Chapter 14: The Match Ups

*

Well now everyone, the games for the Final Battle have begun, and now the fights for the Fellowship have begun. The first match will be between Neo Spain's Gundam Ryu and Neo Mexico's Gundam Quatzelquatal. Let's get things started! Gundam Final Battle! Ready! Go!

At the Neo-Spain hangar, Johan arrived to look upon his Gundam before the fight tomorrow. The hangar wasn't that enormous, it was just large enough to house the Gundam, a crew, and some equipment to repair the machine. Thankfully the Gundam didn't need any kind of repair and so the hangar was empty. Johan couldn't' help but stare at the Neo-Spain flag that had the strips of red and yellow with the eagle crest and an odd yellow n-shape under that crest. Johan knew from spending time in this universe that the n-shape signified "neo" in the country name.

Situated around the Gundam were bridges and catwalks as if they Gundam was still being built. One catwalk crossed the chest section of the Gundam where the cockpit door was located. There was actually a break in the guardrail so that the cockpit could be more easily accessed. At the sides of the catwalks there were small elevators that would reach it. Johan went to the elevator and went up to the Gundam. As he walked down the catwalk hearing the clip-clop of his boots against the steel catwalk beneath him. The cockpit door of the Gundam Ryu coming closer. As the cockpit door was in front of him, Johan leaned back on the guardrail and looked up to the face of the machine. It stayed motionless staring with blank eyes no life whatsoever.

"Did I do the right thing?" Johan asked as he remembered back to when he made that joint attack on Treize and the Devil Gundam. "Will the battles be meaningless?"

Johan didn't realize this but he was actually talking out loud. Yet, the inner voice and the external voice (when there's no one present) seem to be one and the same. As Johan allowed the questions to slip out of his mouth he heard a voice call out from behind him.

"You think too much, you know that?" The voice asked

Johan spun around and there was the fighter of Neo-Mexico, Shakira. She looked up at him down from the concrete floor and at the height that Johan was at she looked like an insect that was ready to be squashed.

"What are you doing here?" Johan asked

"Nice to see you again, too." Shakira said, "I came by to with you good luck."

"Do you do this with everyone that you plan to fight?"

"Nope." Shakira shook her head, "I'm making an acceptation for you, as a matter of fact, I have a gift for you."

"Beware the Greeks baring gifts." Johan recited an ancient line.

"You don't trust me?" Shakira asked, but Johan knew that tone. It was called the "puppy-dog pout" in which Shakira looked up at him with a very sad and pathetic look that made Johan bend a little bit.

Johan came down from the catwalk he was on and then met up with the singer/fighter. She had her hands behind her back so well that he couldn't see what she was hiding behind her. She then smiled and brought the gift from behind her back to her front. Johan looked and saw a mass of folded fabric. Yet in the light of the hangar it seemed to shine just a tad. He reached for it and unfurled it. Johan looked as he gazed at a white trench coat, its whiteness reflected the light on a semi-glossy surface while inside its lining was black and shinned even more than the surface.

"I noticed that your jacket was a little scruffy." Shakira said, "This one is vinyl with a satin lining."

Johan never noticed it until Shakira brought it up, but he looked down and found his coat to have rips, tears, and even the shoulder seems were coming apart. He smiled when Shakira brought this up and gladly accepted the coat.

"Thank you." He said

"Just don't let this little gift interfere with how you're going to fight tomorrow." Shakira warned, "Ok?"

"Sure. I'll hold nothing back, as I always fight." Johan reported

Shakira leaned near the Star Dragon and kissed him on his cheek, she then looked at Johan dead in the eye, turned and walked out of the hangar. While, Johan looked at the coat he was given and then took off the one he had. He tossed it to the ground like an old rag and slipped on the new coat. He felt the smooth feeling of the inner lining and the surface of the coat. He then looked to the trench coat on the ground and saw something come out of one of the pockets. It was his wallet. He picked it up and as it came into his hand he noticed his Preventer badge. He smiled and then looked back at the Gundam Ryu.

"I shall fight." Johan thought, "I have to finish what I started in Treize's memory."

