enjoy.
***************
Van tuned of the video phone. He had an ominous feeling of dread..he knew this was not a good thing. Van heard water running. Fiona had gone to take a shower. Van just lied back on his bed for amoment. As long as he was still here Fiona should be safe. Crow was set to ruin his life, and he would start by hurting Fiona...
Van could not let something like that happen. He wouldn't let Crow get his hands on her. Van rolled over on his side. The Liger would be ready soon. He would be ready to fight this time. Van sat up again and checked out his nearby computer console. Gramps had uploaded a quick technical sketch on what they knew about the Shadow Liger. Unfounrtuatly, that was not a lot. The main weapon they knew about was the antiblade-beam, the weapon that homed in on the particles givin off by Van's blades. So that means he would have to use his blades quickly and resheath them, or else be destroyed by the beam. Van knew in his gut that the Shadow Liger had more in store then what they knew about. If what the doctor said was right the Shadow Liger would be equiped with more counter measures to Van's weapons. As long as he had Fiona to give him support, he would be fine, he would make it through. But with her being the next target....he didn't want to think about this right now. He closed his console and turned on the television. He flipped mindlessly through the channels. Soap operas, cartoons, news, nothing seemed to interested him. The waiting game was killing him. He got the phone and dialed in another number. The engineer answered, along with Zeke to the side of him.
"Van sir, I'm happy to report that the Blade Liger is functioning at optimal efficiency!" The man said, and Zeke roared in agreement.
"Thanks, and thank you too, buddy," Van said, addresing Zeke as well. "Zeke, stay there, I have to keep an eye on Fiona." Van said, but all heads were tuned to something in off in the distance. Suddenly explosions sounded. Screams were heard. The engineer finally came back on the line.
"Van! The Shadow Liger has been spotted! Come quick!" He said, holding his ears from the sound of the explosions. "we don't have any other defensive options!" He said again.
Van nodded. The Liger was ready, he would go. At least since Crow was there, he couldn't hurt Fiona. He shut off the phone and got up, ready to run out of the room. Fiona had just exited the bathroom with a towel on, as Van ran past.
"I'm going to stop Crow, Take care of yourself!" Van said, kissing her on the cheek as he ran past.
"Be careful, Van!" Fiona said, trying to remain serious when grinning like a schoolgirl.
"I will!" Van asid as he rounded the hall, out of sight.
Van quickly reached the outside of the hotel. Luckliy a man was getting on a motorcycle as he was exiting.
"Sorry sir, I need to borrow this!" Van said, taking the keys and hopping on the bike, speeding away.
"HEY!" The biker said.
Van couldn't stop. He was blinded by the need to stop this now once and for all. He drove haphazardly, weaving inbetween cars, just barely missing some. It seemed like hours until he reached the repair bay. Zeke saw him coming, and blasted into the air, coming down and bonding with the Blade Liger. Van jumppe dof the bike, letting it skid and hit the side of the building. He took another jump and landed in the cockpit Zeke had open for him. It closed with a wooshing noise. All systems were indeed operational, if not better than average.
"Mobilizing!" Van said, running off to meet himself.
The Shadow Liger was stading in the prarie outside the city. Van pulled up, facing it dead on. A message appeared on his screen. "
Hello again, Van. Time to die."
It disappeared.
The Shadow Liger started running to the left. Van tunred left as well and started running along side it.
"This time you are not goin to win!" Van said the the other pilot. No answer.
"Coward, huh" No answer again.
Van didn't care. The shadow liger stopped moving and Van quickly turned, ending up behind the Shadow Liger.
"Goodbye Crow!" Van said, firing his shock cannon.
The cannon hit their mark, but instead of hitting the Shadow Liger, the shadow Liger's image faded out, leaving only a small remote zoid. Van fought the urge to swear.
"That..that...worm! It was a decoy!!!!!!" Van screamed into his control panel.
Fiona was in danger now, all because he had underetimated his opponent. He had to find her, and quick. She was counting on him....
---------
Crow set his Shadow Liger down in a patch of trees beyond the lake. He was smiling to no ended, taking great pride into how dumb his counterpart was. The cockpit opened. Crow turned around, grabed Fiona's hand and ripped her out of the cockpit down to the forest ground. She has gagged and her hands and feet were bound. Crow forcefully ripped off the mouth gag. He snickered.
"I honestly don't see how you could possibly like him, ya know." Crow said, sitting down besides Fiona, who was terrified. The fear showed in her eyes. Crow loved it.
"Can't you see? Look at me." Crow threw his sunglasses to the groung, revealing Van's eyes, pitch black to the core. Fiona could barely look at them and turned her head.
"I SAID LOOK AT ME!" Crow screamed, backhanding Fiona across the face.
"You'll get more than that if you start screaming. " Crow said, smiling at her misery and pain. Like prey about to be caught. Crow grabbed her face and turned it to look right into his eyes. He couldn't stop smiling now.
