Namco × Capcom/Story/S22:Stage
《Busshitsukai: The Third Moon - Earth Comprehensive Control Section》
Hiryu: "...I'll have you take me to your boss."
Hien: "Give up, Hiryu!"
Hien: "Our... the Strider's battle is already over!"
Hiryu: "...Over, you say? 'He' is still alive... and so are you and I."
(Hiryu moves next to Hien)
Hiryu: "I don't have time to play with you."
(Hiryu attacks Hien, but Hien blocks the attack)
Hien: "Ugh... Hiryu, your end is..."
Hiryu: "It's obvious... until one of us dies."
Hien: "Hiryu, this is pointless!"
Hien: "That person created everything in this world...!"
Hien: "'The Third Moon,' the nations of Earth, the military, and the Striders."
Hien: "Me, and you too!"
Hien: "Stop this foolishness, Hiryu!"
Hien: "...I don't want to fight my comrade...!"
Hiryu: "Don't spout such amateurish words."
Hien: "Ugh!"
Hiryu: "Where is 'he'...?"
Hiryu: "He shouldn't be able to move from this section."
Hien: "That person... is now trying to peer into a new world."
Hien: "I won't let you interfere!"
Hiryu: "The Super Criminal Scumocide... is that the result of his research? I'm not interested."
Hien: "That's not all. This time-space transfer..."
Hien: "Even that is all within that person's grasp...!"
Hiryu: "That's why you're just a lapdog."
Hiryu: "If you don't want to talk, fine. ...Die."
[Stage Title Card]
Hiryu and Hien each take 2 actions
(Tong Pooh appears)
Tong Pooh: "It seems you're having a tough time, Hien."
Hien: "Tong Pooh? Don't get in my way."
Hien: "I'll settle things with Hiryu...!"
Tong Pooh: " 'That person' desires a complete victory. Your convenience is irrelevant."
Tong Pooh: "...You wouldn't claim to be unaware of that, would you?"
Tong Pooh: "Besides, there are intruders in each block... We have to eliminate them as well."
[Anti-Gravity Passage]
Tong Pooh: "The 13th gate, where I first went, was already infiltrated by the Commando Team."
Tong Pooh: "They're not opponents you can deal with easily, Hien."
Hien: "...Damn it..."
Hiryu: "...It doesn't matter how many weaklings gather together."
Hiryu: "If you get in my way... I'll kill you."
Tong Pooh: "Don't talk nonsense, Strider! Even you can't kill these people!"
(Goblin, 2 Golems, Fairy, and 3 Gremlins appear)
Tong Pooh: "Gnosis are impervious to physical attacks!"
Hiryu: "...Gnosis...?"
Hien: "That's right, Hiryu. With 'that person's' power, creating Gnosis is..."
???: "Easy... is that what you're saying?"
???: "This isn't a peaceful conversation, is it?"
Hiryu: "..."
Tong Pooh: "What...!?"
Hien: "Who are you!"
(Captain Commando appears)
Captain: "Captain Commando has arrived...!"
Tong Pooh: "Could it be... you've come here... Captain Commando!?"
Hien: "...Should I consider this a stroke of luck, saving me the trouble of searching?"
Hiryu: "What are you doing here?"
Hiryu: "Commando Team... Are you planning to interfere with me?"
Captain: "My being here is actually a coincidence. I have no intention of interfering with you, Strider."
Captain: "However..."
Hiryu: "However?"
Captain: "Given my position, I can't overlook villains. ...That's all."
Hien: "What...? You're calling me a villain... Captain Commando?"
Captain: "That's right."
Captain: "The man who betrayed the 'Striders' and sided with the Grandmaster Meio... Former Special A-Class Strider, Hien."
Hiryu: "...If you know that much, you should understand my objective."
Hiryu: "Don't interfere. ...This is my mission."
Captain: "I'd like you to hear me out to the end."
Captain: "Your boasted Cypher won't work against Gnosis... What are you going to do?"
Hiryu: "Hien and the woman... I'll eliminate them and withdraw."
Hiryu: "...I can search for 'him' afterward."
Captain: "I see, well, that makes sense."
Captain: "But... there's another way."
Hiryu: "What...?"
Hien: (What...? Could he be talking about the Gnosis...?)
Tong Pooh: "Captain Commando, this is a good opportunity. The rat that's been secretly snooping around us... will be dealt with right here...!"
Captain: "Is that so?"
Captain: "Sorry to keep you waiting, it's your turn!"
