Episode 42. Raven

At night, a single Godos destroys an entire base with the help of a black Organoid. Raven jumps out of the cockpit and walks away, though it's apparent that he's "not quite with it". In the morning, Van and Fiona arrive at the destroyed base and look around. They find a guy who is trapped in the wreckage and he says that there was a black Organoid. Van starts to think that Raven is back.

Thomas goes to a base because Van called for his help. They discuss the situation over tea. The bases have been destoryed in a pattern, heading east. The next base that would be destroyed if the pattern continues is the one they are at. Fiona tells Thomas not to underestimate Raven. Later, Van and Thomas talk about Raven.

Raven walks across a desert and is picked up by a guy, who doesn't know who Raven is, in a Gustav. He's still "not quite with it" so he doesn't say a word, just drinking a lot of water and falling asleep. That night, the guy cooks dinner for Raven and him. Raven drinks his drink even though it's burning hot. Hiltz and Riece watch him and wonder when he will awaken. Raven suddenly stands up and looks into the distance. The guy spots Shadow on a cliff near then looking in the same direction as Raven, and wants to get out of there. A Redler flies towards them and scans the Gustav to make sure that it's not carrying a Zoid. It's about to leave when Shadow flies up and causes it to crash. Raven walks towards the crashed Redler while the guy wonders what's going on.

Later, the base where Van and Thomas are detects a Redler flying towards them. Iron Kongs shoot at it but don't stop it. The Redler flies into the base and Van and Thomas see that it doesn't have a pilot. The Redler crashes into the base and Shadow flies out of the Zoid. Van and Thomas run deeper into the base because they figured out that the Redler was a decoy. Raven is in the base, and he's getting into a Dark Horn. Van and Thomas find him and know for sure now that Raven is back.

Raven shoots at Van and Thomas, and Thomas tries to attack Raven, but is knocked down. Van attacks next but Raven makes the Dark Horn jump over the Liger. Van doesn't know where Raven went, and Raven shoots some Iron Kongs that have just arrived. Then he turns around to fight Van again. Thomas gets up and helps Van, and together they manage to knock off one of the Dark Horn's guns and slice off one of its legs. They think they've won, but the Dark Horn jettisons its last gun and holds it in its mouth to aim at Van and Thomas while the gun is firing. Van and Thomas don't know why Raven's doing that because he's not hitting them.

The gun runs out of ammo and Raven gets out of the Dark Horn. He looks at the Liger and Van opens the cockpit to stare back at Raven. After a moment, Raven finally snaps out of his strange trance and calls for Shadow. Shadow takes Raven out of the base, and Hiltz and Riece watch Shadow fly away. Hiltz knows that Raven has finally come to his senses, thanks to Van. Somewhere else in a huge tank, a Zoid, the Geno Saurer, is healing.
