corney but come on, its the first saga Im writing ^__^;;]
----
[Van scene]
----
Van quickly guided Escaflowne on the back of the floating fortress.
Steam and air was released and the chest of Escaflowne opened. Van hopped out and climbed down
the gymelef. He then took out Hitomi's pendant and held it in front of him, he closed his eyes and remembered Hitomi once telling him, "If you consentrate on it, you'll be able to see it.." an echoe voice ran through his head.
Then the pendant swang left and Van opened his eyes and ran to the left into a hallway.

[Main room in fortress]
----
Folken closed his eyes, "He's here.." he said with an emotionless face.
Dilandou stood up and ran towards the door, "Yes!" he exclaimed. Folken held his hand up. "Wait." he said clearly. Dilandou stopped and turned his head
towards Folken. "What? Come on, I want to rip his neck out!" he stroked his scarred cheek, smirking. "Just wait a little longer. He'll come to us."

[Van scene]
----
Van continued to run down the hall. "Which way.." he held the pendant once more and it told him to go left.
He then turned the corner and there was a large enterance with stairs going downwards. He ran down them but
he stopped in front of a locked bar gate. Van grabbed the bars and looked in between them. He saw Hitomi's bloodyd up body and how she was tied up.
"Hitomi! No!" He shook the bars with rage. "Just hold on Hitomi, please dont leave me!" he pleaded as he continued to pull on the bars.
"Arrgg!!" He yelled. He looked behind him and there he saw a shadow, a human shadow, coming down the stairs.
He then plunged up against the wall and waited for the person to pass him. It was one of Diladou's men. As he passed, Van slammed his hand on the back of the soldiers
neck, making him fall, hitting his head on the wall, going unconious. Van quickley searched the soldier for keys, and he then found them.
He shoved the key in the key hole and opened the gate. He ran to the side of the table that Hitomi was tied up and yelled out her name.
"Hitomi! Wake up!" He shook her, then his eyes widened as he saw small holes in her body, blood sprouting out. "God..no." He ripped his shirt and placed
it on the major wounds and tied it up. "Just hold on a little more, Hitomi.." He picked her up and placed her on his back, her head laying on his shoulder. He cringed, looking at her and started up the stairs and out,
down the hall.
He was just about to get to Escaflowne when he saw Dilandou, Migel, Chesta, and his other men standing, blocking the exit.
Van stared at Dilandou with hate and carefully placed Hitomi down, leaning against a wall. "Why? Why did you do this to her? You fucking bakas just made a big mistake." He said with an angery, low tone.
Dilandou just smirked, "Oh yeah? Draw your sword." Van glared and sheathed his sword and held it firmly in front of him. "Come on." Van said sharply. Dilandou
sheathed his sword as well and dashed at Van. Van put his sword in a horizontal position, as Dilandou slashed down at him. There swords clashed and van pushed him back.
Hitomi, whom was leaning against the wall, slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry but it came into focus. She saw Van and Dilandou fighting, then she remembered the vision she had earlier about Dilandou, stabbing Van.
Her eyes grew wide. "If they kill van..they'll destory his city!" Hitomi weakly got up and saw Migel behind Van who was ready to stab Van. "Van! Behind you!" she exclaimed, pointing at Migel. Van's eyes widened, "What?" he quickley turned around and stopped Migel with his sword, from stabbing him. He then plunged the sword right through Migel.
Dilandou panicked as he looked at the dieing Migel, "What a shitty way to die.." he then ran at Van with anger, "Raaahhh!" Van turned to Dilandou and put his sword up again, as there swords clashed. Dilandou pushed Van back. Hitomi then got enough
courage to run at Dilandou. She ran and pushed him into the wall. Chesta then grabbed Hitomi from behind. "Your not getting away!" he said. Van with anger, rushed up to Chesta and plunged the sword into his stomach. "DIE!" Van exclaimed. Hitomi just stood there, wide eyed.
"Hitomi, come lets go!" He then ran into the Escaflowne. The chest of Escaflowne closed and Van carefully picked up Hitomi with Escaflownes machine hand. He ran off the Fortress and jumped off the end. Van then changed Escaflowne into a dragon, making Hitomi sit in front of him in the pilot spot.
"Your save, Hitomi.." he said, looking down at her in awe"

[Floating Fortress]
----
"I can't believe they got away! They killed Chesta and Migel too, just after Lord Dornkirk revived them with his new machine.." Dilandou said, angerly slamming his fist on a table.
Folken stood up by Dilandou and slapped him, making Dilandou fall to his knees, he held his cheek as he looked up at Folken with fear and confusion. "I told you to wait. But you didn't listen did you? Lord Dornkirk will be very dissappointed."
Dilandou stood up and angerily stomped off. Folken looked up at the stars through a large window, "Van..my brother. We will find you.."