(KOS-MOS appears)
KOS-MOS: "Affirmative."
KOS-MOS: "Deploying Hilbert Effect."
(Hilbert Effect deployed)
Hiryu: "This...is the Hilbert Effect...!"
Tong Pooh: "Impossible...! There's someone else here who can use the Hilbert Effect?!"
Hien: "To think that such an android would have Hilbert implemented in it...!"
Captain: "Hehehe... Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
(Gilgamesh & Ki, Arthur, and Stahn & Rutee appear)
Rutee: "Seriously, what are you trying to show off?! I want to meet up with my comrades as soon as possible!"
Stahn: "It's fine, don't get angry, Rutee..."
Arthur: "Hmm. But, thanks to that exaggerated performance, we were able to find out a lot."
Gil: "Yes, she said, 'There's someone else here who can use the Hilbert Effect.'"
Ki: "It seems like she was talking about Momo."
Captain: "The name of the Commando Team was also mentioned earlier."
Captain: "It seems everyone is gathering at 'The Third Moon'."
Hien: (Comrades...?)
Hien: (Damn... to allow them to infiltrate this far...)
Tong Pooh: "Hmph, the Gnosis are undamaged! What can you do with just that many people!"
Ki: "They're coming, Gil."
Gil: "Yeah, but if attacks work, we can fight."
Gil: "By the way, Captain. Can we consider him an ally?"
Captain: "Yes, a reliable ally. There's no time for introductions, but I think he'll gladly cooperate."
Hiryu: "..."
Rutee: "Such a weak reaction!"
Stahn: "Is he really okay?"
Arthur: "Well, it's fine as long as he's not an enemy."
Tong Pooh: "Attack!"
KOS-MOS: "The enemy seems to have begun their actions. We will initiate counter-attack actions."
Hien: "Hiryu... it's not too late."
Hien: "...Come with me. A man like you, even that person..."
Hiryu: "...Don't speak, Hien."
Hiryu: "My mission... is not yet over."
7 enemies remain or Hien's HP falls below 50%
KOS-MOS: "Multiple heat sources are approaching."
Hiryu: "...What?"
Captain: "That's not good... Could it be enemy reinforcements?"
(The rest of your team appears)
Hien: "What...!?"
Mitsurugi: "Tch... Seriously, how far does this iron mansion even extend?"
Sakura: "We've come out into a wide open area?"
Sakura: "Are they... fighting?"
Ki: "Everyone, you're all safe!"
Ryu: "As you can see. I'm glad we could regroup."
Rutee: "I'd like to say I'm relieved... but aren't we quite a few short?"
Gil: "What about the others!?"
Hideo: "...Unfortunately, it's just us here."
Kurino: "Finding everyone is going to be a tough job..."
Tong Pooh: "These guys are different from the ones I met at Gate 13... How many of them have infiltrated...?"
Hien: "...It can't be helped, we'll take them all out at once."
Kyoko: "It seems you're quite busy."
Karin: "This isn't exactly the atmosphere for celebrating a reunion."
Jin: "Ah, there are some monsters I've seen before. We have no choice but to fight here."
Arthur: "That's right. We're surrounded by enemies."
Arthur: "Let's all work together..."
Sabine: "Well, actually, our situation isn't much different either."
Stahn: "Huh? What does that mean?"
(Shtrom Jr. appears)
Sturm Jr.: "So this is where you intruders have been hiding...!"
Sakura: "...Looks like we've been caught."
Stahn: "S-So that's what you meant..."
Rutee: "Hey, what are you doing?! The enemy numbers have increased!"
Mitsurugi: "Stop complaining. We just have to cut them down."
Captain: "It's rough, but... that seems to be the only way."
Captain: "...Besides, it saves me the trouble of searching."
Captain: "Isn't that right, Sturm Jr."
Sturm Jr.: "You're... Captain Commando?! Why are you here?!"
Hien: "...Sturm Jr. Tong Pooh confirmed the other Commando team members."
Hien: "Let's finish this quickly and wipe out the intruders."
Sturm Jr.: "Understood. Then... I'll test these guys!"
(Juni (Doppel), Juli (Doppel), Cammy (Doppel), M. Bison (Doppel) and Heihachi Mishima (Doppel) appear)
Hiryu: "Test them...? Just those five people?"
KOS-MOS: "Data search. The group includes individuals we have encountered before."
???: "..."
Sakura: "That guy with the cleft chin, and those girls...! They're from Shadaloo, aren't they!?"
