Hey, this is my first ever fic! Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Zoids, or any of its characters. But I do own this story! Do not steal it, just read it for fun, ok? Anyway. Chapter 2 Hours later, in the middle of the endless, scorching desert, Zeke finally broke down and jumped on top of the Liger. 'Poor Zeke! He must be sweltering out there!' moaned Fiona sympathizing with the baking organiod. 'Gimme a break! It must be a hundred degrees in here! The Liger's gonna over-heat and then we will be in major trouble!' Van griped. Fiona smiled. They were off to another set of ruins, where hopefully; they would find another answer to their many questions about Zoid Eve. 'Calm down Van! We'll be there shortly.' They soon were. And wished they weren't. A mass graveyard of Sleeper ZOIDS was on the ground. They had seen this once, a long time ago, when they had first met.. Raven!

Fiona shivered in the warm night air. She wasn't cold, far from it in fact, but the thought of Raven always scared her. She didn't mean to be, she knew that's what Raven lived off: other people's fear of him. So, she was ashamed to be so scared and travelling with Van. " You silly girl!" her mind screamed at her, " Van's braved countless dangers for you, and you get scared at some ZOIDS pilot!" "Ah, but when Raven is the pilot in concern." her logical self told her. She finally drifted into an uneasy sleep. Meanwhile, Van had worries of his own, only his were about Fiona. " Should I really take her into a battle, knowing that she and I might not get out alive? Or is there another menace out there for her, not me?" he pondered far into the night, until sleep overcame his treacherous eyes. 'VAN!' screamed a dying Fiona, with a wounded Zeke next to her. She was sobbing. ' I'll never forgive you!' she yelled at him, 'Never!' He woke up sweating. Fiona slept serenely, or at least it looked like she did. And Zeke, well, Zeke could have been dead! "Man! He sleeps like there's no tomorrow!" Van thought to himself. He drifted into a dreamless sleep. And woke up to Fiona shaking him. 'Van! You have to get up! We've got to get away from this place!' Zeke was roaring his disapproval at him. Apparently, explosions were happening all over the abandoned complex they'd found. Raven was house calling.
