******************************************

It was a hard task trying to find one man in the middle of a huge forest on the outskirts of the desert, but she didn't stop looking even though she'd been there for six hours now and getting absolutely no where. Suddenly a transmission came through.

"Stephanie?"

"What's the matter Thomas?"

"I'm going to upload some of beaks (?) files into your liger to aid you in your search."

She laughed. "What?" said Thomas.

"You sound like my brother."

"Done." He said simply trying to avoid the comment.

"Thanks Thomas."

End transmission.

The liger then began to scan the area and found a few footprints. She took what she needed, left Thunder (I forget if I mentioned him at all, but he's her organoid.) to watch the liger, and set out on foot.

About three hours later she came to a huge lake and found Herman bathing in it. The minute she spotted him she turned around and cleared her throat to signal him that she was there. He spun around and she the figure of a beautiful woman with a slim figure and long silk like hair up to her waist.

He recognized her from when he saw her talking to Colonel Crugar during the attacks from the death stinger. He supposed for battle since her normal dress was a pair of slacks similar to Van's and a short sleeve belly shirt.

He quickly scrambled out of the water, grabbed his clothes, and put them on as fast as possible.

"You can turn around now."

She took one look at him and without emotion simply said, "Gee you were either so embarrassed or just starring at me for way to long."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because your boxers are on the outside of you pants," she said as she burst out laughing.

She turned around still laughing, while he fixed himself. When she heard he was done she said, "It's too late to go and walk back to the liger, we'll camp out here tonight and head back in the morning."

With that she began to gather wood for a fire. After the fire was a flame she sat down on a nearby rock starring at the fire. Herman sat there looking rather nervous, not knowing what to say was one problem, but when Colonel Crugar told him he'd be sent on this mission to help a fellow soldier who lost family in a battle, he had know the day to be Van's father's day of passing and expected to see Van, not this girl, of who's name he knows not.

"The names Stephanie, you know me better as Van's cousin, yes the Van that defeated the deathzorer (?). I lost my father and brother five years back. I was trained to be a military soldier by my father, since my brother was the brains that made me the bronze. I'm in the Guardian Force, but not so much like Van, I do undercover operations and such. That's basically why we're here. Any other questions?"

He starred gapping at what he just heard and said nothing, but turned back to gaze at the fire like the beautiful maiden that sat beside him.
