Video of this chapter
Last time, the Dinosaurs and the Boazans were defeated and Master Asia was cured.
[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Rain, is it finished?
Yes it is.
Is that the Master Gundam?
How’s it look, Domon? Now I can fight too.
The original Master Gundam was the Kowloon Gundam transformed by DG Cells, right?
This one is recreated without any DG Cells. It might not have as much power as the original because of it.
Yeah…
Don’t worry about it. I’ll make up for any loss of power with my martial arts techniques.
Alright alright alright.
What’s that? It’s huge.
I heard it’s an upgrade for the Nadesico.
Could this really be…
Do you recognize it?
It’s probably a control system that converts the Phase Transition Engine’s energy into a weapon.
That it is. This Y-Unit will be installed on the Nadesico.
Well, it was originally going to be installed on a different ship, but things happened and now it’s re-adjusted for the Nadesico.
If something’s getting an upgrade, shouldn’t it be the Aestis rather than the Nadesico?
It’ll take a little longer, but they’re working on it.
If it’s being repurposed as a weapon, does that mean the ship will have a new attack?
Yup. The Phase Transition Cannon uses Phase Transition energy.
Wow! Bright, are there any new weapons for the Nahel Argama?
There’s no plans for anything like that. Unlike Nergal’s battleships, the Nahel is more of a mobile suit transport ship.
Even so, the Nahel Argama isn’t lacking in firepower.
Speaking of which, Mizuho, how did you know what this was? It’s supposed to be top secret, even within Nergal…
Um…
Any information is bound to leak.
I see. If that’s the case, then that’ll be a problem. I’ll ask HQ to tighten its information security.
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
Are you serious about this?
Yes. It’s Nergal’s decision. It won’t cause any trouble for GEAR, we just want to use the amusement park above us as a venue.
What’re you talking about?
Oh perfect. There’s something we’d like your cooperation with, Captain Bright.
Cooperation? Is it something to do with the Nadesico’s upgrade?
Yes. In fact, along with this upgrade, we’ve decided to choose a new Captain.
Is there a problem with Captain Misumaru?
I think she’s doing a great job.
Of course she’s still in the running for Captain, but we’ll be looking at other candidates as well.
So you’re asking me to choose a new Captain…
You don’t need to take this so seriously. I just want you to be a special judge.
A judge?
Bright, you see…
We’re calling it the “Nadesico, Now Known as Y-Nadesico, New Captain Selection! The Miss Nadesico Contest”!!
…What.
[GEAR HQ, Hallway]
The hell… “The winner of this contest will become the Captain of the Y-Nadesico”. What bullcrap is this?
Wait… Are they going to choose the new Captain with a beauty contest? That’s idiotic!
Does wearing a swimsuit have something to do with a Captain’s abilities?
Hey, what should we do? Should we go and watch?
I promised my dad that we’d go see a soccer match that day.
Sounds nice. My dad travels around the world non-stop.
So you don’t get to see him very often. Aren’t you lonely?
Only when he comes back home.
What do you mean?
Well, when he returns home, he’s fully immersed in whatever the culture and customs are from wherever he was.
I remember he was crazy about France the last time he came back to Japan.
At least it was France. When he was reporting on the Principality of Zeon, he came back shouting “Sieg Zeon!”.
Hey hey, does that mean anyone can participate?
No. It says that participation is limited to only Nadesico crew members.
Oh, so it’s an internal Nadesico event.
What a shame. I’d win if I participated.
As if. I’m sure I can beat you with my feminine charm.
Ha. Shall we have our own contest?
Interesting. I’ll take you on.
…This is so stupid. Are all Earthlings like this?
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
So the special judges will be Captain Bright, Jamil, Colonel Jin, and Vice Commander Vega.
Can I ask a question?
Go ahead.
Does Nergal always choose its Captains like this?
No, this is the first time. But if this turns out well, I’m sure it’ll become the standard.
I don’t think this is an appropriate way to measure a Captain’s abilities.
Are you sure about this, Captain Misumaru? I wouldn’t want to be let go like this.
I’d be lying if I said I was OK with this, but I’m participating too so I just gotta win.
