From now on, I think you guys can expect a chapter a night. I'm
grounded so I have plenty of time to type this stuff up, and I'm definitely
going to do so. On with the story!
Chapter 7: A Surprise in the City of Grace
Muteki seemed to be lost in the moment, he let Kazuka guide him. Now was the time to think. 'Master..never told me how to go about reaching the hyper mode. Actually, he didn't tell me much of anything. How can I attain something I know so little about?" he asked himself as Kazuka carried him at a blurring speed. He looked up to see a large land mass in the distance, a many great buildings could be seen from even here. It was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. It shown with a glow that not even the vacuum of space could consume. He smiled slightly and tugged at the reins a bit, "Just a bit farther, Kazuka. Take it all in, this..is Neo France," he said. The horse seemed to understand and picked up speed, but keeping it's head up to the colony.
He soon reached the atmosphere, and soon the beautiful city became even more so the closer he came. Kazuka straightened himself out and stopped inches above the ground and dropped down. People around were all pointing at this, they had never seen such a gundam. The people crowded around and children noisily chattered about what this could all mean. In a building far off, a man dressed in uniform sighted this out the window, "A gundam fighter...he has come to do battle with George I assume. I must prepare him immediately," said the man as he turned and headed through the large chamber door into an exuberant hall.
Muteki dismounted Kazuka and the horse dropped down from the cockpit, the horse transformed back into the carrier and placed itself under the Mystic Gundam and closed around it, making it impossible for any theft to take place. Muteki, now outside of the gundam, mounted Kazuka once again and he trotted towards the people.
"Tell me, sir, you are a gundam fighter are you not? You must be here to meet George DeSand's challenge?" asked a woman standing in front of him. He looked confused.
"I have received no word of any challenge," he responded.
"Oh, George DeSand has issued a challenge out to any gundam fighter willing to oppose him. You are the first to arrive, but we have received word that many gundams are on their way here as we speak," she said to him.
"Is that so? Thank you for explaining that to me, this could be an excellent chance for me to test my new abilities," he responded.
"Excuse me?" she said confused about that last sentence.
"Oh, nothing, thank you again," he said then the crowd cleared out of the way looking up at the sky.
"Look, daddy, more gundams are coming! Everyone must want a piece of George, but he'll take them all I just know it," said a boy who apparently idolized this George guy. His father merely nodded, not wanting to spoil the moment for his son. Muteki stopped and watched the gundams arriving, but his gaze stopped on one. It was the Shining Gundam, Domon Kasshu was here. There was also a peculiar gundam, it was shaped like something he'd see in some cartoon about a ditzy girl named Sarina and her friends who battle evil, but that kind of show would never exist he thought (not trying to diss Sailor Moon fans, just adding some irony for the heck of it.)
The gundams landed, the Shining Gundam first. "Let's go, Kazuka," he whispered into the horse's ear and tugged the reins. It trotted forward to the Shining Gundam. Domon Kasshu had just emerged from the gundam. "So, if it isn't Domon Kasshu, I'm still waiting for an apology for being such an ass," Muteki said as he stopped nearby.
"Not on your life, I thought I got rid of you?" he said, not even sparing a glance.
"Not on your life, it takes more than that to get rid of me," he said with a grin.
"Pfft, I don't have time for you," Domon said as he walked away.
"Jeez, what a grouch," Muteki said as he turned and almost knocked someone over. "Oh, I'm sorry miss. I hadn't realized you were there," he said, luckily Kazuka was well disciplined or he would have barreled right through the woman.
"Oh, um it's nothing," she said, he hadn't even come close to knocking her over, he must be paranoid she thought. Then she recognized his face from somewhere, "Hey, are you the fighter from Neo Gannya?" she asked him.
"Oh, yes. Well, I was anyway..Gannya has been...," then he thought better than to tell her, "It's been evacuated, apparently a disease broke loose and you can't be too careful with things like that," he said. "I'm a freelancer until the problem is dealt with," he said.
"Oh, that's too bad...anyway, I heard you're pretty good. Hopefully I face you first round," she said and began to walk away, "Oh, the name's Allenby. What's yours?" she asked.
"The name's Muteki," he said and she waved goodbye and left. 'Never seen that girl before, but she hopes she faces me? Is there something I'm missing? I thought everyone was here to fight George," he thought to himself. He decided to ask the nearest person, "Hey, exactly what is going on here?" he asked a brown haired woman, who he soon found to be vaguely familiar.
"Oh, Muteki, it's been a while. Well, there's apparently a quick tournament being held here in Neo France. Kind of a warm-up for the gundam fight coming up in a month or two," said the woman. He recognized her now, it was Bunny. Chibodee must be here as well.
"Wow, and I came here just to talk to George. Oh well, I'm not one to turn down a good match," he responded and waved goodbye as he trotted away.
"Yo, Muteki, are you leaving without saying hi to me first?" asked a familiar voice from behind him. Muteki didn't have to turn to guess who it was, he turned to face Chibodee.
"Oh, hey Chibodee, didn't realize you were there," he said to his friend.
