"Hey Van," said Moonbay. "What is it?" asked Van. "I was just wondering why Fiona hasn't been feeling good lately?" asked Moonbay. "She hasn't been feeling good since she left the hospital and she is having trouble sleeping because of nightmares she has been having and is afraid to be alone so I offered to stay with her," said Van. "I see poor Fiona," said Moonbay. "I wish that there was something I could do but I just don't know," said Van sadly. "I think I know of something," said Moonbay as a large grin formed across her face. "What?" asked Van slightly uncomfortable with the smirk that was crossing her face at that moment. "Well I think that you are the perfect thing to help her," said Moonbay as her grin grew even larger. "Huh?" asked Van slightly confused. "Why don't you think about it and I am sure that you will know what I mean," said Moonbay as she took off down one of the hallways. Van then walked off after that heading in the opposite direction.

Van and Fiona were taking a walk outside the base later that evening. 'Get a grip Van,' thought Van because for some reason he seemed nervous around her. It was odd for him because he has never felt this way around Fiona. 'We know how the other feels. So why am I so nervous?' Van asked himself. Fiona was happy which he was really glad for but suddenly in less than a second she just started to freak out. "Fiona what is wrong?" asked Van as she collapsed to her knees. Fiona didn't say anything. All that she did was point to and area. Van looked and saw that it was Eric and he was spying on them. "What are you doing here," yelled Van as he stepped in front of Fiona trying to shield her. "I am here for Fiona," said Eric in a very calm expression. "Forget it," yelled Van as Fiona tried to hide herself behind him. images flashed through her head at what he had done to her. "You can not stand in the way of what was meant to be," said Eric as he started to run off. "I will be back so you had better not think that you have won," said Eric. Van got really mad and ran after him but ran into a zoid that Eric got into which was a genosaurer very similar to the one that Raven used to have. "What the! a genosaurer?" said a very surprised Van. Eric started to attack but Van managed to dodge its attacks but Eric managed to get away again. Van wondered how he got a genosaurer but put that aside to go and check on Fiona.

By the time that Van got to Fiona she was shaking a lot and he tried to comfort her. "It is ok Fiona he's gone," said Van as he wrapped Fiona within a tight embrace. "Please keep him away from me," said Fiona in a tone so full of fear that it made Van just hold her even tighter. "You know that I love you and that I will help you out in every way that I can," said Van and Fiona cheered up by this. "Thank you Van," said Fiona slightly calmer but yet with her tone still full of fear. "I just hope that we can stop him before he tries anything again," said Van, 'or before he manages to hurt Fiona more then he already has. He has hurt her enough already,' thought Van. "Fiona do you think that you can stand up?" asked Van very nicely. She got up to her feet but still held on tightly to Van. "Why don't you go and get some sleep," said Van quietly. Fiona merely nodded as she started to walk with Van back into the base. Van helped Fiona to get to her room and he stayed there till she got to sleep. Van got up from the chair that he had been sitting in for the past few minutes and walked towards the door. "Zeke," said Van and Zeke came walking around a corner towards Van. "Stay with Fiona. I need to go talk to the others. I will be back soon. Just look after her," said Van. Zeke growled in a response that Van knew as a yes. "Thanks buddy. Just be quiet since she is sleeping at the moment and I don't want to wake her up," said Van as he walked down the halls.

"I don't believe it," yelled Thomas as Van told them all that had happened. "And you said that he had a genosaurer Van?" asked Moonbay not liking the sound of this in the least. "Yeah I am positive about the genosaurer and he was also so insistent on getting to Fiona," said Van quietly. "That guy won't give up," said Thomas as he rested his head in his hands. "We have to capture that guy before he does anymore harm to Fiona," said Van with such urgency in his voice that it surprised everyone there. All of a sudden they heard a scream and Van at first thought that it was Fiona having another bad dream until he heard Zeke growling really loudly. They all ran very fast down the halls towards Fiona's room. When they reached the room they threw the door open and they saw Eric standing there right by her bed as Fiona was trying to get as far away from him as possible. "You must be really stupid to try and do the same thing twice in one night," said Irvine as he advanced towards him cracking his knuckles. "I will never give up as I told you Van," said Eric as he took a step towards Fiona making her move even farther away. "But you won't get away this time," said Van. As soon as he said that Eric jumped out the window and fell to the ground and landed without getting hurt. He tried to run but soldiers surrounded him with their guns out and ready. "I thought that you would try something again so I prepared for it and set a trap for you," said Van with a smirk crossing his face. "You will pay for this Van," Eric growled as the soldier took him away. They took him away and Fiona kept as far from him as she could get but he never took his eyes off of her with a large grin on his face. "Yes we have finally captured him," said Moonbay happily. Van was not too happy though. "What is wrong Van?" asked Irvine. "That seemed far too easy and why was he smiling while he was being taken away?" asked Van. "You are right, we had better put more guards on him so that he won't try anything," said Thomas. Fiona when she heard this started to get really worried. 'I have a very bad feeling about all of this,' thought Fiona.

