"Get your filthy hands off of me you filthy humans," growled Zack as he was being dragged into the back of a zoid. He was tied up but unfortunately they weren't able to gag him back when they got close he always tried to bite them. "You are all weak! When I get out of here you will all suffer," he growled as they forced him in. "If we are so weak then why is it that you are the one that is under custody?" asked Thomas with a slight smirk on his face. "You try being hit by two different powers at once and you would probably be dead! Not me though," said Zack in a nasty tone. "Yeah, yeah. Will somebody please shut him up! He is starting to give me a headache," yelled the pilot of the zoid. "We've tried. It is up to you to put up with him," said Irvine with a laugh. "If he doesn't shut up, then can I throw him overboard?" asked the pilot as he boarded his reddler. "Sorry, but we need him alive. Although I don't think they would mind if he was hurt a little," said Van with a smirk as he walked up to them all. Zack glared at him with pure hatred. "Why can't I get rid of you? You should be dead!" yelled Zack at the top of his lungs. "Well I am not thanks to my friends," said Van with a smirk on his face. He was about to yell more but the cockpit closed. "Thank you," said Van as he massaged his head. Eh then watched as the reddler took off to take it's cargo to the right location.

A few moments later, Fiona and Moonbay came walking into the room. "Van!" Yelled Fiona happily as she ran into his arms. "Ouch!" yelled Van as Fiona pulled away and he rubbed his wrapped up stomach. "Oh sorry," said Fiona with a sorry face. "It is ok. A little pain is better then dying," said Van with a weak smile. "I'll say. You were close to dying," said Fiona with a sad face. "Well I am not. I guess we can thank Irvine and Thomas for helping us," said Van looking at the two. "No need to thank us," said Irvine in embarrassment. "Yeah, we were just doing our job," said Thomas in the exact same state. "One question. What did happen once I past out?" asked Van in confusion. "We are still trying to figure that out. Once we got there, there you were in your horrible state. Fiona was unconscious, and that guy Zack was in a terrible state as well," said Thomas after thinking it over. "Oh ok," said Van with a shrug of his shoulders. "Listen. I am going to see how Ashley is doing so I will see you later," said Thomas in a hurry as he rushed out of the room. "Send her my regards," said Van with a smile. "She helped me to get to you so I guess I can put behind what she did," he continued. "Everything seems to have turned out fine, and you thought it would all turn out badly," said Van with a grin on his face as he looked towards Fiona. She glared at him. "I can't help," said Fiona in her own defense. "You are too much of a worry wart," said Van in a teasing voice. "Care to take a walk with me?" asked Van with a smile on his face. "I would love to," said Fiona with a smile to return his.

"I was so scared when it happened to you Van," said Fiona as she latched herself to his arm. "Some good came out of it I guess," said Van with a slight smile. "What happened before Irvine and Thomas got there, Fiona?" asked Van looking at her. "I don't know, but I will tell you what I know happened happen, and what Reese told me once we were back," said Fiona seriously. "I am all ears," said Van with a small smile. I will tell you what happened since you passed out," said Fiona sadly.

***Flashback***

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. Suddenly he stopped right in his tracks and backed away a little bit. "Nice try Reese, but your mind games won't work on me," said Zack as he turned around to look at the very weak Reese. "If I had more energy it would work better," said Reese in a weak voice. Zack just laughed an evil laugh. You are a traitor to us and must be dealt with," said Zack with a malicious smile on his face. He was about to change his attack to the weak Reese but a sudden force seemed to push him against a wall. He groaned and got up off the floor. "What the hell was that?" asked Zack wiping a little blood from his mouth. He looked over and saw Fiona with a look of pure hatred in her eyes. "What the! She wasn't supposed to have these type of powers, and even if she did I know that she wouldn't be the type to use it," said Zack. Another sudden jolt threw him against the wall. "You will be amazed at what love can make a person do," said Reese with a grin on her face. After being weakened Reese knew that he would be easier to toy with in the mind. The two seemed to be able to use both of their powers at once. That did more damage then either of them using it separately. He slammed against the wall with such force that he fell unconscious. Reese looked towards Fiona and she saw her fall down upon the floor right next to Van. She didn't blame her because using powers at such a weakened state took a lot out of a zoidian. The door to the room suddenly burst open and Irvine, Thomas, and after a few minutes Raven ran into the room. Thomas and Irvine immediately went to tend to their friends, but Raven immediately went over to Reese.

***End Flashback***

"If they had gotten there any later. You probably would have died Van," said Fiona as a tear fell down her face. Van wrapped Fiona in a hug. Fiona was quick to respond to it. "It is ok Fiona. I am right here. I am going to be fine," said Van in a soothing tone to try and calm Fiona down a little. "I don't want to think of you being dead," said Fiona as another tear fell down her face. Van just continued to hug her until she finally calmed down a little bit. When Fiona was able to calm down they just remained in their embrace. "Just think about this Fiona. I am alive and we are going to get married soon. How does that sound?" asked Van in a very nice voice. "That sounds great," said Fiona wiping the remaining tears from her eyes. "Good. Why don't we head back,' said Van as they walked into a small canyon that was near the base. What they saw there caught both of them by surprise though.

"We have urgent news sir," said a man as he ran up to Crougar. "What is it?" asked Crougar seeing the urgency in his voice. "We seem to have lost contact with the unit assigned to take the prison," said the soldier. "What was that?" yelled Crougar sitting up in his chair. "We have lost the signal for the unit. I am afraid that something may have happened to them," said the solider. "Put everyone in that area on full alert," yelled Crougar. "I am afraid that he may have escaped," said Crougar with a growl. "What is going on?" asked Thomas as they walked into the room. "The prisoner Zack has suddenly disappeared along with the escort unit. We think that he may have escaped," said Crougar with a lot of urgency in his voice. "Where at?" asked Irvine in an urgent voice. 'I will not have this entire war stared over because of this one probably,' thought Irvine with a growl. "It was said to be in this area," said Crougar pulling up a map. "Wait a minute," said Thomas knowing something about that area. "Isn't that?" asked Irvine but before he could finish Thomas spoke again. "Yeah," said Thomas in a disbelieving voice. The two of them suddenly dashed out of the room.

"Van, isn't this the escort unit that was used to send Zack away?" asked Fiona as the two of them walked through the wreckage of the many reddlers. "Yes it is," said Van as he ran up to one of them. He looked into the cockpit and saw the very bloody pilot and the torn up ropes in the back of the cockpit. 'Oh no,' thought Van as he quickly rushed out of it. "Let's get out of here," said Van as he grabbed Fiona hand to get her away from the area as fast as they could. The sudden clicking of a gun caught their ears, Van ran even faster after that but then a gunshot was heard.
