Last time, the Dendoh kids got traumatized hard.
[Mycenaean Empire, Command Room]
Thank you for coming. First of all, let me express my gratitude.
So you’re the Emperor of Darkness who rules Mycenae. I’m Heinel, commander of the Boazan Empire’s Earth Conquest Force.
(Prince Heinel)
Likewise, I am Jangal Rui of the same force.
(Jangal Rui)
I am Janera, commander of the Earth Conquest Force from Planet Campbell. These are my subordinates, the scientist Warchimedes and his brother General Dungele.
(Empress Janera)
So what’s happening here? Are you going to bow before us?
(General Dungele)
What was that!? Do you think us proud Boazans will ever bow to the likes of you?
Huh!? I’ll force you to!
Stop it, Dungele. If we fight here, the only winner will be those damn Earthlings.
(Warchimedes)
But brother!
Jangal, put away your sword. As Warchimedes said, there’s no need to give the Earthlings a win. As they say “the weakest dogs bark the loudest”.
What did you just say!?
Dungele, stop this!
[She shocks him]
UUUWAAAAAAAA MY HEEEEAAAAAADDDDD!
Even when punished he’s too loud.
Apologies for my tardiness. I am General Bat from the Dinosaur Empire.
I’m Science and Technology Director Galilei, also from the Dinosaur Empire.
(Galilei)
I see Emperor Gore isn’t here. It seems that the wounds he suffered from the Getter have yet to heal.
Kuh…
Unfortunately, we’ve yet to receive a response from either Gaizok or Galfa. It seems they do not share the same goals that we have.
So what you want is a temporary truce between us so that we fight together against the Earthlings?
Yes. Since you’re all here, I assume the idea is appealing.
It is. Although we’re all from different places, our goal is one in the same; to take back the Earth from the humans.
After the humans are destroyed, we could be convinced to split the Earth equally.
That sounds boring. I have a different idea.
What is it, Prince Heinel?
Even if we split the spoils between us, it’s obvious that our truce won’t last. It wouldn’t be good for anyone if we all ended up killing each other.
What are you getting at?
You know about THE BOYS, right? The unit that both Mazingers and Getter belong to? Combattler V and Voltes V are scheduled to join them soon.
Our sworn enemies will all be in one place.
Exactly. So how about this? Whoever among us destroys THE BOYS will take control of Earth after the conquest of humanity.
An interesting proposal. I’m curious though, can you and your forces defeat your respective arch-enemies alone?
The Boazans can. Besides, their defeat will be proof that we’re the strongest ones here.
It’s only natural that the strongest shall rule. I agree to these terms.
Good. Are any of you in disagreement?
(We’ve been getting little support from our home planet recently. It would be wise to use these idiots.)
(We need to buy more time until Lord Gore is fully resurrected. It would be wise to use these idiots.)
(Like hell we were going to split the land in the first place. For now, it would be best to play along.)
Very well. We accept your proposal.
I’ll show you the power of the Dinosaur Empire!
Victory will come to us Campbellians, but I suppose we’ll give you a glimmer of hope.
Dammit, they keep insulting Boazan.
Pay them no mind, Jangel.
(Hehehe. I can’t wait to see their faces when they see the true power of us Boazians.)
It’s settled then. So who will lead the first charge against THE BOYS?
The Dinosaur Empire shall do it!
He who strikes first shall be the victor, I take it? Very well, let’s see what the Dinosaur Empire is made of.
[Dinosaur Empire, Command Room]
Director Galilei, is it really okay for us to take the lead when we still need time to revive Lord Gore?
That’s precisely why we’re taking the lead. We’ll strike them down before they can get to full strength. If we’re offering to go first, no one will accuse us of stalling for time.
I see. So it's all to protect our Empire’s honor. Alright, send out the Mechasaurus!
[Hoshimicho, Dojo]
So Ginga’s mom is the master of this martial arts dojo?
Yes. It would be fair to say that most of Dendoh’s power comes from Ginga’s fighting abilities.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Haaaaaaah!
