Acacia Sgt Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Scenario 28: Showdown with the Martian Successors Alright, we be at The Prince of Darkness finale now. Two story finales back to back... well, actually, Expelled from Paradise has a Light Novel sequel, but SRW T doesn't include it. As it stands, I should mention that the movie did ended without an outright resolution. The DEVA High Officials are still at large and their plans still in motion. Maybe the light novel addresses this, and perhaps the game itself might still do something, but as far as the movie itself goes, we're done. Anyway, the stage begins... not at Mars, but rather a city. A couple Martian Successor mechs Boson Jump in, but most blow up, not surviving the process. One of the remaining pilots isn't happy with this margin of error, but the other says it's enough to sow terror on the masses. What they need is to stabilize somethin they call the Sleeping Beauty. In any case, they take this chance to announce to the people they'll bring in a new world order, and Boson Jump out. It seems it wasn't an isolated incident. As Akatsuki reports to Goldwin, they've been doing this for days now. In addition, all the Boson Jumping means they got a Super A-Class Jumper, but more shockingly, they can let others do the jump. The likely reason they had been kidnapping jumpers and experiment on them. In any case, the Mars Polar Cap Ruins is where they're keeping the Calculation Unit, the place that controls all Boson Jumps. Once they can perfect the Boson Jump, they'll likely see the Federation's surrender, and in case of refusal, enact pinpoint strikes to strike a coup. Thus, they can only rely on the T3 to stop them. Akatsuki has prepared something out to help them, but isn't sure if it will arrive in time. Still, they both place their faith on them to succeed. Now see, Interdimensional, this is why it was a good thing they jettisoned the Calculation Unit off into deep space in SRW A. This is what happens should the movie be allowed to happen! On Mars itself, at the Martian Successors' HQ, Yamasaki reports to Kusakabe that Boson Jump accuracy is rising. Soon they can put their plan into motion. The pinnacle of their research, controlling an A-Class Jumper's thoughts from the outside to allow a specific target to jump to a specific location. That's why they did all those experiments. In the end, their breakthrough was the synchronized thoughts of a husband and wife couple, the one showing the highest synch rate. Said couple having been none other than Akito and Yurika. Kusakabe notes the irony how the destroyers of the Jovian Federation were now the unwitting test subjects. Even with Akito's escape, they were able to emulate him, and thanks to Neo Zeon providing a Psycommu, they got the system to still have it contact with her, and they to the ruins. Now they need more testing to get the accuracy as high as possible. Yamasaki worries they might not have time, for T3 is already on Mars, but Kusakabe has it covered. A... human weapon of sorts. Once the Federation falls, they'll go after Neo Zeon next. So they need as much arsenal as they can get. At the Calculation Unit itself, Hokushin tells the imprisoned Yurika that Akito on his way... and he'll be there to receive him... Back with the heroes, it seems Domon and Akito have finished their training sessions. It's now all up to the latter for the rest. If this leads to a Love-Love Boson Jump Tenkyoken then... Elsewhere, Tochiro has finished overhauling Chirico's Scopedog. That's not only a stat boost, but also gainst the Turbo Custom parts. End result might be too much, but Chirico finds it no problem. He'll be there to support Akito. On the subject, Akito is asked if he knows what he'll do once he defeats Hokushin. He has an answer to that, but before he can say, Hokushin himself Boson Jumps in! Who then rubs it in it was thanks to Akito himself and Yurika. He's not alone, for more footsoldiers warp into the battleships. Their objection being... Ruri. Hokushin mocks Akito that he won't be able to protect her just like how he couldn't protect Yurika. Still, a fight ensues, though Spike runs off to the Nadesico. Over there, Spike reached the bridge. Chibodee is there, but he's having trouble fighting a man named Tongpu, who also smacks Spike without much trouble. Alas, they can't stop him from taking Ruri. Now in the aftermath, Saburouta explains Tongpu is a human weapon created by the Jovian Federation through human modification. The one survivor when the Jovian research centers collapsed. In spite of his current condition, Spike vows to support Akito as well, commenting they're in not too dissimilar situations... T3 has reached the polar cap ruins. Harry is told to withdraw, the Nadesico having come off the worst out of the attack. The group deploys, encouraging Akito to hurry into the ruins and rescue Yurika. They'll support him all the way. The welcoming party comes out, but curiously Hokushin isn't present... yet. So, let's begin! Okay, so, the objective is to get Akito into the ruins within three minutes/turns. SR Point is to defeat twenty enemies before that happens. Enemies are Battas, Majins, and Shishikis. Their Distortion Fields will be a problem... but I can do this!

