It is now three months into the 14th tournament. The Shuffle Alliance had searched nearly every inch of Europe in search of the perpetrator. They had covered all countries except Neo-Sweden.

A hotel in Neo-Italy (Rome) 12:54 A.M.

Domon sighed softly. The dark haired man looked at his wife who lay asleep in bed next to him. He bent down kissing her gently on the cheek. Rain stirred slightly and smiled in her sleep. Domon threw the covers off and grabbed his clothes off of the floor. He got dressed quickly, glancing sideways at the clock. He pulled a piece of paper out of the desk and scribbled a note. He wrapped his cloak around his shoulders and opened the door, looking back at Rain. "I love you," Domon whispered as he walked out making his way past the limits of the city to where the bud carrier was. He got inside God Gundam [Burning Gundam]. The mobile trace system initiated, he mounted the mobile horse Fuun Saiki and took off.

A few hours later Rain woke up, her ice colored eyes shimmered sadly as she looked around the room seeing that Domon wasn't there. "Just how he used to act," she muttered as she noticed the note he left.

Dearest Rain, I need time to think, to clear my head, you know where I'll be Love Domon

The location instantly popped into her head, Guyana... she recalled how he had gone there to master the super mode years before. She called the other 4 members of the Shuffle Alliance, and they agreed to meet there in a few days.

March 20th

A hidden warehouse just beyond the Guyana highlands

Allenby slowly opened her eyes peering into the vast darkness. She didn't know how she had gotten there, all she remembered was trying to stay awake afraid that if she fell asleep she would fall victim to whoever was after her.

She tried to move but metal bonds held her back, she had been chained to the wall. She could see nothing, but heard the soft click of human footsteps in the dark. She heard a familiar malevolent cackle, somewhat like the one she had hear over the phone that night. One dim light clicked on illuminating a small circle in front of her. The approaching figure stepped into the light, thin lips curled into a malicious smirk. His beady eyes focused on her.

Allenby glared. "Well, if it isn't the little mermaid himself," she said commenting on the man's long red hair.

The man reached his hand out wrapping his fingers around her throat, "You aren't in a position to be talking like that."

Allenby winced as he tightened his grip on her neck, "Go ahead and kill me, Michelo."

Michelo sneered, "Do you think we'd bring you all the way to South America just to kill you?"

"We?"

Another figure stepped into the light. It was the corpse-like Gentle Chapman.

"What do you two want with me?"

Chapman silently pointed to the far wall of the large warehouse where 4 gigantic figures could be seen: a humanoid figure, a mammoth-like figure, a bird-like figure and a ball-like figure.

Allenby gasped, "Th... those are..."

"The four kings..." Michelo grinned, "we brought you here since you were the original pilot of Walter Gundam. We need you. We need you to help us destroy the Shuffle Alliance. It's our revenge, you were one of us before, join us again."

"Never..." she growled

"you will... you will come to us..." Michelo simpered letting go of her throat. He turned to Chapman "Convince her, there is still one left." He walked over to a table picking up a vial filled with clear liquid and a syringe before disappearing into the darkness.

Chapman stepped up to her holding a knife in his hand. He held the blade to her neck with a maddened smile on his face. Allenby shut her eyes; she'd prefer death to betraying Domon. 'But wait...' she thought, 'why would he do this if they need me alive?' Chapman slid the blade about 1/8 of an inch into her throat. She cringed trying not to scream, but what struck her as most astonishing was the fact that she felt no blood trickle from the wound. "But... but how?"

Chapman held up another vial of clear liquid. "It's an immortality serum, now that you've been given it there is nothing left for you but to be immersed in pain forever... until you join us."
