Super Robot Wars/64/Story/Stage 09
Note: The following script is based on the Selene version of the stage. Dialogue may vary significantly when playing as other characters.
Roux: Captain, incoming transmission from General Igor.
Bright: General Igor? Patch him through.
Igor: Ah, Commander Bright. Looks like you’ve had a tough go of it lately.
Bright: Yes. Unfortunately we fell right into the enemy’s trap.
Igor: There are things we can do to mitigate the damage done, though.
Bright: So what business do you have with us?
Igor: Mm. I’ll be straight with you. The people of Kansas City have taken up arms against the occupying Imperials and revolted, but the local subjugation forces are putting up a tough fight. I’d like you to go provide assistance and relief to the people there.
Quattro: I see. I understand what they're up against, however, we’re already in desperate need of supplies.
Igor: I’m aware. I already contacted Karaba and asked them to resupply you and provide additional personnel. They can rendezvous with you immediately.
Bright: Understood. We will set course for Kansas City as soon as we rendezvous with them and resupply.
Igor: We're counting on you.
-
Kamille: Mr. Amuro, I heard the supply convey will be finished docking very soon.
Amuro: ...I heard. I'll be there soon.
Amuro: ...letting a beginner pilot the Gundam, while I... Char and Bright must be trying to send a message here.
-
Sara: Sara Yuki, Ryo Shiba, and Masato Shikibu, formerly of the Earth Federation Army’s 13th Special Armored Unit, reporting for duty, sir.
Bright: At ease. I didn’t know the Beast Fighter Corps was still in action. We’re glad to have you.
Sara: General Igor ordered us to go into hiding when the Empire invaded.
Bright: That was a good call. Weren’t there four people in the Beast Fighter Corps though? We seem to be missing one.
Masato: Shinobu is nowhere to be found. Our poor Sara, it’s been so heartrendingly lonely for her since he left...
Sara: Shut up Masato. I have a rough idea where Shinobu is, and I’m gonna bring him back - even if I have to get a rope and drag him all the way here on a leash.
Ryo: He’s such an idiot! How is the Beast Fighter Corps supposed to do its job without all four robots!
Bright: I see your point. Anyway, how is the resupply going?
Masato: Don’t worry, there’s a real beauty from Karaba named Beltorchika overseeing it.
Sara: That’s so typically pig-headed of you, Masato.
Masato: There’s just too many beautiful women in the world for one lifetime...but that’s what makes life worth living.
-
Beltorchika: Captain, we just finished the final check on the supplies we brought in.
Bright: Ah, I appreciate it. Take a short break. Amuro’s here too, allow me to introduce him.
Beltorchika: I'm Beltorchika Irma of Karaba.
Amuro: Nice to meet you. I'm Amuro Ray.
Beltorchika: ...you're Amuro? Mm? What's this scent? Is that Helen Helen?
Amuro: What?
Beltorchika: That's my favorite scented soap, you know.
Amuro: (...why in the world do we have scented soap on the Audhumla?)
Bright: (I have no idea.)
Beltorchika: ...so you’re Amuro Ray? They say you’re a Newtype, but you seem quite ordinary to me.
Amuro: I'm sorry to disappoint.
Beltorchika: Actually I’m relieved to find that Amuro Ray isn’t the fierce warrior they say he is. I was afraid that you guys and Karaba were going to be like the Empire - er, no, the Specials, who can kill their fellow Terrans without batting an eye.
Amuro: And you joined Karaba despite not being sure of that?
Beltorchika: My hometown was destroyed by occupation forces hunting guerilla fighters.
Quattro: Captain, time is short. Let’s put a rush on the remaining work.
Bright: Ah, yes.
Beltorchika: Who is that?
Amuro: That’s Commander Quattro, of the Liberation Front.
Beltorchika: ...he sends shivers down my spine. I can’t imagine that he has any peaceful intentions.
Amuro: That’s not how he really is. He’s essentially a kind man, at heart.
Beltorchika: ...did I speak out of turn?
Bright: No, don't worry about it.
