Chapter 13

Weeks passed as they all trained. All but Shiro trained with their Gundams. Heero fought with him always to end up severely hurting him. Shiro always got up the next day to fight, even though he was always hurt. Heero hit him down and then with a rage Shiro got up and jumped in the air slicing through the hand of the Gundam. Heero was shocked. Shiro tayed lashing at the Gundam and damaging it, he struck the sword through the cot pit, only inches away from hurting Heero and he fell to the floor panting heavily. The next day he fought Heero again. He tried controlling that power but when he jumped into the air and Heero hit him to the floor and the sword did nothing to the Gundam. Shiro was in critical condition for a few weeks.

"THIS MATCH IS MINE!" yelled Gareas as he drew both his swords and yelled, "SUPREME DOUBLE SLASH!" he cut through Hiead's Goddesss. Hiead was amazed as his Goddess fell into two pieces as he got out. Gareas had surpassed Hiead in the weeks that had passed. Milliardo fought Ky the next day. "ULTIMATE CANNON BLAST!" yelled Milliardo and Ky put up a powerful shield that went out after the attack. "Not bad," said Ky and continued, "but can you handle this? COMPLETE BOMBARD DESTRUCTION!" and several bombs came out of him and surrounded Milliardo. They exploded and Milliardo's Gundam was sent flying but not severely damaged. Milliardo laughed and launched himself at Ky and tackled him down. Milliardo yelled, "ULTIMATE CANNON BLAST!" and fired his attack at the head of Ky's MS. Ky put up a barrier but the attack ripped through it, but it decreased the attacks power and it only scrapped of a bit of the head. Ky panted and then quickly got up. He jumped in the air and aimed his Complete Bombard Destruction at the Epyon and yelled, "GET READY FOR ROUND TWO!" The Epyon flew back and then Ky yelled, "ULTIMATE DESTRUCTIVE SLASH!" he slashed dozens of times at the Epyon and sending it back. With the last slash he was going to slash off Epyon's head. Then Epyon's whip protected it and through off the last slash. "Not going to be that easy," said Milliardo as he got up. He threw his laser whip around Ky's MS tying his arms to his side, he tightened the grip as Ky scram in pain. You could see the MS begin to start falling apart. "I"LL NEVER LOOSE TO YOU!" yelled Ky as he went Super Mode and his energy skyrocketed. The laser whip was destroyed, Ky looked right at Milliardo and yelled, "ULTIMATE DESTRUCTIVE SLASH!" and he moved with incredible speed and greatly damaged the Epyon, immobilizing it, the last slash was unseen and Epyon's head fell off. They all stared at him in amazement. Shiro looked at him with the greatest amazement, he knew Milliardo could clearly destroyed Ky, but it was the opposite, Ky greatly over powered him. This is what Shiro was looking for, but not what he needed as well. He wanted that great increase in power as well, but did not want it in rage, but whenever he wanted. He turned away to walk outside and saw a Gundam, none of theirs move so rapidly in the mountains and then the Gundam vanished. "Two of five," said Shiro.

Heero and Zero were the ones to fight a battle next. "ULTIMATE MACHINE GUN BLAST!" yelled Heero as Zero went flying. Zero smirked and his Goddess disappeared and reappeared behind Heero and knocked him forward. "FIRE OBLITERATION!" yelled Zero as Heero was thrown into a mountain. Zero jumped in the air and slashed at Heero. Heero vanished and appeared behind him and kicked him forward. "Two can do that," said Heero. Zero laughed and turned around and said, "FIRE OBLITERATION!" He slammed Heero right in the stomach. Heero fell in pain in cockpit. He got up and yelled, " DOUBLE PUNCH ASSUALT! " Zero was flying miles through the air by one attack. They all looked at him surprised. "He's not one of the top two for nothing," said Shiro. Zero got up and laughed. "It'll take more than that to stop me!" He flew right at him and put his hands in front of himself and yelled, "FIERY SLASH!" as a fiery wind emerged from his Goddess' palms and scratched up Eeva Leena. Heero fell in pain, unable to move. "And Shiro, your the only one of us that can beat Zero," said Milliardo with a laugh.

