Disclaimer: Ok I think any one who is reading this knows that I a petty fan fiction writer dose not own Esca. or any of the characters. But I sure as hell wish that I did.
Random note thing: Well I put up the first chapter and I think that I did a good job on that one and I'll try to do a good job on this chapter too.
Some helpful Info: Ok right now Hitomi, Merl and Van are in the forest after they were discovered by the general that told Dilandau how to find them. But they had to escape and are now camping out on the edge of a clearing. Oh yes and Mugel isn't dead in this fic.
Chapter #2
You will say my name
Dilandau moved his guymelif over to the left a bit and then moved forward. The message that Gatti had given him from one of the generals that was patrolling this area said that the dragon was near. Dilandau and five of his dragonslayeres (Shesta, Gumel, Gatti, Mugel, and Dalet) were in there guymelifs with there stealth clocks on. They all moved forward onto the edge of a clearing. There was on the opposite side of the clearing Escaflowne and between it's giant feet was a small fire. Leaning up against Escaflowne's left foot was Van Fenel looking into the darkness.
Hatred filled Dilandau and he felt adrenalin fill his veins. He ordered for the dragonslayeres to move in three units to surround them Shesta and Gumel moved to the left of Van and Escaflowne while Gatti and Mugel moved to the right. Dalet and Dilandau moved straight forward to Escaflowne.
"Remember we have orders to not kill the girl but we can kill Van and that annoying cat girl that fallows him around." Dilandau's voice crackled over the intercom.
They moved in close so there would be no room for them to escape. There guymelifs were practically shoulder to shoulder in a circle around them. Van who was at one point looking into the darkness had fallen asleep when he should have been watching guard.
"Van your mine!" Dilandau cried as he said this in his mind he thought 'Hitomi I'll have you by my side no matter what. You won't cry out Van's name when your in trouble but mine. You'll cry out MY name!" he then moved aside his stealth cloak to let out his liquid metal claw.
"VAN!" Hitomi cried she had gotten up and shoved Van out of the way. The claw bounced harmlessly away off of Escaflowne's thick armor. With that all of the other dragonslayeres began to attack...

"We have to keep the girl alive kill the rest!" Dilandau's voice crackled over the intercom. The guymelifs closed in when Van had gotten up almost inside of Escaflowne when a liquid mettle claw shot out of a guymelifs claw and knocked him off also piercing his thigh. Van fell and landed on his head with a horrible crack! Dilandau was giddy, he looked down to see Hitomi scream which send pain through his hart. He hated Van but he love Hitomi and all he wanted was to make her happy.
'Orders are orders.' The voice in his head said. Dilandau had recovered from his previous failed attack and was about to kill Van when he hers a loud CRASH! Looking off to the side he had just enough time to see a sword swinging and slicing through his guymelifs shoulder and down the side. It was at that moment that his guymelifs went haywire. The gears grinded against each other and smoke pored out of the chest of the giant guymelif.
The dragonslayeres were not fairing to well against Allen who had showed up just in time and Van. All Dilandau remembered was yelling through the intercom. "Retreat we'll come back and give them hell once we regroup!" But before he could turn his guymelifs around a second blow took him from behind, then all was black...

There was an annoying click click noise that went back and forth. Dilandau gowned and slowly cracked open one of his eyes. His vision was blurry but then he could focused his eyes to see a guard walking back and forth in front of a cell that he was in. The guard stopped.
"Oh so your aware are you. Have enough beauty sleep?" He sneered.
A growl escaped Dilandau's throat. The guard went to the door and talked to someone through the bars. Then a few moments laughter Van, Allen and Gaddis came in.
"Well if it isn't the pansy, the women and the women's bitch." Dilandau said an a matter of fact kind of way.
This only angered them. But he was Dilandau he would never tell them anything. No matter what...
~*~
Hitomi walked back and forth pacing in her room aboard the Crusade something kept bothering her but she could not figure it out. When Dilandau and his men had attacked them she could of sworn that she herd Dilandau say something. But he didn't say it with his voice but with his mind. 'Hitomi I'll have you by my side no matter what. You wont' cry out Van's name when your in tubule but mine. You'll cry out MY name!'
Shaking her head she walked over to the window and looked out. The forest was only about fifty feet below them, they had to fly low incase an enemy spotted them. The forest was beautiful she wished that she could live in a beautiful place like this. As she looked out the window she remembered when she was a child, always dreaming of a beautiful castle to live in and a knight in shining armor. Hitomi pictured Allen as her shining knight, but for some reason the image didn't fit. It was just wrong and didn't fit her image of a perfect life.
"What's wrong with you?" A voice asked behind her.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Merl don't do that! Hasn't any one ever told you to knock before entering someone's room!" Hitomi yelled at the cat girl.
"Actually many people have an your the one that tells me that the most." She said then left.
Sighing Hitomi wondered why Merl always bothered her? For some reason the cat girl was always around when ever she was trying to think of something important. Suddenly she felt really tired and fell asleep on her bed.

Allen, Van, and Gaddis walked out of the cell and Allen handed Van a rag who handed it to Gaddis when he was done with it. After Gaddis has wiped off all the blood from his hands he through the rag at Dilandau. It landed on top of him but he didn't move.
"Well he tuff I'll give the son of a bitch that." Van said as they all walked off the mess hall to get something to eat. They left Dilandau bruised, and bloodied on the floor of his cell within inches of death...
