Part 132: Mission #64: A Message From the Action Man

Mission #64: A Message From the Action Man



In the future, all zoning will be based on hexagons after FASA wreaks its bloody revenge.



Who dares opposes my deadly, deadly team of wanzers?



It's Jared in a giant green wanzer...yet I'm still not impressed.



Ah, finally, Lukav has brought out his big wanzer, which, in order to comply with jRPG villainy laws, comes complete with superfluous wings.
: But it is futile. My plan is flawless. Deploy all units!
: What a grand welcoming party...
: Where's the entrance?
: Kazuki, that's the entrance to the lower level.
: Lukav!?
: Lukav's deploying also... Be careful. He's determined to stop us here.
: Yeah, you'd better not walk around without any armor. Find a safe place to hide with Alisa!
: Are you ready? This time he means business.
: That's how I like it! I'll show him I mean business, too.
Kazuki still hasn't mastered taunting.



Emma, Yun, Jose and Marcus are up. It occurs to me that I didn't actually have to build two different wanzers for Kazuki and Yun, I could have had them switch off using the same wanzer. Against us are a few Yongsai who are a bit outclassed by this point. There are also two giant missile wanzers, which have a lot of HP but, because of their size, are ridiculously easy to hit.



It's not that Emma's bad or anything, but she's just not going to cut it against enemies with that much HP.



Marcus is doing a bit better, but it's still a grind. On the plus side, these enemies aren't capable of doing much damage, so it's not like we're in real danger.



Lukav ditches only a couple of turns into the mission. It's definitely possible to kill him with a beam rifle/Body Smash combo, but it's not like it makes much of a difference.



It's the endgame, and that means if a guy gets knocked of his wanzer and the enemy has a chance to attack him before he gets back in, he's toast. And this guy was piloting one of the giant wanzers, saving me a whole ton of work.



Jose breaks Jared's wanzer. Let the goodtimes roll...
: Sir Lukav, my apologies.



Jose is on fire!



In the face of a resurgent Senor Goodtimes, the enemy loses all morale.



And that's the end of that.



Glory. Jose gets MVP.



: All right, open the shelter!
: Gotcha! Now, who's gonna be the first one through?
: I'll go! Follow me!
