第4話 学園都市防衛隊
Scenario 4: School Campus Defense Corps
|
|
Kaname |
Guys, are you alright?! |
|
Sousuke |
Chidori! What happened?! |
|
Kaname |
I-I don’t know but…a group of army cosplayers showed up out of nowhere and took Kyoko, Suzune-sensei and…! |
|
Kouji |
And they were stashed inside those capsures in the mechabeast’s body?! |
|
Alto |
Sousuke! You take Kaname to safety! |
|
Sousuke |
Roger! |
|
Kaname |
H-hold on! What’ll happen to Kyoko and the others?! |
|
Kouji |
It’s alright! We’ll make sure to rescue them! |
|
Kaname |
Kabuto-kun… |
|
Sousuke |
Let’s go, Chidori |
|
Kaname |
Y-yes. |
|
Michel |
Just received a message from the Quarter. They’re already coming over. |
|
Alto |
But if we don’t play this right, the lives of the hostages will be in danger…! |
|
Watta |
What do we do, then?! |
|
Hibiki |
Damn! |
|
Klan |
Wait, Hibiki! Where are you going?! |
|
Shoutarou |
You can’t do it alone! You have to work with us! |
|
Alto |
Urgh…! He’s too hot-headed! |
|
Michel |
Leave him! We need to do something about this situation first! |
|
Kouji |
Guys…I think I have an idea. |
|
Sayaka |
Kouji-kun… |
|
Brocken |
MWAHAHAHA! What CAN you do, Kouji Kabuto! |
|
Brocken |
I have long awaited the day where I would get revenge on you! Now, curse your powerlessness, and watch this town burn! |
|
Brocken |
Go, Grogos G5! |
|
Kyoko |
Kyaaaaaah! |
|
Shiori |
The town! Our school! |
|
Suzune |
You can’t! Stop! |
|
Brocken |
AHAHA! Did you see that, Kouji Kabuto?! This was an offering to our defeated master – Dr. Hell! |
|
|
Brocken |
Kouji Kabuto and the Yumi girl?! |
|
Kouji |
Brocken, your beef is with me! So don’t go bringing other people into this! |
|
Brocken |
MWAHAHA! I’m not so naïve as to fall for that! |
|
Kouji |
Damn it! |
|
Brocken |
Hm, are you trying to resist? Then, I’ll just go ahead and crush one of the capsules holding a hostage! |
|
Kouji |
No! Stop! |
|
Brocken |
That’s it! That’s what I wanted to hear! Scream some more! |
|
|
Brocken |
Kabuto Kouji and Sayaka Yumi! If any of you try to resist, the lives of the hostages are forfeit! |
|
Kouji |
Damn! Why you, Brocken! |
|
Brocken |
Mwahaha…frustrated? Despair even more! |
|
Brocken |
I also know that the Photon Power in the Mazinger is running low! |
|
Kouji |
! |
|
Brocken |
Looks like you overdid it during the Regeneration War! HAHAHA! Both you and the Mazinger are cursed with powerlessness! |
|
Kouji |
That Brocken! He did his research on the Mazinger, eh…? |
|
Sayaka |
Kouji-kun… |
|
Kouji |
Sorry, Sayaka…I’m betting on some pretty lousy odds and I brought you along for ti. |
|
Sayaka |
Don’t worry about me. With Venus A’s repair function, I should be able to help out. |
|
Kouji |
Right…! |
|
Brocken |
Go, Grogos G5, Talos soldiers! Play with our obedient little Kabuto Kouji! |
|
The stage finally begins with no SR Point yet. As Brocken mentioned you can’t do anything otherwise he’ll blow up the hostages, so just run Kouji onto a nearby building for some extra defense.
|
|
Kouji |
Urgh…! |
|
Sayaka |
Kouji-kun! |
|
Kouji |
I’m alright, Sayaka. I have it way easier than what the hostages are going through…! |
Even though Sayaka took the hit for you?!
|
Kouji |
Taking these attacks on the chin is nothing compared to that! |
Well I guess she is pretty ‘well-cushioned’.
|
All of the mecha beasts zerg forward, so I just continue to run Kouji into the corner.
