A/N: Thank you for reviewing my story, Sora! It's nice to know that someone actually reads my stuff. And people who like it are that much better! Thanks. Disclaimer: I don't own G Gundam. If I did, I would have brought it over a lot sooner.

Stalker: If you'll allow me, I would like to tell you our story so far. Yesterday, we met Neo Canada's Gundam Fighter, Alexander Thomas and his Wolverine Gundam. Today, we'll be traveling to Neo England, where Alex is to partake in a match with the Knight Gundam. However, another member of the Shuffle Alliance is waiting there for our brave fighter.. Let's get things started! Sore de wa Gundam fight, Ready... GO!!!!! Chapter Three: Return of the Rose! Challenge to a Knight!

Alexander Thomas sighed. Looking out the window, he knocked his head against the window a few times, just to kill time. He had heard that Britain was supposed to be a nice place, with an ancient history and rich culture. But all he saw here was rain. Lots and lots of rain. He had managed to look up Neo England's Gundam Fighter, Benjamin Walters, find out where he was staying relatively quickly, and challenge him to a match. However, Walters had said that he already had a match. A match with Neo France's Gundam Rose. All that Alex could do was wait. Neo Japan's team had followed him here, to see if they could challenge the Knight Gundam. In fact, they were staying across the room from Alex. Getting up, he wandered out his door and began going down the steps. Before he was a quarter of the way down, a blur ran into him with enormous force, knocking him down. Looking up, he say, with an amused smile, a head of short sea-green hair, and a face that had half of a donut sticking out the mouth. "Hello, Miss Biazury." Allenby got to her feet, swallowing the rest of the donut. "Sorry about that, didn't see you there. I- Hey, it's the Neo Canada fighter! How you doing?" Hauling Alex to his feet, she smiled widely at him. "You gonna watch the match today?" Alex nodded. "Was thinking about it. I guess Mr. King of Hearts wants to beat me to winning a fight, huh?" Allenby grinned. "You act like you know the guy as if he were you're best friend or something." At that remark, a quick look of pain flashed over Alex's face. Then, he shook his head. "A fighter like him isn't that hard to figure out, especially when I hear him and his wife arguing about things. You are right across the hall from me. Didn't you know that?" Five different expressions of amusement, curiosity, and confusion crossed over Allenby's face at the same time, ending up in her face looking like a large jigsaw puzzle put together by a lunatic. Alex chuckled at the expression on the Neo Swede, then went down the stairs. "See you later, Miss Biazury." Allenby continued walking towards the team's apartment, wondering about what she had seen going across Alex's face. **TWO HOURS LATER**

Alex watched as the Gundam Rose and The Knight Gundam stepped forth into a ruined part of London. Drawing their swords, they gave each other a mock salute, then began fighting. The Knight Gundam, which looked exactly like what is was named after, held up it's shield to block off the Rose Gundam's blows, then swung at the French Gundam. But the pilot of the Gundam Rose, George de Sand, easily avoided the blow. Stepping back, it's cape lifted up and shot out dozens of small Rose Bits at he Knight Gundam. Completely overtaken by the small bits, Walters didn't even notice George moving in for the kill until it was too late. With one clean swipe, the head of the Knight Gundam went bouncing on the ground. The body crumpled forward, creating a huge cloud of dust. But Alex didn't even notice. He had left to get his Gundam.

