Revelation of the Enemy Commander (Stage 1)
Lucia: You must be the commander!Bill: There's no escape. Surrender now.
Commander: Hmm, Bill Rizer. I didn't think that the Triumvirate were so desperate to send you in. Pathetic old fools!
Bill: What? Who are you?
Commander: Hah, locked up so long that he doesn't even recognize me.
Bill: ! ... Lance!
Lucia: Lance? The hero? The one from the Alien War, that Lance?
Bill: But, that's not possible. I saw you die!
Lance: That's right. But, as you can see, I've returned from the dead. I'm here to cleanse this place of all sinners, with the flames of judgement!
Bill: What? Lance, do you really believe what you're saying?
Lance: Hmph. Poor Bill, you're the one without a clue. But the true reality would be beyond comprehension of a mere grunt like you.
Bill: .........
Lance: Well, it's just as well... I'll let you go this time, for old time's sake. But remember... Don't expect any mercy from me next time. Farewell!
Bill: L-Lance! Wait!
6 years ago...
Bill: Lance! Hang on, Lance!
Lance: Ugh... Bill...?
Bill: Damn it! Who got you?
Lance: Ugh... Gugh...
Bill: Hold on, I'll get the medic!
Lance: Bill, wait!
Bill: ...?
Lance: Watch out... we're just... they use... urrg... gah!
Bill: Lance!
Lance: ............
Bill: Lance? Quit joking around... Lance! Laaaance!!
(Back to fortress)
Bill: Lance... What happened to you?
Lucia: Bill...
The Triumvirate discusses
-- Federal Government HQ --Gaius: Colleagues, I have the latest report on the current situation. Bill Rizer and the bionoid, LCR, succeeded in driving out the enemy intrusion. The defense line in the K12 sector is safe for now.
Nero: Hmm... The results are as we predicted, but it's unsettling that events are unfolding faster than we thought.
Commodus: Indeed. You don't think our pawns, that we sacrificed to buy us time, may actually change the situation?
Gaius: All the better if they do. It is a problem that needs to get resolved eventually. The more disturbing matter is that they've begun to question the reason behind this operation.
Nero: There's nothing to worry about. Remember, we're almost done analyzing the "relic".
Commodus: True, which means we must be even more careful with our moves. It is all for the coming of the revolution and the achievement of our ultimate dream.
Fight against Enemy Commander (Stage 5)
As Bill:Bill: We've got you cornered, Lance!
Lance: Hmm, I didn't expect you to be able to come so far. I warned you that I would not be so merciful a second time.
As Lucia:
Lucia: You're not getting away this time, Lance Bean!
Lance: Hmm, I didn't expect you to be able to come so far. I warned you that I would not be so merciful a second time.
(After the duel)
Lance: You're better than I expected. Playtime is over! Haaaaaaaaahhhhh!!
(Inside Lance)
As Bill:
Bill: He fused... with an alien?!
As Lucia:
Lucia: Did he fuse with an alien?!
(After the second fight)
With B-rank:
Lance: Ugh... This is impossible!
Bill: Lance, tell me! Why did you do this?
Lance: Hmph, you are a sad creature, Bill. You don't even know what you're fighting for.
Bill: What?!
Lance: I'll perish here... But... you'll soon follow the same fate. You're too powerful. They can't afford to have you around.
Bill: What do you mean? Who are "they"?
Lance: Ha ha ha... I'll wait for you in hell! So long!!
Bill: Lance...
Meanwhile, overhead in an orbiting satellite
Satellite weapon bombardment, complete. The target, Galuga Archipelago, has been destroyed. No signs of life in a 60 mile radius. And so we have closure. Or should I say we have a new beginning. A new beginning of a world that we hold in the palm of our hand. Muahahaha...
With A-rank or higher:
Lance: Ugh...
Bill: Lance!
Lance: Ugh... Bill... I knew... I couldn't beat you...
Bill: Lance, tell me! Why did you do this?
Lance: .............
Lance: ...Very well. I'll tell you... Maybe you can...
Bill: .........?
Lance: It all began 20 years ago... A miner on Jupiter discovered the Moirai Ruin.
Lucia: Moirai?
Lance: How can I describe them? "Omniscient beings," maybe. It's the name of a tribe that ruled the galaxy before the birth of mankind. Their civilization reached heights we humans can't even possibly begin to imagine... They left this galaxy for a higher world. The ruin on Jupiter was their shrine. It was a sanctuary... We shouldn't have stepped in.
Bill: ...............
Lance: But the men of influence were arrogant. The monopolize the highly advanced technologies of an unknown civilization, they send the army. Not only did they violate the sanctuary, they brought the "relic" back to earth.
Lucia: But that's...
Lance: Several years later, aliens began an attack on Earth.
Bill: Are you telling me...
Lance: You're beginning to understand... Our enemy... They were no aliens. Nor were they invaders. They were guards programmed to protect and retrieve the Moirai relic! But the men of influence stubbornly kept the truth out of the public eye. By calling us heroes of the war against aliens... They hid the truth from the media and the people.
Bill: Damn it! We've been puppets on a string the entire time?!
Lance: I stumbled upon the truth by accident. But, before I could go public, I was eliminated with you as their scapegoat.
Lucia: Does that mean the hyper-magnetic weapon malfunctioned because of them?
Lance: That's right... They did it to annihialate all opposing factions and to monopolize political power.
Bill: Lance, hang on!
Lance: Ug...... I had to survive. I had to spread the truth... to the people.
Lucia: Is that why you chose to implant an alien embryo in yourself?
Lance: Right...... But I couldn't control the beast...
Bill: Lance......
Lance: Go, Bill! You should know who the true enemy is by now. They're almost done analyzing the "relic". If that happens... the world is... doomed......
Bill: Talk to me, Lance!
Lance: ............
Bill: Lance...!!
The Relic of Moirai (Stage 6)
As Bill:Bill: What is this place? *
Gaius: Muahahaha... Welcome to our sanctuary.
Bill: The Triumvirate! So you're responsible for all this. Lance is dead because of you. I will avenge him.
Nero: Avenge him? When it's your hands that are red with his blood, you threaten us?
Commodus: Fool, it is much too late for you to do anything. Our power is far beyond the reaches of parasites like you. Witness our power!
Bill: This light... Could this be the relic of Moirai?
Gaius: We now possess the relic and its power, making us virtual gods.
Nero: Muahahaha... You should feel honored to have witnessed this historic event before you die. ...Hmm?
Commodus: Wh-what's happening?! Our power... is fading!!
Gaius: Ugh... GAAAAHHHHHH!!
As Lucia:
Lucia: What is this place?
Gaius: Muahahaha... Welcome to our sanctuary.
Bill: The Triumvirate... So you masterminded the entire plot.
Nero: Ha, a little late to come to that realization
Commodus: Fool, it is much too late for you to do anything. Our power is far beyond the reaches of parasites like you. Witness our power!
Bill: This light... No... Have they finished analyzing the relic?!
Gaius: We now possess the relic and its power, making us virtual gods.
Nero: Muahahaha... You should feel honored to have witnessed this historic event before you die. ...Hmm?
Commodus: Wh-what's happening?! Our power... is fading!!
Gaius: Ugh... GAAAAHHHHHH!!
