... porter.
It's always good to be happy.
l am the transporter of the desert.
Isn't there anything interesting?
l am the transporter of the desert...
Riding my partner Gustav.
l am the transporter of the desert.
You'll be sorry if you underestimate me.
Please stop.
Ouch.
What's up with you, stopping the Gustav so suddenly?
Fiine just leaped out.
That girl... maybe she's pissed off by your snoring.
What are you saying?
Wasn't it your singing's fault?
I'm relieved that you weren't trampled over.
Jump! Sieg
You saved a grasshopper?
Even if you didn't do that, the grasshopper would have escaped on its own.
Really?
It's true.
But that grasshopper was about to fight.
That wouldn't ever happen.
Why?
Because there's no way it can win against the Gustav.
"You wont know until you try”.
That's what Van always says.
That's... No matter how many times...
What's wrong, Sieg?
Wh-What's that?
A Gordos!!.
Check out their loads!
Yes, Sir.
Don't move.
Resistance is futile.
What a crazy robbery,
targeting other people's dinner with a Gordos.
Very funny.
I am the commander of the First Company of the Republic Forces at the Red River Front,
Captain Rob Hermann.
What business does this great Captain have with us?
There was a big explosion at the ruins ahead.
The Guysacks we put there were vaporized.
So those were your Guysacks!
Yeah, something wrong with that?
How dare you!
Thanks to them, we were almost killed!
Cut it out, Van.
But...
From the results of our investigations, the explosives used to annihilate the Sleeper Guysacks...
Belong to the Imperial Army.
No matter how you look at it, it was your doing, was it not?
So what if we did do it?
I would have to take you into custody...
As spies from the Imperial Forces and also as saboteurs.
Saboteurs?
What do you mean?
Captain Hermann.
They are transporting a Shield Liger.
What's its registration number?
It's unregistered.
It might be stolen from some unit.
It wasn't stolen!
That Shield Liger was abandoned in the ruins.
“Abandoned in the ruins,” you say?
Idiot, come up with a better excuse.
It's not a lie!
Then that Wild Zoid is an Organoid, and revived that Shield Liger?
That's right.
Don't tell me, it's really true?
Run for it, Sieg!
Catch that Zoid!
Yes sir!
Hurry up and run, Sieg!
Sieg, hurry!
Hurry up and go!
Sacrificing yourself to let the Zoid escape?
Stay quiet!
That's enough.
But...
Arrest them and take them to the base.
Alright. That's good.
We can no longer talk our way out of this.
Isn't it great that Sieg didn't get caught.
Stay there and be quiet for a while.
Damn it! Let me out!
What have we done wrong?
Hey, you!
You're noisy!
Really, you tail me wherever I go.
You are the one tailing me.
Well, you may be right.
Irvine!
What are you doing in a place like this?
My Command Wolf ran out of ammo.
When I came to ask to borrow some, I was thrown into here.
As I thought, you can't underestimate a pro army.
Putting that aside, what happened to that Organoid of yours?
Was it seized by the Republic Forces along with the Shield Liger?
Sieg escaped.
Escaped?
Well, that's the best for you.
Excuse me, Captain Hermann.
How about a drink?
No, I'm fine.
That Shield Liger's...
registration was deleted twenty years ago.
In other words, that means that the brat was telling the truth?
If that Zoid is really an Organoid, it would be possible to increase our forces’ power with it .
Let's capture it, no matter what.
It's impossible to do that now.
We can't divert our force to that matter.
In order to keep an eye on the Imperial Army, headquarters has sent us five Gordos.
I requested that they send some more battle-type Zoids.
Any movements in the Imperial Forces?
No. Not really.
I just have a bad hunch.
Let's stay put here for a while.
Irvine.
Don't you think these guys here are a bit strange?
Yup. They get tense over nothing.
My recent job was quite a rush.
Your job...
For the Empire?
I was supposed to deliver it to the other side of Red River.
That means that this is a battlefield.
Probably.
Why is this a battlefield?
Weren't you sleeping?
Why do they fight?
To attack the enemy, of course.
It's not like that.
Soldiers become bored if they don't wage war.
They are itching to fight.
That's wrong too.
They make money from wars.
Seems like the first good profit in a long while.
Brat.
Suspicion towards you has been cleared.
We recognize that Shield Liger as yours.
Then hurry up and let me go.
No. We can't.
You defied my subordinate.
I will have you stay here a little longer to cool your head down.
Is that so?
But brat,
you are promising.
If you feel like it, I can let you work under me.
Stop joking around.
I have a lot of things to do!
Mr. Captain!
You can hire me too.
Woman.
Your jokes are never funny.
Well, if you change your mind, just call the guards.
My, my...
What's with that... I wasn't even joking.
What's that?
Damn it. How dare you mock me.
Stop that! Don't shoot that Zoid.
Then how should we catch it?
Hurry!
What's wrong? What on earth is the ruckus?
That Zoid appeared.
