Ep. 25: Zala Team infiltrates Orb to pursue the Archangel despite official denials
Aired on March 22, 2003
The Archangel suffers significant damage during an assault by the Zala Team, which is composed of Le Creuset Team members. The pursuing forces are driven away from the neutral nation of Orb, where officials claim the Archangel has already departed. Despite this official statement, the Zala Team suspects the information is false. Consequently, they secretly enter Orb to continue their pursuit, ignoring the nation's assertion that the target vessel is no longer present within its borders.
