Summary from last chapter

There was a huge battle between Folken and his little brother, Van. But, when Lord Van had the advantage, Folken had retreated from the battle. But Folken was stupid enough that he didn't make plans for the next battle with his brother unlike Van who had a plan up his mind when they had retreated. (A/N: Both brothers are totally unlike. Maybe it was because of their childhood separation.) Van's plan was to try to get Folken on his side without touching him, not even with the Escaflowne.

End of last chapter summary

"There's a sight of Folken in the air, Lord Van"

"Thanks"

"It's my duty"

"Call out the backup again"

*In the air (Battlefield)*

"There's no need to fight with me, Folken" Van told Folken.

"I had tried to be on your side, but it was that… the dragon"

"That was the past! Just worry about tomorrow and not the past."

"My purpose here is to fight you"

"I will never fight with you. I'll only resist."

*Escaflowne turns into a dragon and flies over to where their parents had died.*

"Remember anything that you had promised our parents?" Van questioned.

There was a dead silence for a while and Folken tried to remember his parents.

~*Flashback*~

His mother was lying on the bed in the hospital nearly dieing which she had gotten hurt from trying to save him and his brother. His mother had requested a favour for which he would take care of Van while she was gone because his dad had busy things to do. He had agreed to the favour that he had promised.

His dad died in the Escaflowne during a fight with Zaibach. Van and Folken were at the battle scene when their dad had died. It was very tragic and the two brothers now had no parents. Folken had swore to himself when his dad died that he would get revenge for his dad's death and Van had followed his brother with the revenge.

~*End of Flasbacks*~

He thought about everything Van told him and Van had to protect himself now. Also, he's the one trying to kill him and he thought this was total non-sense.

~Folken thinking: I feel sorry for Van who had to go all through this. Also, I can't break promises, especially from my parents. ~

"I'll join to your side now."

"But, I'll act like I'm still on Zaibach's side and self-destruct the base" Folken added.

Van had nodded. They flew back to the battle field where their backups had been fighting still. None of the soldiers were hurt yet thankfully. They pretended they were still fighting and Folken let a hit to him. He made people think that it was serious and wanted to retreat again.

Folken and his backup went back to their base and they had to get his mobile suit repaired for their next battle (A/N: Of course, it was all pretend as he had promised his brother.) He went to the control room when no one was in sight and he had the self-destruct sequence on. There was a timer of an hour, that'll be about the time when his mobile suit will be finished repairing. He had plenty of time to wait for it and during his wait, he had been pretending to plan for the next battle.

*Five minutes before self-destruct sequence goes off and Folken's mobile suit has been fully repaired*

Folken was checking his suit if there was things that were missing and needed to be repaired also. He's just taking his time and still no one had noticed the self-destruct sequence was on yet. Folken had gone on it and had opened the hatch for him to go out. Before he had gone out, he had shot the control room and the self-destruct sequence had started already. All of the members of Zaibach except Folken himself are dead and there was happiness restored in Fanellia. After Folken had reached to the ground, he had destroyed his suit and had gone over to Van's base. Folken joined Van and the brothers had a good time after that.

(A/N: You might think this is the end of my story. I still have a last chapter to work on.) In the next chapter, Hitomi has to make a very hard decision. But, I'm not going to tell you what she has a dilemma on.
