All was quiet in the room except for the constant beeping of the machines
showing that Van was still alive. Nobody really knew what to talk about.
Many questions were flying through their heads.
Thomas however was the first person to speak in a while. "Do you guys actually think that it was her? Fiona, I mean," said Thomas with a small sigh as he leaned back in the chair that he was sitting in.
"Only Van knows that for sure, and at the moment he isn't in any condition to say. I do think that it is though. They looked a lot alike. Van seemed pretty sure but he could be wrong," said Moonbay with a sigh just like Thomas.
"My question is what exactly happened out there to put Van in the state that he is currently in? If it was Fiona, then I know she wouldn't have done something like this. There was something very different about that woman though," said an exhausted Irvine while he leaned into his chair.
"You are right about that. The attitude appeared to be completely different. Not to mention the way she looked. I would remember that face anywhere. It was definitely Fiona's despite those changes," said Thomas with a sad face.
"We know that Thomas. We are going to get nowhere though unless we can talk to Van. He is out like a light though. We will be lucky if he wakes up anytime soon," said Irvine with a sigh.
"If it was Fiona, then why would she do something like this to Van. She loves him and would never hurt him this way. I really have no idea on what is going on," said Moonbay.
Throughout all of the conversation, no one noticed that someone else was listening into what they were saying. Van groaned slightly and it caught their attention to the fact that he was awake.
"He's awake? How the hell is that even possible while he is in the condition that he is currently?" asked Irvine with a confusion that everyone had on as they saw Van's eyes open up slightly.
"What happened to you Van? How did you get into the state that you are currently in?" asked a worried Moonbay. She saw in his eyes a hurt like no other. She didn't want to mention it yet but she knew that she had to ask sometime. "Was that really Fiona?" asked Moonbay in a quiet voice.
"It. it is her. I am positive of that," said Van in a weak voice. "Her mind has been messed with she doesn't remember anything. All that seems to be left is hatred towards us placed there by Zack. He has also made it so that she feels a lot of loyalty to him. It is almost like now she is actually in love with him rather than me," said Van sadly as he attempted to sit up. He cringed in pain as he clutched his ribs just trying to fully sit up for the moment.
"Don't move Van. You are injured and I am sure that you don't want it to get worse," said a worried Moonbay as she pushed him lightly down upon the bed. He wasn't able to put up much resistance because of his injuries.
"How can you be sure that it is even her Van? I admit they do look a little alike but that could mean anything. How can you be positive that it is actually Fiona?" asked Thomas staring at Van with as much attention as he could give.
"A bullet wound where she was shot a few weeks ago. It was there in the exact same place. That bastard even admitted it quietly to me when I confronted it about it. He didn't want her to know so he merely whispered it to me. I couldn't do anything to him because a second after that, she shot me," said Van in a slightly shaken voice. He just couldn't believe that all this happened to him. He first thought that she was dead but now she was alive and hated him. He just couldn't help as a small tear fell down his face.
"How did you get so badly injured?" Moonbay asked one of questions she originally asked again. She could see a pained look in his eye like he didn't want to talk about any of it at that moment. Moonbay couldn't really blame him either. All of this talking must be very hard on him after what had happened.
"It was right after I contacted you. The communication went off when I was hit in the side with a lot of force. I was taken by surprise so the blade liger was thrown around for a little bit before I was suddenly thrown out of it. At the time I wasn't too injured except for a wound I got when I found her originally. It was then that I saw Zack jump out of a zoid. I was a bit stunned by being thrown out of the blade liger that I couldn't react fast enough as he started to kick me around like I was nothing but a rag doll. By the time he was done, I was in the condition that I am in now. He quickly took Fiona away from em again. And then. and then," said Van. It pained him too much to be able to explain what happened next. It all was just too much for him to be able to take. It would probably be too much for anyone to be able to handle.
The pain was even clearer now then before. Moonbay figured that she would just get the answers that she was looking for after Van was feeling at least a little bit better. She knew that she could wait for that time to come. Until then she would just wait. Moonbay looked to Irvine for anything that they could do. Irvine just nodded his head towards the door. Moonbay understood easily. It was best to leave Van alone for right now. Allow him a little time to collect himself before they tried to get a little bit of information out of him. They all stood up and quiet walked out of the room for which Van was grateful for although he didn't say anything.
All was quiet for a few minutes until Van heard the door to the room open. He turned to look and he saw his daughter standing there looking at him with the sad face that she has had since Fiona's so called death. "Come here," said Van sitting up while cringing a little as he held out his arms for which his daughter jumped right into them.
