After swooping and sneaking around Irvine learns even though the Republican Army is backed into a corner, they have a bold strategy. After several attempts by Moonby and Fiona, Van still doesn't want to go instead he is trying to pull the full potential of the Shield Liger out. Meanwhile, in the village Raven explains the strategy to Major Shoobaultz, and why they couldn't merge their forces together. It would be too overwhelming for the Republicans and which might force the President to negotiate a ceasefire treaty between both nations. After his talk Raven leaves with his Saber Fang and Shadow. Van finds him and says that he wants a rematch. Irvine as always was standing by, if Van needed help. For a couple of secs, it looked like Van had the match under control, but then Raven being the superior pilot quickly figured his strategy out and ripped the dual-gun mounted on the Shield Liger off. Then Irvine came charging in and Raven took him out easily enough. Then Van put up his Shield and charged for Raven and hit his Saber and Raven went down. He then fused with his black organoid, shadow. Then took Van out with one blow, after that Zeke was hurt pretty bad. The Chronos Fortress felland blew itself up along with the part of Marcus's unit.
