'What's going on? Raven isn't supposed to have this much strength. Especially since the power that is coursing through my zoid at this very moment makes my zoid the most powerful that is supposed to be around. What is it that is allowing him to use such a power?' Ryan thought to himself as he charged at Raven only to have his zoid repelled by the power of the genobreaker. 'When I first fought him, he went down without so much as a fight. Now he is capable of standing against me on equal footing with me? How is it possible? Also for some reason it can't read what his next move will be. There is something very wrong with all of this,' Ryan told himself as he hit Raven to the ground only to have Raven get up again as if nothing had even happened to him. "What's the matter? You don't seem to be doing as well as last time. Is it that you lost all nerve as soon as you have seen how powerful I have become?" asked Raven with a smirk on his face. "Shut up!" yelled Ryan as he charged his zoid at Raven. The foot for the genobreaker locked in place and the genobreaker started to take in energy. Ryan pulled back his attack the moment that he saw this. 'This I can use to my advantage,' thought Ryan with a smirk on his face just remembering what he did to Raven the last time that the charged particle beam was used on him. The genobreaker fired the beam sending up dust everywhere as it flew through the air towards Ryan. The beam made direct contact. However it didn't work as Ryan went charging through the dust with his shield up ready to pound Raven. When he got to Raven's position he noticed that Raven was nowhere to be found. "Where'd he go?" yelled Ryan looking around for any sign of Raven. "Do you think I would fall for the same trick twice?" came Raven's voice. "Where are you?" yelled Ryan at the top on his lungs. "Up here," said Raven as he fell through the air right on top of the iron kong. The iron kong fell to the ground and the genobreaker took the cockpit into his teeth. "Damn it," yelled Ryan as he opened up the cockpit as far as he could and jumped out of it. Just in time too because the next second the cockpit exploded under the pressure that the genobreaker was putting on it. Ryan looked at the remains of his zoid before running towards the entrance to the base.

"Fiona," whispered Van seeing her in the tube. "Reese," he said next as he saw Reese. "Kristi," he whispered seeing his daughter. "They are all here. I finally found them," said Van in a happy voice. "Too bad it will do you no good," said Zack from behind him. Van turned around to see Ashley unconscious on the floor with Zack standing over her. "You," growled Van with his eyes full of hatred. "Yes me. You and the traitor did good to get this far. However it will be for nothing as soon as I will finish you off here and now," growled Zack with a look of pure hatred in his eyes as well. "Get up," growled Zack to Ashley. She got off the ground with his eyes burning their blood red color. "Snap out of it," yelled Van trying to get her to return to her normal self. "That will do you no good. I don't know how you managed to get her back to her normal self but right now she is under my complete control and no matter how hard you try there is no possible way for you to reach her," said Zack with an evil laugh. Van just put on a stern face as he walked towards some controls. "What are you doing?" asked Zack in a dangerous voice. "Putting a stop to this even if I lose my life in the process," said Van taking out his father's dagger and plunging it deep into the controls. The machine started to spark and then all the power in the room went out. A moment later some backup power went back on. "How dare you do that," growled Zack with pure malice in his voice. "Wait till you see what I am going to do next," said Van taking the largest thing that he could find. He picked it up and rushed over to the pods and pounded all of them with the object. The three pods that held Fiona, Reese and Kristi started to crack and then they shattered and all three of them fell to the floor. "Probably dead by now. So it doesn't matter. My plan most likely has already been completed," said Zack with a laugh.

"This is just getting boring," said Irvine as he destroyed another zoid. Despite a number of battles going on between numerous other zoids, there were no more zoids around for him to take out and it was the same for Thomas. "Irvine come on we have to get in there," said Thomas in a hurry as he jumped out of his zoid and Irvine did the same. They went up to the area that they had seen Ryan run into only a few minutes earlier. "Hurry it up," said Irvine impatiently. "How did they get that control panel up?" asked Thomas looking for anything that could help them. "I thought that you were good with electronics," said an impatient Irvine. "I am. You just need to give me about a minute to find out how this one works. Even the best need a little bit of time to get things done," muttered Thomas as he tried to fins what he needed. A few seconds later, a control panel popped out of the ground. It only took them a second of looking at it before they both said in unison, "Crap!"