* * *

The next day at the battleground, the crowd had gathered in boats around the arena, while there were cheering fans watching at home and in the stands. The arena itself was a different type of Gundam Dome, it was from previous Gundam fights that had used the force field so that way spectators could view inside it. Though the force field wasn't activated yet, it was waiting for its fighters to arrive. The first to arrive on the scene was the Gundam Quatzelquatal, it was an enormous machine. It was about the size of the Cobra Gundam from the 13th Gundam Fight. It was 54 feet long and snake like, no sign that it had legs or arms whatsoever, yet its Gundanium exterior made it look like it was made of feathers. The Gundanium feathers were like that of the Wing Zero, except that they were stretched across the length of this snake-Gundam. Its face was like that of a Chinese Dragon, its Gundanium feathers spreading out like a headdress and giving away to its body. It was said that in the Mayan Culture, Quatzelquatal was the feathered serpent and there it was slithering its way into the ring. It coiled as it waited for its opponent.

"This is truly a unique Gundam, Ladies and Gentlmen." The announcer blared, "unlike the traditional style this one like only a few others has taken an animal style to its construction. The Gundam Quatzelquatal of Neo-Mexico, now all we need is to wait for the opposing Gundam Ryu of Neo-Spain. And here it comes!"

The Gundam Ryu came out of the sky in its bird mode at first. Then as it passed over the crowd of boats it changed into its mobile suit mode and landed right inside the ring. It knelt down before the Gundam Quatzelquatal as if it was a knight before its king. As it began to come back onto its feet it spread out its wings that were like those of a dragon.

"Amazing ladies and Gentlemen. Both Gundams are very unique in their own right, now let's see the outcome of this fight."

Inside the cockpit of Gundam Ryu, Johan was in his MTS suit and ready to fight Shakira. He made the first move, "Gundam fight!" He called

"Ready?" Shakira asked as the Quatzelquatal recoiled back like a Rattlesnake ready to strike at its prey.

"Go!" Johan shouted as the Gundam Ryu sped forward with the buster shield in one hand and the buster rifle in the other. Though Johan made a fatal flaw, he didn't see the tail of the Quatzelquatal coil itself around the ring so that it was out of the line of sight. As Johan was charging to the head of the Gundam, its body came up and wrapped itself around the Gundam. As its Gundanium coils wrapped themselves around the Star Dragon, Johan felt the pressure on his arms and rib-cage.

"You're going to squeeze me to death are you?" Johan asked

"Oh, no." Shakira said, "I'm not going to squeeze you, I'm going to shock you!"

Johan looked up as the jaws of the Gundam Quatzelquatal opened and out from them came lightning. The bolts came down at Johan as if he was the tallest object in the middle of a lightning storm. As the electricity reached him he felt the burning and pin-prickling sensation that was all around his body. It was so fast and so intense that Johan couldn't help but scream out in pain.

"AHHH!" He screamed as the pain became more unbearable.

"So, the great Johan isn't invincible." Shakira smiled, "and your win against me was just a fluke."

Johan suddenly thought of all of his friends, even in this state of absolute pain he couldn't help but think about them. It seemed so strange that usually in these states he would be so absorbed into what was happening that he couldn't think about anything else, but he did. He remembered back to the Junk and the stuff he poured over his rice. The hollow worm. It's a small creature but it fighters others bigger than it, and it always wins because it never gives up.

"You can't win." Johan said, "because I am the Star Dragon!"

The wings of the Ryu opened up and Johan ordered the Vernier thrusters to fire and they did. Yet, the exhaust of their intense flames didn't go down to the ground, they went to the coil of the Gundam Quatzelquatal. It burned its was until the Gundanium began to melt under the extreme heat, but that wasn't all. The burning sensation was felt by Shakira in her legs, the heat burned into her as if she was being branded like a cow. Her only action was to release the Ryu, as she did to feel the pain the Ryu bolted out of the coils and flew up to the ceiling of the force field.

"I'm different than last time, Shakira." Johan stated, "I haven't shown you my specialty technique."

The Ryu had lost both its buster shield and rifle when the Quatzelquatal had wrapped its coils around him, so Johan decided on another technique he developed. He reached to the shoulder of the Ryu and pulled out the beam saber.

"Try this." Johan smiled, "These hands of mine are burning red! Their bright cry tells me to beat you! Star Dragon Fire Blade!"

