Only a few minutes passed after the battle between Kina and Kyoji, and already Rain, Domon, and Kina were quickly put in handcuffs and led to the local police station for questioning about Serena's death. The police were kind enough to let Kina changed back into her regular clothes before arresting her.
At the station, Cecil stood there, Sai Saishi beside her, with a depressed look on her face. Sai told them what had happened, "They [the police] had forced her in there, literally jumped down her throat, wanting to know what happened to Miss Serena."
"It was horrible." Cecil cried, "I couldn't get a word in edgewise, and they thought I was lying when I actually could talk."
Since the four years from the last Gundam tournament, Sai and Cecil had grown considerably. Sai now stood at a decent 5 foot 6 inches, while Cecil, still shorter than Sai, grew to about a 5 foot 3 inches. Sai's childish figure was quickly fading from him. His cheekbones became more defined, therefore made his eyes smaller. Cecil had evened out, and was looking more like a woman every day. She still left her blue hair in pigtails on
"Come on, move it along." The guard forced Domon and Kina along.
Kina growled, "Watch it."
"Or what, pretty? You can't do anything to me while in these handcuffs." The guard teased her.
Kina went to attack, but Domon called out to her. She turned to him, rage reflecting in her eyes, "What?!" She yelled at him.
"Don't." Domon told her, "That's exactly what they want you to do, so they can pin Serena's murder and the guard's injury on you," Kina began to object, but Domon continued, "and if they put you away and strip you of your Gundam, I know Kyoji won't be able to stand it."
"Kyoji…" Kina muttered as she relaxed her tensed muscles. She allowed the guard to push her into the interrogation room along with Domon.
The guards thrusted the two of them into seats and shut the door behind them. Domon looked at Kina, "They're actually leaving us here?" He asked, a hint of laughter in his voice.
"I know. Maybe they're waiting for the detectives." Kina replied with the same tone. Domon chuckled to himself.
But, sure enough, the two doors busted open to reveal two detectives, one of them was tall, dark skin, and was muscle bound. The other one was shorter, not so muscle bound, but you could tell he had some strength. Both were tuxedos with badges pinned on the pockets.
Domon rolled his eyes, "Are we supposed to be afraid of you? And where's Rain?!"
"Same place you'll be if you don't shut your mouth Neo-Japan." The shorter one replied.
Kina growled, "If you intend to pester me like you have poor Cecil Holgar, I'll…"
"You'll what, Neo-Antarctica?" The taller one teased her.
Kina bit her tongue, and thought of a comeback, "No, I won't say it."
"Why not?" The shorter one turned his focus from Domon to her.
Domon looked over at Kina, wanting to know what she would come back with. He knew that Kina had a reputation for comebacks, and was anxious to hear what she as going to say.
Kina smirked, "Because it would be the exact thing that you bastards would want me to do. Plus, I don't wanna stoop to your particular level."
'Good one.' Domon thought with a smile as he watched the detectives' mouths hit the floor.
The shorter guard leaned right into Kina's face, "You think you're better than us, precious?"
"Me?" Kina bust out into a fit of laughter, "Precious?! I'm sorry, you've got the wrong girl if you think I, of all people, am precious."
"We've got ourselves a smart one here." The taller man told the shorter one.
"Now, let's get down to business. Where were you when Serena Kasshu was murdered?" The shorter one asked.
"I was with him." Kina motioned to Domon, "We were practicing for the opening ceremonies."
"And what were you practicing?"
"Did you not see the opening ceremonies?" Domon asked.
"We're not into that sorta thing."
"Well, if you didn't see that, then its gonna be hard to explain." Domon sighed.
"If you were good detectives, then, at least I would think, you would wanna see your suspects in action, eh?" Kina cocked an eyebrow, looking at the two detectives with the expectance of them answering her question.
"Shut your mouth!" The shorter one shouted.
"I can, but I thought you wanted information outta me. If I shut my mouth, how can I tell you everything I know?" Kina came back.
'Damn she's good.' Domon thought.
"You obnoxious brat!"
"So? Problem?" Kina replied.
"Maybe you don't deserve to know our information." Domon chimed in.
"Fine. There are other means of communications." The taller one chuckled.
"Demi, call Neo-Antarctica's and Neo-Japan's Government and tell them that their fighters have been disqualified from the tournament." The shorter one called out the door.
"Dammit! Don't you dare!" Kina yelled out, trying to jump out of her seat.
"You bastards." Domon cursed.
"That's right. And until they confess what they know, they can't return." The shorter one continued.
"Fine. I give." Kina's shoulders slumped.
Domon's eyes widened at Kina's surrender, "Dammit, see what you've done? You've turned her so you can pester her to your liking!"
It was Kina's eye's turn to widen, "Domon…."
"Ah, I see. But isn't Neo-Antarctica supposed to be with Neo-Germany?" The taller one asked.
"You leave Kyoji out of this!" Kina and Domon shouted at the same time.
"Fine. Now tell us, before…"
Just then, Sai Saishi burst through the doors, "Bro! You can't do that!"
"Believe me, I didn't." Domon said as he glared at the two detectives.
"Listen, while I was practicing with Domon here, at the Neo-Japanese Gundam hanger, Serena came in. I realized that she looked a little different." Kina started.
"Different, how?"
"She was kind of translucent." Kina told him.
"Continue."
"Then, when I told her hi, she put her finger to my lips and I immediately passed out." Kina finished.
