A switch to remember By: DKS(Dark
knight sephiroth)
(A/N: Okay I know I kinda switched in between writing styles last chapter but that was for a reason this chapter I'll probably stick with one style.)
Last chapter we left off with Van and Reese sleeping together now its time to check on Raven and Fiona and see what They're up to.
Chapter2: Choice between traitor and a liar
Fiona Awoke in her bed and looked up to see Raven standing over her holding a bundle of clothes. Fiona "what're these?" Raven "Clothes what else?" Fiona: I know that but I mean where did they come from?" Raven: "I bought them for you" Fiona: "You?....you bought them? For me?" Raven: "Yea what of it? I do have money just I don't carry it on me like I said all my money is in the bank." Fiona: "Why you! You Lied to me!" Raven laughed at her out burst "So? I didn't trust you then you were still the enemy in my mind but seeing as how you went an entire day without trying to kill me I guess I can trust you a bit." Fiona took the clothes and looked them over. Fiona: "why are they all black or grey? Where are all the colors?" Raven: "I don't like bright colors matter of fact the clothes your wearing now disgust me so if you don't mind change into some of these is your going to come along with me I WILL NOT have a someone with me who dresses like a wannabe Barbie doll!" Fiona took offense to that comment. Fiona: "SO YOU'D RATHER HAVE SOMEONE WHO DRESSES LIKE A SLUT?!" In his mind Raven was thinking "Hell yea" but outwardly all he said was "I don't care how you put them together just you won't be walking around with me standing out like a creampuff!" Fiona: "Alright Fine I'll wear the stupid clothes but get out of my room! I'm not hanging in front of you!" She said pushing Raven out the door and locking it behind him. She was forceful Raven liked that in a girl he couldn't stand a weak woman Reese wasn't weak but she had a weakness that was too easy to find. Fiona on the other hand was one tough cookie when she wanted to be.
A few minutes later she came out dressed in a black sleeveless top and wearing a Black miniskirt and her hair was down. "WOW" Raven thought. Raven: "Hey you don't look half bad once your out of those girly girl clothes." Fiona: "Oh so you like the "Bad" Girls huh raven?" Raven didn't say anything but just walked off. He was amazed at how she could beat him like that in a argument.
Fiona thinking she'd hurt his feelings or something: "Aww Raven I didn't mean that I'm sorry" she said hugging him to apologize. He just turned around in her grasp and kissed her he didn't know why but it seemed right at the moment and she kinda let go and moved back in shock
Raven: "Er...sorry I...."
SMACK! He was slapped hard in the face
Fiona: "Don't you EVER do that again!"
Raven: "I said I was sorry...I just I dunno.."
Fiona just walked off to go think and left him standing there
Raven: "God she's hot dressed like that...her attitude everything...its perfect.." he thought "Hm maybe I shouldn't have bought her the clothes I mean no point getting attached since eventually she's just going to go back to an anyway." He thought.
Eventually She came back after having thought for an hour Fiona: "Raven Take me to van." Raven: "To Van? But I don't know where he is!" Fiona: "But I do I can show you how to get there he intends on being there the rest of the week he's meeting some old friends. Raven: "Fine"
They got their stuff together and got in the GenoBreaker and headed for the town where van was supposed to be it took most of the day but they got there around 6 o'clock in the afterooon. Raven: "I'll just wait here you go ahead and get them."
Fiona: "No your coming and that's final now come on" she said dragging him along by his collar
Van, Reese Irvine, and Moon bay had spotted the Genobreaker and were already on their way to greet Fiona Fiona: "Van!" she hugged him tightly glad to see him.
Van: "Whoa! Great to see you too Fiona you look great!."
Fiona: "Really? Thanks raven bought these for me..."
Van: "Did he now? Well its good to know he's taking real good care of you."
Fiona: "Van...I'm ready to come back now."
Van: "Umm well you see Fiona there's something you need to know first..." Fiona: "Huh? What's that?"
