I don't own anything. I wish I did.

Gundam Dranzer: Chapter Five

Kai turned slowly and stared his grandfather in the eye. "We have nothing to discuss."

"Oh, but I think we do," Voltaire said. "You've abandoned your family to fight with the enemy. I'm here to bring you back."

"And if I refuse?" Kai challenged.

"Let's just say the Bladebreakers will have a bad day."

Kai looked up at the stands, where ESUN soldiers were holding weapons against the heads of the Bladebreakers. "Let them go."

"Join us!"

Before anyone could register the movement, Quatre, Heero, and Duo had pulled out weapons and fired. Three soldiers went down without a word. Kai had pulled a weapon out and was aiming it at Voltaire.

"Pull them out," Kai said. "Or you do not live to see tomorrow."

"You wouldn't shoot your own grandfather, boy!"

Kai fired. The bullet tore a hole in Voltaire's shirt an inch from breaking the skin. Voltaire paled.

"Pull them out." Kai adjusted his aim. If he fired now, he would kill his grandfather.

Voltaire did some quick calculations. "Retreat!" he roared. The four remaining ESUN soldiers picked up their fallen comrades and left. Kai lowered his weapon.

"Know this, grandfather. You will be defeated," Kai stated calmly. "The earth sphere and the colonies will be safe."

"And if I go down, so you shall too," Voltaire growled, walking way.

Kai looked up at the Bladebreakers again. They were all pale and in shock. Trowa had shown up from somewhere and was leading them out of the stadium to recover.  The Blading Gundams followed.

Tyson was the first to recover. He punched Kai full in the face. "We could have been killed!" he roared angrily.

Kai rubbed his nose, which, fortunately, wasn't broken. "I am sorry Tyson. However, if I had returned to the Bladebreakers they would have killed all of you just to get at me. I didn't want that."

Quatre had disappeared somewhere. He came back with cups of coffee for the Bladebreakers.

"Coffee?" Ray asked, sniffing the cup.

"It was either that or some weird Brazilian drink," Quatre explained.

"Oh." Ray took a cautious sip.

"I hope you made Tyson's decaf," Dizzi said.

"Oops," Quatre said.

Tyson drained his cup and jumped. "Woo hoo! Caffeine! Sugar high, here I come!" Kai knocked Tyson out with one punch.

"Thank you," Heero said.

"De nada."
