Fiona eyes opened to sunlight hitting her face. She felt Van's arms wrapped
protectively around her and she relax some more enjoying the feeling.
"Fiona," Van mumbled in his sleep. An idea came over Fiona when she heard
this. Very carefully as to not wake him up she got out of his hold. Looking
down she bent over and gave him a kiss on the lips. At first there was no
reaction until he started to kiss back. That was when Fiona knew that he
was awake. Pulling away, she saw him looking back at her. "I don't think I
am completely awake yet," said Van in a joking manner. "Then let me help,"
said Fiona as she kissed him again. This went on before they reluctantly
broke away for air. "Come on. We should head back before Eric shows up,"
Van said, thought he was very reluctant to because it felt so good at that
moment to have Fiona in his arms. Van stood up and put an arm around
Fiona's waist. Helping her out because of her sore foot. "How's your foot?"
asked Van with worry in his voice. "It still hurts pretty bad," said Fiona
as she winced in pain. "We had better get it checked when we get back just
to be safe," said Van as he lifted her up into the blade liger's back seat.
Taking the front seat, he closed the canopy and got the blade liger going.
They had only traveled for a few minutes before they came across the place
where the fight had taken place just yesterday. "Where is the genobreaker
remains?" asked Fiona noticing that they were gone. "He must have taken
them. What can he do with some remains though?" asked Van.
"How could I have been beaten so easily when my genosaurer was more powerful than any other," said Eric as he looked over the remains of his zoid. "Blade. What do you think that we should do?" asked Eric to his organoid. The organoid growled and this caused Eric to smile. "That is perfect. A genobreaker should be perfect to get the job done," said Eric with a laugh. "Van had enough trouble with the genobreaker that Raven had but my zoid is even more powerful than his so it will make it an unstoppable zoid," said Eric again causing him to laugh even more. "Van will seriously regret the day that he met me, and took my Fiona away from him. Fiona and me were meant to be. He took her away from me and he will die for it. I will be able to destroy Van and get Fiona in just a short amount of time," he said with a wicked grin across his face. "You know what to do blade," said Eric pointing to the ruined genosaurer. The organoid growled in agreement before he took to the sky and fell down upon the genosaurer. A bright light started to form around it and it was wrapped in an evolution cocoon. "Good now I will get Fiona," said Eric. He started to laugh once more.
"Van, you got Fiona back," said Thomas happily as Van helped to get Fiona out of the liger. "Yeah and it wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be to find her," said Van as he picked Fiona up bridal style and jumped out of the blade liger. "What is wrong with Fiona?" asked Thomas noticing that Fiona looked like she was in pain. "She hurt her ankle. We have to go get it checked," said Van seriously. "What about Eric Van?" asked Thomas with so much seriousness in his voice. "Unfortunately he got away again, but not before I destroyed his zoid," said Van hoping that it would be a while before they saw him again. "That might slow him down a bit," said Irvine. "Yeah but the strange thing is that earlier today when we went to get in the liger the remains of the zoid were gone," said Van. "What if he tries to revive it and make it a genobreaker?" asked Thomas knowing that most likely that is what Eric would need the remains of the genosaurer for. He knew that organoids could revive zoids because he had heard of what happened to make the blade liger. "I don't know what we will do if that should happen, because when I fought him he said that his zoid was already as powerful as a genobreaker," said Van hoping that this wouldn't happen. "That is pretty powerful but you still beat it," said Irvine. "I guess. Listen, we will have to talk about this later because I have to take Fiona to go and get her leg helped," said Van and him and Fiona walked off to get Fiona's leg checked.
"I think that it is about time that we head back to the base since we got Fiona back and it might not be safe to this place if Eric should come back even more powerful than ever," said Moonbay with dread in her voice. "You are probably right and Fiona might be much safer at the base," said Van looking at the sleeping Fiona. "So we had better get going," said Irvine and they all packed up. Van walked over to Fiona and shook her lightly. "Hey Fiona. you need to wake up," Van said kindly. She groggily opened her eyes and sat up. 'Why?" asked Fiona sleepily. "We are going to be leaving. I know you are tired from all that has happened but we really do need to get going," said Van as he wrapped his arm around Fiona's shoulder. "Ok," was all that Fiona said. They went out and got in the gustav. "Moonbay I think that I will go back in my dibison," said Thomas. "Ok we will see you back at the base," replied Moonbay. Thomas got in his zoid and went off. "We should hurry before we see Eric again," said Moonbay. "Right," said Irvine.
