Hey there! Sorry I took a while. I have been so busy. I've posted a new story called "moon light on silver wings." For those who have read it, I'm sorry I'm taking forever. I babysat a kid for 8 yesterday, that and I had a ton of school. About a million other things too. I have been so sick! Ack! I could not breathe without hurting my throat. Well I feel well enough to do school according to Dr. Mom. So I guess I'll get out of bed and get my fingers working again. REVIEWS!

Destiny7: Yup! Dilandau is dead. That whole thing with Hitomi was to give me a reason to kill him off. You all decided unanimously, that he should die and I wanted to anyway. LOL Xien is so funny. Once again, (For the millionth time.) YAY FRYING PANS! Oh! A fluffy review! How sweet! Please don't hate me till you've read the ending. I know you are going to. I do something Very mean. And because of nice people like you...I am considering changing it...But I can't. I have to finish. Thanx 4 Ur review.

Lyra Eyota: I think I actually did something wrong. I did want Van to seem upset, but not THAT upset. I guess I know what you mean. The reason why Van does that though is because of how much he cares. He was really scared that Hitomi was going to get hurt. Dilandau has already taken so much from him and hurt so many people that Van wanted to stop him. About Hitomi not saving herself, I actually should have done that. The thing is, Van always saves Hitomi, but can't save himself. Hitomi always saves Van, but can't save herself! I made Van that upset for a reason. I needed a good excuse to kill off dilly. I'm glad you like it though. I have a confession to make. In the latter parts....Van goes postal. I'm being serious. It's part of everything that happens. You all are going to hate me. I can tell. I actually kinda want to change it. But I have to finish what I started. *Sigh * Please don't hate me till you've read the ending. Thanx 4 Ur review. Btw, I guess in this chapter, I'm giving Hitomi a chance to do a little butt kicking. Her and Sarah fighting....Hmm...this might get....Interesting?

Avelyn Lauren: Ditto and here it is! Btw...I end up doing something very mean. Please don't hate me till you've read the ending. Thanx 4 Ur review.

Sqeekers: Yeah. Allen would have gone into that tantrum, so I couldn't do that much and besides, there are people who would strangle me for cutting it all off. I did that for my own personal safety! I am glad you agree w/ me. I know that they have Celena/ Dilandau pairing. I DO find creepy beyond belief. Lol yeah! Being in love w/ yourself! You think it's romantic? Awesome! I'm glad it actually did sound sweet. Well....The biggest point I had about Van going to Zaibach....was he went alone. One to One million, basically. Not very good odds. *Sigh * Please don't hate me till you've read the ending. I do something cruel near the end. Thanx 4 Ur review.

Animecrazed: Yes. Hitomi and dilandau is evil. I had to have an excuse to Kill Dilandau. Oh no! Does everyone think I over did it on Van's anger? I have a confession to make. In the latter parts....he goes postal. I'm being serious. It's part of everything that happens. You all are going to hate me. I can tell. I actually kinda want to change it. But I have to finish what I started. *Sigh * Please don't hate me till you've read the ending. Thanx 4 Ur review.

In conclusion, I want to apologize for an evil plot twist I have. You people are so nice. I don't want to do this and yet I can't mess up the story now. I'm too far. I do promise one thing though. You are all going to like the ending. I should not tell you that. But cannot be that cruel to such nice people. You'll see what I mean reeeeal soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I don't even own money. So don't sue please. I do have possession of a Yami and Fluffy though. Yami and Fluff: NOW, WAIT A MINUTE!

Sarah: This chapter is called: Deadly Visions. Me: /Starts whimpering/ I can feel stares. Very curious stares...that get angry. An angry mob of reviewers!

Recap: Van saw that above him, the Zaibach floating fortress. Van decided to end Zaibach today. He took Escaflowne in dragon mode and rode off to the fortress. Alone.

~@~@~@~@~

Van leaned against a cold stone wall. Shackles clanged through black halls. He glanced at his surroundings. He nearly laughed at himself. *Van, van, van. You are such a Baka. How did I end up here huh? How did the mighty king, me, end up here? * Van sighed and recounted his actions.

+ A little while before +

Van was on Escaflowne, piloting towards the Zaibach fortress. Sarah and Hitomi yelled at him to stop. Van didn't listen. Sarah cursed under her breath. She didn't do that a lot, but lately things were NOT going her way. Sarah grabbed Hitomi's arm and dragged her to Angel. That was Sarah's Guymelef.

"Come on Hitomi. We have to stop Van before he does something stupid." Sarah said in an angered voice. Van was like her little brother. Van did so many reckless things and it ticked Sarah off. But it was Van, after all.

"Sarah. A Guymelef can only fit one person!" Hitomi protested as Sarah kept dragging her

Sarah stopped. It was a very good point. That was a problem. Or was it? Sarah grinned.

"Then fly." Sarah said hopping into Angel.

Hitomi's eyes went wide. "What?!"

"Fly. You have wings Hitomi. You can fly." Sarah said again.

