Disclaimer: I don't own too much. Blah Blah Blah. While I'm talking, I must say, I like the George/Maria Louise pairing. And I didn't want to ruin that when I wrote this. I really didn't. Oh, and I switched POV each chapter. So, last chapter was in Nikita's Point-of-View and this one is in 3rd person.





"I challenge you to a Gundam fight!" a large man yelled. A towering yellow, blue and red Gundam readied to attack. The challenged just sighed in exasperation at the foolishness of the fighter. Running his hand through his red hair, he operated the Mobile Tray System and accepted the challenge.

The challenger grunted and put up his fists.

"You better be ready to lose!" the challenger bellowed and launched into attack. His fists had power and no thought. The challenged just calmly stepped aside, drew a sword and spun to face the opponent. Fury sparkled in the eyes of the overconfident challenger, before he screamed in rage when his rival's sword pierced the head section of his Gundam.

"Neo-Andorra's fighter, Gundam International Regulation, Article 1: A Gundam whose head section has been damaged is disqualified," the challenger said before leaving.

When Neo-Andorra's fighter got back to the hotel he was staying in, he drank a few beers then went to find his sister. In an alley behind the hotel, she shot arrow after arrow into a pile of trash with a complex bow. Swinging around to the sound of her brother's steps, she pointed the bow at him. Reluctantly, she lowered the bow.

"My sister the archer. If only she spent more time on the Avalanche Gundam and not on her complex bow. Maybe we might stay on earth longer, Nikita," her brother purred. Nikita looked at her feet, fighting the queasy feeling her brother gave her.

"Germaine, I repaired your Avalanche Gundam. Neo-Andorra does not lose on my account," she whispered before Germaine grabbed her hand and shook her. With her free hand she covered her face. In what seemed like slow motion, she watched through her fingers her brother's hand slap her with both hands and pick her up again. Holding her cheeks with one hand, he punched her in the stomach. He kicked her to the ground before grabbing her. For brief seconds, she watched her feet leave the ground before she was thrown across the alley. Germaine left her in a bloody heap in the alley.

"Everything is your fault," she heard her brother say prior to walking away. Using the wall, she slowly stood. Using the hand that didn't hold her standing up, she felt around her face for bruises and cuts.

"Luckily I can hide my bruises," she breathed. "But I can only hide my shame when I become Neo-Andorra's Gundam fighter."
