The Earth Force had been significantly weakened due to the economic sanctions of the Colonial Space Force.

Several years have passed since the death of Tatsunoshin, leader of the Earth resistance...

His son Chiyomaru was visiting his father's former confidant, the genius military strategist Tessan.

Tessan: No matter how many times you come here, my answer will be the same! The only lord I swear allegiance to is the late Lord Tatsunoshin! Even if you are his only son, I have no intention of serving two masters!

Chiyomaru: ...you are a coward!

Tessan: ! What?!

Chiyomaru: Do you really intend, despite your talents, to hide away as a recluse without serving the people? I am not asking you to do this for myself. I implore you to rise once more for all the people suffering under the oppressive rule of the Colonial Forces!

Tessan: Don't talk as if you know everything, young monk! If you're going to preach to me about justice, then show me you're prepared to face the consequences!

Tessan: Impressive...!

Chiyomaru: Lord Tessan...!

Tessan: Do not call me that! It is I, Tessan, who now pledges my life to you, Lord Chiyomaru.

Chiyomaru: Thank you.

Chiyomaru: ...that concludes the deployment of our forces. All units must remain vigilant! All hands, combat stations! That was good, right Lord Tessan? The cause is ours! Show them the power of the Resistance!

Gawaine: You... you're Tatsunoshin's son!

Chiyomaru: Lord Gawaine... I didn't want to meet you this way.

Gawaine: Such is the fate of the battlefield. Have at you!

Gawaine: I see you've grown up... heh, you truly are the descendant of Tatsunoshin. Your father and I were long-time rivals who respected each other... We crossed swords countless times. If I must fall by the hand of his son, I die content... May you become a great leader. Farewell!

Chiyomaru: Lord Gawaine!

Tessan: That man is no simple opponent... I doubt we've seen the last of him. He wouldn't throw his life away for nothing.

Chiyomaru: You think so...?

Operator: Lord Chiyomaru! The Colonial Forces are retreating!

Chiyomaru: Do not pursue them! Well done, everyone.

Chiyomaru: (We may have swept away the Colonial Forces for now, but sooner or later they will reconstitute their power and attack us again.When that time comes, will I be able to lead the Resistance to victory...?)

Jin: It's been awhile, Chiyomaru!

Chiyomaru: Jin Saotome! What are you doing here!?

Jin: It's good to see you again! Now let's fight!

Chiyomaru: Saotome... can you sense what's in my heart? I have surely seen what is in yours.

Jin: Heh, I lost again! Looks like I've got some training to do! See ya later, Chiyomaru! We'll meet again somewhere up there!

Chiyomaru: Thank you, Saotome. I will doubt myself no longer!

Mary: Damn Resistance, their formation is flawless... This new leader's got some skills.

Soldier: Sample extraction is complete!

Mary: Alright, we're done here. Destroy the facility!

Chiyomaru: What is she doing... that's a civilian zone! What is wrong with you...! You're supposed to protect the peace on Earth... or is that just lip service!?

Mary: How naive you are, boy.

Mary: Damn, I let my guard down... But I've bought us plenty of time.

Chiyomaru: You idiots! Look around you.. Is this how you do things!? Is this the world you want!?

Mary: Mission Complete. Returning to base.

Chiyomaru: Damn you!

Tessan: We must retreat too. ...there's nothing more we can do here.

Soldier: Lord Tessan! We found this note left on Chiyomaru's desk...!

Chiyomaru: "I no longer have the confidence to lead the Resistance."

Soldier: Lord Tessan!

Tessan: Back off! Whether Chiyomaru is here or not, it makes no difference to us now!

Tessan: (If you cannot overcome these minor hardships, you cannot fulfill your duty. Lord Chiyomaru... Open your eyes!)

Chiyomaru: Ah, I know this place... I used to train here often with Father. I didn't realize I'd gone this far out... Who are you?!

Santana: You're Chiyomaru, right? If you're Chiyomaru, let's see what you're made of!

Santana: My bad, my bad! I can see why old Gawaine saw such potential in you.

Chiyomaru: Lord Gawaine?! Is he alive?!

Santana: I came to check on you at his request, but I can see there's nothing to worry about. By the way, I've got some interesting information. Rumor is the Colonial Force's biological weapons research facility is located in the town just ahead. Better be careful!

Chiyomaru: Biological weapons...?!

Santana: Heh, no need to thank me. The old man already paid me a hefty sum to tell you that. See ya.

