Opening Theme: 桜花爛漫 - KEYTALK
Ending Theme: 忘想花 - Madoka Yonezawa
-A massive knight-like android was seen walking down the city streets as it was cornered by a group of Ultralisks and Xenomorphs while the Androids that were in the sky were being attacked by Phoenixes and Mutalisks along with the flying Xenomorphs. Within the city streets, the sight of Emperor and Ramuh were seen together with Nemesis and Mea as the four were fighting against the massive floating Android called "Athenaea"-
Mea: I guess they ain't wrong when she's titled as the "Steel Goddess".
Emperor: A ruthless machine. Even my Swarm can't take her down.
Ramuh: I'm pretty sure you established that when you ran away from her army to begin with.
Emperor: Eh, sounds about right.
Nemesis: How do you propose we beat it?
Ramuh: Alright, Mea-chan, Nemesis. Y'all see those wings? Take Em out. Big boss here and I will pummel her from the front, you ladies get the rear. -Both Mea and Nemesis would sprout out their wings and fly to the back of giant and would attack the wings of the android while Ramuh fired multiple shots of missiles and plasma blasts at the massive titan while the Emperor created an energy ball and shot it at the titan, upon contact, it created a massive explosion- Oh, nice shot.
Emperor: There's still more where that came from!
Ramuh: Well then, keep it coming!
-In Mikan's school, the sight of Kei along with Yami and a few Xenomorphs were seen outside of the school gym as they were guarding the building from the androids that were invading the area-
Kei: The source is that mothership. We need to take it out.
Yami: But we don't have the army to stop it.
Kei: Contact Artanis. We need him.
Yami: I'm talking to him right now. -She said as she was psionically calling out to the Protoss Hierarch-
"Artanis, where are you?" - Yami.
-The sight of Artanis was seen piercing his blade into the eye socket of an Android-
"West of the Androids' mothership. Is something wrong, Yami?" - Artanis.
"The source of the Androids' control is coming from that massive mothership, Kei plans to assault the mothership with your support." - Yami.
"'I will head to your location then, we will prepare for a full frontal assault!" - Artanis. -As he said, he would jump and warp to multiple different areas as he would run towards the school to meet up with Kei and Yami-
-Within the passing moments, Artanis would meet up with Kei and Yami as a Probe would follow Artanis and warp in a Pylon beside of the school gym and created multiple Photon Canons that protected the gym from incoming attacks as it was then multiple Zealots, Stalkers, Dragoons and Colossi would warp in around the Pylon-
Artanis: How should we attack the mothership?
Kei: Just swarm it. -As he said, Ramuh was heard playing the song "Kakusei" by Superfly on the communicator as he connected the song onto the speakers that were around the entire country of Japan. Kei along with Artanis would then head up to the mothership as they rode on top of a Colossus while Yami stayed back with Mikan and went inside the gym-
Mikan: Yami-san, wh-where's Kei-kun?
Yami: He's going to finish the job.
Mikan: Eh?
"The black sky is appearing
The repeating thunder pulses
Before the storm begins
I will cast that spell on you
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare
Amare Dilahi Jumaki Ganashara
I will resuscitate
Your lovely heart
Throw off that body
Now it's time for you to return to me
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare
Amare Dilahi Jumaki Ganashara
Howl to the heavens, awakening
Close your eyes, scoop the wind, dissolve yourself, ring the bells
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare
Amare Dilahi Jumaki Ganashara
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare
Amare Dilahi Jumaki Ganashara
Howl to the heavens, awakening
No matter how many times the thunder hits
I will go beyond the darkness while singing
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare
Amare Dilahi Jumaki Ganashara
Mahari Yuware Gaaie Savanare"
-As the army got close to the mothership, both Artanis along with Kei would jump up high to the massive ship that was floating above the city and as they reached on top, they noticed Ramuh and Emperor was there as well-
Kei: H-How did you two get up here?
Emperor: I flew up here.
