I decided to update a little earlier this week, 'cause I'm sick and, since
I didn't go to school, I really don't have much to do. (I forgot my PS2 at
my grandma's house. () Oh well. Here's chapter 3!
Chapter 03: Searching for Help
It was a dark, stormy night. (I've always wanted to say that! ^_^x) Thunder was crashing down everywhere. Fiona was in a creepy graveyard, all alone. Shadows moved about her. A shadowy hand reached out to grab her. She screamed.
"Aaaah! Van! Help me, please!" She yelled as she started running as fast as she could. Shadows everywhere reached out for her. She kept screaming and running. She eventually came to a dead end. The shadows encircled her. She was terrified.
"Help me, please!" she said, starting to sob. "Help me. please." she said as she fell to her knees.
"Fiona? Fiona! Wake up!" a voice said as she automatically sat up. The shadows had disappeared.
"Huh? Where am I? Asked Fiona confused as she looked around her with puzzled eyes.
Van yawned. "In my room, in my house, Wind Colony, Republic Area, Planet Zi, zip code, no idea." He answered her. Fiona laughed because he sounded so funny.
"Poor Van. He didn't sleep at all because of me." Fiona said to herself. Then she asked him. "Van, are you sure you slept AT ALL last night?"
Van yawned again. "I can't tell her the truth. She'll feel guilty. But I can't lie to her." He said to himself. "Don't worry about me." He told her.
Fiona wasn't convinced. "Are you sure?"
"I'm okay, trust me." He assured her.
"Okay, if you say so." she said, still not convinced.
Maria entered the room, with two cups of coffee, one with sugar (for Van) and the other with salt (for Fiona. DUH!)
"Good Morning, you two." She chirped. "Do you feel better, Fiona?" she asked, handing Fiona her cup of Weird Salty Ancient Zoidian Coffee.
"Hey! What about me, sis?" Van complained as he yawned again. Maria turned to look at her brother.
"Um, Van? Did you sleep anything at all last night? You don't look very awake, to tell the truth." She said worriedly. Van thought, "What the heck's up with these girls? Always asking if you slept anything."
He once again answered. "Don't worry about me." Then he took his cup of coffee his sister offered him. "By the way, thanks for the coffee, sis.
Suddenly the computer in the room made a sound announcing an e-mail. Everyone turned around to look at the computer, with a quizzical look in their face.
"Hmm, I wonder who's it for?" Van wondered out loud.
He got up to look at it, followed by Fiona. When they read the message, Fiona started to shake and tremble. It read:
Dear Fiona Elisi Lynette:
I want you to know I won't give up until you're dead. Watch out, I'm coming to get you! Take care. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!!!
"Love",
Shadow
Then the screen went blank.
"Why that filthy." Van started. He was interrupted by a trembling Fiona clutching his arm.
"Don't leave me alone. Van, I'm scared. More than before." She whimpered.
"Don't worry, I'm here for ya." He said comfortingly.
"I'm glad I have you by my side." Fiona said thankfully, feeling better.
Maria cleared her throat, and Van blushed, but Fiona doesn't get it "Ahem, let's concentrate on the situation. I think the best thing is for you to go away from the Wind Colony. But, where would you go?" she asked.
Van's Idea Lightbulb suddenly turned on. "I know! Let's call Irvine! Or Moonbay! Surely one of them can help us!"
"Do you know where they are?" Fiona asked, and Van nodded.
"Irvine works in Rudolf's royal guard and Moonbay's still a transporter "of the wasteland"." Van said, and then he started imitating Moonbay's voice, singing. "I am a transporter, of the wasteland. I'm just, making it up, as I go!"
Fiona and Maria started to laugh and joined along.
"We are, transporters, of the wild wasteland! We never know just where, the dusty road will take us!" They burst out laughing.
Fiona stopped laughing. "Um, Van? What are we laughing at?"
Van stopped laughing too, and answered. "I don't know." Then they started laughing like maniacs again.
"This is a hopeless cause." Maria mumbled sweatdropping.
Van finally stopped laughing, and yawns. "I'm gonna call Irvine first." He said as he picked up the phone and dialed Irvine's number.
It rang for several seconds, then a familiar, but not friendly-sounding, voice answered. (Irvine was woken up by the phone. "Damn the fricking phone!" as Irvine would say.)
Irvine, groaning, said "Who's it?"
"Irvine? It's me, Van." Van answered.
"VAN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HECK TIME IT IS? IT'S 6 A.M. ON A SATUR-DAY, YOU LITTLE." Irvine yelled into the phone, obviously feeling capable of killing Van.
(A/n: From now on, every time a character yawns, it will be between (parentheses). Hope that helps. ^_^x)
"Yeah yeah, glad to hear you too Irvine. Listen, we need your help, urgently. (yawn)" Van said.
"(yawn) Looks like you didn't sleep much either. And who's US? Do you need help so urgently you need to wake me up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday? (yawn)" Irvine asked, still in a bad mood.
"Us means Fiona and me. And yes, we need help that badly that I thought I should wake you up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday. Listen, do you happen to know where's Moonbay? (yawn)" Van kept on talking.
"(yawn) She's supposed to come to palace in two days. But why do we need Moonbay for? (yawn)"
"Can you guys meet me at the mexican restaurant in Guygalos in two days? (yawn)"
"I'm down with that, but I'll have to ask Moonbay if that's okay with her. (yawn)"
"Okay. Thanks a billion, Irvine. Now you can go back to sleep. (yawn)"
"(yawn) You too." Irvine replied, and then he hung up.
Van put down the phone, and when he turned around, his eyes met with Fiona's prompting ones. "What did Irvine say?" she inquired.
" (yawn) He said he'll help us." Van answered, as he went back to drinking his cup of coffee.
Fiona was practically jumping of joy. "Fantastic!" she exclaimed.
"What else did you expect from him? (yawn)" Van commented. "Whe leave for Guygalos in an hour, so get ready."
"I'll help you guys pack everything." Maria volunteered.
And they went to get ready, with the hopes of receiving help from their friends.
TO BE CONTINUED.
"Van here. We're going to Guygalos to meet up with Moonbay and Irvine, after two years. Hi's will be said, and comments will be made in our reunion. What ideas will they come up with? Next time on Zoids Search for an Assassin: Chapter 04 - Here comes Moonbay! See ya on the battlefield!"
