We thought we destroyed the Death Stinger with the Gravity Cannon,
but when Ambient fused with it, the Death Stinger was partially resurrected.
But we still went after Hiltz.
After the battle, the Death Stinger disappeared into thin air.
And then Fiine disappeared too.
The Zoid Eve
Damn it.
Shadow.
Shadow!
I guess there are worse ways things could have ended for us.
I suppose that it's just my fate to be destroyed by you.
Don't worry about it.
I'm happy to see you're still alive.
And that's all...
That I've ever could have asked for.
What's the matter, Shadow?
Finish him off!
So he's managed to tame you again, hasn't he?
How foolish.
Getting caught up in such pathetic emotions.
What had you hoped to accomplish by challenging me, Organoid?
You should know that there's nothing left in this world that could stand against my will.
Good. It's about time the ancient Zoidian girl arrived.
Now all the pieces are finally in place.
Where do you think Fiine could have gone?
Your guess is as good as mine.
So what's up with him?
Sieg?
Van, maybe Sieg knows where Fiine's gone.
Ask him.
You think?
Sieg, are you trying to tell us you know where Fiine has gone?
Right. Then what are we waiting for, Sieg?
Where am I?
So you're finally awake, Fiine.
Or should I call you Alice Linette?
Are they...
Don't you worry about them.
They're just garbage.
Who are you?
I am the ruler of darkness, the Dark Kaiser.
Dark Kaiser.
I recognize you.
You're the emperor!
That's true.
I once was the emperor of the Guylos Empire.
Günther Proitzen.
But that part of me is gone.
I am so much more than that now.
I am the supreme ruler of Planet Zi.
The Dark Kaiser.
Proitzen, listen to me. You're still human in there.
Could a mere human do something like that...
ancient Zoidian?
Take a good look.
I am more than any human could ever hope to be.
Perfect. That's what Proitzen and I have become.
The most powerful Zoid on the Planet Zi.
It cannot be...
The Death Saurer's Zoid Core.
Just hold on, Fiine.
I'm coming to get you.
All repairs are complete. The Ultrasaurus has full mobility again.
Good. O'Connell?
Yes, sir.
What's Van's current status, and what's happening to the Death Stinger?
I don't know, sir.
Why don't you know?
The gravitational effects of the Gravity Cannon have spread
and have been causing electromagnetic interference in the communications equipment.
This is Irvine.
Can you guys hear me?
Irvine, this is O'Connell.
What's the current situation with the Death Stinger?
The Death Stinger just disappeared on us.
And then Fiine vanished too.
What was that about Fiine?
What are you talking about?
I can't explain it. All I know is Van is trying to track them down.
And if anyone can find the Death Stinger and Fiine, it's Van and Sieg.
Colonel Herman, we think Van may need back up.
We'd like permission to go after him to help.
No. While your Zoid is all banged up, you won't.
Get back to the Ultrasaurus and we'll arrange support from here.
O'Connell,
have a stealth type Zoid mobilized and prepare for launch.
And send it out to give Van's Blade Liger support.
Yes, sir.
This is the bridge. Scramble the 3S.
I repeat, scramble the 3S.
Moonbay,
set our course to follow Van's Liger.
As soon as Irvine and Thomas are back aboard, proceed at full speed.
You wanna catch up to the Blade Liger in this?
That's right. Do whatever you can to catch up to Van.
Then let's see what she can do.
Okay, baby. I'm sure you heard what the man said.
That means you're gonna have to kick it up a notch.
That's not bad at all.
Not for a Zoid your size.
If anyone calls you slow, I'll let you squash them.
We're just not going fast enough.
Okay, pal.
I'll give you maximum output.
Now rise, Alice Linette.
I've brought you here because I need you to do something for me.
It would seem that our destinies are entwined, since I need you to open the gates to the Zoid Eve.
You mean the Zoid Eve is here?
That's right.
This is place is now referred to as the Valley of the Rare Hertz.
But it is also the gateway to the ancient city of Evopolis.
The gates of Evopolis.
How long do you think you've been searching for the Zoid Eve,
Alice Linette?
Because you will open the gates of the Zoid Eve for me.
Zoid Eve.
Evopolis.
What good is being the perfect Zoid Core without a body to inhabit?
Of course, it's only fitting that I would acquire the ultimate Zoid body.
Now that time has finally arrived.
Alice Linette!
Sieg, we're redlining now and you wanna go faster?
All right.
I hope I have enough power.
The Valley of the Rare Hertz is up ahead.
Okay, let's go! Liger!
Go all out until the boosters burn to a crisp.
Why are you hesitating now that you're so close to the Zoid Eve?
Don't you know that it's your destiny to open those gates?
Go ahead.
Open the gates.
Let me pass through these gates.
Fiine.
Your name is the key to the end of the world.
Fiine!!!
Zoid Eve.
Specular... I thought you were done for sure.
I see...
The light of the Zoid Eve.
Sha-Shadow.
What's going on there?
Could the Rare Hertz be doing this?
Better start the pulse guard.