|
|
Hibiki |
This guy…does he even realize what sort of handicap the hostages will be trying to save them…? |
|
Hibiki |
Then again by comparison, there’s nothing I can even do… |
|
Brocken |
Hahahahaha! So this is the true Kabuto Kouji and the fabeled “Invincible” Mazinger Z? |
|
Kouji |
Dammit…At this rate, I’ll just be delaying my own death…! |
|
Sayaka |
Don’t give up, Kouji-kun! |
|
Kouji |
But I can’t do anything! I… I need to rescue everyone before I can fight them! |
|
Brocken |
Quite correct, Kabuto Kouji! All of Mazinger’s weapons are too strong to use against Grogos without destroying a capsule too! |
|
Brocken |
Today, Mazinger’s own power is a curse to itself! |
|
Kouji |
At the very least, I have put a stop to this machine beast… |
|
Brocken |
Hm? Feeling useless? Then let me tell you something so you can feel even more useless! |
|
Brocken |
Grogos’ has two weak points in its control circuit! If you could strike them at the same time, it could very well stop Grogos in its tracks! |
|
Kouji |
What!? |
|
Brocken |
However, it’s useless to try! Such a two part precision attack is impossible with Mazinger’s clumsy weapons! |
|
Brocken |
So! Better keep him pinned down in the meantime! |
|
Kouji |
…hiting those points would be totally impossbile with Mazinger’s weapons… |
|
Kouji |
That’s why, Brocken, I don’t have to rely on only Mazinger’s strength today! |
|
|
Michel |
OK, Kouji! Even Alto’s impressed with your nice acting! |
|
Kurz |
Leave the rest to us! |
Ahh yes, the good ol’ “I’ll reveal my weakpoint to the heroes and they’ll inevitably take advantage of it” cliche.
|
|
Brocken |
I-Impossible! They shot the two power joints at the same time! |
|
Michel |
Too bad for you, Brocken |
|
Kurz |
Your enemy isn’t just the Mazinger! |
|
Kouji |
Boss! |
|
Boss |
Leave it to me, Kabuto! |
|
|
Boss |
Nuke, Mucha! While I keep him pinned down, you go and rescue the hostages! |
|
Nuke |
Roger that, Boss! |
|
Mucha |
ORAORAORAORAAAAAA! |
|
Brocken |
I-Impossible! Stop it, you! |
|
Kouji |
Boss stopped him! |
|
Brocken |
Not good! At this rate, the hostages will–! |
|
Kouji |
Your mistake was getting so hung up on me that you forgot about my friends! |
|
Brocken |
Damn you! Snipers…I should’ve forseen such an ugly deception from the beggining! |
|
Boss |
Shaddap, no neck! I’ll make a rugby ball outta yer head someday! |
|
Nuke |
Boss, don’t get ahead of yourself! We gotta get moving! |
|
Mucha |
Look! I think teacher is inside the breaking capsule! |
|
Brocken |
Move, Grogos! At the very least, I’ll send one person to hell today! |
|
Suzune |
Kyahhhhh! |
|
Sayaka |
Sensei’s falling out! |
|
Hibiki |
! |
|
Hibiki |
(…I…I’m useless…Someone’s dying right in front of my eyes and I can’t do a thing…) |
|
Hibiki |
(If only I could get into the Genion, then I…. I….!) |
|
Hibiki |
I could save everyone! |
|
Well you can’t exactly see it in a screenshot, but Hibiki runs like a really fast mofo and manages to catch Suzune before she goes splat.
|
Suzune |
Kyaa! |
|
Hibiki |
You’re going to be alright, Sensei! |
|
Suzune |
Ah…Kamashito-kun…When did you… |
|
Hibiki |
…I really don’t understand it either… |
|
Kouji |
What just happened!? That guy, he was able to move over that distance in an instant! |
|
Sayaka |
He seems to have sensei with him now too! |
|
Suzune |
Kamashiro-kun! We have to hurry and run! |
|
Hibiki |
…No more running… |
|
Suzune |
Huh…? |
|
Hibiki |
I will fight! |
|
|
Suzune |
Kamashiro-kun… |
|
Hibiki |
I will protect you, sensei! |
|
Monica |
Captain! Boss Borot has successfully rescued the hostages! One of them is accounted for in the Genion! |
|
Cathy |
Skull 2, Urzu 6, both of you prepare to resortie immediately. |
|
Jeffrey |
Kouji, Hibiki…! Move into formation and maintain positions! |
|
Kouji |
Got it! |
With no where else to go, Boss and Hibiki form the odd couple.
