Who said you could have a "blissful death"?
One day, six years after the great battle of Lunapolis had concluded, the moon-based Dodonpachi Corps detected a disturbance in time-space:
a slight time-space rift, one normally occurring when using a Jump Gate to travel through time-space.
The Colonel was not one to let even a minor time-space disturbance pass
without notice.
Getting to the bottom of his suspicions took time, but it became clear that someone was sending great masses of material into the past.
...
This material had started as a minor program:
a virus surviving within a massive sea of data.
With time it expanded itself, evolving.
The Dodonpachi Squadron analyzed the program.
Within it they found a personal code, one which led back to the birthplace of Element Doll EXY... The Colonel could ill conceal his foul mood.
Surely the past could not be re-written.
To protect humankind, nay to protect his invincible army, he would not permit such impudence from a "human type" that was nothing more than waste matter, born of a process that had aimed for perfection.
Secretly he thought to himself:
"Rewriting the past...is such a thing possible...?"
The Dodonpachi Squadron scrambled.
One after another they shot through the jump gates, into the past to chase EXY.
However the enemy had anticipated their pursuit.
Once inside the jump gate, the battle was upon them. An unimaginable slaughter commenced, leaving only one mother ship and several carrier-borne crafts to reach the past.
The time at the other side of the gate was May 2008, Japan.
Quenching the flames of war demands that their ashes be ignited once more.
The cacophonous buzz of bee wings is unrelenting.
