G

Goku Clone, also known by his nickname G, is a main protagonist in Mako Champions. A teenager with a remarkable amount of power for his age, he is one of the first members of the Mako Champions. Although initially an innocent, curious, and odd boy, G has in a short time matured into a formidable warrior, having seen many harsh and gruesome realities of life in the Mako Universe. While not quite so happy-go-lucky like he used to be, G still enjoys the company of his friends and will fight in order to help them, although he tries his hardest to avoid killing if possible.

Pre-Mako Champions
G is "found" in a mountain range near a small remote village in southern California. Villagers bring him over to their home, raising him as if he is their own child. He makes many friends in the village, including the black tiger Tigeru, and learns much from its inhabitants. For example, Jackie Chun teaches him a few fighting moves. From day one, the villagers are surprised by G's strength and stamina, especially since he is just a boy. However, they do not treat him as a freak or outcast because of this factor. Indeed, G and the villagers live happy lives.

One night, however, this all changes when, during a village festival, G catches sight of the full moon. For reasons unknown, this triggers a monstrous transformation, literally: the once-innocent G turns into a murderous, bloodthirsty, and out-of-control giant ape that lays waste to the surrounding landscape and even kills a few villagers. Despite their best efforts, the villagers were powerless against the beast; not even the mighty Jackie Chun could stop him. Eventually, dawn rises, and the monster falls. Now back to his normal form, G is knocked out on the ground. Horrified and hateful of the monkey-tailed child, the villagers decide that they must leave their home behind, and G with it. Although Jackie voices his disapproval at leaving his student behind, the pleas of the villagers and his role as a leader forces him to do so. Later, when G wakes up, his personality returns to its usual form, and he is completely unaware of the rampage he just went on. Unable to deliver the truth Jackie tells the boy that it is time for he and the other villagers to move on from their home in search of new opportunities. Since Jackie believes that he will come to check up on G, he tells him that they need someone to "hold down the fort". Therefore, Jackie Chun has G and Tigeru stay at the village (so that neither would get lonely without each other), telling them to leave only when "new friends" come to get them (ironically, this came true, much to Jackie Chun's surprise). G and Tigeru comply with little objection, and they live alone in the village for quite some time.

Leaving The Village
Soon enough, a traveler named Leaxe eventually comes across Gand Tigeru in the village. Leaxe invites the two on an adventure, to which they accept. After escaping from a group of bounty hunters, they arrrive at a hospital that just happens to be where the rest of the future MC Crew (Chrono Youtou, Fumei, and Isaac Kenter) are. G and Tigeru then travel with his newfound friends and arrive at the Brokeback Mountain Range, which is the location of Chrono's home: the temple of the "Fucking Monks". Unfortunately for them, G and the rest of the crew become caught in a conflict with the serial killer, Charles, and his group. After spending the night at the temple, the crew leaves the mountain range; Charles plots to kill everyone there, and blows up the sector in which the temple is in. However, the crew narrowly escapes.Soon, they arrive at a shack. Finding the door unlocked, G ventures inside, the others following him. The crew has to hide under the floorboard as Charles entered the shack with his girlfriend. The two are about to have sex, when Chrono bursts out of the floor. After a brief battle, Charles escapes, and his girflriend dies. G, having not spent much time outside of the village, nor having been educated to a proper degree, does not completely understand what has just happened.

Adventure in L.A.
The crew leaves the shack and notices a city that was below the cliff they are on. Chrono realizes that they have arrived at L.A. G and Tigeru, excited about seeing one of the cities they had heard so much about, decide to explore. After some time, Chrono, G, Tigeru, and Isaac find out that police are trying to arrest Charles, who is hiding in a chemical factory. The crew decides to go to the chemical factory, and meets with Charles and his goons. A brief fight ensues, in which Charles shoots Chrono in the back and cripples him. Soon enough, a mysterious vigilante known as The Shroud arrives, and fights with Charles, resulting in the latter falling into a vat of chemicals. The police arrives, and G accompanies the others to the nearby hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Gand Chrono go to the Magic Castle in order to see a show. There, they meet a girl named Melody Pond, who happens to be a magician herself. Melody joins the MC Crew after talking to G, out of a lack of anything better to do. Later, the crew goes back to Charles' shack, where they meet Hour Widow and her son, Elcardo. However, a rival gang to Charles appears, and tries to fight the crew. Unfortunately for them, G demonstrates his fighting ability, and along with the others, defeats the gang. Later, the same gang baits the crew to a house on the outskirts of L.A. G and the others are trapped inside the basement of the house while their captors think about how to kill them. Suddenly, G spots the full moon outside, and he begins to undergo a terrible transformation. He becomes a giant ape, and goes on a rampage, killing one of the gang members in the process. Fortunately, his tail is cut off, and he reverts back to normal.

The Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament
Upon returning to the city, Gmeets with his old mentor from the village, Jackie Chun. Jackie informs the crew about the upcoming Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament, which excites G. The crew is taken to a hotel by Jackie, where they get their own rooms and are given the opportunity to rest. However, G requests for Jackie to train him, to which he obliges. Under Jackie's tutelage, G learns about Mako, and how to manipulate it in order to fire beam-type attacks, to increase speed and strength, and to fly. Soon enough, the day to sign up for the tournament arrives, and G, along with Chrono, Hour, and Melody, sign up.

The crew arrives at the site of the first round of the tournament: The Forest of Death in Wales, UK. Although initially frightened by the horrors of the forest, G eventually gets over it and met up with Melody, Chrono, and Hour. He also meets Abstent, who acts kind towards the young competitor. The crew arrives at the tower in which the 2nd round is to take place. G goes to see the doctor, and finds out that he is not 12 like he thought he was; he is actually 16. This barely got to him.

The 2nd round of the tournament starts, and G is up first. He beats his opponent with relative ease. Once Chrono's fight comes up, however, G reels in horror as he sees the kitsune viciously murder his opponent. Upon seeing this, he starts to get scared of not only Chrono, but the people around him, wondering exactly what he got himself into by leaving his village. His worries are exemplified when the Jester (a transformed Charles) reveals himself and brutally kills 6 tournament officials. While the staff of the tournament decide to cover the incident up, G is still mentally scarred by the events of the 2nd round.

Upon returning to L.A., Jackie Chun takes the crew to a forest retreat, where they can rest until the final round of the tournament. Gtries to train, but he has too much on his mind. He decides to take a nap, and as he is sleeping, Abstent comes and places a necklace in his hand before leaving. G wakes up, and, upon noticing the necklace, puts it on, finding himself to be very happy with it. Two days later, the crew goes to Staples Center for the final round of the tournament. G's match against a fighter known as "Homosexual Indian" is first. G beats his opponent easily and moves on to the 2nd block. His next match is against a man named Sanji, who, once again, he defeats easily. The final match of the tournament turns out to be G vs Chrono. The young fighter is frightened at the prospect of fighting Chrono, but after some motivation from Abstent and Jackie Chun, his fear turns to excitement.

Gand Chrono fight a fierce and grueling battle. Both fighters are trying their best to overcome each other, and the bout lasts quite a while. However, in the end, G loses to Chrono by a ring-out. Thus, Chrono becomes the champion of the tournament. G does not feel bad, as he managed to survive and lasted quite a while against the kitsune. Abstent later bids farewell to G, who wishes the former the best of luck. Later, in the evening, G requests to be given Jackie Chun's L.A. apartment. After some consideration, Jackie Chun agrees, and drives the crew to the apartment. G bids goodbye to the others, and walks into his new apartment.

Later that night, G is tricked by two gangsters to let them into the apartment. The gangsters shoot G in the back of the head and toss him out of the window, thinking that he is dead. However, the young boy survives, and flies back into the apartment, beating up and kicking out the gangsters. Even later that night, Melody and Chrono come into the apartment, and G lets them stay.

War of Iceland
Jackie Chun comes back to the apartment with Tigeru to give G new clothes...And to stay since he got kicked out of the forest retreat. Chrono then drags the crew along to rent a boat in order to sail to Iceland, which they succeed in doing. Upon arriving there, the crew first see a poor and miserable fishing village. After checking into an inn with the others, G and Tigeru go off to find food. Tigeru tries to steal some fish, but a mysterious man smacks him away, threatening to kill both Tigeru and G if they are caught stealing again. However, the man seemingly has a change of heart, as he arrives in the inn the crew was in and invites G, Melody, Chrono, and Hour to dinner at his father's castle, to which the four accept.

