- INTRODUCTION -

Overview -
This guide contains the script story for Zoids Saga DS Legend of Arcadia.
Translations -
Everything in the script was translated with my understanding. (And using
JQuicktrans.) There are many inaccuracies in the translations, so remember
this is not 100% accurate.
If you come across something in here that you do not understand, chances are,
I do not understand it myself.
Spoilers -
Because of spoilers, I have written this script guide as another guide,
rather than incorporating it as part of my Complete Guide.
THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Personally, I hate guides for English games, that write out and tell you
the entire story, as if I couldn't read it myself. I find such guides to
be insulting, and a complete waste of time.
These are just pathetic excuses to pump up the kilobyte size of the guide.
Not to mention being huge spoilers themselves.
Which brings me to my point. The only reason why I am doing this, is because
the game is entirely in Japanese, and people have been requesting to
understand the story.
Note that I don't like spoilers. But I dislike whiners that go around
complaining about spoilers no less. I can't stand whiners that go around
saying other people spoiled the story for them. Whine to other people,
not me!

- SCRIPT GUIDE -
==============
Scene starts with a battle lesson with Arth and Atrey. Atrey tries hard.
Arth instructs him. Finally, Atrey hits, but gets countered. Arth say that's
it for today, and tells Atrey to not forget this sensation.
Within the Galaxy lies a planet - Planet Zi.
On this planet exists metallic life forms that possesses excellant battle
capabilities, known as Zoids.
The will of Zoids were to battle, and it continued on Planet Zi.
Wars are the use of the strongest weapons to reign the land.
Such were the Empire VS Republic.
Gradually, the wars faded, and drew to a closing, and peace was coming back.
However, in this time, the small kingdom or Arcadia,
ancient relics that have surfaced, are causing unrest, and becoming a bigger
issue...
Once again, a war is on the edge...
The world's only hope rests on the Zoids, and their many young pilots.
Regina chides Atrey for not paying attention. She reminds him that they may
be in a time of peace now, but it is uncertain how long it will last. She
tells him Jack's battle lesson wasn't showing results, and it's no laughing
matter. She reminds him of the importance of learning battles, and tells him
to study properly. She then continues a long lesson.
After a while, Regina decides it's time to take a break.
Jack asks Arth what is he looking for him about. (It's amazing how he can do
that when there is a wall.) They learnt that Atrey has been escaping from
their lessons. Arth was displeased, and about to say something, but Jack
reminds him they are in the castle, and should not be reckless. Jack says that
the Prince was always thinking about something else. Later, Regina rushes in,
seaching for Atrey. She then rushes off again. Jack comments that have an
easygoing Prince. Arth says it can't be helped.
(You gain control. Speak to everyone, and later, the King.)
The King speaks to Atrey, saying that he is the heir. Regina rushes in to
Atrey, then notices the King.
Regina says she has not taught Atrey properly, but Atrey says that it was
his fault. The King wanted to talk about the relics, and the balance of the
Republic and Empire.
At this point, the Republic and Empire make their attacks. The King orders
the 3 Beast Warriors and Atrey to leave. They have no chance against the
republic and empire.
At the front gates, Blood an the rest have cleared the way below.
The 4 of them continue their escape. The Zoid Sauro Knights is for Atrey.
Regina teaches the radar, then they continue their escape.
They continue, after a long discussion of the Armlet Comm, the Radar.
Here, they saw the Trinity Liger, and even though they can't take the Core,
they took the Data.
In Arcana Village, they were talking about seeking support, but Imperial
Soldiers came, and said there was a curfew. Jack lied about being travellers,
and they weren't convinced. An old man then shows up to get them out of this
fix, claiming that Jack is Thomas, and he is his nephew. He later reveals
that he knows who Atrey is, and his name is Roman.
Roman informs them about the situation, and speaks of the 4 Sky Kings.
Arth and Jack speak to each other, and talk about their individual past
working under the Empire and Republic. Regina calls them out.
When they exit, they are ambushed. The Imperial soldiers already knew their
ruse. The party refuse to surrender, and chose to fight.
When you win, Jacked asked about the Castle before letting them go. Regina
teaches about the radar.
Arriving at the castle, they decide it's too risky to brave the front gates,
and take the left factory.
Heading to the end, you will see a door. A passcode is required, and Regina
has it. Upon entering, the Imperial Soldiers catch up. Atrey recognizes the
leader as Blood, who spoke of the Time Transportation Device. Blood refuse
to tell them what happened to the King, saying that they will end here.
The battle caused a crack in the wall, and everyone escapes. Blood chases
after, realizing this leads to the ruins.
After a short move, the Jack and the rest realized that this is the ruins.
At the end, the party see someone entering the Portal. This is the Space
Time Transportation Equipment. Blood appears, and tell them this is a
replica of the sealed technology in the Castle, and they will use it to
obtain the over technology of the ancient Zoids. It is revealed that Arcadia
Kingdom was to watch over this equipment. Blood tells them to consider, why
a small kingdom was caught between Empire and Republic. Jack says this
Space-Time Transportation device is like the opening of Pandora's Box, with
no understanding of what may happen. Blood says it is true that there is
little telling of what may happen, but with this, they are able to gather
the most powerful Zoids of the future, and rule the world while it is
ensnared in chaos. Subsequently, the first obstacle, Arcadia King, has to
be dealt with, for the Emperor. Your party, also, has to disappear.
