"We went to Metlenick's camp to rescue Rudolph and somehow managed to get him out of there." "But in the meantime Raven ended up destroying my Shield Liger and unfortunately there's just nothing we can do about it." "0}A Voice From Apart" "Anyone got an explanation for this?" "!" "It looks like some kind of whirlwind of light." "no doubt." "A monster!" "0" "Doctor D!" "Prince Rudolph." "I'm glad to see you're well." "I was held hostage but Van and Irvine rescued me." "they do a lot of that." "granps." "Do we have to grill you for answers or you're gonna explain me outfit?" "I've never seen anything like that whirlwind of light." "I figured I'd better done the special protective suit and investigate the inside of the whirlwind." "Whatever." "Now skip to the part where you tell us what happened while we were gone." "Why is this happening to my Liger and what are we gonna do about it?" "It has to do with Fiine and Sieg." "this whole thing started to turn sourer the second they got into the Shield Liger." "Fiine and Sieg..." "They're trapped inside that light?" "have you?" "Don't tell me you're actually taking a nap with all this going on?" "Not exactly." "She was a little careless and got too close to the light and before she knew it" "Van!" "that's pretty much what happened to Moonbay." "I see." "you've gotta let me borrow this special cloth." "and bring them back to safety." "Forget it." "I've been inside the light and even if you did have this suit on you wouldn't get anywhere near the core." "The best we can do for them right now is to stay calm and wait." "but based on what I've seen so far" "I believe that Sieg could be trying to resurrect the Shield Liger." "Sieg is trying to resurrect the Shield Liger?" "Are you for real?" "And Fiine seems to be playing an important role in all of this." "Van!" "No!" "Are you alright?" "redefine success." "Why couldn't it have been me?" "and Sieg really is trying to resurrect the Shield Liger then why wouldn't he do it with me instead of Fiine?" "Why did the choose Fiine to help him and not me?" "but I'm sure he had his reasons." "He doesn't have any reasons!" "Why would he do something like this without me?" "altogether!" "That's pathetic." "Say what?" "!" "kid." "Wake up!" "Thanks for your support!" "you know better than anyone that Organoids have powers and abilities we humans can't begin to understand." "but at the end of the day- people!" "This isn't about machines or science that stuff can rot as far as I'm concerned." "Sieg is the best buddy I ever had." "And I don't wanna lose him!" "Or Fiine." "They're my best friends." "That's the only thing that matters here." "My two best friends are both caught in this whirlwind of light." "You can't..." "You can't expect me to just sit here and do nothing." "Van!" "Let him go." "Why are you stopping me?" "and he needs our help right now." "That's why we gotta give him some time on his own." "How come?" "Listen." "Van's gotta a lot of things to think about and figure out on his own." "And if the can't come up with any answers than there is no point in continuing with the journey." "Irvine..." "How are the repairs coming along?" "All done yet?" "sir." "but that's just part of the problem." "It will take at least a week or so to get this Zoid operating" "Damn." "It's imperative that Rudolph doesn't make it back to Guygalos." "you can be sure that Prozen will have our heads in a platter." "What do you want?" "Perhaps I can lend a hand?" "Who's there?" "A Guysack!" "Did we get him?" "But you gotta work on those welcoming techniques." "What?" "!" "But we ...!" "don't you think?" "Damn." "This thing is getting old." "Pretty fast for a Guysack." "What?" "They didn't explode." "Where is all this smoke coming from?" "huh?" "It will have your arms and legs good and numb for at least an hour or so." "much like hand a weapon!" "Bastard." "Who are you?" "Stinger." "Huh?" "Stinger?" "Sounds like you're coming down with something." "I see my reputation proceeds me." "There are many who haven't heard of you." "evil mercenary who goes by the name "The Fisherman"." "pal." "Oh.. sure." "boys" "I understand you're trying to assassinate the crowned prince Rudolph." "maybe even take all that cock gang of punks with the Organoid." "Never heard of him." "What do you know about it?" "Give me a break." "The trick to surviving in the underworld is being able to get information quicker than anybody else." "Or hadn't you heard that?" "I'll take a seventy percent cut." "And that way you boys can avoid getting sent to the salt lines." "You're a lucky guy." "It's a good deal." "Mister Metlenick..." "Van... old man?" "Are Sieg and Fiine still alive in there or what?" "granps?" "young man." "I see." "I'm sure he will be able to see them again." "Like a miracle?" "Doesn't sound like something a scientist would say." "Ha!" "Science moves forward precisely because we believe in miracles." "That's the prince." "That guy is really starting to bother me." "What a coincidence." "These look just like the ruins near my hometown." "but this time was different." "Cause this was the day I first met Sieg." "I knew as soon as I saw him that Sieg had been waiting for me discover him." "He was born from the pot on that day because we were destined to be partners." "And Fiine too." "At least that's what I thought back then." "Sieg and I were always together we never lost." "It was awesome." "that I thought I was gonna become one of the greatest Zoid pilots ever." "I felt so sure of it." "Here I was thinking I was the master." "The truth is I never knew a single thing about Sieg or Fiine." "And actually I took them both for granted." "I didn't know them at all." "Van!" "Nice face plant." "Rudolph!" "let alone out in the desert." "So will you teach me?" "Don't tell me you forgot about that promise you made to me." "You said that you'd teach