A man is watching two birds, but he is interrupted by gunshots. Van and the others are being chased by a Red Horn and some Rev Raptors. The man sees the Gustav and thinks it looks familiar. Moonbay is trying to sing, but her Gustav keeps getting hit and Rudolf and Fiona scream a lot. Then she sees something which is a relief to her. The man is standing in front of the Imperial troops. He tells them not to trespass and they leave after a while. Van and the others come out of some bushes. Moonbay seems to know who the guy is, and Fiona and Rudolf wonder how he can make his teeth sparkle. Later on, it's explained how the guy, McMann, has a lot of influence in the Empire because he trades with them a lot. If they bug him, then he'll start trading with the Republic and the Empire will have less supplies.

Rudolf is disgusted with Fiona because she pours a ton of salt into her drink. Moonbay and McMann know each other because they were planning on getting married but Moonbay thought it wouldn't work out. Later, Van wonders about Moonbay and McMann's relationship and Moonbay thinks for a while. While that's going on, the Imperial troops decide to search McMann's place because they think that he's hiding Van and the others.

McMann uses a map to show Van, Irvine, Fiona, and Rudolf the best route to Guygalos. He knows who Rudolf is. Moonbay sees a jeep drive by, but doesn't worry about it. The Imperial troops get there and McMann confronts them. He manages to drive them off for now. Moonbay is upset because he could have gotten hurt. Later, Van and Irvine talk about what Moonbay and McMann. Moonbay decides to leave tonight and McMann talks to her about why she left a long time ago. She says she did it because they are so different. He thanks her for telling hem that, and gives her a red dress and asks her to dance with him. She does, and Van decides to leave without Moonbay because she's happy with McMann. Van tells McMann that they're leaving without Moonbay since she's so happy here. He tells McMann this.

Van, Irvine, Fiona, and Rudolf are about to leave when Moonbay gets there saying that she's going with them. McMann told her about Van's plan. Then, the Imperial troops arrive. They want Van and the others, but McMann pulls out a remote control and turns on some music, saying that it's time to dance. Some parts of the land rise up, spinning around, revealing some Dark Horns. Then McMann pushes another button and they start firing at the Imperial troops. Redlers then appear and attack the Blade Liger, Command Wolf, and the Dark Horns. But then the Storm Sworders appear, again just at the right moment, and slice up all the Redlers. They fly off, and Van slices up the remaining Rev Raptors and the Red Horn. Later, Moonbay and McMann say their goodbyes and Moonbay admits she loves him. On the road, Moonbay tells everyone that she dumped him because of his music. They all get frustrated at her, but she doesn't care. She's happy living life on the road. Meanwhile, Prozen stares down into the huge tank and laughs evilly.
