Chapter 8: Knocked Rank and Mental Insanity
Thomas is to his breaking point, but it's not over yet.
After leaving Van's room, He then tries to think of something to get rid of van. Fiona takes a different direction to avoid bumping into Thomas. She makes it to Van's room and sits back in the chair provided.
"I wonder who put the broken cable cords in the water behind Van in the hangar." Fiona asks herself. "Could it be Thomas? No he wouldn't do that or would he?"
Van stirred a bit, but stayed sleeping.
In The Conference area*
"I'm telling you my zoid's combat system is totally wiped out. I can't use it." Irvine says to Karl, as Moonbay agrees.
"It was smoking too." Moonbay says.
"So you want me to believe that my little brother did it?" Karl asks.
"I'm not asking you to believe, I'm just asking you to ask him if he was responsible." Irvine says.
"Two things already went wrong because of him, so it's no doubt that he was responsible." Moonbay says.
"I'll ask him, but getting the answer may be tough until I see evidence that he did do something like that." Karl says turning around to press the call button on the intercom.
After pressing the button he calls for Thomas. After a minute, He comes in the room and stands before his brother.
"Yes Karl?" Thomas asks.
"From what these 2 soldiers tell me, you maybe responsible for the destruction of the Command Wolf." Karl says.
"Me? Doing something like that?" Thomas asks with a grin on his face.
"Did you or did you not do that?" Karl asks with no expression on his face.
"Of course not." Thomas says giggling.
In Van's room*
Fiona is disturbed by what happened in the hall and decides to go and talk to Karl about it.
"I'll be back Van." Fiona whispers as she gets up and leaves the room. She walks down the hall, hoping not to run into Thomas. She makes it clear to the conference room where She figured she might find Karl, which she did.
Once she walked in she can see Irvine and Moonbay and the one who she now dispises, Thomas. Everyone turns to her.
"Miss Fiona. How nice of it to see you." Thomas says putting on an act, hoping she wouldn't bring up earlier.
"First of all you shouldn't be talking to me after what happened." Fiona says turning from Thomas to Karl.
"What did happen?" Moonbay asks. "You said nothing."
"I'll tell you in a minute. Karl, a moment please." Fiona says stepping outside.
Karl follows Her outside and she turns to him, trying to hold back the sadness she was harboring.
"What's wrong Fiona?" Karl asks.
"Your brother attacked me earlier, when Van hurt his foot and I helped him to his room." Fiona says looking at him with sad eyes.
"He did what??? How did he do it?" Karl asks.
"He grabbed me by my arm and was trying to force me to spend the rest of the day with him when Van was hurt. I had to contend with him." Fiona says holding back on the tears.
"He shouldn't have done it. I'll take care of him." Karl says. When the 2 begin to walk towards the door, they hear a loud bang sound from inside. Karl quickly opens the door and can see Moonbay has Thomas on the desk by his neck choking him with one hand.
"Did you hurt Fiona, because if you did, kiss you Windpipe goodbye." Moonbay tightening her grip on him as Irvine tried to pull her off.
"I--- did-n't-get---off-me" Thomas says through weak breaths.
"Moonbay you are going to collapse his windpipe," Irvine says try to pull off a fuming Moonbay.
"At least he won't hurt Fiona or anyone else ever again." Moonbay says tightening it.
"Moonbay drop him this instant." Karl says sternly.
Moonbay drops him and Irvine pulls her away.
"Thomas, this is the third complaint I have gotten about you. Normally 2 would get your rank knocked down by one, but attacking a fellow guardian force member is a serious offense. So for this I'm going to have to knock your rank down to private until I see better progress from you." Karl says going over to the desk and sitting.
"Hey that's not fair. What does Moonbay get for attacking me?" Thomas asks.
"Well she didn't have the right to attack you, but at the same time, I really don't blame her for doing it. Moonbay no more outbursts like today." Karl says turning around.
"Yes sir." Moonbay says sternly, while staring daggers at Thomas.
"You all maybe dismissed except you miss Fiona. I want to have a word with you alone." Karl says as the other pile out. Irvine is keeping Moonbay separate from Thomas as they walk out.
