Planet Zi's two moons get closer together as a group of Sinkers talk about an old legend of how the land of the dead will be opened up at the bottom of the sea when the two moons become one. They say that that land is cursed, and then are shot down by a Hammerhead. Van and Fiona go to an island because Dr. D called them there. They have fun when they get there, and Van rediscovers the joy of piloting a Zoid. Later, Van and Zeke are looking for Fiona when they run into Dr. D in a cave. Fiona is confronted by Riece, who once again tries to freak her out with the usual stuff like Fiona causes suffering, is suffering, and will be the end of Planet Zi. Riece also uses her "gift", which she uses to let people see their past and future. She shows Fiona a vision of Van dying while trying to protect her, and Fiona screams.

Meanwhile, Dr. D takes Van to his lab on the island. He is looking for the ruins of the lost city of the ancient Zoidians. The ruins are in the water around the island, and when the two moons eclipse, the water will be pulled away to reveal the ruins. Tonight is the night it will happen. Then they hear Fiona scream and run to find out what happened. Fiona has figured out that Riece is suffering too, because she is also an ancient Zoidian. Then Van, Zeke, and Dr. D get there and Riece leaves. The two moons cross and the water is pulled away to reveal the ruins. A blue Double Sworder flies overhead and Van gets into his Blade Liger and shoots it down, but it was only a decoy. Specular flies out of it and goes into the water.

Van follows Specular and Riece, in a Hammerhead, knocks him into the water. She attacks him again and again, but he can't fight back because the Liger can't fight well in water. Van sees a whirlpool, and gives up hope. Then Fiona and Dr. D arrive in a Sinker and tell him that they believe in him. Van regains his hope and heads towards the whirlpool. He guides the Liger in circles around it and uses the extra thrust to shoot towards the Hammerhead. Van slices through it with his blades. He rescues Riece from drowning and demands some answers, but Specular jumps down and takes her into the water. Then a red Whale King appears with Hiltz in it saying that they've got what they need from there.

Later, Van, Fiona, Dr. D, and Zeke look at the ruins, and find a huge hole in the floor. There is a scorpian-like mark in the hole. The elcipse ends and the water then starts to cover up the ruins so they have to leave. The next day, Fiona and Van talk about how there is also hope locked in Fiona's memories, and that she thinks that he has the power to change destiny. Raven, meanwhile, laughs evilly while looking at the pink crystal his Geno Saurer is in.
