"Any sign of those two yet?" "Captain Hermann!" "Heroes of the Sky" "I'm glad you're here." "We're all counting on you." "The very course of our history is in your hands." "sir." "Just leave everything in the hands of the Ala Barone." "Catch you later." "Bye for now." "May the wind be at their backs." "Yes." "But are you certain that we can trust them with our Storm Sworders?" "No need to be so worried." "Those two are proud warriors." "We leave the next era in their capable hands." "It's a good thing we rescued them." "Go!" "If we follow this road it will take us the long way around to Guygalos." "so that should be our safest bet." "But what about this road here? but if I remember correctly there is an Imperial Base along that road." "That's right." "There is in fact a small air base by the name of "Ebany" around here." "they only have two Redlers at that particular base." "That's not really much of a base." "Well... you know Van?" "Then I think we should take this shorter road after all." "It's not like we're gonna have to worry about two Redlers." "use you head for change." "What? so it's better to play it safe." "You don't really have to worry so much about me." "It could be a good thing if we got their attention." "Because that way Prozen might actually have some pressure put on." "That guy won't feel any pressure if we end up getting caught like fish in a barrel." "Then it won't matter how many lives we have. have you ever even fought a battle against an Imperial Redler that's fully loaded and combat ready?" "I've never fought against one." "But at least I'm not afraid to try." "What?" "Irvine." "What?" "I've had all I'm gonna take your cocky attitude." "Why don't you run home and cry to mommy?" "You big whimpy boy." "you little melon head." "You never see the big picture." "You figure you can always charge into anything with guts." "I have an idea." "Why don't we set up a challenge to see which one of you is right?" "The first one of you to get to a set gold point is the winner of the challenge." "And which ever one of you two wins will get to set the course for the rest of the way." "whimpy!" "That sounds like a plan." "Hey." "it doesn't sound like a bad plan." "And it's not like you're definitely going to get spot at anyway." "you can't be serious." "It's decided then." "So who wants to go on a adventure with me?" " I do!" " I do!" "Rudolph." "You're coming along with us." "right?" "Right. unless you're being chased by the Imperial Army." "You got that?" "OK." "I don't like the look on those clouds." "if it were to rain the mountain roads will be tougher on them." "we won't lose to Van." "That's it!" "We're gonna win this thing." "I'll keep my fingers crossed." "I'll cross my fingers too." "What are you doing here with us?" "Why shouldn't I come along?" "I'd much rather go on a adventure with you." "but..." "Moonbay is not gonna be happy with us." "Then why did you let him on?" "This is Ralph calling Schubaltz." "Do you read me?" "Yes." "I hear you loud and clear." " We're proceeding into attack formation." " Roger." "men." "Don't let your guard down." "Schubaltz's Saber Fanger use his cannons." "I copy." "I copy." "That's Major Schubaltz for you." "He's keeping the canyon wall at his back for limiting our firing options." "I see." "Both the maneuverability and the armor of those Redlers are quite superior to that of models I've seen before." "Let's see." "Against that speed I'm sure even radio guided fire would be ineffective." "Gotcha!" "No way!" "That high?" "but that counts as a strike." "Schubaltz." "Looks like you're out of the game too." "you got me alright." "We'll end the exercise here." "Ralph out." "Roger." "Schubaltz." "But thanks for your help with the exercise." "Don't worry about it." "I have plenty of free time these days." "Probably your first since officer's academy." "Yeah." "It's magnificent..." "It is." "The best part of it is now that the Isenback Unit is under the direct command of Lord Prozen." "That means will be getting a lot more of those Black Redlers in the near future." "Lord Prozen's command." "Until now the Imperial Air Force has been relying in the weaker regular Redlers." "Now things will be different." "With these Black Redlers we'll be able to lay waste on rebel territory." "I must admit that this new strategy clearly has its advantages." "But that's no justice in fighting a war that results in civilian suffering." "There's no such thing as justice during a war." "And there's no such thing as civilians among the rebels." "Sounds like you've been hanging around Prozen a bit too long." "and I don't care. who else should we as military officers swear our allegiance too?" "If you wanna continue to be a career soldier you're gonna have to adjust to the times." "That's some important advice." "and stick it up in my wall." "you haven't changed a bit." "Or maybe you've changed too quickly." "Perhaps it's time to get him out of the rain." "It's that the Imperial base over there?" "I'm sure of it." "Except..." "What is it?" "it actually looks a whole lot bigger than I remember it." "Huh?" "there are way more Redlers on the base than were used to be." "Holy Lieppen Liger!" "That's like a major unit!" "I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this." "Why did you tell me that?" "You know I hate when you get bad feelings." "The unidentified Zoid appears to be one that was carried by a Gustav at Light Town." "Can I get a confirmation?" "sir!" "I'm quite sure." "What's going on?" "You haven't heard?" "It seems the impostor who claims to be Prince Rudolph has suddenly appeared." "Crowned Prince Rudolph." "mobilize the Isenback Unit!" "we have a report from Ebany Air Base that the impostor is in the vicinity." "I only want to hear about this after the fact." "Only after we have a confirmed report that the impostor has been eliminated." "sir." "All units standing by." "Mobilize all units." "How