I'd say the Imperial Valley should be the Imperial Valet since it sort of makes more sense, but I'm pretty sure Valet it spelled differently in Japanese anyway. Imperial Valley is just a really dumb name for a robot.

To me it kinda sounds like a halfway ok name for a huge battleship or something. But for a mech it’s not a great name.

 Here we are again, Ichitaka and Daiya maintaining a steady distance from one another – each got four kills last mission.  Quickly on the Skill Parts front, I’ve been saving Hit & Aways and Gunfights for the whole drat game because outside of Shinji and Alto, there are no other range-focused MCs and I didn’t feel like spending those on Ozma. So, finally, I get to dump them all on Heero and Kira.  And for upgrades, I got both Heero and Yuu up to 50% since they need it way more than Kira – he’s already OP. Heero now has Accuracy +15, A in Air and Range +1; Yuu has Mobility +15, Accuracy +15, S(!) in Air and Range +1. Very nice, indeed.  16 slots in today’s mission, with Shinn, Athrun, Kira and Rey deploying as event units. Here’s how we’re going: Kouichi/Quatre Daiya/Rei Alto/Michel Lee/Norza Kenji/Kyo Shinji/Cagalli Kouji/Sawatari Tetsuya/Canaria Iczer-3/Atross Dancouga/Hilde Goh/Yanma Eida/Anna Wufei/Yulianne Combattler/Voltes Ichitaka/Miu Yuu/Heero Off we go.   : The Destiny Plan…? : Many of you are likely taken aback by the abruptness of it all, but, please, we ask that you lend us your ear for a moment. : Meer… : …: As the Chairman just said, our world is currently beset by many different threats. It is not unthinkable that tomorrow, many of our loved ones may find their lives in danger… What would you do at that moment…? : (Dad, mom… Mayu…): Would you wait for someone to come to their rescue? That might result in your loved ones losing their lives… : Indeed, when that moment comes, it is up to you to keep said peoples’ lives safe! All of us have the strength to be capable of that lying deep within us! The Chairman’s Destiny Plan is simply a way to support us in that endeavor. : It is understandable that, even after hearing Lady Lacus’ words, many will still be confused. However, please, ask yourselves: what should you do to safeguard the future of your beloved?*End transmission.  : So it’s meant to give people the strength to protect those they love…? : If the plan really can make that happen, then… : It does, yes.: Huh… Rey…? : You knew about this Destiny Plan…?: Hm, the Chairman told me about it. Ways to stimulate mankind’s evolution, to allow us to defend Earth with our own hands… that is what the Destiny Plan entails. : Ways to defend Earth…?: An example would be the Zentran Factor. By researching data Leon Mishima gave us, we’ve found that there are Earthlings with genetic factors that, if stimulated, could allow them to grow as big as a Zentradi.  : When did he ever send that…? : Sounds like something he’d do, though. Offer the PLANTs some tech and, in exchange, he got more forces to use in his schemes. : The other example would be the SEED Factor. And our own group has several examples of people who’ve manifested it – people like you, Shinn, and Kira Yamato.: I… : …: The Destiny Plan’s goal is to discover the humans that have these genetic factors and build teams to defend the Earth Sphere from any who’d do it harm. : What…?: I suppose it makes sense from a military point of view to scout only folks that are innately talented at combat…: The Plan won’t be focusing solely on the military aspect, though. By analyzing the talents that lie dormant within each individual, they’ll be capable of making full use of said talents without any risk of losing their path in life.: Science, arts, and more… every human will be able to have a meaningful life.: Is that really true…?: What…?: Just because someone might be innately talented as a fighter, that doesn’t mean that’s all they can ever amount to…: You’d turn your back on your own genes?! You were born as the Super Coordinator, owner of peerless talent, and, yet, you’d wish for a different lot in life?!: I do not fight because I’m talented at it; nor do I wish for something in hopes it’ll just come true. Isn’t it the desire to make your wish come true what pushes people to overcome their destiny? : Kira’s right. It’s the people themselves that decide their own destiny – it’s not something anyone can impose on others. : … : Rey, I’ll be the first to admit that my life hasn’t been a perfect string of successes – far from it – but hardship, sorrow, and whatnot, are all different and necessary facets of it, no?: Why…? Do you think every single person is strong? They’re not. There are many who’ve been defeated by the strain of life, whose hearts have broken under it all. This Plan could save them…! : It’s true that everyone hates hardship… things would likely be a lot simpler just being told what to do… : But humans aren’t dolls.: !!: None of us are superheroes. Whatever talents we might have, we still cry and get angry during difficult times…: Also, sending people into battle because they have, or haven’t, certain innate talents, and them being capable of fighting to the bitter end, are two very different things…: I told you before, didn’t I, Rey? I don’t really like the idea of something like “destiny” deciding how people live and die…: Life is more than just that… I’ve come to that realization over all these battles.: Shinn…: Listen, Rey… I might not have any special talents of my own… but I’m still set on saving the professor myself. That’s just the choice I made.: You will not be endorsing the Chairman’s Plan, then…?: Personally, I’m afraid not. That said, I don’t think I’m entitled to make this decision for all of LOTUS. : I agree. We’ll need to talk things over, and see if we’re all on the same page on this matter...: Time is running very short, though. I’m sure you all understand how urgent it is that we strengthen our defenses right away…!: And if you’re not willing to cooperate, then we’ll be left with no choice but to force you… : F-Force us…?! : What, you’re just gonna jam this Destiny Plan down everyone’s throats?!: There’ll be no future for mankind without the Destiny Plan! It is the one remaining way to deliver us from chaos… And any who refuse to support the Chairman’s Plan will have to be eliminated! : Then it’ll fall on us to stand against his tyranny.: Captain…?! Even you’re turning against him?: I’m a member of FAITH, so I’m exercising my right to act according to my convictions.: Fine. Then as another member of FAITH, I’ll follow my own convictions and help the Chairman in any way I can… I’ll be taking my leave.*Off he goes.* : Rey! : … Trying to stop him won’t help. He’s fighting for what he, himself, believes in… : The Legend is departing!*Woooosh!* : Rey… Some time later, our other folk ponder Rey leaving – ever firm in his belief in Durandal. Will we have to fight him, then, Daiya wonders. Kira doesn’t see any way around it, considering what he and Durandal are planning to do. They need to be stopped. The Archangel/Eternal group has officially joined us, and Kira and Shinn finally have a chance to speak face-to-face again (Athrun’s told Kira much about him). Shinn remembers their encounter at Orb, and is surprised that guy was the Freedom’s pilot. As Murrue properly introduces them, Kira has been meaning to apologize all this time for hurting that girl in Berlin – she clearly means much to him. But Shinn’s willing to let bygones be bygones since, in the end, they managed to get her out alive. “Plus, I still owe you a ton for all the times you helped us. I dunno how I can repay you, but I’ll absolutely try,” Shinn adds. When Misato asks, Cagalli says both the Archangel and Eternal will be converging with our group as, one, this isn’t really the time to be chasing GreAT, and, two, things have reached a point where they can’t handle things by themselves. Well, Misato sees no reason to turn them down and gives them all the welcome aboard. Kouichi and Ichitaka see that LOTUS is becoming an even bigger family with all these new additions, and Nagisa can’t help but be amazed all so many different folks, from many different backgrounds, banding together in one group. Still, this is exactly what Ishigami and Une wanted LOTUS to become when they put it together. Wielding all this firepower is a big responsibility, Waltfeld sees, which is all the more reason to Lacus that we can’t wield our weapons thoughtlessly. If our words can get through the other party and avoid hostilities breaking out, that’d be best, of course. In the eventuality that’s not possible, Hilda steps up and says we’ll be ready to deploy. Mars and Herbert are with her, undaunted when fighting for LACUS-SAMA. Sounds like a real trio of go-getters to Kenji, so he wishes them do a bang-up job. Hilda says the same, with an admonition for him not to make Lacus worry! Now, Yui gets a message from Une saying that the ZAFT fleet on the moon is on the move – we’re to check what they’re up to, but to be ready to act, worst comes to worst. As we get ready to scramble, Misato asks Yui to see if we can get in touch with Relena on Earth, just in case.  : … : How’re you doing, Shinn…?: Luna…: You’re thinking about Rey, aren’t you?: Yeah… Hey, can I ask why you also decided to stay here?: Well… I guess it’s because I didn’t want the life I’ve lead to this point to be denied.: Your life?: Yeah. I’ve have plenty of missteps along the way, but everything I did was always what I had chosen… I don’t see myself having someone else decide my life for me.: Hm, I know how you feel…: So I’m still here. I wanna keep helping you protect all our friends. : Took the words out of my mouth. All I want is to keep you and our friends safe, with my own two hands…: Shinn…If you rescued Stella, you get these added bits:  : And I’ll protect Shinn too!: S-Stella! When did you get here?! And you really don’t need to hug me this tight!: … Well, I guess I better go and get ready to deploy. : Hey, Luna! Wait just a minute!: You, too, Luna! I’ll protect you too!: Ah…?: All this time, I’ve been nothing but trouble for everyone. So now I want to try and make everyone happy.: Stella…: You’re right… We’ll bring happiness to everyone – us and our whole team, together.: Right! Cut to Durandal’s fortress – Messiah – and he’s welcoming Rey back after the difficult battle on the moon. All in Gil’s name, of course, and Rey sees the time has finally come for the chairman’s ideals to crystallize. Still, they’ve only just begun and the difficult part is yet to come… which is why Durandal was hoping LOTUS would’ve agreed to help. Indeed, Rey was surprised that the Minerva crew refused as well. Durandal’s idea behind assigning the ship to work with us was that it’d make LOTUS more amenable and, eventually, they’d sign on up, but it had the exact opposite effect. Durandal had hoped the crew – and, especially, Shinn – would’ve been more sympathetic to his cause.  