A/N: I asked my bud IkunyR87 for some help with another story, and she gave me this idea. I hope that you like it. It's an Alternate Universe Fic, remember that! So, pull up a chair, or even just sit on the floor, get yourself comfortable and enjoy the fic . . .

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids . . . but maybe if you all give me 5$ I could buy it and play it everyday on TV.

*****

A horrid battle raged out in one of the deserts of Zi, a fight to the death. It ended in a flash as one of the Zoids burst into flames, instantly killing both the Zoid and the pilot.

The pilot who had one the battle wore an evil grin.

"I have destroyed our target," the man said in an icy voice as a comlink appeared on his screen.

"Wonderful, now return to the base, we have gotten another new call for a new mission," said the man on the other end of the comlink.

"On my way," said the man as he closed the comlink.

He pushed his Blade Liger full speed towards an abandoned ruin, well at least it appeared to be abandoned.

"Welcome Back Van, as I suspect you were able to destroy the target," a man with sandy brown hair stated as the door opened revealing the pilot of the Blade Liger.

"As always Dodge," Van stated as he entered the room, taking a seat next to another man with short blonde hair, whose name was Ryan.

"Now to get serious, I have another mission for you Van," Dodge said, pressing a button on his computer. "This woman is Fiona Alisi Lynette."

A picture of a beautiful young woman appeared in front of them.

"She is said to have a connection with the Zoid Eve and all Zoids, and will be of great help to us in finding all of our enemy's Zoids, and most importantly, the Zoid Eve. Sorry Van, I know how much you wanted her innocent blood on your hands. But we need to use her first, then you can do whatever you want with her," Dodge watched as Van's face went from sad, to an evil grin. "You are to leave immediately and bring her back to us alive, understood?"

"Yes Dodge," Van said as he immediately rose out of his chair.

"Here are the direction's to where she is currently located," said Dodge as he handed Van a map and a picture of Fiona. "Now go, and do try to enjoy yourself."

Van ran out of the room, excitement racing through him. Sure, he couldn't kill her, but sooner or later she would die at his hands. He could just envision her golden hair stained with blood. It brought a smile to his face. He loved his assassin job, it proved to bring him great joy.

Van jumped inside his Blade Liger, taping the map and picture to the canopy, and he was off.

*****

Beautiful 18-year-old Fiona Alisi Lynette was indeed a kind innocent person who cherished life as it was. She hoped one day she would fall madly in love and marry the man of her dreams. Wearing a pink kimono, she lay in a field of flowers. She closed her eyes, inhaling the wonderful sent of the flowers around her.

She stood up, hearing her name called. Standing at the top of the hill, her long Golden Blonde hair flowing around her, she watched as the sunset spread beautiful rays of red across the land. Fiona turned and raced back to the palace she was staying at. Her great workings with Zoids had led her to a high rank and she stayed at all the greatest places, but she always took the time to enjoy every moment of her life.

"There you are Miss Fiona," a woman with long brown hair exclaimed when she saw Fiona.

"Sorry Rose, I was looking at all the beautiful flowers on the hills," Fiona explained as Rose shook her head.

"Well come on, dinners ready, and then its straight to bed for you, you have a long journey ahead of you," Rose urged as she sat Fiona down at an elegant table.

"Thank you Rose," Fiona, exclaimed, looking at all the wonderful food in front of her before digging in.

Van followed the map to the letter, and it led him to an elaborate palace. He quickly hid his Blade Liger in the outskirts of town. Making it through town was easy because of his long Black clothing and black hair. He crept through all of the shadows till he came to the palace. Hopping the fence, he landed in a garden, concealing himself in the shadows of a large tree. Waiting . . . for the perfect moment to infiltrate the palace and find his unsuspecting prey. His eyes went on full alert as he heard voices.

"Don't worry Rose, I will head straight to bed after I take a walk in the garden," Van heard a female voice exclaim as the figure of a woman filled the entry way to the garden. The girl walked right past the tree he was standing behind.