Atrey said Blood used to be with them, but Blood says never to mention that.
Blood says they have no power, but Regina says that Atrey will definitely be
king. Jack says that they will stop his ambition, but Blood simply replies
that the ambition is the Emperor's. Blood says this shall be their graveyard,
but Regina says they will not go down easy, and she will protect Atrey.
Blood says she speaks bravely, but it is time to do battle. As the leader
of Phantom Knights, Blood Keel will fight them.
When Blood lose, he blames Orpis for not tuning the system correctly, and
say he'll remember this. Then he leaves.
The party then discusses what to do. Regina says to follow, but Jack is
worried about not being able to return. Regina asks Atrey what he thinks,
but Atrey is already entering. The rest follow suit.
Fran reports to the Emperor. The entire castle is now under control, and
strict security measures used. The emperor babbles to himself, and when
Fran asks, he simply says she need not care. He tells her to continue the
search.
Orpis appears, and wonders if the Equipment was in poor condition, but the
calculation was correct. He then returns.
Re Mie asks Looge, what's with the long face. Looges dismiss it. La Kan
says to rest at the next village. Looge wonders about the Generator in his
village, but La Kan tells him not to worry, but remember that this is his
mission. They then continue.
The party then appears. Regina asks if Atrey is okay, and he says yes.
Regina chides him for acting alone, and says she won't allow it. The others
try to cut in, but she was already fuming. Discussing the situation, they
wonder about what Blood said about the Phantom Knights. Jack says that there
is no point in worrying about that now. Suddenly, there is a reaction with
the portal. They start moving again before it is too late.
The party arrived at another place. Knowing the enemy must be around here,
they decide to enter town and collect information.
When you speak to everyone in Tanta, you obtain new radars and learn how
to use them. You also hear that there are excavations being stolen.
When you excavate something, Orpis gets a report of sightings of your party.
Upon exiting town, Orpis shows and and introduces himself as one of the
Sky Kings of the Phantom Knights. He asks if they are the 3 Beast Warriors,
which they did not deny. Orpis commented on their stupidity, and after a
brief discussion, they fight. Orpis talks bravely, but runs off.
The villagers thank the party, who chased off the agressors. They decide to
leave, and enter the portal.
The arrive at another place, and decide to enter town for some information.
When you talk to everyone, you realize that Digald has been conquering this
area. The party decides that Digald could be trouble, but it can't be
helped. Outside, 2 Bio Zoids attack, and Arth attacked them with little
effect. The counter attack of the Bio Zoids were strong. La Kan and the
rest came to their aid, and dispatched the Bio Zoids. They entered town.
In town, Re Mie chides them for being reckless, because they would be
annihilated if La Kan did not arrive. Regina thanks Ra Kan, who implies
the actions of Digald are becoming more outrageous. He also mentions
Reeo Weapons being lost. They also talked about the Bio Zoids being made
of special alloy. Atrey, obviously has no clue on this, and Re Mie
is quick to comment that he is unreliable, just like Looge. La Kan tries
to persuade them to give up leaving, as the place is too dangerous.
Eventually, everyone agrees to help each other. First, they would search
for Looge's stolen Murasame Liger. Mie says it was his own fault that it
got stolen, but Looge says it was because of a fire from Mie's failed
barbecue. The party will need to excavate Reeo Ore first. Mie starts
calling Atrey, Looge the Second.
Upon discovering the Reeo Ore, La Kan says to return to forge it.
Kotona, Galaga, and Ron have gathered, certain that the cave is a bandit
hideout. Kotona returns while the others keep watch.
Atrey and Looge thanked each other. Mie says this a is a reaction when 2
unreliable people meet. Kotono returns, and asks who the party is. Mie
casually answers he is Looge the 2nd. La Kan says they are guests from
far away travelling together. Kotona tells them that they have found the
place. Galaga and Ron are keeping watch, but still no signs of the
Murasame Liger. La Kan says to prepare before setting off.
La Kan says for Looge to follow Kotona, which he readily agrees.
When they reported to Galaga, he was unhappy Looge was with Kotona. Ron was
already away, investigating another Zoid. Looge was disheartened. Kotona
cheered him up, to which he recovered almost immediately. Galaga warns
him about getting too close to Kotona. Mie asks if Galaga is still jealous
of Looge, but he denies it. The party prepares to catch the enemy off-gaurd.
Encountering the Bandits inside, Kotona demands the Zoid back, but they said,
"Sorry, you have to disappear!"
After the battle, Kotona tells Looge there are still bandits around, and not
to be negligent. Looge complies with the "Yes, Kotona!" attitude, and
Galaga warns him again not to attach to her.
When they finally managed to find the Murasame Liger, Kotona urges Looge to
take it quickly. The bandits appear to stop them. Arth simply tells them,
"Congratulations. You shall be defeated right here."
After the battle, they return to town, and Looge thanks Atrey. Kotona mentions
that it may be lonely without another on the Rainbow Jark. At this point,
Galaga becomes irate, and wants to battle Looge.