But their chat’s interrupted when Masaki enters to speak with Durandal (Rey stops short). Why is he here? Durandal is sure the required data was already transferred. Actually, Masaki is here with a warning: LOTUS is headed this way. Oh. Now, Central has deemed the Destiny Plan to be useful in managing the society, so they’ll be dispatching troops over to make sure it is successfully implemented. As Durandal nods, Masaki and Rey exchange glares and the former leaves. Rey wants to know why Durandal is working with those people – he should be well aware of what Central’s goal is. “I know what you’re getting at. However, the Destiny Plan wouldn’t have been completed without their assistance,” Durandal argues. “Moreover, if the Plan is put into effect, coexistence with Central may not be an impossibility – and, in doing so, we’ll keep them from converting all of humanity into Machinas.” As Durandal puts it, he is a statesman – it’s in his blood to prepare for the worst case scenario. As such, he’ll try to secure humanity’s future in his own way, and requests Rey’s help in making it happen. “If that is what you declare, then I’ll see that it is done. It’s my firm belief that both the world and mankind as a whole need your Plan,” Rey declares, and Durandal thanks him for the support.  Mission 33 – The Chosen Future   : We’ve brought a fortress to the moon, allied ourselves with those creepy fellas… Jeez, what the hell is wrong with ZAFT? : Cut to the chatter – this is a battlefield. We should just focus on keeping the PLANTs safe.: Still, this whole thing is…: I know! … I don’t like it either, but…: Yzak…  : And so you’ve come, Shinn… and LOTUS.: Rey… : We’re really gonna have to fight Rey, huh…*Looks ahead.* : The space fortress Messiah…! They’ve even deployed it…?*Looks at the Valleys.* : Hey, I see some of those Central mechs mixed in with ‘em!: The Chairman’s working with Central, then?! : Shows how far Durandal is willing to go to implement his Destiny Plan…!*Looks at some different units out back.*  : I’ve never seen those units before, though… : Earthlings… resistance is futile… Join us… : That voice… Soubi?!: Join us… : He’s been turned into a Machina-Human, just like Kiriyama…: What… What the hell do they think people are?! : I bid you a warm welcome, LOTUS… Am I correct to assume that you’ve come here to stop me?: Gilbert…: As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m ready and willing to force the implementation of the Destiny Plan. If possible, I’d much rather… Actually, I suppose there isn’t much for us to discuss – not when we both hold such unswayable desires.: I suppose this battle will serve to decide who is truly suited to bear the burden of mankind’s future, then.: Chairman, why are you in so much of a rush?! This isn’t the way! : You said we both hold “such unswayable desires”... but I’m sure we all want the same thing, and that’s to defend the future of all people!: Our ideals are the same, but our methods are not. You know that. : Come. There’s no reason for further debate, don’t you think?: Understood… then we’ll simply follow our convictions and bring you down!: … That is truly a shame, Cpt. Gladys…: Here we come… Rey…! Mission Objective: destroy all enemies. Mission Failure: Any battleship, Shinn, Kira or Athrun shot down. Got a big wave of enemies up ahead, with Rey being the biggest threat around by a mile. In truth, this is a bit of a difficulty spike: the ZAFT units are quite dodgy and accurate, the Valleys still pack the same heavy punch as always (especially the Strikes) and you’ve got Soubi and three other MP Machinas. Your first priority should be to hang by, at most, the edge of Rey’s MAPW range and build up morale on the first wave of goons. Once your folks are ready, rush the Legend ASAP and get him off your hair – things become significantly easier when you do. Remember that your Confuse casts, just in case you guys are getting mobbed too badly. As mentioned above, when dealing with the Valleys, you should always prioritize the Strikes not only due to their damage but due to the Armor Down they can still apply. Finally, the four MP Machinas are either programmed to only act real late in the mission or they outright won’t do anything until your guys get close. Whatever the case, save them for last. Finally, something to keep in mind:  Secret Alerts! Have Kira fight Rey, then have Shinn shoot him down Also, have Kouichi CONVINCE Soubi. Two different secrets on the line, but nothing too difficult. Just make sure you don’t overestimate Shinn’s movement range and be forced to wait a turn before killing Rey – that’s a recipe for losing folks to his DRAGOON.  Legend Gundam (Rey za Burrel) Pilot Skills: Sword Cut Shoot Down Shield Defense Guard Prevail L8 Support Attack L3 Attack Combo L3 Switching portraits has given Rey a major boost in everything which, when paired with the Legend’s S rank in space and high modifiers, results in a whole lot of accuracy and evasion. One thing you should be mindful of (outside of that lovely 6x6 MAPW we’ve come to abuse) is that Rey’s surprisingly bulky: nearly max Prevail, Guard, the VPS armor and Messiah’s terrain providing a 20% boost to defense means he can take a decent amount of punishment, so you better come packing Valor to get things done quick. As I said, park people outside his MAPW range, rush him down, attack with Kira and have Shinn finish him off – you can easily wreck him in a single round if your morale’s good.  Mass-Produced Machina (Soubi Nakajima) Pilot Skills: Machina-Human L8 Sword Cut Shoot Down Break Morale Limit Prevail L8 Support Attack L3 Attack Combo L3 Despite the major stat boost, Soubi’s nowhere near as much of a threat as Kiriyama since they saw fit to take away his Talisman. The MP Machinas are decent enough as grunt units, but they’re just not strong enough to compete in the big leagues. Plus, there’s also the fact that it only has two attacks: the weakest is 1-3, and the strongest is point-blank, so pretty much anyone can outrange him. Convince him with Kouichi, and then Soubi’ll likely go down in 2-3 valored attacks (maybe even oneshotted, depending on whether it’s Kouji or Kenji). As our folks advance, the first enemy wave throws itself into the grinder.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQAOLxRNog And we’ll show off the Straybird’s DKs while we’re at it. When turn two rolls around, you down a named character or reduce the enemy numbers below 36…  : To all the peoples of the Earth Sphere, I am Lacus Clyne.: ?! This broadcast is…?!: Please observe the images before you. ZAFT has shed light upon LOTUS’ true nature: yet another group that’d threaten us. Under the pretense of protecting the Earth Sphere, they’ve bolstered their forces and now turned it against us. No different from Logos… : So, it all comes down to propaganda again?!: He really did put Meer Campbell into play – unsurprising. Then we’ll follow suit…: None of us desire any more war… We wanted it gone from our world, but that does not suit them…*Beep, boop.* : Do not be fooled by her appearance. I am Lacus Clyne.: ?!  : That’s the Eternal… Then is she really…?: I am aware that someone with the same face, voice and name as mine is working with Chairman Durandal.: I-I…!: But I cannot endorse Chairman Durandal’s words or his actions. : That said, it does not mean that we are against said wish to see war gone from our midst. : What the… even Relena Darlian’s with her…? The hell?: It may be true that the Plan the Chairman’s advocating could bring many a life of peace.: But we cannot blindly accept his proposal. We must all think long and hard about what kind of world we are on the verge of heading towards…: And if I may borrow Chairman Durandal’s own words… : All of you that are watching this, please, think: what should you do to safeguard the future of your beloved? : And that concludes our broadcast. Isabelle Cronkite, out.*Bloop.* : What I should do, huh…?: …: Ch-Chairman…: Hahahah… the two queens have outplayed me. Still, it isn’t check mate just yet.And now we carry on our destruction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2BRY06_VOM Did they give everyone of Kira’s attacks a DK…?  At last, SEIGI blesses this battlefield! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziLu4-smGfk What do you mean the BGM is wrong? No, you’re clearly talking crazy.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCyYbIjTrWc   Excellent. Fourth turn, named character down, or enemy count is at 28 or less, and you get… : Well done, LOTUS. I did not expect this victory to come easily, even with Central’s assistance… : … You may fire when ready. : Yes, sir! Engaging Neutron Jammer Cancellers! Nuclear Cartridge, loading!*Alarm!*  : …! We’re detecting a powerful energy reading within the enemy fortress!: … Hrm! LOTUS! Get your people out of the firing line! Hurry! : Yzak…?!: The Messiah’s getting ready to fire it… the GENESIS! They’re targeting the Eternal!: GENESIS…? : A gigantic gamma ray cannon! Eternal, what are you still doing there?!*Energy charge!* : Everything I do, I do in the name of humanity’s future…!: !!   : I-Is everyone alright?! : Our forces barely evaded the attack – no major damage. The Eternal is also fine!*Beep, beep!*  : Th-That’s…: What happened, Meyrin?!: Th-The attack just now… it’s caused catastrophic damage throughout a ZAFT fleet that’d deployed at our flank…! : What…?!: Gilbert… you…!: I-Is that how you look out for Earth…? Didn’t you say you were doing this for mankind’s sake?! You’ve got to be kidding me, Durandal! : It took so long to lessen the fear people felt from those living in space, and you’ll be bringing it all back…!: … Sorry, Yzak, but this is about all I can take. Whether or not the Chairman’s vision for the world is right, if ZAFT’s willing to put up with stuff like this, then we’d just be going down that same, insane, path again!: Our mission is still to provide support for ZAFT.: Yzak…!: So move your rear end and support the Minerva and the Eternal! They’re ZAFT ships, remember!: …! Psh… You hardass, you…*Their units turn friendly and move by the Archangel.* : Huh… the IFF on that GOUF and ZAKU is…! Dearka?! : This is Dearka Elsman speaking. We’re backing you up, LOTUS.: Yzak, Dearka… You’re going to help us? : Hmph… And I’ve a lot to yell at you about after this is done. You better brace yourself for it!: Aye, aye, sir…  : We’ve no idea how much time we have until Neo-GENESIS is ready to fire again, or where they might shoot next…!: Things might not end as well as they did if that thing gets off another shot. We need to hurry and capture Messiah! : Are you two ZAFT soldiers ready to go?: Yeah! : We… We’ll put a stop to the Chairman!