It turns out the man is part of a wealthy family known as the Albu Aristocracy. While eating the delicious banquet, the crew meet the head of the family, a man named Viktor. Viktor reveals that the Aristocracy is made up of powerful vampires; not only that, but since Viktor watched the crew in the Strongest Under the Clouds tournament, he wants to offer them the chance to become vampires themselves. However, after careful consideration, the four decline the offer. Enraged, Viktor knocks them all out, and is about to kill them, but is stopped by a force who saves the guests-turned-victims.

After reawakening at the inn, the crew finds notes pinned to each of their doors, telling them to meet them at the dock of Iceland at midnight. Following the note's instructions, the crew meets Julius, a man who is part of the International Hellsing Organization of Contracted Monster Slayers. Julius reveals that G and the others have become targeted by the Albus, and for that reason, recruits them into the order. G is taught how to fight and kill vampires, and becomes the page of an elite member of the order: Richter. He also meets Sapphire, who, earlier, had become the page of another elite member, Trevor. Soon enough, the pages and their masters are assigned to their first mission; however, although it is a success, G is horrified by how the order brutally slaughters innocent people deemed as enemies. For this reason, he thinks of the order as "monsters".

On another mission, G and the other pages end up at an abandoned castle, where Chrono accidentally revives the dhampir known as Marcus. Marcus tells of Julius/the Hellsing Order's treachery, convincing the pages (save for Sapphire) to leave the order and join him to take down both their former allies and the Albu Aristocracy. Following this, G prepares for the upcoming war for Iceland.

After much preparation, the war finally begins; not only does the crew engage in their first serious war, but they also gain the name "Mako Champions", as called by Marcus. With a massive army providing cover for them, the champions enter the Hellsing Order's base, where they fight their old ally, Juste and end up killing him, much to G's dismay. Then, Sapphire appears, and engages the warriors in battle. Despite being tired from the battle with Juste, G and the others manage to defeat and drive Sapphire away. Thus, the Hellsing Order is defeated.

Later, the Mako Champions arrive at the Albu Aristocracy's castle and face off against Viktor at the highest floor, who proves to be quite the formidable opponent. Chrono is thrown out of the window during the battle, prompting G to fly out and try to save him. Unfortunately, G is too late, and can only fend off several vampires who kill Chrono through their fatal bites. After retrieving Chrono's body and coming back to the battle, G tries to fight Viktor, only to be knocked out. However, G wakes up as the remaining Hellsing members join the battle, driving Viktor into a corner. The teenager ends up delivering the finishing blow to the vampire, which ends the war for Iceland with a victory for Marcus and his army. However, it comes with a severe loss: Chrono is gone. Tired of Iceland and the chaos they experienced in it, as well as grieving for their fallen comrade, the Champions leave the country to go back to L.A.

The Demon Threat
After returning to L.A., G and his friends decide to bury Chrono near what is left of the Brokeback Mountains. After doing so, the group goes to visit Jackie Chun. However, much to their shock, they find the old man lying in front of his apartment complex, severely injured. G asks Melody to heal Chun, but for some reason, she is unable to. Thus, Chun is taken to the hospital, with the Champions following him.

At first, G is distressed over the state of his mentor, but Isaac manages to calm him down and give him hope. After a while, the doctors tell the Champions that Jackie is going to be fine and that they can come into his room. Upon entering, the group discusses among themselves what could have done something like this to Jackie when they hear muttering coming from the old man. "Blue gargoyle..." is all that Chun keeps saying to himself. Eventually, G finds out what he means by this when he goes up to the roof of the hotel. There, he is confronted by a blue creature with wings who calls himself "Fre." Fre tells G (and the rest of the MC crew as they arrive soon after) that he is a demon sent to eliminate them and take their Mako. A tough battle ensues, which eventually ends with G using Chrono's demon sword (whose name is apparently "Damion") to slay Fre. Immediately after the battle, the Champions discusses who exactly would want them dead. They all come to one conclusion: Sapphire.

