Planet Zi.
There, sentient metallic life forms
with advanced combat abilities called Zoids exist.
Zoids are, in other words, living machines.
soko ni donna hito ga
Over there, what kind of people
kurashi waraiatte iru no deshou
live and laugh together I wonder?
soko de donna yume ga
Over there, I wonder what kind of dreams
umare hagukumarete ita no deshou
are born and raised?
chizu ni shimesareta na mo yomenai machi
The map displays a town with no name

Once again tonight, I raise justice as my flag

Everything and everything alive

has the same crimson red blood
inochi wo sodateru
as they grow up and live

No matter what justice you hold above you
nagaredesu shinku no chi wo
the same flowing crimson blood
tomerare wa shinai
will not end
yume wo miteta
I saw a dream
nagai yume wo
A long dream
What's that?
It's Digald!
There's too many of them!
Everyone, run!
So the Reigu's fortress fell too?
I'm so sorry.
No, you did well.
I knew they'd counterattack eventually
but I never thought it'd be this bad.
We had finally driven them off too... Damn Digald!
From the reconnaissance reports
factories are being built all around.
It seems they're for mass producing Bio Zoids.
We can't make any. It's not fair!
Kotona.
You come from Iron Rock, right?
Yes.
The factory there has been restarted too, it seems.
Kotona.
Key
I heard you went to Iron Rock again.
Just taking a walk.
The dragon hasn't been found yet?
We're not even sure it's actually there.
The underground there is pretty complex.
Battle demands quantity over quality.
That's why we built more factories.
It's not just to defeat the rebels.
It's for our next goal.
We no longer need to obtain the dragon.
And, even if it fell into enemy hands, we'll just quickly bring it down.
Hopefully, it'll go that easily.
They have that boy.
Good work.
Gin, I'm sorry for suddenly asking you to do this.
It's fine. I'm one of you now.
There are Leeo bullets in here?
It's the same as the ones used by Bamburian.
Even Baratz can use them.
How we obtained it is a secret.
That's amazing! We can fight Digald on even ground with all this.
We'd be invincible.
Fool.
There's too little.
We need dozens more of this to fight Digald on even ground.
Can we ask the Sky for more?
Why do you know that?!
Ra Kan has caught on to our identities for quite some time.
Just when did you...?
I wasn't sure until after our defeat at the River of Fog.
Before that, I just had a faint feeling he was from another world than us.
This will make discussions easier then.
Our direct superior, Chief Paru, limited the numbers to that.
If you want more, the Council will need to vote for it.
Council?
Chairman.
I would like permission to speak.
Approved.
Thank you.
First of all...
Please look at the report by our resident on the surface, Ron Mangun.
From this, Digald...
The numbers sure have grown.
The military emperor has insisted we increase production.
It's only a matter of time before the rebels are crushed.
Volcano's adjustments are finished.
You can sortie at any time.
Lieutenant General Zairin!
It's nothing.
It can't be...
The Sky doesn't want to oppose Digald head on.
Then why the vague answer?
So as to not antagonize us either.
Right?
That's right.
Could it be the Chief is...
There was a response from the Sky?!
So... what'd they say?
"If you want it, come get it."
Come get it?
In the Sky?!
How do we get there? How do we transport the Leeo bullets?
It's impossible for Rainbow Jerk by itself.
That means the Sky People have no intention to help us, right?
There is one way.
Really?
However, there are plenty of hurdles to overcome.
We have to clear each one of them.
If we get blocked, that's the end.
Everyone's power will be needed.
Ruuji, your power too.
I'm prepared.
In that case, can you marry Kotona?
You must protect yourself.
Never tell your true name to anyone but your husband.
Your real name...
Yes.
Who is it?
Ummm... It's Ruuji.
Don't be shy. Take a seat.
Okay.
Kotona.
What is it?
Please tell me your real name, Kotona.
I'm sorry.
Ruuji. You know what that means, right?
It may be pretty impudent of me, but...
we need Leeo bullets to fight Digald.
I suppose you can't tell me without us getting married?
Ron?
Quit hiding and come out.
So you noticed me after all.
Ra Kan.
As Ruuji said, your real name may be the key to this battle.
Please understand.
Tell me everything first.
The Sky People?
It's not a terribly unbelievable story.
Other than Ron, I don't think Ra Kan or Ruuji are lying.
Okay. I believe you.
Thank you!
But to tell my real name...
That's right.
Then first, let me explain my plan.
We'll awaken an ultra-large model flying Zoid that's buried somewhere.
Using it, we'll go to Sora City and get the Leeo bullets.
An ultra-large model flying Zoid?
Its name is Gil Dragon.
During the Cataclysm of ancient times, it ferried many people to the Sky.
It's a Zoid larger than a mountain.
Unbelievable...
I've actually seen it with Mie buried under Katoon.
That one can't move anymore though.
But there's one place where I think a functioning Gil Dragon is buried.
