"Sir we have confirmed that our zoids have charged into the enemy lines,"
said a soldier. "Good so how are things going," asked Crougar. "It appears
to be even at the moment," said the soldier. 'Please Van, be careful,'
thought Fiona. "Send some back up, we need to break through the lines right
now," said Crougar. "We don't have any at the moment," said a soldier.
"Excuse me sir," said Fiona. "What is it, Fiona," asked Crougar? "I will go
out and help if you have any zoids," said Fiona. "I don't think that is a
good idea," said Crougar. "Please sir," said Fiona. "I don't think so,"
said Crougar. "But," said Fiona. "No, Fiona," said Crougar. Fiona then kept
silent. "Crougar," came Van's voice through a communication. "What is it,"
asked Crougar? "Where is the help we are supposed to get from the other
bases," asked Van? "They won't be here for a while," said Crougar. "Just
try and hold them off for a while more," said Crougar. "Ok sir," said Van.
'Van I wish I could be there with you,' thought Fiona. "Soldier can you
bring up a screen showing what is going on, on the battlefield," asked
Crougar? "Yes sir," said the soldier as he typed in a few keys and a screen
popped up. There was the battlefield and the sides seemed to be a little
uneven, with more on the opposing side. She saw Van being chased by about
thirty zoids at the time. Fiona remembered that this was exactly what
happened a few years ago. 'No I can't let it happen again,' thought Fiona.
She then ran out of the room. 'I don't care what Crougar said I am going to
help Van," said Fiona as she went into the hanger and saw only one zoid
which was a pteras. "This will have to do," said Fiona as she got into the
pteras. "Fiona what are you doing," asked Crougar as a screen appeared in
the pteras? "I am going to help Van," said Fiona. She then shut off the COM
link before he could have another word to say. "I am coming Van," said
Fiona as the pteras took to the skies.
"Now where does this look familiar," Van asked himself as he was starting to get a little nervous. "I can't die this time," said Van. "Not with both Fiona and Sakura waiting for me to come back," said Van as he charged into the zoids and took down at least half of them before he was hit back to the ground. The zoids moved around him. "Not again," said Van. Just when he thought things were going to be exactly the same as that one battle Fiona showed up and shot down as many zoids as she could. "Fiona," asked Van? "Yes, Van," said Fiona. "What are you doing here," asked Van? "I came here to help you," said Fiona. "Go back," said Van. "I don't want to see you get hurt for me," said Van. "Remember when I said I wanted to be by your side forever, I meant that Van and I will stay with you," said Fiona. "But," said Van. "I am staying," said Fiona.
When she finished talking she was fired upon by a zoid. "Good to see you Fiona," came Rachael's voice. "Not you," said Fiona. The pteras Fiona was flying in was then hit by another pteras. "At last I will get my chance to get you," said Rachael. "And Van won't be able to help you because he is too busy with the other zoids," said Rachael. Fiona looked at where Van was and noticed that he was too busy to help her. "You are mine Fiona," said Rachael as she fired at Fiona again. "Why did you betray us," asked Fiona? "Because neither of you could even give a care about how I feel, all Van notices is you," said Rachael. "But that is no reason to become a traitor," said Fiona. "It is if I wanted to get rid of you," said Rachael as she once again rammed into Fiona. "You just can't compete with my skills which will make this all the easier," said Rachael as she once again went in for an attack but Fiona managed to dodge it. "I will kill you for what you did to me," yelled Rachael. Fiona tried to fly off but Rachael just pursued after her. "There is no way to escape from me," said Rachael. Fiona was getting a bit frightened by what was happening to her. Rachael then went at full speed right at Fiona. Fiona screamed and was able to turn the pteras away from the path off Rachael and she went right by Fiona and Fiona fired upon the other pteras. Rachael and the pteras she was in was plummeting towards the ground. "No I can't escape," said Rachael as she tried to bail out of the cockpit but the lever was jammed. "Oh no," said Rachael as the pteras hit the ground and blew up.