Later that night, Jackie Chun fully recovers and is brought up to speed on the Champions' current situation. After hearing this, Chun requests that they let him help on their quest to find out where the man who ordered their executions is. However, G attempts to dissuade Chun from doing so, fearing for his safety. Eventually, G relents, and the group sets out on a new adventure. However, they first go back to Chrono's grave in order to let Chun pay his respects. There, they meet Abstent once again; apparently, the monk is looking for G and his friends. The rest of his fellow monks were brutally murdered, and Abstent is determined to find the culprit and get his revenge. He asks for his necklace from G, but instead, the youth suggests that they help in finding the murderer. Abstent agrees and leads them to his temple (which is not that far from where the Fucking Monks' temple used to be). There, they find a strange series of symbols written on the wall; none of them are able to discern its meaning. Soon, the temple has another visitor: a fat blue demon named Ak. Ak reveals himself to be the creature behind the deaths of Abstent's monk-brethren, and explains that he has come to the Champions' location in order to get revenge for Fre. Another battle ensues, with Ak losing badly. However, as a last resort, the demon releases some kind of strange, misty creature from his body and tries using it to beat the Champions. Soon enough, G is the only one left standing, with Damion in hand. Thinking quickly, G tosses Damion up into the air before he is knocked out by the strange creature in the hopes that the sword lands on Ak. Miraculously, Damion does indeed land on Ak, ending his life and waking the Mako Champions up.

The next morning, G wakes up to a shocking sight: dozens of demons circling the temple. Despite their best efforts, G and the rest of the Champions are knocked out by the demons and taken all the way from California Island to a village in Karmania. There, he sees Sapphire fighting off a plethora of demons in a fit of rage. When Sapphire is eventually brought down, a demon named Turdotyl uses a strange technique in order to extract Mako from G and the others and pull something out of Sapphire. When the process is finished, a taller, even more sinister version of Sapphire who calls himself "Yama" is released. Yama, the father of Sapphire and all of the other demons, saw the power of G and the others through the eyes of Sapphire and plotted to release himself from the body of his son by extracting enough Mako in order to conduct a sort of "releasing ceremony." After thanking the Champions for their Mako, he puts them (and Sapphire) in giant eggs and throws them into a nearby river thinking that they would die from a lack of air or from drowning.

However, G and the other Champions survive and wind up in another village miles away. Nursed to health by a Karmanian named Sneha, G enjoys the company of the village while he recovers from having his Mako taken away. One night, however, a sinister laugh rings through the ears of the villagers, prompting G and the crew to find the source of said laughter. They find that the source is a demon, and promptly eliminate him. Soon after, G, along with Abstent, Isaac, Damion, and Melody, decide to leave the village and set out to find and defeat Yama before the havoc he is currently wreaking on Karmania destroys the land.

Soon enough, the group finds Sapphire confronting other demons in an abandoned village. Rushing to the battle, G fights and defeats the demons with the help of the rest of the Champions. Sapphire tells the Champions to leave and let him handle things. However, G counters Sapphire's demand by saying that he needs all the help he can get. After a lengthy argument, Sapphire relents and shows the group a shortcut to the demon clan's base of operations.

Arriving at a beach, the Champions find a lone demon hiding behind some trees. After an attempt to interrogate him, the group is faced with a new challenge once the demon calls upon his brothers. G once again has to engage in a bloody battle of war, much to his dismay. Managing to defeat the demons, the Champions finally face off against Yama, who has arrived to avenge his children. Although he has the advantage at first, Yama starts becoming continuously distracted by G, letting the other Champions inflict damage. During the battle, G's tail grows back, much to Yama's shock; indeed, the demon father calls G "one of those freaks", which simply confuses the teen. Eventually, the Mako Champions hurt Yama enough to force him to release a more powerful version of the misty spirit his sons had. To add onto the challenge, Yama's body is controlled by his spirit, almost like a zombie. Suffering a good deal of damage from Yama's attacks, the Champions seem to be done for. However, G manages to distract Yama one last time with a Kamehameha, which allows Isaac to beat Yama's body to a bloody pulp, making the spirit dissolve until it is eventually nothing.

Victorious, the Champions return to the village, where they are welcomed as heroes. After a long celebration, Jackie Chun reveals that he and Tigeru are going to stay and reside in the village. Although G is disappointed, he still accepts Jackie Chun's decision. Bidding farewell to his teacher, his long-time companion, and the other villagers, G leaves the village along with the rest of the Champions. Abstent and Sapphire also say goodbye to G and the rest of the Champions, and go their separate ways. Eventually, the crew reaches an airport, and, upon Damion's suggestion, use Chrono's prize money from the tournament in order to book a flight back to LA.