As he held the beam saber, it grew to a size so huge that its tip was touching the force field around the ring. That was when Johan brought down the sword upon the Gundam Quatzelquatal. To Shakira, she didn't even have a chance to think about what was going on. The sword's light seemed to encompass every inch of her MTS screen. To Johan, he didn't aim for the cockpit, he only aimed for the body of the Gundam. As the sword sliced through the Gundanium metal it carved its way into the arena floor. At once the Gundam fell to the ground not even having a chance to fight back against the attack. Then again having a beam of light coming down on you, it freezes all thought.

"Gundam Ryu is the winner!" The announcer blared.

Though it wasn't over as far as Johan was concerned. He had the Gundam Ryu kneel down to the arena floor and the cockpit door opened. He stepped out and watched the cockpit door of the Quatzelquatal open and out rolled Shakira. She coughed for a moment and then she stood up and looked at the pilot of the Gundam that had defeated her. She looked at it feeling that history truly had repeated itself again.

"Was my win still a fluke?" Johan asked

Shakira shook her head and then called out, "Looks like you earned that jacket I gave you." She said.

* * *

Later that day on Han's Junk, the Fellowship gathered together to celebrate Johan's victory. There was a great deal of cheering for the Star Dragon, especially from the children. As well as the more rowdy of the group, they cheered for Johan as if he was the returning hero from a war.

"Congratulations, Johan." Chibodee smiled as he wrapped his arm around Johan's neck in a buddy-buddy sort of way. Johan managed to get out of the friendly headlock that Chibodee had put Johan into, though the one thing that he was waiting for was from his love, Haruka.

"Well done, Johan." She said as she wrapped his arms around his neck, Johan placed his hands in the arch of her back, and the two kissed. To them the kiss was like tasting the first drop of water after crossing the desert. It was desperately needed between the two of them.

"Wooo!" Duo and Chibodee cheered for them. They knew that Johan and Haruka loved each other, much like how Domon loved Rain, how Heero loved Relena, and so on. There was a great amount of love in the room. All of them ignoring the fact that they'd have to fight each other one day. Though in this competition it isn't as much of a life and death situation as it was against the Devil Gundam. Here it was more fun and games for all of them, such as the playfulness about battles between Domon and Allenby.

The party continued, then Chibodee, the Neo-American fighter pulled out a bottle liquor, "I say we celebrate." Chibodee was the kind of man who couldn't exactly resist a party, it was like an itch that he just could not resist to scratch. It's a compulsion that Chibodee loved and never wanted to turn away from.

Cathy, the leader of Chibodee's crew then brought down the bottle and took it from his hand as if it was a candy that he wasn't supposed to have. Much in the same way a mother tried to hide a cookie jar away from the children.

"Sorry, Chibodee." She said, "Not tonight, you have a match tomorrow."

"Sorry, mom." Chibodee smiled sarcastically then took it seriously, "Who am I fighting."

Bunny reported the fight, "You'll be fighting Neo-Jamaica's fighter, Dancer Gundam."

Chibodee only smiled at the sound of the Gundam, "Sounds really whoosie, I'll beat it with my Bursting Machine-gun Punch!"

As the minor celebration continued inside the Junk, the person who was being celebrated stepped out onto the deck. The only one who came to see him was Haruka. She stood by his side looking out to the ocean. There was never an air of distrust between those two, at least not in the past. Circumstances had changed in recent days. Haruka had actually followed Johan to that bar where he met up with Shakira as well as to the hangar where she saw Shakira kiss John on the cheek. She watched all of it from the shadows and when she saw Shakira kiss him she felt betrayed on the inside. She felt hot from the anger she had, the contempt for Shakira for stealing her husband. Yet, she remembered all the things in the past that Johan had done for her, how he risked his life to save her and gone to the edge of sanity just to see her again.

"Who gave you the coat?" she asked rather playfully

Johan giggled, "You're not going to believe this, but it was Shakira. She gave it to me as a gift since my last coat was getting pretty torn up."

"Is that all she gave to you?" Haruka asked

Johan looked to Haruka and she saw him smiling in the dying light of the setting sun, "Now Haruka." Johan said, "You know me better than that."

Haruka then smiled knowing that Johan was loyal, unlike most men whom would much sooner cheat, but not Johan. She then scotched herself closer to Johan's side as if they were sitting on a park bench like the lovers they were. She laid her head on Johan's shoulder and then made a nice suggestion.

"You know." She said playfully again, "the Neo-Australian government had put me in a very pash hotel. The bed is very warm, soft and very big."

Johan giggled once again, "You just can't get enough can you?"

