A/N- well here we are, chapter 20 of No Longer Alone, the epilogue of sorts. I had a great time writing this story and am formulating plenty of others, maybe even another totally different fic involving the new G Gundam generation. And I once again thank everyone who read and reviewed; you were a big help. Okay, here it is, and until next time, just remember that Schwarz is GOD! (Couldn't resist)

"GO ANIKI! GO!"

"YOU RULE, HIROJI!"

"YAY!!"

Hiroji could hear the cheering from the boat floating just outside the ring barrier and felt his adrenaline surge. He only hoped that in this rush he wouldn't bang up his opponent too badly. But hey, it was good to show off every once in a while!

Glowing Gundam skidded to a halt on the far side of the ring and made a fist with its right hand. Hiroji felt the welcoming aura of Glowing Mode encase his body as well as his mobile suit's, as if he was truly one with a giant machine.

Domon and Kyoji were the first to eagerly lean forward on the deck railing. "Ah, Hiroji's ultimate technique!" Domon declared.

Kyoji nodded. "The Glowing Strike,"

The challenging gundam braced up to defend itself, its pilot sensing the sheer power of the Glowing Gundam.

"Let's do it, Glowing Gundam!" Hiroji shouted. "GLOWING STRIKE!!!!!"

The magnificent mobile suit leapt forward and plowed its shimmering hand right through the block, seizing the unfortunate gundam's head in giant metal fingers.

His entire audience raised their fists, rooting him on. "GO HIROJI!!"

"Victory is mine!" Hiroji yelled as his opponent exploded beneath him.

The stadium went wild as the announcer shouted. "Neo Japan's Glowing Gundam, piloted by Hiroji Kasshu is the winner!!"

"YES!! Hah hah!!" Hiroji stood proudly atop the shoulder of Glowing Gundam, practically jumping up and down in his excitement. Fireworks now accompanied the endless cheers, lighting up the evening sky.

Hiroji turned towards the boat and peered happily down at the people on it. Keiji bounced up and down on Domon's shoulders, shouting his name repeatedly. Hoi and Min, now teens themselves, clapped and whistled with Rain. And there, standing next to Domon, Kyoji smiled and gave his son a thumbs-up.

"Dad." Hiroji returned the gesture with his own.

THE END A/N- Wow, I'm almost in tears here. So this concludes No Longer Alone.
