SORTING OUT THINGS
After the incident with Meia, Taiho has been training himself physically and mentally to get more control of the future data that the ZERO system creates within his mind. He knew that he should not have activated the system in such a manner, but he was just so enraged by Meia's condition, that he could not think straight and so now he was going through the katas his mother taught him. The reason for this was to clear his mind of any negative thoughts and have a clear state of mind, or as the characters of G Gundam called it, as serene state of mind.
'I must have no negative emotions,' he thought as he went through the slow movement of his kata and breathed in and out slowly,' I must have no ill thoughts, must have total control of mentality,' he then neared the end of his kata when he felt someone watching him.
"You can come out now," he said out loud to the garden area around him, as he had his eyes closed.
"How'd you know I was here?" a feminine voice asked, as the person came out to reveal Meia with a confused look on her face," and what are you doing?" she asked with a little blush, as she looked at his half naked form. He only had his training sweats pants on at the moment and was giving off a shine with his body being drenched in his own sweat.
As he ended his kata, he opened his eyes and turned to her with a smile on his face," I was training to clear my mind, I need to have a clear mind in order to handle all the future data I receive from the Dark Angel Gundam's ZERO system."
"Why do you need a clear mind?" she asked as she focused her attention on his face, so as not to feel too weird staring at his sweating body.
Taiho then went over to where his towel was hanging off a branch and took it to wiped the sweat off his forehead," because in order to handle such a fast amount of data, I need to have a clear mind, so that my mentality doesn't go on the brink of insanity," Taiho then paused for a moment to think, he then turned his head to Meia and gave her a big smile," how about you join me in my practices? I sure could use the company and I know that you get stressed at a lot of moment's leader. Trust me, it is very relaxing to do this."
She seemed to think on this for a bit,' well, I do need to do other things other than just checking on the Dread formations. Then there is that fact that I am feeling stressed from all the work from today,' not that she'll also admit that she also wants to explore where her feelings are going with her second in command. After being done with her thoughts, she looks to him and gives a small smile," sure, I could use something else to relieve my stress," she pauses a bit and looks a bit nervous, which made Taiho feel she was getting out of character," well…do you have time now to teach me on how to do it?"
Looking a bit surprised, he gives back his own smile and nods," sure, now come over here and stand next to me," she nods and goes up right beside him," okay, follow my movements carefully, and breathe deeps breaths, slowly, but not…." And so it went on for like this for at least three hours. Her trying to follow the best ways in mimicking his almost flawless movements in his katas, and she felt relaxed and relieved through the whole process.
'Wow, this does feel good,' she thought as she followed his movements in almost perfectly,' it's really calming my nerves.'
"Meia," she then turns her head to him for bit, as he paused in his movement," do not think of anything, clear your mind of any negative thoughts," he then turned his head a bit to her, as he had his eyes closed to her," this kata not only require subtle breathing and movement, but also no distraction of the mind," he then set his head straight ahead," now let us continue," as she heard this, she nodded and took in his words wisely.
After another hour went by, they both felt they had enough and relaxed near the water stream that was in the garden," you did good Meia, you have some potential for the art," Taiho said as he leaned back on the ground and looked at the stars that were over their heads.
"The art?" she asked as she was confused by the term.
"Yes, the art, or for better words, Martial arts," he then turned his head a bit to her," I could feel you had already had gotten a grasp of the kata we did earlier. A martial artist adapts to any situation, whether it be in combat, or even a simple conversation, a martial artist will adapt and help the situation to become better." (This is just what I think really, but if a true martial artist sees this, but that's just me.)
She then hugs her knees and looks at the stream of water going by with a small smile," thank you the compliment Taiho," she said as she blushed a bit.
"No need for a thanks, I'm just stating the facts," he said as she waved her thanks off. Once a few moments pass, he gets up and pats himself off," well, I think its time we go and get back to work," he then turns to go put his clothes back on," I'll see you in the simulation room."
She too gets up and runs up to his side," why? I didn't hear anything about any simulations, and I'm the one who makes them up," she asks as she lifts an eyebrow to him.
"Well, this was the reason for doing what we did earlier," the Gundam then sees the confused look on her face," well, me and Parfet have made a replica of the ZERO system and had it linked up the customized sim pod that has the same functionality as my cockpit. Hopefully, the replica is just as powerful as the original itself."
"I see, well, I hope you can control it," she then puts her hand on his shoulder," I don't want my second in command to be incapacitated because of some simulation," she then takes her hand off and walks ahead without looking back to him," I'll see you over there."
