Part 114: Mission 45 - Judas - Part 3

: W-We did it…!
: We beat the enemy!
: We’ve saved mankind…!
: …
: Ishigami, you said my way of doing things was wrong?
: That was why you…
: Do you want to know the first thing Judah told me? It was that I could never save mankind…
: However, what I could do was save the person capable of doing so.
: That person, the one who can save mankind, is you, Cmdr. Katou.
: …?!
: That’s why I never took steps to bring down your Organization.
: But by becoming your enemy, I could keep your attention set on me, which would let me guide you in the right direction.
: Y-You… were guiding me?
: Commander… I really do want to save mankind.
: And that includes you, too. You’re one of the people I want to save the most.
: …
: Then, your plan was…
: It was to save me from myself…?
: Yes.
: I-Ishigami…
: …
: You do not want to fight, but there are those you cannot protect without doing so…
: Our capacity to both hurt and support one another all comes from that desire to protect something…
: That’s why we keep on fighting, despite how difficult it is…
: (Humans bear so much sorrow, but they still carry on…)
: Then, all this time, I…
: We’ve both dirtied our hands plenty to get to this point.
: But I’m afraid we’ll need to save the soul-searching for later. It looks like things are taking a turn for the worse…
: What…?!



: T-The warp field’s open again…!
: Damn it, is there no end to this?!
: …
: I see… This is why I could never save mankind, isn’t it?

*Ishigami moves towards the portal.*

: Mr. Ishigami…?!
: Relax. I’ll have their warp field broken down in a jiffy!
: You’re going to destroy it?!
: Is that even possible?!
: I’ll deploy Judah’s own warp field at full power and crash into theirs! That should be more than enough…!
: You don’t mean…!
: You’re going to trigger a particle annihilation between your fields?!
: A-Annihilation?!
: Mr. Ishigami, your big plan is to follow on Maj. Richard’s footsteps?!
: Sorry, Ensign Berge…
: But it’s looking like my death is another necessary event for mankind to be saved…
: …?!
: This is the answer Judah and I found among countless possibilities.
: We’re to lay down our lives as foundation for a new future…
: Hahahah, a very fitting climax for an old Champion of Justice, no?
: M-Mr. Ishigami…!
: You…!



: Deploying field! Maximum output!
: DON’T DO IT!!
: …?!

Lisa Komine – Follow Your Heart


: What’s wrong with you?! Why do you always act like you’re the one who has the right answers?!
: But I’m here to say that you’re wrong! If you really want to build any future, then you need to live!
: Live, fight, and take hold of your destiny!
: Y-You…!
: Hope for the future is a power given to everything. It’s what allows us to keep living, so don’t stop now…!



: It’s only by living that we can bring about the world of our dreams!
: Don’t walk away from it! Life itself is the real battle! (Cagalli line from SEED)
: Kira! Athrun…!

*All three Gundams go after the portal!*

: What are you doing?!
: We’ll unleash energy on par with a particle annihilation and break down the portal!
: Wh-What…?!
: Ishigami, if you’re another prisoner to fate…
: Then we’ll break those chains here and now!








: I-It’s still not enough…!
: We need more if we’re going to cancel out the energy of the warp field…!
: Then, they can have ours as well…!

*Everyone gets around the portal!*

: Haaaaaaah! Show me what you got, Tobikage!
: Demonbane, full power!
: This portal ain’t got nothing on the Kaiser!

*Power uuuuuup!*



: Neutrino Generator, emergency acceleration! Rgh… A-Aargh!
: Cpt. Spencer?!
: Forget about me! Rrgh… Raaaaaaaargh!





: Aaaieeeee!
: Stand down! There’s no reason for you people to also get hurt! This is my fate—
: The future has already been changed!
: …?!
: We told you before: reality is progressing in ways far beyond what Judah predicted.
: So, we know our wills are strong enough to make our own future… our own fate!
: Y-You…!



: Tsk… We’ve got more Human Machinas…!
: Liu Bei! Cao Cao! Sun Quan!
: The time has come to manifest the full power of legend!



: Aye!
: Quèshùn! Grant me strength!



: Ye soul of Hǔxiǎo dwelling within the Koteito… Bless me with your power!



: Ye light of Lóngdì… Entrust your power to me!



: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Captions are available for the absolute strongest attack in the game.



: They beckoned all four Celestial Armors at once…?!
: Th-This… This is the work of the will of man, of their unfaltering resolve?!
: …
: With me, Ishigami!
: C-Commander…!
: While our wishes were the same, our eyes were set upon different futures…
: However… I know our eyes are now set upon the same world!
: The same world…!
: And will not turn from it ever again!
: Come on! We'll live for the present, not for the future!
: …
: Yes, sir!

And here’s the DK for Katou’s best attack.
Katou supporting Ishigami: “Hah… There’s no time for reminiscing, Ishigami!”



: Now! Send all your energy into the warp field!





