Episode 0: The Lord of Elemental Part 1
Unknown to the humans of Earth, there lies another world 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 magic and technology have been incorporated into one for all aspects of life. The story begins when Japanese teenager Masaki Andoh is mysteriously summoned to La Gias and ends up embroiled in La Gias politics, siding with the peaceful Kingdom of Langran, even showcasing his skills with piloting an "Elemental Machine". Without a way to return to the surface, Masaki accepts the offer to make La Gias his permanent home, adopted by "Sword Saint" Zeoroot zan Zenosakis. At the same time, he discovers he is not the only "surface dweller" to have made their way into La Gias: 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 Prince Feilord Grania Bilseia and his twin sisters Princess Xenia and Monica, including Elemental Machine designer, Wendy Rasm Iknart. As Masaki spends more time in La Gias, he comes to learn of the trouble plaguing La Gias, from bands of brigands roaming the rural areas to rival neighboring kingdoms with ambitions to conquer La Gias. This comes to a head with the Cult of Volkruss, a society of supporters and worshippers of the dark god Shiva Volkruss, whose machinations and power threaten the entirety of this subterranean world. However, the Kingdom of Langran built a countermeasure to combat the Cult of Volkruss - the titular "Elemental Lords", four powerful machines blessed by the highest ranking Elemental Spirits of La Gias. It is this revelation the surface dwellers are told why they were summoned: the Elemental Lords choose their "heralds" who must originate from the surface, to wit Masaki, Tytti, Yang Long and Ricardo are selected to use the Elemental Lords Cybuster, Gaddeath, Granveil and Zamzeed, respectively. Meanwhile, Masaki comes head-to-head with the enigmatic Shu Shirakawa, who not only has surface dweller and La Gias blood in his veins, but has ties to the Langran royal family. At first sight, Masaki sensed Shu had hidden intentions, and his hunch is later proven correct when Shu declares he is assisting the Cult of Volkruss to one day resurrect the dark god. With the mighty Granzon at his disposal, Shu makes work of Masaki easily, until Zeoroot takes his adoptive son's place, but is killed in battle. Confronting Shu a second time, and desperate to defeat the ma who killed his adoptive father, Masaki unknowingly unlocks "Full Possession", whereby the Elemental Spirit that blessed the Cybuster, Cyfis, takes the Elemental Lord's herald under its control. Although Shu is beaten back by the Cyfis-controlled Cybuster, Masaki is left in a state of near-death; a quick Prana injection by Wendy ensures he stays alive. Unfortunately, Shu retreating does not ensure La Gias is safe. With the death of the Sword Saint, the Shutendonias Alliance, a neighboring kingdom of Langran, decides to seize the opportunity to take over the land and begins militarizing its forces. Among the Shutendonians is Lubikka Hakinnen, a noted terrorist from the surface responsible for the death of Tytti's family years ago, who was also summoned to La Gias to be the pilot of the Gaddeath until Tytti interfered and revealed his crimes on the surface against her. Langran authorities tried placing him under arrest, but Lubikka escapes and flees to Shutendonias to be a mercenary-for-hire. Tytti's encounter with the madman lasts several occasions until she recklessly succumbs to Lubikka's hypnosis. Ricardo attempts to save Tytti and successfully breaks her out of her induced state, but Lubikka gets the last laugh as he mortally wounds Ricardo as he dies protecting Tytti, fleeing back to Shutendonias. At the same time that Ricardo is dying, Masaki is sent to the Langran capital, only for him to witness the city under bombardment. Reaching the ruins of the capital, Masaki sees Shu there with the Granzon, accusing him for the atrocities committed. Shu denies his involvement, and knowing he no longer has any business in La Gias, heads to the surface world to "assist an old friend". With the Langran king dead and the city thrown into chaos, the Shutendonias Alliance declares war on the crippled Kingdom of Langran. While Tytti, Yang Long and many other brave Langran soldiers prepare to defend their nation's borders, Masaki, still suspicious of Shu's intentions, decides to follow his Arch-Nemesis with the Cybuster back to the Earth's surface...
Episode 1: Divine Wars
It's been two hundred years since the beginning of the "Space Era", a time period when human civilization on Earth began expanding into the stars. However, by the start of the 21st century, two meteors struck and destroyed much of the planet, sending humanity into chaos. By year 179 of the Space Era, secret technology dubbed "Extra-Over Technology" (EOT) was excavated by the "Earth Federation Government" within a third meteor code-named "Meteor-3" that had hit Earth at the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. Around this time, extraterrestrials are spotted within Earth space; although a small armada, it is stopped by an esteemed member of the elite "Aggressors", Major Elzam von Branstein, who bring parts of the destroyed drones from the advancing vanguard to the eyes of the "Extra-Over Technological Institute" (EOTI). Meanwhile, avid video gamer and Mecha Otaku Ryusei Date gets into the tournament finals of the video game "Burning PT", only to witness an alien attack and discover that Burning PT is but a front to search for Psychodriver pilot candidates. He is drafted by Major Ingram Prisken to participate in his experimental "SRX Team" alongside Raidiese F. Branstein and Aya Kobayashi, stationing aboard the battleship Hagane. Accompanying him are Major Kai Kitamura, a former member of the Aggressors, and Latooni Subbota, a young survivor of a brutal, now-defunct Federation funded military training program called "The School". Meanwhile, pilot cadet Kyosuke Nanbu is transferred to the North American Langley Base following an accidental piloting test with the Wildraubtier. Drafted into the "ATX Team" under the command of ex-Aggressors member Major Sanger Zonvolt, Kyosuke is partnered with Excellen Browning and Brooklyn "Bullet" Luckfield, stationed with the Hiryu Custom battleship. During a ceremony unveiling the new Shirogane battleship in the Antarctic, the government begins a plot to secretly surrender to the extraterrestrials, but their meeting is interrupted by Shu, having reached the surface from La Gias some time earlier, and uses the Granzon to decimate Federation forces. Shu only retreats when Masaki arrives at the location, chasing after his rival for the destruction he caused in the Kingdom of Langran. Shortly after, Bian Zoldark, head of the EOTI, reveals the deception of the Earth Federation Government and declares war. Announcing the formation of the "Divine Crusaders" (DC), Bian urges any to stand alongside him and his faction to fight the corruption that has crippled the government. The Hagane and Hiryu Custom are deployed simultaneously to quell the rebellious DC in the "Divine Crusaders War" (DC War). The Hiryu fights in space against the United Colony Corps, the independent armed forces of the space colonies who have align with the DC, while the Hagane travels to the DC headquarters at Aidoneus Island to cut off the head of the rebellion. Sanger even defects to the DC to assist his old friend Elzam; as a result, the "Earth Federation Army" (EFA) promotes Kyosuke to ATX Team leader. The EFA's campaign against the DC comes to a head at their headquarters on Aidoneus Island. As the Hiryu Custom fights off a drop operation lead by Maier von Branstein, Bian faces the combined forces of the Hagane with the Valsion. Though defeated, Bian reveals his true intentions: his rebellion was kick-started as a means to unite the world, so it will be strong enough to face an impending alien invasion, rather than select the option of surrender. Even with Bian dead, DC remnants continue to harass the government, unaware of their leader's actual motivations. Bian's daughter Lune Zoldark, a former member of the DC, turns against the remnants and join the Hagane and Hiryu Custom to follow what she believes are her father's last wishes. Just as the Earth Federation Army mops up remaining DC insurgents in a failed preemptive strike at Federation headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, Bian's forewarning of the invaders comes true - the extraterrestrials, calling themselves the "Aerogaters" of the Ze Balmary Empire, arrive with the intent of conquering humanity. Ingram declares the time has come to initiate the SRX Team's goal of forming the "Super Robot Type-X" (SRX), a combat-ready machine built specifically to fight against the invaders. Unfortunately, at the Battle of Beijing, Ingram sabotages the transformation sequence of the SRX. Revealing himself as The Mole of the Aerogaters, Ingram retreats with his Aerogater masters and prepares for the final battle with the Earth Federation Army in their massive space station, code-named the "White Star". Having been in hiding following Bian's death, Sanger and Elzam come out from the shadows to lend their strength to the Hagane and Hiryu Custom with the Kurogane battleship. Despite Ingram's betrayal, the SRX Team succeeds in forming the SRX and at the "L5 Campaign" of pushing the Aerogaters away from Earth space, defeats their former commanding officer. However, even with Ingram's defeat, the army must contend with Levi Tolar, leader of the Aerogaters, who takes to the frontlines with the towering Judecca. Although Levi proves formidable, the Earth Federation Army disables the Judecca, but the Aerogater leader's defeat triggers a fail-safe: Meteor-3 arises from Aidoneus Island and initiates its self-defense mechanism. Calling itself "Seputagint", the sentient meteor prepares its "final judgment" of exterminating all life on the planet deemed a potential danger to Balmar. It takes everything the Earth Federation Army has to destroy Septuagint and end the L5 Campaign. Though the threat to humanity is gone, DC remnants continue to seek a chance to overthrow the government, while the newly reformed Earth Federation Government must contend with the reality they must be prepared for future incursions with any other extraterrestrials.
Episode 2: The Inspector