Van: "Well....Reese and I are kinda..."
Reese: "Oh stop being a wimp and say it already."
Van: "Easy for you to say you're not the one who's going to be hated because you already are."
Reese: "Fine I'll tell her then."
Fiona: "Tell me what?"
Reese: "Fiona Van and I are in love...we admitted it to each other yesterday."
Fiona was shattered.
Fiona: "What?....t..t.h....this can't be happening...you kidding right? Tell me it's a joke! Or I'm Dreaming! You can't be serious!"
Van: "Fiona...I'm sorry...but I just can't help the way I feel"
Fiona now almost in tears: "You idiot I loved you van! I wanted to be with you! But you chose her! And you knew I hated her! And to make it worse you flirted with me just now before you told me! You're a Traitor!"
Those last words hurt van more than she'd ever know but Reese could see it.
Reese: "Fiona calm down please..."
Fiona: "Calm down?! Calm Down?!?! I HATE YOU BOTH OF YOU!"
Fiona: "I have a choice between a traitor and a liar....hmph some choice.."
Raven was surprised by Fionas anger and the emotions she was showing and that she'd actually used the word hate in a sentence. On top of that Van and reese going out? Man it was all so much to take in at once he could understand Fionas pain. And he walked up behind her and put his arms around her
Raven: "Fiona Let's go let's get away from here I'll take you far away and you'll never have to see him again.
Fiona crying freely now: "No! I want....I want....Raven I want you to beat him! Van! Raven and I challenge you and Reese to a Zoid battle! We'll fight 20 miles east of here in 3 days!"
Everyone was shocked by this it seemed everything was just one surprise after another now.
Van: "Fiona you don't mean that do you? You can't...you don't even have a Zoid much less know how to pilot one."
Raven: "oh she has a zoid she doesn't know she does yet...I bought her one"
Van: "YOU WHAT?!"
Reese: "Oh I get it Raven you knew van would win my heart so you tried to Buy hers is that it?"
Raven: "NO! Its not like that its just...I"
Fiona: "Raven you don't have to explain anything to THEM...those evil people need no explanations Lets go I'm tired of seeing their faces..."
Raven: "Okay...Remember Van 3 days from now! We'll be back to fight you! And if you don't show up we'll destroy every town village city on the continent till you Decide to fight!"
Raven took Fiona back to the Genobreaker and they flew off
Raven thinking: "How could he? How could he hurt her like that? Even I wouldn't have done something like that knowingly"
Raven: "He'll pay...oh yes he'll pay there will be hell to pay for hurting MY Fiona." He thought now thinking of Fiona as his since she had chosen to come with him. And he would protect her and after he beat an he' be the hero he was meant to be he'd save her from her pain and then go on to fulfill his dream of saving the world from the evil of zoids. He'd destroy them all of them one by one if he had to until his was the only one left and then he'd destroy that too. And zoids would cease to exist. That was his dream. Until now he'd been the bad guy for it and the one thing I his way had been Van but now Van was the one who was wrong Van was the bad guy and Raven would win because he had Fiona on his Side he was sure of it.
Fiona could tell Raven was angry she didn't think it was directly beause of her at the time she just figured he was angry because can hooked up with Reese not because Van had hurt her.
When they got back to the city it was midnight but neither of them cared Fiona saw the zoid raven had bought for her and stared in awe... it was a Black Blade liger.
Fiona jumping onto raven and hugging him: "OH RAVEN! Its PERFECT! It'll hurt him that much more if I beat him with this!."
Raven smiling: "I know that's why I bought it."
Then their long training sessions began outside the city limits he taught Fiona all he knew about fighting in a Zoid and she learned quickly almost knowing as he said the words.
Meanwhile back at the town where Van and the others are.
Irvine: "Man van what're you and Reese gonna do?
Reese: "we're going to fight what else can we do?"
Moon bay: "But you can't! this is Fiona we're talking about here! Van you can't let it happen!"
