Chapter 4: Satan vs. Eve - Feud .

"The prophecy has begun. Fanny has been chosen to fight Satan." Reice spoke but no one understood her words.

Van stood up and caught her collar, "Tell us about it!" Raven ran to Van and wanted to pull him away from Reice but Reice uttered, "Never mind. Van, let go of me and I'll tell you all the things that you NEED to know." Her words hinted something at the others.

Van did as told and crossed his arms before Reice. Reice spoke nothing else and instead advanced towards Fiona. She closed her eyes briefly before sending a ball of light at Fiona's unconscious body. She took a deep breath before speaking to Van.

"What do you want to know?"

"Who is Satan?" Van questioned.

"This woman was the mad scientist who made the Death Saurer. She wanted to rule Planet Zi so she created this zoid to create fear in the Ancient Zoidians. She piloted the Deathsaur and killed many of her own race. Only Ancient Zoidians who were with Eve, Satan's sister, survived.

Eve was the ruler of Planet Zi. And had psychic powers that were different from other Ancient Zoidians. She created a shield with her psychic, which was strong enough to block off the cannon. But, she was injured badly when she put down the shield and piloted her own zoid, the Blade Liger, to fight her own sister. No, she was not inferior to Satan; she just did not want to hurt her sister. However, Satan killed Eve.

Though Eve's body was destroyed, her soul was sealed within the Evepolis, entrance to the Zoids Eve." Reice stopped as she saw the unbelieving looks on Irvine, Moonbay, Van and Raven's face. Jett listened to Reice confusedly.

"Do you not believe my words?"

"How can it be?" Irvine and Moonbay asked together.

Fanny lost consciousness the moment she clasped her hand to wish. Opening her eyes, she found herself in a dark, peculiar place. She saw a blue woman- like structure in front of her.

Looking around her, she also saw a pale green stone figure with pearls hanging over its neck. Next, she felt a cold breeze at her neck and she turned her head abruptly before screaming piercingly.

A voice cackled, "Fanny dear, welcome to the Valley of the Rare-Hertz. From this moment, you will be able to have control and power over Planet Zi!"

She saw a ghost before her! The ghost was gazing at Fanny sinisterly, the smoke around her made Fanny a little scared. The ghost was a woman, and it approached Fanny slowly. But Fanny cowered backwards too when she was stopped finally by a wall. "Who . . . Who are you?"

The ghost blew some wind at Fanny, which sent images into her mind. The images were ruins of a particular place, which she did not recognize, and then she freaked out when she saw torn bodies of her parents in front of her. Fanny shrieked piercingly again.

The ghost laughed, "I am Satan! Join me in taking control over the world!"

Fanny was shivering violently. However, she felt a pair of strong arms pulling her up and forcing her to stand. Before Fanny was a bright light, and also a silver dragon. "Zeke!"

"It is impossible! She has a guardian?" Satan spoke but she pointed a finger at Zeke before moving to the left.

Zeke had stood in front of Fanny, glaring at Satan. Suddenly, it was thrown sideways. It's head hit a wall hard but Zeke still tried to stand up.

Satan laughed aloud, "You can't stop me from reviving!" She radiated a green light as something, which was translucent surrounded both the woman. It was a shield! Zeke staggered to his feet and approached the shield, trying to save Fanny from Satan.

Satan looked into Fanny's eyes. Fanny's ruby eyes turned blank. Fanny spoke without any emotions, "Master. I will join you in your quest."

"Finally . . .!"

"You will not succeed in freeing yourself. The cursed child will make her own choice!" A voice shouted angrily as the shield was broken with Satan screeching.

Reice sighed at the crowd before her and spoke confidently, "Ancient Zoidians has many kinds of psychic powers. Some will fuse with an organoid to repair injured zoids and some even has the power to predict the future. Eve's psychic powers were to predict the future and to confine souls to zoids. That kind of power is very great and extraordinary.

Satan and Eve were both scientists who invented different types of zoids from the Zoids Eve.

