14:- Crank Zent

"Of the remaining assets, looks like Maruba took most of the cash. Adding what we picked up in the battle, and calculating the amount the we're to receive into the budget..." said Dexter as he fixed his Glasses and showed the tablet to Orga, who was seated in front of him.

"I've never seen so much money." exclaimed Shino in Shock. He was standing behind Orga with Eugene beside him looking like Bodyguards. Biscuit was seated beside Dexter and Ichiro was sitting on a single sofa in the room, staring dangerously at Todo.

"Idiots, companies usually have this much." said Eugene but is interrupted by Dexter. "No. From that we subtract the severance pay. Mobile Worker repair and maintenance costs. After we take away all that... It becomes this." said Dexter and again showed the tablet to Orga .

"What can we do with this?" Eugene ask's as he is shocked by the money they have. "Even if we take out... " said Biscuit. "3 months would be the limit to stay in business." said Ichiro as he took a look on the Tablet. "Yes, preciously." said Dexter a bit impressed.

"We have to find work immediately or we won't be able to go on." said Orga. "But with our current situation, people will take advantage of us." said Biscuit his tone a bit low than usual.

"Hey, have you guys forgotten?" said Todo. Everyone looked at him. "What?" Shino asked. You made a total mess out of the Gjallahorn. This place is already in their target." said Todo in a cheeky voice as he pointed his nail clipper.

"W-We did hit them quite hard." said Eugene as reminisced about their fight. "That's a much bigger problem." Shino said as he clutched his hands. Todo pointed his nail clipper towards Orga and said in his punchable cheeky voice "So then. I have an idea." Both Eugen and Shino exclaimed in unison "Huh!."

"The reason they attacked is because of the cargo, Kudelia. right?" said Todo smiling he looked like Hitler's Teste.

( Ahm. Ahm Control control. Royan control)

"So what?" asked Orga acting ignorant of his plan. "We contact Gjallahorn from our side, and exhanged the Young Miss for money." said Todo again smilling like above. "What?" both Eugene and Shino said. "If we blame it all to Maruba, it can work." said Todo as he flapped his arm's like a chicken.

Eugene thought about this plan as he thought that it could work. Shino was asking Eugene what was he thinking. "You understand this, right. Boss? That our business we can't take off as long as Kudelia is with us." said Todo pointed his clipper at Orga. Orga was silent, as was Ichiro. "Orga, why are you hesitating? This is our only way." said Eugene asking for an answer.

Suddenly alarm rang all around the Base. Everyone got tensed. "Gjallahorn again?" said Biscuit . "Report from the lookout One Gjallahorn Mobile Suit. It's holding a red cloth and heading this way."

.

.

"So what's that?" asked Takakai as he looked through the Binoculars. "This is a challenge for a duel." said Old Man Nadi in an uncertain tone. "A duel?"

"I am Crank Zent of Gjallahorn's Front Line Troops. I wish to fight one on one with your representative." his voice amplifing due to the help of his mobilesuit. "Is he really serious about fighting." asked Shino his tone full of doubt.

"Who would have thought someone would seriously do it?" said Old Man not believing what was happening. Crant Zent's voice again reverbrated through the base. "If I win, I demand that the captured Graze, and Kudelia Aina Bernstein be handed over to us."

"They Young Miss." said Biscuit. "See what, I told you. Their target is the Young Miss." said Todo looking at Orga while pointing towards the mobile suit.

"Once the duel is settled and we receive the Graze and Kudelia, I will take care of everything from then on. I promise to end this grudge between CGS and Gjallahorn here and now." said Crank standing on the shoulder of his mobile suit far away from the base.

"What kind of condition is that?" asked Old Man Nadi shocked by this offer. "Even if we lose, he'll only take her and make them leave us alone?" said Eugene thinking of the offer made by Crank. "But what happen's to Kudelia then?" asked Biscuit his tone a bit worried.

A voice came from behind. "I will go. There is no need to fight. Everything is okay if I go, Right? Meaningless battles should be avoided." said Kudelia her tone full of determination and her eyes glowing with confidence. "That's right. How about you negotiate for some money too?" said the forever greedy sewer rat Todo.

"We don't know what will happen." said Orga his commanding voice settled down Todo and other's. "That's right", said Biscuit agreeing to Orga. "They tried to kill you" said Biscuit looking towards Kudelia.

"Many people have already died. And I do not plan on just dying. I will do my best to have them hear me." said Kudelia . Orga smiled impressed from her answer. "That's Impossible", said Biscuit. "Well, she is saying so herself. The Young Miss is a smooth-talker too..." before todo could say anymore Orga spoke.

"I'm not doing that. We can't tell how honest that man's word's are. I just can't easily believe him." "Mika! Can you do it?" asked Orga. "Okay." said Mikazuki his without any emotions. "Hey what is he going to do?" asked Eugene.

"You know what I meant. He's going to kill that man." said Orga answering to everyone's question's.

.

"Sorry to make you wait. We humbly accept your challenge." said Orga as his voice came out of the siren's of the CGS Base.

Old Man Nadi and other's including Yamagi and Takakai were getting Barbatos ready. Ichiro, Orga and Kudelia were staring at they were doing.

"If I use that so called Alaya Vijana System, will i be able to control that as I want. Then I can atleast by of some help to everyone." asked Kuderlia her eye's locked on Barbatos. "Don't do it." said Ichiro and continued " We were just Lucky.". "What?" asked Kudelia.

"10 kids including Ichiro, Mika and I had the surgery at the same time. It failed on 4 of them and they were hospitalized. They probably still can't get out of the bed. If they're still alive, that is." said Orga and continued. "Ichiro even was about to get hospitalized in his second one but some how he survived and his nervous system went 100% sync with the Alaya Vijana System. "said Orga reminiscing about the time when he was about to lose his friend.

"Mika had it three times... the surgery that is so risky. And of course, of his own free will." said Orga and Barbatos awaken. His awakening sending a trail of air throughout the base. "We're counting on you, Mika." said Orga.

"You know Kudelia. I don't like girl's like you." said Ichiro staring at Barbatos. Both Kudelia and Orga looked at him . "Why what did I do." asked Kudelia. "I don't know why." said Ichiro and started walking towards Old Man Nadi.