Of course, we won't know if it'll move or not until we dig it up.
We also need someone to activate it.
But there is no other way.
That place is Iron Rock, it seems.
It's your hometown.
Do you have proof?
My colleagues have investigated it for many years.
And your city has a legend of the Dragon of Destruction, right?
Combined with the records in Sora City, there's no mistake.
Nobody's actually seen it though.
Because your ancestors hid it well, right?
The city of Iron Rock was created by the people aboard Gil Dragon.
Instead of Sora City, they chose to live on the surface.
But right after the Cataclysm,
misunderstanding and doubt caused battles to occur.
The people caught in that decided to seal away Gil Dragon themselves
and built a city on top of of it.
But one day Gil Dragon may be needed.
For that day, a password was left behind.
When we fled from Iron Rock before,
you used mysterious words.
Udo Kujuma Tokugo Uso Uboro Kouyo!
Words like that.
Each generation definitely passed it on.
They did it so only their descendants would know.
Such a word exists, right?
The true name of the Iron Rock people, right?
It is probably the key for awakening Gil Dragon.
It's said the real name of my clan can awaken a dragon.
I knew it!
But it's said only those of Iron Rock have the power to use those words.
I don't want to go to that city...
Kotona...
My, my. A dead end already.
Without Kotona's help, this plan is a failure.
Here we have to...
But we can't force her.
Everyone has their own problems.
Rinna.
But we don't have time to waste!
The longer we wait, the greater our disadvantage!
It may be painful for Kotona to return to her home, but she's not the only one in pain!
Ra Kan can't return to his home, and Ruuji's home is being destroyed!
So why can't she understand?
I'm going to try talking to Kotona again.
I'll go to her room.
Ruuji.
No need to call me.
Kotona!
Let me talk to Ruuji alone.
Hey, Ruuji.
Do you like your village?
Yes.
I envy you. I'm sure you have a lot of pleasant memories.
Not all of them. I was bullied a lot as a kid.
It's because I'm the only one in my family that couldn't pilot a Zoid.
Really?
But because I was raised in that village,
I just can't bring myself to hate it.
I hate the village where I grew up.
Kotona.
Iron Rock has assassins to protect the secret of the Dragon.
And I'm one of them.
We might have killed Ron's friends too.
There's no way that I can like it, right?
That's why I left Iron Rock.
I was prepared to never return.
I don't like Iron Rock.
I don't even like saying that's my hometown.
If possible, I try to avoid close relationships.
That's why I traveled around.
I've never once thought that being born in Iron Rock was a good thing.
Sorry Kotona, but right now we're glad you were born at Iron Rock.
If not, Gil Dragon would be...
I see.
For the first time since I was born, being born to Iron Rock is useful.
Yes.
My real name...
Hey, Ruuji.
Yes.
What if I said I won't tell you my real name unless you marry me?
Well, I can't get married yet...
What?!
Ron comes from one of the Ancestors' city?
Kotona's real name is a magic spell that will awaken an amazing Zoid?
Um... and that amazing Zoid is...
It will fly to the sky and get the Leeo bullets.
I don't get it!
Sorry for not telling you all this time, Garaga.
Ron!
I apologized, didn't I?
Explain it to me again in detail later!
In a way that even I can understand!
Fine!
Mie, this may be a surprise, but...
I'm not surprised!
I saw all those things with you.
I knew Ron was suspicious!
I get that Uncle knew all along,
but why are you talking like you knew the entire time?
I always traveled with Uncle.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
Mie...
The seven of us are comrades that have traveled together.
If possible, I'd like the secret of those two to remain among these seven.
I will explain the operation.
Among our forces currently gathered in Torafu,
the defense team and slow moving Zoids will remain.
All other units will attack Iron Rock.
Iron Rock?! Isn't that pretty far from here?
I heard it had a large Bio Zoid factory.
The defenses should be pretty solid.
Our goal is to excavate the ultra-large model Zoid under the city, Gil Dragon.
Gil Dragon?
Never heard of it.
It's a flying Zoid larger than a mountain.
I've heard of a Zoid larger than a mountain being unearthed long ago. Is that it?
Probably.
Once we get it, we can obtain a large supply of Leeo bullets.
We will move out as soon as preparations are done.
Adjourned!
Okay, continue!
Invincible Lunch.
The second hurdle is getting into Iron Rock. I hope it goes well.
We're in trouble if we can't.
I know this is a bit far ahead, but who will pilot Gil Dragon?
There's no guarantee that I can activate it.
It's okay. Gin is coming with us.
We'll just have to bet on him.
But this gamble has a good chance of succeeding, I think.
I think so as well.
Open the gate!
March!
The guys in the Sky might not like it though.
Oh well.
I can't believe I'm going to Iron Rock again.
Was Rinna calling me?
