The metalic sounds of the Blade Ligers legs was strangly soothing to Van. Zeke was piloting the Liger, trying to let Van get some sleep. It was no use, he couldn't. The night was pure black tonight, making the stars seem unusually bright. Van looked behind his seat over to Fiona. She was sound asleep. Good. She needed her rest. Van got a blanket out of a compartment and put it on Fiona. Again, she looked so peacful sleeping, a strand of hair blowing over her face. Van moved the strand aside. He unwillingly turned back again. It would be a long night. They had reports from the Doctor that the Shadow Liger had been spotted moving towards the Empire's capitol. He was probably going to try to attack Ruldolf. He punded on his controls in frustration, forgetting that Fiona was still asleep. He looked back. She didn't stir. Good, he didn't wake her. He wanted to get Crow badly now...after what he tried to do to Fiona. He rested his head back on his seat. He would get no sleep tonight.
---------
Fiona blinked for a few moments, having to readjust to being awake.
"Van, are you up?" Fiona whispered over to the front seat.
"Yeah, all night." Van replied, sounding tired. He needed the rest...
"Oh.." Fiona replied, taking a brush and starting to brush her hair.
"Don't worry, I'll never let him take you again...." Van said, looking back at her, his eyes looking like they were filled with a mixture of anger, sadness, and determination.
"I know Van." Fiona said, smiling at him. Fiona thought to herself..'and if he did, Van would come and rescue me'
Van reached over and touched her cheek.
"Come on, lets go stop this madman...." Van said. Fiona smiled.
Van turned back to the controls and took over from Zeke. They pressed on full speed ahead.
--------------
-meanwhile at the Palace in Giegalos- (a/n that is the name for the empire capitol, correct?)
The newly-coronated Emperor Ruldolf just sat there, watching everyone run around, trying to increase security. He had been briefed on the situation. Van's evil twin was going to try and kill him..didn't he just get done with this 3 days ago? Nothing ever stays peaceful for long. The defense zoids were deployed around the palace. Ruldolf knew he wouldn't feel safe until Van arrived. He folded his hands and waited.
---------------
Crow looked ahead. He was shivering in joy just thinking about how he would ruin Van's life. No one would be a match for him. He would destroy Ruldolf first...then everything else.....
---------------
Van arrived at Giegalos. He stoppped his Liger right behind the walls of the palace after recieving a security permit to go inside. Van, Fiona and Zeke walked up the palace stairs to the throne room.
"Van! Nice to see you again so soon!" Ruldolf said, standing.
"Hi Ruldolf!" Van said, running up to shake hands.
Fiona smiled and bowed. Zeke roared.
"Nice to see you too, Zeke and Fiona!" He said, laughing.
"Ruldolf, we won't let Crow get to you. So don't worry, ok?" Van said, again regaining that confident look in his eyes.
"I know, Van." He said in reply, again looking confident. "Your quarters are ready. Please follow me." Ruldolf started to walk away.
They followed. They were soon led into a royal guest room. The three looked in awe at the room. It was huge. Two Huge beds graced the center rear of the room, with large silk canopys. A elegant ornate table was directly in the center. A massive fruit basket sat on the table, filled with apples, oranges, lemons, limes, mangos, kiwi, and specially for Van, papaya. A exit to the side of the room lead to an extraordinary bathroom, complete with emperial tile and an amazing jacuzzi.
"I hope you like your lodgings.." Ruldolf said, only to sweatdrop, watching Van dive into the fruit basket, eating papayas. Fiona turned to Ruldolf.
"Thank you very much" Fiona said, smiling and bowing politly.
"Sure, no problem. If you need anything, you know where I'll be." He said this and began to walk back to his throne room.
Fiona and Zeke both sweatdropped. Van was still stuffing his face with papaya.
------------------
The entire day had passed without event. It was night again, stars crystal clear, like the night before this ordeal started two days ago. The moonlight rested on Van and Fiona. They had walked into the Royal gardens after sunset. It was a very beautiful garden. Three were trees of every shape and color, colorful flowers were growing everywhere, giving off a sweet fragrance. Van and Fiona were sitting on a bench, next to a crystaline flowing fountain. Again, they sat kissing. It was a very romantic scene, illuminated by moonlight among the color and splendor of the garden. Falling in love was the best thing that ever happnend to him, Van decided. Fiona was sharing the same sentiments. Her warmth gave him comfort, a break from the stess his new enemy. Fiona was enjoying it too, letting Van's warmth wash all her fears and bad memories away. Both broke away for air.
"I love you, Van" Fiona said, restering her head against his shoulder.
"I love you too... Van said, his hand running down her soft hair.
Van wished this moment would last forever.
Fiona had tears in her eyes, not of sadness, but of happiness. She had never been as content or as happy as she is when she was with Van.
"You are the most beautiful girl in the entire world, Fiona..." Van said, sounding almost awkward being his first attempt at acting romantic.
