let him go any further!
That’s right. Zuul, we’ll settle this here! Prepare yourself!
Let’s go, Godmars!
You fearless bastards! Know my power!!
What the hell!?
Ye gods!
Oh this is very bad. Planet Gishin is…!
What is it?
Large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are happening all over the planet!
Hmm… If this continues, this planet will be destroyed. Of course, its people will die out before that happens. How horrible.
No, what’s even more surprising is the strength of Zuul’s psychic powers. Hahahaha, what power! Amazing! Mars, hurry up and attack! Fight him! I want to see more of his abilities! I want to see it with my own eyes!
Hey, can someone shut Dr. Shikishima up?
It can’t be… Is Zuul planning to destroy the planet himself!?
My god. What frightening power.
Damn you Zuul! Are you planning to sacrifice not only us, but everyone on this planet as well!?
Oh no, we have to help the people…
But Captain…
Even if you say that, we don’t have the time!
(Dammit, this isn’t funny! If they fight here, the planet will collapse before we can escape! This second chance will all be for naught. Aaahh!)
Earthlings, you need to stop! Emperor Zuul’s power is too great! At this rate, this planet will collapse on itself even without detonating Gaia! Not only will the people perish, but you’ll get caught up in it too! Move the battle into space!!
Commander Waal!? Oh… This was Emperor Zuul’s plan the entire time!
Curse you Waal. You talk too much!
Die, you fool!
E-Emperor Zuul!?
Waaaaaaaaaaah!!
Commander Waal!!
[The screen shakes violently]
Oh no, Planet Gishin will be destroyed if this continues. We’ll drag him into space!
