Van closed the cockpit and readied for the battle, Zeke growled continuously as Raven readied himself too. "Ok Raven! You've been asking for this for some time now! I am going to kill you once and for all!" Van yelled out as he lashed out with his Lyger. "Ha Van! You missed me!" Raven was above him, with his Genosaur, and collided with him, knocking Van over. "Damn! So Raven, how's life?" Van yelled out as he quickly jumped back up, slamming back into Raven, sending him flying. "Van, you have gotten better." "Well of course." Van answered as he dodged a beam. "You have gotten slower Raven, where's your organoid?" "He's around." Raven laughed at him as he rammed into Van's Lyger. Van laughed again, a little uneasily at Raven's answer. He remembered how tuff he was when he had Shadow in the Zoid. Van got up and ran to the side of Raven, locking him on target with his missiles. "Ok, eat this Raven!" Raven looked up to see hundreds of missiles flying toward him. He tried to dodge all of them but got caught by a few. "You're going to get it punk!" Raven yelled out as he pulled up on his Zoid, making it jump up. "Ok, lets unleash the ultimate weapon." Van whispered to himself as he pushed a red button in front of him. The side of the Lyger starts to change, shifting a little to the back and a little upwards. A shining blade jets outward, attaching to the side, followed by another, sending a wave of clanks and bangs in the ears of the two pilots. "What the hell are you doing?!" Van smirked at Raven and pulled on the two pulleys in front of him, sending the Lyger forward, and with a new weapon. As the Lyger neared the Genosaur, two long blades shot out from the side of the Lyger. "Shit!" Was the last thing Raven said before getting his Zoid sliced in half from the blades. From afar, stood Endo watching the battle from a cliff. He clutched at his heart as he saw the blades run across Raven's Genosaur. "Brother." He whispered to himself. The words drifted into the winds, to be lost forever. "Van, I hope you come back to me. And you brother. You too." Van had finally done it; he had defeated Raven in combat. Van saw before him a completely destroyed Zoid. "I will. finish.this. once. and... for. all." Van panted out, a flood of pain washing over him. He looked down to see him gushing with blood. His hands full of it. He looked over to see a piece of Raven's Genosaur that he had cut off, lodged itself in the side of the cockpit. "Raven, you bastard. You always want to get the last hit." Van stumbled out of the cockpit, he sees Raven lying on the ground, blood covering him from head to toe. "Spare. Me." He heard Raven gasp out, his voice was raspy, it called for the reaper to pick his soul. "I. won't. Raven." Van pulled out his handgun and aimed it at Raven's face; he smirked a little and felt his finger rest on the trigger. "Do. it. then. Van. I have. no regret. I finally. have been. defeated by. an honorable. opponent." "Answer me one thing Raven. Did you kill my sister?" "I. I did. I wanted to find you. And destroy you." Raven wheezed out as he started to laugh evilly, causing Van to grit his teeth. "And, its. seems that. I have.destroyed.half of. you." Van had dreamt about this time for a long time, he slipped his finger down and pulled the trigger, hearing the bullet shoot out he knew his journey was over. On impact of the bullet, Raven's head had been blown into pieces; brain matter was on the ground, and on Van. He smiled, and fell to the ground from loss of blood. As it pooled around him, he felt a sudden warm presence around him, he let it pick him up and he soon closed his eyes. Van was in and out of conscience for long periods of time. When he would open his eyes, he would only see darkness, no light would enter where he was. He couldn't talk, but when he was somewhat awake he would moan and scream out like a caged animal. Soon, he was able to stay awake. One morning he woke up to see a bowl of stew beside him, he smiled slightly and tried to get up. Slowly, he made his way so his back was resting against the headboard of the bed. As he reached for the bowl, his hand trembled like an old man's; he was very weak. He sighed and found his throat dry and cracked; he swallowed and tried to speak. "H-hello?" Van cleared his throat and tried again. "Anyone here?" Van's voice sounded strange to him, it was a man's voice now; he had grown up. Van gave up and decided to go back to sleep, he would be haunted by his dreams that night. *Dream* Van was walking down a sandy path, the one he had seen every time he was sent to go get water. His sister had sent him there; they needed to drink. He was sweating very badly and decided to take a break. Wiping his forehead with his sleeve he sighed and looked down at his water bucket. He knew he shouldn't drink the water, but he was so thirsty, just one drink wouldn't hurt. He held up the bucket and took a sip. He dropped the bucket instantly; spitting the water out of his mouth he saw the bucket was full of blood. He looked over to the side of the cliff seeing his colony getting blown up, his friends burning and crying out in agony. He screamed out, and saw his sister get shoot with a missile sent straight to his house. He tried to run, but was stuck to the ground. He looked down at the ground, and saw all of his dead friends holding on to his legs. Throwing up at the smell he tried to get away, but was knocked over by an arm of a colonist. He was screaming with a gaping mouth, full of blood and metal. He ran until he fell of the cliff, getting caught by the zoid. It was Raven; he had killed his friends, and sister, and now he was going to do away with him. *End of dream* Van jumped up from fright, screaming. He was gasping for air and clung to a soft cloth in front of him. He tried to focus on the item he held in a death grip, but his eyes refused to do so. He started to cry again, burying his face in the cloth, feeling a warmth wrap around him, he felt warm breath hit him. He looked up seeing a pale face. "A man is never afraid to show his feelings Van." Van knew from then on, that his savoir was also his lover, Endo. "Endo." "Van. I saw you. Your journey has come to an end." "I know." "What are you to do?" Van had stopped crying and was pulling Endo closer to him. "You mean what are we going to do?" Van pulled his face closer to Endo, sliding his lips over Endo's softly, licking the lower lip. Endo sighed, wrapping his arms around him, making the kiss more passionate. "We will find a home. and be together from now on." Endo sighed as he laid Van on his back, lying next to him, holding on to his body, from then on, he knew they would be together for as long as they both lived.
