Setting: Inside Side 1 Texas Colony 11:59 a.m.
Treize – "A Duel in Texas, to take place at High Noon; how old-fashioned."
Amuro – 'I can't afford to lose it, not again. Camille…' Announcer – "All right boys the match will begin in 10…"
Treize – 'What is this pressure I'm feeling?'
Announcer – "…8…"
Amuro – 'Lalah, what has happened?'
Announcer – "…6…"
Treize – 'I know this pressure, I've felt it before.'
Announcer – "…5…"
Amuro – 'It couldn't be…'
Announcer – "…3…"
Treize – 'I can see him, see through the suit.'
Announcer – "…1…"
Amuro – 'It's just not possible.'
Announcer – "…0! Fight!"

Treize put his Vernier on full output and took off, just in time to see a shot from a Beam Rifle fire through where he had been standing. He returned fire in kind with his own Beam Rifle but hit only the red dirt of this Colony. The wind was unusually vigorous this day; it created a dust storm that made visibility low. For some reason though, Treize thought he could still see his opponent through the haze.
Amuro quickly sent out his Funnels to take his opponent out quickly; he knew, however, that it would not be that easy for his opponent had survived as many battles as he. Amuro landed on a plateau in order to get a better view of the surrounding area. No, visual scanning would not be enough to win this day. With a new sense of purpose Amuro reached out with his mind and found the one he sought.
Amuro – "Funnels go!"
Treize did another Vernier boost that combined with his EMF Shield managed to nullify the attack. He spotted his enemy and landed on the same plateau.
Amuro – "I think that we are both underestimating each other." Treize – "True, we were never properly introduced were we? I am Treize Khushrenada."
Amuro – "Amuro Ray."
Treize – "Shouldn't it be spelled 'Rei?' I guess it doesn't matter."

That shield of his had blocked an energy beam; this Hydra Gundam was very advanced. Amuro had to say about his foe.
Remote controlled Beam Weapons, not bad Nu Gundam. But Treize knew he had to win, wait… why did he have to win? He felt some burning desire to advance, but such a thing did not seem coherent with his personal philosophies.

Treize – "Something is wrong; I know you feel it as well."
Amuro – "A voice in your head telling you to defeat your foe and move on."
Treize – "The same. I think it is past time for some answers."

Hydra Gundam's Shoulder Claws extended and fired upon a nearby ground target. Treize then moved toward it and pulled out the terrified Announcer within.

Treize – "I think he may have the answers."
Announcer – "You are disqualified Treize Khushrenada, Amuro Ray ad…"
Amuro – "Shut up, you're playing around with our lives like they are amusement for teenagers who have nothing better to do online."
Treize – "You have some explaining to do… assassin." Announcer – "Hey, did I pull any of those triggers or move any of those joysticks? No way man, I just show up and tell people to fight."
Amuro – "Why?"
Announcer – "Because it's fun."
Treize – "I've heard, and said, a lot of unintelligent things in my life. But that is, by far, the dumbest thing I have ever heard." Amuro – "You creep; you call death and mayhem fun?"
Treize – "You aren't smart enough to have done this on your own. Who are you working for? Talk or we can always resume fighting, but a civilian like yourself might get caught in the crossfire." Announcer – "Okay, okay. I'll tell you, go to aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

The wind suddenly stopped as though the moment before the storm hit. The side of the colony exploded, and in through the gap came a host of Mobile Suits. Both Treize and Amuro recognized them as those whom had already been defeated thus far in the tournament. Shadow Gundam, Master Gundam, The O, Qubeley, Quin Mantha, Eagel, F91 Gundam, the Kämpfer, Wing Gundam, Burning Gundam, and a few others.

Amuro – "Looks like we're outnumbered."
Treize – "I am inclined to agree, Amuro. However, we have more to face than mere numbers."
Amuro – "What are you saying?"
Treize – "I have always wished to champion the Romantic ideal of sacrificing oneself for a cause. You must go forward Amuro; I shall face this multitude."
Amuro – "You know hat you're going to die, right?"
Treize – "I seem to recall dying once before, in another lifetime. A death which then allowed another to face his life without fear. If my stand could aid you to your end, then it shall."
Amuro – "….Right. Hey, Announcer! Where will this end?" Announcer – "Go to A Baoa Qu, you will find the endgame there."

The Nu Gundam activated its engines and took off toward the docking bays on the other side of the colony; inside his cockpit Treize smiled. His foes had at last gathered together and were ready for the final fight. Treize activated his Beam Saber.

Treize – "Announcer, would you kindly proceed with the commencement."
Announcer – "Alright… Pilots ready?"
Treize – 'Nunquam Non Paratus'
Announcer – "And… Fight!"

Amuro didn't look back as the sounds of battle arose, for his final tests lay ahead of him.
