Caught in the Shadows of Draconians Part 3
Friend, or Foe?

Well, I've written my third chapter to my original story, and I hope it's just as good as my second one....please, r/r! (not like anyone's gonna anyways.....::looks sad:: no one ever does...::sniffle::)
::Dilly comes in and stares at me:: Well?
Me: ok..ok..I'll put you in...
Dilly: Yeah! Muahahahahahhaa! Time to kick some dragon-
me: Don't get too carried away or I'll take you out!


"Stop it Hitomi! Your struggling will make no use to you..." Folken's arms were beginning to get tired as he continued to fly to an area unkown to Hitomi.
"Then let me go!" She spat back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back at the palace~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Van! Stop! Let me go!" Allen shouted as the young man took off on his 'dragon'.
Van didn't listen, his heart was set on Hitomi, and Hitomi only. He tried to see through the thick fog and all the rain, which ran down his distressed face. Fannel's dark hair blew back wildly behind his ears.
Suddenly a Guymeleif appeared in front of him...but not just any Guymeleif...
"The red Guymeleif! Ahhh!" Van made a battle cry and charged at Dilandau.
Dilly made that insane/evily grin and shot five metal spokes (I dunno what else they're called. .) at the Escaflowne. Van had to land on a small island below and change into the Escaflowne. He deflected the metal spokes with his sword. Van then closed his eyes and used the pendant method of detecting Dilly's every move. He charged at Dillandau, sweat building up on his forehead.
"I have no time for you! Leave me!" Van shouted. He impatiently jabbed his sword at Dilly.
"How come dragon-boy? Afraid of me? Muahahhahahaha!" Dilly-

~~~~~~~~I'm sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties..please stand by...~~~~


Van had spotted Folken flying, Hitomi struggling in his-
"CUT!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~backstage~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dilly: What's going on here? Where did my battle with Van go?
Me: Look, I told you not to go out of control! -_-'
Van: I want to save my girl! Let's get on with it!
Dilly: Not until I'm in the story!! MOERO!!!
Me: Uhhh...*sweatdrop*
Van: What the hell! Just put him in!
Me: Fine. ONE last chance, for all of you Dilly fans... ^_^


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~anyways...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



"No! I do not fear the likes of you! I need to save my girl!" Van replied. "Now let me go!"
"Hmmmm.......NO! Muhha..errr...MOERO!" Dilly sent a flamethrower at straight at Van.
"Noooo!" Van screamed as Escaflowne was devoured in flames.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back with Folken and Hitomi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"AHHHHH!" Hitomi clutched her pendant as an inexplanable pain arose from within.
Folken look at Hitomi with concern. "Are you alright? What's wrong?"
Hitomi looked back at Van's brother with hatred. "You! That's what's wrong! YOU!! If it weren't for YOU, Van wouldn't be hurt!" She yelled in his face.
Folken grinned evily, "Your feelings will change, sooner or later...hopefully sooner...but they will change..." He looked up and the next thing he said was, "Muaaaaaaaahh!" WACK!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the battle..~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"I actually won! YES!!" Dilly shouted with pride. "I'm outta here!" He took off, leaving a charred Escaflowne on the ground, motionless.
Once Dilly was out of sight, Van got his Escaflowne to transform into its dragon state. "Playing dead...works everytime...." Van smirked. "BAKA!" He yelled after Dillandau. "Okay! Let's go!" Van yelled and he pulled the handles of the dragon and it took off into the storm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back again o.O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hitomi stood up shakily. "What happened here..? I..my head is...hahahahahahaha!" She burst out laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back again o.O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Hitomi! Hitomi where are you!?" Van called out, his heart swelling with determination.
"Van!" A voice from behind called out to him.
It was Allen.
Van sighed anime style and halted the dragon in mid-air. "What is it? Wait...how come you're pioting a Guymelief?" He asked in surprise.
"Our soldiers defeated one of the drivers and we took over this.." Allen's voice indicated his Guymeleif proudly. "But down to business please. I'm going to help you find Hitomi!" He declared.
Van smirked. "No way! I'm going to!" He made his dragon fly into a thunder cloud so that Allen wouldn't be able to find him. Van closed his eyes and saw the swaying red pendant....it moved faster....then stopped. "There! Her shouted and he flew a bit farther through the thunder cloud and then burst out of it, heading farther out over the ocean.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back again o.O okay, it's my last time!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"I can't believe it! Muahahaha!" Hitomi was STILL laughing at the fact that Folken had been distracted by her and he had flown into a tree.
His body lay crumpled and twisted on a branch. Hitomi ran to the shore of the small island and she closed her eyes.
'Lead Van to me....show him....my love...my Van...' Hitomi's pendant rose in the air and a blue light surrounded her and shot high into the air. "Van! I'm here! Find me!" She yelled into the moaning winds.

"What's this?" Van exclaimed as a blue beam came into view. "Hitomi! Wait for me!"
Hitomi had heard this, "Van! Van! My love!" She shouted as she began to see the dim white outline of the dragon.
Suddenly, a Guymeleif appeared before her. Hitomi froze and looked at it.
"Hitomi, it's me! Allen!" He called from inside. "Let me take you back to safety.
Kanzaki just stared and the yelled, "ALLEN! You've joined the Zibac? I should have guessed so!" Her eyes were filled with hurt, not for him, but for what she thought he wanted to do.
"No! No! You've got it all wrong! You see, the pevious owner of th-" Allen was cut off by the landing of the Escaflowne behind Hitomi.
Hitomi stepped back from the Guymeleif. "Return Allen to where he belongs! Please!" She pleaded to the sky and a blue light consumed Allen and he disappeared. Hitomi then fell, for she had fainted.
"I'll bring you home baby." Van turned the Escaflowne back into a dragon, hopped off, lifted Hitomi onto it, and then jumped back on, pulling on the handles to take off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~in the floating fortress of Zibac~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Lord Dillandau! Another Guymeleif has returned!" An officer reported.
"Excellent! Bring the pilot to me!" Dilly ordered.
A few miutes later a group of men brought a struggling Allen forth to Dilly. The insane man looked with shock at Allen. "You? How did you get into a Guymeleif?"
Allen was just as scared. "Some of your men were defeated and they retreated from their Guymeleifs. So we took over some."
Dilly then laughed insanely. "Now you can't escape us! Men! Lock him up! I will decide what to do with him later..."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Malerna's (andDridons?) castle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Oh Lord Van....I'm sorry for being such a puss in the foot..." Merle stared at Hitomi's unconsious body on the bed, with Van bending over her, stroking her paled face.
"It's alright...I know she's alright...just weak.." Van said gently.
