Chapter 5: The New System

*

Well everyone, the second fight of the elimination's is over, Zechs Marquise the masked fighter of Preventer is now the representative of Neo Belgium who had just defeated the Gundam Diamond. Now the next fight is against Neo-Scotland and this fight falls on the shoulders of Duo Maxwell, who was last seen in his hospital bed infected with DG cells. Will he be out of bed for this fight, and will he even with this fight? Let's get things started! Gundam Elimination's Set! Ready? Go!

On the Preventer Ship Tabris, there was a meeting with the Preventers and the Shuffle Alliance. Yet before the meeting was gotten underway, a very familiar person had walked in on them. There he was standing in the doorway, dressed in his balloon pants, black clothes, and priests collar was the God of Death himself, Duo Maxwell. His arm was free of the DG cells and he seemed never happier.

"Hey, what'd I miss?" He asked

His friends brought him up to speed on what has happened. The fact that Trieze Kushrinada and Lady Une were taken by the Unknown Gundam, which they found out, was called the Devil Gundam. It was also reported that in this universe there was a tournament called a Gundam fight. Duo's eyes light up when he heard about the Gundam fight. Then he was told about the fact that Preventer was entered into the Gundam fight.

"Alright, action!" Duo smiled

Chibodee Crocket from across the table was laughing, "I like this kid!"

His teammates leaned in to find out why.

"He reminds me of myself when I was younger." Chibodee explained

Johan then brought up something else that should be brought to Duo's attention, "I'm glad you're in high spirits, Duo." Johan smiled, "Because you're next to fight."

Duo raised his eyebrows at Johan, "Whom am I fighting?"

"You'll be fighting Neo Scotland to earn the title of representative for that country."

"Good." Duo cracked his knuckles, "I'll kick their ass with my Gundam DeathScythe Hell Custom."

"We should be arriving at Neo Scotland anytime now." Miss Noin reported

"There is something else I wish to bring up." Zechs pointed out

"What is it Zechs?" Miss Noin asked

"I've noticed that the Gundam Fighters reaction time is quicker than our systems. I'm wondering why."

Rain had the explanation, "That's because of the Mobile Trace System."
Quatre leaned forward with intent, "Tell us about this Mobile Trace System." He requested

Rain tried to think of an explanation, "Basically, it's a system that synchronizes the pilot with its mobile fighter. Thus the fighter and the Gundam become one. Though there is a catch. Whatever damage or pain the Gundam may feel is thus inflicted back onto the pilot."

"Hell with that!" Duo said, "I'm sticking with my system."

"No," Trowa said, "I can see where Zechs is going with this."

"Where is he going?" Johan asked

"I think he's proposing that we all have this mobile trace system installed into our Gundams. If we are to fight we must fight them on their level instead of with our regular cockpits."

Rain as well as the others looked surprised, "You mean you've been fighting with just normal cockpits?"

"That's correct." Trowa answered, "I feel that with our skills we should be able to use the Mobile Trace System."

Domon scoffed, "Kids shouldn't pilot the Mobile Trace System."

Duo slammed his fist on the table, "WE'RE NOT KIDS!"

"Stand down Duo!" Johan brought about the peace, "please, everyone calm down." Johan took a deep breath as if he was instructing the others, "Now, Rain. Do you think you can install the Mobile Trace System into our Gundams?"

"Install a Mobile Trace System into an already built Gundam?" Rain asked, "Sounds tricky, plus we'd have to make a core lander."

"A what?" Duo scratched his head

"A core lander." Rain repeated, "A vehicle that can operate on the Gundam as well as independently of the Gundam. It could be anything from a car, a motorcycle, or even a hover-board."

"I agree with Zechs." Quatre said, "If we should fight them on their level then we must use the technology."

Heero added another piece to the discussion, "Do we even have the time to do it? And let's not forget that Duo's fight is coming up."

"We have a week before the Gundam Fight starts." Rain said in doubt, "I don't think I can do it in that time."

"On this ship," Johan explained, "We have a fully trained staff of engineers, scientists and technicians. Work with them, I'm sure you can do something, also don't replace the whole system. I think that all of us wish to use the regular cockpit system at certain times. Do you think you can do that?"

