You want to join the army again!
Don't be stupid!
Do you think I'd allow that?
You are the ones that used an enemy Pteras to attack us.
But we were ordered to!
Ordered? By whom?
But...
At least I never gave such an order.
What are you saying?
Crap!
That Marx. He's planning to blame me for their defeat at Red River!
If I don't deliver that Organoid to him...
Viola, gather the troops. Prepare for battle.
But our Zoids haven't been fully repaired yet.
That's true. Furthermore we lost even when we were in tip-top condition.
Who said we were going to use the Zoids to fight?
It's not a Zoids battle? How?
We will strike when our enemy is at their weakest.
The Road to the Republic
Zoid Eve? What's that?
You don't know? Never heard about it?
It might be related to those ruins.
Then, you might find something out if you go to the National Archaeological Research Center.
National Archaeological Research Center?
Just as the name says, it's a place where they research ancient artifacts.
It's at the Republic capital.
The capital of the Republic...
Don't go berserk, Sieg.
If you do, I will close the circuit, just like this.
Irvine, what are you doing?!
Don't tell me that you want to steal Sieg again?
It's your fault for giving me the chance.
Irvine, you...
Irvine, don't lose!
Oh my...
I am the transporter of the wasteland.
Isn't there anything interesting?
That Lieutenant Hermann is nicer than he looks. He even paid us handsomely.
That's true. Thanks to him, we have a clue about Zoid Eve.
Is it really worth getting happy over that?
What do you mean, Irvine?
Isn't there an old saying, “There's always something bitter behind sweet words"?
In the end, we are going to the capital of the Republic just for Zoid Eve.
That bothers you?
It might not turn out well if we get too involved.
Do you really think that recommendation letter, from some random front-line lieutenant will be any help?
You might have a point...
Anyway, we will know once we get there.
That's true.
However, however...
I am just a woman.
There are lots of people.
That's because...
People come to Sand Colony, preparing for trips to the mountains and deserts.
Alright. Tonight we will stay here.
What? An inn?
Is it okay to be so luxurious?
You have to consider that we took one week from Red River to get here, and from now on we will have to camp out in the mountains.
Is it wrong to have a shower just for tonight, Irvine?
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.
Irvine.
What?
It's about time for you to give up on stealing Sieg.
you think so?
What do you mean by that?
It depends on you.
Depends on me? What do you mean?
I don't know. I'm not very experienced with them but...
Organoids are more intelligent than normal Zoids.
It seems to be loyal to you now, but who knows what will happen after this.
It might run away from you too.
You mean that Sieg will abandon me?
That's why I said it depends on you.
Too bad but that will never happen!
That Irvine, what was he talking about? Like I'm gonna fight with Sieg.
I am the transporter of the desert.
It's good...
Fiine, we'll go Shopping once we're done. Go get ready.
Okay!
Van, nice timing. Well, Moonbay said she will go shopping, so...
Van, wait!
Hey, are you listening?
l am listening. Go get dressed!
But wait!
Get dressed faster!
Like I said, wait, Van!
What exactly is she doing?
Van why are angry?
I am not angry.
Yeah, yeah. Van isn't angry.
He is just shy...
Moonbay!
Why are you shy?
l am not shy!
Don't you laugh!
Poor Sieg.
I am the one who is poor.
Rather than that rough guy, why don't you follow me? I'll take good care of you.
Irvine!
Welcome miss.
What would you like?
This.
This one?
What is it?
Hey, Moonbay.
You don't want to buy anything yet?
Not yet.
I have to select the best one.
Can we go soon? We are just going around in circles.
Listen to me, Van. Listen carefully. Traveling is a big deal.
I know that.
No. You don't know enough yet.
Think about this. We won't know what will happen between here and the next town where we could resupply.
You have to buy the cheapest, freshest items in bulk.
If we don't, sooner or later we will drop dead on the road.
Now, if you get it, lets move onto the next shop.
Hey, wait.
Sieg and Fiine still haven't caught up yet.
Hey, you. Are you this girl's guardian? Pay up.
You want me to pay for this?
Well, thanks. Then give me one bag of this.
Welcome.
Hey, Moonbay.
This shop is not particularly cheap.
It's okay. This cute guy gave me something nice.
And that's why I came here.
Something nice?
Look.
A map.
Looks like the Isolena Mountains, it's the defensive line of the Republic.
That's why this map is important.
Now, let's buy some food.
Aren't Sieg and Irvine in charge of the luggage?
Sieg, Fiine?
Where are they during this crucial time? Really.
Could it be that Irvine took Sieg?
Irvine? No way!
Now that you mentioned it, you did hit Sieg.
Could Sieg have run away because of that?
No way. Fiine is with him too.
Wasn't Fiine angry too?
Van, I hate you!
Van, Sieg is mine!
Crap! That Irvine!
I'm going to search for a while!
