FEBRUARY 22nd:
Hoo boy, this is a long one.
SCENARIO 50: Battle For The Three Earths
We end up in a distorted space. Below us are all three Earths; now the UCC one is becoming part of the space-time fusion. Also, there's,,,Arzenal?! Embryo explains, this is the TRUE Arzenal. He explains: long ago, due to the use of Ragna-Mail, Dragunium (aka Getter Rays) were released, ruining the face of the Earth. It warped even the dimensions itself, causing events to go into two different paths. In one world, only the Dragon Clan survived. But in the other, civilization collapsed entirely, and a new culture was born. That was the NCC dimension. That's why the NCC and UC worlds were so similar, because they were once the same world! But the UC dimension came to resemble the NCC more too due to the lack of the dragon clan's influence, though it also ended up around 100 years behind as a result. As for why he's doing it? He just doesn't want them existing since he didn't make them, is all.
Now there's a singularity behind all this, as NIne speculates. Embryo praises her, but says does she know who it is? Sanada on the Yamato chimes in: it's Kaname Sagara.
Naturally, the FMP cast reacts with surprise. In the NCC world, she was a scientist who lived on their Earth 100 years ago. A parallel version of Kaname Chidori. However, she lost her husband in a war, and decided to dedicate her research to heretical work like changing the past. Leonard pops in to state his motivations (the world's a mess of Getter Radiation and from Second Impact, all the wars, and his mother rejected him). Somehow, Kaname Sagara ended up crossing the dimensional boundaries. She used her knowledge to influence the UC world, but ironically, this only made the wars even more intense than they ever were in the NCC world. She is Sophia;.
Meanwhile, Ange is missing after that. She's watching the battle unfold with Embryo, while Embryo is also on the field ready to fight. Fowler and Sabine are here with a squad of Behemoth ASs, along with Erma and Tanya. And Hokushin is here too: he somehow survived. Akito really doesn't care at this point, but is ready to fight if he has to. Notably, I use a team of almost entirely females here, besides Sousuke (forced), Akito (because of Hokushin), and Tusk (because he's Ange's knight). Speaking of Tusk, one notable aside: in the normal version of this stage, it's explicitly mentioned Ange slept with him, much to the Salia and Hilda's disgust and shock. That's glossed over here.
Objective is to defeat Embryo in the Hysterica. SR point is to clear the map in 5 turns.
When Akito and Hokushin fight, the latter states he can never be defeated. He just replies he's done with him. His final words are "Well...done." Akito feels nothing. With him goes the last Meganoid, Fowler and Sabine die miserably, completely taken in by the prospect of a new world. Erma and Tanya are more tragic: they beg Embryo to help them, but he simply admonishes them and says their Ragna-Mails will be fuel for the Hysterica. Even after directly seeing this, the other refuses to stand down. I bring Embryo down with Jill for good measure. He dies.
And reappears as if nothing happened. He spells it out: he's immortal. Sousuke and Tusk use the chance to swoop in to rescue Kaname and Ange. Sousuke encounters Leonard in the building, after helping Lacus and the others to safety. He goes on an amazing rant, asking what is wrong with her and hurling insults. She's not Kaname Sagara. On the inside, Sophia is shocked, and yet when Kaname shows her resolve, agrees to back down. Kaname Chidori snaps out of it, kind of pissed. Leonard laughs and says...it seems he's lost. Kaname is all his. He gracefully leaves, accepting this defeat. Meanwhile, Embryo explains some things to Ange: this space exists outside of any universes, his own private space and the safest place where he can use his Ragna-Mail to influence all the worlds. He once more asks Ange to join her. She refuses, and he decides to purify her mind.
All her clothes disappear. She is completely naked, only covered up by the dialogue box. Ange retains her defiance, accusing Embryo of just wanting to do it with her. Tusk shows up, and gets shot. However, Ange calls out to Villkiss, and with the power of belief, it transcends the dimensional boundary to arrive! An annoyed Embryo summons Sylvia, holding her at gunpoint and threatening Ange. "Your sister's fate lies in my hands." Ange is like, are you an idiot? She rejected Sylvia as a sister after what she did and said. Ange also knows full well, Sylvia isn't crippled. Embryo is the only one controlling the wheelchair. Sylvia insists she can't walk, and Ange made her that way.
Ange: "Tusk, I'm borrowing your gun."