"Moonbay do you know where the next town is because I thought that it would be smart to stop there for the night?" asked Irvine noticing that everyone was getting very tired. "There should be a town a few miles away, but we could be back by tomorrow morning if we keep on going," said Moonbay looking at a map. "What do the rest of you think about this?" Moonbay asked Van and Fiona. They didn't answer her and she looked around to find Van and Fiona sleeping in each other's arms. She gave a smile at the sight before her. "They look really cute sleeping like that," said Moonbay dreamily. "Why don't we just keep going for now," said Irvine, "They have gone through enough and deserve to rest and they look happy just like that," said Irvine. "It would be smart if we got to the base as soon as possible," said Moonbay. "You are right that would be smart," said Irvine. "So just keep on going," said Irvine. He then looked up at the dark sky.
The evolution cocoon started to break apart and in it's place stood a pure black genobreaker. "Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to get the job done," he said to himself. hopping into the genobreaker he immediately looked over the controls. "Good they aren't much different from the controls of the genosaurer so that should save me a great deal of time just trying to learn it," he said as he gripped the control. "This time Van you will not survive my attack," he said. "Why don't we have a small test of its power?" asked Eric with a smirk. He heard a growl of agreement form his organoid and he moved the genobreaker fast. "Has good speed. That is good to see because I will need it to match up with the speed of the blade liger," said Eric. He looked in front of him and saw a decent sized hill in front of him. "Let's do this," said Eric as he pressed a few keys. The clamps to the genobreaker went into the ground and its mouth opened up and started to bring in energy. The energy was released and what was once the hill was not there anymore. "This is perfect. The power is exactly what I need. Van will fall before my power," said Eric before he laughed and insane laugh.
Moonbay and the others had finally arrived at the base. "It is good that we didn't stop because we were able to get here a few days earlier than it took us to get there," said Irvine with a sigh of relief. "Fiona, we are back," said Van as he shook her sleeping for. "I know," said Fiona as she woke up with a yawn. "Can we just go back to sleep because it is way to early right now," said Fiona noticing that the sun was just barely even seen. Maybe only a very small dot of it was shown. "I have no problem with that," said Van with a smile before he put an arm around Fiona's shoulder and they went into the base but since it was really early in the morning they were still really tired. However Van stopped though when he could have sworn that he saw a very bright flash of light in the horizon opposite from the sun. "What is it Van?" asked Fiona looking in the same direction yet seeing nothing there. "Nothing, I just thought that I saw something," said Van with a shake of his head. "Oh ok,' said Fiona as the two of them walked into the base and immediately went to one of their rooms and fell asleep in each others arms.
Nearby Eric had caught up to them and was waiting for his chance to attack. He just stood there on a hill that overlooked the base. He just stood there unflinchingly and did nothing as he watched the sun rise and brighten up the area. He had to of at least stood there in the same position for at least two hours before he gave off a smirk and walked to the genobreaker. "Today this will all end. Van Flyheight will meet his end by my hands like it was meant to be. Then Fiona will only have me left to turn to," said Eric with a laugh. "I wanted to see Van suffer for his life before I kill him, but I guess I might as well get it over with now and not have to worry about him later," He said before he started his attack.
Van was asleep but was woken up by a shaking of the base from the attack. He immediately got out of the bed and he got dressed and went to figure out what was going on. "What is going on?" asked Van as he entered the control room. "We are being attacked by a black genobreaker," said Herman looking at a screen. "Could it be Eric?" asked Van thinking that what they talked about might have come true. "It is him because he told us that he would stop attacking if we handed over Fiona and also hand over you for him to destroy," said Herman sadly knowing that it wasn't something that he could do right now. "We must get everyone to safety," said Moonbay as she ran out of the room. "Right I will go out to hold him off and you work on getting everyone to safety," said Van. "Ok Van you do that," said Irvine. Van left and got into his liger. "Mobilize Zeke," yelled Van. Zeke did as he was told. Van ran out to face off against Eric.