Joining a Pride
Unfortunately for the Champions, their plane happens to fly over Washington D.C., AKA Pride Rock Wasteland, a chaotic, desolate land plagued by war and destruction. A missile hits the plane, destroying it and sending the remains crashing to the ground. There are no survivors - except, miraculously, the Champions. However, the extreme heat of D.C. is enough to make them pass out. Soon after, they are found by men in strange suits, who wake them up by putting them in similar suits in order to lessen the heat on them. Before they can even thank them, the Champions are ditched once someone alerts the others that the "Lyons' Pride" is coming. As soon as the men leave, a carrier ship lands next to the Champions; as its doors open up, soldiers in similar suits run out and point their weapons at the Champions. However, a man named Tyger orders the soldiers to hold their fire (and even kills someone who questions him). G explains who he and his friends are, and how they got to D.C. Tyger invites the Champions to come onto the carrier and be brought to the soldiers' base, an invitation which they accept.

After arriving in a high-tech, underground bunker, the Champions are introduced to Elder Lyons. Lyons explains that he leads "Lyon's Pride", a group formed in order to preserve Pre-Apocalypse technology and prevent it from falling into the wrong hangs. Furthermore, he reveals that the ones who saved the Champions are actually rebels that are currently trying to use the technology for their own vile purposes. Much like Viktor in Iceland, Lyons had seen the Champions on the TV broadcast of the Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament. Impressed by their strength, Lyons requests that the group help him and the Pride in fighting the rebels; in return, he would grant them safe passage to anywhere they desired. Seeing no other choice, G accepts along with the others. Tyger then takes the crew into the armory in order to have them choose suits to use when fighting in the unfathomable heat during the war. G chooses a hunter suit in order to retain his ability to fly. The crew also meets Bonnie, an engineer who gives weapons to them in order to give them more of a chance at survival.

The Champions' first mission is to assist Pride members against a faction of rebels. Initially giving the rebels a run for their money, the Champions are met with a new foe; a hulking, power-house of a man wearing a strange backpack. The beast seems to focus only on G, as he attacks him the most. Despite this, G repeatedly tells the others that he does not want the newcomer to be killed. Eventually, G destroys the man's backpack, knocking him out. The battle is thus won, and the Champions, along with the defeated behemoth, are brought back to Lyon's Pride headquarters.

G was then called in by Lyons and Tyger so that he could talk to the defeated beast, who has refused to speak ever since being made prisoner. Their reasoning is that since G tried so hard to keep him alive, maybe the monster would talk to him. Although he is reluctant at first, G relents and walks into the room the man is being kept in. After telling him his name, G finds out that the prisoner is known as Ben; however, the conversation does not go beyond that, for Ben breaks free of his restraints, throws the teen out of the room, and makes his way out of Lyon's Pride headquarters. Before escaping, Ben challenges G and his friends to a duel, with the intent of crushing them.

After recovering from his injuries, G decides that he would fight Ben, but later. He then goes to Bonnie and asks her to upgrade his pole and warcross into more powerful weapons. Later, Lyon's Pride find another stranded wanderer: a young man named James. G goes with Lyons to meet James, and he is confused and somewhat mistrusting of the new addition to Lyon's Pride. His thoughts about James are interrupted, however, by a new mission: defend the White House from the rebels. Before setting out, G returns to Bonnie, who has upgraded his warcross into a more powerful, metal-coated weapon (although nothing could be done to his pole).

The Champions, along with James and other soldiers, arrive at the White House, and are met with a massive amount of rebels. Every time the Pride seems to defeat a large group of rebels, another one arrives and continues the battle. After fighting through an onslaught of rebels (and being set on fire), G makes it to the entrance of the White House and assists James in defeating enemies guarding the entrance. The two proceed to enter the ancient building, and, finding 3 rooms, decide to split up. While James finds a group of rebels preparing to suit up, G comes across a weapons room with enough power to destroy the entire building. After ordering James to take the remaining rebels outside, G flies backwards out of the White House while charging a Mako Blast in his palm. Once he reaches a safe enough distance, G fires the Mako Blast all the way back into the weapons room, triggering a massive explosion that annihilates the former occupied zone of the rebels, thus ending the battle.

