The Longest Night of the Republic.As the Imperial Army is getting closer, Captain Herman is swimming really fast to warn their side about the attack from the Empire. While Van, Moonbay and Irvine are planning their next move to the Guerrial Plateau. They also find out a general in the Imperial Army is also looking for it and will pay lots of money if they have any leads. Madam President drops in on the Mount Osa base to check on how Colonel Kruegar is doing. Lieutenant O'Connell of the Red River Base wants to send out a search party to look for the Captain. But the president denies their request. Irvine, Van, Moonbay and Fiona are having dinner while the Lieutenant drops in and is really mad, he says that he will pay anyone enough money from the military to retire if they would steal a Pteras and go rescue the Captain. While on the Imperial Side, Admiral Prozen was making his daily report to the Imperial King Zeppelin. They talked for a bit on how he was going to deal the final blow to the rebels. Then Van and Irvine alongside Moonbay and Fiona broke into the base and stole a Pteras to rescue the Captain. Van and Irvine both stayed at the shore just in case the captain makes it back. Dr. D catches the three soldiers including Captain Rob Herman. Then Van and Irvine appear to rescue Captain Herman. Herman tells the girls that they should tell the Mt. Osa Base to about the attack. Irvine also runs off and Van/Herman go to a nearby Naval Base. Then Raven blows the Naval Base up and challenges him. Van accepts, and all the while Moonbay had made it to the Mount Osa Base. Irvine warns Major Ford who is piloting the Gojulas to make a retreat to the Helic capital, because these Imperial Troops were just trying to get the attention of the Rebels and the ZG. On the battlefield, Van and Raven are having a pretty nice zoid battle, until the Imperial Army decides to attack them. Then Van runs away.