3S Eagle to Big Boy, I've located the Blade Liger.
Mayday! Mayday!
Malfunctioning due to the Rare Hertz!
I've lost control!
I repeat, I've lost control!
Bailing out!
Hey! What's that?
Rare Hertz? Are you sure that's what he said?
Yes. Based on the pilot's last confirmed heading in the 3S,
the only logical conclusion is that Van is headed toward the Valley of the Rare Hertz.
It's true that the Rare Hertz pulse would be enough to knock out the Storm Sworders control circuit
if it didn't get the pulse guard up.
We passed through there once, and I gotta be honest, I never liked that valley very much.
Make sense that Hiltz would feel right at home using a cursed valley like that as his hiding place.
Sleeper Zoids?
Could all these Zoids be affected by the Rare Hertz?
Sorry, but I don't have time to stick around and play with you guys right now.
The Zoid Eve is a device that produces Zoid Cores.
Long ago, the Ancient Zoidians produced many Zoids from the Zoid Eve,
and used those Zoids to bring limitless prosperity and progress to Planet Zi.
However there were those who began to use Zoids as weapons in their meaningless power struggles.
These Zoids became so adept at combat because they discovered their true warrior natures.
They continued to fight each other even without any objectives.
In order to bring an end to the battles that were raging on
the ancient Zoidian scientists created me.
The Death Saurer.
But that was the biggest mistake we made.
The Death Saurer wiped out all of the civilizations of our planet
and annihilated most of the ancient Zodian population.
In a final effort, the few survivors among the ancient Zoidians tried to terminate the Zoid Eve.
We believed that when the Zoid Eve perished, all Zoids on the planet would die as well.
But we could not bring ourselves to completely extinguish Zoid Eve's power.
This is why Zoids continue to exist on Planet Zi as pets, tools, and weapons for people.
On the other hand, by resurrecting the Zoid Eve and releasing its power,
Zoids could multiply on this world once again.
And of course, my body would also be completely resurrected under that power.
Look!
There it is! My true form.
The Death Saurer that was resurrected to attack the Imperial capital was merely a clone
created from my Zoid gene elements.
It will destroy us all.
The Death Saurer.
Now, Alice Linette.
You must finish your task. You must release the power of the Zoid Eve.
I will never do that.
Sorry.
What's that?
I'm going to finish what we started all those years ago and terminate the Zoid Eve.
Because that is my true duty as an ancient Zoidian.
How-How dare you!
What's this?!
What I'm about to do will finally bring the battles that have continued for so long to an end.
And all of that pointless destruction will end right along with it.
What makes you think you can do it now?
I don't believe that you're capable of annihilating all the Zoids that live on this planet
because you know the truth.
The ancient Zoidians would have perished without their Zoids, and you know nothing has changed.
You brat.
Van Freiheit.
I'm afraid I can't let you go any further than this point.
Well, when you consider you just busted your charged particle gun with that last blast,
how exactly do you plan to stop me?
No need to worry.
The Death Stinger will regain its original combat abilities.
As soon as it bathes in the light of the Zoid Eve.
You said Zoid Eve?
Make sure you get a good look.
The bright light in the center of those towers. That's the Zoid Eve.
Like an Organoid, the Zoid Eve has the ability to heal the wounds of damaged Zoids,
but it also has the power to quickly resurrect damaged Zoid Cores completely.
So the charged particle gun of the Death Stinger will be in perfect working order.
But I don't need that to defeat you.
That's what you think.
Come on!
Blade Attack!
It's true the only time Zoid pilots realize their full potential
is when they command and control their Zoids in the heat of battle, as soldiers.
What's that?
Zoids are combat weapons.
Their purpose is only realized when fighting.
During combat, that is when they're most beautiful.
And that's when the pilot and the Zoid are most satisfied.
You're wrong, Hiltz.
I'm not wrong.
You're wrong! Completely wrong!
Sieg, I'm sorry, but I want you to go find Fiine.
I'll settle this once and for all on my own.
I know I can take this guy down.
I'll be fine, but Fiine is probably gonna need your help.
Now get going.
What do you think you're doing?
Do you actually think you can defeat me without your Organoid?
I refuse to lose against someone like you.
Someone who doesn't even recognize the value of a Zoid.
There's no way I can lose
to someone like you!
Then come on!!!
No.
Even if his Blade Liger had increased its potential from bathing in the light of the Zoid Eve,
there's no way that should be possible.
Now I'm gonna show you what it's really like when a Zoid and its pilot share a close bond.
Ambient!!!
This should hold me over until the Zoid Eve resurrects.
Die!
Ah? I can't believe he dodged it.
Now, Alice Linette.
Try to terminate the Zoid Eve if you can.
See if you can live without your precious Zoids.
How?
How could something like this happen?
You'll never understand.
A Zoid is the best friend anyone could ever have.
I will rule everything.
Hiltz, nothing good comes out of destruction.
That's all right.
Total annihilation is my goal.
The time has come.
Stop it! Hiltz!
Next time, Zoids episode 66:
The Moment of Annihilation.
See you on the battlefield.
