Chapter 11: Damaged

Do you hate it when people sneak up on you?

"Wish granted Fligheit." Thomas says from behind them, making them turn to him.

"Thomas, why are you doing this?" Fiona asks with fear in her voice.

"Why you ask my dear, because it's simple. Fligheit here is nothing but a wanna be Guardian force member that should be removed permanently." Thomas says taking a step towards them.

"Thomas you're only doing this because you can't compete with me." Van says still holding Fiona. "Just don't include Fiona. She has nothing to do with this."

"Who said she would be in it? It's you I'm after." Thomas says pulling out his knife and taking yet another inch towards them.

"Thomas step off I'm warning you." Van says now putting Fiona behind him.

"Or you'll do what?" Thomas taunts. "Report me to the mental institution?"

"Van what are we going to do?" Fiona asks clinging to him.

"I know what I'm going to do, but as for you, run and get Karl." Van says taking off his gloves. "This is about to get personal."

Fiona nods and runs the other direction away from them. Van narrows his eyes at Thomas, who grins at him.

"You're dumber then I fully thought you were." Thomas says exposing her blade to Van.

"I maybe dumb to you, but to the others, I'm best thing that happened to the guardian force." Van says watching Thomas's every move.

"Well after I get rid you, I'm taking your place, your life and Fiona." Thomas says positioning to pounce.

"My father dealt with losers like you and if he could take them down, you'll be no problem." Van says preparing for Thomas's jump.

"And where do you think that got him? Don't worry you'll be joining him pretty soon." Thomas says moving to a good angle to pounce Van.

"I would like to see you try." Van says still observing.

Thomas grins and jumps on Van, now tackling him to the ground.

The halls*

Fiona is running through the halls, looking for the first available guard or Major.

"I hope van can at least stall Thomas long enough for me to get a guard." Fiona says as she thinks about Van. "Hope he's alright."

First Aid*

Moonbay and Irvine separate finally, both breathing for air.

"Wow I didn't expect that." Moonbay says trying to regain her balance.

"I know you didn't. That's what I wanted to do before I knew you were upset at me because of Diana." Irvine says fixing his eye patch.

"I hope I'm not making you choose." Moonbay says now sounding guilty.

"No you're not." Irvine says looking at her now.

"Even though we said we never date friends, what do we call ourselves doing?" Moonbay asks now making Irvine think.

"I don't know. Just being friends?" Irvine asks curiously.

"Yeah maybe." Moonbay says walking up to Irvine slowly.

"So do you want to continue this friend?" Irvine asks.

"Well what do you think?" Moonbay says quietly slowing approaching the gap between them. She is an inch from closing that gap for when Fiona walks in panting.

"You guys have to help me." Fiona pants as they turn to her.

"What's wrong Fiona?" Moonbay asks rushing to her.

"Van and Thomas are in the other hall. Thomas is trying to kill Van." Fiona says now having to have caught her breath. "I have to find the major."

"Karl is seeing Diana out of the base, so at least someone will be alive just in case something happens." Irvine says also rushing to Fiona's aid. "What hall are they in?"

"The hall leading to the Security room." Fiona says turning to Irvine.

"Ok. Moonbay you stay here with Fiona and stay out of sight." Irvine says leaving the room.

Hall*

Van and Thomas are still fighting, wit Thomas having the upper hand.

"Just give up now Fligheit and save yourself the humiliation." Thomas says trying to break through Van's guard.

"I'm not giving up. You're going to pay for the last time you terrorized everyone here and you even hurt Fiona." Van says pushing him off.

"You pathetic attempt to stop me last time didn't work, so what makes you think this time you will actually succeed?" Thomas asks getting up.

"I see it worked." Van says observing his arm. He has a slight cut.

"Well this is the end for you Fligheit, but don't worry, I'll make sure to bring Fiona and the five kids to visit your grave every chance we get." Thomas says smiling wickedly.

"Stop dragging Fiona into this. This is our fight." Van says getting mad at His future assumptions.

"Fine, let's finish this so I can be part of the mourning crowd." Thomas says narrowing his eyes.

"Only thing about that will be you're going to be the one they mourn over." Van says, slightly massaging his shoulders a bit. "Now are we going to keep talking, or are we going to get this over with?"

Thomas smiles at his question.

Fist Aid*

Fiona is pacing, making Moonbay nervous.

"Fiona can you please stop pacing? You're making me nervous." Moonbay says trying not to get frustrated.

"I can't help it. Something could have happened to Van." Fiona says as she continues to pace.

"Nothing happened to Van. More then likely something happened to Thomas." Moonbay says trying to calm Fiona down.

"I don't know. Not from the way he was talking." Fiona says as she stops pacing. "That's it, I'm going out there."

"Fiona you heard Irvine, don't go any where." Moonbay says stopping her.

"I can't just wait around and think something may have happened to him." Fiona says now leaving the room.

"Fiona, come back here." Moonbay calls out to her. The Zoidian is already half way the hall.

Section B hall*

Irvine has just came from the A hall while looking for Van.

"I should have known better going in that hall." Irvine says now seeing the two up ahead. Thomas is slinging Van around like a rag doll.

"Get up Van. A real man doesn't stop in the middle of a fight." Thomas taunts now seeing Van's hardly moving body on the ground.

"I'm not giving up." Van says turning on his side.

Irvine, who can see Van is now immobile, runs up behind Thomas and jumps on him.

"Why don't you pick on someone else?" Irvine says as Thomas swings to hit him.

"Get off me." Thomas says now grabbing Irvine's arm and slinging him to the ground. Irvine lands right next to Van.

Fiona, who has just shown up, can see the two lying on the ground.

"Oh my god Van, Irvine." Fiona calls out, now catching Thomas's attention.

She looks at him as he turns away from them and now to her.

"What did you do to them?" Fiona asks watching Thomas walk from around their immobile bodies.

"I did nothing to them except put them where they should be, lying at my feet." Thomas says walking ever so slowly towards Fiona.

"Stay away from me you deranged Psycho." Fiona says sternly while backing up.

"And what if I don't, you're going to call on Van to help you?" Thomas says in a mocking tone.

Fiona continues to back away as Thomas gets closer and closer, inch by inch.
