Ok , so , September 26th , Ad Stella 122. My Mama gave me this notepad so I can journalize my days in School. I wasn't expecting to even open it as I came here in hope of a calm school life. Unfortunately or fortunately (Depend how you look at it). I got bruised , I reignited my fire for duelling and fighting. And the whole finale of this entire string of events was that I got engaged , that's right , ENGAGED , and since I'm writing this in capital letters you can see that is a big deal. I know that normally people need to meet each other , spend some time together. And then get married. And all because some guy trashed an amazing proof of how harvesting plants In colonies went a long way to perfection , as I'm writing this I don't know what will happen to me and my second Groom. But the one thing I'm expecting is that it won't end in either mine or Suletta's favour. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. I have to call home and inform my Mothers , I don't know what their reaction will be , I'm not expecting the best reactions-Akatsuki Augus's private Journal-Ad Stella 122
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM : DEMON INCARNATE
CHAPTER 2 : THE FIRST (REAL) DAY AND A CURSED MOBILE SUIT
"Oho ho ! I wasn't expecting that ! Marsboy and the new girl came out victorious"-Secelia said as she looked at the rewind of the last duel on her notebook
"Rouji ! Try to find the individual Parmet code. Same for the other machine"-Shaddiq said as the entire school stopped for a bit to process what happened. Their ace and Holder was defeated by a Country boy from Mars and a Girl from Mercury , who was a novice
"Right , Haro !"-Rouji asked his individual unit to find any information on the both units that was displayed on the main monitor alongside the stream from the battleground
"We don't have the Individual Parmet code for either of them , there seems to be only one thing uniting them , Shin Sei. The only scraps of information Haro was able to find out was about the Aerial , and that being a similarity to another old mobile suit"-Rouji pointed out as Shaddiq knew exactly what he had in mind
"Ochs Earth ?"-Shaddiq asked as Rouji looked at him
"That's impossible , or is the Aerial-"-Rouji was cutted off by Shaddiq
"If that suit is a Witches suit , we cannot just leave that"-Shaddiq said as there was another problem
"What about Marsboy ? It seems pretty obvious that the old Gundam frame possessed the same technology as the Witch suit ?"-Secelia asked Shaddiq turned towards her
"The Barbatos AA is protected by the law settled by the Schism act 13 years ago , Mobile Suits built there are not under the Development council's jurisdiction , we can't do anything about it and neither can the Benerit group"- Shaddiq told her as she sat on the couch
"Makes sense , since Marsboy is a small celebrity here and semi big shots back home an info about a duel being annulled because of the technology a chain reaction could cause major consequences. We'll just have to wait and see"-Secelia said
"Right now we don't have to deal with that , I have to contact TSC and front safety corps for them to seize the suit"-Shaddiq said as the right phone call was made
"So what now ? Should we prepare a wedding or something ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta hid her face in her hands
"Just like my bastard father decided , I have to marry the one carrying the Holder title , no matter if there is two of them"-Miorine said as Suletta looked at Akatsuki
"B-b-but"-Sulleta was quickly cut off by Miorine
"Don't worry , I don't plan to marry anyone of you , I only want , to go to earth"-Miorine said just as the hologram sky disappeared and an alert sound begun to pierce the trio's ears as five mobile suits appeared , two modified Demi-Trainers and two Hekija Kai's one of them being in Ride's custom colours , Akatsuki's helmet radio begun to spit out some words
"Uncle Ride ?"-Akatsuki asked as Miorine quickly grabbed the helmet
"What do you think you are doing ?! You are responsible for protecting the outside of the school not the inside !"-Miorine screamed as Ride felt the sound blasting through
"Wait ? Aren't you Akatsuki's new Fiancée ? First it's nice to meet you , second ask them , we're just doing what are getting paid for"-Ride said as Miorine handed back the Helmet back to Akatsuki
"This duel is immediately suspended ! I repeat ! This duel is immediately suspended !"-One of the Demi trainers said pointing a Machine gun at them
"TSC and Front Safety Corps working together ?"-Miorine asked as one the Demi-trainers begun to speak
"Student under number LP041 , Suletta Mercury , You are and your Mobile Suit are under arrest under charges of using a Gundam"-The Demi Trainer said as Akatsuki used this as an occasion to peek inside Aerial's cockpit , and much to his shock realised it was exactly the same as Barbatos's
"G-Gundam ? You're wrong ! Her name is Aerial !"-Suletta said as Akatsuki continued to look
"Incredible power , outstanding performance , a weird aura around it , leagues above others. I'm sorry Suletta but it checks out every requirement for a Gundam , not to mention it was built by the same people who rebuilt Barbatos"-Akatsuki said as Suletta looked at him
"Put down your weapons ! You are responsible for safety on the front ! TSC is responsible for the School !"-Miorine said
"The rules set by the CEO and the signed documents have a priority"-The Demi trainer replied to them
"C-CEO ?"-Suletta asked as Miorine blood begun to boil
"That old man"-Miorine said as her voice with spitting with anger and venom spitting out of her mouth
"Student under code LP077 You are to evacuate the CEO's daughter immediately"-The Demi trainer said as the voice of Ride in Akatsuki's helmet
"Student or not you are still a member of TSC , just get her back to our hangar"-Ride said as Akatsuki nodded and then looked at Suletta and put one hand on her shoulder
"Don't worry , we'll come up with something , Barbatos ?"-Akatsuki gave out the sound command as the zipline from the upper side of the hatch dropped down to his hand as Miorine walked up to it and grabbed the second hilt of the zip line . Akatsuki put on his helmet as they rode upwards inside Barbatos's cockpit. As they rode up, Akatsuki looked at Suletta and Aerial being escorted out of the Area. As the zipline finished Akatsuki helped Miorine get inside , and much to her surprise she also noticed the similarities with the Aerial , but also she looked at Akatsuki connecting with Barbatos.
