Video of this chapter
This chapter only has 7 deployment slots, so make them count. You’ll see soon why most of the team is on the bench. I’ve decided to deploy Youta/Koji, Jin/Klan, Shou/Alex, Kio/Alto, Gorg/Leon, Knight Gundam/Riddhe, and SKL/Galient. Guy is a forced deployment. Ozma once again is the tactician.
Last time, we tried to rescue Sheryl (success) and stop Mardoul from invading Earth (failed). This chapter is probably one of the most memorable in the game, at least to me.
[Celestial Being, Bridge]
Thank you for intercepting the Jupiter Exploration Vessel Europa, Brigadier General Kati Mannequin.
(Phone)
We’ve calculated that all of the spacecraft’s debris will burn up in the atmosphere.
(Kati Mannequin. Gundam 00. CV: Minami Takayama)
It was a ship that was sent to explore Jupiter 130 years ago. It’s amazing that the Vagans or Jovian Lizards didn’t destroy it earlier.
There were no vital signs, but since it was going to crash into Earth, is it possible that one of our enemies took it over?
(Patrick Colasour. Gundam 00. CV: Kenji Hamada)
It’s not impossible, but there’s no way to know for sure.
…I’m sorry for causing you guys in space so much trouble.
It’s fine. Now that the Big Ring has fallen, we have to use everything we have to maintain space superiority. This ship is no exception.
A deep space spaceship built by the private armed organization “Celestial Being”...
And its name is “Celestial Being”, named after that same organization! After the last war, we seized it and already unlocked 60% of the ship. Isn’t that right, Colonel?
It’s Brigadier General. How many years do you need to get it wrong before you’re satisfied? And we’re 70% done, idiot.
Aeolia Schenberg built it two centuries before we encountered the Zentradi. He was a remarkable man, but your husband doesn’t seem to understand its significance.
I’m so embarrassed.
Brigadier General Kati, I’m counting on you to take care of that ship. Keep it safe from the Vagans, Jovians, and the Jaaku Empire. With the Earth as it is right now, the information on that ship has immeasurable value.
Yes. It houses “Veda”, the quantum computing system that manages and stores all information on Earth. It was only thanks to Veda’s support that Celestial Being was able to perform their armed interventions seven years ago.
(TL Note: Watch Gundam 00.)
That’s a bitter memory. Even more bitter than Japanese tea. Even so, we must be grateful for the end results. But that just means there’s no end to those seeking to acquire that technology.
I’ve heard rumors of spies afoot… Could they be Vagans or Jovians?
There are people both inside and outside the Federation who want to obtain that technology. That’s just how it is.
…Admiral, how’s Commander Algreus doing?
He’s as you’d expect.
…
But the Commander’s will remains unchanged. Especially regarding that ship.
I guess so…
Continuing. In the last battle, we encountered an extraterrestrial lifeform and somehow were able to make it through the battle.
Extraterrestrial life? Was it the Zentradi or Protodeviln?
Haven’t you read the report yet? It was the group that attacked and destroyed GGG’s Bay Tower Base on Earth. The 31 Machine Primevals.
[J-Ark, Bridge]
28 of them are left…
MANY OF THE 31 MACHINE PRIMEVALS THAT FELL TO EARTH WERE LEFT IN THEIR CORE STATE. THEY SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO REGENERATE SO EASILY.
On the other hand, it’s difficult to track them.
…
So we’re chasing an enemy that would be easier to find if they went on a rampage…
(???. Darkened)
So you’re finally awake, lion man.
It’s all thanks to you for treating me. Let me express my gratitude.
(Back to normal) (TL Note: His name is Warrior ZZ, but it’s pronounced “Double Zeta”.)
There’s no need to thank me. It was Arma who wanted to save you.
Arma… You mean that young boy?
Six months ago, you were teleported into a volcano and were about to be swallowed up by the magma. This ship just happened to be lying dormant there.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you helped me. Thank you, boy.
…
If you’re satisfied, then get off this ship. Your wounds should have healed enough that you can move.