In an Alternate Universe where the Earth Federation has become so corrupt, the only power capable enough of opposing them is an organization who follows the philosophy of evolution through eternal conflict. Calling themselves the "Shadow-Mirror", they seek to spread the seeds of war through the multiple universes through an inter-dimensional traveling device called "System XN". On advice from Shadow-Mirror researcher Lemon Browning, ex-Earth Federation Army soldier and Ace Pilot Axel Almer is sent to steal the "Time Flow Engine" from the Excellence machines of the Gureden siblings Raul and Fiona, believing they would be an asset to the organization. Unfortunately, their encounter is interrupted by the mysterious interloper Duminuss, who attack the Guredens, causing a wormhole to open from Fiona's Excellence and taking the siblings and their crew into another dimension. Narrowly escaping Duminuss, Axel rendezvous with the remaining Shadow-Mirror at the Tesla Leicht Institute as they prepare for their inter-dimensional jump with one of two System XN devices away from their world into the next. Axel stays behind with the Soulgain to buy time for his allies and stall the advance of the Federation's elite "Beowulves" squadron, commanded by his former comrade Kyosuke "Beowulf" Nanbu. Despite nearly losing his life, Axel barely makes the jump across dimensions, detonating System XN to prevent anyone from their world in pursuing them. 6 months after the end of the L5 Campaign, Earth President Brian Midcrid announces the "Aegis Plan", the intent to better rearming the Earth's military to combat future alien threats. In the meantime, the Earth Federation Army continues to mop up DC remnants. After a group successfully hijacks a Valsion Custom Type-CF from Isurugi Industries, the ATX Team is relocated to the Shirogane, under the command of Captain Lee Linjun. New to the ATX Team is Lamia Loveless, a civilian volunteer recruited to test pilot the Angelg. Despite her awkward and unusual socializing skills, Lamia is given a warm welcome. When the new Federation prototype "Wild Falken" is hijacked by DC remnants, specifically the "Boosted Children" of "The School", the ATX Team and their former allies from the Hagane are sent to retrieve it. The theft of the machine is but a stepping stone for the revitalized DC, rechristened as the "Neo Divine Crusaders" (Neo DC), with their goal of toppling the Earth government remaining the same. On multiple occassions, the Earth Federation Army combat against the Neo DC using machines that should not exist, such as the R-Schneide that hasn't been approved yet for mass-production and a mutated Grungust used by a man with similar mannerisms to Sanger. From out of nowhere, extraterrestrials calling themselves "The Inspectors" begin occupying the Earth-seized White Star, the lunar Moon Cradle and systematically conquer many military installations around the world. Part of the interplanetary "Zuvorg Alliance", the Inspectors deem humanity a potential threat to the galaxy, and seek to quell that threat by seizing control of Earth's military and technology. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of certain individuals, such as Ratsel Feinschmecker assisting "Project Terrestrial Dream" in their escape from the Inspector-occupied Tesla Leicht Institute, Masaki returning from his search for Shu and the crew of the Hiryu Custom extracting vital units from Mao Industries on the moon, the Earth Federation Army is able to begin mobilization for their push to retake Inspector-occupied space on the planet. Around the same time, Kyosuke and Excellen begin receiving telepathic messages from inter-dimensional entities calling themselves the "Einst", compounded with the appearance of a little girl with physical similarities to Excellen named "Einst Alfimi". However, the appearance of the Einst also awaken the "Choukijin", a dragon-tiger pair of machines that opposes them. Selecting Bullet and his partner Kusuha Mizuha as its users, the dragon-tiger pair are implemented into their ranks. On the political side, the Federation is considered ineffective in quelling the Inspectors threat, causing a successful coup by Graien Grusman, President Midcrid's aide, who begins implementing multiple changes in the government. Meanwhile, Lee's continuous blunders against the Neo DC takes its toll when he and the Shirogane are captured by their forces. Just as the crews of the Hagane and Hiryu Custom prepare for "Operation Mole Hunt", to root out the Neo DC situated in the Earth Cradle, at the Far East Base in Izu, Japan, the Shirogane appears and Lee announces his defection. Suddenly, Lamia threatens 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. Vindel Mauser, leader of the Shadow-Mirror, explains their organization's goals for continuous improvement for humanity through war. When rebuked by Hagane Captain Daitetsu Minase, Lamia, having blended with the crews long enough, chooses to sacrifice herself by detonating the Angelg to destroy Vindel and the Shadow-Mirror. The team had no time to rest after Lamia's apparent self destruct, as the Izu base ended up surrounded by an armada of Einst, one that overpowered even the SRX. For that, Professor Kenzo Kobayashi, Aya's father, unleashed his trump card: Sending in the resurrected Mai Kobayashi, formerly Levi Tolar, into the R-GUN Powered and use her tremendous Psychodriver power to have SRX fire a buster shot so powerful it drove away the Einst forces. Still feeling unwelcome after the display of power and her past sins as Levi Tolar, Mai secluded herself alone, until she was surrounded by Neo Divine Crusaders forces and was forced to remember that she was not the blood daughter of Kenzo but instead a guinea pig... and so was her sister Aya, devastating both sisters. Ryusei managed to turn the tables that he doesn't give a crap about their status, and he'll accept them as friends, bringing back both sisters from their devastation. As they reached home, Kenzo apologized to both sisters, stating that regardless of using them inhumanly, he still considered them the closest he got for his daughters. Though her attempt is unsuccessful, Lamia survives and is rescued and resuscitated by Lemon, who allows her to escape custody. Incidentally, the crew of the Kurogane headed by Ratsel, Sanger and intelligence officer Major Gilliam Yeager, tails the Shadow-Mirror and extracts Lamia back to the Hagane and Hiryu Custom crews. Revealing her nature as an Artificial Human of her creator Lemon's "W-Numbers" series, Lamia earnestly defects from the Shadow-Mirror. At the same time, Gilliam, who has remained quiet, reveals it was he who created System XN allowing the Shadow-Mirror to jump dimensions, and urges his allies to prevent them from achieving their goals, as they require Gilliam to effectively use the second System XN device in Vindel's hands. On Sanger's suggestion, the Earth Federation Army retakes the Tesla Leicht Institute from the Inspectors and acquire the "Dynamic General Guardian" units, Bian's legacy left specifically for Sanger and Ratsel. To prepare for "Operation Plantagenet", the Earth Federation Army proposes a ceasefire with the Neo DC to simultaneously drive the Inspectors away from North America, with the Langley Base being their rendezvous point. However, the operation ends in failure as the Shadow-Mirror align with the Inspectors as a result of their actions being exposed to the Neo DC. Furthermore, Lee mortally wounds Daitetsu in a surprise attack with the Shirogane on the Hagane, Axel narrowly kills Kyosuke in combat and the interfering Einst forces all parties to retreat from Langley. Shortly afterwards, Excellen is lured into a trap set by Alfimi and is abducted by the Einst. To make matters worse, a splinter group from the Neo DC at the Earth Cradle begin their own machinations for world domination through the "Machinery Children". With Tetsuya Onodera succeeding Daitetsu's position as captain, the crew of the damaged Hagane is relocated onto the Kurogane. Splitting with the crew of the Hiryu Custom, they simultaneously assault and liberate the Earth Cradle and Moon Cradle from the Neo DC and the Inspectors, respectively. Around this time, Raul and his Excellence crew members appear in this universe, but Fiona is nowhere in sight. Believing his sister has perished from their encounter with Duminuss, Raul and his friends relegates staying in this dimension and align with the Earth Federation Army. With both ships reunited after retaking the installations, the Inspectors retreat to the White Star as the Einst begin to overwhelm their positions on Earth. The Earth Federation Army is sent to pursue and drive the Inspectors away from Earth space. Excellen, who occasionally reappears but under the influence of the Einst, is freed when her abductors deem her "incomplete". Meanwhile, one of the Inspectors named Mekibos begins to hesistate when he sees how honorable the crews of the Kurogane and Hiryu Custom are. As the ships begin their attack on the White Star, they are met with resistance by the Shadow-Mirror, who are also making their Last Stand in the space station. Multiple casualties are abound, including Axel, Lee and the remaining Inspectors. Mekibos returns to the White Star to confront Inspector leader Wendolo, urging him to reconsider on their "evaluation" of humanity. Unfortunately, Wendolo remains adamant in their objectives and kills Mekibos for being lenient with the Earthlings. The Kurogane and Hiryu Custom crews soundly defeat Wendolo, but their celebration is short-lived as the White Star begins merging with the Einsts' dimension, covering the internal network of the space station. As Alfimi and the Einst do battle with the Kurogane and Hiryu Custom crews, Vindel and his surviving Shadow-Mirror operatives make haste to capture Gilliam for System XN. Gilliam and Lamia work to disable Vindel's Zweizergain and send him to a dimension where he may never return, but in the process, trigger a dimensional rift, leading them into the Einsts' dimension. Faced with the Stern Regisseur, the leader of the Einst declares its intent to wipe out humanity and restart the cycle of life and death on Earth, merging with the White Star to oppose humanity. Alfimi, having been subjected with the compassion of Kyosuke, Excellen and their allies, assists them in destroying the Stern Regisseur. With the help of the recovered System XN, Gilliam warps him and his allies out from the collapsing dimension. Although they manage to return home, Alfimi, who is bound to the Einst, is unable to physically remain and is destroyed with them. With the Inspectors routed and the Einst and Shadow-Mirror destroyed, life returns to normal for the Earth. Certain defected members of the Boosted Children are drafted into the reformed Aggressors along with Lamia, while the ATX Team and their allies are reassigned to different military locations. Gilliam and Lamia take the remaining System XN device and destroy it, preventing any further abuse from it by anyone. Lamia insists on annihilating the last Shadow-Mirror prescence in this dimension: herself, and heads off alone into space, but is convinced by her comrades to continue living, preserving her existence as Lemon's greatest masterpiece.