"Fiona was able to beat her," said Van a bit amazed at what he saw. "Fiona are you alright," asked Van through the COM link. "I think so," said a frightened Fiona. "Hey Van, I see zoids approaching," said Fiona. "Good the reinforcements are here," said Van. Fiona tried to say something else but some bullets hit her and the pteras fell to the ground. "No, Fiona," yelled Van. Fiona got lucky because when the pteras hit the ground it just skidded for a while before it stopped. Van moved the blade liger as fast as he could towards where Fiona had crashed. "Fiona are you ok," asked Van when he opened the cockpit. Fiona was knocked unconscious with a cut on her head. "Van," yelled Thomas. "Thomas can you take Fiona back to the base," asked Van. "Sure, then I will head back here to help," said Thomas. "Thanks," said Van. 'I hope Fiona will be ok' thought Van as he started slicing up some more zoids. "I will have to finish this up soon but these guys keep coming and even with the reinforcements we still aren't gaining any ground," said Van. "Hey Van I have an idea," said Irvine over the COM link. "What is it," asked Van. "It will be dangerous but we might be able to sneak our way in if we find an area with the least amount of zoids," said Irvine. "But id they see our zoids more will come," said Van. "We will leave our zoids in a safe place," said Irvine. "I am willing to try anything," said Van. "Good, just follow me," said Irvine as he started to head in one direction. "Listen up everyone," said Van, "We have a plan and I need you to keep them away," said Van. "Try and weaken the zoids in a small area so it will make it easier to get by," said Van and then he closed the COM link.
"Van and Irvine went and hid the lightning saix and the blade liger the best that they could and found a weakened area. "Van, listen we are going to take some hover boards and try to get through there as fast as we can," said Irvine. "This will be suicide," said Van. "It is the only way or we will be fighting like this for some time," said Irvine. 'I guess," said Van. Van and Irvine got on some hover boards and raced as fast as they could through the small opening. They did have some trouble though when some zoids were able to fire on them to try and stop them but after a bit the managed to get into the front of the base. "Van let's hurry," yelled Irvine. "We have to find him," said Van. "Do you know where he usually is, because you were forced to work for him, so I thought you might know," said Irvine. "I can't remember a lot but I think I can find him," said Van. "Then head in that direction," said Irvine. "Wait I am the one of a higher rank so why are you giving orders," asked Van. "Because it is my plan," said Irvine. "Good point," said Van.
They entered the base and found that it was nearly empty. "This is good there aren't many people around so we should be able to get around easier without people firing on us as much,' said Irvine. As soon as he said this though people started to fire on them. "Great so they still do have some people," said Irvine as he pulled out his gun. He started to fire upon them and they dropped one after the other. "Lets hurry," yelled Irvine as Van and him went down the halls. "This is the place," said Van. "Are you sure," asked Irvine. "I am pretty sure," said Van. "Ok," said Irvine. Van pulled out his gun and they opened the door and ran in. As soon as they ran in the guns were shot out of their hands by Drake. "I missed," said Drake. "You psycho," said Van. "Now that just hurts my feeling after I saved your life all those years ago," said Drake. "And took control of my mind so I would do anything for you," said Van. "You could have been great Van, all you needed to do was join my side and I would have given you anything. By now you would have been at a much higher rank than just a captain,' said Drake. "I don't care. It wouldn't mean anything if I had to hurt my friends just to get it," said Van. "I will give both of you a choice, you two can either join me for the better of the planet or you can die," said Drake. "I'd rather die," yelled Van. "That can be arranged," said Drake as he fired his gun. The bullet hit Van in the chest and he fell to the ground. "Van," yelled Irvine. Nothing came from Van, but blood was spilling everywhere. "What about you are you going to join me or are you going to die like he just did," asked Drake? "Why are you doing this," asked Irvine? "It has been the dream of the great Prozen and Hiltz and I was planning to finish it whether I had the death saurer or the death stinger, or not," said Drake. "You are a psycho like Van said. So were both Hiltz and Prozen," said Irvine. "How dare you talk about them like that," said Drake. "I will talk about them anyway I want," said Irvine.
Van meanwhile was lying on the floor but managed to wake up. He had very little strength after he got shot that he could barely move. It was then that he saw one of the guns on the ground and he picked it up. "There is only one bullet left," said Van. He tried to focus enough to be able to see the target clearly but he was unable to. By this time Drake had noticed that he was still alive though. "You're still alive," yelled Drake he fired on Van again and this time it hit him in the stomach. Still Van tried to take Focus. Drake fired one more bullet at Van and this one hit him in the chest again which made him fire as a reflex and it hit Drake right in the forehead. "I am sorry Fiona," he muttered. Van couldn't take it anymore though and fell to the wounds.
