Prologue 2

Shinjuku! Shadow Spawn Seen!

Some months later….

"My Master, the Dark Gundam, hear my words. Your brother, Domon Kasshu, has arrived in Shinjuku. He is looking for you and the children. What do you want me to do? Should I take the children to the Guyana Highlands, or make a strike at the King of Hearts?"

In the cavernous underground beneath Shinjuku, the red light washed over Master Asia's face as he gazed up at Kyoji Kasshu lounging on the Dark Gundam's shoulder. Beside him lay three sleeping children, a boy and two girls. The Undefeated of the East watched in silence as Kyoji gently touched the cheek of the younger sleeping girl, brush back the dark brown curls of the sleeping boy. Asia could see the dark lashes curled against their cheeks as they slept. The little girl was clutching a doll with bright silver hair that shone like pink topaz gems in the blood-red light.

"The plan continues, Master Asia," Kyoji replied, and his soft voice carried through the silent chamber. "Let nothing happen to Domon or his partner."

"And the four strong fighters from Neo-China, Neo-Russian, Neo-France, and Neo-America?"

"Make them ours."

Hikaru bolted upright in bed, shuddering in the face of her nightmare. She didn't want to remember Shinjuku, didn't want to think about the quake, her father, Akki almost dying, the Shuffle Alliance, any of it.

She settled back down into the nest of blankets Uncle Domon had set up for her at the left foot of Shining Gundam and shoved her thumb into her mouth. Maybe seven was too old to be sucking your thumb, but she didn't care right now, as long as it kept the dreams away.
