Super Robot Wars/64/Story/Stage 01BS

Brad: Master...

Kurtz: Brad, how long are you going to keep moping like that? Master isn’t coming back, and there’s work to do around here.

Brad: Kurtz...but...

Kurtz: I’m fed up with how weak you are! Master would be sobbing in his grave if he saw you like this. I’m ready, I’m getting out of here. We still need to fight and train more, and there’s no reason for me to be dragged down by a pussy like you! Stay here crying for as long as you want!

Kurtz: Ugh, what was that?!?

Brad: Sounds like a battle! I heard some guerillas were using the nearby town as a base...

Kurtz: I'll go check it out, Brad.

Scenario 1: To Battle! Hot-blooded Fighters

Great General of Darkness: Fwahaha! Excellent! Show these Muge Zorbados people the full power of Mycenae!

Brad: Too bad, they’re way too strong for those rebels to defeat.

Kurtz: Yeah...it’s just a matter of time until they’re totally crushed. It would be good to watch from here and see how powerful they are before we rush in.

Brad: What?!? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Let’s go out in the Earthgain and Vairose! Or have you already forgotten our Master’s dying words?

Kurtz: You idiot! There’s no way those guerillas can win! Now listen to what I’m saying and grow up a little!

Brad: But, what will happen to the people in the city?!? I’m going out! EARTHGAAAIN!!!

Kurtz: Hmpf, well you always have been simpleton. Fine, anyway this might be the perfect time to practice my technique.

Brad: Stay right where you are, you bastards!

Great General of Darkness: What, who is this?!? You’re no match for us!

Brad: Shut up! How dare you put the innocent people of this town in danger! That’s just wrong! Come face us; we’ll be your opponents!

Great General of Darkness: Grr, how dare you speak to the Great General of Darkness like this! If you want to die so badly, I’ll send you both to Hell myself! Go!

- TURNS LATER -

???: Ho ho, look at those gallant young men.

???: Yep, looks like they beat me to the punch. I think we might have found some good traveling companions!

- TURNS LATER -

Brad: Damn, they just keep coming one after another!

???: I’m not sure they’re going to be able to make it.

???: Looks like that’s one enemy too many for them. Guess I’ll join in!

Banjo: COOOME HERE! DAITAAARN 3!!!

Kurtz: What?!? More reinforcements!

Banjo: Hold on, I am Banjo Haran of the anti-Empire group Karaba. I’m here to help.

Brad: What the hell?!?

Banjo: I’m an ally. I also came here to defeat these guys.

Brad: Good. You talk big, so let's see if your fists can match your mouth.

Banjo: Now that’s a tall order. To fight for the people of Earth, to smash the dreams of the Muge Zorbados Empire, Daitarn 3 is here! Unless you fear the sun’s brilliance, come face me!

- GREAT GENERAL OF DARKNESS DEFEATED -

Great General of Darkness: Guuu, pesky humans. I won't forget this!

Brad: Hm, this guy is all bark and no bite. Looks like he's finished.

- BATTLE END -

Banjo: Allow me to introduce myself again. I’m Banjo Haran of Karaba, and this is...

Garrison: My name is Garrison Tokita; I’m Mr. Haran’s butler. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Kurtz: I’m Kurtz Forneus of the Buki Hakuen-ryu School.

Brad: And I’m Brad Skywind of the Buki Hakuen-ryu School. No need to thank me, Mr Banjo!

Banjo: No problem, Brad. Just “Banjo” is fine! I don’t mean to be rude, but what is Buki Hakuen-ryu?

Brad: Our Master, Viro Sunda, created that style. It’s a robot fighting style designed for hand-to-hand combat. My Earthgain and Kurtz’s Vairose are specially designed for it.

Kurtz: It might not be famous now, but someday everyone in the Earth Sphere will know its name! We’ll spread its name with our fists!

-

Kurtz: You look like a rich guy, but wouldn’t that make you a Class A citizen in the Empire?

Banjo: Yes, usually that would be the case. It’s a bit complicated. I wasn’t famous before the war, you see. That’s why they didn’t find me and seize my assets. I’ve been providing aid to anti-Imperial movements and even created my own. In the eyes of the Empire, I’m not even a Class C citizen.

Brad: Well as long as you’re not on the Empire’s side, you’re fine by me! So why did you help us out?

Banjo: Oh, I should’ve mentioned this already. To be honest, I’d like to ask you to join us. My organization has been broadening the range of our activities, but we don’t have enough robots or pilots to take on the Empire directly. I’ve already seen that you have spirit and vigor to do battle with the Empire. I definitely want you to come with us! If your plan is to fight the Empire anyway, then that should work out for both of us, don’t you think?

Brad: I only have one question. What you’re doing is for the sake of the people, right? You’re fighting for justice?

Banjo: Of course, we fight for all people on Earth.

Brad: I’m in! Kurtz, you’re coming too, right?

Kurtz: ...Sure. I’ll go with you.

Banjo: Right, it’s settled! We’ll be working together from now on, Brad Skywind, Kurtz. If there’s anything you need, just tell me and I’ll tell Garrison.

Brad: Just call me Brad! So, what’s the plan?

Banjo: First, we need to go visit one of the scientists doing research for Karaba.

Brad: Eh? You guys do stuff like that AND fight?

Garrison: The Empire keeps close watch on scientists, especially ones engaged in energy-related research. We have some engineers and doctors who had research facilities in Japan; when the Muge Zorbados Empire came we helped them to escape and go into hiding.

Brad: Oh okay. So this doctor guy, where is he?

Banjo: He’s in Qatar now. My assistant is checking in on him.

Brad: Assistant? Man, you must be loaded!

Banjo: Yeah, I'll introduce you later.

Kurtz: So, what is this doctor researching?

Banjo: Photonic energy!
