Part 42
Such a conveniently short flight this time.
What happens now?
I'll take a blind guess and say 'the same thing that happens everywhere else.'
Who knows? We've always fought the Society by proxy... Now we meet face-to-face for the first time.
That's completely wrong. As in not even close to true.
I'm a little worried.
C'mon, now! We're doin' the right thing. You gotta believe that!
You're right... We've come too far to back down now. Upwards and onwards!
Actually I think we'd better set down somewhere. Can't get any precious EXP from the air.
Well, this WAS our designated meeting place...
Maybe they're here already.
Hey, she was right.
They're not kidding around this time! This city's crawling with Society forces.
Can you find Anita?
Let me scan the area... Not much point in trying to hide of presence now.
Let me know what you turn up.
The blue one is actually supposed to be a Guardian. There were two, but they died so fast... I don't have an inhuman reaction time, alright!?
oh god my face is exploding please help me
The difficulty has stepped up considerable by now. These enemies do lots of damage and can take quite a bit in return. I really need an upgrade to keep up.
Aww... that's adorable.
Sorry, Albert. The battle started a little earlier than we expected.
Don't worry about it. How's it going?
Not well... Our forces are taking some serious losses. But we can talk on the way.
"That's nice. I was talking about you, personally, though."
This isn't really all that much anymore. I'd need to do this five more times to have Albert gain a level.
for a while.
Thanks.
Ahh... my luck's finally on the mend. To travel with such charming company...
Luven, your gimmick is old and we already beat the level we needed you for. Die.
Do you use that line on EVERY woman that comes your way?
Um... so, Anita! What exactly are we trying to find here?
This country appears to have a bigger connection to the Society than most.
You think there's some clue to the whereabouts of their main base here?
We're sure of it.
What do you want with their base...?
NOW he's trying to out-stupid question Albert! When will Emil's blatant plagiarism end?
We only have finite resources... An all-out war is out of the question. That's why we're pinning our hopes on crushing the Society at its root.
I'd say they're wising up to you. The more time that passes, the greater their advantage!
Right. Let's start looking!
With that, I have every partner in the game. I'm not using Anita just yet because she starts with a level 1 plane and I can't buy a better one until I find a shop.
Remember how you can upgrade your primary weapons but I never did because that's what buying new ones is for? Well I'm majorly outclassed in firepower right now and need every advantage I can get, so I upped the power on the LG03.
And then went here. But that's not the point.
I have to admit I'm not totally sure what the point of the radar is. I guess they get several thousand channels inside the truck or something.
Great. This shit again.
20608 experience points.
Onward! I conquer!
Standard level. Nothing to see here.
Well if it isn't my old friend Screweye!
I notice that you're pulling a cart. Does it raise your power?
He looks... sort of annoyed.
24704 EXPeriences.
Heh. I, uhh... seem to have forgotten to take a shot of this level on the map. It's called San Colte.
It's a short, easy autoscrolling level.
Get ready to unleash the Meteor Swarm!
What?
Aren't you...?
You guys are pretty lame.
Hover Wanzers? Seriously? You ARE lame.
He's not even aware of his oncoming death. He's just about to eat a very tall sandwich.
It might have something to do with you guys being the worst mini-boss in the ENTIRE GAME.
I KNEW he was a zombie.
20864 EXP.
All of this sucks.
Finally! A
I really need to get some level 4 equipment.
Will do.