She shoots. Sylvia is so startled she accidentally stands up. All she can say is "Oh!" Ange tells her to fight to stay alive, and she does take the hint and runs off. Ange, Tusk, and Sousuke escape. Yet Embryo remains immortal. Villkiss however, is a Ragna-Mail. And so Ange sings. Hilda and Salia back her up. Salamandinay notes it's the song of the stars. They really could destroy the dimension if it were to resonate. Jill and her start singing along too. Embryo laughs it off, saying the song is incomplete...only for everything to start distortion. Lacus reveals, the Ancient People passed their song down through the Coordinators. And SHE knows all the lyrics!
Everything goes white, and as it fades, we're in the space above the three Earths. Embryo starts losing his shit and demands Leonard fight. His reply? "Don't you order me around, you scum." Objective is to defeat Hysterica, although Leonard is here too. I wait a turn for them to approach.
On the next and final turn for the SR point, in comes Full Frontal. The final secret character of the game, he's here to fight with us too. Embryo's battle quotes are more or less him throwing an amazing tantrum, saying things like "I'll kill you into infinity!" Leonard again accepts his defeat well. When told it's over, he says it is, and retreats. Sousuke is confused, there was no hostility from him at all. The Cross Ange girls all join in on Ange's pre-battle lines with Embryo.
Ange: "What do you mean? You've been trying to do that right from the start."
Salia: "If not, would you strike someone while they're weak?"
Ersha: "Would you use something precious to someone as a shield?"
Chris: "Would you lie to and deceive someone?"
Rosalie: "In other words, all you've ever been able to do is rely on underhanded methods and force!"
Vivian: "Alright everyone, time for a question, then! What's the most appropriate thing to call this guy?"
Hilda: "The all-time lowest of the low!"
Salamandinay: "Scum that's so low it shouldn't even exist!"
Embryo: "How dare you?!"
Jill: "Embryo! You're not a god, and you're not a Tuner, either!"
Ange: "You're just a creep!"
Embryo: "Ange! You dare mock me?!"
Ange: "Ugh, a true creep right to the very end! I'm even sick of looking at that ridiculous hair!"
Ange: "You're going down, Embryo! I am going to finish you myself!"
I have Ange destroy him with Villkiss' new final attack, True Ability Unlock. He gets pissed and tries to destroy the Eternal to take all its women as brides, only for...Leonard to stop him. Embryo is pissed and blasts his former co-conspirator, mortally wounding him. Ange swoops in at this point. One of the most brutal verbal beatdowns from nearly every female character in my roster commences.
Ange: "Embryro!"
Embryo: "Ange! I chose you, yet you still stand against me?"
Hilda: "Until the very end—"
Salia: "Looking down on others—"
Salamandinay: "Displaying atrocious behavior!"
Mao: "You over-confident—"
Ryoko: "Braggart!"
Sayaka: "Men like you—"
Lunamaria: "Who don't know the first thing about love—"
Fa: "Don't deserve it!"
Roux: "So don't you dare—"
Elle: "Ever let us catch sight of that stupid hairdo—"
Marida: "Ever again!"
Ple: "Get out of here, pervert!"
Ple Two: "Don't even look at us, pervert!"
Asuka: "Get lost, scumbag!"
Mari: "Just disappear, you waste of space!"
Rei: "Good riddance."
Embryo: "Very well. I no longer need a woman who's incapable of comprehending my love!"
Ange: "What love? You're nothing but a shameless narcissist who's always acting superior. You have no taste in clothes, you never stop grinning,—"
Ange: "—and your hairstyle is repulsive! It'd probably be biologically impossible for me to pass on your perverted, misogynistic, thousand-year shut-in genes anyway!"
Ange: "Turn back to the dust of the Earth!"
Embryo: "Ange!"
Ange: "You wouldn't have a shot with me in a hundred million years!"
She puts the exclamation point on this by firing the Space-Time Convergence Cannon. Embryo screams as he is destroyed.
At peace, Leonard simply asks if it's over. He tells us to hurry, the Earths will start to fuse soon. He's sending us the data, and with it, we should be able to understand what's going on. Seeing how horrible Embryo was made him realize, he was being that way too. In fact, his primary motivation for helping us? To get in one last shot at Embryo, "that odious little wretch." He asks, if things had been different, could they have been friends? Sousuke doesn't believe in hypotheticals. He just chuckles at how ruthless Sousuke is to the end. He dies at peace.
In the hangar after the battle, Nine runs into someone most curious. Mamoru Kodai...