Beltorchika: ...my mistake.
-
Rain: Balancer, power-balance system...OK. Open gauge...error zero point +2. Transformation system...normal. Good.
Astonaige: Excuse me, but when you’re done can you come take a look at something please?
Rain: Sure, that's just fine. I'll be over in a minute.
Astonaige: I really appreciate you lending a hand. We’re shorthanded, you know.
Bright: Finally, weve arrived. All hands! Level one battle stations!
- Scenario 9 Soldiers of Sorrow -
Heero: ...this mission is a waste of time...damn it.
Heero: Hm...? Is that...
Relena: Quickly! Please, get to the shelter! Wait, is that Heero? Is that him fighting over there?
Hero: ......Relena Darlian.
Specials Soldier: That's her, that’s Relena Darlian!
Relena: It’s the Specials...the people who murdered Father...
Relena: Oh no...Heero...
Specials Soldier: We've got her!
Relena: ...Heero?!? Did he just save my life…?
Heero: ...damn, why did I just do that?
Specials Soldier: We don’t stand a chance! Retreat!
Relena: Heero...Heero, I know you can hear me! Why did you just save me? I thought you said you were going to kill me! Answer me, Heero!
Heero: .........damn.
Relena: Don’t run off without answering! Please, Heero!
-
Dr. Garah: Take as many of them alive as you can! We’ll convert them into soldiers for our army!
Great General of Darkness: The Hyakki Clan......hm? The resistance has come?!?
Dr. Gurah: Eeaahh! This reaction - there’s no mistaking it! Getter Robo is in with the resistance fighters!
Bright: Damn, those look like Mycenae and Hyakki forces: demons who joined up with the Empire. All hands, we are entering combat! Attack!
Amuro: Damn...
Bright: Hm? Amuro, don’t even think about it! It’s been three years since you even touched a mobile suit!
Beltorchika: I think there's an open machine gun turret, if you want to help.
Amuro: ...I used to pilot a Gundam, you know.
Beltorchika: (Just like I thought, he’s a pilot like the rest of them...he’s a fighter at heart...)
Bright: All pilots, launch!
-
Amuro: Damn it...
Beltorchika: (Why? Why would a person who is so afraid say he wants to go out and fight? This person is supposed to be a Newtype? ...no. Just like I’m afraid of heights, he’s afraid of battle...so let's try this)
Beltorchika: Where's that turret, let me try it!
- Battle starts -
Quattro: What's wrong with you, Amuro? ...the youth have the will to fight, why don’t you? Do you not have any fighting spirit left in your blood?
- turns later, Hyakki Clan units spawn -
Tekkoki: Beat it, Gurah! I’ll take over from here. People of Earth, look this way! I am Tekkoki of the Hyakki Clan! Let's fight, fair and square!
Musashi: “Fair and square?” Don’t make me laugh!
Dr. Gurah: (If a fool like this gains influence in the Hyakki Clan, we’ll never realize our ambitions…)
Tekkoki: What?!? Gurah, don’t lay a finger on them! Did you forget about our agreement?
Dr. Gurah: Be quiet! If we take them down and get our hands on their Getter Ray amplifier, it’ll be a great step forward for our plans!
Selene: ...I don't like these odds...
Tekkoki: Damn you Gurah! How could I gain any honor by winning such a one-sided battle? You there! We’ll have our match another time!
Dr. Gurah: Damn it Tekkoki! You fool!
Ryo: Well, that's a weird way to gain the upper hand in a fight, but it works for me.
Hayato: Huh, who knew the Hyakki Clan had guys like that in their ranks?
- Enemies defeated -
Bright: Looks like we got them all. Good, begin relief efforts, locate the wounded!
Leila: Ugh...uh...
Selene: You’re hurt badly. Come with me, we’ll get you some medical attention.
Leila: Huh...ah! Leave me alone!
Selene: I won’t be able to sleep well at night if I just leave you here to die like this. Come on.
Leila: I’m fine on my own! I don’t need help from the likes of you people. Stop looking down on me!