"Okay," he says as he goes off in the bushes to get his original clothes back on. When he was done, he makes his way over to the sim room. He then passes the Vanguard hangar to see Dita coming out," Dita, what are doing here?"
"Oh, Mr. Angel, you haven't seen Mr. Alien around lately have you?" she asks as she held her self made pillow behind her back.
"No, I haven't," he then looked at the pillow she was holding," were you going to give that to him?" he asked as he pointed at it.
She then got a really cheery look on her," yeah, isn't it cute. I think Mr. Alien would like it."
"I'm sure he will," he said as he went past to go into the hangar," well, I'll see you later Dita," he then waved at her, to which she returned back to him and went back on her search for the short man.
Taiho went in the hangar to see how Hibiki was doing, because he knew that he was in here, he was just hiding from Dita because of she would always, as Hibiki would put it, be annoying when she was around. Just as he was about to call out his name, he hears someone fall down and say something about annoying people.
'Yup, that's him alright,' he thought as he went up the stair and look into Hibiki's Vanguard cockpit. He sees the navy haired short man upside down in it while rubbing his bruised head," have nice fall, Hibiki?" Taiho said as he joked a little.
"Ha ha, you're very funny sensei," he replied as he got out of the cockpit while still rubbing his head injury," man, why does that girl have to be so annoying?" he asked his sensei.
Faking a thoughtful look, he took a few seconds before he spoke," don't know, but I'm guessing she feels something for you to be with you so much," he said as he lied through his teeth.
"Well it's really getting annoying and I don't know how long it's going to be before I snap," Hibiki said as he walked off to put away his tools in his room.
'Sigh, I wonder if I should intervene in this situation. I mean, it really turned real bad for the two during the episode, but in the end, it only made their relationship more stronger,' this time Taiho really started to think,' maybe I can help strengthen it further by giving advice to them both, although I know I'm no expert matchmaker,' he then started to think on other things as well,' well, since I'm trying to hook those two up, I mind as well hookup the other two guys. I don't need to worry about Deuro and Parfet, but Bart is the one who definitely needs help. I mean, he thinks of BC as his first girl, when actually she's a guy. So who should I hook him up with, hmmm,' he then snapped fingers a it hit him on who he should hook the ship's helmsman with,' she should be suitable for him and she is just as hot as any other girl on this ship,' with that, he went back on his way to the sim room, while planning on how to strengthen the bonds of the other males on the ship.
When he got there, he saw Parfet working on fine-tuning the recently made simulation cockpit that resembled the arcade game that was in G Gundam. (The one arcade game that Domon and Alenby fought in when they met for the first time) Along with Parfet were Gascogne, who seemed to be content on wanting to watch what happens, and Meia, who he knew wanted to see if he was going to be okay after using the replica ZERO system.
"Hey girls, how's the simulation cockpit and the replica ZERO system coming along?" he asked as he got all three of their attentions.
"I've just now finished on the system, it's ready anytime you are sub-leader," Parfet said as she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
"It took quite sometime to assemble and connect the parts, you better appreciate what we have both done," Gascogne said as she had her trademark smirk on with the little stick hanging out her mouth.
"You better take it easy on this one, I remember the report I got after last battle and it said you could hardly control the data," Meia said as she got her stoic face on.
"Don't worry Meia," he said as he walked past her and patted on her shoulder as he did," as long as I have something to comeback to, I have nothing to fear," he said with a smile as he went in the simulation cockpit.
When he said that as long as he something to come back to, she started to think on what he meant by that," Meia," she was interrupted from thinking any further as a hand came up on her shoulder. She looked to see Gascogne smirking at her," what has you so out of focus, you seem to thinking about something," her smirk grew wider at that moment," or is it someone?"
Looking away from her with a little blush, she composes herself and speaks," I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just trying to figure out what new formations we should make for our pilots."
'Sure, you say that, but do you honestly believe I'm that blind,' she thought as she looked at her and then to the man who was setting the equipment on his body to train on using the dangerous system,' you two should at least voice your thoughts, but I guess that still a little to soon to do so.'
"Taiho, are you ready?" Parfet asked through the communicator.
"Yeah, I'm good to go," he then settle into a relaxed stance," when I give the signal, activate the system."
"Alright," she said, as she got ready to push the button to start the system.
He then started to go through his kata that he did earlier, while doing all he could to clear his mind of any negative thoughts,' I must flow like water, move as graceful as wind, feel the earth and metal of the ship I'm in, and release the fire that is within my soul,' he thought as he moved slowly and gracefully through the kata with his eyes closed.
