Part 45: It's Not Just for Show

Chapter 44: It's Not Just for Show

Last time we ran across Hal once again, and ran across who looks like she will be the last hurdle in our way of Gabe. Let's start today off with a...


SUB BOSS BATTLE: ZAKU III CUSTOM x2 AND BARRIER CLAW
As per the usual for barrier-type enemies, the Barrier Claw is immune to melee attacks. This means Li is pretty useless.


Still, whatever. Not really a challenge.


: You defeated that entire battalion of Mobile Suits!?
: Like I said before... I'm not letting you stop me. Now it's my turn to take you on!
: Well, well... A promise is a promise, I guess. Very well, I'll fight you!


BOSS BATTLE: DEATHSCYTHE HELL (MAHDI)
: I will send you to the depths of Hell!
The Deathscythe is unique among the enemies here in that I can't actually kill it in one shot.


It's actually reasonably strong.


Still, my party is MUCH stronger. It doesn't take very long to hit the midpoint after a round of 10EN boost attacks.


: Don't worry... I'm just getting warmed up!
: Still want to fight, hmm? Very well. Perhaps it's time I stopped holding back.


"Oh, that's funny. I was holding back too!"


"How did that feel?"


I'm actually kind of disappointed Deathscythe went down so easily. It and Heavyarms are my two favorite Wing suits.


: So... much... power...! Still... you're too late... My death... doesn't change... anything!
: Too late!? What are you talking about?
: Gabriel... has already... completed... his preparations. And so... the Great Fall... begins...


: Tell us! Where is Gabriel!?
: You'll have to find him... yourselves... Ah ha ha ha ha!


That's the last of them. The only enemy left is Gabriel.


: Don't give up! There's still time!
: Cheeto! We have to hurry! I can sense Gabriel up above!
: Come on, everyone! Let's go! We have to stop the Great Fall!
Now it's time for the ultra-tedious procedure of getting this dungeon's grand prize.


We start by hitting this switch on 6F.


That opens the door to the 7F exit on this elevator. We'll call it E2. E1 was a fairly inconsequential elevator at the beginning that let to a treasure room and a catwalk.


That leads to a battle with two Zeongs...


And this switch.


Which unlocks an elevator we'll call E3. This allows us to go to one of the rooms in B1F.


Which leads to some encounters...


And gets us to this switch.


That opens a door back on 7F, which gets us to ANOTHER elevator: E4.


E4 takes us to another area in B1F. It's full of treasures...


Encounters...


And most important of all...





Saving the Earth can wait. I'm gonna go use this baby. NOW.


Our travels take us to Old Greenland. The fifth G System lies here. So there are G Systems in Spain, Germany, England, Brazil, and Greenland. There was also one in the Northeast US, where the center of the first Great Fall was.


We have the same layout as all the other G Systems. Gotta love consistency.


: No. Not really.
: I do. From behind that door... Almost as if something's calling me...
: Let's check it out. It's not a bad feeling, is it?
: No... I don't think so.


: I am.
I HAVE BEEN... WAITING FOR YOU... THERE IS SOMETHING I WISH TO GIVE YOU...
: The G System's talking! What should we do, Aeon?
: I don't think it's hostile... Let's try accessing it.


: What's going on here?





: Why are you giving this to me?
I HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED... TO HELP YOU...
: Programmed? By whom?
THE MOBILE SUIT... HAS BEEN DELIVERED.
: Please, G System! Tell me! Who programmed you?


: The G System's gone dormant again. There's nothing more to find here.
: I don't understand... But thank you for your gift, G System.
You've all just witnessed the most plot point of this entire game. It will never be mentioned again. But never mind that!


Look at how much inventory space the Nu Gundam has!


Next time: The flow of time is disrupted...

RX-79 Nu Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Londo Bell Forces
The Nu Gundam was the Federation's ultimate weapon in its extended conflict against the Zeon. The basic design of the Gundam was created by Amuro Ray, and was built with the same technology as the Sazabi (supposedly leaked by Char Aznable himself). It was also equipped with six fin funnels. These funnels were special in that they not only serve as remote weapons, they can create a "beam barrier" that provides complete protection from beam weaponry.