Selene: No can do, kid. From the looks of things, you’re one of the local guerillas. The only people who should be happy to see you dead are Imperials.
Leila: Grr...fine, you’re right. Don’t touch me! I can make it just fine by myself.
Selene: Then hurry up.
Leila: I'll hurry...I’ll...aaah...
Selene: Hey.
Leila: ...uh...
Selene: Hmpf.
-
Bright: Looks like we used nearly all of our newly-acquired supplies in the battle.
Beltorchika: Yes, and it seems like there’s no place we can get any more supplies around here either. I hear that the Luo Company in New Hong Kong can arrange for a resupply, though.
Bright: Hong Kong...what do you think, Commander?
Quattro: If we don’t resupply soon, our morale will become critically low. We have no choice.
Bright: That’s true...Okay, set a course for Hong Kong.
-
Masato: Hold up Sara, isn’t it a little selfish to just run off on your own at a time like this?
Sara: I’ll be right back. I just need to drop in on someone.
Masato: Even in a Land Cougar, to just run off like this is...hey wait, Sara!
Ryo: Let her be, Masato. You know where she’s going.
Masato: Hey, I’m not the bad guy here! I get it, I’ll leave her alone then, fine.
Duo: Hey there, you heading out? Here, take this key card, you'll need it to open the hangar.
Sara: Well, aren’t you thoughtful. Thanks.
Duo: Heh heh, no need to thank me!
-
Leila: Uh...mm...
Selene: You're awake.
Leila: I'm...
Selena: You’re on board the Earth Liberation Front’s Garuda-class transport, the Audhumla. You’re lucky to be alive at all. Hey, where are you going?
Leila: I’m going back. Those guys could attack again at any moment.
Selene: That’s not possible now. We’re already well on our way to Hong Kong.
Leila: Wha-what did you say?!? Why did you take me away?!?
Selene: We don’t make moves based on your personal convenience. It is what it is.
Leila: Give me a break! Drop me off now or I’ll just go back myself...ugh...
Selene: I’m sure you’re keenly aware of this right now, but you’re in no condition to be making a trip like that. You can do whatever you want after you heal up. I can arrange for you to depart as soon as you’re well.
Leila: Damn...
Selene: You're still in a lot of pain. I’m not here out of the kindness of my heart, you know. If you weren’t so badly hurt, I would’ve left you laying on the ground back in Kansas City.
Leila: Good, at least this way I don't owe you any thanks.
Selene: Ah, that’s just fine with me. As inconvenient as might be for you, you’re stuck here for now, so let’s get your name at least.
Leila: ......Leila.
Selene: And I'm Selene Menez.
-
Sara: I knew I’d find you in a place like this, Shinobu. Filthy, dark, drab - it’s perfect for you.
Shinobu: Sara...is that you?
Sara: You heard the call-up from the General. Ryo and Masato already showed up to fight those Muge bastards, but you’re just sitting here twiddling your thumbs.
Shinobu: ......
Sara: Don’t just sit there, say something!
Shinobu: ...just go away, leave me alone.
Sara: Shinobu! What’s wrong with you! Did you lose your spine somewhere?!?
Shinobu: I’m...I’m done with fighting.
Sara: Shinobu...it’s true, our battle has gone on for a very long time. And the thought of losing leaves me so afraid, my heart feels like it's been completely exposed. I even thought to myself, “what am I fighting for…”
Shinobu: Sara......
Sara: But there must be something you believe in, isn’t there, Shinobu? Some reason to keep fighting.
Shinobu: ......
Sara: Shinobu...I believe in you. See you later; it was good to talk again after so long.
Shinobu: ......damn...
-
Selene: Hm? Duo Maxwell, what are you doing here?
Duo: You...nah, I just like the way the moon looks from Earth. When you see the moon from the colonies, it’s all too clear. It looks too dead, and there’s a huge Imperial base there.
Duo: I wonder how long I’ll be able to see this side of the moon...heh, that guy would never think to come take in the sights like this...
