With this incredible victory Akatsuki Augus wins the biggest crown prize a Mobile Suit pilot can get in this part of the universe. The Mars and Jupiter sphere Grand Prix. "I haven't come here to win , I only wanted to see how good I am"-He said fresh from the cockpit. For the next 4 years all the exceptions will fall on his back. Yet he doesn't seem excited about it , freshly after the duel and receiving the "Galaxia" he alongside the Tekkadan Security Corps pit crew had returned to Mars leaving most of our questions unanswered. Perhaps the Martian Media will manage to get more out of him then we could. We can only say good luck and wait for the next major league event to see the "Demon Incarnate" battle his way through numerous suits to victory -Titan Sports report on the M/J Grand Prix finale-AD Stella 120
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM : DEMON INCARNATE
CHAPTER 3 : GUEL'S PRIDE
'So I get to sit this one on a bench ? Neat'-Akatsuki thought as he was pulled though by a handle between Miorine and Suletta
"You need to win this duel , so that you won't be kicked out of school and me not being stuck in marriage with him alone"-Miorine said as Akatsuki frowned a bit but decided to keep it quiet. Suletta meanwhile only put her head down and hid behind Akatsuki's shoulder
"I don't want to"-Suletta said as Miorine turned around
"What ? We both have something to get !"-Miorine said at them as Suletta continued to hide behind Akatsuki
"My list"-Suletta said shyly as Akatsuki now remembered what she was talking about
"I made a list of things I wanted to do before going to school , find friends , give them nicknames , learn in the library , eat lunch on the roof and-"-Suletta cut out the last example as she noticed that both Miorine and Akatsuki were looking at her
"Go on dates"-She silently whispered
"What was that ? Akatsuki did you hear what she said ?"-Miorine asked him as Akatsuki turned his head
"I want to go on dates !"-Suletta loudly exclaimed before getting pushed by a flick on her forehead from Miorine
"You are sex-crazed"-Miorine said as Akatsuki closed eyes so that he couldn't peak under Suletta's gown
"If I marry any of you I won't be able to do that !"-Suletta said as Miorine only shrugged and grabbed the handle before making her way with Akatsuki following her
"Why not ?"-She asked as Akatsuki had to listen to that conversation
"Cheating is not ok !"-Suletta said as Akatsuki turned around
"Why can't you ? I mean look at me. I have three parents and turned out just fine , hell few of my aunties were in a harem"-Akatsuki said as Suletta blushed and hid her face behind her hands
"Loose up , none of you have to be standing in front of the altar immediately. You need to be 17 to legally get married. So until my birthday there should be relative peace"-Miorine said as the handles lead them to the window
"I'll escape from here at all cost and make my way to earth. You both only need to pretend to be my fiancés , let's make a pact"-Miorine said showing her pinkie finger with Suletta taking her pinkie finger out
"What are you waiting for ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki sighed and also took out his pinkie finger before Miorine grabbed it with her own and gestured Suletta to do the same. And that's what she did and the three fingers shook. 'Well , at least we don't have to prepare a wedding'-Akatsuki thought as both he and Suletta continue to follow Miorine
"We need a place where we can talked through the plan , without CCTV's. Any ideas ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki immediately knew the answer for that.
"Well , there is always my place. We can also get Suletta some normal clothes"-Akatsuki proposed as Miorine turned towards him
"I can't believe any student lives like this , when will you finally find yourself a house ?"-Miorine asked as the trio reached the TSC hangar.
"It still takes time , remind you that this is only the second day I'm here"-Akatsuki said as Suletta's attention was taken over by the TSC Mobile Suits and Barbatos AA that was currently in service since the last duel with Guel noticing something familiar with it. She took a glance at Akatsuki and Miorine's conversation and quickly rushed off to the mobile suit cage.
"Ok , now we can fully form the plan for the duel. Right Suletta ?"-Miorine asked turning towards where Suletta was
"She runned off somewhere"-Akatsuki said as he was trying to localize the redhead
"There she is !"-Miorine said as she pointed at the Barbatos AA cage and Suletta wrestling with some TSC mechanics. Akatsuki quickly rushed towards it with Miorine following him
"P-please l-let me go ! I-it's my friends s-suit !"-Suletta said between stutters as she was trying to find her way inside Barbatos's AA cockpit
"Suletta ! Hey guys let her go"-Akatsuki exclaimed as the two mechanics nodded as according to their boss.
"Suletta ! What the hell !?"-Miorine screamed and grabbed Suletta's arms before shaking her
"I-im sorry ! I-I only see something familiar in this mobile suit"-Suletta said as Miorine shot Akatsuki a look
"Well then , Akatsuki ! Show her the truth"-Miorine commanded him as Akatsuki nodded and opened the hatch revealing the cockpit. Suletta took a quick peak before jumping inside it. 'What the ? Its almost the same as Aerial , but narrower'-Suletta said as she tried to start up the basic systems.
"What the-oh ! How can you sit in something so uncomfortable !"-Suletta asked as the seat changed its position
"It's the optimal position for duelling , hell it's the regular chair. The professional one is still on Mars"-Akatsuki explained to her as Miorine was getting more annoyed
"It was also built by my mother , does it make it Aerial's older brother ?"-Suletta asked as Miorine had enough of it
"You can talk about your weird family connection though mobile suits later ! Right now we need to talk about our future !"-Miorine screamed at them as Suletta nodded and quickly turned off the basic reactor functions and refolded the seat back to its resting position before leaving the cockpit and looking at Barbatos AA's head 'Who are you ? What are you ?'-She thought as she followed Akatsuki and Miorine to the tiny room that served the role of Akatsuki's bedroom.