Episode 2.25: Endless Frontier
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 'Mai Tierra'. Mai Tierra indeed crashed into a new world connected with Cross Gates. W07, Aschen Broedel, Lamia's direct predecessor, awakened and found all of her fellow Numbers missing, but she found W00, Haken Browning, as an infant, still intact. Carrying him out, she met up with bounty hunter John Moses and he agreed to raise Haken as his own son, and accepts Aschen into his own home. However, it seemed that Haken lacked the memory of his origins. When Haken came to age, he decided to investigate Mai Tierra to find out about his true identity. What he found was instead the buxom and innocent princess of Kagura Amahara, Kaguya Nanbu, on a pilgrimage. Haken decided to take the job of escorting her on her pilgrimage. This job led him to find out about the crisis of mysterious crystals infesting the worlds, wandering war machines with familiar shapes, and the Einst. After meeting up and joining up with Oni princess Suzuka, two dimension-travelling cops Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu, as well as a mysterious robot called KOS-MOS, Haken started cleaning up the world from Einst, also eventually finding out his identity as W00, although he's pretty nonchalant when he found out. With the defeat of the remnants of Stern Regisseur, the worlds ended up being merged at the end of Haken's quest, but he decided that since the world still exists, that just means that new adventures await. Kaguya also has formed quite an attraction to Haken and the two ends up quite intimate (albeit they eventually separated). These events will continue at Episode 2.7.
Episode 2.5: Unified Wisdom
Following the assault on the Earth Cradle by Earth Federation forces against the Neo DC, a group of mercenaries called the "Cry Wolves" are hired by General Mitall Zapad to scavenge the facility. Cry Wolves leader Albero Est, his son Foglia Est and Hugo Medio are forced to fight the Einst as they appear and surround the Earth Cradle. Using special munitions provided by Mitall, the Cry Wolves successfully capture an Einst Regisseur and take it back to the General. The mercenaries are next tasked by Professor Eric Wong to head to the White Star and steal the second System XN from Vindel. Although the Cry Wolves do not find the device or Vindel, they uncover the wreckage of the Soulgain, with its cockpit still intact and its pilot heavily wounded. As the space station is slowly absorbed into the Einst's dimension, the Cry Wolves narrowly escape, only to drop the Soulgain's remains as they flee the White Star. Axel muses to himself how close he is to death, but his prescence attracts the lingering essence of Alfimi, similarly clinging to life. In a last ditch effort before she vanishes, Alfimi merges herself with Axel, rendering him unconscious, but alive, and recovered by the Cry Wolves. In the same time, the Aggressors, now led by a remaining alumni who has participated in the Divine and Inspector Wars, Kai Kitamura, and with its members Lamia, Seolla, Arado and Latooni, were scouting on the area, clearing away from the Neo Divine Crusaders remnants, until they spotted a strange robot in similar design of the Dynamic General Guardian, the Compatible Kaiser, piloted by schoolboy turned Henshin Hero Kouta Azuma (alter ego: Fighter Roar), and several mysterious Kung-Fu fighting robots belonging to a group calling themselves the 'Shura'. Even in space, strange creatures have been making appearances as well. The Federation is testing a new unit run on the 'ODE System', but the first unit, Mironga, turned its pilot berserk and had to be killed, being deemed a failure. Its successor, the Bartolls, suddenly went berserk and executed a mass-kidnapping in its showing, and unfortunately, Lamia, Seolla, Arado, Latooni and Kusuha were caught in the act. In the same time, Kouta managed to escape kidnapping, but a red-headed Shura warrior interfered and kidnapped his sister Shouko, giving him enough drive to eventually oppose the Shura and joining the Earth Federation. After gathering their allies, the heroes assaulted the place where the ODE main computer was stationed: Hellgate Facility. They managed to rescue Kusuha, Seolla, Arado and Latooni. Kyosuke managed to nearly save Lamia, but he dropped his guard down, enough that he let Lamia get shot down and thrown to space by an ODE-possessed creator of the ODE, Wilhelm von Juergen. In rage, the Earth Federation heroes defeat him, but even Juergen found out that he was played as a pawn... by none other than Duminuss, who also introduced her three Homunculus aids: Tis, Despinis and Laliar. The team is forced to retreat, and also witnessed the Swordian Fortress arriving into the realm and is used by the Shura, led by their king Alkaid Naash, as their home base. In the same time, with grief, they had to consider Lamia 'Killed In Action' and had to move on with dealing with these two threats. Axel awakened in a facility thanks to a doctor called Eric Wong after 6 months of sleeping. They thankfully had fixed his Soulgain so when the facility was under attack by weird monsters and a new Einst-like monsters called Jetzt, eventually revealed to be led by Tis, Axel was able to sortie with Soulgain and help the Cry Wolves. Alfimi materialized and asked Axel to help her hunt down the Jetzt, also refreshing him with the memories about his past exploits in the Inspector Wars. Once he defended the facility, Axel went along with Alfimi. As the Shura ravaged through the land, the red-headed Shura warrior before, Folka Albark, began to doubt their methods, his interactions with Shouko softened him up further to the point that when the Shura agreed to bring her over to Duminuss, Folka opted to defend her, betraying the Shura and joining forces with the Earth Federation. The Shura, however, had a backup plan with its doppelganger master Arco Katworl and re-kidnapped Shouko regardless. Shortly afterwards, a similar armored female warrior called 'Emi', appeared and attacked the Federation, and revealed to be Shouko under the Emi armor's influence, brainwashed. The biggest surprise, however, was that out of their prediction, Lamia was not dead, but instead severely reprogrammed by Duminuss and used to demoralize the whole heroes with their inability to save her, especially Kyosuke. In the same time, a strange creature referred as the Youjin also attacked the RyuKoOh/KoRyuOh, although it appeared more sporadic. Around the same time as well, Raul's two friends/assistants Raji Montoya and Mizuho Saiki, were kidnapped by Duminuss' homunculus. Fortunately, a battle between Compatible Kaiser and Emi's G Thunder Gate opened another wormhole that revealed a nearly-dying Fiona, in which Raul opted to pick her up and save her. Axel and Alfimi also stopped by, and on his own will and to prevent Kyosuke to succumbing to despair and becoming another Beowulf, Axel ended up saving Lamia and winning the trust of the Earth Federation, though he still left for his own purposes. Regardless of just recently recovering from their troubles, Lamia opted to enter the frontline squad again, and Fiona decided to do the same to save both Raji and Mizuho, using two upgraded Excellences they left behind: Excellence Lightning for Raul and Excellence Eternal for Fiona. The team eventually devised a plan to infiltrate the Swordian Fortress and along the way saved Shouko and allowed her to fight on her brother's side. However, they were distracted with the distress call from the Cry Wolves, wiped out by a group of powerful Jetzt monsters, with Foglia dying to protect Albero, and Hugo fatally wounded and they were only able to escape because Axel and Alfimi were stopping by again. As they infiltrated the Shura fortress, Folka witnessed his brother, Fernando Albark, brainwashed in a bid to increase his power to trounce him. Gathering much of his experience he gathered so far, Folka managed to evolve his machine, the Shura God Ialdabaoth, into a apotheosized form, and drove Fernando away. He was about to convince his elder brother Altis Tarl to join his cause, but Altis untimely died protecting him. Altis' death drove his lover Maysis Mark to fight Folka in attempt of revenge, but then she was nearly killed when it was revealed that everything was a machination of their Treacherous Advisor Mizal Touval. On realizing this, Fernando broke away from his brainwashing and along with another Shura warrior Alion Lucada, they joined the Earth Federation heroes... to fight to death against the very Shura King himself, Alkaid Naash. Alkaid was eventually defeated and christened Folka as his successor. Mizal made his last stand but was defeated. Duminuss eventually re-emerged and absorbed two of his homunculus, Tis and Laliar, forming Duminuss Triton and fought against the heroes. However, on that time, the heroes were reinforced by not just Axel and Alfimi, but also Shu Shirakawa. On Duminuss' defeat, she called upon her master... Roar's archnemesis Dark Brain, who in turn deemed Duminuss useless and destroyed her. He turned towards the remaining homunculi, Despinis, and nearly killed her, but Raul and Fiona protected her and saying that she deserved a second chance. The team had a very hard battle to eventually defeat Dark Brain, but he would not be gone for long, As Long as There Is Evil, he can always come back... However, on exiting the Swordian fortress, they were taken in another dimension where Shu suddenly revealed that the team has grown strong enough that he could execute another part of his plan. Tapping on the power of Shiva Volkruss, Shu evolved his Granzon into Neo Granzon and attacked the team. He was defeated and just like Ingram, Shu thanked the team for defeating him and claims that his time merely has come, dying. 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. Even so, life would turn out normal for the heroes as of now... until the next time their strengths are needed.
Episode 2.7: Endless Frontier EXCEED
