Last time, Galfa decided to throw an entire planet at us.
[???, ???]
…W-what the hell is this thing!?
My creator… What am I? What is my purpose?
How did my efforts turn out like this?
You who gave birth to me. My creator. Who am I? Please tell me…
You are a mistake!
A mistake… What is a mistake?
Something like you should not exist. Your existence itself is a mistake. A failure! A duminas!
…Duminas… Is that my name…?
Your kind shouldn’t exist. Your very existence itself is a mistake, a failure, a duminas!
Creator, what are you doing?
You shouldn’t exist, for you are a duminas!
Creator, why? Why do you not acknowledge my existence? If you do not acknowledge my existence, then why did you create me?
You are a duminas! Duminases shouldn’t exist!
But you created me.
I didn’t intend on creating something like you. Damn Duminas… The very act of you existing is wrong!
What do you mean by wrong? What’s wrong with me!?
Everything about you.
…I want to exist. Even if I’m wrong, even if I’m a duminas, I want to exist!
W-what are you doing!? I’m your… Are you going to strike down your creator? You are a duminas after all!
I just want to exist!
S-stop it, you duminas! GWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
[Galfa Royal Palace]
…Again… That dream again…
Lord Duminas, are you okay?
I’m fine. Give me some space.
Okay…
Since that time, I’ve drifted through the universe and gained a great deal of knowledge… But there are people in the universe who are just like the Creator. People who try to erase mistakes…who try to erase my existence… Creator, I will soon come to see you again… I will leap through time with the Time Flow Engine. When I do, please give me an answer. Creator… If I wasn’t a duminas, then what was I supposed to be…
[Galfa Royal Palace, A Room]
What do I do when I make a mistake?
Yes. Please tell me.
I investigate why the mistake happened.
A mistake is essentially when something ends up different from what you wanted.
So Lord Duminas was something different than what their creator envisioned.
We have sayings on Earth. “Failure is the mother of success” and “Turn misfortune into a blessing”.
What does that mean?
Don’t deny failure, but think of it as the next step of the process.
Behind one’s success are many failures. Without these mistakes, there is no success.
I know it’s hard for Duminas, but its creator was an awful person…
Is that so…
Lalia, Despinis, what are you doing? THE BOYS are coming!
I’m sorry!
…Thank you for listening to us.
No, we learned something too… Mainly that Duminas wants the Time Flow Engine to meet its creator and discover why it was created.
But that doesn’t mean we can just hand it over… If we compare Duminas to a machine, they’re defective. It just needs to be repaired, though no one alive can do it.
I wouldn’t even know where to begin…
Exactly…
[Meteo, Command Room]
The Galfa homeworld is covered in a shield emitted by its moon. It’s almost impossible to break through with normal attacks.
You won’t know until you try!
That’s right. We’ll launch a series of Final Attacks.
Our job doesn’t end when the shield is broken. We can’t run dry right at the start.
We don’t have to use brute force to break the shield.
There’s a shield generator on the moon. We can destroy that from the outside.
So we just need to do something about that first, non?
That’s the first but most important step to our plan.
We’ll gather all our forces to reach the generator, infiltrate it, and shut it down.
Isn’t it better to just destroy it?
It’ll be faster to shut it down properly.
Then the backup system will activate shortly afterwards. We’ll have to breach the atmosphere before then.
When the shield comes back up, we’ll have to be inside it.
So who’s going to shut down the device? None of us are familiar with Galfa technology.
I’ll do it. I know more about Galfa and their technology than anyone here.
Subaru…
You certainly know more about it than I do.
It’s too dangerous. They’ll have concentrated their defenses there.
Captain… I was once Galfa, but not anymore. I’m not an Earthling, but I want to be with Hokuto and his family. That’s why I want to do this. I don’t know why, but I know I have to…
Subaru…
…Is that weird, Hokuto?
No. I don’t really get it myself either, but I want the same thing. We all want to be together.
But…
Bright, you adults seem hesitant to let us kids fight, but isn’t that just insulting us?
It’s true, we don’t really want to fight. But we have to protect our future.