"Welcome in , make yourself at home"-Akatsuki said as he opened the door to the tiny room. Suletta could only put a fake smile on her face while Miorine remained completely honest
"You know that we do have accommodations for homeless students right ? Those are Spartan standards even for someone who isn't associated with the Benerit Group"-Miorine said as Akatsuki sat on his bed
"Hey ! I thought we were here to talk about our plan for the duel !"-Akatsuki asked as Miorine shrugged and also sat on his bed with Suletta taking look at some of the clothes that were laying inside open boxes
"The plan is simple , from what we know the Jeturk House won't use the regular Dilanza , i expect some high-end variant. Suletta will immediately focus on taking it out with those drones"-Miorine said as Akatsuki immediately corrected her
"They are called GUND-bits"-Akatsuki said as Miorine shot him a venomous look
"Nevermind , Akatsuki will be waiting on the bench if Suletta won't be able to put a dent on it"-Miorine said as Akatsuki again lifted his hand
"Wasn't that supposed to be a 1-on-1 duel ?"-Akatsuki asked as Miorine facepalmed
"It will be , but we on the other hand have a second suit waiting if the first one fails. If thats possible and my old man didnt set us up"-Miorine said looking at Suletta who quickly shied away
"E-excuse me"-Suletta shyly asked as both Akatsuki and Miorine shot a look at her
"What's wrong Suletta ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta took out some of the Akatsuki's TSC fatigues
"C-can I change ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki blushed before nodding and quickly left the room. As he stood outside Ride walked up to him
"Hey Akatsuki ! What's with the people that keep telling me that you brought two girls here ? Couldn't you at least find someplace comfy for a three-way ?"-Ride asked as Akatsuki turned crimson
"UNCLE RIDE ! It's not like that ! We only came here for , homework"-Akatsuki exclaimed out loud as Ride looked at him with a "You Serious ?" Expression. That was until he heard knocking on his door before revealing Suletta wearing Akatsuki's clothes , Ride managed to hold his chuckle as Suletta also blushed before grabbing Akatsuki's arm and pulling him in.
"Don't forget protection !"-Ride jokingly said before he left to continue his work
"W-ow , y-you look good i-in it"-Akatsuki said blushingly as Suletta replied with stutters and blushing with Miorine only letting out a tired sigh
"Oh, get a room ! Anyways we have the plan ready , meet me tomorrow at the greenhouse for the last details ok ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki and Suletta nodded before she left the tiny room
"Im afraid"-Suletta silently whispered
"What ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta only shied away from him
"I'm afraid that I won't do it. I mean , Jeturk probably has tons of experienced pilots and I just saved miners on Mercury"-Suletta said as Akatsuki shrugged
"Ah come on , you didn't come here just to shy away like this. Think about your list , those lunches and study sessions , hell even those dates"-Akatsuki said as a lightbulb as red as mars lit up in his head
"Oh I know , we can have a little contest ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta looked at him with a curious expression
"A contest ?"-She asked as Akatsuki smiled
"Yep , since we both have small experience in romance I thought we could come up with a challenge. That is who will be the first person to go on a date with someone. The only rule is that it can't be neither of the fiancés , so I can't go with you or you cannot go with me , deal ? But only if you will kick Jeturk's ass tomorrow"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta looked at his extended hand and after a good minute of thinking she took it
"Great , you can keep the clothes. Now get some sleep and see ya tomorrow"-Akatsuki said as Suletta got up and nodded
"Wait , before I go can we exchange numbers ?"-She asked him as Akatsuki nodded and with the touch of their notebooks they did exactly that.
"Ok , now you are free , besides i also need some sleep"-Akatsuki said as he released a jaw cracking yawn
"Right ! See you tomorrow !"-Suletta exclaimed as she left the room and jolted towards the elevator. Akatsuki only laid his head on the pillow of his bed , smiling in his success. 'You see that Mama ? I didn't need your help , I've done that myself ! Well Miorine had to convince her father but still I helped !'-Akatsuki thought as he got up from his bed and took a walk to Barbatos's AA cage to take a quick look at freshly-fixed mobile suit
"Thanks Barbatos , looks like we got into something that's out of our league , but you were always an underdog right ? Like with my dad and now with me. But for now good night"-Akatsuki said returning to his room for some good old slumber time
"Good Morning Asticassia ! The Demon Incarnate is ready for another day !"-Akatsuki exclaimed out loud as he parked his scooter on the parking spot and rushed towards the school building with a black Katana saya attached to his backpack. As he walked in he felt better than yesterday , the shyness and fear for Suletta disappeared , he became more confident , happy , and bold in terms of conversations. He said few hellos and even talked with some house representatives that wanted him in their house but he always tried to come up with some excuse saying that he will think about it , he even talked with some girls that wanted to ask him out for a date but always declined or came up with a different excuse for why he didn't want to go out. 'Even though Miorine told you you're free'-he thought as he searched for Suletta to head to the first class. And after few minutes of walking he did exactly that
"Morning Suletta !"-Akatsuki said as he walked towards her
"Oh ! Morning Akatsuki !"-Suletta exclaimed as she bowed to him much to Akatsuki's disapproval
"I think we should have a different signal of our friendship"-Akatsuki said as Suletta frightently nodded
"L-like what ? A-a highfive ? A hug ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki also pondered about it
"How about a fistpump of friendship ?"-Akatsuki asked taking out his right hand revealing his good luck charm
"Oh ! Ok !"-Suletta said as she reached out her fist that Akatsuki hit with his own but Suletta couldn't take her look off the charm he had on his hand. But before she could ask Nika came towards them
"Suletta ! Akatsuki ! Good morning !"-Nika said as Suletta again bowed
"T-t-thank you for th-"-But before she could say anything she was cut off by Nika
"I saw the duel two days ago ! You and your mobile suit were incredible ! What wave structure does it use to control the components ? Is it conceptual ? Or does it work on the GUND Format like the Gundam Barbatos AA ? Speaking of Barbatos I wanted to apologize for yesterday Akatsuki !"-Nika said as Akatsuki nodded
"Eh no problem , just please tell that pink-haired girl I don't want any trouble , just because i'm a Spacian doesn't mean I can fly or shoot lasers"-Akatsuki replied as Nika turned towards Suletta awaiting answers
