22

Van and his companions seek shelter after escaping Raven, where Rudolph expresses a desire to learn Zoid piloting. Meanwhile, Minister Prozen orders search parties for the missing prince, unaware that Raven’s Geno Saurer has defeated Rev Raptors and Redlers. Van begins Rudolph’s training, and Dr. D explains the legend of the Death Saurer, which supposedly destroyed a nation. The group suspects Raven possesses this weapon, though he later reveals his unit is actually a Geno Saurer. Tensions rise as Rudolph’s imperial lineage is confirmed and Prozen’s ambitions are discussed. Shadow kidnaps Rudolph, prompting Irvine and Moonbay to engage dozens of Rev Raptors. Van confronts Raven, who destroys the Shield Liger’s core with a Charged Particle Gun, forcing Zeke to escape with Van.
