A great war between civilizations raged on
between the Earthlings and the Xiliens, and a
long battle between monster and monster, technology
and technology, waged on as the Earth was in continuous
peril. As the Gotengo began to approach the Xilien
Mothership, the crew realized that it couldn't
breach the surface of the giant sphere, due to
the extreme defensive power of the battle station's
force field. Secretly, a crewmember aboard the
Gotengo climbed aboard the Dogfighter, an extremely
swift and maneuverable jet fighter. With the ability
to dodge the deadly lasers of the enemy fighters,
the jet approached the Mothership. Three UFOs
followed in pursuit, but one was destroyed as
the craft raced to sift through a closing portal
too late. The pilot of the Dogfighter observed
the generator in the distance as his remaining
two foes, still undeterred, followed him deeper
into the belly of the monstrous Mothership. In
response, the pilot decreased his speed and allowed
the opposing craft to soar ahead. After a few
shots, one was taken down, as the other managed
to reposition itself behind the Dogfighter. As
the pilot prepared to fire on the shield generators,
one of his ship's wings was damaged. Knowing he
could no longer return, he positioned the conflagrant
craft on a collision course with his quarry. A
roaring explosion marked the end of the Dogfighter
and the shield generator, and in response, the
force field was deactivated. Because of this selfless
sacrifice, the Gotengo was able to make its approach
toward the heart of the terrible invasion, in
order to halt the reign of terror once and for
all...