"Ah here comes Van," said Eric. "Mobilize Blade," yelled Eric. The organoid then fused with the genobreaker. "Good at least I know that this time the organoid is here and not at the base trying to get Fiona," said Van knowing that now there was nothing to stop this fight. "So good to see you Van how do you like my new genobreaker," said Eric. "I am unimpressed. I have faced them before and Raven's was probably much better then yours because he is a much better pilot," said Van. "Raven is a pathetic wimp compared to me Van," said Eric with a smile. "I will be the judge of that when I see dead," said Van letting his anger get the better of him. "You will be after I show you what it is capable of," said Eric as the two zoids flew at each other. Van attacked but he wasn't able to hit the zoid. "I am much quicker this time so you won't be able to hit me Van," said Eric with a laugh at Van's attempt. "So that won't mean that I won't defeat you," said Van. "Ha, that makes me laugh," said Eric. Van attack and jumped on the genobreaker and the liger used its teeth to bite it but it had no effect on it. "What? I can't even damage this thing," said an astonished Van. Van charged up his blades and attacked but the genobreaker dodged it and grabbed the liger by the blades. "See you have no chance," Eric said and he tore off both of the blades. "No I have lost both of the blades what am I going to do," said Van as worry went throughout his body. "Nothing," said Eric as he prepared to shoot a charged particle gun. He fired but Van managed to dodge the attack but the base was in the way and it hit it but it wasn't destroyed but it did start to burn up. "What, no I have got to go and help them," said Van. He tried to get back to the base but was stopped by Eric. "I won't let you go not when I could force you to watch as the base containing all of your friends burns down," said Eric with a laugh. Van fired his guns and this managed to distract Eric enough to let him get by and head back to the base. When he got there he got out of the liger outside and went into the base.
Eric was watching this and he said, "So what if I didn't manage to kill him at the moment. He won't even make it out of the base in time to save his own life said Eric as he sat back in the cockpit and watched the show with amusement. "As much as I will enjoy seeing Van die, I just hope that Fiona manages to get out. I can't allow her to die before I make her mine," He just stayed there and watched as the base burned. "You have no chance of survival Van. Now I will be rid of you and will be able to be with my sweet Fiona," said Eric with a laugh.
Van was in the base trying to help people get out before the base collapsed. As most of the people got out Van asked, "Where's Fiona?" he asked with a lot of urgency in his voice. "I thought she was already out," said Thomas starting to panic that Fiona might not have made it out. "She isn't, I can't find her anywhere," Van said. "Finish getting the rest of the people out. I will go and look for Fiona," said Van and then he quickly ran into the base.
Van looked around for a while being unable to find Fiona. He didn't give up though, not finding her made it even more important for Van to find her. He kept looking and he found her and she was trapped under a fallen piece of the base but she looked all right. "Van help me?" she asked when she noticed him. Van quickly ran to her side and helped her get out. "Are you ok Fiona?" asked Van looking her over for any serious injuries. "I am fine but we have to get out of here soon. The fire keep on spreading," said Fiona. "You're right, lets go," said Van as he grabbed her hand and they ran to get out of the place. When they were almost out when a beam fell. Van noticed it at the last moment. Van grabbed Fiona and threw her forward. The beam now separated Van and Fiona. at the moment, Fiona was the only one capable of getting out. "Fiona go, I will find another way out," said Van seriously. "Van I won't leave you," said Fiona trying to reach out to him. "Just go I will be fine," said Van as he kissed her hand and pushed her towards the exit. "Ok, I will go, just come out alive," pleaded Fiona but she was crying while saying it. "I will," said Van sadly. Fiona ran out and Van went to look for an exit. Van searched and searched but all of the other exits were blocked off. "Where is an exit," Van said to himself as he found another blocked exit. He kept looking but when he found an exit that wasn't blocked, a beam fell on top of him trapping him before he could reach it. "No, I can't get out from under this," said Van to himself. The fire was spreading from all around him. "I'm sorry Fiona. I guess I won't be able to get out," said Van as the fires surrounded him.
Eric was watching out of distance as all of the soldiers ran out of the base. He was especially happy when he saw Fiona running out of it without Van. He was smiling at the events that were happening. "Now Van will be history," he said as he took the control and charged up the genobreaker. He let a smile slip as he fired his charged particle gun. The beam hit the base and the base exploded. "Goodbye Van," was all he said and then he laughed.