pathetic." "That wasn't even close to a challenge." "Don't you agree?" "You must be bored." "Shadow?" "Come on." "We will have to go further into Republican territory to find a Zoid worth fighting." "This is Ala Barone from the Storm Sworder." "We're currently flying over Imperial air space." "This is Hermann at the Red River base." "Did you say you're over Imperial air space?" "The flight tests for the Storm Sworders are complete." "Return immediately!" "Calling Storm Sworder 1." "I've just intercepted a radio signal." "It was a ground communication saying that Prince Rudolph has been spotted near Ebany air base." "Good work." "can you hear me?" "Get back to the Red River base immediately!" "do you read me?" "sir." "return immediately!" "It's too dangerous for you to go any further into Imperial air space!" "I can't hear anything." "Ala Barone!" "Can you hear me?" "Ala Barone!" "Do you think they might be in trouble?" "They probably just found what they were looking for." "Are you sure about this?" "right?" "I guess that's right." "I mean It's not like we can show our faces to those kids at this point." "Prepare for a booster system test." "I copy that." "Booster ready." "Then let's do this thing." "Booster... on! but if we can this much there is no way we can save Rudolph." "These images are being sent from Isenback 4." "sir." "Could that be an Organoid?" "I got it." "So that must be the kid from that Shield Liger." "Except that Zoid isn't a Shield Liger." "Did he switch Zoids?" "these Redlers just don't give up." "This is all my fault." "All because I was wrong about this base." "Van!" "I'm the one they want." "Stop the chase and hand me over to them." "That's not an option for me." "Rudolph." "I opened a communications channel with the Imperial air base." "Thank you very much." "hang on there!" "This is Rudolph." "Please break off this attack immediately." "I'm prepared to come to you now if you just stop." "that is Prince Rudolph." "it's good to see you here alive and unharmed." "I was your trainer in the battle simulation course at Milital's Castle." "I'm Schubaltz." "Schubaltz?" "Are you really Major Schubaltz?" "Yes." "Thank goodness." "I'm so relieved that you're there." "There is so much I need to talk you about... what's the matter?" "Why am I no longer hearing the voice of His Royal Highness?" "you can't allow yourself to be tricked by the enemy's plot." "You gotta stop listening to this impostor's lies." "listen to me!" "He is not an impostor!" "That is the real crowned Prince Rudolph! Bastard!" "You know that he is the real Prince Rudolph and you're still attacking?" "Let go of me!" "Enough! Whether or not he is the real Rudolph doesn't matter." "He'll just end up interfering with the coronation of Lord Prozen as the new Emperor." "this child is no longer of any use to the Empire." "now!" "Yes!" "for the continuing glory of the Empire get rid of this pretender who takes the name of His Highness the crowned prince Rudolph." "sir." "Damn." "They're not the kind of people you can just talk to." "I can see that now." "don't you think it's time to fuse Sieg with the Liger?" "Can't do it." "Sieg would be an easy target and get picked off." "Van." "If we can get into the forest we will be safe." "Good plan!" "Ok." "make a run for that forest on the left." "pal." "Sieg!" "There's no way you're getting away from us." "Sieg!" "Sieg." "cause I'm through running!" "Van!" "Behind us!" "Brace yourselves!" "Do either of you know what just happened?" "W-What was that?" "We were attacked... from above!" "From above?" "Faded by the heavens we have the power to win." "you now face the Baron of Wings." "Ala Barone!" "At his side the Sword of Storms." "Feel free to attack me and my Storm Sworder if you dare!" "Who are those guys?" "They're Republican airborne Zoids!" "I know that!" "But where did they come from and why didn't we detected them before now?" "They came in way too fast from beyond our detection range!" "And they're still flying at speed significantly greater than that of the Black Redlers!" "I almost feel bad taking out these Redlers like this." "bye!" "Amazing." "Sieg!" "Sieg!" "That's it." "Let's go!" "You got another thing coming if you think for a second you can keep up with the speed of the Blade Liger." "Booster on!" "We can't keep up with it!" "It's pulling away from us!" "Impossible." "How can it be faster than a Redler?" "I can't explain it." "The rebel is in my sight." "What?" "!" "Catch you later." "We should be OK now that we're this far away from them." "This is Ala Barone." "I just wanna know if the prince is safe." "Who is that?" "Don't know." "Rudolph is safe." "But we were wondering just who you guys are exactly." "it's been a pleasure to assist you today." "Send out reinforcements." "We can't Rudolph or those Republican Zoids get away!" "We have their location." "Hang on!" "Were are the reinforcements?" "Move the Redler from coordinates B-17 to B-23." "Schubaltz!" "The emergency switch has been pressed." "All personnel evacuate immediately." "All personnel withdrawn from the base." "The base will self destruct." "you bastard." "My steem for guards could the heroes of the sky and the courageous souls from the ground." "Your Highness." "It really was an incredible adventure." "I'd say we're lucky to be alive." "I hate to brag but I knew this would happen." "won't you Van?" "Funny." "I don't remember agreeing to that." "you're not getting out of this one that easy." "Now if you just step into my office we will discuss our agreement." "you brute!" "Because of you Rudolph was in serious danger." "at least you guys are all alive and unharmed." "Catch you later." "Preview" "I am Fine." "Moonbay had a rich boyfriend called MacMan." "MacMan is nice enough to give us refuge." "with the sparkle in this teeth." "do you still have feelings for MacMan?" "Zoids episode 30:" "Moonbay's Waltz." "Moonbay's Waltz" "See you on the dance floor!"
