Didn't expect to get reviews so quick, especially not positive ones. : )
Than for the reviews, and I see what you're saying Sora. I guess I was a
bit too descriptive, but I'll just blame that on my English teacher.
Seriously though, I'm trying to be slightly less specific this chapter.
Glad to see you liked seeing Chibodee, he's my favorite character too. I
might have been too vague the last chapter, but the Expert Gundam is
basically the most advanced Gundam mentioned thus far, it is also important
to note that the Gundam Maxter's repairs were rushed when Muteki arrived.
He had a pretty large advantage over Chibodee, but don't worry about it.
Muteki will definitely take his share of beatings as the story progresses;
I won't give anything away though. I'm going to try using a standard
English grammar rule that I completely forget about so far.; starting a new
paragraph when a new person speaks. Doh!
About the person wanting to see Shining fingers, what a coincidence, I mean I won't say anything. _ _ _ _
Plus, I've decided to add the Stalker. Why, you ask? Simply put, G Gundam isn't G Gundam without the stalker.
Mysterious Man: We last left off with Muteki winning his first match, the fact that it was against a member of the shuffle alliance makes this an even greater accomplishment, but the true challenges lie ahead. What lies in store for our rookie hero? Can he unravel the mysteries surrounding Chapman of Neo England? I can't tell you folks, but this is going to be one hell of a match. READY, GO!!!!!!!!
Chapter 3: The Champion of Neo England. Enter the King of Hearts!
Muteki lay stretched out on the beach chair on the rooftop pool of the hotel. "Ah, this is the life," said Muteki with a yawn.
"Is there a mister Mootaka here?" came the voice of the typical fancy butler. Muteki was intending to sock him, but he'd never get another vacation if he did that.
"That's me, whaddya want?" Muteki responded in an irritated tone. The butler handed him a phone, which he had been holding with a towel to protect his hands from it's obviously acid-like texture. Muteki put it to his ear, "Yeah, whaddya want?"
"Don't talk to me like that!" was the irritated response. Oh no, it was Gyoutou. 'DAMN!' he thought.
"I'm sorry, Gyoutou, I thought it was someone else! So.what's up?" he responded with the best nice guy voice he could muster.
"Fine, whatever you say. You have to pack your things now; my superiors want you to look into something there. They say that fog has been rolling in suddenly and that mobile suits have been sighted near the city," responded Gyoutou.
"Right, and this concerns me how? I'm not private eye, I'm a gundam fighter!" Muteki angrily shouted into the phone as he squeezed it hoping the pain somehow reached Gyoutou.
"They think this has something to do with a former champion residing there. His name is Chapman; he is the representative of Neo England. Besides, it's possible you'll meet some worthy opponents there. Many gundam fighters arrive to take a shot at the multiple time champion," said Gyoutou, trying his been to ignore that last response.
".....I'm there!" shouted Muteki as he turned off the phone and dashed back to his room. About ten minutes later he emerged with his bags. He found Gyoutou already in the lobby waiting for him. 'Damn he's fast' was the first thing that came to mind.
"What took you so long? The ship is ready to leave," Gyoutou angrily called out. Chibodee was also out in the lobby talking with some of his fans.
"Hey, Muteki, come back sometime. I'd like to have a rematch someday," Chibodee said to him.
"You bet, Chibodee," responded Muteki. He followed Gyoutou out to an airstrip and got in the ship.
Several hours later, the ship landed and he stepped out with a long yawn. He opened his eyes, but didn't realize they had opened at first. Everything was veiled by fog. "Um..Gyoutou you do see that fog right?" he called to the creator of the Expert Gundam as he stepped off the ship.
"Yes, this must be the fog they were talking about. Hmph, it's so thick I can't see my fingers when I wave them in front of my face," he said, but he was interrupted by a loud sound.
"That sounded like a powerful rifle, could someone be having a gundam fight?" asked Muteki. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and an explosion muted out everything for as far as the eye could see, if the fog wasn't there that is. "I don't like the sound of that. Hey, I can see some lights. We should head there and find out where this Chapman guy lives," added Muteki after the explosion stopped.
They carefully walked along in the direction of the light; finally they found themselves in front of a large door. "It looks like we found it ourselves," said Gyoutou. Muteki raised the large knocker and bashed it against the door several times. There was no response. He did it again. Finally, after about fifteen minutes a gray haired man answered the door. "Sorry for the wait, I was out for a few minutes," were the old man's words, he stepped aside and they walked in.
