Hyper-Mech—rumored to have been observed as
recently as the Hades Battalion counterattack of Crystal Furnace pass.
Nicknamed “the Hyper Phantom,” eyewitness accounts claim that it was somehow
more maneuverable than the Zephyr Mech, and flew faster than any #Pegasus #Drone. Shrouded in smoky black camo, the
Phantom fought like shadows amid the chaos alongside the Earth Forces. After
surviving two ambush attacks—and against all odds—the morale anemic Hades Battalion staged a remarkable comeback.
超能機甲──最近在晶爐關反擊戰時，於黑帝斯大隊中被觀測到。別名是"超能魅影"，目擊者指出，它在某個程度上比起西風機甲更具機動性，還比珀伽索斯和雄蜂無人機飛得更快。籠罩著黑色煙燻迷彩，魅影彷彿陰影之中的混沌，與地球部隊並肩作戰。歷經重重困難，在兩次伏擊下倖存，黑帝斯大隊已然士氣低迷，卻在此上演了一場卓越非凡的東山再起。
Darwyn Kane—a squad-mate of Captain Caia,
as well as an ace #Zephyr Mech pilot and jet fanatic—firmly believed in the
existence of the Hyper Phantom. He would ramble on about how cool it would be
to pilot the Phantom, and often compared the mech to his favorite childhood
fictional jet—the #Batwing. As a mission volunteer he
desperately wished to find out the truth behind the Hyper Phantom.
Unfortunately after surviving the Hades Battalion counterattack, Kane was
killed-in-action—his dream mission being his last.
達爾文‧凱恩，卡亞隊長的隊友，也是一名西風機甲的王牌駕駛員和飛行好手，他堅信超能魅影的存在。總是絮絮叨叨說著要是能駕駛魅影會有多酷，而且常拿他最愛的兒時虛構機甲"蝙蝠翼"來做比較。作為任務的志願者，他拼命想找出超能魅影背後的真相。不幸的是，在黑帝斯大隊的反擊戰後，生還名單裡沒有他，他在行動中喪生──他所夢想的任務，也成了他最後的任務。
Rumors ran rampant regarding the Hyper
Phantom’s origin. It was the belief of many that it was created by rogue
Runerians. It was the claim of inside sources that Dr. Shoji’s team was behind
this so-called “Super-Mech.” Now the lone survivor of Saber Skull Squadron,
discovering the true location of Dr. Shoji’s hidden base rests on the shoulders
of Captain Caia.
關於超能魅影的起源，謠言傳得沸沸揚揚。眾多謠言中，"由特立獨行的露那人所創造的機甲"這個說法最令人信服。據內部人士聲稱，正治博士的團隊是這個所謂"超級機甲"的幕後推手。現在，軍刀骷髏中隊的唯一倖存者，卡亞隊長，肩負起探求真相所在地的任務：尋找正治博士的祕密基地。
Super-Earth planet #Runera has diverse fauna, much of which being hostile and nocturnal
predators. With nightfall approaching, and without the added protection of her #Bellerophon #Mech, Caia must find suitable shelter to
hunker down for the night. Fortunately, megalithic caves are a common
phenomenon amid the great dunes, and it’s not too long before suitable shelter is
found. Cautiously, Caia enters the cave and discovers…
超級地球行星露那亞擁有多樣化的動物相，其中不少是充滿敵意的夜行性掠食者。在夜幕降臨之際，失去柏勒洛豐機甲保護的卡亞，必須找到合適的棲身之所歇息一宿。幸運的是，巨岩洞窟在這一片廣大的沙丘中是很常見的景象，不用多少時間就找到了合適的棲身之所。卡亞隊長小心翼翼地進入洞窟卻發現到……
