Super Robot Wars/64/Story/Stage 17
Note: The following script is based on the Selene version of the stage. Dialogue may vary significantly when playing as other characters.
Quattro: You’re saying Governer Gresco is dead?
Koji: Yeah! Everyone’s talking about it. He’s like, the head of the enemy army, right? Heh heh, sucks for you, old man!
Professor Yumi: There’s going to be a global broadcast about it; it’s on every relay channel.
Eiji: Gresco...
Anna: Eiji...
Quattro: Hm…how will this impact our situation…
-
David: Hey, it’s starting.
Duo: *Whistles* Have you ever seen such a big funeral?
Roux: Wait, turn it up, I can’t hear what they’re saying.
Quatre: Oh, yes, here we go.
Le Cain: …My soldiers, I swear to you, here and now! I will work tirelessly to carry out my late father’s wishes; to create an ideal government for both Imperials and Terrans alike!
Kamille: Le Cain! Who are you to talk about “ideals?”
Fa: Kamille...
Le Cain: Come, Roan Demitrich, Treize Kushrenada.
David: Traitor! Pig! Look at how shameless he is!
Anna: Roan...
Simone: ......
Eiji: ......
Le Cain: Everyone, despite being Terrans, these two men are truly outstanding. From now on, my government will employ only the very best men, without an eye to where they come from! This principle will allow us to create an ideal nation. Roan, here on Earth, is it not said that fire purifies all?
Roan: Indeed, sir.
Le Cain: And now that time has come. All things old and evil will be burned away in a global inferno! Treize!
Treize: Yes, sir. Based on your ideas, we have prepared thorough plans to destroy the remaining rebels, and rebuild our major cities and the colonies.
Le Cain: Everyone, you’ve heard it. All things that are old or evil will be burned away, in a baptism of fire!
Duo: …This sounds bad…
Ryo: Yeah, they can't overlook us after a speech like that...
Ryo: We’re the biggest resistance group in the world now. So it’s safe to say we’re going to have the biggest target on our backs too.
Hayato: I wonder how many troops they’re going to send our way.
Daisaku: What’s…What’s going to happen to us?!?
Quatre: …We've come so far, but we may not be able to win.
Ginrei: ......
Shinobu: Damn it! You’ve gotta be kidding me. You think we’re gonna give up that easy!
Anna: ...Eiji?
Eiji: I’ll go talk to the Captain and them.
-
Shapiro: …What do you think, Luna?
Luna: Yes sir, it seems that Lord Le Cain truly intends to coexist with the Terrans.
Shapiro: Hm… How utterly foolish. Really, is this how the Muge Zorbados Empire conducts itself?
Luna: Of course not, my lord.
Shapiro: So, His Excellency Gresco fell ill and died, hm?
Luna: It's certainly somewhat suspicious.
Shapiro: Hm…Luna, can we establish contact with the asteroid base now?
Luna: Le Cain’s men have taken control of the communication facilities, but it should be possible.
Shapiro: Hahaha! Soon, all will kneel before me! Call up Dr. Gurah of the Hyakki Clan, Luna. And be most polite when you do so.
Luna: Yes, Lord Shapiro.
-
Le Cain: Roan, what is it?
Roan: Oh…to be honest…
Le Cain: You’re here to tell me that one of our communication facilities is under attack by Imperial soldiers?
Roan: Yes. We have already suppressed the uprising. However, it appears that a single message was sent to the Imperial asteroid base. We are still investing who is behind this, but I wanted to make a preliminary report.
Le Cain: …I see. Continue with the investigation.
Roan: What was that you said, sir?
Le Cain: Enough! Now leave!
-
Le Cain: …These fools lack ideals… So, they plan to call upon the generals at the asteroid base?
Julia: ......
Le Cain: The best shall rule, and the weak shall obey… I will not allow my dream of building a superior nation to be stopped...
Gresco: (The power to suppress others…)
Le Cain: …Father! This sin is on you! From the time I was a small boy, you told me to take pride in the Empire, and keep those feelings close to my heart! ...This is on you...
