The CRYSTALXMISUZU was destroyed, but its captain is still alive. We have decided to follow her with our cruiser, alone. But things are going horribly wrong again and we are thrown right into the first boss battle of Gradius V, in 3D!


Hints:
There is no briefing in this mission.
After you escape your exploding Hurricane, go to zero thrust and allocate your whole engine energy to the other systems, you will not need your afterburner during the following battle.
Hold your position in the core. The laser projectiles will move you a little, correct every moving with a very short use of your thrusters and your strafe engines.
Your shields are strong enough to withstand every hit even on Insane. The only threat are the beams which will kill you instantly.
Fire only upon the Barriers and later the Core Subsystem right in front of you. Ignore every other subsystem.
The best time to use your missiles is when the beams are starting to fire. Otherwise only a few will come through the projectiles.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
