It's time...

So that's why the Zinglonites used starvation. That's why the ridiculous-looking, yet ridiculously overpowered food technologies were developed. That's why collecting edible items gives points.

The Zinglonites harnessed the power of food, and made ultimate weapons of mass food destruction. Even in the absurd universe the Tyrian sector has proved to be, the previous sentence is a whole new level of "absurd"... and the fact it is currently being said with a straight face is proof of how dire the situation has become.

The Hazudra Collectors were correct to assume that the Zinglonites have been developing a new type of weapon, one they can use to attack the sector even after it fortified following the lessons learned from the war. Observing as Trent destroyed Station Gryphon in its entirety, they were surprised to witness the Illuminator rebuilt and improved much beyond its previous abilities. The previous mothership of Microsol, be it upgraded, is not the type of weapon they expected the Zinglonites to come up with.

Then the Fruit Fleet showed up.
Starvation was not an objective of the Zinglonites, only a bonus to cause chaos before the fighting starts. The real objective was to obtain food for their new ships. Food-based weapons are little-known in the Tyrian sector, but their existence and power is known to Trent, who has even used them in his battles.
The Fruit Fleet is unlike any fleet Trent has faced in the past. He may have destroyed Gryphon, and with it, the Zinglonites' hopes of perfecting the technology before their attack on the sector, but the Fruit Fleet is ready for action nonetheless.

The Zinglonites converge for this truly final confrontation. Their god Zinglon is dead by Trent's hands, though they don't even know it. This is their last stand.
The Hazudra come to Trent's aid. Unlike his previous allies, the Hazudra genuinely care for Trent. To them, he is a misguided hero, but above all a potential friend, more than a tool to win wars. Regrettably, they had no choice but to introduce themselves by using him for that exact purpose. Trent forgives them for it as they fly together into chaos.
Together, they will stand against the Order of Zinglon. Together, they will protect the universe once more. Together, they will truly avenge the death of Buce.

Die with fear in your heart, or win with fruit juice on your hands!

- Grape Frigates shoot a limited amount of purple, destructible small grapes. Weakest ship, but still quite enduring.

- Tomato/Cherry Star Destroyers are much stronger, and shoot small red bullets.

- Orange Sawblades are very powerful, swooshing through the screen trying to slice you. Slicing THEM into a fine meal is hard but possible, so just avoid.

- Banana Battlecruisers are the finest non-boss military technology available, except the FUCKING Purple Automatic Turrets from Botany B. They are extremely tough, shoot many banana bombs in a wide arc, and are overall very powerful. However they seem to be parked.

- Aww, no Hot Dog shooting enemies? No Food Ship 9 opposing you (there are even some on the Sawblades level!)? Nothing using the Protron Cannon Tangerine? And what about Pretzels Trucks?

- Finally, the finest technology in the universe, except maybe your Stalker 21.126, a Pineapple Mothership. It seems to have other fruits mixed in it, too. It shoots... fruit juice, and eventually... squished oranges. Not too powerful, but above the average in terms of boss strength.


Congratulations!
You've had the patience to complete an absurd game difficulty!
You've proved your determination!
Now go eat fruit.


Ok, seriously, the game's over. I'll upload more videos soon, however. Extra stuff is always fun.

Enjoy the credits and the epic screenshots they contain.

Finally, you get a secret code, like always upon finishing the game. However, my memory fails me. Is it normal I get the "Experimental PQZ" code? If I remember correctly, I should get the code for the "NortShip Z". Also, I included something from AFTER I closed the game, which may confirm I should have gotten the NortShip Z.
And the YesXmas parameter.

Thanks to all my few viewers, and have a good life.

Farewell, we shall meet again soon, for more Tyrian videos.
