When we arrived at Lumière Island,
we were amazed to find an ancient Zoidian city under the sea.
Then we had to fight a Hammerhead in his territory.
I'm not used to fighting underwater, but Blade Liger was up to the task.
It was close, but we eventually won.
A Monster Awakens
I have Raven in my sight, sir.
He seems to be by himself.
Good.
Move out!
Raven.
Don't bother trying to resist. How about you come with us?
Quite the overreaction, isn't it, Schwarz?
We're up against none other than Raven, after all.
Raven.
Please take a seat.
Tell me all about the Geno Saurer.
Before we get started, got anything to eat?
I could go for a steak.
Maybe a salad on the side.
Answer my question!
The Geno Saurer.
It's a unique Zoid, created as a side effect when Proitzen was developing the Death Saurer.
You don't just find that kind of Zoid.
Just one division based here?
It won't be enough.
What do you mean?
I'm gonna destroy them in a few minutes flat.
You bastard.
Big talk for a prisoner. You're nothing but empty threats.
Empty?
Like you bandaged head?
Or the power of your Dibison?
It's a wreck all because of me.
What?!
Release him, Thomas.
But Karl!
Right now.
There's no need for that.
Raven isn't going anywhere.
He'll talk eventually.
No.
We don't have any time to waste.
The Geno Saurer is still out there, in that cocoon.
Isn't that right, Raven?
You were right.
I can feel it.
The Geno Saurer is inside that cocoon.
Is this the same thing that happened when your Shield Liger turned into the Blade Liger?
Yes.
In time...
After its evolution...
The Geno Saurer will be reborn.
It will be far more powerful than it was before.
What's the best plan, Sieg?
You're right.
Before it can destroy us, we have to destroy it.
Moonbay.
Irvine.
It sure is good to see you guys.
But what brings you two all the way out here?
A hunch.
I heard about some kind of glowing cocoon.
Really?
You sure you weren't just coming out here to check up on us?
Hey! Fiine!
Hi!
Doctor.
I'd like to ask you a few questions about that cocoon.
Of course.
It would be my pleasure to help you out.
What would be the best course of action to take against the cocoon?
Don't know.
The Zoid cocoons have me completely baffled as well.
After all, I only said I'd try to help you.
Doctor, please! The cocoon!
Yes, the cocoon, of course.
This is an extremely serious situation you're facing right now.
The Geno Saurer is evolving to meet Raven's potential as a Zoid pilot.
Whatever that may be.
That's all I know.
End transmission.
Doctor!
Typical.
He told us nothing that we didn't already know.
Raven was a real terror before all this started.
He is easily the strongest fighter I've ever faced in combat.
It seems that Raven has improved since then.
And the Geno Saurer too.
Together they'll be an unbeatable fighting team.
You've defeated him before.
And that was without the Guardian Force.
She's right.
You won't be alone, Van.
But it's a good thing Raven's safely locked up.
If he can't get to it, he won't be able to attack us with whatever the Geno Saurer evolves into.
Evolves?
We'll strike before that happens.
The Republic forces will be working with us?
That's right.
In order to destroy the cocoon,
we'll need overwhelming firepower.
I realize it's a crude solution,
but we have no other choices left to us.
And that's assuming we can destroy it.
I know you're awake.
Quite the party.
We're gathering our forces, then...
We'll launch the attack at dawn.
Too bad for me.
I was really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.
Just give it up, Raven.
Nothing can withstand that kind of assault.
The Geno Saurer is finished.
Who says it's the Geno Saurer anymore?
Begin the attack.
He's too strong.
The attack was ineffective.
Repeat, the attack was ineffective.
But that was an all-out assault and...
Not even a scratch?
Van...
We have to wait for the Geno Saurer to emerge from the cocoon,
before we can launch another assault.
Van's right.
We'll have to wait.
Raven, Raven.
The prisoner look just doesn't suit you.
Need a hand, darling?
Unless, of course, you like being locked up.
Of all the nerve. I simply offered to help him.
Stop bugging him.
Ultimately, that man has much bigger plans in store for young Raven.
We might as well have been shooting spit balls at it.
They just bounced off!
That was enough firepower to destroy two or three entire bases.