Gascogne and Parfet were watching the movements with fascination; they didn't know how such movements could be so…peaceful. It really did interest them on how he felt at the moment, but they were answered as they caught sight of his calm, peaceful face.
"Parfet," Taiho said in a serene tone, which snapped her from her thoughts and waited for him to continue," activate the system now and start the combat simulation."
"Uh, right," she then pressed the button and saw the sim cockpt glow a bright yellow. As she saw that, she downloaded the combat simulation within the cockpit.
When Taiho felt the data going through his mind, he thought of something,' it's weird, it's so much different from when I first activated it, maybe I was right about having to have a serene state of mind first,' he then opened his eyes as the battle simulation started.
As Taiho started to take down the enemies, Parfet, Meia, and Gascogne were watching a video of him in his cockpit to watch his status. They saw him take out enemies left and right with great precision and speed. They found it weird though that he was doing this while his hair seemed to be blocking his view, since he didn't have time to clean up and comb it back up.
"Hey Parfet," the tech geek looked over to Meia to see what she wanted," could you get a close up on his face, there's something that's bothering me," she nodded and started to zoom in on his face. When they got close enough, they gasped at what they saw.
His eyes, they were glowing with a light the emitted like the Paksis, yet they were dulled at the same time. They wondered if this was a side effect of having a piece of the Paksis that was stuck in his right bicep and having the system activated at the same time. (yup, I just now made him get SEED mode)
"I gotta say, those eyes look cool, but kinda creep too," Gascogne commented, to which she received nods from the other two.
Within the simulations, Taiho just finished off a cube Harvester by doing the Erupting Burning Finger technique. Right when he was about to take down more by using his shoulder gatling guns, long range beam rifle, and hand rifle all at once, but then he felt his vision go blurry for at that moment,' what the?! What is this?'
'Ah, I see the Guardian Spirit Dragon of the East is starting awaken within you,' a voice said to him as the scenery in front of his eyes changed.
"Who's there?" he asked as he looked around the scenery around him. It seemed to be forest with high cliffs and waterfalls," hello?" he asked out loud as he looked left and right.
"Where are you looking kid, I'm up here," Taiho then looked up on a cliff near by to see a shadowed figure," right up here," when the sunlight slowly showed who it was, Taiho couldn't believe who he was looking at.
"You're…," he just couldn't speak as he looked at the raven haired man. This man had a red headband, red cloak with a ivory jacket and long green sleeved shirt under it, along with crimson fingerless gloves. He had black pants and brown boots on. He also had a cross shaped scar on his right cheek," Domon Kashu, the King of Hearts," he finally voice.
"I see that you know who I am," he said as he had a smirk on his face. He then hardened his eyes at him," now let's see what kind of martial artist you are," he said as he took off his headband and threw at him.
"Huh?" was all Taiho could say as he caught it, but then dreaded as he started to see the stance he was taking,' he honestly doesn't believe I can do that with him, does he?!' he thought frantically as Domon landed in front of him.
"The school of the Undefeated of the East," he called out as he put his fist out in front of him. Taiho was now getting panicked and did the only thing he could do…go with the flow of it.
He then took the headband and tied it around his head quickly and got in a low stance," the wind's of king," he too called.
"Zenshin," Domon said as he sent a flurry of fast punches at Taiho.
"Keiretsu," Taiho said as he blocked as many punches as he could, but almost half of them got through.
"TEMPAKUIREN," they both called out as they continued with the flying fists. Once that was done, they met with one last punch in a low stance," LOOK, THE EAST BURNING RED," they said at the same time, as it looked like a sea of flames erupted in the background around them.
After a little stare down with their fist locked onto each other, they both slowly backed off," you still need some training, but I can see why the Guardian Spirit Dragon of the East resides within you," Domon said as he turned his back to him and started to walk off.
"Wait, Domon," Taiho called out only to stop as the punches he received from the King of Hearts were now starting kick in.
"We will meet again someday, Taiho Lobo, Guardian Spirit Dragon of the East," Domon said as he disappeared, along with the scenery.
"Taiho, you okay in there? HEY," a voice called out to him. Taiho looked up to see the worried looks of Gascogne, Parfet and Meia," are you okay?" Meia asked one more time.