"So, what brings you two here?" asked the old man curiously.
"We're looking for a guy named Chapman," responded Muteki.
"Ah see, well, you're standing right next to him. For what reason have you come to visit me?" asked Chapman.
Muteki turned to Gyoutou who whispered to him about being careful of his response. Muteki nodded and responded, "I am a gundam fighter, I heard you were very good and wanted to see for myself."
"Ah, well I'd be glad to have a match with you at sometime, but now is not the time. I just finished a match, you see," responded Chapman as he pushed open two large doors to an unnecessarily large dining room. "My wife, could you fetch some tea for our guests?" he asked his wife who sitting at one end of the table. She nodded and left. It was then that Muteki noticed two other people there. One was a black haired man with a scar and a long red cape. His face seemed familiar somehow. A picture maybe? He wasn't sure.
The other was a rather attractive young woman with brown hair and blue eyes. By the look on Muteki's face, Chapman guessed that he needed an explanation. "Ah, where are my manners? This is Domon Kasshu, the fighter from Neo Japan. He is also a member of the shuffle alliance. We intend to have a match later. That girl there is his gundam partner, her name is Rain," said Chapman in his gentleman voice.
Muteki nodded, "So you're a gundam fighter? I knew your face was familiar," said Muteki looking Domon's direction.
"Yeah, I am," responded Domon, as if he were speaking to a child. Muteki swallowed his pride and took a seat at the table.
"Say, do you think I could your match Chapman? I'd like to see if the rumors of your skill are true," asked Muteki.
"But of course," responded Chapman. Muteki didn't get it, he didn't seem like the type of guy who would cheat in a gundam match, so what was all this fog about?
His wife returned with a tray of tea and a couple pills that she handed to Chapman, it seemed as if she were trying to hide them. Chapman opened them and poured them in his tea. The girl, Rain, seemed to notice this as well and wore a look of suspicion.
"I have to use the bathroom, may I be excused?" asked Rain. Chapman and his wife merely nodded and she left the room, Muteki wondered what she was up to.
"Well, I think I've waited long enough. Are you ready for our match Domon Kasshu?" asked Chapman.
"It's about time," Domon responded. He lifted his arm in the air and snapped his fingers. Outside, a rumbling was heard and the Shining Gundam rose up beside the window. Domon hopped out onto it's hand and into the cockpit.
"I think I'll watch from my own gundam, to get best view," said Muteki as he looked out the window. "Come to me, Expert Gundam!" he shouted and a dot appeared on the horizon. It increased in size rapidly, then stopped immediately and landed outside. Muteki hopped in and backed off out of the range of the fight.
Chapman and Domon were no ready to square off, suddenly the thick fog returned and Muteki lost sight of both of them. "That fog again, this has to have something to do with the fight!" shouted Muteki. Suddenly he was hit in the shoulder by a burst of plasma energy. He wobbled forward and clutched his shoulder. "What the hell?" he said as he turned and saw another mobile suit. He saw several of them. "So, Chapman is concealing a few helpers in fog to make sure he wins his matches?! There'll be none of this!" Muteki shouted.
He drew the blade and swung it at the nearest gundam, it exploded as the sword ripped it into two pieces. He jet boosted forward, cutting down gundams as he went.
"What's all this for Chapman?!" shouted Domon. Confused by how Chapman could still hit him from such long range in the fog. Not to mention there were gundams attacking him from all sides. "I'll defeat every last one of you!" shouted Domon as he boosted forward, slicing through the gundams attacking him. He was hit in the back with yet another rifle shot. "ARGH!" he exclaimed and he fell forward.
"Fight like a man Chapman!" complained Domon as he was caught in another barrage of blasts. Domon traced where they came from and dashed in that direction.
"I can't see a thing in this fog!" shouted Muteki as he continued tearing apart anything that got close enough for him to see. He suddenly got an idea, he extended the sword and activated the Mystic Swordplay technique. He didn't attack, but the sword glowed brightly and he could see much better. Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice, "STOP!"
It was Chapman's wife, Domon had his gundam's hand clamped over the head of Chapman's gundam. He was slowly crushing it. Muteki couldn't hear what happened next, but suddenly a bright light engulfed Chapman's gundam and he collapsed to the ground. By the time he got there, Domon was preparing to leave.