Oh, Van.
My, my. That Irvine isn't credible at all.
I wonder if they got bored and are playing somewhere.
Hey, Fiine. Stop already.
Welcome.
That.
She's just kidding, don't mind her.
Don't give her that!
Here you are.
Thanks for your purchase.
Didn't I tell you not to give her that.
Hey, Fiine!
How much?
Where in the world have Irvine and Fiine gone?
Moonbay.
Are they at the inn?
I see.
Really. Where in the world has that Irvine gone?
Don't tell me that he really took Sieg and Fiine...
If you are so concerned about it, why don't you go check if he has escaped with his Command Wolf or not?
You are...!
Long time no see, kiddo.
Here!
You...
Van, let's get out of here!
Just go.
Bianco here. We found them.
Good. Don't let them escape.
Got it.
There is no other way to save ourselves, we must get that Organoid.
You guys!
Van, don't.
But!
We'll have to force our way out of here.
Right, which way should we go? The front? The back?
Go sideways.
Sideways?
Sorry.
Damn it. You won't get away!
Hold it!
Freeze, you rascals!
Damn it. Where have they gone?
You did well. We got away.
What should we do now, Moonbay?
Let's get to the Gustav.
We are at a disadvantage when unarmed.
Crap.
What are you planning to do with that?
As I thought, Moonbay hasn't come back either.
That means they are still in the market?
What?
They're over there!
Crap!
After them! Don't let them escape!
Moonbay, if you were a bit slimmer...
Mind your own business!
Ouch!
They went into the alley!
They won't get away!
Crap!
They're not here.
l am sure they came here.
She's here! Above!
Really. If I was a bit slimmer.
Come down here quietly.
Van!
You dare make fun of me?!
Like I'm letting you escape!
Van!
Kiddo. We know you are hiding in there.
I will spare your life if you come out quietly.
Van.
Looks like you are not coming out after all.
They are still at it.
They didn't even notice that I hid in the shadow of the roof instead of going into the barrels.
If we are here, it's our turn.
Yeah!
A Redler and a Pteras!
We have done all we could.
Van, never give up.
I'm sure Irvine will come and save us.
But, the fact that Sieg is with him...
You fool. You have to trust Irvine more.
Don't get so wound up.
I'm liking the look of this Zoid more than you.
Looks like their Redler and Pteras that flew by are waiting somewhere.
How about Van and Moonbay?
They will be fine.
Sieg, it will be easy if you enter Shield Liger, but you can't move with both of them tied to the feet.
Then, we just need to untie them?
Yep.
I am going.
You're going?!
Sieg, wait here.
Hey, Fiine!
Van, Moonbay.
I am going to set you free.
Wait a bit.
They can't wait.
Let me go! I am going to save them!
Hey, Bianco!
Fiine...
Exactly what...
Are you thinking?
Irvine.
Yo. How are you?
This girl is definitely with that kid.
Come back in 4 or 5 years.
What are you doing?
Hey you!
Hold it right there!
Van, now.
You...!
Shit!
Sorry. We failed to capture the Organoid.
You idiot! Fall back.
Viola.
Got it.
Jarro.
Got it.
Let's go Sieg!
A Red Horn! Is it him?
Hold on, Van. I am moving in now!
I alone am enough to be your opponent.
Take this!
Kiddo, this is a sandy plain without cliffs or water.
Things won't turn out like last time again.
If it's down to the thickness of armor, this Red Horn won't lose.
No use.
If I don't engage in close combat...
Close range combat? I won't allow that.
Too bad, kiddo.
I wouldn't have survived that either.
What?
A shield?
We can do it with this. Let's go, Sieg!
Are you planning to ram me?
It's useless!
What?
Backups?
That...!
The Empire!
Viola, cease fire!
Gather around Red Horn.
Van, it's the Imperial Forces. Let's get out of here.
But...
Are you stupid? There's no way we can win against this many of them.
I know that!
I was Just thinking about disbanding the Desert Alcabaleno.
We can still do it!
We could, but the situation has turned on us.
Those are the Imperial Forces that came to get us, in order to blame us for Red River.
I don't want you to get caught. Run for it!
Rosso.
Viola. Forget about me and live as you like.
Rosso.
Why did they suddenly stop the fight?
Beats me. It's the military's business.
Nobody really knows what's happening.
Kiddo, don't get caught by the Imperial Forces!
After all, you are the ones that defeated us, the Desert Alcabaleno.
Yo, I'm Van.
It's weird.
The condition of Shield Liger isn't too good.
Even more troubling, this valley is emitting a special pulse that makes Zoids run wild!
Hey, Sieg, are you okay?
Where on earth are you going?
Okay, I got it.
Even though you are becoming a monster, I will definitely return you to normal.
Next time, Zoids episode 09!
The valley where monsters dwell!
I'm excited to see you again next time!
