1. Scene 1#

Masaki: Shuu. What are you intending to do? Get out of there!

Shuu: Sorry, but I can't accept that request.

Tyutti: Don't you understand? Inside this underground is the temple of Volkruss!

Saphine: Shuu-sama already acknowledged that thing.

Masaki: Isn't Church of Volkruss your enemy!?

Shuu: Well, it is correct to say they are a troublesome group rather than an enemy.

Yanglong: Then, I suppose you don't have to give us a hand. But don't interfere with us.

Shuu: I'm different from you. I have a lot of work to do.

Masaki: What... As I thought we are talking on different wavelengths.

Shuu: You have my sympathy at that point.

Masaki: Then... I'll use force!!

    [Cybaster attacks Granzon]

Shuu: ...Masaki. You’ve lost your touch a bit. Masaki: Shut up! I’ve just missed real combat recently! Shuu: That's why I call you dull.

[Rumble]

Masaki: !? What is that!? Shuu: Yeah. Somehow they succeeded. Xenia: You said they succeeded... Could it be!? Volkruss came back to life!? Shuu: Well, how about you witness that for yourself? Pardon me for not being around since I'm finished with my work. Saphine: Then, we leave the rest to you. Do your best. Masaki: Wait you bastard! ...Damn. What the hell is he planning!? Mio: That exchange was somewhat of a familiar feeling right? Yanglong: We must hurry to the underground temple. If we don't verify what happened...

1. Scene 2 (Map)#

Volkruss: ...Die, weaklings. Masaki: Volkruss!? He’s really resurrected!? Precia: Uuh... Somehow I feel bad... Tyutti:W-wait a minute. Certainly that is Volkruss but... that is just a shadow. Yanglong: Yeah, I also feel a weak pressure. If this is the case we can handle it. ???: Well well, you are very confident. As expected of the one controlling the Masoukishin. Ryune: Who are you!? Satils: Nice to meet you. I'm Satils. I'm an archbishop of the Church of Volkruss. Tyutti: That machine is... Nagzert!? Satils: Yeah, that is the machine that I ride, the machine that I inherited from my sworn friend Ruozorl. Masaki: An unexpectedly important person like the archbishop appears. Satils: I appreciate your evaluation but I can't permit your irritation any longer. I'll make you disappear from here. Masaki: Interesting... Bring it on!! Xenia: Wait, Masaki! It will be too much if you to receive more damage! Let me and Tyutti repair your mech at once! Masaki: ...Aw, I'm firing myself up and you pour water on me.

[Precia vs Volkruss] Precia: Uh... Why... This bad feeling is... Volkruss: ...This thread is... Precia: !? My head... hurts... Volkruss: ...I see, interesting... Precia: Go away!!

[Masaki vs Satils] Satils: I see... You are Masaki-dono? Masaki: You don't need to remember my name! I'll kill you here!

[Masaki vs Volkruss] Volkruss: ...You are... I remember you... Masaki: Good grief, Volkruss is persistent!

[Tyutti vs Satils] Tyutti: You said you are Satils? What are you up to!? Satils: There is no need to hurry. You will understand it sooner or later, Tyutti-dono. Tyutti: ...As I thought, it is useless to ask.

[Yanglong vs Satils] Yanglong: You’re repeating the same incorrigible things? Satils: I agree with that opinion. Be obedient not to obstruct us.

[Mio vs Satils] Mio: Again another new enemy... But it is better than the same old faces. Satils: You seem very confident, Mio-dono. But if you aren't prepared you will be tripped up.

[Ryune vs Satils] Ryune: I'm annoyed by your quick appearance but I'll immediately make you leave! Satils: Well, I wonder about that. If you make light of me you will get a painful experience.

[Xenia vs Satils] Xenia: An improved version of Nagzert huh...? In short it is Nagzert Zero? Satils: No, the name of my machine is Nagzert Kai. Don't be mistaken. Xenia: That is that. Even if it is remodelled the taste is bad as usual.

[Precia vs Satils] Precia: What... unpleasant machine. Satils: You are the daughter of the Sword Emperor. Fufu, this is interesting. Precia: W-what!?