*BOOOOOOOOOM!*



: …
: Wh-What happened…?!
: The warp field is gone…! We’re not reading the Human Machinas anymore!
: W-We did it…!
: We won! We pushed back the Human Machinas…!
: (The future has changed, hm…?)
: (Judah… I guess not even you could see this far…)
: …



: Where’re you going, Jin?!
: …
: Unfortunately, Arnie, our eyes are set upon different worlds…
: You’re still being like that?!
: You were standing right there! I know you realize who we’re really supposed to be fighting…!
: A-Aargh…!
: Jin…?!
: Stay away!
: …?!
: I-I told you before… There’s no turning back the hands of time…
: Our fates… have taken different turns…
: Cpt. Spencer…
: …
: Goodbye, Arnie…



: …
: Jin, you…



: Welcome to the Army of Mankind…
: …
: Why’d you call me here…?
: Why, I just thought to give you a new role to play.
: A new role…?
: Hah. What are ya, a casting director for the world? Where’s your couch?
: I don’t have one. And you’re free to interpret what I say however you’d like.
: That said, you do not want to exit stage having played nothing but a fool, yes?
: …
: Go to this location, if you would.
: Hm? This is the old Russian…
: Are you telling me to go into hiding?!
: Just until the right moment…
: The right moment…?
: Yes, you’ll take to the stage right after everything is over…
: Or, better yet, after everything has begun.
: …
: Who the hell are you…?
: Don’t worry about me. Just head underground and save your strength.
: You’ll need it for when the curtain rises on the new stage…
: …



SRW UX - Rebellion Against Fate

: And I think everyone’s here.
: What’s this about?
: You can probably guess, but it’s about our showdown with the Human Machinas.
: This really isn’t over yet, huh…?
: We succeeded in destroying their warp field, but that is simply a temporary setback for them.
: There are still a lot of them within the moon…
: As well as the Human Machina’s ‘master’, the cause of this entire conundrum.
: The Human Machina’s master…
: And mankind will not truly be saved until we defeat him.
: Mind, we speak of a being that has been observing mankind since time immemorial. Thus, we speak of something quite akin to God. Their powers are wholly unknown to us.
: Y-You’re going to fight God…?!
: Um, can we even win against a guy like that?!
: We have a plan. But, first, we’ve spoken to Cmdr. Katou and have something to tell you…
: …
: The Katou Organization is joining the UX – effective immediately.
: C-Come again?!
: What… Wasn’t our alliance with them just a temporary thing?!
: He’s after the same thing as Ishigami and the rest of our team. There’s no reason to break this alliance now that we know that.
: But…!
: You’re free to complain about it, but it won’t change the situation.
: …
: We have to focus on the Human Machinas, as they’re not going to wait around for us…
: But the problem is that to beat their boss, we’ll need to break into their lunar stronghold…
: Good news is that the REQUIEM shot opened one huge passage into the moon.
: Bad news is that we can’t get an exact location of their GHQ from the outside.
: Our guess is that there’s a powerful jamming facility inside the moon.
: Then, if we want to take the fight to their leader, we’ll first need to destroy that facility…?
: Exactly. But the passage leading into the moon is very narrow and irregular…
: Thus, we have decided that the destruction of the jamming facility must be carried out as a solo hit-and-run mission.
: A-A solo mission...?!
: You want to send someone, alone, into the Human Machina’s territory?!
: All we need is a few seconds…
: If we can detect their stronghold’s position for just a few seconds, we can get its coordinates.
: And if we have its coordinates…
: We can Fold over to it!
: O-Oh, I get it…!
: We just need to know where their GHQ is located, and then we can Fold our whole team over there…!
: Hmhmm, sounds good. And I reckon that’s our job to tackle, right?
: Our Valkyries are mobile enough that even going into the moon shouldn’t be too much…!
: No, I’m afraid I’m not letting anyone but me take on this mission.
: Y-You’re…!
: …
: E-Eiji… Kiriyama!


Three new tacticians for us! Here’s what they bring to the table:

Furthermore, here are the battle convos I didn’t get:


: There were things like these hiding out on the moon…? I didn’t notice anything strange the last time we were up there.
: Well, we didn’t really have time to look around back then…!
: All the more reason why we need to set this right today. Let’s go wild!

--

: Look at the size of these buggers. Maybe we oughta close the distance and start pestering them by their feet?
: Careful. Move in carelessly and they’ll grab you. Long-range attacks are our safest bet…!
: The basics of battle are the same regardless of the enemy. We’ll have them routed in short order if every unit capitalizes on its strong points.

--

: I’m a bit worried that shooting at these is bad karma, but I guess this really isn’t the time to think about that, eh?
: And then some. You can put together a soul cleansing ritual for us later.