No words were said. Van couldn't help but think thought. 'She is too young for these types of problems. She loves Fiona so greatly that it hurt when we all thought Fiona died. I wonder what she would be like if she knew that Fiona was still alive and the way that she is right now. It could hurt worse than when Fiona died,' thought Van sadly.
Kristi was very scared at that moment. She had lost her mother and when she saw that her father was hurt, it scared her that she might lose him too. She just held onto him tightly afraid of letting him go.
"Shhhhhh. It is ok. I will be fine. It was just a few scratches. So there is nothing to worry about now," said Van trying to get his daughter to stop crying. It didn't seem to be doing much good at the moment. She didn't seem to want to stop crying. Van just continued to hold her for a little while longer until she seemed to calm down a little bit. She still seemed to be shaking a little bit but Van was at least glad that she was a little calmer.
"You nearly left me like mommy," said Kristi through small sobs into his shoulder. She just clutched onto Van like if she let go that Van would just suddenly disappear.
"No of course not. I wouldn't just leave you like that. You are all I have left at the moment. I wouldn't just give that up," said Van a little weakly because of his injuries. He didn't stop trying to calm her down though.
The door opened a few minutes later and Moonbay came walking in. She gave a small smile as she watched Van trying to comfort his daughter. She saw how tired Van looked at that moment and as much as she hated to break it, she knew that Van had to get some rest. She quietly walked up to the two and shook Kristi a little bit. Kristi turned to look at her and Moonbay spoke quietly. "Come on. Why don't we let your father rest a little? He has been through a lot," said Moonbay not bringing up Fiona much to Van's relief.
Kristi looked up at her father and he gave her a slight nod in reply. She reluctantly got up and followed Moonbay out of the room while Van laid back down and closed his eyes in hopes of getting a little sleep.
*****
Zack walked into a room. He saw Fiona sitting at a table that wasn't far away and he smiled. "You got awfully careless Megan for you to have been kidnapped so easily," said Zack with a smirk on his face. He felt a little amused by the expression she gave because of his words.
"They took me by surprise. That is all that it was. It was Raven that helped him. Did you know that?" asked Fiona with a smirk on her face because of the knowledge that she was able to give to Zack.
"So Rave is back in the picture is her?" asked Zack with a highly amused expression plastered onto his face. "I didn't think that he would help Van out like that. I guess we will have to keep an eye out for him," said Zack with a smirk before he noticed a curious expression on Fiona's face. "Is there something that you are wondering about?" asked Zack in a serious voice.
"Who is this Fiona that Van kept talking about? I am very curious to know about her and why he seems to think that I am her somehow," said Fiona giving Zack her undivided attention.
"She was Van's old Fiancée. He failed to protect her and she was killed. He somehow thinks that I was the one that was the cause of it. He is bent on taking you from me because of it. So don't listen to him if he keeps going on like that. He will try anything to get what he wants. You should be sure to watch out for him unless I am with you," said Zack with a smirk on his face because of what he was saying to the real Fiona.
"You have nothing to worry about there. I am not going to fall for his lame tricks so easy. Plus, why would I go for him when I can have you?" asked Fiona with a smirk on her face.
"That is all hat I needed to hear in order to be satisfied. I am sure that you won't do something like that to me," said Zack as he walked over and kissed the controlled Fiona. He was just enjoying doing all of this far too much. Fiona was under his control and she hated Van. This was all too good to be true for him.
*****
Van found himself in a field that was full of flowers. In the middle of the field stood a lone figure looking at him. It was Fiona. Van was slightly startled to see her but he was happy that she was there looking like she normally did. "Fiona," said Van in a soft voice as he slowly approached her.
All she did was nod her head with a small smile on her face. "Hello Van," said Fiona as she took a step towards Van. She saw the happy look that was on his face and she frowned. "This isn't real Van. It is only a dream. I am sure that even you realize that. As good as it might be for you, it will all fade as soon as you wake up," said Fiona with the frown still present on her face.
"I don't care if this is just a dream. You are here right now. Let me just spend a little time with you while I still can," said Van as he embraced Fiona in a tight hug. "I hate this! I hate seeing you with that man. It tore me up inside to see you in his arms instead of my own," said Van as a tear rolled down his face. "Life just seems to continue to be too cruel to me. First it took both of my parents and then it took you away from me. When is it that I will ever be able to be happy?" asked Van still crying.
