Eternal Moon Shire

Chapter 2:        The long road to the Empire

On the long road through a thick forest, our heroes Van and Fiona, along with their organoid

Zeke, travel the dusty road alone.

Van:     Man! It's Steaming in here!

Van wiped the sweat of his brow. He continued to pilot the blade Liger through the forest

following a long winding road. "Where do we go now Fiona?"

Fiona:   Take the next turn.

"Are you sure?"
 "Positive." She then flashed him an assuring smile. Van couldn't help himself as the color of

bright red rose to his face.

Van:     So, this Moon Shire Colony, do you really think it would be work the time?"

Fiona:   Perhaps.

Van:     Well, I sure hope so. We're out here in the middle of nowhere.

Fiona:   Well, even so Van. It was our sworn duty to protect the Empires and it's new

 uprising colonies.

Van:     Yeah, but do you really think we can accomplish that? I mean, there's gotta be

 at least 2 colonies or empires forming everyday.

Fiona:   Well, we will have to try our best then. Wont we Zeke?

Zeke:    RRRrrrrr!

Van placed his hand to his head and sighed.

Van:     Uhhh, well there's no use arguing with you too. I just hope we get there soon!

You sure Dr. D was precise with the location?

Fiona:   Yes. He said he had been there once before, and when there, he met a familiar friend.

 But he wouldn't say who it was. Well, he says when we get there; we're in for a big surprise.

Van:     A surprise? Why's that?

Fiona:   I don't know. He wouldn't say. He just stated "I find you will be most surprised,

but most satisfied. You don't see that happening everyday." And that was all he said. Oh,

 yes, he also said that it was the most gorgeous empire he had ever seen in his life.

Van:     Yeah, well, for his sake, he better be right.

Fiona smiled once more and giggled.

Fiona:   Oh, Van. You're so funny!

Van:     Hey! I wasn't joking! Really, I wasn't!

Fiona continued to giggle as Van continued to blush furiously.

******3 hours later…….

Van:     Man, why did I take advice form that old man?! I should've known he had some

loose screws! Now we're stuck here in the middle of no where!

Fiona:   Yes, maybe we are lost, but fear not Van. For good things always come to

 those who wait.

Van:     I can't help it! Urrrr! I'm steaming up! Huh? What—is—that…..

He quickly jumped out of his zoid and rushed to what his eyes had spotted.

Van:     A lake!!! It's a miracle!!

A miracle? Perhaps. But then again, strange things always seem to happen in the land of

 the Moon Shire. He slowly cupped water in his hands and brought it close to his face.

 It was absolutely refreshing. Our hero took off his shirt and drank as much as he could,

 until he was fully satisfied. Fiona looked upon him and smiled.

Fiona:   Come on Zeke; let's have a break shall we?

Zeke:    Rrrrrr!

Fiona rushed to the side of her friend. She then took out some snacks and handed

them to him.

Fiona:   Here, have some of this Van.

Van:     Huh? Oh, thanks Fiona.

She smiled at him and he took the food out of her hand.

Fiona:   No problem. Here, have some more. Your sister made them especially for

our journey.

Van:     Yeah, well, remind me to thank her when we get back! These are delicious!

Fiona smiled once again. She then turned her eyes towards the lake. Van looked at

Fiona and noticed she had somewhat of a "dreamy" look in her eyes.

Van:     Hey Fiona? Something wrong?

She quickly came out of her trance. She looked at Van whom seemed a bit worried,

but she flashed him another reassuring smile.

Fiona:   Oh nothings wrong Van. I was just….

Van:     You feel it too huh?
Fiona:   …….yes.

Van:     I know. I have this strange feeling that there's someone or something waiting out

there for us.

Fiona:   But what could it be?

Van:     I don't know. But whatever it is, it sure has a nostalgic feeling to it that I cant

 seem to explain.

Fiona nodded at him.

Fiona:   Van?

Van:     Yeah?

Fiona:   Well, before we left the colony, what was it you and your sister were talking about?

Van:     Huh?!

Van fell backwards a bit embarrassed.

Van:     Um….well……

Fiona:   Yes?

Van:     She was just asking…..well……she was just saying….um…….

Fiona:   Huh? Saying what?

Fiona leaned in closer trying to comprehend what was going on with Van, but this only

 made him blush further as their bodies were moving in very close.

Van:     Uh….she was just asking when I would settle down and get uh, married is all—there!

 I'm DONE! Boy, is it hot in here?! Well, that's enough break time-lets go! Come on

Zeke! Um, um, um….where is the Blade Liger!?! Zeke, Zeke? Zeke!!!!

Zeke:    Rrrrr!

Van:     Come on Zeke! Let's get going!

Zeke:    Rrrrrr!

Van walked away with Zeke towards the blade Liger speaking a mile a minute, leaving

Fiona alone with her thoughts.

Fiona:   Marriage?

Just then, a loud explosion was heard.

Fiona:   Huh?

Van:     What was—AHHH!

Van was knocked down to the ground by a force of energy from a near by explosion.

When he recovered, he looked around and saw 3 zoids that surrounded Fiona.

Van:     Fiona!

Fiona:   Van! Help me!

Van:     I'm coming Fiona! Zeke!

Zeke quickly got into the Blade Liger, and then, a battle had begun.