In the short time after the battle against the Dark Brain, Asakusa City is under siege again, this time by a series of amoeba-like creatures. Kouta transforms into Fighter Roar and deploys in the Compatible Kaiser to defend the city, but is overwhelmed, until Axel and Alfimi arrive as reinforcements, having returned to Earth following their self-imposed exile. Alfimi specifically requests they target the creatures. Unfortunately, so were the creatures, they were trying to capture Alfimi, and nearly succeeded. Despite the Soulgain ruined, Axel remain determined to save Alfimi to repay her saving his life. He picked up a blade-tonfa called Mizuchi Blade, and together with Kouta, rushed in to save Alfimi... but in process they were thrown into a portal. Ratsel, who witnessed the events as well, opted to store the Soulgain into the Kurogane for repairs. Axel and Alfimi ended up in Endless Frontier universe, but the transportation damaged Axel's brain that he suffered amnesia, that not even Alfimi could restore. He became a flirtuous, happy-go-lucky man. While wandering in the universe, he encountered the lost units of the W-Series, including even the prototype, W00/Haken Browning, and the predecessor of Lamia, W07/Aschen Broedel. To find out about his memories, Axel ventured through the Endless Frontier universe, assisting the Shura warrior and Elfetale Princess; Aledy Naash and Neige Hausen; in their efforts to restore the chaos happening through the merging of verses. He was also reunited with Kouta there. Their quest culminated in the defeat of a rogue W unit, W05/Gymnos Basileus, predecessor of Wodan. By this time, Axel was fully recovered in memory, and offered Haken to get to the real world and meet up with his other fellow W-units. However, Haken refused the offer as he has other duties with his allies here. Respecting his decision, Axel, Kouta and Alfimi once again stepped into the cross gate and also set up the events of the 2nd Original Generation.
Episode 2.8: Another Century's Episode: R
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 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, other people from multiple dimensions make their way to Eria, having been thrown into the portals erupting from their worlds and join the Ark Alpha. In their travel through Eria, the Ark Alpha and its allies are met with resistance by members of "Season", a group of androids charged with maintaining "System A.C.E.", a planetary shield and defensive grid surrounding Eria. Season leader "Winter One" was responsible for having ordered the death of every person on Eria. Determined to stop Season, the Ark Alpha goes to where System A.C.E. is located, defeating each member of Season until only Winter One is left. When cornered, Winter One's body is suddenly compromised and commandeered by Dr. Shiki, a human who secretly uploaded his mind into the android before death. Shiki claims he created the Season androids and is responsible for having Season turned against the humans of Eria. He intends to use the Ark Alpha to recreate life on the planet, as the battleship houses the necessary genetic materials needed, but with him as the new ruler of Eria. Despite the full power of System A.C.E. at his disposal, Shiki is destroyed, along with System A.C.E. by Autumn Four and her allies. Autumn Four sends her new friends back to their respective dimensions, while she stays on Eria to reseed humanity with the Ark Alpha. Although Ryusei and Kyosuke's whereabouts are unknown, Masaki returns to their dimension successfully and finds himself in the wilderness, yet among familiar territory...
Episode 2.9: Dark Prison
After Shu perished at the climax of Unified Wisdom, due to his link towards Shiva Volkruss, he was brought back to life by the cult in La Gias. However, he was not restored with his memory intact. A follower named Saphine Zeora Volkruss was assigned to keep an eye on him. In his search for his memories, Shu also joins up with two Langran royalties, Princess Monica Gran Bilseia and Prince Tellius, enarmoring both of them. Another cultist, Gaen, along with a Wild Card ally of Masaki, Middle-Eastern Ahmed Hamdi, test pilot Yong Gebana, and a member of 'Team Jelba', Selena Recital and her partner Alberta also helped out in Shuu's entourage. They also steal a red Grungust Type-2 from a battleship, which Alberta uses as an upgrade. At first puzzled by his loss of memory, they mostly come back after meeting Masaki again. Remembering the man who killed him, his memories return slowly. By the end of it, Shu recovered all his memories and realized that his death was his plan all along, since he can't kill himself, he manipulate the Earth Federation to gang up on him and kill him to sever his link with Shiva Volkruss and earning his freedom. When he was ordered to sacrifice Monica for Volkruss, Shu turned his back on the Dark God. Volkruss tried to control Sefine and almost succeed but she manage to break free. Volkruss then force Shu to use the Neo Granzon and control him. However since Shu was free from his link to the evil god, it doesn't work as planned and Shu slayed him with the power of the Neo Granzon. After reaching the surface, Shu and the others had to deal with the Ruina and the Guests. Also, Yong is a member of the Zuvorg Alliance, spying on Zezenan for omitting critical information. The group also steals a Leige Geios for Yong's use while on the moon. The final stage takes place after Shu's direct participation in the events of Gaia Savior. Fortunately Shu and the others (Monica and Saphine) show up as reinforcements in the final battle against Keparoc, who plans on invading Earth after the Earth's armed forces were exhausted in the Sealing War. They stop Keparoc's forces even though they were vastly outnumbered.
Episode 3: Gaia Saviour
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 Duvan Org and his "sister" 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. In the same time, the head of the Project Terrestrial Dream, Filio Presty, succumbed to sickness, leaving his legacy Altairlion to his chosen pilot Ibis Douglas and his fiancee Tsugumi Takakura. However, its sister unit was taken away by Filio's disgruntled sister Sleigh Presty and she would be spotted amongst either the Neo Divine Crusaders and the Gaia Sabers. During a test run on Altairlion, Ibis encountered a pod containing a young amnesiac boy who remembered nothing about his past, except his name, 'Ing'. He was soon delivered to either the Hagane or the Hiryuu Custom, but around the same time Ing was delivered, both battleships and several pilots were taken to the underground world of La Gias via summoning of Prince Feil-Lord Gran Bilseia. Around this time, Masaki arrived from his adventures from Planet Eria and became aware of the current chaos in La Gias. After rendezvousing with the Hagane, he reunited with his old friends; Herald of the Lord of Elemental of Water Gaddeath, Tytti Noorbuck, his adopted sister Presia Zenosakis, and Princess Xenia Gran Bilseia. He also met a girl named Mio Sasuga, who would succeed the Lord of Elemental of Earth Zamzeed. Around the same time, Bian's daughter, Lune Zoldark, who has been involved in both the L5 Campaign, Inspector Wars and Shura Rebellion under the Earth Federation, was also sucked into this world, and reunited with both Kyosuke and Ryusei, the Hiryuu Custom and also the Herald of the Lord of Elemental of Fire Granveil, Huang Yang Long. From both sides, Masaki and Lune solved the chaos and prevented the civil wars pertaining the underground world, and prevented the resurrection of the God of Evil Shiva Volkruss, even at cost of the lives of Prince Feil and Langran General Kirkus Zan Valfarbia. However, to their surprise, they found out that Shu has been revived without his memory. However, behind the scenes, he plotted the restoration of his memories and the fall of Shiva Volkruss itself (Detailed in Dark Prison above). Masaki and Lune stayed in La Gias as both Hagane and Hiryuu Custom returned to the surface world. On the surface, the Aggressors under Kai were still scouting the Earth to protect it, and along the way also brought along Hugo Medio, recovering from his fatal wounds at cost of being cyborgified, and teaming up with Aqua Centolm, student of the esteemed researcher Eldy Mitte, in hunting the rogue machine 'Medius Locus'. They're also joined with siblings Joshua Radcliffe and Cliana Rimskaya, to test machines using the new Sympathia system. However, unknown forces struck when the Earth forces were still at minimum; not just the suspicious movements of the Gaia Sabers, there's also a rogue AI inhabiting a ninja-like machine called JinRai, hunting down the Dynamic General Guardian units. There were weird creatures claimed to be under the 'Garden of Baral' terrorizing the Earth and capturing the tiger part of RyuKoOh/KoRyuOh, and in the South Pole, Joshua's father Felio accidentally opened a Cross Gate, bringing forth the despair-feeding race Ruina to terrorize the Earth. And a mysterious woman named Amara assaulted the Tesla Leicht Institute and utterly destroyed the whole Huckebein line of mecha. To top it off, another armada of the Zuvorg Alliance, calling themselves 'Guests', led by Teniquette Zezernan, arrived at Earth to continue where Wendolo failed. Thankfully, at the arrival of the Guests, the Steel Dragon Battle Group returned from La Gias. The Steel Dragon Battle Group, combined with the Aggressors, concentrated on fortifying their defenses, and in the same time, Ing awakened the successor of the Huckebein unit, the Exbein 'Ashe', while a Gaia Saber pilot, Ariel Org, defected from the Gaia Sabers, unable to withstand its atrocities. Soon, however, the Steel Dragon Battle Group was called for a meeting with Arteil Stenback of the Gaia Sabers himself, witnessed by President Graien Gruzman. However, the meeting ended messily, with both Hagane and Hiryuu Custom being attacked by the Gaia Sabers. In process of escaping, they accidentally killed Graien, and Arteil used it to make the group a scapegoat for assassination of the President. Making matter worse, around this time, due to the Ruina's machinations, the Earth was sealed away and both battleships was separated. In Earth, the Hiryuu Custom took defense of Asakusa city, helped by Kouta after returning from the Endless Frontier universe. They picked up a boy they met during the Shura Rebellion, named Touma Kanou, while Ibis managed to rescue a little girl named Irui. In the same time, the Sympathia system resonate strongly towards some generals of the Ruina, the Melior Esse. Joshua felt a strong link with the Melior Esse of ice, Glacies, while Rim felt a strong link with the Melior Esse of wind, Ventus. In Space, the Hagane dealt with the forthcoming Guests attacks, and also reuniting with both Axel