Fiona glared at Zack with eyes full of hatred. She was never really one to hate somebody but it felt much different this time. He had used her, manipulated her, and turned her against the one person that she loved more than anything. She had a pain in her heart that seemed to consume her but she was adamant about protecting Van at that moment now that she was clear in who she was and she had her true mind back.

"What are you doing Megan? Why are you protecting the one that had hurt you," said Zack hoping that his fears were not real and she just had a temporary moment of insanity. "Move away at once so I can finish him off and so he will never again stand in the way of the life we are going to make for each other," growled Zack lowering his sword slightly.

"I am not Megan. I am Fiona," growled out Fiona holding onto Van tightly with her back still turned to Zack. "How dare you make me do that to Van. How dare you make me hurt him like that," said Fiona watching the sword that Zack was holding onto drop to the ground and he backed away from her a few steps out of shock and a little fear. Then without warning he rushed out of the place as fast as he could before anything could happen to him.

"Is it really you Fiona? Are you really back again?" Van gasped out but despite that pain he help but let a smile. He saw her smile a little and he smiled back while clutching his side. His wounds weren't fatal but it sure hurt like hell. He would gladly go through it again if anything like this ever happened to Fiona again. 'Oh the sacrifices I would make for love,' Van told himself with a smile and a small laugh. "Help me up Fiona. Then lets get out of here," said Van before being helped up but he noticed something wrong with Fiona at that moment. She had a look of pain in her eyes that gave Van a bad feeling.

Zack ran as fast and as far as he could. He just couldn't believe what had just happened to him. 'My perfect plan, it all went to waste. How could she have broken free from my control? I just don't get it," said Zack collapsing onto his knees. His fist slammed hard onto the ground leaving a dent within it. "Why is it that she chose him over me. All that he is a pathetic human whose ancestors were just as annoying," growled Zack because he remembered the past well and people that were Van's ancestors. "Stupid humans. First they come in and take the land that was originally ours. First many of them act friendly with us, and then they act as if we didn't even exist anymore. That was the point of the deathsaurer. It was to give us power to take back our planet from the invaders. Unfortunately we gave it too much power and it turned on us as well," growled Zack remembering the dark day all too well.

"That is not completely true but some of them did much worse things," came an elderly female voice from behind Zack making him turn around to look at the talker but his eyes widened in recognition as to who it was. "They have done far worse to my family alone, or more precisely the Flyheight family. They may have always been on good terms with almost every zoidian but they pretty much turned my own family against me. At the time the zoidians were already starting to die out. Only pureblooded zoidians deserve to live. Many believed we had to breed with humans in order to continue living. I felt that it was wrong to our heritage but they turned the rest of my family into deciding that it would be best as well. The little brat of Flyheights is a perfect example of a disgrace to zoidians as well as its mother by loving a human," said the woman letting a growl escape from her voice.

"But isn't its mother..." said Zack knowing something about Fiona that he was sure that Fiona did know. He was unable to finish his sentence however before the woman cut him off.

"Its mother is no longer my concern. She completely forgot her heritage," said the woman with her hands balling into fists at her side. "I know of your little obsession with her however and I hope you also performed the task that needed to be done," said the woman facing Zack with cold blue eyes.

"Yes, with any luck she would be pregnant with my pureblooded child. Maybe it would redeem a bit of her zoidian status by having this done even if I know that she does seem to hate me," said a smirking Zack. There was far more too it however than even he realized.

"Don't worry about that. Maybe I will talk to her. By the time that I am done she will end up going straight into your arms," said the woman turning around and watching as the sun set far in the distance. This caused her as well as Zack to smirk.

Van sat very impatiently in a chair waiting for any news of Fiona. They had been back at the base for about a day and Van had already been fixed up. However, they insisted on taking Fiona and getting out all of the stuff that Zack placed in her to force her to do his bidding. They had been in their for hours and Van's patience was beginning to wear very thin. He had to know how Fiona was doing. Every second that he spent away from her was tearing him apart little by little. He never wanted to be separated from her again. He quickly stood up from his chair and started to pace back and forth across the room.

"You really have to calm down Van. Sit down and be patient. I am sure that they will come out at any minute and tell us how Fiona is doing," said Irvine getting annoyed with Van's pacing after a while of him doing it. He watched Van stop before sitting down once again but this time he was drumming his fingers on the armrest of the chair. "Stop it!" yelled Irvine as the last of his patience wore thin.

"I can't help it! What exactly would you do if the woman that you loved more than life itself were taken from you for so many that it really started to hurt you to be away from her? I have been separated from Fiona enough and I just want to get started with a new life and get over all of this," yelled Van after he stopped drumming on the chair. He however didn't know the unexpected twist that would end up occurring to him soon.