Van: "I'm sorry moon bay but Reese is right we have no choice if we don't fight you heard what Raven said innocent people will die because of us and In the state of mind she's in I don't doubt Fiona would do it.
Moon bay: "so that's it then? Your just going fight her? And what then? What if you win? Will you just fight again and again? Until she wins and kills you?"
Van "I don't know...but for now it's all we can do."
That night Van sat up and because he was up Reese was up she felt responsible for the whole thing happening she could've prevented all of it just by simple saying no to the idea of swapping off or if she never went along with the idea of pretending to be his girlfriend or if she simply had stopped things before they kissed...she had so many opportunities and she took none of them because she wanted it to happen not like this But she got what she wanted now she had to figure out a way to keep it. Van on the other hand was in his head blaming himself for all this he knew he had just as many chances to prevent this as Reese did if not more and now he began to wonder why DID he kiss her that first time? Had he really wanted to? Had she so easily replaced Fiona in his heart? 'No...she couldn't have No one could but instead she made her own place that was bigger.' He thought. The two of them sat there next to each other in complete silence for a long time before finally one of them spoke
Reese: "Van...this is my fault I'm so sorry...if I'd known all this would have happen I'd...."
Van cutting her off: "No Reese don't blame yourself how could you have known Fiona would react like that? I didn't even know and besides I had Just as many chances to prevent it as you did so we're equally to blame."
That released some of the burden from both of them knowing they were sharing the guilt but still they both felt horrible. Reese didn't want to repeat the mistakes she'd made in the past and lose another person she cared about.
Reese: "Van when the time comes I'll be fighting right beside you. I won't let them beat you."
Van: "I know Reese...But then no matter what happens we lose. I certainly can't kill Fiona I couldn't think of it her dieing is just beyond reasoning to me but if we lose we'll be the ones that die and if we win they'll just come back again and again till they do win."
Reese: "If we go we go together and enjoy whatever time we get. And if we win then just we'll keep on beatin em. Just like you used to do against Raven."
Van sighing: "maybe we should practice or something I'm not used to fighting with a partner and I've never had a Genosaurer on my side I'd like to find out what it can really do without being on the receiving end of the fire for once." He chuckled
Reese: "Heh...I guess we should not like there's anything else to do and it'll increase our odds of wining."
So they headed out to the desert in their Zoids.
Van: "Hey Reese how bout we switch Zoids for a bit? If I pilot the Genosaurer its easier for me to get a feel for what it can do and if you use the liger you'll get a feel for how fast it is and what it can do and then together we can make up some strategies."
Reese: "Sounds like a good idea Van let's do it"
The both hopped out of their Zoids and headed to the others Zoid once van was in the Genosaurer he was amazed Reeses' Genosaurer had a feel of Lightness it was pretty quick compared to the one raved had had. He maneuvered a bit and tried some basic attacks using the tail and claws Van: "Hey this things pretty fast"
Reese: "Yea I fine tuned it myself."
Van: "The only problem with it is its lacking any form of effective weaponry esides the particle cannon but that can be fixed."
Reese: "Be carefull if you try and use the particle cannon Van it's more powerful than you realize and has the longest range out of almost any weapon a zoid can have."
Van: "I see does it charge quick?"
Reese: "Well by default no but mine is fine tuned so it does it only take about 2.5 seconds to charge the cannon completely."
Van whistled
Van: "That's pretty fast. Hey why don't you try the liger out a bit?"
Reese: "Okay..."
She had no idea what to do with the liger she had become so accustomed to her Genosaurer but once she got moving she it came naturally to her
Reese: "Man this things FAST!"
She tried the strike laser claw on the side of a cliff and cut completely through leaving long slash marks on it
Reese: "Wow good thing you never hit me completely with that move...."
After that she let the blades out and got a feel for just how long they were she was memorizing as much a possible about the liger and it capabilities. While she was toying around a new attack came up.
Reese: "Huh what's this?"