Captain Bright… Even kids have thoughts and feelings as strong as adults.
It’s not the old who create the future.
…Fine.
It’s decided. Subaru, you’ll accompany Vega.
Yes, brother!
[Galfa Royal Palace, A Room]
The one who obtains all the sacred electron beasts becomes King of the universe…eh?
I can’t believe Emperor Galfa would believe such drivel.
Don’t they realize that the key to obtaining everything isn't the Data Weapons, but us?
He’ll understand eventually… No, we’ll make him understand…
To do that, the Data Weapons are an obstacle.
But before we deal with them, we must bring justice to the people of Earth, who rejected us and drove us away…
Just like how Duminas destroyed its creator who rejected them…
[Meteo, Command Room]
800,000 km to the Galfa Homeworld.
Operations will now commence. All personnel, level one battle stations. All mechs, prepare to launch!
Nadesico C and Ra Cailum are launching!
Meteo will hold back and provide support to both ships from the rear!
Chapter 35: A Stormy Sea
Select 11 units. Dendoh, Ogre, and Valhalla are forced deploys. Note that Hokuto is back in Dendoh and Altair is in Ogre now. Altair also lacks any Data Weapons, so he’s just doing his best. If you went the route that maxed out Ogre’s upgrades for free, this stage will be a lot easier.
Is that the Galfa homeworld?
The shield station is here.
All units, support Vega’s Valhalla!
Get the Valhalla there no matter what!
Countless enemy units are confirmed.
We’ve got more Spiral Castles approaching from another direction!
It’s a swarm of them!
Are those the Frost Brothers!?
I’m getting tired of seeing your faces.
You’re betraying the Earth!?
The Earth betrayed us first.
That’s right. If they gave us the respect we deserve, it wouldn’t have come to this.
Hey, aren’t those Mecha-Boosts?
There are some Devil Aestis too!
They’ve probably stolen the blueprints like with the mass produced Greats and fake Combattlers.
Bingo! I saw the blueprints for these babies on Gaizok's computer, so I borrowed them.
As for the Devil Aestivalises, I stole them from a Nergal factory.
They sure love fighting in other people’s loincloths.
Is that how you talk about a lady!?
You’re a homunculus though!
Something else is coming!
He’s back too!?
It’s been a while, THE BOYS… But this meeting will be our last.
Zero!?
How? I’m sure we destroyed him on Earth.
I am immortal.
Don’t fall for their bait. If this turns into a war of attrition, we have no chance of winning.
Don’t forget our objective!
Let’s go, Subaru. The success of this operation depends on us.
Yes!
I won’t let you do that!
That’s my line.
What!?
THE BOYS, I will provide support.
Genichiro!
You’re from the Jovian Federation! Why are you here!?
A man who’s committed betrayal after betrayal finally wants to do the right thing. That’s all.
Genichiro, is that really you?
Back on Jupiter, Genpachiro and Saburota are preparing a coup d’etat to usurp Kusakabe and restore true peace. In order to ensure that their efforts aren’t in vain, Earth cannot be destroyed here!
You’re their only reinforcement?
There are some things you can only do yourself! I’ll show you my Jovian spirit!!
Commence the operation!
Let’s go!
The Objective is to get Vega all the way to that red moon. If she, Ogre, or Dendoh falls, it’s game over.
We’ve also got Genichiro in an unupgraded Alstroemeria, the last new unit in the game. I don’t know how he got one. His survival isn’t necessary, but he’s trying to be a bro.
Also now we’ve got the Nadesico C! It’s limited to only Gravity attacks, but it’s far more powerful than the Y-Nadesico. It won’t be seeing much action.
SECRET ALERT
Defeat Zero three times.
Zero here is literally immortal. If you defeat him, he’ll just resurrect at full HP. To get Dendoh and Ogre’s ultimate abilities, you’ll need to defeat him three times here. Otherwise you’ll just get it on the next stage. This LP will proceed as if you get it here rather than later. Also he looks like a Tekkaman here on top of Vector.