"Where is the cable ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki restarted the reactor
"What ?"-Akatsuki asked confused as the hatch closed
"The Alaya-Vijnana connection cable . The first 72 Gundams all had them to maximise their performance"-Miorine said as Akatsuki chuckled
"It was ripped off almost 20 years ago , my father piloted what was once the Barbatos Lupus Rex. Somehow he managed to push through without arms to defeat the last Gjallarhorn commander , the pilot survived but no one ever heard from her again and their forces crumbled. The Alaya Vinjana crippled him , first his eye and arm , and then the entire right side of his body. Luckily GUND managed to get him back on his feet. I will never agree to take the procedure. But as everyone knows even without AV Barbatos can kick asses"-Akatsuki said as he made his way to the transporter
"It looks-"
"Yeah , It looks exactly like Aerial , and since it was built by the same company I'm sure there is more to it than just parts and ideas being recycled. It seems that there is more to it than meets the eye , it seems that Suletta denies her Mobile Suit's purpose"-Akatsuki said as Miorine cringed at the last sentence
"Really ? That's the dumbest text I've ever heard"-Miorine said as Akatsuki shrugged
"How did you know ? I recorded that when I was 15 for an arcade game. Because for some reason everyone needed to say a dumb 1-liner when in reality no-one talks inside the cockpit"-Akatsuki said as they reached the transporter while Miorine looked unconvinced
"What about "Show me a good time supposed best of the best" ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki visibly cringed
"Probably my emotions , I never say stuff like that. Only when i'm angry , or surprised , or happy. But that's not important right now , what do we do about Suletta ? "-Akatsuki asked as Miorine turned away from him
"Nothing , we accomplished what we wanted. Guel lost the Holder title , and while you can bath in awes and congratulations and having your little self-doubt about your future problem solved I can focus on my task , going to Earth"-Miorine said as Akatskuki looked at her at first with confusement , and then with anger as he took off his helmet
"Do you really expect me to simply give up on her ?! We literally gave our Mobile Suits and ability to pursue education for your sake. And you sacrifice her for your own ends ?! I guess all of your rich spacians are all the same"-Akatsuki said as Miorine looked at him
And then slapped him
"You think that it's so easy do you ?! Everyone has a loving family and support of thousands of people ?! You at least were given a choice ! You didn't have to quit something you loved because your father told you ?! You didn't have to not attend the funeral of someone you cared about because your father told you couldn't ? You weren't not able to choose your school or your fiancée ?! Besides, why do you care so much about someone you only knew for less than a day ? Hell , for less than 10 hours"-Miorine exclaimed as Akatsuki wiped his cheek
"Because it's something that friends do , have you ever had a friend ? My only friends were only the ones hanging around TSC and i've always felt alienated from other kids , that's why I cherish my friendship with Suletta , cause its probably the first time i made friends with a kid not connected with TSC in some way , not to mention that aside from Barbatos and maybe Ride i'm completely alone here"-Akatsuki said as Miorine took off her piloting suit to reveal her school uniform
"What's with you and Suletta's weird relationship with your Mobile Suits ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki while still angry about the slap felt that continuing that topic would not be the smartest thing to do
"Why do I care so much about Barbatos aside from carrying me to victory ? Maybe it's because I wouldn't exist without it , I was conceived through its AV cord. It feels like we are truly connected , or if we were one being"-Akatsuki said as they were reaching the TSC hangar
"Ok , I get it. I would say thank you for the lift but you were obligated to do it , but at least it weren't the front safety corps"-Miorine said as she folded the piloting suit she had and put it under her arm just as the transporter stopped
"Oh , and just think about what to do with Suletta , it's the least we can do for her to save it up for her troubles"-Akatsuki said as he opened the hatch , and heard only a silent "mhm" from Miorine who walked passed puzzled Mikazuki.
"Hey dad"-Akatsuki said as he walked out of the cockpit while Mikazuki was ogling Akatsuki Holder pilot suit
"Nice suit"-Mikazuki said sarcastically while Akatsuki's face showed that he wanted to be 8 metres underground
"I guess you've seen what happened right ?"-Akatsuki said as he took off the upper part of the suit leaving him only in a T-shirt underneath it
"So , should I prepare the wedding ceremony back home ?"-Mikazuki asked as Akatsuki now wanted to be buried 18 metres underground
"Haha , really funny"-Akatsuki said sarcarstically as they began to walk towards his quarters
"That girl I passed just a second ago was your fiance right ? Doesn't seem like a woman you would want to spend your life with does she ?"-MIkazuki asked as Akatsuki pondered a bit before giving a definite anwser
"It's a tricky question , for one I can see that she has some problems. At least that's what I heard from her. But she isn't that bad. Since now it seems that me alongside Suletta are obligated to marry her , I'll have do my best in the situation im in , just like you teached me , observe , adapt and overcome"-Akatsuki said as Mikazuki smiled
"That's my boy"-Mikazuki said as they reached Akatsuki's quarters
"I think i should call Moms"-Akatsuki said as he walked inside
"And it seems that you have a lot of explanation to do , especially since i already told your mother about it"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki turned towards his father
"WHAT ?!"-Akatsuki asked as Mikazuki shrugged
"I had to , since you didn't call her like she asked, she called me for a full report of the school day. That was 10 minutes ago"-Mikazuki nonchalantly replied as Akatsuki now wanted to be 800 metres underground
"What reaction should I be expecting from her ?"-Akatsuki asked as Mikazuki unfolded his arms
"Only way to find out is to call her , the only thing that i can say i that she was surprised"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki only sighed
"I'm gonna take a shower and prepare for tomorrow"-Akatsuki said as Mikazuki nodded and closed the door. Akatsuki took a look across the bags and focused himself on another task. And that was quickly unpacked. After he quickly dealt with the close he reached a long narrow box , as he opened it it revealed his two swords , a katana and a tachi that he used for training and his swordsmanship hobby. 'Yeah sorry , not today'-he thought as he put the swords back in the box before he returned to unpacking his equipment. As he finished he then looked at the phone that was laying on the bed. He swallowed air and found his mother's number , after few short beeps a voice on the other side was heard
"Akatsuki"-Atra Mixta said in a calm manner that caused Akatsuki's skin to shiver
"Hey mom , i guess dad told you about what just happened"-Akatsuki said as on the other side of the phone Atrra was focusing on making dinner
"You broke your promise of keeping low , you were fighting a duel with someone , over a greenhouse. And in return you and another poor girl that got arrested got stuck in a arranged marriage"-Atrra quickly abridged the day as Akatsuki felt an entire river of sweat coming down from his forehead
"I did that because I felt it was right , and it was right. You told me numerous times that a man has to defend the woman , and I've done just that. Also I got my first real fight in two years and absolutely loved it. And you know what ? I loved it. I love to duel and there is nothing to stop me from it. For the last two years I laid low because I wanted to make you all happy , but you know ? Screw it ! I get that it's all a part of a bigger collective to make my life safer but I want to be happy too ! I love duelling ! I love piloting ! I love to fight ! It's in my DNA after all ! And when I finish school I want to come back to being a pro !"-Akatsuki lashed out as Atrra finished making dinner and made her way with the phone to Akatsuki's room , as she opened it the door revealed a clean white room with a bed on the left and a trophy cabinet on the right with a desk standing in front of the only window in the room with Mobile Suit model kits hanging on the ceiling and sitting on the desk posed in various battle poses and recreating numerous battle sequences from history and the tournaments young Akatsuki watched on the TV. The left wall was dedicated to Akatsuki's second hobby , as it featured the rack holding Akatsuki's swords , most notably displayed being the collaboration katana Akatsuki got for adveritising a katana store made in Barbatos's colors with the drawer beneath the rack holding the cleaning equipment and his training clothes. Atrra sat on his bed sighing as she remembered that she was supposed to clean the swords while he was gone , the bed also gave her a place from where she had a look on numerous achievements that her son accomplished in the sport. In the middle of it stood his most prized possetion , the M/J Grand Prix Galaxia trophy. With it being assigned to the youngest winner in history
"You could've told us"-Atrra said as Akatsuki looked confused on the other side of the phone
"What ?"-Akatsuki asked as he took off his piloting suit and sat on his bed
"You could've just told us. You only had to walk towards us and tell us that you love what you do. We only wanted you to be safe , you didn't have to hold everything inside you for the last two years. I only wanted you to be happy , tell me straight. You weren't happy when you made your promise, did you ?"-Atrra asked Akatsuki was now looking for an answer
"I wasn't , I only said it because I wanted you and Mama to be happy , nothing more and nothing less"-Akatsuki said as Atrra touched the domed AA model kit sitting inside the cabinet
"You know that a mother's job is to make their child happy , and you shouldn't be putting our feelings over yours , even if I don't condone piloting as much as your father. I've seen numerous examples of you being happy about it. We were just worried about your health , not only the physical one but also psychological. Since you will be an adult in a few months we can tell you , we were worried about you developing a taste for blood"-Atrra said as Akatsuki was surprised again
"A taste for blood ?"-Akatsuki asked as Atrra looked unpleasant talking about it
"I know It sounds weird , but looking at your father's background we were feeling that you could've become someone you are not and never meant for"-Atrra said as Akatsuki was being flabbergasted with all the shock he was getting though his head
"Mom , I was , correction i am a sportsman. Give me one proof I would become a politician-murdering child soldier ?"-Akatsuki asked as Atrra touched one of the model kits
"You were becoming more brutal"-Atrra replied as Akatsuki released an "Eh ?" sound
"What ? If you mean the fight with Stellaris I didn't have choice , I had to finish it quickly"-Akatsuki said as Atrra didn't look convinced
"You could've used the beam rifle , or those GUND-bits . Come up with some strategy , but you looked like you wanted to pierce that Katana though the cockpit"-Atrra said as Akatsuki was running out of arguments 'I could've done that , instead I wanted a more exciting fight'-He thought
"I had to rely on the shock , if I didn't had that element Stellaris would've seen me coming"-Akatsuki said as Atrra looked at the Jogaila and another AA kit standing on top of Akatsuki's pc case recreating the manoeuvre he performed with the Katana.
