I am so glad you are alive and well... (Asia is on her knees.)

(I asked Asia about the man spotted in Akihabara that performed a skill from the world of Maple)

I am sorry I kept mum about that matter. I was kind of suspecting it when the history was re-written to include the pilot's life, but I wasn't able to really pinpoint it back then.

But after seeing him, I knew.

His name is Al Dunas Madren.

He was a friend of mine who studied magic and swordfight with me, hoping that one day, the two of us will contribute to the rise of Zipangu. And now... he's back, but this time as my enemy.

...(Asia opened his eyes ever so slightly.)

During the days of Ancient Zipangu, a Black Wizard descended upon us. Three kids requested that they be taught by the wizard, and after a long, arduous training, each one of them mastered a special form of magic.

One mastered the magic of immortality;
one mastered the magic of past life
and one mastered the magic of time warp.

As the three saviors of Zipangu, the three eagerly spent their abilities serving the residents. Zipangu experienced growth unlike any other time period, and everyone assumed that the day of peace in Zipangu would last forever.

But secretly, one of the three knew. He knew that he would be the only person that wouldn't be able to witness the future of Zipangu firsthand.

That was the person that had the ability to time warp.
The one with immortality stays around forever, and the one who mastered the magic of past life will live in memory, even after his body deteriorates. The two... would seem to live happily ever after.

The one with the time warp was devastated, and cursed his powers... to the point where...

He was lusting over what I had, the power of immortality.

Dunas, who had the power of past life, and Ashray, who had the power of time warp, were lovers. I don't know what Ashray saw with her powers and all, but I am sure it must have been a future she didn't envision getting.

She wanted the power of immortality, but I refused to give it to her. That's because I remember our master telling us that the three powers balance out, and not one of them should disappear, for it will destroy the balance of Zipangu.

She disappeared from that era soon after.

And... thousands of years later,

I, the immortal one, finally ran into Ashray

in Tokyo at 2102.

(During Asia's talk, Kamuna began to rumble with alarming authority. Asia gazed up on the sky, and smiles faintly, perhaps in sadness.)

I see that the hatred still remains, Dunas. (Or so, Asia whispers to herself.)

I am sorry, but I feel that the restoration of history seems to be in full effect yet again. It's probably him. (Asia pulls out a copy of Acacia Chronicle.)

Year 2102, the year where Mission: Tokyo Fleet Ambush is in effect. He wants to directly destroy it.
We don't have much time. I am sorry I brought you into this, but please head over to Tokyo immediately.

Thank you, Mapler. I will give you all the details once you successfully come back from the mission.

The big restoration of history takes place in Tokyo of 2102.

Your efforts have saved the secret general room at Akihabara from destruction, which triggers the Zipangu Army to go ahead with the big plan to destroy the Army of Blaze, but he might have told the army of these plans in advance.

Basically, the Army of Blaze was ready for it and ruined whichever strategy the resistance group was making.

I want you to head over to the command room at Akihabara first to gather up some information. The detailed briefing of the mission will be revealed there as well. After that, head over to Kamuna and time-warp to the era we just discussed.

I can't say he underestimated us all this time, but since you have proved to be a worthy opponent, he'll be back this time with a vengeance. This may get awfully dangerous in a hurry. Please take care of yourself.

I apologize for dragging you to this, but... please help us.

Oh you're back!
The command room is saved thanks to you!!

This will allow us to move forward with the plan. Other members are currently spread out all over Tokyo taking care of their duties.

I see.

You have the right to know exactly what this mission is about.
Here it goes.

Now that we have completed building the ultimate robot, all we need to do is penetrate Tokyo with it, and the battle will be over.

The one problem that's hard to overcome is BWZ.

The very barrier we set up to seal up the Army of Blaze is what's preventing the Zipangu Army from invading Tokyo. We have no chance, as long as the army is unable to penetrate through BWZ.

But then one day, we were able to receive good news. Thanks to Ponicher, we were able to establish a viable communication to the outside world, and we were able to contact the creator of BWZ. I believe he's a survivor of Zipangu Tech Lab.

According to his story, the surface of BWZ is coated with tough shields, but the shields on the upper area are thinner, and it can be destroyed by using a high dose of concentrated energy to penetrate through the barrier.

The skies of BWZ is filled with enemy aircrafts, and penetrating it will require a great sacrifice of sort.

That being said... we absolutely have to do this.

We joined forces with the firepower of Zipangu Army, and we summoned a spacecraft right outside the BWZ skies.

Our strategy is to board the ultimate robot on Old Fox Flagship, and try to penetrate BWZ through the sky, and as we make our way down, we set up an army of invaders ready to pounce the moment we touch the ground. Once we do, we unveil Graviton Flame.

There's a great chance that the speedy flagship of Army of Blaze, Nibelung, may appear. We also expect heavy fire from the ground as we attempt to penetrate through the barrier.

In order to increase our odds of succeeding in this grand plan, we have our members spread our all over Tokyo, armed with heavy artillery.

It would be nice if you could join us on this...

(I'm not going to provide ground support; rather, I'll be warping from Kamuna to the skies of Tokyo, directly to Old Fox Flagship, and personally defend the ultimate robot. Better return to Kamuna right now.)
