Okay, a lot of junk. let's get on with the story
~~~Chapter 4~~~
~~ Somewhere in the wild waste land ~~
"I am a... transporter... of the waste land... I am just... making it up... as I go... I am a transporter of the wild waste land... I never known just where the dusty road will lead me to..." the beautiful song flowed out of a pink Gustav, (I wonder who the pilot is.) heading towards Mount. Isolina (Don't you think that mountain is getting very popular these days?) and carried behind it was some wooden boxes. The pilot sang happily whilst driving through the 'dusty road', not knowing what trouble lies ahead.
~~Van and Fiona's room~~
Van sat up on the bed and yawned. It was early in the morning. He looked next to him and saw Fiona tossing and turning in the bed. She must be having nightmare again, Van thought worriedly to himself.
Zeke, probably woken by Fiona's tosses and turns, growled worriedly too. Even Zeke is worried about Fiona, Van thought angrily, but we couldn't even help her.
Then his mind wandered to yesterday's battle. He got out of the blankets, got changed, and signalled Zeke to follow him. They sneaked out of the room and headed towards the computer room. All of this was done with the slightest noise possible.
~~ the computer room ~~
"Ok, now Zeke, this is the idea," Van said while starting up a computer. "I've thought of how the blue commend wolf escaped yesterday and I've came up with two conclusions. One, the pilot must have done some research on the landscape in this area so he could escape easily. Or two, the attacker actually works or lives in this area. And since blue commend wolfs aren't terribly common, I thought we might be able to search for people who live or work in this area with a blue commend wolf. Also, I've noticed that the commend wolf is equipped with some recently developed weaponry which is known only to a few bases include this one. There must be a spy in this base. So Zeke, what do you think?"
"Roar, roar... {How am I supposed to know? Organoids can die trying to figure out some dump human question you know.}"Zeke complained to Van in mock sadness.
"I'll remember that, Zeke." Van said grumpily while clicking on the search button.
~~back to Van & Fiona's room ~~
Fiona woke from her nightmare. It was about the terrible destructive Zoid again. "It is only a dream," she told herself, but it was so real! Another voice said in her head. Maybe it is real, maybe it is a prophecy. It might be important to Van, she thought, I'll tell him about it, he'll sort things out.
It was then when she turned around to tell Van about the dream she discovered that Van and Zeke had left the room already. I'll just have to remember the dream until I get the chance to tell him then, she thought unhappily to herself. But then, when she tries to recall what the dream was about, she couldn't remember any of it at all.
Fiona's stomach growled in hunger and she thought that Van will probably be hungry too. He's probably too busy doing whatever he's doing that he forgot to eat his breakfast. I better go and remind him about breakfast, she thought, and went to get changed.
~~ the computer room!!! ~~
"Wow, Zeke! Look at the result! I never thought so many people owns a blue commend wolf! How are we suppose to find that person in all this crowd?" Van cried out in despair.
"Grrrr... {Thinking hurts my brain...}" was Zeke's reply. Then both Van and Zeke froze, hearing footsteps coming their way.
"Van, Zeke, let's go and have breakfast!" Fiona shouted at the first sight of the two frozen figures that are called Van and Zeke.
"Fiona?" Van said in surprise when he came back to reality "I thought you were still asleep!"
"Oh, I've only been up about 5 mins ago anyway. What are you doing in the computer room anyway?"
"Er... we were doing some research. How about I save this and we'll discuss this later, cause I'm sort of hungry right now..."
Silence.
"Um...Van, I don't think I know the way there..." Fiona said, clearly embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'll lead the way." Van offered kindly while Zeke stood beside them, listening to the whole conversation with interest.
It was because they were so into their conversation, that none of them saw a dark figure sneak into the computer room, and changed the result of their search.
~~the front entrance of the base ~~
A pink Gustav drove into the base, and stopped. Moonbay jumped out of the cockpit and shouted at a nearby soldier.
"You there! Tell that guy who employed me, whatever his name is, his things have been transported here and I want to get paid for transporting his heavy load..."
"And why should I help you?" the soldier interrupted rudely.