"Uh, yeah," he then looked down a bit," I'm…I'm just fine," he then started to think back on what happened,' what was that just now? Was it dream, a hallucination caused by the ZERO system, or was it a vision of some sort,' he then caught sight of the red cloth in his right hand,' huh?' he then was shocked to see what it was,' now this is just getting too weird, how the hell do I have Domon's headband with me?' he just sighed bit, as it felt he was just going to get a headache if he kept asking himself these questions. He then pocketed the headband in his pocket.
'His eyes are back to normal, but what is it that is bothering him now,' Meia thought as she looked at him through the vid screen,' he took down the enemies in the simulation with no problems, but during the last part of it, it seemed as if he wasn't even thinking about them as simulations enemies, but as actual enemies,' she thought as she remembered the last parts of it.
"Come on Taiho, now that you're done, we need to start thinking about making formations for our pilots," Meia said as she spoke through the communicator.
"Uh, yeah, sure, I'll be on my way," he replied back as he started to get out of the simulation cockpit.
"Looks like the test was a success then, I guess we don't have to worry about him and the ZERO system as long as he keeps up his training," Parfet said to Gascogne.
"Yeah, let's just hope that he keeps up the good work," said as she walked out and started her way back to 'Reg Central'.
"Are you okay," Meia asks as they both walked alongside each other down the hall, on the way to where they could make the formations in privacy.
"Yeah, it's just the mental stress getting to me," he then got a big smile on his face," don't worry, as long as I keep up my training, I'll be able to master the ZERO system in no time flat."
"Getting cocky are we?" she asked with a bit a humor in her voice.
He just shrugs with a smirk on his face," no need to be when I know I can master it, but let's get going, we got some brainstorming to do," he said as they both got into the room to start thinking up of some formations for the pilots.
A few minutes pass when all of a sudden the door opens. They both look over to see who it was and saw it was Dita, with a sad look on her face," DITA?" they both asked in unison.
"Oh, hi Mr. Angel, Meia," she greeted them in a sad tone.
"Looks like something is wrong," he whispered to Meia," and I think it has something to do with Hibiki," she then turned her head to him to see what he meant, but he just got up to leave," you deal with her while I see what it is that might've upset her."
"Right," Meia replied, as she knew he was right about the situation, plus she felt she might need some privacy with her subordinate.
As Meia listened to how Hibiki treated her earlier, Meia didn't know how to react as she too was new to reacting around men,"…and then he said I was in his way and told me to get out of his room. I mean I was only trying to make Mr. Alien happy, but all I do is make him mad."
Finally getting the chance to speak up, she voiced what she thought," Dita, I'm…not so good with words and I don't know if I should encourage your curiosity," she said as she started to remember back when she was injured, when Taiho was in her mind as they both started their bond there and almost kissed,' even I don't know if I should continue what I'm trying to do,' she thought to herself," but…"
"But what?" she asked.
"I don't believe it is right to force yourself into someone else's heart," she answered truthfully.
"I guess…that's true," she said sadly, she then got up to let off some steam in the garden.
With Taiho, he found the short guy discarding the decoration Dita made to his room," what seems to be the problem?" Taiho asked as he saw Hibiki throw out an alien decorated wind chimer.
"That dumb girl decided to decorate my room without my permission, I swear it gets annoying when does things like this," he said as he dusted off his hands.
"You know, it could be that she's just doing her best to be nice to you," Taiho said in a bored tone.
"Well, it's getting annoying," he said stubbornly.
"I swear man, you need to lighten up," he said as he turned his back to him and go back to Meia," you know, you might try to understand how she feels. Right now, she feels like dirt because you threw her out and said she was in the way."
"What?" He asked in a little bit of surprise,' all I did was kick her out and say that she was in the way of me taking out the stuff she put in…,' the realization dawned him that he was being a little cruel to the bubbly red-head.
"Yeah, If I were you, I'd try to make it up a little to her," they both then hear an announcement to get to a strategy meeting," well, it looks like we'll need to put those affairs on hold, we need to get to that meeting," he then walked out with a little saddened Hibiki right behind him.
"Sorry we're late, Meia," Taiho said in a chipper voice as he entered the room with Hibiki.
"No need for apologies, just don't let it happen again," she replied as she got a nod from the both of them. Hibiki went over to one of the back seats and sat down, as he tried to think of a way to say sorry to Dita.
"Where's Dita?" Jura asked the two of them.
"She'll be along shortly, we just need to be a bit patient," Taiho answers as he stood by Meia's side.
Not a moment later, Dita came in the room with a sad look on her face," I'm sorry I'm so late," she said to them. She then went over to one of the front seats, furthest from Hibiki.
