The Guardian Force:

Fiona was in her room crying for Van. Thomas, Moonbay, and Irvine were listening in.

Thomas asked Moonbay, "How long has Fiona been in there crying?" Moonbay answered, "About 5 minutes now." Thomas said, "I wish there was something we could do to help her." Karl came up to the hallway and he told them, "Guys, come over to the battle planning room." "Ok." They said in unison. They walked over to the battle room and Karl opened the doors. They all walked over to a round table and sat down. Karl pulled out a map of Gylossia and the Hellic Republic. "Alrighty then, listen up, up near Red River we were beaten by the rebels, Van is missing, I propose a counter-strike." "I want to mobilize a force of 60,000 strong pilots and head out to the rebel encampment tonight at 7:03 PM." Irvine said, "Wait, you can't expect to rally that many men in a few hours, it's impossible, besides almost all of our men our at their homes now." Karl slammed his fist on the table, "They will be rallied, briefed and mobilized on schedule, is that clear." Thomas and the rest said, "Quite clear sir." Karl then said, "good. Begin mobilizing now." With that they all got out of their chairs and walked out of the room. Thomas quickly ran to Fiona's room and knocked on the door. Thomas still heard her crying, Thomas said, "Fiona, may I come in?" Fiona's ears perked up and she said in reply, "I guess, sure come in." Fiona walked over to the room door and unlocked the handle lock so Thomas could walk in. "Ok, come on in." She said. Thomas opened the door and walked in. Thomas took her hand and kissed it and said, "I heard you crying earlier and I decided to come by and check up on you." "Oh yeah, Karl had me and Irvine mobilize a quick strike force by tonight, and then we shall at 7:03 tonight attack the rebel encampment and destroy them forever." Fiona looked at Thomas's eyes and said, "But what about Van, your brother seems to have forgotten about him, suppose in an artillery strike you guys end up blowing up a tent with him in it and end up killing him." Thomas then said, "Fiona, listen to me please." "If Van doesn't return in a year, can you consider being my girlfriend or fiancée." Fiona heard this and thought in her head `how could he, in a time like this, van's missing and all he cares about is marrying me or getting me pregnant.' "I'll think about it. Give me a year, and I'll tell you my answer."
