One year after the problem with Hiltz and the death stinger everything has
been peaceful and the guardian force has been making sure that it stayed
that way. Van and the others have been working none stop to make sure that
no one would destroy the peace that they had. Van had been away for almost
ten months training to be a better zoid pilot and no one knew where he went
to, but only knew that he left to go and train leaving them at the guardian
force hq. Fiona and the others were really starting to wonder why he had
been gone for so long and not come back.
"Where could Van possibly be?" Fiona asked herself as she walked down the halls of the base. Suddenly a voice came over the loudspeakers. "Everyone get to your battle stations," came a voice on a loudspeaker. Thomas and Irvine immediately went to their lightning saix and dibison ready to fight. Fiona just went to find someone to ask what was going on. "What is going on?" asked Moonbay. "We are being attacked," said Herman who was nearby. "By who?" asked Fiona. "We are not sure but they are using a lot of Iron Kongs which could be a problem," said Herman.
Meanwhile out in the desert Van, Zeke and his blade liger are going through the desert. "Finally. It is about time that I headed back," said Van. "I wonder if they will be happy to see me after all of this time," said Van. Suddenly Van spotted something small on the horizon. He moved the blade liger in that direction. He stopped in front of it and hopped out of the blade liger and was surprised when he saw a man lying on the ground. "He appears to be in pretty bad shape," said Van as he eyed some of the injuries that the man had all over his body. 'I can't just leave him here,' thought Van. "I guess I can take him with me and get him some help when I get back," said Van as he put the man in the back seat of the liger and he started to get it to move once again.
Thomas and Irvine were trying their hardest to hold off the Iron Kongs but they were having a really tough time with it but they managed to hold them off and eventually they managed to make most of them retreat. "This would be a whole lot easier if we had Van to help us," said Irvine breathing a little hard. "At least we were able to keep them away," said Thomas who was in the same condition. "Be careful you guys we have an unidentified zoids approaching us and it could their best warrior since there is only one of them," said Herman. "Right we will," said Thomas. They waited and the zoid got even closer until the base was able to tell what the zoid was. "Confirmation confirmed on the unidentified zoid and it is a blade liger," said a soldier. "Do you think it could be Van?" asked Fiona with a smile on her face. "Probably but it could be another blade liger," said Herman. "Hey everyone," said Van as a transmission popped up on a screen. "Van it is you," said Fiona very happy to see him. "Yeah it is me," said Van as he smiled as well. He went into the base and got out of his liger and was immediately was greeted by Fiona as she flung her arms around him. "Wait a minute. I just remembered," said Van as he climbed back into the blade liger and carried out the unconscious man out of it. He carefully carried him out of the hanger and into the medical ward.
Van and the others had a chance to talk now. "So what took you so long to get back?" asked Fiona watching Van with anticipation in her eyes. "I have been training as hard as I could to become a better zoid pilot," said Van. "We knew that but why did it take so long to finish it?" asked Irvine also wanting to listen to this. "I trained for four years before and none of you seemed to mind," said Van. "Yeah but you weren't in guardian force then we could have really used your help in those ten months you were gone," said Irvine. "We? So you have finally accepted that you are in the guardian force?" asked Van with a smirk on his face. Irvine got slightly annoyed at this as everyone laughed at it. "No! I am not," yelled Irvine. Nobody even seemed to listen to him. "By the way. Who was that guy you were with?" asked Moonbay finally gaining control over her laughter. "I don't know. I found him in bad shape out in the desert and took him to get some help as I was coming back here," said Van. "So what has been going on here?" asked Van. Van was filled in on what was going on around there.