and Alfimi. Alfimi just dropped Axel to the Hagane and left on her own, while Ariel's brother, Duvan Org, starts to get obsessed in trying to absorb Alfimi due to the resonance within the core of his Alles Geist (which he temporarily succeeded much later). Another assault in the Asakusa City brought the help of a delinquent named Michiru Hanaten, riding the G-Bunkaran, alongside Minaki Tomine, the distraught daughter of the creator of JinRai, Kaoru Tomine. With Minaki's help, the Steel Dragon Battle Group managed to subdue JinRai, and Minaki made preparations to convert it into a force of good, with Touma being designated as its pilot. Ibis also managed to convince Sleigh to bury her jealousy and worked together to make Filio's ultimate legacy come true: the Hyperion. The RyuKoOh is reformed thanks to retrieving the Tiger mecha from the Baral Garden, and Axel joined the Steel Dragon Battle Group for good with his Soulgain fully repaired. However, Hugo and Aqua also had a shocking revelation, the pilot of Medius Locus turned out to be a disillusioned Albero Esto, along with Eldy Mitte, who has gone insane. This revelation culminated in Hugo nearly dying, and coming back from the brink of death, but they managed to confiscate greater mechas under Eldy. Albero also found out that he's been had, but it was a little too late as Eldy betrayed and killed him. Hugo eventually resolved to stop Eldy. In the same time, Eldy teamed up with Duvan in order to witness the growth of the Medius Locus' AI, AI-1, whom she considered her child in a twisted way. Around the same time these was happening, the Elemental Lords went to the surface on the hint that Shu was planning something. Shu ends up giving definitive proofs that the Steel Dragon Battle Group was innocent and had the Gaia Sabers and Guests blunder. On realizing the threat the Guests pose, Masaki swore to protect the Earth first before he return to La Gias. In turn, he, Yang Long, Tytti and Mio joined the Steel Dragon Battle Group, and later picked up Lune, Presia and Kirkus' son Zashford. In the short time after, another attack by a Machine Children remnant towards Ing gave him the revelation that he was a clone and his full name is 'Ing Egret'. But in the same time, he managed to awaken the true potential of Ashe, bringing forth the 'EX-Exbein'. Joshua and Rim eventually recovered Felio's final legacy mecha and strengthened their resolve to understand and befriend both Glacies and Ventus. Around this time, the new and improved JinRai was completed and christened RaiOh. However, when Touma used it, a hidden system called the BSK system brainwashed into a berserker warrior. The group managed to recover Touma, and reoutfitted RaiOh with a Direct Motion Link system, while he is put under the tutelage of Axel in terms of hand-to-hand combat to better pilot the RaiOh. In the same time, Joshua and Rim succeeded in bringing Glacies and Ventus out of the Ruina's services, but not without a cost. Rim secretly hid the fact that she suffered a Split Personality due to testing the Sympathia system, in cockpit, she's the aggressive, serious girl Liana, and outside cockpit, she's the timid, sweet girl Chris. In process of saving Glacies and Ventus, the personality of Chris was sacrificed, leaving Liana the sole soul inside Rim. Around this time, however, the Garden of Baral made an announcement under its agent Son Ganlong, about bringing forth an utopia, but it involved sealing the Earth in a barrier erected by the Garden itself. The Garden's agents eventually also moved to kidnap their promised 'priestess'... Irui. The team was split due to this second sealing. The Hagane stayed on Earth to eventually defeat the Gaia Sabers. In space, the Hiryuu Custom attempted to save the Moon Cradle from the Guests, but they were not alone. Shu came along with his companions to help the group. Mekibos, surviving his 'death' by Wendolo, resurfaced and convinced the Guest generals that the Zuvorg Alliance has been impressed with the humans and no longer view them as threats. Zezernan, however, proved too stubborn and pressed on with his attack, getting himself killed. As the Guests return, Mekibos stayed with the Hiryuu Custom to eventually become Zuvorg Alliance's representative. Once reunited, the Steel Dragon Battle Group executed the Operation "Ice Break", eliminating the Ruina in South Pole. They went so far into bringing forth the Ruina leader, Perfectio, possessing the body of the dead Felio, from the Cross Gate inside. However, Perfectio was a being that fed on hate and negative emotions, just like Dark Brain, he couldn't truly perish As Long as There Is Evil. The only way to defeat him was to seal him together with someone, and much to Joshua, Rim and Glacies' dismay, Ventus volunteered to do the job, sacrificing himself. Eldy and Duvan attacked the group after the defeat of Perfectio. However, Eldy also betrayed Duvan and merged with the AI-1 as a monstrous blob-like creature. Hugo and Aqua put an end to Eldy's madness, and they managed to save Alfimi from Duvan, and they crossed the Cross Gate into the realm of the Baral Garden, where eventually they managed to recruit a betrayed agent of the Garden of Baral, Kukuru. Making their way to the top of the Garden, they came to encounter Irui, now the Guardian of Earth Irui Gan Eden. In her desire to protect the Earth, she sealed the Earth and used the Garden's weaponry to devastate the extraterrestrials that threaten the Earth. The Steel Dragon Battle Group would not stand for this extremist action and eventually they defeated the Gan Eden. However, when they defeated the Guardian God, Arteil Stenback mysteriously arrived, bringing forth the AI-1 and merged it with the Gan Eden and Ing, taking the Steel Dragon Battle Group with him to a mysterious dimension. In this dimension, they found out that Ing was not just any clone, but a clone of Ingram Prisken, needed by Arteil to fulfill his ultimate plan to surpass the creator of the Cross Gate and attain godlike power to topple the creator... and that his true identity was in fact Euzeth Gozzo. The Steel Dragon Battle Group was at first overwhelmed with Euzzeth's strength and his mecha Adamatron. However, the captain of Gaia Sabers' main battleship Air Christmas, who turns out to be actually a surviving Lee Linjun, arrived in the dimension, fed up with Euzzeth's betrayal. After giving his last words to the Steel Dragon Battle Group and encouraging them to defend the Earth, he rammed the Air Christmas to the Adamatron. He was killed in process, but this action popped Ing and the EX-Exbein out of the Adamatron and he eventually joined the Steel Dragon Battle Group to eventually bring down Euzzeth for good. However, on his death, he left an open Cross Gate in space near Earth. Just like Alfimi before, Kukuru was tied with the Garden of Baral, with its destruction, she perished as well. With the death of Graien, the more Reasonable Authority Figure was reinstated to the Federation. Masaki, Lune, Shu, the Heralds of Elemental Lord and the rest of the La Gias residents opted to return to La Gias once more. Hugo and Aqua ended up sticking with the Aggressors, while Lamia is sent back to ATX Team in order to help Ariel, who was scouted as a new ATX member, solve her short lifespan problem by reverse-engineering her design of W Numbers. Joshua, Rim and Glacies continue to investigate the Cross Gate, helped with Gilliam, in hopes not just to find a way to bring Ventus back without damaging the seal of Perfectio, but also solving Glacies' similar short lifespan problem. Mekibos also finalized the true alliance between the Zuvorg Alliance and Earth, noting that there will be more threat to Earth, such as Ze Balmary Empire, but the Zuvorg Alliance will help defend Earth and the galaxy. Unknown to the Steel Dragon Battle Group, the little Irui survived these ordeals, waking up with memories intact in a certain shore, rescued by a follower of the Garden of Baral. Irui held the full belief that she would one day reunite with her friends...
Episode 3.1: Project X Zone
During the off-time after the battle against Euzzeth Gozzo, Sanger Zonvolt stumbled upon a Cross Gate which brought him into the Endless Frontier, where he met both Haken Browning and Kaguya Nanbu. Things spiral out of control where first the demon known as Jedah Dohma antagonize the three, and then followed with a series of crisis 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, but the transporter accidentally brought Haken and Aschen with him. There would be another crisis, but he, Haken and Kaguya were not involved.
Episode 3.2: The Lord of Elemental Part 2
Episode 3.5: Revelation of Evil God
Episode 3.7: Pride of Justice
Episode 3.9: Coffin of the End
It was prophesized in La Gias that a calamity that would wreck the majority of La Gias would come, led by 'an army of Giant Gods'. At this point, such calamity eventually arrived under the leadership of Yotennai and the forces of Langran suffered an extremely heavy loss: All the Elemental Lords were taken into the custody of Yotennai, though only three Heralds went missing, Tytti managed to escape captivity but was forced to lay low. Additionally, even Shuu stood up in defense of La Gias... and even with Neo Granzon, he was defeated and the machine became inoperable for awhile. The chaos eventually reached the Republic of Almera where another surface dweller, Sakito Asagi, became entangled with the current problem, riding on his machine Raveraid. After gathering his friends, he managed to encounter Tytti, now riding a normal machine, and Shuu, now having to command a battleship and additionally along with a 'convinced' Amara, who was thought to have perished during the final battle with Euzzeth Gozzo, but his death activated a Cross Gate linking to La Gias, she fell there and was brainwashed by Yotennai, until Shuu himself came to the picture. Through trials and tribulations, they managed to rescue the other Elemental Lords and their Heralds, and everyone stopped pulling their punches, they went all out to defeat Yotennai... In process of doing so, the Elementals became exhausted and they went back to slumber, with the citizens of La Gias unable to sense them again, and the Elemental Lords unable to be used again, sealing themselves in stasis. Masaki was pretty sure that they would meet again... especially as how Yotennai wasn't completely defeated... in fact, she just fell onto another Cross Gate... Though the crisis towards La Gias have been averted and the land may rebuild, the threat presented by Yotennai still loom throughout the multiverse.

