Returning to his village, Van introduces Zeke and the girl, Fiona, to his sister Maria and the rest of the town, explaining how they both emerged from pods, and how Fiona had lost her memory. Bandits attack while Van is out giving Fiona a tour of the area in the Liger, taking Maria hostage in exchange for Zeke. Briefly tied up while the villagers take Zeke the bandits, Van gets free with Fiona's help, and rushes off to save his sister. Before Zeke can merge with the Shield Liger however, the Liger gets damaged and Zeke is knocked unconscious. Zeke is apparently awakened through some mysterious ability of Fiona's before the Liger can be destroyed. After the battle, the townsfolk accept Van's choice to leave his town in his new role as a Zoid pilot, following in his father's footsteps as he chases after Fiona's memories.
Temporarily separated from Zeke and the Shield Liger, Van and Fiona are rescued from the desert by a man named Irvine, the pilot to a Command Wolf, who offers them food and a place to sleep for the night. After reuniting with Zeke and the Liger, the two find an ancient fortress guarded by a Gordos and are forced to sneak in through the sewer. As they search through the ruins they find a diary of a soldier who was stationed at the fortress fifty years early, and through reading it learn that the Gordos was abandoned by the soldier due to its damaged leg, which Van attempts to fix. It turns out that Irvine is trying to capture Zeke, as he reappears to attack the Gordos, and later Van, only to retreat when the Gordos defends the damaged Shield Liger.
While exploring the ruins, Van and Fiona find an ancient tablet with mysterious writing on it, and Fiona remembers something called the 'Zoid Eve'. Though neither Van nor Fiona knows what it means, they decide to set off in search of more information about this 'Zoid Eve'.

"The Protectors (Futari Yojibo)" (Japanese: ふたりの用心棒)
September25,1999(1999-09-25)
February 21, 2002
After a misunderstanding where Fiona dumps out all of the water the group was carrying, Van and Fiona find themselves in a village regularly attacked by the same bandits that have given Van trouble before. The village has hired Irvine as a protector, spurring Van to prove himself just as capable when the bandits launch their attack. Despite being greatly outnumbered, Van manages to take out most of the bandits by blowing up an aquifer, though end the end he has to be saved by Irvine.
After saving the village from the Desert Alcavaleno Gang, the Shield Liger had some pretty serious damage. Van almost has a heart-attack when he finds out that Fiona ate his Papaya. A little while after that, they meet a sassy girl called Moonbay. She checks out his Shield Liger and sees that the front-back leg had some missile damage on it. They talk until a couple of sleeper Guysacks attack them. With Moonbay's Gustav weighted down by the heavy load, she can not put any weapons on it. Just then, Irvine comes and saves the day again by destroying all of the Guysacks except one that managed to slip by and cause him some damage. Moonbay finds a good place to camp out for the night, an ancient fortress base. Both the Command Wolf and the Shield Liger had taken on pretty serious damage. Irvine gets suspicious and asked Moonbay if her cargo had any Imperial firepower. Moonbay verified that and told Irvine that it was all loaded with Imperial arms and that they would explode if anything hid it. At dinner, Van tells Moonbay and Irvine what they have been doing. Van, Fiona and Zeke go off for a treasure hunt and wind up swimming. During his swim, Van finds the remains of a Zoid. Irvine goes to get his electromagnetic whip to get Zeke and just then more sleeper Guysacks start attacking. Irvine figures that it was a sleeper trap. The Guysacks they fought earlier were just decoys that led them into the ruins so that they could be surrounded very easily. The remains that Van saw were one of its captured prey that the sleepers successfully defeated. Moonbay took her cargo and went out the back with Van while Irvine made a complete 360 and came around. There is a fierce battle with just two zoids against more than a battalion of sleepers. Moonbay drives half of them her way. Then Van and Irvine show up again but this time Moonbay decides to jettison her cargo and she leaves. When the Guysacks start attacking the ammunition it blows them all up. Moonbay returns and asked Van to be her protector.
Van and Co. are traveling along when they come across soldiers of the Helic Republic, who mistake them for Imperials, especially after registering the earlier explosion. They take them prisoner after a scuffle and impound the zoids. Irvine reveals his true resourcefulness when he uses a hidden trick to break himself out and Van along with him. Van promises to come back for the girls and takes off with Irvine for the zoids. Zeke and the Liger merge and Van and Irvine take off through the base. The Republican soldiers mobilize several Petras and try to stop them. Out of the base, Van tries to lose the soldiers among the crevices, but when he is cornered and goes for the ammunition he finds out the zoids were stripped of their firepower and is chastised by Irvine for his stupidity. Irvine tries to figure out a way to save his own skin when Van gets an idea and starts running the Liger at the walls of the canyon. He bounces from side to side gaining altitude, and finally clears the canyon, taking out two of the Republicans following them. He makes a try for the third, piloted by Capt. Herman. Irvine, showing that he's actually beginning to like the kid, offers a hand, and coordinates jumps with the Command Wolf so that at its peak jump from the canyon the Liger could jump off it and strike Herman who thought he was just high enough. The pilots of the Petras bail, and as he's floating down Herman makes a respectful note of Van's achievements. The episode ends with Major Schubaltz of the Empire preparing his forces for the assault on the Republicans at Red River, and Irvine scouting around.

