(Part 7: The Past)
"First Van Flyheit; you never actually defeated me and the deathsaurer. All we did was fuse; just as Prozen did before me. What you see there is a clone of Prozen with his brain waves and memories scanned onto it, and we have millions of blank people that we can clone! Second; I like to interrupt you at your most passionate moment because I find it to be rather thrilling to ruin other's lives. And Third: You are stupid and don't know how to beat me."
The liger roars, and out from its mouth erupts a shock wave of incredible power rippled the air. Hiltz looks a little disturbed at this; seeing as he has a great new force to contend with; and his face goes from a smirk to a dropped jaw.
"I told you that you wouldn't want to make me mad. You did; and this is the result! Are you happy? I know that I have something positive I can blame on you now Hiltz!"
"I-I-I-incredible!!!!! I have never seen such power! Even the deathsaurer didn't have near this much power! I cannot contend with this in my current form! AMBIENT!!!"
The ground begins to shake violently as a new figure emerges from the center of the old ruins. The tallest building in the center splits down the middle as a red-glowing figure that looks not unlike Fiona in her younger years emerges from the depths of the planet.
"Fiona, do you know anything about yourself? Who you were, what your purpose was, or even who your parents were? Or did you even want to know?"
Van lunges forward. "Hey! Leave Fiona out of this! She is already hurt enough as it is! She doesn't need you and your taunting to make it worse! So shut up a..."
Fiona cuts off Van; "Van, it is okay. Let me talk. I think we can learn a little from this."
Van looks down at Fiona who is still propped up in his lap. "Okay, if you want. But don't let anything he says get to you. I love you, and what happened a long time ago has no effect on how much I love you."
"Enough with the romance! Do you want to know a little about yourselves before you die?"
"Keep your shoes on! At least let her sit up!"
"I had no idea she was laying down!" Hiltz cocks an eyebrow of curiosity.
"What did you want to tell us Hiltz?"
"I wanted to tell you who you two were; and who your parents were."
"Umm. you made that statement plural, I know who my parents were!" Van criticizes Hiltz for using "improper grammar".
"Ah, Van. You know who your father was. But did you know your mother?"
"No. now that you mention it.."
"Your sister did. She knew who Fiona was right off the bat. Only a Zoidian could possess such sensitive eyesight. Your mother was also a Zoidian; found by your father during adolescence. Your sister wanted you to stay away from the ruins in fear that you might find something of interest to the Imperial forces; an organoid would be a good prize, but a Zoidian. that would be of much greater value to the empire. She was afraid that you would find something and then the Empire would have reason to come back.
Do you know what happened to your mother?"
"I told you; I don't know anything about her, I haven't even seen a picture of her."
"Well, now that is a shame. She was quite an extraordinary person. Anyway; Prozen ended up killing her while trying to capture her.
Now, it is time for your history Fiona. Do you know who your parents were?"
"No. but I have a feeling that that statue over there that looks quite a bit like me has something to do with it."
"Oooo. sharp. Yes, that statue was built in honor of you, the supreme ruler's daughter. You were the daughter of the ruler of the planet at that time. You were well renowned and nearly worshiped for your beauty that seemed to defy your young age. You were famous, as well as smart; and you had much knowledge of how zoids and the planet worked together. When the great deathsaurer was created, you were one of the first Zoidians preserved because you were one of the most important people that needed to live on.
Your father was wise; he knew that whoever found you would be kind and gentle, as well as the one that you'd most likely become married to. He knew that you'd be found by a good person that would help you become the person you once were. He also sent along one of your favorite organoids as a guardian for you."
"Wow, Fiona. I never knew that. well. neither did you; but that is pretty cool. but then what does this statue have to do with it. and more important than what this structure WAS. what IS it doing NOW!?"
Fiona whispers to Van: "Whatever it is; I am getting some weird feelings from it. much like the Zoid Eve. but more powerful, but more pure."
"This. is the statue built in your honor Fiona. It has 10 times the power of Zoid Eve, but is more selective in who and what it helps, due to the fact that it was built in the honor of a pure person. This posed a challenge for Prozen and I to overcome, but we found a loophole through tons and tons of research. This statue is capable of more than producing Zoid cores, but also in fusing any zoid core and being successful, the evolution of zoids without pilots, and the ability to give zoids free will. in that they do not have to obey their pilots, and act much more like large mechanical animals in the wild."
"Sounds interesting. and could be a good thing. If only you hadn't found it! But why did you need Fiona so badly? Tell me that and then I could get around to beating you into the ground and helping Fiona shut that thing off!"
"Persistent aren't we? Well, we needed Fiona to resurrect the structure. And we had other proposals in order.."
"Uhh. Yeah. okay. Can I get around to blowing you up now?"
"Why you insubordinate punk! I'll teach your dirty blood a lesson in fusion!"
Raven looks on in awe as he sees the Liger's new look. Reese, on the other hand, is more concerned about the statue of Fiona and its fusion capabilities. "Raven, don't you think you should be concerned about those big glowing orbs in the sky over there, that seem to be heading towards the deathstinger?"
"What orbs?"
Reese grabs a hold of Raven's head and turns it in the direction of the orbs. "THOSE ORBS!!!!"
"What the devil is goin' on here?"
"Good question. maybe we should just stare. or maybe we could go find out!"
Van puts his arms around Fiona who is sitting in front of him, facing out towards the front of the liger. "I won't let you down." With that; Van charges the deathstinger; which is now about to come into contact with the flying shinny orbs.

Short chapter. I know. But I couldn't think of much else to say in that one. next chapter is really going to throw you for a spin; and give you your fill of romance for the year.
Sorry if you lost me on my theory back there in chapter 6 (I think it is my theory. unless someone else came up with it first. but I haven't heard anyone say they have). it is a little more in-depth than what I go into. but that is the essential basis for what my theory is about. and I wanted to employ it here. and it makes for a reasonably interesting story (or at least I think it does).