"Well, mon ami, it seems that I have won this fight. As a knight, I must say that you fought bravely. Unfortunately, bravery doesn't win battles alone. Remember that next Gundam Fight." George de Sand smiled, then saluted the other Gundam again. He had been hoping for a better opponent in his first Gundam Fight, but had been disappointed. Suddenly, a large crash startled the French knight. Looking behind him, he saw an unfamiliar Gundam stand up. "George de Sand, I challenge you to a Gundam fight, right here, right now!" Alex waited for the reply. A few seconds later, a screen popped up in the Wolverine Gundam's cockpit, showing the young face and unmistakable hairdo of George de Sand. "Well, now. A Gundam Fight, with no chance to rest? How rude. However, because you seem like a worthy opponent, I will accept. Gundam Fight." "Ready, GO!!!" "ROSE BITS!" The tiny gun pods shot out of the Rose Gundam's cape, firing at the oncoming Wolverine Gundam. Leaping up into the air, Alex swung his beam saber at the oncoming bits, destroying a few. But the rest kept coming. Ignoring the rose bits, he charged again, to meet the Rose Gundam's beam sword. Pulling out his battle-ax, Alex swung at George's Gundam. Anticipating the attack, George blocked the first blow. Alex grimaced. **He's really fast. But if I can tie with the legendary King of Hearts, I can beat this fighter.** He ignored the fact that George was the Jack of Diamonds, another member of the Shuffle Alliance. At the edge of the fighting ring, Domon Kasshu watched the match with interest. He had been waiting to see how well George would hold out against Alex, and he seemed to be holding his own. Rain sat in the Core Lander, with Allenby on the edge of the cockpit munching on popcorn. "So, who do you think is going to win, Domon?" Domon shook his head. "I don't know, Rain. Alex is a great fighter, but George is more experienced. That alone makes it hard to guess." Allenby shook her head. "I fhink the Neo Kanada ifhs." She stopped to swallow the mouthful of popcorn she had been chewing. "I think that Neo Canada's gonna win." Domon smiled knowingly. "Why's that?" Allenby turned a deep red. "I don't know, it's just that if he can put you into a tie in his first match, he can probably beat George." Rain grinned. "Is that the only reason?" Allenby choked on her popcorn and sent death glares at the two other team members as they laughed at the expression on Allenby's face. "Oh, shut up." Pulling out of the fight, George shouted, "ROSE SCREAMER!" Alex grinned. This was the perfect time to test his other move. "Shadow of Deception!" Nothing happened. The Rose Bits surrounded the Wolverine Gundam, pinning it down. George walked up to the helpless Gundam. "And now, the coup de grace." No reply came from the trapped Gundam. With one clean swipe, his beam sword sent the head of the Wolverine Gundam flying. At the sidelines, a short blond woman and a gray haired man stood watching the fight, along with the Neo Japan team. "George! You won! Great job!" the short woman yelled. "Miss Marie Louise, don't you think that was a little too easy?" Marie Louise de Sand, Princess of France, looked up at the man with an amused smile. "Raymond! Shame on you. I think George fought very well, and you should too." Raymond sighed. Sometimes there was just no point in arguing with her. George sighed. "I was hoping for a tougher opponent. But, oh we-" He was cut off as an enormous weight rammed into his back. Taken completely by surprise, George stumbled forward. "What the heck was that?!" Turning around, he saw with astonishment that the Wolverine Gundam was standing there, head and all. "But I just severed your head!!" Alex grinned. "No, you didn't. You severed a hologram's head." The headless Gundam inside the Rose Screamers grid flickered, then vanished completely. "But how on earth did you do that?" Alex smiled. "My Shadow of Deception. I suggest you call this match a draw, if you don't want to loose your head." The Gundam's battle-ax was directly at the Gundam Rose's neck, ready to cut it off at a moments notice. Inside his cockpit, George smiled with amazement. "Truly you are a formidable opponent. I believe I underestimated you, mon ami. Tell me, what is your name?" "My name is Alexander Thomas from Neo Canada." "Well, Monsieur Thomas, I am glad that I have found a formidable opponent. I should hope that we will meet again down the road." "Before we part ways, have you seen this man?" The picture of the smiling man appeared in George's cockpit. "Never. Why?" Alex sighed. "Never mind." Getting out of his cockpit, his dark blue eyes staring into the sky, he vowed to find that man, someday.

Next Episode! Alex goes to Neo Russia, to find Gundam fighter Argo Gulskii! But when he gets caught up in a deadly scheme, will he be killed before he can fight against the Bolt Gundam? Rage of a Giant! The Bolt Gundam Strikes again!
