A foreigner's journey

Garage No. 4 is located on the southeast side of the exclusive hangar of the Second Special Vehicle Division of the Security Department. It was originally a 'utility room' used to store spare mechanical parts and other items.

Heather, who was already able to walk, stood at the door of Gnaku No. 4, listening to the tinkling sound of metal knocking coming from inside.

In this new era, humans have created operable robots to replace them in some dangerous and arduous tasks. These robots were initially only used in the field of engineering and construction, and later gradually expanded to medical rescue, firefighting, security patrols, agriculture, luxury collection and other fields.

Because of the powerful power of robots, some criminals are ready to take risks by driving robots. Therefore, the police force, as one of the national tools, will naturally have corresponding institutions to deal with the occurrence of robot incidents.

In the unstable situation of this extremely special era, the Japan Police Department's Security Department decided to establish a new department - Special Vehicles Section 2 (Special Vehicles Section 2) to specifically combat robot-related criminal cases. This patrol-labor (patrol police robot) dedicated to the police force is called Patlabor.

Considering that some criminals drive small mechas to commit crimes, some criminals also hide high-risk weapons in their bodies. Therefore, a while ago, the Second Special Vehicle Division specially applied to the Photon Force Research Institute in Mount Fuji for a batch of prison pods specially made of Super Alloy Z to detain those special criminals.

Sayaka Yumi came to Nubel Tokyo this time. On the one hand, she wanted to celebrate the complete completion of Nubel Tokyo with her friends Izumino Akira and others who had fought side by side. On the other hand, she brought a super gift donated by the Photon Force Research Institute. Alloy Z prison cell.

Unexpectedly, the Super Alloy Z prison capsule started to work as soon as it was delivered.

Someone noticed Heather at the door of Gnaku No. 4 and came over: "Kid, what are you doing here?"

Heather looked at the person who came. He was an old man wearing wide sunglasses and maintenance work clothes stained with engine oil.

"My name is Heather. Mr. Goto said that my body is in this No. 4 Gnaku."

Heather said with a straight face: "You'd better not take it down."

"Haha! You are that CRYBABY. You are just like those little girls said, you look really extraordinary! I am Seitaro Sakaki, the squad leader of the second maintenance class of the special vehicle vehicle section of the Metropolitan Police Security Department. That small mecha of yours is Inside Gnaku No. 4, come with me, boy.”

Sakaki Seitaro waved to Heather and then walked towards Gnaku, and Heather followed.

No. 4 Gnakuli is undergoing drastic renovations at this time. A large number of maintenance LABOR (robots) are carrying steel and performing welding work under the control of maintenance team members. Sparks like rain are constantly falling from the top of the beam. Spill.

"As you can see, the twenty Super Alloy Z prison capsules donated by the Photon Force Research Institute are undergoing final assembly work. It really solves an urgent need. I thought that after experiencing the earth-shattering incident of Dr. Hell, it was just an ordinary little thing. The thieves will restrain themselves, but unexpectedly they will get worse."

Sakaki Seitaro led Heather to walk in the Gnaku, occasionally pulling the latter to avoid the engineering-type LABOR carrying steel, and explained:

"With these government-approved Super Alloy Z prison cells, the Second Special Vehicle Division has the authority to temporarily detain criminals and related machines. They no longer have to beg their grandfather and grandma to apply for government transport aircraft overnight after catching the criminals. They ship away.”

"The maintenance class of the Special Vehicle Class II is unexpectedly large." Heather looked around and saw that there were six engineering-type LABORs alone, as well as three medical-assistance type units and several special transport trucks capable of transporting large aircraft. There were more than seventy members of the maintenance team running back and forth.

"Since it is a specialized department specially approved by the government to deal with robot crimes, it is natural that there must be enough logistics organizations to match this name. Originally this was the Qingshui Yamen known as the 'Place of Exile'. It was so poor that it even had to rely on food to eat. We fished by ourselves at the beach.

But during the invasion of Doctor Hell's Legion half a year ago, Izumi and Ohta piloted Ingram to bravely fight against those terrifying mechanical beasts in order to protect Nubel Tokyo, which was about to be completed.

We finally won the victory, and the Second Special Vehicle Division became a hero in the hearts of the people. In order to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good public image, the Ministry of Security significantly expanded the base of the Second Special Vehicle Division and allocated a large budget.