Rain scratched her head, "I think it can be done, but I still need to know what kind of vehicle all of you want for core landers."

"We'll think of that later on." Miss Noin said, "Now, the time has come. Neo-Scotland is coming up" She looked out the window at the Neo-Scotland colony, from a far it was like all the others, an island in space, yet it had the mist, the lakes, and hills of Scotland in it.

"Duo." Miss Noin called

Duo stood at attention, "Yes, ma'am."

"Get to the DeathScythe Hell. Get ready for this fight."

"Yes, ma'am."

As Duo Maxwell went to the Gundam DeathScythe, the Preventers and the Shuffle Alliance went to the Gundam Dome to watch whatever fight was going on. As it turned out the Shuffle Alliance found out about a fight that was to take place before the big match between the pride of Neo-Scotland and Duo Maxwell. On the way to the Gundam Dome there was one member of Preventer that wanted to get something off of his chest, or rather out of his pocket.

Heero Yuy reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a long silver cylinder object. He looked ahead to find the enormous hint of red that was Domon Kasshu's cape. He sped up his pace to meet up with the King of Hearts. As he did he held the object in his hand until he came within range of Domon and he held out the object to him.

"What's this?" Domon asked

"A Preventer Standard Issue Beam Saber." Heero explained, "Beam color; Crimson Red."

Domon closed his eyes in arrogance and smiled justly so along with it, "I get it." He said, "you felt guilty about slicing my katana in half so you're giving me this present."

Domon looked back at Heero's face to confirm his assumption but Heero only stared back coldly. It seemed so eerie to Domon because this kid was acting just like he was during the beginning of the 13th Gundam Fight when he lost most of his family, his teacher, and his brother. Yet, this boy had such coldness in his eyes that there didn't seem to be anything left in him, at least nothing that he wanted to show.

"That's not what I'm saying." Heero said, "I'm just giving this to you since you lost your weapon and you need a replacement."

Domon looked at the object and took it from Heero's hand. He studied for a few moments as he continued to walk with his friends who seemed to be intrigued by the "gift" that the King of Hearts had received from the Perfect Soldier. Domon finally had to ask a very simply question but was extremely award to say.

"How does it work?" He asked

Heero pointed to the beam generator, which was pointing right at Domon's stomach.

"That's where the beam comes out." Heero stated, "And its lucky that you didn't activate it otherwise you would have impaled yourself before even using it."

Domon slowly and careful turned the beam saber around so he didn't look even more foolish than he already did. He then studied its exterior and found a small red button and pressed it and that was when the beam extended out from the generator. The entire casing hummed with the frequency of the beam. Its color sent waves of red across Domon's face even in broad daylight. He was amazed because the only time he would see something like this was when his God Gundam would draw out its beam saber to do his other attack called Bakarestu God Slash. Domon reached up and pressed the button again, watched the beam shrink back into the casing and felt the humming within the casing fade away. Domon as well as the rest of the Shuffle Alliance was in awe of this thing because only their mobile fighters could wield such weapons but here these people found a way to compact it.

"How did you do this?" the young Sai-Saichi asked

"That would be a small innovation by me." Johan spoke up, "I figure if our mobile suits can have them why not us?"

Rain scratched her head, "Maybe its because the need so much power?" She said in such a sarcastic tone that she really wanted to overstate the obvious.

"Not really." Johan backfired, "Because your still thinking in the mobile suits scale, which is far greater than ours, all you need to do is shrink down the scale of it, thus it would need less power than that of a mobile suit beam saber. That way you get this." Johan pulled out his beam saber which was curved into an odd shape, he reached out his pinky finger and pulled a button that looked like a trigger and out came the beam of his saber, a bright green color. Johan held it up with pride.

"It used to be just a small gift to my friend, Duo." Johan reminisced, "But now everyone at Preventer has one."

Haruka stepped it, she forced Johan to sheath his beam saber. "Forgive Johan." She smiled, "He does like to show off at times."

Johan winked at Haruka, "In or out of bed?"

Haruka gave her husband a light slap on his shoulder, "Not now." She said

"Hey." Chibodee Crocket called out, "We better get in or we'll miss the good seats."

