Dark chapter but also lot of romance going on and I wouldn't skip it unless you just hate one or both of those things. Enjoy.

Confession, Passion, and Betrayal

   "Is he alive?" Hermann said looking at Jake Valen through the communicator.

   "Yes sir, he's a little dazed from the blood loss but nothing permanent." Valen turned his head and looked in the room, Fiona and Van alone, comforting each other. "I'd say they'd be back in a week."

   Hermann nodded. "Alright, get back to your unit."

   Valen saluted and ended the transmission. He looked back at Van and Fiona and smiled. "Not a bad couple." He walked out to the main room, Rosso, Viola, Irvine, and Moonbay all sat there watching him walk in.

   "Leaving?" Rosso asked as Valen pushed open the door.

   "Yea need to get back to my unit, probably all dead by now anyways." Valen put his hand up and walked out into the cool desert night.

   "We need to get going to." Viola said standing. "Tell Van we said bye."

   Rosso nodded and stood up, following his wife out of the room.

   Moonbay put her hand on Irvine's shoulder and rested her head on his chest. "What about us?"

   "We'll stay tonight, make sure they all make it all right." Irvine stroked Moonbay's hair gently and watched as she dozed off, he did the same shortly after.

   Raven looked up at the moons and the stars from the window in the room he had been staying in, the clear night nothing like it had been yesterday. Shadow stood besides him, looking up at the bright stars in all their pride and glory. The moons, large and bright, gave the dark desert a haunting glow, but it was relaxing at the same time.

   "Beautiful night." Alice said slowly creeping up on Raven and his Organoid.

   Raven nodded slowly. Alice was wearing a baby blue blouse with her hair flowing freely, and as always she looked gorgeous. No, she looked even better then that, and Raven knew of no words that could describe it. And the night, like Alice had said was beautiful, clear as water and calm as a breeze. "As beautiful as you." Raven said with a soft, low voice.

   Alice smiled and walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing her head to his. "Not something I would expect you to say." She felt Raven kiss her lips gently and his hands slide down her back then resting on her hips. Alice held Raven there, making sure he didn't stop kissing her, she enjoyed it too much.

   In the end though, Raven released his lips from hers and gave her a peaceful smile. "Nobody would expect me to love someone like I do you either."

   Alice smiled back, trying to hold a laugh in. "I thought we couldn't be together though."

   Raven brushed her dark blond hair with his hand, still smiling. "Ill make sure he doesn't hurt you."

   "I'm more worried about you." Alice said, feeling her body tense up as Raven moved his head closer to hers, slowing and gently kissing her neck.

   "Don't be, I can handle my self." Raven continued to kiss her neck, moving slowly to her lips.

   Alice backed up a few steps, taking Raven with her as she lied down on the bed slowly, holding Raven tightly, bringing him down with her.

   Raven felt his heart pick up speed, beating and pumping blood as he lied on top of the girl he loved, kissing her passionately on her lips, face, and neck. "God how I love this girl." He said to himself in his mind, showing it to Alice with his body and passion.

   Alice felt Raven let go of her lips and raised his body slightly, taking off his shirt and revealing his body. His chest and abs were perfect and cut, as if he was a God or marble statue. Quickly she felt Raven wrap his arms around her tightly, able to feel his heart beating against her own. His warm body cooled the tension in her muscles and heart. She felt his hand slowly move down her stomach, gently placing it on her thigh. She felt him kissing her, making love to her, refusing to let her go, and showing her how much he truly did love her. Eventually she felt Raven loosen his grip, but only slightly. He still kissed her, and she didn't want him to stop.  In the end though he did, but not from his own will. Alice felt him give her one last kiss, then she slowly fell asleep, sweat giving her dark blond hair a sparkle when the moonlight shone upon it.

   Raven opened his eyes slowly, looking down at her. He gently moved off of her, but still remained close, putting his arm around her shoulder and breast and he to fell asleep.