Milliardo slashed with his whip several times as Shiro jumped out of the way. Shiro's speed was amazing. Milliardo nearly slashed him to pieces but Shiro put the sword in front of him to block. "It's not going to end like this. It can't end like this!" said Shiro. His sword started glowing blue and held back the whip. Milliardo was shocked; he could never think anyone could hold his Gundam back. Shiro was moving his Gundam back, it was spectacular; Shiro jumped in the air and sliced the head in two. Milliardo stood in the cockpit amazed he couldn't hold back a sword.

Only four months remained till they returned to battle. Over the time there were several matches, and skills greatly improved. Shiro now started using his Gundam. What he didn't know was that an enemy lurked near, ready to fight him. That night, "SHIRO AMADA! COME OUT! SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT ME!" yelled a mysterious Gundam Fighter.

Shiro quickly ran to his Gundam, he knew this was the Gundam, he had seen the other day, and he wouldn't stand a chance with only the sword. He was going to see if his training had worked. "I'm here!" yelled Shiro, "Who are you?" "I am Chibidee Crockit, a member of the Shuffle Alliance," said the pilot. "Well I'm not going to talk here, I'm, going to fight," said Shiro as he rushed toward the pilot. Shiro uppercut the fighter but he blocked and returned the blow with even more force knocking Shiro back. He held his stomach as he was struck again, Chibidee struck him again and sent him to the floor. Shiro held in the pain as he rose, he looked at the fighter and ran at him and disappeared and reappeared behind him, when he appeared he saw the Gundam looking at him and the Gundam struck him in the stomach again. "How can he be so fast? I can't compete with that. He knows all my moves before I'll even make them. He knows my fighting style, besides that he's extremely strong, those punches were small blows; they pack a wallop of force. There has to be a way to win. Maybe that he knows what I am going to do maybe an advantage," said Shiro to himself.

He got up and disappeared and appeared in the same spot, Chibidee had turned around and Shiro yelled, "BURNING FIST OF DESTRUCTION!" Before Chibidee was able to realize what happened his left arm was blasted off, he yelled in pain in the cockpit. Chibidee laughed and then through a punch and so did Shiro their fist clashed in an awesome test of strength. "I'm not going to win if I don't do anything right now," thought Shiro, "SUPER MODE! MAX POWER!" Shiro's fist was moving Chibidee's fist back he had the upper hand now. Chibidee backed up and then yelled, "BURNING PUNCH!" He knocked Shiro down as a tornado of fire formed around his fist and grew. Shiro got up and dashed at him and yelled, "BURNING FIST OF DESTRUCTION!" as he closed in on Chibidee the power grew then Chibidee dashed at him with his tornado of fire surrounding his fist. There was a blinding explosion nothing was visible.

Shiro and Chibidee panted heavily, they both struggled to get up as they held in pain both their arms had been destroyed. Shiro was the only one that an arm left. Chibidee was amazed, this guy could actually beat him, "If he has enough energy, he can beat me, I can't let that happen, I can't use my best attacks because I don't have my arms," thought Chibidee. Chibidee dashed at Shiro and hit him with his shoulder. Shiro tried to block with his arm but couldn't, he was knocked back. He got up and jumped in the air and drew his laser saber. Chibidee looked at him in fear, could this really be it? No, it couldn't not for him. Shiro slashed several times, the Gundam hit the floor in several different parts, its head, its body, and legs.