On the Imperial front, they had all 50 Molgas lined up with their commander Major Schubaltz in the Dark Horn. Both captains step out, have a word with each other, and go back to their respective zoids. Then Minister Prozan has a word with Marcus, a soldier from the front line. He tells him to launch the first attack and make it look like the Republic did it. If he did, he would be promoted. Then Marcus tells Rosso to use the Pteras they got and attack their forces and in which would begin the battle. Then after a long wait, a Pteras attacks their side and the battle starts up again.

For a couple of seconds, it looked like Van has the match under control, but then Raven, still being the superior pilot, quickly figures his strategy out and rips the dual-gun mounted on the Shield Liger off.

March 7, 2002
After Van loses the battle to Raven again, we find out that Zeke is hurt badly this time. Colonel Krueger knows it's a huge blow losing the fortress, but he wants to know how much time it would take them to start advancing again. He estimates about 30 hours and tells Major Ford of Chronos Unit that he should get back to Mount Osa Base and prepare for a counter-attack. Meanwhile, at the deserted village Van tries to find help for Zeke. Dr. D shows up trying to find sunscreen and Van gets Dr. D to see Zeke. Dr. D. tells Van that to revive Zeke he would have to go to Mt. Osa and get a bright blue rock called Zoid Magnite. Irvine goes to the Republican Base to get armed with a multiple missile diffusion systems. He gets to test it out. Van and Moonbay make it to Mt. Osa Volcano and are struggling to keep alive and get the rock. In the meantime, Irvine takes on Raven and his Saber Fang with his multiple missile diffusion system. Van tells Moonbay he see the rock and she should lower him down. He gets the rock and gets pulled up and both Van and Moonbay get out of there with a second to spare. Irvine traps Raven with the needle missiles and Raven fuses with his organoid and takes out Irvine in a flash. Meanwhile, the combined forces of the Schubaltz and Marcus unit make their way to Mount Osa Base.
After Van finally revives Zeke with the Zoid Magnite, Zeke needs some time to recover. Major Schubaltz joins and the Imperial unit is delayed due to an avalanche of rocks. The delay is really severe they are delayed at least 2 hours. Marcus believes that it had to have been a fluke. Major Schubaltz on the other hand believes this was no fluke, it was the work of Colonel Krueger and that he knew exactly what he was doing. The severe losses due to the Chronos Fortress and this delay with rocks was no fluke. It starts to rain and the roof starts leaking where Van and the others are at. Colonel Krueger gives the command of Mt. Osa base to Major Ford while he pilots the ZG (Gojulas) onto the front lines. At only fifty-percent of its true capability, the ZG still has firepower equivalent to twelve zoids. Irvine sneaks into the base and sees just what they are planning for the upcoming battle against the Empire. The advancing Imperial unit is caught by surprise with several sleeper Guysacks. The Iron Kong, under the control of Major Schubaltz, takes out all the Guysacks with just one round of its 70mm chain guns. Up above them under the cover of thick storm clouds, four Pteras' under the command of Captain Herman from Red River Base comes here to assist with the battle. Back at the deserted village Van asks Dr. D where he can find Irvine. With some reluctance Dr. D tells Van that he is at the Mount Osa Base. Van quickly gets in the Shield Liger and runs off to rescue Irvine. While in the Mount Osa Base, Irvine and Colonel Krueger are having a pilot to pilot talk with each other about the zoids. Captain Herman arrives at the base with his Pteras squadron, but instead of Colonel Krueger, Captain Herman will be piloting the ZG. The advancing Imperial unit makes it to the Mount Osa Base and starts attacking them, but unfortunately, Colonel Krueger is caught in one of the rounds and is hurt. Fortunately, it's not bad. Herman jumps into the cockpit of the ZG and starts his one-zoid barrage against the Imperial Army. Van makes it to the base safely and rescues Irvine right before he falls to the ground. He also learns that he does not need Zeke to access the power of the Shield Liger, that he can do it on his own. As Raven looks on, Herman takes out most of the Imperial Army forces, until Major Schubaltz starts retreating. After that Herman grounds the Gojulas.