Ryu: "Bison...!? Why are you here?!"
Arthur: "An acquaintance? From the looks of it, they don't seem like ordinary people..."
Ryu: "But is that really... him? I don't feel any 'ki' from him..."
Hideo: "Now that you mention it, you're right. I fought those children before... but the quality of their 'ki' seems different."
Captain: "As expected of a martial artist. You're not fooled by people who only put on a facade."
Kurino: "Put on a facade...? Captain, do you... know about them?"
Captain: "...The Super Criminal Doppel. They're impersonating them using a special device."
[Woglinde - Bridge]
Captain: "Shtrom Jr. met Vega and the others on the Woglinde before..."
Captain: "Most likely, he recorded the data at that time."
Jin: "I thought something was strange... So that's it."
Kyoko: "Kazama... What's wrong?"
Doppel: "..."
Karin: "Heihachi... Mishima!? Why are you here!?"
Gil: "I don't know who he is... but isn't he a fake too?"
Jin: "...A fake... Yes, there's no doubt he's a fake..."
Ki: "Jin...?"
Shtrom Jr.: "Stop making such a fuss...! These guys are nothing more than tools to defeat you!"
Hiryu: "I'm tired of your rambling. ...Come on."
Captain: "That's how it is."
Captain: "There's no change in the fact that we have to fight!"
Ryu: "Understood. ...We'll defeat them!"
Jin: "..."
Jin (Heihachi Mishima's data... Where did they record it?)
Jin (If they recorded the Shadaloo data on the Woglinde...)
Jin (Heihachi Mishima... Was he there too...?)
One of the Doppels defeated
KOS-MOS: "Changes have been observed in the enemy's body tissue."
Rutee: "Changes? What changed?"
Captain: "It's more accurate to say that it returned to its original form..."
Stahn: "To its original form...?"
M. Bison
Ryu: "As expected, a fake is just a fake... Bison wouldn't be defeated so easily..."
Heihachi Mishima
Jin: "Doppel... I believe you called it. What a cunning trickster."
Jin: "Heihachi Mishima wouldn't be defeated by something like this...!"
Cammy/Juni/Juli
Sakura: "These girls... were they always this weak?"
Karin: "They're just terrible, inferior copies."
Hideo: "This is an unbelievable technology, isn't it? Their appearance, their mannerisms... everything is perfect."
Mitsurugi: "But, I fought the real thing before... Compared to that, this is nothing special."
Captain: "It's just a copy... a shoddy imitation created by a criminal superhuman. But we can't let them run wild."
Sabine: "But it does seem a little interesting."
Kurino: "I don't think it's that fun. ...Just think about how it could be used for evil."
Arthur: "Actually, I can only think of bad things it could be used for."
Sakura: "Buying multiple items of a limited-time sale item that's supposed to be one per customer...!"
Karin: "...The scale of the evil is too small."
Ryu: "I think I kind of understand why Shadaloo teamed up with these guys..."
Kyoko: "So they're after this technology, huh?"
Jin: (Is Heihachi Mishima involved too...?)
Jin: (No, if he were to get involved himself... it wouldn't be for something as insignificant as this technology...)
Gil: "Everyone, there are still more imposters left. Let's take them down."
Kai: "You're right, Gil. We'd be in trouble if they impersonated us..."
Hiryu: "...Let's finish them off."
Hien defeated
Hien: "Ugh... I misjudged my opponent's strength...!"
Hiryu: "...Hien, you're an eyesore. Die here."
Hien: "That won't happen...! If I die here... the meaning of abandoning the Striders will be lost...!"
Hiryu: "..."
Hiryu: "Tell 'him'... I'm the hunter, and you're the hunted."
Hiryu: "Hien... next time, come at me with everything you've got."
Hien: "Hiryu..."
(Hien retreats)
Kurino: "Ah, he escaped!?"
Gil: "He could still move that much!?"
KOS-MOS: "...Target lost."
Sabine: "That's incredible speed. ...Wasn't he supposed to be weakened?"
Ki: "But, that person..."
Karin: "That's right. ...Is that alright? Judging by his clothes and weapons, he's your..."
Hiryu: "...That's none of your business."
Sakura: "Hey, that's kind of rude, isn't it? We're worried about you..."
Kyoko: "Kasugano, everyone has their own reasons, you know?"
Hiryu: "..."
Hiryu: (Everyone has their own reasons, huh?)
