"Come on out! but I'm gonna flush you out and deal with you." "I'm not impressed." "Someone is just playing games here." "I'm gonna show them what fools they are." "Lieutenant Gaal." "Who said that?" "You are an embarrassment to the Imperial Army." "You are ignorant and barbaric." "but you're too stupid." "That's why the verdict is going to be guilty." "Guilty!" "Guilty!" "Guilty!" "How dare you!" "Now who is the fool?" "Huh?" "Where did they go?" "I can give you something to worry about." "What?" "That's a monster!" "I'd like to introduce you to our executioner." "Its name is Cerberus." "Another one bites the dust." "324)}Cerberus" " Trinity Ghost?" " Never heard of it." "I don't believe it." "You call yourself a member of the Guardian Force and you've never heard of the Trinity Ghost?" "I haven't heard of it either." "you haven't." "This is highly confidential information known only by a select few within the Imperial Army." "So..." "Are you gonna tell me about this triple cheese toast name?" "it's the Trinity Ghost!" "It means three in one and one in three." "It's like the spirits of three people inhabiting one body." "It sounds kind of weird to me." "Fiine." "It is weird because over the past few days there have been a number of cases where Imperial Zoid pilots have been attacked while carrying out routine security details." "We believe these attacks were carried out by a mysterious group called the Trinity Ghost." "Do you think that Hiltz might be the one behind all of this?" "it's not really his style." "And this group doesn't appear to be as clever or intelligent as Hiltz." "They're definitely working out at a lower level." "What do you mean by "lower level"?" "their approach is immature and childish." "It's all just a game to them and we need to find them before they cause any serious damage." "I'm willing to state the reputation of the great Schubaltz name." "I guess you won't be needing us then." "Bye." "You do understand that the honor of the Guardian Force is at stake here as well." "Van?" "I'll do it." "Here is the defendant." "Thomas Richard Schubaltz." "He stands accused of showing us disrespect." "He is also accused of arrogantly believing that his man-made Organoid is a useful contribution to our society." "I think we have enough evidence to convict him." "Agreed." "We just need to set the date of his execution." "How about tonight?" "The gang calling themselves the Trinity Ghost always sends a verdict to their victims by data transmission prior to the attack." "Verdict?" "They hold a secret trial and hand down their verdict by using the military communications network." "What do they say in these verdicts?" "I've got one here." "It shows just how immature these guys are." "I'll bring it up on the screen for you." "What did those things mean?" "In the program when you open the file these 3D ghost characters read your verdict for you like a video game." "It's completely childish of course." "I think they're really cute." "The cutest I ever saw!" "Make up your mind. it's obvious that these guys see the whole thing as some kind of sick game where only they can win." "We can't let them get away with it forever." "Enough of the talk." "What do you want us to do about it?" "Why don't you let me think about that for a minute?" "I thought about it." "And what I want you to do is this." "You will wait for my instructions and don't do anything without me." "All right." "I get the picture." "would ya?" "confirm their position." "No response?" "We're at exactly the right place at the right time." "will you?" "Don't you tell me that." "I will not lose my cool and fall into their childish games." "What do you mean?" "Be quiet!" "Where are they?" "the least they could do is show up." "I know what it is." "They haven't showed up because they're afraid of me." "They realized how futile it would be to fight the great Thomas Richard Schubaltz." "they've withdrawn their verdict and disbanded." "Never to return!" "You are fool." "Megalomax!" "Fire!" "What have I done?" "That was too impetuous." "Blowing them into oblivion before they even attacked me?" "Watch my back?" "it's not." "It's right in front of me." "Can't you see?" "aim the weapon to the monster in front of us." "Quickly!" "Quickly!" "Cerberus." "Hey." "How are you feeling?" "What happened?" "You look awful." "Tell me about." "What do you want?" "Why you did that?" "Why you went out there on your own?" "You know you could have been killed by those triple cheese toast guys." "You don't have to rub it in." "And it's Trinity Ghost." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "I know it is." "I was just trying to see if I could make you smile." "it didn't work. and..." "Thomas." "Are you alright?" "Fiine!" "Of course I'm fine." "Specially now you're here." "What happened to your face?" "I messed up!" "Why did I allow myself to walk straight into a stupid trap like that?" "Thomas." "With your big and strong Dibison." "I guess these triple cheese toast guys are stronger than we thought." "it sure looks that way." "But it still doesn't seem right to me." "I'm positive there's something strange going on here." "What makes you say that?" "I remember wiping out three Saber Tigers in one shot." "Then the strangest thing happened." "I don't understand how three Saber Tigers could fuse together to form one giant Zoid." "It's almost mythological." "Do you think an Organoid could do that? I think Hitlz has got to be at the bottom of this." "I'm not convinced." "Why not?" "Thomas may have been right in the first place. there's still an amateur element about them." "But how do you explain the three headed monster? Van Freiheit." "You're next." "right?" "And where he saw the Saber Tigers transform into Cerberus." "Wind speed is 30 knots." "around the time of the attack the wind appeared to form into some sort of twister." "My guess is these windmills had something to do with causing that." "But the effect of twisters wasn't programmed into BEEK's simulations." "Van." "I don't remember Thomas ever teaching you how to use his special equipment." "Wait!" "It's found something." "We never would have found something as tiny as this on our own." "What is it?" "but I bet it's a clue." "What has the defendant been charged with?" "Heinz?" "And must take into account that Van Freiheit is currently our biggest obstacle to achieving success." "Why don't we send him a guilty verdict stating that we have decided on the ultimate punishment?" "Vash Cuyor Academy." "This was Thomas' university." "There is a team of researchers here who focus on creating new weapons for the Imperial Army." "Over 70% of the weapons currently used by the army were developed here." "So it's like they're the brains of the Imperial Army." "Amazing!" "Me