Gentle Chapman stood at the window, watching as fighters arrived for
the finals. Coincidently, it was also Valentine's Day. A few of the
countries that celebrated this holiday decorated the booths of Neo-England
and were selling chocolate. Young Japanese girls flocked to give chocolates
to their sweethearts, in hopes that they would receive marshmallows in
return on White Day. One of these women was Leiko, who frantically ran to
the Gundam Fight Arena.
"Lieutenant!" exclaimed Karato, "You had better have a good reason for being late!" The Neo-Japan platform descended so that Leiko could sit in her designated seat and watch Urube fight.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Karato, I just had to pick up something." Dr. Kasshu smiled at Leiko, as he noticed that she was holding a box of homemade chocolates.
"Professor Mikamura, how is your Shining Gundam coming along?" asked Kasshu, a hint of mocking in his tone. Mikamura turned away and gritted his teeth.
"It's coming alone fine, Kasshu."
"Even if it cannot compare to my Ultimate Gundam, the Shining Gundam still is a great achievement. you should be very proud!" Professor Mikamura leaped up in his seat, glaring at the Doctor with hatred blaring in his black eyes.
"While the two of you were arguing, you missed our victory," said Leiko as she looked with concern at the two men. They looked at the arena and saw, to their delight, the Shogun Gundam standing victorious over the fallen Sheik Gundam. The crowd roared with delight while Urube gripped his head in pain. Suddenly, the picture freezes, and Stalker is seen, holding a remote in his hand.
"It seems that Shale's psychotic words have gotten to Urube today, folks. one may not realize how easy it is to lose one's mind, even though it is so precious. Look at what power can do! Didn't you see what it did to Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Brutus, Hitler, and Stalin? What we shall see today is the death of a fine young man, and the birth of a selfish monster with a thirst for the blood of innocents. sore de wa. Gundam Fight! Ready? Go!"
************** "Is the Major alright?" asked Leiko as she watched the Chairman pace outside the infirmary, "He just. collapsed."
"Of course he's alright!" barked Karato, "Why wouldn't he be?!" Leiko jumped at Karato's anger, but was silenced as Dr. Kasshu walked out.
"You can see him now, he'll be just fine," the doctor smiled, obviously proud of his skills while Mikamura grimaced. Leiko walked in first, nodding to Karato.
"As his partner, I think I should go in first," sighed Leiko, hiding the parcel of chocolate in her bag. Karato mumbled to himself while Dr. Kasshu nodded.
"Mr. Urube?" Leiko poked her head inside before closing the infirmary door behind her and walking into the darkened room. Leiko smiled, realizing that he must be asleep, so she sat down, waiting for him to stir. Much to her surprise, though, the light switched on in front of her. Standing beside the window was Urube, clad in his forest-green pants, jacket hanging over one shoulder. He slowly turned around, smiling faintly at her.
"I came to see if you were alright." mused Leiko.
"I'm just fine, I was just thinking too hard about something," replied Urube, his voice calm as usual.
"The Ultimate Gundam?" Leiko's words were bitter. Urube's face darkened, and he nodded, "I have to find some way to get that Gundam!" Leiko, attempting to change the subject, pulled out her parcel and stood up.
"Please. accept this," Leiko hastily handed the chocolate to her Major, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Mikamura's daughter was right," Urube smirked. Leiko blushed, starting to feel quite uncomfortable in Urube's presence.
"Mr. Urube." Leiko's voice trailed off as Urube sat the package down on the bed and walked back to the window.
"My next fight will be against Fuhai Toho, Master Asia," stated Urube, "If I win this battle, then victory will be guaranteed! There will be nothing stopping me from taking the Ultimate Gundam." Urube clenched his fists, passionate about his words. Leiko sunk back down into her chair, cowering slightly from Urube's sinister appearance.
"You're frightening me, Mr. Urube," stuttered Leiko. Urube turned to his partner and grinned.
"There is no need for you to be afraid anymore, as long as you stay and help me," Urube put his large hands on her shoulders, almost pleading.
"What is it exactly that you want to do?" Leiko looked down.
"I simply wish to rule the world." Urube turned and stood by the window once more. Leiko's conscious and her heart were battling a bloody war that lasted a while in silence. Urube's blue eyes scanned the stars, insanity pulsing in his veins. Leiko shuddered as she felt her conscious fall dead, her selfish heart gleaming in victory.
"I will do whatever you ask of me," said Leiko as she stood and walked over to Urube, "Whatever you want me to do. I will be happy to oblige, I love you." As she whispered those final words, she rested her head on Urube's spine.
"Good," smirked Urube, oblivious to Leiko's declaration of love.
********************* "Master, what do you plan to do about this opponent?" asked Wong as he twiddled a stick of pocky, "Major Urube Ishikawa."
"I have heard that he is a good fighter," stated Master Asia.
"But can he beat the King of Hearts?" asked Wong, smirking. A smile was Master Asia's only reply.
********************* "Gundam Fight standby!" exclaimed Master Asia as his Gundam stood tall and proud.
"Ready?" the Shogun Gundam raised its fists.
"Go!" Master Asia jumped high into the air, long folds of white scarf swooping down towards the samurai Gundam. Urube raised his arm to dodge it, but the scarf wrapped around his muscular arm and pulled, sending him flying forward.
"Concentrate on the fight!" exclaimed Karato.
"Mr. Urube." Thoughts of the Ultimate Gundam swerved throughout Urube's mind, making him feel dizzy as Master Asia relentlessly attacked.
"I've had enough of this. Shogun Grip!" exclaimed Urube as he reached out with his shining hand. Master Asia rushed his hand forward, letting the fierce punch break though Urube's outstretched hand. The Major cried out as his arm crumpled to his side.
"The Shogun Gundam!" cried out Mikamura, "It cannot handle this type of power!"
"If only the Ultimate Gundam was ready. now that's a mobile suit," said Dr. Kasshu.
"Mr. Urube! Dr. Kasshu. he'll be alright, won't he?!"
"Many of his limbs have obviously been broken by Neo-Hong Kong's attack." he murmured.
"I will defeat you!" cried out Ishikawa, "I can't lose, not now!" A saber manifested in Urube's grip and he took a fierce swing at Master Asia's head.
"You once took the role of the lonely hunter," said Master Asia as he jumped and grabbed the Shogun's head, "But now. now you appear inhuman!" As Master Asia spoke, Urube took the chance and stabbed his opponent in the side with his saber.
"You. coward! You do not deserve a hero's defeat!" cried out Master Asia as he gripped his side and jumped back. Urube only grinned, "He who laughs last laughs best.!"
"Then prepare your ears for the roar of my laughter!" Urube cried out as Master Asia's scarves stabbed him in the chest, and he fell, defeated.
"I. lost?!" screamed Urube.
"Damnit!" Karato pounded his fist onto the metal surface.
"Mr. Urube!" cried out Leiko. Her sobs were drowned out by the crowd's cheer.
**************************** Alright, everyone! It's the moment you've been waiting for! Master Asia's victory is at hand, while Urube and the others head back to Neo- Japan-where the Major is greeted by some interesting news. It seems that Professor Mikamura is outraged by Dr. Kasshu's arrogance and is willing to make a deal with our hero, who has seemingly become pure evil in his thirst for power! Ready? Go!
"Lieutenant!" exclaimed Karato, "You had better have a good reason for being late!" The Neo-Japan platform descended so that Leiko could sit in her designated seat and watch Urube fight.