Thanks to Izumi and Ohta, the Second Special Vehicle Division has expanded from the pitiful single Gnaku to today's No. 4 Gnaku, and the base has also expanded five times. The lunch lunch has even become an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is really gratifying...ah, here we are. "

While talking, the two came to the northwest corner of Gnaku No. 4.

There are many replaced airframe parts stacked here, most of which are from Ingram No. 2. Each part has been labeled and ready to be transported back to Ingram's developer in batches, Japan's most famous LABOR heavy industry design manufacturer - Shinohara Heavy Industries.

In addition, there were two newer medical rescue LABORs lying quietly in the corner. Their bodies were covered with horrific claw marks, and the cockpit and head detectors on their chests were torn to pieces.

Needless to say, this must be the work of the berserker armor.

Seitaro Sakaki pointed to the far end of the northwest corner: "Here, your precious mecha is right there."

At the end of the corner is a small cabin that is very petite compared to other prison cabins, about three meters high and shaped like a square. The prison cabin is made of silver-white unknown metal. It can be seen that the overall structure adheres to the idea of ​​using as few rivets and bolts as possible.

"Specialized Super Alloy Z prison cabin used to imprison small mechas and special prisoners."

Sakaki Seitaro handed a password card to Heather:

"Since Nagumo and Goto, the two captains of the first team and the second team, have agreed, then I, an old guy, don't have to stop me anymore. The security lock has been opened. Use the code card to swipe the middle code door can."

Heather stepped forward and opened the coded door, revealing the interior of the prison cabin.

The berserker armor stood quietly in the center of the prison cabin with its head down and down. You could see many shallow claw marks inside the cabin. It was obvious that the berserker armor was making a lot of noise inside but couldn't get out.

Can't even break out of the prison capsule made by Super Alloy Z with the berserker armor?

Heather stepped forward and carefully inspected the berserker armor, and found that there were a large number of burn marks on its body. It must have been burnt black when it broke through the atmosphere with it. Its overall shape has become more ferocious than usual, with scarlet cracks appearing at its eyes, its forehead armor extending from the forehead corners on both sides to the front with small sharp corners, and its face having jagged mouth cracks.

There are sharp protrusions on the shoulders, elbows, and knees, and the hands and feet have also turned into sharp toe claws. There are four jet-like devices on the back.

The overall shape is like a metal demon.

Heather stood on tiptoes and reached out to touch the chest of the berserker armor. She found that her speed of retracting and releasing the berserker armor had slowed down significantly. What could have been done in an instant now took at least two seconds to complete.

After two repeated trials, even if I wear the berserker armor with my child's body, there will be no difficulty in operation. The berserker armor still looks like a two-meter-tall metal demon.

And Heather was surprised to find that when she entered the berserker armor, the energy that had been suppressed in her body could be used.

I see... Rules, this is the peculiarity of the level 9 world.

This world is a comprehensive world where multiple Super Robot works are mixed together, just like the Super Robot Wars series that Heather likes to play. This kind of world will inevitably devote a huge amount of resources to the characteristic of "super robot". It can even be said that the entire universe exists because of this characteristic.

Super robots are the very existence of this world.

After outsiders enter this world, their own power will be greatly suppressed. If the world view allows it (such as magic machine gods, knight magic, etc.), they may be able to use magic or something, but if it is a low-magic or even non-magic world view, Then you must follow the rule of 'human beings drive/operate robots to fight'.

When you enter my world, you must play according to my rules.

In order to be recognized as a 'super robot', the machine in Super Robot Wars must have attributes such as 'machine name - body shape - adaptability - mobility - HP - EN - armor value - mobility - aiming value - weapon'.

My berserker armor has most of the attributes except EN, and after I entered the berserker armor, I was regarded as 'EN', which is the energy source.

In this way, the Berserker Armor is equivalent to a certified and registered 'super robot' in this world.

However, the name Berserker Armor can no longer be used for the time being, and must be replaced by a name more like a super robot.

While Heather was thinking in the berserker armor, she suddenly felt a familiar power inside the armor.

In the prison cabin, the berserker's armor buzzed and his scarlet eyes lit up, and he looked down at the open palm of his right hand.

Lying quietly in the palm of his hand was a bullet stained with blood.