"I am superior to Van in everyway...my zoid, my eyes,...." Crow moved his face closer to hers, forcing her to look directly into his eyes up close.
"I should be the one you love...you are too pretty to be in love with that fool..."
Fiona couldn't stand staring at him anymore. He was not like Van at all, he was pure evil..he took delight in other's suffering...Fiona tried to call out to Van in her head.....
Crow just smilied and hit her again.
[a/n: WAhhh! I'm so sorry Fiona!!!! ;_; Die Crow!]
----
Van began to round the lake. He had to hurry. Fiona was in danger, he'd never forgive himself if something happened to her. Zeke roared, he shared the same thoughts. Suddenly Van felt something...Fiona was reaching out to him.
"Hey, Zeke, do you feel it too?" Van asked. He got a roar in reply.
"Yeah. She's suffering. We gotta hurry! Zeke, find her!"
Zeke roared again. Van's screen lit up with a map of the lake. Using Zeke's powers as an organoid and Fiona's mysterious abilities, Zeke was able to locate Fiona. The ran of in that directing as fast as they could. Van engaged the boosters.
-----------
Crow just laughed at her suffering.
"Come on? Don't you like me?" Crow asked. Fiona tried to back away. Crow grabbed her shoulder.
"Gee, you're gonna hurt my feelings..." Crow said, pulling her back over. Fiona cringed. Crow began to run his fingers through her hair. Fiona was trmbling in fear now. It seemed to feed Crow, he was loving every minute of it. He was playing with her like a mouse captured by a cat. He twirled her hair in his fingers.
"You are very prett...." Crow said, suddenly cut of by the sound of a zoid. The Blade Liger. Crow just sat there, still holding Fiona's shoulder with one hand, her hair with the other. Van and Zeke hopped down to the ground and approached Crow.
"Get your slimy hands off her!" Van yelled.
Crow looked up at him.
"Oh? And what are you going to do to stop me, Van?" Crow said, right after that he pulled Fiona close and tried to kiss her. Fiona tried to fight, but it was no use. He was too strong. Van's blood was boiling. He had reached his limit. He ran over to Crow and was about to attack him, when he suddenly stood up, dragging Fiona with him and threw her at Van. Van cought her just in time. Van huggd her tight. Fiona, tears welling in her eyes, hugged back just as much.
"Aw. What a touching moment." Crow said, interupting, him leaning up against the side of his zoid's leg. "Take her. I don't need to have her to destroy you...besides, I'm sure there are plenty of other girls out there..." Crow said, hopping back into his Liger.
Van growled at him.
"Come on, Fiona! Get in the Liger, we have to stop him!" Van said, looking Fiona in the eyes.
"Ok Van....it's ok now..I have you back with me." Fiona managed a smilie again. She would be fine.
The two hopped into the liger and Zeke binded with it again. The ran out into a more open area for fighting.
"You are one sick person!" Van screamed.
"Huh. Your only talking about yourself.." Crow said, taunting him.
'No.." Fiona said, making sure that it didn't hit home with Van. "You aren't and will never be like him! He's evil to the core.."
Van nodded.
"This time you're going down!" Van said. He mobilized and started to run forward.
Crow shook his head. 'So he's gonna try again?' He thought. 'Pathetic.' Crow worked his controls and ran forward as well. The two zoids clashed togther, trying to claw at each other. They seperated and charged again. Neither did much damage. Crow fired his beam cannon. Van jumped to the side and tried to counter with a shock cannon attack. The Shadow liger dodged with ease and fired at Van, this time hitting him. Van pressed a few buttons and but up the shield.
"Let's see you stop this!" Van challanged.
Van charged forward.
Crow just yet again smilied.
"Goodbye." Crow said. He flicked a switch.
The Shadow Liger opened it's mouth and fired a beam. The shield on the Blade liger shattered, and the cockpit rocked back and forth. Shadow was ready to follow up with his blades but Van was able to recover in time and jump. Sudden;y though his iger lost all power and his combat system froze.
"What the? What did that come from??!!" Van said.
"Van, the pressure it put on the shield to shatter it backed up into your main combat system, overloading it." Fiona said, looking over technical readings in the back.
"I'll spare you for now." He snickered. It'll be much more painful for you to see everything you love destroyed. I'll destroy this world, everyone you love, then I'll destroy Fiona -a shame really- and then finally when everything is gone, I'll take your life. Till we meet again." Crow shut of the link and smilied. They would not live to much longer. He left like a shadow.
Van opened his cockpit. Van, Fiona, and Zeke climbed to the ground. Fiona, a smilie beyond happiness, ran and embraced Van, holding tightly around his neck. Van held her against his chest.
"Thank you, Van, I don't know what would've happened if you didn't save me."
"Don't worry. You've always been there for me and now I'll be there for you." Van said.
They kissed, nowing they were in for a long battle....
