Stalker - Well now everyone. Lissa Ishikawa has
been defeated, but our story is far from over. The day after we last
saw the others, they all parted ways, resuming their own Gundam Fights
for their respective nations. Now it's come down to this. A
week before the final tournament is sceduled to commence, and we have two
matches left. Chibodee Crocket will be facing Neo-Arabia's Suud Gundam.
And Domon Kasshu will be squaring off against Neo-Australia's Outback Gundam.
Now let's get things started! Gundam Fight all set? Ready....GO!
Episode 58
"Tournament approaches! Rise Shining Gundam!"
Chibodee stood at the top
of Gundam Maxter's shoulder, with his arms crossed over his chest.
He started tapping his fingers against his bicep. Allenby, who was
standing right next to him, put a hand on his shoulder.
"He'll be here." She said
reassuringly. Chibodee looked at her with one eye, and smiled slightly.
It had been ten months since the encounter with Lissa. Even now,
at the final stage of the Gundam Fight, he'd only lost one of the twenty
nine matches he's had. And the one loss.... was to Domon Kasshu.
Chibodee shook his head. His match with Domon had been the day after
Lissa was destroyed. He was still injured. But the order came
none the less, and Domon had beaten him easily. Now though, he was
awaiting his final opponent. Neo-Arabia's Suud Gundam.
"He'd better. I've
been waiting here for an hour." Chibodee said. No sooner were
the words out of his mouth, the sand under their feet began to rumble.
Suud Gundam appeared, rising up from the sand. "It's about time."
Chibodee said, smirking.
"Enough formalities..."
The fighter, surprisingly female, said. "Gundam Fight....stand by."
"Ready?" Chibodee
asked. Allenby gave him a kiss on the cheek, and somersaulted onto
the ground to watch the fight.
"GO!" The two Gundams
rushed at each other, fists drawn back. Suud Gundam dissapeared from
sight at the last second. Chibodee jerked back in surprise.
"Where did she go?!" He
demanded. A few seconds later, something slammed into the back of
his head. "Argh! Where is she?!" Chibodee demanded, falling
headfirst into the sand. He pushed himself to his feet, only to be
kicked in the chest. He flew backward, landing in the sand.
"What's the matter?
Can't see me? Fighter from Neo-America?" She crowed, and began
pummeling him from different directions.
"Aaah! Fight me....fairly!"
Chibodee screamed.
"Look hard, Chibodee." Allenby
instructed.
"What do you think I'm doing,
Allenby!!!" Chibodee yelled, struggling to get up.
"No, I mean look REALLY
hard!" Allenby coached. Chibodee lifted his head up and squinted.
Sure enough, he saw it. Nothing major, just a small ripple in the
air. But it was enough. Chibodee smirked. He leapt to
his feet, and drew back his fist.
"Burning Punch!" He yelled,
and thrusted his fist forward. He punched right through Suud Gundam's
cockpit. It flickered back into view, not moving. "Yeah, I
can see you." Chibodee said, smirking. "Huh?" The girl's eyes
began to glow crimson red. She began laughing madly as the Gundam
sank into the sand.
"This is only the beginning,
Chibodee Crocket!!! Yahahahaha!!!" She cried hysterically as Suud
Gundam dissapeared from sight.
"Chibodee?" Allenby asked,
as she put her hands on Chibodee's shoulders. "What was that?"
"I wish I could tell you..."
He shhok his head, clearing his mind. "No. Come on, Allenby.
We've gotta get to Tokyo. The tournament is starting soon." He said,
and took off in his Gundam. Allenby hesistated, and looked back at
the sand. She sighed, then took off after Chibodee.

"Hurry up, mate! Haul
out ya Gundam!" The Australian Fighter goaded. Domon smirked.
This man was a bigger fool than he thought. He raised his hand, and
snapped his fingers.
"Rise God Gundam!" He yelled.
Nothing. "Gundam?" He said, and shot a glance at Rain.
