Video of this chapter

Last time, Raul’s secret was almost uncovered and some Data Weapons got seriously injured.


[Spiral Castle, Command Room]
My lord, just how did Lagou damage those Data Weapons?
His Majesty sealed a power inside Lagou. Although it’s never manifested itself before now…
We’ll call it the Lagou Virus.
My lord, if they’ve been infected by the Lagou Virus, then…
Those Data Weapons will soon be destroyed.
That’s bad! We’ve been fighting to capture the Data Weapons, not destroy them.
If they end up getting destroyed by Lagou…
That damn Lagou. If only he wasn’t the Emperor’s precious pet…
[Explosions]
Not again!
Is he going to infect the remaining Data Weapons with that virus?
Stop Lagou! Don’t let him infect any more Data Weapons!
Sir!


[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
I never thought that there would be a virus strong enough to penetrate a Data Weapon’s defenses and infect them…
Can’t we do something about this? If this keeps up, Leo and Unicorn will die!
We can only hope the vaccine program that Eris is developing can do something about this…
Unicorn…




[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
What the heck kind of virus is this!? I can’t believe it’s breaching every kind of firewall that exists!
At least we’re slowing down the Lagou Virus.
Hey! The program I made isn’t doing anything to it.
Try using these. They’re a program and vaccine that Omoikane and I made.
Use everything you’ve got!
I’ll set up a defensive line with Ruriruri. At the same time, we’ll use the vaccine.
Any luck?
The Lagou Virus…has stopped!
Yay. I knew you could do it, Ruri. V!
It’s started moving again! And faster than before!
It recovered that quickly!?
It seems like it’s more powerful now.
It’s developed resistances to our programs.
The Lagou Virus is evolving?
This isn’t a DG Cell. We should be able to do something about it, right?
You can’t punch a computer virus.


[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
This is rough.
I’m so frustrated! Isn’t there anything we can do?
Not at the moment. All we can do is rest for our turn.
How can you be so cold?
But he’s right.
Hey Witz, Roybea, how does this look?
I like what I see.
What’s that?
It’s an upgrade plan for Airmaster and Leopard.
The enemies have been getting stronger lately.
This should give our Gundams a big power boost.
The problem is sourcing the materials. I used a lot of what we had when making the GX Divider.
Don’t leave us hanging, man.
Not to worry, I’ve already arranged for more supplies. They should arrive in a few days or so.
I guess I can wait.


[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
I can only really think of one solution.
What is it? If there might be a way, we should go for it.
It won’t be easy though.
We need to analyze the original data to create the perfect vaccine.
All we really need is a sample from Lagou.
If you had that, you could make the vaccine right away.
But Lagou is in the Spiral Castle on the Moon, not anywhere near here!
Of course the key item we need isn’t here.
If we had even a part of its body…
Chief, let’s go to the Moon!
You want to invade the enemy’s base?
Yeah. We have to go to the Moon!
We need this data, so we have to go get it.
The easiest solutions are often the simplest.
But attacking the enemy’s base without being properly prepared is asking for trouble.
We’re not going to destroy the Spiral Castle or anything.
All we need to do is beat up Lagou and collect a limb or something, right?
There’s tremendous risks involved.
They’re our friends! Sure we can’t really talk, but we trust each other!
Leo and Unicorn are our partners. I refuse to give up like this!
Well said. You’re becoming more of a man.
It’ll work out if we all go together.
That’s just the way it is!
Chief, give us permission to launch!
We can’t use Nadesico. We need Omoikane to stop the Virus’ infection.
And the Freeden can’t go into space.
What? So we can’t go up there?
If that's the case, Dendoh will go alone!
We’ll join you. Voltes can function just fine in space.
Daitarn too.
I’ll accompany you.
Vega…
Just as they said, Leo and Unicorn are irreplaceable. Not only for them, but for Earth. No, the universe.
Okay. I’ll get in contact with Bright. This is short notice, so I don’t know if they’ll be able to help.
Prepare to deploy immediately!
Hey, can’t we attach a rocket to an Aesti to get it to space?
Abso-fucking-lutely not! What are you thinking!?
…We’re sending them into another tough battle…
I’ll protect Dendoh and the kids. Don’t worry.


[Spiral Castle, Command Room]
[Explosion]
Whoa!
Lagou, just shut the hell up!
Stop it. He’s the Emperor’s pet.
But Absolute!!
[Explosion]
Whoa!
No! Lagou escaped!
He’s heading towards Earth!
Stop Lagou! We can’t let it fight!


