Stage 47 – On the Verge of Death! Dr. Hell’s Final Assault!

Intermission


So Esther’s back after a long stint as a DM! She gets C.A and Bullet Save.


Shinobu and Aoi get E-Save since the Dancougars are pretty EN thirsty.

The Shinkirou gets a FUB and now has +100EN and +300 damage to all attacks. I choose the 0 EN cost for barrier, effectively rendering it an almost indestructible machine.

Japan, Kurogane House

Kouji’s mother is preparing for Dr. Hell’s soon to be coming attack. She than notices that she’s being watched and asks Detective Ankokuji to come out. He does and he isn’t surprised that she knew that he was here. They than discuss why Dr. Hell is doing this and that they wont let him have his way.

Sorry folks, after quite a bit of research I still couldn’t find out what they were talking about :S

At Bardos Island…

Dr. Hell
Today we strike down the Photon Labs! Come forth generals!
Dr. Hell
Count Brocken!
Count Brocken
I’m here!
Dr. Hell
Pygman!
Pygman
We will succeed!
Dr. Hell
Baron Ashura!
Baron Ashura
I’ll fight for you for all eternity Dr.Hell! We well settle things with Kabuto Kouji once and for all!
Dr. Hell
Now go forth and gather your forces!
….
* Generals leave… *
Dr. Hell
…You can come out now.
Gestalt
Your obsession with Photon Power is…amusing.
Dr. Hell
This King of Hell isn’t enough to fight the Ba’al with…only with Photon Power can we survive!
Sayuri
Do you think those three clowns will even succeed?
Dr. Hell
They will live up to my expectations! I have high hopes for Baron Ashura.
Gestalt
And why the elaborate call for a showdown? If you wanted the Photon Power so badly, you could’ve taken the Photon Labs while ZEXIS were dealing with Insalaum!
Dr. Hell
You fools could never hope to understand my plans!
Sayuri
Perhaps. In any case good luck (not!) for the battle.
Gestalt
You might need it more than you think! Mwahaha!

