Super Robot Wars/64/Story/Stage 08

Note: The following script is based on the Selene version of the stage. Dialogue may vary significantly when playing as other characters.

Bright: Any sign of the enemy?

David: They’re still in hot pursuit. These guys are hard to shake off!

Roux: They just won’t give up!

Bright: In the end escape may be impossible...we may have no choice but to launch a counter-attack.

Roux: I think so.

-

Apolly: Captain! Enemy high-speed transport approaching, fast!

Bright: What?!? Man all guns! Pilots, get to the flight deck!

Roux: Captain, please hold on. The enemy is transmitting a surrender signal.

Bright: Surrender??? Who is it?

Roux: They say their name is Lieutenant Emma Sheen of the Specials.

Bright: Emma Sheen...and they're alone?

David: Confirmed, the enemy is flying a white flag. What should we do?

Bright: Let them board, but watch them very carefully.

-

Emma: I’m Emma Sheen. Thank you for letting me board your vessel.

Kamille: Lieutenant Emma Sheen...

Quattro: The Specials carefully screen their recruits for commitment to their ideology, and it’s the polar opposite of our beliefs.. I find this “change of heart” hard to believe.

Emma: I suppose it is unusual, isn’t it? I understand where you’re coming from.

Quattro: What prompted you to want to leave the Specials? Specifically, I mean what happened in your heart?

Emma: Nothing in my heart has changed; I just want to continue following the path I believe in, and that’s what led me here.

Selene: You call yourself a principled person? How very noble of you. But you can’t expect me to believe that you didn't know how crooked the Specials are.

Emma: You’re right, I can’t say I didn’t know. Let me put it this way: you look like an experienced fighter to me. Can you honestly tell me that you've never been involved with some shady characters too at some point?

Quattro: Please, both of you, stop. Lieutenant Emma, unfortunately we can’t let you roam the aircraft freely for now. Kamille, show the Lieutenant to her room.

Kamille: Y-yes. This way.

Emma: Thank you, Kamille Bidan.

Quattro: Can I get your impressions of the Lieutenant, Selene?

Selene: ......I think she's trustworthy.

Quattro: I agree. I think she could become a valuable member of our group.

-

Bright: What’s that?

Roux: Enemies approaching from 2 o’clock!

Bright: So, they deployed another squad to pursue us. All hands, level 1 battle stations! We are launching a counter-attack!

Emma: Did they find us?

Kamille: No, seems like this is a separate group of attackers. Miss Emma, please stay in this room for now.

David: Kamille, what are you doing? We have to get moving!

Kamille: I know!

- Scenario 8 The Gundam That Leads to Ruin -

Jerid: It’s definitely them. We’ve arrived!

Laila: The other pursuit force is almost here. Don’t bust your balls trying to shoot these guys down in a hurry.

Jerid: I know, I know.

Kacricon: Jerid, don't get flustered!

- turns later, Carla and Grados units enter -

Carla: It’s them...they definitely won’t get away this time. Specials! Stop them dead in their tracks!

- all enemies defeated, Devil Gundam spawns -

Selene: What's that? A new enemy weapon?

Quatre: Could it be...?

Duo: I thought you might be lurking around here. I'm sure I know you from somewhere, eh?

Ryo: I’m here, Domon Kasshu. Are you sure that’s it?

Domon: No doubt about it. Finally, I found you Kyoji! Rain, stay back! Uwoooh!!!

Eiji: More reinforcements?!?

Ryo: You guys are from the Earth Liberation Front, right? This is the Getter Team here, from Karaba.

Quattro: From Karaba?

Ryo: I’ll explain later. First let’s get that thing!

Quattro: So, that unit is an enemy. Understood.

Duo: No mistake, that’s the Devil Gundam for sure.

Bright: You know about this thing?

Quatre: Yes. I - no, probably all five of us, are under orders to destroy that thing. It’s the sixth meteor that fell that day.

- Domon vs Kyoji -

Domon: Grr...KYOJIII!!! Kyoji: ......heh heh.

- Devil Gundam below 50% HP -

Domon: Stop!!!

Ryo: Hold on, Domon. Don’t stray too far. There are a lot of Imperial troops around here.

Domon: No! I can't let him get away!

Rain: It’s no good, Domon. Are you going to take on the entire Imperial army by yourself?

Domon: Grr...

Bright: ...okay, all units return immediately.

-

Quattro: Captain, that may not be the only other squad in pursuit of us. Let's leave now.

Bright: You're right. Take the Audhumla to a high altitude.

- Shifts to high-altitude map -

Bright: What's going on?

Roux: Three unidentified aircraft on a rapid intercept course. Model...unknown!

Bright: At such a high altitude? All hands, man the guns! Are they answering our communications?

Quattro: Captain, I’m going out to intercept them.

Bright: Good. Watch yourself out there; at this altitude we won’t be able to help you if you fall.

Quattro: I will.

Quattro: They’re fast. Is it a mobile armor?

Buran: I see you, resistance fighters! Don’t underestimate this new Asshimar! All units, spread out!

Quattro: They transformed into mobile suits?!? This is bad!

Bright: Damn, they’re shooting us from the deck. Anti-aircraft guns, what are you doing? Can’t you shoot down even one of them?!?

Quattro: What?!?

Buran: Hahaha, I’ve got you now, Audhumla!

- plane spawns -

???: Aaahhh!!!

Quattro: What? Is that...Amuro?!? What are you doing?!?