"New Helic City (New Helic City)" (Japanese: ニューヘリックシティ)
December18,1999(1999-12-18)
March 11, 2002
There's a parade in New Helic City celebrating the Republicans' latest victory and Irvine, Moonbay, and Fiona watch it. Van and Zeke wander away and see a lone Imperial soldier being harassed by some Republicans. The Imperial soldier had escaped and was trying to get away from the city. Van feels that the right thing to do is to help him, so he and Zeke chase the Republicans away. The soldier runs away and drops a picture of him and his mother, and Van picks it up. He meets the others at a cafe and tells them what happened. Irvine leaves for a moment and Moonbay says that they should go to the institute that specializes in ancient ruins. Just then, a few trucks pull up with Republican guards in them and one of them is the person that Van and Zeke had chased away (he had told the guards about how Van helped the Imperial soldier). The guards accuse him of being an Imperial spy and do not believe that Hermann gave them their letter that he wrote for them. Irvine drives up in a jeep, throws a smoke bomb, and Van and the others get in and drive away with Zeke running after them. Irvine drives until one of the tires on his jeep is shot, and then they start running. The run into a dead end, but then a guy wearing a frog mask that covers his whole head pops out of the sewer. He takes them down into the sewer while a balloon is released to distract the guards. Irvine takes off the guy's mask and he turns out to be Dr. D! Dr. D takes them to the institute and they break in. They explore the building and find a huge rock pillar with ancient writing on it, like the one Fiona was looking at when she first said 'Zoid Eve', but Fiona does not remember anything and just gets a headache. Then they are surrounded and captured by Republican soldiers. Meanwhile, a large iceberg is headed towards the city. A lady informs the President (President Camford) about the prisoners, Hermann (her son), and the letter (they can not confirm if it's real because Herman is away checking out the iceberg). A guard laughs at Van and tells him that Zeke has been taken away and will be dissected. Van yells at him and then the President and the lady enter. Van yells at them too, but finds out that the old lady is the President and that Hermann is her son. The President sees Dr. D with them and lets them out. Later, Van and Zeke meet up happily and the President asks Dr. D to help out the Republic in the war, but Dr. D does not want to be dragged into another one. Van and the others are looking at the city when they see explosions. The Imperial soldier Van helped has stolen a powerful modified Command Wolf and is fighting some Republic zoids on the streets. Later, Van and the others look at the damage and Van becomes really angry, drops the soldier's picture, and runs off with Zeke. Meanwhile, the soldier is running away from the city when he sees a Shield Liger ahead of him. Van yells at him and the soldier attacks out of fear. Van blocks the shots with his shield, and then knocks him over with his shield and the guy is thrown out of the cockpit. The soldier runs, but Van leaps out of his zoid and chases after him. He jumps on the guy screaming and asking how he could do that. The guy says he was afraid and just trying to get away. Van nearly punches him and starts crying. Irvine and the others arrive and Irvine yells for the soldier to leave or else, and he does. Dr. D tells Van that he did the right thing by helping the soldier, because a life is a life. It does not matter if it's a Republican or Imperial one. Van still cries, though. Meanwhile, Hermann, in a Pteras with two other Pteras units, checks out the iceberg and shoots it to make sure everything's okay, but then he sees oil near the bottom of it. Missiles are launched from the iceberg and snow appears. Then the two other Pteras units are shot down and Hermann tries to contact New Helic City, but can not (due to the jamming snow). Hermann is then shot down. Beneath the iceberg, there is a large Imperial submarine. Inside the submarine is Prozen, planning an attack on New Helic City.

