"Fiona, I think I see the exit!" Van exclaimed as he pointed ahead.

"Its amazing we haven't been caught yet," Fiona said as she had a bad feeling.

"Yah, but we should be counting our blessings."

But just as he finished he heard a shot from behind them.

"Stop right there, or we will have to shot," yelled a tall man holding a gun.

"What should we do Van," Fiona asked in a small scared voice.

"I want you to go on without me, I can take care of this guy easy."

"But . . ." Fiona began until she was interrupted.

"Here, take this," said Van handing her a card. "Its my I.D. (I wonder . . . do they even have I.D. , Oh well), with that you should be able to get to the Base called Dusty Base and it is about 2 miles away. I want you to stay there until I come and get you."

"So are you going to come quietly," the man asked impatiently as he tried to listen to their conversation. He couldn't really do anything because he was ordered not to shot, fear of hurting the girl.

"But what if something happens to you," Fiona asked concerned.

"Look at this guy, he's a stick! He wont be hard to beat, and then I will come strait for you."

"Ok," Fiona agreed reluctantly.

"But don't take the Blade Liger, you will have to go on foot. They will most likely be able to track you down if you do have the Blade Liger. Now run when I tell you to."

"Ok," said Fiona as she readied herself to run, gripping tightly to the I.D. card.

"Ok, go NOW!" Van yelled as Fiona took off down the hallway.

"Way to make things easy," muttered the man as Van quickly dove at him, knocking the gun out of his hand.

The man quickly tapped the red button on his walkie-talkie for reinforcements.

In no time men, all pointing guns at him, surrounded Van.

"Um . . . this could be a little tougher than I thought." Said Van as his arms were forced back behind him.

The 1st man quickly picked up his walkie-talkie and phoned into the security room.

"Sir, we have caught the boy, but the girl managed to escape before we could find them."

"I see," said the master through clenched teeth. "Than bring the boy to me, I am sure he knows where the girl has gone."

"Yes Sir."

*****

"I wonder what's happened to Van," Fiona asked herself out loud as she looked down at the card. "And I wonder where I am."

Fiona quickly walked to the top of the nearest sand dune to see if she could see the base.

"I think I see it!" Fiona yelled excitedly as she ran towards what she thought was the base. But she soon found that it was just a small town.

She walked into a small shop.

"Um . . . excuse me, do you know where I could find the Dusty Base," Fiona asked politely to the man behind the counter.

"Yah, its about ½ mile up the road," said the man pointing back behind him will giving her a quizzical look.

"Thanks," said Fiona as she walked out of the shop.

She soon enough found the base. She pushed the little red intercom button.

"Could you please state who you are and what you are doing at this base." Asked a woman in a very annoyed base.

"I am Fiona Alisi Lynnette of the Guardian Force, and I was asked by Van Flyheight (Don't kill me for bad spellings) to come to this base and stay till he arrives to get me." Fiona replied.

At this the woman began to laugh.

"And you expect met to believe that nonsense?"

Only then did Fiona realize her predicament. She was a girl, wearing bloody pajama's, with her hair covered in dust and dirt.

"I can prove who I am," said Fiona as she slid the card through the scanner.

The woman looked at her screen, which read

Name: Van Flyheight

Age: 18

Member of Guardian Force

Partner: Fiona Alisi Lynnette

Zoid: Blade Liger

Organoid: Zeke

Then was left with a picture of Van, and on the other side a smaller picture of Fiona.

The woman looked from the picture of Fiona to the real Fiona and back again.

"I suppose I will let you in to the Major, he is the one you must prove your case to," replied the woman angrily as she opened the gate, she knew very well that it was really her, she just didn't like the fact that she got to be partners with the Great Hero.

*****

"I know you know where the Zoidian Girl is, so tell me," asked the Master as Van was pushed in front of him.

"I will never tell you where Fiona is," yelled Van as a grin appeared on his face. " The only way you would be able to get the information out of me, would be to turn me into a person just like you, and make me your person servant."

"That can be arranged, but I would prefer it if you just told me where she was," asked the master, slightly annoyed.

"You already have my answer."