Between here and there we’ve got a wide variety of mini bosses. They will not put up much of a fight. What will put up a fight are the Frost Brothers, Lalia, Tis, and Zero. My advice is to defeat all enemies, then defeat Zero three times, then proceed to ignore Zero while you march everyone over to the moon. Just a reminder that the Frost Brothers have three Propellent Tanks each, so try to defeat them before they can properly spam their Satellite Launcher. Most bosses now have a Super Repair Kit which will top off their HP and EN when they start getting low. Try to burst them down in one turn.
You foolish, weak humans!
Like you’d know if we’re weak or not!
We absolutely cannot lose!
Subaru, you’re still alive. Humans are surprisingly tenacious.
Zero, I don’t need you anymore. I have everyone here!
Foolish. But you’re only human after all…
Zero, get out of our way!!
I’m your opponent, Zero!
Altair, you’re nothing!
Oh no, my mech!
Tch, I have no choice. I’m retreating!
No! I can’t believe I’ve been defeated by these guys again! I haven’t done anything yet!
Didn’t do anything? You’ve done enough!!
We’re not the kind of people who’d just disappear in a place like this!
[Olba explodes]
Olba! …How dare you do that, plebs!
Oh come on! You don’t get it yet? What’s so great about being able to talk to your brother telepathically?
Those without this power won’t understand how amazing it is!!
But now that he’s dead, isn’t it pointless?
I won’t forgive you… I’ll never forgive you!!
You still want to fight!?
The only person you tried to understand was your brother. Why didn’t you try to understand anyone else!?
Shut up! You dare suggest I try to understand the worthless masses!?
Impossible! We’re superior to you!
What’s so great about you anyway? We all can communicate with each other just fine!
You’re not like you! We’re… GWAAAAAAAH!
[Shagia explodes]
quote:
Brother! Brother!! I understand. I understand your sadness. Your pain…
You’re not the only one suffering here!
I won’t forgive you! I’ll never forgive you!
You still want to fight?
The only person you tried to understand was your brother. Why didn’t you try to understand anyone else!?
Shut up! We brothers are superior to all!!
Defeated Zero the first time.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
[Zero explodes and then instantly respawns in the same place]
W-what the!?
He revived!?
Isn’t that just a different unit of the same model!?
It’s not. That’s the same Zero that I’m sure we just defeated.
You can’t defeat me. No one can.
And the second time.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
[Zero explodes and then instantly respawns in the same place]
Heh… What a pointless struggle.
He revived again!?
What the hell is going on?
I don’t know!
I told you, you can’t kill me.
And the third and final time.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
[Zero explodes and then instantly respawns in the same place]
Oh no, he’s back again!
There’s no end to it!
Don’t say you can’t do it!
That’s right. If you think you can’t, that’s when you’ll lose!
You can’t win just because you think you can.
Shut up! “Power comes from the heart”!
We can’t lose to you heartless bastards!
As a small token of mercy, I’ll put an end to your struggles here.
You’re so annoying!
We won’t lose! As long as everyone is here, we’ll protect our future!
For everyone on Earth!
For the future of the Jovians!
No darkness can penetrate those who believe in the light of the future!!
GOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Super Robot Wars MX - Pulse of the Shining Sword
Wh-what’s that!?
That’s the same light from when the Kiba was born…
…The cage of despair that held me captive disappears. I can finally reveal my true form.
What’s that?
…Phoenix.
Is that…the seventh Data Weapon…?
Phoenix borrowed Vega’s appearance from when she was a child…
…Why now…
With everyone’s hopes in mind, I now make a pact with these warriors.
(Name now revealed as Phoenix)
[Screen flashes]
This is…
The Gear Commander…
It’s glowing…
…What I seek is hope… For that is infinite power… Do you wish to make a contract, new warriors?
…Hokuto.
…Ginga.
Are you saying that I once again…have hope within me?
I guess so…
Huh?
Hope cannot be held by one person alone… It’s something that is contracted by multiple people… The seventh one.
I see! That’s why Dendoh is a two-seater!
And why there’s two GEARs!
Do you wish to make a contract?
FILE SAVE! PHOENIX!
