At five AM, Robert and his family were woken by the shrill screams of "GUNDAM!'' Robert went outside for a look. There stood Duo and his Gundam. Duo said,
"Well, you think I'm going to die that easily? You can die before me if you want! Kaoi Ken!'' He let out the energy ball and it hit Robert before he was able to respond. The next thing Robert knew was he was on the ground. He quickly got up and they began to fight. After Robert hit Duo really hard, Duo became super-sai-jinn 4. Duo said,
"This is a battle of life and death, Robert!'' A large crowd appeared. Everyone cheered for Robert, but some scoffed and said they hoped neither would win. Robert realized that Duo's powers were decreasing, but his own powers were decreasing faster. Finally he figured his powers were so low he decided he would put his remaining power into his most powerful attack of all – the Kamehameha wave. But then he decided Duo would somehow outsmart his attack. He muttered so low it could barely be heard but it was heard –
"I give,'' Duo flipped back into his Gundam and began destroying Oz members once again. Robert could only think of one thing:
That boy is probably the strongest person in the world. When he returned to his apartment, he saw a note near his bed:
I'm only trying to free the earth and you stand in my way.
Robert guessed this was Duo's way of saying "sorry but you are still a threat'', but he didn't care. He got a phone call from Kevin, who said,
"Sorry to hear about the lost of the fight.'' Robert didn't think Kevin really cared. He hung up. As days went by he became depressed because he had given up, threatened Duo's life, and so on. And finally he just committed suicide. There he was transported to Heaven. He saw many houses on Snake Way. He couldn't believe all the saiyans here were dead. He stalked on the road. There were even saiyan children. He couldn't believe it. None were elderly. And when Robert saw Matt – he looked so young Robert barely could recognize him. But he was in bad luck – Matt had all the dragonballs on Heaven and asked if his wish – his life restored but starting out as a baby on earth. The dragon said yes and Matt disappeared. The dragon said,
"There is one wish left,'' and Robert took it.
"I wish for restored life on earth, but I wish to be 20 years old, but not losing my memory.'' Robert found himself on earth. He was standing next to Matt, who was now only a baby in a basket with a simple blanket. Robert began walking away when a lady around twenty with a friend stopped at the basket. The woman said,
"Oh, what a sweet infant. It has seemed to be abandoned. I will certainly care for this child.'' She picked up the basket and walked on. Robert could only smirk. The woman did not know "the sweet infant'' had a tail. Robert decided the woman could find that out herself.
Five years later, Robert stopped by with his five-year-old girl Christine. She pointed out,
"There's a boy over there who's flying. I'm good at flying too, aren't I, Daddy? Can I have a competion?'' Robert nodded. Christine ran over and flew up. She said,
"Hi. My name's Christine. What is your name? Want to have a flying competion?'' The boy answered,
"Hola. My name is Christian. Sure, I'll have a competion. After that, want to have fight?'' Robert recognized Christian as Matt. The flight began. Christian won by 5 seconds.
"You're pretty good for a girl. Really, I haven't met a girl saiyan before.''
Christine said,
"Thanks. Let's go.'' Yet again did Christian win. Christine was not a sore loser though. Christian said,
"Sorry, Christine, but I have to go home. Later.'' He began to walk down the path to his home when Christine yelled,
"Where do you live?''
