The first major event have been meant to clarify the odd behavior of 00 Unit that appeared to try to avoid Takeru at all cost.
On the top of the hill, near that fucking tree that transcend the universes, 00 Unit projected her memories into Takeru's mind:

"Oh crap", can't describe the actual events described in the game, but "oh crap", veterans of the games will know why. "Oh crap" is just vague enough to warn those about to take on the game. I felt like I have been kicked in the nads, having teeth knocked off by a knee attack, then stabbed in the stomach and having my intestines pulled out. Then getting strangled with aforementioned intestine.s I read that thing, I could not skip it, the music, the cgs, the the background noises and the narration by the voice actress. They all contributed to a powerful and SICK moment. Sick as in, "Oh god! Make it stop!!!"
Then Takeru, in another genre, would have let himself eaten by despair. But, after all the crap that happened to him in the past weeks... He did not. He stepped up the game and showed the readers what it meant to be a MAN. After, all the good, the bad and the ugly, Takeru did not give up on 00 unit. He accepted it all and did not let it change his sentiments. Because, more than ever, the future of humanity is at stake. And everyone needs each other.
Now, onto the attack on the base. It could not come at a worse time, right? This is where you could feel how a desperate battle have gone beyond desperate. How desperate may you ask? Desperate to the point that Yuuko-sensei ran out of options, as she got confirmed what she had been thinking all along, there were more to BETAs than just laser classes and their sheer numbers... However, when pushed in a corner, with the help of 00 Unit and Kasumi, Yuuko-sensei came up with a plan.
A seemingly tight and okay plan. But this being Muv-Luv Alternative, things bound to go wrong go wrong. When they does indeed go wrong, it is horribly wrong. As you can tell, many things will work against humans....
Long story short, the battle was won by humans, but Kouki gives you a taste of what a Pyrrhic victory is... To be honest, it's like each victory won by humanity IS a Pyrrhic victory and bring them closer to their downfall, unless someone and something help them to turn the tide.
With many friends lost, their TSFs busted, how could Team Takeru win this? Maybe, what Kouki meant to tell us, it is that courage and determination shines brighter out of the deepest despair.
(the tear jerker to me was that dream of Takeru, where Marimo, Michiru, Haruko, Mitsuki and Haruka gathered together to leave for good ;________; )
I salute thee, Hayase and Suzumiya. I salute thee you two UN guys. Get better, Misae, Akane and Touko.