Alright, that’s two less problems to deal with. We’ll set our sights on Rey real soon.      : So, Durandal’s words are pretty much gospel to you?: As Moon WILL himself assessed, destruction is all that awaits humanity in its current state. So Gil will take its reins and guide it! Then, our world will endure!: Sorry, but that’s not happening. We’re here to pull the plug on both the Destiny Plan and that “destruction of humanity” business!    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2aOBkLx8T4 And here’s the Akatsuki Shiranui’s best weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KVRAwH8_dk Plus the Straybird's best trick!      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJvIgl0R4Wc And let’s get this one out the way as well. Finally, Rey…   : Why do you trust that Chairman so much?! : I, for one, ain’t putting up with that crazy Plan of his!: You don’t have to understand, only to stand back and watch. If you do, Gil will make a utopia out of this world…: Oh, piss off! We fought through all those battles to keep our future in our own hands, not to hand it over to someone else!-- : You… Were you planning on using us even back when we first met?: Yes, to be honest. Gil needed more strength for what was to come. : Uh-huh… Too bad for you, things ain’t gonna go your way!: The Chairman won’t have a monopoly on our strength! The Voltes is, and always will be, a symbol of hope for ALL of Earth!    : You said before that you wanted your father to accept you, right? : We are alike, then… I am alive because Gil accepts me.: It’s true that I wanted my dad to compliment me. And I was really happy when he told me “good job”. : But I’ve already made up my mind, that even if my dad doesn’t approve of what I’m doing, I’m still going to follow my own path – the path I chose to follow…!: And I know that’ll make him happy…!    : Your Destiny Plan’ll do away with the future of so many children! There’s absolutely no way that’s how the world’s meant to be!: Are you worried about Lou Roux? Don’t be.: The Earth Sphere will be under the protection of hand-picked warriors… There will be no more alien invasions, or new tragedies born of those, and the children will all be lead in the proper direction.: Even children can go and make their own choices; and if it looks like they’re making a bad one, then adults should just try and point out a better direction!: But by setting them on a linear path from the moment they’re born, you’re doing nothing but killing all the potential they have!     : Rey, please stop this!: I’ve lived all for this day – the day Gil would create the world he dreamt of…! What about you, Shinn?!: To create a world where there’s no war, that’s why…!: But even if there’s no war, there will always be unhappiness! Gil will put an end to all of that!: But that doesn’t change the fact that what he’s doing is wrong, Rey!  : Kira Yamato… I refuse to allow someone like you to exist…! …! Why are you so…?!: You, of all people, should know! I’m… Rau le Creuset! : Rau le Creuset…?!: It can’t be…! Kira destroyed him at Jachin Due! : … He’s a clone?: That’s right… I’m a being created by the hands of man… Not a person, but an empty vessel…: You’re wrong! You only ever had one life... and that life is your own! You’re not him!: Shut your mouth! Your life was also created by someone else’s hands! What makes you so different from us?! : Why do you, alone, get to live a meaningful life?!: Rey, you…!: Kira Yamato… you’re the “glorious” embodiment of the dream – the future – of humanity…!: And that’s why you must disappear along with us! So that this world may be reborn!       : If you ask me, a life on preset rails is a whole lot worse than one stumbling about your own path!: But if the Destiny Plan is successfully implemented, no one will ever lose their way again. It’ll be the end of this society that persecutes those who’ve fallen by the wayside!: Is that a fact? But you should know that there are wings within the hearts of every person! Those wings yearn for freedom, and you’re not strong enough to bind them!   : Rey, was it always your plan to use LOTUS as a tool for Durandal?: It was, though that obviously didn’t happen. Still, you’ve also used LOTUS for your own goals, no? We are alike.: It’s true, I did join LOTUS in order to save the professor… but that doesn’t mean I’d ever betray our crew over it!: And if you had to choose between LOTUS and the professor? What then?: Then I’d insist to have my cake and eat it too – I’m childish like that…! : And that happy ending is one we’ll earn ourselves!    : Here we are, Rey. I am sorry, but Gilbert’s Plan needs to be stopped.: I also want my son to have the freedom to choose his own future.: I cannot stand down either, Cpt. Gladys… I’ll destroy anyone who stands in Gil’s way – even you!  : The world isn’t so tiny that your justice alone could save it.: I’ve figured out ages ago that I’m not strong enough to pull that off! That said, I’m not fighting this alone…: If I can really be a Champion of Justice, it’s only because I’ve my friends of LOTUS beside me!    : You are not fighting because you were ordered, but because you’ve someone you wish to be safe, so I won’t gainsay what you’re doing… But, tell me: what do you expect to gain after this is done? : My very being is worth nothing – I doubt I could ever make something with my life.: But if I can protect Gil, then not even death seems like a high price to pay.: In the past, I was no different from a fighting machine. I’d get my orders, and kill as many people as necessary to fulfill them – again, again, and again.: You may smother your heart and convince yourself that life is cheap… : But there is nothing cheap about anyone’s life! And that includes mine and yours!     Heero: “Target confirmed: Legend, ZAFT’s prototype…” : You always had that “cold and aloof” shtick going, but I figured there was a good guy behind all that! What the hell, man?!: All I’ve done was act in accordance to my orders: “fall in with LOTUS and, when it’s time to implement the Destiny Plan, bring them into our fold if possible.”: Wow… So this was all just one huge act? I can’t believe you!   : We even got Atross to be our friend, so why do we need to fight you?! : Please reconsider what you’re doing, Rey!: First off, I am not another child. Secondly, this is what I want to do.: And thirdly… I just cannot be friends with you.: No, no, no! We absolutely can!     : Stop this, Rey! The Chairman’s Plan won’t make anyone truly happy!: Are you implying that Lacus Clyne could, then, Athrun?!: But I don’t share your faith in her! I’d much rather stick with a far more concrete method. That’s why…!: You idiot! All you’re doing is shutting your ears to everyone’s words but the Chairman’s!: The Destiny Plan has to be stopped! That’s the path I chose to take, and why I was entrusted with the Justice!     : Come back to us, Rey! The Chairman’s way of doing things is totally wrong! Help us shut the guy down!: I told you I cannot do that…! A swarm of menaces are massing at our doorstep; we need to implement the Plan immediately if we’re to stand a chance!: It’ll be fine – we can all protect Earth together! Think of how lonely you’d be if you went on with this!     : Why are we even doing this?! What happened to all the stuff we went through?!: This turn of events is very commonplace in the battlefield. That’s all there is to it… : But we weren’t on the battlefield 24/7! For instance, didn’t we work on putting together that Idol Contest?! That was all of us, together!: We’re all LOTUS members… The bonds between us aren’t flimsy like that! No way!: … Come. We’re done talking…!   If you attack Rey with Shinn after having Kira engage, you get a new convo. : Shinn… if only you would join us…: Rey, you looked after me, didn’t you? Was the fact that you’re someone else’s clone what pushed you to do that?: …: No, it wasn’t! You did it because it was a decision you made, wasn’t it?!: That’s…: To me, you’re not this Rau le Creuset! You’re Rey za Burrell… my friend!: …! Still, Shinn… I… my destiny is…!: Come on, Rey! If destiny is what binds you… then I’ll cut you free from it!          : Hah… How much you’ve grown, Shinn…If you killed him with anyone but Shinn: : Impressive, LOTUS… but not surprising… I confess I’d been running simulations to figure out how to defeat you since yesterday, but nothing worked. : Rey… “It doesn’t help to panic and burn the midnight oil on the eve of your deadline”. You were the one who said that to us, remember?!: I guess… I did…: Rey, why…?!: … I don’t have that much of a future left. You see… I was born with short telomeres…: So, what, that means you only care about helping with this crap, screw whether you live or die?!: That’s right! I want to use whatever life I still have for the Gil’s… for the Chairman’s sake…! Kyo Misumi… I’m sure you can understand how I feel…!: …And then we converge. We did things right, though, so it goes straight to this from the previous line. : Come back with us, Rey…!: I’m sorry… but I have to keep Gil safe. That is what I chose, of my own free will…: Rey…! All that’s left is Soubi and a few GreAT units, so the battle’s pretty much won.  