Another Chance
By Shizuka-chan16
A/N- Hiya folks, this is my newest fanfic and it popped into my head on the way to Florida. Basically it answers the question: what happened to Allenby after Domon and Rain rode off for a new life? Can the 17-year-old girl from Neo Sweden start over again by entering the 14th Gundam fight?
Chapter 1- Request
She found herself running through a dark labyrinth, one that seemed to stretch out with every step she took. Her breath came in shallow gasps and sweat ran down her forehead. Again, she made another turn, feeling her tired legs groan beneath her.
Then, she saw him, or rather his face. Allenby's face lit up immediately. "Domon!" She tried to run faster, but only grew more tired.
He looked as though he was looking right at her, though she could only see the outline of his expression. Her pounding heart thudded against her chest even harder. Domon was right there in front of her, her one true love! She had to claim him, to make him hers once again. But then.
Rain's face appeared beside Domon's. Allenby slid to a halt, eyes wide. "No."
Rain smiled at the teal-haired girl before turning towards Domon. Their images began to fade away into the darkness.
"No! Come back!" Allenby jumped to her feet to begin running after them, but her knees gave out and she fell to the cold, hard ground. She lay there on her stomach, clenching her fists and then punching the ground. "DOMON!!!!"
.......
"DOMON!!!!!!!"
Allenby's eyes snapped open and she gasped for air. For a brief moment, she couldn't remember where she was, but a quick glance about her small white bed confirmed it. She was in her bedroom.
The Swedish girl sighed before sitting up. Upon placing a hand to her forehead, she found that she had been sweating badly. "How many more mornings do I have to wake up like this?" she demanded to herself.
This had to have marked two weeks since the dreams of Domon started to plague her. Allenby had thought that she would get over losing him with time and that she would be able to move on. But the Gundam fight was long over. Domon and Rain had gone to Earth to "be together". The Shuffle Alliance members had also gone their own ways.
Chibodee was going back into the wrestling ring once again to prove his might and maintain his representation of Neo America. What's more, it looked like he and Shirley were starting to go out. Sai Saici was taking an intermission from his training to visit Cecil back in her colony. George had earned himself an even more luxurious life at the French palace, as well as the princess's hand in marriage. And finally, Argo and Nastasha had gone off somewhere into space to find a new life of their own.
Everyone had found someone by the end of the big battle. All except for Allenby, a painful realization indeed, for she had set her eyes on the one man that she couldn't have. The one man who she felt she could ever relate to. The one man whose eyes sparked in the same way hers did whenever a challenge was thrown at them. She had fallen in love with Domon Kasshu, the star of Neo Japan.
But alas, it was never meant to be. The moment she told him what had happened with Rain, she knew his heart belonged to hers and only hers. So, she decided that she would see to it that they were reunited, to the point where she even had to tell Domon how to free Rain. Yes, it was Allenby who had truly saved the day.
But such a victory was so.empty, so pointless. Now that the 13th Gundam fight was over, and she had no one to return to, what was left to do?
Allenby rolled out of bed and onto her feet. Stumbling over to the bathroom mirror, she studied herself, something she had rarely taken the time to do. "Why did I enter in the first place?" she wondered aloud. "What was my objective?"
It wasn't for honor for she felt like she had little to be proud of in her home nation. After all, she had grown up as a penniless orphan there, which had nothing but training and doctoring.
It wasn't to avenge anyone. Though she had lost her parents, it wasn't like it was anyone's fault. And if they had been alive, the last thing they would have wanted was for her to be a fighter.
And above all, it certainly wasn't for love. Allenby had never been the type that would swoon over a guy. So she had no clue that she would be doing so the moment after Domon challenged her at that arcade.
She was about to recall the events of that night when the phone rang.
BRIIIINNNNG! BRIIIINNNG!
Scowling, she made her way across the room, feeling her bare feet upon the cold wood floor. Reaching onto her nightstand for the receiver, she sat down on the bed and crossed her legs. "Hello?"
"Is this Allenby Beardsly?"
Allenby knew that voice all to well and suppressed an annoyed groan. "Good morning, Senator Green." She mumbled.
"I'll get straight to the point, Allenby." He went on. "We want you to try for Gundam fight 14."
"What?"
"Yes, even though you didn't win this time, you did so well that we believe you could have another chance. What do you say?"
She hadn't planned on being invited back into the next big fight. But as she was about to say no, to explain that she was already wealthy and had no reason to fight anymore, she thought differently.
An image of Domon's smiling face flashed across her mind. She shook her head to dispel it. "Yes sir, I'll do it."
"Well said. We will send you the paperwork tomorrow then." Senator Green hung up.
Allenby placed her phone back down and walked over to her window. The sun was shining down upon the colony's turf and lighting up the city. A glimmer of hope also lit up Allenby's blue-green eyes. 'This is your chance, Allenby. You can find yourself out there once again.'