Later, G and his friends request that they take leave of the Pride for some time in order to accept Ben's challenge. Elder Lyons allows them to do so, and via a helicopter, the Champions arrive at the Jefferson Memorial. At the haunting historic site, the crew is ambushed by a variety of freakish mutants. Though G puts up a good fight, he is eventually knocked out by the new enemies, and he and the others are dragged to the apparent god Ben in his stadium. Once he wakes up, G is shocked to find himself and his friends in the wild and insane gladiator-like arena. The heroes are taken out of their holding pens and, to the delight of the audience members, are forced to fight a variety of enemies, including mutated pigs, lepyrs, and even a dinosaur (though the last one was due to the fact that G manages to convince Ben to skip to the final enemy).

Despite the odds stacked against them, however, the Champions pull through and silence the audience by winning Ben's tournament. Greatly amused, Ben congratulates the Champions on their victory and grants them access to his land and permission to leave - provided that they defeat him first. Ben's overwhelming strength, combined with the fatigue from the earlier battles, nearly breaks G. Indeed, at one point in the battle, the young warrior is knocked out, leaving Melody and Damion to fend for themselves. Fortunately, Melody casts a high-level healing spell on G, bringing him back into the battle. With new-found strength, G chucks his improved warcross into Ben's re-breather, seriously damaging the colossus. Despite this, Ben attempts to continue the fight; even after Gdestroys Ben's "pride and joy", the beast refuses to lose. Soon enough, however, Ben falls to a shot from Melody's rocket launcher fired by G. Triumphant, the teenage fighter announces to Ben and his people that he would kill no one else there, and that he would talk to Elder Lyons about leaving them alone. With this, G leaves the hellish arena with his friends and returns to the Pryde via helicopter.

Once back, Elder Lyons sends G and the Champions to the White House, where Bonnie reveals to them a colossal robot that the Pride has been working on. In order to power the machine, however, a powerful generator is needed, which the Champions are sent to retrieve from the Rebels' headquarters. Before doing so, G removes his suit to give to Bonnie for adjustments (he immediately struggles under the tremendous heat). Bonnie returns the modified suit to G, and thus the Champions set off. Once they arrive at the enemy's base of operations, G takes the lead and disposes of any and all rebels who get in his way. After making a quick stop in the cafeteria to satisfy his hunger, G leads his friends to the room in which the generator is being heavily guarded. Rebels open fire at once, prompting G to spin his war cross rapidly as to divert the incoming bullets. However, the warrior accidentally lets go of the war cross, which ends up brutally ending the guards' lives, much to his shock.

The Champions enters the room to retrieve the generator, only to find out that it weighs quite a bit. G, bribed by Melody with bacon, manages to lift the generator and hurry out of the Rebels' base. The Champions meet with Tyger in his jeep, where G places the generator before hopping in with his friends. Unfortunately, a multitude of rebels follow the intruders, prompting the Pride soldiers to hightail it back to base. There, G gives the generator to Bonnie so that the robot could be powered; meanwhile, the Pride is engaged in one last battle with the Rebels right outside. For whatever reason, Bonnie cannot get the Pride's last hope to work, prompting Elder Lyons to don his own suit so that he may join the fight. However, G continuously gets in the old man's way, believing that he stands no chance against the Rebels. Eventually, though, Elder Lyons overcomes G and makes him realize why he has to fight; defeated, the young man gives Lyons his pole and war cross, and with a salute, watches him go out to the fight.

Eventually, G, upon request from Bonnie, decides to join in the final battle, despite having no armor on. This results in him passing out from the extreme heat outside. Elder Lyons hurries to G and, begging him to hang in there, makes him look at the full moon, a rare occurrence in the Wasteland. The Champion begins to morph into a horrible monster once his eyes meet with the moon's light; once again, he transforms into a giant ape, much to the horror of the Pride and the Rebels, and much to the delight of Damion. Having lost all control over himself, G proceeds to massacre the Rebels in another rampage, thereby winning the battle for the Pride. But the tides turn when the great ape turns his attention to the headquarters of the Pride. Firing a blast of intense Mako at the base, G is met with a new challenge: the activated robot, the Iron Argonaut, who blocks the ape's attack. The two giants engage in a heated battle, with neither side giving in. G takes a considerable deal of damage from the mechanical warrior, and at one point is even knocked out from its onslaught. However, the transformed teenager awakens and severely damages the Argonaut's core, making its destruction inevitable. Before it perishes, the Argonaut drags G to the ocean and takes him down with it. In the end, both beasts lose.

