Off in the distance Raven stood above a cliff watching in interest as Van
walked into the small gate that had come out of the ground. A smirk formed
over his face as he watched it all. "I wonder what he is up to," said Raven
with the smirk on his face. Her then turned around to head back to the
genobreaker and the awaiting Reese.
"What's going on Raven? Why is Van here of all places?" asked Reese with a confused look on her face. The two of them came to this deserted area to get away from everyone and they found Van.
"No idea. He appeared to be following someone though. Van isn't one for secrets, so I think that something might be going on," asked Raven with a smirk on his face as he waited for Reese to answer.
"You are probably right about all of this but something really doesn't feel right about the place that Van had just walked into. I can feel two different zoidian powers coming from inside the place. I really don't like the feel of those powers either," said Reese with a slightly nervous look on her face.
"Can you tell me who is in there? Maybe we can get an idea of what is going to happen," said Raven as he kept on eye on the place.
"As much as I hate to say this. I can feel the presence of Zack in that place," said Reese with anger growing in her voice. She could tell that Raven was angry as well by the growl that she was hearing coming from him. "The other one I can't quite place. It is very familiar but it is impossible for it to be there after what I heard happen," said Reese with confusion in her voice.
"This might turn ugly. Van is out for revenge. I am still trying to get a few of the damages that he did to the genobreaker repaired from the last time he was in this exact same state. Stay here, I am going in there. I have a score to settle with that guy as well so I might as well help Van out," said Raven with a grin on his face as he cracked his knuckles.
"Whatever. You had better not keep me waiting too long though. Just feeling that guys presence sends shivers down my spine," said Reese with an annoyed look on her face.
"Fine. Just as long as you wait here, I will be as fast as I can," said Raven as he took off in a run in the direction of the gate. 'Time to get that guy for ruining so many years of my life while they were trying to get Reese. He will pay,' thought Raven with a smirk.
*****
The place was very dark at that moment. There was still a small light though. It was a distance in front of Van and he had a feeling that that was where he had to go. He kept his father's knife out incase someone decided to try and jump him at any moment in that very dark place. Van's eyes kept darting around as if expecting any movement from all of the areas that surrounded him. Yet there wasn't any noise at all. The place seemed to be completely empty at that very moment. It seemed a bit strange for Van.
"What is he up to? After what he did, anyone would think that he would have the brains to set up a defense to protect him. That is what he usually does; he sits back and lets everyone else do the work for him. So why is it that he doesn't have anyone with him at this moment?" asked Van with confusion showing on his face. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, Van couldn't figure out how this guy thinks. You would expect him to do one thing yet he always ends up doing something else.
A slight laugh caught Van's ears causing a growl to come to Van's throat when he recognized it as Zack's. His features turned dark and a scowl came across his face. 'At least I know that he is here,' thought Van as he walked forward.
Van was now standing in front of a slightly cracked door. The light that he had been seeing had been coming from in there. Van got close to the door and looked in to see Zack standing in the empty room as if waiting for something. Van learned what he had been waiting for only a few seconds later.
"About time you get here Van Flyheight. What are you waiting for? Why don't you come in here so we can talk," said Zack as he broke out in his annoying form of laughter once again which drove Van a bit nuts at just hearing him doing that.
Van gripped his father's knife even tighter as he opened the door more and walked into the room. He was now face to face with the person that he wished more than anything to just drop dead.
Van's eyes had a darkness to them at that moment. It actually frightened Zack a little seeing them. He also knew that he was the cause of this. Just thinking about that made him laugh.
"Now really Van. Why such the dark face when I brought you here to talk for a little while?" asked Zack with another laugh. He was really enjoying watching Van suffer more and more. 'All this suffering is only the beginning for him. More will come soon enough,' thought Zack with a smirk.
"What do you mean you brought me here? I forced that assassin that you sent to bring me here," said Van in what came out as a growl. At that moment Van felt like lunging at that guy and strangling every last bit of air out of him but he knew that would be stupid especially since he knew that Zack was actually expecting that.
"Do you honestly think I would hire an assassin that weak to try and kill you. He was a decoy. I used him so that he would bring you to me and you fell for it," said Zack with a laugh.
'God this guy is annoying,' thought Van with a sigh. "You know, I figured that I might have been something like that. He seemed too pathetic to be an assassin. It suited me just fine. Right now I have no problems dying. That is why I had no fear in coming here. If it will allow me to be with Fiona then I will gladly do that," said Van as he gripped the knife tighter.
