DISCLAIMER: I don't own G Gundam.

~A New Beginning~

~Chapter VIII: Tag Team Battle~

Albert walks off a little heatedly after seeing Shinomori's death being dismissed so casually. He swore

under his breath as he kicked front door open and got into his car. He hits the gas hard and zooms off. Just then

the car in front of him breaks down and because it's a one-lane street, Albert sighs in annoyance and starts

honking just out of habit. When getting no response, he swears again and gets out to see what wrong. But as he

reaches the broken down car, he falls to his knees and clutches his head again, rolling over and yelling in agony.

["Wow. . .How're you doin'?" I asked my lifelong friend, Shinomori, who answers "I think I'm gonna throw

up. . ." I looked at him disgustingly. "Really? I don't know how you feel, since I never have any motion

sickness. Maybe you should breathe in a paper bag." I paced around again and stopped, trying to find a bag for

my friend to breathe in. "Albert, sit down." I spun around and locked eyes with Seph's unnaturally green ones.

Blushing, I respond, "Sorry, Mr. Seph. I'm just really nervous that's all. This is my first mission." Seph sighs.

"Just like a novice. . ." Indignantly, I asked, "What are we tryin' to accomplish here?" Seph sighs and pushes

his long silver hair back. "I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to know. All right. Our objective is to capture a little girl

named Charleen." I looked at him questioningly. "Why? Why would Takeda Corp. need a little girl?" Seph

sighs again and looks away. "That," he pointed out, "Will remain a secret, even to you. Understood?" I nodded

obediently, for I would never want to get the Great Seph angry, especially at me.]

"Mister?" It was Allenby, who bolted out her car after hearing the screams. She bent down to

examine the man and gasps when she pushes the hair out of Albert's face. "Albert! Wha-Oh, Albert! You're really

here!" But obviously, he had already blacked out. Allenby quickly places him gently in the back seat of his car

and drives off to her hotel.

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

"What's keeping that girl?" Domon is really pissed off, especially when it comes to waiting for

stragglers. Rain looks at everyone worriedly. "She's never been THIS late. . . maybe something's wrong. . ." Kyoji,

who was next to Rain, puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, Rain. You don't have to worry. She's a

Gundam fighter; she can take care of herself. Me and Schwartz are going to look for her." And they both walked

out of the room, only to have their faces smashed in as they reached the door. Allenby storms in with sweat

running down her face, carrying a fairly large man with blonde hair on her shoulders.

Chibodee immediately rushes over to relieve her of the burden. Allenby exhales deeply and brushes

the sweat on her forehead and letting out a "Whew!" She slumps onto the couch but her eyes never left Albert.

Rain goes over and notices Albert's whimpering and sweating. "He must be going into some sort of shock. . .

Kyoji, I'm gonna need your help." Kyoji nods slowly but still eyes Albert apprehensively before whispering, "I

have a bad feeling about this. . ."

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

"Albert, stop!" Everyone froze when they heard this and eyed the closed door apprehensively. A few

moments later, Albert emerges, his face the color of a dark shade of red. He quickly walks to the door with only

his pants and shoes on but Allenby grabs his arm. He grunts and mumbles, "Get your hands off me, woman."

But she refuses to let go. Albert raises his hand and smacks her flush on the face, sending her sprawling in the air

and into Argo. "I said lay off!" Albert storms out the room still scarlet in the face but stops abruptly again at the

stairs. "There's another presence. . .a very strong one. Yes, it seems like the Ace of Spades has found a new

owner. The search continues. . ."

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

"What the hell?" Allenby wriggles out of Argo's arms and gets out the starter key for both her

Gundam and corelander. "Dumb Albert. . .I waited so long for you and this is how you treat me?" She storms out,

all eyes on her. Then Argo also exits quietly through the fire escape, Sai Saici sitting on his shoulders.

A/N: He never talks, so I assume that the others just don't pay attention to him.

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

Argo strolls down the dilapidated streets of Ne0-NewYork with his usual stoic expression. Sai tries to

get him to talk. "So Bro where're we goin'?" Argo ignores the short Ne0- Chinese boy and continues down the

street silently. Little do they know that two Gundam fighters are following them. It wasn't until Sai dozed off

and fell off of Argo that they caught a glimpse of their stalkers. "Come out," Argo says gruffly. A moment later, two

attractive girls come from out of the shadows. Sai immediately falls for the one that's the same height as him.

A/N: Look at that. They already have one thing in common. . .

"Let us introduce ourselves." It came from the shorter of the two girls. Sai was still drooling. "My name

is Aura Kuimka, Ne0-Alaska's Gundam fighter." Then the other girl cuts in. "And my name is Caitlin Matthews,

Ne0-America's Gundam fighter." And in unison they shout, "And we challenge you two to a Gundam fight

match!"

