Episode 56
"Secret Admiration! Rescue Allenby!"




"Mon Dieu, how big a city is this?" The French knight asked as the four Gundams, That is, Dragon, Rose, God, and Rising, trudged through the city. Sai Sici, Domon, George, and Rain were spread out over the city, searching for god knows what.
"Does anyone even know what we're looking for?" Rain asked, turning the head of Rising Gundam toward Domon. George sighed, and ran a hand through his long red hair.
"Is my beloved Princess to be found no where in this acursed city?!" He demanded, slaming his fist into the side of an abandoned building.
"Chill out George!" The King of Hearts said. "Lissa will show herself soon enough.... she's a lot of things, but she's not a coward." he said. Sai Sici grinned broadly.
"Sounds like your old sweet heart, bro." He said. Domon blushed instantly.
"What do you mean?" Domon asked.
"Don't try to fool us, bro. We all know you had a thing for Allenby." The Ace of Clubs said. Rain crossed her arms over her chest.
"Is that a fact?" Rain asked, staring at Domon. He put his arms out pleadingly.
"You're gonna believe him over your own husband?! Sheesh!" He said, exhasperated. Before the others could laugh, they were shadowed by a large object flying overhead. A flash of red, a flash of blue. But that was all that was needed.
"Gundam Maxter?" George asked.

"NOOOO!!!!" Chibodee screamed, and leapt toward Roaring Gundam. He went as fast as he could, unknowingly flying over Domon and the others. The crushing force of the mobile trace system was excrutiatingly painful on his injured chest, but he didn't care. He only had one objective: Save Allenby.
"Roaring Finger!!!" Lissa screamed, and thrusted her hand out at Allenby.
"Ahh!" Allenby screamed. Chibodee jumped infront of Allenby. Lissa's hand connected with Chibodee's left arm, which ripped it completely off. Both Allenby and Lissa jumped back in surprise.
"Where did you come from?!" Lissa demanded. Allenby gasped.
"Y...you're not Domon!" Allenby said. Chibodee groaned.
"S....Smart girl..." He said, clutching the area where his left arm was.
"Chibodee? What are you doing here?" Allenby asked. She knealt down, trying to comfort Chibodee.
"Little miss world domination drugged me... what are you doing here?" He countered.
"A few weeks ago, we got a report that Bolt Gundam had been destroyed. I thought something bad might be coming up, and I wanted to meet up with Domon. Because...." She trailed off.
"Because? Because why?" Chibodee asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Because I-" Allenby was cut off when Lissa jumped toward them.
"You'll both pay!" She crowed.
"Allenby! Get out of here, I'll take care of this scum." Chibodee declared.
"Are you insane? You've only got one arm!" Allenby pointed out.
"I can take her! Get out!" He demanded.
"Why should I?" Allenby retorted.
"..."
"Well?"
"..."
"WELL?!"
"Because I don't want anything to happen to you..." Chibodee said.
"What are you saying?" Allenby asked, staring at him. Chibodee gritted his teeth, cursing himself for what he was about to do. He stood up, and drew back his right arm.
"Gonetsu....Machinegun....PUNCH!" He yelled, and thrusted his fist forward. Straight at Allenby.
"Ya!!!" She cried in surprise, and jumped out of the way. The ten seperate blasts rocketed straight toward Lissa. She raised her arms and smirked. She caught two of the blasts, and threw them back at Chibodee.
"You think these puny attacks will stop me?! FOOL!" She screamed.
"Hold it right there, Lissa!" A voice cried out. Lissa smirked, and turned her attention away from Chibodee.
"We meet at last, Domon Kasshu." She said darkly.
"What have you done to Chibodee?" He asked, then nodded at Rain. She rushed forward, and knealt down beside Chibodee.
"You're going to be fine, Chibodee." Rain said reassuringly.
"H...How's Allenby?" Chibodee asked. Rain looked. Allenby was standing behind Domon, ready to fight.
"He was really starting to bore me." Lissa said, pointedly ignoring Chibodee and Rain. George stepped forward, and helped Rain pick up Gundam Maxter. They lifted him back behind Domon, and laid him down.
"Perhaps you should stay with him, Madem Rain." George said. Rain nodded.
"Are you responsible for the destruction in Neo-Russia?" Domon asked. Lissa shrugged.
"Did I get rid of a weakling? Yes. But talk is cheap." She said, and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she released the hyper mode of the Roaring Gundam.
"You sick monster!" Domon yelled.
"I see your emotions are controlling you, Domon Kasshu." She folded her arms over her chest. "My father was ambitious, I'll give you that. But he saw what humanity truly is." She pointed at him. "A plague upon this universe. A virus that must be contained. And now, through this Gundam, my fathers dream will become a reality!" She said sternly. Domon raised an eyebrow.
"Who was your father?" He asked. She chuckled.
"I don't believe we've ever formally met, have we? So allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lissa. Lissa Ishikawa."