That just won’t do. Leaving without repaying the favor would be a disgrace to my name as a Captain of the Argus Knights.
YOU’VE PICKED UP A TROUBLESOME MAN, ARMA. WON’T HE BE A HINDRANCE TO OUR MISSION?
…It seems the time has come to find out.
They’ve finally made a move, Arma?
Far to the north… Around the North Pole.
So what are these 31 Machine Primevals that you’re fighting?
THE ORIGIN OF THE 31 PRIMEVALS EXISTS BEYOND THE STARS. OUR FIGHT BEGINS AND ENDS HERE.
That’s all you need to know about the 31 Machine Primevals.
It’s our mission as warriors of Abel to fight them! Let’s go! J-Ark, launch!
Chapter 16: Reunion at Subzero
…
Fusion with the Marine Plant, Explorer Seven, is complete. EM Wave control capability, currently developing. Mission success rate, 99.92%.
Distance correction! All guns, fire simultaneously! FIRE!!
…
[A flash of light]
That monster blocked it with pillars of ice!
How could mere ice block that attack?
POWERFUL EM WAVES INTERFERED WITH THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF WATER, CREATING A STATE OF ABSOLUTE ZERO.
Then we’ll use even more firepower to break through!
Leg Primeval! I will capture your core!
The disaster left behind by Abel. Predicting its next course of action.
…
GAAAAAH!
[King J-Der lands, dormant]
What the!?
A STRONG EM WAVE ATTACK CONNECTED. JEWEL GENERATOR OUTPUT REDUCED. CURRENTLY UNABLE TO MOVE.
So the absolute zero temperature is merely a side effect… So this is its true power…
Ugh…
The disaster left behind by Abel. Begin complete erasure.
J-Jewel… Grant me…your power…
HOLD IIIIIIIIIIIT!
So you’re one of the 31 Machine Primevals!? I won’t let you destroy my benefactors!
Unidentified lifeform confirmed. Danger level, unknown.
W-what are you doing? Your body hasn’t recovered enough to fight…
I’m fine. I will release you from this curse.
You…fool…
Let him go, J. It’s the only thing we can do right now. And…it looks like they’ve returned.
Deploy the troops!
Where are we?
Current coordinates put us in the Arctic Ocean. It seems we’re back on Earth.
Earth? So we really came back?
We did, but it’s too early to celebrate.
G-GaoGaiGar… And the cyborg’s squad…
That’s the white battleship robot from earlier! It’s shot down!?
Can you hear me, comrades? I’m Warrior ZZ, the Captain of the Argus Knight’s Warrior Corp!
ZZ!? Is that you!?
Sir Alex! You’re alive! We’ll talk later! Right now, I need your help fighting against the Primevals with my benefactor!
But we’re still exhausted from fighting against Mardoul’s army…
We’re fine, aren’t we? If we leave that Primeval thing alone, it might destroy the Earth.
Eh!? Ruri, what do you mean by that!?
According to Omoikane’s analysis, it appears that this enemy is slowly moving towards the north pole of Earth’s magnetic field, the North Magnetic Pole.
Are they planning to destroy the Van Allen Belts!?
(TL Note: Google it.)
I see… It’ll use its giant EM Waves to disrupt the Earth’s magnetic field and cause the Van Allen Belts surrounding the planet to disappear…
If that were to happen, harmful cosmic rays would bombard us, wiping out all life on Earth!
Everyone would die!?
…It seems we can’t ignore this situation.
Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me! We won’t let you do this!
Mina, come assist us on the bridge. We’ll worry about you later.
Okay…
(It’s going to be hard to keep her story a secret… But we need to get through this first!)
It’s impossible to resist Earth’s environmental destruction. All of humanity will turn into Zonders.
…
Mobile suits! The Feds have come to the rescue!
Why are those mobile suits attacking us!?
Everyone, those are Zonders! Zonders are controlling those mobile suits!
So they’re with the Primevals!