"My mother said something about using different waves , but Aerial is not a Gundam ! Gundam Barbatos AA is a Gundam but not Aerial !"-Suletta exclaimed as Nika took notes and tried to come up with answers herself. But as Suletta wanted to say anything a familiar voice cut them off
"Hey Mercury bitch ! Our duel was annulled ! This time we will finish it once and for all"-Guel exclaimed as he alongside Petra , Felsi and Lauda were walking through the corridor. Suletta quickly hid behind Akatsuki who didn't know if he wanted to take the defensive position and reach out for his sword or to wait though the situation
"D-does t-that m-mean t-that m-my opponent will be-"-Suletta who was hiding behind Akatsuki was quickly cut off by Guel
"That's right , me"-Guel finished as Suletta let out a sigh
"That's a relief"-she silently added
"RELIEF !?"-Guel roared as Suletta grabbed the handle of Akatsuki sword while snuggling deeper into his backpack
"W-well I d-defeated you o-once already , a-and Akatsuki can help me"-Suletta said as Guel shot a look them
"Do not flatter yourself, you country bumpkin ! And me and Augus have a deal to duel on equal terms !"-Guel exclaimed as Suletta quickly jumped away from Akatsuki and bowed
"I think I should leave !"-Suletta exclaimed as Akatsuki was left alone
"Hey ! Suletta ! Wait for me !"-Akatsuki said as he rushed after her before finding her in the classroom where another lecture about technology overview and history took place. Akatsuki loved those lessons but as he walked inside the classroom he found Suletta but to his surprise no Miorine. As he found himself a spot next to Suletta. He said all the hi's and hellos and sat beside Suletta before he unpacked all his stuff. But Suletta's attention was on the charm on Akatsuki's hand
"W-what's that ?"-Suletta asked pointing at his right hand
"What's what ? Ah this ! This is a good luck charm made by my mother ! I wear it both in and out of cockpit"-Akatsuki said as the teacher walked in and the lecture started , they continued talking about the mobile machines from the Calamity Conflict. Akatsuki took all the notes and listen to the teacher as much as he could. Suletta meanwhile was shooting glances at both her notebook , Akatsuki , and the teacher. 'Why does he carry a sword to school ?'-She thought as she continued to share her looks between the teacher and Akatsuki
"Ok , a bit more"-Akatsuki said as he poured the water on the date seed as he checked how much water was left. 'Well then , now its time for something more fun'-Akatsuki thought as he grabbed his backpack and walked out of the greenhouse
"Where are you going ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki turned towards her
"I'm just going to stretch my legs , I'll be close to the door"-Akatsuki replied as Miorine shrugged that he deducted it as a sign of approval. As he felt his shoes touching the grass he took off his jacket and took out his Katana out of its saya . 'Ok , battle stance , breath in , breath out and Hidari-Kesagiri !'-Akatsuki thought as he sent a downward diagonical cut to the left. And for the next ten minutes he practiced all the techniques with some his self-taught moves added , and that was until someone brought him out of his trance by a tap to the shoulder that Akatsuki replied with pointing his Katana at the supposed attacker that turned out to be Suletta
"Ah ! I-im sorry for scaring you Akatsuki !"- Suletta said, holding two fertilizer bags. Akatsuki only sighed
"No , I'm sorry. I'm always getting in some trans whenever im training"-Akatsuki replied before putting his Katana back to its holster
"Could you please not poke Suletta's eyes out with this overgrown knife ? She needs them for today's duel "-Miorine asked as Akatsuki frowned before quickly showing her his tongue. Suletta took the bags and set them in front of the entrance to the greenhouse
"I'll leave the bags here"-Suletta added as Miorine checking on the tomatoes
"You can bring them here"-She said as Suletta smiled
"I can come inside ?"-She asked as Miorine nodded
"Come on in , since someone is too busy playing with his toy"-Miorine said as Akatsuki shot another look
"Does this mean you are also my friend ?"-Suletta asked grabbing her knees excited before Miorine looked at her with a tired look
"What ? If you lose this duel its Game Over for all three of us"-Miorine explained as Suletta apologized
"Suletta Mercury"-A familiar voice broke the tension as Akatsuki turned towards the source of it to see Elan
"Oh E-Elan was it ? I w-wanted to thank you for"-Suletta tried to say as she was cut off by Elan
"I'm here with an invite for you , and I have a message for Akatsuki Augus. You are being called by the duelling committee"-Elan said as Suletta and Akatsuki looked at each other before nodding
"Well then , give him the best prep talk you can Miorine !"-Akatsuki said before putting on his school uniform jacket back and making his way towards the committee room
"A committee ?"-Suletta asked as Miorine turned towards her
"he is one of their members , and Akatsuki is the chairman as the Holder"-Miorine said as Suletta continued looking at Elan
"I couldn't find a way to contact you , and since you and Akatsuki Augus spent a lot of time together I searched for both of you , maybe we can exchange numbers ?"-Elan asked as Suletta nodded and with a brief touch of their notebooks their numbers appeared on its screens
"The number 12 on my list checked out again"-Suletta whispered
"List ?"-Elan asked
"Exchange numbers with someone .I wanted to do that when I went to school"-Suletta shyly said
"What's on it ?"-Elan asked
"Making friends , calling them nicknames"-Suletta was quoting before being cut off
"Going on dates"-Miorine cut her off as Suletta blushed
"Miorine !"-Suletta screamed blushing
"I hope you will do all the things on it"-Elan said
"Um hello ?"-Akatsuki said opening the door to reveal Shaddiq
"Oh , Akatsuki , we're only 20 minutes from initiating the duel pact. And as the new Holder we expect you to take up that responsibility"-Shaddiq said as Akatsuki nodded while taking a look across the lounge. Ryojui was sitting on the couch doing research while Guel was impatiently waiting for Suletta , he couldn't find Secelia though
"Ok , and how im I supposed to do that ?"-Akatsuki asked as Shaddiq chuckled
"Luckilly someone volunteered to teach you that , Secelia ?"-Shaddiq asked as Akatsuki felt something on his back , TWO things on his back making him crimson
"Okay , I'll show Marsboy the process. Give us a few minutes and I'll prepare him just fine"-Secelia said, grabbing Akatsuki by his hand and taking him to a secluded place in the lounge.
"C-couldn't we do that somewhere more public ?"-Akatsuki asked blushing as Secelia only grinned and chuckled
"Aww , you never were alone, secluded with a girl, did you Marsboy ? Fine , I'll make it quick. Just hold on and don't burst"-Secelia said as Akatsuki was close to fainting while Secelia continued to chuckle. 'Is he really 17 ? He seems more innocent than a nun ! It makes me feel soft for him. He is kinda like Ryouji but much more open about his emotions'-Secelia thought as Akatsuki now seemed to lose breath before Secelia finally let go of him.
