I don't own G Gundam. Cant stress enough how many people believe that I do. I'M NOT THAT RICH AITE?!

~A New Beginning~

~Chapter V: What Could've Been~

"Hey what's wrong you guys?" The Noble Gundam lands in beautiful Ne0-Africa. Allenby hops out

and folds her arms while observing the scene. "Gee, who died?" By now both George and Savanna have

arrived. Master Jin shakes his head in disappointment but Seph was in complete and utter shock. "I cant believe

Albert beat master," he whispers. "That means. . . Albert the Assassin is back. Yes, that must be it. Only He has

enough potential to even last against the Undefeated of the Four Winds." Seph pushes his hair back and

turns his unnaturally green eyes to Master Jin. "We should go, Master. There are other things we need to be doing

right now in preparation of the commencing of the 14th Gundam Fight. Allenby hears this and her eyes widen.

"What?! The Fight's still on?" Seph looks at her as if she were from another galaxy. "Of course, little girl. The

14th Gundam Fight will commence in three months. Heed my advice: Get stronger. There are many dangers up

ahead and you need to be prepared to face them. And it is obvious that Albert wont be coming back anytime

soon so I suggest you get outta the habit of relying on him. Let's go, Master." Both Master Jin and Seph departs

into the shadows. Allenby, George, and Savanna were all confused.

"What was THAT all about?" Allenby looks at her comrades for answers. "Domon? Chibodee? Argo? Sai?

Zero? Akemi? What's going on?" Domon nudges Sai and whispers in his ear, "Tell her Sai. I'm not good at

breaking bad news to people so please do it Sai. I'll do anything, please just do it." Sai gets a very evil idea

and nods his head in agreement. "Uhh. . . Sis? Bro's gone and we don't know if he'll ever return. Um. . .

yeah that's it." Domon falls down anime style and smacks Sai upside the head. "Damnit Sai! This isn't a sports

commentary! I could've done a better job than that!" Sai rubs the back of his head and walks off. Domon sighs and

hands Allenby the sword. "Here. Albert wanted you to have it. I'm sorry. I know how much you liked him." She

stared unbelieving at Domon and ceased to blink. "Allenby?" She had, obviously, blacked out.

"Ahh. The Guyana Highlands. I never thought that I'd come back here." Albert closes his eyes

and starts to remember his training with Master Jin. [Never let your guard down, Albert. Never get caught, never

lose, and most important of all, never fall in love.] Albert snaps his eyes open after hearing that. "Never fall in

love. . ." He touches his lip, then moves his hand to his heart. After a moment, his eyes widen and his hand

quickly withdraws from his chest. "I must not waste my time on trivial things such as this. . . love. There are

more important things in life than that." He pulls off his shirt and starts meditating under a waterfall.

[Once known as the most notorious contract killer. He has no equal. His speed is unrivaled. His

strength, unsurpassable. It is said that He could kill someone with his cold stare. He lives his life in solitude, for

there isn't anyone in this galaxy who knows his struggle. . .] Albert jerks awake with cold sweat running down

his face. "Damnit! Another one of these fucking dreams!" He slams his fist on a nearby boulder and crushes it into

pieces. His cold blue eyes starts to form a few droplets of tears. He brushes it away hastily after realizing that

they were there. The sun is just rising and its almighty beams of light illuminate a glint of yellow in Albert's blue

eyes. After watching the sunrise, he gets up to begin his day of training, for he knows that humanity is

depending on him to squash the threat of evil. He sighs. "Another day. Just delaying the inevitable end."

"Uh. . . excuse me. Miss Caitlin Matthews?" The 16-year-old Ne0- American girl opens the door. "Yes?"

The Ne0-American talent agency representative offers her his hand. "My name is Mr. McCloud, a representative

of Ne0-America Talent Agency. You have been chosen to represent Ne0-America in the commencing 14th Gundam

Fight. Besides being able to fight side by side with Chibodee Crocket, the Pacific Gundam is also yours to keep.

Good luck." And McCloud leaves Caitlin totally speechless then bursts out screaming. "OH MY GOSH! I'M Ne0-

AMERICAN'S GUNDAM FIGHTER!! HELL YEAH!!!!" Then she remembers that she has to pack up and runs upstairs

to do just that.

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

"I'm sorry, Allenby." She looks up at Domon with tears in her eyes. "Why?" she whisper softly. "Why

did he have to go?" Domon sighs and tries his best to explain Albert's situation. "You see, Albert is struggling

emotionally right now. He has no recollection of his past, and that's killin' him. You have to understand, he

would never do anything to hurt you. But. . . but he just needs some time to find HIMSELF. I hope you

understand now." Allenby shakes her head. "No, I don't understand. I don't understand at all. . ." Tears start to

stream down her smooth face. Domon seemed a little hurt to see her crying. "I'm sorry, Allenby. I suggest you

return to Ne0-Sweden to train for the Gundam Fight. That's what the rest of us are gonna do." He puts an arm

around Akemi and kisses her gently on the head. "We better go now." George, Zero, Argo, Sai, and Chibodee all

goes their separate ways, leaving the heartbroken Allenby to herself. "Albert. ." she whispered silently. Just

then Charleen lets out an earsplitting yell and Allenby runs off to see what the problem is.

"What is it Charleen?" Allenby asks the 22-year-old Ne0- American. She holds out her right hand,

which has a Shuffle Crest engraved on it. "I-I-It's the Ace of Diamonds. . ." Allenby whispers in awe.

"How did you get it?" Charleen shakes her head. "I don't know. But I'm having a strange feeling that Albert's

going through something very painful right now. Call it a sixth sense, but everything I predict is almost 100%

accurate." Allenby lets out a small gasp. "Albert. . . please come back to me. . ."

Yeah yeah yeah. I know my writing's a tad redundant. But I have so many ideas. That's what not paying

attention in school does to you. Oh, well. Please Review and tell me what you thing. Thanks!

Assassin Gundam doing his homework. . . Until next time.

Arigato.