Hitomi stared at the ground. *She's right. I have wings. I can fly to the fortress. I have to For Van. *

Sarah had fixed Hitomi's shirt with holes on the shoulder blades, so that if she ever needed to spread her wings she could. Hitomi took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Snow White and fluffy wings burst from her back. She still gasped at the site of them. She did what Sarah taught and began to move her wings. She rose up ward and her and Sarah flew towards the Zaibach fortress. Leaving two very stunned people behind them.

~@~@~@~@~

+ Still awhile back +

Sarah and Hitomi moved towards the floating building. There was a small welcoming committee to meet them, thanks to Van, who had gotten the attention of just about everyone else. Sarah landed to meet Guymelefs and Hitomi found a welcome wagon of soldiers. Sarah danced and slashed. She knocked most of the Guymelefs on their feet and others she managed to slice right through. Hitomi however had about ten soldiers surrounding her.

*I was lucky to take up Karate and tae kwon do! * Hitomi thought and she went into a fighting stance. She began to sway back and forth. A guard charged her. She flipped back and landed a kick in his side. She pummeled his face with several small punches. In a daze the man fell back. The Soldiers there were amazed that the girl could fight back, but quickly came out of their shock. Another tried to grab Hitomi and succeeded in getting a swift kick to his shin. Two men charged her and Hitomi waited for just the right moment. When they almost had her, she jumped out of the way and they slammed into each other. Hitomi kicked another in his stomach. Finally the last soldier was defeated when she got a running start and landed a flying kick to his head.

"Boo ya!" Hitomi cried out of excitement and triumph. Sarah jumped out of angel and hid the Guymelef. The two girls stealthily crept to find the young king.

(Lyra Eyota! Are you Happy now? ^___^ That was for you! Yea haw! Hitomi 10 soldiers 0)

~@~@~@~@~

As they had been doing that, Van was trying to make his way through the mass of soldiers, about the odds of a million to one. It was not a very pretty sight. Van tried to break through, but more just kept coming. Van was getting tired and was dealing with his left side of soldiers when he forgot to protect himself and a commanding Guymelef tripped him. Needless to say, he lost. More needless stuff to say, the Zaibach people weren't happy with their new playmate. They dragged him to the dungeon and that's how Van got there.

*And here I am again. In chains. Swell, just swell! This bites. Sure. I'm fine! Don't worry about me, I'll just make friends with the rats. * Van sighed and looked around disgusted. He waited there. Waiting for them to do what ever they had planned for him.

~@~@~@~@~

Sarah and Hitomi continued moving. Sarah admired Van's work.

"Well, there is one thing you can say about Van. He is quick and he's darn persistent." Sarah remarked.

Hitomi and Sarah slid through cracks in wall and got through air ducts. Hitomi was able to find a shaft that led to the cells. Her and Sarah hurried along. Sarah remarked on Hitomi's ability to beat up the soldiers and asked when she had become a fighter. Hitomi explained that after she left Gaea, she took a course on self- defense. Sarah said Hitomi was pretty good and probably didn't need those sword lessons, Hitomi blushed.

"Come on Hitomi!" Sarah said hurriedly, they were nearly there!

"I'm trying!" Hitomi said a little irritated, she had been going as fast as she could, Sarah always seemed to move just a little faster than her.

"Sarah? How did you get so fast?" Hitomi said breathless.

"When you spend some of you time getting chased by dragons...you tent to learn to be quick, or you don't get the chance to." Sarah said facing forward.

"Very funny." Hitomi said, thinking Sarah was joking.

"I'm not kidding Hitomi."

Hitomi winced. That was one thing that she was definitely glad wasn't on earth.

#Minutes later #

"Almost there Hitomi." Sarah whispered to her companion. Hitomi nodded. They were crawling through the last shaft to reach Van. They could see him now.

*Van! * Hitomi thought. It was going to be okay! Or was it?

(You should know me better than that by now. I never make things easy. And this is near the end. I am not going to just hand them a happy ending. No sir. Well, actually, I WOULD, except Yami is writing this chapter and has currently tied me up, gagged me, and thrown me in the closet. There fore...until I get out...uh...she gets to wreak havoc. How ever, Fluff is currently calling a locksmith, and I will be back in a few chapters. Please excuse my absence. )

Hitomi had that feeling again. Something was coming. She could see it.

FLASH

Soldiers! Millions of soldiers are around some Guymelefs. Something is wrong. A malfunction! A thin strand of metal shoots by Surprising all the men. It blasts through the walls. One after another fell. It began to slow. But it charged on. As if seeking something. It met stone cold walls, in it's path was it's target, A faceless figure. As the claw came closer, the figure's face became clearer. Raven black hair of the midnight sky. A blood red shirt. Beige colored pants. Ruby red eyes. Hitomi shook with fear as she watched the metallic menace come closer to the boy. Icy cruel metal met with tanned skin. As red became a stream. Fear was written on his face, fear and Death.

FLASH

Back in the real world Hitomi began shake and then to fall.

"Hitomi!" Sarah yelled. "Hitomi?! What's wrong?"

"Van..." Hitomi managed before passing out.