Barely escaping and making it to the front lines at the New Helic Shore, the Republican Army stands and waits for the Imperial Army to attack. Prince Rudolph of the Empire has some bad news about his grandfather. While Prozen gives the Republican President a final ultimatum of surrender or be completely annihilated. Then the Republican Army finds out more bad news, Old Man Krueger, Moonbay and Fiona are still at the Mount Osa Base. Colonel Krueger has an idea of destroying the Mount Osa Base so the Empire can not get its hands on it. Moonbay, Fiona and the Colonel escape through the Pteras. But the explosives did not explode. So the Colonel comes thinks if he blows the Volcano up, the base would explode and all the combat systems on the zoids would freeze. Dr. D was also thinking the same thing. They would fly in with just a couple of Pteras alongside Van and Zeke. Rudolph is informed the current emperor Zeppelin passes away at exactly 11:00 AM. Then Colonel Krueger, Fiona and Moonbay launch the missiles and fail, they needed more missiles if they were going to pull this off. Then Raven shows up with his Saber Fang and blasts them. Van and Raven duke it out then Dr. D and his members of the Pteras team make the Volcano explode and the base explodes along with Marcus. Then Prince Rudolph orders an immediate ceasefire between both nations. Then in the fight, Van had managed to destroy Raven's Saber Fang, but Shadow pulls Raven out of the Saber Fang before it explodes. The Imperial Army starts retreating and the Republicans pull a strategic victory over the Empire.
After stopping the war and making the Empire retreat peace was restored to the Republic. Van and his friends were off to the Guerrial Plateau to restore Fiona's memory. While at an Imperial Prison Cell, where the bandit Rosso has been residing for the past couple of weeks, is freed with the help of his comrades from the Desert Alcavaleno Gang. Since the death of the late emperor Zeppelin, Crown Prince Rudolph is next in line to become emperor of the Empire. Minister Prozen also mourns the loss of his emperor. Minister Prozen, as regent to Crown Prince Rudolph, would become emperor if anything were to happen to Prince Rudolph. The Desert Alcavaleno Gang is planning on kidnapping the Crown Prince Rudolph and asking for a ransom from the Empire for treating them the way they did. Late at night, Minister Prozen went to a shabby shop where a special forces operative commander by the name of Metlenick was. Metlenick had arranged three republican command wolves to assure that the assassination would look like the republicans had done it to re-new the war. Minister Prozen gives the details of how Rudolph would leave the palace. He would be flying in a Redler guarded by two or three Rev. Raptors basic models at that. The mission would be to take Rudolph out as quickly as possible and most importantly make it look like the Republicans had done it. Rosso and Viola are scoping out the palace while a person from the special forces operative spots them, and tells his boss Metlenick and tails them. Rosso and Viola make it to their hideout but Metlenick's group launches a missile right into their hideout, assuming that they are dead Metlenick resumes his mission. Fortunately, all four of them had gotten into their Molga. The Desert Alcavaleno gang finds Metlenick's hideout and they also find out they are doing a serious co-operative mission to make it look like the rebels had done it. They hit the Command Wolves and knock them all into a Frozen Combat System. Rosso and Viola attack the palace and get Prince Rudolph and head back to the Iron Kong. Rosso also learns Metlenick's mission was to take out the Prince Rudolph. Van and the gang make it near the Guerrial Plateau only four more days until they get there.