"ERR . . . fine," The master yelled, a grin tugging at his lips. "Take him to the memory chamber." He yelled pointing at one of the guards. "Well just get the information right from his insubordinate little mind."

"WHAT! But that's not even possible!!" Van yelled as the master turned to look at him.

"You will find anything is possible when I am around." He smiled an evil grin. "And getting the girl back will be as easy as eating pie." He began to laugh evilly.

"If you dare to lay ONE finger on her, so help me . . ." Van yelled through clenched teeth.

"Oh, I wont be the one going to get her. It will be you, well the you, under my control. Take him away!" The Master (I am going to have to give him a name soon, its getting annoying how I have to write 'master' or 'sir' all the time!) began to laugh again as Van was dragged down the hall.

*****

'Right this way," the angry woman led Fiona down a dimly lit hallway to the commanders office. She knocked on the door.

"What do you want?!" an angry voice yelled.

"You have a guest," The woman said in a bored tone as she looked at the standing Fiona.

"WHO!"

"You remember when Van Flyheight (Like I said, don't kill me on spellings, I am only going as they are pronounced) came here?"

"Yah, so" The voice from behind the door yelled.

"Well the girl who came with him is here, his so called 'Partner', and she needs to talk to you."

"Let her in," the voice seemed to soften.

"Go on in," the woman said as she began walking back down the hall.

"Thank you," Fiona called in her sweet voice.

The woman couldn't help but smile when she turned around "Your welcome."

Fiona walked into the room. The commanders' chair was facing the wall so she couldn't see his face.

"What business do you have here?" The commander asked in a soft voice.

"Um . . . well, Van had some business to take care of a little ways back, and he told me to come here. He asked that you give me a room until he comes, which should be later tonight." Fiona replied softly.

A grin pulled at the Majors lips "I see, well I think I can do that for a beautiful lady such as yourself." He turned around and stood up beginning to walk out the door.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Fiona mumbled to herself. "Thank you!" She spoke up as she followed him out the door.

"So what's your relationship with Van."

'Like its any of his business' Fiona thought. "Well . . . we are partners" she paused. 'Should I tell him that we are going out?' she pondered herself.

He smiled to himself. "Here we go, it's a spare room." He said handing Fiona the key.

"Thank you, I don't know how I will be able to thank you enough," Fiona replied sweetly.

"I think I know how you can repay me."

"How?" Fiona asked slowly.

"How about dinner with me tonight?"

"Um . . . I cant."

"Why?"

"Well when you asked me about Van, you didn't let me finish. I meant to tell you that we are also going out." Fiona said, as the Major faced turned sad.

"Oh . . . I see."

"I'm really sorry, but I'm sure that there's someone out there, just for you," Fiona said softly as she opened the door to the room.

"Thanks, that makes me feel better, Van's lucky to have a girl like you. Have a good nights sleep." The Major said as he began to smile a little. "Oh, and I will get some girls to bring you some new clothes."

"Oh . . . Thanks." Fiona then disappeared behind the door.

"A nice shower might help to take the stress away" Fiona said to herself as she walked into the bathroom.

*****

"Now tell me, what is your name?"

"My name is . . . Blitz," The figure, whom used to be Van replied.

"Very good, and who do you work for?"

"You," This so called Blitz replied in a voice cold as ice.

"Very good, now for the mission you have been given, which is to bring back the girl, do you remember?"

"Yes, this girl, a pretty blond named Fiona. Who. If I am correct is staying at the Dusty Base about 2 miles away."

"Very good, now I want you to bring her back unharmed, do you understand me Blitz?"

"Yes."

"Use this, this girl is feisty and likes to put up a fight, this should knock her out right away," he said tossing Blitz a bottle with a clear liquid inside. 'All she needs to do is inhale some, do you hear?"

"Yes."

"You can enter the base with the code name Van, this Van person is a well known person, just tell them that you are here to pick up the girl, but instead go around the back and enter through the window, it will cause less commotion."

"Yes Sir," Blitz said as he left the room, his black cape trailing behind.

"Revenge is sweet." The master laughed evilly to himelf.
