Last time, Vega got kidnapped. While half of THE BOYS went to do something else, Fiona chose to help rescue her.
[Aldebaran, A Room]
Altair, why are you siding with Galfa? We’ve finally reunited and yet you’re…
…My memories were sealed away. It was His Majesty’s will, purely out of concern for me.
His Majesty!?
The memories of our planet’s final days were too painful and sad. So he thought it would be better for me to have no memories of Arctus.
You think it would be better if I forgot it too?
Yes. But after we reunited, His Majesty couldn’t bear to see me suffer from the memories breaking the seal, so he brought those memories back. It would have been better if you never knew what happened. But thanks to those Earthlings’ deception, you draw your bow on Emperor Galfa. The same man who saved us siblings and is still fighting for peace in the universe.
Altair, that’s a fake memory! It was Galfa who suddenly attacked our planet!
That’s just what they want you to believe. Those humans want to overthrow His Majesty and bring endless chaos to the universe!
Altair…
…This is a waste of time. Even if I tell you the truth, you’ll never go against how you were raised.
Altair, I’m telling the truth!
But it doesn’t matter now. I must capture it at all costs. The seventh Data Weapon will decide all fates depending on who wields it.
There’s a seventh…?
You remember the Arctus legend, yes?
He who obtains all the sacred electron beasts will become King of the universe…
The same. The seventh Data Weapon is the final and greatest key. No matter how many Data Weapons we obtain, without the seventh, a GEAR cannot truly activate. Therefore, we cannot let the seventh fall into their hands no matter what.
What? A seventh… There should only be six Data Weapons in total.
They say the seventh is slightly different from the other six. His Majesty said that you should have a clue to where it is.
I don’t know. And even if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you!
What are you saying!? Why do you keep making this mistake!?
It’s you who’s mistaken. The one being deceived is you!
Vega!
No matter how many times you say it, your memories aren’t true!
Why won’t you believe me!?
There’s nothing to believe. Especially now that I have a loving husband and son on Earth. I have no intention to help you destroy them.
…Right. It’s been 17 years since then. It wouldn’t be strange if you had a child… If he’s your child, then he’s also my nephew. Where is he? I’ll make sure he’s safe.
You’ve met him many times already, brother.
Many times?
My son is a Dendoh pilot, busy protecting the Earth!
W-what!?
…
[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Are the Mazingers’ modifications done yet?
Almost done.
Great and Z only needs minor changes.
Modifying Diana A and Boss Borot is taking longer than expected.
Both of them have practically exposed cockpits.
Pain in the ass. Can’t we just wear space suits?
You’d have to wear one anyway. But there’s way more we have to do.
Ginga, Hokuto, I’ve brought you new battle suits.
A new battle suit… I’m getting used to wearing these, but it’s still embarrassing.
Everytime I wear one, I feel like I’m becoming less and less of a cook…
But it’s essential to protect you.
That’s right. The designs and names are slightly different, but everyone has one.
When you wrestle bulls on our level, you don’t need that sort of outfit.
On Earth it’s fine to wear whatever, but it’s best if you wear it in space battles.
Oh don’t you worry ‘bout little ol’ us.
I believe a battle suit is proof of being a hero. A hero should look the part.
You don’t know how much I agree.
Huh? Don’t you have one for me? That’s a bit unfair.
A battle suit for Boss? We’d have to get it custom made for your body type.
I don’t hate it, but it’s a pain to change into it every time.
That part takes forever.
Exactly. At first I wondered why we had to bother with wearing one every time.
I wish you could be like us. It automatically gets put on us when we start our Gundams.
If changing clothes is that much of a hassle, why don’t you ask Tetsuya to teach you his trick? He’s a master at changing.
Yeah. One moment you enter a room wearing your battle suit, the next you’re walking out of it in normal clothes.
It’s just natural for me. I’m sure you all have gotten faster at changing compared to when you first started.
Yea, well, it’s still a pain to change clothes every time we go on a mission.
There you are. Ginga, Hokuto, come over here for a second. I want to show you something.
What do you want to show us?
Ever since the Lagou thing, I have been wondering about the true nature of Data Weapons. So I’ve been putting this together over time.
What is it?
Weapons for Dendoh.
Wow!
So cool! These are Dendoh’s new weapons!?
Missiles, beams, swords, yo-yos. Luckily we got help from every research lab.
That’s amazing.
Even if the Data Weapons are gone, will this really work?
Is there a Super Dendoh Spin or Dendoh Sun Attack?
We can’t go that far.
Equipped with these, Dendoh will be reborn!
I guess you could call it “Full Armor Dendoh”.
Full Armor Dendoh, eh?
We’re splitting our forces, so we need every tool we can.
You’re right. You don’t want to fight while having any regrets.
…Regrets…
Huh? Ginga, where are you going?
I’ll be right back!
[Hoshimicho, Ginga’s Residence]
Welcome back, Gin. You’re home early toda-- What’s with that outfit?
It’s Dendoh’s battle suit.
Battle suit? You’re…
Mom… I’m going to space. I’m going to destroy the Galfa.
