disclaimer: I do not own any piece of eiether Armored Core or Gundam. But I do own Odin's thoughts, as will my friend own Zero's thoughts, when we write that part of the chapter. i also do not own the song. but i like it.

excert from eminem's soldier "I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge, i'll never fall or fold up,i'm a soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or crumble, I will never slip or stumble, i'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge, i'll never fall or fold up, i'm a soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or crumble, I will never stumble..."

Odin suddenly woke up, he was covered in sweat, he was thinking about Zero, he knew what it was, it was the fact of what Zero had taken from him so long ago, back on Mars. He slowly got up from bed, his body cloaked in shadows, he was a raven, they both were.

Odin slowly picked some federation cloths. "It can't be, these are the same cloths that Kisaragi used for their workers. Could it be that I am in the past?" He rembered the arena, that fateful day as Zero killed his father. Zero's words still haunt him to this day "Come on..... come on..... come on.... NOW DIE"

Zero's sword went through the cockpit. The whole Armored Core burst into flames, he was only six at that time. That day he knew what to do. He would fight and defeat Zero, then he would kill him, like he killed his father, his brother was about 20 and he was about 16 when his brother faced Zero, Zero was only 18, but the skill was unbelieveable, he killed his brother in less then three seconds. His mother waged a protest against people like Kisaragi for making these wars on the new earth (Play Armored Core Silent line for info.) and Zero was assigned to kill them all, by the time he got there it was too late, they were all dead "They screamed for their lives." he could hear Zero say.

Then he rembered Rose (custom pilot, and yes, she will be a referense from now on). That Rose and Odin had dated some, then. They decided to enter the team arena, then they faced Zero. He rembered her screaming as Zero killed her. Odin was alone, and he would always be alone. He knew this, as long as Zero was alive he would be alone.

His mind flashed about Sayla, he blushed, he thought about how nice she was. He slowly dressed in the cloths, loving how it felt. "Could i actualy.....NO.....couldn't be...."

The alarms buzzed, he knew it was Zero. He always knew, it was like they were psychicaly linked. He looked up from his cockpit of his new mobile suit, the GM sniper II prototype. He looked and said "I'll handle it, Zero and this time, it will not lose." he launched his gundam. He floated some in space, looking, checking his radar " he is coming from six sides at once?" he felt a sudden shock that sent him flying, Zero was now in a Gelgooge his colors, black and white.

"New mobile suit, same old pilot"Zero floated there, then all of a sudden, he chanted his phrase before he normaly attacked "COME ONE....COME ON....COME ON........NOW DIE" Zero rushed him, swinging his sword at him, Odin quickly moved, he looked and said "I will make you pay" Zero began to laugh, this made Odin stop cold. "Your parrents and brother screamed for mercy as I killed them. Your brother fought hard, but he is no match for me" Odin stoped, he was breathing heavily, his anger causing him to get a jolt of power, he flew faster.

Zero looked and gritted his teeth. "Damn, how did he get that much power?" Zero watched him, but Odin already had the gun aimed, as he was about to hit him, He could hear Sayla call out from her C-booster. "Odin, don't. If you kill him, you will be no better then him" Odin stoped, and felt a huge bash as Zero boosted into him, causing him to lose his barrings. "What does she mean to you?" Zero boosted to the side, moving a gun out aiming it right at the c-booster. Odin had to make it to her in time, he screamed to her "SAYLA"