Fiona just smiled up at him, still resting on his shoulder. She put her arms around his neck and pulled up, their lips meeting again. He had got his answer of what Fiona thinks of him. Fiona, leaving one hand around van's neck, reached back into the poor of the fountain and splashed some water on Van.
"Hey!" Van said, smiling.
Van dipped his hand into the water as well, splashing Fiona. Fiona giggled.
This soon erupted into a splash fight. Both kept splashing water at each other, and both were smiling and giggling all the while. Acting frivolus like this seemed to lift even more stress. When they had finished playing, both were soaking wet. They paused and stared into each other's eyes and began to kiss again. How Van wanted this night never to end........
It wasn't going to work that way, though.
They were interuppted by the sound of an alarm. Both broke apart and started to run back to the Blade Liger. They knew what this meant. Crow had arrived. It was time to fight. Still soaking wet, they both reached the hanger in the palace where they had moved the Blade Liger to. Zeke was already there, and as soon as he saw them he blasted into the Blade Liger again. Some of the other pilots stared and wondered why the two were soaked to the bone, but there was no time to ask anything. They had to protect Ruldolf. Van and Fiona climbed up to the cockpit. Van looked back at Fiona. She looked concerned.
"Don't worry, everything will go fine! Besides, we have help this time." Van said, although deep inside he had that same feeling of dread again.
Fiona nodded and attempted to smile. She knew what Van was thinking inside...
Van kissed his hand and touched it to her cheek. It was time to go face their fears face to face again.
The substantial imperial guard force zoids went out first to join the one's already put on defense. Van followed behind. He didn't want to be at the front lines. He would wait to see what would happen.
In a few moments they were outside the city. The Shadow Liger was approaching, any moment and it would be in firing range. The time seemed to drag on. Finally it entered firing range.
"FIRE!" Shouted the commander of the forces.
All the zoids began to fire. A massice cloud of smoek arose from the shell blasts around the Shadow Liger. When it cleared, it was evident they had failed. It's shield was up. Van got a message from crow on his screen.
"Oh, so we have help now don't we? Well, it doesn't matter. I will not fail." Crow said, again taking off his glasses. Fiona looked away suddenly, memories recently taken away coming back. "What's the matter Fiona?" Crow said again, mocking her. He snickered evily. "Your hurting my feelings again."
"Leave her alone!" Van screamed at him.
Crow focused his black, void like eyes on Van.
"For now, I'll get to her eventually though....now to the task at hand...destroying your world...." Crow said, putting his sunglasses back on, as the screen went blank again.
The Shadow Liger began it's counter attack. The guard forces kept firing, but his shield was still up. Crow deployed his blades. They began to glow. Crow had to commend the guards. They must surely know their end is coming, yet they still fire at him. Proud to the last moments..to proud to admit deafeat. The blades had charged up a massive amount of energy. Angling his blades forward in one swift motion, the blade shgaped beams started to spin away almost like boomerangs. The spread out and hit the front lines of the zoids. The energy made a giagantic explosion and knocked out comunications for a few seconds. Van was horrified when he saw what had happened. Almost all of the zoids were desroyed, once great fighting machines to a mere pile of rubble. For the ones that weren't destroyed in one hit, Crow fired shells from his blades untill they collapsed upon themselves. Van was the only zoid left.
"See what I mean?" came Crow's voice again. "Nothing can save you."
"We'll see...Good always wins, remember?" Van said.
"Not this time." Crow said, smiling and then cutting off communication. Van was left again with the Shadow liger, circling him, waiting for a chance to pounce on it's prey. Van turned with it. He would not let him get him of guard. Teh Shadow liger raised it's blades and fired shells at Van. Van jumped over to the side and countered with his shock cannon. Crow dodged and swung his blades down and attempted to slash Van. Van jumped over him and landed on the Shadow Liger's back. Crow moved his blades upwards, peircing the bottom hull of the Blade liger. Crow then fired his cannon straight into the Liger's gapping hole. Van was blown off of his back, his liger sprawling on the ground, damaged. It was no use, Van couldn't get it to move. Many vital cuircuits had been severed.
"See? You can't mess with me." Crow said. He walked off toward the palace.
"NOOOO!!" Van yelled. He pounded the controls in frustration."Zeke, buddy, can't you do anything?" He said, pleading.
Fiona closed her eyes and folded her hands.
------
The Shadow Liger started firing on the palace. Van was no mach for him. His mission would be easy. Suddenly, Crow noticed two stormsorters fly off. Crow knew. They had the emperor. He had escaped from his grasp. Crow swore.
------
Van looked up and saw two stormsorters fly off. Van was relieved. The baron of wings had recued Ruldolf again. Fiona smiled.
Crow came walking back toward the injured Blade Liger.
"Untill we meet again, Van!!!!" Crow said, furiously. He would not let Van keep winning these small victories.
The shadow liger stomped on the Blade liger, doing more damage, causing electricity to flow through the cockpit and some control screens to blow out. With that, the Shadow Liger ran away.
Fiona reached over and hugged Van. They were safe again.........
for now.