A scientist talks to Minister Prozen about the loading process of the new type zoid they had found and the other zoid to which they had made alterations to its zoid core. Van and the rest were going off to the Guerrial Ruins. All the while, Rosso and Viola were safe for the time being, they were not chased by the Imperial Army. They planned to ransom the young prince to the highest bidder in the Empire. After such a long and hard struggle from the palace to the desert, Rudolph was fast asleep. Rosso and Viola were about to have dinner, but then Rudolph starts to escape. Van, Moonbay, Irvine and Fiona had made it to the Guerrial Plateau and started searching around the ruins. They had split up, Van/Fiona/Zeke went one way and Moonbay/Irvine went around the other way. They had learned that someone had recently been here, after crossing a trapped line, Irvine and Moonbay were chased all over the ruins by a Rev Raptor. Then the same had happened to Van, Fiona and Zeke. Barely hiding from the Rev Raptor, Irvine learned the movements of these zoids were sluggish and they had to be sleeper zoids, later he was able to confirm that by spotting its computer in the cockpit. Irvine also finds out that they had to be programmed not to fire, because it would damage the ruins. Van and Fiona were still running from the Rev Rapter and were cornered by the Rapter, they jumped off the cliff and the Shield Liger w/Zeke had rescued them. Then with a few swift moves, Van takes out all the Rev Raptors with the Liger's shield. Meanwhile, Rosso is having an exchange with Metlenick, Rudolph for money. He gets the money but throws it back and takes Rudolph again. Viola backs them up and they make a safe escape. Meanwhile at the ruins, after touching one of the stone tablets, Fiona remembers something called Death Saurer. Later at the Prozen's scientific lab, he calls in Raven and gives him a new type of zoid, they had made some modifications to its Zoid Core.

Raven starts to rush after Rosso and enters a punk guys territory called Brad. Raven being the nicest I have ever seen him, gets mocked by Brad. Then Raven takes Brad out and crushes his Dark Horn. Later Van and the rest were talking about how it was a waste of time, and Irvine brings up a good point about how Fiona remembered something called Death Saurer. Van kicks a rock in the bush and finds a boy named Rudolph. Rosso and Viola can not find Rudolph anywhere and went searching for him. Moonbay tries to swindle Rudolph out of his Imperial Ring but Van cancels that transaction. While at the Imperial Palace, Prozen gives a magnificent speech on how, if Prince Rudolph does not return before the funeral of the late emperor Zeppelin, he would take office. A very fast zoid attacks through the cover of the forest, Viola goes to check it out and it turns out it's Raven in a Geno Saurer (purple/dark purple/black). Rosso was coming to but he'd be a little late. Rudolph was just leaving and was stopped when Fiona creeped everyone out with her little forewarning. Raven shows up and launches his Charged Particle Cannon at Viola and launches another one between the Command Wolf and Shield Liger knocking them down. Raven attacks Van and Irvine, but it proves too much for our young heroes. His zoid is much stronger than any of theirs. The Shield Liger's ultimate move had no effect against the Charged Particle Cannon. Rosso and Viola show up in the Iron Kong and try to hold off Raven so that Van could escape. Raven destroys the Iron Kong and then stops his pursuit of Van and Rudolph. He said it would be more challenging if he gave them a head start.