Van was with Fiona in his room because they were both having trouble getting to sleep. "Van do you think that he is planning something?" asked Fiona as she walked over to a window and looked out towards the night sky. "I don't know Fiona but even if he does he will never lay a hand on you," said Van very protectively. Fiona couldn't help but smile at Vans reassuring words but was still feeling worried. Out of nowhere Van had come up to her and had wrapped his arms around her waist. This surprised her greatly, but she thought it felt good. "You have nothing to worry about I told you Fiona I will never let him lay his hands on you so you should not have anything to worry about," said Van with words that sent butterflies through Fiona's stomach. Van then started to kiss the back of her neck. The feeling for Fiona was more than anything that she could have ever thought. Van suddenly stopped. "What's wrong Van?" asked Fiona. She looked at him and saw that he had a surprised look on his face. "I am sorry about that. I just couldn't help it," said Van as he walked towards the door. "Where are you going?" Fiona asked very quickly. "I am going to my room before I do something else that you might not be ready for," said van as he walked through the door. Fiona then let a very disappointed look cross her face.

Van found himself laying down on his bed thinking about what just happened. "I might have ruined what I had with Fiona by nearly letting that happen," said Van. "It is just that I couldn't control myself," he said. 'She didn't seem to disagree,' came a voice in his head. "I have to stop thinking about this," said Van as he turned over and closed his eyes. He was about to fall asleep when the door to his room was opened up. Van didn't seem to notice until a voice brought out him out of his attempted sleep. "Van," came Fiona's voice. Slightly startled van turned around and what he saw made his jaw drop right to the floor. Fiona stood right in front of him wearing a white nightgown that showed off a lot. Van used as much self-control not to just grab he and pull her at him. "F-Fiona," stuttered Van admiring what he was seeing. 'Stop it,' he scolded himself. "W-what are you doing here?" asked Van. Fiona just blushed a deep crimson that seemed to match her eyes. "Is something wrong?" asked Van. "No, it isn't that it is just that. Well," said Fiona unsure how to put this. Van was then taken by surprise when she kissed him and lowered him down to the bed. Fiona then pulled away and looked at Van. "I want you Van," said Fiona with desire very clear in her voice. "F-Fiona," stuttered Van, "I-I we can't," said Van. "Why not?" asked Fiona slightly disappointed. "Don't take me wrong it isn't that I don't want you. It is just that Eric almost had the chance to do something like rape you. I don't want it to seem like I am taking advantage, because you are still being hurt by the mere thought of what happened," said Van with much sincerity. Fiona was surprised with how honest he was being with her. "Please Van. I need you very badly. I love you with all my heart. This is something I really want. He did it because I didn't want it with him, but I do want it with you," said Fiona. Van didn't know what came over him because the next thing that he knew he flipped Fiona onto her back as he hovered over her. Fiona also seemed surprised by this. Van just stared deep into her Crimson eyes with a look of lust in his eyes. He leaned down and gave Fiona a quick kiss on the lips. 'Don't do this,' his mind was yelling at him. Van didn't know if he could take much more though. He just felt like he had to have her. He then started to lay light kisses along her neck. Fiona moaned in pleasure at this feeling. Van then pulled away and looked into Fiona's eyes once again. "Are you sure you want this, because if I start I don't think I will be able to stop myself," said Van giving her the chance to stop. "Yes, I want this more than anything," was all Fiona said before she leaned up and kissed Van with a lot of passion. They both gave into the longing that they had for each other.

The next morning Van woke up and just laid there watching Fiona. Fiona was in a very peaceful sleep compared to all the nightmares that she had been having the past few weeks. She slept with a smile on her face during her dreamless sleep. One of her bangs feel in the way of her face and Van reached over and carefully brushed it out of the way. This caused Fiona to stir a little. She slowly opened her eyes and was met by a smiling Van. "Morning beautiful," said Van with a loving gaze. "Morning Van," said Fiona as she still laid there in his arms, which Van loved. "Sleep well?" asked Van with as much kindness in his voice as possible. "Yeah," said Fiona as she snuggled into Van's chest. "I am glad to hear that," said Van as a smile crossed his face once again. A growl was then heard coming from Van's stomach. "I am hungry how about you?" asked Van with a sheepish grin. "Can't I just stay here?" asked Fiona as she closed her eyes again. "Sure. How about I go and get some food for both of us?" asked Van. "That sounds good," said Fiona. "Then I will be right back," said Van as he reluctantly got out of bed. He quickly got dressed and then walked out the door. He might have only been gone for a few seconds but Fiona already missed him.