And now we're gonna just wait for it to hatch?
Stop wasting time!
We're on high alert now.
Yes! Sorry, sir.
That cocoon will open soon.
It might just be our only chance.
So we have to be prepared to move fast.
Yes, sir.
Ah... Lieutenant Van.
Do you think we even have a chance against that thing?
Of course we do.
Once it's outside the cocoon, the Geno Saurer will be vulnerable.
But... Lieutenant.
The force we've assembled here is more than a match for this monster.
I'm confident we'll win.
Remember, you are not alone.
The Guardian Force will be right there alongside you, the whole way.
Yes, sir.
Let's do it.
We're all with you, sir.
That Van.
He's come a long way.
He's become a really impressive leader, inspiring those men with talk like that.
Colonel, I think Thomas and I should position ourselves right along the front line.
In case the assault fails, we'll be able to close in quickly.
Yes, I agree with you.
Van, I wanna be right there at the front with you.
Irvine?
You know you might just have to work without getting paid.
Is that all right with you?
Well...
I know it's a bit of a sacrifice on my part, but you guys couldn't afford me anyway.
He's always gotta act like the tough guy.
But he's really the hero type.
If only he'd let himself be one.
Glad to have you with us.
I'm with you, pal.
We won't let them down, partner.
Come on.
Get up.
I've decided to transfer Raven over to Guygalos.
There we should be able to continue the interrogation in a more secure environment.
You're gonna move Raven to Guygalos?
Sounds like a good idea.
It's far too easy for him to break out of this jail cell here.
Raven is the key.
We need to determine the power that's been working behind the scenes here.
That Geno Saurer is our proof.
Somehow there's a connection with those other two who also have Organoids.
This is like some kind of puzzle with random pieces missing everywhere.
And Raven has all the answers.
Raven, the Geno Saurer will be destroyed.
The gates of hell will open before that.
Nobody can stop what will happen today.
Not you,
and certainly not these poor fools.
It's starting.
The temperature of the cocoon has been steadily increasing.
It's expanding and giving off massive amounts of energy.
I can't even begin to measure these levels.
It's kind of like being present at the birth of something.
Something unnatural.
All right.
In case the attack fails, Sieg,
it's gonna be up to us to take it down.
It's started.
Attack!
All units, open fire now!
Hey! What are you doing?
Stop that!
What's that? A shield?
The target has zero damage due to the deployment of a powerful shield.
W-What is that thing?
Not a scratch.
I've never even heard of a shield that powerful.
I don't remember it being this strong.
It's an improved...
Geno Saurer.
The readings I'm getting on this monster's shield are incredible.
My sensors don't even go that high.
That's not very good news.
If Geno Saurer has really evolved to that extent,
we might take a few bruises here.
Let's go, Sieg!
Huh? It's running!
Colonel, the target is currently headed north by northwest.
North by northwest?
That was Raven's last heading.
Deploy all of the high speed Zoids!
That Geno Saurer must be destroyed at all costs!
Hurry!
We've taken heavy damage.
Hurry, over here!
All our shields are down!
Over here, send some help!
Hey.
What's going on? What's happening?
Don't ask foolish questions!
Those men are being overwhelmed.
There they are.
All of this destruction.
And so quickly.
Everyone...
There's no way this could have been done by just one Geno Saurer.
You've evolved into Geno Breaker.
Right there.
I'll go first.
I've got a plan.
Irvine, no! Wait for us.
In terms of shooting power, I'm no match for that monster.
But this Command Wolf is the fastest thing on the ground.
He's got no speed.
He's too big!
There he is.
Irvine!
Van, now we're finished.
This is payback for my earlier defeat.
Revenge can wait till later.
No! Take cover!
Raven...
That was entertaining.
I'm beginning to understand this now.
The Geno Saurer's evolution was the real goal.
It could be.
And Raven's got it.
Geno Breaker.
Irvine! Hey, Irvine! Are you all right?
Hey, Irvine! Answer me, buddy.
Irvine!
He's always been a little rough around the edges.
Maybe that's why we are such a good team.
Or at least... we used to be a team.
He would sulk if I piloted other Zoids, but I always came back to him.
Well... we sure had some good times.
Right, partner?

The Black Lightning.