Especially after I do this.      Cha-ching!      Bam – all gone. Now to wait a turn while Kouichi gets in position.  Psh.  : Link confirmed… Join us…: Psh, seems like that collective consciousness’ doing a much bigger number on his brains that it did on Kiriyama. : Do you think there isn’t anything we can do about this?: That poor man…: Hrm, and I bet the Glain-Neidr guy’s ordering him from somewhere! Get your rear end out here, coward!: Resistance is futile… but…: He’s engaging! Counterattack!   MP Machinas aren’t too powerful, though.  There we go. : Look at what they did to you… they got you dancing on the palm of their cyber-hand. Are you seriously alright with being controlled?!: I am not under control... I am now one with the whole…: Do you not remember anything?! You told me before: “a long time ago I also had that same passion of justice and ideals”! Did you even forget all about those…?!: Urk…: Justice… Ideals… Ka…oru…: Soubi, are you…?! : I thought his integration was already complete…This warrants some observation.And that’s it. Now we blow him up!             : Further combat will have no effect on the Destiny Plan’s preservation. We’re done here – retreat, Soubi. : Acknowledged… : They’ve left…?: I’d wager the Destiny Plan caught Central’s eye… but apparently that does not mean they’re willing to stick with them through thick and thin.: Soubi… I…: Messiah has gone silent! No additional enemy forces detected!: Then all that remains…: Right. This isn’t over just yet. Not until we’ve put a stop to him… to Chairman Durandal.: Wait for me, Rey! : Stop, you two! It’s too dangerous! : We should go as well…Couple of convos we missed: : Rey… we’ve been friends since the academy, haven’t we?! Why do we need to fight like this…?: I thought of protecting the PLANTs – of protecting the world – even back then.: Gil can make that happen! The Earth will not last if we do nothing but insist on LOTUS’ approach! Sooner or later, it’ll crumble away!-- : Mu la Flaga… You have to die as well.: Rau le Creuset, he who sought to drape this world in darkness, was your father’s clone… And you’ll disappear along with all the crimes he committed!  : If we’re listing crimes, I’ve done more than a handful during my time with the Phantom Pain. But I can only atone for those by staying alive!: So just come back to us – your friends are waiting…!: Don’t be ridiculous! I have to keep on fighting… for Gil!: Enough of this! If you do that, you’ll be draping this world in darkness yourself – no different from Creuset! : Gil, you have to leave this place!: No. I think now truly is check mate…*Door opens!* : Chairman Durandal…: ?! You’re all…!: All of LOTUS’ pilots step forth to meet with me… I am truly honored.: Chairman, your Plan’s already done for. Just call it quits and turn yourself in…: We’ve a major debt with you… You’ve helped us ever since we arrived in this world. So, please…!: Do you truly think this is for the best…? Humanity will not last without the Destiny Plan.: If you reject it, even should you successfully drive out the invaders, the world will inevitably fall into chaos once more.: That’s a possibility, sure… but humanity can also choose not to head in that direction! : Just like we learned to coexist with the Darius…: And how we managed to befriend the Zentradi!: … None of that means that all humans are as strong, or as kind, as you. Who could truly declare that humanity itself can change, that people can understand one another?: But many of us know what it is like to reach out to another, to change for the better…: And because we know that, we can help others do the same – the same way I changed after meeting everyone in LOTUS.: Chairman Durandal, humans aren’t as idiotic as you deem them to be.: You wished to protect this world… would you be willing to entrust it to us now…?: …*Door opens.* : Gil… Stop this, please.: Talia…: The future should be molded by young men and women like them, not by us. : The previous generation shouldn’t decide the road the next will walk, only help them make their own choice. The future is theirs alone.: It doesn’t belong to us, hm…? You may be right. But bringing forth this future you’ve chosen is a herculean task. You are aware of that, I’m sure.: And we’re ready to face what’s ahead.: We rejected your choice, so we’ve a responsibility to see it done…: Is that so… then I have nothing more to say. If you’re capable of proclaiming this much, then I'd like to bear witness to the future you’ll create. : Chairman Durandal…: And there’s something I’d like to apologize to you for, Lacus Clyne… it was I who sent those forces after you in Orb.: …: Chairman...?!: As it was also my hand that forced Operation Angel Down into being… all so that Central would grant me their technology…: Masaki Sugawara told me to eliminate the Archangel, as it was looking into GreAT. I am truly sorry for my deceit.: But we’re all still alive… Did you honestly want us gone? : I’m sure someone with your power could have made it happen if you did. Yet here we are…: …: What happens now, Durandal…?: … You must leave this place. Messiah will break apart before long.: Then you come with us, Chairman!: I’m afraid that’s not possible. I also have to take responsibility for my choices.: …: Everyone back to your units… We must respect his wish…: Kch…*They leave.* : Talia, you must carry on… Help those children. Do not let them go down the same path I did… : I know… Goodbye, Gilbert…: Goodbye, Talia…*She goes too.* : (Maybe, somewhere deep inside, I truly did hope Talia, Kira and their allies would stop me…): Gil…?: Go with them, Rey. See for yourself whatever future this world might find…: …: … Understood, Gil… But I won’t just be watching. You wanted this world to be safe… so I’ll go and make it so…: Thank you, Rey… : Messiah’s… : It’ll stand as a memorial for Durandal and his ideals…: Chairman Durandal…*Beep, beep.* : That’s… we’re detecting a Mobile Suit!: Huh…? : LOTUS… I’m not here to fight with you. Will you accept my surrender?: Rey…! : The PLANTs’ Interim Council has agreed to a cease-fire. It’s over… finally. : Though I would’ve preferred if things could’ve been resolved without hostilities…: Chairman Durandal… he wanted to protect humanity just like us, but…: Still, in the end, he decided to trust us with this world’s future… We now have to measure up to his wish.: Yeah. All the more reason we really can’t let ourselves get taken out on these next battles.: But, Dearka, you two are…: Who gives a drat about affiliation right now? Our job is to make sure every single human – on the Earth, the PLANTs or wherever – gets to keep on living!: Yup, what he said.And if you covered all Meteor Breakers way back at the start of the game… : We’ve brought the Duel and Buster Gundams along, too, so you can be sure we won’t be a burden…! : Hey, now, and what do you think you’ll be doing with those two antiques?: Chill; they got a lot of updates on their OSs and whatnot. We’ll be A-OK.: Well, I see where you’re coming from. Better to jump into the fire with your old buddies than without, right?: Granted, we shouldn’t be too puffed up about having those two considering where we took them from.  : … If you’re willing to fly them in the name of peace, then I’ll say nothing about it.: We are sorry for what happened, Rep. Athha.: That’s our situation sorted out, though. Guess we’ll be working together again, folks.: Yzak, Dearka… thanks.: And you? Do you really want to fight as part of LOTUS again?: I understand that it’s a very selfish request. But, yes, that’s what I want to do – what I believe I can do. : …: Misato!: Consider it a request from me as well. Could you please grant Gilbert’s final wish?: … Oh, what the hell. Not like this’d be a first, so who am I so say anything? You have much to make up for, though.: Then…!: … Welcome back, Rey.: Thank you very much. : Thank goodness, Ray…! Our trio’s been together for too long – you can’t just ditch us!: Absolutely…!: Rey… Um, about the Chairman…: It’s fine, Shinn… That was the future he chose. What I can do now is help protect the world he entrusted to us – side-by-side with all these people who called out to me.: Rey… : Yeah, we’ll protect this world. All of us together, for as long as it takes.: (He’ll be going with Athrun and his team… But, I… what am I supposed to do now…?): Ah, here you are.: Lady Lacus?! And LOTUS…: We wanted to thank you for pointing the way to Messiah’s escape shaft. If you hadn’t, things could’ve have gotten rather complicated.: Hm. Worst case scenario, we could’ve lost some of our folks. : So, please, don’t be so scared. You can talk to us, you know.: But I… I’m a fake. Lady Lacus herself is back, so I can’t…: Meer… I’m sorry. You went through so much hardship because I pushed you to fill in as Lacus’ stand-in…: Meer. Your name and your face might not be your own, but what about your song? The song that mended the hearts of so many wasn’t a lie, was it?: My song… : I saw your show at Diokia. It’s true that that wasn’t Lacus’ song… it was your own, no?: That’s how you managed to