Fiona was in pure shock as Ryan pulled the sword out of Van's stomach. Van
fell limply to the ground as Ryan fell back a few feet clutching his wound.
Fiona immediately got to her feet and rushed to Van's side. He was
breathing very weakly. Blood flowed out of the wound at a great pace. "Van,
Van," said Fiona in a panic hoping that he was going to live. In her dreams
he never did and that was what frightened her the most. A tear escaped her
eyes and fell down her cheek where it landed on Van. He weakly opened his
eyes and saw the teary eyed Fiona. "You're crying for me?" said Van in a
confused. "Of course I am," said Fiona in a very shaky voice. "This is it
isn't it?" asked Van in a weak voice that was barely audible. "What?" asked
Fiona wishing beyond hope that he would be all right. "This is what you
have been afraid of for so long. The reason why you left me," said Van in a
weak voice. Fiona couldn't seem to speak at that moment so she merely
nodded her head in response. "It is good to finally know what you are so
scared of," said Van with a gasp as he clutched his stomach. "Please Van,
don't speak," said Fiona with urgency in her voice. "No Fiona. There is
something important that need to say," said Van in a weak voice. "No Van,
you need to save your strength," said Fiona as tears poured out of her
eyes. "No. I have to say this now or I might not get another chance," said
Van staring at Fiona. "Don't talk like that. You are going to be fine,"
said Fiona with the tears coming out even faster. "Why are you crying? I
thought you hated me," said Van in a weak voice. Fiona didn't know how to
respond. "Listen. I don't care how you feel about me. If I don't say this
now I will haunt me even in death. Fiona, when you said all those things to
me before. It was like something was being driven through my heart. It hurt
because I loved you with all my heart and you kept hurting it more and
more. I don't care what you think about this but I had to tell you that I
love you," said Van in a weak voice before grimacing and clutching his
stomach again. Fiona was in pure shock. Out of all the things she expected
him to say, neither of them was what actually came out of his mouth. A
fresh wave of tears came to Fiona's eyes. She closed her eyes and turned
her head towards the ground. In a voice that no one could hear she
whispered to things, "I lied." "What?" asked Van looking at her with
confusion. "I lied Van. The truth is that I love you too. I was so scared
though for both yours and Kristi safety that I did things that I knew would
hurt you, but I knew that it would keep you safe," said Fiona looking at
the ground. "Fiona," whispered Van as he watched Fiona cry.
"Damn it," growled Ryan as he clutched his stomach. It hurt so much that he was unable to move at all. He saw a conversation going on between Van and Fiona. He also saw Zack just watching it as if he didn't exist. Zack then turned his gaze down upon Ryan and walked up to him. "You are a failure," growled Zack with a hardened gaze. "But sir. I did exactly what you wanted me to," said a scared Ryan. "Yet look at you. Look what you let Flyheight do to you. You are so weak. I don't know why I even kept you around," said Zack with a death gaze. "B-b-b-but sir," stuttered Ryan in a very fearful way. "No more excuses," growled Zack as he approached Ryan.
"D-do you mean that Fiona?" asked Van as he felt his heart flutter in his chest. He stared at her waiting for a reply. "Yes. I do. I love you more then anything else in the world. It just scares me about the thought of something happening to you. You and Kristi are the most important things to me. I just couldn't sit by and watch the two of you getting hurt because of me," said Fiona in tears. Van reached up and carefully wiped away the tears that fell down her face. "I am glad that I finally know," said Van with a weak smile. Van pulled Fiona down a little and placed a light kiss on her lips. "I need to ask you something Fiona," said Van in his weak voice. "What is that Van?" asked Fiona with a loving gaze. Van reached into one of his pockets and pulled out something. Upon inspecting it closer, Fiona saw that it was a small velvet. "I wanted to ask you that day you said all of those things. I never got to with all that you said. Now is a good time to ask it though. Fiona, I love you with all my heart and I would do anything to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" asked Van opening the box to reveal a ring. Fiona was in shock. I kind of hurt her to know that he planned on asking her that before but it hurt a little more that he was asking in the shape that he was in. She was happy though that he asked. "Yes. Yes Van I will," said Fiona with a smile on her face. "You have no idea how happy this makes me," said Van, but once he said that he started in a fit of coughing. It stooped quickly and Van pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on his finger. "You have to survive though. You have to," said Fiona in a quiet voice. Van gave a weak smile. "I am not sure if I can. It hurts so much," said Van in a weak voice. "You have to. We are going to get married and I don't want you to die before that happens," said a teary eyed Fiona. Van didn't respond.
A few moments passed and all was quiet. A sudden cracking sound brought Fiona's attention away from Van. She looked up to see Zack with his hands clasped tightly around the limp Ryan's neck. "Human's are so weak. Only the zoidian race is capable of ruling this planet like it was meant to be," growled Zack as he threw the dead body of Ryan off to the side next to the now unconscious form of Ashley. "You're a zoidian?" asked a shocked Van. "Of course. Humans are incapable of doing anything right. So I have charged with taking back this planet from the weak humans who inhabit it," said Zack with a loud laugh. "You could have helped Fiona, but you decided to ally yourself with those weak humans," said Zack seriously. "No, we are not weak," said Van, but he suddenly clutched his stomach in pain. Zack just stared on in amusement. Fiona could feel his hands growing cold. Van then suddenly went limp in her arms. He was alive for the moment, but Fiona didn't know if he would survive much long. His breaths were coming out in hard gasps. "No, Van," whispered Fiona with more tears. "If you want to be with him that bad, then I guess I can send you to him," growled Ryan as he pulled out a dagger. He then charged at Fiona. She looked on with a hard face as he charged right at her.
Fiona just stood there. She was on a balcony watching the setting sun. Her daughter was right by her side. Neither of them spoke. It was very quiet. Her daughter looked up at Fiona with kind eyes, yet she said nothing. Fiona was twisting the ring that she had on her finger. "Hey Fiona," said Moonbay quietly as she walked up behind Fiona. "Hey Moonbay," said Fiona not even turning around to look at her friend. "What's up? Is something on you mind?" asked Moonbay with a small smile. "I was just thinking," said Fiona quietly before turning around to look at Moonbay. Kristi then ran by both of them and into the base. "About what happened?" asked Moonbay with a sad look on her face. "Yeah. It didn't matter how much I tried to stop it from happening. In the end it still happened and I was powerless to stop it," said Fiona in a sad voice. "Van just did what he always did for you Fiona. He protected you with everything that he had," said Moonbay looking at her friend. "I know that. The thing is that everything that I did to try and stop it from happening just seemed to urge it forward even more," said Fiona turning back to watch the sunset. This time Moonbay walked right next to her and watched it as well. "Van was brave for doing what he did. It is over now because of him," said Moonbay with a smile on her face. "I know," said Fiona smiling as well. "So what are you going to do now?" asked Moonbay looking at Fiona. "First I am going to try and get my life back on track. After that will all depend I guess," said Fiona with a calm face as she watched the sun finally go down. "Come on Fiona. Why don't we go watch as they take that bastard away," said Moonbay with a weak smile in her face. "I guess I can do that," said Fiona with a small smile as well. The two of them then walked back into the base.
"Damn it," growled Ryan as he clutched his stomach. It hurt so much that he was unable to move at all. He saw a conversation going on between Van and Fiona. He also saw Zack just watching it as if he didn't exist. Zack then turned his gaze down upon Ryan and walked up to him. "You are a failure," growled Zack with a hardened gaze. "But sir.