"Because, someone claim that they will pay me for transporting this to the science section in this base, and I won't leave here until my job is done and I get paid." Moonbay replied sweetly (in another words, dangerously) to the soldier that's so sweet it gave him the shivers.
~~after breakfast~~
". and that's about it. What do you think, Fiona?" Van asked excitingly after they finish their breakfast.
"I think that's a great idea! But could I see the blade liger first?"
"Sure thing. Come on" Van said, and walked off.
Not long after they start walking, they saw a pink Gustav. A person with spiky ponytail is leaning on the side of it, waiting impatiently.
"Moonbay! " Van and Fiona cried out in unison while Zeke roared out a greeting.
"Van! Fiona! Zeke! Nice to see you here!" Moonbay shouted excitingly to them. (Talk about a small world.)
"It's nice to see you here too, Moonbay." Van said while Fiona smiled warmly. Then Van saw the wooden box that is lying behind the pink Gustav.
"Hey, Moonbay, what's that?" he asked, pointing towards the wooden box.
"What? Oh 'that'. I don't actually know. Someone just sent me this weird e- mail and told me to pick this package up and sent it here. Didn't even leave his name, some good manner that person sure have. If it isn't for the money, I wouldn't even want this job. Plus I have to transport it over the desert..." Moonbay complained. Van, Fiona and Zeke sighed. Moonbay haven't changed a single bit, they all thought.
"We better get going now. See you later, Moonbay." Van said at last, and the three of them walked away.
~~the hangers~~
Dr D was still working on the Blade Liger when they arrived. He heard their footsteps and turned around to see Van, Fiona and Zeke coming his way.
"Thanks, old Gramps. I really appreciate you being so helpful." Van said when they arrived in front of him.
"Oh, that's nothing. Besides, this is actually an opportunity for me to run a few tests on the blade liger's performance. By the way, I found out a way to increase the attack boosters' ability. Do you want to do it?" Dr. D replied.
"I'd love to..." Van replied, "But..."
"Well, let's get started then, we might be able to finish it before that Zoid strike again." Dr. D said, cutting Van's sentence short.
"Yeah, I guess."
~~some time later~~
Fiona was bored out of her mind, because Van and Zeke were forced by Dr. D to work on the Blade Liger. She suddenly sensed a very powerful Zoid's presence, and she ran towards it out of curiosity.
When she finally stops, she was standing in front of a door. Where is this place? She thought with a frown. I've never been here before.
Slowly, Fiona opened the door. It was pitch black in there, but as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she gasped in horror. A Zoid, massive in size, is in the room. The Zoid that had haunted her dreams for days, it reminds her of something, she could sense it all too well, something that should never had been made.
In the corner of the room, a pair of brown eyes glowed, and the thing, whatever it is, growled. Beside the pair of eyes, a voice ordered.
"Be patient, Emerald. Let's see what Alisi Lynnette can do about it."
The organoid growled again, and retreated into the darkness.
Fiona walked slowly towards the Zoid, her hands stretched out in front of her. Somehow this Zoid looks really familiar, though she doesn't recall seeing this Zoid, and most definitely will remember a Zoid this size. She breathed some words out slowly, "You're not supposed to be here. Go back to where you belong..."
The Zoid's eyes glowed red, then faded to normal as it began to move. Fiona was terrified as she realizes what she had done. She had ordered this Zoid to go, yet she forgot to consider the fact that this Zoid's only way of going anywhere will destroy the whole base!
Emerald growled again urgently at its master, and this time his master agreed. The organoid's eyes glowed, and instantly Fiona felt pain at the back of her head and fall onto the floor, unconscious.
The same time Fiona hit the floor, the Zoid stop moving.
"That was a close one. Now we have to make sure that Alisi Lynnette won't see it again until the time comes." Caren said evilly, and smirked.
~~~~~
Van was working hard on the blade liger when he sensed something wrong. Zeke also lifted his head.
"You felt it too huh, buddy?"
Zeke growled in reply. Van turned to ask Fiona if she have sensed it too when he and Zeke suddenly realize that she isn't there anymore.
"Fiona?" Van called out. Dr. D turned around curiously to see what the matter was and he was rather surprised by Fiona's disappearance as well. Zeke sniff the air for a few moments, and ran out of the hanger.
