History Recap / SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration

Unknown to the humans of Earth, there lies another world [[BeneathTheEarth beneath the surface of the planet]]: "La Gias" - a world that developed differently than the surface with the help of the Elemental Spirits guarding its surroundings, a place where [[{{Magitek}} magic and technology have been incorporated into one]] for all aspects of life. The story begins when Japanese teenager [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh]] is mysteriously summoned to La Gias and ends up embroiled in La Gias politics, siding with the peaceful [[Characters/MasouKishin Kingdom of Langran]], even showcasing his skills with piloting an "[[AMechByAnyOtherName Elemental Machine]]". Without a way to return to the surface, Masaki accepts the offer to make La Gias his permanent home, adopted by "[[RedBaron Sword Saint]]" [[Characters/MasouKishin Zeoroot zan Zenosakis]]. At the same time, he discovers he is not the only "surface dweller" to have made their way into La Gias: [[Characters/MasouKishin the Finnish Tytti Noorbuck, Chinese Hwang Yang Long and Brazilian Ricardo Silvera]] were also summoned like Masaki was. Despite being a new resident of Langran, he is quickly introduced to the royal family, such as [[Characters/MasouKishin Prince Feilord Grania Bilseia and his twin sisters Princess Xenia and Monica]], including Elemental Machine designer, [[Characters/MasouKishin Wendy Rasm Iknart]].\\\

Months after the invasion of the Shura, resulting in the "Shura Rebellion", Ryusei is testing the ART-1 at the Tesla Leict Institute. Sortied into a sparring match with Kyosuke in the Alt Eisen Reise, both pilots are mysteriously transported by a portal in the middle of the fight. Stranded in an unknown world, they encounter hostile forces, only to be saved by the ''Ark Alpha'' battleship, commanded by an [[ArtificialHuman android]] named "Autumn Four", who generated the portal with her ship and requests their assistance in protecting it. Left with no choice, Ryusei and Kyosuke collaborate with Autumn as they journey through the deserted world of "Eria". In a twist, Masaki also arrives on Eria with the Cybuster, having entered a similar portal on his way back home to La Gias, and allies with his old comrades. Furthermore, [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam other]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny people]] [[Anime/MacrossFrontier from]] [[Anime/SuperDimensionCenturyOrguss multiple]] [[Anime/GenesisOfAquarion dimensions]] [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic make]] [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam their]] [[Anime/CodeGeass way]] [[Anime/MacrossZero to]] Eria, having been thrown into the portals erupting from their worlds and join the ''Ark Alpha''.\\\

Jua-Mu was promoted into a full-fledged Knight as a result, with Fu-Lu explaining that as a Knight, using the Larseillum is a taboo. He then used the time when the Steel Dragon Battle Group was defending from Lamalice attack to mount his assault, blaming Calvina for Al-Van's demotion and specifically targeted her Bellzelute while ordering the rest of his knights to seize Granteed, like usual. Little did he know that Calvina has been specifically training to counter Al-Van, and the less experienced Jua-Mu was no match for her, made worse with him insulting the memories of the people of Ash'ari Kreutzer which riled up Calvina even more. His lack of experience caused him to panic and activated Larseillum to save his life. While he managed to greatly ruin Bellzelute and wounded Calvina, Jua-Mu retreated in panic of breaking the taboo, enabling the more keen members of the Steel Dragon Battle Group (such as Ratsel and Guilliam) to deduce on why they didn't even use Larseillum again since the first time. Calvina was sent to the med bay and the Bellzelute was rendered unusable, but Guilliam noted that there is a chance to restore it. Meanwhile, Jua-Mu's taboo-breaking act reached the ears of Gu-Landon and regardless of the reasoning, Gu-Landon handed out the punishment to strip Jua-Mu's recent knighthood once again and demoted him to Administrator/spy duties.\\\

In the meantime, the brother unit of the stolen Wildfalken, Wildwuerger, is completed and delivered to Arado. But on the other hand, he witnessed not only Ouka now having her own menacing mecha, Rapiecage, there was one nasty child who claimed to have been cloned by him, one of the Machinery Children, Thurisuz Egret. On the bright side, though, Arado noted one thing that could be his key to saving and protecting Seolla: Somehow despite her insistence that they have never met, she kept getting mad whenever he made a GagBoobs joke on her expense, hinting that their memories weren't completely wiped out, it was still buried deep within her.\\\

Once the crisis was solved (after a very long trek), Sanger was able to return to the OG-verse using the datas that sent Axel, Alfimi and Kouta to the OG Verse last time. Unable to properly use the transporter, Aschen uses Code DTD, punches it, and accidentally extends the radius of the transported area to 1200% This causes Haken and Aschen to be brought with Sanger to the OG Verse. There would be another crisis, but he, Haken and Kaguya were not involved in it.