Looge complains why he has to battle Galaga. Galaga tells him to shut up and
there's no point arguing. He says this is for the sake of love, and it starts
now. Looge dodges attack, and Galaga tells him to fight like a man. Ignoring
Kotona, he continues to fight. "Only a strong man is suitable for Kotona!
Do you understand?", he shouts. Eventually, La Kan steps in.
La Kan tells him they simply do not have time for this. Galaga is unhappy.
Kotona comments that he is too single-minded. Mie asks if Looge is okay,
but refuses to admit that she is worried. Kotona cuts in, and asks what is
happening on Ron's end. Galaga was embarrassed, but he had completely
forgotten about that. La Kan says to forget about the bandits for now, and
head to where Ron is. Galaga then apologizes to Looge for having lost his
cool. But he added that now that Looge is back on the Murasame Liger, Kotona
will belong to himself! (God knows what he meant. But nobody seemed to care
either.) Looge than speaks with Atrey. He said he managed to avoid
Galaga's attack, using every strength he has got. But from here on, in
his journey, he is likely to get into conflict with Digald. He must become
even stronger. Jack then urges them to go.
When they meet Ron, he commented they took their time. Galaga apologises for
being so late. Ron asks if he Galaga had actually forgotten what they had
split up to do, but Galaga denies this flat out. Mie comments that that was
low. Ron says to get started.
As soon as everyone enters the deeper parts of Metoki, a Zoid follows them.
It is Zairin, Commander of the Elite Soldier of Digald Martial Country.
Zairin sees this as a perfect opportunity to deal with all the antagonists.
Everyone says their counter battle lines, then a battle starts.
Upon defeat, Zairin retreats, but not before firing at Looge, and saying a
few lines about coming back. Looge says he will have to be stronger. At this
point, a reaction happens between the Murasame Liger and Sauro Knights.
Everyone wonders about this reaction, but decide to just continue.
When they found the Soul Tiger, Kotona realizes they have found Seijuurou,
who happens to be the strongest Zoid Pilot in history. Wondering what he
is doing here, they approached him.
Seijuurou wonder if the party are bandits, but he recognizes Kotona. Seijuurou
is also after the bandits, and he is wondering about his contact, who happens
to be Ron. An attack suddenly appears out of nowhere, and realizing this is
a trap, everyone decides evacuate.
Looge asks to be Seijuurou's pupil, but Seijuurou refuses. Kotona also begs
him to take in Looge, but Seijuurou insists that he will have no more
pupils. Looge rushes out to meet Atrey, but Kotona stays behind, and tells
Seijuurou Looge's story, of how his village was attack, and he needed to be
stronger. She then leaves.
Outside, Orpis lied waiting. It was he who laid this trap. He says that
all of them, except for Regina, has to disappear. Regina and the rest are
perplexed, but fight all the same. Atrey signals to Looge to break through.
After the first wave of enemies are defeated, another wave replaces them.
After the enemies are defeated, Looge says he will not lose. Orpis tells
them to shut up, and the Soul Tiger appears and attacks him. Seijuurou
tells Looge, that his training will be harsh. But Looge's answer was still
"Yes".
Orpis refuses to give up, and launch another attack.
When Orpis is defeated, he comments they are quite the obstacle, but his
observation is already complete. He says he will be happy to see Regina again.
After the victory, Regina is still stunned. It was time for Atrey to say
goodbye to Looge and the rest. Looge was sad that they have to leave.
When Atrey returned through the portal, Command Wolves were lying in wait.
Arth was planning on attacking, but the Command Wolves immediately retreated.
They were surprised, but continued regardless.
In the throne room, Orpis reports to the Emperor that he found interesting
Zoids like the Bio Zoids. Blood says some sarcastic remarks, but Orpis
tells him to stay down. Gail then reports to the Emperor of the 2 captives.
Blood and Orpis still continue to call each other names. (Mad scientist,
little man...) Next, Fran reports on ready for entering the targetted world.
In Arcana, a soldier reports to Atrey and the rest, that something
unidentified had enter the ruins and used the Space-Time Transporter.
Atrey runs off in pursuit, and Regina follows. Arth mutters to Jack about
things being different this time and not running away.
Approaching the Transporter, Imperial Soldiers demand to know why the party
is there. Jack casually replies they simply need to use the transporter, and
Arth gets into an argument with them. A battle starts all the same.
After the battle, Arth says he will spare the soldiers if they tell him
where the previous person has gone.
After obtaining that information, they went through the portal.
Once again, in a foreign land, they decided to enter town for information.
Along the way, they met a Redler, piloted by Fran, who apparently knew Arth.
After having a heated exchange, where Fran tells that Arth was her captain,
she fled. Regina asked Arth what was that all about, but he did not anser.
They entered town soon after.
Arth still will not tell Regina the whole matter, and Jack simply tells her,
"Everyone has secrets." A boy bumped into Atrey, and a small Zoid was
following him. Jack and Regina recognized that as an Organoid. Jack spoke to
the boy, but he answered sharply that he was not to be called "boy". He
introduced himself as Van, and his Organoid as Zeek. Immediately remembering
that he had someone important to search for, Van rushed off.
In the Bar, Jack asked Irvine if he knew Van, and he immediately demanded to
know who they are. Arth repeated the question, and Irvine shows indifference
to Van's matter. Arth said that Irvine had bad eyes, and Irvine took offense.