Fiona watched in horror as it happened and yelled, "No, Van!!" she screamed when she didn't see him come out of the base. She started to cry with what had just happened and everyone else was shocked when they learned that Van was still in the place when it had exploded. "This can't be happening," said Fiona as tears freely fell from her eyes. Moonbay walked up to Fiona and was sad to see her friend in the condition she was in. "Please don't say that Van was in there," said Moonbay knowing exactly what happened. "No, he had to get out, he just had to" said a frantic Fiona. she overdid it though and passed out. Now it was Moonbay's turn to cry for her lost friend.
Eric just laughed at what happened and ran off. "Finally there is no more Van to get in my way," Eric said. "Now it is time for me to pick up my prize," he said but then thought it over. "On second thought. She might not be too happy with me right now so I better give her some time to cool down. She might be angry and try to kill me, but with time I am sure I can get her to get over it," said Eric with a laugh.
That night everyone from the base was camped outside a ways away from the still burning base. "Poor Fiona she is taking all that had happened harder than any of us, since she really loved Van," said Moonbay sadly as she just looked into a campfire that they had going. "I wish that there was something that we can do for her," said Thomas looking at Fiona since she was sitting away from everyone else. "Yeah I wish," said Moonbay. Moonbay then walked over to Fiona to see if she could comfort her. When she got there she saw that Fiona was holding her stomach but didn't say anything. "Are you going to be alright Fiona?" asked Moonbay with sympathy in her voice. Fiona didn't say anything. When Moonbay was about to say something Fiona finally said something. Fiona said, "He told me that he would get out alive." "Unfortunately he didn't," said a very upset Moonbay. "He will never fully be gone though, I have something from him that is very important to me. it shows me that my love for him was real," said Fiona quietly. "What do you mean by that. oh," said Moonbay as she remembered how Fiona was holding her stomach when she first got there. "I knew you two were close but not that close as to get you pregnant," said Moonbay. Knowing that Fiona wanted to be alone at that time Moonbay got up and walked away but not before hearing Fiona say, "Van." And then Fiona burst into tears again that just made Moonbay heart hurt at seeing her friend in such a sad state.
Later in the night Fiona had a dream about Van. "Fiona I will never leave you," said Van in her dream. "Please Van don't go," said Fiona in her dream as Van disappeared right in front of her. Fiona woke up with a jump and looked around to find nothing. "It was just a dream," said Fiona. she could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Then Fiona just broke into tears. "Why Van, why did you have to leave me?" she asked herself sadly. She looked at the liger, which they got away from the explosion, and this made her even sadder. She then heard a noise coming from behind her. She expected it to be Moonbay, Thomas, or Irvine. She didn't even bother to turn around to look. She heard the noise and she knew that if it was Moonbay or one of the others they would have said something by now. She was afraid that it might have been Eric out to get her. She spun around in fear to see who it was. What she saw made her eyes widen and made her gasp. There he stood, blood all over him from many wounds that he had gotten. She could only say one thing. "Van," said a very surprised Fiona. "Fi.o.na," said Van weakly before he collapsed to the ground. Fiona quickly got up and ran over to Van. "Van! Van!" screamed Fiona trying to get him to wake up. Moonbay was sleeping nearby but was woken up from hearing Fiona looked to see what it was and she saw Van. "What the," she said in surprise as she ran over to Fiona. "Come on Fiona. we have to get him help," said Moonbay as she helped Fiona to get to a doctor where Van could be helped.
"How could he have survived the explosion we saw that he didn't get out," said Irvine a little confused by what was going on. "That is a real mystery to me," said Moonbay, "We can't ask him right now because of his condition and that he is unconscious," said Moonbay. "I don't care how just as long as he is alive," said Fiona this time with tears of happiness running down her face. "Why don't you all go and get some sleep and come back in the morning," said a doctor noticing that they were all very tired at the moment. Everyone that was there left except Fiona. "Fiona aren't you coming?" asked Thomas noticing that she stayed behind. "No I will stay here. I will stay with Van until he wakes up," said Fiona as she sat by Van and took Van's hand. "Ok, you do that," said Moonbay knowing that it would be pointless to argue with Fiona. "Thank you," said Fiona never taking her eyes off of Van. Moonbay and the others left and Fiona asked the doctor, "How will Van be?" "With his injuries he will be out for a while but other than that he should be fine," said the doctor. "That is good," said Fiona as she turned back to Van.