|
Boss |
I don’t know if you used some sorta magic trick to go that fast, but I got that feeling that you’ve got some real guts in ya. |
|
Boss |
This Boss’ got yer back! Give ’em hell! |
|
Hibiki |
I will survive…! |
|
|
Watta |
Nice try, Brocken! Your petty schemes are done for! |
|
Brocken |
That bastard Kouji brought his friends! |
|
Kouji |
Hope you’re ready, cause you don’t wanna miss this, Brocken! |
|
Kouji |
Mazinger and I are sorry that we’re gonna have to get our hands dirty dealing with a scumbag like you! |
|
Watta |
Takeo General Company will do its part too! |
|
Kakkikouji |
Yes, Mr. President! We always do our best! |
|
Ozma |
Remember Hibiki! The chain of command is dependent on the enemy mothership! |
|
Ozma |
Enemy forces will receive orders on what formations and tactics to use from it! |
|
Mao |
In short, if you can down the enemy mothership, the rest of them will be easy to rout! |
But guys…defeating the mothership first is not profitable!
|
Hibiki |
Roger that! I had a feeling that’s how we’d go about it… |
|
Suzune |
Kamashiro-kun…! Do you know what’s going on!? |
|
Hibiki |
I’ll explain it all later! I have to deal with these guys first! |
|
Suzune |
But…! |
|
Hibiki |
Sensei, please sit on that panel up there! |
|
Kouji |
Here I come, Brocken! I’ll be sending you back to Hell! |
|
Finally the SR Point appears. Defeat Brocken (Runs at 6000 HP).
|
Since our team starts a bit too far away, all we can do at this time is to move forward.
|
|
We’re getting closer but still only a few guys are in range to attack…
|
Suzune |
Kamishiro-kun…?! |
|
Hibiki |
Please, hold on tight! |
|
Suzune |
But…even if you say that–! |
|
Hibiki |
If you don’t want to die, listen to what I say! |
|
Suzune |
I-I understand… |
|
Hibiki |
At least, I’ll make sure to keep you safe! I promise! |
|
End of turn 4.
|
|
Kouji |
Hope you’re ready, Machine Beast Army! You’re not gonna want to miss this! Everything up until now can’t even compare! |
|
Kouji |
Mazinger can fight even without Big Bang Punch! |
|
Kouji |
Mazinger’s about to explode with anger after seeing you use hostages like that!
|
|
It’s starting to become a bit of a clusterfuck now.
|
Using Multi-Action I have Hibiki position himself in the middle of the enemies for some good support attack.
|
|
Watta |
This is the Takeo General Company’s new first test drive exhibition! Everyone, put your spirit into it and yell! |
|
Kakkikouji |
Understood, Mr. President! |
|
Tetsuo |
We’ll also suport Trider in the shuttle! |
|
Ikue |
Of course, once you’ve finished the job safe and sound, I promise you a delicious snack! |
|
Kinoshita |
That’s why it works! Let’s go Pa~tsu! |
|
Watta |
Alright! Takeo General Company, attack start! |
|
I used all of Hibiki’s and Tetsujin’s support attacks to help speed up the process.
|
End of Turn 5.
|
|
Brocken |
Kabuto Kouji! You annoying pest! |
Ugh after one too many support defends for Kouji, Sayaka gets the bomb from Brocken and blows up 🙁
|
Kouji |
Count Brocken! No matter how many times you come back, as long as Mazinger and I are around, you ain’t gonna do as you please! |
|
Kouji |
I’m gonna pound the fear of Mazinger into your bones one more time! |
|
In PP6 I just continue using as many support attacks as possible to clean up the remaining grunts.
|
|
With all the grunts dead, it’s time to focus on the Mecha Beast.
|
He finally goes down to Hibiki, and drops a Chobham Armor
|
Brocken is mostly undamaged and has 28,000HP. I don’t think I can defeat him this turn. Or can I?
|
First is Sousuke/Kurz.
|
Sousuke |
The target is the enemy carrier. |
|
Brocken |
Do you really think an AS could stand up to my Ghoul?! |
|
Sousuke |
A person running their big mouth on the battlefield won’t live very long. That’s a time-honored rule. |
~4K damage.
