Chapter 1
Domon strolled the crowded streets of Shanghai, looking for Rain. He lost sight of her awhile back at one of the food booths. It was a dim street and he couldn't see most of the other people's faces. He climbed a ladder and looked at the whole scene. Even in this darkness, he could see her. He jumped from wall to wall landed in front of her. She dropped her bag of fruit when he fell right in front of her. He gently bent down and got the fruit back into the bag. They walked side by side talking. No one knows what they talked about because of the loudness of the crowd.
Eerily, the street seemed silent and the crowd was gone. Domon stopped Rain. He felt something here. Quickly, he grabbed Rain and pulled her out of the way. A glowing rope appeared right where Rain was standing.
"Stay here," he ordered and quickly dashed up the building.
He gave chase to what ever had fired that rope down. Rain stood alone down on the street. She waited patiently under a street light. She felt a light wind flow down from above. Then a man landed in front of her.
"Domon, don't you ever get tired of doing that?" she said, walking towards him.
She leaned into him. The man put his cold metallic arm around her. Immediately, she looked up and saw a total stranger. "Domon!" she cried. Domon heard her cry and dashed back to her. He saw Rain in the arms of another man, fainted.
"Get your hands off of her!" he charged at the man.
Instantly, the man's robotic arm lifted and fired out one glowing rope from each finger. The ropes wrapped around Domon's legs, wrist, and neck. The ropes pulled Domon closer to the man, although he was fighting it. Finally, the man grabbed Domon by the neck and held him close to get a better look at him.
"Who are you?" Domon asked.
A smirk appeared on the man's face, "An old enemy."
"Huh?"
"I was thinking about taking Rain again but I figured, that wouldn't do any good now. Although, she is a beautiful girl."
"You keep your hands off of her!"
"You won't have to worry about that. Watch your back, boy. You never know what might be behind it."
The man disappeared and Domon collapsed onto the ground. Rain crawled to him and put her hands on his face. He was colder than ice. "Wake up, Domon!"
He turned his head towards her. His subconscious was running him now. The whole experience brought back a flood of memories that caused him to end up like this. Then, he snapped out of it. He sat up, still dazed from the experience. Rain held his head in her chest.
Many days after that, Domon was in Lunark, the capital of the Lunar dominion, for the Gundam Finals. He had fought hard for the past year and finally made it to the top. He roamed the streets, looking for a good place to stay while the Finals were going on. A special area was made just for the fight. It was massive. Not only did it have thirteen different fighting rings. It had an entire oceanic below the rings. A few miles down the way was the Frios crater. That would serve as the finalist battleground.
Domon wasn't to concern with any of that, just with looking for a place to stay. He wandered by the ocean area of the Gundam Fight Zone. Then he saw a boat that he remembered from four years ago. He strolled up to it and looked for that old man. The old man popped his head out of his cabin and looked at Domon. He stared for a bit and then remembered who he was, "Ah, Domon! How long has it been since I last saw you?"
"Four years, gramps."
"You've come to find a place to stay again? You know you are always welcome on my boat."
Domon jumped down and clasped hands with the old man. Domon looked around and asked, "Where are the kids?"
"They're back on earth. I put them into a school so they won't be seeing the Finals live this time."
"That's what you think," a young girl's voice said.
Both the boy and girl crawled out from under a box. The old man nearly killed them for scaring him like that but was kind of not to.
"Wow, both of you have grown well I was gone," Domon said, kneeling down to them both.
They were speechless but had smiles on their faces. Domon heard a horn blare outside. It was the call for all the Gundam Fighters to make their way to the main arena, The Stronghold. It was massive. The ring along was one mile in diameter. The floating Gundam Monitoring Building could be attached and detached when needed. It was only attached for this ceremonial entrance for all of the Gundams.
"Well, I must be off. You two stay out of trouble and let Han fish for once."
"Okay," they said in unison.
Domon dashed off and met up with Rain at the main arena.
"I told you to come early."
"I know, I know. I was busy finding a place to stay."
"I figured as much. Well?"
"Oh, yeah. RISE GUNDAM!"
