Armored Trooper VOTOMS - Season 1 Episode 18 Tournabout

An air patrol from EX-10 locates Chirico and brings him in to the EX-10 hospital. Gotho, Vanilla, and Coconna stand vigil over Chirico as a doctor explains to Gon Nu and Kan Yu that Chirico suffers from exhaustion and cannot answer their questions. It is actually a ruse, and the doctor is bribed to maintain it. Chirico tells the others that he has located Fyana, and Coconna fumes with jealousy. At the Holy Palace, Kanjelman fights Ypsilon in a Balancing match. This time, Ypsilon is beaten, and Kanjelman cautions him against excess pride. Ypsilon confronts Fyana about her treachery in allowing Chirico to escape, and Kanjelman conducts a meeting with his advisors to plan a new assault on EX-10. At the base, Gon Nu takes a leave of absence, and Kan Yu is left in charge. Observing this, Gotho promises to dig up more information and contact Chirico later. That night, Chirico sneakes out of the hospital to Gotho's house and receives a phone call. Gotho tells him that Gon Nu has gone to set up an alliance with the Melkian army, which can only escalate the civil war. As Chirico hangs up the phone, Kan Yu and his troops barge in to take him captive. Learning of this, Kiderra and Potaria force their way into Kan Yu's office, where he is attempting to interrogate Chirico. No sooner have they freed him when an alert sounds; Veela Guerrillas are launching an attack! In the Fantom Club, Vanilla and Coconna also take notice of the attack - missiles are streaking right into Niitan! Kan Yu scrambles his AT platoons to the base perimeter, but no enemy is in sight. Chirico realizes the truth of what is happening; the guerrillas are concentrating their attack on Niitan instead of the base. Defying Kan Yu's orders, he and his companions race to the aid of the town, hoping it isn't already too late. "With a roar, everything began to move. I couldn't see what was ahead, but everything right now was connected into one thing. And then I knew this was all just a prelude to an approaching hell."