It was a fragment of the Demon of the Gun... She tore off her palm at the last moment and sent me out. The remaining parts of the body turned into fragments of the Demon and were preserved by the berserker armor.

Heather gently held her right hand and let the bullet blend into the armor.

Soon, huge folded gun bodies grew out of the shoulders on both sides of the Berserker's armor, which looked like two underdeveloped wings from a distance. The two sharp horns on the forehead turned into large sharp blades, and four bone spur-like protrusions grew from top to bottom on the spine behind him.

The berserker armor can accommodate other weapons and even energy systems and transform itself, just like the [Fire Giant Mode] (MODE-SURTR) and [Beast Difficulty Mode] (MODE-KURAMA) used before.

Now, the berserker armor and the demon fragment of the gun are fused to create a new mode.

[Gun Demon Mode] (MODE-WERKBAN)!

Outside the prison cabin, Sakaki Seitaro frowned slightly.

After the child entered the berserker armor, the mecha began to undergo drastic changes, and its appearance became more and more ferocious.

To be honest, Sakaki Seitaro is not the type who likes to judge people by their appearance, but the appearance of the Gun Demon God at this time really has nothing to do with such praiseworthy words as 'justice', 'friendship', 'hot blood' and 'protagonist'.

After changing its shape, the berserker armor lowered its head and arms, hunched its back slightly, and fell into a downtime state.

"Can you...can you hear me? Heather?" Seitaro Sakaki tried to communicate with Heather.

What's the most dangerous time for a machine equipped with super AI and learning functions - to go berserk!

The terrible destruction caused by Ingram Zero's rampage still makes Seitaro Sakaki feel lingering in his heart. If this happens again, he will probably be expelled from the Special Vehicle Class II.

While asking questions, Seitaro Sakaki put his hand into his pants pocket and quickly pressed the number button on the communicator.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sakaki Seitaro pressed the three number buttons, the berserker armor opposite him suddenly raised his head, looking at him with a pair of scarlet cracked eyes.

"There is no need to contact Miss Izumi and Miss Sayaka, we are awake."

Heather's voice came from the berserker armor, which was not only dull but also had a little echo.

Sweat slowly fell from Sakaki Seitaro's forehead: "Are you okay? I see that the appearance of the berserker armor has changed a lot——"

"God of Guns!"

"……well?"

"From now on, the name of this mecha is [WERKBAN]!"

Just when Heather determined the final name for the form of the Berserker Armor, just like in the Holy Grail War world, he saw the [physical performance] unique to the Gun Demon God through the Foreign Fire.

Body: Gun Demon

Body type: XXS

Adaptation: air B land A sea B space B

Type: land

Move: 6

HP: 3200

EN: 300

Armor value: 1300

Sportiness: 175

Sight value: 175

Special abilities: EN recovery (small), gun protection

Battle BGM: "LOST CHILDREN"

Weapon performance:

‘Fighting’/2300/1/+10/+5/——/——

Heather has played quite a few Super Robot Wars series and has a certain understanding of the machine performance data. He couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the performance of the Gun Demon God's machine.

Size XXS is the minimum size, which means the damage caused to large enemies is greatly reduced. HP and armor are surprisingly low. Movement and sighting values ​​maintain normal levels for a small machine. EN is himself, 300 is neither too much nor too little.

The EN recovery of special abilities is small because one's own Qi has the effect of rapid self-replenishment.

The effect of 'Guard's Protection' is to increase the attack range of all shooting weapons by 1 point and the hit point by 20 points.

As for weapon performance, there is currently only one move called 'Fighting', and the rest are blank. Obviously, you need to use weapons or moves that can be judged as 'weapon categories' by the world in actual combat, so that you can supplement the weapon performance data.

The various values ​​of the fighting weapon represent 2300 (attack power)/1 (attack range)/+10 (hit correction)/+5 (critical hit rate correction)/——(remaining ammo)/—— (Consumption of EN).

The weapons and equipment are very satisfactory and even rudimentary. Even the military aircraft will at least carry a long-range weapon.

But no matter what, I successfully took the first step in this level 9 world.

I will learn to strengthen and transform the body, and I will absorb the best technical power in the world.

Wait for me, Cosmo... This time, only one of us will leave this world alive!

PS: "LOST CHILDREN" is from the original soundtrack of the PS3 game "Super Robot Wars OG 2".
