Van majestically rides on as Escaflowne continues to fly through the clouds, giving the both of them a bird's-eye view of the landscape. As they begin to fly over the mountains, Van oversees several dark-armored figures mounted on black horses.

"There's that bitch Dilandau and his Dragon Slayers," Van says with a smile. "I guess I'm going to pay them a surprise visit."

"Where the fuck is that bitch Van?" asks Dilandau. "Maybe he fled because he is scared what you are capable to do, Dilandau," says Jajuka, a canine-human who is lieutenant of the Dragon Slayers. "You're right, Jajuka, maybe he did run a way like the little bitch he is," Dilandau says with an evil smile.

As they continue to talk, they never realized that Van was heading straight for them. Escaflowne dives straight for the Dragon Slayers as Van gets ready to dismount the dragon armor.

"DILANDAU!!!!!" Van exclaims as he dives toward Dilandau and the Dragon Slayers.

Dilandau dodges the attack that nearly killed him. "You idiotic mother fucker," says Dilandau in disgust. "Dilandau, do you need any-" Jajuka begins. "Shut the fuck up and leave this between me and Van," says Dilandau. "I won't need any help defeating the king of Adom. Besides, it won't be too long."

As the rest of the Dragon Slayers begin to leave, Van draws out his sword and charges angrily at Dilandau, but Dilandau fires a force of energy at Van and is sent several feet away from Dilandau.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the king of Adom," says Dilandau as he approaches Van. "Luckily, I get to kill you, and then all of Gaea will be ruled by the Black Dragon empire!" Dilandau says, as he begins to laugh.

"That will never happen Dilandau, you son of a bitch," Van says weakly as blood starts to flow from his right arm. "Haha, that's what you think!" says Dilandau. "I think I'll finish you off right now." As he draws his sword and raises it above Van, Van yells and shoots a burst of energy from himself.

"You bitch!" Dilandau exclaims, holding his stomach. Van gets up off the floor and fires another burst of energy toward Dilandau.

They both exchange energy blows from each other. The two aren't able to get up, but as they struggle to stand, Van calls upon Escaflowne with his last ounce of strength.

Escaflowne swoops down to Van. "Haha. Impressive, Van. But I, too, have brought a surprise," says Dilandau, smiling, as Alseides emerges from behind the fallen leader.
