I don't own G Gundam or Akemi or Zero or any other OC's submitted by the readers. But I do own Albert.

Synopsis: This is the sequel to Tragedy's Child. To sum up what happened last chapter, Albert's

little brother Aaron gets revived and he steals the Ultimate Gundam. After fighting for a long time, Karato

shoots a huge all-or-nothing blast by using all the energy from the Colonies to destroy the threat. The

attack made a direct hit but reflected on Albert, Seph, and Shinomori in the process. The force of the blast

blows the Shuffle Alliances into Earth's atmosphere. And that's where this chapter picks up.

~Chapter I: In Search Of Survivors~

"Allenby? Allenby! Get up!" I tried to wake the unconscious Ne0-Swedish girl. She opens

her eyes quite slowly. "Rain?" she whispered softly. "Yes. It's me. Don't worry. Everything's gonna be

okay, girl." She uses her arms to push herself up. "I'm okay, Rain. Where did we land?" I looked at the

green, verdant landscape. "My guess is Ne0-Ireland, the Emerald Isle. Allenby? Where're you going?"

The naïve twenty-year-old girl was already in her Noble Gundam's cockpit. "I'm going to

find Albert that's what." 'That's right! Striker X disintegrated upon entering Earth's atmosphere. But that

can only mean. . .' I put my hands to cover my mouth. "That means Albert must've taken a bigger hit than

any one of us!" Allenby nods her head.

"That's right. He's probably hurt pretty badly. Even a guy as strong as him isn't unbreakable."

I nodded my head in agreement. "That's right, Allenby. But we have no idea where he is. We have to contact

my father or Dr. Kasshu." Allenby starts to protest. "I'm not waiting a second longer! Just the thought of

Albert in pain. . ."

"That's the fastest way we can track him down, Allenby! So are you with me or not?!" I

glared at her as she took a minute to think about it. "Okay, Rain. I'll trust you. But if anything bad happens

to him . . ." "It wont, dear. Now let's go."

We entered the Prancing Pony, a local pub in the suburbs. The smell of cheap ale gradually

went to my head. We sat down at the bar where a bartender immediately sees us. "What'll it beeh

lassies?" he asks in a very thick Irish accent.

"Actually, we're not here for a drink, mister. We need to use a visual comm. phone if

you don't mind." The bartender shakes his head. "Only customer can use ta phonie or ta water closet."

Allenby loses her temper and grabs him by the collar.

"We're not in the mood for this bull! So if you ---" I pulled Allenby away and bought a glass

of ale. "Now can we use the phone?" The bartender nods his head. "Aye. It's in the back." I dialed the

number of my father's visual comm.

"Hello, this is Dr. Mikamura." "Father! It's y--" "I am unavailable right now but I promise

to call you back if you leave a message after the beep. *BEEP*" I hung up a little down. "Dad's probably

tracking US down."

"So what do we do? Just wait?" I looked around. 'Not much of a country.' "Let's just see if we

can find the others by ourselves." Allenby agrees and we both went back to our Gundams.

Only to find our Gundams totally short-circuited. I was a little confused but Allenby was

furious. "SON OF A BEE-YATCH!! I HATE THIS COUNTRY!!" A family nearby comes out their house to see

what the ruckus was about. I smiled weakly and waved at them.

Last night, I looked up in the sky hoping to see a shooting star. And to my surprise, I

did. Or at least I thought it was a shooting star. It was actually a Gundam falling from the heavens.

'How is that possible?' I left my shack to see the damage the crash has done to beautiful

Ne0-Africa. But when I opened the cockpit of the Gundam, I didn't expect to see the pilot in such a

pathetic state. So I did the only humane thing: I brought him home to tend to his wounds.

I sighed heavily as I recollect the events of last night. As far as the health of the Gundam

pilot, well, he's not doing that bad considering the circumstances. He's still sleeping as a baby though. I sighed

again and let my hands caress his blue hair.

'Charleen! You stupid, ugly girl!!' I recoiled as I remembered how every guy responds

to my tenderness. 'Maybe this one's different. . .' But I don't live my life on "maybes."

And besides, this Gundam fighter is Chibodee Crocket, the all Ne0-American

pimp/champion boxer. How can I put my trust on such a pig? But he is hurt so I guess I'll try to be nice for

the time being.

"Oww. . . I feel like my head's been split open." Domon comes over and wraps his red

cloak around me. "Feel better, Akemi?" I nodded my head. It was a good thing that Domon caught me

during that big explosion. But I couldn't ignore the fact that the leader of my Shuffle Alliance could be dead.

"He's all right," I whispered to myself. And in all seriousness, I think he survived

somehow. He's always been able to find a way to survive. "You okay?" asked Domon.

