Thanx for the review, well here's chapter 10!
Chapter 10: The Finals! The Destined Rematch, a Horrible Tragedy!
Muteki eyed his gundam closely. 'That power..it was incredible, but I can't seem to summon it again. That was the hyper mode Master told me about, I'm sure of it,' he thought to himself. You would have never guessed it had been in a match three hours before, not a single scratch lay on it. That was one of the powers of his Hyper Mode; it repaired itself when it is first activated in battle. It made a good last resort, but he couldn't seem to harness it.
"Hey, you," came a brooding voice from behind him. Muteki turned and saw himself looking at Domon Kasshu, what the hell could he want? He had tried to be nice to the guy, but his attitude drove him crazy.
"What do you want?" Muteki asked.
"I've come to ask you something, someone told me that you might know something," Domon responded. Muteki didn't respond, but Domon put his hand into his jacket. He pulled a picture from it. "Have you seen this man?" he asked, tossing the picture to him. Muteki caught it and felt the sudden urge to rip the picture up.
"Him...I will destroy him..," responded Muteki. Domon was moderately surprised; he didn't expect him to really know who he was.
"You do know him?! Where is he, you have to tell me!" Domon hastily added. Muteki's eyes moved enough to see him, but he didn't move. He could tell by the look on his face that it wasn't the time to hold grudges.
He sighed, "I don't know his name, but this man is currently in Neo Gannya," he said.
"Gannya, what is he doing there?!" he asked.
"This man arrived in a monstrous gundam, gundams appeared everywhere. They ransacked the city and killed many people. I destroyed most them and engaged in battle this man. His gundam was too powerful; it gave you a bad feeling to see it. You could tell it's sole purpose was destruction. He destroyed the entire city, and according to my Master he is still there. Waiting for..something that I can't quite put my finger on," Muteki responded, as the memories of that fateful day echoed in his head. He could hear the explosions, and that terrible...demonic laughter once again. Domon lowered his head.
"So.he is truly evil know. This man is my brother, Kyoji Kasshu," Domon responded. Muteki was surprised; Domon never struck him as the emotional type. He apparently was very close to this 'Kyoji' at some point. Muteki decided not to press the matter.
Domon suddenly spoke again, "This isn't easy for me to ask, especially since we've exchanged insults and even blows a few times before. I want you to help me, I have to defeat Kyoji before he gets away with anything else," Domon said.
Muteki nodded and responded, "Alright, I will help you defeat him, but when the time comes I will be the one to defeat Kyoji. He killed everyone who ever gave a damn about me, and I will make him pay for it. You at least have Rain, so you must understand."
"I won't make a promise like that, but I think you should there's someone who cares a lot about you," Domon said, and then realizing he said too much, he left. Hopefully, Muteki wouldn't ask the one person that had entrusted him with that information. Muteki was puzzled, but that just made him think more about the letter he had received. He now had someone to protect, he felt the world on his shoulders increase in size greatly.
He now made his way to the arena, ready to finally fight Domon Kasshu. When he got there, Domon was already in his gundam waiting. Muteki quickly got into his, and waited for George to put up the force field. Suddenly, a chill went down Muteki's spine. An explosion rocked the stadium as a sword found it's way to the generator. Muteki looked in shock, it was the Expert Gundam! It pulled it's sword free and turned to face Muteki and Domon.
Muteki saw it and felt it, the Expert Gundam was being controlled. It glowed with dark power as the sword turned completely red and it turned towards the fans. It fired it's vulcans at the overhang. It collapsed and crushed the fans below the upper deck. The fans in the upper deck either died or in a state in which they wished they had. Muteki's eyes widened, suddenly shadows were cast over the land. He looked up and saw uncountable Expert Gundams flying through the air.
"No..no..NO!!!! This isn't possible!" Muteki shouted. This had to be another dream, but he realized it wasn't as they all swooped down; their lasers beat at the Mystic Gundam and Shining Gundam. George ran to get the other people in the tournament and his gundam.