Van: "what is it reese?"
Reese: "The words "Burning Rush" are flashing on the screen."
Van: "Huh? I've never seen that one before try it"
Reese: "Alright."
She activated the move and the shield came up around the liger and then a the shield was covered by another layer of energy that glowed bright red and almost looked like a flame.
Reese: "Burning Rush!"
The liger charged forward and ran straight through the cliff wall cracked it in two.
Van: "WOW....you must be pretty strong for liger to get an attack like that from you."
Reese looking around at the damage she just did: "uh....yea I guess so.."
Reese: "So Van got any battle plans yet?"
Van: "Actually yes I do have one. If while we're fighting you lock on to me with the harged particle cannon and I Move at the last moment they'll never see the attack coming"
Reese: "Ah that's a good one. With your ligers speed it should be easy for you to pull that off.with me telling you when I'm going to fire. The only problem with that plan is there will be two opponents One of them will see it and warn the other or prevent it entirely."
Van: "Hmm your right...what if we do the same thing but instead you sweep with the particle cannon and I jump to avoid it?"
Reese: "Same thing there except theres a slight chance one of them most likely Fiona will be hit. Raven and his GenoBreaker can just fly over it and we don't even know what kind of Zoid Fiona will have."
Van: "Your right...that makes it kinda hard to plan doesn't it? And Raven's genobreaker could easily beat the genosaurer I mean he can fire from the air and had a shield and all kinda of stuff."
Reese: "Things aren't looking to good are they Van?"
Van: "Fraid not...if only the Genosaurer were either more agile or had more weapons to rely on besides that cannon."
Reese: "Well what do you suggest we add Van? We should be able to fit a few extra weapons onto the Genosaurer."
Van: "Well for one I want to put missiles on the back of it and some small machine guns on each arm oh and add a spiked end to the tail that should increase it fighting ability a bit.."
Reese: "That's a bit to add...but I think we can manage it. Doesn't moon bay have some weapons stocked in her Gyzack?"
Van: "Yea you know it'd be great if your genosaures could become a genobreaker..."
Suddenly Reese had an idea
Reese: "Hmm maybe it still can..though it won't be the same as Ravens I guarantee you that. SPECULAR!"
Suddenly Specular appeared and popped into the genosaurer van hopped out and let her do her thing. The Genosaurer was covered in a shell just as Van liger had been and Ravens Genosaurer had.
Reese: "Now we just have to wait. Oh and lets get those weapons so we can custimize our Zoids a bit before the battle It should be done before the battle starts. Seeing as we have a couple days"
Van hopped in the back of liger
Van: "Well lets get going."
They took off with reese piloting liger and stopped by moonbays gyzack picked up some weapons and headed back to the site and dropped them off they were prepared now they just had to hope The Genosaurer would finish evolving before the day of the battle came.
The next day was pretty uneventful all they did was sit and stare at the cocoon and wait. The day after that Raven and Fiona showed up an entire day early...
They came into the city their zoids creating a rumbling throughout the entire town people we're running and hiding though some unfortunate ones were stepped on after a certain point Fiona broke off and headed for the battle field and raven kept going. Van and Reese rushed outside followed by moon bay and Irvine to see what was going on.
Van: "Oh no they're here!"
Moonbay: "Already? I thought you guys still had an extra day?"
Reese: "We did...but apparently they've changed their minds about that."
The Genobreaker stopped directly in front of them
Raven: "VAN! REESE! The time has come! Fiona is ready and she wishes to fight you NOW."
Van: "No can do Raven We've still got one day remember? We're not ready yet"
Raven: "Too bad! The same rules apply! Fight or we'll destroy this city! And then go on to the next city and continue until you fight!"
Van got quiet for a moment and looked at reese who just nodded
Van: "Alright! We'll fight!"
Raven: "Good now follow me."