Yes… The Bay Tower Base… They’re with the guys who killed everyone at GGG!
In that case, we can’t just run away…
Can you fight in that condition?
You’re being stupid! You just got your butt kicked by Bruvictor!
Don’t stop me. I owe them a debt.
But…
Hilmuka, you stay back. I’m willing to bet that thing you’re in was affected by the teleportation and can’t fly properly.
There’s no fooling your eyes. This is something I dug up on Earst… Besides, I’m not really confident in my flying anyway. Sorry, but I’m leaving this up to you.
(So that thing was unearthed…)
From now on, we’ll be fighting with an enemy known as the Primevals!
At the same time, protect that white battleship robot! They probably know something about these things!
(Kaidou… You must be in that robot…)
That Primeval has fused with the Union’s state of the art Marine Plant, Explorer Seven! I looked at the analysis and it has a massive barrier around it! A half-hearted attack won’t break through!
In that case, we have no choice but to sneak into its blind spot and unleash all of our firepower! All units, formation Totsugeki Love Heart!
First, the new unit. King J-Der is unusable right now, so I’ll save it for later.
[Warrior ZZ]
A front line fighter that, despite having only short range attacks, can use all of them after moving. At least his finisher is range 1-2 instead of just 1. Make sure to buff up his mobility and defense to increase survivability. The Perfect Bible recommends giving him the skill that prevents debuffs.
The first objective is to get to the highlighted area. The enemies are weak Clances and GN-XIVs, so they won’t be that much of a problem. What is something that’s worth noting is that every single unit (except King J-Der and Warrior ZZ) starts at 50% HP and EN. Watch out so that your units don’t overextend and get overwhelmed. King J-Der cannot move, attack, or defend at this time, and if it gets shot down, it’s Game Over.
They are proud warriors… My help may be unnecessary, but now’s the time for us to join forces! I will repay their kindness with loyalty! Captain of the Argus Knights’ Warrior Corps, Warrior ZZ! Going forth!
GaoGaiGar! The Primevals are very strong! I don’t want to see you lose again!
It’ll be fine, Mamoru. I won’t lose to the Primevals again! Everyone at GGG…watch over me… I will protect the Earth!
IN ADDITION TO THE JEWEL GENERATOR, THE POWER OF THE J-JEWEL IS ALSO DECREASING.
Damn. I can’t even move properly… I guess I was caught off guard…
Endure it for now. All we can do is watch over the lions and their battle.
The plot continues when any unit gets to the highlighted area. For me, that was Warrior ZZ.
We’ve reached the effective range to attack the Primeval.
Let’s finish that big thing off!
How naive!
(???. Darkened)
Kyaaaa!
Ugh… My body feels so heavy!
W-what’s going on…
Gravity anomaly confirmed!
What could cause such a massive and sudden change!?
It’s a Primeval… One of the 31 Machine Primevals, the Arm Primeval!
Hehehe… How shameful, humans. And how shameful of both the Legacy of Cain and the disaster left behind by Abel.
(TL Note: Blood Omen.) (Back to normal)
That’s another Primeval? It looks just like a human!
Could it be…they’ve merged with humans?
I’ll crush you with my super gravity!
I…I won’t let you!
Guy!
You Primevals… I won’t let anything more be taken from me…
The Legacy of Cain can still move in this gravity? How rude. But your fate is already sealed!
GAAAAAAH!
The Gao Machines!
Ugh…
…
The Marine Plant Primeval has begun moving towards the North Magnetic Pole!
If it reaches it, the Van Allen Belts will be destroyed!
Damn you, Arm Primeval!
Once again, you will witness the ascension of a Machine Planet! Abel’s Disaster! Legacy of Cain!
Is this our limit…?
At a time like this… If only they were here at a time like this…
Don’t give up, Guy!!
(???. Darkened. Phone)
!?
[Large laser sounds as the screen fades to white]
What the hell!? Leg was…
I can move?
Shou, that massive long ranged attack had to be!...!
And that Aura has to be…!