"Domon..are you ready?" Muteki asked. Domon only nodded. "Fine, then..we have to destroy these gundams or else Neo France is doomed," Muteki added as he activated his jets. Muteki knew this wouldn't be easy; they were not the typical gundam you could mass-produce. The Mystic Gundam was much stronger, but not even the Mystic Gundam could fight all these. He knew he couldn't win, but he had to try.
"When you reach hell, tell them to make some room for a guy named Kyoji!" taunted Muteki as he swung at the closest Expert Gundam. Sparks flew as it connected with the gundanium alloy and forced it's way through, but it was a clean cut. The blade glided through it and he followed all the way through. There was a pause, time stood still. And then, the upper half of the gundam tilted forward and slid off the lower half. Both sides plummeted and burst into a raging inferno as the leaking fuel sparked when the parts hit the ground. Muteki's confidence soared and he sliced through the next gundam in his path and followed through into the next with a single swing.
"You're pathetic," he said as he eyed his next opponent. The wind was unsettled to his South; he turned and nimbly dodged a deadly swing at the cockpit. He reeled back and nailed the gundam in the head, parts strained and wires snapped as the force of the blow tore the head from the shoulders of the gundam. He grinned widely as another opponent fell.
"A little help here?!" Domon said angrily, he was being ganged up on. Muteki had almost forgotten Domon was there. His jets fired up and flames poured down from the sky, you could say it was raining fire with the jets and exploding gundams competing for the best light show. He reached Domon in a matter of seconds, doing a full spin with his sword out he maneuvered his blade through the ambushing gundams. Domon backed off a bit, not sure whether or not Muteki realized he was close enough to get sliced up too.
Fire weaved it's way through the arena, followed by flying parts and wires. Anything flammable was long since gone and the parts crushed anything smaller than them. Just as Muteki was feeling good about this fight, he remembered how many gundams there were. Iron giants eclipsed the son, and crushed any remaining hope along with the light. Muteki growled low, this was unbelievable. Most fighters who lost had already left, so he didn't know what he was hoping for when he figured some help might be good at that particular moment.
Muteki shouted out and launched a hurricane punch to scatter them; they all dodged it and gracefully switch into a forward motion as they went for Muteki. Muteki thrust his sword through the skull of the one that arrived first, glass and gundanium screamed out, their screech drowning out the sound of the explosion. Muteki's arms switched directions with almost mechanical efficiency, as if they were programmed to do nothing else and had been doing so for their whole lives. He sliced through the next two, and managed to get the three that followed before they could touch him.
He was a second too slow to get all five of the next gundams and was punished with a blow to the skull. He reeled back and lost his balance. He saw a massive sword heading right for the cockpit. "So...it's over already," he said in disbelief. Suddenly a massive gundanium ball slammed into it and it fell in a heap.
Muteki blinked, kind of taking in what just happened. Then he saw the Bolt Gundam of Neo Russia. "Never met you before, but I owe ya," he said to the pilot.
"Hey, bro, save some for me!" Sai Sici said as his scythe tore into the chest of the other Expert Gundam that had escaped Muteki's punishing blade. Muteki saw the Gundam Maxter and Gundam Rose as well. Even more surprising, he saw the Grizzly gundam and Noble Gundam as well. These were the remaining fighters, but he couldn't have picked a better bunch for back up (of those who were willing to help him anyway.)
"What's the matter Muteki? You're not gonna be upstaged by us are you?" George said, Muteki was surprised to hear a joke come from him but he ignored that for now.
Muteki grinned and responded, "Not a chance!" He turned to about 20 advancing gundams. He rose his sword up in the air and spoke, "Mystic Swordplay." He suddenly boosted forward and sliced through the first nineteen and thrust so hard into the 20th that he couldn't stop and barreled through it. Explosions followed in his wake and his sword stopped glowing.
George pointed forward as the rose bits erupted from the shoulder of the Gundam Rose and lit up the sky with lasers. Taking out many gundams before their ammo ran dry and they dropped to the ground. Muteki hadn't seen that attack before, but it was very effective.
Sai Sici clamped his arm down on the cranium of an expert gundam and tossed it forward. Argo swung his ball and chain into it and crushed it. "You're not bad mister," responded Sai Sici, sometimes his skill made Muteki forget he was only a kid.