Van had been sleeping for over a week now and Fiona never left his side. "Please Van you have to get better," said Fiona to his still unconscious form. "It is all my fault if I hadn't stayed in the base for so long then you would never be in this state," said Fiona as tears fell from her eyes. She started to cry and a tear rolled down her face and landed on Van. Van started to wake up by this but Fiona didn't notice this. She continued to cry but this time Van stopped one of the tears. Fiona looked up and saw that Van was awake. "Van you are alright," said Fiona as she wrapped Van up in a hug. Van winced in pain but he didn't object to it. "Yeah, I am," said Van as he kissed her forehead. "It is not your fault Fiona you tried to get out but with what happened it couldn't be helped," said Van quietly. Fiona just stared at Van and they then went closer and kissed each other. "So don't worry I should be fine," said Van after they had broken apart. Fiona just responded by smiling at Van.
"How could I have been beaten so easily when my genosaurer was more powerful than any other," said Eric as he looked over the remains of his zoid. "Blade. What do you think that we should do?" asked Eric to his organoid. The organoid growled and this caused Eric to smile. "That is perfect. A genobreaker should be perfect to get the job done," said Eric with a laugh. "Van had enough trouble with the genobreaker that Raven had but my zoid is even more powerful than his so it will make it an unstoppable zoid," said Eric again causing him to laugh even more. "Van will seriously regret the day that he met me, and took my Fiona away from him. Fiona and me were meant to be. He took her away from me and he will die for it. I will be able to destroy Van and get Fiona in just a short amount of time," he said with a wicked grin across his face. "You know what to do blade," said Eric pointing to the ruined genosaurer. The organoid growled in agreement before he took to the sky and fell down upon the genosaurer. A bright light started to form around it and it was wrapped in an evolution cocoon. "Good now I will get Fiona," said Eric. He started to laugh once more.
"Van, you got Fiona back," said Thomas happily as Van helped to get Fiona out of the liger. "Yeah and it wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be to find her," said Van as he picked Fiona up bridal style and jumped out of the blade liger. "What is wrong with Fiona?" asked Thomas noticing that Fiona looked like she was in pain. "She hurt her ankle. We have to go get it checked," said Van seriously. "What about Eric Van?" asked Thomas with so much seriousness in his voice. "Unfortunately he got away again, but not before I destroyed his zoid," said Van hoping that it would be a while before they saw him again. "That might slow him down a bit," said Irvine. "Yeah but the strange thing is that earlier today when we went to get in the liger the remains of the zoid were gone," said Van. "What if he tries to revive it and make it a genobreaker?" asked Thomas knowing that most likely that is what Eric would need the remains of the genosaurer for. He knew that organoids could revive zoids because he had heard of what happened to make the blade liger. "I don't know what we will do if that should happen, because when I fought him he said that his zoid was already as powerful as a genobreaker," said Van hoping that this wouldn't happen. "That is pretty powerful but you still beat it," said Irvine. "I guess. Listen, we will have to talk about this later because I have to take Fiona to go and get her leg helped," said Van and him and Fiona walked off to get Fiona's leg checked.
"I think that it is about time that we head back to the base since we got Fiona back and it might not be safe to this place if Eric should come back even more powerful than ever," said Moonbay with dread in her voice. "You are probably right and Fiona might be much safer at the base," said Van looking at the sleeping Fiona. "So we had better get going," said Irvine and they all packed up. Van walked over to Fiona and shook her lightly. "Hey Fiona. you need to wake up," Van said kindly. She groggily opened her eyes and sat up. 'Why?" asked Fiona sleepily. "We are going to be leaving. I know you are tired from all that has happened but we really do need to get going," said Van as he wrapped his arm around Fiona's shoulder. "Ok," was all that Fiona said. They went out and got in the gustav. "Moonbay I think that I will go back in my dibison," said Thomas. "Ok we will see you back at the base," replied Moonbay. Thomas got in his zoid and went off. "We should hurry before we see Eric again," said Moonbay. "Right," said Irvine.
"Moonbay do you know where the next town is because I thought that it would be smart to stop there for the night?" asked Irvine noticing that everyone was getting very tired. "There should be a town a few miles away, but we could be back by tomorrow morning if we keep on going," said Moonbay looking at a map. "What do the rest of you think about this?" Moonbay asked Van and Fiona. They didn't answer her and she looked around to find Van and Fiona sleeping in each other's arms. She gave a smile at the sight before her. "They look really cute sleeping like that," said Moonbay dreamily. "Why don't we just keep going for now," said Irvine, "They have gone through enough and deserve to rest and they look happy just like that," said Irvine. "It would be smart if we got to the base as soon as possible," said Moonbay. "You are right that would be smart," said Irvine. "So just keep on going," said Irvine. He then looked up at the dark sky.
