Ask me about being the best dad ever.
Once you get Gogorr under 70%...


: Rgh…!
: Now! Go for his heart crystal!
: That’s a weak-spot found in all Skrugg! I learned of it when they turned me!
: I’m on it!
: Heromaaaan…ATTACK!



: Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
: Did we get him?!
: …
: Too bad, cattle.
: What?!
: That is no weak-spot of mine!









: He-HEROMAN!!



: Heroman! Hang in there, Heroman!
: …
: N-No… Heroman…!
: Foolish creatures. Did you take me to be the same as a common Skrugg?!
: But now I’ve repaid the humiliation that toy thrust upon me. All that remains is consuming this planet whole!

*RUUUMBLE!*

: Wh-What’s happening?!
(TV): We’ve an emergency! Gogorr’s draining massive amounts of energy from Earth’s mantle!
: If he’s not stopped, it’ll only take a few hours before we see a calamity on a global scale!
: What did you say?!
: I can no longer be stopped! Accept your doom and watch, powerless, as your planet approaches its doom!
: Just like that lump of garbage!
: !
: …
: Y-You overgrown cockroach… Say that again!
: …
: You… You killed Heroman!









: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
: Joey…?!
: …
: I feel it… all this power inside me…!
: There’s no way he’ll survive if I blow all this right on top of him…!
: Joey, are you…?!
: Stop! You can’t be considering throwing your life away to beat him!
: If it’ll let me protect your future, then, yeah, I will!
: Just… Just like my dad did before!
: Your lives are more important than mine!
: Joey! NOOO!









: (Goodbye, everyone…!)
: UWOOOOOOOOO!



: ! Heroman…?!

*Flash!*





: U…ooo…
: Why did you…?!
: Can’t you tell?! He doesn’t want to lose you!
: ?!
: You fricking idiot! You might’ve been happy to go out a big hero like dad, but…
: But what about everyone you’d be leaving behind?! What about your family?! How the hell are we supposed to take that?!
: You might save everyone by doing this, but there’d be nothing to be happy about in a world without you!
: Sis… guys…
: Remember what you said to me when I’d almost forgotten who I was? You’re not fighting this alone – all of us, your friends, are here with you!
: And above all… Heroman’s here with you, isn’t he?!
: Heroman…
: …
: And you can be a hero because you’ve Heroman and all your friends!
: Your dad never gave up, did he?! He kept going ‘til the very last second!
: He didn’t give up…
: Yeah… You’re right, he didn’t!
: Enough of this drama! Your lump of garbage hardly has any energy left! This next attack will put an end to both your sorry lives!



Heroman OST - Joey and Heroman
:siren: :siren:

: Nope! Heroes are indestructible!
: That’s... The MR-1?!
: Here you go, Joey, Heroman!
: Take in all of the MR-1’s energy!
: And have some of my spirit, too!
: Let thunder’s roar fill your ears!













: UWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
: I-Impossible… That’s—!
: You look surprised! But, of course, I doubt you’d understand!
: That capacity to get back up after being beaten, even stronger than you were before…!
: That’s the mark of a true hero!
: Hero… a true hero?!
: That’s all we can do here! The rest is in your hands, folks!



: Alright, I reckon everything’s set for a classic comeback!
: Last up is the cherry on top: make it like proper heroes and take down the evil boss! Joey, Heroman!
: Hmmm!
: We’ve been together since the beginning! And together is how we’ll win back our future!
: Heromaaan… GOOOOOO!


: What a horrible sound… Don’t you hear it? All the lives you consumed are crying…!
: Hm? I’m afraid I’ve no ears for the voices of garbage!
: Mine is the only voice that should resound through the universe! My voice as its ruler!
: I don’t think so! What the universe needs isn’t a ruler, but harmony between all life!









: Hmhmhm… Accept your defeat. Destruction is all that awaits any planet I set upon!
: This is not something you can stop. It’s the fate imposed upon the entire universe!
: You’re too quick to speak of “fate”.
: The destruction you bring isn’t strong enough to claim our lives!