"You were using the same tactics as your father did inside the Barbatos , you wanted them afraid"-Atrra said
"But I didn't want to kill him ! I wanted to finish this quickly and go home ! Not to mention the advantage he had with the ranged weapon and ability to see though his Bit-slaves"-Akatsuki said
"I could see that , but I've also seen that pure rage though the Barbatos's movements. That's why me and Mama got afraid , you are not a murderous sociopath but an honour and respect driven fighter"-Atrra said as Akatsuki remembered his fight with Guel.
"First of all i dont know how can you see someone's emotion though a mobile suit. Second , thank you for the kind words. And third , you've seen the fragments of my last duel right ? I never even made an effort to cut him to pieces"-Akatsuki said as Atrra remembered the fragments that her husband sent to her , especially the finale
"What about the finale ? That bit dance with your future wife ?"-Atrra asked as Akatsuki blushed from the comment
"H-hey ! I-ve only done that because Suletta wanted to finish the fight quicker than me , I've only reacted with my thoughts and it was done , plain and simple"-Akatsuki replied in a rushed and stuttering sentence as a sneaky grin appeared on Atrra's face
"And please tell me about my future daughter in law , oh i'm sorry DAUGHTERS in law"-Atrra emphasised that word as Akatsuki from a river of sweat turned into a freshly grown tomato
"Well , one of them is Suletta. She's from Mercury , and currently held captive for possessing a Gundam. She's a stuttering redhead and kinda looks like a tanooki racoon , she is also my best friend here. Well , the only friend I have here"-Akatsuki said as Atrra was grinning on the other side of the phone
"Oh , you were rushing through the stages of a relationship ! From friends to lovers ending in fiancé stage !"-Atrra continued to tease as Akatsuki looked like he was losing all the air he had in his lungs
"MOM !"-Akatsuki screamed as Atrra chuckled
"Relax , I was just teasing you to see if I was right"-Atrra replied as Akatsuki got curious about what she meant
"What ?"-Akatsuki asked as Atrra continued to laugh
"I was checking if that duel reignited your taste for blood , but I was wrong. You are still the same as always. You can't talk about women and your still immature , just as my darling son"-Atrra said as Akatsuki laughed
"And now tell me about the second girl ? Your father said "She looks like she is made out of ice". I guess she is a polar opposite of Suletta right ?"-Atrra asked as Akatsuki thought about Miorine and the whole aura and presence she was emitting
"Well , White hair , pale skin , silver eyes. It writes itself on the mouth. But I can't blame her , from what I heard from her rant it seems like the father is a giant control freak. But she has some hobbies , like you probably know she has a greenhouse , she seems like she isn't the typical "Bride locked away inside a room with no door" type. I'll need some time to get to know her , and Suletta , and everyone else in general"-Akatsuki said as Atrra smiled on the other side of the phone
"I'm so happy that you proved me wrong , you are a completely different person in the cockpit but you're still my Akatsuki. I will talk with Mama and see what she can do to help , and about duelling. As long as you are safe and you keep wearing a helmet, I'm ok with it , for now. Also maybe after you finish school maybe you can find a job in your beloved field , I got to come back to making dinner for Mama. Love you son"-Atrra said as Akatsuki blushed
"I love you too , now I need to prepare for tomorrow"-Akatsuki said as Atrra laughed
"I know , and please , don't tell us things we want to hear instead of your true opinions and feelings. I don't want you to be sad while putting up a façade , I'm waiting for you to come home for the Christmas break , now I need to go. Bye son"-Atrra said as she closed the call and Akatsuki looked at the shower. 'and I'll do it , but for now I'll get a nice warm shower'-he thought as he did exactly what he thought and cleaned his body with warm fresh water. As he cleaned himself he got dressed in fresh clothes and laid on his bed. 'Taste for blood huh ? I don't want to kill anyone. I just want to fight. And what she meant with me "Not able to talk about women" ? I never really had a relationship with girls aside from Mom , Mama and the Aunties . And Katma but that was a sportsman/sportsman relationship , and that one kiss ? Yeah I , don't want to think about it. Besides from my two last visitis to Titan i havent seen her'-Akatsuki thought as he began to drift off before falling asleep , tired from all the surprises during his day , meanwhile Suletta didn't had it so easy
"Suletta Mercury , age 17. Stundent identification code LP041 , piloting department. Your father is dead and your mother was sent away to Lagrange 1 colony. Am I right ?"-The interviewer asked as Suletta wearing a simple gown looked at her feet
"I've already said"
"Am I right ?"-The interviewer repeated as Suletta felt powerless in her situation 'Ms Miorine , Akatsuki , Mother , help me , please'-she thought as she wanted to cry
"Yes"-she replied in a broken voice
"Did you know that the mobile suit you were using was a Gundam ?"-the interviewer asked
"HER NAME IS AERIAL !"-Suletta quickly countered it
"And that machines using the GUND Format in the inner rim and not protected by the Schism law is illegal and contradicts the Cathedra Agreement ?"-The interviewer raised a question as Suletta pondered a bit before answering
"I didn't know that"-Suletta said as she thought about Akatsuki and Barbatos. 'Maybe that's why Akatsuki wasn't detained ? He was protected by the law ?'-She thought a bit before focusing on another question
"Suletta Mercury , are you sure you're not the member of the Vanadis Institute that created the new generations of Gundam mobile suits ?"-The interviewer asked. Unwillingly to her the camera that was in the corner of the interrogation room was transmitting live to the meeting of the Benerit Group officials
"That girl was piloting the Gundam type ? She doesn't look like a witch ?"-One of the Peil Technologies representatives said
"Does she have any connection with the Vanadis Institute ?"-Sarius Zenelli asked
"Her mobile suit was registered by Shin Sei Development corporation from mercury. We still need to finish the investigation"-One of the officials said as Vim Jeturk exploded
"If she's not a witch then how can you explain it ?! You believe that a group of miners from Mercury were able to build their own Gundam type ?"-He asked as Sarius focused on the screen displaying Aerial
"Perhaps it's a ghost of Ochs Earth ? Maybe it's also connected with the Second Gundam type ?"-Sarius asked as one of the officials brought up Barbatos's data
"According to the information provided by the Tekkadan Security Corps officials the Barbatos Gundam frame rebuild process was outsourced to Shin Sei , it's even written in its designation"-One of the officials said as everyone whispered about Shin Sei helping a rival company
"The duel is annulled ! Confiscate the Mobile Suit and send the girl back to Mercury , same with the Gundam frame pilot !"-Vim said as Sarius could only sigh to counter Jeturk's narrow mindness and stupidity
"That can't be done"-Sarius said as the monitor now displayed the Barbatos and Akatsuki's data
"The TSCSS-G-08 Gundam Barbatos AA is protected by the Schism agreement signed 13 years ago , Mobile suits registered by the state-owned companies possess political immunity. Making the Mobile Suit legal. That manoeuvre could also cause the bad reputation of our company in the outer rim cutting off many markets for export. It could also strain our relationship with the Martian union and lose our protection from Tekkadan Security Corps. And looking at the surname alone can show that any decisions regarding this student will be walking on thin ice"-Sarius said as everyone made connection to the chairwoman of the Martian Union , Kudelia Aina Augus.
