Episode 10:  Kyoufu! Bourei faitaa shuggen
                    (Fear! The Phantom Fighter Apparition)


        The first scene is at the desert and there's a sandstorm. Not far away the glow of fire is seen from a steel shelter. Inside three men are talking among themselves about the sightings of Da Harl and the Pharaoh Gundam IV when there was a sandstrom in the desert. Behind them was Neo-Egypt's Phraoh Gundam XIII. Then they hear something outside the shelter. Then the big doors opened letting in the sand. They see a mummy. The face is focussed you can see it's eyes. Then they see a Gundam behind the mummy which also has mummy wrappings around it. The gundam blows up the whole shelter.

        In the morning, Domon and Rain looks shocked to see the carnage left from last night and wondered what happened. Then Domon sees that one man is still alive. He slides down the sand to help the man and tells Rain to prepare. Domon asked the man what happened. But the man is still traumatized by what happened and rambled "he's dead and it couldn't be". Domon asked who. The man said Da harl. Then the man suddenly dies. Domon looked at the wrecked Gundam and notes that the cockpit was severely damaged. Then Rain called out to Domon, pointing not far away where there seems to be a fight. In a little sandstorm, the Dragon Gundam is fighting the mummy gundam hiding in the sandstorm. Sai tells his enemy to come out and fight. He slashes at the mummy gundam but the slash on the mummy gundam regenerated. The mummy gundam hits Dragon gundam's cockpit and punches its gut. Domon and Rain fly close to the fighters in the core lander. Domon notes that it's the Dragon gundam but does not know who it's opponent is. Sai hits the mummy gundam's cockpit unintentionally. He sees a mummy in the cockpit. The whole Gundam explodes. Sai looks stricken and recited the gundam convention clause 2, not to hit the cockpit.

        In the wreckage, Domon tells of the death of Neo-Egypt's gundam fighter and the destruction of their gundam. He also mentioned Da harl, the mummy that Sai fought. Sai looks scared thinking that he fought a ghost. Domon then tells them that he is leaving. Rain made a move to follow. But Sai was pulling on Domon's cape preventing him from moving. He begs Domon not to leave him. Domon looks a bit surprised at the request.

        The following night, Domon and Rain are still awake and talking about Da harl. Not far away, in a tent, Sai is having a nightmare and keeps on saying that he didn't do it. Then he crawls out from his bedding between the two monks. The monks asked him where he is going. He says he's going to relieve himself. Sai looks out to the sand dunes and sees Da harl looking at him and he screams. Domon and Rain rushes to him. They found Sai crying on the monk's lap. The monks said that Sai saw a dead man walking.

        In the morning, the group are trecking the desert on camels. Rain is riding behind Sai's camel. Sai asked where they were going. Rain replies that they are going to Da harl's tomb. Rain is using her laptop to get some info on Da harl. It seems he was the 3rd Gundam Fight winner. Sai tries to turn his camel around saying that it has nothing to do with him. But Domon grabs him by the back of his shirt. The monks despaired that they only wantd to revive the temple and if Sai doesn't fight.... Sai grudgingly agrees to go with them.

        Inside the tomb's hallway, only Domon, Sai and Rain entered. Sai steps on a slightly elevated stone which depressed when stepped on. The ground crumbled from under them and they all fell. When they recovered themselves, they were in a large room. it was Da harl's grave. Behind his coffin, there was a large portrait of Da harl. Sai asked Domon what he's gonna do. Domon said he's going to open the coffin. Sai panics saying that it's forbidden and screams and closes his eyes. Domon did opened the coffin and dragged Sai to see it. It was empty. Then the torchlight blows out. Behind the portrait, the mummy Da harl appears. Domon told Rain to take Sai and to escape. But the mummy wraps Sai in his bandages. Domon punches Da harl repeatedly in the gut. He sees what's under the wrappings. They look like tubings. Surprised, Domon tears off the bandages holding Sai and grabs him. He tells Rain to use the grenades.

        Outside, Sai is rejoicing that it's all over. Domon points out to the desert saying that it's not dead yet. The Pharaoh Gundam IV (aka mummy gundam) appears. Domon forces Sai to fight since Da harl will not stop haunting him. Dragon Gundam appears and Gundam Fight Ready Go! The Mummy gundam binds Dragon in bandages again and he can't move. The monks ask Domon for assistance since its not a formal match. Domon refused. He said that it was Sai's fight. Rain typing away on her laptop finally found out the reason why Da harl was after Sai. Sai's grandfather defeated the reigning champion, Da harl during the 4th Gundam fight. But when Sai's grandfather chopped off Pharaoh Gundam IV's head the head exploded near the cockpit when it fell and killed Da harl. Hearing this, Sai begins to fight and overcomes his remorse and fear. Dragon used it's staff and sorrounds Mummy gundam with several of its staff and used its flame thrower and burned the mummy gundam. Sai prayed that Da harl will now rest in peace. But Da harl is still alive and the Mummy Gundam intact. The Mummy gundam wrapped up the left arm of Dragon Gundam. Sai can't move and he struggles. Then from on top, the Shining Gundam appears and used the shining finger on the mummy gundam. Dragon gundam is loose. Sai asked Domon what's he doing and what's going on. Domon replies that it's better he not know. He said he saw the DG cells under Da harl's wrapping in the tomb and the mummy gundam has inherited the self-revival from Kyouji. Then Shining Gundam turns to its super mode. it's all glowing and Domon's black suit turns into red as what happened in episode 6. Shining Gundam hits the mummy gundam with its sword and blows it up. Rain looking up at shining mused that Domon's in that form again. She falls on her knees and cries. The two monks said among themselves that this is the power of the king of hearts. Domon looks at his hand. In Shining Gundam's hand is the corpse of Da harl. He says that everything becomes like this because of the Devil gundam cells. Sai is still puzzled by what happened and said he doesn't understand. Domon tells Rain not to cry since it's only about to start. Rain replies that if it means he has to fight his own brother....

        THE END


Shiro's Comments

    In this episode, we see Domon and Rain's first encounter with an infection of the DG cells in Da harl. Bcause of the DG cell, the dead rises up again and can self-regenerate. If you cut it up, it'll just patch itself back until you hardly see a cut. Pretty nasty ability when you're trying to kill someone who just won't die...
I really enjoyed watching this episode since I get to see Sai Sici again. If you recall, I did the summary for his intro in the series before. I was amazed at him before since this small kid has potential. He's a very good fighter compared to the rest. But in this episode we get to see Sai as the kid he really is. it's so funny to look at him when he grabs hold of Domon's cape and begs him not to leave him to the mercy of the ghost. So KAWAII!!!
