"0)}The Blue Devil" "Check it out." "They've got a Guysack working down there." "And that Gordos over there is equipped with a power thriver." "It's so cool!" "I wish I could go for a ride in one of those." "Incredible!" "but we have to be careful." "I mean I never would have thought there would be this many stone tablets buried down here." "Well I guess it's just lucky for us that the earthquake a few days ago opened up these ruins." "this place might never have been discovered." "It's like the ancient Zoidians left us a mysterious message." "Captain O'Connell." "Could this memo finally know the identity of the Zoid Eve?" "We'll have to wait till our experts get here and study this before we know for sure." "Our experts?" "Are you talking about Doctor D?" "No." "One of his most competent assistants." "And her very dependable body guard." "Hello." "Today is another blue sky day here in the open road." "Doctor D?" "Time passes so quickly." "It's hard to believe that it has been a month since Van and I were reunited and embarked on this journey." "Van is pretty much the usual." "He is as hot headed as ever." "But still kind and gentle." "Sometimes I feel like he is growing up and becoming tougher." "But I guess that's to be expected." "it only makes sense that he would become a more mature pilot." "a more mature person." "Of course I'd like to think that I've done some growing up too." "Quite a bit compared to when I first met Van." "Back when I didn't even know my own name." "Or anything else. will I still be able to continue on this journey with Van?" "I wonder whether finding the Zoid Eve and getting all the answers to everything is really the path toward my own happiness." "For some reason I've started having these doubts." "Sargent Taylor." "Have you been able to contact the security force at point S2-N3?" "sir." "I'm not getting a response." "It's as though the entire force withdrew from the town and abandoned us here." "You know that's completely ridiculous." "Keep trying to get a hold of them." "Don't stop until you get a response." "What's the matter?" "I don't know!" "There's something..." "Hey!" "Hey!" "What's wrong?" "Taylor?" "!" "What's going on with all the systems?" "All preparations are now set." "That's strange." "No response on any of the communication lines." "Fiine!" "What's going on in town?" "Nothing is going on." "Nothing?" "I don't see anyone at all in the town." "And there's no sign of Captain O'Connell's group or any of their Zoids." "Hear that." "That's gotta be someone in that town if that bell is ringing." "I guess." "But something is off." "Gordos?" "Fiine!" "Get out of there!" "shoot already." "What was that?" "Damn." "Why would an unmanned Zoid attack like that?" "And what was that image I saw?" "That's strange." "This place is like a ghost town." "What's this?" "Come on." "Don't be afraid." "It was nothing more than a bug." "Bug?" "I'll go up there to find out what's in the top of those stairs." "stop!" "You..." "Do you have any idea where everybody else is?" "Why are we hiding in here anyway?" "Is there anyone else around?" "Come on!" "Say something!" "Can't you see she is scared?" "She must have gone through quite a terrible ordeal." "Whatever happened here obviously left her speechless and in a complete state of chock." "Now that we're here you don't have to be afraid anymore." "Don't worry." "We just wanna find out what's going on here." "What's this?" "The mobilization systems and all these Zoids are completely frozen." "How could something like that have happened to this many Zoids?" "I don't know." "All I can say is that whoever attacked this town must have used some kind of special tactical weaponry." "I'm also picking up a trace of the transmission from O'Connell's unit." "It looks like it was transmitted from inside the forest." "Probably from the underground ruins we were sent to investigate." "so now..." "We investigate." "That's it then." "You're gonna start fighting again." "The war has been over for a long time." "So why do you still feel the need to keep fighting?" "Is it the Zoid Eve?" "Is it because of the ancient memories that I might have?" "Is that why you're..." "Fiine!" "This was drawn by a child who survived the war." "but somebody has got to protect these people. deserves no sympathy and will receive no mercy." "I'm scared." "but I feel really worried about something." "you two stay here and take care of each other." "all right?" "Van..." "This is..." "It looks like it