"Who cares if he is a son of a Politician from a backwater planet ? He is not backed by a corporation from the Benerit Group"-Vim countered as Sarius sent him a look
"Anulling a duel where the son of the chairwoman of mars was participating with a legal mobile suit could cause a giant ripple effect that will cause the Outer Rim corporations like Europa Corporation or Ganimedes Technology Enterprises to push us away from their territory and push their way into the inner rim. The only thing we can do in that situation is to annul the Shin Sei Mobile Suit's participation, Akatsuki Augus will keep his Holder title"-Sarius said as Vim went silent and the face of Delling Rembran appeared on the screen
"put those agreements in life , and summon the Shin Sei representative. We need to ask her some questions"
"RING RING RING RING RING"-Akatsuki's clock echoed across the room as his second day in Asticassia just started , he got up from his bed and released a jaw cracking yawn. He quickly got up as he grabbed his notebook and noticed he had a message on it
Akatsuki Augus
Congratulation on receiving the Holder title
Meet the duelling committee in our room at 1400 hours after the lunch break
Also I pass a message from one of the members: "See ya Marsboy ;)"
Shaddiq Zenelli
NEW UNIFORM CONFIGURATION UNLOCKED - PRESS THIS TO SWITCH THE UNIFORM TO THE "HOLDER" CONFIGURATION
"Wait , I kept the title ?"-Akatsuki said out loud as he pressed the button and inside one of his bags a golden glow emitted surprised him. As he walked towards the bag he opened it to reveal the white and black Holder school uniform with the golden details reminding him of Anno Domini military suits he saw in books. Akatsuki then later quickly looked at the pilot suit to notice that it still remained in its holder configuration. He quickly put on the uniform jacket and shorts before putting on his converse sneakers and grabbed all his stuff needed for school. As he packed his backpack he also noticed the gun carrying case, 'Ok , maybe I'll carry it once , perhaps it won't be needed'-He thought as he snuggled the gun inside the backpack making sure the safety was on. After topping it off with the morning toilet routine with washing his teeth and doing his hair he walked out of his quarters to see Mikazuki standing with a bag and a thermos
"I made breakfast , also again nice suit. Even if little extravagant , I've prepared cocoa"-MIkazuki said as they walked towards one of the tables before they sat on the chairs and begun to eat
"Do you know anything about the whole situation ? Since I slept through the rest of the day and night"-Akatsuki asked as he Mikazuki shaked his head
"Sorry , aside from the message popping up on screen saying that your result gets kept and that other suit gets disqualified"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki looked at him
"And what happened to the pilot ?"-Akatsuki asked as Mikazuki looked at the documents he had with him
"According to what I received the girl will be sent back to Mercury"-Mikazuki asked as Akatsuki quickly finished his food before asking another question
"And what about Aerial ?"-He asked as Mikazuki looked at the other documents he had
"Apparently the fate of it Is supposed to be decided today , but I won't be there since I'm leaving in an hour"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki put down his head
"Oh , I forgot"-Akatsuki said as Mikazuki patted his head
"Don't worry , we'll be coming every now and then to check on you. Besides, I need to go back to the farm since the crop season is about to start ,and I'm thinking of growing something new , maybe pumpkins ? I know your Mothers love pumpkin pie"-Mikazuki as he gave another bag to his son
"Oh snap ! Dates !"-Akatsuki said as he grabbed one of them and put it in his mouth
"I brought them here , alongside some seeds for a small date palm that you can plant here"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki grabbed the seed bag
"Thanks dad , I should be leaving now"-Akatsuki said as he grabbed his blue backpack
"No problem , I'll call you when I reach home"-Mikazuki said as Akatsuki made his way towards the elevator and got his fair share of looks from all the people that were walking around the cargo corridors. And as he reached the elevator noticed how everyone around him were whispering something about him. 'Well , at least they aren't saying it to my face'-Akatsuki thought as the elevator finally finished its ride and presumably every students nightmare occurred , he missed the train
"Oh shit ! I can't be late on my first real day"-Akatsuki said out loud as he then noticed electric scooters waiting for students through the window. And he licked lips
"YEEEE HAAA ! Maybe it's not my e-dirt bike but it's still fun !"-Akatsuki exclaimed as he was quickly passing through other students and breaking numerous speed limits
"Watch out how you're driving !"-One of the students said as Akatsuki didn't really care to listen. Another 10 minutes passed as Akatsuki finally reached the main school building
"Oh shit that was fun ! Now let's see what we have for today"-Akatsuki said as grabbed his notebook to check his lesson schedule

"Ok , so the first class starts in 10 minutes. Let me commerce forth"-Akatsuki said as he managed to find his classroom , as he opened it he found himself in the centre of attention. And he quickly managed to find himself an empty seat and sat on it before unpacking his notebook and notepad. And unknowingly to him became the centre of attention
"Excuse me ?"-One of the students asked as Akatsuki peaked his head out towards the voice
"Yes ?"-He asked as he noticed people staring at him
"Why are you here ?"-One of the female students asked as Akatsuki pointed at himself
"Me ?"-He asked himself as he picked up one of the dates from his backpack
"Yes you ! Why did you come here ?! Why did you defeat Guel on your first day ?"-Another student asked him
"Have you come here to fight for the Princess's hand ? Oh it's so romantic ! A dashing knight saving the bride !"-One of the female students asked as Akatsuki blushed
"That wasn't the intention , I only wanted to teach him a lesson"-Akatsuki said as the student group was getting more and more interested
"What house did you choose ? Grassley ? Jeturk ? Peil ?"-One of the male students asked as Akatsuki hadn't thought about it. 'I can't sleep in the hangar forever , I'll leave that for later'-He thought as he tried to came up with the answer from the crowd
"I still haven't picked one. Besides there are apparently more houses"-Akatsuki said as the group of students chuckled
"Listen , I don't know how you do it in the outer rim but here you have to stick with the big three. Either that or you will end up in the earth house with earthians like that girl over there"-Another female student whispered as she pointed at a girl with pink hair and two big hair puffs.
"I want to announce that the lesson has started , enough of the chit-chat"-The teacher said as they all got in their seats. 'Ok , the first lesson. Perhaps it won't be boring like lessons back home'-Akatsuki thought as the teachers started his lecture
'This was , not so pretty boring. But it's still just basic manoeuvres , now for the break and for dates !'-Akatsuki thought as he walked out of the classroom towards one of the benches and sat on it , he took out the bag with dates inside and begun to swallow them. And as he ate and saw people walking though and talking about him. That was until someone was standing in front of him casting a show over him , and as he looked up he noticed it was Guel wearing a normal uniform.