Chiyomaru: Is this the town? Why am I here, this doesn't concern me... or the Colonial Forces, or the Resistance...

Arieta: Are you all alone too?

Chiyomaru: ! Who are you?

Arieta: I am Arieta. That is what they call me...

Chiyomaru: It's dangerous to be out alone in a place like this. Do you live in this town?

Arieta: I don't know... I don't know anything. My head... my head hurts!

Chiyomaru: You... Arieta..?!

Mary: !! Arieta!? She's got ahold of a VA?!

Mary: Damn it! Our precious experiment...!

Chiyomaru: Biological weapons... impossible... could it be?! ...Arieta!!

Chiyomaru: I apologize for worrying you, Lord Tessan.

Tessan: Don't sweat it! We have already made all our preparations.

Chiyomaru: All ships, launch! Our target: the Colonial Forces' Ultimate Weapon! The cause is ours! Arieta, please watch me now. To ensure the tragedy that befell you is never repeated, I must put an end to this conflict now, once and for all!

Mary: Damn Resistance... have they managed to sniff out the location of our ultimate weapon...?! Release Shade! Use him to slow them down!

Chiyomaru: ! Something is coming...!

Mary: Shade was defeated?! I never imagined they would breach our defenses so quickly... Alright then, I'll face them myself!

CO: Lieutenant Mary, that's enough! You will withdraw now!

Mary: Huh?!

CO: We're deploying GOD. You and your forces will withdraw.

Mary: GOD?! But it isn't complete yet...

CO: You have done well. You deserve to rest now.

Mary: But...!

Soldier: Chiyomaru, we've just reached the Ultimate Weapon! Ahead of us is... wh, what the hell is that?! U, UWAAAA!!

Chiyomaru: What happened?

Tessan: That must be their trump card... the brain behind the ultimate weapon mentioned in the intel.

Chiyomaru: !! UWAAAAA!!!!

Soldier: Chiyomaru, we've subdued the Ultimate Weapon!

Chiyomaru: Good! Well done, everyone!

Tessan: Lord Chiyomaru! Reports indicate the power station which was supplying energy to the ultimate weapon has deviated from its satellite orbit and is currently in free fall! At this rate it will crash into the Earth! The damage will be catastrophic!

Chiyomaru: H, How can that be?!

Chiyomaru: You...! Are you really trying to repeat that catastrophe a second time...!

Mary: Listen up, kid. The victors write the history. Those empty slogans like "the goodwill of the people"... they are nothing but a pipe dream. It is naive idealism, utterly devoid of any real power to act! No matter how corrupt the Colonial government may be, it is the only truly realistic choice for maintaining order on Earth!

Chiyomaru: Did you never believe in the people, then?!

Mary: I did once, but that was a long time ago...

Chiyomaru: If that is your "reality", I can not accept it!

Mary: Heh... you may have defeated me, but the station can no longer be controlled externally. No one can stop it now! Victory is mine!

Tessan: With our current fleet, even if we could combine the propulsive power of all our VAs, it wouldn't be enough to stop its descent. We're done for...

Chiyomaru: Damn... all hands, retreat!

Soldier: Chiyomaru!

Chiyomaru: I will remain here, and try to alter its descent path. If I can steer it somewhere unpopulated, and lessen the casualties, even a little... I'm sorry, Tessan. There's no time to evacuate you.

Tessan: What are you saying?! My life is already pledged to you, Lord Chiyomaru!

Mary: Your efforts are futile. It's like I told you, ideals cannot change reality!

Chiyomaru: Even if I fall today, my comrades will carry on my spirit and continue the fight... No matter what happens, I believe in humanity! I believe in the goodness in people's hearts!

Mary: .....!

Tessan: One minute until our VA reaches its thermal critical limit...!

Chiyomaru: ...Is this... the end?!

Jin: Don't give up!

Mary: !! What?!

Gawaine: As he said, you must never give up!

Santana: Damn it, I had a bad feeling about this! There goes my brand-new booster pack! I've got no luck!!

Arieta: Are you ok...?

Chiyomaru: Saotome! Lord Gawaine! Arieta... everyone!

Soldier: Chiyomaru! We'll add our power too! Forward, everyone!

Mary: ...Im, impossible!

The Year 2100...

A cease-fire agreement was signed between the Space Colony and the Resistance.

Chiyomaru was appointed to an important position in the allied government, and he continues to fight to this day for his ideals: to build a world of lasting peace.

Mary Miyabi disappeared after the final battle. Her whereabouts remain unknown...
