Super Robot Wars/64/Story/Stage 11

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

Lady Une: The Audhumla seems to be heading toward the Taklamakan desert… What’s their game?

Zechs: Lady, what is the plan?

Lady Une: What do you mean?

Zechs: In light of the events at Hong Kong, and the fact that we already have forces in pursuit, I believe His Excellency Treize would want us to adopt a wait-and-see approach.

Lady Une: Let me make one thing clear to you, Lieutenant: I neither want nor need your opinion on this matter. We will strike the resistance at every available opportunity as a matter of course. A few civilian casualties in the process are acceptable.

Zechs: And you believe this justifies using experimental enhanced humans like Won’s? Lady, recall the pursuit squad. His Excellency would never approve of this. You do not understand Treize's intentions.

Lady Une: The one who doesn’t understand him is you, Zechs.

Noin: You’re wrong, Lady Une. His Excellency would never approve of these methods.

Lady Une: You think you can give me orders?!? Know your place. I hereby order the two of you to sit and observe.

-

Bright: This route through the desert is so far out of our way, I’m not sure we’ll ever get to our destination.

Amuro: It’s harder for coastal bases to detect us; this route doesn’t take advantage of that at all.

Bright: My point exactly.

Quattro: The ocean route is not without its own problems either.

Bright: What do you mean, Commander?

Quattro: HQ just sent us some new intel. It seems troops of unknown affiliation have been suddenly appearing all over.

Amuro: If the ELF and Karaba don’t know who they are, they can’t be resistance fighters. Could they be Imperial special forces?

Quattro: No, it seems the Imperial army has also engaged in combat with these forces. The intel indicates that huge battleships and unidentified humanoid machines have even been "appearing" out of thin air.

Ryo: I’ve never heard of the Hyakki Clan or the Mycenae teleporting or anything like that.

Quattro: I agree; I don't think it's them. It's quite mysterious.

Roux: What do General Blex and Igor think? Should I contact them about this?

Quattro: No, I already have. Of course they agree that we need to investigate. First we will go to Tibet.

Kamille: Is there something wrong there?

Quattro: I’m afraid there is. The unidentified forces have also made an appearance there.

Bright: What a nuisance...

-

Ryo: Oh yeah, Sara, did you ever find out what happened to Shapiro?

Simone: Who’s Shapiro? Is he your boyfriend?

Sara: ...I don't care where he is.

Masato: Hold up, Sara, where are you going?

Shinobu: Put a sock in it, Masato.

Ryo: Shinobu, you know anything about this?

Shinobu: Yeah...that son of a bitch Shapiro defected to the Muge Empire.

Masato: No way!

Simone: Who is he?

Ryo: You hit the nail on head; he was Sara’s lover. He’s also the guy who trained us back at the academy.

Simone: How careless of me...

Ryo: So, where did Shapiro go when he defected?

Shinobu: No one knows where he went. I didn’t tell you guys at the time, but I knew before the war ended that he was with the Muge Empire. After that he disappeared. That’s all I know.

Masato: I wonder if the Imperial Army killed him.

Shinobu: Who cares? A traitor like that deserves whatever he gets.

Selene: You there, what are you doing?

Leila: What, you think I'm just goofing off? Tsk, I'm helping out with maintenance!

Astonaige: Hold on Selene, I've got it all under control. This girl knows her way around a hanger!

Selene: If you say so.

Leila: Hmpf!

Selene: What's that? ...Is that the enemy?

Bright: Do we have a visual?

Roberto: It’s those unidentified units we were talking about before.

Bright: How many?

Roberto: Looks like there's only two!

Bright: Two? That's all?

Amuro: Should I go try to make contact with them, Bright? Even if they’re hostile, we can deal with just two of them.

Bright: Alright, let’s give it a try.

- Scenario 11 The Gap Between Sea and Shore -

Show: Garalia, stop! Now is no time to be fighting!

Garalia: Even if I can’t return to Byston Well, I’ll at least do my duty and bring you down, like a true warrior!

Show: You saw that army! They weren’t from the surface or Byston Well! Something strange is going on here!

Garalia: That’s none of my concern!

- NEXT TURN, IF YOU DON'T FIGHT GARALIA -

Cham: Show, we can't hang on much longer!

Show: Out of my way Cham!

Cham: Hey! Watch those hands! Pervert!

Show: I've got bigger fish to fry, Cham! Garalia, listen, others must have come to the surface too; maybe we can work with them to find a way back!

Garalia: Good! Once I finish you off, that’ll be what I do next!

- NEXT TURN IF YOU STILL DON'T FIGHT GARALIA -

Cham: Show! Someone's approaching!