"Ah !"-Akatsuki screamed as he quickly jumped from the bench and got into his battle stance all according to his martial arts training
"I'm not here to fight , I'm here to say sorry"-Guel said as Akatsuki at first confused and let out the battle stance before walking up to Guel. And noticed that he was taller than him with only his hair managing to top Guel's head
"You're here to say sorry ?"-Akatsuki asked as Guel backed out as they were gathering a crowd around
"Exactly , I'm sorry for my racist remarks and underestimating your piloting. The Gundam Barbatos frame is a remarkable machine that managed to defeat the Dilanza. You are also not a below-average pilot. You rightfully earned your reputation as the Demon Incarnate"-Guel said as Akatsuki was now shocked. 'Wait , he has honour ? Maybe losing his position thought him some humility'-He thought as he was walking on the thin ice with the things he wanted to say
"What is the catch ?"-He asked as Guel's facial expression remained stoic
"There is none , aside from one day challenging you for a duel. Without stakes , no women standing in front. But for now i'm offering a truce"-Guel said as he took out his head. After a second of hesitation Akatsuki shaked his hand
"Good"-Guel said as he walked away from him leaving a puzzled Akatsuki. 'Well , a duel with no conditions sounds pretty sweet. Now I want some dates'-he thought as he grabbed his date bag and his backpack and made his way towards the classroom where his next lecture was supposed to take place. The rest of the lessons were passing quickly as they were blending in with his interests and all the Mobile Suit trivia and things he could use with Barbatos , few talks with other students interested in his story. That was until the hour 12:30 came and Akatsuki found himself In the classroom.
"Oh look Miorine ! Your fiancée came"-Felsi joked as Akatsuki immediately blushed before taking the steps and looking for free spots as he eyed every corner of the room. And much to his displeasure the only free spot he found was next to Miorine. 'Ok , no words , no whispers. It's just an hour of History lessons , I've built model kits so I should know the techno babble'-Akatsuki said as he sat next to her before taking out his notebook and notepad.
"Excuse me ?"-Someone knocked on Akatsuki's shoulder and turned his head to the student sitting above him and giving him his another notepad
"Can you sign this ?"-The student asked as Akatsuki nodded
"Sure"-He said as he signed the notepad and gave it back to the student and decided to focus on the lecture. And as he tried hard he couldn't focus on the lecture as a female teacher was talking about the Gundam frames of the Calamity conflict , Akatsuki's focus was on the girl that according to herself was his fiancée.
"LP077 , Akatsuki Augus. Can you please tell the group how many Gundam frames were manufactured by Gjallarhorn ?"-The teacher asked as Akatsuki turned his head to the teacher
"Oh , 72 of course. Gundam Barbatos being the 8th one"-Akatsuki said as the teacher nodded
"And what made them so unique compared to other mobile suits ?"-The teacher asked as Akatsuki grinned
"Two things , Modularity and Alaya Vijnana. That allowed the pilot to push themselves towards maximal potential and finish the Calamity Conflict with the load out designed for them "-Akatsuki said as the teacher released a single clap
"Good , it will go in your resume. Now sit back down"-The teacher said as Akatsuki obeyed and sat back in his seat as the teacher focused back on the lecture while Akatsuki's view was focus on Miorine who only grabbed Akatsuki's notepad and wrote something on it
If you keep ogling me at least be more subtle about it-The message said as Akatsuki blushed again and wrote back a message
It's kinda hard considering what happened yesterday. Speaking of that, what are we gonna do about Suletta ?-Akatsuki wrote before he handed it back towards Miorine who quickly glanced it and wrote something back on it
It's you who is going to meet Shaddiq , talk with him. I have some things to do on the lunch break-Miorine wrote as their conversation ended on that. The lesson came to a close as Akatsuki grabbed all his stuff and walked out of the classroom before grabbing a date out of his backpack and swallowing it.
"What's that ?"-A voice asked as Akatsuki turned around to see Miorine
"Those are Martian dates"-Akatsuki said as Miorine grabbed one of the dates from the bag and put it in her mouth
"You know that those are forbidden for sale in the inner rim right ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki shrugged
"Those were freshly grown in our garden , and I have some seeds to grow a small date palm but I don't have a right place to plant them"-Akatsuki said said as Miorine looked at him nonchalantly
"I'll talk with you later"-Miorine said as she started walking away from him. 'Damn it ! I forgot that now there is time for launch'-Akatsuki thought as he grabbed his stuff and made his way towards the cafeteria to grab himself lunch and wait for the hour 14:00. After a short walk he found himself in the cafeteria standing in a line to get himself some launch. And after a few minutes he found himself a plate full of food. 'Now to find myself a spot to eat , where every table is taken and everyone is shooting a look at me'-Akatsuki thought as he walked through the cafeteria trying to find himself a lonely spot. That was until a familiar voice snapped him out
"Akatsuki-sempai !"-Nika called out to him as Akatsuki noticed her sitting in front of one of the tables alone
"Oh , hello Nika. And you can drop the Sempai manicure , just call me Akatsuki"-Akatsuki said as sat with his tray in front of Nika
"I'm sure you've been attracting a large crowd today , besides that do you know anything about Suletta ?"-Nika asked as Akatsuki begun to eat his food
"I don't know , I'm gonna need to find out about her and do something to help her , since she is caged"-Akatsuki said as he ate his food
"I really feel bad for her , but there is nothing I can do since I'm just an Earthian. Anyways I want to ask numerous questions about you"-Nika said as her fan girl mode turned on
"Why are you so interested about the Outer Rim ?'-Akatsuki asked as Nika's eyes continued to sparkle
"Why ? It's simple ! Here our suits advertisements are revolving around plain marketing , not to mention suits not really showing their potential , out there in the outer rim , out there they build incredible over the top and intricate Mobile Suits designed not for sale but for the sport. The "win on Sunday sales on Monday" mentality is strong there and suits from Europa Corporation or Garnimedes Technology Enterprises or even Titan Fraternity seem as way cooler machines than anything from the Benerit Group , they build their suits like on convertor belt and keep their tight control on the suits here. One day I'll think about building a suit designed for duelling in the best Outer Rim events. I also have some questions for you"-Nika said as Akatsuki was quickly eating his food as he checked the time on his notebook
"Eh ?"-He asked as Nika showed him her private notepad , and as Akatsuki looked at it he noticed what it was , a fanfiction site
"Why are you showing me this ?"-Akatsuki asked as Nika's eyes widened
"What was the thing between you and Katma Iloande from Titan ? Almost everyone on the numerous fan forums believes that you two have history , Ever since that Grand Prix 2 years ago and that she didn't want to talk about it and everybody was speculating that you broke her heart"-Nika asked as Akatsuki blushed from the question as he remembered the beautiful young girl with blonde hair and green eyes , being called the "The pride of Titan" or the "Battle Maiden" that Akatsuki fought on his way to the Finale two years ago
"Well , what do they say ?"-Akatsuki asked as Nika blushed from the question
"Some of what they say is pretty light like you simply rejected her , and on the other side of the spectrum. The wildest theory is that she was pregnant with your child that she lost and you rejected her"-Nika said as Akatsuki's jaw was now hanging.