Irvine was stopped from answering Van's question when a door opened and a doctor came out of the room. "How did it go? Is Fiona alright?" Van started to bombard the poor man with so many more questions after that that it made the man's head spin.

"Please settle down Mr. Flyheight. Everything went just fine but there is something that I think I should talk to you about in private," said the man and when he received a nod from Van the two walked into a private room where none of the others could hear them even if they wanted to.

"Is everything alright doctor?" asked Van worried that something bad might have happened to Fiona that the doctor didn't want to say in front of the rest of his friends. Many different scenarios were going through Van head and each one was worse then the previous one.

"Calm down. Everything is just fine with Miss Fiona. However, we did notice something while we were doing our tests. We have confirmation of it but when we told her she became very distressed and then started to cry tears of misery but she wouldn't tell us why," said the doctor but upon looking at Van's confused face he knew that he had to just say it. "Mr. Flyheight, we have confirmed that Miss Fiona is pregnant once again. It is very faint meaning that it had to have happened within the past few days but with our science equipment we have been able to confirm it. Do you know of any reason for her reaction?" asked the doctor.

Van was shocked but he knew exactly why Fiona became so distressed by this news when many would be happy with it. She was unsure whose child it was exactly. "I-I am not sure," Van lied because he did not feel like talking about such a painful thought.

"If you know something Mr. Flyheight, then it is in your best interest to tell us what it is," said the doctor but gave up when Van didn't respond to him. "If you feel like talking then please come and see us. For now why don't you go and talk to her because it might cheer her up a little," said the doctor moving off to the side as Van walked towards the door with his head hung low.

Van walked up to the door to Fiona's room and just stood there. He then worked up his courage and walked into the room. The first thing that he saw was Fiona laying on her bed with her back turned towards him. He saw her shake with loud sobbing coming from her. His heart crushed in his chest seeing her in that state.

Upon hearing someone walk into the room. She could just tell that it was Van. She did not really want to see him of all people at that moment. "Don't come near me," said Fiona in such a low tone that it was hard for him to hear what she had said.

Van just ignored her statement and took a seat next to her bed. "I heard what happened Fiona. Please know that I don't blame you for what you had done Fiona. I am sure that if you were in your right mind then you would have stopped it," said Van as he reached a hand out to touch her shoulder but she just pulled away from him and sat up looking at him.

"I should have stopped him but I couldn't do anything. I just let him get away with doing that because I was too weak to stop him. Then I hurt you and I already could start to think for myself much more than before. The worst part about it was that a part of me actually wanted some of it at that time," said Fiona as she broke out in sobs yet again.

"That was merely the side of you that Zack created himself to achieve his sick and twisted ambitions. You, Fiona, are not responsible for anything that Zack made you do," said Van reaching out again but Fiona once again slapped his hand away with a hard hit with hers.

"I can't keep doing this to you Van! No matter what part of me it was that did this to you, it was still me that was doing it. How can you even stand to look at me after what I have done?" asked Fiona staring down at her hands. She gripped the blankets that were around her. She didn't receive a reply from Van and thought of the worst. "Maybe this was all just a mistake Van. Maybe we were never meant to be together which is why something is always coming between us. I love you with all my heart but everything that seems to happen only hurt you more and more. Maybe we should just end it right here to save us the pain that this is only causing us," suggested Fiona taking a hold of the ring that Van had given to her and pulled it off. It seemed as if her heart had left with it as well.

Van didn't know what to say. 'How could Fiona say something like that? Everything that has happened to us has only increased my love for her,' thought Van heartbroken when he saw Fiona take off her engagement ring. "No Fiona. I still want you, so please don't do this. I don't want a life that doesn't have you in it," said a heartbroken Van. He wanted more than anything to just stay by Fiona's side but she appeared like she didn't want to hear about it.

"I'm sorry, but this is for the best. Maybe now you can find someone else that you can actually be happy with that won't end up breaking you heart when something happens," said Fiona starting to stand up. She walked over to Van and before he could say anything she kissed him. When she pulled away she had a sad look on her face. "I'm sorry, but that is the last time that that will ever happen," said Fiona placing the ring on the table before she ran out of the room but she was stopped when she reached the door by Van.

"Even if it isn't mine Fiona, I would still love it because it is yours. I don't want to lose you," said Van but Fiona pulled out of his grasp and ran down the hall with tears in her eyes. "No, wait Fiona," Van yelled after her but it was far too late. Fiona was gone from his life once again. The only thing that hurt him most was the times that Fiona pushed him away. Now he had lost her again and this time it didn't sound like she was going to take him back.