Hiryu: (...Hien, whatever your thoughts are, the Striders' mission is absolute...)
Tong Pooh defeated
Hiryu: "...I don't have time to play with you."
Hiryu: "Where is 'he'?"
Tong Pooh: "Hah! Are you an idiot?! Do you really think someone like you can get close to that person?"
Tong Pooh: "The world is in 'that person's' hands!"
Hiryu: "...If you don't know, then fine. You're a loser. Stop barking."
Tong Pooh: "...Damn it... Remember this... Strider!"
(Tong Pooh retreats)
Shtrom Jr. defeated
Captain: "Give up, Shtrom Jr.!"
Shtrom Jr.: "Ugh... Don't get cocky, Captain Commando!"
Mitsurugi: "He can still talk, huh? He's a tough guy."
Arthur: "We can't even see his expression. Is it working, or not...?"
Jin: "Actually, this is just about right."
Jin: "...Tell me. Where did you meet Heihachi Mishima?"
Shtrom Jr.: "Mishima? I don't know him. Besides, there's no reason for me to tell you."
Jin: "...Then I'll force it out of you. I'll make you talk willingly...!"
Ryu: "What's wrong? You're being too hasty, Jin."
Jin: "Stay out of this. I'll get it out of him..."
Shtrom Jr.: (Now's my chance...!)
(Shtrom Jr. retreats)
Stahn: "Ah, that guy!"
Rutee: "Hey Jin! Ryu! What are you doing?! He got away!"
Ryu: "I-I'm sorry..."
Captain: "Well, well, he's just one of the members, after all."
Captain: "And his involvement with Shadaloo doesn't seem to be of his own volition."
Hideo: "The superior who's manipulating him from behind the scenes... We need to apprehend him."
Jin: (That monster Shtrom's attitude... Judging from that, there's no direct connection.)
Jin: (Then, where is he, and what is he doing...? Heihachi Mishima...!)
6 enemies remain
KOS-MOS: "Multiple flying objects approaching from above."
Shtrom Jr.: "They're here."
Hien: "...They're late."
Hideo: "From above?!"
Tong Pooh: "They're late...! What are they dawdling for...!"
Arthur: "Annoying guys coming from all directions. Soon, they'll probably start crawling out of the ground like zombies, too, won't they?"
Sabine: "The ground is made of iron, though."
(Solo, 4 Solo Mass Produced Models, and 4 Blue Snipers appear on top of the central tower, and therefore out of bounds)
???: "..."
Mitsurugi: "They've arrived, have they? Tsk... every single one of them is carrying a flamethrower."
Captain: "Hmm. They certainly look like the defense force of this place."
Hiryu: "...Solo."
Solo: "Target confirmed. Data matching..."
Solo: "Matches 'Striders' member, Special A Class Strider... Hiryu."
Solo: "By order of Grandmaster Meio, I will carry out the mission to completely eliminate Strider Hiryu."
(Solo and the other reinforcements descend onto the map)
Gil: "You know about Hiryu...? It seems you have some kind of history with him."
Karin: "First Bison, then Heihachi Mishima... A lot of grudges this time around."
Hiryu: "Solo, I'm not interested in your mission. ...Where is he... where is Grandmaster Meio?"
Solo: "...That person has already left this place."
Hiryu: "...What?"
Captain: "Grandmaster Meio... abandoned 'The Third Moon'!?!"
Hien: "I told you before, Hiryu. ...That person is trying to peer into a new world."
Hiryu: (What kind of thing is it that's so important...?)
Rutee: "Hey! Explain it so we can understand!"
Sakura: "Isn't it better to listen to the whole story first?"
Solo: "There's no need for explanation. I will delete everything here."
Jin: "Don't be ridiculous. We won't let you do that so easily."
Jin: "Heihachi Mishima's data... I'll make you tell me exactly where you recorded it...!"
Ryu: "Yes. We'll also make you tell us how involved you are with Shadaloo..."
Solo: "There is no information you can obtain."
Solo: "...Didn't you hear me? I said, 'I will delete everything'."
Mitsurugi: "Delete? What are you talking about?"
Kyoko: "Delete... as in erase...?"
Kyoko: "No way...!"
(The entire building shakes, and there are sounds of explosions.)
Kurino: "Whoa!? What's with this shaking!?"
Stahn: "I have a terrible feeling about this..."
Ki: "What's happening!?"
Hiryu: "Solo, you..."
Solo: "That person has decided to self-destruct 'The Third Moon' and eliminate all of you at once."