"I am back," said Van happily as he walked back into the room. Fiona was just as he had left her. Warm and safe under the covers. "Miss me?" asked Van with a grin. "Always," said Fiona as she kissed him. Van then had a serious look on his face. "What's wrong?" asked Fiona. "As much as I want to stay here there is something that I need to take care of," said Van sadly. Not liking the sound of that, Fiona just had to ask. "What do you have to do?" she asked. "I need to go interrogate Eric," said Van. Fiona face then started to get a scared look on it. "You stay here. I don't want you to be near there," said Van trying to protect her. "I promise that I will be ok," said Van as he kissed Fiona. "I will be back soon. So enjoy your breakfast," said Van as he reluctantly left Fiona's side once again.

As Van got there he found Eric with the same smile he had on when he was taken in. "Why is it that you want Fiona so badly?" asked Van with much determination in his voice. "Because she will be mine and not you or anyone will stop me from making her mine. This prison won't hold me forever and I will escape sooner or later," said Eric with the smile still on his face. "You leave Fiona alone. She does not belong to you or anyone. She is her own person. You won't lay one finger on her with how long you are going to be imprisoned," said Van. "Time in prison isn't going to stop me," said Eric with a sneer on his face. Van was getting more and more ticked off at him. "Forget this," said Van as he got up and walked off. "Say hello to Fiona for me, and that I will see her soon," Eric yelled after Van. Van had to restrain himself from going back and strangling the man for what he was saying. 'Calm down Van. He is only trying to provoke you,' he said to himself. 'Anyways if you go back to strangle him it will take longer for you to get back to Fiona,' thought Van happily.

"How did it go?" asked Fiona upon Van coming back. "Not good. He was playing stupid and wouldn't give any answers," said Van in a disappointed tone. "Are you sure he was playing?" asked Fiona making Van laugh. "Don't know," said Van cheering up a bit. "Are you planning on staying in this room forever?" asked Van with a smirk. "I like it in here. Especially when I am with you," said Fiona with a bright smile on her face. "Come on. You can't stay in here forever," said Van as he dragged Fiona to her feet. Fine, fine," muttered Fiona as she got up from the comfortable bed. Being in the guardian force definitely paid off with all the stuff that they got. Van then managed to drag Fiona out of the room.

A week went by and it was peaceful. Suddenly an explosion rocked the base startling Van and Fiona. "What was that?" asked Fiona. "I don't know. Wait here," said Van. "Actually better yet. Go to the control room. You will be safe there surrounded by soldiers," said Van. "Ok I will," said Fiona as the two of them ran out of the room. While Fiona turned a corner to go to the control room Van turned to go to the cells. Running as fast as he could he reached the cell only to see a lot of smoke and Eric with an organoid. "See ya Van," said Eric as the organoid took him and took off out of there. "No," yelled Van as he ran to his blade liger. Eric got in his genosaurer and took off. Van got in his blade liger and mobilized Zeke to go after him and he was able to catch up. "I told you that I would eventually escape," said Eric smiling. "You might have escaped but you won't get away," said Van. Eric started to run again and Van caught up to him. "Why do you keep on running you know that it is pointless," said Van but Eric ignored this and kept on running. This went on for a few minutes with them getting farther and farther away from the base. "Hahahahahahahaha," laughed Eric suddenly. "What are you laughing at?" asked Van who was losing his patience. "As I said Fiona will be mine and I have lead you into a trap. I left my organoid behind to pick something up before I leave," said Eric. "WHAT! Oh no, Fiona," said Van as he turned around to run to the base.

At the base it was quite and they saw no sign of the two zoids. "I hope Van is ok," said Fiona. As she was saying that Irvine thought that he heard something from behind them but when he turned around there was nothing there. "What is it Irvine?" asked Moonbay looking at him. "It is nothing I just thought that I heard something," said Irvine. Then there was an explosion in the wall behind him and the purple organoid appeared. It rammed through everyone injuring a lot of them and grabbed onto Fiona and flew off with everyone chasing after it but they were unable to catch up and it got away with Fiona. "Fiona," yelled a weak Moonbay before passing out. "Van is not going to be happy about this," said Irvine with a bruise on his arm and a cut lip. As he said that Vans blade liger came into view rushing at full speed towards the base.

Van came in and got out of the liger as Zeke also got out of the liger. Van was rushing around trying to find Fiona when he ran into Irvine. "Irvine, where is Fiona?" he asked. "We were attacked by the organoid and it grabbed Fiona and took off after injuring a lot of people in the base," said Irvine clutching his injured arm. Van took it really hard. He fell to the ground and started to cry. "I said to her I wouldn't let anyone get her but I wasn't able to help her," said Van as he took what happened. "There was nothing you could have done Van, you didn't know what he was going to do when you chased after him," said Irvine. "I should have," yelled Van as he walked towards the door. "Where are you going?" asked Irvine. "To find Fiona," said Van before running out of the room. Van immediately went off to get to the liger again to go and look for Fiona.