Van and Reese got in the liger and headed toward the battlefield following behind Raven Raven wondered why they were both only in the liger and not using the Genosaurer as well but oh well he didn't care it made things easier. Once they'd reached the battle field Van saw the black liger and wondered about it "could that be Fiona?" he thought Raven landed the Genobreaker right next to the black liger and annoced
Raven: "I give Lady Fiona and her black Sabre Liger!"
Van: "Sabre liger? What's that?"
Reese: "I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough..."
Van: "Reese you should get out of here go to your Genosaurer see if it's hatched yet."
Reese knew he was just trying to get her to go so she wouldn't get hurt and normally she would have argued but seeing what was about to happen she went ahead and got out of the liger besides if it had hatched they'd have a MAJOR advantage because raven wouldn't be expecting that. And no one would know what it could do. So there would be no real defending against it.
The Desert wind blew as Reese went over a hill and slid down the cliffwall landing next to the chrysalis
Reese: "Nope not hatched just as I thought..."
She slowly climbed back up just in time to see the start of the battle. The GenoBreaker and the Saber liger headed for van's blade liger at a incredible speed the Saber liger got to him first and rammed him then the genobreaker Lifted him into the air and slamed him back down. Van Was amazed by the speed at wich they were attacking Raven trained Fiona well in only a day's time he got the liger on its feet just in time to dodge the saber liger s charge this time the Geno breaker fire a particle cannon and the ligers shield only just barely got up in time. Reese was standing on the sidelines unable to do anything but hope and pray. She needed to get in there she had to help or van would die and it would happen right in front of her while she watched unable to do anything...again..."NO" she thought "I won't have it happen again!" she slid back down to the chrysalis and beg and pleaded with Specular to hurry And informed her of what was going on the chrysalis seemed to change a bit but not much and reese sighed almost giving up hope she heard another clash and then Raven yelling she assued that meant Van had hit Fiona Then she heard a lound Bang and the blade liger went flying overhead across the gap.
Reese: "Yep he hit Fiona.."
She saw him fly back across and then hear Fiona yell and then he went flying across that gap again he went back and then was thrown again it seemed like everytime he got a hit they fought 2 times better than they had before. Reese was losing hope fast ad staring at the chrysalis
Reese: "Please...Please..PLEASE hatch I have to help Him! I must! This is all MY Fault! And I have to make it right! I have to save him...I love him..."
As she said those last words the chrysalis shined and cracked and then shattered and a new Zoid was sanding before her it had two huge claws and looked like the geno breaker except for the claws and it was blue also it had an extra booster.and suddenly Reeses' eyes lit up and hope came flooding into her she ran to it and hopped in started it up and rushed to the battle field hovering above them she announced.
Reese: "OKAY! NOW YOU MEET THE GENO CRUSHER!"

Last chapter we left off with Van and Reese sleeping together now its time to check on Raven and Fiona and see what They're up to.
Chapter2: Choice between traitor and a liar

Reese: "Van when the time comes I'll be fighting right beside you. I won't let them beat you."
Van: "I know Reese...But then no matter what happens we lose. I certainly can't kill Fiona I couldn't think of it her dieing is just beyond reasoning to me but if we lose we'll be the ones that die and if we win they'll just come back again and again till they do win."
Reese: "If we go we go together and enjoy whatever time we get. And if we win then just we'll keep on beatin em. Just like you used to do against Raven."
Van sighing: "maybe we should practice or something I'm not used to fighting with a partner and I've never had a Genosaurer on my side I'd like to find out what it can really do without being on the receiving end of the fire for once." He chuckled
Reese: "Heh...I guess we should not like there's anything else to do and it'll increase our odds of wining."
So they headed out to the desert in their Zoids.
Van: "Hey Reese how bout we switch Zoids for a bit? If I pilot the Genosaurer its easier for me to get a feel for what it can do and if you use the liger you'll get a feel for how fast it is and what it can do and then together we can make up some strategies."
