Face Behind a Mask
Chapter 1 - Guyana Getaway
Nuriko: Sore de wa Gundam fight...ready?! Go! This story is dedicated to my friend, Kenji and her love for G-Gundam and Schwarz.
Kenji: *cheers* Yay for Schwarz!
Nuriko: :D Okay...well first off here are the oh so wonderful disclaimers I have to add so people will hopefully not sue me. First off I do not own g-gundam or any of the characters in it. Second I do not own the music lyrics I use in the beginning of each chapter unless I say they are original. The only things I own are the characters Mallory and Erin and their gundams, Yin-Yang and Kickbox. Thank you and enjoy the fic!
Oh yeah! And if anyone here is from the Shuffle Alliance forms you may know me as Ryuichi Sakuma *bows* On with the fic! Finally!
'I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here I know
cause nothings going right
and everything's a mess
and no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you'

A girl, no older than 20 sat alone at a small campfire in the forest. She had long blondish-white hair that fell past her shoulders. Her eyes were set on the sky as music played from not too far off. The girl was known as Erin, fighter for Neo-Korea. She was camped out in a small forest located on the east side of the Guyana Highlands and at the time was enjoying a long book on the history of wars.
It was the first annual Gundam Training Vacation in the Guyana Highlands and Erin as well as many other pilots had gathered here. Even the Shuffle Alliance had made an appearance here.
"Um, 'scuse me mate, can I join you?" Came an accented voice from behind her. A girl with bright red hair stood behind her. "My name's Mallory, Neo-Australia's gundam fighter."
Erin stood and shook hands with the other girl. "Of course you can join me," Erin replied with a small smile before reseating herself. Mallory took a seat next to the other girl and stared up into the sky that was darkening slightly due to sunset.
"Pretty amazing here, eh?" asked Mallory.
"Yeah, gorgeous," The two sat in silence for a few minutes before approaching voices began to near.
Into the clearing stepped a man in his early twenties. He was dressed in blue and white and had red orange hair and purple colored eyes. It was none other then Neo-France himself, George de Sand.
"Ah, excuse moi mademoiselles," he said politely. "Do you mind if my friends and I camp here with you tonight?"
"It's fine with us" Erin said quietly.
"Thank you. Domon, everyone, over here!"
"Coming!" Answered a female voice. Into the campsite stepped Rain Mikamura, partner to Domon Kasshu. Following her was the "King of Hearts", Domon. He has shoulder length black hair and was wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. He was definitely nothing less than attractive.
Next, was a boy looking about 16 or 17. He was known as Sai Sici, neo China's gundam fighter. He was wearing a traditional Chinese outfit and had his raven black hair pulled back into a ponytail.
Following him was Chibodee Crocket the fighter of Neo-America. He was dressed in jeans, a red t-shirt and jacket. His hair was a dark blue and highlighted in the front with pink.
Bringing up the rear was Argo Gulskii. He was known as Neo-Russia's fighter and holder of the Blot Gundam. He stood quietly as his friends talked among themselves.
Erin, of course knew all of these people because a year ago she had attended the Gundam Fight and her friend was probably the biggest fan girl ever for these 5 guys, strange enough. In the Gundam Fight Korea had not taken place, for unknown reasons, but when the time came she'd be ready.
"Thanks again," George had said to the two girls. "Everywhere we go someone wants to challenge us and all we want is to eat and rest for now" he said, exasperated.
"Well...to thank us, can I have an autograph?" Mallory joked.
"Sure, I'll even add my phone number!" Chibodee replied with a wink.
George shook his head and mumbled "idiot" under his breath.
"That's Chibodee for you," Domon smirked.
"Hey, I heard that!"
"Um...by the way, I know who you are but we haven't exactly been properly introduced. My name is Erin Lee, fighter of the Yin-Yang Gundam. I fight for Neo-Korea," Erin said calmly, scanning the others.
"And I'm Mallory Santago, owner of the Kickbox Gundam. It's very nice to meet all of you"
"Bonjour"
"Hello"
"Hi"
"Sup?"
"Yo!"