After barely escaping from Raven, Van and the rest find some shelter. Rudolph wakes up and was having a bad dream and wonders if he will ever get back home. Later that morning, Rudolph asks if they could take him to Guygalos and teach him how to pilot a zoid. At the palace, Minister Prozen is sending out search parties and they are still looking for the prince as he explains to Prime Minister Homalef. A whole herd of Rev Raptors and Redlers are searching for the prince, but were taken down by Raven and his Geno Saurer. Van starts teaching Rudolph how to pilot a zoid properly but Rudolph needs more practice. Then he gives Rudolph some special zoid pilot training. They find a bunch of Imperial Redlers with their Zoid Cores ripped out and Dr. D believes the Death Saurer was responsible for the damage and ruins of the Redlers. Dr. D tells everyone about the Legend of Beast of Destruction, the Death Saurer. It goes: One Death Saurer, destroyed a platoon of 1,000 zoids and wiped out a whole nation in one night. They figured that Raven has the Death Saurer, and is using its power to destroy the Redlers. In the middle of the night, Van could not sleep because of the Death Saurer and Rudolph was about to run away. He was stopped as Van stood in his way. They also find out that Rudolph is the next in line for the imperial throne. Rudolph also tells about the ambitions that Prozen has to rule the empire and take control of it. Shadow, Raven's black organoid, shows up and kidnaps Rudolph. Then Rev Raptors show up, dozens of them. Irvine gets in his Command Wolf and Moonbay gets in the Gustav and takes them on. While Van goes after Raven, he learns that Raven's new zoid is a Geno Saurer not a Death Saurer. Raven takes Van on and in a couple of minutes, with the Charged Particle Gun, Raven blows the Shield Liger's core into smithereens. Fortunately, Zeke escapes with Van, but the main point was that the Shield Liger had drawn its last breath.

Meanwhile, Van demands an explanation for what's happening to the Shield Liger. He finds out that Fiona and Zeke are still inside and he tries running into it but gets thrown away by the massive energy that was being put out. Van then runs off because he wanted Zeke to choose him, and wondered why he chose Fiona instead.

Denis was given the Red Guysack, to keep an eye on Van, and do whatever is necessary to keep him away from the Whirlwind of Light. Meanwhile, Stinger makes a plan, in which the 2 remaining Dark Horns will attack him in order to fool Moonbay and the others so they would trust him. In return he would poison their food so they would be paralyzed for a number of days. His plan works perfectly, except Rudolph does not drink the soup he just gets caught. At the ruins, Van starts to hear Fiona's voice and she gives him a message to go back, while on the move Van is caught off guard by the Red Guysack.