"So, you're the King of Hearts? I heard a lot about you from Chibodee," said Muteki. Domon turned and seemed disinterested in talking with the rookie fighter.
"Yeah, that's me, so you've met Chibodee?" said Domon.
"Yeah, I just battled with him a couple days ago. He told me you're a great fighter," Muteki said, hinting at his point.
Domon caught the hint and responded, "Why should I waste my time with you?"
"It's not proper for a fighter such as yourself to turn down a match. It's your choice, but it's certainly not the honorable route to retreat," Muteki provoked.
"Fine! If you're so eager to lose then come get some!" said Domon.
"Domon! You can't fight, the Shining Gundam is slightly damaged from the last battle!" Rain protested.
"I don't need my full power to defeat this rookie. Rise, Gundam!!!!!!!!" shouted Domon as he snapped his fingers. His gundam rose from a pond nearby and he hopped in. Muteki's was already nearby, he jumped in.
"Good, now I finally get to see if what Chibodee said was true," Muteki said with a wide grin. "On guard, Domon Kasshu!" he shouted as he dashed forward this the sword at his side. He swung it, it caught Domon across the chest. The sheer weight of it would have been enough to send him toppling, but it was very sharp as well. Domon fell backward and rolled away from a downward thrust. He kicked Muteki in the back of the leg, causing the Expert Gundam to topple backwards. The sword's weight caused it to sink deep into the rock he landed on.
"Hah, looks like your sword is stuck. Let's see how you fare now!" Domon said as he nailed Muteki in the jaw with a right hook. Muteki stepped back a bit, but he kept his grip tightly on the planted sword so he wouldn't lose his balance. He shoulder tackled Domon, sending him far enough away to buy him some time.
"Damnit, now I'm pissed. Don't expect any mercy!" Domon shouted as he got to his feet and charged again. 'Damnit, think Muteki!' he scolded himself. Domon reeled his right arm backward and the right hand of the gundam began to glow.' That's it!' Muteki thought to himself with a new idea. He jumped in front of the rock and stood his ground.
"SHINING..FINGEEEEEEEERSSS!!!!!" he shouted as he thrust his arm forward to grab Muteki's gundam. Muteki was waiting for this, he activated the thrusters in his wings and grabbed onto the hilt of the sword as he rose, the Shining Fingers attack destroyed the rock and he lifted it up with him. "What?! Damn, he moved!" shouted Domon, then he realized what had just happened. His eyes widened as Muteki came down on him with the sword, once again knocking him on his back.
Muteki was smiling, "This is quite the fight," he said.
"I suppose you're better than I gave you credit for, but you're still eons away from me!" said Domon as he jumped to his feet. He jumped backward as Muteki boosted forward for another swing. He stopped just out of Muteki's swing range, then hammered him over the head as he missed. He jumped up and came down with a jumping kick on his back, he then stopped on his back repeatedly. "You can't beat me, why do you even try?" said Domon not expecting an answer.
Muteki spoke through grit teeth, "I continue to fight to improve myself, I will not stop until I am the best and bring honor to my country!" he shouted as he rolled. Domon lost his balance and was met with an elbow to the jaw. Domon felled to his back once again, both gundams were beaten up pretty badly.
"So, I can't beat you with regular techniques. Once again, you have surprised me, but this match ends now!" Domon said as he pulled his right arm back once again. Muteki followed in suit.
"SHINING...FINGEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS!" they said in unison as they both thrust their arms forward. Muteki cried out in pain as the Shining Gundam barreled right through his arm with it's own then latched onto the chest of the Expert Gundam. "Well done..Domon Kasshu, you are as good as they say," Muteki said before the explosion rocked his gundam and it shut down.
So, that's it. It took me a bit to write this one because I was busy this weekend. This was mainly just to introduct Domon to the story, so I won't be writing any chapters similar to the actually story again. Tell me what you thought of it, or at least the ending fight since that's the only truly unique part of it. Once again, thanks for the reviews.
About the person wanting to see Shining fingers, what a coincidence, I mean I won't say anything. _ _ _ _
Plus, I've decided to add the Stalker. Why, you ask? Simply put, G Gundam isn't G Gundam without the stalker.