   Van looked over at Fiona, she was crying. Not from pain or sorrow, but for joy and happiness. "They didn't hurt you did they?" Van said feeling her hand on his bare chest.

   Fiona shook her head. "No, they just put me to sleep." Fiona said her voice choppy from the tears and sobs.

   Van stroked a few strands of her golden hair that easily rested on the bed. "Should get some sleep, you probably had a hard day."

   Fiona shook her head again, she still was terrified at the sight of Jack's death, and how violent it was. "No, I'm fine." She looked at him, black string sewn into his skin where the bullet had graved his neck and stomach, and a heavy bandaged dyed red from his blood rested tightly on his arm. "But you should rest."

   Van moved his hand off of her hair and put it under her chin. "I wont let anyone hurt you Fiona. Ill die before they do."

   Fiona smiled, leaning over and kissing him gently on his lips, looking into his black eyes. "I know, but I don't want you to die again. It hurt me to watch you die once, and I have to be the luckiest girl ever to have you back for a second chance. I don't want to leave you, but I don't want you to leave me."

   "I wont Fiona." Van stared back at her, giving her a clam smile to show his good will.

   Fiona put his hand on her cheek, feeling its softness and its warmth. "You know Irvine and Moonbay are getting married." She said breaking the long silence.

   Van gave a small chuckle. "Really, how long have you known."

   Fiona shrugged. "A month, maybe a little longer."

   "Wonder why they didn't tell me."

   "I'm sure they would have told you eventually." Fiona said giving him a smile, raising his spirit and morale.

   "I know." Van paused. "Karl died."

   Fiona looked down at him, feeling the lose of yet another friend. "How?"

   "Wild Organoid, Thomas got wounded pretty bad but he'll live."

   Fiona nodded, not really sure how to reply.

   "Why don't you see how Zack's doing? Ill be alright."

   Fiona stood up, kissing his cheek and letting go of his hand, walking out slowly.

   Zack watched as Fiona walked in. "Hey." He said, sitting down in a chair and looking out at the night sky.

   "Hi." Fiona replied with a soft, sweet voice. Zack was in bad shape, his right arm completely covered in a hard cast and his left arm in a sling, a piece of medical tape covering the wound created by the arrow. His back and stomach also wrapped tightly in tape, and his ankle rested in a thick, padded shoe healing and relaxing the sprain. His head also had a bandage over it, covering a wound caused by an accident on the way to the hospital.

   "Doctor says I got one hell uv a will when it comes to survival. Said any other man would have easily died." Zack smiled as he tilted his head back, staring at the ceiling.

   "Glad to see you're all right." Fiona smiling at him.

   "Never said I was all right. So how's Van coming along?"

   "He'll be all right in a day or so. A few gunshot wounds, nothing like what you went though."

   Zack laughed. "You know ever since I met you Iv been injured more times then I ever thought possible. Have to say your bringing me some bad luck Fiona."

   Fiona gave a silent laugh, amused by that saying. "I'm sorry."

   Zack shook his head. "Late, you better get some sleep."

   "What about you?"

   "I'm not going any where for a few weeks, Ill be ok."

   Fiona nodded and walked out, peeking back into Van's room, noticing how he had fallen asleep. She smiled and walked over to a couch, lying down and falling asleep quickly, exhausted from the tragic day she had once again had to suffer through.