Answering Jamil’s concern, that’s not an issue.
In this modern age where battles are mechanically systemized, the decision of a single ship’s Captain doesn’t have the power to determine the outcome of a battle.
In other words, in this day and age, there’s no need for a Captain really. At least in terms of operational or decision-making ability.
So you’re saying…
It doesn’t matter who it is.
!!!
I feel insulted.
No, no. It’s not an insult. I can only say this because the Nadesico is equipped with an extremely advanced computer like Omoikane. Captains are far more important in ships like the Nahel Argama.
The Captain of the Nadesico has another role to play. They need to raise the crew’s morale and make them think “I’d die for my Captain”.
That’s not a good follow-up!
That’s stupid. By that logic, it would be ideal for all crew members to become members of the Captain’s fan club.
That would be ideal, yes.
…So that’s why I was chosen as the first Captain…
Being a Captain isn’t a popularity contest!
Look at reality. If you ask the young people who they would rather die for between you and Yurika, they’d choose Yurika every time.
That’s not what I’m talking about!
[Meganoid Base, Command Room]
…The Miss Nadesico contest to select a new Captain… How quant.
We’ll prepare to launch immediately.
Wait. We need to plan our strategy carefully. I don’t want to make the same mistake as I did with Beltori.
Fufufu. Zenoia, I, Commander Nendol, will lend you my strength.
(Nendol)
Commander Nendol, the Meganoid’s greatest master of disguise, right? Alright, I’m counting on you.
Leave it to me.
[Amusement Park, Contest Venue]
The “Nadesico, Now Known as Y-Nadesico, New Captain Selection! The Miss Nadesico Contest” has finally begun!
I, Aiko Asano, and Susumu Kirakuni, will be your hosts!
Now, let’s introduce the contestants who’ve made it through the rigorous preliminaries!
[Hoshimicho, City]
Zero, what’re they doing?
It seems to be a selection test to decide the next Captain of a battleship.
Is it necessary to do something like that to decide on a battleship Captain?
No. I don’t think so.
Is that really an ability needed for a Captain?
…Sometimes I just don’t understand humans.
I don’t either…
Lord Subaru, where are you going?
I’m gonna walk around town by myself for a bit. I should know a little about the people I’m fighting.
There’s no need for that. Just think of this like getting rid of pests that infest plants. There’s no need for you to know anything about those pests.
But those pests took Altair and Ogre from me… That damn Hokuto Kusanagi…
This next scene is Raul only.
[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
Hey, why don’t we take a break?
…Don’t you want to go see the contest? Even Uribatake went.
I wanted to go with you. It’s a Captain selection, so maybe they’ll do something special.
From what I saw, it’s really more of a beauty pageant.
Probably…
Do men really like beauty pageants?
I prefer festivals myself.
You like lively places, don’t you?
Maybe it’s a reaction to being on Saturn for a long time. I get happy just being around a lot of people.
Raji seems to prefer quiet places.
You think so? He’s actually quite a lonely person.
Is that right?
When everyone is having fun, you don’t join in, but you don’t leave the room either. It’s something like that.
I can kinda understand that.
The next few scenes are Fiona only. It’ll be easier to read it that way. Anything in the quotes will be Raul’s route until said otherwise.
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
It’s started.
You’d never think that these guys are the ones protecting the Earth.
They’re certainly skilled, but…
…Hey, where’s Raji?
Isn’t he at the contest venue?
He’s a guy after all.
I thought he wouldn’t be interested in this sort of thing.
That's just something a childhood friend would say.
That’s not what I meant!
Raji put in a travel request.
A travel request?
I saw him looking at a map earlier, so I think it’s somewhere pretty far.
[GEAR HQ, A Room]
Where did you go without telling me? Don’t tell me it’s the Saotome Lab again… Wait, there’s something on his calendar… What’s today again… Ah!
[GEAR HQ, Hangar]
What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?
Sorry! I’m going to use the Flyer Frame for a bit.
You’re going out?
Command room, I’m launching in the Excellence!
Hey, where are you going?
I’ll be right back. Please open the hatch.
