Chapter 4: The Elimination Rounds

*

The Shuffle Alliance (with their new member, Allenby Beardsley as the Duce of Diamonds) and the Preventers walked back to the spaceport of Neo America. Along the way, Domon Kasshu felt his cell phone ring at his side. He grabbed it and pressed the receive button, he held it up to his face and listened.

"This is Domon Kasshu." He said

"Domon." A familiar voice said

"Prime Minister Kurato?" Domon asked

"That's right Domon." The Prime Minister acknowledged, "Listen, I've pulled some strings and found some nations that haven't selected a fighter yet. Keep in mind it wasn't easy."

"Who do you have?"

"I have Neo Korea, Neo Scotland, Neo England, Neo Saudi Arabia, Neo Hong Kong, Neo Spain, Neo Australia, Neo Ukraine, and Neo Belguim."

"Thank you very much, Prime Minister."

"There is one catch Domon."

Domon suddenly felt that he knew that something this good couldn't have come to them if it didn't have its price. He asked reluctantly, "What?"

"The people your with are going to have to fight the nations top fighter in order to establish them as the champion."

"I understand, Prime Minister. When do they have to fight them?"

There was a momentary pause but Domon could hear the rustling of papers within the Prime Ministers office. He then heard the Prime Minister clear his voice.

"The first will be Neo Korea, Neo Ukraine and Neo Belguim. Their fights start tomorrow. Neo Korea will be at 1:00 p.m., next will be Neo Ukraine at 3:00 p.m. and finally Neo Belguim will be at 6:00 that same day. After that it will be one nation per day, it will be Neo Scotland, Neo England, Neo Saudi Arabia, Neo Hong Kong, Neo Australia, and Neo Spain. So this whole thing will take about, a week, which is good since the actual Gundam Fight will be a week later. Can these people really be ready to fight them? I hear the competition is pretty fierce."

"I've fought one of them and I can tell that they're pretty fearless, Prime Minister."

"I certainly hope so."

Domon hung up the phone and then he appeared to the Preventers and explained the situation in full detail to them. He spoke as if this situation was dire, but then again when anything remotely serious comes up Domon's tone is always dire.

"So, the next thing all of you must decide is which nation you'll fight."

"I'll take Neo Korea." Heero said coldly

"I'll take Neo Ukraine's place." Trowa announced

"How ironic." Quatre shrugged, "I'll take Neo Saudi Arabia."

"I couldn't agree more with Quatre" Wufei smiled, "Neo Hong Kong is mine."

Miliardo shrugged, "If that's the case, then I'll take Neo Belgium, but I will fight under my former name, Zechs Marquise."

The Gundams agreed, since having the name Peacecraft would be a little bit out of place in this universe that included Johan himself as well.

Alexandria smiled, "I'll tolchok Neo England."

Johan shook his head, "If only my parents could see this. I'll take Neo Spain."

Haruka shrugged her shoulders, "That only leaves Neo Australia for poor little me." She said it in a sarcastic tone that Johan had to giggle.

"Then that leaves one nation, Neo Scotland." Trowa observed, "Then that nation should fall onto Duo. His fight doesn't come up for another few days." He turned to Rain, "Will he be able to fight by then."

"I believe he will." Rain Mikamura Kasshu said and then turned to her husband, "Domon, the fights don't start until tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah." Domon said

"I recommend to all of you as a doctor that we all get some sleep before the elimination's tomorrow." She addressed everyone as they boarded the Tabris.

"Sure, Rain." Domon said softly.

As the boarded the Tabris, the mood among the Preventers was a little tense but the experience that the Preventers had under their belt told them to be confident. They had done so much in their time, they had fought wars together. They had faced unspeakable technologies developed by a truly insane mind, space pirates, and people from other timelines. Sailor soldiers, bounty hunters, ruthless gunmen, and killers of all types. Needless to say, that the Preventers would be damned if they were to be stopped by a simple tournament.

* * *

Well now, everyone. The stage has been set for today's battle; the elimination rounds are to be this week. These would be the fight that would determine who would be the Gundam to represent a nation of people. The Preventers have already chosen which nation they will fight for the representation title. Today's Gundam Elimination will be between the Preventers Heero Yuy and his Gundam Wing Zero against Hiroshi Ashino and his Gundam Ying Yang currently the champion of Neo Korea. Let's get things started! Gundam Elimination Set! Ready, Go!

