You...

You're alive! You're alive!! (Ponicher tightly embraces me.)

Do you remember me? The soldier that fought with you two years ago at Odaiba!

I did receive a word saying that Bergamot was destroyed, so I knew you'd be alive and well... but to see you again in person...!

Thanks to your work, I was able to retrieve the unit and bring it back to the Lab.

I can tell you this now, but the unit was the essential piece required to build the ultimate robot to destroy the Army of Blaze.

The ultimate robot that will bring a source of hope for the residents of Zipangu has been completed. Graviton Flame will be the one that will once and for all end this battle against the Army of Blaze.

Hmmm? What is it?
(I had to tell Ponicher, who was still clearly giddy for seeing me, the danger that's about to hit the command room)

What... what?

A platoon from the robots are on their way here?

Mitchell, set the monitor at the cameras outside the room!

(The monitor shows an invading army of robots, but only for a few moments because the monitor lost feed from the camera and began playing noise. The camera must have been attacked.)

I can't believe we have been caught. Is that...

Iruvata of the Task Force?
We are currently in a mission, so all my comrades are stationed all over Tokyo. Right now, the command room is totally vulnerable to any attacks. We're too shorthanded to battle them right this minute. It's the one task force that can perform tasks without support from Bergamot, with the purpose of destroying this area.

We've been caught red-handed. We can't do anything about this.

What can we do now...?
I can't call in my comrades because of our own tasks to complete. What can we do... come on, think think!

(With a rush of courage running through my veins, I looked straight into Ponicher's eyes.)

...

...Ah... okay. I got it.

Are you going to not even make me think twice about this...? (Ponicher makes a faint smile.)

I'm going to go out there and battle along with you!
I am not going to run away this time! No way! They are mine!!

I will get ready for the battle.
You, I want you to meet Commander Garuda. He has a plan that will surely turn this war around in our favor.

Are you telling me you're afraid now, after all this? Please think again!

Are you the one responsible for defeating Bergamot? Welcome, welcome. On behalf of Zipangu, I salute you on your courageous effort.

Thank you. (The commander gave me a heartfelt salute.)

You must be not from Zipangu. Your power suggests you're from the world of Maple, the world we used to be part of...

Well, that's not what matters now.
Here's the situation.

Four years ago, after the destruction of Tokyo, I was left in here at BWZ. I found a comrade that survived the destruction, and decided to form a resistance movement.

Our movement included nonsoldiers as well. Our activities led to Akihabara after a while, where we had so many electronic equipments that we were able to set up a hidden command room.

I renovated a coffee shop and made it into a secret command room within BWZ, making this spot the focal point of the resistance movement.

During that time, we were able to contact Ponicher, who successfully infiltrated BWZ. This allowed us to contact Zipangu Army.

I was ecstatic to find out about the ultimate robot they were building, Graviton Flame.

Once the army penetrates through BWZ and bring Graviton Flame at the forefront, the war will end once and for all.

And we are currently performing such task with the Zipangu Army even as we speak.

But alas... I feel a rush of oppositions heading our way.

Iruvata of the Task Force. They are quite something. The surveillance squad encountered them before entering BWZ, only to be completely destroyed by the task force.

The one that commanded the battle against Iruvata is here. Captain Maricias will give you the details on their task force.

Good luck.