Acacia Sgt Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Moving Akito closer, a warship emerges from the ruins. He recognizes it as the Eucharis. The pilot, a young girl named Lapis... suddenly sends a gravity wave at the party! They comment they may have to take it out in order to stop it, but Akito tells them not to. He explains Lapis was a Designed Human from Nergal, and had been supporting him until... Hokushin arrives to finish that sentence. He got defeated, and Lapis was captured and subjected to mind control. And of course he then gloats how it's just one more of Akito's failures. He and Lapis withdraw... and then more AT mechs show up, led by Yazan. Kamille and Judau accuse him if he doesn't care to become the pawn of aliens, but Yazan says it won't matter being an Earthling or not. He can live so long there's a war to fight. Despite the situation becoming dire, T3 won't give up, telling Akito that he can do it. Save everyone and stop the Martian Successors. The plan goes on! Okay, so, more Scopedogs and Standing Tortoises, led by Yazan in his Hambrabi. Well, the good thing here is that these will be easier to take down for the SR Point. Let's go!

It reminds me that video games are malleable constructs, which I don't like to think during the playing of them. And I prefer to play things as they were -for better or worse- officially released. Even something nice -e.g. that FE Fates same-sex S Supports hack- wouldn't interest me, as in that example I would know the supports and any new dialogue written for them aren't actually part of the game. -I have nothing against mods though, and have no qualms with anyone using them. If "immersion" in the "naturalness" of a video game isn't a big deal for you, and you see each game as a toy box you can mess with as much as you want as soon as the developer surrenders it and puts it up for sale, then I'm fine with that. Make the game what you want it to be if that's your style. I can also appreciate any effort that modders place into their creations, particularly the more elaborate ones, since mods can be real labors of love that go unrewarded. And it's not to say that I wouldn't give an au naturale mod that included guys the time of day.😛 1 hour ago, Punished Dayni said: I guess Christ-like and Christian doesn't have much overlap? Well, they say Christ would not have called himself Christian. Christianity began its life as a Jewish sect after all, it's not until around the end of the 1st or early 2nd century CE IIRC that scholars see Christianity making the full definitive break from Judaism. There is also the joke that Paul is the real founder of Christianity. So much for Peter being the rock of the faith, gets upstaged by a guy who from what little I'm aware of never met Christ before the resurrection. Spreading Christianity through the Roman Empire which would eventually embrace it and from it the entirety of Europe, having a bunch of his -supposedly his- epistles make it into the New Testament, the foundations for the oversimplifying jest aren't exactly flimsy. 2 hours ago, twilitfalchion said: The holidays were an interesting mix of fun and weirdly depressing this year.

To be brief… Spoiler Altina is an artificial homunculus, created by one of the evil organizations to do their bidding and follow their orders. As she exists just to do what they say, that’s really all she does and ever thinks about, so she comes across very robotic and quite literally lacks emotion. As part of her missions assigned to her, she ends up partnering with Rean Schwarzer, which is a name I’m sure you recognize, who is also working the government. This isn’t stated, but it’s kinda implied he’s one of the first people to truly care about her and value her as a human being. But after they’ve finished working as partners for a bit, Rean stops taking orders from the government and becomes a teacher at a branch campus of the school he graduated from, only to discover that Altina is in his class. This experimental class puts her with classmates from a variety of different backgrounds who journey around because reasons, and as she journeys around with them and Rean she begins to understand more and more the value of other people and emotions. She becomes happy and we see her smile for the first time. Then spoilers, at the end of the game her “sister” (another homunculus and probably the actual first person to value her) sacrifices herself for everyone and she shows raw emotion, then Rean is captured and separated from the group and at the beginning of the next game she decides to finally decide things for herself and goes on a quest to rescue Rean with her classmates. This is all elevated by a performance from the wonderful Xanthe Huynh, who takes the character from this to this in a believable and awesome way. …I really just wrote that much on Altina huh (two ish paragraphs with one of them being kinda long is a lot for me) Edited January 2, 2023 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