Reese: "Sounds like a good idea Van let's do it"
The both hopped out of their Zoids and headed to the others Zoid once van was in the Genosaurer he was amazed Reeses' Genosaurer had a feel of Lightness it was pretty quick compared to the one raved had had. He maneuvered a bit and tried some basic attacks using the tail and claws Van: "Hey this things pretty fast"
Reese: "Yea I fine tuned it myself."
Van: "The only problem with it is its lacking any form of effective weaponry esides the particle cannon but that can be fixed."
Reese: "Be carefull if you try and use the particle cannon Van it's more powerful than you realize and has the longest range out of almost any weapon a zoid can have."
Van: "I see does it charge quick?"
Reese: "Well by default no but mine is fine tuned so it does it only take about 2.5 seconds to charge the cannon completely."
Van whistled
Van: "That's pretty fast. Hey why don't you try the liger out a bit?"
Reese: "Okay..."
She had no idea what to do with the liger she had become so accustomed to her Genosaurer but once she got moving she it came naturally to her
Reese: "Man this things FAST!"
She tried the strike laser claw on the side of a cliff and cut completely through leaving long slash marks on it
Reese: "Wow good thing you never hit me completely with that move...."
After that she let the blades out and got a feel for just how long they were she was memorizing as much a possible about the liger and it capabilities. While she was toying around a new attack came up.
Reese: "Huh what's this?"
Van: "what is it reese?"
Reese: "The words "Burning Rush" are flashing on the screen."
Van: "Huh? I've never seen that one before try it"
Reese: "Alright."
She activated the move and the shield came up around the liger and then a the shield was covered by another layer of energy that glowed bright red and almost looked like a flame.
Reese: "Burning Rush!"
The liger charged forward and ran straight through the cliff wall cracked it in two.
Van: "WOW....you must be pretty strong for liger to get an attack like that from you."
Reese looking around at the damage she just did: "uh....yea I guess so.."
Reese: "So Van got any battle plans yet?"
Van: "Actually yes I do have one. If while we're fighting you lock on to me with the harged particle cannon and I Move at the last moment they'll never see the attack coming"
Reese: "Ah that's a good one. With your ligers speed it should be easy for you to pull that off.with me telling you when I'm going to fire. The only problem with that plan is there will be two opponents One of them will see it and warn the other or prevent it entirely."
Van: "Hmm your right...what if we do the same thing but instead you sweep with the particle cannon and I jump to avoid it?"
Reese: "Same thing there except theres a slight chance one of them most likely Fiona will be hit. Raven and his GenoBreaker can just fly over it and we don't even know what kind of Zoid Fiona will have."
Van: "Your right...that makes it kinda hard to plan doesn't it? And Raven's genobreaker could easily beat the genosaurer I mean he can fire from the air and had a shield and all kinda of stuff."
Reese: "Things aren't looking to good are they Van?"
Van: "Fraid not...if only the Genosaurer were either more agile or had more weapons to rely on besides that cannon."
Reese: "Well what do you suggest we add Van? We should be able to fit a few extra weapons onto the Genosaurer."
Van: "Well for one I want to put missiles on the back of it and some small machine guns on each arm oh and add a spiked end to the tail that should increase it fighting ability a bit.."
Reese: "That's a bit to add...but I think we can manage it. Doesn't moon bay have some weapons stocked in her Gyzack?"
Van: "Yea you know it'd be great if your genosaures could become a genobreaker..."
Suddenly Reese had an idea
Reese: "Hmm maybe it still can..though it won't be the same as Ravens I guarantee you that. SPECULAR!"
Suddenly Specular appeared and popped into the genosaurer van hopped out and let her do her thing. The Genosaurer was covered in a shell just as Van liger had been and Ravens Genosaurer had.
Reese: "Now we just have to wait. Oh and lets get those weapons so we can custimize our Zoids a bit before the battle It should be done before the battle starts. Seeing as we have a couple days"
Van hopped in the back of liger
Van: "Well lets get going."