• Volkruss defeated*

Volkruss: Guuh... This time I admit my defeat... But... you can't erase me. As long as there is a voice calling me... I'll revive again and again! Satils: … I’m sorry Volkruss-sama. Because I don't have enough power, I let you feel disgrace. Masaki: Well, the one left is only you, Satils!! Satils: Too bad, the way I am now I can't compete with you guys. I'm out of here. Masaki: You intend to escape!? Satils: Escape is disgraceful. Now that my plan has advanced one step, I’m only temporarily withdrawing. Masaki: Damn, he said his plan advanced one step? What's he up to...?

1. Scene 3#

Ryune: We blew it up. At this point they can't use the temple anymore. Masaki: Yeah... I thought so. Ryune: You are not happy? Masaki: Well... Because that bastard Satils escaped. Yanglong: I'm worried about his words before retreating. Wendy: Yeah. Those guys are after something. Mio: It is better not to worry about it much. We do everything we can. Ryune: Even though it was only a shadow, we defeated Volkruss. Masaki: Well, that’s true. Xenia, can you obtain anything about those guys' movement? Xenia: Yes. This should be within my capabilities but because those guys of the Church of Volkruss are enigmatic, gathering information isn’t easy. Mio: Isn't that the same with Shu? Xenia: Yeah. Masaki: That bastard Shu. What the hell is he thinking? Even though the Church of Volkruss is his enemy... Ryune: The truth is he may be his same old self again. Or he will explain later. That’s the type of guy he is. Masaki: If his explanation doesn't make sense I'll beat the crap out of him. Tyutti: Well well, let's end it here. We can't sit on our butts here forever. Let's return to the royal capital. Mio: Me, Yanglong-san, Tyutti-san and Precia have another task to do. Masaki: Right... Let's return.

1. Scene 4#

???: You returned at last. I watched your work carefully. Satils: I'm sorry about the result. ???: Hm... Kristoff helped us. That guy is up to something. Satils: I'm surprise that hateful former apostate who killed my sworn friend Ruozorl is assisting us... ???: Ignore him. He can't cause us trouble at the moment. Satils: But thanks to his action earning us time, we succeed in reviving Volkruss. Even if only a shadow. ???: That is good. But after that what happened? Satils: Because of my imperfect power... ???: You fool. Not only that. You talked a bit too much... Satils: ...I'm sorry. ???: We still need time for Volkruss-sama to revive but, we must not let them realize that. Intentionally revealing our true intention is the peak of foolishness. Satils: Yes... I'm deeply ashamed. ???: Do everything serene and calm. Be quiet and use lie for disturbance if possible. Satils: I'll bear that in mind. ???: Luckily, the mob begins to move for some reason . We have to take advantage of that. Fufufu... Indeed it is fun. The chaos that exhausts the world, that time is... War never leaves where it found a nation - Edmund Burke

The world that exists in different phase space inside the Earth - La Gias. That is the different world that has both different civilization compared to the ground and the technology that is superior to science on Earth. In that La Gias, at the holy kingdom Langran that is biggest and famous for its long history, a prediction was made. A giant demon god will destroy Langran. And then, the calamity will spread to all living beings on La Gias To oppose that prediction, Langran developed a humanoid general-purpose weapon called Masouki. The power of Masouki is provided by perpetual motion, and depend on the prana of the pilot it draws out endless power. Among those Masoukis, there are 4 Masouki machines that hold tremendous power and succeed in a contract with the souls of great heralds. They are called Masoukishin. But, the Masoukishin had one sole weak point. That is since it has high power, a large amount of prana is consumed. Among the people of La Gias, the ones able to bear such consumption can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The government of Langran decided a crucial decision: summon the controlling candidates from the ground. Among them is a youngster named Masaki Ando. At first he opposed for suddenly bring him along but as he knows about the affair of the world, he discovered the meaning of protecting La Gias. Masaki starts to grow up over many encounters and partings. Due to the appearance of Masoukishins, La Gias breaked into an era of wars. The big war dragged everything into the mud. The disturbance that causes by the Church of Volkruss that worship the Evil God. Due to the action of Masaki and his friends, the temporary peace was established. But the remnant of the flame of wars hasn't ended. And now, the new threat appears before Masaki and his friends.

