"and code number." "Colonel Karl Liechien Schubaltz." "I'm the chief of the First Panzer Division." "And my Zetta level security clearance code is Z82O77S83." "Your identity has been confirmed." "Colonel Schubaltz." "officer in charge of this facility." "It's nice to meet you." "Have you noticed anything abnormal at this base?" "How so?" "Yesterday our unity received a high priority emergency signal." "Which we must investigate." "And it was transmitted from here." "That's impossible." "There must be some mistake." "It would be fine if it were a mistake." "we received no response." "That's why I've had to come here directly to personally check on it." "The other day we began the process of dismantling the snow generation jamming device." "It could very well be that it resulted in some type of signal abnormally." "I see." "And have you already completed the high energy explosive disposal process?" "sir." "There's no need to worry." "What are you up to?" "you and I have been chosen." "We have been chosen?" "That's right." "To carry out the great mission of nothing less than the total rebirth of this world." "Have you lost your mind?" "0)}The Devil's Maze" "There's no mistaking it." "That symbol is the Mark 2 belonging to the Empire's First Panzer Division." "And that's Karl's unit." "So you're telling us that this base is really a facility where they dispose of the mass weaponry that was built up during the war." "And someone has taken over that facility?" "Come listen to this." "this is the message that was sent to military command." "A new world shall be born." "The preparations for that day are already complete." "May the flames of judgment spread all over the world." "do you recognize this?" "Yep." "There's no mistake." "It's her again." "I'm positive that's the voice of Captain Tsubaki." "A man that I used to know very well." "But he's not someone who would ever do something like this." "Everyone in that base is being psychologically manipulated." "But what did he mean by "the flames of judgment"?" "I've done a thermal scan of the interior of the base with BEEK." "It's become apparent to me that the temperature of the underground block is rapidly increasing." "I would say that all of the cooling system valves for the reactor have been closed." "The cooling system valves for the reactor closed?" "And what does that mean? it won't take long for the reactor to overload and cause an enormous explosion. it will also set off the 200 megatons worth of explosives being stored in that facility." "This is expected range of damage BEEK has calculated." "Wow!" "You've gotta be kidding." "I figure we have about two hours until the explosion." "The cooling system valves will have to be open before then or... the Empire..." "The better part of both of their respective territories will be completely destroyed in the aftermath of the explosion." "I want you to leave." "Thomas?" "and I don't want any interference from you." "Don't be a fool." "but we're both with the Guardian Force." "And means what we're trying to do here is not just some petty thing like defending the honor of our own countries." "no matter what side of the border they're on." "that's OK by me." "and don't mess things up." "You're the one that's always messing things up for me!" "Van." "There's something wrong with Lieutenant Schubaltz today." "And how is it different from any other day?" "I think that he has something very serious on his mind." "Something on his mind..." "The Imperial Army's First Panzer Division flag." "But that means..." "Colonel Schubaltz." "But looks like you broke chest in a nick of time." "do you?" "According to BEEK's calculations there are only two underground routes that will lead to the reactor." "and here." "It looks like the Blade Liger could pass through the first one..." "But the other one doesn't look much bigger than Sieg." "Then I guess the Dibison and the Blade Liger are just gonna have to head through there." "Of course the enemy will also know that's our only option." "Who knows what kind of traps have already been set?" "What else can we do?" "We'll split up into two groups here." "Going in separately is our best bet." "Attention." "The enemy will be coming soon." "Don't let them get to the reactor." "we'll fight them with all we have!" "Excellent." "That makes this the perfect time. but make sure you bring her back alive." "how is the BEEK mobile AI I lent you working out?" "Van!" "What's the matter?" "Not now!" "I can't even tell you how the machine works yet." "man!" "But I know it ain't helping me here." "Damn." "Sounds like something is coming after us." "They're coming to get me too." "Sleeper Molgas. 15 of them. please compute what the most effective tactic in this situation would be. then use the triple cannon to take them out three at a time." "I got it." "They're in range..." "Fire!" "Damn!" "They're too many!" "no more Mr. Nice Guy." "And now we charge through!" "Let's go!" "The current accuracy rate is approximately 98%." "And that's not bad at all." "Van." "How is it going on your end?" "can you hear me?" "I'm in the middle of something!" "You're taking too long." "Why do you think I lent you my BEEK mobile anyway?" "Get a better grasp of enemy movements and attack more efficiently!" "I'm the one on foot here!" "So do you think that those two are OK?" "They're always like this." "Huh?" "What's going on?" "buddy." "you OK?" "thanks." "See that?" "Aren't you glad I lent you the BEEK mobile AI now?" "but I had to do all the work." "how about giving credit where it's due?" "sometimes I think that maybe you rely