SRW BX - Those Beyond the Boundary
Aura Nova Cannon, hit confirmed.
(Abe Tamari. Dunbine. CV: Ryuuichi Horibe)
That malicious power seems to have vanished.
(Elle Humm. Dunbine. CV: Run Sasaki)
That the Goraon from the Land of Rau! Elle Humm!
Go forth, heroes!
Sorry we’re late, Gaigar! Falsaber!
It’s you!
You’re…alive…?
We can talk after we finish dealing with the Primeval!
Guy, here are some new Gao Machines!
(Back to normal, no longer on the phone)
Perform another Final Fusion! You can do it, hero!
(Phone)
Mikoto! Everyone!
We’re up too! HyouRyuu! FuuRyuu! RaiRyuu!
Yeah! You’ve taught us the GGG spirit! Time to show it off!
(RaiRyuu. GaoGaiGar. CV: Shinichi Yamada)
FINAL FUSION! APPROVED
Roger! FINAL FUSION! PROGRAM DRIVE!
FINAL FUUUUUUUSIOOOOOOOOON!
SYMMETRICAL DOCKING!
SYMMETRICAL DOCKING!
GUNGRUE! GUNDOBER! THREE BECOMES ONE!
GAO! GAI! GAAAAAAAR!
CHOOOORYUUUUUUJIIIIIIIN!
GEKIIIIRYUUUUUUJIIIIIIIN!
BIG VOLFOOOOGG
(ChoRyuJin. GaoGaiGar. CV: Shinichi Yamada)
(GekiRyuJin. GaoGaiGar. CV: Shinichi Yamada)
(Big Volfogg. GaoGaiGar. CV: Katsuyuki Konishi)
Amazing…
Yeah! It’s GGG’s Strongest Heroic Robot Army!
I hope you haven’t forgotten about me, Mic!
(Mic Sounders XIII. GaoGaiGar. CV: Mitsuo Iwata)
If anything, we’re more likely to be forgotten!
(Keen Kiss. Dunbine. CV: Yumi Takada)
That’s Keen’s Botune! Then that other one must be Nie!
We’ve heard the situation from Commander Algreus! We’ll fight together!
(Nie Given. Dunbine. CV: Makoto Ataka)
Leg Primeval, core damaged. Operation failed. Must recover…
I won’t let you take that Primeval Core!
Soldato J! You can move now!?
Dammit, they got us! Pagliaccio, let’s retreat!
Heh. Didn’t expect you to be so kind as to give us a parting gift.
Isn’t that sweet of them? I’m going to take all my anger out on these chumps!
GaoGaiGar! I’m rushing to support you! Just tell me when you want to use the Goldion Hammer!
[All Brave Robots gain 20 will]
Counting on you, Goldy! Now, let’s go, Zonders!
Now isn’t that just the greatest thing you’ve ever seen? But now we’ve got a buttload of units to go through.
[Star GaoGaiGar]
Say hello to probably the best unit in the game, if not in the top 5. Not only is it a direct upgrade to GaoGaiGar in every single way, but he has two new toys to play with. His new finisher, “Hammer Hell and Heaven” is one of the strongest non-combo attacks in the game. He also gets a new special command in Gatling Driver. Any enemy hit by it cannot move for the rest of the turn. He’s not just end game viable, he’s end game ready.
[King J-Der (and J-Ark)]
Probably the greatest tank in the game thanks to its high armor and Generating Armor (reduces all incoming damage by 1500 for 10EN per attack). Not only that, but he has 8 ranged attacks that are extremely powerful, three pilots full of great Spirits, and a size of 2L. We don’t get to keep him after this stage, but you’d be a fool to not bring him into the end game. Its movement form, J-Ark, only has one attack, but it’s strong enough and with a large enough range that it doesn’t need anything else.
[ChoRyuJin]
An excellent combat support unit. His Double Gun attack can reduce the enemy's attack power. We love ChoRyuJin in this house. Shame he cannot be decombined like in SRW W.