Gin! You’ve been slacking on your training!
Hah… Hah..
This is just embarrassing.
…
Thank you very much!
Yeah, see you next week…. And now, you.
…Why was I chosen? I’m…
Gin… Who did you lose to?
Mom…
Your heart wasn’t in today’s training. I’ve always said that no matter how strong you are, there’s always someone out there who’s stronger.
…
But you only truly lose when you give up, and I’ve taught you to never lose.
So you’re saying it’s alright? That it’s fine that I lost that fight? But I couldn’t do anything against him. I can’t see anyone beating him!
You think you can win just because you have a Data Weapon? You lack discipline, pilot!
…Anyone would lose their will to fight against a guy like that.
You’re pathetic, Dendoh pilot.
…No one can beat a guy like that! Not with that kind of power!
Gin… You really lost… Take your time going home. Mommy will go shopping on my way back.
…Okay…
(I think I’ll make him his favorite tonight.)
[Hoshimicho, City]
You have a good mom, don’t you?
Oh, Chibodee.
Was losing such a big deal? It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve lost a fight, right?
…Chibodee, you just don’t get it. The Shuffle Alliance is super strong.
I’ve lost fights before. Truly lost fights. You know the Devil Gundam?
Yeah.
The first time I fought against it, I lost hard. I was tormented by visions of it for a while… But worst of all, I lost myself right in front of my fans.
…
Every time that’s happened, it was my friends and fans who helped me get back up. I wouldn’t be who I am now if I was alone.
So what!?
Were you alone when you fought Ogre?
Uh…
You made fun of everyone, thought you were the strongest, and looked down on them.
…
Your power isn’t yours alone. Realize that, and you’ll become even stronger. Look, your partner is here.
Ginga!
Hokuto…
We’ve got trouble. The enemy’s attacking the town!
What? Is it Galfa?
No. They said it’s a Mechasaurus.
They’re still enemies. Let’s go!
Chibodee… You’ve beaten me to the punch.
You mean Ginga? It was out of character for me to be preaching to him.
[Hoshimicho, Ginga’s Residence]
I’m not going…
What are you talking about, Ginga?
Even if we don’t go out there, everyone will get the job done. I’m giving back my Gear Commander! Who cares about Galfa and Dendoh!
Ginga…
You’ve been saying this from the very start, haven’t you. We’re just kids!
Ginga!
[Right hook]
Y-you hit me!
Enough with this pity party. I’m just as scared as you are! …No. Unlike you, I’ve always been scared!
Hokuto. I…
Chapter 10: Arrival!! Texas Mack!
Choose 12 units to defend the town against the Dinosaurs. Neo Getter is a force deploy.
They’re going on a rampage!
Getter’s here? You’re the one we really want!
A flying object is approaching at high speeds.
Is it an enemy?
No. I don’t sense any hostility from it.
This ID signal… Who is it!?
What is that robot!?
Howdy y’all! Sho, it’s been a hot minute.
(Jack King)
We’re here to pull you right out of the fire.
(Mary King)
Even if the whole dang Earth’s together, America’s still the sheriff in these parts! Earth and Space is our jurisdiction!
(Jack and Mary talk with somewhat broken Japanese and lots of Engrish. I’ve decided to write them as cowboys.)
What’s with that guy?
Jack and Mary King. They pilot Texas Mack.
Can’t you do something about the way you talk? You’re embarrassing America.
Tsk tsk tsk. Don’t you worry about the details, pardner.
Are all these big shot Americans like this?
So you’re the new pilot, ain’t cha? The Japanese got my sympathies if they’re gonna be protected by a pocket monkey like you, pardner.
J-Jack…
Who you calling a pocket monkey!?
My apologies if I hit a sore spot.
Asshole! You think you’re hot shit, don’t you!? Get out here so I can punch your face in!
Gou, calm down. We’re not fighting them!
He’s right. There’s an army of monsters right there.
Whatever. Just remember that, asshole!