At the Dragon’s Hive…

Kouji
We’re ready for you Dr. Hell! Bring it on!
Benkei
It’s strange how he gave us time to prepare.
Hayato
It’s most likely some kind of trap.
Boss
M-maybe he’s so strong he’s just giving us a fighting chance?!!
Takeru
I don’t think it’s like that Boss…
Shiro
Are you going to fight, Bro?
Kouji
Of course! Today we’re going to put a stop to Dr. Hell, once and for all!
Sayaka
Do your best Kouji!
Kouji
Thanks Sayaka!
Esther
Ehhhhhh…
Sayaka
What’s wrong Esther?
Esther
It’s just…you guys are so lovey dovey!
Sayaka
Eh? Really…..
Kouji
H-hey! What’s that supposed to mean?
Esther
I mean, next to Renton and Eureka, you’re ZEXIS’ top couple!
Alto
Eh? Maybe she’s after Kouji too?
Michel
Nope…her heart only belongs to one man.
Kallen
And what about you, Esther?
Esther
M-me?
Aoyama
I’ve seen the way you look at Crowe!
Ibuki
Yeah, just admit it already!
Akagi
That’s right! The lonely warrior, haunted by debt and the curse of the Sphere!
Aoyama
A hero like him also needs a woman!
Crowe
Hey, what’s up?!
Esther
Crowe!
Aoyama
He’s here! Say pal…Esther wants to tell you something!
Crowe
…On second thoughts, the Librasta needs some work. Later!
* Crowe hurries off *
Aoyama
Ehhh, what’s so good about that guy anyway?
Esther
I, don’t think anything of him!
Aoyama
I was talking to Lady Marguerette over there!
Marguerette
There’s nothing between me and Crowe!
Akagi
You’re kidding right?
Aoyama
Maybe you’re just waiting for your moment to strike?
Klan
Ehh?! So Arksabers have really bad taste in men!
Marguerette
I’m a knight!! Man or woman, I have no such intterest in things!
Kei
Ohhh, so you’re not a man OR a woman now are you?
Pierre
Hmm…I’m not sure I can tell by just looking….
Klan
Where’d you guys come from?
Roybea
We can’t let this chance to confirm this go to waste!
Michel
He’s right about that.
Marguerette
S-stop! Don’t come any closer!
Gain
Don’t worry, we won’t do anything….
Masato
If there’s no difference between men and women, surely you don’t mind right?!
Marguerette
N-no! Stop, please!
Athrun
What’s going on here?
Athrun
Lady Marguerette is CLEARLY a woman! You guys outta be ashamed of yourselves!
Kei
We were just messing around!
Gain
We’re just trying to break the ice a little…I guess maybe we took it a bit too far?
Athrun
As long as you guys know that, it’s fine
Shinn
Good going Athrun!
Athrun
Well I’ve got a reputation to protect!
Marguerette
T-That was close!
Crowe
Are you okay Marguerette? You don’t look so good.
Crowe
We’re all counting on you in battle you know!
Esther
Can’t you see she’s just been through a lot?! Can’t you be a bit more sensitive?! You don’t understand a woman’s feelings at all!
Marguerette
Esther…
Esther
He should treat you like a Lady!
Marguerette
It’s okay Esther, I don’t think he meant anything.
Crowe
Geez Esther, why so snarky?
Esther
You’ve been avoiding me, haven’t you?!
Crowe
It’s not like that! We’ve been pretty busy you know!
Esther
No excuses!
Crowe
(I don’t get it, what did I do wrong?!)
Marguerette
…Anyway, we should be preparing for the upcoming battle.
Marguerette
We’ll probably have to fight Prince Uther at some point. Are you okay with that Esther?
Esther
R-right!
Marguerette
Heh, that’s cute.
* Marguerette walks off *
Crowe
You guys make a pretty tough pair!
Esther
Eh?
Crowe
Well we got some time now.
Esther
So, how’s the Chief doing?
Crowe
Worried sick. She was working around the clock to find a way to restore you, you know?
Esther
Really? I didn’t think the Chief cared so much.
Crowe
Of course she does!
Esther
How about Carlos?
Crowe
Esther
What is it?
Crowe
He sacrificed himself to take out a ZONE.
Esther
Oh….
Esther
…what a selfish jerk! Why would he do something so stupid?
Crowe
(Okay, maybe it’s better she doesn’t know about all the times I tried doing that…)
Crowe
Anyway Esther! We’re counting on you! It’s your job to punish that Anbrone witch for all the horrible things she’s done!
Esther
O-okay!

第47話: 死線! 総攻撃Dr.ヘル!
Stage 47: Line of Death! Dr. Hell’s Final Assault!

Ankokuji
About time you guys arrived! We were starting to get worried!


Here’s my squad, an all Super team lead by Zero. Not pictured is of course, Mazinger Z, which is a forced deployment.

Tsubasa
Just in time too by the looks of it!
Gamia Q
They’re coming.


Baron Ashura
Kabuto Kouji!
Baron Ashura
Dr. Hell brought me back from the underworld when I couldn’t awaken from thousands of years of sleep.
Baron Ashura
To repay him, I have resolved to fight and sacrifice everything!
Baron Ashura
But there’s another reason why I made it this far.
Baron Ashura
And that is reason is you, Kabuto Kouji!
Kouji
Me?!
Baron Ashura
I hate you!
Baron Ashura
I must defeat you!
Baron Ashura
I’ll defeat you! I’ll defeat you! I’ll defeat you!!!!! I want to beat you! That’s all I want!!!!!
Kouji
Ashura….
Boss
Let’s get em, Kouji!
Kouji
Boss?
Boss
It’s a matter of pride! Ashura needs to beat you. Otherwise world domination would be dull for him!
Ryouma
That’s probably right…all he can think about is defeating you and Mazinger Z right now!
Boss
That’s gotta be it! Unless he beats you, he’s not a man. I feel the same way!
Kouji
Ooooooowa!
Kouji
Ashura, I’ll show you who’s the man!
Ashura
Excellent Kouji! We’ll settle this once and for all!
Kouji
Let’s go, Brocken, Pygman! And Ashura!
Kouji
I’ll kick all your asses on the same turn!