Ah well. Use Ogre’s launch point. Be careful to not be seen by the enemy.
Thank you! Excellence Flyer, standby OK… GO!
[Amusement Park, Contest Venue]
Now finally, the moment you and your eyes have been waiting for!
It’s time for the swimsuit contest!
quote:
So there is a swimsuit contest after all.
It’s a given.
Do all men like those kinds of swimsuits?
I guess it’s different for each person.
Even if we like different swimsuits, we all have the one we’d want to see the most.
Huh?
We want to see the girl we like the most in a swimsuit.
You’re right about that.
…I just can't make the connection between the Captain position and a swimsuit contest…
The pamphlet says “We judge your self-control ability from your proportions and how well you can impress others from your swimsuit and poses”.
Even if you tell me to choose one… Whoa!
Contestant number 5, please stop shaking your butt at the judges.
We’re not the kinds of people who’d change our minds over something like that.
T-this is… To go that far…
Big bro, wake up already. All women on Earth are like that!
…I pray Mirai doesn’t see me here…
Next up is entry number 6, Izumi Maki.
Number 6, Izumi Maki… Gonna recite my heart sutra... 'Prajna--'... more like pray'n'a Buddha for abs like these
quote:
…That’s pretty funny.
But whoever wins will be in charge of everyone onboard the Nadesico.
Depending on who wins, it might be best to move all of our work onto the Nahel Argama…
[Cemetery]
(The Cemetery is somewhere around Kyoto.)
…
…I’m sure it’s hard to believe all that coming from an adult…
So you were here after all.
…Fiona.
Today’s the anniversary of your mom’s death…
12 years ago, my mom died…and we left for Saturn.
When we came back, this whole area was in ruins from all the bombings. We couldn’t even find her grave.
Yeah. That’s why I wanted to visit before it all got bombed.
Why didn’t you invite me here?
Well…
I don’t have many memories of your mom, but… I remember your face at her funeral. All the crying…
…
Say something already! You always shut up as soon as things get a little awkward.
I finally remembered.
Remember what?
The reason our dads tried to build a time machine… It was all my fault…
After mom died, I asked dad to take me to where she was.
That’s…
Looking back, it was just a childish tantrum… But he took me seriously…
So the time machine was for…
Normal parents would think of the afterlife if given the same stupid request… Dad thought of taking me to a time where she was still alive. He’s a goddamn fool… and your dad went along with it…
Raji…
I’m a bigger fool… I forgot about that and kept denying time travel after he died… Maybe this time slip was dad’s revenge for all that.
…
What’s wrong?
Are you in a hurry to go back to GEAR?
Not really…
In that case, come with me for a bit. I saw an amazing waterfall on the way here.
A waterfall? There’s none of those on the Moon or in the colonies.
We’re still on Earth, so we’d be missing out if we don’t see places like that.
Okay… Let’s go see it together.
[Amusement Park, Contest Venue]
Sorry to keep you waiting! The final results of the contest are out.
Time to announce it! The winner is…
Ruri Hoshino!
R-Ruri!? Seriously, how did that happen?
…
Now for the award ceremony. Ruri, please come forward.
Good grief. It’s finally over.
Nendol, that’s the winner. Don’t mess this up.
Leave it to me. You’re counting on me after all.
Yes.
[Amusement Park, A Room]
…I lost.
That’s a shame, Yurika.
Akito, what should I do now? If I get booted from the Nadesico…
If that happens, I’ll leave the ship too.
Eh?
We’ll quit THE BOYS and live together.
Akito, really!?
Yeah… I love you.
Akito!! I’m so happy!!
(...That was so easy…)
[Punching sound]
Ugh!
Keep this woman locked up. I’ll turn her into a Meganoid later.
Next up… You know what to do, right?
Yes. Next I’ll disguise myself as this woman.
There. It’ll be easy as the former Captain.
I’ll leave it to you, Commander Nendol.
[Y-Nadesico, Bridge]
I’m actually the captain…
What’s wrong, Ruri?
Yurika… I know it’s a bit late to question things, but was this really the right call?