"Don't those 14-year old girls have anything to do ?! I'm a virgin ! Hell I wasn't kissing someone yet , well Katma kissed me but it was cut quickly off"-Akatsuki said as now Nika's jaw was hanging
"My god , so there was something between all of you ! And in terms all of those 14-year old girls. Well since almost every pilot was a teenager and many of the info getting both here and in the outer rim were getting mostly through news and tabloids on the internet that were buffed so that they would get clicks. You should be lucky that you are here where the duelling scene is less popular and only those that dig deep inside will know who you truly are"-Nika said as Akatsuki wanted to reply before someone walked up towards them
"Whats this dumb spacian doing here ?!"-The girl with big hair puffs asked as Akatsuki looked up to see the girl with another boy with brown hair and blue eyes
"Chuchu ! Me and Akatsuki were just talking"-Nika tried to diffuse the situation as Chuchu was seeming to hear none of it as she sent a punch to Akatsuki who quickly managed to grab her fist
"No worries ! I was leaving anyway ! See ya Nika !"-Akatsuki said as he quickly grabbed his stuff and made his way towards the duelling committee room as the watch showed the hour 13:45. After many elevators , corridors and staircases he found himself standing in front of the duelling committee. 'All right , you're a holder , you've handled numerous press attacks. You can do it , it's not like its all made out of attractive women right ?'-Akatsuki said as the timer on his phone announced that the hour 14:00 finally came and Akatsuki opened the door
"Oh ,Akatsuki Augus, or do you prefer the term "Demon Incarnate" ?"-Shaddiq said as Akatsuki took a look across the room and duelling committee members
"Im Shaddiq Zenelli from the Grassley house"-Shaddiq said as he reached out his head that Akatsuki took
"Please just call me Akatsuki"-Akatsuki said as Shaddiq let go of his hand
"And those are the other duelling committee members , Ryouji Chante from the Burion house and Elan Ceres from the Peil House"-Shaddiq said as he pointed at two boys , one of them had blue hair that covered his right eye and another one with green hair and green eyes ending up his look with earrings
"I'm Rouji , it's interesting to meet you"-Rouji said as Akatsuki shaked his hand before turning his look to Elan
"Elan Ceres"-Elan said in a icy and flat tone and robotically extended his hand that Akatsuki took feeling confusedly
"And I feel someone is missing"-Shaddiq said as he turned his head towards the door as Akatsuki did the same , and immediately blushed
"Oh , it's the Marsboy ? Secelia Dote , also from Burion House"-Secelia said as she got closer to Akatsuki that they were almost touching foreheads
"I-i-im Akatsuki A-Augus , n-nice to meet you"-Akatsuki said as he tried to keep his mind cool as he did in his swordsmanship lessons instead of looking at Secelia's thighs , and breasts. 'Goddamn , not even Katma had such a rack and that was 2 years ago'-Akatsuki thought as he looked at Secelia's grin
"Heh , you're cute"-Secelia said as she stepped away from him. 'Heh , I wonder if the princess will lend me her fiancé'-she thought as she couldn't do anything but chuckle at the sight of Akatsuki wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Anyways , now your task as the holder is to help manage the duelling committee as its representative , and chairman"-Shaddiq said as Akatsuki instead of asking questions regarding his new tasks he wanted to ask about his best friend
"What about Suletta ? Do you know what will happen to her ?"-Akatsuki asked as Shaddiq had a curious expression on his face
"The mercury lady ? Her faith will probably be decided today"-Shaddiq said as Akatsuki's notebook begun to vibrate in his pocket , and as he picked it up he noticed that it was Miorine calling him
"I need your help , green house in 20 minutes"-Miorine said as she closed the call leaving confused Akatsuki
"Im sorry , I need to go"-Akatsuki said as he wanted to leave , perhaps Miorine found out something about Suletta.
"See ya Marsboy"-Secelia said as she quickly kissed Akatsuki's cheek that caused him to turn into a red comet that quickly flew out of the room
"Well , he is unique"-Shaddiq said as Secelia chuckled
"That's what makes him cute , they call him a demon but he is like a cute little antichrist. No wonder he has tons of fangirls back home"-Secelia said as Shaddiq was amused by her comment
"You sound like you are trying to invite him for a date"-Shaddiq said as Secelia chuckled
"Maybe"-She said as Shaddiq chuckled
"Anyways , i'm leaving for the group meeting , Ryouji , you got his number ?"-Shaddiq asked as Rouji nodded and uploaded Akatsuki's number to their notepads. 'Akatsuki Augus , you're interesting'-Shaddiq thought as he alongside Rouji and Elan left the room leaving grinning Secelia who laid on the couch.
"Hmm , you got my attention Marsboy. Lets wait what will you show me"-Secelia said as she returned to her committee work
"So , why do you need my help ?"-Akatsuki said as Miorine stood in the greenhouse door
"One is to fix the greenhouse , the other is two plant the date palm , follow me"-Miorine said as they walked inside and Akatsuki aside from being surprised that Miorine managed to clean it after Guel's rampage , but also a new spot with few lamps pointing at it
"Wait , you want me to plant the seed ?"-Akatsuki asked as Miorine turned back towards him
"And why would there be another reason for me to call you ? Also I like the taste of the dates"-Miorine said as Akatsuki shrugged and grabbed the seed bag and took out one of them
"Lesson in growing a Martian dates palm number one, the ground should be a mix of-"
"Peat and sand ?"-Miorine cut him off as Akatsuki turned around surprised before he grabbed some of the mix in his fingers
"I've read about it"-Miorine said as Akatsuki buried the seed in the mix and grabbed the water that was laying nearby and watered almost entire small canister leaving some water in it before setting all the nearby lights on it
"And with that we provided the best conditions for the Martian dates to grow"-Akatsuki said as he noticed Miorine picking a red box and taking it out
"Come on"-Miorine said as Akatsuki helped her with the box and settled it down on the ground
"Maybe we could help ?"-Lauda asked as Akatsuki noticed the trio from the Jeturk house
"It's your beloved ace that destroyed everything"-Miorine said as she and Akatsuki took out the tools out of the box
"Guel ordered us to fix it"-Lauda said as Akatsuki connected it to that proposal Guel made to him earlier this day. 'I guess that he learned a lot more humidity than I thought'-He thought as Miorine only shrugged
"Something got to him ? So where is he now ?"-Miorine asked
"He is busy"-Lauda replied as Miorine saw another chance for a snarky reply
"Ahh ? Perhaps daddy called him after the lost fight"-Miorine said as Akatsuki did release a little chuckle
"At least he is interested in him , not like yours !"-Felsi replied
"You're not better , you left one of your fiancés alone after she fought for you , will you leave the other too ?"-Petra added
"I didn't ask for anything , when she returns I'll tell her , that she shouldn't interfere with my life"-Miorine said nonchalantly forgetting that her other fiancé was crouching in front of her
"You don't know yet ? She will be thrown out"-Felsi said as Miorine had a shocked expression on her face
"Hey everything ok ?"-Akatsuki asked as he hid his shock behind a poker face resembling a concerned one. 'Dang it ! Looks like I'll have to pull the political card , and that means calling Mama'-Akatsuki thought as now the only thing he had planned was to see Suletta
"And they will scrap her suit ! My dad told me that"-Felsi added as Miorine got up and grabbed Akatsuki's hand and walked up to Felsi
"Hey what is-"-She was quickly cut off by a tool landing in her hands
"You've said it yourself , you'll fix it. One more thing , touch the tomatoes or any other plants and I'll kill you"-Miorine said as they walked away
"INCREDIBLE ! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ! Gundam Barbatos AA wins the semi-final round of M/J Grand Prix for 120 ! Beautiful performances from both Miss Ilonade and Mister Augus , but there can only be one winner. The Taris, while incredibly intricate and incredible in close quarters, can't beat something that combines pure brute force with speed , agility and accuracy. With this swift cut of a sword Akatsuki Augus becomes the first Martian since 100 to qualify for the finale ! But from now on we can wish him the best of luck"-A voice of a commentator said as Nika took away her notebook from Chuchu