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

"Damn Albert, we'll see. . ." Allenby catches up to the departing King of Clubs. "Oi! Albert!" The

blonde Gundam fighter stops at his tracks and looks over his shoulders. "Yeah, that's right. Albert! I

challenge you to a Gundam fight match!" He smiles widely and nods his head. "I accept. But I will not be

responsible for your demise, you foolish girl." That ticked Allenby off. "I'm only one freakin' year younger than

you!" He continues to smile. "This should be amusing," he thought as the Ne0-Swedish girl calls for her Gundam.

He follows suite.

"Gundam fight all set?" Albert grins as Striker Zero's eyes turns yellow, indicating that all systems are

go. "Ready???" Allenby draws her beam ribbon. "Go!!!"

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

"Shit!" Sai yells out in pain as Frozen Gundam kicks him in the groin. He lets out flames from his

dragon arms to gain some distance between himself and Aura. "Frozen Angel Flame!" Frozen Gundam lets out icy

flames to protect herself from Sai's. The attacks meet in a stalemate and explodes in midair, sending both Dragon

and Frozen Gundam flying in opposite directions. Sai gets to his feet. So does Aura. "I'm outmatched. . ." Sai

thought and jumps into his Hyper Mode. "Goodbye!" Dragon Gundam sprouts butterfly wings and he performs

some Shaolin style moves in midair. "I know that if you and I met in another place I would've asked you out so

fast. . .but I cant change the inevitable. Here I go!! Shin. . . Ryuusei. . . Kochouken!!"

Frozen Gundam jumps away from Dragon Gundam and also starts to glow, but unlike the Dragon

Gundam, it starts to glow blue instead of yellow. "I'm sorry, Sai!" Aura yelled. "I agree with you. If we HAD met in

some other time, I would've accepted your invitation. This makes it even harder for me to finish you." Frozen

Gundam's right hand starts to illuminate a very strong blue light like Shining Gundam does when it activates the

Shining Finger. "Goodbye, Sai Saici! Frozen Fingers!!" Both Gundams erupt in a blazing fire.

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

"This should be interesting," Caitlin thought as she put on her MTS suit. "MTS suit's a little bitch to put

on," was her next thought. "Argo Gulskii, are you ready to lose?" Argo, on the other end of the street, lets a smile

escape. Evidently, fighting such a little girl seems to amuse him. Bolt Gundam pulls out its weapon. "Let's do this,

KID." Caitlin clenches her teeth and whips her waist length hair in Bolt Gundam's face, causing Argo to stagger

and take a step back. Pacific Gundam starts its assault, hitting Bolt with everything it has, using two of its

three beam sabers. She gives Argo one more kick before backing off. She smirks and puts her hands on her hips.

"Look, the little kid has beaten you," she said slyly.

Argo gets up and gives Caitlin a rare smile before disappearing completely. In a flash, Bolt

Gundam manages to catch Pacific Gundam off guard and stun it with a blow to the back. He continues to strike

Caitlin, dishing out everything he's got, kicking, punching, and using Bolt Gundam's head Vulcan's

simultaneously. What seems like forever, Pacific Gundam gets up to its feet once again ready to fight. Argo smiles,

thinking, "I like her attitude," before getting out his Graviton Hammer. Caitlin, knowing that's Argo's main weapon,

readies herself for an offensive/defensive switch. She activates Pacific Gundam's special feature. Its wings spread

out, shooting feathers at the Bolt. Argo immediately directs his attention to the damn feathers as Caitlin

uses the Sekiha Tenyouken, a move perfected by watching the King of Hearts on T.V. in the 13th Gundam Fight.

Just as the attack left her palms, the Noble Gundam gets right in between Argo and Caitlin, leaving

Allenby totally exposed to get hit. Caitlin, regretting using the attack, tries to stop the attack but it was already

too late. Argo is also a little preoccupied with the feathers, which is now a whirlwind like Gundam Rose's Rose

Hurricane.

Just as Noble Gundam's about to get hit, Striker Zero kicks her out of the way, taking the hit directly.

Needless to say that the match was called off but it's pretty obvious that Pacific Gundam and Frozen Gundam

won.

Shit. Sorry for not updating for so long but I totally froze upon writing this chapter. Again I'm sorry.

And if you have time, check out my other story, Blood Runs Thicker Than Blood. I don't want to talk about it

right now but just check it out. It'll be worth your time I promise.

Well, I guess the next time I'll update this story is in 3-5 days. Until then, take care of yourself, and each other.

Hahaha. Jerry Springer says that.

. . . . . Sorry I'm high on sugar right now. @_@
