Van sat up and yawned. It seemed like forever since he had found his two
best friends, Fiona, the strange girl who loved salt in her food, and Zeke,
the silver organiod. Both were dearer to him than himself, and he would
have died to prove it.
'AUGH!' he cried, disturbing the fragile morning peace with his groan.
'Hmmm?' mumbled Fiona, still in sleeps grasp.
'Oops! Sorry 'bout that Fiona!' Van said, embarrassed at having his friend
wake up on account of him.
'It's okay Van. How about I start breakfast? I promise not to put salt in
the coffeepot!' she giggled looking at his mutinous expression, and started
working, frying eggs, bacon, and cutting up freshly dried papaya, Van's
favorite.
'Van?'
'Yeah?' he answered.
'I've been thinking'
'You know, that can be pretty dangerous to your health!' he joked.
'Stop joking! I'm serious!'
Van rolled onto his back.
'So? What have you been thinking about?'
Fiona sighed. With a slight breeze in the wind, making her hair shift, she
thought again of the nightmare that had griped her heart during the long,
black night. Fiona was an ancient Zoidian, who had special bonds with
Zeke, all organiods, ZOIDS, and Van. She also could have premonitions, and
sense things. She also thought she was the doom of the planet.
'I've been thinking about a lot of things. I had another nightmare
last night.'
That made him roll over. Van knew that when Fiona had a nightmare, you had
better listen!
'Seriously? What about Fiona?'
'The Death Saurer, Prozen, and Raven. It was so horrifying! The
Death Saurer started shooting the Blade Liger, Zeke, and you! Prozen stood
there laughing at me while I cried over your bodies. Then Raven appeared
and said " You're the death of us all Alisi Lynette!" and then." she
trailed off.
'Wow! That's one heck-of-a dream! I wonder if it means Prozen is
still alive? But he died with the Death Saurer, didn't he Fiona? You saw
it too, right? Well, I guess that means we better find Zoid Eve even
quicker than I thought we needed too!'
'Van. There's more.' She said haltingly.
Van listened in horror and pity too Fiona's next freakish dream. In it,
Irvine and Moonbay, their old friends die in a charged particle beam, and
then the planet of Zi explodes!
Van soaks up all the misery Fiona had to deal with and gives her a hug.
'I wonder how, in your dream I mean, I wonder how Raven knew your
ancient name? We never told him, and the only other people who knew were
Gramps, Moonbay, and Irvine. Or did we tell anyone else? I can't
remember!'
'Oh, well! We'll find out what my dream means when we're supposed to
I guess!' said Fiona, beaming to be able to get that off her shoulders.
'Hey ZEKE!' she called in her sing-song voice happily, ' Lets go find
Zoid Eve!'