After defeating Stinger, and his Saber Fang Stinger Special, Van and the rest continue their journey to Guygalos. Metelinick gives Minister Prozen, the Ring of Guylos. Then Van and the guys are talking about how they are going to get Rudolph back to Guygalos. Stinger makes it to a bar in a village, where he tells the Crossbow Brothers to immediately make their way over to where Van and the rest of the gang are in Desert Heldigunners. Dr. D finds out Fiona is an Ancient Zoidian, a lost race of people that were thought to be wiped out a long time ago by the Death Saurer. Meanwhile, Raven is heading off to destroy another fortress of the Republican Army. At the palace, Minister Prozen announces to everyone Rudolph has been assassinated by an elite squadron of Republican forces and then takes the throne. Raven attacks with the Geno Saurer and the fortress responds with several Gordos, but Raven was unharmed, and within 3 minutes the base in complete ruin. Then the cores of the zoids were ripped out and taken away. Moonbay and the others were traveling, as the Desert Heldigunners under the command of the Crossbow Brothers take out Zeke but Zeke escapes and fuses with the Blade Liger. The Command Wolf was attacked by the mini-blades on the tails of the Desert Heldigunners. Van takes them out with ease using the combination of the booster and blade attack. Meanwhile, at Prozan's Ancient Ruin Study Lab, they put in some Zoid Cores to awaken the Death Saurer.
After taking out the Desert Heldigunners and getting Zeke back safe and sound, Van and the rest are trying to make it to the capital without any of the Imperials spotting him. Moonbay and the others are making their way through a village a called Light Town, where they learn Prozen has announced Rudolph is dead. Then, if that was not bad enough, they have a road block set up just in case Van and the others run by. They come up with a plan to smuggle Rudolph past Light Town and into the heart of Imperial territory. Moonbay and Fiona are in the Gustav, while Irvine, Rudolph, Van and Zeke are making their way past the mountains on foot. Moonbay decides to act like she's getting married and succeeds after lying half a dozen times. Later, the soldier in command finds out they were being tricked, and Irvine, Rudolph, Van and Zeke were on foot making their way through the mountains. Irvine hears the engine of maybe two or three Redlers in the vicinity and tells them to be very cautious. The Redlers deploy things called “Realgas.” As Irvine was warning the guys, Rudolph falls down the cliff onto a smaller cliff. Van, Irvine and Zeke rescue Rudolph, but they could not use Zeke's thrusters because it might cause a landslide which may also give away the location of where they are at. They eventually get caught by the Realgas and are put in a cell here they are taking pictures of them. Moonbay gets stuck in the desert because her gets caught in a sticky situation. Later at night, after Van, Irvine, and Rudolph are trapped inside a cage, they are rescued by the same guy that Van had helped in New Helic City. They go back for Zeke and are spotted, they start running and the guy gets them out. Van and Irvine along with Rudolph and Zeke make it out there. While the soldier makes his own tracks and plunges into the river and makes it to freedom. Just as they thought they were in the clear, a whole herd of Rev Raptors were pursuing them and Moonbay had just arrived at the location. Van and Zeke make it into the Blade Liger, and they completely annihilate all the Rev Raptors.
After they made it out of the treacherous mountains, Irvine and Van are traveling somewhere. Where they have a flash back about what happened up to the point. Rudolph was dressed up as a girl called Ramona to hide his true identity. Van finds out bandits here, dressed as Imperial soldiers, are robbing the village of everything and bring the cost of food up. Back to reality, Van and Irvine were still traveling and Irvine has two flashbacks, one where it was long ago maybe ten or fifteen years ago, Irvine had sister named Helena. The second flashback consists of Irvine and Moonbay running away from some soldiers, who are thinking they are and its. They go off and hide in a church where Sister Alena sticks a gun at Moonbay and Irvine. Van and the rest find out much about the really sick kids are being infected by a disease called Gafki-Carl Fever, but the only problem is the vaccine was taken by some bandits. While staring at the boy Peter, who is comforting his sisters hands, Irvine recalls himself in Peter's location and Helena in Rosa's place. Irvine volunteers to get the vaccine back. He also tell Van the story about his sister and he she died because of Gafki-Carl Fever. They make it to the bandits territory and the plan is Van will draw them out and keep them engaged in battle until Irvine can sneak in and get the vaccine. Van faces off against Rev Raptors and destroys most of them. Then Irvine makes it into the base and starts looking for the vaccine. Then the Red Horns start charging out, and attacking Van. Knowing Van, he over does it and makes everyone retreat into the hideout. The Red Horn leader finally learns what their objective was attacking their fortress. He launches a missile at Irvine, but Van and the Blade Liger, intercept it. Irvine gets in the Command Wolf and leaves but is caught by surprise by a Rev Rapter. Van comes around after he wasted the bandits in their territory and picks Irvine up and makes it back in enough time to give them the vaccine. Meanwhile, Raven had taken out another fortress with a bunch of Gordos.