: You have absolutely no idea how the Skrugg you ate felt, do you?
: Oh, I doubt I need to try and understand how the consumed feel – not when I’m always the one doing the consuming!
: Fine, then I’ll make you understand! I’ll hammer that feeling straight into your skull!









: You’re a menace not only to other race’s planets, but even to your own people…
: It’s because of monsters like you that war never goes away…!
: Hmhmhm, you wish for a world without war, hm?
: Then, sit still and I’ll give one to you: a world of eternal silence!













: You and The Boom Army all figure you can have your way with our planet, but I’m here to tell you that that’s not happening!
: I’m rather appalled that you would tar me with the same brush as those vermin. I am Gogorr, the ruler of the entire universe!
: Appalling is that scum like you and them ever got the idea that you’re better than everyone else!











: Consuming your own people in a bid for power… How can you still call yourself their leader?!
: All life in this universe is no different from cattle, to be grown and multiplied as necessary!
: And it’s the sole purpose of their existence to sustain me, the ruler of all cosmos!
: A being of such callous disregard towards life is not fit to rule the cosmos! I sentence you to oblivion, tyrant Gogorr!











: Noisy little gnat! I’ll add all your vital energy into my own!
: What a powerful, dark aura… He’s like an avatar of destruction…!
: And it’s my duty as a Holy Warrior to rid the world of this force of chaos!









: Gch… the cries of all the life he’s defiled are echoing all around him…
: His invasion and cruelty are both ending here, though! The Nanajin and I’ll see to it!
: Know your place, worm! You and your kind are no more than meat for me to devour!









: Did the thought of coexistence, of mutual understanding, with humans never cross your mind?!
: Bwahahahaha! Tell me, do you make a habit of having a heart-to-heart with a loaf of bread before you eat it?!
: There’ll never be any hope of change for the Skrugg while you continue to exist…!
: Gogorr… I’m putting an end to your reign!













: I’m sure the Skrugg and the creatures of this planet could find a way to coexist! How can you not see that, Gogorr?!
: Hmhmhm… Oh, dear, when you put it like that, I might just consider it.
: That is, I’ll consider it if “coexistence” is how you call it when I devour you, cattle!











: Ah, you pathetic cattle. Please, feel free to continue wasting your time trying to oppose me!
: Hah… If we’re cattle, I suppose that makes you the moronic ‘master’ who’s about to get his hand bit off.
: Excuse me…?
: You can yell that you’re the ruler of the universe ‘til the cows come home, we cattle don’t give a drat! It’s chomping time!









: Hahahah… Are you going to take revenge on me? After I went through the trouble of giving you that wonderful new body?
: For a very long time I knew nothing but seething hatred over you changing me like this…
: But now I’m actually a bit grateful! Because this body’ll let me protect Lina and my family from your menace!









: You’re always a problem, aren’t you, brat…?
: That’s my line! But you can come back as many times as you want, we’ll always be there to put a stop to you!
: Is that a fact…? Then come closer and feel in your bones a power far greater than I had before!












Gogorr drops a Kazuki Cake (Range and Skill +10, Accuracy +5).

: Curse you all! You… You’ll pay for this, you blasted cattle!



: It was your arrogance that sealed your doom, Gogorr!
: You really shoulda looked a bit closer before you decided to take a stab at Earth!
: If you did, you would’ve seen that we… that the strongest hero of all calls this planet home!
: Go, Joey, Heroman! It’s up to you to save our world!
: JOEY!

: A true hero never makes anyone sad. You, and all my friends, taught me that!
: I’m not going to choose what to save anymore! We have to protect everyone…!
: We have to protect everything!