* * *

Inside the Gundam Dome, the Shuffle Alliance and the Preventers found good seats. Though the fight was something very odd indeed to the eyes of Preventer. The designs of the Gundams in this universe had taken a slight leap from being innovative to being a little absurd. At one end of the arena there was a Gundam that looked like it was dressed in a kilt with its plaid colors striped all over it and a strap that came over its right shoulder. On its head above the yellow spikes and Gundam face was something that looked like a Scottish Golfers hat. The hat was flattened plaid and small ball of fuzzy yarn at the top. On its back was a golfer bag that had golf clubs in it. It truly did look a little absurd with all the parts that might have been made of cloth, such as the kilt, the golfer bag, and the hat, but instead they were made out of Gundanium or whatever kinds of materials were used in this strange universe. There were quite a few eyebrows raised at this design, which was when the informer of the group, Rain Mikamura Kasshu informed them.

"The Gundam down there." She pointed to the one that looked like a golfer, "That's the Golf Gundam, piloted by Duff Wallace. Supposedly he had been banned from every golf course on Earth and in the Colonies for his bad behavior. And that's what brought him into the Gundam Fight."

"Whose the other fighter?" Trowa Barton asked coldly

Rain pointed in the other direction, "That's the defending champion, the Highlander Gundam."

All eyes of the Shuffle Alliance and the Preventers looked down towards the other end of the arena. There was a Gundam that was close in design to the Golf Gundam, except for the fact that it didn't have the Golfers bag or hat. It still had the kilt but in a very different pattern and color. Upon its face was just like any other Gundam, the same kind of Gundanium face, yellow spikes on the brow. In its hand was a an enormous beam sword that looked a little bit like the sword that was wielded by one of the most dangerous Gundams that the Preventers had faced, the Gundam Epyon. The two Gundams faced each other like two gladiators in a Roman arena.

"It's pilot." Rain continued, "Is William McLeod, whose been going to the Gundam fight for the past two Gundam Fights. It is said that no one has been able to defeat him."

The announcer came on, "Gundam fight!" He called out, "Ready! Go!"

The Golf Gundam drew out its enormous Gundanium golf club and from the right vantagepoint it could be seen that from one of its feet came a golf ball. The Golf Gundam then took its perfect swing that sent the ball flying at the Highlander Gundam.

"Perfect Swing!" Duff Wallace the Golf Gundam Pilot called in his thick Scottish accent, "Four!"

The ball flew right into the Highlander Gundam's face but that was the point when the Highlander Gundam brought about its sword and sliced the ball in two. It was as if the ball was produce to the Gundam ready to be sliced for serving. The crowd cheered for the pride of Neo-Scotland.

"My…" Duff Wallace stuttered, "that was my perfect swing, no one dodges it."

"I just did." William McLeod stated as he dashed as if the Devil himself possessed the Gundam and it brought about the beam sword and sliced off the Gundams head. In an instant the fight was over.

"The winner is William McLeod!" The announcer shouted, "The current champion of Neo-Scotland, but his next opponent is very little known, let's see if this no name can rise up to the challenge of Neo-Scotland!"

The Shuffle Alliance and the Preventers relaxed as they watched worker crews come out and clean up the remains and wreckage of the Golf Gundam as well as medical teams taking care of its pilot. That was when the challenging Gundam was rolled in through the Gundam sized doors. The Preventers smiled looking at it and knowing how much damage the DeathScythe had inflicted and how much it had equally (perhaps even more-so) taken from enemies. They couldn't ignore the skill of the pilot as well as his sneakiness. That was Duo in a nutshell, he may run and hide but he'd never tell a lie.

"Let's see how well this kid can stand up to this fighter." Domon said out-loud leaning forward.

Johan shook his head, "Watch." He said, "He may be outmatched, but Duo is crafty, he'll think of a way to sneak around this fighter."

"You have a lot of confidence in him." George stated, he stated it in such that high tone that suggested he was looking down upon Duo. Then again with his high class George did look down on Duo as a commoner a poor boy next to his rich kid persona. Then again, he truly didn't know Duo's full capabilities.

