With only 46,000 credits, I manage to drop some upgrades on Nova Eagle before commencing the mission. It sucks being broke.
Before the mission starts there’s a route split to decide first.
This choice of split is only available for anyone who chose to follow CB at the previous split, anyone else will continue on whichever route they were already on. The team can either head to Britannia-Union Japan, or the Area 11 Japan. The split gives access to the following teams:
Japan
Shin Mazinger
Dai-Guard
Trider G7
Godmars
Gurren Lagann
Area 11
VOTOMS
Gundam Wing
Code Geass
Macross Frontier
Either route lets us use the units we already have, which are CB, Dancouga Nova and Getter. Since I kinda want to get Mazinger and Gurenn Lagann on my team, I go with Japan route.
Oh I also forgot to mention, this next mission is the same, regardless of which route you are on, it just changes the next few missions following and which units appear as reinforcements.
第9話：次元震
Stage 9 – Dimensional Quake
The action starts at Scott Labs in Japan, when a bunch of Eureka 7 enemies show up (10 in total, south of Crows starting position).
After 3 kills, Crow wonders where the hell CB are.
Instead, Holland and Talho show up. Holland’s Terminus 303 is just as nuts as his Z1 version, with plenty of ammo, great range and damage.
On Turn 2, Crow has taken some damage and is now 1337. Unfortunately he gets blown up at the enemy turn, so I need to restart.
On turn 3, it’s just one of the big ones that remain. Holland takes it.
After the last one dies, some more enemy reinforcements appear, this time dimensional beasts, another 10.
On turn 4, the Ptolemiaos, Getter, and Dancouga finally show up to the north.
I sense a disturbance in the force.
Oh shiiiiiii
Well if he wasn’t dead enough before, he is now.
CROWWWWW
The SR Point is revealed, destroy everything except the big Rhino in 3 turns.
After another 2 kills…
MAZINGER Z FUCK YES. Oh yeah and some other dudes.
Goddamn, he’s a real powerhouse. A real morale/EN thirsty one though. And his ultimate attack is Photonic Beam Now wtf?!
Turn 5.
Turn 6.
Which can be summarised by the following screens.
CRAAASH
POW
STAAAB
THWACKK
MELTZ0RZ
CRAACCK
HOLY PHOTONIC BEAM BATMAN
You’ve got access to so much firepower now, the SR point is a joke. The rhino runs after you kill everything else though. And the Eureka 7 dudes run as well.
Everyone gets an extra 5 PP because someone has the 社長 (President) skill. Not sure who it is, but who am I to complain?
There’s a short sequence between Tria and Crow, who’s recovering in the hospital from being impaled by a giant rhino. It not all for nothing, as she makes another deduction from Crow’s debt for getting some data on the rhino, and he’s down to 990,000G.
