The imposter Gundam raised its right hand which also began to glow green. Kyouka's eyes widden in shock as he recgonized the attack as his own. Unable to do anything, the imposter Gundam clamped down on Shining's head section, using Kyouka's Shining Finger attack.
"Kyouka-San!" Kai shouted as she and Ziyi watched in horror.
Kyouka could feel the weight of the imposter's hand closing in around the Gundam's head section. All the monitors in the cockpit began to flicker and buzz. Kyouka just gritted his teeth and continued to attack with his own Shining Finger attack.
"It even has the ability to use its opponents own attack against it!" Ziyi spoke in shock.
Kai watched with worries eyes as she watched the real Shining Gundam began to weaken.
Kyouka could see several warning grids spring up all over his monitors. He ingnored them and continued on the squeeze the opponents head section. The Gundam was overheating, causing the cockpit to heat up.
Just as Kyouka could feel himself weakening, a Dragon Claw grabbed the imposter Gundam's shoulder. Dragon stood behind the imposter Gundam, and pulled. The Dragon Claw, which had embedded itself into the imposter Gundam's armor, latched on tight and pulled the Gundam back.
The imposter Gundam lost his grip, releasing Shining Gundam's head. Shining did the same and staggered backwards. Rose Gundam stood behind Shining, and caught him.
"You all right Kyouka?" Francis asked.
"Get away!" Kyouka shouted as Shining pushed Rose away. "This is my fight!! I don't need you to interfere!"
"There's his gratitude for ya." Zhang answered, continuing to pull the imposter Gundam back.
The imposter Gundam turned around and faced Dragon Gundam. It removed a beam sword and prepared to strike. Dragon saw this coming and deatched its Dragon Claw. With a split second to spare, Dragon Gundam jumped aside just as the beam sword blade whished past.
Dragon Gundam extended one of its hands, summoning a Feilong Flag already stuck in the ground. Dragon held the Feilong Flag and awaited the charging imposter Gundam. Just as Dragon Gunda prepared to strike, Shining Gundam came from behind and drove its own beam sword blade into the imposter Gundam's arm.
"Get out of the way!!!" Kyouka shouted.
Dragon moved aside just as Shining slammed the imposter Gundam into the spot it once stood at. Shining removed its sword from the Gundam's armed and stabbed it again in a different place.
"So you think you can just go around impersonating whom ever you like, huh?" Kyouka asked, stabbing it again. "Well buddy, you picked the wrong Gundam to mess with!"
Just as Shining prepared to stab it again, the imposter Gundam emitted a strange aura. Shining froze, as did Kyouka. Rose and Dragon looked up, with Francis and Zhang watching in shock. Ziyi and Kai both looked at the glowing Gundam, just as shocked as the boys.
Never Ending Conflicts
Fight 25 - Shining's Transformation
The imposter Gundam released a strong blast of energy. Shining Gundam was sent hurdling into the air. Rose and Dragon were pushed back while Ziyi and Kai skidded across the ground. The still glowing imposter Gundam rose to its feet.
"Is everyone okay?" Zhang asked, when the rumbling stopped.
Francis looked up, his suit glowing a bit.
"What was that?" Francis asked.
Ziyi sat up, covered in a bit of dirt and grass. She looked at the glowing Gundam for a bit. She then turned her head to see Kai laying next to her.
"Kai...can you hear me?" Ziyi asked, shaking her.
Kai lay on the ground, unresponsive.
Kyouka slowly sat up. Shining Gundam was still able to run, though most of its systems had been damaged. He rubbed his head as he slowly stood up.
"What the hell was that?" Kyouka asked, looking up.
The imposter Gundam turned its head and faced the direction the Shining Gundam had flown in. The full moon was high in the cloudless night sky. Its eyes flashed red and it took off. Rose and Dragon watched in shock.
"Kyouka!! Look out!!" Francis shouted.
Just as Kyouka looked up, the imposter Gundam punched Shining in the head.
Sheen lay asleep in bed, but suddenly opened his eyes. On the other side of the world it was just becoming morning. Sheen sat up, a could wind blowing through his open window. He looked down at his stinging right to see the Queen of Spades crest glowing. Sheen looked out his window to see a blood red sun rising.
Shining was slammed again, its warning bars continuing to flash. Kyouka remained standing after the last blow for awhile, before sinking to one knee. Shining Gundam knelt down, looking up at the imposter Gundam before it. The imposter Gundam held Shining by its head as it raised its right hand into the air.
Kyouka watched as the Gundam's right hand was ingulfed in red and orange flames. His eyes widen as his pupils became small and dialted. His heart began to race and he saw flashes in his head.
"RAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Kyouka shouted as Shining began to glow.
Everyone looked up. Shining's armor began to glow in several places. The face mask split open, as well as other parts of Gundam. Kyouka's suit turned from black to red as he continued to scream in rage. Steam was released from the overheated Shining Gundam as it stood before the imposter Gundam in its new form.
"What?!" Spoke a shocked Zhang. "That's....Shining Gundam's Hyper Mode..."
"BASTARD!!! I WILL NOT LOSE A THIRD TIME!!" Kyouka shouted as the King of Hearts crest burned white on his right hand.
Shining Gundam reached forward, its right hand glowing green. It clamped down firmly on the imposter Gundam's and crushed it with all its might. Kyouka stood in the cockpit, still affected.
"SHINING FINGER!" Kyouka shouted, giving the imposter Gundam's head one good squeeze.
The head, as well as the rest of the imposter Gundam's armor cracked to pieces. Hyper Mode Shining Gundam released its decpapitated opponent and watched as it fell. Kyouka stood in the cockpit, panting heavily as he returned back to normal.
"Amazing." Zhang spoke. "Kyouka has managed to activate Shining's Hyper Mode."
Ziyi, who was holding the unconscious Kai in her arms for protection, looked down when she felt her move.
"What happened?" Kai asked as she sat up. "Is Kyouka-San all right?!"
"Yes." Ziyi answered.
"What about the imposter Gundam?" Kai asked.
Ziyi pointed to the decapitated, odd-looking Gundam laying on the ground. It was a dark green color and resembled more of a giant robot then Gundam. Its severed head lay a few yards away.
Kai looked up at the defeated mecha in front of her. Her attention soon shifted to the transformed Shining. She stood up, looking at the Gundam in awe.
"Is that..."
"Yes. Shining Gundam's Hyper Mode." Ziyi replied as she stood up too. "Kyouka was able to access it during the last few minutes of the fight. Whatever happened to him, triggered its activation."
Kai just stood there, looking at the changed Shining Gundam.