   Jason looked at the gasping man, driving the dagger once more into his heart and heard the last breath all men give before they die. "Fools. Pathetic fools." The dead man was Toni; a man Jason knew had no right to die by the claws and fangs of the Tiger. Jason looked around, the bodies of the young Tommy and the aged Cliff also rested on the ground, cold and dead, as they deserved to be. "None of these fools deserved a chance to live." Jason closed his eyes and smiled. "Poor Raven, only speeding the process up. Few more days Phantom, then we kill his new lover." The sun was beginning to come up and the morning glow filled the desert. A light fog settled over the sandy wasteland. Jason turned and stared at the ruins, the evil hiding with in them killed by the most likely person. "I saved Van, Fiona, Zack, Raven, Alice, and Jake." He smiled. "Oh will they die a very terrible death though. Very terrible." Jason felt a sharp pain run through his body, scurrying around through his mind. It wasn't a physical pain, but one he felt deep in his soul. "The Tiger." He whispered looking at Phantom. "They found the Tiger!" His voice was now loud, filled with anger, rage, and fear as he could see the Tiger slowly rising from the grassy ground, which he had hid it in. "Phantom! Find them then kill them!" He jumped on his Organoids back and felt the rush of air as Phantom took off into the air, heading into the direction the Tiger had been buried, the thought of death burning in his mind.

   A small mist rose off of the green grass as a cool breeze blew overhead. The sun was only starting to rise, giving the sky a grayish look as clouds began to appear over on the horizon.

   Thomas looked down at the grave. "Karl Schubaltz." He said with a soft and mournful voice. Thomas did his best to hold back his tears but a few escaped even his toughest attempts. The green, soft grass and flowers around the grave symbolized his importance and Thomas respected that. Emperor Rudolph had made sure he was buried with respect and pride; Thomas could never thank him enough for that. He gave a salute, slow and easy as all the salutes that respected the dead soldiers were performed. Thomas looked around the small cemetery; a few families gathered to mourn there loved ones that had passed on. Thomas took another look down at his brother's grave, his lips twitching and tears slowly rolling out of his eyes. He turned and stormed away, ready to avenge his brothers untimely death.

   Raven opened his eyes, looking at the back of Alice's head. He smiled and released her, listening to a small moan as she shifted her position in bed. Raven looked out at the sun coming up slowly over the horizon, putting his black, long sleeved over his head and straightening it out over his body. The temptation to search out Jason and kill him was strong, but he wouldn't try it with Alice with him, so he decided to wait. Though at the same time he knew he couldn't stay, Jason would find him and kill Alice and Raven didn't want to lose her, not now, not ever. So he would do what he had been trained to do. Run and hide when he faced an enemy he new couldn't be defeated. Though he ignored that with Van. As Raven thought he knew his feelings towards Van were now shifting as well. He was done with fighting him and like Alice had said was ready to settle down and he knew it had to be with her. He wanted her more then Ryss and Fiona combined, though he wasn't sure why. He had only truly known the girl for a little more then a week yet he felt more love for her then anyone else and he supposed that was a good thing. He walked back to Alice and gently nudged her shoulder, watching her slowly wake up.

   "Something wrong Raven." Alice said with a soft, drowsy voice.

   "Were leaving." Raven replied looking over at Shadow who was fast asleep in the corner. "Shadow, come." He said quietly and watched as the Organoid sprung awake. It took them a few minutes before they left, Alice still curious as to where they were going but she guessed it didn't matter, after all she would still be with Raven.

   Zack looked down, watching Raven, Alice, and Shadow quickly and silently walked out of the small colony. He smiled and nodded his head a few times. "Good luck kid." He walked over and lied down on his bed, closing his eyes, ready to fall asleep.

   "So you two are getting married." Van said with a smile, that thought amused him. "And you didn't tell me."

   Irvine laughed. "We don't need to tell you everything, besides we never really saw you again."

   "Well as long as I get invited to the wedding I could probably forgive you." Van replied standing up.

   Moonbay smiled. "Just like old times Van."

   "Yea. I miss those days."

   "Same here." Irvine added as he turned and headed towards the door. "Well van, get better."

   Van smiled. "Good luck you two."

   Moonbay waved at him and gave Fiona a friendly hug as she followed Irvine out.

   "Think we'll see them again?" Fiona asked. Her voice seemed worried and doubtful.

   "Sure, they seem to always follow us around." Van gave Fiona a smile and put his arm around her. "You ready to leave?"