"Hey wait up, buddy!" Van called after him, knowing that he probably had caught Fiona's scent.
Quickly, he got up and followed Zeke out of the hanger.
~~~~~
"Where... am I?" Fiona murmured to herself as she gradually came to her senses.
"You, my dear, is in somewhere where Van Freiheit will never find you." A voice smirked behind her. Fiona turned around sharply but saw nothing. Something is not right, she thought, I can sense it all too well. But what is it?
There was also a presence of another organoid that she had sensed, not a familiar one though. That's strange, she thought to herself. There was only few organoids that she had known- Shadow, Specular, Ambient and Zeke. But this doesn't feel like any of them.
Just when she was feeling down, Fiona thought of something Van said to her before, when Raven first shown up after Van defeated him. 'You know I will always be there when you need me', and Fiona have no doubt in it, at all.
Fiona called out confidently to the voice "Van will find me! He'll figure out somehow! I believe in him."
Silence. then, "Is this really so? Then you will see that you're wrong! Emerald, quieten her."
Fiona gasped in shock. That must be it! The unfamiliar scent comes from Emerald, the organoid! That was her last thought as she falls into the welcoming arms of darkness, again.
~~~~~
Van was fallowing Zeke along the corridor before he bumped into Justine and Moonbay arguing.
"What's the hurry, Van?" Moonbay asked, after sticking out her tongue at Justine while Justine does the same thing.
"Oh, hey, Moonbay, Justine. Me and Zeke is trying to find Fiona. Have you two seen her?" Van replied worriedly.
"What? Do you mean that you know her?" both exclaimed at the same time, pointing at each other while take no notice about the questions Van had just asked.
"Urh. I haven't got time to argue you people here. I have to find Fiona! Zeke, wait up!" Van shouted to Zeke, who had been urging Van for the last few minutes, and ran off again, leaving two people.
"How come you know Van?" Justine asked suddenly.
"That's my business, not yours" Moonbay answered
"Yes it is!"
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is!"
"No it's not!"
~~~~~
"Um... what did he said about Fiona again?" Moonbay suddenly asked after a few seconds.
"Dunno... "
Another few seconds of silence.
"I'm gonna fallow Van!" Moonbay said suddenly and ran off in the direction that Van went.
"Hey, wait up!" Justine shouted to her, and fallowed. ~~~~~
Justine and Moonbay caught up with Van and Zeke with unbelievable speed, even they themselves can't really believe they caught up with Van in less than 1 minute.
It just so happened that Zeke stopped when the two people caught up.
"Hi, you two. I thought you aren't going to help."
"Uh... we changed our minds" Justine replied nervously
"So what happened to Fiona?" Moonbay asked with interest.
"She has gone missing." Van sighed, and answered
"What! Van, you better give me a clear explanation!"
Suddenly, Zeke took off again. Van ran quickly after him, hoping that Zeke have caught Fiona's scent again.
"Tell you later..." Van shouted to them as he turned a corner.
"Hey! Wait up!" Justine and Moonbay shouted to him, and ran off after him.
~~~~~
Zeke and Van were running along the corridor when Van sensed something unusual and stopped in front of a normal looking wall.
"Roar... {this way }" Zeke roared impatiently after finding out Van had stopped.
"Wait, Zeke. There's something wrong with this wall... I can feel it! I think it's Fiona."
"Roar? {I'm confused}" the organoid said then sniffed the air, and became so confused he starts to have swirls of lines replacing the eyes." Roar, roar{there's two Fiona smell now and both leads to two completely different place...}"
"Well, where do they lead too?"
"Roar... {one here and one there}" the organoid said in even greater confusion with one arm pointing to the wall and the other arm the completely opposite!
"Okay, that'll be a hard decision..." Van paused and thought for a moment and the moment is long enough for Moonbay and Justine to catch up to him.
'I will trust my instinct' Van thought. He when up close to the wall and tried to see if there's any secret switches. Suddenly, the wall split open into three sections when there wasn't even a crack there before, and behind the wall was Fiona lying unconscious on the floor.