1. Scene 5#

Masaki: Antilles? Ryune: Right, Antilles Corps. That is our official name. Kuro: That is the name of the goddess gives birth to all things that appears in the myth of Langran. Masaki: But particularly until now I know about it. Ryune: Isn't it cool if we always attach the name Masoukishin Corps? Masaki: Really? I'm very pleased. Ryune: It is useless since it already decided. Moreover, because the aircraft deploy and a newcomer comes, it is good to refresh our spirits? Masaki: Well, sure. Because the number of people will increase fairly. Ryune: Because of that, we are tied by the rule of the federation. Masaki: The federation is like Earth's confederation? Ryune: No, it is different a bit. It is hard to explain. Kuro: Well, let me explain. The federation is an organization create for safety maintenace and international peace. Masaki: So it is like the old UN? Kuro: They have the same goal but, as an organization they're completely different. The history and the basic quality of cross-nation is different, moreover the resolution of the federation is legal force. Masaki: Legal force? They have troops? Kuro: Until recently the 4 kingdoms Langran, Bagonia, Shutedonia, Ariel supply the number of troops together... Because of the previous war, they almost unsettled so the Antilles Corps replace them. That is also the intention of Langran government. Masaki: ...Wait. If that is the case we have to follow the command of the federation? Kuro: Not command but resolution. It is like permission. When we intervene other kingdoms that is necessary. Well, there is an exception for Ryune and the pilots of Masoukishin. They don't need to follow any order. But for other members, except emergency, they have to act according to the command of federation. Masaki: You said emergency... Something like the danger of the world? Kuro: That is it roughly. Originally Masoukishin was created for that. At that time the authority of Antilles Corps is entrusted to the pilots of Masoukishin. Masaki: Somehow there is limitation. Ryune: The Antilles Corps is that strong organization. Masaki: ...Well, it can't be helped. Yeah, which reminds me, today is the day the newcomer comes? Ryune: Yeah, because I heard he made a courtesy call together with notification he will come here soon? Shiro: Ah, speaking of devil. He came? Masaki: Well. Good, you may come in. Tsrein: Excuse me! Ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan joins Antilles Corps from today! Nice to meet you!! Masaki: You don't need to make that big voice since we can hear you. Come in. Tsrein: Yes! Pardon my rudeness! Tsrein: Is Masaki Ando-dono and Ryune Zoldark-dono here? Masaki: I don't know if they are here or not but I'm Masaki. Ryune: It is intrusive to give out my name when asked who I am, but Ryune Zoldark is me. Masaki: What is that? Kabuki? Ryune: Right, Aotozoshi Hana no Nishikie. That is the line of five popular name white waves men. Masaki: You don't have to be that detailed. Ryune: Isn't it popular that even Masaki knows it? Masaki: Well, that's it. Nice to meet you Tsrein. Tsrein: Yes! From now on I'm happy to receive encourage and giving direction! Masaki: ...Don't feel solid like that. Relax yourself a bit more. Tsrein: Yes! Understood! I'll keep up with my best effort! Masaki: ...You don't seem to understand me at all. Ryune: Then, first show us your skill. Tsrein: Skill... You mean?

joekage (Topic Creator)5 years ago#6 Ryune: Isn't it obvious the skill of Masouki? Tsrein: Y, yes... But how...? Ryune: Go to the hangar, operate and show us. Tsrein: I have permission to do that? Ryune: Of course. Because you are already a member of Antilles Corps. Moreover you want to ride the Masouki right? Tsrein: Of course! Ryune: Then, it is decided. Let's go to the hangar. Masaki: That is good but... Ryune: Eh? What's wrong? Masaki: You said you're Tsrein? Do something serious with that solid way of talking. That is an order. Tsrein: Yes sir! Masaki: ...You reply well.