Be confident! Everyone agrees that you’re far more suitable to be the Captain than me.
Is that so…
If you keep doubting yourself, I’ll end up being the Captain again.
[Punching sounds]
Ah…
Well, I’d like the real Captain to take a nap for a while…
…
Damn, she’s heavier than she looks… Dammit! I can’t do any heavy lifting while disguised as a woman… Um, who’s someone male…
[Amusement Park, A Room]
…Is that you, Nendol?
Yea. Ruri’s in this bag. I hope the operation is going according to plan.
Yes. So far so good.
Fufufu. Now the Y-Nadesico is all ours.
[Y-Nadesico, Deck]
In about an hour, the new Captain’s appointment ceremony and the unveiling of the Y-Nadesico will begin. Please prepare the crew.
What the hell is this? Why do we have to do midair acrobatics in the Air Combat Frames!?
It’s just a demonstration. Don’t think too much about it.
quote:
Wouldn’t the Flyer Frame be better for this?
It wasn’t made for acrobatics, so it’ll be dangerous.
But isn’t acrobatic flying better than aerial combat?
That’s true. The Excellence might be happier just flying than fighting.
Acrobatics, eh? We had to do that a lot during our intensive training under Professor Sakonji.
It’s impossible for someone who can’t balance their mechs well.
Performing acrobatics is a way for a pilot to show off their skills.
Huh? Did someone order a large package?
No, it wasn’t me. That’s a big one though.
I ordered it… I plan to use it very soon, so please just leave it there.
What’s it for?
It’s a secret.
I got it! It’s a present to celebrate her appointment.
It’s a secret.
(Fufufu…)
Ruri, I can’t find Yurika anywhere. Do you know where she went?
Don’t be rude, Tenkawa. She’s now the Y-Nadesico’s captain, so please treat her with the proper respect.
It’s fine. Ruri or Ruriruri is fine.
If we don’t do it properly, it’ll hinder our organizational structure.
That’s right. THE BOYS, especially the Nadesico, are too pampered.
I can’t imagine Yurika or Captain Ruri doing any “corrections” on us.
That would be frightening.
Where’s Yurika anyway? If you don’t know, then…
Maybe she’s too shocked that she’s no longer the captain?
[Hoshimicho, Warehouse]
Hey, let us out!
There’s no point, Captain. There’s no one around and we’re chained up.
But we have to do something… If we stay like this, who knows what they’ll do to us.
Watching over these guys is so boring.
I’m hungry.
I’m hungry.
I’m hungry.
W-what are you guys doing?
Food!
WAAAAAAH! Stop it! Don’t eat me!!
There’s some kind of commotion outside.
Look! The door lock is broken!
The entire doorknob was pulled out.
I don’t know what’s going on, but the door should open now! Let’s book it, Ruri!
H-help meeeeeee!!
The guards are running away.
Are they running from you guys?
This tastes awful.
This tastes awful.
This tastes awfull.
…They’re eating the door lock.
Huh? What’s up with you guys?
You’re hungry too, right?
We’re not sharing.
Wait, you got something tasty?
Huh? You mean these handcuffs and chains?
It’s all yours.
Don’t mind if I do.
You just devoured these handcuffs and chains… You’re really eating that…
I don’t care. Let’s go.
R-right. Thank you for helping us… I hope you don’t get an upset stomach.
Get out of the way already.
Excuse us.
Huh? Isn’t that woman from the contest earlier…
Who is it this time?
Aren’t you guys Galfa?
Huh?
[???, ???]
Absolute.
…Absolute…
Witter.
…Witter…
Gourmet.
…Gourmet…
Apparently these three are Chips from the Spiral Castle’s three generals.
Hmm. This is the first time I’ve seen a Chip.
Their real bodies were destroyed by THE BOYS, right? So why are only their Chips left?
Huuuuuh?
Whenever I hear “THE BOYS”, it kinda annoys me.
…As you can see, they’ve lost everything, even their own names. We’re not going to get any useful intel from them.
So what should we do with them?
We’ll dispose of them. They’re beyond useless.
Dispose.
Dispose.
Dispose.