Going to space… Then…
Mom, I’m… I’m actually Dendoh’s…
Ginga…
…Mom…
I knew. I knew the whole time!!
Mom…
But you never told me. You had to hide it. But I knew you’d tell me someday! I’m happy for you, Ginga. I’m truly happy for you.
Mom…
Go. Come back undefeated and victorious.
Okay! I’m off!
Do you remember what I told you?
Power comes from the heart! Right?
Don’t ever forget that. The minute you start thinking you’re going to lose, that’s the moment you actually lose.
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
Both Neo Zeon, who's planning a colony drop, and Galfa are tough opponents. I don’t know if we can win with our forces split like this.
Don’t worry. We’ll win.
That’s right. Just complaining about it won’t make us any stronger.
It’s easier to just do it than worry if you can. As long as we can fight, we can win.
Yeah. Just hit our opponents with our soul’s fist.
I’ve entrusted the fate of the Earth to you. Deploy THE BOYS!
[Aldebaran, A Room]
You’re wasting your time. I and everyone else on the planet will never bow before Galfa.
Is my only hope relying on His Majesty’s power to correct your memories? Vega…
Brother, Galfa cannot bring back those halcyon days.
The humans won’t do that either… Humans are terrifying destroyers who will bring chaos to the entire universe… That’s why peace will never come until Emperor Galfa rules everything.
…
It’s the same as all of my battles up to now. I wish for peace, but can only fight using Ogre. This is my limit as a person.
Brother, I believe in the true power that humans possess.
Enough! I will destroy everything that’s brought us to this fate!
(...Hokuto…)
[Spiral Castle, A Room]
Lord Altair has obtained all the Data Weapons…
My lord, if things continue like this, we’ll all be executed by His Majesty.
Damn you Altair… And that little girl Tis too.
My lord, if this is our fate, we have only one way to survive.
Hmmm…
[Hoshimicho, City]
So how’ll we find the real pilot among all these meat bags?
It’s too hard.
But we’ll do it anyway.
…!?
What’s wrong?
I’m leaving. I’m being ordered to go back to my main body!
I’ve been ordered to return too.
Same!
[Nadesico, Bridge]
Then I’ll leave it to you to stop the colony drop.
Okay. I’ll leave it to you to defeat Galfa.
Yeah. Jamil can bring you up to date on Neo Zeon’s activities on Earth.
[Aldebaran, Bridge]
Altair is a man after all. Your greatest weakness is your sister.
I’m not that weak… I just want to avoid the worst case scenario. But more importantly, why are you here?
THE BOYS are about to attack us.
Just in time. I’ll put to rest all the humans who tormented Vega!
[Nadesico, Bridge]
Spaceship spotted in lunar orbit. No ID code.
The enemy?
All hands, battle stations!
It’s finally time.
Vega Route Chapter 22: In Flames
Let’s go, Hokuto!
Yes. Full Armor Dendoh, launch!!
Kirakuni, do your best.
Leave it to me, Aiko. Cell Booster, launch!
Super Robot Wars MX - Over the Rainbow
Deploy 13 units. FA Dendoh and Cell Booster are mandatory. If you want to use Aestis, make sure they’re either in their 0G or Artillery forms with a Space Module. You also get the Cosmodriver Frame for the Excellence if you want to use that over the Gunner Frame, but the Gunner has A in space so it’s up to preference.
Dendoh, are you rushing to your death!?
Shall I join too? Or maybe I’ll get Gaizok to help.
There’s no need for that. I can handle a weakened THE BOYS myself.
There they are. I’m sure there’s more of them waiting too!
Let’s go!!
Kidnapping a mother is an awful thing to do!
Prepare yourself!
Machine Beasts, take them out!
We got two new units, but I regret to inform you that the cooler one is for this stage only.
[Full Armor Dendoh]
It’s so cool, but unlike SRW MX, it’s only usable for part of this stage. There’s no way to use it later, so enjoy it while you can. Stats-wise, it’s alright, but it has so many different weapons to play with. It has Xabungle’s missile launchers and cannon, Gundam’s beam rifle, Combattler’s yo-yos, Voltes’ sword, Getter’s tomahawks, and Raideen’s bow. Shame it’s not permanent.
[Cell Booster]
It’s just the Cell Fighter but usable in space. Has higher stats and more weapons, but the same resupply and battery utility.
Start moving to the north-west. There’s just the normal Galfa grunts so they’ll go down very easily.
When there are 8 or less enemies remaining, the plot continues.
What are you doing? How can Dendoh fight without any Data Weapons!?
A cornered prey is terrifying.
I see. I’ve underestimated them. However!
Here comes Ogre.
I’ll praise you for your courage in coming this far! But do you really think you can beat me like that?
It’s you! Give me back my mom!
I see, you must be one of Dendoh’s pilots. Vega’s son.
Yes! Even if you’re my uncle, I’ll never forgive you.
Even if you’re my nephew, if you fight for the Earthlings, you’re an enemy that must be defeated. This farce is over, Dendoh. Let’s go!
Come!
Go, Data Weapons! Destroy Dendoh!
What!?
The Data Weapons!?
Unicorn! Dragon!
Leo! Boar!
