This will most likely be the longest chapter.
The Raven and Fiona talk, may seem weird but bare with me.
It is needed for this Fic's plot.
I DO NOT OWN ZOIDS! this site is called fanfiction, and I would beleive that fan fiction, Is fans writing fiction on fiction.
Fiona was lost into her thoughts, into her dark memories.
She was thinking of the man, she was in love with.
Van, before he was killed, he had that playful grin, glee was in his eyes, and he laughed at Fiona's insecurities.
"I'll come back." He said confidently. "Raven won't kill me! He never has and never will."
Fiona wished she had tried to stop him, held him back: Whispered a lie to save him.
But she didn't know, how could they, the fight was going well for van when, Raven's Genobreaker went berserk.
The knock at the door, made Fiona jump, but she knew who it was, so she didn't respond.
Raven sighed and walked in holding the box. Walking over to the bed, he placed the box next to Fiona.
"Why?" Fiona asked softly, and Raven looked at her.
She was still looking out the window just now on the bed. "Why haven't they found me yet?" Fiona asked and Raven knew who they were.
"Because I don't want them to." Raven responded, his voice held no known emotion to Fiona, she looked at him puzzled, Raven watched her.
"What do you mean?"
"The cave we went through before, I left the Genobreaker there. So when they found it, we'd be closer to the other town." Raven responded. "This town isn't on the map."
Fiona remembered the long hike, through a cave, crawling and pushing her way through smaller damper caves before they reached this well hidden town.
Fiona felt dirty remembering what they both went through, but it now dawned on her why all the people in this town where dirty.
Shadow walked in and looked at the two, giving a small hum, Raven looked back at the black organoid.
"Come here Shadow." Raven said, and the organoid walked over carefully, when he reached Raven: Raven began petting the Organoid, reminding Fiona of Zeke.
Letting a few tears fall, she knew it was pointless to try and stop herself from crying.
Raven watched her for a few seconds, and Shadow cocked his head at the girls soft sobs.
"W-why? Why d-did this have to ha-happen?" Fiona sobbed. "Why did I Ha-have to get stuck with my lovers nemesis? W-why did you kill Van?" Fiona shook in both anger and sadness.
"I didn't mean to." Raven said, his voice was soft. Causing Fiona to look up, tears fell freely from her red eyes, the tears against her eyes made them look like blood.
Seeing her questioning look Raven continued. "I didn't mean to kill Van, It was an accident. All this time, under Prozen's command I believed Van had to die for Prozen, to help Prozen." Raven shook his head. "Then it became a personal goal to kill van, I have to admit, I believed it was Van's fault for everything, Van's fault for it raining, Van's fault for it being too hot during the day."
"If you wanted to kill him, then-"
"I didn't, not that time, when I finally woke up from the day dream of it being van's fault, I wanted to redeem myself, the deal to Van during out fight was, if I won I would join the guardian force willingly. If he won, he could give me a fitting punishment for my crimes." Raven looked down, he was leaning against the wall.
"But what he said to me, made me lose it."
Raven smirked, his normal smirk. And Shadow in the core let out a soft growl.
"I'm not cocky; I just don't think I'll lose." Another growl caused Raven to freeze. "I am not going to let him win Shadow!" Raven cried in anger that his best friend believed he was going to just give in.
But he knew, deep down, he knew.
He wanted Van to win; he wanted to be killed for his crimes, punished in a fitting way.
Van while beating Raven, couldn't think of anything, but winning was feeling good and making Van extremely confident.
"What's wrong Raven? Not trying?"
Raven didn't respond because he knew he wasn't trying.
Van had to think of another way to get Raven to try, and his eyes flickered down the Reese watching the fight.
"You may become off the hook at my command, but Reese can't be let off freely." Van said, not sure if this would work.
"What do you mean Flyhight?" Raven growled, dangerously.
"Reese will still get the death penalty even if you don't."
"Why? She's done nothing Wrong! I should get the death penalty, not her!" Raven cried.
"That's the just system for you Raven."
"Screw it Van." Raven growled, in his mind he was wishing for the man in front of him to just disappear, for the guardian force to vanish.
For justice to go away.
"I didn't think the Genobreaker would follow what was in my head; I didn't think he'd do what I wished for." Raven said, he was looking down, his arms folded across his chest.
Wanting to get off that subject, off from crying anymore over Van She asked, wiping her eyes.
"Why doesn't this town fear you?" Raven looked up, at that question.
"I used to come here allot, when I didn't have homework to hand in, or I didn't have a mission to go on, Or Karl wasn't looking for me. Sometimes I'd come here to relax and do community work." Raven muttered. "Even if I didn't know why I liked it here."
"But you know now right?"
"This….used to be my home town, my childhood house is near these caves." Raven responded deadly calm. "Even if I couldn't remember my past, I always felt safe here."
Fioan watched him calmly.
"Do you trust anyone?" she asked, and Raven watched her.
"Fiona, we could be married, and have known each other for years, and I still wouldn't tell you half of what I've been through." That statement answered her question.
Fiona felt a twinge of guilt and looked at the box.
"You asked me before if I could paint." Fiona said softly. "Why?"
"These houses need repainting, rebuilding, and they need a new well." Raven said watching her.
"When do we begin?" Fiona asked softly, and Raven looked at the box and back to Fiona.
"We'll begin after you've gotten some old clothes on: there in the box." Raaven turned on his heel, to leave when He felt somethign odd.
He hadn't noticed Fiona move at all, but feeling her arm's hug him from behind didn't scare him.
But confused him to no end.
"Roger that Sir." The commander said into the microphone attached to his helmet, the radio was still beeping for incoming messages.
"Come in, Pilot 45 over." A strong voice said to the pilot.
"Pilot 45 here, over!" The Pilot said, checking the radar for any moving zoids.
"Any sign of them? Pilot 45? Over!"
"No, sign Sir. We lost them when they entered the caves. Over."
Karl sighed, and looked at Moonbay , Irvine Thomas and Dr.R. "Damn." He hissed before clicking the button to respond.
"We're sending a search party over there; please read me the coordinates over." Karl said.
"Cave S56°W Sir, and Caves S47°W, over." The man on the other line said in the redler.
Karl sighed, Raven used to just disappear over there, and even Karl went after him once and still didn't know where the boy disappeared to.
"We'll get Fiona soon." Karl said to the group watching the Major in both disbelief and hope.
