Compile, 1989

Summary of the story:



-= Aleste (1) story (predecessing game) =-

20 years ago, Earth´s environment-regulating supercomputer "DIA51" got infected with a virus, warping all its data.
DIA51 created a freak of plants, bursting through mankind´s concrete, fabricated world, growing so fast it eventually struck people.
The supercomputer´s core explodes with plants. The explosion blows the roof of the building housing it.

One of the scientists working with DIA51, a woman named "Yuri", is struck by the explosion.
She's wondering what kept her boyfriend, who was supposed to pick her up from work.

Her boyfriend is a man named "Ray Waizen"; a pilot of prototype jet fighter "Aleste".
He arrives only to find Yuri injured and unconscious. He swears to DIA51 that he can not forgive this.
Ray flees from the building, dragging Yuri along to a hospital; or "medical emergency".

Ray Waizen ascends with Aleste to end the DIA51 menace which is crawling planet earth already.
Ray Waizen completes the mission with Aleste.
When returning to "the base", he finds Yuri to be alive.
Together, they leave Aleste´s landing platform.



-= Visual 1 =-

A.D. 2029

Earth human exploring ship "Dark Truth" cruises the galaxy.
The legendary Ray Waizen is aboard.

The virus which infected DIA51 was sent to Earth by the "Vargants"; a plant-based humanoid species.
The preservation of their species relies on infecting other planets and absorbing all life force off of them.
When the plants, which are sent preceding any attack, have succeeded in overpowering the planet, they will send a signal to the Vargants to commence harvesting it.

Next target is planet Earth.

Commander "Ruuza" and Weapon Commander "Brafnel" observe Earth.
Vargant Emperor "Gaizel" orders to attack.
Earth is attacked; first target is New York, U.S.A.

Ellinor Waizen, daughter of Ray and Yuri Waizn, sets out to avenge her father.
She pilots an improved type of the Aleste plane.



-= Area 1 to 4 =-

Ellinor Waizen fights through:

* Forest Area
* City & Industry Area
* Ocean
* Enemy base



-= Visual 2 =-

Ellinor destroyed the base of the invading enemy.
Weapon Commander "Brafnel" rises from the demolished war machine.

He tells Ellinor that the attack she diverted was merely a lead-off strategy.
The battle she fought, took place in a time-bubble.
In reality, 3 months have passed.

Brafnel tells Ellinor that planet Earth is now a world of fire.
Ellinor kills Brafnel with Aleste´s board guns.

She leaves the time-bubble to find Brafnel was right.

The player has to finish all levels, infested by the virus and in reserve order.



-= Area 5 to 8 =-

Earth is totally infested by the alien plant lifeform.

* Ocean, crashed planes and shipwrecks + a lot of plant life; lower altitude
* City & Industry Area; totally infected

* Inside of Gaizel's fortress



-= Visual 3 =-

Gaizel is defeated.
Ellinor Waizen escapes from the exploding base.
All her friends await her,
Ellinor drops flowers into the ocean as a tribute to her father, Ray Waizen.

At the beach, Commander Ruuza picks up the flowers and puts them in her hair.

This is not the end of the story...



...Or is it?




I didn´t include gameplay footage.
It would push the the film way over 10 minutes length.

Also, there's plenty of actual gameplay movies from other users.
Just search YouTube for "Aleste 2".

If a summary as I did with Psycho World and Youma Kourin is desired, I´d consider doing such a movie.