Meanwhile, Van and the others are traveling towards Guygalos City. Van and Irvine have a fight about which route to take, which ends up with Irvine strangling Van. After a long discussion, they decide to split up, with Irvine, Moonbay, and Rudolph taking the long but safe route, and Van, Fiona, and Zeke taking the shorter route that has one Imperial base along the way. They split up, and shortly after that, it turns out that Rudolph snuck into the Blade Liger so he could go with Van. At the Imperial base along Van's path, Major Karl Schubaltz is training with three black Redlers. He does some impressive maneuvering and shooting in his modified Saber Fang. Later, he and some other Imperial officer are talking about Prozen and what they think about the Empire. Then they go into the base, where they detect Van's Blade Liger running along in the distance. Karl recognizes Zeke from when Van, in the Shield Liger, and the organoid ran past him in a battle. Black Redlers are sent out to attack Van, and Fiona manages to contact the base. Rudolph talks to them, and Karl, being the only smart person in the ENTIRE Imperial army, recognizes that Rudolph is not a fake. Rudolph remembers Karl, and they start talking, but the rest of the Imperial officers still think he's a fake. They cut off the transmission and seize Karl to restrain him. Meanwhile, Irvine and Moonbay wonder if Van and the others are alright, and Raven destroys some more zoids and moves deeper into Republican territory. Shadow sees something in the sky, which turns out to be the two Storm Sworders from before. The two pilots, which are really Rosso and Viola, get a transmission from Dr. D and the Republican officers telling them to come back, but they turn off their radios and basically steal the two zoids. They then fly off at top speed to find Rudolph. Van's trying the best he can to fight the black Redlers, but he's not doing to well. Fiona tells him that they should seek cover in the forest, so Van heads for it. Zeke gets hit while trying to follow, and Van stops to go back for him. Then three Redlers are about to attack him head-on, but another one tries to attack Van from behind. When it's about to hit him, it gets shot down by none other than the two Storm Sworders. The two pilots introduce themselves as the heroes of the sky, and then proceed to tear up all the Redlers. Van runs away, followed by the two Storm Sworders, who contact Van and ask him if Rudolph is okay. Van and the others do not recognize the two pilots, even though it's obvious who they are. The Imperial officers at the base want to go after Van, but Karl breaks away and hits the self-destruct button for the base, letting Van get away. Van then meets up with Irvine and Moonbay, and Irvine says that he was right and Van was wrong because Van was attacked on the route he took, so now they have to go where Irvine thinks they should. Van does not agree so Irvine starts to strangle him again.
Van and the gang are being chased by Captain Sephers' unit, and then McMahon a very wealthy man rescues them. He takes them back to his mansion, where Moonbay finds out that it was him. McMahon discusses the best strategy to get the Prince back to the castle. Later, Captain Sephers shows his ugly face again, and this time, he points a gun at McMahon and tells him that they will search his house. McMahon tells him that they will not and that they will leave immediately. After Sephers leaves, Moonbay puts on a dress that McMahon had given to her and they had one final dance. Then Van makes a decision that would benefit Moonbay, by leaving her at the mansion with McMahon. Just when Van and Irvine are about to leave, Moonbay shows up. Then they have a little talk until Captain Sephers' unit arrives. The come and tell McMahon that he had better hand over the impostors or would take in McMahon too. Then McMahon brings out his specially equipped Dark Horns with two 70 mm cannons. He knocks out almost all of the ground troops.

He analyzed all the aspects of the Geno Breaker, for example, it has a window of 1:05 seconds before it can recharge after the first Particle Beam. It also needs 5.33 seconds to charge the Particle Beam. In their strategy, they want to neutralize the foot locks of the Geno Breaker so it can not fire its Particle Beam. But what he does not realize is the Geno Breaker can fire from the air as well, it can use it thrusters mounted on the back, where the Pulse Laser Cannons used to be, and boost and it would not need a recoil because its in the air.

Moonbay tries to test the boosters out on her Gustav to see how they would work, but it did not work at all, it took the Gustav all over the place.