Karin: "No way...! Self-destruct!?"
Sakura: "Y-you're lying!?"
KOS-MOS: "It appears to be true. The scan results confirm an abnormal increase in energy."
Rutee: "Hey, you! You should be panicking a little more!"
Stahn: "This isn't the time to be angry, Rutee!"
Sabine: "That's right. We have to escape immediately, Kurino!"
Kurino: "Ah, but..."
Solo: "...That won't happen. My mission is to keep you all here."
Solo: "This is your grave, Strider."
Hiryu: "Don't talk nonsense. ...I'll finish you off and get out of here."
Hideo: "B-But, how...?"
Kyoko: "We don't even know where the exit is..."
Arthur: "We should think about that later. ...Anyway, we have to do something about these guys, otherwise we can't move."
Jin: "Yeah, there's no time. ...Get out of the way."
Ki: "Will we make it in time? With this many of them..."
Gil: "No, it seems Solo... he's the leader of this unit."
Ryu: "Yeah, take out the leader... and break through at once!"
Solo: "...Stop your futile resistance."
Hien: "Is this also part of that person's plan...? Solo, I'm falling back. I'm leaving it to you."
Hien: "Hiryu, this is the end for you. We... probably won't meet again."
(Hien retreats)
Tong Pooh: "I wanted to finish him off myself... damn it."
(Tong Pooh retreats)
Shtrom Jr.: "This is the end of the Commando Team! Hahahahahaha!"
(Shtrom Jr. retreats)
Hiryu: "No matter who it is, I won't let anyone get in my way..."
Hiryu: "The circumstances don't matter. I will... complete the mission."
Solo defeated
Solo: "Damage level exceeds the limit... Mission failed..."
Hiryu: "...With that level of skill, you can't take my head."
Solo: "...I bought some time. It doesn't change the fact that you're going to die."
Hiryu: "..."
Solo: "I'm withdrawing from 'The Third Moon'."
(Solo retreats)
(All remaining enemies retreat)
Stan: "Alright! We managed to drive them away!"
Sabine: "That's not good at all. ...If things continue like this, we'll all be blown to smithereens!"
Jin: "Damn it, I can't die in a place like this...! Let's get out of here!"
[The Third Moon - Entrance]
Captain: "Anyway, if we can just get to the outer shell and get our hands on a spaceship..."
KOS-MOS: "I've picked up an SOS signal."
Sakura: "Huh? An SOS?"
Sakura: "I'm the one who wants to send an SOS!"
Hideo: "Now, now, Kasugano. ...KOS-MOS, where is it coming from?"
KOS-MOS: "It's coming from a point 2 kilometers away in a straight line. The sender is from the United Galactic Space Force U.G.S.F. ...Hiromi Tengenji."
Arthur: "Tengenji... Ah, that girl who rides the red iron horse?"
Ryu: "They're scattered all over the place, but it seems everyone is safe."
Gil: "In this situation... do they all know that this place is going to explode?"
(Shaking and a distant explosion sound)
Ruti: "They must be feeling this shaking... so they probably realize it, right?"
Kurino: "Yes, we all have to escape. Let's hurry and meet up."
Hiryu: "..."
(Hiryu moves to the southern point of the map)
Kyoko: "Oh? Hey, you! Uh..."
Captain: "Wait, Strider!"
Hiryu: "..."
Hiryu: "...The route to the outer shell is this way. Go ahead if you want to."
Kai: "Thank you. ...But what about you?"
Hiryu: "...I have a mission."
Captain: "Well, won't you wait a moment? ...You've seen our abilities, haven't you?"
Captain: "What do you think? I think things would go more smoothly for you if you acted together with us."
Hiryu: "..."
Hiryu: "...And for you guys too, right?"
Captain: "As expected, you're quick on the uptake."
Hiryu: "...I'll think about it. Let's go."
(Hiryu retreats)
Mitsurugi: "What a roundabout way of doing things. He could have just said, 'Come with me,' couldn't he?"
Karin: "That's what you call negotiation. Honestly... I can't believe he's doing this in this situation."
(Distant explosion sound)
Arthur: "Whoa! This is getting seriously bad."
Rutee: "Let's hurry and chase after that grumpy guy and get outside!"
Stahn: "Okay! ...Will we be able to catch up?"
KOS-MOS: "No problem. I am tracing Strider's movement path."
Captain: "That's impressive. ...Alright, let's go. I'm counting on you for directions, KOS-MOS."