'Did I really hurt her feelings that bad?' Hibiki thought as he felt sad himself for being responsible.
Taking a silent breath, Meia gets a serious face on," alright, everyone is here now. I will now explain the simulation we'll be running today. We'll be using the formation we get when Taiho and Barnette combine to make the Gundam Epyon, and the formation we get when Dita combines with…," but she was cut off by a soft voice.
"Forget it," Dita said, as everyone turned their attention to her," forget that, because I won't be combining with him anymore."
Everyone, except Taiho, is shocked by this, especially Hibiki,' she can't be that hurt, can she?' Hibiki thought as he looked at her.
"Aha, now I get it," Jura said in a playful voice and started to wag her index finger," you've started to get bored with Mr. Alien, haven't you?"
Dita just shook her head at the question," I realize, that Mr. Alien isn't happy with me. So, from now on," she then turned her head to the blond," you can combine with him Jura," which make Jura get a weird look on her face, while Hibiki was starting to get a little panicked about the situation.
"Dita," Meia voice barked out in a command, which gets the red-head's attention," I will now tolerate the mixing of private matters in this room. This is not a game we're playing," she said in calm, but commanding voice.
"I'm…I'm sorry," she said as she looked down to the floor.
They all then go out to get their pilot training done. Once out there, Taiho could tell the two were in a sad mood. Once they started to sound off, it was clear the Dita was the most depressed, seeing as how Meia had to call out her name a few time to get her attention.
Once it was done, everyone went to get some lunch. Once he gets to the mess hall, he sees Jura conspiring to use the situation to her advantage,' I know this is hardly the time, but I guess it's as good as time as any,' he thought as he sneaked behind Barnette, so the two don't know he's coming.
"Hey, think this is my big chance?" he heard her say to Barnette, which made the best friend go at a loss for words for a bit.
She was about to laugh maniacally until a voice a interrupted her," chance for what?" Taiho asked as they both jumped from where he was standing," you're not trying to conspire against my student are you?" he asked with a little smirk.
"No, nothing like that, hmmm, have thought about us combining dear?" she asked in a sexy voice.
"Not really," he said truthfully," but if you want to combine with my student's machine, why don't you talk to Bart?"
"Bart?" Jura and Barnette asked in confusion.
"Yeah, him and Hibiki are good friends, if you get in good with him, I'm sure Hibiki will start to trust you enough that he'll want to combine with you," he said with a sly smile on his face.
Once the info got in her head, she got a big smile on her face," I think I'm going to have a little chat with someone," she said as she laughed and went off to talk to a certain blond male.
"You did that just to get her off yours and Hibiki's case, didn't you?" Barnette asked with tired look on her face.
"Eh, at least it served its purpose," Taiho then cocked his head to the side," you're not going to catch up with her?"
"Naw, she's digging her own grave on this one," she said calmly to her sub-leader.
'Well, that's surprising. I would think she would go with her without any hesitation,' he felt he should worry about this, but shrugged,' whatever will be, will be,' he thought as he got a plate of food," wanna join me along with Meia to eat?"
"Sure, I could at least use some company after this," she answered with a smile.
Once they both got to the table, they were greeted by Meia and Dita," hello there Taiho, Barnette," Meia greeted as Dita just nodded to them.
"Hey, mind if we take a seat here?" Barnette asked, to which she got an answer as they shook their heads to them. Taiho sat beside Meia, while Barnette sat beside Dita.
Once some moments pass, Meia notices something, along with both Taiho and Barnette," aren't you going to eat?" Meia asked as she took a quick glance at the untouched food in front of the redhead.
"I've decided I'm going to change myself, because I know it's bad with the way I am now," she then caught a glimpse at the corner of her eye and caught Hibiki looking at her, but he just went back to eating quickly as if nothing happened.
'If I remember correctly, this is where things turn ugly,' Taiho thought as he started to remember the how the episode went,' should I let it happen, or should I say something that may strengthen their bond?' he then took on last look at the two," well, I'm done, I need to go and get something done," he then got up and started to walk towards the door," see you girls later," he said over his shoulder as he went to go talk to Hibiki.
"You're lonely aren't you?" Taiho heard as he started get near Hibiki's room, he assumed it was Pyoro who was talking about Hibiki's and Dita's relationship.
Hibiki made a little flinch, but was about to chew off the little robot's head for thinking such a thing until he saw a shadow being cast into the room. He looked to see it was Taiho," oh, hi sensei."
"Hey, how's it going?" he asked in a casual tone.