"Ok , take out your two hands"-She said as Akatsuki nodded and did exactly as Secelia commanded
"Well then , now we have to cut to the dumb bureaucracy. You have to say 'Both parties, deposit your souls on Libra's scales"-Secelia said as Akatsuki nodded and recited silently the phrase
"Ok , what now ?"-Akatsuki asked as Secelia released an "Aha !" before putting her finger up
"You say who will duel and on what arena will take place , like this one will take place on the area 7. The rules of the duel like 3-1 , 1-1 etcetera , you ask for the objections. If someone says yes then screw it and if someone says no than proceed further"-Secelia said as Akatsuki lifted up his hand causing Secelia's amusement to proceed even higher 'We're not in a class , but its adorable so i agree on it'-She thought as she nodded accepting his question
"What to do if someone objects ? Like I ask them and they say no ?"-Akatsuki asked as Secelia chuckled in amusement
"Well , it's simple. You ask them why ? Either that or I'll tease them enough for them to finally agree to not become an embarrassment for entire school to see"-Secelia said as Akatsuki got confused for a second before Secelia put her hand on his arm causing Akatsuki to blush
"Cheer up Marsboy ! I wouldn't tease you , I would be an idiot to tease my own boss. Besides I had to put up with Guel and much to a lesser extent Shaddiq and Elan so having someone normal is a nice breath of fresh air , anyways you ask each participants to put something on the shawls. Like the princess told you that you can bet everything. And after all done is done you say "Alea iacta est" and unite your hands before saying that the duel is approved , and that's all . Got it ?"-Secelia asked as Akatsuki counted on his fingers
"Y-Yes ! Thank you , Miss S-Secelia ?"-Akatsuki asked as Secelia chuckled
"It's just Secelia , and you prefer the term Marsboy or to call you Akatsuki ?"-Secelia asked as Akatsuki's blush retracted to just his cheeks
"M-Marsboy seems fine , as l-long as it's not supposed to be racist"-Akatsuki said as Secelia chuckled putting her finger on his jacket zipper
"Just because Guel was calling you a rat doesn't mean we are all racist. Besides like I said you are too adorable to tease like that"-Secelia said riding her finger across the zipper towards his chin causing his blush to reappear
"Oh ! I believe Suletta should be any soon , thank you Secelia !"-Akatsuki said as he rushed back to main lounge leaving puzzled Secelia. 'Hmm , Akatsuki Augus. I think I'll stick around you for some time'-She thought
"Welcome to the Duelling Committee Lounge , I am Shaddiq Zenelli , its nice to meet you Mercury lady"-Shaddiq said walking up to Suletta before taking her hand. Suletta could only bow
"The s-same"-Suletta replied in a stuttering tone and tried to locate Akatsuki who was sitting on the couch next to Ryouji and staring at the floor memorising everything Secelia taught him. And that was before she noticed Guel and immediately hid herself by crouching causing Elan's head to look to the floor
"Can we start ?"-Elan asked as Suletta looked up to him
"What ?"-She asked
"The duel pact , Akatsuki ?"-Shaddiq asked as Akatsuki peaked from the couch
"Yes ? Is it the time ?"-Akatsuki asked
"Right answer , its your time to shine"-Shaddiq replied as Akatsuki swallowed air before being pushed on his legs by Secelia
"Come on Marsboy"-She whispered to his ear as Akatsuki blushed before he walked towards the screen. Guel and Suletta walked up towards him as the screen turned on covering the window
"Both parties, deposit your souls on Libra's scales, the duel will be between Guel Jeturk and Suletta Mercury. The duel will take place on the area 7 , the duel will be 1-on-1 combat rule. Does anyone have any objections ?"-Akatsuki recited on an automatic tone with Secelia silently clapping in the distance. Both Suletta and Guel said no as Akatsuki continued the process
"Suletta ? What are you putting on the scale ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta turned to him. 'God dang it Akatsuki ! Why do you to make so hard !?'-She thought
"According to rules you have to put something on the line: Money , apologizes , women"-Shaddiq recited
"You always put women"-Guel countered annoyed
"Im not such an asshole ! Besides I know they will try to win them back"-Shaddiq replied as Suletta looked who didn't know what to say to him before looking towards Secelia who unfolded her arms with "Don't ask me its normal look"
"Suletta ? What are you putting ?"-Akatsuki asked again
"Y-yes ! A-apologises to M-Miorine"-Suletta said Akatsuki nodded
"Ok , what about you ?"-Akatsuki asked turning to towards Guel
"The same as before"-Guel replied.
"Alea iacta est , the duel is approved"-Akatsuki said finally uniting his hands causing the screen to turn off revealing the window
"You should be happy Guel ! Having important parents means you can annul a duel ? Well part of it. But if you lose now you won't have any excuses. If I was you I would bail out"-Secelia teased him as Akatsuki chuckled. 'That was a good one Secelia'-Akatsuki thought
"If you want to duel me Secelia , than just say it !"-Guel roared as Secelia chuckled
"It's only a proposition ! Besides Marsboy over here will probably be happy to duel if i ask , right ?"-Secelia asked as Akatsuki blushed
"I was only joking ! Besides, it would probably be very one sided , since Marsboy does hide a big demon inside him. In more ways than one probably , besides I don't want your company's notes to continue decreasing. Or maybe it is too late ?"-Secelia added the tiny remark on the end while Akatsuki blushing from the comment Secelia made and angering Guel who begun to walk up towards her
"Stop it please ! You s-shouldn't laugh a-at someone who i-isnt running ! And A-Akatsuki is going to faint soon !"-Suletta exclaimed as Akatsuki continued to blush. 'Being defended by a girl ? That's a new low. But why on the 72 demons I was bestowed with a curse of blushing ? I was only kissed once ! I'm not a pervert ! But gotta admit Secelia is pretty gorgeous , same as Suletta in her own cute wa-NO ! STOP IT AUGUS ! DISCIPLINE ! WAY OF THE SWORD !'-He thought as he decided to change the topic of the conversation
"So , at what hour does the duel start ?"-Akatsuki asked as everyone looked at him
"Oh , we start at 13:45 hours. And as the Holder you have the choice to be the witness"-Shaddiq said as Akatsuki took a look across the room to find a replacement , since he wanted to help Miorine with a final prep talk
"Elan , I know that its sudden but can you be the witness ?"-Akatsuki asked as Elan nodded
"I don't have time for this"-Guel said walking up to the elevator with Suletta following him
"You're not going ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki shrugged before bending to her ear
"I will meet you at the school canteen , I'll give you a final prep talk and some tips about him. Don't worry , as a pro my personal opinion is that you will defeat him in a swift cut. Now a fist pump of friendship ?"-Akatsuki asked as he retracted back to see nodding Suletta with her fist extended that Akatsuki pressed with his. Suletta jolted to the elevator that just arrived taking her and Guel down. Meanwhile Akatsuki just wanted to have a break and sat on the couch exhausted.
