During the Zwei Wing concert, shortly after the Anchorage incident...

Out of nowhere, the surroundings of Sakihama Base are suddenly attacked by Aerogators! Their individual units are weak but they attack in huge groups of Megillots, supported by tougher but less numerous Zechariahs.

The swarm makes it unable for you to move out and reinforce the Unity Group forces fighting the Noise at the stadium. Almost like if blocking you was the Aerogators' mission all along... but whatever their objective, you need to defeat them before everything is destroyed.

[After seeing the Becketts get speared right before his eyes and being able to do nothing to help, Zero sits alone save for Nao attempting to cheer him up.]

"You did everything you could, bro."

I didn't. At all. I didn't even use my damn wide shot.

"But Mr. Beckett is alive!"

And what about the other one? We let our guard down and now he's-

"Bro...but- but those civilians were saved r-right?"

...yeah.

[That's not going to get him out of his slump but he's putting on a face for Nao. That kid knows it isn't legit though. It's a shame they don't have anything to give him the slap of "knock it off".]

A hero's crushing realization of human mortality

Miss Kanade?

Mr Yancy... and Raleigh, too?

[It doesn't take long for someone to break news to Izuru. The young pilot just stands there, in shock.]

I wasn't even there. I wanted to go to the concert, but...

Why did it happen?

[Some wannabe heroes try to act tough. Izuru is not one of them, at least not now. Tears start to well in his eyes.]