"See Chuchu ? That's why they call him the Demon Incarnate. He is simply one of the best pilots around , not to mention that Barbatos has incredible on-field history. From Calamity Conflict to the Fareed Incident to Dueling arenas"-Nika said as Chuchu shrugged
"He only has that name because of his father ! Besides it should be Devil not Demon. He fought for Martian freedom and not in an arena ! Less a demon and more of a fraud"-Chuchu said as Nika saw that this battle was lost
"Nika , i think I found it , Shin Sei Development Corporation from Mercury , founded 33 years ago , has a D position in the group. 151 place in the sales ranking ?"-Martin said out loud as he checked the information behind the company that built the supposed Gundam
"They are closing the ranking ?"-Chuchu asked
"It's incredible that she even got here"-Martin said as he put his notebook back to his pocket
"But they managed to build their own suit"-Nika said
"So what if they didn't approve it ? If it was a bigger company backing it up it would've been another story. But outside of outsourcing from outer rim companies they really don't have anything to say"-Martin replied
"In this school you mean as much as the reputation as the company supporting you , take a look at the Demon Fraud , Tekkkadan Security Corps serve as the guard dogs of numerous companies both in and out of the group. They have the reputation and he got in"-Chuchu added
"As Earthians we don't have much to speak about it"-Martin replied as Chuchu got angry at his comment
"It's Specians that keep us in their grip ! Hell they fight to keep each other in each other's grip !"-Chuchu replied
"Chuchu , be quiet"-Nika said trying to diffuse the situation
"I don't care a shit if they will hear me !"-Chuchu said getting more and more irritated
"But I don't !"-Martin replied in frantic manner
"Can you move ?"-One of the Spacian girls asked as the Earth House trio looked up to see two Spacian girls
"It's our place"-The second one added
"Since when ?!"-Chuchu frantically asked
"Of course , we just finished. Im sorry"-Nika said as she got up with her tray before one the girls spat a gum in her food
"You just finished right ? You can throw it away !"-She said as Chuchu had enough of it
"Learn some manners you damn Spacian !"-Chuchu screamed as Nika's smile didn't disappear
"Let's go Chuchu , you too Martin"-Nika said as she walked away with Chuchu and Martin followed her
"Nika ! Why did you do that ?!"-Chuchu asked as Nika simply continued to walk
"She was detained under the charge of using an illegal suit"-The woman on the monitor said as Miorine and Akatsuki were pissed
"We only want to see the pilot !"-Miorine screamed
"We're her friends ! We should have the rights to do it !"-Akatsuki added as the woman remained unshaken
"I'm not authorized to this decision"-The woman flatly replied
"Then who is ?!"-Miorine asked running out of ideas
"Ceo Delling , now please leave"-The woman said as Miorine felt powerless
"Well , we have two ways left now"-Akatsuki said as Miorine looked at him
"What is the quickest way ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki reached out to his backpack for the gun
"WHAT ? NO ! WE WONT KILL ANYONE !"-Miorine screamed as Akatsuki put the gun back to his backpack
"I thought more about scaring them , and the other two scaring tools are back in my room"-Akatsuki said as Miorine face palmed
"Well , what is the second way ? You said that you had two"-Miorine said as they walked out towards the observation window
"It's called "Political immunity". Perhaps some gaps in the law could help us break her out"-Akatsuki said as Miorine looked at him like a idiot. Akatsuki only shrugged as he grabbed a phone and hid it from Miorine
"Hello , code AA02121105"-Akastuki said as a woman on mars rushed with the phone though the corridor and reached an office where Kudelia was residing
"Chairwoman , the phone"-The woman said as Kudelia confusedly took the phone
"Who are you and how did you got that code ?"-Kudelia asked as Akatsuki only shrugged with Miorine looking at him like she was trying to pierce him with her eyes
"Hey mama , it's me"-Akatsuki said as Kudelia sighed before taking a long breath in and out
"Akatsuki , you could've just called me on my regular phone"-Kudelia said as Akatsuki shrugged
"But you always are in some meetings and I need your help immediately"-Akatsuki said as Kudelia looked through her papers before smirking
"Does it have to do with your engagement ?"-Kudelia asked as Akatsuki got red
"Mama ! Don't say it so casually !"-Akatsuki said as Kudelia opened a video on her laptop showing the duel from yesterday
"Ok , I've seen that the redhead was arrested. It has something to do with it right ?"-Kudelia asked as Akatsuki nodded as he put the call on the speaker
"Exactly , any gap in the law ? Any small paragraph ?"-Akatsuki asked as Kudelia had a sad smile on her face
"I'm sorry honey , even with my strings I can't do anything since the suit wasn't built on mars. The only thing I could do would be bailing you out"-Kudelia said as Miorine was livid
"Aren't you the chairwoman of Mars ?! It's your son's fiancé after all ?!"-Miorine screamed to the phone as Akatsuki wanted to melt from embarrassment in his chair. Kudelia heard her voice as she united the two of two together
"Aren't you Miorine Rembran ? The daughter of the CEO and president of the Benerit Group ? Oh , Akatsuki became your fiancé after the duel"-Kudelia said as Miorine looked like steam was escaping her ear before she snatched Akatsuki's phone from him
"Miss Augus , my old man is just a president of a corporation while you are a Chairperson of an ENTIRE PLANET. The girl locked in is his fiancé , not to mention it's also my fiancé !"-Miorine said as Kudelia only shaked her head. 'Quite the firecracker you found yourself Honey'-she thought as she collected herself enough with the answer
"I'm sorry Miorine , there is nothing I can do. Perhaps you could talk with your father and release her , I need to go Honey. Take care of yourself"-Kudelia said as she closed the call before she returned to look at the documents. 'I'm incredibly sorry Honey , I wish I could've helped you'-Kudelia thought. Meanwhile both Miorine and Akatsuki felt powerless as they stared though the window
"Miss Miorine"-A man said as Miorine turned back to him
"I have to return to school ?"-Miorine asked
"I have a message from your father"-The man said as Miorine
"I don't want to read it"-Miorine said as she continued to stargaze
"So I'll do it , Miorine , you are kicked out of school , return home immediately , I'll pick your fiancé myself. That's all"-The man said as Miorine snatched the phone from him
"Give me that !"-Miorine screamed as Akatsuki could hear her voice cracking
"What is the meaning of this ?! You made it yourself that duels will decide who will become my fiancé !"-Miorine screamed as she turned back to the man
"Suletta and Akatsuki had won the duel ! I won't marry anyone that old man chooses !"-Miorine said snapping Akatsuki out of his blissful state as Miorine show him a look that said 'Don't interfere'
"I can't do anything about it"-The man said as Miorine was slowly losing the control of her emotions
"its always like that ! He doesn't talk to me , he doesn't ask , not in terms of choosing school , or when he ordered me to quit playing piano. Or with who i'm supposed to be friends with ! I couldn't even be on my mother's funeral !"-Miorine screamed as she threw the phone away and jumped away with the zero gravity environment taking her away
"Where are you going ?"-The man asked
"To the Toilet !"-Miorine screamed as Akatsuki was now left alone as the man said something about keeping Miorine under watch. 'Well this is a shitty situation , so much so Miorine had to go to toilet. Miorine didn't help , Mama didn't help. Fine , I'll do it myself'-Akatsuki said as he jumped through Miorine's security
"Out of my way !"-Akatsuki said as he jolted back towards the detention centre
"Ok , and here , come on Augus you've seen all the Ninja stuff there is"-Akatsuki whispered to himself as he located his target. The door guarded by two guards , 'All right , here we go'-he thought as he looked through his backpack to find anything that could be a decoy. And he noticed the date bag as he smirked.