During the off-time after the battle against Euzzeth Gozzo, Sanger Zonvolt encountered the Lamalice under Debudabide once again. While battling it, he ended up being thrown into the ''Endless Frontier'' just like Axel and Alfimi, where he met both Haken Browning and Kaguya Nanbu. Things spiral out of control where first the demon known as [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah Dohma]] antagonize the three, and then followed with a series of crisis [[{{Crossover}} involving various worlds]] even beyond the Endless Frontier-verse. Fortunately for Sanger, Kaguya used her spiritual power to materialize his mecha's weapon, the Colossal Blade, into a still-humongous human-sized weapon that Sanger could wield on foot and with his Dygenguard using Direct-Motion control, replicating its moves never become an issue thus he could still go around smiting evils during the whole crisis.\\\

Once the crisis was solved (through a very long trek), Sanger was able to return to the OG-verse using the datas that sent Axel, Alfimi and Kouta to the OG Verse last time. Unable to properly use the transporter, Aschen uses Code DTD, punches it and accidentally extends the radius of the transported area to 1200%, accidentally bringing Haken and Aschen with Sanger, to the OG Verse. There would be another crisis, but he, Haken and Kaguya were not involved.

Gathering the crews of Kurogane, Hagane and Hiryu Custom, as well as Masaki Andoh and Ryune Zoldark, as well as Kouta himself, these crews headed to Hellgate Facility itself, where the Bartolls surround them, and they realized that they were able to copy the piloting skills of those grafted to their cores. The Bartolls containing Kusuha, Arado, Seolla and Latooni also resurfaced, but thankfully, everyone managed to bring them back to their senses. And bringing them onboard and hoping to stop the whole Bartolls. However, they had to hurry, the Terra Federation Forces declared that the Facility was deemed too dangerous and had to be destroyed with a nuke.\\\

As they arrived to the inside and reaching to the core and even more Bartolls, a Bartoll containing Lamia was deployed where she was united with the ODE core, carrying the will of Juergen to unite everyone in order to prevent tragedies that he suffered, chiefly how he lost his family against the Aerogaters. Regardless of that, Kyosuke still resolved to fulfill his promise in the back, as Lamia's personality was being devoured, he has to deliver the killing blow. However, Lamia still managed to resist the brainwashing, giving Kyosuke an opening to pull her out of the cockpit with Alt Eisen Riese's Revolving Stake.\\\

But at that point, Kyosuke let his guard down. A blast was shot on his hand that held Lamia, dropping her into space. In a complete shock, Kyosuke fell into grief as he thought he let Lamia die, as Juergen emerged with the Valsion Custom CF he stole from Lorenzo. At this point, the Terra Federation Force was still mourning at Lamia's demise and ended up brushing off Juergen's reasoning as merely 'running away from his pain', they demand vengeance on their fallen friend. With tears in most of their faces, they struck at him. But at his last breathes, someone stated that Juergen has fulfilled his role and he was eliminated by that someone. That someone was familiar to Raul Gureden, Duminuss. After eliminating Juergen and introducing its three Homunculus, Tiz, Despinis and Laliar, the Terra Federation Forces were forced to retreat as the promised nuke was approaching fast. They had no time to scavenge the facility for Lamia's remains, they had to escape.\\\

Meanwhile, from the political side, as the Terra Federation did not seem to make good progress against the Inspectors, Graien Grusman ended up launching a successful coup against President Midcrid. Replacing the "Aegis Shield" plan, he proposed the "Scythe of Harpe", which took on a more offensive approach, and one of them is to retake the Earth Cradle.\\\

At this point, the Shirogane returned, until Lee suddenly declared his defection towards the Neo DC. The Federation forces were about to retaliate until suddenly Lamia threatened to destroy the Hagane and Hiryu Custom if they do not surrender and join the Shadow-Mirror, who have already arrived from their inter-dimensional jump from their world into this one, moonlighting as an additional battalion of the Neo DC. [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Vindel Mauser]], leader of the Shadow-Mirror, explains their organization's goals for continuous improvement for humanity through war. When rebuked by ''Hagane'' [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Captain Daitetsu Minase]], Lamia, [[BecomingTheMask having blended with the crews long enough]], [[HeroicSacrifice chooses to sacrifice herself by detonating the Angelg to destroy Vindel and the Shadow-Mirror]].\\\

During Lemon Browning's evacuation of the W Series, she designated a different place to transport the W-Numbers from 00 to 10 than the ones she, Axel and the rest of the W Numbers used to escape with Vindel. This is a personal operation she dubbed 'Operation Endless Frontier', in attempt to find a new world 'so close yet so far away'. The ship she used is dubbed 'Mia Tierra'.\\\

Shouko, in her captivity, however, ended up bonding with that Shura warrior, who introduced himself as Folka Albark.