After Satan invented the Death Saurer, Eve created the two scorpion zoids, other known as the Death Stinger. Unfortunately, Hiltz used these zoids to replace the Death Saurer instead. Also, the intention was no longer to protect this planet, but to destroy it!

Eve, as the ruler of Planet Zi had to protect her planet, so she stopped the Zoids Eve from working temporarily before confining Satan's soul in the Death Saurer. Satan's body was turned to stone by Elder Fish of Planet Zi and buried deep in the Valley of the Rare-Hertz.

At the same time, Eve put a pearl necklace on the stone body of Satan, which will act and stop Satan's soul from entering the stone body. You see, Elder Fish's powers will be broken if this happens."

Van asked abruptly, "Why did Satan want my daughter for then?"

"She needs a drop of the cursed child's blood to break the power of the pearl necklace.

Elder Fish, one of the eight leaders on Planet Zi and ruling over the Ancient Zoidian race, had a secret meeting with Eve. Eve told him all about the future and in turn, he scribbled her prophecy onto the stone tablet that I summoned from the Valley. At Fiona's wedding, I brought her there, remember Van?"

Van looked at both Reice and Fiona confusedly. Then, he remembered.

Reice continued speaking, "Fanny must have been brought to the Valley of the Rare-Hertz. There, Fanny has to make her choice - whether to help Satan in her quest to conquer Planet Zi or help Eve stop Satan.

Fanny has inherited psychic powers too. She is a cursed child who has the blood of both human and of the Ancient Zoidian race. This makes her to have the special talent to speak and communicate with an organoid. It was said that she could revive Zoid cores with her powers without an organoid!"

Moonbay stepped up to Reice and questioned, "So you mean that Fanny can either save or destroy Planet ZI? But why did you know all these?"

Reice's face turned pale and her lips quavered, "Because I am the descendant of Eve herself. Then why do you think I get my psychic powers from? My memory was sealed by my mother and I regained them when Death Stinger was destroyed."

Raven who was beside, was listening to Reice quietly, but he could not stop himself, "How come I know nothing of this?" Reice looked at Raven longingly.

Suddenly, Reice collapsed to the ground. Raven rushed to her and cried, "What happened to you?" The organoid of Reice, Specula also ran to her mistress quickly.

"Reice!" shouted Fiona as she woke up at last and went to the collapsed Reice. Her eyes were filled with worry as she gazed at Reice. "Why did you do this? You should not have used your powers excessively to let me revive my memories. You could . . ." Fiona sobbed uncontrollably as Raven stared at both Reice and Fiona.

"Die . . ." Reice completed Fiona's sentence. "This is my sole purpose for surviving the impact of Death Saurer head on . . . As Eve's body had been destroyed, her soul, even though will be released from the Evepolis, has nowhere to go to . . .that's when she occupies mine." Reice tried hard to speak as her pulse weakened.

"What are you talking? Reice." Raven cried as he felt the person he loved dieing.

Van wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Raven's organoid, Shadow.

"Promise me to take good care of Specula, will you? And . . ."Reice tried to move closer to Raven as her conscious blurred seriously. She opened her mouth to speak something but Raven could not hear it properly, he moved his head closer to Reice's mouth and heard words that shocked him, "I love you . . ."

Raven looked at Reice and his eyes turned lifeless. Reice had closed her eyes, her breath stopped too. Fiona, Van, Moonbay and Irvine stared at the two now embracing figures with disbelief. Fiona knelt, crying sadly, "Reice."

Shadow approached his master, and surprisingly put its short hand to pat Raven.

Jett looked in bewilderment at Shadow. He had seen Zeke doing this to Fanny when her father denied teaching her how to fight with a zoid and she cried. Jett still remembered that when he wanted to touch Zeke, he was hit and flung far away by it. Then, he learnt from his father, Irvine that an organoid will only approach its master.

Suddenly, Jett seemed to know what was going on and his eyes lit up. His parents looked at weirdly but he did not care. He just knew now that Fanny was safe, that's all.