Julia: Le Cain…
Le Cain: Julia…pray for me. And for my father, too.
Julia: ......
Le Cain: Pray, and don’t stop! Pray! A prayer for my father. They call you a “saint,” right? So then pray for us! For divine protection on us, the superior men. For a man who will shoulder this sorrow…who held his own father's life in his hands… Pray for me!
-
Roan: What’s the problem? Why did you call me? Don’t you know how busy I am?
Arthur: Roan, I know how difficult it must be. Working for the enemy, following orders, persevering all alone. But you can talk to me, you can let me know how you really feel!
Roan: What are you talking about?
Arthur: I get what’s going on here. You’re just pretending, so you can gain Le Cain’s trust, right?
Roan: No, the reason I’m doing this is because I truly think the Empire is magnificent. If that’s all you need, I’ll be on my way.
Arthur: Roan, wait!
Roan: You’re lucky nobody overheard that. If they did, you’d be up in front of a firing squad. Don’t show your face in front of me again. Is that clear?
Arthur: Roan...Roan!!!
-
Duo: So, do we know yet who actually did this?
Kamille: Damn the Empire!
Amuro: Settle down, Kamille. You should go get some rest.
Kamille: How can I sleep at a time like this?!? The enemy could attack at any time!
Amuro: Kamille.
Kamille: I’ll go help out with maintenance… That’ll help take my mind off things.
Duo: Tsk tsk, you hate to see a man gettin’ hysterical like that.
Amuro: He’s being pushed to the limit. We all are.
Amuro: Oh yeah, how's Selene?
Duo: Haven’t seen her.
Domon: I saw her talking to Rain a few minutes ago. Don’t worry about her, she has a fighter’s heart.
Amuro: Yeah… Hey Domon, are you really going to stick around here? I’m glad to have you around, but don’t you have your own goals?
Domon: It’s hard for me to put it into words.. But if this was enough to make me give up, then what kinda fighter would that make me, you know? Also, I have no idea where that…thing is. In the end, I can’t make it on my own. So don’t worry about it.
-
Selene: (The Empire is going to send a large force our way. I always knew this would happen eventually. Still… I’ll do my best.)
Leila: Oh…it’s you. Isn’t there some maintenance that you can do or something?
Talk with Leila <- Convince Leila to leave the ship Ignore Leila
Selene: What are you doing out here?
Leila: Nothing, just, taking a break. …So things are looking pretty bad, huh?
Selene: Yes. Do you want to leave?
Leila: Wh-what?!? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard! I’ve been fighting since before I can remember. I’ve even almost died once or twice now! This isn’t enough to scare me off!!!
Selene: Yeah… So, why do you fight?
Leila: Let me turn that question upside down. In times like these, why WOULDN'T I fight?
Selene: Yeah…you’re right. You get it. That was dumb of me to ask, wasn’t it?
Leila: …Nah, not really. It’s more like…
Leila: The enemy? They’re here!
Selene: Even sooner than I expected. They’re finally getting serious about taking us down. Get to the guns, quick.
Leila: I know!!!
Bright: All hands, level one battle stations! How many units have they deployed?!?
Beltorchika: There are so many, I can’t even count them all!
Ginrei: Captain Bright, shouldn’t we tell everyone what they’re up against?
Bright: No way. If we win, then it won’t have mattered. But if everyone's spirits are down because of some report, then we're more likely to lose.
- Scenario 16 Ideals Collapse -
Quatre: Duo, look! Everyone’s here!
Duo: It’s nice to see ‘em again, but this isn’t the kind of party I had in mind!
Quatre: Heero! Trowa! And Wufei! You came!
Trowa: Don’t read too much into it. I simply took the course of action that offered the highest probability of survival.
Heero: Yeah…same here.
Wufei: Those who fight for righteousness and justice must be strong! If we are truly on the right path, then we can turn the tide even now!
Duo: Heh, these guys…
Quattro: We would appreciate any assistance you can offer… And it looks like the enemy is here.
Giular: Look at those idiots! Begin the attack. Turn this place into a graveyard!