Reviews for Dancing Dreams
I am a mother to a legally blind daughter with Cerebral Palsy. I was looking for after school activities for her to participate in where she would feel accepted and confident. We were lucky enough to find Dancing Dreams. A ballet school for girl's with special needs. My daughter Elizabeth loves it and has made some wonderful friends. It has helped not only with her confidence, but with her balance and movement. Before she started Dancing Dreams she could not jump without falling over. This year she played The Big Bad Wolf in the recital and jumped all over the stage. The program is run by one of the most selfless women I have ever met, Joann Ferrara.

I was hoping for a softer pastel pencil. These work but require more layers.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that these pencils weren't as soft as you hoped. One of our Customer Care Agents will be in touch to see how we can help.
Better suited for fine details work

Comments about Cretacolor Fine Art Pastel Pencil Sets:
I got the set of 72 and the colors are fantastic. However, they are rather hard and for me only good for fine detail work. I don't use them as much as my Stabilo Carbothello or Koh I Noor Giocanda which are smoother and creamier. If you're looking for something for detailing that needs a sharp point, the Cretacolor is for you.

These pencils have a wonderful creamy texture
Even better than I expected!
By JMG
from Burlington, Ontario, Canada
I draw (sometimes paint) from a model once a week. These pastel pencils are perfect for the job. I can mix them with charcoal or graphite, or just have fun using a dark background and bring out the highlights. My only concern is sharpening them. I do know how to do it by hand, and then use sandpaper. Is this the best route?
I will continue to purchase this product int the future.