FILE SAVE! PHOENIX!
FILE SAVE! PHOENIX!
PHOENIX DRIVE!
INSTALL!
I’ve been given one last chance. PHOENIX DRIVE! INSTALL!
GEAR Fighter Dendoh - FINAL ATTACK
Damn you! Even if you have Phoenix, you cannot defeat us!
You were so hung up on that Data Weapon and now you say that after your enemy can use it!
You’re just a sore loser, Zero!
Shut up! Even with the power of the Phoenix, I am immortal!!
Now for the real final units in the game.
[GEAR Fighter Dendoh Phoenix Aile]
Throw out those batteries because we’ve got infinite power. Literally. Phoenix Aile’s primary gimmick is the Energy MAX skill. Much like Aestis, Dendoh will regain full EN at the start of every single turn. Yes, that means you can throw out its insanely powerful 9 ranged Final Attack every turn. There is literally no reason to use any other Data Weapon for the rest of the game.
[Knight GEAR Ogre Phoenix Aile]
Ogre’s Phoenix form has two swords. He loses his Final Attack, but can deal pretty good damage at close range. He also still has the Energy MAX skill.
Let’s just ignore Zero now. He’s harmless if you defend his single attack per turn.
Get Vega to the moon to continue the plot.
Valhalla has entered the shield station.
Dammit!
Let’s do this!
Here’s the control room!
You deal with the shield. I’ll take care of the defense systems!
Yes! …Done!!
The shield around the Galfa homeworld has disappeared.
Hurry! Before the backup system kicks in!
Hustle! Get to the planet!!
Alright! Let’s go!!
I won’t let you!
Dendoh, shake off Zero! There’s no point in fighting him.
Dammit!
Dendoh!
We’re following them!
Yes!
[Dendoh, Ogre, Valhalla, and Zero are forced into the planet and leave the map]
Alright. We’re going in too. Hurry!
Nadesico C is on its way!
The Devil Gundam!
I can’t let you through.
quote:
There’s still enemies remaining!
Then just get rid of them!
Look, it’s three Devil Gundams and Despinis. You know how to fight them already. They’re really not that hard at this point, especially since they spawn at 100 will and we’ve been fighting for the past hour or so.
I’m returning to the Royal Palace for now!
The map ends when all enemies are defeated after Vega and Subaru deactivated the shield.
Mizuho. Raji. I’m coming for you!
quote:
I’m finally here. Just wait for me, you two! I’m on my way!
We’re finally charging into the enemy’s base! Time for the climax!
[Meteo, Command Room]
The Ra Cailum and Nadesico C have entered the shield.
Okay. We’ll hang back and cover their escape route.
We’ll fight too.
The enemy is Galfa, but so are we.
But Lord Subaru’s enemy is our enemy.
That’s right. Lord Subaru’s enemy is our enemy. That’s why we’ll fight!!
Hyper communication from Preventer HQ. Countless Spiral Castles sighted near Martian orbit. They’ll reach Earth in 48 hours.
48 hours…
Will they make it?
Everyone… We’re counting on you!
[Galfa Homeworld]
Geh. I lost sight of Dendoh… Where did they go!?
[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
Genichiro, is it true there are plans for a coup in the Jovian Federation?
Your words helped, but the main trigger was when Despinis ran off with the Computation Unit.
She stole it!?
Because of that, they began to fear a drawn out war. And then your words finally reached their ears.
So you decided to try peace again.
But Kusakabe has all the real power in the Federation. It won’t be that easy.
So you need us as living witnesses to expose his crimes… Do I have that right?
Exactly. That’s why I was sent here to support you and explain the citation. Of course, one of my missions is to recover the stolen Computation Unit from Despinis.
How selfish.
I know it’s selfish, but it’s necessary to create a new Jovian Federation. After peace is made, I will accept any punishment…
Genichiro, don’t worry about it. If you hold truth and justice in your heart, you’ll overcome it.
Tsukumo…
Well?
Well what?
Why don’t we have him become a Preventer like Wufei and me?
We’ll talk about that later.
