Outer Space

Narrator (Eichi voice) :

It is the year 20XX -- idols have advanced into space.

Through the series of space exploration plans that began from the ES Plan, idols were transformed into pilots capable of operating robots.

These idols fight in robot battles known as "DreamFes", that were developed from live showdowns, to deliver passion and radiance to all of humankind

However, that era will soon reach its demise.

Inside Space Colony ES: Reception Room

Hokuto: Excuse me, Tenshouin-senpai.

It might be earlier than scheduled, but it's time for the routine consultation.

Eichi: Oh my, you've certainly come earlier than expected, Hokuto.

Since you claimed victory in DreamFes and all, wouldn't it be better to spend your time performing a victory live or something?

Hokuto: No, it's fine. Our members' battle fatigue is probably piling up, after all.

It's only been half a year since we awoke from cryosleep. We need the time to rest and catch up on the details of what has happened so far.

Eichi: I see, it's a good thing to be eager to learn.

In the last few decades, idol's job description has completely turned on its head, so learning the history behind that is a matter of great significance.

Hokuto: Right. There are still a lot of things that we don't know.

--Idols have advanced into space.

Now idols fight with robots, and the winner earns the right to perform; that's how this new DreamFes works--And it seems to be entertainment to humanity down on earth.

But, what's the point of fighting with robots? I'd never imagined it would be something so important that we have to venture into space for it.

Eichi: Are you still hung up on that? How stubborn you are, Hokuto.

Hokuto: What— ..!

Eichi: But I suppose it's not weird that you'd end up thinking that. After all, this originates from the newly discovered theory in neuroscience.

The Music of Conflict and Jubilance--That is the catalyst that awakens the fighting instinct and deep emotion carved into humanity's genes.

And this new "DreamFes" is meant to bring those catalysts together .

The discovery of the new "DreamFes" brought major reform in the entertainment industry.

We’ve reached a point where all organisations on the earth make huge investments just to obtain the rights to broadcast our performances.

We receive over 2 billion views worldwide, all the time. It truly is the grandest show Earth has ever seen ♪

Hokuto: There you go again, starting another lecture on a new theory.

But in the end it's still difficult to simply swallow the fact that idols have to fight in robots.

I don't think we came to space just for that…

… But, putting that aside. Has Akehoshi still not been found?

Eichi: Yes. The search is still underway.

Hokuto: I see...

Eichi: I'm truly sorry about this. Although we’ve already sent personnel out to search for him, outer space is far too vast.

I just hope he hasn’t caught up in an accident or something.

Hokuto: I'm not trying to blame it on you, Tenshouin-senpai. After all, venturing into space has always been his wish.

It's just that Trickstar won't be complete until he returns.

Not to mention, aside from our usual performances in the new "DreamFes", we have to conduct pilot training and combat exercises with the mobile suit. It's quite a lot of work.

If we could, the members of Trickstar would be out there searching for Akehoshi every single day. But we can't afford to pull out of DreamFes, since we attract so many sponsors through it.

Eichi: So does this mean you want me to reduce Trickstar's appearances on "DreamFes"?

Hokuto: No, not just for Trickstar, but other units too.

This is just a rumour I heard, but apparently Knights' Tsukinaga Leo and the members of Crazy:B have been wandering in outer space because they don't want their ES activities to rob them of their freedom.

It's not just Knights and Crazy:B who have been affected either.

It seems like both the idols who haven't been able to adapt to the new form of DreamFes and the idols who just started out in ES have gotten fed up with the status quo.

I'm sure you understand too, Tenshouin-senpai. The growth of this industry exists because of the diversity of its idols.

Don't you think it's about time for us to give them their freedom?

Eichi: Hm. Alright, I hear you.

I, too, love idols, so I don't wish to mistreat them.

However, our life in space and future plans to explore the cosmos depend upon the funding from the massive global enterprises. Not even I can settle those negotiations easily, you know?

It might not be possible to improve things right away, but I'll do what I can.

Hokuto: Alright. I will leave it to you, Tenshouin-senpai.

Spaceship Hallway

Hokuto: ( Hm. This routine consultation ended without a hitch. Although this consultation is part of the care plan for us who have awoken from cryosleep, I do have to admire Tenshouin-senpai's dedication.

It'd be great if the new DreamFes could be improved soon as well.

Akehoshi... Did he also flee into space because he had enough of these circumstances?

Without bothering to say a thing to us first...?

Akehoshi. Please, answer me.

Have we truly become the idols we wished to be?)

Huh…? What was that jolt…?

[Emergency Alert.]

[Explosion of unidentified object detected at the dock.]

[Guards, report to the scene immediately.]

[Repeat.]

[Explosion of unidentified object detected at the dock.]

Hokuto: Emergency alert…!?
