At night, an Iron Kong's pilot is "punished" by a huge three-headed Saber Tiger. The next day, Thomas tells Van and Fiona about the the Trinity Ghost, a group of people who punish Zoid pilots for some odd reason. Thomas thinks that they are childish and an insult to the Guardian Force. The three members of the Trinity Ghost watch Thomas say all of this and decide that he must be punished. They send him a message telling him that he's guilty and has to show up in a certain place (a wide field full of windmills) that night. Thomas does show up determined to punish the Trinity Ghost and attacks three Saber Tigers that are there. The windmills start to spin in the opposite direction. Suddenly, a huge three-headed Saber Tiger appears, but Beek says that the enemy is behind Thomas. Thomas doesn't think so, and is attacked.

Later, Van visits Thomas in the hospital. They talk about the Trinity Ghost and Fiona shows up. Thomas tells them about his battle. Van and Fiona take a walk together and talk about the Trinity Ghost, who is watching them and decide that Van has to be punished. Van and Fiona wonder if Hiltz is behind it, but it's not his style. They go to the field where the Trinity Ghost punishes pilots and find little marbles in the grass. They take one and go to the university Thomas graduated from. They meet three scientists (aka the Trinity Ghost people) who develop weapons and new technology. Van thinks that a Zoid and its pilot have a special bond and that Zoids are alive, and the three scientists agree about Zoids being alive but they think that the a Zoid doesn't need a pilot if it has a complex combat system installed into it. Van and Fiona then leave.

Thomas takes a look at the marble and tells Van that it can carry electric pulses. Then a nurse comes in and takes away all of his "unhealthy" equipment. That night, Van shows up in the field and prepares to fight the Trinity Ghost and the three Saber Fangs. The windmills spin in the opposite direction and the three Tigers merge to form the large three-headed one. Van's not fooled and shoots at it, but his shots go through it. He was actually aiming for the windmills. The hologram of the three-headed Tiger disappears and the three small Tigers appear (the windmills, marbles, and Tigers were all used to make the big three-headed Saber Tiger).

Van proceeds to beat and slice up the three Saber Tigers before going for the scientists, who are in a truck nearby. They are surprised that Van beat their technology. Before Van can get to the truck, the three Tigers get up, jettison their weapons, and run at him. They still want to fight and are not obeying the combat commands the scientists installed into them. Van beats them easily. The scientists are arrested by Thomas, who is there with an insane nurse. The main scientist wants to fight Van again; Van's special bond with his Zoid against the scientist's technology. It's morning now, and then Fiona has one of her weird "sensing danger" things. A great distance away, Hiltz watches over a tank and says that the creature is almost ready to awaken.