Right now, our first priority is to settle things with Emperor Galfa.
That’s right.
It’s about time.
What kind of planet is this Galfa homeworld?
It’s the home planet of a machine empire, so it has to be covered with masses of iron and steel plates, right?
We’re breaking through the clouds now!
And we’re through! Huh?
W-what the hell?
Is this really the Galfa homeworld?
This green planet is indeed Galfa's homeworld.
Atmospheric conditions are breathable for us.
Let’s land.
[Galfa Homeworld]
This is wonderful… This land is overflowing with nature. This is what I once sought Earth to become…
There’s fish in the river!?
The water’s quality is impeccable. It’s very drinkable.
Hey, isn’t that a unicorn over there!?
Is this really the homeworld of a machine empire?
I can’t believe the Galfa are from here…
…This is the first time I’ve seen the surface of the planet. I’ve never left the Royal Palace.
Hey, can we take this beetle-like thing back to Earth?
Don’t.
Even though we were underground, there were plants everywhere… We were taught they were very important.
A machine empire that loves nature…
Galfa was originally a computer that controlled this planet’s ecology.
Emperor Galfa is a computer!?
Yes. Even though it’s gone mad and runs amok, it hasn’t forgotten his original mission.
What mission?
Arctus created Galfa to protect the planet, so that we can live peacefully with it.
Even the natural environment is controlled by a computer… In a way, it’s similar to a colony.
But Galfa thought it was the king of everything and crowned itself the emperor of a machine empire.
Galfa can control everything, from nature to humans.
In other words, it can do whatever it wants.
So when Galfa turned its fangs on humanity, we had little choice but to perish.
Perhaps this was Arctus’ fate…
King or not, I cannot allow someone or something to try and wipe out all of humanity, no matter how powerful they might be.
Hmm!?
…Someone’s here…
Who’s there? Come out!
…
Ah, wait!
That was…a child!?
How…
This scene is Raul only.
[Ra Cailum, Deck]
Raul…
Oh Tiffa. What’s up?
Raji and Mizuho are deep inside the Royal Palace…
What!?
I can feel them… Please help them…
Captain Bright, I’m heading out in the Excellence. I’m going to save them!
Be careful. The Palace is their base.
I know. But I’d like to save them before a proper battle breaks out if possible.
In that case, do you need some backup?
The Getter Team!
With Getter-2, we can approach from underground.
We’re always on the back foot. Let’s launch a surprise attack for once!
This scene is Fiona only.
[Nadesico C, Deck]
Ruri, I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
(Ruri is on the monitor)
I want you to connect the Nadesico C’s radar system to the Excellence.
Hey, just what are you planning to do?
I’m going to look for any Time Flow reactions on this planet. If those two are forced to research a Time Flow Engine, I’m sure we’ll be able to ping each other.
Okay… I’ll connect Omoikane to the Excellence.
[Galfa Royal Palace]
…Are you alright, Lord Duminas?
Mmmm. I envy Emperor Galfa… It has a reason for its existence.
I rule over everything. The water, the wind, the light, the earth! Without me, humans cannot survive. I am the king of the stars, no, the king of the entire universe!
If I could use the Time Flow Engine to travel back in time and meet my creator, perhaps I too would be able to learn my reason for living…
I’ve finished adjusting the Time Flow Engine…
So now I can travel through time…?
Only thanks to the Computation Unit you brought with you. Although we won’t know for sure until we run some tests.
I’ll do the test myself.
…Then what? Are you going to kill us?
No, you’ll be free to go. THE BOYS will be here soon too.
Although after we leave, we might end up blowing everything up, along with THE BOYS.
Raul…

Fiona…
This scene is Fiona only.
[Galfa Royal Palace, Hallway]
It’s finally time. Are you ready to escape?
…Let’s not do this after all. It’s too reckless.
We’ve come to the point where we have to take risks.
But…
Don’t worry. Even if I’m not here, Fiona will be. The Excellence will be completed.
Raji…
…
…
When you get back, could you please pass on a message to Fiona for me?
…What is it?
It’s just one sentence…
