Van was waking up and found himself in a dark room tied up with a figure standing before him. "So it looks like you weren't as tough as I thought Van Flyheight," came a voice. "That voice your Eric," said Van but he was dizzy and couldn't keep talking. "That is right," said Eric. "What are you trying to do? Are you going to try and get Fiona through me," asked Van? "No my plan has changed and now I want to make you suffer before I put you to better use," said Eric. "What do you mean," asked Van? "You will find out," said Eric as he pressed a button and Van was shocked by some electricity. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," yelled Van. It eventually stopped without Van getting killed by the electricity. "I can't let you die before I can have my fun," said Eric as he started to laugh. "Now let the fun begin," said Eric as he laughed again.

"Fiona are you going to be ok," asked Moonbay. "I will be fine. I know that Van is alive and that we will find him," Said Fiona. "My question is where did that charged particle beam come from we could see a great distance around us and I didn't see anything that could have fired it," said Moonbay. "It could only have one guess what could have fired it and that is Eric," said Fiona. "That would make sense," said Moonbay. "I am going to find Van even if it take years," said Fiona. "I will help you in every way that I can," said Moonbay. "Thanks Moonbay," said Fiona. "No problem," said Moonbay.

"What are you going to do with me," asked Van. "If I told you that it would take away all the fun," said Eric. "For now though you will just have to suffer," said Eric as he electrocuted Van again.

Fiona was sitting around when she suddenly felt something. "Fiona what is wrong," asked Moonbay? "It's Van he's suffering," said Fiona. "How do you know," asked Moonbay. "I can feel him," said Fiona. "I told you that I will help you get him back so don't worry," said Moonbay. "What's going on," asked Thomas as he walked up? "Fiona says that she can feel Van suffering," said Moonbay. "If Eric has him than he is more than likely making him suffer," said Thomas. "That guy has to be stopped," said Thomas.

"This is just too much fun," said Eric as he watched Van suffer. "I think it is time that I put my plan into effect," said Eric as Van passed out. "He will be out for a while with how much electricity I used but not enough to kill him," said Eric. "Doctors take him away and start doing as I told you," said Eric. "Yes sir," said the doctors as they grabbed Van and took him away. "This past month of torture has been fun but what I am going to do with him will be even better," said Eric with a laugh.

Irvine was in the desert searching to find any sign of Van. "It has been over a month since he disappeared and we have found no trace of him so where could he be," Irvine asked himself? He then saw something and it turned out to be Van lying by a wreck of a blade liger. "How can this be I checked in this place before and I found no sign of him and the blade liger shouldn't have been hard to spot. Who cares right now I should get him back to get some medical attention," said Irvine. Irvine quickly took Van back.

"You found Van," said Moonbay as Irvine came back. "Yeah but I find it weird that I checked the place I found him before but he wasn't there," said Irvine. "That is weird," said Moonbay. "Right now we should focus on getting Van some help," said Fiona. "Yeah lets get to it," said Moonbay.

"So how is he doctor," asked Fiona. "He seems to have some bad injuries but he should be fine. He won't be waking up anytime soon though, but he will eventually wake up," said the doctor. "That's good," said Fiona. "I noticed something though while I was doing some x-rays on him that you should know, if you and your friends will meet me in an hour so I can confirm what it is exactly I will tell you what it is but for now you should leave," said the doctor. Fiona was reluctant to leave but she did as she was told. "So what is it that I have found," the doctor asked himself. He looked over the x- rays and looked over his computer to find out what it was. "Huh, that's it and if I am right this is not good," said the doctor. He got up to go tell Fiona and the others when he heard the clicking of a gun. The doctor turned around to see who it was. "You," was all he could say before the gun was fired and the doctor fell to the ground.

Fiona was walking to Van's room because it had been an hour and she wanted to find out what was wrong with Van. She opened the door to Vans room and let out a scream when she saw the doctor lying on the floor almost lifeless but still alive. "Fiona what is wrong," asked Moonbay as she ran up with Thomas and Irvine following behind? They went in and they saw the doctor. "What the," was all Irvine could say. "Now we won't know what it was that he found," said Moonbay. "Why would someone come in here and shot the doctor," said Thomas. "I know," said Moonbay. Fiona rushed over to see if Van was ok and he was. "Van's ok," said Fiona. "The doctor needs some help," said Thomas.

About a week later Van had finally woken up. "Huh how did I get here," Van asked himself. "Last I remember I was being electrocuted by Eric and now I am here," said Van. He looked around and saw Fiona was right beside him sleeping. Van couldn't help but smile at seeing this. Fiona began to wake up. "Van you're awake," said Fiona as she gave him a hug. "Yeah I am," said Van. "The others will be glad to know that you are awake," said Fiona. "I bet they will," said Van.

After a few days of rest Van was up and around again and the doctor had finally regained consciousness. "Now we will find out what it was that doctor found inside of Van but we might want to find out who did that to him first," said Thomas. They walked up to the doctor. "Who did this to you," asked Irvine. The doctor was barely conscious so it made it hard for him to talk. "It was. it was. Van. Van Flyheight," said the doctor. "What!!!" said Thomas in shock? "He has a chip inside of him that is controlling him so he is not actually responsible or even know what had happened," said the doctor. "We have to go warn Fiona and Moonbay," said Irvine. They quickly rushed out of the room to find Fiona and Moonbay.