"You say you have no problems with dying but what about your daughter? Wouldn't she have a problem with it?" asked Zack with a smirk on his face. He knew that Van would take that part very seriously.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter," growled Van growing angrier by a second. "If you do then I will make sure that you go straight to hell. Then again, maybe I will just send you there anyways," yelled Van in pure fury.
"I have no interest in your daughter whatsoever. I only needed her for my little project but since that was a complete failure, I don't need her anymore. You know what. You really need to learn to control you anger a bit more. One day it is going to end up being the end of you. I really don't think that you really care about that though. You don't care what others will feel about it," said Zack with a laugh.
"Shut up! What do you know about anything like that? You don't care about anyone's feeling when you murder their friends, their family, or their loved ones, so you have no reason to even talk," yelled Van in his fury.
"That may be true Flyheight but what about your daughter and also your friends? I am sure that they would have a problem with it as well. Only thinking about yourself at time like this. Talk about being selfish," said Zack still smirking. He was definitely enjoying getting on Van's nerves.
"What about you? When you killed Fiona, all you wanted was to see me suffer. I would call that very selfish as well," growled Van as his anger started to get the better of him. He was barely holding himself back from attacking a foolish attack. He wouldn't mind dying as long as he took Zack with him. "Fiona can't rest in peace until you are dead," yelled Van in rage.
"Fiona, Fiona. Where have I heard that name before? Oh yes, that is right. She was the girl I once captured and later killed," said Zack acting a bit stupid since he had run into her several times. He was only doing this at that moment because he was only toying with Van before the real show started. "I know that I am very selfish also. I only look after myself, my needs, and my wants. Oh and talking about that. You won't get to fight with me unless you beat someone of my choosing," said Zack with a smirk.
"And why should I follow by your rules?" asked Van gripping the knife tighter. "What makes you think that I won't just decide to face you before that can even happen?" asked Van in a dangerously low voice.
"Because I am sure that you will find it very interesting who your opponent will be," said Zack as he snapped his fingers. A secret door suddenly opened and a figure stepped out of it. Zack just smirked at what was going to happen.

"God! Five hours straight of looking and you would think that even a very small clue would reveal itself," yelled Moonbay as she slammed her fist on the computer that she was using.
"Well I did find a very small thing but I don't think it will be of any help to us," said Irvine rubbing his forehead because Moonbay wouldn't stop complaining. He knew perfectly well that it was not wise to tick off Moonbay if it was a answer she didn't like.
"What is that? Things about his past, his current location, anything will be good with me as long as it is a little information," said Moonbay in a slightly excited voice. She was desperate to hear what it was. 'I will be glad if it is even a little background information to tell us why he does all of this, but for some reason I have this feeling that that is not what Irvine had found,' thought Moonbay.
"It turns out we aren't the only ones that are looking for him. The republic and the empire are both looking for him as well," said Irvine with a nervous laugh by the annoyed look that was now on Moonbay's face.
"It took you that long to find that out? That guy is the enemy to all of planet Zi! Of course they are both going to be out searching for him if he is a threat to all of society, as we know it. Plus that and they have been looking for him the last time he tried something! He obviously doesn't get out much if neither of them could find any sign of him back then," Moonbay yelled at Irvine in which he backed away.
"Ok, Ok. I guess that that wasn't exactly the best of information. It is something that they found though that caught my attention. Apparently lately there have been a number of break-ins at science labs all over the planet. This had also been going on since before he was originally caught, but only now has it been reported," said Irvine in confusion.
"How do we even know that it is him? It could have been anyone trying to get an easy buck by selling things that were just created," said Moonbay thinking that it really had no evidence to prove that it was him," said Moonbay after a moment of thought.
"Apparently he was careless or just a bit stupid while doing these because the security tapes have shown that the intruder was him. Before that time it was thought that it was just a common thief because no one even knew what he looked like until about the time that he was caught. When the owners of the places saw what he looked like they, they immediately recognized him from the tapes and called the militaries to look into it," said Irvine with interest.
"Since when has he been into petty theft? I thought he was more into destruction than anything else. So why break into places like that? Also Irvine this is pretty big news, not small news as you had put it," asked Moonbay with just as much confusion as Irvine at the moment.
"That isn't even the strange part. What makes it strange is that he didn't take anything that could threaten anyone. All of these science places are also medical stations. They are in charge of creating things to help people with their problems. All he took was simple drugs that are used in research. Also a few counter drugs to stop the effects of them," said Irvine in confusion.