The evolution cocoon started to break apart and in it's place stood a pure black genobreaker. "Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to get the job done," he said to himself. hopping into the genobreaker he immediately looked over the controls. "Good they aren't much different from the controls of the genosaurer so that should save me a great deal of time just trying to learn it," he said as he gripped the control. "This time Van you will not survive my attack," he said. "Why don't we have a small test of its power?" asked Eric with a smirk. He heard a growl of agreement form his organoid and he moved the genobreaker fast. "Has good speed. That is good to see because I will need it to match up with the speed of the blade liger," said Eric. He looked in front of him and saw a decent sized hill in front of him. "Let's do this," said Eric as he pressed a few keys. The clamps to the genobreaker went into the ground and its mouth opened up and started to bring in energy. The energy was released and what was once the hill was not there anymore. "This is perfect. The power is exactly what I need. Van will fall before my power," said Eric before he laughed and insane laugh.
Moonbay and the others had finally arrived at the base. "It is good that we didn't stop because we were able to get here a few days earlier than it took us to get there," said Irvine with a sigh of relief. "Fiona, we are back," said Van as he shook her sleeping for. "I know," said Fiona as she woke up with a yawn. "Can we just go back to sleep because it is way to early right now," said Fiona noticing that the sun was just barely even seen. Maybe only a very small dot of it was shown. "I have no problem with that," said Van with a smile before he put an arm around Fiona's shoulder and they went into the base but since it was really early in the morning they were still really tired. However Van stopped though when he could have sworn that he saw a very bright flash of light in the horizon opposite from the sun. "What is it Van?" asked Fiona looking in the same direction yet seeing nothing there. "Nothing, I just thought that I saw something," said Van with a shake of his head. "Oh ok,' said Fiona as the two of them walked into the base and immediately went to one of their rooms and fell asleep in each others arms.
Nearby Eric had caught up to them and was waiting for his chance to attack. He just stood there on a hill that overlooked the base. He just stood there unflinchingly and did nothing as he watched the sun rise and brighten up the area. He had to of at least stood there in the same position for at least two hours before he gave off a smirk and walked to the genobreaker. "Today this will all end. Van Flyheight will meet his end by my hands like it was meant to be. Then Fiona will only have me left to turn to," said Eric with a laugh. "I wanted to see Van suffer for his life before I kill him, but I guess I might as well get it over with now and not have to worry about him later," He said before he started his attack.
Van was asleep but was woken up by a shaking of the base from the attack. He immediately got out of the bed and he got dressed and went to figure out what was going on. "What is going on?" asked Van as he entered the control room. "We are being attacked by a black genobreaker," said Herman looking at a screen. "Could it be Eric?" asked Van thinking that what they talked about might have come true. "It is him because he told us that he would stop attacking if we handed over Fiona and also hand over you for him to destroy," said Herman sadly knowing that it wasn't something that he could do right now. "We must get everyone to safety," said Moonbay as she ran out of the room. "Right I will go out to hold him off and you work on getting everyone to safety," said Van. "Ok Van you do that," said Irvine. Van left and got into his liger. "Mobilize Zeke," yelled Van. Zeke did as he was told. Van ran out to face off against Eric.
"Ah here comes Van," said Eric. "Mobilize Blade," yelled Eric. The organoid then fused with the genobreaker. "Good at least I know that this time the organoid is here and not at the base trying to get Fiona," said Van knowing that now there was nothing to stop this fight. "So good to see you Van how do you like my new genobreaker," said Eric. "I am unimpressed. I have faced them before and Raven's was probably much better then yours because he is a much better pilot," said Van. "Raven is a pathetic wimp compared to me Van," said Eric with a smile. "I will be the judge of that when I see dead," said Van letting his anger get the better of him. "You will be after I show you what it is capable of," said Eric as the two zoids flew at each other. Van attacked but he wasn't able to hit the zoid. "I am much quicker this time so you won't be able to hit me Van," said Eric with a laugh at Van's attempt. "So that won't mean that I won't defeat you," said Van. "Ha, that makes me laugh," said Eric. Van attack and jumped on the genobreaker and the liger used its teeth to bite it but it had no effect on it. "What? I can't even damage this thing," said an astonished Van. Van charged up his blades and attacked but the genobreaker dodged it and grabbed the liger by the blades. "See you have no chance," Eric said and he tore off both of the blades. "No I have lost both of the blades what am I going to do," said Van as worry went throughout his body. "Nothing," said Eric as he prepared to shoot a charged particle gun. He fired but Van managed to dodge the attack but the base was in the way and it hit it but it wasn't destroyed but it did start to burn up. "What, no I have got to go and help them," said Van. He tried to get back to the base but was stopped by Eric. "I won't let you go not when I could force you to watch as the base containing all of your friends burns down," said Eric with a laugh. Van fired his guns and this managed to distract Eric enough to let him get by and head back to the base. When he got there he got out of the liger outside and went into the base.