"Excuse me , Akatsuki ?"-Shaddiq asked as Akatsuki lifted up his head
"Eh yes ?"-Akatsuki asked
"You need to fill out some documents for me and for the committee"-Shaddiq asked taking Akatsuki for a short walk to finish off the remaining formalities. Meanwhile Ryouji finished his research
"Secelia , I gathered the information you asked me"-Ryouji said as Secelia hugged him from behind and grabbed his notepad
"Ok , family background , mobile suit success , oh , relationships with Tekkadan"-Secelia said out loud as she scrolled though pictures with one of them grabbing her attention , that would be a picture of young Mikazuki back in his piloting days as teenager
"Oh , it must be his father ! And they share the same hairdo , both like little hedgehogs !"-Secelia said as her enthusiasm disappeared by taking a closer look
"Are you satisfied ?"-Ryouji asked
"No , even if they look exactly the same there is something odd. Marsboy looks like a little kitten that was abandoned on a street , his father looks like he wants to kill me in various ways. Maybe it's in the eyes , Marsboy's are incredibly soft and large while his dad's are small and sharp like they know where to put a bullet hole in your body"-Secelia said as Ryouji looked at her
"Are you satisfied ? I want to return to collecting data on his mobile suit"-Ryouji asked as Secelia sighed
"No , I can't put a finger on it but it's just a breath of fresh air to see someone normal. He is kinda like you"-Secelia said as she hugged Ryouji from the behind
"I've told you that I'm not interested in this type of relationship"-Ryouji said as he looked at his notebook
"Yeah I know , but you're my best friend. And the only person who was keeping me sane while being in this stupid committee , it's just nice to see someone normal and complete innocent"-Secelia said as Ryouji's face remained stoic
"Perhaps coming onto him so close that he loses his breath isn't a good idea"-Ryouji told her
"It's not my fault he is adorable"-Secelia huffed
'Where are you Suletta ?'-Akatsuki thought as he found himself in the canteen looking for her. He grabbed himself a tray of food and walked through the tables remembering Shaddiq's words 'You are getting popular as a Holder, the problem is your homelessness. You should probably focus on finding yourself a house , they are probably killing each other over you. I even hear talks about recruitment in my house. Just call me if you will make a decision' -He remembered as he finally found Suletta alone playing with her food.
"Hey Suletta !"-Akatsuki said as he walked up towards her before sitting in front of her
"Oh , Akatsuki"-Suletta said as she ate her food
"Like I promised I'm here to give you a prep talk"-Akatsuki said as Suletta looked confused
"A prep talk ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki nodded
"Did you really excepted I would allow you to go out there all by yourself without any plan ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta looked confused for a second before nodding her head
"And that's a mistake , I took a look at the arena before I came here. It's a rocky terrain so there is a chance that he will try to surprise you , if Shin Sei put the same stuff in Aerial as they did with the Barbatos this could mean that it also has that early warning beeps"-Akatsuki said as Suletta counted every information that Akatsuki told her on her fingers
"Watch out on every corner got it ! Anything more ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki lifted up his finger
"Well , as we know Jeturk will probably use some incredibly buff and advanced mobile suit. And that means you have the high ground in terms of manoeuvrability and versatility. But please remember to not stand in one place , constantly on the move. You don't want to get stuck in a dead spot right ?"-Akatsuki rhetorically asked as Suletta turned her head
"No ! I want to stay here !"-Suletta exclaimed as Akatsuki smiled
"Good , and like you said before. You defeated him once , simply try using the same tactics and enhance them along with the fight circumstances. Classic rule of "Observe , Adapt and Overcome". Stick with it and you will win"-Akatsuki explained as Suletta nodded
"Thank you , Akatsuki"-Suletta said as Akatsuki showed a thumbs up
"No problem , shame that Miorine isn't here to tell you that"-Akatsuki said as Suletta looked down on the tray
"She , isn't so bad , its just-"-Suletta was cut off
"Like she is made out of ice ? And that she constantly acts like she wants to abandon you after she got what she wanted ?"-Akatsuki asked as Suletta wanted to counter it before she gave up
"She is not a bad person I can see that. I've seen numerous anime with those types of characters , I have a good feeling about her"-Suletta said as Akatsuki nodded his head
"It's pretty obvious that she isn't terrible , we simply gonna have to wait it off. We will help her and get her to earth , and I get why , it's beautiful down there"-Akatsuki said as he continued to eat his food
"Maybe , or she wants to escape her father ?"-Suletta asked him
"Well , from what I heard from her rants. I can't be totally angry at her"-Akatsuki said as Suletta nodded.