Waaaaah!
Guuuuuh!
No! Hokuto! Ginga!
Fufufu. Go! Unicorn Drill! Leo Circle!
Stop it! Stop it, Unicorn!
…
(Dendoh is left at 10 HP)
Leo… You idiot!
…
All of Full Armor Dendoh’s weapons are destroyed or unusable!!
Can’t we do something?
If we could, we would have done it by now!
The finishing blow! Become Kiba! Unicorn Drill!! Leo Circle!!
Kiba!?
…Dang it… I won’t lose. I’ll never lose again!
…
…
…What’s wrong? Why aren’t you fusing? Why won’t you attack Dendoh!?
Unicorn…
…
Leo…
…
So you do understand us…
Leo… You dummy…
What’s this? What’s happening?
The contract has been terminated.
What!?
What those two seek is trust and courage. You have no faith in people and no courage to face difficulties on your own. That’s why those two terminated the contract and went to their true masters.
Oh dear.
Hokuto! Ginga! File Save!!
Unicorn Drill, File Save!
Leo Circle, File Save!
[Dendoh restores full HP]
No! Since it’s come to this, I’ll deliver the finishing blow myself. Dragon Flare, Gatling Boar, return!
Aren’t they coming back to us too?
They won’t. Altair has love for his sister and a heart that wants to create a peaceful world. Their contracts won’t be broken so easily.
Let’s go, Dendoh!
Dendoh has Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle, and thus Kiba, back. It’s a shame that Full Armor Dendoh only lasted pretty much three or so turns. Kick Altair’s ass. He’s not running away at low HP this time.
Ugh. How could I…
Brother!
Kuh…
My mom’s in that thing!
Enemy reinforcements.
Good. Let’s help Altair defeat Dendoh!
Oh dear. You came here without permission.
That’s… The Spiral Castle!
You know, anything can happen on a battlefield.
Exactly. In the end, this’ll be seen as a small mistake!
A mistake…!?
FIRE!
[Explosion on the Alderbaran]
Waaaah!
Kyaaaa!
Screw you, Altair. You’ve kept making a fool of us for so long.
Let’s destroy the Aldebaran too.
I see, so this is what they call a mistake, Lord--!
(What did she say? I couldn’t hear her.)
What’s up with those losers? Are they attacking their ally?
W-what’s going on?
I don’t know. Did they have a falling out!?
This is bad! My mom’s in there!
There’s no other way. We’ll provide cover. Dendoh, go save Vega!
Huh?
Go into that spaceship!
Hurry!
Let’s go, Hokuto!
Okay!
The objective is for Dendoh to reach the Alderbaran. If it’s destroyed, it’s game over. Or you can defeat all enemies to achieve the same result. I’m opting for the latter, since the generals won’t run away.
Dendoh, perish alongside Ogre!
Isn’t Ogre your ally!?
Get out of the way! My mom’s in there!
Then perish along with her, Dendoh!
What the hell are you thinking? Isn’t Ogre your ally!?
He’s just a useful meatbag.
The map ends with either of those conditions.
Good, the enemies have been taken care of.
Dendoh, hurry to the enemy battleship. Rescue the Vice Commander!
Okay!
Both of you, do your best.
quote:
Dendoh has entered the enemy battleship.
Both of you, do your best.
Altair’s death will be reported to the homeworld as a noble sacrifice.
If we don’t defeat Dendoh, our empire is in danger. Fire at will!
Damn you, Dendoh! I won’t let you invade like this!
[Spiral Castle, Command Room]
Do you think that saved you, Altair? Do you think you’ve won, Dendoh?
My lord, we couldn’t finish them off. I’m sorry.
You utter buffoons! But with that much damage the Alderbaran’s taken, it’s only a matter of time until it explodes.
[Alderbaran, Hallway]
Mom! Where are you, Mom!?
[Explosions]
Dang, this ship’s on fire!
quote:
You really don’t care if your allies are inside?
(If there are still enemies outside)
[Alderbaran, Bridge]
Vega! Vega, where are you?
Help me… Brother, help me.
Ugh. AHHHHHHHH…
Brother!?
…It’s burning. Everyone is burning… AAAAHHHHHHH.
Was it really that bad?
You’re right… You’re right about His Majesty… Aaaaah… AAAAAHHHHH!
I… I…
Altair…
Aw beans, everything’s falling apart. Guess Galfa’s mind control technique isn’t that great after all.
Kyaaaaa!
Vega!
VEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
[Alderbaran, Hallway]
[Explosion]
Hokuto, hurry up. We’re out of time!
You’re looking for the bridge. It’s over there.
Ah, it’s you!
Tis!
Hurry up.
How can we trust you!?
…Why are you helping us?
I just don’t like it when people make mistakes and mess up my plans.
I dunno…
Just go. I’m getting out of here.
Wait. Hey!
Ginga, c’mon!
R-right…
[Alderbaran, Bridge]
Are you alright, Vega?
Brother…
I have no right to be called that…
Brother, your memory…
[Explosion]
Is that Dendoh!?
Hokuto! Ginga!!
Mom!
That guy… That mask…
So that’s Vega’s son…