A sudden groan brought both Van and Zack to look at the source of the noise. It came from Fiona. Van rushed to her side in an instant. "Fiona, Fiona," said Van shaking her slightly. Fiona's eyes slowly opened and she stared into Van's face. "Van, you came for us," said Fiona in a very weak voice. "Of course I did. I couldn't just leave you here," said Van slightly happy that she was alive. "Why?" asked Fiona but he couldn't answer her before she fell back into a state of unconsciousness. Van set her down carefully. He then walked over to Reese and Kristi. He quickly looked for a pulse and was glad that he found one in both of them. "Good. They are all alive," said Van quietly. The door to the room suddenly opened and Ryan came running into the room. "You're late," growled Zack knowing that the plan that they had worked for years to achieve had failed with the destruction of the machines. "Sorry sir. You idea was a failure though. My zoid has been destroyed by Raven and so has the other zoid," said Ryan a bit angry that all that they worked for was all for nothing. "It is not that the plan failed, it is that you failed," said Zack annoyed that he didn't even manage to destroy Raven. Ryan seemed to cower back a little in fear at how dangerously Zack was talking. "However, I will give you another chance if you manage to take care of Flyheight," said Zack pointing towards Van. "With pleasure sir," said Ryan with a smirk on his face. He immediately charged towards Van and before Van could even react he felt a pain in his stomach as Ryan punched him very hard. Van was sent to the other side of the room where he laid motionless.

"Hurry it up," said Irvine as Thomas punched in many different codes hoping to find the right one. "Hold your horses. It is not like if I say open sesame, that it will just open," said Thomas as he finished typing in another password. As if it heard it the gate suddenly opened up. "I guess we should have said that in the first place," said Irvine with a smirk as they headed into the dark depth of the base in search of their friends.

Fiona's eyes slowly started to open. She let off a groan as she slowly tried to get to her feet but she failed and fell back down. This caught Zack's attention since he turned her way right after that. "So you are awake," said Zack in a monotonous tone. Fiona ignored him and looked around. There laying in a corner was Van. He wasn't moving but Fiona could see that he was alive by his shallow breathing which she was somehow able to hear. Zack and Ashley walked over to the unconscious Reese and Kristi and picked them up. Ryan turned towards her as well. He raised up a finger signaling for her to come to him. "If you come with us now I won't have to put you in the same condition as your boyfriend, and maybe I won't have to kill you friend and daughter," said Ryan in a dangerous voice. Fiona started to freak out as she realized what was happening at that moment. 'No. This has to be a dream again. It just has to,' thought Fiona as she shook her head an took a few steps. "Come with us now," yelled Ryan as he charged towards Fiona. He pulled out his sword and prepared to strike her down. 'Van is down so he can't die,' thought Fiona happily as she waited for the blow to come but it never came. 'Please don't say that when I open my eyes Van will be there,' thought Fiona as worry spread all around her face. She opened her eyes and there was Van. However it wasn't like in her dream. The sword had missed Van. It was off to the side a little bit but Fiona could see a little blood meaning that he was hit. 'It didn't happen,' thought Fiona happily as she saw Van with his father's dagger out and plunged into the stomach of Ryan. Van pulled back the dagger and watched as Ryan stumbled back a few feet before falling to the ground. Van then clutched his side and fell to on knee. He turned to look at her with a weak smile on his face. 'This can't happen,' thought Ryan as he held his stomach. 'I can't lose,' he thought as he grabbed his sword, which was nearby. He got to his feet quickly and charged towards Fiona again. Fiona was caught in shock and expected to feel the blow but when she looked up again Van was there again. This time though her worst fears were realized. He was standing there blocking Ryan's path with the sword sticking right through his stomach.
