Images flooded Kamui's head. He saw Domon, his real father and Rain, his real mother. He saw the numerous fights and countless enemies and allies the Burning Gundam had seen. But what appeared most strongly was the Burning Gundam in its full tournament glory in a black, endless place were Kamui found himself, the same height as the Gundam.

'Hello, Kamui Kasshu,' the Burning Gundam greeted him.

'Burning Gundam,' Kamui replied.

'You have finally awakened me and I sense a great danger lying about.' The Gundam paused, 'Ah, I see, Trio is in terrible danger and you wish to save your best friend.'

'I can't let her die or anything even close to death after she just found me. We've worked too hard to stay alive to die now!'

Kamui felt the fighting spirit of the Burning Gundam awaken.

'Deathscythe,' he murmured, 'has informed me that my awaking was right on time. The time to fight for our existence has finally arrived.

'He has also told me, though I could barely decipher what he said, that the virus Nekura slipped her was a technologically advanced virus that would have been used for cyborgs if the world had any. It was manufactured as humans began to realize electronics could be used to keep them alive longer but humans never evolved to the point of cyborgs and the manufacturing of this microscopic virus were stopped. Kai managed to get hold of one before they were destroyed and has had it for some time. He must have given it to Nekura along with the net.'

'And he could tell you all this?'

'Deathscythe, Heavyarms, AND Shenlong Nataku have told me this information.

'It will shut down her machine side and since she's still got Deathscythe activated and since Deathscythe has control over her every function it will shut everything in her body down. It will soon put her into a comatose or suspended animation state. If we don't turn Deathscythe off and keep it off she will not be able to wake up without the help of the enemy.'

Kamui nodded and found himself back in his body and looking down at the young girl who was trying to keep breathing but ultimately failing. He felt a sudden prodding and looking at Trey, who was looking at him.

'Trey?'

'She has her activation pad in her back pocket.'

'Why don't you get it and push the button?'

'Shinna and I are going to restrain Nekura should he realize what we're doing. Besides, you're her best friend, she'd be honored, if she cared at the moment, if you'd do it.'

Shinna and Trey stood up, stepping in front of the pacing Aka who stopped and looked at the two kids. Kamui rolled Trio over and felt her back pocket (though he was blushing) and quickly located the pad. He quickly pulled it out.

Nekura perceived what Kamui was trying to do at the same time Aka did.

'YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT! THEY'LL STOP YOU!' Aka screamed in his head as Nekura tried to come out of his little world. When he didn't gain immediate acceptance into Aka's body he began clawing at the 'door'. Aka screamed and grabbed his head, falling to the floor. Kamui looked up sharply.

"Do it, Kamui," Aka gasped as the pain increased, "Do it quickly before Nekura gets out!"

Kamui grimly nodded and in one quick motion lifted the cover and pushed the 'on/off' button: nothing happened. Kamui panicked and pushed it again, harder but nothing still happened.

"What's wrong?" Trey asked.

"I don't know," Kamui whispered.

'HAHAHA,' Nekura laughed. 'So it isn't working, that's great, now to get that.' Nekura pushed as painfully as he could on Aka's awareness and was rewarded with a scream and admittance into his body.

"Now," Nekura said aloud as he lunged for the remote, bypassing the two G- Alloids standing guard. Shinna reached for him and missed, now the two could only watch in horror. Kamui saw him coming and turned to face him.

As Nekura's hand stretched forward it did not successfully grab the remote; on the contrary, it hit the on/off button that was still uncovered.

As Nekura crashed to the ground Trio's breathing immediately calmed and she fell into a quick sleep.

Kamui gasped but chided himself on getting distracted and tossed her remote to the surprised Shinna. He leaned down and grabbed both of Nekura's hands.

"What are you going to do now you freak?"

"Damn you, Kamui!" Nekura hissed, "how did you know?"

"Know what?"

Nekura laughed a guttural laugh, "You still don't know. Look to the rules, you'll see eventually; IF it's not too late for Trio by then." Nekura relaxed and the groaning sound of Aka soon came from the fallen form.

"Kamui, I'm sorry," Aka cried as Kamui helped him stand up.

"No, you did the right thing," Kamui touched his shoulder.

"What do you mean? I let him out."

"He forced his way out and without him we wouldn't have been able to turn the remote off."

"Kamui," Geovin yelled down the hall.

"We got it turned off, she's okay."

"Pizza will be here any minute for you and your friends."

Kamui smiled, "Thinks of everything he does." He turned back to the two teenagers staring in awe at Kamui, Aka and Trio.

"We.we did it," Shinna said quietly.

Trey smiled, "Good job, Kamui."

Kamui rolled his eyes, "Enough of that. It wasn't just me, it was us all."

'Kamui,' a strange voice spoke in Kamui's head, 'thank you for helping save us.'

'Deathscythe,' Kamui guessed, 'you're welcome but if it wasn't for Aka you'd be lost.'

'Yes, I know. Keep an eye on him. Nekura is a dangerous character to deal with and you cannot afford any mistakes at this point.'

'I understand.'
