This mission is, by far, the absolute worst in the game in terms of difficulty. There are countless places to mess up, cheap shots from the enemies, and an enormous amount of dangers that can easily destroy a good ranking. With risks galore, to get through this mission with 100 points is a total nightmare. | This mission is, by far, the absolute worst in the game in terms of difficulty.

Unlike other missions that have been strategically planned to hit up fixed locations and strongholds, this one was out of the blue and completely unexpected, forcing you to fly by the seat of your pants. It also takes place in a mobile location instead of an actual landmark. The aerial segment before reaching the aircraft is simply a warm-up segment before the real stage, the aircraft itself. If you are able to bring down the aircraft successfully, you will not see it again for a while. Your ability to reach it later in the game will depend on whether or not you have located the crash site of the craft within another geographical area. | |||

Unlike the other green Tentolancers, this one is specially designed to act as the leader of the fleet. It is much more merciless towards enemies, and has a few additional weapons in its arsenal. This one wasn't programmed with the objective of attacking the base, but the personal destruction of Zero. | Unlike the other green Tentolancers, this one is specially designed to act as the leader of the fleet.

After shooting its | After shooting its missiles, the Tentolancer will fly offscreen and then sweep over above, dropping explosive charges nearly everywhere. You need to dash right to the edge of the screen where the Tentolancer was to dodge them all. The Tentolancer will reappear on the other side of the screen afterward, and will keep going back and forth as it attacks with missiles. Being mostly an electronic weapon, it's '''weak to the Ice Chip''', and simply hitting any piece of the machine will damage it. Fortunately, it takes only a few charged attacks from any weapon to send this Tentolancer out of the sky in a smoldering heap. As a final insult, you get no Cyber-Elf. | ||

You can chose to dash down to the lower path of the room, or you can go up instead.

Going the normal route will lead to a Signaloid that will attack right away. Destroy it, and climb slowly down the ladder. You'll have to knock out a generator to get a pair of barriers out of your way, and then drop down the ladder. | Going the normal route will lead to a Signaloid that will attack right away.

Ciel will occasionally inform you of how much progress she's made defusing the bomb, but you're still in hot water until the 90 seconds are up. When that time expires, she'll have successfully defused the bomb, confirmed by the operators. At that point, the enemies will quit spawning, but you'll have to destroy whichever are still left in the room. | Ciel will occasionally inform you of how much progress she's made defusing the bomb, but you're still in hot water until the 90 seconds are up.

Zero has Ciel go on ahead, but before he can, the ship suddenly lurches into high gear and starts plummeting out of the sky! The air turbulence interferes with Zero's transfer and keeps it from working. Ciel tells him the storage has a broken area where he can escape. | ||

Now, you must go back and go through the now-open left shutter door (Note: after leaving the cockpit room, it will be closed off for the rest of the game). This will take you to storage, filled with crates and Pantheon Hammers, blocking your exit. Destroying any of the crates will supply you with a plethora of items. | Now, you must go back and go through the now-open left shutter door (Note: after leaving the cockpit room, it will be closed off for the rest of the game).

As you drop from the falling aircraft, charge up your weapon. You'll land on top of the shuttle Zero took to get to the aircraft before, but someone else arrives, ready to fight him. It's the late Herculious Anchortus's younger brother, Kuwagust Anchus, hungry for revenge, having looked up to his sibling. He knows the bomb was disarmed, but says he can complete his own mission if he turns the aircraft into a "flaming arrow" and crashes it into the Resistance Base, having a stubborn righteousness to Harpuia. | As you drop from the falling aircraft, charge up your weapon.

If you've kept A or S rank this long, you'll get the '''EX Skill [[File:MMZ2 Sengatotsu Icon.png]] Sengatostsu''', translated as '''Spinning Fang Thrust'''. If you use the Z-Saber while dashing, Zero thrusts its forward, spearing any enemy in reach if they have no shield. If the Thunder chip is equipped, the attack becomes a Thunder element and turns into a sharper, electrified blade. However, activating Sengatotsu disables the rolling slash of the Active Form. Still, to get the Active Form the best setup is exactly equipping the Sengatotsu, the Thunder Chip and the Power Form (a form with four-star power). | If you've kept A or S rank this long, you'll get the '''EX Skill [[File:MMZ2 Sengatotsu Icon.png]] Sengatostsu''', translated as '''Spinning Fang Thrust'''.

Also, since the bomb-disarming segment of this mission requires so much use of the Shield Boomerang, it's almost a given you'll deflect at least 30 bullets with it, and inadvertently gain the [[File:MMZ2 Erase Form Icon.png]] '''Erase Form''', if you didn't get it already in Phoenix Magnion's stage. | Also, since the bomb-disarming segment of this mission requires so much use of the Shield Boomerang, it's almost a given you'll deflect at least 30 bullets with it, and inadvertently gain the [[File:MMZ2 Erase Form Icon.png]] '''Erase Form''' as a bonus perk for downing the Bombardment Aircraft, if you didn't get it already in Phoenix Magnion's stage. | ||