Moonbay and Regina had to stop them. Dr D made a comment, and Irvine told him
to shut it. A brief discussion and short argument later, everyone learnt
that Van had went of with Zeek, but was not with Feene, who was supposed to
be with him. They wondered if Fran has something to do with Feene. They all
decided to look for them.
Outside, they wondered if Fran will seek help, because whatever she had
planned to do will be difficult alone. Moonbay suggests that it may be the
Desert Alcobareino, bandits of the desert.
When they found Van fighting some Zoids, Irvine yells at him for acting on
his own. He says he will take care of this, and Van leaves them.
After the battle, Irvine fusses on how he got messed up in such things, and
Dr D just laughs, and Irvine tells him to shut up again. Jack urges to follow
Van.
Entering Rock Town, they saw that the place was hit by war. They decided
to ask everyone in Town.
Outside, they have enough information to know that the Desert Alcobareino
was behind this, so it was time to enter their cave.
When they found Van and the enemy, Rosso recognize them being with "the woman".
Van commented that Irvine took his time, but Irvine simply says that the
trick lies in making an entrance at the last moment. Rosso cuts in, tell them
to stop the chatter. He said he will be taking the Organoid, and it was his
key to getting back to the army. He signals Viola to attack. Van said that
Zeek isn't going anywhere, and he wants Feene back. Rosso does not seem to
understand what he meant, but a battle starts all the same.
After the battle, Rosso realizes his RedHorn's Armor was torn. Van asks
again where Feene is, but Rosso and Viola do not have any clue. They
realized that the Redler, which the villages of Rock Colony saw taking Feene,
must have been a different one. Understanding his defeat, Rosso decides to
tell them about that other Redler, which happens to be Fran's. He also
said they collaborated, and they were after the Organoid. Van was not
convinced. Rosso said they were merely a hired obstacle. The party was
not convinced, but Atrey said he does not seem to be lying. Jack asked them
where were they headed, and Viola said they headed east, towards Red River
fire bridge. Van said that the place was already lost in a previous battle.
Rosso added that there was a cave somewhere, that linked the Republic side
to the Empire side. After knowing all he needed, Van said they have to hurry.
After they had left them, Rosso said to Viola, that they were totally and
utterly defeated. He said it was alright, but they have to flee now. He also
added that Fran was probably after something in the Empire, and that something
big is going to happen.
Through Red River, awaiting on the other side, is Raven. Van demands to know
why he is there, and asks if he is seeking another battle with him. Raven
simply said it was Van who was interfering. Raven also says that Van is
unskilled in the Zoid, and he will show him how it is done. A battle starts
unsurprisingly.
After his defeat, Raven said the battle had been interesting, but that
woman had already planned this. Van wants to know more, but Raven has
already taken of. Irvine notices that Raven has never used his Organoid at
all. Someone calls out to Van at this point, and he recognizes Feene.
Everyone rushes out to meet Feene. Feene said she was alright. Van asks
what happened to the woman she was with, but she doesn't have a clue.
Irvine says they shouldn't stay too long, since they are on Empire soil
now. Van thanks Atrey, and say he will continue to search for Zoid Eve.
Atrey asks what that is, but Van says he will tell him some other time.
Everyone parts here.
After moving for a short while, a Redler tries to attack Atrey.
It was Fran, who had been hiding to attack. Till now, the party has no idea
what is Fran's target. Fran said, it was to have the Saber Tiger and Shield
Liger battle, and capture the Organoids. She called Raven here, but her
plan did not go so well. Jack asks if she should be running away now because
of that, and she did not have to show up. But it is obvious now, that her
target is Arth. Fran said that Arth has betrayed her group. She asked why
he betrayed her. But Arth's response was "Is that all you have to say?"
Realizing that Arth has no remorse, she fights him.
After she lost, she asks out loud why can't she win, and say she cannot end
it like this. She tells them to remember this, then escapes. Arth says
silently that he will not forget.
Regina asks Arth again, but still he says nothing. Everyone decides to chase
after her, and enter Grey Colony first.
Entering town, they decide to ask for information. When they exit, they
decided to check out Garil Ruins. There is a rumored treasure in it, and
Fran may be after that.
Entering the Ruins, Regina says she has a strange feeling of the place.
Exploring the deeper parts of the ruins, they did not find anything.
Regina says she has a bad feeling, and they should quickly leave. At this
point someone calls out to them. It turns out that Van and the others are
here as well. Moonbay asked if they had settled matters with the woman.
Jack says it's not finished yet. They said that they decided to investigate
this place too. Feene recognizes the readings, and calls out the name
"Death Saurer". She was in a trance, and Van had to bring her back. Regina
confirms that there is something bizzare about this place. Regina said that
the Death Saurer is the most vicious evil to have ever existed. Jack
wonders if the ancient Zoid people died because of this most powerful Zoid.
Regina also said that the data is required. Jack asks her why does she know
so much of this, but she did not answer. Arth said that this data may be
the next target. Yet again, Arth and Irvine starts another argument, but they
were cut short by tremors. They suspect an earthquake, but then realized
that this must be the work of a battle. They suspect Raven may be behind
this. Van rushes off. Feene wanders off to the inscriptions again. Irvine
tells her not to touch anything and follows her. He steps on something,
then realizes he has set of a trap. This kind of trap releases Zoids
against intruders. Moonbay tells him he should have been paying more
attention, and Irvine apologizes. Arth said this was Irvine's responsibility,
and Irvine tells him to shut up, and say they should prepare for battle now.