Wait! Even without their memories, a Galfa is still a Galfa. I’ll take care of them!
…Very well… If you say so.
Be thankful you guys didn’t end up as scrap.
Thank you, Lord Subaru~
Lord Subaru~
Lord Subaru~
[Y-Nadesico, Bridge]
I’m ready…
We’re also ready. Let’s begin.
(She’s on the phone)
…Omoikane, launch the Y-Nadesico.
[Y-Nadesico, Deck]
W-what the heck!? I didn’t hear anything about us launching.
What’s going on in the bridge!?
Attention everyone on board… The ship is launching as is. Our destination is Mars.
(Nendol is on the phone)
What!?
Hey Ruri, what’s going on!?
Even though you’re the Captain, there are still things you can’t do.
Who cares. The Y-Nadesico belongs to us, the Meganoids.
The Meganoids!?
Who are you? You’re not Ruriruri!
Fufufu. Sometimes I’m Ruri Hoshino…
Sometimes I’m Akito Tenkawa…
Sometimes I’m Tetsuya Tsurugi…
Sometimes I’m Yurika Misumaru… But my true identity is!
Commander Nendol of the Meganoids!!
I can’t believe that a proud mechanical Meganoid has resorted to using trickery and disguises.
I’m not making any excuses.
This is impossible! To give orders to Omoikane, one must pass every check possible. No matter how good a disguise is, it would be impossible to fool our computer.
A Meganoid’s disguise isn’t just a costume change. We can perfectly disguise not only our fingerprints and voiceprints, but even our very DNA. Ha!
As you can see here. Omoikane, launch the Y-Nadesico.
…UNDERSTOOD…
Hey! You tricked us right under our noses!
Omoikane is just a machine after all. Merely a computer.
I’ll leave it to our Soldiers to take control of this ship.
UUUUOOOOOOOOOO!
It’s the package from earlier!
The Meganoid Soldiers were hiding inside of it.
Haah! Today we’ll show you the power of us nameless grunts.
Your words, not ours.
[Ship launching sounds]
W-what’s going on?
The Y-Nadesico is launching!
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
The Y-Nadesico is moving on its own!?
…I sense a malicious intent…
Incoming communication from inside the Y-Nadesico. A Meganoid has disguised itself as Captain Hoshino and seized the ship.
It’s been hijacked?
We need to stop the Y-Nadesico.
Launch the Nahel Argama now!
Contact Hokuto! Deploy Ogre!!
Chapter 28: Tomorrow’s “Captain” Is You!
Right off the bat, deploy 11 units. You cannot deploy any of the Aestis, Daitarn 3, or Ogre. If you’re playing as Fiona, you can’t deploy her either.
You’re here, THE BOYS.
Ahh! You’re that Meganoid woman from before!
You stopped me once before, but now I’m victorious. I’ll take the Y-Nadesico and everything inside of it with me.
I won’t let you do that!
I’ll stop you even if I have to use force.
Don’t attack the Y-Nadesico! Our friends are still inside.
So what should we do, Bright?
Kuh…
This is perfect. Nendol, they can’t attack the Y-Nadesico. Don will surely be pleased if we destroy them before we return to Mars.
Leave it to me. I’ll obliterate them!
Dammit! This is what happens when you trust computers too much!
Is that the Y-Nadesico?
But how!? Ruri and I are over here!
Garrod, over there on the dock…
Is that Yurikia and Ruri?
Did our Soldiers let them get away?
The real Ruriruri is over there!
(The cutoff is here between Raul and Fiona’s routes. Raul is back as the main character for the rest of the chapter, so Fiona’s portion will be in quotes.)
Okay Akito, go and get them!
We’ll take care of things here.
Don’t let them get away! Commander Nendol will get pissed at us!
Shut your traps!
(Akito is forced into the Air Frame for this stage)
Yurika! Ruri!
Akito, you came for us!
Get on board! We need the real Ruri to retake the Y-Nadesico.
Bring the Captain here right away. Otherwise the ship will stay like this forever.
Hurry. You’re too far away for the Aestivalis to regain its energy.
