Domon opened his eyes wearily. He must not have slept as long as he wanted
to. He glanced around to see that he was on the floor of Burning's cockpit
and not in the hotel room. He stood up. Everything seemed to be happening
in slow motion.
"What am I doing in here? I must have fallen asleep during a fight." He told himself but deep down he was saying, 'No, we just got to earth and haven't found Burning yet.' He looked at his surroundings. Mostly abandoned buildings and rubble. There was only one building standing in the midst of it all. Wait he had been here before. This was Shinjuku. But how did he get here? Something came up on the radar. He got a closer look.
"Shadow Gundam? But how is that possible?" He asked himself moving towards the other Gundam. It took forever to get over to it but he finally made it.
"Shwartz? Are you in there?" He inquired stepping out of his cockpit. Shadow Gundam opened as well and Shwartz stepped out. He crossed his arms infront of him.
"Good to see you again Neo-Japan's fighter." He said back. "Don't talk to me like that. What's going on? How'd I get here?" Domon asked in a demanding tone. Shwartz shook his head back.
"Oh Domon you still don't get it yet. What happened here." He answered. Domon was becoming impatient. "Whatdya mean, what happened here?" He remarked regarding their surroundings. Everything had changed; they were now in the Guyana highlands. (A.N.-I don't know how to spell it.) "What? This doesn't make any sense." Domon said, confused. Shwartz let out a laugh. "Domon, you have to remember what you went through. It's the only way you'll fully understand what you're about to face." He mentioned. "Shwartz, what are you talking about?" Domon was more confused with everything Shwartz said. He pointed at Domon's crest.
"That." Was all he said. Domon looked down at the crest then back up to see that Shadow Gundam was gone. His hand started to itch. He looked down and fear started to kick in. Where the crest was, something was spreading. The silver scales moved up both his arms, even through the mobile trace suit.
"What? No, this can't be happening." He said not sure what to do. He had to find Rain. She was the only one who knew how to fix this. It was spreading faster and faster. He jerked awake, breathing hard. The sun was now up and rays of light filtered in through the blinds. He looked around, getting his barrings together. The clock showed how late it was. His first inclination was to make sure Rain was still there. She was still sleeping next to him turned away. He got up and looked out the window. He was still calming down from the dream. It was so real. The city, down below was busy now. People were all heading off to work and the traffic moved slowly through the streets. He heard Rain behind him.
"Domon? She called over to him. "Yeah, I'm here." He answered quietly never turning from the window. "So now what do we do?" She asked him, standing up and stretching. She certainly didn't waste time. Domon thought about it for a minute. He really didn't know what their next move was going to be.
"I really don't know what to do next. This is such a strange situation. I don't like waiting for them to make the first move." He admitted. Rain nodded back silently. "Are you hungry?" He asked her. "Yeah, a little. Guess we can't stay in here all day anyway." She answered.
*~* They headed down to the main street to find somewhere to eat. Domon scanned the crowd. His eyes moved sharply from one person to the next. He could feel the knot forming in his stomach. Rain was speaking but he really wasn't paying attention to her. He was too busy worrying whether or not they were being followed.
"Uh..Domon? Hey are you listening to me?" Rain asked him. "No I'm not actually. Sorry but I'm really not up for conversation right now." He answered still eyeing the crowd.
"Okay, if that's what you want." She replied softly. They kept walking and eventually the crowd dispersed. There weren't nearly as many people around now.
"Did we end up in a bad part of town?" Domon asked Rain. She looked around. "What are you talking about?" She inquired. Someone past him and spoke softly as he did so. "So you're Domon Kashuu." Domon turned to the stranger, gritting his teeth. "Who wants to know." He demanded. The man stopped and faced him. "You'll fine out if you come peacefully." He answered back calmly. A car pulled up next to them. "Well? What do you say?" He asked in a monotone.