She typed away at a keypad for a few moments, before a loud explosion was
heard. Domon watched in horror as pieces of his Gundam rained downward
from the sky. "What....happened...?" Domon asked in semi-shock.
"A malfunction in the voice
recognition sequence.... If I didn't know better, I'd say it was sabotaged."
Rain said, continuing to type away at a keypad.
"What do we do now?" Domon
asked, looking over at Rain.
"Rain Mikamura." She said,
and opened up a direct link between her and the Neo-Japan colony.
Commissioner Karato's face graced the screen.
"Rain? What is it?
What's the matter?" He asked.
"There's been a malfunction
in God Gundam. It's unusable." Rain said.
"WHAT?!" Karato demanded,
his face turning red.
"Don't worry," Another voice
said, and another figure stepped into view. It was Dr. Kasshu.
"Dad? What do you
mean, 'Don't worry'? I don't have a Gundam!" Domon exclaimed.
"I didn't want to do this....
but it seems that this is our only option. Your new Gundam shall
be arriving shortly." Dr. Kasshu said, and cut the transmission.
Rain smirked. Domon looked at her, still clueless. True to
his word, a Rose-like capsule settled in the Australian outback about two
hours later. Domon was still puzzled.
"Rain, what's going on?"
He asked.
"Think about it, Domon.
If God Gundam was gone, what Gundam would you use?" Rain asked. Domon
was still confused. Rain rolled her eyes, and activated the
carrier walls. They began to retract, which revealed the Gundam inside.
"Sh...Shining Gundam?
How?!" Domon demanded. Rain smiled.
"Our intelligence and recon
team recovered the Shining Gundam in the Guiana Highlands after you made
the switch to God Gundam. They fixed it." Rain said.
Domon smiled, and snapped his fingers.
"Rise Shining Gundam!" he
called. The Gundam stood up, and propelled itself in Domon's direction.
"Core lander!" Domon cried. The small blusih transport device
shot out, and scooped Domon up. It situated itself into the back
of Shinign Gundam, and propelled Domon into the cockpit. "I've missed
you, Shining Gundam." He said as the Mobile Trace suit covered his
body.
"That's more like it, Domon
Kasshu!" The fighter from Neo-Australia cheered, and leapt into his
own Gundam.
"Gundam fight, stand by."
Domon said.
"Ready???" The australian
fighter asked eagerly.
"GO!" Domon cried,
and ran striaght at Outback Gundam. The Australian drew back, and
punched Domon square in the chest. "AUGH!" Domon cried as he flew
back.
"Haha! Once I beat
the great Domon Kasshu, everyone will know the name Ruocco Carrygon!" The
australian boasted. As Domon pulled himself to his feet, the words
of Schwarz Bruder ran through his head.
"Keep a serene state of
mind, Domon. Then you'll release the true Super Mode." It had
been a long time since he had done this, but tried anyway. He closed
his eyes, and focused. The moment he saw the drop of water, he knew
he had done it. His shoulder guards lifted. His wrist and ankle
guards retracted. Golden appendages on his head stuck out.
"What's that?!" Ruocco
demanded.
"This hand of mine glows
with an awesome power!" Domon opened his eyes. "Its burning
grip tells me to defeat you!" Domon said, his right hand started to glow
bright white. "Here I go! SHINING FINGER!!!" he yelled,
and dashed forward, grabbing the head of Outback Gundam.
"Don't do it, mate!"
Ruocco begged.
"Now, heat end!" Domon
yelled, and crushed the head of Outback Gundam. The Super Mode faded.
He turned back to Rain. "Come, Rain. We have to get to Tokyo."
Stalker - Everyone, it's the moment you've been waiting for. The matches are set, and the tournament is set to begin! Who will emerge as the Gundam of Gundams? Next time, on Mobile Fighter G Gundam!
"Preliminary Matches Begin! Move on, Shuffle Alliance!"