[GekiRyuJin]
Another excellent combat support unit. Hurricane will reduce the enemy’s attack range and Van Ray will reduce their mobility. Also cannot be decombined like his brother.
[Big Volfogg]
Being a ninja, Big Volfogg has Holographic Camouflage, which activates at 130 will and gives him a chance to evade any incoming attack based on his skill stat. He also has the special command Melting Siren, which disables all barriers and armor ability for any enemy hit by its AoE (for 30 EN). He’s not quite as broken as in SRW W, but he’s still good.
[Mic Sounders XIII]
Mic has a repair kit, but that’s not his real value. His real value comes with the special command Disk-P, which will raise the will of all allies in an AoE by 10. Just use this at the start of every stage a few times and any challenge this game has goes out the window. This uses 30 EN, so max that out as soon as you can. This one action makes Mic one of the best units in the game.
[Goaron]
A more offensive version of the Gran Garan. It has a very powerful 8 ranged attack that complements Elle’s Charge Spirit very well.
Keen and Nie also join in their Botunes. They’re exactly like Marvel’s, complete with resupply modules.
Now the objective is to kick everyone’s ass! They’re just weak grunts, so go have fun!
SECRET ALERT
Soldato J Optional #1
Have J kill at least one enemy.
That may sound easy, and that’s because it is. Just make sure you do it, because it’s easy for him to get left behind if you rushed everyone up in the first part of the stage.
Everyone also has lines the first time they fight from this point on.
We’re not used to fighting enemies from the Upper Earth! Don’t let your guard down, Keen!
I know! We went through all this effort to reunite with Shou! We’re not going to let ourselves be shot down in a place like this!
Everyone’s hearts are filled with courage. We will not lose this battle.
Lady Elle is confident of our victory! Everyone, advance without fear!
GaoGaiGar… Falsaber… I’m so glad we were able to make it in time to save you… I, ChoRyuJin, will never be separated from them again! Ultra-Tech Engine, full power!
Our goal isn’t just to defeat the Zonders! Right now, we’re fighting to protect our allies’ lives! Let’s go, Zonder! We won’t let you lay a hand on our comrades!
We cannot rest until we’ve completed our mission! We will rise again and again and keep fighting for victory! For the future of the Earth!
I’m so happy to see Mamoru and GaoGaiGar again! I’m going to give the greatest Rock and Roll show to the Zonders too! Time to do my best!
Shou, Lady Elle and Nie are safe! Let’s finish this up fast so we can go see them!
I also want to see them! But this battle isn’t over yet! Let’s focus on making it through this first! Then we’ll be able to see them face to face!
…
Gorg, are you happy those GGG robots came? Heh, I feel the same way when I see Guy and Falsaber!
Jin! Asuka!
Everyone from GGG…are still alive!
Hehehe…
Jin, are you crying?
I-I’m not crying! Anyway, we have nothing to be afraid of! Let’s show them our absolutely invincible power!
My body is overflowing with power! This isn’t just from the newly installed Ultra-Tech Engine… Their courage is giving my G-Stone infinite power!
Heh, if that’s what it is, then it’s well worth our return! Come on! Let’s do it, GaoGaiGar!
Yeah! GaoGaiGar is invincible!
Mardoul must be somewhere on this planet! I can’t let myself get killed until I defeat him!
No matter how many times they fall, they rise again! So that’s what Earth’s heroes are like! I can’t lose either! As someone who also bears the title of hero, let’s fight together!
Even if they came on Commander Algreus’ orders, why isn’t the regular army here? Did something happen while we were away? I need to know more!
If Gundam is the savior, then should I save the people who were fused with the Primevals? Am I even strong enough to be the savior?
Despite shooting from such a long distance, they managed to blow away a Primeval. That main cannon is extremely powerful… But with their help, it should be easy to take down the remaining enemies!
Even though we’re no longer affected by that super gravity, the Primeval still escaped… I wish I could have done something about it, but if Mamoru can’t purify them, there’s nothing I can do!
