Super Robot Wars: Alpha Gaiden

Part 1


Let's get started then.








What a promising mission title.


What a nice day outside.
Suddenly, an alarm goes off!


We're under attack!






Meet Jerid.
He is an asshole.


: Disarm immediately, and stand down! Otherwise the Titans will open fire!



: That's right. Give up the lab and Shin Getter Robo to us immediately.



: ...What do you plan to do with Shin Getter Robo when you get it?



: We'll use Getter in Project Aegis, over at the DC Japan Branch.

: W-what'd you say... how could they know about that?

: Guess that's only natural... They've watched Asia ever since the Balmar War

: Could it be they let us set up Project Aegis so they could do this...?

: Musashi, Benkei! We Sortie! There's no reason for us to hand ourselves over!!

: Yeah! They think we'll just let 'em waltz in like they own the place!?



And so the Get machines sortie out

: Hmph... Guess that means they'll defy us after all...

: I won't let any of you ruin the peace we fought so hard to win!

: Peace? You think the world is at peace right now?

: Have you, the SDF, and the Londo Bell all forgotten what you caused last time? The Gravitational Shockwave you all caused will reach the Earth Soon...

: Thanks to that, there could be huge consequences. In short, you went too far!

: Sh-shut up! If we hadn't, the Earth would be destroyed right now!

: Big talk from some guy who didn't do a thing before!

: But we titans were the ones to keep the peace after the war. Because of that shockwave, protecting the earth is impossible!

: Quiet! Project Aegis is in its final stages! It can stop the Ultragravity wave!

: ...

: Do you intend to hinder that!? Right now, we should all be...

: I told you, we want to execute that project on our own terms! Since the Titans have not only the Far East Base and DC Japan... but the Earth!

: wh-what!?

: Ryou, what he's saying might be true! The Federation's Far East Base and the Photonic Labs are also under attack!

: !!

: What'd you say... then what about DC Japan where Dr. Saotome and Hayato are...!?

: It's just a matter ot time until the Titans have control of Japan. Disarm!

: (.........) You think we'd give in to that kind of threat!?

: There're tons of Super Robots besides ours in Japan! It's not gonna be that easy!

: (.........)

: Very well. Then we'll take the New Saotome lab by force!

: Musashi, Benkei! Don't let the enemy get into the New Saotome Lab!

: Yeah, I know!

: (........)


We are finally given control over the game now.