A battle with Rev Raptor Pile Bunker starts. After the battle, Jack says to
follow Van.
Fran enters, checks the Death Saurer inscriptions. Even though she does not
have the organoids, she at least will not return empty-handed.
Outside, Raven says he has a new Zoid to show Van - the Geno Saurer. He says
it will end here, and tells Van to battle him. The party shows up just in
time to help him. Irvine said he knew it was Raven. Raven says this will
make things interesting. Regina sees the Geno Saurer, and sees it as a
similar feeling to the Death Saurer. Raven says time is wasting, and Van
says they'll fight just like he wished.
After the battle, Raven said it was time to end this, so he attacked Van with
a Charge Particle Cannon, destroying the Shield Liger. After that is done,
he says it's time to go. Irvine asks if he is running away, but Raven simply
replies there is not much the rest could do without Van. With that, he left.
Irvine and Moonbay try to save Van.
They arrived in town. Van's life is not in any danger, even though his spirit
is a different case. Moonbay arrives, and reports that Zeek and Feene are in
with the Shield Liger core. (This greatly shortens what happened in the
anime.)
Outside, a barrier has surrounded the Shield Liger. No one can get it or out.
Dr D said not to worry, as a new power is growing. There is nothing else to
do except continue.
Raven met Fran. He discusses on what she had planned earlier. He intends to
get even, and say it's time for her to disappear. He attacks her, but misses,
and she escapes. Nothing left to do, Raven also leaves. The party arrives
later, and they saw Raven fighting Fran. They did not seem to be working
together. Atrey decides to chase after Fran first, who went to Hargen City.
Entering Hargen City, they decided to look for information.
They discovered that there was a secret lab here. If someone is trying to
resurrect the Death Saurer, this would be the perfect place. Irvine suggested
breaking through, but the others decided that this would be unwise, as they
are on Empire grounds now, and they have an army near here. Arth however,
thinks it may be a better plan to sneak in.
After preparations, they went in, and took a scientist by surprise. They
forced him to tell everything he knew. They were studying something from an
ancient ruins, which turns out to be Garil Ruins. They were experimenting on
restoring Zoid Cores for Proytzen. They used ZoidCore Gene Alterations on
this. Jack asked him where this Zoid is now. The Scientist said it went
berserk and was stopped, and he did not know anything after that. They let
him go. Understanding there must be something here, they continued.
Entering the room, they found Proytzen. He asked the party if they were
thieves, but immediately said it doesn't matter, and helpless children should
return, and live slowly. He tells them he is Gyunter Proytzen, the next
Emperor. The idea is now clear, and Regina says it was he, who was intending
the resurrection of the Death Saurer. Proytzen asks how did they know about
this, and again says it doesn't matter. He said that they shall be used
as test subjects. Arth realizes he meant the Death Saurer Prototype.
Proytzen said he must be excused, as he has the Empire Coronation to attend
to. He said that the Bloody Demon will be arriving shortly. A tremor happens.
Everyone prepares for battle against the Bloody Demon, and Van shows up, this
time, with his Blade Liger. Irvine asks him what's with the new Zoid, and Van
said that this is Blade Liger, his new companion. Atrey knew that Feene and
Zeek must have helped. Van says to show the enemy their power.
Finally, they defeated the Bloody Demon, and managed to delay the resurrection
of the Death Saurer. Fran suddenly shows up. After a brief exchange on what
was going on, she said she was going to take the Organoid. Van says that's
not going to happen. Fran says she will take it by force then. (Kind of
lacking intimidation, no?) Arth tells her she is being used by the Emperor.
Fran tells him to shut up, as he won't understand anyway. No choice but to
fight.
After her defeat, Fran said there was more in plan, and she escapes.
After this, everyone decides they have to go. Irvine tells Arth that women
tend to be tenacious and frightening, but inside, they really care. (Since
when did he become a love expert anyway?) He tells Van it's time to go,
so they say their goodbyes. It was also time for them to return to Arcadia
(This is one great typical murder of the entire original story. There was a
great timeline difference between Raven losing his Saber Tiger in a volcano
fight, which didn't even happen in this game by the way, to the time when he
got the Geno Saurer to face off against Van. In addition, there were important
events where Rudolph was abducted by Rosso, and later picked of by Van when
Raven's Geno Saurer appeared. The Shield Liger was not destroyed at the first
encounter, it was destroyed at the second. Rosso's Iron Kong was first
destroyed, while the others made their escape. Rudolph is there the whole
time, so it's amazing how such an important character can be totally left
out. In this game, unlike Zoids Saga 1, he never makes an appearence.
There are also some events which involves Stinger and other characters
who were after Rudolph's Imperial Seal, and such were left out, making it
look as if the transformation to Blade Liger was almost immediate.
The rise of the Bloody Demon was totally original, and did not conflict with
the Chaotic Century storyline. But everything else conflicted.
