Zoids (Chaotic Century) Vol 1.8

Heroes of the Sky
Van and his friends come upon an Imperial Base which houses the Eisanback Black Redler unit. Believing that the Rudolph that is with Van is an imposter they attack despite Major Schuboltz recognising him as the real Prince. Outnumbered they are saved by two mysterious Storm Sworders.

Moonbay's Waltz
Van and his friends are saved from the Imperial Army by McMann, Moonbay’s former lover. It appears Moonbay still has feelings for him too so Van, Irvine, Fiona and Zeke try to sneak away and leave her there but she finds out.

The Three Guards
Unable to capture the real Rudolph, Prozen sends for The Three Guards, an elite trio of warriors devoted to the Empire. They challenge Van and Irvine to a battle and quickly out manoeuvre them.

The Doom Machine
Van and his friends arrive at Guygalos and are taken to Prime Minister Homalap, one of Rudolph’s allies. Homalap tells Rudolph that his funeral is tomorrow and that Prozen has been doing research on Zoids cores. Van and Fiona investigate and the Death Saurer awakes as if sensing Fiona’s presence.