Phew, that was a lot to deal with, but there’s still more. If you couldn’t tell, Ishigami surviving was the Linebarrel’s secret, so that’s a big event changed. Sakomizu and Lu Bu arriving also changed stuff a bit, so let’s take it one step at a time.
First and foremost, when you kill two Human Machinas WITHOUT having saved either Sakomizu or Lu Bu and Diaochan. Ishigami and Katou’s convo is the same, Kouichi reminds him what Amagatsu really wanted and then it wraps up like this:


: The future penned by them…
: Yes, what he said…
: …
: Come on, folks! What say you we deal with these Human Machinas lickety-split and go secure ourselves a future?
: Absolutely! Observe the strength of humans and our pride, fiends!
: You heard him, maggots! Get your asses into gear and shove strength and pride down their throats!

And if you saved only one secret, you get the extra four babies and then the backup arrives. If you saved Sakomizu, it goes the same up until he says his mind is clear and then it goes like this:

: Father…!
: Shinjiro Sakomizu…!
: Admiral Katou, sir! I will now fulfill the vow I made before!
: Haaaaaaah!

*Morale up!*

: Young Suzuki, can you keep up?!
: Absolutely… I am a Holy Warrior!

*Combo attack!*

: Hah… Not even a Human Machina can withstand the combined might of two Holy Warriors!
: Oh, wow! There’s no way we’re losing this now, Shou!
: Yeah, having even a warrior of Sakomizu’s caliber helping us is a sight for sore eyes!
: Our counterattack begins now, Ultimate Cross! Charge!

And if you’ve only saved Lu Bu and Diaochan, the scene goes the same up until the new Human Machinas start blasting us:

: How are we supposed to fight against this…?!
: Is this all your souls amount to?!
: Th-This voice… It cannot be!

*Appear!*

: I-It’s…!
: They… They still live?!
: My name is Lu Bu! The warrior chosen by the will of the land…!
: The will of the land…?!
: Warriors who would confront the tides of fate! Open your ears and listen to the will of the land and of the heavens!
: …!

*Tzeeeeeeep.*

: Urk… Th-That’s…!
: The voice of the Yùxǐ again…?!
: Nay… This is!
: Indeed…!
: Gather at the beginning!
: Th-Those words…!
: (They have also crossed space and time…!)
: Haaaaaaaaaaah! Behold— MY SOOOOUUUUL!

*TAMASHIIIIIII!*

: H-He took out the Human Machina with a single attack?!
: Hmph, I understand. ‘The blade of the heavens shall emerge within the shadows… and as that blade is imbued with golden light, it shall turn into a heavenly fang to rend darkness asunder’!
: S-Such is a passage in the G-Records…!
: Then… General Lu Bu, a Shura, a being of shadows, has touched the light and been reborn as a blade of the heavens?!
: Ultimate Cross! If your spirit has not fizzled, then do battle beside us!
: The hammerblow of we, the hellish Shura, shall carve open your path!
: Ha, hahah… I can’t believe those pain-in-the-ass Shuras are now on our side!
: We’ll gladly borrow your strength once more, General Lu Bu!
: Troops, CHARGE!!

Now, at the end of the mission, if you didn’t unlock Ishigami, it carries on as you’d expect:

: Deploying field! Maximum output!
: STOOOOP!





: …





: My beloved friends… Goodbye.



: …
: Wh-What happened…?!
: We’ve lost Judah’s signal…
: It and the warp field… have both disappeared…



: N-No…!
: The president… This has gotta be a sick joke!
: Mr. Ishigami…
: …
: ‘An old Champion of Justice’… A-Are you joking?!
: A real Champion of Justice… wouldn’t make people hurt like this!
: Kouichi…
: Rgh… damn it… damn iiit…



: This is why… I can’t stand old people…

Jin leaves the same way, but there’s an added scene back at Judah before we cut to Novel and Sawatari:



: …
: Cmdr. Katou…
: You are Ishigami’s…
: Mr. Ishigami didn’t tell a lot of things…
: So I was a bit unsure if I really should deliver this to you.
: What’s in the case?
: It’s… Mr. Ishigami’s final message.
: …?!
: Alright. I’ll hear it.
: …
: …
(TV): Oh? It’s recording already?
: Umm… Well, I guess it’s been a long time since we’ve had a friendly chat, right, Commander?
: And I am truly sorry for everything I’ve done to you over the years.
: Ishigami…
: Since you’re watching this, you probably already know everything but…
: Regardless, I think the future we know is slowly but surely changing for the better…
: Of course, that’s certainly related to Kouichi becoming the singularity of our possibilities…
: But I think an even bigger reason is all the various overlapping possibilities we’re seeing.
: Overlapping possibilities…?
: I suppose we could chalk it up to the underlying truth of the world…
: That great unseen will tying all our fates together…
: But, regardless, I… Ah?! H-Hey, what gives?! I told you: no one can come in right now!
: …?
: Heh… That’s just like you, Ishigami…
: I’m recording a very, very important video you know!
: …



(Katou): Ishi…gami…

Finally, over by the final scene, it changes a bit if you didn’t save Ishigami:

: Everyone’s here, I think.
: …
: …
: I know no one’s in the mood for this, but we need to keep facing onwards right now.
: Our showdown with the Human Machinas depends on it.

And the rest is the same.
