The Stone-Like is now deactivated, its power exhausted from the last battle. The ending concludes with Creator, 20 years into the future, having secluded itself inside an underground facility on Earth, now brimming with life again, creating a clone of Buster and Reana, from their strands of hair, the thing that he asked from both of them. As Buster and Reana make an attempt to escape the blast, they are swallowed up in the blinding light, seemingly destroyed. Stage 1, Link, has the Stone-Like unleash its power in a cataclysmic explosion. Stage 6, Origin, concludes with the Stone-Like, having been defeated, now transports the two Silverguns and its pilots back in time, to the year 100000 BC. The Stone-Like, having located Buster and Reana, engages them in space combat, while briefly explaining that because of humanity's constant nature to war and destroy, it had to bring about the apocalypse. Before they head out into the space, Creator asks that they leave it one thing from them. With all seemingly lost, Buster persuades Reana to join him and try to destroy the Stone-Like. Tengai orders Buster and Reana to head for space, while he makes a last ditch effort and attempt to stall the Stone-Like, just as Gai did. Catching the Stone-Like off-guard, Gai goes on a suicidal run and attempts to destroy the artifact, but fails to do so, as his Silvergun vanishes upon contact with it. Just before the building collapses, Tengai pilots the Tetra and holds up the structure from falling, allowing Creator to board Reana's Silvergun to safety.

The Silverguns hastily destroys the cruisers, but the Stone-Like appears and levels the headquarters. Stage 5, Victim, begins, as two towering battleships lumber over the headquarters, intending to prevent Creator from succeeding its mission. However, the Stone-Like sees through their plan and heads straight for the headquarters as well. Seeing a need to know more about the Stone-Like, Tengai has Creator, the robot aboard the Tetra, to head for the Earth defense headquarters and gather information about it, while the Tetra and the Silverguns hold off the Stone-Like's forces. Stage 4, known as Evasion, now takes place. The escape is successful, but the same cannot be said for Earth and its inhabitants.īack in the present, the Stone-Like, now aware of the Tetra and Silverguns' presence, uses its power and commands its own manufactured weapons to destroy them. Knowing it's impossible to stop the Stone-Like, Igarashi has the Tetra and the Silverguns to make for satellite orbit, and evade the Stone-Like.

Stage 2, Reminiscence, is actually a flashback sequence, where the Tetra and the Silverguns head to the Earth defense headquarters, where Chief Igarashi is, prior to the Stone-Like's attack. The Tetra flies back to Earth, and the three pilots, in their respective Silverguns, are sent out to investigate. The story is now told non-linearly, beginning with the third stage of the game, entitled Return. One year after the Stone-Like destroyed Earth, the Tetra, running low on supplies, makes its return to Earth. Only the crew of the Tetra remain unharmed, as they were in satellite orbit. As it overwhelms the Earth defense forces, the Stone-Like wipes out all life on Earth in a magnificent flash. Suddenly, the Stone-Like starts to act up and destroys the facility containing it. Tengai cannot believe this be just a coincidence (partly due to Igarashi proving that it is, indeed the same robot), and has the three Silvergun pilots on standby.

#RADIANT SILVERGUN SERIAL NUMBER#
Back on Earth, Igarashi relays information on the Stone-Like and the robot, claiming it has the serial number 00104, the exact same number of the robot aboard the Tetra, CREATOR 00104. Meanwhile, up in Earth's atmosphere, inside the spaceship Tetra, Commander Tengai issues Buster, Reana and Gai to test out the three new Silvergun prototype fighter crafts. Earth's secretary of defense, Chief Igarashi, orders the Stone-Like to be examined. An octahedron-shaped artifact called the Stone-Like, along with a non-functioning robot, has been unearthed.