Hmm… I can’t believe they defeated that Primeval… I’ve been saved like this once before… How nostalgic. Wait, this isn’t the time to reminisce about the past! I need to do my part to finish off the remaining grunts!
So the Goraon came to Upper Earth as well… I thought it sank just like the Zelerna.
Well, at least the others are still alive. Losing a ship or two isn’t the end of the world. More importantly, we can’t let them take all of our prey! Let’s finish this off quickly!
Guy… He looked really happy when the GGG robots appeared… That’s only natural when a friend who was supposed to be dead comes to the rescue. It’s just like an anime!
ChoRyuJin… Everyone…
Falsaber looks happy.
I’ll do my best too! Falsaber’s comrades are back, so I can’t show them a shameful display!
I can feel your strong will! Let me turn that into strength, Youta!
And the map ends when all enemies are defeated. No bosses to worry about.
Enemy mechs pacified.
All that’s left is the Primeval Core…
He’s got it!
Sorry, but I’m going to take this core!
Why are you stealing it, Soldato J!? Or rather, one of the Four Machine Kings of Zonder, Pizza!
One of the Four Machine Kings… He’s one of the Zonder commanders that attacked Tokyo six months ago!?
But he’s helped us out!
Cyborg, you’ve got two things wrong.
What!?
Firstly, I am Soldato J, currently fused with King J-Der. I have abandoned the name Pizza. Secondly, I’m merely collecting the Primeval Core. I am not stealing it.
You should know something too.
Kaidou…
You cannot purify the Primeval Core and return it to a Zonder Crystal.
Zonder Crystal?
You don’t know this even though you were created by Cain?
Who the heck is Cain?
You’re just like me. Your memories were sealed away.
Mamoru’s memories?
Let’s go, Arma.
Wait for me, Soldato J!
Warrior ZZ!?
Sir Alex, Sir Knight. Someday, our paths will cross again. Until then…
[J-Ark and Warrior ZZ leave]
ZZ…
[J-Ark, Bridge]
Why didn’t you rejoin your comrades?
Who knows? Seriously, I wonder sometimes…
YOU JOINED US WITHOUT KNOWING WHY?
Do you think you can defeat the 31 Machine Primevals all by yourself?
We are Abel’s warriors… I don’t really care about the fate of this blue planet.
…
So you have no intention of cooperating with the Earthlings? Then I’ll stick with you. There’s just three of us here anyway. One more won’t make a difference.
…Do whatever you like.
I think I will.
(Sir Alex… I’m going to travel with these guys. Please forgive my selfishness.)
[Goraon, Hangar]
Welcome back, Guy…
Mikoto!
[Guy goes in for the hug]
Kyaa!
H-how bold of you, Guy…
S-slow down, Guy… Everyone’s watching.
You’re alive… You’re really…
I’m sorry for worrying you, Guy.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen Guy like this…
This is what happens when you thought someone was dead but they were really alive…
I’m sorry I haven’t been able to fulfill my duty to protect you for the last six months, Chief.
Volfogg… Everyone’s… Everyone’s back… Uuuu…
Don’t cry, Mamoru. If you cry, then I’ll… I’ll also… WAAAAHHHHHHHH!
…
You should go too, Falsaber. You missed them too, didn’t you?
…No, it’s fine. I shouldn’t interrupt GGG’s reunion.
Falsaber…
To think you’d become this heartless while we were sleeping.
Stop talking nonsense and join the party.
HyouRyuu… EnRyuu…
They’ve all missed you too, you know.
Yeah… Thanks!
[Falsaber joins the reunion party]
…Though he never said so out loud, he was always worried about his GGG buddies…
It’s hard to not be able to do anything but worry…
Huh?
Ahaha… Sorry. I’m gonna hang out with Mina. I’m a bit worried about her.
Yuki?
[Yuki walks off]
Falsaber, HyouRyuu, and EnRyuu are the same as ever. Aren’t you feeling a bit lonely now that your brothers have been taken away?
I’ve heard they were all comrades in arms together. I’m sure their reunion is a happy one.
