A/N in case you are wondering, Gavin is an American, in this chapter it'll will be explained why he's fighting for Neo-New Zealand. Oh and what hit the Commando, that'll be explained in this chapter also.

"Oh, sorry Rain, I thought that Domon would answer." Chibodee Crocket said as he heard Rain's voice and saw her face. She gave him a smile.

"He would but he's busy at the moment. He's prepping himself for an exhibition match against Neo-New Zealand." Rain said. That got an inquisitive look from Chibodee.

"Whose the pilot?" He asked, as his curiosity was perked by what she said.

"Some man named Gavin Martin. Why?" Rain asked. She noticed that his face was slight, like he saw a ghost or something.

"Wow, he must've recovered faster then I thought." Chibodee said solemnly.

"You know him?" Rain asked, her curiosity spiked.

"Not in so many words. About four or five years ago, Neo-America had a competition to see who would represent the nation in the Gundam Fight. I was one of the finalists, Gavin Martin was the other one. Gavin, he's a strange one, he could've taught Gentle Chapman a thing or two about shooting. Now, all of the Neo-American pilots would joke about how Gavin was born in the wrong century-" Chibodee said. But was interrupted by Rain.

"How far ahead of the times was he?" she asked. Chibodee gave her a stare that basically said don't do that again, but he answered.

"Nope, wrong way. He was born after his time. See, Gavin is not a fighter nor a martial artist, so he doesn't communicate through his fists. But he is a warrior and a soldier." Chibodee said.

"And if a fighter and a martial artist uses his fists, a soldier and a warrior would use his weapons as his means, right?" Rain said, as a realization came to her.

"Yeah, and his were a rifle and a knife. Anyway, the fight itself was brutal. We were both out of ammo and he didn't seem to let up. And he may not have had formal training, but each of his punches was like a jackhammer, strong but not fast. Well anyway, I won. But I kinda let my ego take over and rubbed him in the dirt. Next thing I know, he's standing over me, saying that one day, before either of us die, he will regain his honor. Last thing I heard about him was that he renounced his citizenship and allegiance to Neo-America and took his battered Gundam with him to where ever it went." Chibodee said, finishing his tale. Rain nodded, as she now knew that this man that Domon is about to fight has problems very nasty problems.

"Thanks Chibodee, I'm sure that will help us a lot knowing that." Rain said.

"Think nothing of it. I'm sure that Domon could put that knowledge to use." Chibodee said before he hanged up. Rain then took that time to make sure that she passed on what she just found out.

Finally it was time to test this pilots mettle, sure he wouldn't be able to defeat him, he was Domon Kasshu after all, and he had a right to be proud. This pilot, regardless of what Chibodee said shouldn't be that much of a problem. He looked at him with a certain degree of contempt, this man was more of a show boater than Chibodee, the way he was holding his knife, it was almost laughable. And with the shot of a gun, the fight started.

"Hey, man! A little word of warning, I may not look like much, but I give as good as I get, so be careful." The pilot jokingly called out to him. Domon noticed the headband he was wearing matched the one on his Gundam, probably a show of intimidation but it didn't phase him. But it was the speed that the other Gundam attacked with that amazed him, the knife was just a blur and flash of light. Obviously this man had experience, enough that his threat and warning was serious. But after a few minutes he started to see through this as being just flash, all show for the crowds. It was at this time that he chose to finish the fight, hitting the Neo-New Zealand Gundam hard in the right hand, causing the knife to fling away.

"You may have talked big, but now you're nothing without your weapon." Domon taunted to his opponent.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that." Was the other pilots response, as a fist came and delivered a punch with such force that it left and impression on the Burning Gundam's armor. And just like that, the punches came, slow and powerful, just like Rain told him they would from what Chibodee said. But after a while, he saw a pattern and made his move, grabbing one of the arms and throwing his opponent.

"Now you lose as nothing can save you." Domon said to him as he prepared to strike his opponent.

"This hand of mine is Burning Red. It's loud roar tells me to grasp victory! ERUPTING BURNING FINGER!!!" Domon said, as his attacked commenced, his opponent took a stance to try to defend him self from the ball of molten gas hurtling towards him. But when the dust cleared something was amiss. The opponents Gundam was covered head to toe with platinum colored armor and with a 'shunck' the plates started to fold back into themselves, revealing the original Gundam's look.

Gavin Martin on the other hand was quite relived, as he just survived something, that not a lot of other fighters had. And now was the time to attack, but before he did, something just popped in his head, a set of words with motions. And he did them.

"HYPER" he cried as he lifted up his arms and his Gundam seemed to duplicate and form a circle around the Burning Gundam.

"ARTILLERY" and as he said this, a ball of flame appeared in between each hand of the Commando copies.

"ASSAULT" and each copy threw there ball at the Burning Gundam and when they impacted there was a large explosion with an ear shattering noise and an eye searing flash.

Well there we have it, chapter two of this story, I hope that this clears a lot with why and what. Also I need to know what are the names of the Shuffle Alliance crew members from Neo-America, Neo-France, and Neo-China. And I need the hyper mode attacks for Maxter, Rose, Dragon, and Argo's as well as it's name. Hope you all can help me with those.