"Fiona!" Van cried out, and ran over to her, "Fiona, wake up!"
Fiona opened her eyes slowly.
"Van, I knew you would come for me, I just knew it! I saw this big scary Zoid and a green organoid..."
"have some rest and don't talk, Fiona."
"No, you don't understand. This organoid's power is to." Fiona never got to finish her sentence, for she seemed to be unconscious, again. And she stayed unconscious for the rest of the day.
'I wonder what Fiona saw...' Van thought as he gently place Fiona on Zeke and left the room.
~~back at the 'secret room'~~
Justine and Moonbay were still wandering around the room where Fiona was, trying to see if they could find out who did it.
"How come Van knows that there's a secret room behind the wall?" Justine said out loud while looking at the switch Van had opened the 'wall' with, although she doesn't seem to be talking to anyone in particular, "even I don't know about the existence of that room."
"Love, it's obvious to everyone except themselves. They love each other. Van found Fiona because he loves her and have a special bond with her. Fiona could also tell where Van is in the same way." Moonbay reply her.
Justine seemed to have turned to stone and fell apart when she heard what Moonbay had said(if you can't get the picture, think of Thomas in the episode 'Cerberus' when Fiona said his face is funny...^^).
"They... love... each other...!?"
"Yep, has been for years," Moonbay replied, and wandered away, leaving Justine alone where she was
"I never had a chance from the beginning after all..." Justine murmured to herself, and sighed.
~~~~~
"Emerald! I thought you said had them all under control! Why did Van still found Fiona in the end?" an angered voice boomed
"Roar, roar, roar...{it was an accident, I thought I had perfect control of the silver organoid }" came the organoid's reply
"Accident or not, the Ancient Zoidian might still ruin our plan!"
"Grrr...{it won't happen again, master}"
"It better not"
~~~~~
Van was just back from the hanger when he saw Fiona sleeping peacefully. For some unknown reason he edged close to her, and lightly kissed her on the lips.
'What did I do that for!?' he thought to himself as he quickly step back in surprise. Confused he was, he grabbed some blanked and made a bed on the floor, although he didn't get any sleep, he tossed and turned all night thinking about that question.
A/N: again, very, very, 100%ly sorry for the late update. but the next chapter could take even longer. evil Blackie starts to laugh. Muahahaha. Okay, back to the main thing. I will update, and I will finish this story, but I lost my notebook which I have basically written the whole story in it. so the next chapter will probably take me about, hmm... ages. SORRY!
By the by... please praise me for this long, long chapter by reviewing.
P.S. you MUST review... or else I would... wait, I can't do anything about you not reviewing [sigh]... roar, roar {please review anyway}.
Okay, a lot of junk. let's get on with the story
~~~Chapter 4~~~

"They... love... each other...!?"
"Yep, has been for years," Moonbay replied, and wandered away, leaving Justine alone where she was
"I never had a chance from the beginning after all..." Justine murmured to herself, and sighed.

"Emerald! I thought you said had them all under control! Why did Van still found Fiona in the end?" an angered voice boomed
"Roar, roar, roar...{it was an accident, I thought I had perfect control of the silver organoid }" came the organoid's reply
"Accident or not, the Ancient Zoidian might still ruin our plan!"
"Grrr...{it won't happen again, master}"
"It better not"

Van was just back from the hanger when he saw Fiona sleeping peacefully. For some unknown reason he edged close to her, and lightly kissed her on the lips.
'What did I do that for!?' he thought to himself as he quickly step back in surprise. Confused he was, he grabbed some blanked and made a bed on the floor, although he didn't get any sleep, he tossed and turned all night thinking about that question.
A/N: again, very, very, 100%ly sorry for the late update. but the next chapter could take even longer. evil Blackie starts to laugh. Muahahaha. Okay, back to the main thing. I will update, and I will finish this story, but I lost my notebook which I have basically written the whole story in it. so the next chapter will probably take me about, hmm... ages. SORRY!
By the by... please praise me for this long, long chapter by reviewing.
P.S. you MUST review... or else I would... wait, I can't do anything about you not reviewing [sigh]... roar, roar {please review anyway}.