[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
[Alarm]
Commander, a flying object is approaching from the Moon. It’s Lagou!
Yee haw! Perfect timin’.
If it stayed put, it would have killed Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle. Why do this?
Lagou must not be a normal Galfa soldier.
I agree. Looking at the past battles against it, even they seem to have trouble keeping it in check.
It probably doesn’t even have a plan and is acting on pure instinct.
In that case, its target is probably another Data Weapon.
Regardless, this means God hasn’t abandoned us yet.
The Lagou Virus is getting more active! It’s breaking through our defenses at incredible speed!
The vaccines can’t keep up!
Deploy THE BOYS immediately! Bring back any piece of Lagou at all costs!
Omoikane is too busy focusing on the Virus, so Nadesico can’t be deployed.
Any Aestis going out there need to be prepared with plenty of energy!
Let’s go. Dendoh, launch!


Chapter 19: Resurrected Life






Deploy 13 units. There’s no Nadesico, so don’t deploy any Aestis. I…forgot about this part the first time and had to reset (as seen in the video). Dendoh is a forced deployment.

The Virus has invaded the main program! It’s going faster!
The fifth defense program has been broken through. Activating the sixth program…
The sixth program is eight times stronger, right? It should hold out…
The sixth program has been breached! The seventh program is activating!
Ruriruri’s special vaccine version 5.5 isn’t working. It won’t stop!
It’s too fast. Did you program it properly?
Omoikane and I spent the whole night making it…
At this rate of infection, factoring in the remaining defense programs… We have five minutes left. No, four minutes left until the point of no return!
It’s as you’ve heard. Do whatever you can to take down Lagou in four minutes. Kill it if you have to!
Yeah. Leave it to me!

Dragon, no. If you come out now, you’ll get infected too.
Boar, just hold on!

Defeat Lagou within four minutes!


Just try it!
I won’t let you lay a finger on Lagou!
We’ll be your opponents!
The three generals of the Spiral Castle!?
So all the Galfa executives are here at once!
Just in time. I’ll blow them all away.


Well, you heard them. Head towards the center of the map and rush down Lagou. The forest does make for some decent terrain and it’s as good a place as any to turtle up.

At the start of turn 2…


A communication at a time like this!?
This feeling… Char!?


Super Robot Wars R - Mobile Suit Combat
Wow, what a flashy mobile suit!
THE BOYS, can you hear me? This is Quattro Bajeena. I’m here to provide support!
(Cha- I mean Quattro Bajeena)
Captain Quattro!?
Quattro Bajeena… From HQ?
Yeah. I’ve brought the supplies with me. Also as of today, I’m joining THE BOYS.
Captain Quattro, I’ll give you the details later. We need you to help us fight right now.
Okay. Let’s get to work.
Another human? There’s really too many of them.
It doesn’t matter how many earthlings are here!

Oh boy.


[MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki]
More like the Hyaku Shitty. Its only redeeming feature is a MAP attack that costs too much will to use. It’s the epitome of mediocre. It doesn’t even have its canon anti-beam coating! If you want to invest in it, then go ahead. On the other hand, Quattro is a great mobile suit pilot. If only the UC mobile suit selection was a bit better at this time…

At the start of the third turn, you get a reminder.

Matrix erosion at 70%!
Everyone, please hurry!


Here are the Galfa jobber. Sorry, I mean generals. Absolute, Gourmet, and Witter in order. They don’t retreat at low HP at the very least.

Dendoh, I will defeat you and present your body to our lord!
Move! You’re in our way!

Now that Altair is gone, we’ll defeat you!
Get out of our way!

Dendoh, now we finally get to meet face to face.
You’re not our opponent! The Virus is!

I swear I’ll get the data!
Yeah, we’re not going to let them die here!
(This is vs Lagou)


So much like at the start of the Ra Cailum route, you can actually fail the objective here. The plot will continue if you don’t defeat Lagou by the start of turn 5, but who wants to settle for that?


Ah, Lagou!
How dare you do that to His Majesty’s favorite pet… I will never forgive you!
Damn you… Since you killed Lagou, we have no choice but to kill you in turn!
Hurry, we need to deliver Lagou’s body parts!


Everyone, please hurry it up with the vaccine!
Omoikane, increase priority to this analysis.
ANALYSIS IS TOP PRIORITY. CALCULATING. CALCULATING. CALCULATING. CALCULATIONS COMPLETE.
Hurry, the vaccine!
Starting the vaccine program!


Unicorn…
Leo…

I’ll quickly put in the fail cutscene.

quote:

Oh no. It’s too late.
Matrix erosion… 100%...


Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle…
They’re disappearing…
They’re…gone…
Noooooooo!
Wait, we didn’t make it in time…?
Dammit! LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
UNICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!


Both outcomes continue here.


Super Robot Wars R - Pulse of the Shining Sword
W-what?
What’s happening?
This light…
Resurrecting Life… Along with a new power…
(???)

quote:

A new power…

What’s that!?
Could it be…?

quote:

Leo?
The Data Weapons…
They’re revived…



Leo!