SR Point – Within 4 turns, defeat all all enemies, then Brocken, Ashura, Pygman on the same turn

Turn 1


Here we are, facing a rather large army of missiles, Energer Z’s, and Glowzer X-10’s. The annoying thing is that the bosses are spread over the top half of the map, so we gotta split up to deal with them in order to get the SR Point.



An early Morale Up on Aquarion boots up the Element System and lets me do some CA/Double Attack shenanigans.

Unfortunately Apollo misses the kill by 500HP and the missile blows up (doesn’t count as a kill). Dang it.

Confuse up!





It’s pretty damn annoying since my guys always miss out on killing these guys by a few hundred HP. If you attack them, make sure you stay out of their range (at least 4 squares), or kill them in 1 hit,

End of turn 1. It’s a pretty damn poor start, as I couldn’t even manage to get anyone’s Continuous Action off due to the stupid missiles.





The counterattack goes way better. Aquarion manages to Mugen Punch a few of those Glowzers into the moon.

Turn 2


All the mooks moved up. The bosses do not.



It goes much better as my guys start to reach 120 morale and CA starts activating.



The 3-3-7 combination, kinda lazy since it’s just a whole bunch of stills, but still awesome nonetheless.

The left side is cleaned up by Banjou, Watta and Kappei.


And after defeating that Energer Z, Simon finally reaches Baron Ashura.


Touga and Apollo manage to reach Brocken as well. The latter does a fucking huge ass chunk of life off him, with a 2x Hot Blooded Solar Sword.


End of turn 2. That’s much cleaner! The majority of the mooks got wiped out, and Brocken is nearly dead.

Turn 3


The bosses finally moved up to fight my guys. I’m possibly looking to finish up this turn. The problem is Pygman, who’s kinda off the beaten path.

You’ll need to use the Lock On seishin to hit the guy, due to his ridiculous SS size.



Also his attacks cause 1/2 stats, which is a real pain in the ass, but at least he’s nearly dead so the next attack will kill him.



The last 3 grunts go down…





And Baron Ashura gets burned down, ending with a Big Ass Punch from Kouji

Who gets aced too. He gets 1.2x damage bonus at 130 morale and up.
Defeating Ashura causes a small event..

Baron Ashura
Dr. Hell…I have failed you!
Ankokuji
Whoah whoah whoah, where do you think you’re going? Stay still, and I’ll make this quick.
Baron Ashura
N-noo!
?????
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
Baron Ashura
It’s….
Ankokuji
Eeeeep!
Gaiou
Get out of my face! Or I’ll eat you!
Ankokuji
Aaaaaaaaah!
Baron Ashura
Dimension General!
Gaiou
It’s been a long time, old friend. Perhaps it’s time you regained your memories.

Turns out Ashura has some friends in pretty high places.



Pygman gets nuked by Ryouma
Pygman
It’s not over yet!
Boss
Shit! He made it to the Photon Labs!

Upon his defeat he rushes off to the Photon Labs…

Pygman
Professor Yumi! I’ll be the end to send you to the netherworld!
Prof. Yumi
!!!
Pygman
Well then!
????
Not if we can help it!
…..
“*gunshot*
*Pygman’s body starts to dissolve*”
Pygman
Uwaaagh!
Prof. Yumi
Y-you’re!
Ankokuji
Sorry for being late.
Prof. Yumi
!!
Ankokuji
As you know, I’m an agent of the nation, Inspector Ankokuji!
Ankokuji
And this is my honey, Q-Q-Q-Q-Q-chan!
Gamia Q3
No. My name is Gamia Q3
Pygman
Gamia?! You bitch!
Pygman
Arrrrrrrgh! What did you shoot me with?!!!
Ankokuji
Just something a little, *special*
Pygman
Curse you! I’ll remember this!
Ankokuji
Have another one!
….
*gunshot*
Ankokuji
Wow, am I fucking awesome or what?
Prof. Yumi
Why are you here?
Ankokuji
This was my real mission. I have bullets to take out the enemy’s three jackass generals!
Prof. Yumi
From who??
Ankokuji
Nishikiori of course!
Ankokuji
(Well, that’s my job done. The rest is up to you, ZEXIS!)
Sayaka
Father!
Prof. Yumi
We’re okay! Just stay focused on the battle!

