Disclaimer: I believe we went over this before.

*Grins stupidly* Yes, I know. I made a mistake. Raven's parents were not killed by Shadow, but by Ambient. And Van's father was killed by Shadow. I guess I don't pay very much attention to the show, do I? I saw it, but I didn't actually pay attention to some of the small details. Stupid me.

Anyways, none of you did tell me why Raven and Van were after each other. But I think it was because they both thought the other was good and wanted to prove they were better by killing the other. I'm not sure if that right, someone tell me, please, I'm begging you!

Oh, and sorry this one took so long to put up. Lately, I haven't been very motivated to write. It wasn't any of you guys; it was just that I sort of needed to figure out this chapter. Well, here it is!

Raven Falls in Love

Defeated

Chapter 11



Melinda stared at Raven, arms crossed, waiting for an answer. Raven sighed, then said, "Well, I want to kill him because I want to get revenge for the time he beat me in a battle, and I suppose he has a similar reason."

Melinda snorted. "What a good reason." She said while unfolding her arms. "You guys really don't need to kill each other anymore. From what I hear, you've both beaten each other an equal amount of times."

Raven glared at Melinda. "I want to kill him so he won't be in my way anymore!"

"Hey, chill out! Well, are you gonna go tell him off or what?" Melinda said.

"What do you mean?" Raven asked, confused.

"He was pretty low to tell me the stuff he told me. Go give him what he deserves!" Melinda said.

Raven smirked. "You're actually telling me to go beat him up?" Raven said in disbelief.

"Yeah, it was pretty low. Go on, I wouldn't care less. Actually, this is so good, I'm gonna go with you!" Melinda said.

Raven smiled. "Thanks." He hugged Melinda. "Let's go."

"Hey Irvine!" whispered Van.

Irvine looked at Van, a look in his eye's telling him 'This better be good or else.'

"Care to tell me where you guys have been?"

"Ha! Wouldn't you like to know!"

"PLEASE TELL ME!!!" yelled Van.

"Really, figure it out!" Irvine said.

"Give me a hint!" Van said.

"Look at the calendar." Irvine said, pointing to one.

Van went over to the calendar. He looked at the last two days and it said: Dr. D- shield

"I MISSED THE DAY OF THE SHIELDS?!?!?!" yelled Van in disbelief.

"Yep, told you to go to bed earlier!" Irvine said, a taunting look on his face.

"I-missed-the-appointment." Van looked about ready to cry.

Suddenly, the ground shook and a large blast was heard.

"What the hell-" Irvine yelled.

"Where are the girls?!" Yelled Van.

"I'll get them! Get everyone else out!" Irvine yelled.

Van nodded his head. He got Zeke, Thomas, Nick, and Penny out with him.

"C'mon Moonbay, let's go! Fiona, follow Van!" Irvine shouted, pointing to where Van was going.

They felt another blast, and Irvine was knocked out.

Raven was firing missiles to get Van's attention.

"Are you sure he's here?" asked Melinda behind him.

"Yeah, I'm sure. See that Gustav, Lightning Saix, and Liger? That's his gang." Raven said while pointing to the Zoids.

"Oh, I see." Melinda said plopping back to her chair. "Just don't kill anyone, alright?"

"What about Van?"

"No, don't kill him either. He deserves to be hurt, but not killed." Melinda said.

"Fine." Raven said, obeying. 'She's taking control over me now!' He thought.

"Hey! I think Van's coming out now!" Melinda said, pointing next to the collapsed hotel.

"Yeah, that's him alright. He's the one who said crap about me, right?" He got a close up picture of Van on his screen.

"That's him." Melinda answered.

Raven smirked. "He'll pay for what he did now." He moved the Genobreaker closer to Van and the people emerging from the hotel. Moonbay was seen dragging Irvine out from the building.

"Van!" Raven yelled.

Van looked up, and saw the Genobreaker. "I shoulda known! Raven was behind this!"

"Van! I want to battle you, get revenge on what you did!" Raven told him

Van cocked an eyebrow. "What did I do?"

"You told me some pretty bad things about Raven!" Melinda said.

"Melinda? You're in there?" Van said.

"Yeah, that's right." Melinda answered.

"So, you gonna fight or what Van?" asked Raven.

Van sighed and thought about it. "Fine, I will, but only if Melinda gets out." Melinda jumped out of the cockpit and climbed onto a rooftop to get a better view of the fight. Van jumped into his Blade Liger and started her up. Zeke did his regular transformation.

"Alright, let's go." Van said.

"Follow me." Raven commanded.

They went out onto a clear area. "Ready?" Raven asked.

"GO!" Van yelled. Van did a couple fancy moves, trying to impress Melinda instead got a whacking from Raven.

/What the heck are you doing?!/ Asked Zeke. /This isn't fighting at all! You're pulling off poses instead!/

"Zeke, be quiet, I'm trying to concentrate!" Van yelled in frustration. "Alright, time to use the blade attack." He got his blades out and charged towards Raven's Genobreaker.

"Not this again." Raven said. Raven easily dodged his attack, and charged up the particle gun.

Van was taken by surprise of the dodge. He didn't know where he was for a moment, then he turned around once he did. He saw the charged particle gun, and knew he was done for. A second later it fired.

Melinda was totally awed by this battle. She cheered once Raven had won. People looked at her funny and got scared, she was on Raven's side. Fiona and Moonbay were next to her on the rooftop.

"WHAT are you cheering for? Van lost!" Moonbay yelled.

"Exactly!" Melinda said, still jumping up and down.

"For all I know, he's dead!" Moonbay screamed again. Fiona was near tears. Irvine still hadn't woken up.

"Oh, he's not dead, look!" Moonbay looked to where Melinda had pointed to, and she saw a silver organoid on the ground. Moonbay breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, the kid's not dead."

Everybody ran over to Van. Turn's out he's not dead, but pretty beaten up.

Melinda practically flew to Raven. "You HAVE to teach me how to fight!" Melinda said. "Yeah, I'll get you a hellcat once this is over."

He left Melinda confused and wondering, and was walking over to Van. A few people stepped back. "Van, do you know what you did to make me come all the way out here to defeat you?" Van struggled to speak, but said, "I don't know."

"It's because you told Melinda that I was a bad guy, that I wasn't good enough for her. You know, if she thought that, she wouldn't have still stayed with me. You wanted her all to yourself, didn't you? And don't lie, I can tell when you're lying."

Van nodded his head yes, and got a kick from Raven. "You knew she was taken, and there was no point in hoping that you could take her away from me! And she hasn't changed her feelings about me since you told her those lies."

Moonbay stepped up. "So, you're telling us that, you're in LOVE, Raven?"

"That's right, and if ANYONE had a problem with that, tough. Let's go." Raven and Melinda walked off, leaving everyone in awe.

"Now, let's get that hellcat." Raven said.

"Awright!" Melinda yelled.