Unicorn!

You did it. They’re completely healed!
WE DID GOOD.
You did it! V!

quote:

We didn’t make it in time, so how!?

The Hyper Beastking is coming… Call his name… Kiba…
Call his name?
The Hyper Beastking?
You who embody “trust” and “courage” in your hearts. Call the King’s name… Together, they form “friendship”.
HYPER BEASTKING!
KIBA!!




Unicorn Drill!
Leo Circle!
They’ve combined!?
That’s a new…Data Weapon!?

(Kiba)

quote:

!!!!!!!!!!

(Kiba will attack Lagou here if it’s still alive.)




Huh? You want us to Install you?
Kiba Drive!
Install!




Here we go again.
They sure are stubborn
UWOOOOOOOO!
LET’S GO!
(If Lagou is still alive, Dendoh will attack and kill it in an event)


[GEAR Fighter Dendoh Kiba]
This will probably be your main Dendoh for until the very end of the game. It has great energy efficiency and a 9 range attack. Dragon Flare might be better for defense, but Kiba is king for offense.

It’s a shame Dendoh is all the way in the southeast. Move him back up to rejoin the fight. The additional enemies won’t pose any threat really.

Dendoh also has revised boss dialog with the three Galfa generals if they haven’t clashed yet.

Dendoh, I will defeat you and present your body to our lord!
Just try it!

Now that Altair is gone, we’ll defeat you!
Who the heck do you think you are? You’ve hurt our friends. We’ll never forgive you!

Dendoh, now we finally get to meet face to face.
Don’t underestimate us!


The generals also retreat at 30% HP (Absolute at 5400, Gourmet at 6000, and Witter at 5700).

You caught me off guard. I give up.

Damn you THE BOYS. I’ll remember this!

Grrr. I can’t believe they’ve leveled up this much…

The map ends when all enemies are defeated


I’m so glad they’re safe. I don’t know what happened, but thank god it did.
Let’s go back to base. I’ll meet you there. Eris must be worried sick.


[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Thanks to you, Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle are all better now. Thank you.
No, it’s thanks to you all. I can’t thank you enough.
We’re only doing what’s expected of us.
But now there’s a new mystery.

quote:

I’m glad you’re safe, but a new mystery has arisen. The new Data Weapon.

I never heard about a Data Weapon named Kiba before.
Has anything changed with Unicorn and Leo since then?
I’ve found new data blocks in both of them, but I have no idea what they are.
So what was that anyway? Back when Kiba was born.
It sounded like a girl.
I have no idea…
That voice seemed to come from inside Dendoh.
Yeah, that’s what it felt like.
We found no clues inside Dendoh. Nothing’s changed to its internals.
I remember seeing her back when I first got into the robot.
She looked like a girl with fluffy green hair, and about our age.
She was really cute too.
You saw her when you were chosen as Dendoh’s pilots?
Weren’t the Vice Commander and Kirakuni piloting Dendoh before you were chosen?
Kirakuni, didn’t you see anything when you piloted it?
Nothing. What about you, Vice Commander?
No… I didn’t see anyone.
That’s a problem to figure out in the future. Anyway, this is a bit late but let me introduce you. This is Captain Quattro Bajeena. He’s joining THE BOYS as of today.
I’m looking forward to working with you.
(...Char…)
Wow! He’s so cool and handsome and dreamy!
He’s brought plenty of supplies too. With this, we can give the Leopard and Airmaster some much needed upgrades.
(The rest of this scene is only if you chose the Ra Cailum route at the start of the game.)
Quattro Bajeena… I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before…
(He’s actually Char Aznable. Future Amuro said that when he fought for the Feds, he went by the name Quattro.)
Ahhh…
Captain, I thought you became a politician.
The situation isn’t that dire right now that I have to take center stage.

What’s wrong, Tiffa?
…Hey you! If only you didn’t do that!
What are you doing! Stop it!
This bastard is trying to destroy the Earth! GUH!
…I don’t know what you’re talking about, but just be quiet right now…
What the heck was that about?
I don’t know. Raul suddenly tried to punch Captain Quattro.
Who’s he? He acts like we’ve met before, but I don’t remember anyone like him.

Ask him later. He’s unconscious.
Even if you don’t remember him, don’t you have too many enemies anyway?
…Perhaps.

quote:

(Quattro Bajeena… Oh yeah. That’s the name Char had when he was with the Federation.)
(So he’s the same guy that will drop Fifth Luna and Axis in the future?)
(…I wonder if he was planning all that at this point.)
(Who knows. It’s too dangerous to interfere with history any more than we already are…)


This next scene is only if you play as Raul and choose the Ra Cailum route at the start of the game.