The original Zoids Saga seperated the 2 scenarios, making it look a lot more
accurate. The timeline was a lot more accurate, considering Raven took much
time to getting a Geno Saurer after the Saber Tiger. In addition, the game
showed Rudolph, and idicated Rosso's and Viola's involvement clearly. They
also showed Stinger's attack. All this stuff has been removed in this game.
However, Rudolph's involvement with Van is still not indicated clearly.)
Gail reports to the Emperor ready to suppress the Kingdom Army. He also tells
him that Fran reports failure of the capture of Organoids. The Emperor says
to order her to destroy the Transporter. Blood was not too supportive of this,
but the Emperor says it's better to strike first, and trap them lost in time.
Fran arrives at the Transporter, and the party have yet to return. Fran
prepares for an all-out ambush. Gail arrives, and tells here there is a
change of plans. They are to destroy the Space-Time Transporter. Fran
does not believe it, but Gail said they already have one, so they do not
need this one, and use it to trap Atrey and the rest instead. Fran is
unwilling, and Gail asks her if she any problems with this. She simply said
no. Gail says he has to return to make preparations, so he leaves.
Arriving at the gate, Regina notices some strange disturbances. They hurried
through.
Fran tells the guards to leave her. She has to get revenge, but cannot
achieve it this way. While she is deciding what to do, Kingdom Soldiers
appeared. The Kingdom soldiers will secure this area. Fran decides this
is just as fine, so she leaves, deciding that she will one day get her
revenge as long as Arth lives. The party just arrives, and the Kingdom
soldiers welcomed them. The soldiers report that they have gradually taken
control of the area, and have taken over the ancient ruins. The party
is happy to hear this. Atrey tells the soldiers to strive, and they complied.
Fran reports to the Emperor the failure of the destruction of the Transporter.
The Emperor was angry saying she was a fool for failing the mission to capture
the organoids, and failing to destroy the Transporter. He tells her to get
out of his sight. The Emperor mutters about being surrounded by incompetent
fools. Gail reports ready, and the Emperor tells him not to slip up. He
tells Blood to strengthen the fortress' defense.
Downstairs, Blood comments to Gail that the Kingdom Soldiers were quick to
regroup. He asks if what they are doing is betrayal. Gail simply says serving
the government isn't about doing what you like.
A soldier reports to Atrey, there was a time reaction. The Space Time
Transporter in the Castle was used. They are uncertain of where they went.
Jack says from what he heard from the Imperial soldiers, they may be
able to trace where they have gone through wave patterns. Arth tells the
soldiers to prepare a team to activate the Transporter systems.
At the Space-Time Transportation Center, Arth asks them if they have completed
the analysis, to which they replied yes.
Arriving at another world, they decide to enter the city they see. (And this
time they didn't enter automatically.)
After checking around, they decided to meet Maha Storm.
Hopp asked them if they wanted anything. Arth told him about hearing Zoids
being attacked, and wanted to see if they knew anything. Regina says he
was too direct. Hopp asked who they were, and Jack said they were after
someone whom they suspect is related to the Zoid attacks, and they would like
him to tell them what he knew. Arth demands to know, and Regina tells him
to watch how he says it. Hopp does not have the details. Seeing how there is
not much else to find out, they decide to leave. Hopp calls to them to wait,
and asks them if it is that important. Jack replies they have to do the right
thing. Other zoids may be targetted and attacked if this is not stopped.
Hopp says that Maha Storm shall help them, and they gladly took it.
Hopp introduces the members. Hopp says they should give top priority to these
Zoid attacks. Maskman says he understood. Matt says he wants in, but Sweet
forbids, and tells him to take care of housekeeping. Sigma and RD say they
will handle it. Arth asks if it is okay for a kid to handle this. RD says
"Hmp! Don't be stupid. You should see the power of me and my Liger Zero!"
Sigma says RD can handle himself, and RD agrees. Sweet says to have everything
prepared. They discussed where the culprit could be and what he might do.
Jack gets a slip of tongue and calls Atrey "Prince", which raises RD's
attention. Atrey said to just call his name. Hopp gives Atrey Radar upgrades
and tells him how to use it.
Entering the ruins, they decided to investigate the place.
Halfway through, everyone decided to split up to cover more ground.
When Atrey and the rest finally found the Gojulas, Arth said it must have been
him who started the attacks. Jack says he could not believe it was done
by Gail, who was his coach. Gail said he had not planned to meet them under
such circumstances. Jack asks Gail why he chose to serve the Emperor. Gail
replied by saying this was not his problem. Gail said to him, that a word
of advice, he will not forgive anyone who interferes with him.
Gail attacks Jack, then runs off, telling him not to forget his advice.
Arth asks if Jack is okay, and what was that all about. Jack said that
Gail used to serve in the Republic, and he used to train under Gail.
Gail was assigned important duties. The injury on his arm happened
when he was inexperienced. He was surrounded by enemies, and Gail helped
him break through. He couldn't understand why Gail would choose to work
for the Emperor now. Arth said they are certain to cross paths again,
and when the time comes, he will know, and will do what he has to.
At the point, Gamy and the Public Order Bureau shows up, and mistook Atrey
and the rest for the criminals behind the attacks. Regina says they got it
wrong, but the trio insist they surrender. Atrey said they can't talk their
way out of this one, but they cannot give in, so they will have to do this
the hard way.