"And about that care in the duelling committee , is she your girlfriend ?"-Suletta asked blushing as Akatsuki turned crimson
"SULETTA !"-Akatsuki screamed as Suletta hid her face behind her hands
"I-im sorry !"-Suletta exclaimed while continuing to hide
"No , I'm sorry. And about Secelia , she isn't my girlfriend. To be completely honest I don't know what we are , it seems that she has something for me. She even kissed me on the cheek yesterday"-Akatsuki said as Suletta's face continued to be crimson
"S-She k-kissed you ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki let out a sigh
"On a cheek , I only kissed once on the mouth but that was two years ago"-Akatsuki said as his notebook begun to ring. And as he picked it up he was surprised that it was Miorine
"Miorine ?"-Akatsuki asked as on the other side of the phone Miorine was putting on a normal suit
"I need your help , I've sent you coordinates on the map. Meet me there in 20 minutes"-Miorine replied as Akatsuki looked confused
"And with what ?"-Akatsuki asked
"It's something that will help Suletta ! I can't do it alone so I ask you for your help"-Miorine said closing the call as Akatsuki opened the map on his notebook
"Listen , I gotta go help Miorine. But I won't leave you alone"-Akatsuki said as he took off his good luck charm from his right hand before giving it to Suletta
"But it was made by your mother , are you sure you want to borrow it to me ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki smiled
"I'm sure that it will bring you good luck , just put it on"-Akatsuki convinced her as Suletta did exactly how he told her. Suletta puzzled touched it
"Thank you , I'll put it under my piloting suit !"-Suletta said as Akatsuki winked at her
"Miorine ?"-Akatsuki said reaching the supposed place wearing a standard Asticassia normal suit and helmet. And as he walked he finally noticed the reason why he came here , the mobile suit cage. As he walked though watching the cage he noticed Miorine leaning on the balustrade
"There you are"-Miorine said as she watched the clock on her notebook. Akatsuki meanwhile remained confused why Miorine asked him to come here
"Can I ask why am I here instead of watching the duel in Lounge ?"-Akatsuki asked as Miorine sighed before turning towards Akatsuki
"You want to help Suletta right ? As a witness in a duel you can't be supporting one party entirely even with you being a Holder , and since Jeturk will try to do anything to win. Consider us as backup , since you can't use Barbatos at least we can keep our eyes on the duel"-Miorine said as Akatsuki couldn't do anything but agree with her. And in a blink of an eye the alarm on the notebook started to ring as the whole ground begun to shake
"Oops !"-Akatsuki thought as he grabbed the balustrade. Miorine meanwhile remained stoic as Aerial appeared before being attached to the mobile suit cage. She took out her notebook and called Suletta
"Oh , Miorine"-Suletta said as she was sitting inside the Aerial's cockpit with Akatsuki's good luck charm on her right hand. Meanwhile Akatsuki managed to pushed his head in the cadre
"Suletta ! Remembered what I told you !"-Akatsuki exclaimed out loud as Suletta rapidly nodded her head
"Y-yes sir !"-Suletta said as Miorine pushed away Akatsuki's helmeted head
"I'll remind you that our future depends on this duel , and don't forget about our agreement"-Miorine said as Akatsuki got up from his landing
"Have you told her about the oath ?"-Akatsuki asked getting his head back into the view
"Oh , and remember to say "Victory is never decided by the mobile suit performance alone , nor by the skill of the pilot alone. The result itself is only the truth" got it ?"-Miorine asked as Suletta nodded
"Y-yes"-She said as the transporter sent the Aerial towards Arena 7
"Good luck Suletta"-Akatsuki said out loud as he took out his own notebook to watch the duel
"By the agreement of both the parties , we will begin the duel. Like always the winner will be the one who will cut off the enemy suit's antenna. The witness will be Elan Ceres from the Peil House"-Elan said as both transporters opened to reveal the mobile suits.
"Walk out of the MS transporter and introduce yourself by your name and Student ID"-Miorine told Suletta as she did exactly how she instructed
"R-right ? LP041 , Suletta Mercury , Aerial , Launch !"-Suletta exclaimed as she jumped off from the transporter and immediately being sent on the edge. 'Just how Akatsuki told you'-She thought
"Both parties face off"-Elan as an awkward silence proceeded , meanwhile both Miorine and Akatsuki looked confused as they shared an "Eh ?"-look
"Suletta Mercury , say the oath"-Elan said though her coms
"Oath ?"-Suletta asked confused as Miorine was getting annoyed about the situation as Akatsuki decided to keep his poker face intact while cringing inside. 'They should just say 10 , 9 , 8 ,7 , 6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 Fix Release instead of a dumb oath. But it does sound cool so it contradicts why its dumb'-he thought
"I just taught and recited it to you !"-Miorine exclaimed as Suletta knew what she meant
"Y-yyes , V-victory i-is ne-never d-ecided by the m-mobile sui-it p-performance alone"-Suletta said in a stuttering tone trying to remember the oath as Guel was becoming more and more visibly angry
"Nor by the skill of the pilot alone"-Guel quickly recited his part
"The result itself is the only truth"-Both of them of recited as the holographic arena formed around them
"Fix release"-Elan said stoically as Suletta immediately jolted forward before jumping from the cliff.
"I'll win and I'll stay in school together with Miorine and Akatsuki !"-Suletta said inside the cockpit as she looked at Akatsuki's good luck charm before the GUND-bits detached from Aerial and two of them combined with the bit-rifle to rain Guel's mobile suit with beams. And as one of the Haro cameras recorded the suit Akatsuki had a déjà vu 'A Darilbalde ? Jeturk Jupiter built one for the M/J Grand Prix two years ago but that was just a prototype ? It will be tougher than I thought'-he thought
"This is just a decoy ! Those pseudo-drones are flying from 3 AM Ah !-"Guel quickly cut himself off as the Darilblade quickly escaped its cover and made its way towards Aerial as Suletta continued to rain it with beam fire but the Darilblade was to quick and agile before it threw its double edged beam lance that Suletta quickly deflected it with her bit-shield. 'Always on the move'-she remembered as she turned around to send a beam at the weapon before it jolted towards her as Suletta dodged it before looking up to see the Darilblade
"What was that ?"-She asked as she fired a beam at the Darilbalde
"She will get me !"-Guel exclaimed as the steering yokes suddenly jolted In a way that the Darilblade hid itself from the beam leaving only a small paint scratch. 'This Nanolaminate-half metal combination coating is incredible'-he thought
"He dodged it ?!"-Suletta exclaimed out loud
"This isn't the Dilanza ?"-Miorine said as Akatsuki nodded
"That's the Darilbalde , Jeturk's golden child. Fought a prototype that had the GUND Format , it was a pain in the ass. But it can be defeated , we can only watch and wait"-Akatsuki said as Miorine looked at him with a curious look. 'A gardening enthusiast and a mobile suit encyclopaedia ? Should've been expecting it from him'-she thought. Suletta meanwhile was zooming in on the Darilbalde from her safe spot
"He uses a different Mobile Suit ?"-Suletta asked