   "I guess, are you well enough to pilot though?"

   Van watched as Zeke barged in the room. "Yea, looks like Zeke's ready to leave as well. Is the Blade Liger repaired?"

   Fiona nodded. "They attached a leg and replaced a few broken parts. You can't fight with it but it will get us to New Helic."

   "That's fine. Lets get out of here." Van walked out and stopped by the room Zack was in, the doctor attending to him.

   "Leaving Van?" The doctor asked as he cut a piece of tape off of Zack's arm.

   "Yea I figured it would be best to get out of here and back to the Republic."

   The doctor nodded. "Alright, just make sure you keep out of action for a week or so. Those wounds might open up again and then you're in big trouble."

   Van nodded and turned his attention to Zack. "You gonna be all right?"

   Zack smiled and nodded. "Takes more then this to keep me down. Raven left so don't bother looking for him."

   Van had completely forgotten about Raven. "Ok, thanks." Van put his hand up and walked away, Fiona and Zeke following close to him.

   Homaleff watched as the two Terrace's landed on the excavation site, Kruger and two men with Republic uniforms got out of them.

   "What is so important that it requires my immediate attention Prime Minister?" Kruger said walking up to Homaleff.

   "We found a Zoid, one we have never seen before." Homaleff pointed to a dark tan canvas. "Lift the cover!" He shouted the order to a man in a tower.

   Kruger watched as the canvas slowly rose up. A massive Zoid appeared. I had the body of a Sabertiger, an orange body with black stripes streaking across its back. Two massive guns jutted out from it back and out slightly to the side and a rail gun resting on the center of its back. He could also see a charged particle cannon resting underneath its neck. "Ill be damned. That thing has enough fire power to."

   "Wipe out every army we could put out." Homaleff finished Kruger's sentence. "Were lucky to have found it first."

   "Don't know if we can call that lucky." Kruger brushed his hair back and stared at it. "Have you had techs search it?"

   Homaleff nodded. "Its old, has a two charged particle cannons, one under its neck and the other in its mouth. Though I don't think it can fire them due to its lack of support clamps like of a GenoSauer. Those two big guns are Hybrid Cannons, very close to the power of the charged particle cannon. The rail gun." Homaleff pointed. "Is a 250mm auto cannon."

   "Meaning it can tear a Zoid in less then 30 seconds." Kruger bit his lip.

   "Defense wise, its equally as powerful. A Class 5 shield, armor that's twice as strong as that of a Dibisions. It has the speed of a Sabertiger, the maneuverability of a Hellcat and the strength of a Blade Liger."

   "Without the weapons on?"

   Homaleff didn't respond.

   Kruger looked back up at it. "This thing is. Incredible." He said amazed at its power. "We need to destroy this thing."

   "I agree but we need to inform the Emperor and Madame President." Homaleff said.

   Kruger nodded in agreement. "Talk to the Emperor first."

   Homaleff turned and walked towards a wooden table.

   Jason felt the hard landing of Phantom, but ignored it as he stared down at the Tiger. "Damn them!" He shouted looking around. The sun hadn't risen in this area yet so the only light was from that of the tower lamps down in the camp. "Phantom, let none escape, kill them all." Jason closed his eyes and heard the chaotic screams as he blew each light out one by one.

   Rudolph looked at Homaleff, stunned and frightened at the news he had brought him. "How can a Zoid exist with that much power?" His voice was that of a frightened child. "Destroy it immediately."

   Homaleff nodded. "Yes your highne…" Homaleff stopped and looked around as the lights began to go out.

   "Is there something wrong Homaleff?" Rudolph asked concerned for the safety of his friend.

   "I don't know, the lights are all blowing out." Homaleff looked out in the shadows as screams of terror and pain began to fill the air. "Oh my God." He watched as two dark figures moved through the darkness as if they were part of it.

   "Homaleff!" Rudolph shouted as the screen fizzled, turning into a gray static filled glow.

