Part 1: How to get to the Moon
To start, go and visit Dean Warlic at Gears University. He has a secret mission for you: Sys-Zero has gone missing and he needs your help to find him.
Sys-Zero was last seen near Tibattleonia, so you should start looking there. Dean Warlic will send you there. In Tibattleonia you must defeat 2 Shadowscythe, then you can be healed before facing the boss. Recover the black box and watch the video.
From the video it appears that Sys-Zero followed the Shadowscythe into the hills and was captured. You should try to rescue him. Defeat 2 Shadowscythe. You can be healed at the repair truck up to 5 times. A message from "Sys-Zero" suggests that his mind is being taken over by Shadowscythe. Battle a Shadowscythe version of Sys-Zero.
Time to fight back against the Shadowscythe: the Soluna military launch their starships for the moon, but find out they have been sabotaged. They crash land on the moon and the Kingadent wants you to rescue them.
However, first you must fix the starship in Soluna City. Warlic sends you to find the missing parts (some are too damaged to use; keep looking)and then you will be ready for take off ... as soon as you get permission from the Kingadent.
Buy a car from the car salesman on the east side of Soluna City, then go to the White Castle and meet the Kingadent (he's kinda weird). He gives you permission to go to the moon. Head back to the starship in Soluna City and if you're a Star Captain, it's free to fly, otherwise you'll have to pay the space-fare. Select the moon as your destination on the starmap.
Part 2: On the Moon with the Rebels
The Kingadent blames the starship wreckage on rebels on the moon. Collect 10 working power cells (and defeat the Shadowscythe nearby) and then you will find a black box. Note: there is no counter for the collected power cells. Either record on a piece of paper or just keep going until you find the black box. Remember, only working power cells count.
The Kingadent now wants you to destroy the rebels. Defeat 2 rebels (you can heal at the repair truck) and then the rebel leader. Before you completely destroy the rebel leader's mecha, 2 Shadowscythe fly overhead and destroy it for you. The rebel leader ejects and then you meet Odessa, who's furious with you for doing the Kingadent's dirty work. You have 2 choices: destroy her or rescue her.
If you choose to rescue her, the Kingadent sends the Shadowscythe after you. Defeat the
Shadowscythe and then you can meet Odessa properly. The "Rebels" were actually the elite guard of
the Soluna Defense Force and Admiral Odessa Pureheart was their leader. The Kingadent was behind the
sabotage, and now their crew is stranded. Help defend against the Shadowscythe or rescue other
soliders.
Part 3: Back in Soluna City (Cure Sys-Zero)
Visit Dean Warlic again because Nurse Helia thinks she's found a cure for Sys-Zero. First, rush him to the MASH hospital base in your car. Once that is done, and he is starting to improve, you can go back and search for starship parts to salvage from the battles around town (see Warlic). The salvage shop has some rare mecha items. Go back and make sure he is improving by repeating the cure Sys-Zero quest about 10 times (you can skip the car race if you want). What Sys-Zero really needs to cure him is to see Admiral Odessa.
The Shadowscythe are attacking Soluna City again. Defeat 5 Shadowscythe commanders, then find out why the White Castle ordered the attacks. Slugwrath is not happy to see you. You defeat his mecha, but Slugwrath ejects in his escape pod, crash lands on an unfriendly planet, and is attacked by EvilCorp minions. The good news is that Admiral Pureheart is nominated for the job of Queenadent.
