Super Robot Wars: Alpha Gaiden

by Tobias Grant

Part 199: Post-Intermission



: Hoh... So those are the Irregulars?

: The Diana Counter...? No, they're different!

: Swesson, I've kept you waiting. The plan will be E-Minor.

: Took long enough... Ah well. The Mahiro Squad will execute Plan E-Minor.



: No civilian mishmash compares to our 2500 year-old training traditions!


The Mahiro squads line up on the NW and SW sides of the map.

: They're trying to pick a fight with us!

: I see... So that's the Ghingnham Fleet, head of the lunar military...!

: Aren't they lunar defense forces? What are they doing on the Earth!?

: Judging from how this looks, they must want to conquer the Earth...!

: Couldn't the Ra Cailum stop them!?

: This is no time for finger-pointing. We need to hold them off!

: Hahaha... The Turn X might be more fun to use on these mechanical dolls...

You now how I said the enemies in the first half wear ridiculously weak?




Well the game decided that I should be punished for my hubris.


At the start of their turn, The Turn X arrives.

Before we go any further, Here is Alpha Gaiden's version of Black History for your listening pleasure. It's more or less the 'theme' of the Turn-X even though here it still uses the Arrow of Destiny.


: A Mobile Suit's come out!

: Wh-what the...!? I feel a sort of pressure emanating from that Mobile Suit...!

: Ahahahaha! Gym! The Turn X is also rejoicing to be on the Earth again!

: Yes! And it wants payback for the chest wound it got here!



: Did he call that Mobile Suit the Turn X!?

: Turn... They call Loran's White Doll the Turn-A, right!?

: Is it related to the White Doll!?

: I had lots of fun with your friends on the Moon.

: Now then... Let's see how the Turn X fares against your machines!

: Keep talkin' bug! We're not gonna let some Mobile Suit stop us!!

: Careful, Shinobu! That's no ordinary Mobile Suit!







: This man... Does he enjoy war!?












Like I said, the game is no longer fucking around.






Priority one is reducing the Mahiro squad's numbers.


Really, if I hadn't put Daitarn on a mountain tile, he probably would have died by now.


Unfortunately, the same couldn't have been said for Dancouga




Ghingnham kept attacking Great Mazinger, who could easily take whatever punishment the Turn-X could dish out.


A few Guts later, and my more severely wounded units are back up to full.








That's Marybell down.


Things have started to get alot more manageable.


Although the Almeyers did try to destroy Mazinger Z.






With the fall of Swesson, all that's left now it the Turn X and the Almeyers. I went after the Turn X since taking him past 50% of his health will make him retreat.




: Yes. The Turn-types are the Mobile Suits that reduced Earth's civilization to sand!











: I can tell just by looking at it!!

: Hahaha... So you've noticed the Turn X's capabilities. In that case!






After that sheer onslaught, time to bring this to an end!




And that's it!




: Our attacks aren't hurting it!? Don't tell me it's regenerating the damage!?

: Yes. Did you think that was enough to take the Turn X down?

: What'd you say!?

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing. The Turn X is the Brother of the Burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: B-Brother!?

: What's wrong, living witnesses to the Black History...?

: Living witnesses to the Black History...!?

: Yes. I saw the entire sealed Black History in D.O.M.E.!

: What...!?

: It's beginning... The fall of the giant asteroid from far off in space.

: Giant Asteroid... You don't mean the Macross!?

: An interplanetary war began... and a shockwave hit the Earth.

: .........

: Those who fled to the moon in its wake became known as the Moon Race.

: S-so... This world really is...!?

: Yes! A world born from your own folly!!

: But I'm grateful to you all.

: Grateful...!?

: For crossing over time to face me, from the most violent of eras! Thanks to that, our time will also be stained by battle! MWAHAHAHAHA!!

: ...You WANT a war to erupt between the moon and the Earth!?

: That's right. If not, there would be no point to my warrior heritage.

: So you came down to Earth just to start a war...?

: Do you even realize what kind of state the Earth is in right now!?

: Of course. All the more reason to come, to greet my world's springtime!

Ghingnham picks up something on his sensors




And so the Turn X and any surviving enemies retreat.


Hey, it's the Ra Cailum!




: So we were a moment too late...

: The Ra Cailum... So they've also returned down to Earth...

-------------------------------

Apparently, depending on deals the 'finishing blow' on Gym Ghingnham, different scenes will happen. Here are some of the more interesting ones.

quote:

: Alright, we did it!

: Wait! Look at that!

: All the parts that got scattered are coming together again!

: He didn't get taken down... He split the machine himself!
I'm guessing this is the 'Generic' outcome.


Kouji Kabuto

quote:

: Hahaha... Good! Our people have forgotten this feeling over the years!

: Damn! This bastard's a real tough one!

: Did you think that was enough to take the Turn X down?

: What!?

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing.

: The Turn X is the brother of the burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: Wh...! It's a brother to the White Doll!?

: Which means your pissant machines are nothing to it!!

: Oh, that's IT!!

After the attack

: K-Kouji! Are you okay!?


Tetsuya Tsurugi

quote:

: Hahaha... Good! Our people have forgotten this feeling over the years!

: I-is this thing really a Mobile Suit...!?

: Did you think that was enough to take the Turn X down?

: What!?

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing.

: The Turn X is the brother of the burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: The White Doll's brother!?

: Which means your pissant machines are nothing to it!!

[...]

: S-such power!!

: Tetsuya!


Getter Team

quote:

: Hahaha... Good! Our people have forgotten this feeling over the years!

: Th-this is one hell of a Mobile Suit...!

: How can he still move after taking our attack...!

: This response... It's like when we hit the WaDOM!

: Which means... It's repairing its wounds using Nanomachines!?

: Yes. Did you think that was enough to take the Turn X down?

: What!?

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing.

: The Turn X is the brother of the burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: !! The White Doll's brother!?

: Which means your pissant machines are nothing to it!!

[...]

: M-my God...!

: We took that much damage...!?


Combattler Team

quote:

: Hahaha... Good! Our people have forgotten this feeling over the years!

: Wh-what's with this bastard...! Haven't our attacks done a thing!?

: H-hey... It's repairing itself with Nanomachines... Like the White Doll...?

: Yes. Did you think that was enough to take the Turn X down?

: What!?

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing.

: The Turn X is the brother of the burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: Wh-what!?

: The White Doll's brother!?

: Which means your pissant machines are nothing to it!!

[...]

: Hyouma!

: H-holy crap...! He did that much damage!?

The rest are usaully some varient of the above that isn't very interesting, although Mio has another amusing one like Ryusei did.


Mio Sasuga

quote:

: Hahaha... Good! Our people have forgotten this feeling over the years!

: Wh-what's this!? My attacks aren't having any effect at all!!

: Hahaha... I'll tell you one thing.

: The Turn X is the brother of the burier of the Earth's civilization, the Turn-A.

: Brother!? Okay, which one is the missile and which one is the launchpad?

: !?

: Master, would someone from this time, and from the moon, get that joke?
Sorry, this is the only picture of Shoji I had on hand..

: Ah, guess not.

: .........

: Which means your pissant machines are nothing to it!!

: Wh-what was that just now!? That wasn't in the program!!