Shiro collapsed on the floor of the cockpit. Could he have really beat one of the Shuffle Alliance? Could he have really beat one of Domon's partners? Was he stronger than this pilot? He did feel a bit stronger, could his training have actually help? Could he beat Domon Kasshu? All this would be answered in a few months. "I know each but Domon will come to fight, and I plan to beat all of them. I plan to train the ones that are going to fight with me," said Shiro to himself. "You had to go to a higher stage to defeat me and I still had some power hidden. You need a serene state of mind to bring out your true power. I've seen you fight, when ever you go to a higher stage, its because of anger, and when that sword glows too," said Chibidee. Shiro flew to where Heero and Milliardo were fighting. "Fight me, both of you at once," said Shiro. "Are you crazy?" asked Milliardo, "You are badly injured, and you can't fight like this." "Just fight me," yelled Shiro. "Okay, ready?" asked Milliardo. Shiro jumped out of his Gundam and drew the sword from its sheath.

Shiro ran at the Gundams, "READY!" Heero and Milliardo started to punch quickly. They moved with great agility. Shiro swiftly dodged them all. Then Shiro saw a large fist heading toward him. Then Shiro was thrown to the floor hard. Shiro struggled to his feet as he used the sword as a balance. Another fist came at him and struck him down. He panted heavily. He stood slowly. He was knocked out.

He was told a Gundam Fighter by the name of George De Sand came and fought of Shiro's fighting team and beat all but Heero, he tied with him, and neither had gone Super Mode. Shiro still needed to find a way to go Super Mode at will, not at anger or rage. Chibidee had said something about a serene state of mind.

Shiro went to look for this Gundam Fighter that was named George De Sand. He found a suspicious looking Gundam. The other Gundam, stood up, and the pilot said, "I am George De Sand. I have been waiting for you." "Well here I am, said Shiro. George had already disappeared. "Wow, he's fast, faster than I thought anyway," said Shiro. He turned to face a Laser Sword heading right for him.

All Shiro could was dodge the assaults. He kept on moving before the strikes hit him. He was amazed at how he couldn't strike his foe without getting hit, so didn't dare. "Can't attack me? What? Am I too fast for you? Go attack me," laughed George. Shiro knew he shouldn't attack, but this was his only chance. He set his Beam Laser at maximum power and did a quick slash, but before he had even slashed George had already slashed off his hand. It was so fast that it took a while for it to fall. Shiro was too in shock to feel the pain from his right hand. How could had Heero tied with him?

George just slashed and slashed but Shiro could dodge, but barely. He then remembered what Chibidee had said, "Have a serene state of mind when fighting." Shiro then closed his eyes and concentrated to stay calm. He opened his eyes as he drew his other Laser Beam started striking as swiftly as George did started slashing faster than George. George started to see his ability had greatly risen. "I can't beat him without going to Hyper Mode," thought George, "his ability is greater than mine if I don't go Hyper Mode, he'll surely defeat me." George's Gundam started growing gold and then he started keeping up with Shiro and eventually beating him again.

"I'm stronger right now than I ever was in my Super Mode form, but he's beating me now. Can I win?" thought Shiro to himself. He tried dashing away from George to think of something to do. George followed him keeping up with him; if he were any faster he would be leading. Shiro the slashed at the Rose Gundam and it dodged, in the time he slashed once, George had slashed five times, and his Laser Beam was destroyed.

"Technically I'm not in Super Mode yet, but I'm strong right now. Can I be stronger?" he thought, "Well there's only one way to find out," Shiro said. His Gundam started turning gold and he jumped into the air and he looked down at George. He dashed at George and they started slashing and slashing at the same rate. Shiro started getting the upper hand but then George, he was skilled with a sword. Shiro knew that was it, he had to get away from him. George then got Shiro and then started slamming the Gundam with his sword. Shiro yelled in pain as the strikes hit him. Shiro fell to the floor in pain. George laughed at him. "I'm not done yet," yelled Shiro as his Laser Beam thrust through the air and slashed off both of George's hands. Shiro then stood up and rapidly started slashing George's Gundam to pieces. Shiro fell to the floor as the Rose Gundam fell and exploded. Two Enemy MS picked up George.