The announcer then blared the names, "Everyone, it's the moment you've been waiting for! The pride of Neo-Scotland, William McLeod in the Highlander Gundam verses his opponent; the no name challenger out of the woodwork: Duo Maxwell in the Gundam DeathScythe Hell. Gundam Fight! Ready? Go!"

The Highlander Gundam brought about its beam sword like it did in the last fight against the Golf Gundam. To the eyes of the Shuffle Alliance it looked as if the Highlander Gundam was going to win this fight without even the slightest rise out of Duo. Yet, just as the Highlander Gundam was about to chip off the DeathScythe's head, the opposing Gundam vanished into thin air. The crowd gasped, the Highlander Gundam was stunned, and the Preventers were satisfied. It was like an enormous magic trick; a Gundam had vanished before their very eyes.

"What just happened?" Sai Saichi asked while he rubbed his eyes.

"That's one of the DeathScythe's great features." Johan explained, "Active Cloak. Knowing Duo, he's going to think of a sneaky way to sneak on that Gundam. Look at him, he doesn't even have a clue to what's going on."

It was true, the Highlander Gundam didn't have a single clue as to what happened. All the pilot could do was look around and pull a stupid face. That was when it really hit the fan. Behind the Highlander Gundam appeared the outline of the Gundam DeathScythe. The metallic wings were open to reveal its Gundam body and in its hand was its double bladed beam scythe. He raised it and in one swipe severed the head of the Highlander Gundam away from its shoulders.

"I win!" Duo shouted with glee, "I am the God of Death! Anyone who messes with me is gonna die!"

In the audience, the Shuffle Alliance and the Preventers applauded Duo's triumph. Duo was like the hand up Mona Lisa's skirt. A surprise that no one would ever see coming, that was his style, sneaky and covert. He may run and hide but he'll never tell a lie.

* * *

This story has gotten quite exciting hasn't it folks? The Preventers have been slowly working their way into the ranks of the Gundam Fight. Already Duo Maxwell with his sneak tactics has managed to claim the title of Representative to Neo Scotland. So, who is next in the Elimination's set? It is the Clockwork Pilot, Alexandria DeLarge against the champion of Neo-England, John Steed and his Avenger Gundam. Let's get things started! Gundam Elimination's Set! Ready? Go!

The Preventers had certainly made a habit of jumping around from colony to colony in this strange place. Though in that time between the first set of elimination's and this second set some very special modifications were taking place in the mobile suit bay. As requested by the Preventers, the Mobile Trace System was being installed in conjunction with the normal cockpit system.

The Preventer Mobile Suits were lined up against the wall opposite of the Shuffle Alliance Mobile Fighters. The Preventers suits looked wrecked with their insides torn out and being refitted in different areas of the mobile suit bay. Rain Mikamura Kasshu kept looking over each one making sure that it was just right while Howard the Chief Engineer was learning this new technology.

"This is a pretty brilliant system." Howard complemented

"If I was the person who invented it." Rain said a little flustered, "Then I'd take that as a compliment."

"Well it is." Howard repeated, "Its similar to what one of our previous guests told us about their machines."

Rain looked at Howard confused, "Previous guests?" She asked

"Several items here at Preventer we've had guests come from different universes. One of them is what we called the Eva Universe. Where these two kids and this young woman came in and these two kids were forced to pilot a robot called Eva. It was the Eva that used a system similar to this Mobile Trace System."

Rain was curious about the two kids, "How old were they?"

Howard cupped his chin, "I would roughly say that they were no older than 14 at best."

Rain covered her mouth in shock, "My god." She said, "Those poor children."

"I wouldn't worry about them." Howard shrugged, "They were real troopers, especially when they helped us out. Now, how does all this look?"

"We still need time, but thanks to the prioritization that you came up with, the Gundam Clockwork is done, though choosing a vehicle for a core lander is a different matter."

"I spoke with Alexandria." Howard reported, "Even though I didn't understand her speech I gathered she wanted a car to be her core lander."

"Then a car it is, that'll be the easiest to make."

"Except for the fact that the fight is today." Howard pointed out, "How important is the core lander?"

"Well, at this point not very because all the core lander will do is connect to the cockpit and the engines. Perhaps we can hold off on the Core Lander until the fight is over, but the only thing that's left is to determine the look of the Mobile Trace System Suit for the pilot."

