Chapter 6: A Dream

Van, Irvine and Moonbay all rushed out of the house to see a bright light in front of them. Van saw Fiona kneeling down and ran towards her.

"Why are you kneeling?" he asked, looking at his wife intently but raised his head as the people around him gasped.

He gasped too.

Before them, a bright light revealed a girl with her long ash blonde hair and strawberry blonde bangs behind her beautiful but pale face. A golden streak appeared on her bangs too. Beside her was a glowing silver organoid. It growled at Van and went to him.

Van exclaimed, "Zeke!" He ran towards his organoid but was tripped by Specula who dashed passed him and to the girl. However, Zeke still went to him, not to hug but to swing his tail at Van! Van dodged it gleefully before they embraced each other.

This girl touched the ground and approached Fiona. She spoke softly but loud enough for everyone to hear, "I am back. Lady Fiona, please get up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fiona greeted politely at the girl. Next, she looked at Specula deeply and spoke, "You have done well." And she patted Specula's head gently.

"Fanny . . ." Van spoke surprisingly, standing beside Zeke. He did not understand what was going on.

'Fanny' Freiheit gazed at Van Freiheit and smiled. "Exactly what I dreamt thousands of years ago. But do not worry, I only borrowed your daughter's body for my soul." Suddenly, she disappeared into this air and then a bright green light surrounded the mansion. Raven was inside the house.

Reice's blue female organoid, Specula sped to the mansion along with the people outside it who gaped at the sight.

Reice, who was in Raven's embrace, warmed. Raven regained his conscious to see his beloved woman smiling sadly at him. Her deep-sea bluish green eyes sparkled but it was soon replaced by total denial. Raven, however, cried happily, "Reice, thank goodness you're not dead!"

'Reice' replied, "My daughter is dead and I am not her." Saying so, she tore away from Raven's embrace and stood straight, looking at the people before her. She sighed deeply at Van and Fiona's worried faces on Fanny's unconscious body.

Meanwhile, Jett sprinted to Fanny and checked her pulse before running into the kitchen of the mansion.

"Fanny is just too tired because in the process of me using her body and adding to fact that I used my powers in her body drained all her energy away. But she just needs to sleep. Don't worry too much. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Eve."

Raven looked at 'Reice' unbelievingly and laughed rather a pained one, "You are kidding me. Aren't you? Tell me you are not dead! Please!"

'Reice' shook her head, "Don't deceive yourself. You jolly well know she's dead already."

Raven also shook but in denial, "No!" He escaped to his GenoSaurer and sped off to the plains. 'Reice' did not stop him and muttered, "Poor humans." She gazed at Raven for a long time before speaking to the people inside, "I am no longer Reice. Please call me 'Eve'. Lady Fiona, do not need to call me 'Your Majesty'."

Fiona stepped closer to Eve and knelt down once more, "Your Majesty, no, Eve, please let me bow to you."

Eve quickly stopped Fiona, "I won't call you 'Lady', and I'll just call you by your name. Get up. We need to explain something to your guests."

Jett sprinted out of the kitchen with a wet cloth in his hands. He gently put it onto Fanny's forehead. Then, he felt a shadow over him. It was Eve. She spoke, "Bring her to her room. Can you?"

Jett nodded obediently and carried Fanny with his arms. Irvine and Moonbay were mildly surprised at Jett's strength.

They then returned their gazes back to Eve. Van was already sitting on his armchair and crossing his legs impatiently. He scrutinized Eve closely. Fiona stared at him in return.

"You are not to be rude to Her Majes . . .Eve!" She chided.

Eve sighed once more and crossed her arms too. After all, she was the ruler of Planet Zi! She expects respect from everybody.

Heatedly, she spoke "What do you want to know?"

"What happened at the Evepolis?" Van questioned intently. Fiona eyed him quite angrily but Eve shook her head at Fiona and replied, "Satan is revived. She went against the prophecy and Fanny has done severe damage to her spirit."

The others raised their brows when Eve said the last sentence.

Eve continued, "Fanny's psychic powers is more powerful than I have expected. An Ancient Zoidian's powers lie in their psychic ability. An organoid is the one who amplifies our race's power. An organoid is also our guardian who protects us at all costs. You can also say that they are our bodyguards in another way." She stopped as Specula stood before her and growling.

"Specula . . . is my organoid. But Reice is my daughter so she is also my daughter's organoid. This is what I mean by an organoid being our guardian. Just like Zeke is Fiona Alice Lynette's organoid and guardian, Zeke should be Fanny's organoid too. But . . ." Eve paused, contemplating on what to say next.

Fiona nodded at Eve who nodded back. Fiona cleared her throat and spoke, "Fanny is special in a sense that she is the cursed child. She will either bring prosperity to Planet Zi or bring calamity to this Planet. She does not need an organoid. Her psychic powers are too tremendous to control by herself so Zeke will act as Fanny's seal instead of being her guardian. Is this it, Eve?"

Eve laughed, "As clever as ever, Fiona. Mr. Freiheit, I want to ask you a favour."

"What?" Van snorted earning another glare from Fiona.

Eve narrowed her eyes without the slightest trace. "May I stay in your house for a while?"

"Why?" Van asked curiously.

"Cause' I have nowhere else to go to. And Satan is revived already. Even though her spirit is damaged, she will recover in time as she has the ability to heal her wounds. Actually, that is only her first step to control Planet Zi. I need to stay with fanny to protect Fanny. Her powers are not yet developed, thank goodness . . ."

A scream caught the people's attention downstairs and also made Eve pause.

Fanny rushed down the stairs with cold sweat over her pale and furrowed face.

A male voice shouted after the first, "Wait for me! You should rest!"

"What's the matter?" Fiona dashed to her daughter, trying to comfort her daughter who had tears flowing down the pale cheeks continuously.

Jett with his cheeks flushed and chest rising ran after Fanny who allowed her mother to put a comforting pat on her shoulder.

Moonbay rushed to Jett and scolded, "You should have let Fanny rest!"

Jett frowned and spoke hurriedly, "During her sleep, she kept on squirming on the bed and then opened her eyes abruptly and screamed loudly. She ran down the stairs very fast! I was caught unaware!"

Fanny sniffed, "I dreamt terrible things! I am afraid! There were . . .sob . . . torn bodies of Mother and Father in font of . . .sob . . . me!" She broke down in tears but continued rockily, "A big zoid stood in front a blue woman structure and released a beam from its mouth . . . sob . . . everything exploded!"

Eve widened her eyes and muttered, "It can't be . . .?"

Why was Eve so shocked by Fanny's dream?

I know this is rather short but . . .