Behind the scenes, Alkaid has already struck a deal with Duminuss, hence why he had Folka capture Shouko as Duminuss required her. His chosen liaison/advisor for this was Mizal Touval, who actually was planning something more self-serving, but as long as it doesn't interfere with his plans for the 'Shura Rebellion', Alkaid never minded. Additionally, the nuclear strike proved futile as with quick succession, Duminuss restored the Hellgate Facility and turned it into her home base of operation in this dimension.

It was at this time Axel returned to the battlefield with the repaired Soulgain, to repay his debt of bringing back to health, he defended the facility. And suddenly, Alfimi reappeared, stating that it was their merging that kept them bound in the world. Shu Shirakawa also mysteriously dropped by on the Cry Wolves' side, forcing Tiz to retreat, but the Jetzt managed to slip by. Alfimi then asked Axel to help her hunt down the Jetzt, as well as refreshing his past exploits and memories about the Inspector Wars. Axel tagged along anyway, feeling more interested in seeing just what the 'world thrown to chaos' is like.

!Surprise Reveals

Meanwhile, the SRX Team is planning to devise a combination attack for both R-1 and the newly constructed ART-1, with its chosen pilots Ryusei and Mai. They asked Latooni for help, but Latooni was doubtful because she saw this as her on the losing part of the LoveTriangle between her, Ryusei and Mai. Regardless, the testing went on without her input, but not only they found trouble in executing it, Neo DC remnants under Murata ambushed her. Thankfully Latooni decided to put aside her feelings and delivered her instructions to let Ryusei and Mai succeed and they drived away Murata thanks to the arrival of the Hiryuu Custom. But just as they drove away Murata, the Bartolls return along with a Valsion Custom CF. And on fighting them, the crews were shocked to see that Lamia was still alive, but she has been distorted beyond reason, now telling Kyosuke to just wallow in despair that he failed to rescue her and fulfill his promise, and the one who controlled her now has complete control over her, including telling her to blow herself up without fail. While the Terra Federation Forces never realized this for now, the manipulator was none other than Duminuss, who recovered her after Juergen left her for the dead and put her under the care of one of the Homunculus, Despinis.\\\

Regardless, the clash between Compatible Kaiser and G-Thunder Gate, however, surprisingly opened another wormhole, and much to Raul's surprise and relief, another Excellence came out from there. Fiona Gureden was barely clinging to life but still savable, since this was exactly the spot where Raul made the first jump. And just around this time, Axel and Alfimi arrived, and for some reason they decided to help out the three heroes, this buys enough time for the Hiryuu Custom and Hagane to arrive at the field and Raul hurried to them to give Fiona a chance to recover. While the Terra Federation Forces were skeptical at Axel's assistance at first, Kyosuke instead chose to trust his gut feeling and think he's not planning something bad.\\\

In the same time, on learning that G-Thunder Gate has been acting up weird, the Homunculus retreated, and in their place, the Bartolls and Lamia arrive. At this point, Axel realized that Kyosuke being plunged into despair with this would escalate into a big disaster and he would become another world-ravaging monster like Beowulf. Because of this, Axel fought for the Terra Federation Forces under the reason that he still wants to preserve Lemon's treasure. Unfortunately, everything reached into a climax where Lamia, under Duminuss' influence, threatens to activate her self-destruct method, Code: ATA, to kill herself in front of Kyosuke and permanently destroy his and Excellen's morale. However, Axel simply counters that he knows a reset method that overrode that, Code: DTD, a method installed in both Lamia and her predecessor W-07 (Aschen Brodel). With that, Axel activated the reset, plugged Lamia out of the Bartoll before she could be further influenced, and told her not to forget that she's now Lamia Loveless, not just W-17. After handing her to a much more relieved Kyosuke, Axel and Alfimi departed, but Kyosuke told him he owe him a great debt.\\\

Unfortunately for Raul, the moment he came back, he learned that someone kidnapped both his assistants Raji Montoya and Mizuho Saiki, which turned out to be Duminuss. However, thankfully, not only Lamia has been restored as if nothing has happened, Fiona also made a quick recovery in which they discovered what Raji and Mizuho left behind before kidnapping: The upgrades of their Excellences, Lightning and Eternal. In the same time, Duminuss threatened Raji and Mizuho's lives unless they make a new Time Flow Engine, and Raji showed a colder side of his personality, preferring to build a new Time Flow Engine to save his own hide, shocking Mizuho. Despinis was ordered to observe them, but she ended up learning more about purpose of living in case her creator died from both Raji and Mizuho's similar pasts and losses of their parental figures.