It's rampaging in the base with the Shield Liger.
What?
Everyone to combat positions!
Hurry, and prepare the Pteras to launch.
Yes sir!
It's coming to save its master.
Impressive, that Zoid has a strong a sense of responsibility.
That thing...
They sure are noisy at night.
This is our chance.
What do you mean?
Stay back.
What are you doing, Irvine?
It's dangerous, so stay away!
It's ready.
What's with you? We could have been out of here already if you did that earlier.
Oh well...
Why didn't you use it before?
You can't do such flashy things with the guards here.
Now's the time. Let's go!
Hey! What about Moonbay and Fiine?
I have no more explosives.
We will save them later.
Don't joke, Irvine! You want to leave them behind?
We'll take care of things here.
Van, if you find Sieg tell him I said "hi".
I will definitely come and save you, so please wait until then.
Yeah, yeah...
We will wait patiently.
Sieg, you came to rescue us!
See you. Be sure to run off safely.
Thank you, Sieg!
Thanks!
Now then, time to say goodbye to this place.
Hey, don't tel-
Are you insane?
You're firing that cannon in the base?
You...
I deliberately missed those. The next ones will hit.
Surrender obediently!
Too bad for you, my partner and I hate to be obedient.
Damn it. Freeze!
Who would just surrender if they were told to?
I wonder if Irvine was able to escape.
Has Van escaped?
Pteras! Three of them.
They really dispatched a pursuit team.
This is Wing One. Wing Two, Three, continue pursuit as it is.
They will surely meet up ahead.
Let's beat them there!
Aye, Sir!
I can't get away from this air pursuit.
Are you still running away, Irvine?
You're slow, Irvine.
Shut up. I don't want to be told by you of all people.
Now, Sieg. Let's give it all back to them.
You finally showed up.
Everyone rise and scramble!
Aye, Sir!
Hey, Van. Did you get that?
You can't fight them in close combat.
I know that.
Sieg, attack with missiles!
Missile empty!?
You are still a kid.
You fool!
It's common sense that they would disarm their captives.
As I thought, you are an amateur that doesn't know anything.
Then how about you?
My Command Wolf was out of ammo from the beginning.
Then what should we do?
Run!
Run?!
That's right!
Run, run and keep running! When we replenish our ammunition from somewhere, then we counterattack!
That's pathetic.
There is no other way around it.
That's all.
Hey, wait!
Shit.
Stop this futile resistance.
There is no escape route for you guys.
I will at least spare your lives. Surrender at once!
No kidding.
Let's go, Sieg!
That idiot! You serious?
What?! That kind of movement with the Shield Liger...
No way!
It can't be!
Sieg, get them!!
We did it!
We got into close combat range after all.
Two Pteras were...
Interesting.
That Van is something.
Come out.
Taking us as hostages to capture Van?
Just come out!
Resistance Is futile.
Really...
Pointing a gun at women? You are so inelegant.
Shut up.
Keep quiet.
You have never fired this gun, have you?
Shut up!
Fiine, pick that up!
Don't think that you will get away after doing this.
You guys are fighting with the Empire, aren't you?
Then I have a good idea.
What do you mean?
Don't play dumb.
I won't tell anyone about this, so let's make a deal.
Deal?
Can't reach it.
I won't fall for that again.
Surrender now!
Listen, Van!
Irvine!
I have a plan.
Jump once more!
What's the plan?
Shut up and just jump!
A-All right.
Go, Sieg!
Van, use Command Wolf as a stepping stone!
Now, Jump once again!
Got it!
Sieg, jump!
I've got you!
What?
Damn it! Emergency eject!
That's the Imperial Army.
Finally, they've started to move.
Thank you, Irvine.
I don't remember ever asking you for thanks.
Is that so?
Well fine.
Let's go save Fiine and Moonbay before that captain returns to his base.
Sorry, but that's all for me.
I leave the rest to you.
Huh? Why's that?
It's an adult's thing.
Don't worry about it.
See you Van. Bye.
What's with that guy...
Here, contract complete.
I will call them back after this.
Are you sure that we can win against the Imperial Army?
They are a large unit with combat power more than three times that of ours.
Well, we can always give it a shot, right?
How can you be so casual?
If this goes on, our army will be annihilated!
We won't know until we try.
What?!
Just trust us for once.
If we fail, we won't charge you any fees.
Who on earth are you guys?
l am the transporter of the desert.
Moonbay.
What's up?
We look like grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers?
Like the one that was about to fight Gustav?
Yeah.
That might be true.
Salute to Major Schwarz.
Yo, I'm Van!
We somehow escaped.
All that is left is to rescue Moonbay and Fiine.
Just when I thought about that, the great troops of the Empire charge in.
Also, Moonbay and Fiine were hired by the Republican Forces?
I don't understand this at all, but since things are like this, let's go save Hermann.
Next time, Zoids episode 07!
The Battle of Red River.
I'm excited to see you again next time!