In the conversation, he mentions “Blade”, which is alluded to be Great Mazinger in the actual anime itself, though I can’t make out what he’s saying.

Upon encountering a female pilot, Brocken has a rather interesting conversation…

Count Brocken
Heh heh heh…so this one’s piloted by a girl eh?
Count Brocken
Punishing you is going to be so much FUN! First I’ll peel off the cockpit amour, then….
Lunamaria
Enemy of women!
Marguerette
Lewd men like you deserve no mercy!
Count Brocken
W-wha???
Aoi
You’re the one who will be punished!
Silvia
Prepare youself, Count Pervert!
Kallen
I’m gonna kick that head of yours like a football!
Sara
No no! I’m going to use it as a flower pot!
Yoko
Target practice!
Noin
I’ll feed it to my dog!
Esther
I’ll crush it!
Sumeragi
I authorize you to carry out those actions!
Count Brocken
W-What?! I haven’t even done anything yet!

-5parrowhawk




Count Brocken
I-im-impossible!!!!


And finally Touga downs Brocken in style


SR Point GET!
Edge
We did it!
Touga
I don’t think it’s over just yet Edge…
???
How naïve!
Apollo
What?!
???
Just as I thought ZEXIS…your powers are quite formidable…
???
Therefore I must reveal my ultimate power!
???
Rise, King of Hell!
Kouji
Dr. Hell!


Duo
Oh shit, what the hell is that?
Aoyama
A big man with 4 arms?
Crowe
Don’t forget the 3 faces.
Duo
Real funny, chumps.
Dr. Hell
Watch closey, Kabuto Kouji…and ZEXIS! My full power!
Ryouma
Oh crap, he’s headed straight for the Photon Lab!
Dr. Hell
Burn to ashes!


Kouji
The Photon Lab!
Sayaka
Father!
Dr. Hell
Hahaha….the Photon Labs is just a vessel…the Japanium ore inside is what matters!
Marin
Japanium?! Is that what he’s really after?
Dr. Hell
With this I can continue my mission…first Japan, then the world!
Crowe
Mission?
Ryouma
Like we’d let you have your way!
Dr. Hell
Fools! This is the only way we can survive against the Ba’al!
Simon
Ba’al…enemies of all life…
Zero
(Wiseman wanted power for that reason as well…just what the hell is going on?!)
Hayato
Then, it was the Ba’al who crushed the Mykene empire thousands of years ago?!
Dr. Hell
Do you understand now! I must do this or we will all perish!
???
I won’t allow that!
Dr. Hell
What?!

Dr. Hell
It transformed!
Prof. Yumi
This is the Scientific Fortress Laboratory of Photon Energy!
Sayaka
Father! You’re alive!
Sawashi
By Photon Power!
Nossori
For Photon Power!
Morimori
We built it in secret to protect the Japanium ore!
Dr. Hell
!!!
Prof. Yumi
But I didn’t want it to come down to this! Photon Energy is for peace….it’s suppose to illuminate the way to the future!
Kouji
Dr. Hell! Whatever your mission is, I can’t let you win here! Your methods are wrong!
Ryouma
That’s right old man. We can’t let Mad Scientists like yourself get a hold of Photonic Energy!
Dr. Hell
Tch!
Dr. Hell
Very well Kabuto Kouji! And ZEXIS! Let’s have one last battle to decide the fate of the world!

Boss
It’s the Mechanical Beast all stars!
Aoyama
Hmm…you could even call them the Monstars?
Duo
Duo
Soooo lame.
Dr. Hell
My mechanical beasts and the King of Hell won’t lose to you!
Kouji
Dr. Hell! I’ll put an end to your ambitions with Mazinger Z! Let’s go!


Well Dr Hell means serious business, because he brought out every single mecha beast ever made, averaging at 25,000HP each.