He answered,
"Fire Lane, number 6. My phone number is 114-099-398. Thanks again. Adios!'' On Christine and Robert's way home, Robert asked Christine how she liked Christian. Christine said,
"I like him a lot. He's really nice. He acts as if I'm equal, not a dopey girl.'' The next evening Robert decided to meet Christian's adoptive mother. He walked with Christine to Christian's home. His home was quite a beauty. Christian had a friend over and they were playing on the play set. Robert rang the door. A young woman answered the door. She was beautiful. Robert was dazzled. He remembered Christine's mother and his wife was dead. The young woman said,
"Hello. You must be the father of the girl named Christine my son played with yesterday. I'm Iris. It is nice to meet you.'' Robert said,
"Hello. I'm Robert, the father of my little daughter, that's right. My daughter Christine has talked about your son a lot, so I thought I mine as well meet you.'' Iris showed Robert around while Christine played with Christian and his friend Diego. Diego left twenty minutes after Christine came. After two hours at Christian's house, Iris said it was time Christian had a bath and go to bed. Robert thought, Wow, she has really taken control over Christian. Maybe I should be that way with Christine too. So he gave Christine a bath then put her to bed. Christine woke up in the morning and yawned. She remembered today was first day of school. She put on her school dress and ate cereal and waited for the bus. She memorized her teacher, Mrs. Jimill. She memorized it over and over until the bus stopped at her new school, Night School. It was named that because it was a boarding school. She looked at everyone there. She saw Christian, and he saw her, but she was surprised when he didn't say hello. She felt downcast when she saw him with a bunch of boys. But a girl tapped her and said,
"I'm Daisy. I'm in Mrs. Jimill's class.'' They talked with each other until the bell rang and the teachers showed them their rooms for that year. Christine found it enjoying sleeping with other girls her age. She was most fascinated to learn to read and write. She was completely content, except for her saiyan tail. She wondered if anyone would call her a monkey. She hoped not. She was disappointed when she heard that she was not in Christian's class. But she enjoyed school anyway. She enjoyed writing letters to home when she learned to write. The kindergarten class flew through time and soon enough it was the last day of school, the only day you could wear what you pleased. Everyone was saying good-bye to friends and smirking at their rivals and enemies. Christian was wearing his saiyan suit. He was shaking hands with his best friends – Aaron, Gerry, Zack, Samuel and Kenji 4. Christine was so excited to see Robert she could hardly wait. The buses were loaded and the last good-byes were said and the buses zipped off. Christine said,
"Psst, Christian!'' When he took no notice, Christine got the idea. Christian did not want his friends seeing he had a friend that was a girl. So she happily waited. But when she arrived home, she was filled with unhappy news. Robert was going to marry a woman named Ramonda and they were going to move from Japan to China, near the sea. Christine was so sad she could only pound her fists. It isn't fair, Christine thought, that I get a friend and I have to move. She continued her tantrum on the couch and pounding her fists. She emerged from the guest room puffy and red-eyed. She was so tired at dinner she fell asleep without taking her bath. She slept into the beginning of the afternoon – 12:00 PM. She rubbed her eyes and dressed out her nightgown into play clothes. She had forgotten about the other day, so she played happily in the park. She met up with her best friends, Beatrice, Vicky, Alexandra and Usagi. They just decided to pick flowers and Christine was walking with her friends when she ran into Christian and his best friends, going to the arcade. They both turned super-jin and Christine noticed if she fought, she would be wiped out, since her power level was 50 and Christian's was 500. She fought anyway, but Christian easily won. Christine's friends, unimpressed, wandered away. Christine felt alone. She ran to her room in her own house and cried. Finally she heard a knock on the door.
She managed to release a sobering "enter'' and Robert entered.
"Christine, we're going to have to talk. You have seemed very unhappy lately and I don't know why. Could you tell me what it depressing you so?'' Christine sobbed a bit more and blobbered out everything. Then she said, bitterly,
"And Christian acts like I'm a dopey girl! I'm going to wipe him out! He won't think I'm stupid anymore! I'm going to get him back hard!'' She began to cry once again.
Robert said comfortingly,
"Christine, you must understand this. Christian might like you very much but he may feel if he lets his friends know he has you as a friend, they won't like him anymore. Getting revenge on him won't do anything sometimes. And this is a time where revenge won't help. I know, Christine, because I've had children before.'' Christine's face brightened.
"Really?''
"Yes. Before you I was married to a woman named Danielle. We had a little girl named Rain. When she was eight, we found a little boy named Duo orphaned and near to death on the streets. We raised him and five years ago I found out he was a Gundam. I began to hear so much about Gundams I told the police if they caught Duo, kill him right away. Duo wasn't willing to die that easily, so he appeared and we fought. Even though he was many years younger than me and he was fifteen at the time, he appeared to be stronger than I. I realized that and I gave up. He left in his Gundam and I haven't seen him since. I can tell by your face you want to see him. Unfortunately, we'll have to track him down tomorrow because it is time for bed. I will show you his album, since in that family there was an album of every child I had.'' He took out an album that was black. There was a nice cursive writing Duo on the front. He opened it and flipped onto the page 5. There, were all the pictures of when he was five. Christine looked through all of them. She said,
"Dad, can I see Duo?'' She didn't understand he was almost 20 years old.
"Christine, I have no idea where he is. He left me many years ago. I told we could search him down tomorrow. You must remember, Christian was adopted and he's having a very rough time. You mustn't irritate him.'' The next day they searched for him and they got a close-up on the computer. He was typing and his Gundam was lying down on a platform. Christine marveled at him.
"How old is he?'' she asked.
"He's nineteen turning twenty soon.'' Christine liked how Duo was untroubled and carefree. She decided to find him.
