*Background info*

Van went to the Mystical Moon (as we know, Earth) to fight a dragon. He is planning to kill the dragon and take his heart. A girl, Hitomi, was practicing at the track where the dragon was. Van went to go kill the dragon and grab his heart and go back to his home. He lifted the heart in the air and he was transported to back to his home (as we know the moon). Hitomi got transported too. Van used the heart from the dragon to activate the Escaflowne. With the Escaflowne, Van became king of Fanellia and needed to protect his people with his Escaflowne. But, also to send Hitomi home to the Mystical Moon.

Hitomi stayed at Van's place for the time being until they could find another way of transporting Hitomi back. Once she was shown to her room, she started to explore Van's place. All of a sudden, there were people running and Hitomi was curious of what they were running for. So, she followed the people that were running to their destination. When she arrived at the destination, she saw the Escaflowne just like in her dreams. (A/N: Hitomi can see her own future, but she doesn't realize it.)

"It's just like the one I saw in my dreams!" Hitomi said excitedly.

There was something really tragic when Hitomi was dreaming, but she couldn't remember, because the whole dream was a blur after that. That's all and she woke up like she just had a nightmare.

Van headed out with the Escaflowne and saw his brother's allies. His brother was working for Zaibach because of his emotions from his last battle with a dragon.

*Van's Flashbacks*

His brother was fighting a dragon just like he was and same purpose. It was to activate the Escaflowne to protect Fanellia from destruction. But, his brother had a tragic ending to his quest. He had gotten hurt from the battle with the dragon. His legs were broken and his right side of his face (A/N: I think it was the right side) have scars.

*End of Flashback*

He didn't want to fight the dragon anymore and didn't want to activate the Escaflowne, so he went over to the Zaibach.

*Van left to fight*

*The other warriors followed behind Van*

*Hitomi followed the Escaflowne to see what will conclude out of this battle*

*Van and his warriors arrived at where the people threatening Fanellia were*

"Well… well… isn't it Folken's little brother?" one of the Zaibach warriors said.

"What do you want from us?" Van asked very angrily.

"You don't have to be all angry about it"

"We just want Fanellia"

"You've got to get past me before you can have it."

"Let's get the show on the road then!"

*Hitomi arrives at battle scene*

*They start fighting*

Suddenly, during the fight, Van sees Hitomi in the way of the battle. He wondered why she was here and not back where she should be.

*Van thinking: I'll ask her later.*

Van lost his concentration on the battle because of Hitomi being there. He was still daydreaming until Hitomi yelled, "Behind you". But, when he noticed a guy behind him attacking, it was too late for him to dodge or attack back. The Escaflowne was damaged. After, the warrior that attacked the Escaflowne was going to hurt Hitomi. Van went and gone to protect her, but the Escaflowne had not much power left to fight…

Will the Escaflowne get total damage and couldn't be activated again? Or is it some other conclusion? Remember to read Chapter 2 when I get 5 or more reviews.