"Wh. What happened," asked Van weakly as he finally woke up? "Van," yelled Fiona. "Fiona, is that you," asked Van because he was unable to see clearly? "Yes it is," said Fiona. "Where am I," asked Van very weakly? "You are back at the base," said Fiona. "What happened," asked Van? "You were shot a few times. I was afraid you weren't going to make it," said Fiona who was on the verge of tears. Van didn't ask anymore because he fell back asleep. "Van," said Fiona who was happy that he was just alive. "So how is he doing today," asked Moonbay as she walked through the door to see Fiona. "He finally woke up but fell asleep almost as fast," said Fiona. "At least he will live," said Moonbay, "He was hurt pretty badly and if Irvine hadn't taken him to have gotten some help immediately Van might have died," said Moonbay. "I am surprised he didn't die immediately with all the gunshot wounds he had," said Moonbay. "I hope Van will be ok," said Fiona. "I am sure he will," said Moonbay. "And I will be by his side when he wakes up," said Fiona.
It was about another day before Van managed to wake up though. "Fiona," said Van who was actually able to see clearly again but still felt very week. "Van you're awake," said Fiona who was trying her hardest not to hug Van because of his injuries. "How long have I been out," asked Van. "About a week," said Fiona. "What happened in the battle," asked Van? "We won, but we took a lot of damage to the zoids and the pilots," said Fiona. "Did you get the blade liger," asked Van. "Yeah Moonbay picked it up," said Fiona. "How are you," asked Van. "I am fine, I just got a small cut on the forehead," said Fiona. "That is good to hear," said Van. "You are lucky to be alive though," said Fiona as a few tears slid down her cheeks. "It is ok, because I didn't die," said Van. "I know but if you did I don't know what I would have done," said Fiona. "If something did happen to me I don't want you to do anything crazy," said Van. "Van you and Sakura are my world if anything was to happen to either of you, it would just tear me apart," said Fiona. "Don't worry because we are both going to be fine," said Van. "I guess you're right," said Fiona. "Aren't I always," asked Van? "Get some rest Van you are going to need a lot of it," said Fiona.
As the days past Van little by little started to get better. "How are you feeling today," asked Fiona as she walked into the room. "I am doing better, thank you," said Van. "When can I leave this place," asked Van. "Why," asked Fiona? "These past few months I have spent so much time in hospitals that I am starting to hate them," said Van. "I will see what I can do,' said Fiona. Fiona walked away and came back a few moments later. "What did they say," asked Van? "You will have to stay here at least one more week before you can go," said Fiona. "Great, another week in this place," said Van. "At least I will be with you through it," said Fiona. 'Those will be the best part of those days," said Van. He then pulled Fiona in and kissed her. "Just don't forget to come on any of those days," said Van. "I will try not to," said Fiona.
Fiona kept by her word and came everyday, which helped Van to make the days go by faster. On the final day Fiona came in with Sakura. "Ah, my two favorite women," said Van. "How are you feeling daddy," asked Sakura. "I am feeling pretty good," said Van. "How did you get here," asked Van? "Moonbay brought her here," said Fiona. "Really," said Van. "Yeah, I asked her if she could do it for me," said Fiona. "And I thank her for doing it because it will save me the long trip," said Van. "I guess it will," said Fiona with a laugh. "Am I able to leave now," asked Van? "I guess so," said Fiona. "Because it has been a week," said Fiona. After Van was sure he could leave he did. He was still a little sore and with Fiona's help he managed to do just fine.
"Hey Van, it is good to see you alive," said Moonbay. "Yeah," said Van. "Hey Irvine," said Van. "What," asked Irvine? "Thanks for helping me," said Van. "No problem," said Irvine. "Maybe now things can go back to normal," said Van. Things did turn out to become normal. At least for a few good months they were.
"Now where does this look familiar," Van asked himself as he was starting to get a little nervous. "I can't die this time," said Van. "Not with both Fiona and Sakura waiting for me to come back," said Van as he charged into the zoids and took down at least half of them before he was hit back to the ground.