After the battle, RD rushes in, and asks them what on earth were they doing.
Gamy recognizes RD. RD says that the Gojulas has already escaped. Dyd says
that means that Atrey and the rest are innocent, but added that the information
should be accurate. Gamy just curses this failure. RD says that right now,
Maskman and the others have faced the Gojulas, and tells them to hurry. Gamy
says they will lend Atrey their power to deal with this enemy.
In HQ, Hopp gets their report saying the capture of the Gojulas failed.
Maskman said he's sorry, but he could not capture him. Sigma asks Maskman
if he had injured himself, and Maskman said it's just a flesh wound. He
added that the Gojulas was not fighting that seriously. Amy suddenly
rushed in, saying something bad has happened. Maskman said Amy is another
of their members. Amy said that the Gojulas has taken Matt's LeoBlaze.
Arth complains this just keeps happening. She said RD is trying to handle
this. Everyone decides to go after them.
When they found RD, they saw a Zoid they did not recognize. Atrey says to
aid RD.
RD knows that Matt's LeoBlaze has now merged into the Matrix Dragon as a
Unizon. Gail urges Watts to test the ability of the Liger Zero Pheonix.
Watts follow orders. RD attacks and misses, and Watts follow a counter
attack.
Watts said that the Liger Zero was not bad, but he was still the winner.
RD wants to battle, but the Liger Zero will not move. Gail said the
Matrix Dragon is good, but that is enough for now. Watts laughs, saying the
LeoBlaze is now his, and they can find him anytime in the Savage Hammer.
Sigma and the rest goes to help RD.
Hopp says that Amy and RD went off. Sweet says they took Matt to face
Savage Hammer as well. Jack asks what the Savage Hammer is. Sweet says that
is a rival Zoids Team, and Watts is their new member. Arth says that means
that Gail was using him. Sweet does not know who Gail is, and Arth says he
is the person behind the attacks. Sigma asks Maskman if it was really okay,
Maskman said that Sandra of the Savage Hammer isn't exactly the trustworthy
kind, so they should be giving up by now and returning. There's not much
they can do. Sweet commented the power of the Unizon is strong. Hopp say
they could be baiting them to another battle. While discussing the Liger
Zero Phoenix and Matrix Dragon, Regina realizes that Atrey isn't there.
Sweet wonders if he followed RD. Sigma says it doesn't really matter who
speaks to them, it won't work.
In Savage Hammer HQ, Sandra asks if what they want is compensation. Amy
said they have documentations. Sandra said that in their area, the Zoid now
belongs to them. She said that they were the aggressors. Matt says it's a
lie. Amy continues to argue with her, and Sandra says that it would spoil
their reputation to steal a LeoBlaze. RD starts yelling and demands the
LeoBlaze back. Sandra said the Zoid ID proves it is her Zoid, and RD
says it was underhanded that they forged it. After a short comment from
Blade, Atrey arrives. Barton asks what does he want, and RD says he is
part of Maha Storm. Sandra asks what does he want. Atrey asks them if they
weren't planning to return the LeoBlaze right from the start, as doing that
would mean abandoning the Matrix Dragon. Watts asks Atrey is he suggesting
a battle to settle this. Atrey says "That is correct." Amy and RD can't
believe that. Sandra says this is interesting, but he can't back down
from this challenge, and Savage Hammer will take it all. Amy wonders if he
knew what he was getting into. RD tells Atrey to consider this. Matt was
impressed. Atrey thinks to himself, this is already done. Luke says they will
prepare their Buster Fuhrer. Blade tells RD to prepare himself. RD told
Blade this is what he himself would have wanted.
In Maha Storm HQ, Sigma is shocked someone decided they had to battle
Savage Hammer. Hopp declared that was reckless. Sweet shouts as RD, asking
him if he know what he has gotten himself into. RD says it wasn't him.
"Then who was it?" Sweet asked. Matt said it was Atrey. Regina was
displeased, and Atrey apologises. Atrey said they have to do something
about this matter. Hopp says it's too late for anything else. RD tells them
if they back out, they will be laughingstocks. Maskman said only thing
now is to keep that promise. Amy said they have to be there. Arth said that
this time, this is the right choice. Arth also said they just have to use
their strength to smash the monster. Sigma said they can't scratch it let
alone destroy it. Maskman said they can't lose this, and have to give it
everything. Jack said the best way was to focus everything in a concentrated
attack on the Matrix Dragon. Hopp says it can't be helped now, so they
simply get the battle rights. RD and Atrey says to do this.
In Savage Hammer HQ, Watts adviced Blade not to overdo it. Blade says that
RD is his to defeat. Watts say it was he who forced Maha Storm to a corner,
not Blade. Therefore, he should be the Ace of the team, and there are no
need for 2 Aces. Blade was not impressed, and Watts proposed a competition.
Blade comments Watts certainly is confident. Sandra urges them to stop, and
tells them their aim is to smash Maha Storm. Luke reports Maha Storm is at
the meeting place. Blade tells Luke to get ready. Watts say he will show
the power of the Matrix Dragon. Sandra said Maha Storm is being lured in.
RD said they cannot lose, and tells Atrey to get set. Watts say he will
defeat them. Watts said that he will aid Mister Gail.