[GEAR HQ, Brig]

Dude, he hasn’t dropped Fifth Luna or Axis yet.
I know how you feel, but…
Is he awake yet?
I’ve brought you some hot towels.
Thank you…
But what was that about?
Did he do something bad in the future you’re from?

Well, it doesn’t matter. But you better come up with a good excuse.

No more route exclusive scenes for the rest of the chapter.


[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Aaaaaand done! The Airmaster and Leopard are fully upgraded!
Looks amazing. My Airmaster is now reborn!
I’m calling it the Gundam Airmaster Burst.
Nice job. You even changed the paint job.
I’ve been workshopping this idea for a while now, but was finally able to make it thanks to Captain Quattro’s supplies.
Even the Leopard won’t fall behind now. What do you think of this heavy equipment?
Very impressive. It’s like a walking armory.
I call it the Gundam Leopard Destroy. With this firepower, we'll be safe no matter what comes our way.
…It kinda reminds me of the Heavyarms.
Heavyarms?
Yeah. I know of another Gundam with the same design concept.
(Come to think of it, I wonder what Trowa is up to now…)


[Colony X-18999, Spaceport]
In the end, we couldn’t come to an agreement with Neo Zeon…
Lady Relena, please don’t be so disheartened. It might not have worked out now, but in the future…
The longer we take, the more casualties there will be…
Even Spacenoids don’t like war.

Who’s there?
[Punching sounds]
GAAAH!
You!?
Come with me, Relena Darlian.
(Trowa Barton)


[Preventer HQ]
…Lady Relena has gone missing.
Could it be Neo Zeon?
(The President is on the phone)
We don’t have any proof, but I think that’s the case.
Why couldn’t you have prevented this from happening?
I reported this to you the other day.
I saw the report. But I’m funding this operation of yours to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the first place.
I understand… Right now, we’re doing everything in our power to carry out a recapture operation.
You better. We’re having enough trouble with the aliens. We need you to do better than your best.
…So you say, but we should have hired Captain Quattro. …Who goes there!?
Excuse me.
It’s you!
I’d like you to give me a codename.
You want to work for the Preventers?
Yes… I’d like to call myself Wind, the force that puts out fires.


[GEAR HQ, Research Lab]
You’re still working on that, Eris?
Yes. Something still doesn’t sit right with me.
You mean when Kiba first appeared?
That’s right. I’ve been thinking lately that if we collect all the Data Weapons, something might happen.
All of them?
This is just a theory, but I think there’s some sort of seal in Dendoh or Ogre that can only be broken when all six Data Weapons are in one place.
So they’re the key to something?
Otherwise Galfa wouldn’t want them so badly.
They’ve stopped attacking us except when Data Weapons are involved.
I mean Data Weapons are powerful, but…
Given Galfa’s persistence, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to it than just their power.


[Spiral Castle, Command Room]
The emperor will be pissed when he finds out about Lagou.
We might be scrapped.
No way! It was Lagou’s fault this happened in the first place.
Right now there’s only one thing we can do. We must defeat Dendoh and get all the Data Weapons. It’ll be useful when we apologize.
You’re right. It’s a blessing in disguise that the Data Weapons didn’t die.
We must get them no matter what!


[GEAR HQ, A Room]
He who obtains all the sacred electron beasts shall become King of the universe…
Is that the legend passed down in Arctus?
Yes. Even though it’s just a legend, Galfa seems to believe it wholeheartedly. They probably think that having all six is proof of being King.
They certainly would be powerful enough.
Even if one person has all six, it won’t automatically make them King. But we can’t let Galfa have that kind of power anyway.
But isn’t Altair working for Galfa? He’s your--
Chief, Altair made his choice. We have to defeat him.
I guess there’s nothing else we can do about that now.
Probably…


[Hoshimicho, Ginga’s Residence]
Seconds, please!
Another? This’ll be your seventh bowl.
It’s that good.
Did something good happen to you?
Pretty much!


[Hoshimicho, Hokuto’s Residence]
Sorry I’m late, Hokuto. I’ll get started on dinner right away.
Thanks. I’m starving.



[GEAR HQ, Research Lab]
…The heck… What does this mean? There’s supposed to be six Data Weapons in total… If we don’t count Kiba… Is there really a seventh one out there!?


[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Quattro, we’ve gotten some new intel.
Since you called me too, I assume it has something to do with Newtypes?
Yes… We’ve found the location of the Newtype Research Institute.
The one that’s funded by Neo Zeon?
The same. It seems they have some Cyber Newtypes being held captive there.
Cyber Newtypes? Is it them?
Four Murasame is there. Elpeo Ple and Ple Two are there too.
Chief!
Permission granted. Once you’re ready, head to the Newtype Research Institute.

If you want to see the Dendoh episode that has Kiba’s introduction, it’s episode 19.