|
Next is Alto/Ox.
|
Brocken |
Uwah! He’s still flying all over the damn place! |
|
Alto |
As if that big headed ship of yours could keep up with me! |
|
Brocken |
Are you trying to insult my Ghoul?! |
|
Alto |
Insult?! You kidnapped my teacher and new classmates and you’re getting pissed?! |
|
Alto |
Get ready! I’ll knock that bomber right off the sky! |
~9K damage.
|
|
Shoutarou |
Villains! Only true cowards would take hostages! |
|
Brocken |
Shutup, impudent boy! If you fight, you fight to win! |
|
Shoutarou |
But you bad guys will always lose! Cowardly actions are never rewarded! |
|
Shoutarou |
Let’s do it, Tetsujin! Don’t even give him a chance to escape! |
Tetsujin gives him a little tap, doing 2.3K, bringing him down to 6.9K.
|
Uh-oh.
|
The final attack is Kouji supported by Hibiki.
|
The photon beam does a whopping 6.5K on it’s own, letting Hibiki easily finish it off as an assist.
|
SR Point GET!
|
|
Brocken |
D-Damn you! My Ghoul will not lose here! |
|
Kouji |
This one is really gonna hurt, Brocken! |
|
Hibiki |
Here I go! |
|
|
Hibiki |
I will never forgive scum like you! |
|
Suzune |
Kamashiro-kun! |
|
Hibiki |
…! |
|
Hibiki |
This is the final blow! |
|
|
Brocken |
Uwaghhh! All hands, retreat! Hurryyy! |
|
|
Klan |
What on earth was that attack from Genion just now? |
|
Luca |
I don’t know…! Until up to yesterday, we’ve had little to no data on its attack data! |
|
Alto |
Hibiki…just now… |
|
Hibiki |
I…I’m not sure either… |
|
Hibiki |
But for a short moment, Genion’s output increased dramatically… |
|
Kouji |
That was a nice combo! Not bad! |
|
Hibiki |
Thanks… |
|
Hibiki |
(With this power that I inherited…I’ll be able to fight for everyone in the future.) |
|
Ikue |
Mr President, the enemy is completely wiped out. |
|
Tetsuo |
And the city has sustained minimal damage. |
|
Watta |
Hehe, this is the School Campus Defense Corps’s first victory! |
|
Sayaka |
We did it Kouji-kun! |
|
Kouji |
… |
|
Sayaka |
Kouji? |
|
Kouji |
Forget it, it’s nothing… |
|
Kouji |
(Brocken was alive…Dr. Hell should be dead too, but this could mean…) |
|
Hibiki |
*panting* |
|
Suzune |
Are you alright, Kamishiro-kun? |
|
Hibiki |
Somehow… |
|
Suzune |
(This boy…) |
|
Hibiki |
Sensei, are your hurt anywhere? |
|
Suzune |
No…thank you, Kamishiro-kun. |
|
Suzune |
But you have to promise to tell me everything. |
|
Suzune |
Everything about ‘that day’, this robot… and these people you’re fighting alongside. |
|
Hibiki |
…I understand. |
|
|
Suzune |
..So I have a rough understanding of the situation so far. |
|
Jeffrey |
That student of yours is quite strong, and honorably agreed to join out forces to fight alongside us. |
|
Suzune |
Is it really alright to have a youth his age in fighting for you? |
|
Ozma |
That’s something that’s up to the youth who fight to decide, not us. |
|
Sousuke |
….. |
|
Alto |
….. |
|
Suzune |
But, listen to me… Are you all fighting because you want to? |
|
Alto |
This is as much my father’s wish as it is a way of life I have chosen. |
|
Kouji |
I decided to use the power of Mazinger Gramps entrusted in me to fight for the sake of peace. |
|
Watta |
I also inherited my father’s will to lead this company and pilot Trider. This isn’t something I can afford run away from. |
|
Shoutarou |
I will also fight against villainy using Tetsujin, whom my father built for the sake of peace |
|
Hibiki |
(Everyone…They’re all fighting for the same reason…) |
|
Hibiki |
(It’s the same as what’s happened to me…) |
|
Sousuke |
… |
|
Suzune |
Sagara-kun? |
|
Sousuke |
I am a soldier. |
|
Suzune |
…And what about you Kamashiro-kun? The way you got involved, you must not want to be in that robot. |
|
Suzune |
Because you had a shallow reason to become its pilot… |
|
Hibiki |
That’s wrong. |
|
Suzune |
Kamashiro-kun… |
|
Hibiki |
