Overview[]
Synopsis[]
In the 21st Century, planet Earth undergoes upheaval as Zoids suddenly arrive from space. Zoids roam the streets, and the time/space warp that brought them morphs continents.
Some time after, the series starts with our protagonist Leo Conrad. He's seen trying to jump a great crevasse using his Liger equipped with rocket boosters. He fails, but lands safely at the bottom, to attempt again another time.
As he heads back, Buzz Cunningham is introduced. He works together with Leo to take on a mission. Essentially, it's a delivery task to the other side of the gap Leo had just been trying to jump. (They have to go around, taking much longer than if Leo's jumping plan had worked).
Buzz drives and Leo takes the Liger, and they perform their task. On the way back they detour into the ruined city in search of rare metal. The pair head into a basement filled with old computer equipment, which they salvage.
However, just outside a lone girl is seen running through the street wearing a breathing mask. She is cornered by a group of rusty stripped-down wild Raptors. Leo saves her, but she loses her mask. She immediately has breathing problems and Leo has to lie her down inside one of the buildings.
As this is going on, forces from the Empire arrive and take down the Raptors using Scorpears armed with guns. Luc arrives and seeks to take the girl, Sally Land with him.
Despite being told by Buzz to leave the girl, Leo interrupts this and takes Sally with him. He uses the Liger to escape from the Scorpears, but Lucorders the soldiers to bring his Cannon Bull.
Leo's Liger is essentially unarmed, and unable to fight back effectively against the powerful Cannon Bull. As defeat looks imminent, sally throws a medallion toward the Liger, and it is covered in a glowing light. The Liger transforms into the Beast Liger.
Unfazed, Luc proceeds to unleash his Zoid's mechanical Wild Blast, a barrage from his 9 main cannons.
The Liger survives, and responds with it's own Evolved Wild Blast. Luc is unimpressed, he believes the firepower and range advantage of guns to be superior the blades on the Liger, and proceeds to continue shelling. Leo manages to effortlessly dodge the bullets, stunning Luc not just with speed, but also with how he's able to withstand moving at such speed lacking a pilot suit.
Luc's Zoid is defeated, and the others use that chance to escape. Luc comments that the evolution he just saw must be part of research related to the girl.
It's revealed at the end that Leo's body had changed substantially, with parts of his body being fused with metallic components.