Most of my guys already had their turn, so I activate Iron Wall on the Quarter and send it in to tank for the Ikaruga, who’s already used it’s move.




Predictably, most of the guys go for the Ikaruga, but with the Quarter nearby with Iron Wall on, the Pinpoint Barrier absorbs everything.

Turn 4





And an all out Super Robot War erupts!


Quite a number of the beasts have the nasty status effects. These include Armor down (rust hurricane) and stat reducing attacks, which can be annoying for a team full of Supers to deal with.


First kill! Stronger T4 gets done in by the Quarter.

End of turn 4. I’ve destroyed about 4-5 guys, but there’s still plenty to go.


The Doc goes for his MAPW, but misses everyone, hah!

Turn 5





These beasts are actually a pretty good opportunity to level up some of the motherships.


At last, all the mecha beasts dealt with!

And the end of turn 5. I’ve surrounded Dr Hell in preparation for the beatdown next turn.

Turn 6


It’s time to go all out on Dr. Hell!

I almost forgot, Exhaust the guy down to 100 morale and Analyze!





From here on int, it’s just as simple as unloading everything you’ve got left into the guys, with all the Hot Blood!

Arranged Battle Scene



I let Roger take the kill, since he’s the only Super left without Hot Blood. Dr Hell drops a Super Alloy Z.

And Roger learns Soul at 60!
Kouji
It’s over Dr. Hell!
Dr. Hell
Not yet! This King of Hell has a secret!

Marguerette
He revived?!
Crowe
What the hell!
Dr. Hell
This Gordon can tap into dimensional energy!
Dr. Hell
While it’s active, I can’t be defeated!
????
That won’t be a problem!
Dr. Hell
It’s you…!

Inside the King of Hell, Gordon…

Dr. Hell
Shit! The dimensional power converter was destroyed!
Baron Ashura
It’s me! Baron Ashura, the lapdog of Dr. Hell!
Dr. Hell
Damn you! You found out?!
Baron Ashura
I remember everything now! You were the one who rot our bodies away while we were sleeping!
Baron Ashura
You made me your slave and lied to me!
Baron Ashura
Dr.Hell! With this I…no…Mykene will finally be avenged!

Ashura having recovered his memories thanks to Gaiou, isn’t so happy he’s been lied to. He breaks into the King of Hell and starts sabotaging things.

Kouji
Ashura, what are you doing?
Baron Ashura
Kabuto Kouji.
Baron Ashura
Thousands of years ago when the Mykene were near defeat…
Baron Ashura
I was put to sleep as two people, Tristan and Isolde.
Baron Ashura
When I awoke I was one person! Half Tristan and half Isolde!
Baron Ashura
Dr. Hell told me the bodies were rotted away and that it was the only way to save me. So I pledged a lifetime of servitude to him!
Baron Ashura
But now I remember the truth! It was Dr. Hell himself who destroyed half of our bodies!
Baron Ashura
He lied to me and used me! For that I will have my revenge! For Mykene!
On the ropes, Dr Hell makes a run for it.

Juzo
It’s time Kouji! Use the true power of the Mazinger army!
Kouji
Gramps!
Baron Ashura
The King of Hell’s power converter has been destroyed! We can finish him now!
Kouji
Alright! Let’s do this Ashura!
Baron Ashura
For Mykene!!!!!!!
Ashura and Kouji proceed to team up against Hell…




…ending in the 100 Rocket Punch attack!

Dr. Hell
Fools! You don’t understand what you’ve done!
Uwaaaaaaaaaagh!