When the Earth’s finally united, there won’t be a Japan or America.
So that’s one of THE BOYS too? Crush him with the rest!
Finally, it’s time for the best boy.
[Texas Mack]
IT’S SO COOL! Texas Mack is average. Its three attacks have slightly higher than average attack power, but its biggest downfall is its lack of ammo for anything except its melee attack. Its finisher has Too Much High Power Man and a whopping 9 range, but only three shots and a semi-high will requirement. Texas Mack will get better later in the game, but even now it’s plenty usable. Also I love how its hat turns into its shield.
Charge at the dinosaurs. I wouldn’t say to take your time heading north, since something will happen shortly that will need backup in the north-east.
And that plot continues when there’s five enemies left…
Waaaaah. I’m scared.
It’ll be okay. Look, the good guys are defeating the scary monsters.
Oh no, another one!?
General Bat, at this rate the aliens will look down on you.
I know. Leave the command to me.
Aaahhh!
Are you alright?
Ahh! Mom!
Ginga!
…Dammiiiiiiiiit! Dendoh, launch!
Dendoh!
You’re late, punk!
…
(Leo Circle)
Uryaaaaaaaa!
Ugh. You brat!
I won’t let you do whatever you want anymore!
Dendoh’s stance… It can’t be!
Dendoh is finally here and he’s ready to kick some ass. Swap it to Unicorn Drill and go to town on Galilei. I personally sent some backup to him to help speed things along, but I don’t think it’s necessary as long as you toss him a Trust every now and then.
Thankfully, neither Dinosaur boss retreats at low HP, so they go down soon enough. Bat goes down first.
I-I would lose to a mere human!?
Galilei’s machine looks interesting, but he goes down easily enough.
I was too careless!
With the Dinosaurs all gone, the map doesn’t end yet.
…
Here we go again!
Look at that!
A Data Weapon!
Leo Circle!
This time we’ll catch it!
I’m deploying the Mechanical Beasts.
There’s no need for that.
L-Lord Altair.
I’ll take Leo Circle for myself too!
I won’t let you do that! I… I won’t lose again!
Are you planning to fight me head on? Very well!
Altair…
Now we’ve got Galfa to deal with. Unlike the map with Unicorn Drill, moving Dendoh next to Leo Circle won’t do anything. Protect the Data Weapon and beat back Galfa and Altair. If Leo Circle dies, it’s game over.
Protect this creature. The Galfa will be trying to make a beeline for it.
Ogre, let’s fight!
You’re just an inexperienced pilot who doesn’t know your own strength!
…Dendoh’s movements… Is it really you, Gin?
Ugh… What’s this feeling…
I knew it. Altair is really…
Altair retreats at 30% HP (3169), so knock him out with something big. I just had to use Texas Mack’s big gun for this one. At this point, you should start getting Valor on more pilots.
That’s all for today.
The map is over when all the Galfa are defeated.
Huh? The Data Weapon isn’t moving.
What’s wrong?
…
Oh… My Gear Commander is glowing.
I see. Leo Circle is telling you to Save him.
Me? …Alright. File Save, Leo Circle!
Yes! I finally got my own Data Weapon!
Ginga, remember this. What Leo Circle seeks is “courage”. It has acknowledged your bravery.
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
Let me introduce them again. This is Jack and Mary King, siblings who will be joining THE BOYS from today on.
We owe you a big one, Sho.
It’s what you call give and take. We’re here to settle our scores.
Same.
Since you’re here, you’re bound to make it on the B team.
Ain’t you full of bluster, Japanese mountain monkey.
What did he say?
Don’t ask me.
It’s hard to tell with his accent, but what did he say again?
Something about mountains.
Right, right. Japanese mountain monkey… Wait, who the hell are you calling a monkey!!
… That took longer than it should have.
It would be an insult to monkeys to be compared to Gou.
WHY YOU LITTLE!
Good grief. More importantly, you seem to be in better spirits, Ginga.
Um… I’m sorry for worrying everyone.
