"Will you shut up," yelled Zack when he was hearing Nicole crying that she wanted to go back to her parents.

"NO, I don't want to be here. I want to go home and be with my mommy and daddy," yelled Nicole right in his face.

Zack was using as much self-control as he could to make sure that he didn't do anything that he would later regret. "You are with family now," yelled Zack.

"No I am not," yelled Nicole.

"You are and you will just have to deal with it because we are the only real family you have. So you have to deal with it," said Zack pointing at Nicole.

She didn't really take this well and before he could even react she got on her feet and was immediately biting his arm.

"Why you," yelled Zack as he threw her off of him. She landed a number of feet from him and immediately started to cry again. Zack had enough of this and just walked off.

He took a seat by a fire that was going he looked at Eric and noticed that he was laughing. "What is so funny old man?" asked Zack in an angry tone.

"You," said Eric still chuckling.

"What did I do?" asked Zack with the same tone in his voice.

"You were outdone by a five year old girl. That it what," said Eric starting to laugh even louder.

"Oh shut up," yelled Zack as he started to ignore his father.

Walking out of another city. Van was still at a loss for where they could have possibly be. "Where are they? I am sure that people have seen them, but that they are just too scared of them to even do anything," said Van as he hoped into his blade liger. He was so lost in thought that he nearly didn't hear some footsteps coming up from behind him.

"Um excuse me," came a young girls voice.

Van turned around to see a young girl. Probably no older than thirteen years old. "Yes, what is it?" asked Van looking at the girl.

"You were the one that asked about those people right?" asked the young girl.

"Yes," said Van.

"Does. does it have anything to do with that little girl that was with them?" asked the young girl.

"Yes. She is my daughter. They kidnapped her and I am trying to get her back," said Van.

"They. they came by here. They also warned anyone that if they talked to anyone about being here that they would do horrible things to us," said the girl. "

Then why are you telling me about this?" asked Van.

"I feel bad for that little girl. She looked so frightened and I wanted to help her," said the girl.

"Do you know where they went?" asked Van nicely.

"They didn't tell anyone but I did overhear them talking about some place with a lot of fog. Saying that it would be a really good place to hide," said the girl.

"The Isalina Mountains," muttered Van.

"Yeah. That was the place," said the girl.

"Thank you for telling me this. Now I might be able to get my daughter back," said Van with the nicest smile he could give.

*****

"Damn it. I can't see anything here. Also, why is it that I have to carry this little brat all the way out here?" asked Zack.

"Because this is the only way we could get her to move," said Eric.

"Then why don't you carry her? She just won't hold still," said Zack with an extremely angry look on his face.

"Because I don't want to get hurt by her," said Eric.

"Thanks," said Zack sarcastically.

"No problem," said Eric with a large smile on his face.

"I really hate you. Did you know that?" asked Zack with a smirk on his face.

"Of course. It isn't like I could really give a care though," said Eric with an even bigger smirk on his face. Zack just growled at his father.

"Come on. Most likely Flyheight is getting close to us. We must get a good deal into the mountains so that it will almost be impossible for him to find us due to the fog," said Eric as he led the way through the mountains.

It was very quiet so it was very easy to hear a loud roar of a zoid in the background.

"Didn't I say he was getting close? One of the towns must have blabbed to him about us and that person must have overheard where we were going. We have to hurry," said Eric as the quickened their pace.

*****

"Stupid fog. How am I supposed to find them if I can't see? They definitely chose a good place to hide," said Van as he looked all around the place. A number of times he thought that he saw something but every time it was just his shadow coming off of the fog. "I must get her back so I won't give up," said Van. The blade liger moved as fast as it could forward.

Fiona sat by a window looking out of it wondering if at any moment Van would come into view and he would have Nicole with him. It didn't happen though. She just remained there. Moving only to eat and sleep but that was about it. She held her son in her arms.

"Soon. Your father will be back with your sister,' Fiona whispered to him.

"Fiona," came Dr. D's voice from behind her. She turned around to look at him. He had on a very serious expression on his face.

"What is it?" asked Fiona.

"I have the results to the tests that I have been taking," said Dr. D. seriously.

"Well?" asked Fiona.

"It's." said Dr. D but he stopped but yet he still kept the very serious face. He didn't have a frown or a smile to help prove what the answer was.

"What is it Zeke?" asked Van when the blade liger suddenly stopped in it's tracks.

Zeke gave a growl before he suddenly shot out of the blade liger.

"Zeke. What are you doing?" asked Van as he raced the blade liger after Zeke.

"Come on. Something is coming," yelled Eric as they suddenly broke into a run with Zack with Nicole on his back running right behind him.

"Tell me again why we couldn't bring the zoid?" asked Zack breathing heavily due to the extra weight that was on his back.

"It would make it too easy to spot us. So I had to hide it," yelled Eric.

Suddenly a bright light came crashing down before them. Once the light settled an organoid could be seen. "Zeke," said Nicole happily.

Zeke roar at Zack and Eric.

"It is the organoid," said Zack as he tried to take off in the other direction. He was stopped though when a zoid appeared. It was the blade liger.

"That is far enough," said Van.

"Daddy," yelled Nicole in an extremely happy voice.

"He is not you father for the last time," yelled Zack.

"Shut up. Quit filling her head with all of these lies that you have been saying," yelled Van.

"But they aren't lies. I thought you would have come to grip with it by now. I am sure that Fiona told you her little story. That should be all you needed to know in order to know the truth behind all of this," said Eric with a wide grin on his face.

"Yeah, she did. It doesn't mean that I believe you though. I don't think that you did anything," said Van with a grin of his own.

"It doesn't matter what you think. It doesn't change the truth about her," yelled Eric as he pointed towards Nicole.

"I am taking her back and there is no way that you are going to stop me," said Van.

"Quick Zack. Take her out of here," yelled Eric.

Zack didn't need telling twice because he took off running. Fortunately Zeke followed him and nailed him in the face with his tail while being able to avoid hitting Nicole because she went flying up into the air unharmed and Zeke easily caught her on his back. "Yay. That was fun," squealed Nicole happily. "Thank you Zeke," she said nicely as she patted him on the head.

Zeke growled happily.

"It looks like that plan failed," said Van as he had a stare down with Eric.

"The thing about me is that I usually have a backup plan," said Eric as he took something out of his pocket.

"What's that?" asked Van trying to see what was in his hand.

"You'll see," said Eric as he threw it down on the ground and a bright flashed engulfed the area. By the time it cleared there was no sign of Eric or Zack anywhere.

"Damn it they got away," yelled Van.

Zeke came trotting up from behind Van with a now sleepy Nicole on his back.

"Let's go Zeke. We got what we came for," said Van as he smiled at Zeke and Nicole.

*****

Fiona was once again at the window but this time she did see something coming. Her face lit up and she quickly ran out of the building.

The blade liger came to a stop and Van jumped out of it with Nicole following closely behind him. "You did it Van," said Fiona happily.

"Yeah, but I wasn't able to stop them. They got away," said Van sadly.

"It is ok. At least we can be a family again," said Fiona as she hugged Van.

"Mommy," yelled Nicole as she ran towards Fiona. She jumped into her mother's arms and Fiona happily hugged her.

"I was so scared," said Fiona as tears of happiness fell down her face because she finally had her daughter back.

"Van," said Dr. D.

Van turned around and faced Dr. D.

"Well?" asked Van.

Dr. D only smiled at Van.

"After all the testing that I did there is no doubt in my mind that she is your daughter Van," said Dr. D happily.

A big smile crossed Van face. "However. It is time that we get this little plan going," said Dr. D.
