1 year later

A year passed since Van's death. Unknown to him. He and Fiona had another child. When he left to fight Zain, Fiona was a month pregnant. 7 months after his death Padme was born. Her birth brought a lot of joy to Fiona.

The Guardian Force feared that Zain would try to hurt Fiona. So they decided to bring her and her children to the base. They did it for her safety and in Van's memory. Moonbay decided to come and live at the base too, so she could keep Fiona company.

Samira was too young to understand what was happening. The only thing she knew was that her father was in heaven. Dan on the other hand didn't take it to well. He was very attached to his father. Only time made the pain go away.

Fiona looked at the sleeping baby that was in the cribe. Everyday Padme was more like Van. She has his black hair and her eyes are a grayish color. Even though she was only 5 months old, Fiona could tell that she has the same smile as Van's.

" Everyday your more like your father. " Fiona said softly. There was a knock on the door. " Come in. "

" Hey Fiona. " Said Moonbay as she closed the door. " How's the baby? "

" She's sleeping. We are the children? " Fiona asked as she sat on the bed.

" There playing outside. Dan is with Irvine and Thomas. " Said Moonbay as she took a sit next to Fiona.

" Dan wants to pilot a zoid so much. He the zoids just as much as............." But she didn't finish.

Moonbay decided to change the subject. " Hey Fiona how about we go to the town that's near here.? We can ask the guys to come ith us. "

Fiona thought about it.

" Come on. You haven't gone outside the base since we arrived here. It will be good if you got some fresh air. " Encouraged Moonbay.

" Alright. Besides I need to buy some things for the baby. "

Suddenly the attack alarm sounded. " What's going on? " Asked Moonbay.

" I don't know. We should go see. " Said Fiona. Both of them quickly left the room and ran towards the control room. Irvine and Thomas were already there.

" What's going on? " Asked Fiona.

Neither Thomas or Irvine answered. That only meant one thing.

" Its Zain. " Said Fiona softly.

" What did he do know? " Asked Moonbay angry. She was eally getting tired of that guy. Ever since Zain found out the Fiona was under the protection of the Guardian Force, he had been attacking towns all around neared bases.

" He attacked another town. " Said Thomas.

" Which one? " Asked Fiona.

" Kyoto ( I know its one of Japan's states, but I couldn't think of anything else. You guys can suggest names for future towns. )The one that is near this base. " Said Irvine. He took out a map of the town. " From the information we got, this places " He pointed them, " Were the most damadge. The rest of the town is fine. "

" You mean the town is still standing. " Said Moonbay shocked.Every town that Zain attacked were left in ashes. Why would this town be any different?

" It seems that someone from that town used a Sleeper to protect it. " Said Thomas.

" Who ever it was must be a very good zoid pilot. " Said Irvine as he rolled up the map.

" Why? " Asked Fiona.

" Because he defeated 20 of Zain's men by himself. " Said Irvine. He really wanted to know who this person was.

" What! " Both Fiona and Moonbay said astonish.

" We're going to go and see how the town is. Will call you girls to tell you when to come. " Said Thomas.

" Will be ready. " Said Fiona. Ever since those towns were attacked by Zain, she would go and help the people that were still alive. Inside she felt guilty. Zain was attacking all those towns because of her.

It didn't take to long to arrive to the town. Both Irvine and Thomas jumped out of there zoids. The place was a wreck. A soldier from the Guardian Force approched them.

The soldier saluted them. " Sir, we have report that there are no ene,y soldiers in this town left. "

" Thank you soldier. What about the person that defeated the enemy? " Asked Thomas. Curiosity was killing him.

" His over there at the camp sir. " Said the soldier as he pointed to the camp.

" Thank you soldier. You may leave. " The soldier saluted them and left.

" Let's go see who that guy is. " Said Irvine who was dying to know who it was.

" Wait. Let's call the girls first to tell them that it is alright to come now. " Said Thomas.

" Alright, just hurry up. "

Thomas quickly called them and told them that it was alright to come. " Ok, lets go now. " Said Thomas to Irvine.

Both men reached the camp. They walked in to find a big suprise.

Meanwhile the girls had arrived to the town. " Alright Fiona you go see how many injured people we got and I'll meet you in the Hospital camp. " Said Moonbay.

" Ok. " Said Fiona. Fiona checked all over the town to see how many people were injured. Once she knew how many she went to the Hospital camp to meet Moonbay. She walked in but, Moonbay wasn't there. " I wonder were she is? " Fiona asked herself.

Moonbay was pale as ice and ready to faint. What she was seeing was something she would never expect. Thomas and Irvine were to shocked to move. It was as if they were paralyze.

A man walked inside the Hospital camp. Fiona was too busy preparing the things she would need to help the injured people to notice that someone came in.

" Excuse me miss. " Said the man.

Fiona stopped dead in her tracks. That voice. Coulde it be? No, that would be impossible. She slowly turned around. Fiona stared in deep shocked at the man.
