Scenario 4 – School Campus Defence Corps


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!

Player Phase 1

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.

Enemy Phase 1

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’.


Player Phase 2

All of the mecha beasts zerg forward, so I just continue to run Kouji into the corner.

Enemy Phase 2

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).

Player Phase 3

Since our team starts a bit too far away, all we can do at this time is to move forward.

Enemy Phase 3


Player Phase 4

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.

Enemy Phase 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!


Player Phase 5

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.

Enemy Phase 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!


Player Phase 6


In PP6 I just continue using as many support attacks as possible to clean up the remaining grunts.

Enemy Phase 6

Player Phase 7

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.

Macross Quarter Briefing Room

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

  2. Kaze Koichi

    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).

  3. YJ

    @Kaze Koichi
    Thanks for the pickup, I’ve fixed it.

  4. ZeroMiles

    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.

  5. YJ

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