After the battle, Watts says this is only starting, and attacks. Except that
his target was Blade. Watts said he was sorry, and his control of the Zoid
slipped. Blade doesn't buy it of course. RD uses this chance to attack.
RD attacks, with not much effect, but he didn't give up, and attacked them
both. Suddenly, the Energy Liger shows up. RD wonders if this is the
Legendary Zoid.
After this, at Savage Hammer HQ, Sandra says that was quite the obstacle.
But she said that she was glad they were okay. Blade said it was Watts'
failure. Luke apologizes to Blade for losing, but Blade said it wasn't his
fault, and he will definitely find that Zoid. Sandra tells him that is the
Energy Liger. Blade said he will hunt it. Sandra asks Luke if the Buster
Fuhrer can be repaired, but Luke said they have tried and it cannot be done.
Sandra said it can't be helped, but to give a new Zoid. Barton makes a snide
remark how Blade didn't feel about the loss. Blade turns to go, saying he will
search for the Energy Liger. Luke tells him they already have a new Zoid.
Sandra said she is hopeful, and asks Barton to assist him.
Hopp says this has ended in a tie. Amy said it wasn't workable from the start.
Sigma said they were lucky to make it. Amy said that battles are likely to
continue. Regina wonders where RD is, and Sweet said he's after the Energy
Liger. He had to see if it was the Legendary Zoid. Sigma complains they
still have not settled these matters. Arth asks if he is okay alone, but
Sigma says to just leave him. Maskman said he probably has no chance of
winning the Energy Liger. Everyone decides to get RD. Sweet asked Atrey
to take care of RD.
Outside, RD encounters Blade, and it's another conflict all over. They
asked each other why they are here, and they both answered searching for the
Energy Liger. Blade said that the Energy Liger will have to wait now, so
he will test the strength of the Gairyuuki against the Liger Zero. He said
he will defeat the Liger Zero fairly. RD is about to fight, but the Phoenix
reacts. Blade attacks RD.
Atrey and the rest discover RD fighting an unknown Zoid. They moved in to
intervene.
Barton cuts short their path, and say they will fight him instead. Sigma says
that is Burton, and he isn't bad with a Zoid. Atrey says to break through
and help RD.
After the battle, Barton said the time is up, and they should give up on RD.
Laughing, he runs off. RD fights Blade desperately, but he lacks power.
Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix breaks off from the Liger Zero. Blade sees it
is trying to save the Liger Zero. Blade says he will do as it wishes.
Blade attacks the Fire Phoenix, and destroys it. Blade says that takes
care of his noisy companion. He said that is enough for now, and next time,
it will be for good, and tells RD to remember this. Laughing, he leaves.
RD, in anguish, can't believe the Phoenix is gone. He said he's sorry that
the Phoenix had to do this to save him and the Liger Zero.
In HQ, RD has not returned, and the rest wonder what he will do. They will
search for him. Gamy comes in and reports the Gojulas has been found. Sigma
says this time he will not escape them. They learn that he is in the Zoid
Road, and Arth knew this was a trap. Atrey said they will still go, and
fast.
At the Zoid Road entrance, they found RD, who says they are late. The party
asks if RD was okay, and he says he still got to carry on no matter what.
He also said that he got info from Sweet, and he has been watching this
place.
Inside, they wondered why he chose this place. Jack said it made sense,
because no one else would be involved.
On the other end of Zoid Road, Gail says he has been waiting for Jack. Jack
says they found him at last. Gail says he's hopeful to see what Jack can do.
Jack asks what is he trying to do, and why won't he tell him. Gail tells him
to shut up, and say this is where he will smash him. Arth said they have to
be serious with this one. Jack says he does not want to defeat him, but Gail
asks does he really think he can accomplish that.
After the battle, Gail says they are not bad, and this will have to be all,
and escapes.
Gail goes through Zoid Road, and exits with little resistance. RD wants to
chase him, but Maskman says its pointless. Maskman asks what's the deal,
and Jack says Gail was his mentor.
In Maha Storm, Maskman says things will be calm for now. Hopp thanks them
for their efforts, and says they are always welcomed here. Sigma says it's
finally time for a break. RD wonders where Atrey and the rest are. Amy said
they look like they had some troubling matters to settle. Sweet asks if they
will be all right. Maskman asks RD for opinions.
Regina said they are returning silently. Arth said it can't be helped. Jack
says it's better not to get them involved. Regina doesn't feel right.
Arth says it's better not to work with them. Regina agrees not to get them
in their troubles. RD goes after them, and asks them if they were planning
to go silently. RD says they're not being frank. He asks them are they not
companions. He said they would help them with their troubles. RD says
they are coming along, and Atrey thanks them.
Blood reports to the Emperor. The Emperor asks if he knows what Zoid Battles
are. He answers they are fair battles with rules, and team up to fight. He
also commented those are child's play. Emperor says they can strengthen
Zoids. Blood says he understand if he is to go an era where he can collect
data from Zoid Battles. The Emperor says he is expecting results. Blood
complies and leaves. Orpis says as expected, Blood's Zoid abilities will
be probed here. The Emperor tells Orpis to go, and he must have the best
Zoid. Orpis is reluctant, saying he has to prepare for the next one.