"Just fine," he answered, but anyone could feel the depression in his voice.
Taiho just made a big heavy sigh," you're worried about Dita, aren't you?"
Getting a bit of a blush in his face, he yells out to his sensei," what the hell are you talking about? Why would I be worried about that annoying woman?"
"Look Hibiki, you know that I come from a planet made of both men and women, I've seen the kind of look between people who are close to another person, the ones who felt hurt because of what they did or said," unbeknownst to the both of them, Dita was listening in on the conversation.
"What you do you mean?" the short man asked, in a mix of depression, confusion, and anger.
"I mean that you should at least try to talk to her about what is bothering her. If this continues, it is likely we'll all be killed because you two couldn't resolve your feeling for each other, and don't deny that you don't feel at least little something for her," Taiho said as he turned his back to walk out the door. Dita quickly got out of there before he walked out the door, who left a short man who was thinking on what to do.
Taiho started to walk around the ship, wondering just what he should do now. When he goes around the corner, he sees both Jura and Bart deep in conversation.
"I just wish one of those two would combine with to make something elegant, is that so much to ask?" Jura asked as she rearranged her hair a bit as they both walk alongside each other.
"Not really, but from what I've seen, you come on too hard, which makes them back off from your offers," Bart answered as he felt good talking like this to another women, without the worries of being killed by them of course.
"So your saying that I should lighten up, but they won't give in unless I keep it up," she said as she looked at him with a stern face.
"I'm not saying to give up, I'm just saying…" that little conversation went on as they both turned around a corner.
'Well, I guess those two are off to a good start,' he felt a little accomplishment with himself for being able to direct a man to be staying straight as an arrow,' maybe after all this is done, they may already be with each other by then,' he thought as he continued to walk on.
As he started to walk around, he came upon the garden,' well, a little workout wouldn't be too bad right now…huh?' he was about to start himself on one of his katas, but then he heard something near by," come on out Meia."
"You always seem to know I'm here, how is that?" she asked as she came into, with a very confused look on her face.
"Just a feeling, I'm sure you know what it is," he said as he looked straight into her eye, not caring that she was blushing with him staring at her with warm eyes.
"Umm, Taiho, about that time when I was injured, I just want to say…" but she was cut off as BC called out for all the pilots to go into combat. They both look at each other and nodded as they went to the hangar.
Once everyone got outside, they saw a battalion of Harvester ships and enemies," well, it looks like we'll be having some fun for while, huh?" Taiho said with a bit of sarcasm.
"Indeed," she replied with an equal amount of sarcasm. But they both hear a conversation over the communicator that caught their attention.
"Hey, annoying girl," Hibiki called out through vid screen that popped up in Dita's cockpit," let me just tell one thing right now, I'm…I'm…"
Seeing the flushed on look on his face, she couldn't help but think it look cute on him," what, what is it?" she asked as she too got a blush on her face.
"I'm sorry, just keep on being the person you are, okay?" he said in strained voice,' that was really hard sensei, you know that?' but he felt something that calmed him down,' but it's weird, I feel like a whole lot of weight is off my shoulders, maybe she isn't so bad after all.'
Being overjoyed at his apology and question, she nodded and with a happy look on her face," sure," she answered cheerfully.
"Well, now that situation is settle," Hibiki said as she grinned and turned back to the enemy," LET'S GO," he called out as both him and Dita combine their mech to make Vandread Dita and blast off towards the enemy.
"Things may turn out for the better after all for those two, right Meia?" Taiho asked as he watched the two of them fight the enemy with renewed happiness.
"Yeah," she answered him,' I wonder how it would feel like to be around someone you cherish like that?' she thought, but was answered as she remembered on how she almost kissed Taiho in her mindscape,' I guess that answers my question.'
Taiho though, was now thinking back on the day's events and one particular future event,' why did I have a vision of Domon from G Gundam? Is the Paksis trying to get me prepared? If so, what for?' he knew he wouldn't get answers to these questions and settled on the one event that he knew would happen,' I guess it's time I prepare for Rabat's appearance…just wait old man, you'll see that Hibiki is different from before, of that you can count on.'
A/N: well, that's CH.6 for ya guys. I just want to let you guys know that reason I chose to put Domon from G Gundam on here is because he's a martial artist, as Taiho is a martial artist as well. What I mean is that Taiho can only get stronger with his help, on how he'll get that help, you'll just have to see. As for the Guardian Spirit, well, that too will be surprise. If you need to know anything else, post it on the reviews, ja ne.