1. Scene 6#

Xenia: Ah, Masaki, Ryune. Masaki: ...You usually at the place of Masouki. Xenia: Of course. I'm busy with fixing them. Ryune: Even there is no work you are here. Xenia: Leaving that aside, perhaps that boy is a newcomer? Masaki: Oh, right. Well, Tsrein...what? Tsrein: I'm ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan (de arimasu)! Masaki: Hey. Arimasu is forbidden. (You are too polite) Tsrein: Understood! Then, I'll say it again... I'm ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan! Xenia: I'm Xenia Grania Bilseia. Nice to meet you. Tsrein: Yes! Nice to meet you... (Yoroshiku onegai de arima...) rather onegai shimasu. Xenia: Fufu, strange kid. As I thought, you're only attached to our place. Masaki: Eh? What does that mean? Xenia: That? You don't know? The pilots attach to Antilles Corps are basically only odd fellows. Tsrein: ... Xenia: Oh, sorry, Tsrein. I don't plan to talk bad about you. Tsrein: No, I don't mind that. Because it is the truth. I prepared for it. Masaki: What do you mean by... odd fellow? Xenia: In short, they have a lot of issue with the people surrounding, but in exchange they have superior ability. Masaki: Er... They have problem with character. But, that is not so bad right? Kuro: If we talk about character, Masaki also in the same boat. Masaki: Shut up. Xenia: Then you come to the hangar to study, or to do a test drive? Masaki: To test drive. No? Xenia: It is fine. You can do it any time. Tsrein, how long did you take the embarkation? Tsrein: By simulator 200 hours, and 50 hours in Blowell. Xenia: So you are fresh from military academy? Well, I wonder if you can operate? Your spirit affinity is... fire right? Let's test you in the Leogeira. Masaki: Leo...what? Xenia: Leogeira. It is Wendy's new type Masouki exclusively for Antilles Corps. Masaki: Wendy? When...? Xenia: Of course, but I also helped. Masaki: Eh? Wait... I heard certainly there is basically 16 Masoukis right? The 17 Masouki is Ismail? Xenia: Your basic idea is wrong. Ismail is a Masouki created for the purpose surpass the Masoukishins. Leogeira is a successor of Jaifar. Masaki: Successor? Then, what happened to Jaifar? Xenia: Because I found many problems in it, it is in the middle of readjustment. Because such problem exists, a reserve of Masouki is always necessary. Masaki: ...That means, could it be you also prepare a reserve of Cybaster? Xenia: No. The Masoukishin ain't that cheap thing. Because it is not that simple to make contract with high ranking soul. ...But someday I want to try a challenge. Masaki: Don't say scary thing smoothly. Xenia: Why is it scary? Masaki: If not for you the criminal record called Duraxyl is... Oh!! S, sorry... I shouldn't said something like criminal record... Ah, whatever, that... Xenia: You don't have to care about that. Because I haven't forgot the event of Duraxyl. But, just because I failed, if I withdraw I can't advance ahead. I'm also a petty creator of the Masouki. It is natural for me to think that someday I want to complete the Masoukishin. Of course, the real Masoukishin that respects the will of the spirit.

joekage (Topic Creator)5 years ago#7 Tsrein: W, wonderful! You are great Xenia-sama! Masaki: Yeah, well, it is certainly important. Xenia is great. Xenia: Wait, what's with you two? Flattery will get you nowhere. M, more importantly. Tsrein, you do a test drive right? Tsrein: Yeah, right! Then, let me board the Leogeira! Xenia: Then, have a glance at this and do a retina registration. Later, consider anything please talk. Because you'll register a voice print. Tsrein: Understood! Masaki: Eh? What are you doing? Xenia: I'm strengthen the security. Because the Antilles Corps will turn into independent force, it is natural right? Ryune: Ah, I see. Xenia: Well, because the Masoukishins and Valsione exist from beginning it is alright but... Ok, I finished the registration. Then, let's move for real combat. Tsrein: Understood! ...Real combat, that is the real combat which you'll fight in reality!? Xenia: Yeah. A while ago I received a request clear all the Demon Golems, this is just right time. Masaki: Ah, I see. That's good. Ryune: Yeah yeah. I lack training for winning real combat. Tsrein: Eh? Eeh!? Ryune: It is alright. Because we'll follow you properly. Masaki: Well, let's go. Tsrein: Eeeeh!? Masaki: Let's move before they complain. Tsrein: Y...yes, understood! Masaki: Then, I'll get in the Cybaster... Wendy: Ah, Masaki. You plan to use Cybaster? Masaki: Yo, Wendy. Is there problem with it? Wendy: Sorry. Now Cybaster is in the middle of checking period. Because I'm doing an overhaul, I afraid today you can't use it. Masaki: Is that so... Then, it can't be helped. It is long since I ride Jaohm. Is that Ok? Wendy: Yeah, it is fine. Since Gennadii hasn't return. Masaki: Then, I'll borrow it for a short time. Wendy: Beat the Demon Golem right? I hear you. Do your best. Masaki: Yeah!

