Chapter XVI: The Revival Of Aaron the Striker

"Okay. Here we are. United Colonies HQ just like you requested."

Albert gets outta the cab and holds out a hand for Rain. "Thanks, cab driver guy."

"Don't mention it. Just take care of your girlfriend, hear?"

Albert blushed. "Yeah, okay." And the cab drives off. He shakes his head in amusement while watching the cab drive through a red light.

"Albert? We should be going now. Look! My father's outside waiting for us." Rain grabs his arm and starts leading him toward her father. Upon closer inspection, Dr. Mikamura looked a little spooked.

"Albert," he whispered. "It's a trap. Get outta here!"

But before he had the chance to react, a guy dressed in black injects some dark liquid into his neck. Albert falls down like a ton a brick and blacks out. The man smirks and says, "Now Dr. Mikamura, why did you have to go and turn your back on us? You know what'll happen if you refuse to help us."

Dr. Mikamura spasms and nods his head. "Yes, I understand." Then he faces his daughter. "Rain, dear. There's something that I need to tell you."

Rain looks a little shocked. "What is it father?"

Rain's dad heaves a sigh. "Okay, I'll try and tell you as honest as I can. Before you were born, I was a struggling scientist. Brilliant, yes, but not enough funding to support a family. Then I was offered a job in Ne0-Taiwan by a guy named Takeda. He knew that my major was in robotics, and he wanted me to operate a machine. At first, it sounded innocent enough but it was not, as I found out later on. Daughter, it was I who modified Albert and Shinomori. They're the results of my work. I'm sorry, Rain."

Rain was on the verge of tears again. "B-but why did you just knock him out? He hasn't done anything wrong."

The man wearing black explodes with laughter. "Wrong? Albert? You have no idea about his past, girl. But enough about that for now. We have to get Aaron outta Albert. Let's go, Mikamura."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Albert you jerk!" Allenby growls under her breath. "I cant believe he just left me here to deal with this jerk!" She slaps Chibodee, who was trying to get a peek under her skirt, in the face.

Chibodee falls down on the ground and rubs his face. "Ouch, Allenby. That really hurt. . ."

Allenby raises her hand to smack him again but Shirley stops her. "Stop, Allenby. Only I can kick Chibodee around."

"What?! Who died and made you boss of Chibodee?"

Shirley blushes and puts up her fists. "You wanna go, sister?"

Allenby smiles. "Bring it."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dr. Mikamura looks at the unconscious Albert. "I have to do this, Albert. It might hurt you and for that I am so sorry."

The man next to Dr. Mikamura sighs and rolls his eyes. "Let's get this thing started, old man."

The man places a brain wave wire on Albert's head and connects it to the head of the body of a guy about Albert's height and built, with long red hair similar to Albert's original style. The only thing different is the big scar on this guy's left eye.

"Okay. Aaron the Striker is in place. The brain wavelength is open. Now is the ideal time to transfer Aaron from Albert's mind."

Diligently working with the machine, Dr. Mikamura activates the transfer button while thinking, 'I'm sorry humankind. I'm sorry to bring back this plague.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Damnit!" Domon punches the wall next to him. "Why did I give Rain up like that? What's wrong with me?"

While saying this, another idea is forming in his mind. 'You're available now, Domon. You can have any girl you want?' But Domon tries to reason with this new voice. 'But I only want Rain. Right?' Just then his guidance voice (AKA Master Asia's voice) starts to scream at him.

"What did I tell you, idiot boy? To pay more attention to Rain! But did you? Oh, nooo. You just had to think with your kahuna's rather than your brain. Now she's outta your reach forever. I hope you're happy, Domon."

Domon thinks, 'I am. . . for some reason I kind of enjoy the sensation. The thought of going out with new woman, partying in clubs with Chibodee and Sai. This is all so new to me. And I like it. . .'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Okay it's done," said Dr. Mikamura a little regretfully. "The transfer's complete. I'm going now. Let's go Rain." But the man stops him from leaving.