The Preventer Ship Tabris had arrived at the spaceport of Neo Korea. The colony itself was rather small, as a matter of fact it looked like a tear drop in the middle of space. Arriving at the colony was an experience in itself. Out of the windows of the space port they could see the whole colony as far as the eye could see contrasting with the blackness of space. It was like a natural jungle with a few cities sprouting up here and there like tall trees. Among the buildings and trees the Preventers saw the structure that was explained to them, the Gundam Dome.

It was an enormous building compared to the others that surrounded it. That was the place for the elimination against the current champion of Neo Korea. The real pressure of this whole match rested upon the shoulders of the Perfect Soldier, Heero Yuy. He simply stayed quiet the whole time that the group made their way to the Gundam Dome. Heero only concentrated on the rules of the Gundam Fight International Regulations. All his life he hadn't lived by any rules of battle except the ones he had. Now he had to fight within boundaries, he had to keep going over the rules or he would simply fight the way he always fought.

"Article 1" Heero thought, "A Gundam whose head is destroyed is disqualified. Article 2: A pilot must never aim for the cockpit of his opponents Gundam. Article 3: Fighters damaged in any part of the body except the head may repair the damage as often as necessary and continue to compete. Article 4: Gundam Fighters must protect their own Gundams at all times. Article 5: All battles are to be one-on-one. Article 6: Gundam Fighters must not damage nor mar the honor or dignity of the nations they represent. Article 7: The ring for each battle is the Earth. Supplement to Article 7: All Gundam Fights must take place in a Gundam Dome."

The rules seemed so odd, how can a Perfect Soldier work within such boundaries?

"Heero?" A voice called

Heero came out of his deep thought and followed the voice. The voice was that of Quatre Raberba Winner. He looked around him and found that they had arrived at the Gundam Dome. The Dome itself was even more enormous than what Heero had thought, it certainly would sustain a Gundam fight.

"We're here." Quatre said

"I understand." Heero said flatly.

At the front gates, Heero was separated from his friends. He was brought under the Gundam Dome and lead through the tunnels. It became dark in that place like that time that Heero had gone into the mansion of Trieze Kushrinada. Yet this time he came up into the light following the person in front of him. The lights of this place were so bright that it almost felt like natural sunlight. It was like that of a football field only 10 times larger and the stands were far away from the battle field and they were protected by a barrier that looked almost like glass to Heero's eyes. At that particular end of the battlefield he saw his opponent, the Gundam Ying-Yang. It didn't look that powerful, the only thing that seemed odd to Heero was the fact that this Gundam was split in half, one half was red and the other was blue. Yet its head was still on its shoulders with those yellow spikes extending back from its forehead.

Heero looked closer and saw his Gundam hand been delivered to this place, his Gundam Wing Zero Custom. It stood towering over him in its colors of red, white, blue, yellow, and the green of its center lens. At its back there were its Gundanium wings like those of an angel of God, the feathers of metal touching the concrete ground of the Gundam Dome. He looked to the man who brought him here.

"Please, step into your Gundam, sir." He said

Heero took his steps and found the cockpit of his Wing Zero opened, its lift cable already down, and ready to pull him up to the cockpit. He stepped into the harness for his foot and grabbed the one for his hands and gave it a small tug. It pulled him up to the cockpit where he got a good view of his opponent. He stepped into his cockpit sitting in its leather seat. He closed the cockpit door and watched all the switches, lights and knobs flicker on. Soon the screen came on and there Heero could see his opponent at the end of the battle field. From the internal COM system he could hear the voice of the ringmaster.

"Today's fight." He announced, "Between our champion Hiroshi Ashino in the Gundam Ying-Yang verses the challenger Heero Yuy in the Gundam Wing Zero!"

Heero spoke to himself as he looked at his opponent analyzing it like a scientist looking through a microscope, "Mission accepted. Target confirmed. Tactics level cleared. Commence Gundam Fight."

He heard the voice of Hiroshi coming from the Gundam Ying-Yang, "Gundam Fight, ready!"

"Go!" Heero shouted as he shouted the controls of the Wing Zero forward, the engines under the Gundanium wings burning white hot like the sun. He charged down the Gundam Ying-Yang, he grabbed it and held it by its neck. He shoved it down into the concrete ground of the Gundam Dome. Yet he made sure that in all the destruction that he steered clear of the audience who was carefully watching. He knew what he was doing.