Out of the water rose the Burning Gundam. He hopped in it and strolled onto the arena floor.
"And coming unexpectantly, the Burning Gundam! The pilot is Domon Kasshu and was the champion of the last Gundam Finals," the announcer exclaimed.
Domon strolled down the walkway and watched the other Gundam Fighters walk down. He noticed the Bolt Gundam, Dragon Gundam, and the Gundam Rose come down too but Gundam Maxter didn't come for awhile. Domon wondered why Chibodee showed up late but he would have to ask later. Then the announcer paused.
"I have just received this message. Three Gundams will be in the Finals but are only fighting in the Frios Crater," announcer said. "It says to introduce them anyway," he muttered. "I give the Execution Trio!"
Three Gundams fell from the sky wearing black cloaks. "These three Gundam Fighters are mercenary Fighters. They are being paid to make the fight interesting. They will be under the same rules as all of you fighters. Now, I introduce Gundam Executioner number 1: Gundam Electrix!"
One of the Gundams tore off the black cloak and held a staff in the air. Electricity flowed over the orb at the end on it. The Gundam directed the staff at the ocean and fired a bolt. The water exploded and sent heavy waves through the sea.
"Uh, well, Gundam Executioner number 2: Gundam Cutter!"
A second Gundam tore off its cloak and unveil two moon crescent axes. It did a quick dance of its axes.
"What a showoff," Said said.
Then, one of the axes came at him but stopped. The axe was on a chain and it hit its maxim length right before it hit the Dragon Gundam's head. The axe reeled in and the Gundam caught the axe. Domon recognized that attack from a few days earlier.
"And Gundam Executioner number 3: Iron Maiden Gundam!"
The last Gundam tore off its cloak. It was plainer than any Gundam ever made. It was designed as a female Gundam and had lots of holes covering most of its body. Spikes popped out of the Gundam's arms, legs, back, and head.
"And now, the chairman, Mister Henroko!"
A loud uproar came from the stands as the chairman walked up to the microphone. He held up his hand and gave a big smile. Then he said, "Silence."
The crowd was silent.
"Welcome to this Gundam Finals tournament! And yes, I know about the last rule of the Gundam Fight, 'All Gundam fights are to be on Earth.' This has been recently changed for the sake of all of the strenuous traveling all of the Gundam Fighters have made and plus, I can alter or eliminate the rules during this time."
Domon had a blank expression on his face and almost fell over because of that comment. All of the other fighters felt the same way.
"I would like to make one rule, no fighting, assassination, or any form of violence amongst the fighters before or after the fights. If this rule is not taken seriously, the Gundam fighter will be discharged from the Gundam Fight and the country will be banned from participating in the next Gundam Fight. This will also affects people who LIE about being attacked and were not. The same punishment will be given to those liars. Without further waiting, will the Execution Trio light the torch above this building?"
The three dark Gundams stepped up and stood in a triangle formation. The Gundam Cutter launched one axe at the torch and hooked it into the torch bowl. The Iron Maiden Gundam ran up the chain quickly and fired several spikes in bowl and tossed in a ball filled with a fluid. She flipped in the air and landed by the bowl. The Gundam Electrix ran up the chain next and fired a bolt into the air and it landed into the bowl, igniting the fluid, and landed on the other side of the bowl. Then the Gundam Cutter ran up his own chain, jumped into the air landed in front of the bowl and reeled in the chain and caught the axe. The flames exploded upward but shimmered down.
Everyone, even the fighters, were in awe of the whole thing. It was only a few seconds but enough time to impress the crowd. Domon looked solely at the Gundam Cutter. You're all mine Gundam Cutter, he thought.
"Then come and get me Domon Kasshu!" the Gundam Cutter's pilot said.
"What?!" Domon exclaimed.
"You said I'm yours. Come and get me, if you dare."
"As I did in the last tournament, I will defeat EVERY opponent I face to get to you!"
"We shall see and be waiting."
Domon strolled the crowded streets of Shanghai, looking for Rain. He lost sight of her awhile back at one of the food booths. It was a dim street and he couldn't see most of the other people's faces.
