Chapter 6: Investigations

Fiona walks pass Irvine, giving out a very disturbing Aura.

Irvine continues his quest to the cafeteria, trying to shake off the aura he got from Fiona.

"Something didn't quite feel right with Fiona." Irvine says to himself now entering the cafeteria. "Maybe Moonbay isn't being Paranoid."

Hallway*

"Damn he has to be here." Fiona says to herself as she continues down the hall. While walking she can hear a very familiar voice in a room approaching.

"So he is." Fiona says approaching the room. She takes a peek around the corner and can see Thomas on the phone, and can hear him whining.

"Oh come on you just have to let do it." Thomas complains over the phone to his brother.

"No Thomas and that is final." Karl says hanging up the phone.

"Hello, hello, Damn. He always hangs up." Thomas curses putting the receiver down.

"As much as it's going to bother me to do this, I can't do this alone." Fiona says sighing and walking in the room.

"Hey Thomas." Fiona says with her smile. Thomas turns around and faces Fiona, with blood red cheeks.

"He...ll..o Fi...o..na.." Thomas stutters out.

"I need for you to do something for me." Fiona says walking in the room and up to Thomas.

"Sure anything for you Fiona." Thomas says smiling wildly.

"Oh really, ok now pay attention real closely." Fiona says now explaining what needs to be done on her behalf.

In the hangar*

Van has gone back to work on the liger, trying to take his mind off why Fiona asked about Thomas.

"God, why can't I take my mind off that?" Van asks himself while turning off the work panel. "Ok I'm going to just forget it."

Zeke walks in the hangar and looks up at the liger, up to Van. Van notices Zeke and looks down.

"What's up buddy?" Van asks looking down at the silver organoid.

Zeke makes a sound. Van puts the panel to one side and climbs out of the liger's cockpit and in front of Zeke.

"What's wrong Zeke?" Van asks trying to make out the expression on Zeke's metal face.

"Zeke, did you notice something wrong with Fiona too?" Van asks as Zeke tilts his head at Van.

"Come on boy, I won't get mad at you." Van says hoping for the answer. Zeke tilts his head upright and runs out of the hangar.

"Zeke wait." Van calls after the organoid. "Maybe he's trying to tell me something about Fiona. I surely hope so because I can't talk organoid."

Van walks out of the hangar now following Zeke.

The Colonel's Office*

Fiona is still talking to Thomas about what she has planned.

"So what do you need the weapon's folder for the blade liger for again?" Thomas asks nervously.

"Oh to go over it and to see if anything needs changing. That's why I need for you to go in the authorized personnel closet and get it for me." Fiona says staring Thomas in the face.

"But Fiona you are an authorized personnel." Thomas says as he keeps from trying to stutter.

"Yeah I know, but only you can get find it in all those files without a problem." Fiona states lowering her voice a bit. "I'll probably give up looking after a while. I get tired easy."

"I'll go look for you Fiona. I wouldn't want you to get tired." Thomas says smiling wildly.

"Thanks Thomas. You don't know how much this means to me." Fiona says sweetly making Thomas blush.

"I'll be right back." Thomas says now leaving the room. Now seeing Thomas leave, Fiona smiles evilly to herself.

"That was easier then I thought it would be."

Zeke and Van*

Zeke is still roaming the halls with Van following. While following Zeke, Van happens to see a room open and slows down from running behind Zeke to see who's in it. When he approaches the room, he takes a peek around the corner into the room to see who is in there. He spots Thomas and slowly walks in to see what Thomas has in his hands. Van gets a bit closer to Thomas and stands behind him.

"Whatcha looking at Thomas?" Van practically yells scaring the poor guy.

"Nothing." Thomas yells trying to prevent the folder from falling out of his hands.

"Yes you do, what that folder for?" Van asks looking over Thomas's shoulder and into the open folder. "That's the folder to the weapons on the liger. What do you want with that for?"

Thomas turns around to face Van putting the folder in front of him.

"Fiona wanted them. She said something about looking it over." Thomas says looking down, loosing eye contact with Van.

"Why would Fiona want this? She never asks for that before." Van asks with questions in his tone.

"I don't know." Thomas says unsure too.

Colonel's Office*

"I sent that dimwit Thomas to get the folder and you should have the information in no time." Fiona says into the button on her shirt.

Raven and Reese*

"Excellent. I'll be waiting." Reese says closing the transmission between them until next call.

"How much longer? I'm tired of waiting." Raven complains.

"Oh it shouldn't be too much longer." Reese says assuring Raven.

"Why do you need the information on the liger when you already turned Fiona against them?" Raven asks putting the ball and paddle down.

"You missed the whole point of this story Raven. You see not only did I turn Fiona against them, but since they trust the "Perfect little Zoidian" then I am using her to spy on them for me." Reese explains, hoping Raven is clear on it. "The more we know, the more we can use it against them."

"Oh I see. Well let me know when I can go after Van. I'm going to go lay down." Raven says leaving the room.

"This is no time to take a rest." What if I need you in the next minute?" Reese asks calling after Raven.

"It's called waking me up. I think you should try it." Raven calls back not turning back to stop.

Reese just sighs and turns back to the desk.

Guardian Force*

Irvine comes back with the food he went to go get and what Moonbay asked for.

"Here you go." Irvine says handing Moonbay her sandwich.

"Thanks." Moonbay says turning around and taking it.

"You know Moon, when Fiona passed me up in the hall today, I kinda felt this strange aura coming off her, like an evil essence." Irvine explains.

"I told you something is wrong, but I can't quite figure out what." Moonbay says putting her unopened sandwich on the deck.

"Don't worry, you'll find out. In the less violent way." Irvine says taking a bite into his ice cream cone.

"I sure hope you're right." Moonbay says. Van suddenly comes to the deck.

"Has Fiona asked for any information regarding any Zoids today from any of you?" Van asks looking between Moonbay and Irvine, who look at each other, puzzled at Van's question.

"Why would she do that?" Moonbay asks turning to Van.

"Good question Moonbay, very good question." Van wanders himself.

Why did she ask for the blade liger's information and where did Zeke go after sending Van on a wild goose chase? These questions and more will be answered soon next chapter, hopefully.

I hope you all enjoyed it. Took some time to write it though. Flamers are ignored as I always say and will be persecuted if a flame occurs. Flames are for cooking and this isn't a Barbecue.

For everyone else more soon.

Review please.