connect with so many people.: Sheryl… Alto…: If you ask me, I dig your songs a whole lot. Whatever might be happening, they always perk me right up!: You…: Do carry on singing, Meer. Let the world hear your song…: Lady Lacus… Okay, I’ll start over again and I’ll continue to sing… If anything, my wish to make people happy was real…: Hmhmm, and that’s all you need…: What a strong girl… She’s lost almost everything she had, but still swears to continue to sing.: Sheryl…: Don’t worry about me, Alto. I’ve enough courage to carry on singing myself… all thanks to you…: … And that’s the proper end to the human conflict, and our “poo poo needs killing” pile now only has the Vajra, Central, Moon WILL and the Cthulhu left. Katou hasn’t called in yet, so Reiji figures the interdimensional passageway isn’t open yet. This would make a good moment to deal with one of those other threats, then, but we don’t know where— Never mind, the alarm sounds and Emi has news: the ship F-J III, currently patrolling around the moon, has just seen a massive fortress appear on the surface and it’s sending out a bunch of mobile weapons! Said weapons are IDed as being the Cthulhu’s and, whoops, they’ve just wrecked the F-J III in but an instant. Rachel is worried. More importantly, Nagisa gets a Newtype flash and senses Nagisa Kanou – she’s inside that fortress for sure. Iczer-3 confirms, sensing the same kind, warm aura she feels from her Nagisa irradiating from within there. Emi brings up an image of the fortress and Atross knows exactly what it is: Neos Gold’s base. Goh is dumbstruck that, despite our best efforts at trying to locate the thing, the Cthulhu managed to bring their entire base right to our doorstep. They’re likely pretty sure of their victory to go all-in like that, Mu ponders, and Tetsuya’s sure we’ll likely have to contend with Moon WILL as well over there.That sounds like a good deal to Aoi, seeing how fighting the guy was our main reason for coming up to space anyway. And if we can rescue Nagisa while doing it, that’s two birds with one stone, for Ichitaka. Regardless, there’s clearly no time to waste, so Misato orders us straight to the lunar surface.

And here is where Soubi's anime incarnation really gets people upset. He's turned into a Machina-Human, and the show does a lot to make you feel bad about all of this. Except, this is Studio Gonzo we're talking about, who have put in zero effort to make Soubi into a character the audience sympathizes with. In essence, Studio Gonzo is expecting the audience to have read the original manga and understand Soubi's plight, but not everyone who watches an anime based on a manga actually go over and read said manga. Thus, you have what is supposed to be a tragic turn of events faceplant so hard that the ground splits in half, all because the show couldn't be bothered to develop a villain to make him likeable. Good job, Studio Gonzo.

I guess even in this Destiny adaption where everyone is mostly sensible and listens to each other and gets along, Durandal and pals still need go completely evil all of a sudden. Though I like how it turns out even then most of his evil decisions were made by other people and he seems to sincerely regret them. I've only really experienced Destiny through SRW, and from what I understand it always goes through major changes. But still, compared to Z L seems to have really changed up Destiny a lot. More than they usually do with most series it feels like.

Well, we know Durandal was in touch with Masaki as far back as the first route split, so it's not like there wasn't a bit of foreshadowing there. But, yeah, at least Durandal's wish to go all Destiny Plan on this bitch seemed based not just around him wanting to reorganize society because he knows best, but the Transdimensional Borg essentially giving him a choice of "make everything super efficient-like or we'll assimilate". The possibility of having multiple squads of SEED-powered Macronized humans was almost as intriguing as an army of Sciroccos, too.

But they were, just like they always are!  Also I really like most changes done here because they make Durandal don't come across as a massive rear end in a top hat nor the Destiny cast as wishy-washy and stupid but they really should not have kept the GENESIS shooting down a bunch of ZAFT units and nothing else. With all of the rest of the changes, it...kind of feels horribly out of place. Like they couldn't find any reason to make Yzak and Dearka switch sides.

It feels like the only reason Durandal even died was because that's how things went in Destiny. Like they had to strictly adhere to certain parts of the script to even include it and one of those parts is "Durandal has to go down with Messiah because reasons". At least in Z he killed the Frost Brothers on the way out. I can't see what purpose him dying even accomplished here.

 Back again, and not a whole lot’s changed. Ichitaka’s keeping Daiya steadily at a distance. I swear I’m not prioritizing him – the enemies just like going after the Rushbird and a punch is usually enough to oneshot.  Jesus (accuracy +15, A in Space and Air, movement +1) and Iczer-3 (exp earned +20%, mobility +15, range +1) have been brought up to 50% now. As I’ve only now realized, Kira’s Squad Bonus changes with the terrain just like his weapon set: if you’re in space, it’ll boost the space rating, if you’re in the atmosphere, it’ll boost air.  Iczer-3 and Atross are deploying as event units today, and we’ve 19 slots, so here’s how it’ll be: Kouichi/Quatre Daiya/Deceive Alto/Michel Lee/Norza Kenji/Kyo Jeeg/Micchi Shinji/Rey Kouji/Sawatari Tetsuya/Canaria Kira/Athrun Dancouga/Hilde Goh/Yanma Eida/Anna Ichitaka/Miu Voltes/Combattler Yuu/Heero Shinn/Yulianne Yajima/Yamashita Ken/Lou Let’s go get revenge for all those Fujis.  Earth WILL is meeting up with Moon WILL in cyber space for the first time in a very long while, and Moon figures this is about the Cthulhu. Indeed, and our WILL asks if he’s really going to cooperate with the Cthulhu in a bid to wipe Earth out. Of course he will (pun not intended)! Earth WILL has “only” observed the history of Earth for the last 5 billion years. But Moon WILL has transposed the universal cycle of death and rebirth time and again, always observing, never turning his hand against the organics. And what has he seen? All those he’s watched over, without one exception, have brought about nothing but war – war of galactic SCAAaales! And, so, Moon WILL’s had enough watching over the organics. He’s given up on them. Eaaarth WIIILLLL is still young, but it is not too late just yet. “Listen to MEEeee! This world’s organics are no different from any of the other civilizations I’ve SEEeennn! There is no saving THEEeemmm!” Our WILL isn’t about to see the life of Earth destroyed just yet, though: “I’ll continue to watch over Earth, believing as I have in the potential these beings have to grow…” That’s the end of that, then. Moon WILL says he’ll personally see to his destruction and bids Earth WILL farewell.  Back at Dragon’s Hive, WILL confirms to F.S. that he couldn’t change Moon WILL’s mind. He apologizes for not being able to help, but the guy has been wholly consumed by despair after the trillions of years he spent watching over organics. The only option left for Earth’s survival now is to fight.  By the Cthulhu’s fortress, Nagisa wonders how long it’s been since she was brought here. She hopes Iczer-3 is doing fine. But the door opens, and she immediately starts yelling that torture won’t get them anywhere – she doesn’t have any valuable info! That’s just fine with Iczer-2, though, who tells her to follow. Mother dearest is just about to return.  Neos Gold is very excited about it, too, as Big Gold materializes once more. And mommy is very proud of her spawn’s work while she slept, stealing Iczer-1’s partner. Now they just need her to show herself again, and it’ll be simple to put her down. Iczer-2 walks in with Nagisa right then, presenting her before Big Gold. Big Gold sees not a whole lot of differences between the Earthlings and the Cthulhu peoples, so she can’t figure out how Nagisa was able to bring forth so much power when she and Iczer-1 came into contact with one another. Nagisa doesn’t care to indulge her questions and demands Big Gold stop her attack on Earth immediately. What did we ever do to warrant any of this?! Big Gold is willing to explain, and opens up the wall to reveal a gigantic piece of machinery –her core. Eons ago, she was created by the hands of humans… humans who eventually scrapped and dumped her out into space. “As I drifted through the cosmos, I came across several wonders of the universe. I think that sometimes I even traveled against the curvature of time itself" she says. "I remember having these experiences where... I'd go through these dark spaces that were like little holes, and I'd find myself in a universe that was very clearly from a long, long time ago...” As the ages passed and Big Gold continued to drift about, she slowly evolved into what we see now: something that could well be called a mechanical lifeform. At length, she was drawn to the Cthulhu’s lingering malice and that allowed her to take physical shape. As Neos Gold puts it, her mother’s golden form that we see is the embodiment of the malice in Sir Violet’s heart. But Nagisa still doesn’t understand why they’re attacking Earth: from what she’s heard of Sir Violet, she’s sure she never wanted to destroy anything.  