Haruka gave him a light shove, "When was the last time we had any?"

Johan didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"If you or I have to think about it," Haruka stated, "It's been too long. Let's get going."

She took Johan hand and lead him off the Junk and to the place where the Neo-Australian government had placed Haruka. As the two of them headed off there were three other couples back on the Junk who watched them go off. It was Domon with Rain and Heero with Relena and George De Sand with his fiancée Miss Marie Louis. The pairs of them watched those two go off.

"Do you think its safe to let them go?" Rain asked Domon

"I think Johan's earned it." Domon said, "He's won his first fight here and with his specialty technique. So, let them have their fun."

"And how about us?"

Domon looked to Rain very curiously, "What do you mean, Rain?"

Rain took Domon's hand and led him off the Junk, "I think you can put the pieces together by the time we get back to the hotel."

"But I thought about staying on Han's Junk." Domon said

Rain came up to him face to face, "I think that our place might be the most appropriate place."

Domon still didn't understand what Rain was talking about, but he went along with her, while the last remaining couples talked among themselves. The first few to observe what had just happened were George De Sand and Miss Marie Louis.

"George?" Marie asked

"Yes, my lady." George addressed her

"Will you escort me back to the embassy?" She asked holding out her hand.

"I'd be honored to."

It seemed odd for them to act this way since George had proposed to Miss Marie Louis just under a year ago. He had promised that he'd marry her after the Gundam Fight. George still couldn't help but admire the features that Miss Marie Louis had grown into. Every inch and curve of her seemed intoxicating to his senses. Yet, George was always one to act as a gentleman at all times and under the greatest of circumstances, even around his bride to be.

The ones left back on the Junk were Heero and Relena. Relena may have looked at Heero but Heero only stared into the darkening waters that lapped around the edge of the junk and the posts for the peer.

"It seems that everyone is being matched up, aren't they?" Relena asked Heero

"Yes." Heero responded.

"Heero." Relena approached the Perfect Soldier, "Do you remember that night that you confessed everything to me?"

"I do." Heero answered, "I didn't think, I only felt. I acted upon my emotions. It was the right way to do it."

"Heero." Relena whispered and in the fading light she looking into the cobalt blue eyes of the Perfect Soldier as she asked on simple thing of Heero, "Love me."

That night in their proper places the couples that had left the Junk at the bay of Neo-Tokyo shared love like never before. Some of them had passions that they never thought that could ever exist in such a cold and chaotic universe. All of them knew what love was in their hearts, their minds and tired bodies. The love that they felt was so sweet that they could still taste it until the next morning.

* * *

In that next morning the Neo-American star, Chibodee Crocket got up to get to his fight. Though unlike several members of the Fellowship, Chibodee had slept alone that night. He only wanted to concentrate on the fight ahead of him. His pride as a fighter told him that once he got through this fight, the closer he would be to fighting the rest of the Fellowship to see who was the best fighter among them. Chibodee liked to think that he was the best fighter of the Fellowship, but as the Preventers had proven to him time and again that no one is the absolute best. Everyone in the group had a unique quality about themselves and their Gundams that contributed to the group. Though Chibodee's pride (or arrogance) blinded him from seeing that fact.

Chibodee's opponent was the Dancer Gundam from Neo-Jamaica. The Gundam itself looked like…well, just like its title suggested. The Gundam had the colors of black, green, red and yellow, much like the colors of the Jamaican flag. Yet the Gundam itself looked just like a rather scrawny built person. And this was the opponent for Chibodee Crocket, the American Dream, and the pride of Neo-America? Chibodee couldn't help but laugh at this.

Then the voice of the Dancer Gundam came on, the voice was high which immediately made Chibodee think that it was a woman. The pilot of the Gundam was Joy Hermes, she spoke out in defiance of Chibodee, "You may laugh now, but just you wait when I kick your ass, boy!"

"Who are you calling boy?!" Chibodee demanded

The force field came up over the arena and that was the signal to start it all.

"Gundam Fight!" Chibodee called out

"Ready?" Joy asked

"Go!"

The blue boxing clamps of the Gundam Maxter came down over the firsts and Chibodee was ready to use them. As he did, he heard music coming from the Dancer Gundam. It sounded with a constant thump-thump. That was when he heard Joy Hermes called out,

"It's Hammer Time." She said in a quick tongue. "A little song by my ancestor."