want you!" "I would give anything to get into that cockpit." "Van." "Am I right in guessing you wanna test of this equipment out on your Blade Liger?" "Of course I do." "maybe all this extra equipment isn't really necessary for a Zoid." "Remember that a Zoid is alive. but the equipment must be as well." "Just because you improve the equipment doesn't necessarily mean you make it tougher to beat." "That was an impressive speech there." "But is much more to it than that." "You're right in saying that the Zoid is alive." "But what happens if you develop the perfect system so the pilot becomes redundant?" "Who are you?" "My name is Heinz Waldé." "I'm the weapons coordinator at the Vash Cuyor Academy." "They work with me on the advanced weapon research team." "Kurt and Alexander." "This is great!" "so I could ask you a question." "Really?" "What do you wanna know? so I thought I'd come straight to the top to see if I could get some answers from you guys." "Incredible." "This has got to be a top of the line microelectronic stealth chip." "I wonder what they would use it for..." "What do you think you're doing?" "not a science lab." "And you're making an unhygienic mess everywhere." "wait!" "You can't do that!" "Be careful with that equipment!" "please don't touch that." "I haven't finished my analysis yet." "This is a hospital and you should get back into bed where you belong!" "What did you mean when you said the pilots would become redundant with the perfect system in a Zoid?" "It's simple." "We want to eliminate humans from the equation." "Humans make mistakes and they allow emotions such as fear to distract them." "A Zoid that is equipped with a computerized combat system isn't capable of making mistakes." "And will therefore be invincible." "Will you be equipping these Saber Tigers too?" "Every Zoid could be controlled by a computer." "Their performance is significantly better than your Blade Liger as a result." "You really think you can pull it off?" "No doubt at all." "But there are many higher up in the military who don't have the foresight to trust this project as we do." "Fools who can't accept the concept that Zoids can function without a pilot." "I don't like the sound of that." "didn't you have some questions you wanted to ask us about?" "but that's OK." "We better get going." "why do you think they came here?" "Hmpf." "I think they might have caught on to what we're doing." "But how could they possibly know about that?" "We've been so careful!" "Don't worry." "They can't prove a thing." "we need to dispose of Van Freiheit." "We will pay the ultimate price for interfering in our affairs." "Execution is the only possible verdict." "I suppose it's a sort of electrical imaging device." "Electrical imaging device?" "You mean it sends pictures kind of like the transmission monitor that we're using now." "Fiine." "You understand this completely." "what happens is this." "You scatter the substance over a particular area in large quantities then send an electrical signal to them..." "I thought I told you to lie down!" "This is really important." "please leave that alone!" "Here they come." "let's cut to the chase." "we're ready for anything." "You seem very confident." "That smile will be right off your face when you see the Cerberus." "Quit fooling around and let's get on with it." "very afraid." "Feel like you've never felt before." "I see it." "Pretty impressive as monsters go." "The one thing that can fright more than anything else is fear itself." "Die!" "Fear may very well be men's greatest weakness." "But it is a weakness that can be overcome and defeated if you try hard enough." "Your pulse lasers fired straight through it." "Now it all makes sense to me." "it's an illusion." "But if it's not real why does it show up on radar?" "It's just the electrical impulses that show up." "Take a look at this." "Fire away!" "It won't do any good." "Trouble." "I don't believe it." "He's deliberately aiming for the windmills." "Now they're out of the way." "The Cerberus has completely disappeared." "They used the illusion to frighten their opponent." "But the firepower only comes from a Saber Tiger." "It's like finding out about the man behind the curtain." "He figured out the secret of the Trinity Ghost!" "Two years of research and hard work disappearing in a few seconds!" "we haven't finished with this one yet." "the Beta Attack pattern." "Right away." "we've got company." "Liger!" "We have simulated all of the Blade Liger's movement capabilities into the computer." "and our superior technology will win the battle." "All of their missiles are homing in on us wherever we go." "We can't escape!" "Oh no?" "Just watch me." "Go!" "He's managing to avoid everything we throw at him." "He's the best pilot I've ever seen." "He'll never beat the system." "Switch to another attack program and use all available weapons at full power until he is destroyed." "here we go." "I'm getting no response from the program." "There must be something wrong with it." "You mean it's malfunctioned?" "What?" "He's heading right towards us!" "Let's get out of here." "Wait a minute." "Look at the Saber Tigers." "All under control." "so why aren't they obeying the instructions on the program?" "They couldn't be..." "It seems incredible but the innate fighting instinct of the Zoid has overridden the computerized combat instructions we've programmed." "Liger." "They're fighting even though they've drawn off their weapons." "All that work destroyed." "Heinz?" "right there!" "do you hear?" "It's game over." "I'll admit you won this round of the game." "We only did all this to protect our research!" "we have to start all over again." "And another thing." "we scientists never get the recognition that we deserve." "you wouldn't have any weapons in the first place." "You self-centered pilots are all the same." "I don't care how hard you try and justify it." "You've gotta realize that what you did was still wrong. but there's a special connection between a Zoid and its pilot that can't be explained by science." "You think we don't understand." "Fine." "I'm putting you all under arrest." "Do you have anything you want to say?" "I'd like to make one request." "scientist against pilot." "My technology against you and your special connection." "I accept." "It sounds like an interesting challenge." "I guess that wraps things up here." "Yep." "Can't you hear it?" "That sound." "Everything is now ready for its awakening." "Preview members of the Guardian Force." "You are privileged to be here." "To witness the moment when the whole course of history will be changed." "Now rise." "Ancient legends most powerful Zoid." "the Death Stinger." "Zoids episode 57:" "343)}The Nightmare" "The Nightmare."