1. Scene 7 (Map)#

Tsrein: Then, Demon Golem is... Masaki: What, only one? Xenia: That? According to the report, there are 5 but... Ryune: Then, we'll keep an eye on the surrounding. Masaki: So, Tsrein. I'll leave this one to you. Tsrein: B, but, suddenly, that... Xenia: Don't worry. Because the basic property is different, you won't lose if you do things normally. Ryune: Right right. As long as you don't show your back intentionally you'll be alright. Tsrein: U, understood! Ensign Tsrein Xan Lecanivan ready for battle!! Xenia: Don't take much damage. If it is dangerous let me repair you by my Nols Rei. Tsrein: Yes sir!

• Turn 2*

Kuro: Masaki! There is response on the spirit radar! Masaki: Hey, somewhat it is the remaining Golems. Ryune: The number is... 4. They will come here in about 5 more minutes. Tsrein: Eeh!? Masaki: Don't worry. We'll take them on. Xenia: That's it. Well, get rid of it quickly. Tsrein: Please don't talk ridiculously on beginner. Masaki: Anyone is a beginner at their first time! Because the opponent is only a weak thing, think you are blessed! Tsrein: Uu... The pilots of the Masouki are terrible. Xenia: Yes yes. Don't complain and clear things quickly. Tsrein: Understood!

• Turn 3*

Ryune: They come they come. Masaki: Well, we will act from now on. Ryune: Right.

[Tsrein vs Enemy] Tsrein: I go!! Uoooooh!!

[Tsrein vs Enemy (counter)] Tsrein: Uwah!? They come!? Masaki: Stay calm! You won't be done by one attack!

[Masaki defeated] Masaki: Ouch... Tsrein: Are you alright, Masaki-dono? Masaki: Yeah... N, now is a bad example. Tsrein: I see, you risk your life teaching me! Thank you! Masaki: Y, yeah... Well.

[Ryune defeated] Masaki: Hey, Ryune! What are you doing!? Ryune: Kinda. I only intentionally lose on purpose. Xenia: What is on purpose!? Because I can repair you! Don't increase unnecessary work.

[Xenia defeated] Xenia: Eh? This isn't what I expected... Masaki: What's wrong, Xenia? You lose your touch? Xenia: Wrong! It is only a calculation mistake!

[Tsrein defeated] Tsrein: Uwah! H, help me! Masaki: Don't panic! The escape pot will generate on its own! Tsrein: Eh? Uwah! I'm safe... Xenia: Now, what are you doing!? Because you deduct the cost of repair from my salary! Tsrein: I, it can't be...

• Battle ends*

Masaki: It ends. Ryune: Yeah, there is no contact on the radar. Xenia: Then, let's return. Tsrein: Roger!