That was when the song started

You can't touch this
You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this


My my my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat uh you can't touch

I told you homeboy (You can't touch this)
Yeah that's how we living and you know (You can't touch this)
Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can't touch this)

The Dancer Gundam began to vent a strange kind of smoke, a grayish-white smoke. Though it didn't camouflage the Dancer Gundam, but as the smoke seeped into the cockpit of the Gundam Maxter, Chibodee suddenly felt very strange. As he breathed in the smoke he suddenly began to feel very relaxed, cool, and very…. He couldn't figure out the words to describe it. The only word he could think of was a word that hadn't been uttered in America for centuries. A word that no one knew the meaning of, it could only be experienced to even understand it. Chibodee felt…groovy.

"I'm feeling good." He said out-loud. As he did he felt his knees weaken like they were made out of Jell-O. His legs felt wobbly as he began to fall down onto his knees, even with the support of his knees, his legs felt rubbery and loose. That wasn't the end of it, the feeling he had in his knees and legs had spread up to his neck. It was about the best feeling he ever had in his life.

"Wow." He said softly as the Dancer Gundam began to play its music.


Fresh new kicks, advance
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

Yo, I told you (You can't touch this)
Why you standing there, man? (You can't touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (You can't touch this)

Give me a song, or rhythm
Make 'em sweat, that's what I'm giving 'em
Now, they know
You talking about the Hammer you talking about a show
That's hype, and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape, to learn
What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That's word because you know...

You can't touch this (Repeat 3x)

Break it down! (Music breaks down) Stop, Hammer time!

Go with the funk, it is said
That if you can't groove to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, fun your fingers through your hair
This is it, for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Move, slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump, bump, bump

Yeah... (You can't touch this)
Look, man (You can't touch this)
You better get hype, boy, because you know (You can't touch this)
Ring the bell, school's back in (You can't touch this)

Break it down! (Crazy bridge) Stop, Hammer time!

You can't touch this (Repeat 4x)

Break it down! (Nice pants, Hammer) Stop, Hammer time!

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
With others making records that just don't hit
I've toured around the world, from London to the Bay
It's "Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer"
And the rest can go and play

You can't touch this
You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

You can't touch this

Outside the cloud of mysterious smoke, the Dancer Gundam began to play an unusual song that had a lot of beats and techno sound effects in it. As the songs beat kept going, boom-boom-boom, the Dancer Gundam began to exhibit moves like that of an expert break-dancer. It twirled on the tips of its toes, it then came down onto its back and spun like a turtle on its back, and in this state of spinning it came back onto its feet and then kicked the head of Gundam Maxter.

Though something odd happened that Joy Hermes never expected. Originally she thought that she smoke she had given Chibodee would be enough to make him loose all control. Its how she had won most of her previous fights, she would just blow the smoke into the Gundam and the fighter would be so helpless that she would strike back. But as her leg came up to the Gundam Maxter she saw its fist retaliate back. It came up and punched right through the upcoming leg, the blue covered fist broke through the ankle sending the lower leg flying to the other side of the arena. The very shock of pain went right through to Joy, at least for a moment until she saw the blue Gundanium covering over the first of the Gundam Maxter coming right at her face. Her mind only registered the incoming fist for a moment then everything went black for Joy.

"Gundam Maxter is the winner!" The announcer blared over the broadcast.

Though inside the Gundam Maxter, Chibodee only asked one question, "I did?"

Then the ruler of all space, Prime Minister Kurato made an annoucement from his balcony that reached out across all of the city, the world, and space.

"Ladies and Gentlemen." He said, "I have a very special announcement. In the long history of the Gundam Fight nothing of these circumstances has ever taken place. Due to the short amount of competitors in the Gundam Final Battle, the Gundam Battle Royal has been rescheduled for the beginning of next week. The Battle Royal will be held at a special ring on that island there."

It was just like before in the 13th Gundam fight in which the Battle Royal was held on Lantao Island, except the island that Prime Minister Kurato pointed to was further away from the shores of Neo-Tokyo.

"Gundam Fighter, I'd advice you to prepare for the Battle Royal."

* * *

Later, on Han's Junk, Chibodee was being assessed of what exactly happened to him when the Dancer Gundam attacked him. The one who was assessing his health as well as the illness that came over him was Rain Mikamura Kasshu. She checked everything, Chibodee's eye contact, motor-senses and so on, all of it seemed slowed and impaired.