Later that night Van and Fiona had a little talk. "So Van what did you do in the ten months that you were gone besides training?" asked Fiona. "Nothing really," said Van. "I am sure that you did at least something, so did you?" asked Fiona. "Maybe," said Van. "So tell me," said Fiona. "Maybe someday I will," said Van chuckling at the annoyed look on Fiona's face. "You must have done something. Like go new places or meet new people," said Fiona. "Sure I did do some of those things," said Van still chuckling a little. "Then why aren't you telling me? Are you hiding something?" asked Fiona giving Van a suspicious glance. "Now why would I be hiding anything? It was actually rather uneventful," said Van. "Uneventful, huh?" asked Fiona. "Yeah. Uneventful," said Van.
The next day Van went to go and talk to the man he found who had woken up. The man was about Vans height and had brown hair. Van was actually glad to see that the man was awake because he could ask him a few questions. "So what is your name?" asked Van. "My name is Eric," said the man very nicely. "What were you doing in the desert?" asked Van. "I was on a journey and I was attacked by some iron kongs I thought I could hold my own against them but my zoid was destroyed and I passed out. The next thing that I knew I woke up and I was in this place," said Eric. 'Didn't Irvine say something about iron kongs attacking this base?' Van asked himself. 'Why would they attack a civilian?' he asked himself again. "Why did they attack you?" asked Van. "I don't know. I just assumed that they were bandits," said Eric with a smile on his face. Some doctors came in to check up on Eric and Van was forced to leave before he could ask any more questions.
The next day Van was given the privilege of showing Eric around the base. Actually it seemed that he was more of forced to because everyone seemed to suddenly find something else to do. He seemed very interested about all the different zoids that the base held. He also seemed interested in Fiona. "Say Van. Who is that?" asked Eric pointing to where Fiona was talking to Moonbay. "Which one?" asked Van looking at the two of them. "The blonde," said Eric. "That is Fiona. She is a friend of mine. I found her years ago when I found Zeke. They came out of pods. It was only later that I learned that she was an ancient zoidian. That help to explain why she was in those pods back then," said Van. "You're friends?" asked Eric. "Yeah," said Van wondering what he was getting at. "Are you just friends?" asked Eric. "I guess," said Van. "So that means that she is free for the taking?" asked Eric. "What do you mean by that?" asked Van slightly annoyed by how this man was acting. "Oh nothing," said eric as he wondered off whistling to himself. Van just shrugged it all off and went towards his blade liger.
After Eric left Van he immediately walked up to where Fiona was now standing by herself since Moonbay had left. "Hello there. Fiona is it?" asked Eric. "Yes it is," said Fiona looking at him. he seemed to be mesmerized by her. Van was watching them in their little talk without being noticed and he was getting really jealous at what he was seeing. "Fiona I think that you are very beautiful and I was wondering if you would like to go and get something to eat with me?" asked Eric as he took Fiona's hand and gave it a light kiss. "I am sorry but I can't Eric," said Fiona pulling her hand away. 'Man this guy is not afraid to say what is on his mind,' thought Van as he walked off not listening to the rest of the conversation. "Why not Fiona is it because you like someone else?" asked Eric in an upset tone. "It's because. never mind," said Fiona and she walked off. "So she won't go for me and I bet it is because of Van," said Eric as if it were a fact known by everybody. "I guess I will have to find a way to make her mine instead of Vans," he said before walking off.
Moonbay was just around the corner because she had just come from speaking with Fiona and was slightly interested in the conversation. She was about to leave to leave when she overheard what he said. 'Hmm, what is he up too?' Moonbay asked herself as she spotted him walking off. 'Maybe I should tell someone about this. Maybe Fiona,' thought Moonbay. Moonbay then went to go and find Fiona to tell her what she had heard.
Moonbay had searched for a while till she found Fiona. "Fiona I have something to tell you," said Moonbay. " I can't talk right now," said Fiona. "Why?" asked Moonbay. "I have some plans," said Fiona and she walked away. 'Maybe I thought he meant something else,' thought Moonbay. She walked off but still couldn't help but feel like something bad was going to happen.
"Where could Van possibly be?" Fiona asked herself as she walked down the halls of the base. Suddenly a voice came over the loudspeakers.