With both Lamia and Fiona rejoining their ranks, only the last dagger remained and Roar already briefed about just who's behind this whole mess, it's practically linked heavily with him. Unfortunately they're in for a tough fight, because the final Dagger is guarded by Folka's more powerful big brother, Altis Tarl, and he has the intention to fulfill his duty as the strongest Shura General to eliminate the traitor. In addition, the G-Thunder Gate was also spotted, but this time, with the encouragement of his friends, Kouta can shed his doubts and ended up talking some sense of Shouko, releasing her from brainwashing and combining their mechas into G Compatible Kaiser, while Altis recognized the Terra Federation Force's strength after battle and retreated, and the final Dagger is obtained. But before they could activate the Daggers, there was a disturbing distress call.\\\

As it turned out, the Cry Wolves were on a losing battle against the Jetzt, and as a result, Foglia died taking an attack meant for Albero and Hugo was fatally wounded in a separate attack. It was only at the sudden appearance of both Axel and Alfimi that Albero managed to escape with Hugo. The Terra Federation Force arrived and also witnessed the same Youkijin appearing. Regardless, the team was glad to see Axel again and Lamia was able to thank Axel for saving him, but he just left. Again. The crews finally activated the Swordian Daggers to enter the Fortress...\\\

In the meantime, Mizal managed to decipher the meaning behind the inner sanctum of the Swordian Fortress and discussed it with Duminuss. He mentioned about 'Darkness Wisdom' but then got startled as Duminuss started blabbering madly at herself, and entering a very narrow line of sight in trying to make haste for the Swordian Fortress to finally meet her creator and learn her purpose of existence.

!Assault on Swordian

On returning to their dimension, Folka decided to leave and wander through the dimensions in search of his Shura brethrens, Axel and Alfimi, unsure of what to do, decided to wander the universe to find out their purpose, while Masaki, with Shu dead, opted to return to his home realm La Gias. Raul and Fiona decided to destroy the Time Flow Engine and their current Excellence units as they realized that it was a dangerous engine that attracted something like Dark Brain who wanted to use it for his own ends. They opened a rescue service company called 'L&E Corporation' as well as adopting Despinis into their family. On the other hand, Albero attempted to track Mitarl Zapad, the one whom he held responsible for the low quality of the custom Gespenst that caused the death of his son, but didn't find anything. Dejected, he left Hugo in Eric Wong's care, where he would end up undergoing cyborgification to save his life, while Albero [[StartOfDarkness quitted the military in order to 'take responsibility'.]]\\\

Even so, life would turn out normal for the heroes as of now... until the next time their strengths are needed.

6 months have passed since the end of the Shura Rebellion, and the ''Hagane''-''Hiryu Custom'' team is renamed the "Steel Dragon Battle Group". During this time, rumours of a build-up of military activity and weapons development at Aidoneus Island, former headquarters of the Divine Crusaders, is abound, generating suspicion among the populace. On a stormy night in the Pacific Ocean, a lone unit is fleeing Aidoneus Island, chased by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Duvan Org]] and his "sister" [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Ariel Org]]. Demanding the rogue pilot to surrender, Duvan captures the unit with his colossal Alles Geist, only for the pilot to self-destruct his machine.\\\

Depending on the prowess of the battle, Ariel could have succeeded in saving Duvan's consciousness as he joined the assault against XN-L/Zan-L. If that was the case, both of them opted to enter a cryogenic sleep, otherwise Ariel did so on her own. Kouta also noted that Skull Knight hasn't been seen ever since, but since he was part of the member of the Dark Brain cult and made it clear that [[EnemyMine his help was just temporary]], he resolved to just ready himself to counter him in case he stirred up trouble again. And the destruction of that one Cross Gate means that not only Haken and Aschen [[TrappedInAnotherWorld lost contact to the Endless Frontier]], Masaki also ran to the same problem with La Gias and would have no other power source for the Cybuster until another Cross Gate is found, but even that runs the risk of the negative energies corrupting him.\\\

Behind the scenes, Alkaid has already struck a deal with Duminuss, hence why he had Folka capture Shouko as Duminuss required her. His chosen liaison/advisor for this was Mizal Touval, who actually was planning something more self-serving, but as long as it doesn't interfere with his plans for the 'Shura Rebellion', Alkaid never minded.

Eventually, Hellruga finally made his move. After revealing the Rubble Pile, he gathered all of the Gardisordians and the Gleiknr forces to attack the Steel Dragon Battle Group. But with new allies, they were no match for them, and Hellruga's ambition to rule over Gardisord and Earth were crushed, although the usually honorable Vaught ended up being a casualty of war. Fairey, Sieg and Sally were looking forward to enact reforms as planned by Malm Quisidi. But all of the sudden, the Fury's mothership, Gau-La Fury, made its appearance and shot down Rubble Pile, destroying every of Gardisordians, leaving Fairey, Sieg and Sally the [[LastOfHisKind last of their kinds.]]\\\