"Article 1 of the Gundam Fight International Regulations." Heero stated from his heart, "A Gundam with its head destroyed is disqualified." His voice was as cold as ever, he knew that this fight had to be his, for there were very few people who could even match the skill of the Perfect Soldier. He let go of the Gundam Ying-Yang, it was sent flying against the wall yet the friction between the Gundam and the ground was enough to slow it down before slamming into the audience. Heero had the Wing Zero's wings spread out displaying it in all its glory.

To the audience who cheered uproariously the fight was already over, they had already picked their favorite out of the two. Except to the Perfect Soldier he knew that if someone was a champion of a nation it couldn't be over so easily. He waited and watched, slowly the tattered Gundam Ying-Yang got back to its feet. Heero kept a good grip on his controls waiting for the opponent to make the next move. He watched as the Gundam Ying-Yang split itself down the center. Its red and blue halves seemed to become two separate parts, each half extending out a new leg to support themselves independently. Now, there were two Gundams, one red and one blue facing off against the Perfect Soldier in the Gundam Wing Zero Custom.

Back in the stands of the Gundam Dome, the Shuffle Alliance and the Preventers watched in absolute awe that the champion Gundam had become two separate Gundams. Immediately both Duo and Chibodee stood up from their seats pointing at the Gundam Ying-Yang.

"That's not fair!" They said.

"I agree." Quatre protested, "Article 5 of the Gundam Fight International Regulations states that all fights have to be one to one."

George De Sand, the fighter of Neo France made his opinion, "No, he isn't breaking the rules."

"How can you say that?" Duo asked still in his protest.

"I read up on his fights and he's used this technique before." George explained, "The only reason why this isn't breaking the rules is because Hiroshi Ashino is controlling both."

"Controlling both?" Quatre asked

"That's right." George answered, "I am concerned for Mr. Yuy."

Johan shook his head, "You don't know Heero Yuy like the rest of us, George."

George looked down the isle to the Gundam Pilot, "Why do you say that?"

Johan shook his head to the battle going on beyond the glass, "Just watch. You'll see Heero Yuy, the Perfect Soldier in action."

On the battlefield, Johan was right, Heero simply watched both of them, as they became targets for him to fire at. He knew that he couldn't use the buster rifle here in such a confined area. There was no telling what kind of damage the rifle could do. The only options were the twin Vulcans in the shoulders of the Wing Zero or the beam saber. Heero chose the beam saber. Both targets looking at him, they looked like copies of the original Gundam that was half-red and half-blue. Now there were two Gundams one blue and one red staring at him like mechanical soldiers. The beam saber he drew shinned a bright green hue as he stared down at his opponent.

"Now you will see my best technique." Hiroshi Ashino proclaimed from one of the Gundams. "Double Slash Attack!"

The two Gundams started to shake as if they were having seizures, then they fired straight at Heero. The blue Gundam came at an angle to Heero's right, while the red Gundam crossed that path to Heero's left. As the sped along the concrete floor of the Gundam Dome they left trails, like after images of a flash behind them. The attack seemed perfect since no matter if Heero moved left or right he would be hit. They didn't account for one thing, the mobility of the Wing Zero. Heero was still floating yet the Wing Zero's feet were only a few inches above the ground, so much that it looked like he was on his feet. As the Ying-Yang Gundams came at him he flew up to the ceiling as his opponents did their little attack.

"What?" Hiroshi asked himself, "No one has ever dodged that attack, fight like a man!"

"Roger that." Heero said as he came down with the beam saber in his hand. First he flew straight at the Red Gundam, as he drew closer he said one thing, "Review the rules of the Gundam fight, Article 1." He drew back the beam saber and sliced off the head of the Red Gundam Ying Yang, "A Gundam with its head destroyed is disqualified." He then set his sights on the blue Gundam, which looked like it was running away. Yet, Heero was never one to show mercy in a fight, he drew back the beam saber and shot straight at his running opponent. In one quick stroke he sliced off its head.

As the heads of both Gundams fell to the ground Heero only said one thing, "Mission Complete."