Show: What?!? Garalia, look!

Garalia: Damn it! It’s one of the surface dwellers’ ships.

Amuro: Attention, unidentified units! Can you hear me? We have no intention of fighting you, we just want to confirm your affiliation.

Show: You’re not an enemy? I’m Show Zama. I’m a surface dweller like you; please don’t attack!

Amuro: "Surface dweller?" You mean “Terran?" We won’t attack, we just came here to investigate the situation.

Show: I just got back from Byston Well, can you explain what’s going on here on the surface?

Amuro: Byston Well? Where is that?

Show: ...It’s a world found between the sea and shore. Like a fantasy otherworld, sort of.

Cham: Show, are you sure we can trust these people?

Bright: ...What is that? A little person?

Duo: Are you serious? Look, it has wings!

Show: Please, I really want to know, what the heck is going on here on the surface?

Amuro: And you’re not an alien?

Show: I’m human!

Amuro: ...Earth has been occupied by an alien empire.

Show: What are you saying? Those were aliens... ?

Amuro: You said your name is Show? If you’re from Earth, I’d like your help. We need to know the details of your situation, and why groups of people like you are appearing all over the world.

Show: All over the world, you say? This could only be the work of Jacoba Aon… The Ferrario must have done this...

Garalia: Show! You’re selling out to some surface dwellers? Just like I thought, your true loyalty lies with them!

Show: Settle down, Garalia! It’s like I thought, others from Byston Well are appearing here on the surface. Do you want to die here without ever getting back home? I’m trying to avoid fighting with you, so please be reasonable and listen!

Cham: He’s right! It’s not good to be stubborn like this!

Garalia: ...You’re right. So what now, Show Zama?

Show: We’ll go with these people. We know they aren’t enemies, at least. Then we’ll see what we can find out about the others.

Garalia: ...Fine. But I’m only going along with this because I don’t want to die a meaningless death here on the surface.

Bright: ...Let’s go talk to them.

Amuro: Okay, you two, come on board...

Quattro: The enemy? Was this a trap?

Byrne: Where is the Dunbine?!? Show Zama!!!

Show: It's Byrne Bannings!

Garalia: Byrne!!!

Byrne: So Garalia is with you too? Hmpf, it doesn’t matter to me if you want to debase yourself with these surface dwellers. I’ll kill you all in one fell swoop!

Garalia: No, that’s not...

Byrne: I will not speak with you any longer! Prepare for battle!

Show: Byrne, we’re not in Byston Well anymore, we don't have any reason to fight each other! Think about it!

Byrne: I have thought about it - and I’ve concluded that I’m very fortunate. After all, I didn't have to hunt you down at all, Show; you're the first person I met here on the surface. Consider yourself lucky too! You can die in battle here in your beloved surface world!

Show: Lucky… ? You think you’re lucky to get to fight me again?!?

Byrne: Of course! By coming to the surface, I was given this golden opportunity!

Show: People from Byston Well are being banished to the surface, and you won’t even consider the implications?!?

Amuro: Show, what's going on?

Show: Please fire on him! He’s serious about destroying us!

Bright: They’re enemies? Okay then, all units, launch!

- BYSTON WELL FORCES DEFEATED, SPECIALS SPAWN -

Beltorchika: Captain! A Specials pursuit force has found us!

Bright: What?!?

Amuro: There's too many of them...

Quattro: ......

Kamille: Four! Is that you?!?

Four: ...Kamille's out there...

- KAMILLE CONVINCES FOUR -

Amuro: Kamille, get down!

Kamille: I’ve got this! I know how to fight against this monster now!

Kamille: Four!

Four: Kamille…you’re here. It’s okay...just destroy this thing...

Kamille: Four, listen to me!

Four: Kamille...

Kamille: We can't die here, Four...there’s still too many things I haven’t told you.

Four: Told...me?

Kamille: ...Like, I have this childhood friend, this girl, who always says to me “Kamille, you have a bad habit of biting your nails!” I hated when she scolded me, because she used my name… I hate my name; it’s a girl’s name. So I started learning karate, so I could fight and show anyone anywhere that I’m a man...

Four: Kamille...

Kamille: I… I don’t know why I’m saying all this now. Four, I can’t do this...

Four: Kamille… Can I ask you just one thing? Do you still hate your name?

Kamille: ...I like it now. It’s MY name, after all.

Four: Yes… Kamille, go back where you belong. Don't waste your time on someone like me.

Kamille: No! Wait, Four!!!

Four: Kamille...goodbye...

Bright: Enemy reinforcements!

Ryo: What? What is she doing?