Kouji
Gramps! Everyone! We did it!
????
Hey, that was pretty cool, huh?
????
Cool eh?
Benkei
Sting! Cohen!
Hayato
You survived the Metal Dragon exploding?!
Cohen
Of course!
Sting
It’s all thanks to the power of evolution!
Ryouma
I’ll end you guys!
Cohen
I don’t think so…
Sting
We’re off to obtain the next level of evolution!
Cohen
Photon energy will be nothing compared to us!
Sting
Later!
….
* Sting and Cohen dissappear *
Ryouma
Dammit!
Kouji
The Invaders have something stronger than Photon Energy?
Ryouma
I wouldn’t worry about it.
Kouji
Ryouma…
Ryouma
Like Dr.Hell and Old Man Saotome, they’ll have their day coming for them.
Sayaka
Hey has anyone seen Ashura?
Boss
Oh shit! I guess he must ‘ve slipped away!
Kouji
….
Sayaka
Crowe
Well I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had enough Photon Energy and Getter rays for a day. it’s time for a beer!
Kouji
I’ll take you up on that.
Ryouma
Yeah me too.
Crowe
How ’bout it, Captain?
Jeffrey
Beer o’clock.

Inside Shin Dragon…

Gou
….
Gou
(Come…)
Kei
Eh?
Gai
H-hey, did you just hear that?
Kei
I don’t know, but it sounded like Gou….
Gai
What does it mean?!
Kei
I don’t know, but I hope this means he’s coming back soon…

Elsewhere…

Gaiou
Tristan, Isolde…
Ashura
Those names no longer mean anything…
Ashura
From now onwards, I am Ashura!
Ashura
I remember the time you fought alongside the Mykene.
Ashura
I know time of the Ba’al will be coming soon…
Ashura
And when that time arrives I look forward to fighting with you again, Dimension General!
Gaiou
When that time comes again huh…I wonder.

Whatever the case, it sounds like there’s some doubt in Gaiou’s voice. Is it because he doesn’t believe in Ashura? Or is it because he feels that he may not be around when the Ba’al come? Who knows?

Strategy Corner

Okay there are a few points to consider on this stage, and let’s go through them in order. First all, them missiles! They blow up after one attack, which means you don’t get a kill and morale. If you’re initiating the attack, outrange them with attacks 4 or greater so they can’t counterattack (and blow up).

In terms of the bosses, Pygman is the furthest, but he also has the least HP. He also requires some seishin investment to kill, because his SS size means everything will miss him normally. About 3 Hot Blood attacks should be able to defeat him. You have to be careful though, because one of his attacks causes the dreaded 1/2 stats status ailment, which can really put a dent in your plans. I recommend sending units with Flash to deal with him or Tetsujin (he isn’t affected by statuses).

Ashura and Brocken also have status down attacks, but they aren’t nearly as deadly (Moblity down and Morale down respectively). With 4 turns to burn down all the enemies and bosses, you’ll most likely have to expend some Hot Bloods to deal the necessary damage. Remember to defeat all three on the same turn for the SR Point!

Once the trio are dead, the initial enemies will retreat, regardless whether or not you killed them. Dr Hell and the mecha beasts will appear at the southwest. They have various status attacks as well, such as Armour Down.

At this point you can take it easy, but since the beasts will most likely move in a pack, I would suggest only attacking once you are 100% ready and can send all your guys in at once. This is to prevent one guy getting targeted over and over in the enemy phase and getting blown up, since these are pseudo-bosses and can dish out a decent amount of damage, especially if you get hit by Armour Down.

Once the beasts are dead, just unload everything that’s left into Hell for the victory. Just watch out for his MAPW attack.

Comments

This is the first stage which is almost completely done using skits. The dialogue is based off Dick’s entries in the Akurasu wiki (Thanks Dick) and while they are not exact translations should give you a pretty good idea of what’s going on.

However this took much, much, MUCH longer than I thought. The main challenge was trying to figure out appropriate dialogue while trying to get the point across. I may have to scale back in the future, but we’ll see how it goes.

    You really put a lot of work into this one, I’m really impressed!

  2. Forte

    Very nice! Loved the beat downs the supers dished out. xD

  3. YJ

    @Dick
    Thanks…it was quite al ot of work creating the dialogue though. I had help from your summary and I could make out a few words here and there.

    Poor Count Brocken

    “W-What?! I haven’t even done anything yet! ”

    Just like in the anime lol

  5. Mattman324

    I want to point out that Dai-Guard is a Real. A big, very Superish Real, piloted by someone who wishes it was a Super, but a Real nonetheless.
