Following repairs to the Shield Liger, the group encounters Moonbay, whose Gustav carries heavy Imperial arms. After a brief skirmish with sleeper Guysacks, they camp at an ancient fortress. Van, Fiona, and Zeke go swimming and discover Zoid remains, prompting Irvine to retrieve his electromagnetic whip. More sleeper Guysacks attack, revealing a trap where earlier foes were decoys. A fierce battle ensues against a battalion. Moonbay lures half the enemies away, then jettisons her cargo to detonate the Imperial ammunition, destroying the rest. She returns to Van, requesting him as her protector.
