Mobile Suit G Gundam: Gathering Shadows
Rhia's Trouble: UDG Cells
Rhia walked around, not having a clue as to where George de Sand might be. After checking the gardens, and any possible places the Neo-Frenchman might be, she gave up to wander the halls. That was when she saw the swirl of a purple cape turn the corner, heading back to the gardens. Rose gardens. Makes sense. Rhia thought absent-mindedly as she too turned the corner. Ahead of her was George, his violate cape billowing out behind him. Maria Louise is lucky to have such a gentleman for a husband. Rhia thought. Unbeknownst to neither Rhia nor George, he was unwittingly leading her into a trap. A trap that would change Rhia's life...for better or for worse.
"Damn, George, where are you now?" Rhia said, cursing silently. She had lost George again, and was now wandering through the rose gardens. Then she felt a sharp rap to her temple and didn't remember anything more.
"Mademoiselle Rhia, Mademoiselle Rhia!" came a voice echoing from seemingly miles away. Slowly Rhia opened her eyes to see the worried faces of George, Chibbody, Domon and Thomas looking at her.
"What...What happened?" Rhia asked heavily.
"We were hoping you could tell us that." Chibbody said.
"I was walking around the gardens, and then I felt this tap on my temple and then...I don't know." Rhia looked at them. "What happened to you?"
"About 3 hours ago, all our crests reacted. When we realized that the only one missing was you, we went looking for you." Domon said.
"And about an hour before we found you all our crests started to burn." Thomas added.
"They haven't reacted like that since...the 13th Tournament actually." George said. Then Rhia stood up shakily, walked a couple of unsteady steps as the world spinned, and then became steady.
"Rhia, will you be okay?" Thomas asked.
"Fine Thomas." Rhia said. For some reason, when she looked at him her heart started to pump a bit faster.
"Are you sure?" Domon, George and Chibbody asked together.
"I'm sure." Rhia said, even though she was very, very unsure. She made her way quickly to her room. Once there, she threw off her shirt, and on her shoulder was the one thing she was sure she didn't want. There were small, black, diamond-shaped things on her shoulder. She touched them. Cold, like metal. DG cells, she though in horror. No, Ultimate DG cells. But I thought Shuffle members couldn't get infected! That's when the door opened. Rhia had no time to pull her shirt over the hideous black cells on her shoulder. Chibbody had opened the door, and for that, Rhia was terrified. She jumped into the bed she had been given, covering up the mark just in time. But she noticed as Chibbody walked in that his crest was shining and no doubt burning from being near DG cells.
"Rhia, are you sure nothing's wrong? Cause...well, our crest hadn't reacted like that since the 13th tournament, specifically when we were near the Dark Gundam."
"You mean, like they now react?" Rhia asked fearfully. Chibbody nodded. Then a horrible thought struck him. My crest had only burned more when I got closer to Rhia, so maybe... Chibbody yanked off the cover Rhia was using to cover herself and gasped. He saw the metallic black cells that covered her shoulder. Then Rhia was hit with a spasm of pain and clutched her shoulder. To his horror, Chibbody saw the cells spread. And his crest burned uncontrollably. He forced it to stop, but Rhia couldn't do that with the black cells the spread like wildfire into her breast.
"Chibbody, leave...before the cells go too far." Rhia whispered, her voice dangerously low. "Before I can't stop from being possessed." Rhia thought of Thomas, suddenly, and slowly they stopped spreading, for the time being.
"Rhia, tell me how you got them to stop." Chibbody said. He remembered his own experiences and how he had not wanted them to stop. How he had wanted their power. "Tell me why you didn't give into them."
"You mean, why I didn't become a slave like you did?" Rhia asked, breathing easier. Chibbody, though surprised, nodded. "I don't know. I thought of Thomas, and they stopped."
"Thomas, eh?" Chibbody thought. "Why Thomas?"
"I don't know. I...I don't know why I'm telling you this."
"Because I'm the only single man who can help you and you are afraid to go to any of the married men because they will tell you you're in love with him." Rhia nodded reluctantly. "Guess what? You are."
"Chibbody!"
"Listen, I know because you really got to like someone if thoughts of them can stop DG cells from spreading."
"Makes...sense."
"Anyway, wanna tell me why you love him?"
"Chibbody!" Rhia threw a pillow at him.
"What was that for?!"
"I am not going to tell you about my personal life!"
"What if I...tell you about mine?"
"Yah, right."
"No...I guess maybe we both need confidants."
"You aren't hitting on me are you?"
"Rhia! Why would I do any such thing?"
"Because I'm irresistible?" Rhia fluttered her eyelashes innocently. Chibbody snorted.
"You wish."
"Fine, I guess you're right." Rhia held her arm. "But only if you tell me about your life as well."
Chibbody agreed and they both spilled their hearts to one another. A couple hours passed before Chibbody finally left the room. George met him minutes later.
"I was getting worried, mon ami." George said. "I was starting to think you were hitting on her."
"Why does everyone think I'm in love with a girl 28 years younger than me?!" Chibbody yelled.
"Because you were in there for four hours." Domon said, appearing out of nowhere like he always did.
"Mind telling us why you were in there with Rhia?" Thomas asked, following Domon's suit of suddenly appearing. Chibbody thought he detected something in his voice that resembled jealousy.
"Sorry, it's sorta private."
"Since when did you, Chibbody Crocket, tell anything personal to anyone but yourself?" George asked.
"Since today." Chibbody said and strode away alone.
"Do you think he really does love her?" Thomas asked quietly.
"No, monsieur. He just gets agitated when people ask too many questions." George said, unconcerned. Domon nodded in agreement.
"George's right. Besides, I think she likes you." Domon said.
"You--You WHAT?" Thomas shouted.
"I agree with Domon. I do think Rhia likes you." George said.
"You--You do?"
"Go sleep on it, Thomas." Domon said, and with a swirl of his cape, was gone.
"Au revoir, mon ami." George said, then he too took his leave.
"Rhia.loves me?"
"What do you think we should do?"
"I told you what to do. How is the advancement of the cells going?"
"To Schwartz or Rhia?"
"Schwartz, you incompetent!"
"He is able to be possessed."
"Good. Make the first target the Ace of Spades, Sai Sici."
"Yes, of course, sir."

again, nothing much happened. I know. I'll get to it soon enough. Don't worry. But I'm really pissed that Cartoon Network took off G Gundam from the lineup! It's absurd! It's insane! It's degrading! It's horrible! I hate them!!!!!! It was the only goo show left and they REMOVED it from the lineup and added He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Transformers Armada! The disgrace! The horror! The decide to show the two best shows in the universe (G Gundam and Zoids) and then take them off in the middle of the series!!!!!!! Sorry, had to get it out of my system.