"Already took care of it." Howard nodded, "Now we can see one of our own pilots use this system."

* * *

Later that day on the Neo-England colony, the fight was about to take place. The champion John Steed in the Avenger Gundam verses Alexandria DeLarge in her Gundam Clockwork. Inside the Gundam Dome the Avenger Gundam looked amazingly ridiculous to Alexandria, it looked as if a man dressed in an English Gentlemen's suit with the derby, umbrella, suit and tie had been transformed into a Gundam with his clothes in tact. Alexandria could only laugh at such a ridiculous design. She got into the cockpit of the Gundam Clockwork, the first mobile suit to actually have the Mobile Trace System and the Regular Cockpit in place. She sat in the cockpit seat and looked toward her immediate right and there was a piece on the control panel that had red and white strips running diagonally like a Christmas Candy Cane. She reached out and opened it. Inside it were several switched, remembering her instructions from Howard.

"To Activate the Mobile Trace System, just flip all the switches and press that button at the bottom."

She flipped all the switches and pressed the last button that like the panel had red and white stripes. Alexandria felt the cockpit chair began to sink into the floor of the cockpit, she got up to her feet and began to take off her clothes. As some members of the Shuffle Alliance explained it to her that one had to basically be naked while being fitted into the Mobile Trace Systems Suit. She placed her clothes into the storage area, which was in back of the cockpit. She looked around and saw the control panel begin to take shape into one of the three rings of the Mobile Trace system. She then watched as it began to rise above her head along with two others.

Above her she saw the Mobile Trace Suit material with the hole in it getting ready to come down. She watched it come down over her as if someone was putting on a sweater for her. Yet this didn't feel like a sweater against her skin, it felt like a combination of latex and spandex. She had to keep herself relaxed as the material came over her body. As the Shuffle Alliance told her that if she tensed up too much it could break every bone in her body. She relaxed as this odd feeling material covered every inch of her body. Then it was done, the ring came down to her feet and she pulled herself away from the material and she was now covered in this material. At the same time she still felt naked but clothed as well. She heard the voice of the computer.

"Checking pilots vital signs." It said, "Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and brain waves. All Green."

Alexandria looked at the suit she was given it was all black with the symbol she requested that lay between her breasts, a clock that slightly resembled the slices of an orange. Yet the antennae wasn't the yellow spikes like in previous Gundam Fights. A way was found to condense them into just shoulder pads and wrist pads. The pieces for the back were only implanted with a long strip running within the spandex/latex material of the suit. Yet, this wasn't the only modification that the new Mobile Trace System had, as Alexandria would soon know.

Looking around her she saw in 360-degree angles everything that was around her Gundam Clockwork. She moved her body and the Gundam moved around with her in the same motions. She looked across at her opponent who stood silently waiting. She heard the announcer come on telling the start of it all.

"Gundam Fight! Ready?"

"Go!" Alexandria shouted as she involuntarily reached for her beam scythe. As she did she marveled as she saw a holographic image of the scythe appear in her hands as if it was hers. It wasn't like a jagged image of light like in previous Mobil Trace Systems. This was a little more accurate. She looked as the scythe as it was only outlined in orange light.

She looked at her opponent who was only walking casually towards her. The Avenger Gundam then opened up its umbrella to reveal its payload of missiles. It fired them all as if it was like the Gundam Heavyarms at the Clockwork. It was a good thing that the wings were down; otherwise it would have done serious damage. That was the first time that Alexandria experienced the pain feedback from the Mobile Trace System. The feeling of those missiles impacting the Clockwork's outer shields made Alexandria feel like someone made some sharp hits in her chest.

"Naughty, naughty." Alexandria smiled as she unleashed her own payload.

She opened the Clockworks wings revealing the hidden missiles that she had. All of them launched at once and they impacted the target indefinitely. Yet, Alexandria knew that the fight wouldn't' be over until either her head or his Gundam head would come off his neck. In the smoke that the missiles generated, she saw the opportunity, she went in and sliced him. She waited for the smoke to clear and that was when she looked to the ground to find that not only had she sliced off the opponent's head but his arm as well.

"Looks like I win, droog." She smiled.

To be continued…