"Oh, no Doctor. You can leave AFTER Aaron gets up." Right at that moment, the body next to Albert's starts to move. Within seconds, he opens his eyes. 'Turbulent violet eyes. . .'

The new being looks at his fists as he unclenches and clenches. "I'm alive. . . I'M ALIVE!! YES!! YES!! IT'S A MIRACLE! I CAN SEE. I'M AWAKE. . . I'M WIDE AWAKE!!!"

"Aaron the Striker. . ." says a voice. Dr. Mikamura turns to see who it is and gasps. "President Ishigawa. . ."

Aaron bows down. "Mr. Ishigawa. Takeda's Second-In-Command. I await your orders."

Ishigawa starts cackling. "Good. Your mission is to go to Mars and pose as Albert. Find Seph and do whatever it takes to stop him from deactivating the reactor."

Aaron salutes to show he understands the command and leaves. Then Ishigawa turns to Rain and her father. "And as for you two. . ."

"Leave them alone," said a very deep voice.

Ishigawa turns to see who the voice belonged to. "Albert!" cried Rain as she sees Albert up and well.

Albert gets up and knocks Ishigawa's lights out. "Find the others," he said to Rain. "Find the others and tell them to mobilize."

"Albert?" Rain asks questioningly. Albert looses his patience. "I said find the others, damnit! Tell them that if they want to live another day then they'll mobilize and guard the Colonies." And Albert walks off.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Where the hell is Albert?" Seph asks no one in particular as he checks the time. "He's suppose to be here about now."

"Aww keep your pants on Seph," said Aaron's voice. Seph jumps back and draws his sword. Aaron walks out from the shadow and puts his arms in the air. "It's just me Seph."

Seph sheathes his sword and sighs. "You're late Albert. Let's deactivate this reactor and get going."

Aaron smiles. "I'm afraid I cant do that. Lord Takeda needs that reactor. Oh yes, he also needs the Ultimate Gundam, which is stored in this reactor."

Seph jumps back and draws his sword. "Those eyes. . . then you're Aaron!"

Aaron's eyes gleams with loathe. "Yes that's right Seph. After all these years living in Albert, I'm back and stronger than ever."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Thirty minutes after receiving the call from Rain, the two Shuffle Alliances along with Schwartz and Kyoji suits up in their Gundams. They catch up with the Striker X which is already on its way toward Mars.

"Hey Bro! We're all ready now!" Sai yells in his camera system.

"Good!" Albert replies. "This fight's gonna be tough so be careful and follow my lead! Zero, Schwartz, and Kyoji. Turn back to protect the Colonies!"

"Good luck!" called out Zero. Then Shinobee, Spiegel, and Shadow Gundam turns back to the Colonies.

"Thanks. Domon, Akemi, George, Chibodee, Sai. Follow me! The rest of you turn back!"

"Hey!" yelled Allenby and Rain in unison. Albert smirks and gives the two a thumbs up and blasts off toward Mars.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"*huff* you've *grunts* gotten much stronger than the last time I fought you," said Seph as he pushes Aaron back. He drops his sword and put both hands on his knees to catch his breath.

"Thanks," Aaron says and sheathes his own sword. "Last time we fought you killed me remember?"

Seph pushes some strands of hair outta his face and starts to laugh. "I remember. You got that scar from me." He points to the scar on Aaron's left eye and starts laughing.

Aaron's smile leaves immediately and he cheap shots Seph. "Heh. Now to finish my mission." He goes over to activate the reactor and call out the Ultimate Gundam, which appears from underneath Mars's surface. "We'll finish our fight later." And he gets into the MTS suit and blasts off.

Seph gets to his feet, picks up his sword, and starts to smash the control panel of the reactor up. "Damnit!" He calls his Roaring Gundam and blasts off after Aaron.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What the . . .?" I looked at the huge Gundam that was hovering over Mars.

"What's that Ne0-Taiwan?"

Striker X draws its beam sword. "This fight's gonna be a tough one. But its mine and mine only. The rest of you with the exception of Zero stay back. If I'm defeated, reform and attack all at once."