"Van are you ok," asked Fiona. "I just feel a bit dizzy right now," said Van. "Maybe you should go and rest Van," said Fiona. "I will be fine," said Van. "Please at least try," said Fiona in a worried tone. "Ok," said Van. They then started to walk back to Vans room. Along the way they were stopped by Irvine and Thomas. "Fiona get away from Van," said Thomas. "What is going on," asked Van? "Fiona remember that doctor that was shot," said Thomas. "Yeah, why," asked Fiona. "It was Van who shot him," said Irvine. "But Van was unconscious when it happened so how could he," said Fiona. "He was being controlled," said Thomas. Fiona was confused but before she could question Van about it he grabbed her. "Fiona," yelled Thomas. "Van what are you doing," asked Fiona. "I am going to take you to my master," said Van in an emotionless tone. "Van snap out of it," yelled Irvine. "It is no use he is under Eric's control again so he doesn't know what he is doing," said Thomas. Van began to back away using Fiona as a shield. "Please Van you have to stop this," said Fiona. Van didn't answer but put her in the liger and he got himself in and got away while Thomas and Irvine got in their dibison and lightning saix to follow.

After they were away from the base Van stopped. He turned the blade liger around to face Thomas and Irvine. A voice came from nowhere and spoke to Thomas and Irvine. "How do you like what I did to Van," came Eric's voice. "I am afraid that I cannot let you follow him to my base so he will take care of you before then," said Eric. Van then started to attack them. "What, we have to get away," said Thomas. "We can't he is moving to fast even for my lightning saix," said Irvine. "Yes I made some improvements to make it faster since I know that there is no way to save him," said Eric. "Why you," said Thomas. Van came up to them and extended his blades and sliced a leg of the lightning saix and a leg of the dibison making them fall unable to move. "Van stop this," yelled Fiona. Van didn't say anything. He just moved fast out in the direction that he was originally going.

"Ah Fiona it is so good to see you again," said Eric as Van and Fiona arrived. "Stop this," yelled Fiona. "No way it is too much fun," said Eric. "Van go and take her to her room," said Eric. Van obediently did as he was told.

As they walked Fiona tried to get Van to be his normal self. "Why can't you control yourself Van," asked Fiona. He didn't answer. Eric came up behind her and told her why. "I told you he is under my control so he won't be able to respond unless I tell him too," said Eric. "Why can't you just leave us alone," asked Fiona? "I have my reasons," said Eric. "But my main reason is you Fiona," he said. "Leave me alone," said Fiona. "Fine have it your way," said Eric. Eric left them as they kept walking. "Van please try and gain control, please I love you too much and I know you love me, but I don't like seeing you like this," said Fiona. "She never gives up," said Eric who was watching this on a video screen. "She will never reach him," he said. "Fi-o-na," came a response from Van. "What this can't be. Increase the power," Eric ordered they did as he told them and Van was under Eric's control again. "Nice try Fiona but I increased the power so this won't happen again," came Eric's voice over a loudspeaker. "If you had just fallen in love with me in the first place this might not have happened," said Eric. "I love Van not you," said Fiona. "Why do you like him I am better than him at everything," said Eric. "No he is better than you," said Fiona. "Like that is possible," said Eric. He stopped talking and just watched the two of them.

"With Van under his control we don't stand a chance," said Thomas. "I know but what are we going to get both of them back alive," asked Moonbay. "We will have to think of something," said Irvine. "That's easier said than done," said Thomas. "Yeah but we can at least try," said Irvine.

"You have no idea what you are dealing with we will be found and both me and Van will get out of here safely with Van back to normal," said Fiona who was tied up. "I know perfectly well what I am dealing with and that is a bunch of weaklings," said Eric. "They are the friends of both Van and me so we have faith in them," said Fiona. "You have been here for two weeks and it doesn't even appear like they are even trying," said Eric. "They will find us," said Fiona. "Believe what you like even that traitor doesn't know the location of this place so she is of no use to them," said Eric. "Just go away," said Fiona. "No I like it when I am near you so I am not going to leave," said Eric. Eric then moved towards Fiona. "What are you doing," asked a nervous Fiona? "Making you mine," he said as he forced a kiss on Fiona. Before he knew what was happening he was screaming in pain since Fiona bit his lower lip. "Why you," he yelled as he hit Fiona across the face hard. "Never do that to me again," he yelled. With that he left the room with only Van watching over Fiona. "How dare she do that to me," Eric told himself as he was walking away from the room. "Sir we have a problem," said a soldier. "What is it," asked Eric? "We have confirmation that three zoids have left the base you told us to watch over," said the soldier. "So they are just going to search it is not like they will find us," said Eric. "They are heading right in this direction," said the soldier. "What, this is not good maybe they found out the location of this base," said Eric. "What do you want us to do," asked the soldier. "I want you to wait at this base and if it turns out that they did find us then I want you to attack them with all of our forces," said Eric. "Yes sir," said the soldier as he left. "Even if they did find us it will be days before they get here so I will have sometime with Fiona even though I am angry with her for biting my lip," Eric said. "She may have Van's child but maybe I can raise it with Fiona by my side since at most it will be at least be a month or two till she gives birth. It will be the best way to make Van suffer even if he is my servant now," said Eric. He then laughed.