"I think I know what the gas was." Rain reported

"What was it then?" Domon asked

"It was Marijuana smoke."

"Marijuana?"

"It is an herb that when smoked causes these symptoms as well as one that Chibodee seems to be exhibiting now."

Chibodee uttered, "You know," he said in a dazed tone, "I could go for some brownies. I don't know why, but I just do."

"His appetite for sweets." Rain finished

"What do you suggest we do with him?" Bunny asked

"For now." Rain shrugged, "Just keep him here and keep him relaxed."

"No worries, babe." Chibodee slurred his speech, "I'm cool as can be….yeah, baby."

The Preventers looked down at Chibodee from the other side of the wood paneled room. The one who made the most agreeable comment was Duo Maxwell, who had seen this kind of behavior before in some people. Though in Chibodee it seemed to be a little more affected.

"He's definitely stoned." Duo said

The children looked at Chibodee and then up at the Preventers and asked, "What does stoned mean?"

Duo knelt down to the kids, smiled and said, "I think it's a little too early to tell you any of that now."

The Preventers all agreed with him.

"Some weapon." Domon said, "Stone your enemies during the heat of battle and it makes them impaired to your attacks."

* * *

At the beginning of the peer that lead up to Han's junk, a man was walking to the old ship. He didn't pass under the street lamp that hung over the place where the concrete of the docks meets the wood of the peers. It was as if he was avoiding the light like a vampire, his footsteps were heard one the peer, he being the only one. His eyes were only set upon one ship, the one stationed at the end of the peer, all the others seemed to melt away in his mind. The object of this person mission would be there in that place. The walk to the Junk felt as if it had taken years to get there, like walking across a continent, so near and yet so far. Until he was at the doorstep of the boat, his feet on the peer. He called out, his voice clear and deep.

"Fellowship of the Gundam!" He called, "Fellowship of the Gundam! Come out and face me!"

The door to the inner parts of the Junk opened letting out the warm yellow glow of the lamps out into the night. And from within the ship came several members of the Fellowship, there was Domon, Heero, Johan, Duo, and Haruka. All of them came out to see who or what was making the commotion. The thing that caught their attention was that whoever was barking at their door called them the Fellowship and only members within the group knew that name. Out they came and there they saw a man standing before them on the peer. The man was young, almost a boy. From what limited light there was, they could see that his hair was a blonde color. Yet, they couldn't exactly make out his whole face, yet they saw his chin from the limited light as well as parts of his face. Except they couldn't see his eyes at all.

"Who are you?" Domon demanded, "How do you know the name of our Fellowship?"

"That's not important." The boy said, "What's important is that I have come here."

"Why did you come here?" Johan asked

The boy's voice changed, it sounded deeper more sadistic, "To kill you all."

Then the voice changed back, "No, that's not what I'm here to do!"

They watched in the shadows as the boy grabbed his head and twisted himself around as if he was having a splitting headache. It was clear that the boy was in trouble, yet he was twisting himself so much that he came under one of the lamps that hung over the peer. The lamp wasn't like the street light, it was more like an overhead lamp that had been strung over the peer. That was when everyone knew who it was.

"Leo Travis." Heero uttered, his eyes widened as he looked at the boy who was struggling with himself. "What in the hell is he doing here?"

Just then the boy screamed out in agonizing pain under one of the lamps. It seemed as if a show was being put on for all the Fellowship. As the boy screamed the rest of the Fellowship poured out to see what all the commotion was about. That's when all of them had the same question about how Leo Travis had gotten himself here. The question of that faded when they saw the atrocity that came within the next few minutes.

Leo had his head upward and was screaming so loud that his mouth looked like he was at a dentists officer. Yet, from his mouth came hexagonal pieces of silver, they crawled out of his mouth like a festering army of cockroaches or flies. The pieces began to move around his skin and under his clothes as he continued to scream, but his scream was teetering between being human and being machine. It sounded like the dial-up sound of a computer when connecting to the Internet. It was a metallic sounding noise that eminated itself from a human voice box. The hexagonal pieces covered themselves over Leo's body, at least that much that was exposed. They began to come up to his face as if he was sinking in them. That's when the connection was made.

"DG cells." Rain uttered as she covered her mouth in horror

As the cells covered Leo's body, the Fellowship looked as the boy named Leo Travis looked up from eyes that were crying in pain and begging for help. His voice still metallic and machine-like called out to the Fellowship.