Personal art projct that I am working onr to sell. They are very smoth to use and blend, but they tend not they tend not to adhere will to the paper when fixitive is applied.
By GiarcNoskcaj
from Midwest
I bought the 72 set of these and most of them feel like charcoal. I'm not the biggest fan of how charcoal can squeek on paper, but the pigment is sound and coverage was what I exoected even on highly textured paper. They can be tricky to sharpen so I suggest the use of a lead pointer sandpaper pad and a knife. Hope this helps people know what to expect so they have a good experience with the product.

This is the funniest video ever. Your funny bone is missing if you don't laugh at this.
Julia describes sex as a Sewage Treatment Plant next to an Amusement Park to her curious daughter. Then, she introduces her daughter to internet porn. Her daughter, Mulan, then extrapolates what gay sex must be like and explains it to her mother. LOL Finally, Mulan is completely stumped by lesbian sex and cannot figure that one out!! LMAO!!!!!

the property has a tenant who signed a life lease. The leasee is not the owner of the property. the leasee is the remainderman of the property.
Family Law Attorney
If the lease is legitimate (if it is an actual life estate), then no, this person cannot be evicted. This would have to be disclosed in the sale. If the life estate is not properly recorded, etc., it may not be enforceable and the new owner would be able to evict the life tenant.
If this is not disclosed, it may be reason enough to overturn the transaction, or sue the title company that did not catch it.
The better question is who would purchase such a property?