* * *

Well now everyone. The first of the elimination has been set; Heero Yuy the Perfect Soldier of Preventer has been made the representative of Neo Korea. The next elimination is with Neo Ukraine and its Acrobat Gundam piloted by Tasha Siminova. Let's get things started! Gundam Elimination Rounds! Ready, Go!

The Neo Ukraine colony was a very odd one indeed. Even though it was a colony in space there was actually a river flowing through the colony. From a distance it looked like a chunk of the real Ukraine had been pulled up into space itself. Little did the Preventers know that it was all manufactured nearly 72 years ago when people moved into space. Even with the colonies being a copy of the things on Earth they still had a certain odd feeling to it. Even on the Neo Ukraine colony, the multitude of rivers that flowed through it and the houses set next to the water. It almost felt like a combination of French and Russian culture in this place and this was where Trowa Barton was to have his fight with the current champion of Neo Ukraine.

Inside the Gundam Dome of Neo Ukraine, Trowa had caught a sight of his opponent. The Acrobat Gundam, it truly was a sight to see. It was as thin and lanky, as he was as if the Gundam itself was built like an acrobat. Its colors reminded Trowa of a mask he had while performing as a clown in a traveling circus on his own colony. The mask Trowa had was only half a mask, it usually covered the left side of his face. The mask had the typical clown painting, bright red lips that always smiled, blue crosses over the eyes, and the small comical teardrop near that eye. It was funny though, Trowa was always one who never smiled yet this mask always smiled. The other funny part was that in this fight he had brought the mask with him to his Gundam. He placed the half mask over his face as he climbed into his Gundam, the very special Gundam he became attached to all those years ago: The Gundam Heavyarms Custom.

Trowa sat comfortably in his Gundam, the odd cock-eyed feeling of the mask on his face. Though the mask was almost like him, always in a certain state of emotions. The mask was always happy but Trowa was usually sad. He had a very good feeling that this fight would be his, for he was The Silencer.

In the 30-inch screen of the Gundam Heavyarms, he saw a glimpse of his opponent. To his surprise, his opponent was a woman, a beautiful woman, with brown hair that came to her chin yet was brushed back to show her face. She stared at Trowa with bluish eyes that weren't too bright, they weren't too dark, but they were just the right shade.

"Are you ready?" She asked Trowa

Trowa stayed silent as the announcer called out to the audience.

"Today's fight is between our champion, Tasha Siminova of the Gundam Acrobat against the challenger, Trowa Barton in the Gundam Heavyarms."

As before, the crowd cheered when they heard Tasha's name but then they began to boo and hiss at the sound of Trowa's. They detested him like he was a disgrace to everything that the audience held sacred. Knowing the reaction from the first fight, Trowa had a good idea that the audience will change its tune before the day is out.

"Gundam fight!" The Announcer called

"Ready?" Tasha shouted

"GO!" Trowa blared as he brought up his twin-barrel gattling guns and began to fire them at the Gundam Acrobat. Then to his astonishment, Trowa watched as the Gundam Acrobat performed several flips, summersaults and cartwheels while avoiding his bullets. As the bullets flied Trowa saw them hit the glass that separated the Gundam fight from the audience. The bullets were all absorbed into the material like water mixing into more water. The bullets never even got to the audience that confirmed to Trowa something. Now he knew that the people were protected. Now, he could fight in anyway he chose and he wouldn't harm the people watching.

"Nice try, Trowa Barton." Tasha mocked, "But how about this? TUMBLER'S SPIN!"

Trowa looked up at the Acrobat Gundam as it spun in mid air madly like a toy top that had been given a mind of its own. The Gundam had its legs and arms tucked but it spun and spun and continued to spin until a light of blue began to emanate from it. At a time like this any normal person should have gotten out of the line of fire, but Trowa was mesmerized. In all his time of piloting mobile suits he had never seen that type of control from one person. Note even mobile dolls could control a suit like this. At last the blue light emanating from the Gundam had consumed him and the next thing Trowa realized was that the Gundam Heavyarms was on its back. He looked up at the screens and saw the Gundam Acrobat holding up its Gundanium fingers in a peace sign as if it had already won.

"You haven't won yet." Trowa said as he got back on his feet, "Nice trick. But watch the skills of the Silencer!"

