Ep. 18: The Defense of the City
Aired on January 8, 2000

The Republican Army waits at the New Helic Shore as Prince Rudolph learns of Emperor Zepplin’s death at 11:00 AM. Meanwhile, Colonel Krueger, Moonbay, and Fiona remain at Mount Osa Base. Krueger plans to destroy the facility to prevent Imperial acquisition, attempting to detonate a volcano to freeze Zoid combat systems. Dr. D supports this strategy, flying Pteras with Van and Zeke to trigger the explosion. After initial missile launches fail against Raven’s Saber Fang, the team succeeds in destroying the base and Marcus. Van defeats Raven, though Shadow rescues him before the wreckage explodes. With the Imperial forces retreating, the Republicans secure a strategic victory, and Rudolph orders an immediate ceasefire between the nations.