Eric was watching this and he said, "So what if I didn't manage to kill him at the moment. He won't even make it out of the base in time to save his own life said Eric as he sat back in the cockpit and watched the show with amusement. "As much as I will enjoy seeing Van die, I just hope that Fiona manages to get out. I can't allow her to die before I make her mine," He just stayed there and watched as the base burned. "You have no chance of survival Van. Now I will be rid of you and will be able to be with my sweet Fiona," said Eric with a laugh.
Van was in the base trying to help people get out before the base collapsed. As most of the people got out Van asked, "Where's Fiona?" he asked with a lot of urgency in his voice. "I thought she was already out," said Thomas starting to panic that Fiona might not have made it out. "She isn't, I can't find her anywhere," Van said. "Finish getting the rest of the people out. I will go and look for Fiona," said Van and then he quickly ran into the base.
Van looked around for a while being unable to find Fiona. He didn't give up though, not finding her made it even more important for Van to find her. He kept looking and he found her and she was trapped under a fallen piece of the base but she looked all right. "Van help me?" she asked when she noticed him. Van quickly ran to her side and helped her get out. "Are you ok Fiona?" asked Van looking her over for any serious injuries. "I am fine but we have to get out of here soon. The fire keep on spreading," said Fiona. "You're right, lets go," said Van as he grabbed her hand and they ran to get out of the place. When they were almost out when a beam fell. Van noticed it at the last moment. Van grabbed Fiona and threw her forward. The beam now separated Van and Fiona. at the moment, Fiona was the only one capable of getting out. "Fiona go, I will find another way out," said Van seriously. "Van I won't leave you," said Fiona trying to reach out to him. "Just go I will be fine," said Van as he kissed her hand and pushed her towards the exit. "Ok, I will go, just come out alive," pleaded Fiona but she was crying while saying it. "I will," said Van sadly. Fiona ran out and Van went to look for an exit. Van searched and searched but all of the other exits were blocked off. "Where is an exit," Van said to himself as he found another blocked exit. He kept looking but when he found an exit that wasn't blocked, a beam fell on top of him trapping him before he could reach it. "No, I can't get out from under this," said Van to himself. The fire was spreading from all around him. "I'm sorry Fiona. I guess I won't be able to get out," said Van as the fires surrounded him.
Eric was watching out of distance as all of the soldiers ran out of the base. He was especially happy when he saw Fiona running out of it without Van. He was smiling at the events that were happening. "Now Van will be history," he said as he took the control and charged up the genobreaker. He let a smile slip as he fired his charged particle gun. The beam hit the base and the base exploded. "Goodbye Van," was all he said and then he laughed.
Fiona watched in horror as it happened and yelled, "No, Van!!" she screamed when she didn't see him come out of the base. She started to cry with what had just happened and everyone else was shocked when they learned that Van was still in the place when it had exploded. "This can't be happening," said Fiona as tears freely fell from her eyes. Moonbay walked up to Fiona and was sad to see her friend in the condition she was in. "Please don't say that Van was in there," said Moonbay knowing exactly what happened. "No, he had to get out, he just had to" said a frantic Fiona. she overdid it though and passed out. Now it was Moonbay's turn to cry for her lost friend.
Eric just laughed at what happened and ran off. "Finally there is no more Van to get in my way," Eric said. "Now it is time for me to pick up my prize," he said but then thought it over. "On second thought. She might not be too happy with me right now so I better give her some time to cool down. She might be angry and try to kill me, but with time I am sure I can get her to get over it," said Eric with a laugh.