So my PC died (long story) and to try to cheer myself up I got myself a game that I had heard good things about called Journey. It's by thatgamecompany who also did Flower and flOw.
Seriously, if you appreciate games as art, do yourself a favor and get this game.
It's beautiful. It isn't terribly long (maybe 4-5 hours) but I've found it very replayable if you're a trophy-monger or just like to explore and appreciate the art of the game.

I bought it a while back and love it. Truly unique experience and I don't think I can remember the last time a game made me feel that good.
It's bizarre but having such a basic way of communicating with other players feels like it actually enhances the bond between the two of you. Maybe because unlike most online games you're not listening to someone yell "faggot" every 5 seconds
Got my white coat shortly after my first playthrough and have been helping the newbies out regularly since, so even though it is pricey for such a short playthrough it is very replayable and a great way to unwind.

Great game.
I like the way they've done multiplayer too - very clever.

Instead of building it into a device at great expense, Displax has created a membrane that can respond to up to 16 touches concurrently. Treating this more like a peripheral such as a high end mouse ought to keep the cost reasonable and all you need to do is plug it into something compatible and start touching!
A new OS needs a new system restore disk
Subject: General Tech | February 2, 2010 - 12:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Much to the dismay of companies like Acronis and Norton, every single version of Windows 7 comes with a built in system image disk utility. Hidden away in the Control Panel, under System and Maintenance is a Backup and Restore icon which gives you access to the utility. The first time you use it you run the Set up backup to create your first image and specify its location, after that the back up is incremental, Windows 7 will back up the changes to your system, not require you to invest the time needed to make a new image. You can also create a system repair disk from the sam

This receiver will run you more than your HTPC

If you have spent a large amount of time and money putting together your dream HTPC, along with investing in a large screen HDTV and numerous speakers to support your 7.1 Blu-ray habit, spending just a bit of money on a multimedia receiver will cripple your enjoyment. If you want to go enthusiast you should familiarize yourself with the high end of stereo components. Take the Marantz SR6004 for instance, with an incredibly wide variety of inputs and features like the ability to upscale any signal to 1080p and output it through one of its two HDMI connections using on-board video pr

Monday has greeted us with the news of changes in several areas of PC component manufacturing. The first is more than a simple announcement, it includes video and pictures of Allyn's visit to a joint Intel and Micron fab in Lehi, Utah. You will see some jealousy inspiring shots of dies as well as videos covering the technology behind the making of flash memory. If you just want to jump to the juicy bits, then we are talking about SSDs becoming higher capacity and lower cost in the near future, though speed jumps will not happ

At the PC Perspective Forums there is really no such thing as a dumb question, the world of tech is large and everyone will run into things they've never seen. Taking a two week holiday you run a good chance of missing a generation change in some sort of component. For instance, how many of you knew about this little piece of kit from Lucid and could answer questions about it? The point of our forums is to offer you a place where
Intel tries a fast one: Diamondville and Pine Trail
Subject: General Tech | January 29, 2010 - 12:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
We are seeing a move towards the core when it comes to computers, where once even heavy duty floating point math was handled by a separate coprocessor, we now see controllers for memory and PCIe buses merged into a single chip. AMD pulled it off well when they moved the memory controller on board and Intel's Westmere has dropped the price on motherboards with its new integrated bus controller.
These kids and their mulit-touch gaming Surface

Back in the days when pen and paper were king and LCDs were limited to your watch, the sound of people gaming involved dice rolling not keyboards clicking. Then came the days of Origins and SSI and gamers started migrating to a new platform. For those who miss those days when role playing meant a bit more than clicking dialogue options, Microsoft Surface and the boys at SurfaceScape have a little something for you. Surface, if you do not recall is a new bit of tech from Microsoft, a combi
AMD's mobility 5830 has some troubles making it out the door
Subject: General Tech | January 27, 2010 - 11:50 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The new mobile graphics chipset from AMD, the 5830 has a small problem with the circuitry on its PCB according to DigiTimes. This explains the delay in its launch as the scheduled date of release was earlier this week; they are now hoping for a February launch. The problems source seems a bit of a surprise, the 5830 is a 40nm process chip after all. This is not going to apply to discreet graphics cards, it is only the mobility boards based off of the new chip that are having issues.

Vibro; an audio trick in a box
Subject: General Tech | January 26, 2010 - 02:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The bgears Vibro USB Speaker is an odd little beast, a $30, 1/2lb cube with a USB plug that claims to be a set 2.1 speakers. Looking at it, there is no power cord, no audio plugs and most strange of all is the lack of any speakers. You use it by plugging in the USB cord to your PC, letting your computer recognize it, and placing it on a flat surface like your desk. The interior speaker then vibrates that surface that is ho

For $140 you can pick up the 1GB ASUS EAH5750 Formula and BattleForge over at Newegg, not the cheapest of the HD5750s but certainly worth a look. The Formula portion of its name denotes the fact that it sports a large cooler, supposedly 13% better than the stock parts. The card is not factory overclocked, the frequencies are stock;

At a hair over $40 the SteelSeries Kinzu
gaming mouse could be considered a gateway mouse. Not too expensive to scare people off, but with just enough features to have them glancing at the more expensive mice with their fancy macro buttons and other features. It is totally driverless and its sensitivity ranges from 400 - 3200 DPI and it has three buttons which can be assigned to three different profiles.
nVIDIA and RAMBUS aren't done with each other yet
Subject: General Tech | January 25, 2010 - 12:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The US International Trade Commission and the US Patent Office are not on the same page when they are talking about nVIDIA's borrowing of RAMBUS technology for their memory controllers on just about every product they are currently selling. According to the ITC, nVIDIA has infringed on 3 patented technologies and that nVIDIA will be unable to import any product utilizing them, again every product nVIDIA sells. On the flip side, the Patent Office thought that the claims were groundless and that nVIDIA should have no restrictions on bringing their products into the US to sell.

The classic PC Perspective podcast crew is back this week in the 90th episode, where the big news we covered was, nVIDIA's long overdue update to its GPU, or GPGPU depending on how you look at it. That is not all that was covered, there is a good 80 minutes of coverage. Those of you who use Chrome can also benefit from a nice little upgrade at Vimeo, an HTML 5 player. Past episodes, such as last weeks can be more easily viewed thanks to the ability to abandon Flash.

There are a trio of interesting tidbits from the free software world, a pair from the Register, that prove that you sometimes do indeed get what you paid for. To start with the worst bit of news, there is a buffer and integer overflow vulnerability in Shockwave that affects both Mac and Windows versions. Adobe has come up with a patch, but not one you are going to see a lot of people installing. In order to patch you will first have to uninstall your current version, then reboot and finally do a fresh install of the new version.

Opera is a closed source chromium based browser (as of version 15), developed by the company Opera Software.
When version 15 was released 2013, Opera switched engine from Presto to Blink. They also started from the beginning, so many of the features that Opera <=12 had are gone. (Like mail and built-in RSS)
Opera is divided into three streams: Opera stable, Opera beta (formerly Opera next), and Opera developer. You can read more about them here: http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/streams/
Opera is not in the official repositories, the best way to install it is to download Opera from their website, and install it normally. Then it will add the opera repository for you so it updates automatically. You can read more about that here: http://deb.opera.com/manual.html