I know that. If I don’t get close to the Nadesico soon, I’ll run out of energy and won’t be able to move!
Dammit. Take down that Aestivalis! Nendol, don’t let it get close!
Tenkaway, hurry! Get back here now!
Any units with resupply devices, go and support Tenkawa!
quote:
[Fiona in the Excellence Flyer spawns]
Isn’t that Yurika over there?
Hoshino is with her too.
Fiona, over here! Please take us to the Y-Nadesico immediately.
Huh?
Hurry! The Y-Nadesico has been hijacked by the enemy.
To take it back, bring both of them to the Nadesico.
Bring the Captain here right away. Otherwise the ship will stay like this forever.
Okay. I’ll get off, so take the two of them there.
[Fiona moves to where Yurika and Ruri are]
Hurry up and get on!
Thank you.
Get them to the ship now!
Akito, I’m on my way.
Firstly, a new unit!
[GF13-001NHII Master Gundam (And with Fuunsaiki)]
It’s as good as the God Gundam but with more longer ranged options. It can also ride Fuunsaiki for the same benefits that God gets. On foot, Master and God have three combo attacks with each other, all of which are very powerful. Between Shining, Master, and Fuunsaiki, God Gundam has a lot of great partners. Just be sure to max out Master’s EN when you can since he’ll run dry very quickly.
So depending on who you’re playing as, you have to bring either Akito or Fiona to the Y-Nadesico. It’s easier as Fiona since you’re not dealing with a quickly draining EN supply. The Aestis can be resupplied by a resupplier like Kerott or Boss Borot, so you’re not entirely boned if you run out of EN. Also it’s Game Over if you defeat the Nadesico. Rush Akito/Fiona there as fast as possible.
If you do attack the Nadesico, Ryoko gets pissed at you (the player).
What are you doing, idiot?
And if you take it down for some reason…
You really took down your own allies!?
[GAME OVER]
At the start of turn 4…
Enemy units approaching! Wait, it can’t be!?
Aren’t they Galfa!?
You’ve got to be kidding me! We destroyed them!
So the Galfa homeworld hasn’t given up on Dendoh after all.
Where’s Hokuto?
We’ve sent him an emergency call. He should be here soon.
Haa. Haa… Is that Galfa!? Okay then. Ogre, scramble!!
Answer my voice as your rightful successor, Ogre!
Ah! Ogre! Where are you going!? Not that way. Not that way!
Very good.
Vega, Ogre just flew off. Is that alright?
Yeah. It must have gone to where Hokuto is.
Ogre, you’re going the wrong way! Where are you going!?
Now Galfa’s here too! No bosses, so it’s just a bunch of grunts. Focus on the Meganoids first and worry about the Galfa when they get closer.
Unrelated to this stage, but I found a weird bug where Master Gundam and Akito’s Aesti occupied the same space. Akito got priority when selecting the unit on that space. No idea how this happened. It went away once I moved him.
Anyway, the plot continues when you get Akito or Fiona next to the Y-Nadesico. For me, this happened before the Galfa showed up.
Alright! Both of you, hurry to the bridge!
Thanks Akito. I love you!
Quit flirting when it’s an emergency!
quote:
We’re here! Both of you, hurry to the bridge!
Let’s go Ruri!
OK.
We’re pretty much done here too.
Nendol, the jig is up.
Curse you Banjo… Let’s call this a draw.
That’s what losers say.
I haven’t lost yet! Muuuuuuuu!
Oh no. He’s turning into a Megaborg!
If he grows big, the bridge will be ruined! Do something!
Omoikane, activate emergency systems. Eject the Meganoid.
…UNDERSTOOD…
Whoa!
Curses. Who the hell do you think you are!?
This isn’t the place for you. Let’s go. DAITARN COOOOOOME HEREEEEEEEE!
Omoikane, start all systems…
Ruri, do your best.
…Thanks.
Damn you. How dare you mess up my plans!
You disguised yourself as us and went around doing terrible things. If you’re going to be evil, why can’t you be more honest about it?
Yeah. That’s really underhanded of you!
Beltori, why are you here?
I came to help since you’re all so incompetent.