"It can only end if you are able to defeat Zack. That doesn't say that I will ever be the same ever again. For all we know, I could remain the way that I am now, a cold emotionless shell. Nothing like my old self," said Fiona in a calm voice as she held onto Van as well.
"Is there any possible way for me to be able to get you back?" asked Van in a sorrowful voice. If Fiona might know of a way, then that would be great. Yet, he knew that he should probably prepare himself for the worst.
"I am afraid that I have no idea if there is anything that you could do to help me," said Fiona as she watched Van hang his head in defeat. "Please don't give up though. If there is anyone that can find a way, I am sure that you are that person. I can only await until the day that we can finally be together in real life again. Please Van. I need your help. I know you can do it," said Fiona with a small smile before she suddenly disappeared.
"Fiona!" yelled Van reaching out hoping to find her but she was gone. "No, I lost her again. I have to get her back. I have to find a way even if it takes my life. I hate seeing her like that," yelled Van.
*****
"Fiona!" yelled Van as he shot up in bed. He instantly regretted it though as he fell back down while clutching his ribs. "Damn it! It was just a dream like she said. It felt so real though. I know that I could feel her, smell her. I think that maybe it was more than just a normal dream. If Fiona wants my help, then I will give it to her," said Van as he looked around the room. Van spotted something a merely smiled at it.
a few minutes passed and the door to Van's room swung open. Moonbay came walking into the room with a smile on her face. "God morning Van. I hope that you are feeling be." said Moonbay but she stopped when she saw that the room was completely empty. Van was nowhere in sight.
Taking a look around the room in confusion, Moonbay barely spotted a small white note. She walked over and picked up the note to read it. 'To whoever is reading this, I am going out to get her. I figured that I better go before anyone can try and stop me because of my injuries. I am sorry for doing this but I have this feeling that I can get Fiona back. Please look after my daughter for me. Just tell her that I will be fine and that I promise that I will be back with hopefully a nice surprise. Please don't come looking for me. Like I said, I am sorry for doing this but it is something that I must do by myself to get over the feeling of guilt that I have for allowing this to happen in the first place. I have no idea how long I will be gone. I will not come back without her though. You can be sure of that.'
Moonbay just stared at the note for a few seconds. She squeezed the note hard after that. "Damn you Va. What the hell do you think that you are doing? You will be of no help to her in the condition that you are currently in," muttered Moonbay as she stormed out of the room. She wasn't able to make it to the door before a small rumble shook the base. Moonbay ran to the window that they had and looked out only to see the blade liger running full speed across the sands away from the base. All she could seem to do is watch as it continued to run farther and farther away form the base.
*****
Van just sat in the cockpit of the blade liger as it ran through the sand. He was clutching his ribs and breathing a bit heavily. In his condition, it was hard for him to get around without anyone spotting him. That went double for his friends. He would never be able to look for Fiona if they continued to hold him back. He was a man determined to get the love of his life back and no one, not even his friends were going to stop him.
"Oh man. I just thought of something. I don't even know where to start looking besides for the place that I found her before. More than likely they aren't there anymore. Not even Zack is stupid enough to do something like that. Who knows though, maybe I will be able to find a clue to their location there. I just hope that I don't run into anyone because I don't think that I would be able to take any strain on myself at this moment," said Van as he leaned back and closed his eyes. 'I am coming Fiona. I just hope that I will be able to get through to you. I will do anything to get you back,' thought Van with a sad look on his face.
He knew that it would take a while to get there and without Zeke it would be hard to know if he was there but Van figured that he would at least take a short rest so that he was in better shape in order to fight if the need be.
"Will I even be able to fight though? I can barely move right now. How will I even be able to protect myself? I could barely protect Fiona before when I was in full health. Now look what happened to her. I need to become stronger in order to get her back. That is why I didn't bring Zeke along. I can't keep relying on him to get me out of every situation. Although, I could definitely use his company right now because I am so bored. That isn't the problem though. I can't continue on until I know that I did all that I could to get Fiona back. That won't happen until I have her back and as her original self. Not any sooner than that. This time I will protect her the way I was supposed to before," said Van with determination as the blade liger charged through the sands.
Thomas however was the first person to speak in a while. "Do you guys actually think that it was her? Fiona, I mean," said Thomas with a small sigh as he leaned back in the chair that he was sitting in.
"Only Van knows that for sure, and at the moment he isn't in any condition to say. I do think that it is though. They looked a lot alike. Van seemed pretty sure but he could be wrong," said Moonbay with a sigh just like Thomas.