No matter what happens or what’s said, I will never stop piloting the Genion. |
|
Suzune |
|
|
Jeffrey |
Miss Saijo…worrying about your student’s wishes is a natural thing for a teacher. |
|
Jeffrey |
But, they are all fighting of their own voilition. |
|
Suzune |
And to respect their wishes is to be a good teacher? |
|
Jeffrey |
That’s the thing about being a good adult. |
|
Jeffrey |
It is the responbility of adults to accept the will of the young people, and to help them give meaning their wishes. |
|
Suzune |
… |
|
Suzune |
As strong as their will or whatever intentions they may be, I won’t allow it. Therefore, I will stop them from fighting, and report this matter to the school immediately. |
|
Hibiki |
Sensei… |
|
Suzune |
You’re students being exposing to life threatening danger! I can’t just stand and watch in silence! |
|
AG |
If I may, so what? Sensei is part the problem too! |
|
Sayaka |
Kyaa! |
|
Boss |
Huh, a robot!? Where did it come from? |
|
Hibiki |
Keep your mouth shut, AG…! |
|
AG |
But, Hibiki-san.. Even you don’t know the true capabiltiies of the Genion…! |
|
AG |
Somehow, by placing sensei on the panel seat above you, it triggered a hidden power |
|
Hibiki |
What do you mean? |
|
AG |
I have a theory that the will and sound of someone who was trying to protect the teacher caused the Genion to react to their wishes… |
|
Ozma |
What kind of theory is that? |
|
AG |
Well… I don’t really understand the technical aspects of it… |
|
Ozma |
Well, what about that phenoena where Hibiki accelerated to super speed to save her? |
|
AG |
While I don’t really understand, when the Genion recognized its pilot’s presence, it reacted with such a phenomena… |
|
AG |
By my own calculations, it seems that Hibiki-san’s abilities have increased to approximately 10 times of a normal human… |
|
AG |
This includes a 10 times increase speed as well asmental processing. |
|
Jeffrey |
A boost-up, you could call it… |
|
Hibiki |
10 times as much as my original will… |
|
AG |
However, taking into account the physical limitations of Hibiki-san’s body, he will be limited to use this 10 times ability increase continuously no more than an hour before his body wears out. |
|
Hibiki |
That’s enough time. This power will help me pilot the Genion. |
|
Suzune |
It will help you, but it won’t be enough. |
|
Hibiki |
Huh…? |
|
Suzune |
Captain Jeffery, I would like to supervise the students and join this organization. |
|
Suzune |
I will determine the the proper direct guidance for each, especially Kamashiro-kun. |
|
Hibiki |
Direct guidance…? |
|
AG |
I wonder, Hibiki: What sort of private lessons will Suzune Sensei give in the cockpit of the Genion? |
|
Kouji |
But, sensei…! |
|
Suzune |
And I think that having someone who can write up convient absences for you all from school would be useful. An early suspension or expulsion for poor planning would mean you’d have to change schools, right? |
|
Alto |
So it sounds… |
|
Suzune |
As I don’t try to stop you guys from your will, you won’t stop me from mine. |
|
Watta |
Wow…Well said, sensei. |
|
Shoutarou |
Still, it’s a reassuring thing to hear. |
|
Suzune |
Is this acceptable, Captain Jeffery |
|
Jeffrey |
I understand, Miss Saijo. I welcome you to our ranks. |
|
Jeffrey |
At the same time, may I praise you for your dedication to the role of those called sensei by her students. |
|
Suzune |
Thank you very much. |
|
AG |
If that’s decided, I will go about preparing the Genion to seat two pilots. |
|
Suzune |
Thank you, Mr. Robot. |
|
AG |
Please call me AG |
|
Suzune |
Very well. Thank you, AG-san. |
|
AG |
Yay, happiness! |
|
Alto |
What…Didn’t you ask me to stop refering to you with “san”? |
|
AG |
U~nn… If Suzune is the one calling me san it’s OK |
|
Alto |
It suits this guy… |
|
Watta |
Well, I’ll see you all later! It was nice metting you, Suzune Sensei…You too Hibiki-san! |