"Ah, no problem, so you came here for to fight in the tourney too, eh?" he asked with that ever present cheery voice.
"Well, actually I didn't even know there was one. I came here to meet the Jack of Diamonds," he told Chibodee.
"Really? What have you been living under a rock the past couple weeks?" asked Chibodee with a slight chuckle. Muteki pondered this for a moment.
"Yes," he responded.
"Huh?" Chibodee said with a confused look on his face.
"Nothing," Muteki responded.
"Oh, well I'm looking forward to that rematch you promised me. This time, my gundam is at full power," Chibodee responded then left. Muteki chuckled to himself, Chibodee was always so cheerful he didn't seem to have a care in the world. He turned now to head where the gundam fighters seemed to be gathering. He stopped near the back of the crowd, on the horse he had a good view even at the back so he didn't bother to push his way through.
"As you all know, George DeSand issued a challenge to any gundam fighters who wish to battle him; however, so many arrived that we thought it best to have a tournament instead. Come here and we will record your and your gundam's data and then a computer will randomly choose the opponents. Be aware that the top placements in this tournament don't necessarily reflect the top placements in the upcoming Gundam Fight. There are still roughly two months to train and not all gundams arrived here today," said a well dressed man.
Everyone stepped up to the table and input there data into computers provided, Neo France certainly planned this well. Muteki waited till everyone was done, then rode forward and dismounted. He input his data into the computer and the man spoke once again after a few minutes, "Alright, the seeds have been placed and the matches selected. I will read off the top ten seeds. The first seed belongs to a new fighter from Neo Gannya. He pilots the Mystic Gundam and his name is Muteki," said the man, Domon seemed a bit uncomfortable. Muteki enjoyed seeing that, Domon finally had been knocked from his high horse. Muteki mounted his, both literally and figuratively. He rode over to hear better.
"At second seed we have Domon Kasshu of Neo Japan, he pilots the Shining Gundam. At third place we have Sai Sici of Neo China, he pilots the Dragon Gundam. At fourth place(Muteki began to get a bit bored at this point) is Chibodee Crockett of Neo America, he pilots the Gundam Maxter. Placing at fifth seed is Allenby Beardsley of Neo Sweden, she pilots the Noble Gundam. Placing at sixth seed is Argo of Neo Russia, he pilots the Bolt Gundam," said the man, pausing to catch his breath.
"At seventh seed we have our own George DeSand of Neo France, who pilots the elegant Rose Gundam. At eighth seed we have the Mandala Gundam, piloted by a man who has not given his name for some odd reason. At ninth seed we have the Neros gundam of Earth, piloted by Michelo. At 10th seed we have the Mermaid Gundam from Neo Holland(I'm not completely sure on this, but I think he's from Neo Holland,)" said the man, he now stopped and pointed to a screen where the match-ups were displayed.
Ironically enough, Allenby was Muteki's first opponent. He didn't bother to look at the other matches, he knew that everyone in the top 10 would advance at least to the second round. His match was first since overall it was the highest overall match-up seed-wise, no other fights had two top 10 seeded fighters in them. " The first match will begin in ten minutes. Will Allenby Beardsley and Muteki advance the ring? It is encased in a force field, which are mainly to protect the viewers but they can be used tactically as well," said the well dressed man, he bowed and left.
Well, it was now or never. Muteki was a bit apprehensive about having his first match with the Mystic Gundam. He boarded the Mystic Gundam and left Kazuka behind for this match. The force field momentarily dropped until the Noble and Mystic Gundams entered the arena. It activated again behind them.
"So, I guess as fate would have it I really do face you first match. Don't hold back, I'm certainly not going to!" Allenby said cheerily.
Muteki nodded and responded, "Then this match will be great, good luck Allenby. May the best fighter win." He unsheathed the extremely long blade and surprisingly Allenby wasn't worried at all, Muteki could tell she had a true fighter's spirit. He grinned from ear to ear. "Now..READY!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted.
Then both in unison they dashed towards each other, "GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they shouted and the match was underway. Muteki went to slash with his sword but a stream of energy blocked, but span in a circle and went around it then connect with the Mystic Gundam. Muteki stumbled backwards and pulled his right arm back as a metal boxing glove enclosed it, " Hurricane punch!" he shouted and a twister barreled into Allenby and knocked her away before she could follow up.
'That whip..it's tricky to avoid. I have to find out quick or I might get eliminated in the first round! No way is that happening, I still have to pay Domon Kasshu back for our last match!' he thought to himself.
"What's the matter? I thought you wouldn't hold back," said Allenby, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Don't worry about that, I was taking a second to think. This match has just begun," he said with a wide grin. She grinned as well, apparently her favorite part of fighting was the challenge. Well, Muteki just disappoint her could he?
He dashed forward suddenly and swung the long sword, the whip connected with it again. "Hurricane punch!" he shouted and the whip was knocked away by the gust of wind. Allenby gasped and Muteki shoulder tackled her into the force field.
She got up and wiped her lip, "Good, I could expect nothing less of the first seed," she said, still smiling. She began to twirl the whip over her head then lunged at him with it, he parried it with his sword. She twisted away from his counter and went to strike again. It was met with another Hurricane Punch, but she dodged another counter attack.