(FuuRyuu. GaoGaiGar. CV: Shinichi Yamada)
Well, I admit I am a bit jealous.
So you two make up GekiRyuJin?
According to the data, they appear to be the same models as HyouRyuu and EnRyuu, but are more specialized for combat.
Even so, it’s GGG China’s policy, who created us, to always prioritize saving lives.
You’re worthy of the G-Stone’s power, for you’re also heroes of GGG.
Man, it was a pain in the butt to make it here. The HRL suddenly attacked us, saying “We need to eliminate unknown robots”.
(TL Note: Human Reform League, one of the nations from Gundam 00 encompassing the east half of Asia excluding Japan.)
Keen! It’s been so long! I missed you!
Please don’t jump on me from out of nowhere. It startles me.
I’m sorry about that. At the time, our programming gave priority to HRL’s policies, but...
It’s all in the past. We know you’re different now.
It seems your thinking is a lot more flexible. Did something change you after coming to Upper Earth?
We were struggling to survive. That can change a man.
Where’s Shou? Shouldn’t he be here?
He’s on the bridge with Queen Ceila. I’m sure he’s curious about Drake’s movements.
Dad!
I have a few things to explain to you about what happened to us and the current state of the Earth Sphere.
[Goraon, Bridge]
So you’re the “Gutsy Galaxy Guard” now?
Yes. That’s the name of the new GGG after the old one was obliterated with the Bay Tower Base.
(Phone)
And so, here we are at “Orbit Base”, a space station for defense against extraterrestrial life.
(Phone)
To think such a facility was hidden in Earth’s orbit…
We used a variety of methods to hide from the enemy including optical and holographic camouflage.
(Phone)
Hey, wait a second! How come I’ve never heard about this!?
The construction of Orbit Base is top secret, even within the Federation military. Only a few knew about it.
(Phone)
There are quite a few Vagan spies within the army, so it’s only natural.
That’s why we, members of GGG America, and the Bay Tower Base, who managed to escape from the attack, were unable to contact you.
(Phone)
But why did you go through all that trouble and then expose yourself now?
…It’s because of the 31 Machine Primevals’ attack.
The 31 Machine Primevals… You mean those guys we just fought?
They’re the creators of the Zondarians we fought six months ago. After you teleported away, they suddenly invaded the Earth Sphere using a method of travel called an ES Window.
But thanks to the efforts of the newly awakened Brave Robot Army, we were able to fend them off just in time!
(Phone)
Even though they invaded Earth, we destroyed them down to their cores. They won’t be able to regenerate anytime soon.
Excluding the one retrieved by the White Battleship, there are 27 more of them somewhere on Earth…
Lady Ceila, Shou Zama, the country of Rau is cooperating with them. We owe it to the people of Upper Earth.
After we appeared in the HRL territory, we only were able to escape unscathed thanks to Commander Algreus.
Commander Algreus sent you?
Making calm decisions even in unexpected situations… His leadership skills seem to be intact.
…It’s unfortunate, but he’s recently retired from active duty.
What the hell!?
As you probably know, the former Commander of the current army has to strike a balance between appeasing the conservatives, who wish to maintain the current system, and the reformists, who support you.
I see… Using the fall of the Big Ring as an excuse, the conservatives gained political power…
Yes. Currently, someone chosen by the conservatives is in charge.
I’ll send you a detailed report later, but the Vist Foundation was leading the charge of these personnel changes.
Is that so… That damned vixen is making a huge mistake.
To keep the military from turning against itself, he’s been appointed as Assistant Commander, but in reality, it’s a complete change in leadership.
The conservatives will keep gaining power within the military, which might cause some changes. This may impact our troops as well.
Nope. Commander Algreus foresaw this happening.
Huh?
There exists a peacekeeping force that can act independently, much like Londo Bell. Its name is…
It’s time to name the squad! The canon name is “Bright-ix” or something like that, which is stupid. Now you’d think I’d just keep tradition and name the squad “The BoyX” to incorporate the BX abbreviation, but that’s not the case this time. We’re going with…
Brave Cross. Special thanks to Ede on Discord for suggesting an amazing name.