'It's her!' Van exclaimed as he caught a glimpse of her face.

Fiona's Kimono slid softly on the ground felt cold on her bare feet. Van jumped from tree to tree, never letting her out of his sight. She stopped. Did she know he was there, could a simple girl have known he was there when countless others had not?

Fiona closed her eyes, letting the breeze ruffle her hair. When she opened her eyes, she saw a fountain in front of her She walked over and sat on its cool edge. Van breathed, he hadn't been noticed. He ran behind the closest tree to the fountain where he could hear what she was saying.

"Oh great stars, please grant my wish of finding my true love," Fiona silently began to pray.

'What a foolish wish,' Van thought to himself, 'There is no such thing as true love!'

"Fiona!?" Rose called as she came looking for Fiona.

"I'm over here Rose!" Fiona called as Rose came over.

"Fiona, come now, its time for bed, you have a long journey tomorrow," Rose said as she helped Fiona up.

"Ok, I'm coming," Fiona, replied as she followed Rose into the house, glancing up one more time at the Stars.

Van watched as they disappeared, and in a few minutes a light flickered on inside a room as he saw the shadow of a girl enter the room. Bingo. Now all he had to do was wait till she was in bed, his evil grin had returned.

*****

As soon as the light flickered off Van climbed the closet tree to her window, jumping onto her balcony, he slid his knife between the small crack in between the two doors, unlocking the once locked lock. He pushed the doors open with a small push. The cloth that draped the sides of the windows blew in the wind. Van looked at the bed where he could see Fiona sleeping, the moonlight giving her an angelic glow. He watched as the sheet lifted as she breathed steadily. Suddenly he heard her give a moan as she sat up in the bed, he quickly dove into the shadows with out a sound.

Fiona rubbed her head as she stood up at the side of her bed.

"Maybe some fresh air will clear my head," Fiona said to herself as she pulled her Kimono over her nightgown. She looked up to see the balcony doors already open. "What! But I had them locked, how did they get open?"

Now was Van's chance, if he didn't go now he may be discovered. He crept quietly behind the unsuspecting Fiona.

Fiona was wondering how the doors were opened when she heard soft footsteps behind her. She went to turn around when she felt a hand cover her mouth. She felt something cold against her throat.

"I wouldn't advise that you yell out or try anything," she heard a man's voice exclaim in an icy tone behind her.

Just for fun, Van slid the knife against her throat lightly to the right, leaving a thin cut, but enough for some blood to seep out.

Fiona felt tears sting her eyes, this pain was intense and it was coming from such a small wound.

"Go ahead a cry, it will be just like all of the other people I killed," Van replied in a cold tone as he felt Fiona's hot tears through his glove. "But don't worry I am not here to kill you, my friend Dodge needs your powers to assistance us, and after that I will kill you."

Now if you promise not to cry out I'll let go," Van stated as he removed the knife from her throat and slid it around her waist. Fiona nodded she wouldn't and he let go, but he didn't remove the knife. Fiona touched her neck as the blood ran onto her fingers. She turned to look at her kidnapper, his cold eyes were staring at her.

"Lets go," Van said as he pushed her foreword, whenever they got to the balcony he picked her up in his arms, "if you scream then I will kill you right here!"

With that said he jumped off the balcony with a perfect landing. Fiona felt the knife slide back around her waist as she was set down on her feet.

"My Blade Liger is outside of town, so lets get a move on!" He yelled as he forced Fiona to walk in front of him

They were soon out of town and they approached the Blade Liger. Van hopped up and looked down at Fiona, "Get in," he called as he indicated to the back seat. Fiona climbed up, strapping herself into the second seat, she really didn't have much choice.

After a few hours traveling, Van looked back to see that Fiona had fallen asleep, against better judgment to himself, he quickly placed the Blade Liger on autopilot, he to falling into a light slumber . . .