Ramuh: Same.
Kei:...What about the Goddess?
Emperor: Nemesis took it down.
Kei: Not surprised.
"Hierarch, we have an issue. The Android swarm is being controlled by multiple control point systems. That ship that you are currently on top of right is one of them, the main control ship is heading down to you as we speak." -Karax spoke to Artanis-
"Does that mean that no matter what ship we destroy, the outcome will be the same?" - Artanis.
"Yes, Hierarch. The only way to stop the invaders is to destroy all of their capital ships and carriers." - Karax.
"I'll do what I can, Phase-Smith." - Artanis.
Kei: So...We gotta take them all out, huh?
Artanis: Indeed we do.
Emperor: That doesn't sound so tough. -As he said, the sight of multiple Steel Goddess Athenaea were seen floating down to the city as they were escorting the massive mothership-
Ramuh: You had to say it, huh?
-Multiple bright beams of light would hit the massive androids and destroy them in a single shot as the group of aliens would turn and look back as they saw the sight of a massive black portal and what came out of the portal happened to be a machine with large dark coloured wings-
Ramuh: H-Hold up a minute! I-It's a…
Kei: Mobile Suit..
-The sight of a Gundam was seen as it landed right next to Kei and the others as many other Mobile Suits were seen flying out of the portal as they would charge and attack the androids-
Ramuh: I don't care if they're mobile suits! It's the-
Yuuya: Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst! -He said as he teleported behind the guys from a portal-
Ramuh: Damn, he took my line.
Artanis: Friend Yuuya, what brings you here?
Yuuya: Karax contacted me and I made sure I brought a little reinforcements for you guys. -As he said, the sight of Gundam Exia and 00 Raiser were seen together as they would destroy a large number of Androids together- So, you guys want to know what's going on, huh?
Kei: Just a hunch.
Yuuya: Really? Because Shan ain't dead. He's still in the underworld, suffering as we speak.
Ramuh: Didn't you tell us this before?
Yuuya: I did, and I'm reminding you that Shan ain't dead, so with him still alive, the possibility of his "creations" may still exist. He is continuing to create new planets across the far regions of space and created massive mechanical swarms of machines to terrorise worlds. The Androids are one of the many machines that are out there.
Emperor: So there's more?
Yuuya: Oh? We got the Emperor of the Leviathan Brood, huh? Nice. But anyway, there are the Machine Beasts, Armoured Dragons and Armed Machines. These 3 factions are the next deadliest things to face if you guys ever come across them, because they were born from Shan's blood and mind, they too have the ability to travel through dimension and space, allowing them to willingly travel to anywhere and anytime at will. This is even more dangerous when Shan was still in control of his world.
Emperor: What do we do about it then?
Yuuya: You fight. -As he said, the Mobile Armour known as Agrissa would fly past the group and attack the ship they were standing on- Now I need to go, these Gundams are all in your hands. Control them as you see fit, I have other duties to fulfill. Best of luck to you all. -He said as he would head back into the portal and disappear as the others turned their attention to the massive mothership above them and would get on top of the Strike Freedom's back and head up to the massive carrier-
-As they reached up to the hangar bay of the massive mothership, multiple warp prism would enter the hanger bay and warp in a large group of Protoss and Xenomorph warriors to fight against the androids from within as the four males fought their way through to the bridge and engine of the mothership. Down below, back to Momo and her siblings. The sight of Momo, Nana and Lala were seen hiding inside their home as they were hiding inside of Lala's room while Rito was holding onto Celine-
Rito: Why must bad things happen to good people?!
Nana: You keep peeking at us when we're showering and you call yourself "good"?!
Rito: I slipped when I wanted to leave your towels, it's not my fault that I'm unlucky!
Momo: Lucky pervert would be the better term, Rito-san~
Rito: No! -The sound of the Androids' attack stopped as the girls would peek outside and saw the sight of a Zaku II along with a Gouf right outside of their house as the two Mobile Suits protected the house from the invaders-
Lala: Rito! Rito! Look! Robots!