Brave Cross…
Yes. BX for short.
Its purpose and course of action is to respond to any crises in the Earth Sphere. It’s composed of us, the country of Rau, and those in GGG. And also…
Us, right?
Huh? Us too!?
You didn’t expect this?
I mean it’s Algreus we’re talking about. I’d like to think something like this would have happened sooner or later. He was always worried about the future of the Earth Sphere.
Aisha, please contact the SMS branch on Earth.
You’ll be joining us then?
Yes. Although we live in different parts of the galaxy, we’re also citizens of Earth. Our course is clear.
Lady Ceila, us too…
I know, Shou Zama. We, the people of Byston Well, are one of the causes for the current chaos in the Earth Sphere. We must bear responsibility for that.
Jojo and I will cooperate. We’ve brought the war on Earst to your planet.
I appreciate everyone’s help.
So, have you gathered any information on Drake’s movements or Mardoul’s army yet?
We still don’t know where this so-called Mardoul Army is, but we do know about Drake’s army.
They’re currently fighting the Vagans in AEU.
(TL Note: Advanced European Union, another nation from Gundam 00 that encompasses Europe)
T-the Earthlings are….
Vagan’s goals… We need to achieve Edeeeeeeen!
These are the Vagans? If they’re having such a hard time against these guys, the federal army is garbage!

What incredible power… She’s like a modern day Jeanne d’Arc!
I don’t like it… Calling a normal lass from Dublin Jeanne d’Arc is a bit…
Hmm. When we first came to the surface, they were treating her like an alien. Now they’re calling her a saint. They sure are easygoing.

We’ll force our way to the Vagan Base. Make way for the Gyre-Garing!
(Bishott Hatt. Dunbine. CV: Kazuyuki Sogabe)
Isn’t the Country of Ku’s flagship too powerful?
(Fei Chenka. Dunbine. CV: Koichi Hashimoto)
I know you want to make your presence felt on the battlefield, but I think it’s too early for that.
(Allen Brady. Dunbine. CV: Norio Wakamoto)
You Aura Battlers just need to let loose a little.
(Hmph. So says the guy who was doing whatever he wanted before Drake set out to take over AEU.)
If we don’t show results here, the reputations of the Countries of Ah and Ku will remain unchanged. Therefore, we must…
J-JERYLLLLLLLL!
W-what the heck!?
I-it’s Vagans! Apparently they were hiding in the sand!
(Bishott’s Soldier)
Hunting is about luring your prey straight to their demise!
Tch. We’re surrounded.
(You think I’m gonna die here? I’ll survive for you, Mom!)
I’m not kidding around! You face me, Fei Chenka!
Like I give a damn!
Impossible… Two Aura Battlers were shot down…
Hahahaha! Go wild!
W-what!?
Who’re they!?
Warriors from another world! In accordance with the orders of our leader, Mardoul, I will assist you!
[Command Tank, Bathroom]
Mardoul, it seems those otherworldly warriors have agreed to form an alliance with us.
Even though we took advantage of the battle, I thought that negotiations would be more difficult.
Their leader, Drake, is a tougher man than I thought. Have there been any new developments about them?
No, none at the moment. They might not have reached the planet yet.
If my guess is correct, then we probably still have the advantage.
But the fact that they were there means they must have some kind of idea as to our purpose.
The use of force to intervene in the affairs of other planets is supposed to be forbidden. Once you break that taboo, their response is obvious.
Long distance interstellar voyage, complete. No issues anywhere. That consumed more energy than I expected… I guess it’s to be expected when traveling that many light years. But…
[Looks at the planet]
This is Earth… Now noble and beautiful…
(Just like you, Hilmuka…)
Hmm? A biological reaction nearby? But there’s only wreckage around here…
Damn, I’ve lost control!
Uwaaaaaaaa!
…
(???)