"It means they are serious , and according to Akatsuki over here it's really serious , don't leave your guard open and do exactly as Akatsuki said !"-Miorine said as the Darilbalde split its beam spear into two beam swords and two elements of the armour detached to form shields before jumping up. Suletta covered the suit with a fire staying constantly in movement but the Darilblade continued with an onslaught using its beam weapons with them combining back into a double edged spear midflight also giving Suletta's shield some work. Meanwhile inside of the Darilbalde's cockpit Guel finally let go of the yokes to see that the AI system supposedly installed by the Jeturk house mechanics was doing entire work for him , like it was set on autopilot , he felt disgusted that his father had to resolve to such a trick , instead of giving him a second chance
"Father , does this mean you don't need me ?"-Guel asked hopelessly watching the mobile suits yokes wiggle around doing the work for him. And as he looked at them the fire extinguishing system suddenly activated spitting water everywhere , Akatsuki went pale as his biggest nightmare in a duel came to fruition , rain
"Water ? Everyone knows that the beams disrupt themselves when they fuse with water !"-Akatsuki exclaimed as Suletta also noticed that
"It fell apart , it's raining ?"-Suletta asked as the committee was also surprised
"Extinguishing system ?"-Shaddiq asked
"Yes , no beam weapon will work in these conditions"-Ryouji explained
"What a shame , this time luck turned to my side !"-Guel exclaimed as the Darilbalde combined back its beam weapons to form the beam spear and jumped at the Aerial. Suletta quickly countered that attack with a beam saber. Meanwhile in the hangar cages Akatsuki was watching the fight on his notebook and trying to come up with a solution to help Suletta
"The system should turn on unless there was an emergency. Those Jeturk bastards , have they really pushed this hard ?"-Miorine said as meanwhile Suletta was trying to hold her own against Guel in the beam struggle before the Darilbalde cut off Aerial's arm. Miorine decided that enough was enough and contacted the Lounge
"Pause the Duel ! Resume it when you fix the system error !"-She exclaimed as Akatsuki thought the same thing
"She's right ! For god's sake pause it ! Im a holder right ? I have that right probably"-Akatsuki added pushing his head next to Miorine's
"The duels don't recognize the even rule"-Elan said in his stoic voice
"What ?!"-Miorine exclaimed
"Both the mobile suits and the support personnel , are dependent on the students patron , even if it was pre-planned. We can consider it his trump card"-Elan said as Miorine turned to Akatsuki and came up with an idea before looking down to see a special maintaince mobile worker
"So we can be Suletta's trump card right ?"-Miorine asked as jumped towards Akatsuki
"You can pilot that right ?"-She asked pointing at the worker as Akatsuki only grinned
"I can pilot anything"-He replied as Miorine nodded
"Good"-She she said as they made their way towards the staircase that lead down to the mobile worker. 'Hey there , im Akatsuki'-he thought as he and Miorine climbed into the cockpit before Akatsuki activated it with his notebook and turned on all the systems.
"Suletta , can you hear me ? We're going to turn off the cooling system , hold on until that !"-Miorine exclaimed as Akatsuki pressed pedal to the metal and went exactly where Miorine's finger told him to
"What , but how ?"-Suletta asked as Akatsuki quickly got the grip of the control as Miorine seemed to barely hold on
"I don't care ! Just do it"-Miorine said the comms cut off
"Where will those tunnels take us ?"-Akatsuki asked as he barely dodged hitting the tunnel walls
"That old man , I won't so that everything will go your way ! Grab onto one of the trains quickly !"-Miorine ordered Akatsuki as he nodded and after quickly checking all the controls managed to do it. Meanwhile Suletta's situation wasn't so narrow
"Hold on , easier said than done"-Suletta said continuing to dodge Darilbalde's attacks
"Suletta Mercury , if you really are a witch , you can overcome this situation"-Elan said as Suletta took the Darilbalde's attack with her shield
"I'll hold on , I'll hold on , I'll hold on , I'll hold on , I'LL HOLD ON !"-Suletta exclaimed as she cut off the Darilbalde's arms before throwing away Aerial's beam saber. The Darilbalde didn't give up just yet firing the remains of its arms at Aerial that quickly managed to dodge it
"The duel is finished"-Shaddiq said
"In the end the winner is the one with bigger backing"-Secelia added. 'Shame that it isn't Marsboy , he would've finish it in minutes. I wonder what he is doing right now ?'-She thought
"He almost had her !"-Felsi exclaimed watching the duel on her notebook
"Goddamn it she dodged again !"-Petra added as meanwhile in the mobile worker Akatsuki was shocked at what he heard
"You want to ram straight at them ?"-Akatsuki asked as he let go of the train watching Miorine's nodding head
"Do you have a better idea ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki snuggly smirked and looking at what they were supposed to do Miorine did exactly the same
"Well then , as the Japanese suicide runners said , Tenno Heika Banzai !"-Akatsuki exclaimed ramming the mobile worker straight into the room Felsi and Petra were residing. As they landed Akatsuki stared the two girls down from the cockpit
"Evening ladies , consider this a hostile takeover !"-Akatsuki exclaimed as Miorine was a lot more serious about the situation then he
"I knew you were both behind it !"-Miorine exclaimed
"The Martian demon and Miorine ?!"-Petra screamed surprised
"Mobile Worker ? That's not fair !"-Felsi added
"Who says it ?! Akatsuki ?"-Miorine asked sarcastically as Akatsuki closed his eyes and nodded
"As you wish , and ladies the correct term is "Demon Incarnate" ."-Akatsuki replied in an equal tone using the Worker's manipulators to detain the girls by putting them close to the ground immobilizing them . Miorine jumped out of the cockpit with Akatsuki following her, Miorine quickly got to work with the system turning it off
"It stopped raining ?"-Suletta asked confusedly
"Suletta , now you only need to take the victory"-Miorine said as both she and Akatsuki were looking at her
"Thank you , thank you both ! Aerial ! It's our turn"-Suletta commanded taking a look at the good luck charm she had on her right hand as Aerial's GUND-bits detached from it and immediately flew at the Darilbalde showering it with rapid fire. And after series of attacks the Darilbalde was sitting on the ground
"Don't tell me you got caught by such a bobby trap !"-Guel exclaimed as an image of his father appeared on his notebook
"Guel ! What are you waiting for !? Finish her immediately !"-Vim exclaimed angry as he watched his plan fall threw his hands
"Father ? Why ? You were the one behind the extinguishing system ? Why are not believing in me ?!"-Guel asked angry
"Destroy that Gundam if you want my trust !"-Vim countered
"You think that without using a trick I won't win ?"-Guel asked
"You act like a kid , the result itself is the only truth !"-Vim roared
"Focus on the duel brother !"-Lauda exclaimed
"You are also on the father's side !"-Guel roared as the two arm pieces returned back to the arm parts
"Don't you understand that this duel isn't only for you ?! Kids should be listening to their parents !"-Vim screamed at him
"Shut the fuck up !"-Guel screamed punching his notebook turning off the Darilbalde's ai system
"Error ? Who cares ?"-Suletta asked as she jumped at the Darilbalde before it turned on back on with Guel using the manual control before activating two beam sabers in the Darilbalde's arms to counter Aerial's beam saber struggle
"This is my duel ! Mine and only mine !"-Guel roared as he activated the propulsion system and begun to push Aerial back.