: Uurgh… H-How?!
: I… I am the ruler of the universe… How can I die in this backwater planet?!
: Isn’t that a shame, Gogorr?
: When this all started, I thought you were looking to build a friendly relationship between our two species…
: Never in my wildest dreams did I think that message I picked up would lead to anything like this happening…
: I can still remember it now: “gather at the beginning…”
: …?!
: Th-That’s…!
: (Hm? Why do I feel like…?)
: (Like I have heard those words…)
: (Somewhere before…?)
: …
: What… What did you say…?
: That message… It wasn’t you who sent it to us…?
: Wh-What?!
: Professor, what the hell…?!
: N-No, that’s not possible! You remember, don’t you, Psy?!
: We all heard it together! That message came from outer space!
: Hah…Hahahah… This is hilarious…
: In other words, we were being manipulated from the very beginning…?
: All this time, we were puppets moving according to the will of an unseen puppeteer… Absolutely hilarious…!
: Hmhmhm… WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!



*BOOOOOM!*



: Gogorr…
: …
: (What does any of this mean? Those words were what I…)



: We’ve just received word from Hughes. It looks like everyone within the White House is safe and sound.
: Really? Ah, now that’s great to hear…
: Professor, I have to ask: since when have you been working on that guy’s MR-1?
: Hmhmhm… The NIA took it from Minami when they recaptured him, but they figured it could be useful in a pinch. So, they called and asked us to get it fixed.
: Though we sure didn’t expect to put it to use back there.
: And, from what the NIA says, they have no qualms with letting us continue to use the repaired MR-1.
: Then, we can now give Heroman an energy refill right during a fight?
: Yes, but it can only make one blast per battle. (Think of it like God Sigma’s Trinity Charge command, though it only appears on regular Heroman.)
: Wow, I can’t believe a weapon that harassed Heroman so much before would come in handy like that…
: I guess we owe a little bit of gratitude to that buffoon, Minami. A very little bit. Microscopic, even!
: Oh, and what did you say before the battle started, Joey? I couldn’t hear you over the explosions.
: Ah… No, that was…
: Hm?
: I think I remember… It was something like ‘I’ll protect you with my life’?
: Huh?!
: Z-Zhang Fei, please…!
: Ohoo… I didn’t take a late bloomer like you to have all that passion, Joey.
: Aw, come on, don’t start teasing me!
: …
: A hero, huh…?
: You really loved your father a lot, didn’t you, Holly?
: Wah! T-That’s…!
: Sis, dad didn’t choose other people over his family.
: …! You…
: And I’m sure he didn’t sacrifice himself just like that. He must’ve tried all the way to the end to get back to us.
: I understand that now…
: Joey…
: And I believe I understood something myself.
: What is it?
: How Joey and Heroman came to meet.
: It was Joey’s wish to become a hero that gave life to Heroman!
: That is to say, you were destined to meet each other!
: Say what? That’s not a very scientific thing to say, professor.
: Well, Prof. Denton is certainly a romantic. Perhaps a career as an artist would suit you better?
: Whuh?!
: Hahah, that’s our professor!
: Kheheh… Hahahaha!
: O-Oh, no… hahah...

And if you got the correct route flags and nabbed 200+ kills with Heroman by the end of the last mission:

: …

*Will starts heading out.*

: Hey, hey, where do you think you’re going, Will?
: …
: Don’t tell me you’re leaving again!
: You already have a hero by your side to keep you safe.
: You don’t need a creature of darkness like me.
: But you fought together with us back there – you helped keep Lina and everyone else safe.
: That makes you a hero too! It doesn’t matter how you look.
: I’m a hero…?
: And… you’re the only brother she has, aren’t you?
: …?!
: Can’t we just be together how we used to…?
: …
: I can’t promise you that.
: Brother!
: But I promise I’ll stay here with you at least until the battle’s over.
: I’ll work to be the biggest hero you can have!
: W-Will…! Thank you…
: (Thank goodness, Lina…)

And if you didn’t get the secret, Will just takes off and the scene proceeds like this:

: W-Will, wait…!
: Maybe it’s best to leave him be for now. He needs to put his thoughts in order.
: Let’s believe in him, Lina. I’m sure he’ll come back someday.
: He is the biggest hero you have, after all…
: …
: Yes…
: (I’ll be waiting for you, brother… For as long as you need…)