"Nice to meet you," were the replies received. Suddenly Domon whipped around and threw a rock into a tree standing a few meters away.
"Seems like your senses are all they used to be," said a voice, Domon's eyes widened.
"No, impossible. Schwarz?" asked Domon, not believing his ears.
"Exactly," Schwarz Bruder, fighter of Neo-Germany jumped from the tree and landed in front of the others. He was dressed in his usual coat, long pants, knee boots and mask.
"But...I thought you were...dead..."
"Let's just say that someone gave me a second chance," he said in his usual direct tone.
'There is something about Neo-Germany's fighter I just can't explain' thought Erin. Her eyes looked over him. 'What is it...?' She felt a small jab.
"You're staring," said Mallory with a little laugh. Erin blushed and quickly changed the direction of her gaze.
"It's still early you know..." spoke Rain while looking at her watch. "8:00 pm"
"Hmm...well...wanna play a game?" Erin asked. The others blinked.
"Here, I'll show you Domon and Rain, you might have played this game before since it originated in Japan and it's really popular there too," Erin led them out of the forest and into a field that was paved over with a small concrete section. Many large machines were set up. "It's a really good form of exercise and rhythm to help in Gundam fights so when they built the near by town in anticipation for this 'get away' they added things to help us pilots train and have fun. I believe there is also a gym around here...somewhere," The others walked over and examined it.
"Oh!" This is one of those dancing games, isn't it?" asked Sai.
"Yup, DDR, Pump Perfect, Para Para Paradise, Pump it Up, and many others. As well as electronic fighting machines," Erin stated. "Want a go at it?" No reply.
"So everyone is scared then?" she guessed as she hopped on the nearest machine, Pump Perfect.
"I'll go," Mallory said as she joined Erin "But I'm sure you'd rather have someone else as a partner" she says with a small wink.
"Eh?" Erin blinked as they set up a normal 2-player mode and chose a song.
The music began and a Christmas mix produced by BanYa started up.
The two hit almost everything perfectly and went on to 2 other stages, finally failing at the last one because of too many faults on both of their behalves.
"Wow," Chibodee exclaimed.
"Wanna try? You can play with someone else on one of the other machines," Erin pointed to the DDR machine.
"I'll go too! It can't be any harder then cooking!" Sai Sici jumped up and ran over to the machine.
"Um...how do you work it?" Erin sighed.
"Oh boy..."
"I'll help them, don't worry," Mallory walked over to the 2 guys.
"Anybody else want to try?" Erin asked the people left.
"We'll try, won't we Domon?" Rain dragged the other member of the Neo-Japan team away.
"Uh..." was all that he could say in reply, not wanting to fight with Rain at the time.
"It'll be fun!" Rain said cheerfully as they stepped into the dance station.
"I'm exhausted..." Erin said as she sat down on the ground. She pulled out a bottle of water and took a drink.
"So what has the famed Shuffle Alliance been doing since the Gundam Fight?" Erin asked George.
"Nothing really. We all basically returned to our nations and continued to practice" he shrugged.
"I see"
"And why didn't you nation compete?"
"I don't know...I guess they though all of us as a whole weren't ready"
"Well I hope to see you at the next fight then"
"Me too, I hope to see all of you there...I think I better get to sleep or something...see you in the morning," Erin waved and ran off.
Tomorrow was the opening ceremony for the training camp; it would be a long day...
Nuriko: That was a little slow moving wasn't it? Ne...please be nice and review with no flames. Suggestions are good though :D This is my first g-gundam fic so please don't be too hard ^^
Kenji: Scchhhwwarrrzzz ^^ Hell-o Jell-o.
Nuriko: Green jello.
Kenji: We shall find Schwarz and give him green jello!
Nuriko: okay ^^;;; Hey...where are Bakura and Malik? Dare I ask...
Bakura and Malik: SHINING FINGER! *jump out at Kenji and Nuriko*
Kenji and Nuriko: O_O;;
Domon: that is MY phrase! *chases the two Egyptians in his gundam*
Nuriko: Eh heh...Domon wa pika pika. ^^ Stay tuned for the next chapter..."Introductions"!