That night everyone from the base was camped outside a ways away from the still burning base. "Poor Fiona she is taking all that had happened harder than any of us, since she really loved Van," said Moonbay sadly as she just looked into a campfire that they had going. "I wish that there was something that we can do for her," said Thomas looking at Fiona since she was sitting away from everyone else. "Yeah I wish," said Moonbay. Moonbay then walked over to Fiona to see if she could comfort her. When she got there she saw that Fiona was holding her stomach but didn't say anything. "Are you going to be alright Fiona?" asked Moonbay with sympathy in her voice. Fiona didn't say anything. When Moonbay was about to say something Fiona finally said something. Fiona said, "He told me that he would get out alive." "Unfortunately he didn't," said a very upset Moonbay. "He will never fully be gone though, I have something from him that is very important to me. it shows me that my love for him was real," said Fiona quietly. "What do you mean by that. oh," said Moonbay as she remembered how Fiona was holding her stomach when she first got there. "I knew you two were close but not that close as to get you pregnant," said Moonbay. Knowing that Fiona wanted to be alone at that time Moonbay got up and walked away but not before hearing Fiona say, "Van." And then Fiona burst into tears again that just made Moonbay heart hurt at seeing her friend in such a sad state.
Later in the night Fiona had a dream about Van. "Fiona I will never leave you," said Van in her dream. "Please Van don't go," said Fiona in her dream as Van disappeared right in front of her. Fiona woke up with a jump and looked around to find nothing. "It was just a dream," said Fiona. she could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Then Fiona just broke into tears. "Why Van, why did you have to leave me?" she asked herself sadly. She looked at the liger, which they got away from the explosion, and this made her even sadder. She then heard a noise coming from behind her. She expected it to be Moonbay, Thomas, or Irvine. She didn't even bother to turn around to look. She heard the noise and she knew that if it was Moonbay or one of the others they would have said something by now. She was afraid that it might have been Eric out to get her. She spun around in fear to see who it was. What she saw made her eyes widen and made her gasp. There he stood, blood all over him from many wounds that he had gotten. She could only say one thing. "Van," said a very surprised Fiona. "Fi.o.na," said Van weakly before he collapsed to the ground. Fiona quickly got up and ran over to Van. "Van! Van!" screamed Fiona trying to get him to wake up. Moonbay was sleeping nearby but was woken up from hearing Fiona looked to see what it was and she saw Van. "What the," she said in surprise as she ran over to Fiona. "Come on Fiona. we have to get him help," said Moonbay as she helped Fiona to get to a doctor where Van could be helped.
"How could he have survived the explosion we saw that he didn't get out," said Irvine a little confused by what was going on. "That is a real mystery to me," said Moonbay, "We can't ask him right now because of his condition and that he is unconscious," said Moonbay. "I don't care how just as long as he is alive," said Fiona this time with tears of happiness running down her face. "Why don't you all go and get some sleep and come back in the morning," said a doctor noticing that they were all very tired at the moment. Everyone that was there left except Fiona. "Fiona aren't you coming?" asked Thomas noticing that she stayed behind. "No I will stay here. I will stay with Van until he wakes up," said Fiona as she sat by Van and took Van's hand. "Ok, you do that," said Moonbay knowing that it would be pointless to argue with Fiona. "Thank you," said Fiona never taking her eyes off of Van. Moonbay and the others left and Fiona asked the doctor, "How will Van be?" "With his injuries he will be out for a while but other than that he should be fine," said the doctor. "That is good," said Fiona as she turned back to Van.
Van had been sleeping for over a week now and Fiona never left his side. "Please Van you have to get better," said Fiona to his still unconscious form. "It is all my fault if I hadn't stayed in the base for so long then you would never be in this state," said Fiona as tears fell from her eyes. She started to cry and a tear rolled down her face and landed on Van. Van started to wake up by this but Fiona didn't notice this. She continued to cry but this time Van stopped one of the tears. Fiona looked up and saw that Van was awake. "Van you are alright," said Fiona as she wrapped Van up in a hug. Van winced in pain but he didn't object to it. "Yeah, I am," said Van as he kissed her forehead. "It is not your fault Fiona you tried to get out but with what happened it couldn't be helped," said Van quietly. Fiona just stared at Van and they then went closer and kissed each other. "So don't worry I should be fine," said Van after they had broken apart. Fiona just responded by smiling at Van.
