Ep. 20: Van and friends search Guerrial Ruins while Rosso kidnaps Prince Rudolph for ransom

20

A scientist discusses new Zoid modifications with Minister Prozen, while Van, Moonbay, Irvine, and Fiona arrive at the Guerrial Ruins to search for clues. Meanwhile, Rosso and Viola hold Prince Rudolph captive, planning to ransom him to the highest bidder in the Empire. After Rudolph attempts to escape during dinner, the group flees with their captive. At the ruins, the team splits up and encounters sluggish Rev Raptors, which Irvine deduces are sleeper Zoids programmed not to fire to protect the site. Van and Fiona are cornered but rescued by Zeke and the Shield Liger, allowing Van to defeat the enemies. Rosso exchanges Rudolph for money with Metlenick but reclaims the boy and escapes. Fiona recalls the Death Saurer after touching a stone tablet, and Prozen assigns a modified Zoid to Raven.
