A/N: Hey!!!!! Well, in case you haven't figured out yet, I've come to the more serious parts of the story. Well, not to leave you hang anymore, grab a bowl of ice cream, and settle yourself down to read. Oh, and this is what I consider a stupid chapter . . .

Disclaimer: Nope . . .

"This is all my fault," Van muttered as he leaned back in the chair sighing.

"Sir," Van looked over to see a nurse standing there.

"Yes," Van jumped up.

"Are you the one who brought that young woman in?"

"Yes, I did, what about her?"

"The doctor would like to speak with you, come this way."

The nurse led Van through the swaying doors and down a hallway till they came to a familiar doctor.

"Dr. West," Van raced over, he wanted to hear of Fiona's condition right away.

"Ah yes, Van Flyheight, I knew I recognized that young woman from somewhere."

"How is she, please tell me," Van begged.

"Come, let us talk as we walk back to the room," Dr. West motioned for Van to follow him as they began to walk down many halls.

"Tell me, is she going to be ok?"

"First I want you to tell me how she got into this condition in the first place."

Van sighed as he proceeded to tell only what was necessary, and nothing more.

"I see, so you have no idea how her body got all cut up?"

"None what so ever, now please tell me, will she make it?" Van asked once again.

"Its hard to say, she lost a lot of blood, and to tell the truth, I don't think she will make it."

"There has to be something I can do!"

"I feel she has about 3 hours," Dr. West said as he opened the door to a room where Fiona lay motionless on the bed.

"Fiona . . ." Van whispered as he caught sight of her.

"I've tried testing her blood, but it keeps coming up as unknown, and if I cant find someone with the same blood, she will die for sure. But I cant guarantee that if we get someone with the same blood to donate that she will live, but I figure its worth a shot." Dr. West suggested.

Van's eyes hadn't moved from Fiona's abnormally pale figure. But he had heard what Dr. West had suggested.

"Fiona's an Ancient Zoidian, that's why you couldn't identify her blood type," Van kept his voice at a whisper as he looked at all the bandages coating her body.

"She's a WHAT!" Dr. West said, his voice full of surprise and shock.

"You heard me correctly," Van replied as he began to go into deep thought.

"That's incredible," Dr. West replied, while thinking to himself.

Van's head snapped up, as if someone had just turned on the light bulb in his brain.

"How long did you say she has?" Van turned around to face the doctor.

"About 3 hours at the most, I figure its her love and willpower to want to see you again that's holding her on this side of the balance."

"I'll be back before that," Van raced out of the room.

"What's that boy up to?"

*****

Van stopped the Blade Liger as he jumped to the hard desert ground.

"She has to be here, it's the last place anyone's seen her," Van prayed as he walked through the half open, and broken door.

"Is Anyone Here!" Van called out into the dark house.

Van looked around, he sighed, no one was here, this was a hopeless case, but he had to keep looking.

"Why have you come here Van?"

Van turned around, he knew that voice anywhere.

"Raven . . ." Van broke into a smile.

"I asked you why you were here, have you come to take . ." Raven was cut off.

"Raven, please, tell me where Reese is, I need to see her right away," Van pleaded.

"Why would I help you, and where's your girlfriend at?" Raven looked around but found no sign of Fiona.

"That's why I need to see her, I need to ask a favor of her, please, tell me where she is."

"She's upstairs, but be quiet," Raven warned as they headed up the stairs.

"Why?" Van asked as he followed.

A small crying noise came from the top of the stairs.

"Is that what I think that is," Van asked in a sly tone.

"Yah," Raven muttered.

"How sweet, tough old Raven's a daddy," Van teased.

"I don't have to let you see Reese you know," Raven pushed Van against a wall.

"Raven, what's all that noise," Reese's voice came from the top of the stairs where she was holding a small bundle.

"Flyheight is here, says he needs to speak with you and that its urgent," Raven let go of Van.

"Tell him I'll be down in a second," Reese disappeared from the top of the stairs, Raven led Van back down the stairs and into a small room that was decorated. It was obvious that the first room was a decoy room so people would think this place unoccupied.

Van took a seat and checked his watch, only and hour and a half till it was too late, he had to hurry.

"What do you need Van," Reese asked as she entered the room.

"I need a favor," Van confessed.

"What do you need," Reese asked, noting the worry in his voice.

"Its Fiona, she's dying as we speak, and I need someone who can donate blood to save her, but considering she's that of an extinct race, that's a bit tough. You're the only other Zoidian. Please Reese, I beg you, please donate some blood to save her," Van begged.

"I'll help you, and it wont be a favor, It will be me, repaying you for saving me at the under water ruins all that time ago, just give me a few minutes to pack Sarah's things," Reese raced upstairs.

"What happened to make her loose that much blood," Raven asked a little more concerned now than what he would have been a few years ago.

"You remember a while ago, a man came by, trying to kidnap Reese?" Van asked.

"Yah, I do, but what does that have to do with Fiona's condition?"

"I let my guard down, and he took her, I got her back, and now this guys been trying to kill her to obtain his immortality, and to do that he must kill Fiona because it was her blood that he drank to try and obtain it in the first place. She is like this now because I wasn't there to save her in time," Van placed a hand on his face, laying back.

"Come on boys, Fiona's weakening and I can feel it," Reese raced outside to where a newly rebuild Geno-Breaker sat, hiding behind an invisible field.

Van jumped into the Blade Liger, heading back to the hospital with Reese and Raven on his tail.

"I'm coming with help Fiona, hang on," Van muttered as he pushed the booster harder.

*****

Reese handed off the baby Sarah to Raven as she and Van raced towards the room.

"You are back," Dr. West said as he heard the door open.

"Yes, and I got someone who can help, but you must hurry doctor, I cant loose Fiona," Van yelled out.

"Yes, of course, right this way," Dr. West led Reese to another room.

Van paced outside the room as Raven came up next to him.

"Don't you worry. Oh, and next time, don't expect us to be so inviting," Raven laughed.

Van smiled and let out a heavy sigh.

Dr. West came out of the room carrying a bag filled with the red liquid.

Van raced into the room that Fiona was being held in, she had gotten paler since a few hours ago.

Dr. West hooked the bag up to the stand, attaching an I.V. that would disperse the blood into Fiona's this figure.

He carefully placed the small I.V. needle into Fiona's wrist as the red liquid ran down the thin tube

"Now, we wait to see the results," Dr. West left the room as Van sat into a chair beside the bed.

"Please Fiona, you can do it," Van prayed as Reese entered the room, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, I can feel it, I'll be outside if you need me," Reese began to leave the room.

"Thanks so much Reese, I will never be able to thank you enough," Van turned to face her.

"Its alright, don't worry about it," Reese offered a small smile as she closed the door.

One Third of the Blood had been transferred, Van sat, thinking of how Raven and Reese had both changed. They defiantly weren't the criminals they used to be.

'I guess Love does perform miracles,' Van thought as he continued to keep watch over Fiona.

*****

Another stupid chapter that has to be written because it goes with the story. I personally didn't like this chapter at all. And Taltos, I didn't mean it to be written as harsh as it sounded. To tell the truth, It doesn't bother me when a person asks me to write another chapter. It doesn't bother me, and I don't really care what I type, but I bet the reader cares what she/he wants to read. That's why I let people pick, because I'm not the one reading it, you are. Well I hope you enjoyed this stupid chapter better than I did. Well review and tell me what you think. And yes, incase you didn't get that, Sarah is the kid Raven and Reese had TOGHETHER! You hear!!!! Well that's all for me. You know, I feel that Dr. West character I made is a real idiot . . . oh well . . .

Catch you next chapter!
