"Colonel Schubaltz, can you help us to check the data on the pilot whom we fought just now", asked Van. "We are just about to do that", replied Colonel Schubaltz. "Where's Thomas", asked Fiona. "Thomas won't be able to come. I sent him on another mission", replied Colonel Schubaltz. "OK, the pilot's name is Nikki Vision. She is a very skilled pilot. She has three older brothers and her father. Her mother died from a illness two years ago. Her family has houses in every village. It was rumored that she has a gift", said Colonel Schubaltz. "The rumor is true", said Irvine. Everybody look at him. "I know Nikki. We met a few years back."
Flashback---------------------------
"Who are you", asked Irvine. "I am Nikki Vision", replied Nikki. "THE Nikki Vision", asked a shocked Irvine. Nikki nodded. "I am sorry about injuring your Zoid", said Nikki. "It's OK. If this had never happened, I will never meet you", said Irvine. Suddenly a crate that was being lift up broke, and it was going to fall on Irvine. "IRVINE, LOOK OUT", shouted Nikki. But it was too late. Suddenly the crate stops in mid-air. "What the…" said Irvine. He looked at Nikki and saw that Nikki putting her hands out and concentrating. Nikki used her mind's strength and push the crate over Irvine. The crate landed with a loud "CRASH". "How did you know my name", asked Irvine. Nikki sighed. "I have a gift. I have telepathic and telekinesis powers. I read your mind to find out your name and used my mind to hold the crate", said Nikki. " I have to go", said Nikki. She ran to her Saberfang and ran off.
End Of Flashback---------------
"Since then, I never saw her again until now", said Irvine. "How are we going to defeat her if she knows our every move and thoughts", asked Van. "Maybe if we concentrate hard in enough, she will not be able to get into our minds", suggest Moonbay. "IT WON'T WORK", shouted Irvine. Everyone was shocked. Irvine never shouted at them before (except a few times but not like this). "Nikki will still defeat us as she can crush all the Zoids with her mind too", said Irvine. Then he turned and walks out of the room. "Did he got out the wrong side of the bed today", asked Van. "I wonder what is up with Irvine", thought Fiona.
Irvine was in the hangar checking on his Zoid, which was still being repaired. He sat down leaning against a pillar. He took out a necklace. It had a star pendant. "You love Nikki don't you", asked Fiona who just walked into the hangar. "Maybe or maybe not. It is all in the past now. She might have forgotten about me. She gave me this necklace before she ran off. I carry it with me as a good luck charm. Sometimes I can feel her standing next to me", said Irvine. Fiona sat beside him. "Do you love Moonbay", asked Fiona. "No, I treat her as an annoying sister. Maybe I do love Nikki. I still need time to think", said Irvine. "Can I keep you company", asked Fiona. "Sure, but what about Van", said Irvine. "Van is with Colonel Schubaltz", replied Fiona. Both of them just sat there thinking and keeping each other company.
Irvine and Fiona did not know that Moonbay was eavesdropping. When she heard that Irvine did not love her, She cried and ran back to her room that she shared with Fiona. (What about Moonbay's and Nikki's feelings? Read the next Chapter to find out!)