Rito: Eh? What else is new?
-Up in space, the sight of the Strike Freedom Gundam was seen firing all of its weapons at one of the Android carriers as the many other Mobile Suits and Zerg and Protoss armies would fight back while back in the main control ship, the sight of Kei and his group were seen hiding behind cover as they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of androids ahead of them-
Ramuh: Too many! It's like "I, Robot" all over again!
Kei: Did you even watch it?
Ramuh: Yeah, it was entertaining but it wasn't great. I've seen better films made by Humans.
Kei: Oh yeah, name one.
Ramuh: K-Kamen Rider Den-O. -As he said, the door behind them exploded as the sight of a Xenomorph King and Queen were seen running towards the Androids as they were followed by a large group of Xenomorph Drones and Warriors- Oh damn!
Kei: Let's go. -He said as both he and the Yautja would follow behind the small alien horde and push towards the Bridge-
-Ramuh would stop half way and plug a small wire into a hole in the wall as it would then play the song "Tsubasa" by Eir Aoi as Ramuh would then continue forward-
"All of the promises we've made carry me
To my tomorrow on wings
I've held this one desire in my heart, a single wish but still
I cannot help but wonder now "Where do I go?"
Will I cling forever to the scars of past endeavors
Do these marks that I've been given help me grow in strength?
Still I remember that day
I watch you smile and wave but
Then soon your memory, it fades away, and
I try to hide my sorrow
As I embrace my wishes, I'm ready now!
While I race towards the future full of opportunity
I'll continue moving forward, never looking back
Though this world that we envisioned is but one we cannot find
I can still be courageous if I look inside
All of the promises we've made carry me
To my tomorrow on wings
Every time I promise that, no matter what, we'll be okay
My heart is full of doubt and I still hesitate
I know that I have to be strong, keep believing in what's right
And maybe you will hear me calling out someday
That time so long ago when
You took my hand in yours and
You helped me stand until I could on my own
Still dreaming of a day when
I can repay you for the kindness you've shown!
I will keep on blazing forward now until the daybreak's gone
With determination, I'll forge an unwinding path
Even though I've yet to find the answers deep within my soul
I know that I can make it through most any goal
A hopeful path awakens before my eyes
The road that leads me to dawn
As the road keeps winding on with no end in sight
Along the way, I'll meet new friends; hello and goodbye
I'll find all new strength on this quest as I follow the dream in my heart
While I race towards the future full of opportunity
I'll continue moving forward, never looking back
Though this world that we envisioned is but one we cannot find
I can still be courageous if I look inside
All of the promises we've made carry me
To my tomorrow on wings
As we spread our arms out wide and step forward without fear
We'll travel into the distance, not a single tear
There's no time that can be wasted, not a second to delay
As our aspirations touch the brilliant scenery
All of the promises we keep in our hearts
Will be our eternal wings"
-On the other end of the ship, the sight of the Protoss warriors and Zerglings were seen fighting together with a small group of Xenomorphs as they were heading straight for the Engine room as Artanis and Emperor followed behind their group of fighters-
Artanis: So it seems that friend Kei has a plan.
Emperor: The idea was to plant a virus into the main control system and let it take over the A.I and override the system, which will lead to an internal meltdown.
Artanis: So the virus will take control of the mothership's main control system and cause it to self-destruct from within?
Emperor: S-Sure, that works too.
-Within the passing moments, Kei and Ramuh breached through the bridge as Ramuh would then hack into the computer system and plant the virus into A.I.-
Kei: How are we looking?
Ramuh: Real good, it's like Tetris but with no music and just lots of explosions.
Kei: Then do it quick, because they're swarming. -He said as he would lock the main door as the Xenomorphs would block the door with their bodies while the blast door was being slammed from the outside by the androids aggressively- Are you about done?!
