Hey people, before you read this, I need some help in spacing the typing. I
have it typed up in paragraphs and such, but when I upload it, that is all
taken away like the document manager says. I don't know what to do,
especially since my computer is old and I'm computer illiterate. For those
of you who know what to do: please tell me in one of the reviews. This way,
it will be easier to read down the line. Many thanks.---Shizuka16
Glowing Gundam threw punches in every direction as it limped through the
canyon river. This was favorable for training because it not only made
Hiroji's injured leg a little more buoyant, but it also made his good leg
work harder. Sweat beaded the youth's brow as he continued forward,
fighting an invisible opponent. "Just.a.little.further!"
His resting spot lay just ahead, a piece of wooded land that split
the river into two streams. Having gone back and forth a good dozen times,
Hiroji was very much looking forward to a break. But still, he forced his
punches to strike faster, gritting his teeth all the while.
By the time he'd reached the banks and deactivated the mobile trace
system, he jumped to the ground panting. Feeling his leg threaten to cave
in beneath him, he immediately sat down, having to suppress a cry of pain.
"Hiya!" a voice called from in nearby. Hiroji raised his head just as
a girl with purplish hair came running at him, gun aimed to shoot.
"What?!" Hiroji raised his wooden katana in defense (POW!), blocking
the blow aimed to strike him in the head. He scowled. "Some greeting! What
was that for?"
Giggling, she tucked away the pistol. "Sorry, friend. I just had to
test my gun against the legendary Hiroji Kasshu!"
Hiroji cocked his head. "A legend? Since when am I a legend?"
"My dad says so anyway. He told me that your uncle won 3 Gundam
fights."
"Oh, well yeah that's true. What's your name?"
She plopped down next to him with a big smile on her face. "Angela
Crockett, but my friends know me as Angie."
"Ah, so you're Chibodee's kid, huh? I take it you're fighting in his
place now?"
"Uh-huh. I may be only 13, but hey, I aced the preliminaries that got
me here." She looked up at the beautiful mobile suit the young man was so
proud of. "Glowing Gundam, eh? I take it that it glows?"
"In the Glowing Mode it does." Hiroji answered, lacing his hands
behind his head. "Something I still have to work on."
"Yeah, that's why I'm here. To master that power for myself." Angie
got up and brushed herself off. "Well, my mom and dad dropped by to see
your crew, so I figure I should be heading that way."
Hiroji got up as well, leaning on his sword handle for support.
"Before you do, I have a request."
"Shoot."
He now, stuck the katana out in front of him. "Accept my challenge to
a Gundam fight, right here and now."
Angie gaped. "You nuts? You practically missing a leg there,
partner."
"Don't worry about that. Accept or decline."
"Decline? Feh! That word doesn't register in my mind." She smirked
evilly. "I accept." She leapt skyward, a red, white, and blue Gundam flying
to meet her. "GUNDAM FIGHT!"
Hiroji was back inside his Gundam in an instant. "READY."
"GO!!!" Angie charged, whipping a giant pistol out of her Gundam's
"belt". "Patriot Strike!!"
Hiroji ducked and swerved to escape the rounds of red bullets,
brandishing Glowing Gundam's katana. His broken leg dangling uselessly, he
charged himself forward with his free hand and right leg.
Standing on a cliff near the scene, Schwarz watched as explosions lit
up the valley. He observed every move of the young fighters, as they now
locked their hands in attempt to push each other back. "Hiroji's doing
well," he concluded. "But his grueling training is quickly tiring him."
Sure enough, Hiroji sank to his good knee in minutes, panting
heavily. "Damn, I'm so tired. I can feel my body weakening."
Angie stood over him in her Gundam Patriot. "Ready to give up?"
"Heh, heh. I guess I have no choice." Hiroji looked up at her and
nodded. "I think I can afford to lose one match."
"Hey, that's no fun!" the girl said, clearly frustrated. "You mean I
don't get to pound some sense into you?"
"There's no point in being brash." He answered calmly. "I am a
fighter who knows when he should give up. I can't afford to break anything
more."
Angie slapped her forehead. "And Dad said I'd have a challenge in
this dude."
Hiroji smiled to himself. Well, I lost this one. But hey, at least I
know now where my abilities lie.
"He's taking this too.Uh?!" Angie watched as her Gundam's pistol
completely split in half and exploded. "Ack! HEY!"
Hiroji chuckled as he glanced over his shoulder, where he could see
Schwarz standing on the cliff high above. "And that brings me one step
closer to my fight with you!"

Meanwhile, far below the soil, something began to stir. The faint pulse that had been causing the earth to vibrate ever so slightly began to intensify. A pair of massive eyes lit up the darkness.