They took off with reese piloting liger and stopped by moonbays gyzack picked up some weapons and headed back to the site and dropped them off they were prepared now they just had to hope The Genosaurer would finish evolving before the day of the battle came.
The next day was pretty uneventful all they did was sit and stare at the cocoon and wait. The day after that Raven and Fiona showed up an entire day early...
They came into the city their zoids creating a rumbling throughout the entire town people we're running and hiding though some unfortunate ones were stepped on after a certain point Fiona broke off and headed for the battle field and raven kept going. Van and Reese rushed outside followed by moon bay and Irvine to see what was going on.
Van: "Oh no they're here!"
Moonbay: "Already? I thought you guys still had an extra day?"
Reese: "We did...but apparently they've changed their minds about that."
The Genobreaker stopped directly in front of them
Raven: "VAN! REESE! The time has come! Fiona is ready and she wishes to fight you NOW."
Van: "No can do Raven We've still got one day remember? We're not ready yet"
Raven: "Too bad! The same rules apply! Fight or we'll destroy this city! And then go on to the next city and continue until you fight!"
Van got quiet for a moment and looked at reese who just nodded
Van: "Alright! We'll fight!"
Raven: "Good now follow me."
Van and Reese got in the liger and headed toward the battlefield following behind Raven Raven wondered why they were both only in the liger and not using the Genosaurer as well but oh well he didn't care it made things easier. Once they'd reached the battle field Van saw the black liger and wondered about it "could that be Fiona?" he thought Raven landed the Genobreaker right next to the black liger and annoced
Raven: "I give Lady Fiona and her black Sabre Liger!"
Van: "Sabre liger? What's that?"
Reese: "I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough..."
Van: "Reese you should get out of here go to your Genosaurer see if it's hatched yet."
Reese knew he was just trying to get her to go so she wouldn't get hurt and normally she would have argued but seeing what was about to happen she went ahead and got out of the liger besides if it had hatched they'd have a MAJOR advantage because raven wouldn't be expecting that. And no one would know what it could do. So there would be no real defending against it.
The Desert wind blew as Reese went over a hill and slid down the cliffwall landing next to the chrysalis
Reese: "Nope not hatched just as I thought..."
She slowly climbed back up just in time to see the start of the battle. The GenoBreaker and the Saber liger headed for van's blade liger at a incredible speed the Saber liger got to him first and rammed him then the genobreaker Lifted him into the air and slamed him back down. Van Was amazed by the speed at wich they were attacking Raven trained Fiona well in only a day's time he got the liger on its feet just in time to dodge the saber liger s charge this time the Geno breaker fire a particle cannon and the ligers shield only just barely got up in time. Reese was standing on the sidelines unable to do anything but hope and pray. She needed to get in there she had to help or van would die and it would happen right in front of her while she watched unable to do anything...again..."NO" she thought "I won't have it happen again!" she slid back down to the chrysalis and beg and pleaded with Specular to hurry And informed her of what was going on the chrysalis seemed to change a bit but not much and reese sighed almost giving up hope she heard another clash and then Raven yelling she assued that meant Van had hit Fiona Then she heard a lound Bang and the blade liger went flying overhead across the gap.
Reese: "Yep he hit Fiona.."
She saw him fly back across and then hear Fiona yell and then he went flying across that gap again he went back and then was thrown again it seemed like everytime he got a hit they fought 2 times better than they had before. Reese was losing hope fast ad staring at the chrysalis
Reese: "Please...Please..PLEASE hatch I have to help Him! I must! This is all MY Fault! And I have to make it right! I have to save him...I love him..."
As she said those last words the chrysalis shined and cracked and then shattered and a new Zoid was sanding before her it had two huge claws and looked like the geno breaker except for the claws and it was blue also it had an extra booster.and suddenly Reeses' eyes lit up and hope came flooding into her she ran to it and hopped in started it up and rushed to the battle field hovering above them she announced.
Reese: "OKAY! NOW YOU MEET THE GENO CRUSHER!"