The last plan was your failure!
It was yours too! I’ve come here to avenge my humiliation!
It doesn’t matter how many Meganoids are here!
For the sake of the world and its people, especially for beautiful women, Daitarn 3 will crush the ambitions of the Meganoids. If you don’t fear the radiance of the sun, then bring it on!
Repeated catchphrases are fatal and monotony is the enemy of the Meganoids.
A great catchphrase is eternal!
Enough nonsense!
[Y-Nadesico]
It’s just like the normal Nadesico, but with slightly higher stats and a new MAP attack that requires a lot of EN and will.
Strangely, Yurika is still captaining the Y-Nadesico. Anyway, there’s more Meganoids so more killing to be done.
Here’s Megaborg Nendol. Not really anything special. Just a reminder that all Megaborgs (giant Meganoids) have innate HP regen, so try to take them out in one turn.
Boss dialog time. None of them retreat at low HP, so go all out.
Until I receive Don Zauther’s love, I will never perish!
Even he must have issues with your heavy love.
Silence! Today I will defeat you and take Koros’ place by Don’s side!
Commander Nendol! You’re a failure who can only disguise yourself to steal what belongs to others.
Kukuku. Is that what it looks like, Banjo?
I can’t believe you disguised yourself as Akito of all people!
Even Omoikane was fooled…
Fufufu. That just goes to show how perfect my disguises are.
Beltori doesn’t say anything when defeated, but Zenoia and Nendol do.
D-damn you THE BOOOOOOOYS!
Curse you. I won’t die here… We’ll meet again!
[She explodes]
Good grief. There’s nothing scarier than a jealous woman.
The map ends when all enemies are defeated.
[Hoshimicho, Beach}
Haaa. Haaa. I finally caught up with you. Ogre, what happened?
It’s because I summoned it, Hokuto Kusanagi!
Huh? …How do you know my name?
Because I told him.
Tis! This is your doing.
It is. I called Ogre here… Thanks to this white Gear Commander.
So that was you who took it!
Ogre is mine. I’m taking it back…along with you!
Uwaaaaaaaaaa!
[Amusement Park, Contest Venue]
A lot of things happened, but now we’ll begin the award ceremony and present the master keys to the Y-Nadesico.
Congrats again, Ruri. Please continue to support the Nadesico.
…
Now let’s present the award. Ruri, please come forward.
I withdraw my participation.
Eh?
I forfeit. See ya.
Oh dear! What should we do…
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
Well since she withdrew, the second place winner, Yurika Misumaru, wins.
So nothing’s changed.
That’s fine, isn’t it? I think she’s the perfect choice as Captain.
Haaaaaa… I was looking forward to a new Captain.
Looking forward to working with you all in the future. V!
This next scene is Raul only.
[GEAR HQ, Hallway]
This sure was a hectic day.
But it was fun. A very nice distraction.
Yeah. It wasn’t bad.
I’ll keep doing my best.
Same here.
[GEAR HQ, Command Room]
There’s still no sign of Ogre or Hokuto?
Nada. Trowa and the others are still looking for them.
This is all we found.
His communication bracelet…
…We should assume he was either killed or captured by the enemy.
T-that’s impossible! He has to be fine! Unicorn, Dragon, and Viper are all with him!
You’re right.
We’ll expand the search area.
Hokuto aside, it would be hard to hide something like Ogre moving around.
[Alarm]
Status report!
GEAR Russia is sending an SOS!
Bring up the satellite footage!
Oh no!
…How horrible…
How many enemies are there? We’ll deploy immediately!
They say there’s only one enemy!
Only one!?
No…
[Explosion]
Oh no…
GEAR Russia is gone…
There’s no doubt about it… The Galfa homeworld has sent reinforcements…and they’re extremely powerful.
Contact all GEAR branches immediately! They’re targeting us!
[Phone rings]
Is that another branch!?
No, it’s a communication from space… It’s from Pala of Satelicon.
Pala Sys, eh? Connect her to me.
Captain Bright, what’s Satelicon?
It’s an organization that cooperated with the AEUG in space.
Thank you for the helpful explanation.