She jumped backward and twirled the whip over her head once again, then she pulled it out in front of her, the whip did a fan-like motion. It snaked forward and struck Muteki in the right shoulder, the chest and the left leg. He grimaced and boosted up into the air to avoid a possible continuation of the attack. He then straightened out and the wings folded in to prevent air resistance. He came down at blinding speed, but Allenby gracefully dodged the kick. The ground tore under the force of the attack and created a crater. She continued hopping backwards as he jumped forward to swing at her with his weapon.
She was doing just what he wanted, she was getting dangerously close to the force field. He lunged forward again with the sword and she dodged yet again. She then found herself nearly touching the barrier. She looked back and gasped again, she couldn't believe she let him trick her like that.
"Nowhere to go now," he said then he dashed forward and hammered the Noble Gundam in the jaw. Allenby shouted out and her gundam was knocked to the side, combined with the Mystic Gundam's and Muteki's strength any blow he dealt packed the force of an eighteen wheeler. She got up slowly and smiled yet again, she had never experienced such a challenge. Suddenly, a voice filler her cockpit.
"Allenby, you can't beat this guy in your current state. I am going to activate the berserker mode, it's your only chance," said a man from a podium.
"We've never used it before, are you sure it works?" she asked him.
"Well, we'll see won't we?" he said as he pushed a few buttons. Suddenly, Allenby lost control and her eyes turned Crimson red. A red glow seemed to surround the Noble Gundam. She shouted and dashed forward, before Muteki saw what was happening. She had tackled him to the ground and was beating him senseless.
He was constantly being hammered in the face, it made it even more difficult to see what was going on. 'Where the hell did all this power suddenly come from?!' he shouted in the recesses of his mind as he managed to catch one of her fists. Then she hit him as hard as she could with the other and he skidded backward a bit. He got to his feet and thought, 'Something isn't right, this kind of power doesn't just pop out of thin air. Where did that red glow come from?'
"Allenby, what is going on?" he asked. She merely shouted again and kicked him in the face. The Mystic Gundam was sent reeling back into the force field. She followed quickly and rapidly began punching and kicking him, along with the force field shocking his gundam this caused Muteki and the Mystic Gundam quite a bit of damage. He opened one eye as he attempted to push her off, but his body failed him. Then she pulled the whip again, he ducked. It was the only thing he had the energy to do. The whip connected with the force field and it's shock traveled through and caused Allenby to falter and drop the whip.
Muteki regained his composure and had to capitalize on this. He reeled his arm back once again, "Hurricane Punch!" he shouted and Allenby was knocked into the air. He boosted at blinding speed into the air and pulled his right arm back all the way and hammered the Noble Gundam as hard as he could, it was sent plummeting into the force field. Allenby shouted out and collapsed.
Muteki floated down and went to pull her away from the force field, the fight seemingly over. Then he noticed the red glow hadn't left yet. She pushed him away, but was barely standing. The red glow changed into burning flames and he backed away.
"Doesn't she know when to stop?" he said. Then it struck him. That wasn't exactly Allenby, she had no control over herself. How could he stop her without killing her? He thought he knew of a way. He dashed forward and pulled his right arm back. The fingers extended outward at the knuckles and energy began to from there. "SHINING....FINGERS!!!!!!!!!" he shouted then latched onto the Noble Gundam. The energy erupted from the openings in the Mystic Gundam's fingers and badly damaged the system of the Noble Gundam.
He pulled his hand backward, it was scorched badly by the flames from the Noble Gundam. The Noble Gundam shut down, and so the Berserker system ended and Allenby lost consciousness. The fire disappeared and Muteki quickly jumped from his gundam and removed her from the cockpit. He walked to the edge of the arena and the force field disappeared. The crowd was cheering to see such a wonderful fight, but Muteki was hardly pleased with himself. The man who had activated the berserker system came to Muteki.
"She needs medical attention," said Muteki and then he added, "What.was that?"
"That.was a terrible mistake on my part. It was a system created to be similar to the super modes of the Shuffle Alliance gundams, but could also be manually activated. I hadn't realized how dangerous it was until I saw it in action," admitted the man. Muteki only motioned for him to move as medics drove up in an ambulance. He placed her on the stretcher and the man went with them to the hospital. Muteki would visit later, for now he had to find somewhere to stay and have his gundam repaired in between battles.
There we go, chapter 7 completed. I told you there'd be action coming, and there's more to come. Tell me what you all think.

"That.was a terrible mistake on my part. It was a system created to be similar to the super modes of the Shuffle Alliance gundams, but could also be manually activated. I hadn't realized how dangerous it was until I saw it in action," admitted the man. Muteki only motioned for him to move as medics drove up in an ambulance. He placed her on the stretcher and the man went with them to the hospital. Muteki would visit later, for now he had to find somewhere to stay and have his gundam repaired in between battles.
There we go, chapter 7 completed. I told you there'd be action coming, and there's more to come. Tell me what you all think.