Amuro: Stay back, Char!

Buran: What the hell?!?

Buran: Wha-what?!? You're coming at me in a passenger plane?!? Ridiculous!

Amuro: Damn...

Bright: Now! Guns, get him!

Buran: Whaaaaat?!? Damn, all units retreat!

Quattro: You actually managed to pull that off...

Amuro: This plane doesn't have enough juice left to land on the Audhumla...

Quattro: Did he eject? He's being reckless...

Quattro: ...Amuro...Amuro Ray?

Amuro: I thought that was Char, but...

Quattro: That’s him...it’s Amuro Ray...

-

Bright: Amuro! Is it really you? I heard the Empire had you under house arrest....

Amuro: What with all the commotion lately, their surveillance started to weaken. I escaped when I heard about the New Edwards base incident...but I never thought I'd find you here, Bright.

Bright: We’re glad to have you. Allow me to introduce Commander Quattro of the Earth Liberation Front.

Quattro: It’s an honor to be introduced to the great hero of the One Year War. I’m pleased to meet you.

Amuro: ......pleased to meet you too, Colonel.

Quattro: I'm a commander.

Selene: Amuro Ray...Bright Noa...so this is what they're like.

David: What, you got a crush on Amuro, Selene?

Anna: Oh, David!

Selene: I'm just curious about him. It's hard to believe that that's the great ace Amuro Ray.

Eiji: In what way?

Selene: I don't know...it's nothing.

-

Quattro: Is that a battle-ready Getter Robo? I had heard that Karaba was continuing development on Getter machines, but I didn’t know one was complete already.

Bright: Yeah, the original prototype was destroyed in the war three years ago. So, why did you come here?

Ryo: We're here under orders from Karaba.

Bright: Well, we're glad to have you on board. So, Karaba sent you guys too?

Rain: Oh, us, well, we’re just pursuing the Devil Gundam...

Domon: Rain. Don't tell them anything else.

Rain: But, they were so eager to help us out. Shouldn’t we at least tell them what’s going on?

Domon: I have no intention of explaining anything.

Rain: So what is your plan then? To search high and low for the Devil Gundam while also running away from the Imperial Army?

Domon: Well, that's...

Bright: Ah - excuse me, but I have no idea what you two are talking about.

Hayato: We just happened upon them while we were investigating that monster. Honestly, we don’t know anything about them either.

Duo: You two descended to Earth chasing after that Devil Gundam, right?

Quattro: You're from the colonies?

Domon: ...and just who the hell do you think you are?!?

Duo: Hey hey! Relax a little! We're all here to party, I just arrived a little before you did, that’s all.

Bright: Speaking of, what do you know about this Devil Gundam?

Duo: Uh, well. I guess there’s no point in keeping secrets now. Hey, Quatre!

Quatre: I agree. Let’s tell them everything.

Quattro: What do you mean?

Duo: There were five of us...well I don’t know what orders the others got, but it’s probably all pretty similar...we were sent to Earth to attack the Empire and disrupt their forces. But something went wrong. There was a sixth meteor that fell that day.

Quatre: Yes. The Devil Gundam... we’re under orders to capture or destroy it.

Duo: I don’t know the details of where it came from, because the Empire keeps each colony totally siloed. But we were told the name of the man who escaped to Earth in the Devil Gundam. His name is Kyoji Kasshu.

Ryo: Kasshu?!? But that's...

Rain: He....he’s Domon’s brother. But I can’t believe the real Kyoji would behave like this. Besides, the Devil Gundam was originally...

Domon: Not another word, Rain. I’ll tell them myself. I’ll bring down Kyoji and the Devil Gundam with my own two hands! I won’t let anyone get in my way!

Rain: Domon...

Bright: I see...I think I understand now. This Devil Gundam, just how dangerous is it?

Ryo: From what we hear, it indiscriminately destroys everything in its path.

Duo: Self-evolution, self-regeneration, and self-reproduction. That monster’s only saving grace is that he’s no fun for the Empire either.

Bright: I got it. You said your name is Domon? If you join us, we can share any information we get on the Devil Gundam. How’s that?

Domon: ...You guys want me to join your battle against the Empire?

Quattro: This sounds like your best option, to me. At any rate, if you’re wandering around on Earth, you will come into conflict with the Empire anyway. It would be best for everyone if you and your companion joined us.

Domon: …...alright. As long as you understand that fighting the Empire comes second for me.

Quattro: That’s fine. This matter of the Devil Gundam is something that we can't ignore anyway.

-

Quattro: ...what can I do for you, Commander?

Amuro: Char...why did you return to the Earth Sphere?

Quattro: ......I came here to laugh at you. Does that make you feel any better?

Amuro: This isn't how I wanted things to go. You should know that.

Quattro: But you don’t want my sympathy, do you? If that’s the case, then I’ll explain my feelings as best I can. It’s my hope that you can become an Amuro Ray who can show the youth of our age the path into the future.

Amuro: ...is that why you came back to the Earth Sphere?

Quattro: Lalah’s soul is drifting around in the Earth Sphere. I know now that I could never hope to find her out beyond Mars.

Amuro: ......

Quattro: Hiding away like you did was only a benefit to the alien's empire.

Amuro: And just what did you expect me to do?!? I was under house arrest! I couldn’t just walk out the front door whenever I felt like it and go to space!

Quattro: Was that really the case? Always remember, a man can't accomplish anything without willpower.

Amuro: ......