Ramuh: Yup! Just finished uploading the virus and a couple of songs!
Kei: Songs?
Ramuh: For our escape, it'll be more exciting. -As he said, the door exploded as the Androids came pouring into the bridge while the Xenomorphs fought back as the song "Resister" was heard as it was being played on the ship while the virus was going through the system and was eating the data from within as Kei and Ramuh would jump out of the windows of the bridge-
"In places where your voice doesn't reach
are distorted rules that no one taught
I strongly hoped for it when I was young
The journey to find my dreams' location has just begun
I need no time to mourn
Break down the limits right now
Strong memories wither, bright pride
Memory that does not change even if some pain is touched.
Because I will connect you with the probabilities that I chose with the eyes without clouds,
Keeping the oath that I extended my vision.
Let your voice resonate and resist destiny.
Proud of myself
Stop breathing forever as it is
I will not change, I will continue looking at the future that I do not want to live.
Picking up a heart full of hearts.
Jump straight to the sea of passion
Go to the outside of daydream
Break your limits
The pride I gave my weak I fulfilled.
Do not want to change even if it is swallowed by the waves of virtuosos!
Embracing ideals and embracing the hope found.
I'll tell you a smile that will not be seen tomorrow.
Pierce the destination until the voice arrives.
Holding a shaky shoulder and laughing
I will continue singing because you are here
Strong memories wither, bright pride
Memory that does not change even if some pain is touched.
Embracing the oaths that expanded the visibility and found them.
I will connect you with the path that I chose with the eyes without clouds
Echoing the voice to end adversity
Fight against destiny
Proud of myself"
-From the engine room, Artanis and the Emperor would blast a hole through the wall and make their exit with their soldiers as the engine room exploded and slowly the entire mothership began to explode and the computer would slowly self-destruct, causing many of the androids to shut down. Within the passing moments, all of the Android carriers and machines would self-destruct after their systems malfunctioned and shut down. After it was clear, everyone would leave the buildings to look outside to see that there were many other aliens around them that had protected the civilians from harm and the sight of Mikan could be seen running out of the school gym as she headed straight to the house. Upon running, the girl saw the sight of Kei and the others as she would run up to him with great speed and hugged the male tightly, causing him to fall onto his back-
Mikan: Kei-kun!
Kei: M-Mikan? What's wrong?
Mikan: Y-You're safe...I'm so glad you're safe..
Kei: -He smiled and patted the girl's head lightly- I'll always be fine.
"Hierarch. You are needed aboard. Jim Raynor wishes to speak to you." - Karax.
Artanis: I'm on my way, Karax. -As he said, he would turn his attention to his friends and shake all of their hands while Ramuh gave the Protoss leader a hug as Artanis said his farewell to everyone and returned back to the Spear of Adun-
Ramuh: So what about you? Are you going to stay? -He asked Emperor-
Emperor: I don't know, I kinda miss this planet. Besides, I won't be hunted and I won't be in war while I'm here anyway, so I guess I'll stay.
Ramuh: Yay! Welcome to the group, buddy! -He said as he and the Emperor shook hands together-
Mea: I'm a little hungry, how about lunch?
Yami: But what about those things? -She asked and looked up as she then noticed that all of the Mobile Suits were flying into a large portal in the sky- Never mind then.. -The song "Mr. Blue Sky" was heard as Ramuh would play the song as he along with Nemesis and the others would enter the home of the Yuukis and would have lunch together-
-THE END-
"[Intro]
"Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies."
[Verse 1]
The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining, everybody's in the play
And don't you know, it's a beautiful new day, hey
Running down the Avenue
[Panting]
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city, on the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
[Verse 2]
Hey, you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
[Bridge]
Mister Blue Sky
Mister Blue Sky
Mister Blue Sky
[Verse 3]
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there, Mr. Blue (Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)
Look around, see what you do (Blue)
Everybody smiles at you
[Harmonizing]
[Outro]
Please turn me over"