The pilot of the Gundam Acrobat Gundam looked from the Mobile Trace System as the Gundam Heavyarms opened up all the compartments in its body. Tasha Siminova was stunned to see the suit containing that many secrets. But that wasn't' the end of it, she saw the Gundam launch missiles at her as well as launch bullets. She tried to skip, summersault, dodge, flip, and cartwheel away from the onslaught but it was no use. From inside the Mobile Trace System she felt the impact of one of the missiles in her face. That's how the Mobile Trace System worked, it sent whatever kind of pressures, heat or explosions it senses back into the pilots' body. She immediately knew that her Gundams head was destroyed, she had lost the match.

Trowa stepped out of the Gundam Heavyarms and looked at the mess that used to be his proud opponent. Deep within him he was over flowing with the knowledge that he had won the fight.

"The Gundam fight is over!" The announcer called, "The winner of the fight is Gundam Heavyarms and its pilot Trowa Barton. He shall now be the representative of Neo Ukraine!"

Trowa heard the loud roar of the crowd. His prediction came true; an audience can be fickle at times. He reached up to take off his mask and rose it to the audience as if it was the grandest trophy of all. The audience didn't understand but they cheered anyway, another part of the mentality of a crowd, they give over to a collective ideal in which if it looks good, cheer for it. Hate your home team when they loose and love them when they win. That's how they thought, at least until Trowa Barton came along, now they had someone new to love, respect and admire. Trowa on the other hand had experienced this praise many times when he did his clown acts in the circus with his "sister" Catherine. He wondered what she would say if she was with him.

"You shouldn't fight, Trowa." She would probably say, "you should listen to your big sister."

She had always proclaimed herself as Trowa's sister, though that remains to be debated. The fight was over, now all that was left for Gundam fights in that day was for Zechs Marquise and the fighter of the Neo Belgium.

* * *

Neo Belgium like so many other colonies was a wondrous place. The houses set upon the river, and the atmosphere there. Every member of the Preventers could feel how old the place is. The history within the air was so thick that it could be smelled. On the other hand it could be just that they were anxious to see their friend, The Lightning Count, Zechs Marquise fight in a one-on-one battle.

As a matter of fact Zechs had taken out his old Oz uniform and his mask of shame for this fight. Fighting as Zechs Marquise to him meant that he had to be him once again. Though for the Preventers to see Miliardo Peacecraft as Zechs Marquise again stirred some very old memories that they hoped wouldn't surface again.

Approaching the Gundam Dome Zechs Marquise met with Lucrezia Noin who was the current leader of Preventer. They met at the fighters entrance to the Gundam Dome. In the shadows of the concrete hallway of the Gundam Dome Miss Noin called to her love.

"Zechs." She called

Zechs looked at Noin through the lenses of his mask, "What is it, Noin?" He asked

"I came to wish you good luck in this match." She said

"You know me better than that, Noin. You know I will win this fight."

Noin shrugged, "I know, I just wanted to see you before you went in."

She walked up to Zechs and placed her arms around his neck. Looking up at his mask she knew both men in her own hear, the Lightning Count, Zechs Marquise as well as the man under the mask, Miliardo Peacecraft. She brought her lips to his feeling the warmth of his face against hers.

"Good luck, Zechs." She said as she left her love to do his battle.

Zechs walked down the entrance of the Gundam Dome to meet up with his opponent. The lights passed over him like streetlights in a car. The only thing that Zechs could think about was how all this was happening. It seemed so surreal at times, in his years at Preventer the people from other worlds came to the office of Preventer and now Preventer was in their territory. The strange feeling of his heart racing was on his mind, trying to figure out what his opponent could do to him.

He came into the light of the stadium, the cheer of the crowd so loud that it numbed out his own thoughts. He looked down the end and there was his opponent. A strange looking Gundam it was, it was all white and looked as normal as a regular mobile suit with a Gundams head on its shoulders. Taking another look, Zechs found his old friend the Gundam Tallgeese III standing proudly with its weapons in its arms. Its long beam cannon, its shield that contained the heat rod from the Gundam Epyon. This was the Gundam forged from the scattered remains of the Gundam Tallgeese II and the Gundam Epyon, both built and once piloted by Trieze Kushrinada. Knowing that and knowing that he was here to find him as well as Lady Une made Zechs feel proud to be here. He stepped up to the lift cable and tugged it to bring him to the cockpit. As he stood on the cockpit platform he looked out at his opponent as the announcer came on.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" He blared, "It's the moment you've been waiting for! The pride of Neo Belgium, the Gundam Diamond and its pilot Frankie "Four Fingers" Bauhoben."