I looked up and gazed into his warm, black eyes. "Yeah I'm fine." He wraps his arms

around me. "Tomorrow we're gonna see if we can get off this pathetic rock." I nodded and fell asleep in

his arms with a smile on my face.

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

"Oui. Moi has zis very big ache in ze groin." I looked at the Gundam fighter. 'George de

Sand of Ne0-France.' Why a knight/Gundam fighter comes falling outta the sky and onto my mobile suit horse

is beyond my imagination. But I couldn't help but let my hands wander upon royalty's chest. ^-^

"You'll be all right," I whispered into his ear. He looks up at me still looking a little dazed.

"Where am moi? And who are you, mademoiselle?" he asked. I couldn't help but laugh at being

address like that by George de Sand himself.

"My name's Savanna and you're in Ne0-NativeAmerica. You fell from the sky,

don't you remember?" But he was a little cross-eyed right now and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Excuse moi, mademoiselle, but I think I'll go take zes rest now. Bonjour." And he falls

asleep. I smiled again and cradled his head. 'He's so cute.'

"Damn you, Schwartz!" I yelled as he pushes me into the lake. "What? Aren't you happy that

we landed in Ne0-Germany of all the places?" I looked at him a little weirdly. 'He must've found my stash

of sake. . .' "Yeah, right. Now give me your mask so I can wipe my face."

"But Kyoji! Oh all right!" He tosses his mask at me and I wiped my face gratefully. "Hey,

lookin' fine!" I said to him while I put on his mask and we both took turns singing the German Blues.

"kamen no shita ni kakushite iru. ore no kokoro wa wakaru mai. kodoku ga suki na

otoko dakara. wake nante kiite kureru na."

"omoide nante suteta ore sa. tatakai dake ga jinsei sa. chikara tsukitara sore made

dato. kono ore ga ore ni sasayaku."

"tatakai tsuzukeru ashita mo hitori. GERUMAN BURUUSU. kikasete okure."

"dare mo shiranai mirai nante. dakara yume demo mitaku naru. jidai okure no

ikikata dato. kitakaze ga ore ni sasayaku."

"ashita mo tatakau sore ga sadame to. GERUMAN BURUUSU. mune ni shimiru

"kamen no shita ni kakushite iru. namida nanka wa shiranai sa. otoko wa itsumo yase

gaman de sabishisa o warai tobasu yo. kokoro o kakushite."

"C'mon Zero! Join us!" Zero sweat drops and backs away a little. "I think I'm just

gonna set up camp right there. . . yeah about two miles away. . . have fun." And Zero runs off.

A/N: *spoiler* And the moral of the story is to never be alone with your drunk German speaking android clone or wear his mask. Oh, and I don't own German Blues so don't sue.

Someplace near Ne0-Africa where Gundam Maxter landed, a father with his son

is on a fishing boat. "Now, son. One thing about fishing is that it's a very slow process. I don't expect you

to catch anything soon."

The boy looks confused. "Daddy? I think I caught something! And it's pretty

heavy, too!" The man looks shocked. "What?! Let me see that. Wow, son, it is heavy!"

The guy uses all his might to pull the "fish" to the surface. But when he finally manages

to get it into the boat, he found out that it wasn't really a fish. It was Albert with a fishing hook caught on

his lip.

"GGAAHHHH!!!" The man falls out the boat. "I-I-I-It's a person!!" But the kid shushes

his father. "Quiet, dad. This person's not dead. He's breathing! Plus, his chest's still warm!"

The man paddles ashore and checks to see if what his little boy said was true. "You're

right, son! C'mon let's get this poor fella to Charleen immediately!"

"Hey Bro!" Argo looks at me and says nothing, as usual. "When are you gonna start

talking?" ". . . ." I sighed continued my cooking. "Mmmm. . . Sai Saici's Chinese Style Fried Rice!" I

wiped off the saliva that's running from my mouth and was about to dig in but I noticed that my food

was missing.

"GGAAAHHH!!! Where'd it go?!" I started looking around for it. "It's not

here. . . It's not HERE. . . It's definitely not here. . . Argo, do you know where my food's at?" But I heard

no response. 'Typical.'

I turned around and saw Argo eating my food. I got really angry and pointed my finger

at him. "YOU! You quiet, scary, thick eyebrow, elephant man! I'll get you!!"

I tried to punch his lights out but was swatted away like a common fly. I got up and

tried again. Twenty minutes later, I gave up and sat down. Argo had already finished eating the whole

meal, leaving me not even one grain of rice.

"Ahh. . . thanks for the food, kid." I jumped on him and bit down on his arm. "I

guess if there's nothing to eat, there's nothing better than a big chunk of Argo-arm!"

HahAhAhAHHAHAHahhAHhAHHA!!! I have to admit that this chapter's pretty funny. Well, now you know who's

gonna get the Shuffle Crests. So review and tell me what you think!