SIIiileeence! Everything that is haaappening now was caused by us, FOOoolish huumaaanns!! As Moon WILL remembers, it was the humans of the past universe – those with the same blood as Nagisa – that built Big Gold in the first place. Now that is something even Big Gold herself wasn’t aware, so Moon WILL clarifies… “Big Gold... The FIIiinest masterpiece, gifted with many functions to support all aspects of human life as a certain planet's production plant... A tragic being who, as a result of independently gifting itself with new functions such as the ability to be a genetic carrier, was feared and scrapped,” he declares, as Big Gold listens on. “You haven't gone back into the past. You've gone through the end of the universe and jumped into the next, just as I did. But your intelligence hadn’t awakened yet, so you went on to scatter the seeds of life throughout this universe – that is, the genes of your OOoownn CREEaaators! And you did not limit yourself with just this one, but went to do the same in that which the humans call Highly Probable World…!” Neos sees how it is: Nagisa Kasumi and Nagisa Kanou are essentially blood relatives, descendants of those humans who created Big Gold in the former universe, whose genes she spread as per her directives. In essence, the Nagisas are her mothers’ hated enemies reborn by her own hands – fate is quite something, indeed. Big Gold herself now, at long last, understands where her contempt for Earth comes from, and why it resonated with Sir Violet’s underlying willingness to invade the place. Nagisa tries speaking up, but Moon WILL shushes her and turns to BIIIiiig Gold: there’s absolutely no reason to leverage organics like Nagisa or the Cthulhu. They, the iiiinorgaaanics, can very EEeeasily help one another!  Iczer-2, however, cuts in and tells Moon WILL that Nagisa is hers to use in the upcoming fight – they’ll be doing this their way, not his. Moon WILL is willing to concede that the fighting spirit of humans is worthy of respect, and with LOTUS bound to show up at any given moment, he tells Iczer-2 to knock herself out. The time has come for them to have their showdown with the humans, and Big Gold will make sure her spawn’s all healed up and ready to go when we arrive. Neos promises to slaughter the lot of us, empowered by the Iczelio she’s stolen – Iczer-2 might not even have enemies to fight by the time she’s done. Hohohohoho! As Iczer-2 glares on, Nagisa calls out to Iczer-1. She needs to come back right now…  Back to us, the imminent battle with the Cthulhu and Moon WILL has everyone on edge – Ichitaka suggests Sakuya and Michel try relaxing while they can as things’ll get really hectic once we reach the battle site. Easier said than done, and Sakuya’s constant grumbling is starting to annoy Kurara. How’s she supposed to concentrate? Asuka tells them to take their bickering elsewhere, as, if they can’t tell, we’re on standby. Sheryl saunters in and sees that, yup, everyone’s on pins and needles. Alto tries objecting that she should be resting, but Sheryl tells him to hush. She’s come bearing gifts: some of her very own home-made cooking. Nagisa says they figured the nonstop battles didn’t leave us with a lot of time to eat, so they went and made something. Kyoko, the Daiku Maryu’s cook, also saw fit to help – even Iczer-3 and Atross pitched in. Alto isn’t too sure if scarfing down food right before battle is a good idea, but Kouji tells him not to nitpick. The Galactic Fairy herself helped make these, so it wouldn’t do to turn her down! Plus, as Goh remembers, it’s an old saying that you can’t fight on an empty stomach. Daijirou takes his first bite and, hey, Kyoko’s Chinese food is pretty dang good.  As everyone starts eating, Alto agrees to try whatever Sheryl made… rice balls? Does he have a problem with that? Maybe she’s not a world-class chef, but still! Mind you, she’s wrapped them with bandages instead of nori (not that Alto’s going to say anything). But, fine, he agrees to try and it’s quite tasty – surprisingly so! What’s that supposed to mean, huh? Did he think she was just some useless girl?! Alright, alright, Alto’s sorry for his quip. “… I dreamt of having moments like this for so long,” Sheryl sighs, but quickly tells Alto she’s just talking to herself and calls everyone to help themselves to her dishes. Eida and Aoi, meanwhile, are staring out at the Earth. It looks real pretty, but seeing it here also shows Aoi how tiny it actually is – and time and again humans spread war throughout such a small planet. This next battle will have the fate of the whole thing riding on it, though, so she figures that’s enough sentimentality. We still got plenty of asses left to kick. Speaking of, Seimi and Bobby get in touch to warn that the Cthulhu fortress is coming into sight. Time for everyone to get ready to set out, and Alto asks Sheryl to head back to her room. She will, but asks him to promise to make it back to her. “Of course I will… I’ve a lucky charm, remember?” Atross and Iczer-3 are raring to go as well – wait just a bit more, Nagisa-1…!  Mission 34 – The Light of the Iczelio   : They’ve really rolled out the red carpet for us, huh? : And if we’re defeated here, that massive army will rain destruction across Earth. Steel yourselves, my friends! : Ohohohoho… That is correct, humans.: Neos Gold…!: You’re going down today, Neos Gold! We’re taking Nagisa-1 back from you! : Lady Neos… No, Neos! Is the other Nagisa still safe?!: Atross, the traitor… If you mean Nagisa Kanou, she’s doing just fine. Of course, the question is “for how long”…?*Flash!* : This sensation… Nagisa’s in pain…!: What did you do to her?!: Hmhmhm… If you wish to safe Nagisa Kanou, then you’ll have to destroy me first. : … But, unfortunately, death is all you’ll find here, never to set foot on Earth again.: Yeah, right! What kinda CHAMPIONS OF JUSTICE would we be if we went down that easy?!: We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel after so many sacrifices. Peace is almost ours again, and we won’t let you stop us.: Don’t forget that even after we kick her rear end, Big Gold and Moon WILL are likely inside that there fortress.: Then we better yank them out their love shack…!: Troops, engage and destroy the Cthulhu and Moon WILL forces! We – and Nagisa – will all be leaving here together!: Yeah!: Hmhmhm… You do not realize the new strength I’ve earned. I can correct that, though… Don’t let Atross, Iczer-3 or any ship get blown up. I’m not sure if I’d qualify this as a difficulty or annoyance spike in comparison to the last mission. Neos Gold is the same as she was before, and so are the Dilos Thetas, but the difference if that there are now a bunch of Regulus Alphas around. Attack-wise, they’re unchanged from our previous encounters, but, stat-wise, two of them have nearly 50k HP (the ones facing right). You can still outrange them easily enough, but there are many to deal with. There aren’t really any special tricks here: just build up morale on the Dilos, and start focus-firing them all. Do try to play conservatively with your SP, though, as having enough to pop valors and Strikes later will make things significantly easier. No enemies here have MAPW attacks, so just be mindful of chains. And the terrain, especially the crevice, provides decent defensive bonuses, so that’ll help you conserve your SP stocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7w_1vc5IE Yajima’s other attack is actually pretty intricate for the standard “shoot your gun” move.                     Oh, you’re cute. : We got my dad back safe and sound, so we’re absolutely gonna do the same for Nagisa!: Then you have but to defeat me. Though I’m afraid that’s an impossibility!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzPOx-X91XI More DKs for Kira!           One thing that I forgot to reiterate last mission is that Yulianne’s Decapitation is, I think, the only post-movement attack in the game that applies the Armor Down L3 debuff, so she is very much worth bringing around in these last missions. Either way, 40 minutes later, I’ve finally gotten rid of all the mooks and we’re ready to go after Neos.  : Destroy you and break into the base. A simple mission.: Fool. Do you honestly think it’s in your power to destroy me?!     : You’re not the only one we’re putting down today… I’m making this quick!: Try it, if you can! However, struggle as you might, this universe will belong to none but my mother, Big Gold!    : No way I’m getting dropped here! I’m running you into the dirt and making it back in one piece!: I can appreciate your zest, but I wonder if you’ve the strength to support it.     : Your plans end here and now, Neos!: The creation dares turn on her creator…? I’ll personally turn you back to dust, worm!    : I can’t stop until my sis’ back with us! Come on, Neos!: Idiot girl. The only place where you’ll see Iczer-1 again is in the afterlife!    : I couldn’t turn into Jeeg back then, so this’ll be my first time tangling with you!: You’re the kinda baddie that kills her mooks like it ain’t no thing, right? Then I don’t need to hold back when kicking your rear end!: Hahahah… what a fine spirit you have. Come and see for yourself the horror of facing me!    : Not bad at all, Earthlings. You are certainly far stronger than when last we fought.: Yeah, how’d you like that, Neos! We’re not getting beat up by you!: Even Iczer-3’s grown as a warrior, Neos Gold. You’d best make peace with your defeat!: We’re not here to eradicate the Cthulhu people, though! Some might still be open to parley about your immigration – you just have to be willing to try!: So there’s no point in continuing this…!: You don’t seem to grasp your situation… : What?!: It’s… The barrier around the Cthulhu fortress is enveloping our units! : Defensive stance! Bring us into Volution Mode! : R-Roger!  : Blast… to think the Cthulhu could use a defensive barrier as a snare…! : Heey, what gives?! Our ship’s the one meant to be attacking with barriers!: Hohohoho… you’d best watch how you move, or it’ll cost you dearly. : Granted, even if you do sit still, the barrier will constrict and wring the life out of you regardless! : Can’t we do anything, Arthur?! : No, the barrier field has us completely trapped!*Alarm!*  : Their barrier is apparently taking energy from both Neos Gold and the panels composing the surface of the Cthulhu fortress. We’re not doing away with it unless we can destroy them both…! : The Dragon’s Hive moving in! We’ll bring forth a way for our survival! : Don’t! If you get too close, you’ll be caught in the barrier field as well!: But how are we supposed to engage the targets if we cannot even draw near…?!: Ahahahahaha! What’s the matter, LOTUS? If that all you have to offer?: Uurk… drat it…!: This isn’t good…! The Minerva…!: …I’ll handle this.: Atross?!: I can still move a bit even inside the barrier field! So if I just blast Neos with all energy I have, I might be able to take her out! : “All of your”… but if you do that, you’ll…!: That’s crazy, Atross!: Nagisa… you’ve no idea how happy I am to have met you. And if doing this means you all survive, then…!: Atross…: Don’t worry about me! If we don’t hurry, everyone’s gonna be crushed!: Iczer-3, you go and destroy the fortress’ surface right after I’ve pushed Neos back! Do that and the barrier’ll disappear!: Your plan is pointless… You have nowhere enough energy to be capable of destroying our fortress, Iczer-3.*Beep!*  : Then I’ll take that task upon myself.: Huh…?!: The Messiah still has enough fuel in stock to alter its trajectory… : A collision with an object of this much mass should generate enough force to tear through their barrier and severely damage the fortress. : Gil…!: You…!: Talia… Earth truly is beautiful – a gem floating amid the darkness of space, and well deserving of such recognition… : Hahah… This will not atone for all I’ve done, but I’m glad that I could at least help you before my death.: Chairman! CHAIRMAN DURANDAL!!*Alarm!* : Messiah’s incoming!*Ruuuuumble!* : … We can’t let the Chairman die for nothing. Atross…!: I’m ready…!: You’d stand against your own mother, Atross?!: You’re not my mother!      Atross: “For Nagisa… and for all those who called me their friend…!” > “Neos Gold! I’ll end you!” Neos Gold: “You accursed traitooooor!!”  *CRAAAAAAAASH!*  : The barrier’s gone! The Minerva and all units are moving again!: You did it, Atross!: Y-Yeah…!  : Not good! She’s breaking down! : Get back to the ship, Atross! … Going somewhere, traitor?!: !!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juWsjWej3QE : Na…gisa… I…  : Atross! ATROOOOOSS!!: Atross…: You…! You’re gonna pay for that! : What are you frothing at the mouth for? Atross was a being I created from the Iczelio – her life was false from the very beginning. : And, regardless of that, death is all that awaits traitors and the incompetent. Such is the ironclad rule of the Cthulhu!: What’dya think life is?! You can’t just snuff it out without even batting an eye!: Her life may have been “false” in your eyes…: But she was still alive! She fought and laughed with all of us! And killing her… : Is unforgivable, Neos Gold!: Foolish humans. I have achieved perfection, and you will learn what it means to oppose me.  : You killed Atross! Get as big as you want, bring as many goons as you’d like, I’m not letting you beat me! I can’t! EVER!!

 And now you get to do it again. All enemies have respawned and while you probably could ignore them and just brute force Neos (who’ll auto-cast Iron Wall until you do some hefty damage), you’re likely better off casting Confuse once or twice and killing everything for the cash.  Super Neos (Neos Gold) Pilot Skills: Ignore Size Difference Commander L3 Prevail L5 Support Attack L3 Attack Combo L3 Super Neos gets powered up in a lot of spots, but loses a couple of things. For one, she can no longer chain attack and doesn’t even get a MAPW to fall back on (and her AI will still prioritize high HP targets), so she’s actually less dangerous. On the flip side, she’s gotten boosts in all stats and attack power, to say nothing of HP and defense. 94k on a Prevail L5 wouldn’t be an issue normally, but the fact that she’s auto-casting Iron Wall means you’ll be doing gimped damage for a while (make sure to tag her with Yulianne!). Killing her in one round is likely tough on a fresh game, so you might as well clear out the mooks again. Once they’re gone, the battle is practically won.  Welcome back, Rey. Pop Zeal with Shinji and we can get him perfectly positioned to cut our problems down to size.                       All the new enemies get trounced in two turns, and we’re free to tackle Neos. : An ordinary human man! I’ve nothing to speak with worms who lack any unique powers!: Well, what a coincidence! I also have nothing to say to you! I’ll just pour all my anger into the Dannar’s fists and let them get my point across!      : Bring it on, Neos Gold! You’re about to get an eyeful of the Devil Emperor’s power!: Hohoho… “Emperor”, you say! Please, give me your best shot - and do try not to disappoint!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFlYVpxdacc Here’s her best attack. Get Neos below 80% HP and… : It is useless… So long as the Iczelio lies within my grasp, I am invincible. Any other force is impotent before it. : Urgh! Not only is she tough as nails, she can also regen?!: What do we do now?! Our attacks are only hitting, like, half as hard thanks to that Iczelio too…!: Run her new numbers against our previously collected data! Hurry!: Ohohohoho…. I am perfect – almighty. I am cut from wholly different cloth from the Jama Kingdom and Darius Army.: If the Iczelio’s the problem, then there’s one thing we can try! : Iczer-3?!: You’ve got an idea? What, it’s not—: Right. It takes Iczelio energy to beat Iczelio energy, so I’ll do just what Atross did!*Iczer-3 flies after Neos.* : Iczer-3, stop!: Insolent fool. Die, Iczer-3! : Waah?! *BOOM!*  : Ah—… Iczer-3…: Hahahahah…! You’ve been found wanting, accursed Iczer! : This has gotta be a sick joke… is she really gone…? : No, wait… Over there!: You won’t be having this your way, Neos Gold!: What?! Who goes there?!   : … Don’t worry. Iczer-3’s safe.: Iczer-1…! You’re back!: My wounds have finally healed, yes. I can once more fight at your side.: Sis! You saved me!: I see you’ve been working very hard since I left, hm, Iczer-3?: I did, yes! All thanks to Nagisa and our friends!: I thank you as well, other Nagisa…: You’re Iczer-1… Weird… this is our first time talking, but I already feel like I know you…: You’ve my deepest appreciation for taking care of this girl, Nagisa… and now I’ll also take upon myself to guard you.: Iczer-1, Neos Gold is using the Iczelio to shield herself. We’ve to destroy that shield or this’ll be very difficult to turn around…: I understand. But I’m sure there’s a way for us to prevail. Just don’t give in to her…!: Idiocy! One extra Iczer won’t help you stem the tide of my power! : Though if you get on your knees and vow to serve me, I may decide to spare your life!: I’m afraid not. The vow I’ve taken is to use the life I’ve been given to destroy Big Gold and protect Nagisa and Earth!: All troops, focus fire on Neos Gold!Neos Gold still has Iron Wall, but keep at it – you’re almost in the clear! And in case it’s not clear, Iczer-1 can’t use the Iczer Robo or Iczer-1 Full Power right now.  : I have been waiting, Iczer-1! At last the time has come for our decisive bout!: Your evil has grown in my absence, I see… But that also comes to an end today, Neos Gold!    : You’re Neos Gold, huh? Come and try your hand against the Great Hero! The True Great Mazinger will put you six feet under!: Oho, you dub yourself a hero? Let us put to the test how much that power’ll avail you against a perfect being.   Get her under 70% this time, and… : Hrrmm…! For how long are you going to continue this exercise in futility…?! I’ve grown weary of your nonsense!: …Hrk?!  : That light! : It’s the Iczelio energy!: Guh… What?! How?!: Their unyielding hearts have wrested the Iczelio energy from under your control, Neos Gold. : It is something we, inorganic beings, cannot do… and what pushes humans to grow and evolve.: Yeah, that’s how we won all those fights before!: With the Iczelio back with us, does that mean…: Hmhmm. Iczer-3, call forth the Iczer Robo!: I’m on it! : Iczer! ROBO!  : Here we go, Nagisa!: Ready, Iczer-3! : Nagisa hasn’t been in a real battle since before, mind, so don’t push things too hard!: I know, I know! I won’t put much on her back!: Curse you…! CURSE YOU ALL!!There goes her Iron Wall! KIIIIILL!! : Those smug Four Generals of yours are already toast! You ain’t taking LOTUS down by yourself, lady!: Hmph… So Golem also died an ignoble death. I had my suspicions when she didn’t return. : Still, I’ve no use for those that are incompetent! Bacteria like you will not give an omnipotent being pause!    : Ah, the artificial human that Golem failed to dispose of – much to my disappointment, too…: Had the Third Impact successfully triggered, all of humanity would’ve been ashes and our immigration could have happened in earnest. : You don’t have any right to complain when you don’t even care about your own teammates!    : We had to get through Proist and that Super Mimetic Beast to get here! No way we’re letting you do us in after all that!: You underestimate me, Earthling! And now my overwhelming might will put the fear of death into you!-- : Your underlings hurt our friends and kidnapped Nagisa! Now you’ll feel the sting of all our anger!: Hmph… this human “solidarity” garbage is truly nigh-incomprehensible.         : I am a perfect, omnipotent being. To bare your fangs against she whom you should be worshiping… I’d call you a fool, but that would be an understatement.: Your “omnipotence” is just a delusion! And if you cannot see that for yourself, then we’ll just have to prove it to you!   : Say whatever you want, you’re still Big Gold’s mook! I don’t buy that “I AM ALL POWERFUL” bunk for one second!: You dare mock me?! But it will not be long before we’ve shed light on the mysteries of Nagisa Kanou’s power. The day we’ll ascent to godhood draws near!: “Being God” is way above your paygrade, mook! “Intelligence Staff Officer” or stuff like that is more in line with you! (Neos Gold’s VA voices Maribaron in Kamen Rider Black RX)    : We don’t care about you! Get Moon WILL out here right now!: You dub yourself a warrior who’s transcended even the gods… the gall! Bow before my overwhelming might!     If you attack after Iczer-1 came back, but before you took the Iczelio: : Alright, my big sis is back! We’ve nothing to worry about anymore!: You still don’t understand that victory is impossible for you!: Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, but that doesn’t mean we’re just gonna run off!: Then you will die here on this moon alongside all these moronic humans!: I won’t, because I’d never let myself get taken out by you!With the Robo: : Stay calm, Iczer-3! I’m sure she has a weak spot somewhere!: Ooh, you’re right! We should go for the wound the Iczelio energy made when it left!: Your games have gone on for long enough, Iczer-3! Even without the Iczelio, my Super Neos still houses gigantic amounts of energy!: And the Iczer Robo’ll send all that energy flying!     : Wh-Why?! How… I was supposed to be unbeatable! GAAAAAAAAAH!! : Yeah! We finally wrecked Neos Gold! : No more signs of the enemy around the fortress!: Time for us to get in there, then…!: And we even got that huge hole opened up on it. Even the Macross should be able to fit through.: That’s the road the Chairman paved for us. Let’s not be ungrateful, then—*Beep!* : How abominable the sight of you squirming organics is! It is utterly BAAaaflinnng! : Who goes there?! : I’m certain you know who. It is I, Moon WILL… overseer of civilizations.: You’re Moon WILL…!: Come on IIIiinnnn, LOTUS! The girl you seek, Nagisa Kanou, awaits. As do I! And BIIiig GOOoold…! : We will neither run NOoorr HIIiide! Indeed, we all await within the fortress before YOOoouu…!*Bloop.* : I guess we’re officially invited into their home. : Heh, works for me. Beats having to sneak around the place, right?: Yeah. And we’d have to fight them sooner or later, too…: …*Iczer-1 flies south, spotting a fulfilled secret!* : What is it, Iczer-1?: I sense the child, Atross… she’s still barely alive!: Ah?!  : …*Iczer-3 pops out the Iczer Robo and heads over.* : Atross!: Is there anything we can do to save her, Iczer-1?!: I’m not sure… but it’s worth trying!: Any units that need repairs and resupplies are to return to the ships at once! We’re entering the enemy fortress!: Roger! : …: What happens now, Iczer-1?: I’ll give her a portion of my energy. She was born of the Iczelio, so this could potentially save her life. I’ll need your help as well Iczer-3.: Okay! Atross saved me back there, so I gotta pay her back! : Please open your eyes, Atross…!: If a kind soul has found its way into this child… If her heart truly shines bright, then we can bring her back…!: Atross!: Hm…: Atross…! You did it! She’s back!: Oh, Atross… thank goodness…!: Nagisa…? You’re okay…: We all are…! And so are you…!: What a relief… Haah…: You’re Iczer-1… Why did you save me…?: What makes you ask that…?: Because, look at you…! You and Iczer-3 are all groggy after using your energy to save me…!: It’s said that people are prone to doing irrational things from time to time. Besides…: Does one need a reason to try and save her little sister?: ...! Sister…: Can… can I call you “sis” too, then…?: Of course…: There they go. Now we only need to rescue Nagisa and things’ll be just peachy.: Our units should be about done resupplying. Let’s get going!You only get to keep Atross if you had Iczer-3 beat her back on mission 26.  Some time later, Nagisa and Iczer-1 are trying to sense Nagisa Kanou inside the fortress, but the girl’s voice is growing steadily weaker. Mido and Saotome are patrolling ahead and found a wide open area inside the fortress – perfect for a huge brawl. Ichitaka gapes at the baddies apparently setting up an arena for our showdown, but it tells Kurara that Moon WILL must be feeling pretty confident. He’s taunting us, Sakuya thinks – the guy probably thinks he’s hot stuff because he’s got that Original Dancouga thing. Well, Seimi’s got the Nova all set up and ready to go, and Aoi’s looking forward to this Dancouga vs. Dancouga match. It’ll be the climax of Team D’s piloting career!  *Ruuuumble!*  : What was that…? : Neos Gold has fallen, and LOTUS has made its way inside the fortress, I’d wager.: They did?!*Tweep!* : Ah… this is…! Iczer-1’s with them! She came back!: It’s a bit too soon for celebration, Nagisa… Her return does nothing to change your predicament. : Furthermore, it is time I made you compliant…: C-Compliant…? With what…?!: Oh, you stupid girl… compliant with being mine. : You will be my partner, Nagisa. Surely you understand that that’s why you were taken in the first place…?: No! My place is with Iczer-1! I’d never be your partner!: Ah, Nagisa… you’re adorable. But should beings as frail as humans deign to speak like that…?*Tentacles!* This is probably where I should say that Iczer-1 originally started in a porn mag. The anime doesn’t go that far, of course… : Aah?! D-Do you think you can intimidate me with these creepy things…?!: Did you forget what you’ve heard? These infect and transform the human hosts into monsters from the inside-out. Would you care to go the way of dear “mommy and daddy”?: N-No… stop… urgh…: You’d best agree to my terms quickly, or these tentacles will run you through.*Tentacle noises!* : … No! Threaten me with whatever you want, I won’t do it!: What…?!: And if you’re going to kill me, just get it over with!: I see… I suppose I will, then, Nagisa. : Gaah…! : (Help me… Iczer-1…! Iczer-1! Iczer-ooone!!)

Small grammar mistake. Also I guess that's the plot of Iczer-3 and we're finishing Iczer-1 afterwards? Kind of weird to finish sequel before prequel, but I guess it's about the same treatment Tekkaman Blade and that awful sequel got in W and it did improve the latter. Not like Tekkaman Blade II is a high bar to clear quality-wise, but still. And I genuinely have no idea what the gently caress Moon WILL said about Big Gold and the Nagisas, can anyone explain? It was really confusing. Unrelated, I asked this in the Gundam thread but I may as well ask here too since this is a SRW thread. I want to get SRW V (asked for it as a birthday present since I have no way to buy things with a credit or debit card right now), what's the normal procedure for that on PS4? I know I have to make an account in an Asian country (I think Singapore but I'm not too sure), can anyone explain it more or less?

I dunno what Project A-KO is, but the three Iczer series are all kind of different from each other. The Iczer-1 OVA is a horror/yuri/mecha story. The Iczer-3 OVA is post-apocalyptic shonen I guess with like one robot fight. There's also the Iczelion OVA, which is a magical girl story.
