All this is making me wish is that I'd run out a final wanzer build where everyone had a rifle.

Ah, well.

It's a shame you didn't grab a Super-League team, I would have loved to have seen the South Houston Disastros.

Mission #65: Filler Mission or Killer Mission?

Paradise

Linny, my son!
Japan is a paradise
for wanzer makers!

We got 13 orders this week!
Our methane wanzers will
become the wanzers of the future!
By the way, why are you in Japan?

Ah, the comic relief subplot that generated nary a chuckle.

Thanks

Thanks for everything.
The truth behind the coup
will be revealed after
we take care of the
DHZ invasion. I may
still need your help.
I promise you a scoop.

I mean, Kazuki could tell you now...but let's just say Kazuki has a plan ten million times more impractically awesome when it comes to revealing the truth.



Down into the bowels of Ocean City.



: It's the city's maintenance center We're in the heart of the city. There's no telling what's up ahead. Isao and Alisa, stay back until we secure it.
: Okay.
: Alisa, you must protect yourself.
: Yes, I understand.
No, you don't....you really, really don't.
: Kazuki, we're going.
: I'm coming.
: Oh no! Spread out, or they'll pick us off!
: They just won't give up.
: Yeah, we've got more of them over here. Kazuki, let's rush 'em!



Kazuki, Yun, Marcus and Dennis are up. I am determined to get Dennis' skills going. Against them are a few Yongsais and Tiandongs. Remember how in Alisa's path, the endgame was level after level of the relatively tough Imaginary Number wanzers? Well, Emma branch is a whole lot easier.



Come on Dennis...he shoots...



...HE SCORES!



You know Marcus, some of the guys were saying you just aren't tough enough to be effective this late in the game, what do you say about that?



Good answer.



Oh, and there are a few of these ceiling guns, which are literally forty missions past being dangerous.



Aim-body is a good skill...



...but, evidently, not good enough.



Marcus no longer has a shield, which means he is more susceptible to being worn down.



Body Smash finally goes off. Ya done it, Capskye, ya proved a man with a rifle could be just like a real soldier.



And that should finish the mission.



Bah! The HlfMnutHero gets the HlfMnutMVP.



: Yes. If we disassemble MIDAS, Lukav's plan is done for.
Well, no, as his repeated kidnappings of Emma and Alisa prove, there's more than one way to get MIDAS. Which means that to end the threat, we've got to replicate the ending of Terminator 2, and plunge the sisters into a pool of molten steel. Grim? Perhaps, but what else can we do?
: Then the showdown with Lukav will be in there...
: Alisa, are you all right?
: Yes, I'm fine. I've come this far, I can't afford to be scared.
: Well dudes and dudettes, let's go meet this MIDAS!
'Dudes and dudettes?' Ryogo, I will end this LP immediately if you ever say anything like that again. The fuck is that?

Next Time: No, no fucking preview, I'm still too angry about the 'dudes and dudettes' line. I mean, what are we, the fucking Wild Stallions?