Location: New York – Rubens Foundation HQ

: Mr. Rubens, we’ve received a call from the White House.
: It appears all of the Executive’s staff, including the president, have already returned to office.
: Good. Have the backup plan scrapped and resume our regular operations.
: Yes, sir!
: “Backup plan”?
: Just a precaution in case anything happened to the president…
: You see, I was considering asking that you run for president of the Earth Federation, Rep. Athha…
: Wh-What…?!
: But it seems the event at Washington was dealt with without any troubles. Please, forget I ever said anything.
: …
: Mr. Rubens… may I ask the purpose of this meeting?
: All of the people assembled here share a past record of not only opposing the reform of the Federation Army to establish the Army of Mankind…
: But of, also, making a significant effort to have the Federation Government accept the UX as an active force.
: …
: …
: Thus, I’ve seen that we are like-minded individuals, and that you can be trusted with the truth.
: The “truth”…?
: The fact that we, mankind, are currently on the brink of destruction.
: Wh-What did you say?!
: As you are well aware, the Earth Sphere is currently facing an unprecedented crisis due to the siege by the ELS, Vajra and Festum.
: However, those are not the only enemies of our kind.
: What do you mean?
: …
: Lady Aila, I’ve been told that you possess the ability to see people’s thoughts and to catch glimpses of the future.
: …
: You have seen the truth I speak of, haven’t you?
: …
: This man is telling us no lies…
: I have had visions of a blood-red moon… and a powerful will emerging from it…
: Lady Aila…
: And what is that “powerful will”…?

*Door opens.*

: It’s the being that will bring about the destruction of mankind…
: …?!
: Y-You’re…!
: The chairwoman of the PLANTs Supreme Council… Lacus Clyne!
: …
: Even you came here…?
: Yes… So that we may confront our fate together…



: Master Kongming, you said you had something to talk to us about?
: Aye, it’s about the message Prof. Denton and Gogorr mentioned.
: That’s…!
: Hm, the ‘gather at the beginning’ message.
: I was wondering if you wouldn’t recall hearing those words as well.
: “As well”…?
: Ensign Berge, the truth is that…
: Every single person gathered here has heard the exact same message.
: Though I only have a very faint recollection of it…
: But we managed to remember that little bit after Denton and Gogorr mentioned it.
: …
: The people of the Frontier Fleet, the Mirishans, Princess Romina, Shou…
: What do all those have in common…?
: Madam Saya, would you, perhaps, also have knowledge of this message?
: Huh? M-Me…?
: I understand that, considering you were still asleep at that point, you may have no recollection of the time prior to arriving in this era with Maj. Richard.
: However, I think it safe to assume that you have also heard those words before.
: Are you implying that…!
: Hmhmm. Those words were heard by everyone who crossed space and time and wound up in this world.
: A-All those who crossed space and time…
: I understand… That’s why I heard it back then…
: I’d also crossed space and time when I was warped to where the nuke was projected to be…
: Parallel universes, trans-galactic warps, and time travel…
: All those who traveled through space and time heard that voice and, ultimately, arrived here. Which would mean…
: That what we deemed to be a chance meeting was, in actuality, quite the opposite.
: The voice I heard at that time…
: It was someone purposefully beckoning us to this world…?
: But who is the one behind it, Kongming?! For what purpose were we all gathered here…?!
: That is a question we have yet to answer.
: Still, while our vision remains dim, we have finally caught a glimpse of the center of the spider web encircling this world…
: The center of the spider web…



: …
: What’re you up to, eh? Why’d you call for me…?
: Katou’s plan is being a bit of a problem for my own, you see.
: And I’ve decided that needs to stop. That’s all there is to this.
: Hah, and you wanna ask me to help you with that?
: Hardly. I’m just going to give you what you’ve wanted for so long.
: What I’ve wanted…?
: Hmhmhmhm…
: Come closer and I’ll tell you… where you can find the last Machina…
: …?!
: Y-You…!
: …