"hey , wanna had for a cig later ?"-A guard asked
"Well , that would be go-OW !"-The second guard screamed as Akatsuki temporarily blinded both of them with a quick date throw temporally blinding them as he jumped through them and got inside the centre. Akatsuki searched through the holding cells for what felt like hours before he felt someone hand on his back
"You shouldn't be here"-Elan said as Akatsuki turned around noticing him carrying a tray with food
"And what are you doing here ?"-Akatsuki asked as Elan's face remained stoic
"I'm looking for Suletta Mercury"-Elan said as Akatsuki had weirded out expression
"Well , i'm also looking for her. And since Miorine wasn't available I search for her alone"-Akatsuki said
"Then help me find her"-Elan said as Akatsuki nodded in forced agreement. They quickly managed to find Suletta's cell , that's inmate was trying to sleeping on the provided bed
"Mother"-Suletta whispered as she heard knocking on the door
"O-o-o-pen !"-Suletta exclaimed as Akatsuki and Elan flew in
"Suletta !"-Akatsuki exclaimed as Suletta jolted up to hear the familiar voice
"Akatsuki ! You came back !"-Suletta said as she jumped towards him before grabbing his arms in joy , and as she realised it she quickly shied away
"I-i-i-im sorry !"-Suletta said stuttering as she jumped away
"Are you hungry ?"-Elan asked as Suletta noticed him
"O-oh , y-you brought a-a friend"-Suletta told Akatsuki
"Well kinda this is-"-Akatsuki was cut off
"I am Elan Ceres , I also study in Asticassia and Im Akatsuki's co-member in the duelling committee, I was allowed to deliver the food"-Elan cut him off as Akatsuki wanted to say something but stopped after looking at Suletta's face
"I-I can , eat it ?"-Suletta said as both Elan and Akatsuki nodded
"You can"-Elan replied
"I-it's nice from you"-Suletta said as she grabbed the tray and immediately begun to dig up the food that Elan brought her and both Elan and Akatsuki could see how happy she was
"T-thank you very much"-Suletta said looking at them both
"Well , what are fiancés for ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta blushed from the comment causing Akatsuki to also blush
"There is no problem"-Elan replied
"Why ?"-Suletta continued to ask
"You intrigue me , Suletta Mercury , I want to learn more about you"-Elan replied as Akatsuki's only thought in that situation was 'What the fuck ?'. Meanwhile Miorine had other things planned
'Kudelia Aina Augus , you're also a coward. You couldn't even help your son , but I can'-Miorine said as she stood infront of the door that was leading to the Benerit group meeting , she took a long breath in and out before opening the door and walking inside , as she walked she could've felt the looks from the Benerit Group , but one especially , a woman wearing a white helmet. But Miorine's face remained stoic as she walked towards her father
"What are you doing here , Miorine ?"-Delling asked as Miorine looked at him
"I came here telling you what I think about all of it ! How dare you defy your own rules you self-centred old man !"-Miorine screamed outloud getting the attention of the people around her
"Only the directors of the main Benerit Group companies can reside here. You are not one of them , you're just a schoolgirl with no power"-Delling told his daughter as Miorine felt the itch
"It's always the same ! Condescending , deciding about my life with no agreement"-Miorine exclaimed as Delling's face remained stoic
"I don't have to agree on anything with you. I already decided , you have to obiedient. You thought you could rebel because you are my daughter ?"-He asked a rhetorical question as Miorine was getting more and more angry
"What the hell are you thing ?! You think you're a king ?"-She asked
"Exactly ! I have power , you don't. Those without it need to be silent and carry out orders , this is how our world works"-Delling said as someone tried to grab Miorine by the arm
"Those who run forward get twice the amount , Then I challenge you to a duel ! If I we win you will accept Suletta and Akatsuki as my fiancés. And if we lose, you can do whatever you want !"-Miorine exclaimed
"Have I not made myself clear ?"-Delling asked
"I want to fight according to your rules ! At least once take responsibility for your decisions ! You're an adult aren't you ?!"-Miorine continued as the silence took over the room
"Can I take my voice ? Even if it was by accident that Mobile Suit managed to put a lot of damage on the Dilanza , I believe we should take a closer look at its performance"-Vim said catching Delling's attention
"What do you mean ?"-He asked
"Mobile suits of Outer Rim companies are beginning to bring profit to the market , perhaps with that suit we will retake our leader position on the stock market"-Vim said as the woman in the helmet stepped forward
"I believe that duels will be a great testing ground for Aerial , considering that a Mobile Suit containing the same technology won numerous competitions and secured its pilot the holder title"-She said as Miorine made that a mental note. 'So the suit that got Mars back into the big leagues was rebuilt on Mercury ? Ironic'-She thought
"Will you deliver us the tech data of the suit ?"-One of Peil's directors asked
"Of course"-She replied covering herself with her coat
"Wait a minute , you want to violate the Cathedra agreement ?"-Sarius asked as the whole room's atmosphere became tight as everyone was whispering
"But didn't you almost violate the Schism law just yesterday?"-The helmeted woman asked
"That law has far more consequences than the agreement"-Sarius replied as everyone continued to talk
"Enough"-Delling stern voice caused everyone to be silent again
"I agree to your deal Miorine. We will arrange a duel between the Gundam and the former Holder"-That was the only thing Delling said before leaving
"GAME OVER !"-A voice of a announcer said in Akatsuki's phone who wanted to threw it to the edges of the universe
"DAMN IT ! Those stupid loot boxes ! I spent the last hour sitting here trying to get the Taris M/J version ! But of course the event had to start and I only had some grazes and old Gundam frames ! Stupid Gatcha games"-Akatsuki said as he floated in the zero G environment in Suletta's cell
"Akatsuki ? Why are you still here ? you shouldn't be in class right now ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki swam next to her while she was staring at her tray
"I said I would help you , and since no guards came to take me away I can stick around for some time"-Akatsuki said while putting his phone in the pocket of his shorts
"What about Miss Miorine ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki shrugged
"Last time I saw her was when she went to the toilet. The optimist part of me wants to believe that she is doing something to help but-"-Akatsuki was cut off by Miorine surprisingly flying inside the Cell noticing the airhead duo
"SULETTA ! AKATSUKI !"-Miorine screamed as she grabbed them by their arms
"Miss Miorine !"- Suletta exclaimed as the zero G lifted them up
"There will be a duel ! If we lose, Aerial will be scrapped ! And you will be thrown out !"
CHAPTER TWO: END
CHAPTER TWO : EPILOGUE
'I wonder how their wedding will look like'-Atrra thought as she continued to clean the last of Akatsuki's swords , just as he told her how , use the sword oil and wipe it as long as no dry spot will remain before putting it back in the saya. But her mind was focused on imagining her son wearing a tuxedo. And as she imagined that another thought appeared
"Wait , did he bought wedding rings ?"-Atrra said outloud as she looked at her own ring residing on her finger before finally finishing cleaning the katana and putting it back in its saya returning to its spot on the rack. 'And now im done for the next 3 months , i wonder when he will bring his fiancés for dinner ? And where we will organize the wedding , oh , and there is also the wedding night'-Atrra thought as that last sentence covering her face with crimson blush as she was looking for something to do to not think about it. 'Oh ! I should go take a walkthough the farm ! Since Mikazuki is gone i need to do it !'-Atrra said rushing out of Akatsuki's room thinking , or at least trying to think about work
A/N : Another chapter , i have four chapters ready for publishing and they are only waiting for tweaks and fixing up mistakes or changing some parts. It was also marvelous to write Atrra's reactions to the news and will not stop thinking about 24/7. And as always , i dont own Gundam , that privalege is for Bandai and Sunrise