too much on your machines." "why so quiet all of a sudden?" "It's nothing." "Let's keep going." "we meet again." "It's you again." "So you're the one behind this after all." "Please don't insult me by pretending you didn't already know that." "I'm pleased you're willing to play since blowing up this base without playing a little game first would have been boring." "The war is finally over and we have peace in the world." "So why would you possibly wanna do anything that makes people suffer?" "Hating each other is an unfortunate part of human nature." "ancient Zoidian." "Why you?" "!" "There's something seriously wrong with you if you think you're gonna get away with this." "Van will always fight against cowards like you who pray on human weakness." "Your friends aren't nearly as strong as you think they are." "I can see that you still don't quite believe me. as your dear friends fight until they destroy each other." "Thomas." "What's up? might actually be your brother?" "it's him." "I saw his flag when we got here." "When we were young he was better than me at everything." "From an early age he took on the burden of maintaining the honor of the family name." "He did well at everything." "He was strong and he was sharp." "Whether was in academics or the martial arts." "and nothing I did was able to change that." "Everyone would constantly praise my brother." "I was proud of him too." "But if there was one thing that I could take pride in it was my knowledge of machinery." "I was really curious as a kid." "I figure that if I could create some of the world's greatest machines one day I would be as respected as him." "I think I'm off to a pretty good start." "Is it getting dark in here? my brother still wouldn't recognize me as a worthy soldier." "He said that my biggest problem is that I rely only on machines and should learn not to." "I didn't mean to offend you when I said that earlier." "Van!" "Are you OK?" "What's going on there?" "What?" "But that is..." "Iron Kong Mark II." "My brother." "Watch this." "All the players have finally come together in the same place." "It's time for a game of brother against brother." "A game as old as time." "Karl!" "Can you hear me?" "Thomas!" "I don't know you." "What?" "!" "Colonel Schubaltz is being psychologically manipulated right now." "Hurry!" "Run away!" "Hurry up and get to the reactor." "I'll manage here somehow." "And what if you don't?" "This is between brothers." "Keep out of it." "get to the reactor." "Thomas..." "You..." "What's the matter?" "Aren't you gonna fight back?" "Then this will be the easiest victory of my life." "Not this time!" "The Zoid doesn't make any difference if the pilot is still immature." "What now?" "Your friend is gonna be out of the game pretty soon." "Maybe you should just give up now." "Shut up!" "Gotta be careful and try not to hurt any of these guys. ten." "All right." "Oh." "I've thought I got everybody." "You little pest." "Let's see how you do when you face me man to man!" "Sorry about... this!" "What?" "keep going." "This ain't over yet." "Get up." "I just wanna to let you know that the stakes have been raised." "don't worry about me." "Whatever happens you must stop the reactor from exploding now!" "Fiine is being held hostage?" "You won't get away with this!" "I'm your opponent." "just try to get your hands on me." "I know I need to counter attack." "damn you." "There's a strong electromagnetic signal being emitted from the control tower." "I'm sure that's where Fiine is." "But there's less than thirty minutes until the reactor explodes." "What should we do?" "A walking time bomb?" "And then there was one." "Damn." "it's time to finish him off." "This fight is over." "This face will soon be nothing more than a memory." "I've decided that it will be more fun to keep you around." "You will evacuate with me." "I'm not going with you." "I'm waiting right here until Van comes to get me." "You fool." "You saw what happened to him with your own two..." "No!" "The psycho wave amplification system!" "Where am I?" "How dare you!" "I would have taken you with me! Somehow the enemy has taken control of the Iron Kong again." "please fire. are you OK? Thomas." "What are you saying?" "Didn't you hear me?" "I'm ordering you to take out the Iron Kong and get on with your mission! You're a good soldier." "What?" "!" "It's impossible." "Looks I made it here just in time to pick you up." "but it was a good move." "You managed to stop the Iron Kong in a nick of time." "Karl." "You're right." "How could you possibly have survived that explosion?" "!" "I have a friend that I can depend on." "It looks like it's time for you to give it up." "Now!" "I'm not so sure about that." "What?" "You're still doomed." "You'll never reach the reactor in time to stop it from blowing." "Stop!" "You can't waste time on her." "You have to stop the reactor overload." "I have a friend I can depend on." "Didn't you hear me?" "You mean Sieg!" "Miss Fiine!" "Are you all right?" "Miss Fiine." "I'm OK now that you're safe. but I was having a little trouble with my brother." "It really was a messy situation." "He says you were a messy situation." "This is just embarrassing." "it will never happen again." "I'll be there." "Prévia you were gifted with the genius of handling and piloting with superior skill. you were an extremely valuable asset to the Imperial Army. you were determined to fight me every chance you got." "To show me the overwhelming power you possessed. you and the Organoid Shadow disappeared in the explosion of the Geno Saurer." "Next time on Zoids:" "Raven." "Raven"