me how to become a pilot." "but I didn't mean... seeing as it is out commission at least for now." "But I've been thinking that if you could teach me how to ride a hover board as well as you do then those skills might help me later on when I become a Zoid pilot." "but I can't." "I'm just not good enough to teach you anything." "Van..." "Liger wouldn't be in the shape he is right now." "How can I think of teaching someone to pilot when I can't even keep my own Zoid out of danger?" "I want you to teach me." "I said I can't!" "My days of piloting Zoids are over." "I'll never ever pilot a Zoid again!" "I can't believe that." "The two friends I trusted more than anyone on the world have abandoned me." "How could anyone understand how I feel?" "Sieg and Fiine probably didn't even think about how I felt." "Find them in the ruins that day was just a huge coincidence." "It wasn't destiny or fate!" "but obviously they didn't feel the same way about me." "Weakling." "just a spineless weakling." "Rudolph?" "do you remember that Van?" "You taught me how to stand up and face my obstacles that's the Van I used to care about and admire." "Say goodbye to him if you ever run into him again." "Rudolph..." "Rudolph is alone." "Now is the time to make the hit." "Wait." "and make sure we are alone." "A Command Wolf just entered the area." "All right." "Rodo and I will carry out the plan according to Stinger's commands." "you stand by and keep a watch on that Van kid." "If he tries to get back to his friends I'll do whatever it takes to stop him." "I take it." "You got it." "That's why he lent you the Red Guysack." "Just make sure you don't mess up." "Roger that." "I thought I'd better come look for you before you got stuck out here for the night." "Sorry I took off so sudden." "I was just worried about Van." "Come on." "Let's get back before dinner time." "OK." "Give me a break." "How convenient that everyone wonders off when there's work to be done." "Even that old man Doctor D is gone missing." "Man are such wimps." "I will never understand them!" "How is a girl supposed to crack a joke and deal with these bathoons without someone like Fiine around to laugh it off with." "And that's enough already!" "Come on out of there!" "I don't usually interfere like this." "But you could use some lessons in fair flight!" "Hard then?" "are you?" "No." "I own you a big time." "Sure thing." "You saved my life." "any superhero would have done the same thing in my shoes." "Shouldn't we get to know each other first." "I beg you." "no prob." "How about staying for dinner?" "we can talk under the stars and break bread." "There's nothing that I'd enjoy more." "So now even Rudolph's turned against me." "Figure seen as I told him I'd gonna pilot a Zoid again." "What was I thinking?" "Saying something like that to the poor like kid..." "Van." "Thanks." "I hate what you've become." "Am I hearing things?" "!" "Or was that Fiine?" "I'm hallucinating." "Must be hungry." "Listen stomach." "but I don't need you putting Fiine's voice in my head." "Van..." "I'm right here." "Fiine!" "is that really you?" "it's Fiine." "remember?" "Fiine!" "Where are you?" "Inside that whirlwind of light?" "Is Sieg there with you?" "I can see stars." "Stars?" "Very beautiful stars." "But..." "They're..." "What?" "Tell me!" "I'm afraid." "Van!" "Fiine!" "Fiine!" "Must have dreamed the whole thing." "Did you have a nice time?" "Dinner is all ready and waiting for you." "Moonbay." "Come up with some new garage quick scheme or what?" "Irvine." "Do you think you could maybe do something about that smell before dinner?" "Wouldn't wanna scare our guest away." "A guest?" "why don't we just pound him and get this over with?" "Instead of carrying out the charade hour after hour." "I've heard all the talk and rumors about this Stinger guy." "Why do you think people insist in calling him "The Fisherman"?" "comes easier to him than shooting fish in the barrel." "Dennis?" "The kid is making a move." "I'll stop him." "No way!" "There's no way that could have been an halucination." "Fiine was trying to tell me something." "I've gotta figure out what it is and act on it." "They are probably gonna bug me when I tell them what happened back there." "But they can't accuse me of being the kind of guy who just sits around waiting for stuff to happen." "What's with that shining light over there?" "Who is there?" "that thing?" "to tell the truth." "It sure is beautiful to watch." "who does your make up?" "Do you like it?" "princess?" "Funny." "You don't have a scratch on you." "That's weird." "well..." "Irvine." "There's nothing wrong with the guy who wants to get in touch with his feminine side." "It ain't natural!" "whatever." "Just eat up before the soup gets cold." "Rudolph." "it might be a little too hot." "Don't you sit there like an oaf!" "You could have passed the soup around." "Here you go." "Thanks." "What was that for?" "!" "Did you miss me?" "Cause I've been looking forward for this day!" "Moonbay!" "What's this guy story?" "Why is he coming after me?" "!" "Something is wrong..." "I don't feel very good..." "Damn..." "I should have known." "You put something in the soup." "You'll be paralyzed for the rest of the night." "Why would you do that?" "Why else?" "It's quite elementary." "I simply did it to finish you off" "Prince Rudolph." "this guy does seem kind of familiar." "But this Guysack is way faster!" "Sorry it's gotta end this way." "But somethings are just meant to be!" "Soup too hot for you?" "I wouldn't have to make you suffer like I'm about to." "Seen as I've spent so much time reeling you in." "I might as well enjoy the fight." "you little snut!" "Rudolph!" "Run for it!" "Come on!" "Let me go!" "No fair!" "My friends are always getting into so much trouble because of me." "Your Highness." "Give it up." "Help me." "you guys." "Van!" "Van!" "What?"
