Ramba Ral sighed as he took his hand away from the control panel, and the battle ended. He knew Goufs well enough to know that he did something far worse to her than prevent what would have been a severe beating. He hurt something far more precious than her flesh, her Pride. Ramba closed his eyes a moment and took a few calming breaths as Gouf Stood beside him. Her large prosthetic left hand closing, and opening slowly. Yet she didn't say anything. She knew her younger sister's pain. Yet, Gouf understood that her sister would bounce back. Would drive even harder to win next time.<br/><br/>Ramba Ral turned when he heard that the door open, and saw Char stepping in. The Combat instructor started talking about someone, and for a moment Ral was at a loss for whom he was speaking of. Though a glance out the control Room window would show that Strike Freedom, and Kyrios were approaching the departing form of Gouf(c). Meanwhile Gouf looked upon Char with disapproval at his current state. Though, from behind Char, ZakuII CC (Char Custom) poked her head out from around him, and glared at Gouf. She would then Pull down her Eye lid, and stuck her tongue out at Gouf. Causing the Girl to bristle in anger before a gentle hand came to rest upon the top of her head. Gouf took a breath to compose herself as she knew Ramba didn't want her to fight.<br/><br/>"Yes, I can see that she is taking more, and more after you, Char." Ramba stated as the control room mics were picking up the myriad of conversations. Ral's ears easily picking voice of both Strike Freedom, and Kyrios trying to console Gouf Custom. Though he figured that to the defeated girl, their words were more salt in a fresh wound than a soothing balm because they were Gundams.<br/><br/>When Char mused about having done Gouf, and the Ground Sisters a disservice for canceling the match and how Defeat accepted Gouf. Ral could only watch the girls down below. "Maybe. But maybe she could have won had I not interfered." Ral replied as he felt torn over what he had done.<br/><br/>Eitherway, he won't be able to stick around to watch the aftermath as his phone started to go off. Looking at it, he saw he had a summons to the Headmaster's office. "That is strange. Revil usually never summons anyone this way." Ramba muttered before slipping his phone back into his pocket, and looking at Gouf. She simply gave him a nod before Ramba started out of the Room. Though before they'll exit, Char would give Gouf a glance. "Blonde is certainly quite fetching on you, Miss Gouf. Did you dye it recently? And that style, isn't that how Haman normally styles her hair?" Char mused. Causing Gouf to have a hitch in her step. She would quickly recover, and continue to follow Ramba Ral while ZakuII CC let out a hissing laugh.<br/><br/><div align="center">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://img0.diarynote.jp/photo/l/20060820/60264_20060820225603.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Gouf Custom<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Colosseum<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kyrios, Strike Freedom, Open<br/><strong>Status:</strong>Not in the mood to be consoled.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>"WE DID IT! WE DID IT!" Gundam Ground type cheered as she embraced her two sisters, Ez8 and Ground-Chan. Ez8 smiled at her energetic sister, and three shared an embrace. Yet, Ez8 shared the same feeling as Gouf. That this fight wasn't conclusive, and that it ended prematurely. "We'll show them, 8-Chan! We'll show everyone we're<strong>not</strong>dressed up Mobile Suits. That we're<strong>Real</strong>Gundams." Ground-Chan exclaimed excitedly. Ez8 gave her a soft smile, and patted her on the head. "Yeah, Sure we will." She said softly before she was glomped again by her sisters in a bone crushing hug once more.<br/><br/>Gouf stopped as Strike Freedom descended from "On High", and landed before her with Kyrios just behind her. Causing Gouf to grind her teeth a bit in anger as the impression it was giving the MS Girl was that these Two were "Above" her, and were coming down to her level. Her red eyes steeled as Strike Freedom began to prattle about how impressed<em>She</em>was, and how so long  as Gouf never accepted defeat in her heart, she'll never be defeated. As the words fell upon Gouf, she ground her teeth more as she felt her "wounds" fester, and sizzle with the salt the Gundam was rubbing into her wounds. Even Kyrios would get in on the act and say how impressed she was, and how good Gouf did out there. That she didn't see that Gundams were superior to Mobile Suit girls. She would even go so far as to embrace Gouf. Causing the Blue girl to bristle, her hands closing into tight fists.<br/><br/>Gouf did not want to be consoled right now. Particularly NOT by a<em>Gundam</em>. Their words were coming off as them patronizing Gouf. It hurt. It was humiliating. And to make matters worse, Gouf could feel her emotions getting out of control. The carefully constructed outer veneer of "Cool Composure" that she works so hard to keep intact was crumbling. Ever since she was forced to watch Psycho's Neutralization, Gouf kept her emotions on a very tight leash. Now her grip was slipping, and she didn't want<em>anyone</em>to see that. the corner of her eyes stung as she knew tears of anger were trying to form  "Let. Go." She hissed at Kyrios before shaking her off, and making her way to the door once more.<br/><br/>"GOUF!" Gouf was almost to the door when someone called out to her. Gouf stopped, and looked over her shoulder, her red eyes glaring dangerously. It was Ez8, and she glared at Gouf with the same intensity. "Don't you dare think this fight means anything! We<em> will</em>beat you. Fair, and square without any outside interference." she announced. There was a moment of silence between the Rivals before Gouf's countenance lightened, and appeared to be returning to that stoic demeanor she normal held as she turned back to the exit, and disappeared through the door.<br/><br/>Ez8, and her sisters would approach Strike Freedom, and Kyrios. "Sorry you had to see that. Gouf should be fine after a while. But we don't like people interfering in our fights." Ez8 explained as she took in the other two gundams. She would then turn to Kyrios, and give her a warm smile. "Please don't think Ill of Gouf. She works<em>very</em>hard to get stronger cause she cares very much about everyone. Also, I agree with you. There is no difference between Mobile Suits, and Gundams. She stated with a soft smile.