"Help me." His voice cried before all of the DG cells covered his body. The parts of his body that were exposed were then nothing more then lumps of silver until all of them turned black and began to rip through Leo's clothes. The mass of silver and black began to expand like cookies beginning to take shape in an oven, it expanded in height and ripped through the clothes as if he was growing out of them. The mass of black then stood up and looked out at the Fellowship from behind a black mask, his body was super muscular, and his belt lined with human skulls. It was the Knight Blazer

"I'm here to kill you." He said as he held out his hands and from them came two masses like thick coffee pouring out of the pot. The masses stopped and began to form metallic cylinder objects similar to the Preventers beam sabers. Then from the ends of those metallic cylinders came red beams just like the beam sabers. He held them like twin swords, similar to Trowa and Sai-Saici's models where the double ended saber could be split in two.

"Fellowship." Johan called as he reached for his saber, he activated it to reveal its green color.

The others followed in, with their sabers all different colors, red, green, blue, violet, and yellow. Each light of the beam sabers illuminated their faces as they stood on the edge of the Junk getting ready to face off with the Knight Blazer in hand-to-hand combat.

The Knight Blazer crouched down and jumped up high into the air. His black suit was camouflaging him against the black star specked sky. The only hints of where he was, was two things the moving black mass against the stars and the enormously bright beam sabers in his hands. Watching it the Preventers looked and saw that he was going to jump around on the roofs of the Junks for combat instead of going into the city, everyone within the Fellowship knew instantly that they had to fight him on his level.

The first few that went after him were Heero and Wufei. The three fighteres had jumped across the rooftops of the ships in Tokyo bay until the city lights were outlining them. Their bodies were just black shadows and their beam weapons in their hands showing their whereabouts. The light blue beam belonging to Heero Yuy, the twin green tridents always the same distance from each other for Wufei, and the twin crimson red sabers countering the other two weapons. The dance of weapons and shadows sashayed across the rooftops of the boats in Tokyo bay.

As the fight continued the rest of the fellowship followed suit, they jumped from one rof to another fighting the Knight Blazers beam weapons trying desperately to hit him. After Wufei and Heero, members of the Shuffle Alliance and Preventer joined one to one against the threat. Argo and Quatre fought together, next it was Duo and Chibodee, then Trowa and George. No one was able to even lay a scratch upon the dark fighter.

The fight continued ever on, the members of the Shuffle Alliance began to notice something. The Shuffle Crests that each of them carried began to shine. Most of them knew that it was because of the presence of one who had been infected by the Devil Gundam. Then the fight was with the Knight Blazer, Domon Kasshu and Heero Yuy. The fight had grown fiercer like dogs fighting over territory. Both Heero and Domon thought that this fight had gone on for too long. The only reason why no one else would join in is because if they started attacking in a three-on-one battle, the Fellowship would get in each other's way. So, this two-on-one fight was the most efficient way to fight him.

Domon then noticed that his crest was glowing against the tone of his skin: The King of Hearts. He ignored it because he knew what was causing it, but he didn't notice the other crest at first.

It came to him when he noticed something glowing upon the black mass that was the Knight Blazers hand. Then he saw it in full view when the two blades were locked into each other. It was a Shuffle Alliance crest upon the Knight Blazers fist. It showed the suit of the spade, much like Chibodee's. Behind the spade were two swords crossing each other much like Domon's crest. Within the spade was the face of a king, bearded and crowned. Then Domon saw the banner across the bottom of the spade. It read;

"King of Spades 2371"

Domon's jaw dropped when he saw the Shuffle Crest. HE nearly lost his balance and control when the Knight Blazer shoved him. As Domon felt himself tip backwards he looked down to see what was awaiting him, the cold water of Tokyo Bay. He threw his body forward to bring himself back to his feet. As he watched the fight continue, he saw Heero bring his beam saber back like a baseball player at the plate. In one swift and quick motion he swung the blade at the Knight Blazer, slicing his hand and part of his forearm clean off. There was no blood from the wound because the intense heat of the beam saber had already sealed the Knight Blazers wound as his hacked off limb fell to the ground. The Knight Blazer had screamed at the loss of his arm. He dropped his other beam saber and cradled his nub that used to be his arm, and ran off into the night screaming back at the Fellowship;

"I'll kill you all!"