Dr. Kasshu adjusted his glasses slightly as he was finally called before the United Colony Federation in Neo-Japan. Two representatives from every colony were present. Dr. Kasshu was impressed with his work to perfect the Gundam Fight International Regulations, to prevent any future coup de tas, in the case of the 13th tournament.
"Ladies and Gentlemen." He began, clearing his throat. "It was obvious that the Gundam Fight system needed to be revised after the last Gundam Fight. I think you'll find that this new system is much more effective than the old tournament." The lights in the room went out, and a large hologram appeared in the center of the room. Two columns appeared. One was titled WGL and the other, IGL. "As you can see, the computer has randomly selected every participant in the Gundam Fight, and placed them into wither the WGL, or World Gundam League, or the IGL, or International Gundam League." He said. The hologram flickered, and the picture changed. Two sets of brackets came up. "Every fighter will fight Thirty Gundam Fight Matches against different opponents. The top eight Gundams from each league will go a special tournament. In the tournament, there will be four Intra-league preliminary matches, which will stem into intra-league quarter final matches. The winners from the quarter finals will face off in the final Intra-league semi-final match. This will leave one WGL Gundam and one IGL Gundam to face off in the finals. Please note, that this tournament does not decide the Gundam of Gundams. The winner of this tournament will share joint control of the Colony Federation along with the winner of the Battle Royal." He said, as the picture changed again. A large Hexagon appeared, with rising platforms at each corner, and one in the middle.
"The top seven Gundams, three from the IGL, and three from the WGL, along with the champion of last years battle royal, will face off in this final battle royal. The tournament and Battle Royal are seperate events. Losing in the tournament does not affect a Gundam's chances for participation in the battle royal." He said, as the delegates began to whisper amongst themselves. "The ring is simple. It's made with the hardest metal known to man, Cacheen. It's completely flat, and encircled with beam ropes. The last standing Gundam will share joint control with the tournament winner. Should the same Gundam win the tournament and Battle Royal, then the runner up in the tournament shall shall assume joint control." He said. The hologram dissapeared, and the lights came on. Dr. Kasshu was sweating. He wanted feedback. Good or bad. He couldn't stand silence. One of the delegates from Neo-America stood up.
"On behalf of Neo-America, I supposrt the idea. However, a two-rule system won't work. What we need, is a three rule system." She said.
"And how do you propose we do that?" One of the French delegates asked.
"Simple. Take the remaining two or three members from the semi-finals, three if the loser in the finals doesn't assume any joint control, and pit them in a finall Gundam Fight Match, or Triangle Match. The last Gundam standing will be the third power in the triumvirate." she said.
"Splendid! Consider the proposition to include the trimvirate clause!" Prime Minister Karato said.
"Allow us to vote." the Neo-Hong Kong orrator said. Having sole rule of the universe, the two Neo-Japan delegates could not vote. Dr. Kasshu and Prime Minister Karato stood up and left the deliberation chamber.


Stalker - Everyone, it's the moment you've been waiting for. The battle between the remaining members of the Shuffle Alliance and Lissa Ishikawa is about to begin! And what's this? Who has arrived on the scene in Bolt Gundam? Could it be Argo? Next time, on Mobile Fighter G Gundam,