|
Kouji |
You’ve got more guts than you give yourself credit for. |
|
Hibiki |
…earlier today, I just stood there while you fought alone against all odds, I just felt so powerless… |
|
Kouji |
I know how hard it is. I was like you a long time ago. |
|
Hibiki |
Oh… |
|
Kouji |
That’s why I don’t hold anything against you for it! |
|
Watta |
Me too! But from now on, you’ll fight together with us, Hibiki-san! |
|
Hibiki |
Ah… |
|
Suzune |
And from now on, we’ll be partners. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Knight. |
|
Hibiki |
What!? How do you know that name!? |
|
Suzune |
(I … I’m actually also a regular visitor of the occult that forum. I found an essay that you’ve done in the classroom has the same habits with your writing, and it worried me) |
|
Hibiki |
(Everyone’s on that thing…) |
|
Suzune |
(Haha…It’s not really a hobby to boast about is it? You’re always silent to everyone.) |
|
Kouji |
Hey now, Hibiki. What’s with you and sensei getting all secretive all of a sudden? |
|
Suzune |
Nothing~ Just a secret story between partners~ |
|
Watta |
Hey Hibiki-san! Now I want to be Suzune’s partner too! |
|
Ozma |
Don’t think of things inappropriate for your age now! |
|
Watta |
I’ve been growing up a lot, Major! |
|
Ozma |
I see. Well, Kabuto Kouji, it seems here we part ways. |
|
Kouji |
Leave it to us! We’ll protect Jindai Highschool and the city! |
|
Jeffrey |
Hm…So this is the earnest staff of the “School Campus Defense Corps” |
|
Hibiki |
(School Campus Defense Corps…Suzune-sensei…) |
|
Hibiki |
(This is where I’ll grow stronger than ever…) |
|
|
Brocken |
Forgive me…! Curses, I wasted precious strength! |
|
Brocken |
I, Brocken, vow this! Next time, I will prove my ability to put down and crush those fools! |
|
Ashura |
I honestly don’t care about your own failings, Brocken |
|
Ashura |
Today’s battle was but a small loss. |
|
Brocken |
You were the comrade who saved me from death, and I will never forget that. |
|
Brocken |
Combining out power, we could avenge Dr Hell..! |
|
Ashura |
Of course, Brocken. Even with Dr. Hell’s death, our fight is far from over. |
|
Ashura |
To defeat our nemesis Kabuto Kouji his Mazinger Z, I will sacrifice the world on the grave of Doctor Hell! |
|
Brocken |
Yes! We will take every opportunity! |
|
Ashura |
(Fufu…You can count on it, Brocken.) |
|
Ashura |
(I’ll proceed with my preparations. Preparations for my true plan…) |
|
yawzah! brockenball at an early part of the game! with sphere activation preview maybe?
love that canaria already has the “call up monster girl” pinup on her konigsmonster already.
I’m also finding the expressions for sensei in the Genion’s cockpit and AG’s face when being called AG-san by sensei hilarious.
What’s with this “ZEXIS caused my despair” thing though?! Was he a Limonencia native?! DUNDUNDUN
That was very nice to read, thank you for your efford. But you incerted the same conversation twice (the one when Hibiki promised to keep sensei safe).
@Kaze Koichi
Thanks for the pickup, I’ve fixed it.
Ah, good old Brocken. He just couldn’t resist giving away the weak point of the Mechabest…
Loved the dialogue in the intermission before the stage, especially the bits with Klan and Watta.
Funny thing that happened to me: Since I don’t know much Japanese (I know just enough to play the games), I actually had Kouji counter attack a stone golem by accident before the sniper event (in my first try), which resulted in very dead students. Woops.
Besides that, it’s a pretty easy level. As shown, the Photon Beam by itself can shave the 6K needed to destroy the Ghoul. I managed to keep Sayaka from blowing up, and I used the Maximum Break when it had 8K of HP left. It did around 11K of damage.

Yeah I accidentally got the game over in my first run too (even though someone warned me about it) LOL.