I turned to the teenage Gundam pilot. "You ready kid?" He smirks and draws his sword. "Let's do this gramps."

Both Striker X and Shinobee Gundam blasts off to face the Ultimate Gundam but was stopped by two other Gundams.

"What the . . . Shinomori? Seph? Is that you?" One of the Gundams turn to face me. 'Yes, it's Gundam ScytheBlade.'

"Let's do this thing already," declared Zero. "I'm getting bored already." Seph puts on a very irritated look.

"You don't know who you're up against kid," he said. "The man we're fighting is Aaron, Albert's little brother."

"What?!" Zero uttered incredulously.

"My little BROTHER?!" I didn't know what to believe anymore.

"Yes, your little brother. And the sooner you defeat him, the sooner the nightmare will be over."

I nodded my head. "Yeah all right. Let's do this. We all attack at once, agreed?" The others agreed.

"Watch out little bro," I said softly. "Because I'm gonna kiss your little freaky @$$!!"

Thus we began our assault. But little did we know that it's easier said than done. . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dr. Mikamura is in the control room in the Ne0-Japan Colonies. Karato enters with a very irritated face.

"Somebody better have a good explanation for this," he murmured. Mikamura points at Mars and the cigar in Karato's mouth drops. "What the @#$% is that?! Kuso, it cant be. . . the Dark Gundam!!"

Dr. Kasshu enters and shakes his head. "No, it isn't. That's the Ultimate Gundam, a more improved version of the Dark Gundam." Karato glares at Domon's dad.

"How many times have I told you, Kasshu, to not meddle with things like this? Don't you ever learn from your mistakes?! Gah!!"

"So does this mean we're doomed?" asked Dr. Mikamura.

Karato grins broadly. "No. As Prime Minister of Ne0-Japan, I have prepared for such a crisis." He pulls out a remote and presses a button. Soon the Colonies begins to shake. "Behold. . . the strongest canon ever built. It takes up all the energy of all the Colonies and creates it into a one shot, all or nothing, shot." Karato was not kidding. A HUGE canon appears from outta the ground. "When you get a clear shot, feel free to fire!"

"Wait!" cried Dr. Mikamura. "The Shuffle Alliances are out there fighting it!"

"Fire!!" yelled Karato. The Canon creates a huge energy beam and shoots it at the Ultimate Gundam, along with Seph, Shinomori, and Albert.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Urg!" The Ultimate Gundam cheap shot me. "I'll get you!!! Final Blast!!" I used up my remaining bit of energy to try to destroy it. But as usual, it was futile.

Zero, however, had a lot of energy left. He used his "Camouflage" technique and disappears. Unfortunately, Aaron swatted him away like a fly, which was lucky because he was out of harm's way as a huge beam of energy came towards our way.

"Seph! Shinomori! Get away from the Ultimate Gundam!" Both ScytheBlade and Roaring Gundam flies off as the beam makes a direct hit on Aaron.

"Yes! We did it," I yelled. Just then the Ultimate Gundam explodes with energy, hitting me square in the cockpit. I felt my Gundam incinerating as Striker X enters the Earth's atmosphere and falling into the ocean.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Shit!" I cursed as Shinomori, Albert, and Seph all vanished after the blinding light. Striker X was blown in the direction of Earth while Shinomori to the sun and Seph to Mars.

Just then the force of the blast came towards our direction. "Allenby watch out!" yelled Rain as she grabbed onto me. All of us, including Domon, George, and the rest, surrendered to the power and were blown to the Earth's atmosphere.

That was all I remembered before blacking out after hitting the ground face first.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Karato you idiot!" I yelled as I tried to beat the life outta the foolish Prime Minister.

"Mikamura!" yelled Kasshu as he restrained me. "We don't have time for this! We must track down the others! Think about your daughter, Mikamura. Think about her well-being!"

I stopped restraining and fell to my knees. "Rain. . . please don't die on me, dear."