"What could all of this even mean? Also what types of the effects do the drug even have?" asked Moonbay with just as much confusion in her voice. None of it made any sense to him.
"Let's see. There was a drug to induce a deep sleep, and other minor drugs that have no real effect by themselves. Maybe he just did it because he was having trouble sleeping since we were constantly out looking for him that he had to sleep in fear, but for some reason I don't think that that was what he had in mind for the purpose for doing this. He has to have some other reason for doing this. I just can't figure it out though," said Irvine rubbing his head where a headache was starting to form.
"Why use those of all things when there could have been many other things that could cause pain and suffering? It doesn't make any sense to me either. Maybe he took him to turn them into something dangerous for him to use. Then again, he might have tried to use it on us before, yet all he used was his zoids. Maybe we should just let the military handle this and we can just work on find him. it will be too confusing to keep thinking on something like this," said Moonbay with a shrug of her shoulders. She then turned back to the computer.
"I guess that that will be a good idea. I wonder how Van is doing with his search at this very moment. I hope that he is having a bit better of luck than we are," muttered Irvine as he too turned back to his screen and started to look for more information on Zack.
*****
The door had now completely opened up and out walked a woman. 'Wait a moment. That is the same woman that I saw earlier. What is she doing here?' Van asked himself as she approached Zack and stood right next to him.
"This will be your opponent Van. You beat her and you might be allowed to face me. There is far more to this though than you can even think. Also I recommend that you don't hold back just because she is a woman because if you do then she will kick you around like it is nothing," said Zack with a laugh as the woman smirked at Van.
"I am not going to fight a woman. It is just not right. You are a coward for hiding behind her like this. For once why don't you stand up and fight for yourself instead of through other?" yelled Van in frustration. It was even more frustrating that this woman still looked familiar to Van even though he could place where it was.
"Because this way it is far too much fun to watch instead of experiencing it first hand," said Zack with a smirk on his face. He also had one other reason for doing all of this but he knew Van would find out sooner or later.
"I bet it is that you are too weak and afraid to take me on yourself. That's it, isn't it?" asked Van now trying to provoke him enough to get him to fight instead. Van was hoping that it would work too.
"Sorry, but I am not the type to overreact to stuff like that. I find that it merely moves me a bit more in the direction of what I have plans for," said Zack with a smirk. "Now, my darling Megan. Why don't you go and show our guest why he shouldn't mess with me," said Zack to the woman.
"Yes master," said the woman Megan in a calm and collected voice. "I will do as you say," said the woman with a bow if her head before walking a standing a few feet away from Van, facing in his direction.
"I don't want to fight you. Why are you even following his orders? He will probably just get rid of you if you do one thing wrong," said Van hoping that Megan would listen and just back down.
"He wouldn't do that to me. He loves me so I know that he won't hurt me. You should just worry about yourself for right now instead of people whose lives don't concern you," said Megan in a voice that oddly enough sounded familiar to Van as well.
She just smirked at him as if she was waiting for him to make the first move. Van however didn't move and inch. He just stood there watching her. She then made the initial strike. She lunged at Van and Van moved out of the way at the last second hoping to not have to fight but just tire her out. After a few times something to Van that it wasn't going to work.
"Come on! Fight me or else you will die by my hands without even retaliating," yelled Megan as she ran at Van again preparing to hit him. She was about to hit him but Van grabbed her out of mid air and held her in place. She continued to struggle against his grasp but it was doing her no good.
"I have no grudge against you so I will not fight you. I don't see any reason as to why you want to fight me besides the fact that he wants you to. Do you plan to be his slave all of your life?" asked Van still holding her in mid air with little effort because she was relatively light in weight.
"I follow his orders and that is all that really matters to me. Nothing you say or do will stop me from doing that. He is all that I have, so I will do anything to help him," said Megan as she made a quick movement sending Van and herself falling to the ground.
However, something happen and a part of her shirt ripped slightly. Van looked up from the ground to see the laying on the ground a few feet glaring at him. What else he saw took him by surprise and scared him more than anything had ever done. There unveiled by the small tear in the top of her shirt was a still healing bullet wound. He could manage to say only one word, "Fiona."
"What's going on Raven? Why is Van here of all places?" asked Reese with a confused look on her face. The two of them came to this deserted area to get away from everyone and they found Van.
"No idea. He appeared to be following someone though. Van isn't one for secrets, so I think that something might be going on," asked Raven with a smirk on his face as he waited for Reese to answer.