Amuro: Bright, let’s get out of here.

Bright: What?!?

Amuro: That woman is risking her life for us - no, for Kamille to escape.

Kamille: Wait, Four is-

Amuro: You have to honor people's choices, Kamille! If you don't, you'll have a miserable life!

Bright: All units, withdraw.

Four: Kamille...goodbye… This way, I’ll never be forced to forget about you...

- BATTLE END -

Kamille: Four… Why did things have to turn out like this... Fooouuur!!!

-

Kamille: Four...

Amuro: I see, so you’re a Terran who was summoned to that other world, and this woman is a native.

Show: Yes.

Cham: It’s not “another world!” It’s “Byston Well!”

Quatre: Incredible...it’s really alive.

Cham: Of course I’m alive! What’s that supposed to mean???

Quattro: It’s hard to believe it, even though it's right in front of my eyes. However, strange as it is, the fact remains that we are at war, and now your enemies are appearing in our world.

Show: Yes. I know other people from Byston Well came to the surface too, but I don’t know how they’ll react to this situation. In any case, I’d like to join up with you all.

Quattro: I understand. We’ll collect as much intelligence on the others as we can. However, the Empire controls the Earth now; we aren’t in a position to investigate freely.

Show: I’m worried about what Drake and his men from Byston Well might do here, but I’m an Earthling first and foremost. I want to join the fight against the aliens.

Quattro: Mm. And what about you, Garalia Nyamhee? It seems you and Show were on opposite sides of the conflict in Byston Well.

Garalia: ...I don’t know yet. For now I am in your debt. I’m a warrior, I won’t suddenly betray you. You have earned my respect in the battle against Byrne and the others.

Bright: Good. However, we'll have to keep you under watch at first.

Garalia: ...I understand.

Henken: Good to see you, Captain Bright.

Bright: Commander Henken, is that you?

Henken: Looks like you’ve really been sticking it to the Empire out here. Thanks to you, things are getting easier for the rest of us too.

Bright: I’m happy to hear it. So, you have a new pilot for me? Henken: Yeah, let me introduce you. This is Fa Yuiry. She’s still wet behind the ears, but she can pull her weight.

Fa: I'm Fa Yuiry. I'm looking forward to serving along with all of you.

Bright: Bright Noa. Glad to have you. Go introduce yourself to the rest of the crew.

Fa: I will, please excuse me.

Quattro: Well Commander Henken, I thought you might have brought new orders with you.

Henken: You’re right. The Albion is now ordered to go to Beijing.

Amuro: Beijing? I thought the city was in ruins.

Henken: That’s right. They want you to link up with the former staff of the International Police Organization there.

Bright: The IPO? They used to handle cases involving armed criminal organizations. But weren’t they disbanded after the war?

Henken: Now they’re involved in resistance efforts just like us. I didn’t ask any questions; they said they would contact us.

Bright: I guess we’re going to Beijing then.

Henken: Oh, and good luck, Captain.

-

Kamille: Fa... ? Is that you, Fa?!?

Fa: What! Kamille?!? What are you doing here?

Kamille: Fa...

Fa: Kamille...I thought I’d never see you again!

Kamille: What’s going on, why are you here?

Fa: ...The Empire arrested Mom and Dad...because they knew you became a pilot for the resistance...

Kamille: No... how did you get away, Fa?

Fa: The Earth Liberation Front helped me...

Kamille: Those damn Imperials!

-

Henken: You’re that lieutenant who defected from the Specials. Emma Sheen, wasn’t it?

Emma: Yes...and?

Henken: No, well, I, uh...I just heard that the staff here is great, so I came by to meet them. Good luck out there, Lieutenant!

Emma: ...Yes sir…? (What was that all about?)

-

Byrne: Defeat after defeat…all because of that damn surface dweller. Damn...I must break him. It’s... It's my duty as a knight!!!

-

Drake: It seems many aura ships and aura battlers have been sent to the surface.

???: Indeed. It’s best if we rendezvous with Shot as soon as possible. The people of Earth aren’t in control of the surface now, but don't worry, I have a plan. Please leave all negotiations to me.

Drake: ...Well you are from the surface after all; I suppose you know best.

???: Yes.

-

Lady Une: What - how could they have failed?!? Still, the resistance must have taken heavy damage in that fight… Call Won! Get him to send out another wave of attackers!

Noin: That’s enough, Lady. I have orders directly from His Excellency Treize. You are to cease all operations and return to headquarters immediately.

Lady Une: Wh...what? You’re lying!

Noin: Oh, and one more thing. His Excellency said you should handle all things elegantly. "Elegantly," Lady Une?