- TURNS LATER, ZECHS & OTHER SPECIALS SPAWN -
Zechs: I see, there’s that mobile suit. How regrettable that we have to end this all here.
Noin: But Zechs, His Excellency Treize said…
Zechs: Now’s not the time to bring that up, Noin.
Jerid: What are we waiting around for? I’m going first! I’ll bring them all down myself!
- SOME ENEMIES DEFEATED, MYCENAE FORCES SPAWN -
The Great General of Darkness: Whahahahaha! They're ready to break before us! My dark Mycenae Army! Leave none alive!
- ZECHS DEFEATED -
Zechs: Ugh…there’s no sugar-coating this…
- BATTLE END -
Ryo: Phew…looks like we were able to pull through.
Amuro: Not yet! Keep your guard up!
Anna: Everyone, watch out! The second wave is approaching!
Anna: No!!! We’re surrounded!
Shinobu: Damn, they just won’t quit!
-
Le Cain: Look, Roan. Everything’s going according to plan.
Roan: ......
Le Cain: Hahaha, looks like we’re finally getting to the point! Now we can put an end to this war. Roan Demitrich!
Roan: Yes sir?
Le Cain: I’ll leave the rest to you. Now I will rest, and await the good news. ...What is it, Roan?
Roan: Sir?
Le Cain: You can’t command an operation while you’re standing here. The commander’s seat is…right over there.
Roan: …Yes, Your Excellency.
Le Cain: Just remember, my chosen men have no need of hesitation. Just issue commands to my forces.
Roan: ...Yes, sir.
Arthur: (Roan...)
-
Grados Soldier: Commander, we need orders! If we don’t strike now, they’ll have an opening to escape! Authorize the attack, immediately!
Roan: ......
Grados Soldier: Commander!!! Issue the order!!!
Roan: …Issue a general retreat order to all our troops!
Grados Soldier: Wh-what?!? You bastard!!!
Roan: Nobody move! I have planted a powerful bomb at the base of this tower - strong enough to blow it clean off the face of the Earth! This facility is now under the control of the Earth Liberation Front!
Grados Soldier: Grr... This can't be happening!
Treize: (Excellent, Roan. You’ve made the right choice. Now, the flow of history, which has been stagnant for so long, can begin to run once again.)
Lady Une: Your Excellency, Treize.
Treize: Let’s go, Lady. They’ll surely kill me if I stay here, and there’s simply too much left for me to do before that happens.
Lady: Indeed, Your Excellency. We have a shuttle waiting.
Treize: The curtain rises on the second act. Things are about to get quite busy…
-
Le Cain: Fwahaha! I even killed my own father for the sake of my ideals! To think that they could unravel so easily…
Roan: …Please understand, Your Excellency. I am a Terran first and foremost.
Le Cain: …You realize what this means, right? Now the generals at the asteroid base will come to take the reins. You will all suffer much more under their lash than you would have under mine. Order will again disappear from the Earth.
Roan: The Zakarl?!? Sir…!
Le Cain: Roan Demitrich. Although you deceived me, I will allow you to hold on to this vain dream of freedom for now. Until my return.
Roan: ......Your Excellency...
Le Cain: Roan! I shall return! I promise you that!
Alan: You idiot! Why did you let Le Cain escape? Now he’s going to join up with his elite guards for one last attack!
Roan: I’m sure he will. But…I still have some admiration for him. I couldn’t find it in my heart to shoot.
Alan: …I guess if you hang around them long enough, you can see even these guys' good side. Oh well. We’ve disabled the security here in the tower, but there’s nothing to stop them from sending more troops. It’s time to get out of here.
Roan: You’re right… What happened to the commanders that were stationed here?
Alan: It’s no good. The Hyakki and Mycenae leaders were never here to begin with. It seems Shapiro and Treize both predicted this and fled. Banjo and the rest of Karaba are chasing them down, but I doubt they’ll catch them. Anyway, we need to hurry before Drake and his Will-Wips arrives.
Roan: Alright, I know.