The crowd cheered even greater for its hero.

"His opponent today." The announcer continued as the crowed booed and hissed, "Is a man called The Lightning Count, Zechs Marquise and his Gundam Tallgeese III. Who among these two will be the one to represent Neo Belgium in the 16th Gundam Fight?"

Zechs ignored the insults and hisses at him as he climbed into the cockpit of the Tallgeese. He sat within the seated cockpit of the Tallgeese watching everything turn on. In his mind he thought about how strange and new all of this was. In the past visitors from other worlds, other dimensions, or time lines would come to Preventer but now Preventer was in all new territory. This is the place where they no longer had any dominion. That in itself could be nerve wracking for anyone. He watched as the screens came on and there he saw the Gundam Diamond in his screen. Suddenly it occurred to him, why did this Gundam have the word Diamond in its title? There were no indications of diamonds in the Gundam itself. That made the fight a little more nerve wracking than before. Zechs waited for the call for the fight to begin.

"Gundam fight!" The Announcer called

"Ready?" Frankie asked

"Go!" Zechs cried out as he shoved the controls of the Tallgeese III forward. It sent him flying over the head of the Gundam Diamond. He flew up into the ceiling area of the Gundam dome looking down at the Gundam Diamond like a little insect that he was about to squash under his own tactics.

Frankie "Four Fingers" laughed at Zechs.

"Why are you laughing?" Zechs asked. He had every right to ask that question, because there was a reason why this man was called Frankie "Four Fingers". The reason for that was because he had a very bad gambling habit. That gambling problem gives away to him making stupid bets with very, very dangerous people. Such as one time when he was in Atlantic City he made a very dangerous bet and lost. Since he couldn't pay up, the bookie gave Frankie the chop and that's how he got his name.

"You really are an amateur in a Gundam Fight, Zechs Marquise." Frankie explained. Then suddenly Zechs watched as the Gundam Diamond began to open up. Compartments all over its body opened like secret passageways. They were all over the Gundam body, its arms, its legs, its chest and even around its face. Within those compartments were placed what looked like diamonds, or at least diamond like mirrors.

"Try this, Lightning Count." Frankie Mocked, "DIAMOND FLASH!"

The mirrors within the Gundam Diamond's secret compartments began to flash on and off like a fast working strobe light. Very soon, it gave out a blinding flash so bright that even the people in the stands were starting to cover their eyes. Yet, Frankie "Four Fingers" watched as the Tallgeese III fell from where it was flying and landed on its back. The mirror compartments on the Gundam Diamond closed as it approached the Tallgeese III as if it was a wounded animal being taken for a prize by a game hunter. The Gundam Diamond rose its foot and placed it over the chest of the Tallgeese III.

"Looks like I win." Frankie said as he drew out the Gundam Diamond's beam saber, "Victory is mine."

"I don't think so." Zechs remarked.

Frankie noticed from the Mobile Trace System something moving to his right. It was the left arm of the Tallgeese III, the very arm that had the shield attached to it. From that shield came the heat rod, it snapped out at the Gundam Diamond like a lizard's tongue. Yet, from the manipulators inside it, the heat rod wrapped itself around the neck of the Gundam Diamond.

"Victory is mine!" Zechs shouted as he pulled back the controls of the Tallgeese III, which in turn ripped off the head of the Gundam Diamond as if it were a cheap doll head. Leaving behind it was the empty socked of Gundanium supports and wires that sparked from one wire to the other. Inch by inch, the Gundam Diamond fell backwards as its head rolled away from the grip of the heat rod that recoiled back into the Tallgeese III shield.

Zechs Marquise opened the cockpit door and stepped out hearing the cheer of the crowd. He raised his fist into the air proclaiming that he had won the match. Yet, he couldn't help but wonder about the reaction time of the Gundam Fighters. It seemed as if the Gundams and their fighters were one entity, but why? Then, Zechs decided to put the thought aside and soak up the glory that he had won. It wasn't like winning a battle, there were no crowds on the battlefield, but here there were. It made Zechs smile for the fact that he had won.

To be continued…