   Jason looked around and picked up an axe, swinging it at a solider, slicing it through his arm and half way through his chest. He felt the bullets pierce his skin, but had no effect on him. His eyes glowing with rage and anger, swinging the axe at any man that came into his range.

   Kruger shot his pistol at the figure, knowing he was hitting it dead on.

   Jason saw Kruger and swiftly moved towards him, driving the axe through his neck forcing his head to roll on the ground. Again he swung the axe, mutilating bodies and cutting off limbs. Screams of terror filled the air as he and Phantom continued to kill, continued to massacre. A man tried to grab it from him but he easily over powered him, cutting his leg off then swinging at his hip, slicing his body in half.

   Homaleff tried to escape from the Organoid but its quickness was far superior to anything Homaleff could do.

   Phantom jumped on Homaleff, the sounds of his spine breaking as he landed on him. Quickly he bit the mans neck and head, killing him quickly and it was almost painless, almost.

   Finally Jason watched as the head of the final man rolled at his feet. The sun was up now, and he could see the work he and Phantom had done. The gruesome site of bodies, no pieces of bodies scattered through out the field. The silver axe and wooden handle now covered with blood, skin, and a piece of a mans spine dangled from the blade. The one grassy area was now red, blood covering the ground, turning the green pasture to what seemed like a slaughterhouse. He looked at his body, the dozens of bullet wounds in his body began to bleed. And his blood dripped to the ground, mixing with that of his enemies. He dropped the axe and closed his eyes, raising his head to the sky. The wounds healing and blood drying quickly. Again he opened his eyes, the bodies and their limbs scattered made this a place of Hell, a similar place he had grown up to.

   Rudolph waited impatiently for the screen to come back on, a tech doing his best to establish a connection. Marianne was with him, holding on to him worried just as much as he was. "There you got it." Rudolph shouted with joy, but watched as a strange man came on. He was wearing a black cloak, and a hood that was also black, covering every part of his face except his mouth and chin.

   "I show you the consequences of my wraith." Jason said staring at the young Emperor. "Those who stand against me, those who are everything they should not be." He stepped aside revealing a field of mutilated bodies and blood dyed grass.

   "You monster!" Rudolph shouted as he began to hear Marianne cry.

   "No Rudolph, I am the Devil. I am the one to bring Hell to life and turn every planet in the galaxy to one like this. I kill those who know far to much, kill those who are as evil as me." Jason closed his eyes.

   Rudolph stared at him, his teeth biting down on each other with rage. "You'll pay for this!"

   "No."

   Rudolph turned to see Jason standing behind him.

   "How!"

   Jason didn't give him time to answer, he pulled out a dagger and grabbed his head. "I am the Devil, I am Hell." Jason drove the knife through his throat and listened as Marianne gave a shriek of terror. He then grabbed her head, driving the dagger through her throat as well, ending her screams and tears for good. He felt a bullet pierce his body and saw the tech firing at him. Shaking his head he took the dagger and threw it at him, watching as it pierced his left eye. Jason once again closed his eyes, ending back to where he had started, the field of blood and death. "Damn them for this." He looked at Phantom. "Damn them all."

   The Tiger stared down at Jason and his Organoid, if it could smile it would, if it could laugh it would. But it could not do either, so it stood there, growling in the pit of its stomach. Death had begun, Genesis was near, and extinction was enviable. But it desired rested before it. The blood, the suffering, the torment, and the death was its main purpose. Destroying all those that destroy, killing those it despised and torturing those it thought did not deserve to die.

   Jason watched as its eyes began to glow, the firey red eyes, those blood filled eyes. "It's returned Phantom." Jason didn't smile, for he knew exactly what was upon the universe, its complete and total destruction.  

   The Tiger gave a massive roar towards the heavens, signaling its return to the Gods and stars with in the sky, signaling the return of true chaos, and signaling the end of life that should have died out long ago.