"He move completely differently"-Suletta said as she managed to flip the Darilbalde before it fired to hooks from its feet attaching them to the Aerial trying to toss it around. Suletta quickly cut off one of the cords before jumping off to one of the support pillars
"He is really strong , but me and Aerial won't lose ! Because-"-She jumped towards Guel
"Guel Jeturk won't be defeated so easily !"-Guel roared turning towards Aerial
"I have so many points to check on my list !"-Suletta exclaimed as finally managed to tackle the Darilbalde before landing several meters away from it. As the smoke had fallen it revealed Darilbalde's head without an antenna , Suletta had won
"Hell yeah ! Way to go Suletta !"-Akatsuki exclaimed as he happily jumped in zero gravity happily. Miorine could only look at him tiredly before letting out a sigh and as she watched him she for the first time did something unbelievable , she smiled at him
"Looks like our job is done , good work Suletta"-Miorine said as she relaxed in her chair completely ignoring the comments of two Jeturk girls that were stuck under Mobile Worker's manipulators. Suletta meanwhile was breathing rapidly as something that felt like litres of sweat we're falling from her forehead. And out of her semi catatonic state her notebook took her out with a message from Elan , and in a blink of an eye tons of other messages followed
"M-Miorine ! There are thousands of messages in my notebook ! Millions ! Hundreds of thousands !"-Suletta rapidly exclaimed as Akatsuki chuckled while Miorine let out a tired sigh
"Why did you turn on the full access ? I told you to only allow the known numbers , we won. And nobody can throw you out !"-Miorine said changing her tone to a happy
"So all four of us are safe ?"-Suletta asked as she let out a sigh
"Exactly ! Good for you old man !"-Miorine said in a laughing voice before suddenly putting her arm over Akatsuki's shoulder in a brief state of blissfulness
"It's great , right Mio-Mio ?"-Suletta asked breaking the atmosphere with Miorine pushing Akatsuki away
"EH ?"-Miorine asked as Suletta immediately hid behind her hands
"Im sorry !"-She loudly exclaimed
"What the hell is a Mio-Mio ?"-Miorine asked visibly annoyed
"Coming up with a nickname is the first thing on my list , it's cute isn't it ?"-Suletta asked
"Never in my lifetime , it's terrible"-Miorine washed away Suletta's hopes with cold water
"How about-"
"No !"-Miorine quickly cut off Suletta
"I didn't even say anything. What about you "Suki" ?"-Suletta asked taking her approval to her second fresh new fiancé instead
"Don't agree on it ! Don't mock your pride like that"-Miorine tried to persuade him as Akatsuki smiled
"Well , I'm already "Marsboy" so I can be "Suki". If it will make you happy Suletta"-Akatsuki replied as Miorine shrugged before it turned into an argument about pride but Suletta couldn't stop being happy. She was safe , she still had Aerial , she could stay in school with Aerial and her best friend and friendship in construction. But Suletta's blissful state of happiness was cut off as she noticed Guel who climbed out of the Darilbalde's cockpit. 'What does he want to tell me ?'-Suletta thought as she took off her helmet and opened the hatch before using Aerial's remaining hand to get herself on the ground before she stood in front of him
"Listen , i-im sorry ! I underestimated you ! You were really good"-Suletta said as she extended her hand for a hand shake. Guel only looked at her with his mouth gaping open as his eyes became glassy , he grabbed Suletta's hand with both of his own
"Suletta Mercury"-Guel asked while kneeling on his knee
"Will you marry me ?"-Those words echoed throughout the entire school as Akatsuki and Miorine's little arguments stopped as both of them had turned their faces towards each other with an "Eh ?" expression. Meanwhile at the same time students at not only the earth house but also the other houses and on corridors had the same expression as Miorine and Akatsuki. Except for Shaddiq and Secelia who only chuckled
"That , was a good one"-Shaddiq said between laughs as the situation in the Jeturk house wasn't so happy
"What the hell are you babbling about brother !?"-Lauda exclaimed
"I-am s-upossed to m-marry you !?"-Suletta asked as she was panicking more and more with every second passing just as Guel realized what he said
"Wait , it wasn't supposed to sound like that !"-He tried to immediately cover himself
"Never !"-Suletta exclaimed as she jumped inside the Aerial's cockpit before flying away. Akatsuki and Miorine only watched it both shocked and surprised
"Miorine ? What just happened ?"-Akatsuki asked not even turning towards her
"To be honest with you Akatsuki , I don't know"
CHAPTER 3 : END
CHAPTER 3 : EPILOGUE
"Hey ! What you cant just leave us here !"-Petra exclaimed as Akatsuki and Miorine looked down at the two Jeturk girls
"She's right ! Saboteurs or not saboteurs you can still get us to safety right ?"-Felsi asked as Miorine only let out a sigh
"Ehh ? I dont really know , what do you think Akatsuki ?"-Miorine asked as Akatsuki only grinned
"Well , you almost made my friend be thrown out of school. Not to mention you did nothing else but stand and laugh when Miorine's greenhouse was trashed"-Akatsuki explained as Miorine begun to climb into the Mobile Worker's cockpit
"But we fixed the entire greenhouse !"-Petra exclaimed as Akatsuki also begun to climb abort the Mobile Worker
"But you still didnt do nothing to stop Guel the first time"-Akatsuki explained as he managed to start-up the damaged machine
"In shorter words , find a way yourselves , or wait for the recovery crew"-Miorine finished as the Mobile Worker flew away from the area leaving Petra and Felsi stranded
A/N : Adaptation of Episode 3 , and yes , Akatsuki sat this one on the bench. But i can promise he will get his own 1-1 duel soon. I've also the developed the "Akaletta ?" "Sulletsuki ?" part of the series with a bit off "Jumping to the side" with Secelia. Because in my opinion under developing the Burion House and its members was one of the things that in my opinion was sadly ommited from the regular anime. Lets just say that in the next chapter they will have more of that nice developement. But now its Akatsuki and Suletta against the world or school , we will see next time how they will try to take their first exam. And as always i dont own Gundam. That franchise made to strip wallets for P-Bandai cash belongs to afformentioned Bandai and Sunrise