has been stripped bear." "Or maybe it was the enemy's objective to destroy this place from the beginning." "Isn't that what you have really been hoping for?" "That the Zoid Eve will remain undiscovered for all eternity?" "Who is there?" "Come on." "It's time to go." "Come with me and I will fulfill your wish." "Fulfill... my wish?" "Damn!" "They must be responsible for what happened to the town." "Hope this works!" "Captain O'Connell!" "You actually want to escape everything. you're bringing misfortune to everyone who care about you." "You're a remnant of a doomed race." "that will be no end to war." "And as long as he's with you Van will continue to fight." "And eventually he will lose." "I bring... misfortune to Van." "He's already completely aware of that." "That's why..." "He has started to think that he would rather not have you around anymore." "Captain O'Connell." "Tell me what happened." "Somehow..." "She gets inside your head." "And drives you mad." "Gets inside your head." "It's a blue devil that takes the form of a young girl." "With piercing expressionless... cold eyes..." "Piercing expressionless?" "no." "Where are you?" "Give it up." "You know you want to." "You see Fiine as a burden anyway." "Not true!" "I don't think Fiine as a burden." "But then..." "Why would you see that image in your mind?" "What?" "!" "That is what you secretly hope for." "Because you know she's holding you back." "and that's what you want." "Stop it!" "You're wrong!" "Admit it." "You see Fiine as a burden." "Never!" "Not true!" "I've been waiting for you." "So it was you all along." "You are way too easy to figure out." "Your body is tough but invading you mind was as easy as reading a open book." "Tell me where Fiine is!" "Or I'll..." "You're in no position to threaten me or make demands." "The only thing that gives you real power is your Organoid." "As you can see I have an Organoid of my own." "Specular!" "Double Sworder!" "My blue Organoid Specular is truly one of a kind." "drying up the full potential of its combat capabilities." "Watch this." "So as you can see I can take any regular Zoid and turn it into the ultimate combat machine." "Do you really believe you can run from that?" "I've beaten worse than that." "huh?" "Now you'll know the full potential of my Zoid!" "It looks like those insects are emitting some kind of signal." "Now you won't be able to move." "you still don't know my Blade Liger." "What?" "!" "Now you won't be able to call anymore of your bugs." "Not done yet." "I can do funny things like this." "No way!" "I thought they all their systems freeze!" "How does it feel to be attacked by the Zoids of your own comrades?" "I have to get out of their firing range." "Damn!" "I hit them and they didn't go down. you're way to easy to figure out." "Oh yeah?" "Now he wants to destroy the bell." "He is so predictable." "What now?" "Go ahead and shoot. you will destroy more than the bell." "Or maybe that's what you really want to do." "Come on." "You know you wanna do it." "Run away!" "Don't worry about me." "Run away! I'll never abandon you!" "I could never do that." "You gotta trust me." "There's no way you can overcome the power of my psycho waves!" "Van!" "Fire now!" "I don't believe it." "Let's go!" "So you weren't worried at all?" "With my head scrambled my aim could have been off." "the thought did cross my mind." "But..." "But?" "I kept my faith in you." "Because you've never let me down before." "Thank you. the ancient stone tablets that were discovered here were completely destroyed." "And even after everything we went through we weren't able to get any new leads on the Zoid Eve." "But I am determined to find it one day." "I know I can't move forward unless I face it head on." "Otherwise the questions will always remain." "it looks like it's time to hit the open road once again." "I hope you're well." "Bye for now!" "I know it's hard for you to believe that your Psycho Scrambler wouldn't work on them." "But that's exactly why I told you." "don't underestimate Van Freiheit." "Think of this as us getting to know each other in the first round." "I'll let it go." "In any case..." "The only thing waiting for them out there is total annihilation." "86)}Preview" "Hello!" "Van here." "Sieg?" "Ambient." "Hang on a second!" "Don't shoot." "anyway?" "Schubaltz?" "Did you say Schubaltz?" "Since when does Schubaltz use a medium artillery Dibison?" "Zoids episode 38:" "The Steel Bison." "The Steel Bison" "See you on the battlefield."