A swirling tunnel of wind barreled through a group of Expert Gundams. Chibodee grinned; he was clearly enjoying this fight. He pulled out his two blasters and went old Western on the helpless gundams. Muteki growled, "Is there no end to them?!" he shouted as more came to replace the fallen.
"Don't give up," Allenby called out to him as she fought at his side. "If the guy who beat me falls to a bunch of phantom pilots how do you think I'd feel?" she joked. Muteki nodded and continued fighting. They continued fighting for what seemed like hours.
"Man, for every one we kill two replace them!" Chibodee said as he blasted away at another gundam. He now heard nothing but clicks, "Damn! I'm out of ammo!" he said as he was hammered by a gundam waiting for an opportunity to come up. The others weren't faring much better, Sai Sici had been hit by Argo's crushing ball and chain when an Expert Gundam managed to dodge with Sai Sici unfortunately right next to it. George was getting hit from all sides, and the Grizzly Gundam was beginning to succumb to the overwhelming numbers of their opponents. Only Domon, Allenby, and Muteki were holding their own.
Soon, even the King of Heart's energy left him. He dropped to one knee and shouted to everyone, "We're just wasting our energy; we're outnumbered far too greatly. Let's get out of here; we need to find a way to get away without them following!"
Muteki broke the silence," You guys go!"
"What?! We're not leaving you here to die!" Allenby protested.
"I'll catch up as soon as you're out of sight, don't worry about me! It'll take more than some copies to take me down," he said assuringly. She finally nodded and began to leave, the others followed.
"Don't die..," she said as she disappeared over the horizon. The others soon disappeared as well. Muteki was surprised with how confidently he said that.
"Goodbye, Allenby," he said when he was sure she couldn't hear. He gundam rocked as he was attacked from behind. None of the gundams even bothered to watch them go. 'So that's it..it's clearly me they're after. It's my fault this happened.,' he thought bitterly. He jetted out over the ocean. 'Maybe, I should just take the fall and this could all end,' he thought to himself. 'No more fighting, no more being afraid, no more worries,' he continued in his mind. The Expert Gundams all jetted towards him in unison, they were about one hundred yards away.
'Yes, that all sounds so good,' he thought, seventy-five yards. 'What am I thinking?! No, I still have all those deaths to avenge, I still have to stop the Devil gundam..," he thought, twenty-five yards.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!" he shouted, one yard. Suddenly he jetted high up into the air, turning a whole twist and pulling his blade out in front of him, pointing directly downward. He floated for a second there, his jets were now off but there was a delay at his peak of ascent. He looked down at them scornfully. "You're the result of the Devil Gundam taking Neo Gannya; I knew that those parts were a bad idea! How do you move without a pilot?! I know the Devil Gundam is operating you all! Well, I hope this hurts!" he shouted as he plummeted, he sunk into the ocean the water not decreasing his speed at all. He sword buried into the ground all the way to the hilt.
"Now, you all die!" he shouted as the ground around him, all of it stretching as far as the eye could see was glowing. Suddenly, Energy erupted from every single bit of glowing dirt. The ocean tossed and turned, spilling into the streets and most of erupting into the sky like a rocket. The energy tore at the gundams, Muteki swore he could hear a blood-curdling moan of pain as they were torn to pieces and disappeared in the light.
The water suddenly splashed back down, the drops sparkling on the way down, a rainbow etched in the sky. The Mystic Gundam floated so close to the water it seemed to be standing upon it. Not a single part remained of the gundams hit, the ocean calmed and the wind suddenly stopped. Muteki floated there, but he didn't celebrate his victory. This was still the opening chapter of his battle with Kyoji, he had won today, but what did tomorrow hold in store for him?
And there you have it, that was chapter 10. What did you all think? I'll also take the time to draw some parallels with the series. The Gundam Fight begins in one month; this doesn't mean the tournament it means all fighters will journey to Earth. This is why none of the defeated pilots are eliminated. Yes, the timeline is sped up here but this is to fit more original ideas to the actual Gundam Fight.
Chapter 10: The Finals! The Destined Rematch, a Horrible Tragedy!