Domon picked up from there, "Then she went to the cockpit of God Gundam, and when Rain Mikamura acknowledged that Serena was there, Serena knocked her out by probably doing the same to Rain as she did to Kina."
"Then what?"
"Serena brought out Rain and set her outside the Gundam." Domon continued his confession, even down to the conversation and telling them the color of her eyes.
"But, while I was out, I dreamed." Kina chimed in.
"Dreamed?"
"Yes. Somehow, I was transported to follow Neo-Germany through what had happened that night." Kina confessed.
"And did you see the murderer?"
"Yes. But let me tell you what I saw." Kina remarked.
"Fine. Go ahead."
"When Neo-Germany left the place he's staying at,"
The shorter one cut her off, "You're place, am I not correct?"
Kina blushed, "As I was saying, when he left, I followed him somehow. Kyoji was going to see how Domon and I were doing, and bumped into, none other than Serena, his sister and Hans Holgar of Neo-Denmark. Kyoji and Hans exchanged high fives, and were about to head over to Neo-Japan's Gundam hanger."
"Uh huh."
"Then I turned around at the sound of a bang. I felt the whoosh of bullet go straight through me, and hit Hans in the shoulder. I looked up to see none other than Sire Motsuya."
"Your Father?!"
"I don't consider that man my father." Kina replied.
"Continue."
"Fine. His arm was hanging out the window of a red sports car, and in his hand was a sniper weapon. He adjusted his arm on the seal of the window and fired another shot. But this time, Kyoji stood in front of the shot, to protect his sister, and the bullet hits his shoulder."
"Are you lying? I doubt Sire Motsuya would do such a thing!"
"Yeah, and isn't he dead?"
"Yeah, so how is it that Sire Motsuya could shot Serena and Kyoji Kasshu and Hans Holgar?"
"I don't know that. Sire Motsuya also attacked Kyoji and I when we were heading Neo-Antarctica for the decisive match for the title of Neo-Antarctica's representative." Kina told them.
"I heard about that."
"Yes, well, with Kyoji Kasshu and Hans Holgar down, Sire Motsuya did not hesitate to fire another shot straight at the defenseless Serena." Kina told him.
"And the bullet hit her straight in the heart. Correct?"
Kina nodded, "Yes."
"That's exactly what Cecil Holgar told us."
"Except that she didn't know who the man was, but she described Sire Motsuya."
"Rain Mikamura saw it too." Kina chimed in, "She'll tell you the same story."
"So, what became of either Kyoji Kasshu or Hans Holgar?"
"I don't know what happened to Hans Holgar, but Kyoji staggered to Neo-Japan's Gundam Hangers." Kina told them.
"Is this true, Domon Kasshu."
Domon nodded, "Yes, it is. Kyoji came in, I was the only one conscious at the time. When Kyoji saw Kina on the floor unconscious, he worried about her."
"Aw, how sweet."
"Please."
"Go to hell." Kina muttered under her breath.
"Watch your mouth Neo-Antarctica."
"I just told you what happened, now gimme back my Gundam!" Kina shouted.
"Let her go. But make sure she don't leave the station." The short one told the guard that stood watching.
"Right." The guard nodded and took the handcuffs off of Kina's hands.
"Oh, and tell Demi to drop the falsehood of her disqualification."
"Right." The guard led Kina out of the interrogation room. Sai's eyes watched her and followed the guard out.
"Oh, and bring Rain Mikamura out."
"Right." The guard removed his hand from Kina's back and turned to Rain, yanked her up and threw her inside the door.
"Hey! Don't you dare harass her like that!" Domon's protective voice came from inside the interrogation room. The door swung closed.
Kina sat down, and Sai walked over to her, "Is that really what you saw?"
Kina nodded, "Yes. What? You don't believe me?"
"I needed to know. That's all." Sai sighed as he sat down next to her. Cecil followed suit and sat next to Sai.
"Kina, that's exactly what I saw. Except I saw what happened to my brother, not Neo-Germany." Cecil spoke up.
"So I heard." Kina sighed as she leaned her head up against the wall, and focused her golden eyes on a spot on the ceiling. She wasn't really wanting to talk about it. All Kina wanted to was go home as rest.
After a half hour, the call came out to drop the falsehood about Neo-Japan, and soon after, Domon and Rain both walked out of the interrogation room. Kina slowly stood up.
Kina, Domon, and Sai called for their Corelanders and hopped into them. Domon looked over at Kina, "You sure you'll be alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Oh, and Rain?" Kina asked the Neo-Japanese woman.
"Yeah?"
"Watch your back. You too Cecil. Now that we've confessed, and word gets around to Sire Motsuya, he'll be out for revenge." Kina warned them. The two females nodded and the three hover-cars went their separate ways.

Ending Comments: Yes, I know this chappie is really short, but I thought this would be a good place to end it. I also want to say, I got a really rude review this morning. The person calls themselves Burning Gundam. If you have been with me so far, you know how at the beginning I couldn't remember Cecil's name and called her Celina. And you also know how in Chapter 15, I corrected myself. Well, "Burning Gundam" only got to Chapter 8 and sent me a review, saying, "It's Cecil, not Celina stupid." I do not appreciate being called "stupid," and "Burning Gundam"-who kindly left his email address-got a nice response from me. Well, ja nes! R&R! And a warning, if anyone ever calls me stupid like "Burning Gundam" called me, they will get a nice response from me, somehow or another. Ja!
May your days be as evil as mine are, ^_^*