Ah, it finally went through. Captain Bright, we’ve got trouble! Get to space right away!!
(Pala Sys) (She’s on the phone)
Calm down! What happened? Where’s Roiza?
…Everyone’s gone… Everyone on Satelicon is dead except for me!
What the hell!?
A weird Gundam fired something like a Satellite Cannon at the base! We didn’t have time to run away.
A weird Gundam?
A Satellite Cannon!?
The Frost Brothers! They’re in space?
I just happened to be out on patrol at the time…
Okay. I’ll guide you to Earth, so come here right away.
There’s no time for that! Those Neo Zeon guys are preparing the Colony Laser!
The Colony Laser!?
What’s a Colony Laser?
It’s a space colony that’s been turned into a giant laser cannon.
You’ve got to be kidding me. If that goes off, it’ll be the end of the world!
After Dekim’s coup, we let our guard down and thought they’d be quiet for a while. Big mistake.
Okay, we’ll go into space right away. Keep an eye on their movement, but don’t push yourself too hard.
R-roger.
You heard it, Chief. I’m sorry but the Nahel Argama will be going into space to stop the Colony Laser. I’d like to borrow some forces as well.
That’s fine, but…
I know. We’ll leave some forces behind to fight back against whoever’s attacking the GEAR branches.
And that’s the situation. Who wants to volunteer to go into space with us?
Not me. I have to look for Hokuto and who knows when the enemy will come here!
We understand. You look for your partner here.
We, the Shuffle Alliance, will go to space. Rain, Allenby, are you alright with that?
Of course!
And you, Master?
No, I’ll stay at GEAR.
Why?
You can’t follow me around forever. Besides, I’m interested in the enemy who destroyed GEAR Russia single handedly.
We’ll stay with GEAR too.
I’ll go to space then.
The Getter Team will also go to space. We can’t leave the Colony Laser unchecked.
Texas Mack will join the space rodeo.
Would either Combattler or Voltes like to come?
Combattler will join you.
Good idea. With Kerott with us, we can also stay supplied.
You finally know our value.
In that case, Voltes will stay behind. We need to prepare for the enemy who attacked GEAR Russia.
Don’t worry, we can take them!
Yeah.
I’m staying on Earth. If a fast enemy shows up, we’d be in trouble if the Aestivalises are the only lightweight units we have.
We’ll stay down here too.
Duo, Heero, Trowa, any objections?
None.
Ok, let’s get this sorted. The members going into space will be the mobile suit units.
Except for me, Noin, Heero, Dro, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei.
The Shuffle Alliance, the Getter Team, Texas Mack, Daitarn 3, and the Combattler Team are coming up too.
The rest of us will wait on Earth. That’s the Y-Nadesico crew, Dendoh, the Mazinger Team, the Zambot Team, the Voltes Team, and Zechs and his friends.
I’m staying on Earth too.
What about you, Raul?
That’s right. Where’s the Excellence going?
Stay at GEAR HQ
>Go to Space
Dear readers, we’ve got the final route split of the game! You’ve read who’s going where, so make your decisions.
SECRET ALERT
Go to space for secrets related to ZZ Gundam and Gundam X.
Stay at GEAR for secrets related to Zambot 3 and Dendoh.
Raul decides to head to space.
Alright. Get ready to leave momentarily. Once we’re ready, we’re leaving.
Fiona decides to stay at GEAR.
Okay. We don’t know when the enemy will come, but be prepared to be attacked at any time.
Dang it Hokuto! Where are you at a time like this…
This scene is only if you chose to stay at GEAR.
[???, ???]
…Uuuuuu…
…Are you awake?
Oh, Subaru… Where am I…
This is our…
Right, I remember now. I was battling Dendoh.
Yes, you got a little injured. But you seem to have made a complete recovery.
Yea, I feel fine now… Subaru, what’s wrong?
…
You must be exhausted, Lord Subaru. He’s been with you this entire time.
I see. I’m sorry, Subaru. But thank you.
…
It’ll be fine. I’ll definitely beat Dendoh next time.

The Daitarn episode featuring Nendol is episode 35.