"Yes sir." Fiona says as the room only consists of them.
"How is Van? How did he hurt his foot?" Karl asks.
"Well when we were in the zoids hangar, we were doing some work on the zoids, and the next thing I knew and saw was Van on the ground and plus the machine I Had went out and how the cords got there, I wish I knew." Fiona says.
"Did you at hear signs of someone walking in there?" Karl asks.
"No I didn't." Fiona says.
"If you and Van are going to work on anymore Zoids, There will be a camera in the hangar that will be installed tonight so any unauthorized activities will be caught and dealth with according to how severe it maybe." Karl says with a smile to Fiona.
"Thanks sir." Fiona says.
"You may go." Karl says as Fiona parts. She goes back to Van's room who is now waking up. She rushes to his side.
"I see you're awake." Fiona says.
"I see you left." Van says with a smile.
"I had to. Van promise me you won't go berserk." Fiona says.
"Sure ok, but it depends." Van says sitting up.
"After I left the room to get a drink, I was attacked by Thomas." Fiona says, as Van's eyes grow wide.
"You were WHAT?" Van says getting up but is stopped.
"Van you promised." Fiona says holding him down.
"I don't care. He doesn't have the right to attack you like that." Van says sitting back.
"I told his brother and he took care of it." Fiona says. "His ranked was knocked from Sergeant to private." (sorry if it's wrong people)
"Ouch. That must have been a slap in the face or a kick in the arse." Van says laughing. "That's a lot of Ranks to be picked up after a while."
"Yeah that is." Fiona says smiling.
"Well at least are you ok?" Van asks grabbing Fiona's hand.
"Yeah I'm fine, Thanks." Fiona says in whisper.
"I have an Undying urge to kiss you right now." Van whispers.
"Then what you are waiting for then?" Fiona whispers getting closer to van. She jumps on him and they begin kissing.
In The recreational Area*
Moonbay is sitting next to Irvine on the couch.
"I want to rip his spine out." Moonbay says closing her fist.
"It's ok. He was dealth with so don't go getting mad right now. Not while you're with me." Irvine says.
"Oh really? What are you trying to say?" Moonbay says now grinning at Irvine.
"I don't think I have to explain." Irvine says smiling.
"Maybe not. I'm going to check on Fiona, to see if the girl is ok after what that jerk did." Moonbay says getting up.
"I'll join you." Irvine says getting up and the both of them leave the room. After leaving the A sector, they go to the C sector where the bedrooms are. They walk pass 2 rooms, they can hear sounds, strange sounds. As they get closer they can hear Fiona's voice, but she wasn't talking. When they reach the door, they press their ears against the door and can hear what's really happening.
"Oh maybe she's doing just fine now." Moonbay whispers.
"Well yeah I mean listen to them in there." Irvine says still listening.
"Come on. Let's leave them alone." Moonbay says walking away, but noticing that Irvine wasn't behind her. She goes back to the door and pulls him away. They go back to the recreational area and decide on a game to play.
In Van's room*
Van is sitting up, while Fiona is lying there with a big smile on her face.
"Don't you love the afternoon when there is nothing to do?" Van asks Fiona is who still lying there smiling.
"Sure I do. Especially when no one is bothering you." Fiona says sitting up.
"I hope no one heard us." Van says with red cheeks.
"I'm sure no one did. I mean we are all the way in the back while everyone else is in the front in Sector A." Fiona says.
"I guess you're right." Van says looking at his foot.
"Oh by the way, is that ok now?" Fiona asks looking at Van.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Van says. "What ever you did, it worked."
"I just sprayed it and covered it." Fiona says moving down to touch it.
"I bet I can't feel anything." Van says as Fiona touches it.
"Does that hurt?" Fiona says touching the toes.
"No." Van says.
"Well later after I get up I will take the bandages off and see the condition." Fiona says sitting up against the headboard.
"Fine with me." Van says.
Not everyone heard what they did, but someone was listening.
Well enough for now. I told you that the next chapter would be better and I kept my promise. So please enjoy and review.
Thanks.