As long as you understand. My work here is done.
But you didn’t do anything.
At least now I have my own Data Weapon. Next time, Ogre’s gonna get a nasty surprise!
Remember, Final Attacks use a lot of energy, so you can only use it once.
Oh yeah. You can’t swap out the batteries with Boss Borot’s resupply device.
If he dodges it again, we’re finished.
I see. So no matter how many Data Weapons we have, we can only use the Final Attack once.
You won’t need to worry about that anymore!
The Cell Fighter is finally finished. It’s an aerial battery swapping machine!
A battery chopping machine? Isn’t that dangerous?
Battery swapping machine. In other words, it can replace Dendoh’s batteries.
It’s also usable as a fighter jet.
Either me or the Vice Commander will pilot it.
Heck yeah. Now we can use Final Attacks nonstop!
Well, only after the batter swap happens. Besides, there’s a limit to the number of batteries the Cell Fighter can carry.
If you get carried away and fire them off repeatedly, we’ll run out of batteries.
[Mycenaean Empire, Command Room]
What a quant skirmish. I’m sure this is the best the Dinosaur Empire’s got.
(...Say whatever you want for now. Gore will soon be back. Then it’s over for you.)
So, who’s up next…
[Hoshimicho, Ginga’s Residence]
I’m home! Mom, I’m starving!
Of course you are. What have you been up to all day?
Hehehe. Not much. Oooooo my favorite!
Don’t be greedy.
(Gin…)
The following scene is on Fiona’s route only. There is no Raul equivalent.

[GEAR HQ, A Room]
How’s the time slip analysis going?
Theoretically, we can do it right now. But practice isn’t as easy as in theory.
What do you mean?
The flow of time is the speed time particles move from the past to the future. Well to be more precise, it’s the difference of the speed of anti-time particles moving from the future to the past.
I know that much. I’m not clueless about time particles. Basically the flow of time is constant, but under certain conditions, the speed of time particles, or rather anti-time particles, changes, creating a different flow of time. That’s the Urashima effect.
Correct. In our case, it was a powerful and explosive force.
So the anti-time particles increased instantaneously and pushed us into the past?
No. The time turbine itself caused the flow of time particles to reverse.
The time turbine did?
Yes. Think of the time turbine as a windmill and the flow of time particles like the wind. When the wind flows, the windmill spins and energy is created. But the wind itself is at a constant rate.
That’s why the Time Flow Engine can supply stable energy. But as long as the wind is constant, it cannot produce more than a certain amount.
Correct again. So the only way to increase the energy generated is to increase the conversion efficiency of the engine. But what happens if you force it to increase?
Increasing it means forcibly increasing the rotation speed of the turbine… Ah!
Now you get it. The time turbine went out of control. That’s how we time slipped. What happens when the rotation of the windmill exceeds the wind it receives? It becomes a propeller. The time turbine, which became the propeller, sent the main body of the Excellence flying upwind. That is to say, to the past! That’s what caused our time slip. …Of course, this is just speculation.
But if that’s the cae, then only the Excellence will make the leap.
At that time, time particles were leaking into the surrounding area. As a result, everything around us, including the Excellence we were inside, was caught up in it. The Time Flow Engine may also be involved.
So you’re saying…
We just need to do the opposite. Either ride the flow of time particles more than usual, or go back in time but with anti-time particles… The former would be the easier route.
I know you could do it, Raji! We’re counting on you!
Please, hold off on the praise. We’ve still got quite a ways to go.
Don’t worry. I know you can do it, Raji. I’ll give you a shoulder massage.
N-no thanks. That tickles.
…You’re really amazing. Much more than I am…
Do you regret quitting research to focus more on piloting?
…I feel like I’ve just pushed everything onto you.
But you can do things I can’t, so it evens out.
…Alright.
[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Whatcha up to, Mizuho?
She’s developing a new Excellence Frame.
(Both the Striker and Gunner Frames lack mobility… We need a Frame with better mobility…)
The Excellence… Flyer Frame…