1. Scene 8#

Masaki: Even so, the Demon Golem is gone. Xenia: Until this time since there are also guys that used them at war, it can't be helped. Moreover, since there are also things about the Church of Volkruss recently... Masaki: The guy called Satils...? Are those guys related? Xenia: It seems doesn't related this time. Don't you think they are summoned for public works by a practitioner somewhere? Masaki: If he summon we'll clear it. Xenia: Don't talk to me. Other than that if we don't quickly write report... Ryune: Which reminds me, as for clearing the Demon Golem, where will we start doing request? Xenia: Public order department. Because they will give out special reward. Though, it is 10000 credits. Ryune: It seems a part-time job as usual. Xenia: Since the Antilles Corps officially begins, I think that will increase more. Masaki: In other word that is the Langran government don't support fund for us anymore? Xenia: It doesn't mean they completely ignore us. But it is not mistaken that we'll become roughly an organization that earns profit independently. Tsrein: ...The rumor was true. Xenia: Dear. That story even spread to military academy? Tsrein: Yes, in its own way. Xenia: Ah, then the candidate will decrease. Tsrein: I myself volunteered. Xenia: As I thought. You're a bit strange. You volunteered even you knew it is harsh. Tsrein: I, when heard the action of the Masoukishin corps from the battles before, I admired you guys. Ryune: Admire? We? Tsrein: Yes! Ryune: No matter what you say, even you know we're having problem with the Langran troops? Tsrein: No, because I heard that is also for the justice of all Langran. That is a very important thing. Of course, I love Langran but, I must correct the injustice. Masaki: That's why, you are stiff. Xenia: Well, I'm happy that you volunteered. Moreover, it is time to return to Langran. If we don't write report we won't receive reward. Masaki: Oh, right. Let's return. [obtain 10000 credits]

1. Scene 9#

Becky: Ah, welcome back. Well done for beating the Demon Golem. Masaki: Becky! When did you return? Becky: Just a while ago. But, I'm feel sorry. I could have aid you clearing the Golem. Xenia: That is unnatural. The truth is you can come here earlier? Becky: N, no way. Hahaha... Don't say such a thing! Mio: Hi, everyone, you are tired! Ryune: Mio, you also return? Mio: Yeah, I was with Becky-san. When I hear you go to clear the Goblem, I hided together with Becky. Becky: Ah, hey, Mio! You shouldn't spoil our secret!! Xenia: Hm, as I thought! Mio: Well well, isn't keep the house is also necessary? Masaki: What are you saying? Beating the Golem was the only troublesome. Mio: Yeah. Masaki: It's not always a good idea to say honestly! Tsrein: You are Mio Sasuga-dono and Rebecca Turner-dono right? I'm... Becky: Yeah, we heard about you. You are ensign Lecanivan? You can just call me Becky. Tsrein: Yes! Then, Becky-dono, you can call me Tsrein! Becky: ...You are hard. Mio: You also can just call me Mio. Your age, doesn't change that much? Tsrein: I'm 15. Mio: I see, then you are one year younger than me. You are the youngest if we don't count Pulesia. Tsrein: Please take care of me, Senior! Mio: Senior... Good feeling... Hey, say it once more! Tsrein: Y, yes... Please take care of me, Senior. Mio: Yeah! Leave it to me, Junior! Btw, your hair style, did you set it on purpose? Tsrein: Eh? This? No, it is a natural kinky hair. Mio: Hm... Try to sit with one knee up, hold down the hand, and do a cross? Tsrein: Yes? Er... L, like this? Mio: Right right. Then concentrate your power. Tsrein: Y, yes... Phew!! Mio: Oh! At this point the hair waves is perfect! Ryune: It could even better if Lang Xiao is beside you. Mio: You understood, Ryune-san. Tsrein: E, er... What does that mean? Mio: A, because many problems will appear if I explain let that through. Yeah, I satisfield so that is it. Tsrein: Y, yes... Mio: Until the next time, let someone be able to wave your hair. That is homework. Tsrein: Eh? That is too much for me. Gennadii: Don't talk unreasonable again. Masaki: Uoh!? Gennadii is here? Gennadii: Yeah, I returned together with Mio. Mio: Great stealth walking, Gen-chan! How nice appearance! Tsrein: S, sorry to bother you! Gennadii-dono! Gennadii: Don't worry. I'm used to it. Mio: Btw, only Tsrein is newcomer? Ryune: Certainly, the schedule says tomorrow, some people attach together with the aircraft. You didn't read the notice? Mio: No. It is rather early to hear. Ryune: But it is not the time to put on airs. Mio: What is the aircraft like? Kaga? Taifuu? Essex? Enterprise? Ryune: ...That is the name of the old-fashioned aircraft right? It is different. Xenia: Because it will be the place we spend our life from now on, I understand your anxiety. Masaki: The launching ceremony is tomorrow right? I understand that you can't wait until then.