Fortunately, G washes up on the shore, still conscious and back to normal after the sun lit the sky. The Pride takes him back to its headquarters, where Elder Lyons has him put in the infirmary. Leaving his weapons next to G's bed, Lyons goes with Tyger (revealed to be his son) to his bunker, where, after giving a few last inspiring words, breathes his last. Tyger, now taking the name of Elder Lyons, calls the Champions to his office after G recovers. The new leader of the Pride congratulates the Champions for their service to the Wasteland, promising them that they would always be remembered as heroes. G offeres a few words of condolences to the new Elder regarding his late father, to his appreciation. Soon after, the Champions leave the office to go down to Bonnie's workshop, where the mechanic tackles G to the floor with a hug. Crying, Bonnie apologizes to her glomp victim for sending him to his death, embarrassing G and causing him to reassure her that he is just fine. Bonnie gets off G and gives him an upgraded war cross and pole, as well as a new staff for Melody. Bonnie remarks about the Champions' reputation as heroes, although G silently disagrees with her.

A few days of celebration pass, and the time comes for the Champions to leave the Wasteland. Climbing on board the chopper, Gand the others are pleasantly surprised to learn that both Elder Lyons and Bonnie would be joining them on their travels for some time. Thus, the Champions and their new comrades bid farewell to the Pride and set off for Los Angeles.

The Next Tournament
The Champions arrive back in LA, where a passerby recognizes G and Melody as participants from the 22nd Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament. Excited to meet such supernatural and powerful fighters, the passerby inquires the two as to whether they would fight in the upcoming 23rd tournament. Although G is initially hesitant to sign up, as the 22nd tournament is what got he and his friends into trouble in Iceland and Washington DC, he immediately changes his mind when the fan brings up how, with the 1 million LAD (LA Dollar) prize money, he could buy all of the food he wanted.

G and company arrive at the LA Convention Center, where the sign-ups for the tournament are taking place. There, he sees a large crowd gathered for the defending champion, Arog "Gold" Antoine, who arrives in the area with a flashy backflip and a cocky attitude. After that little show, G questions how odd the scene is, only to be surprised by a messy-haired, cloaked man behind him who suddenly answers him. The man gives his name as Pollux before going to sign up for the tournament. Slightly shaken, G walks inside the building to sign up, where he notices a very tall, cloaked man doing the same. The man sees G and calls him by his name, surprising the youth, since he never met the man before. The stranger introduces himself as Fred before walking off, leaving G confused for a few more moments before shrugging it off and signing up for the tournament himself. From there, the group heads to Jackie Chun's apartment (which takes a while to find, since they're completely lost), and relax for the weeks before the tournament begins.

Finally, the day of the tournament arrives. Bringing Damion along with him, G makes his way back to the LA Convention Center, where another large crowd is gathered, calling after Gold and the other fighters walking into the facility. Inside, G is pleasantly surprised to see not only Abstent, but Sapphire as well, among the fighters competing. After the tournament officials explain the rules, G and Abstent converse about the other fighters and what to expect in the tournament. The two don't notice, however, two tournament officials glaring at the spiky-haired teen...

A few hours later, the group of fighters take a bus to the beach, where a boat is waiting for them. After boarding, the boat takes off to the site of the first round: the Bermuda Triangle, a foggy, mysterious, and almost deathly group of three islands located far away from civilization. During the ride, G meets Tydra, an enthusiastic, determined, and confident competitor who claims that he is going to be the new champion. Not knowing what to make of this, G simply brushes Tydra's words. Later, as they approach the Bermuda Triangle, the fighters are each sent off to one of three islands, G being chosen for the first island. Smaller, high-tech boats are put in front of the larger vessel, and G hops in one of them, noticing that it is made by "Sharpe's Company." The boat speeds off to the first island, which is just as ghastly and wild as the entire triangle. Undeterred, G, with Damion in hand, gets off of the boat and makes his way into the uncharted wilderness of the island...and gets lost multiple times.

During his journey, G comes across a squirrel that seems to have been electrified to death - he senses a distinct Mako coming from the bolts and notices that a similar Mako signature is not far ahead. Chasing after this source of energy, G finds...a wild dog, which he kills and cooks so that he may satisfy his hunger. Damion, who has been trying to drive G towards a heinous and callous path of a murderer, compares G's killing of the dog to the killing of other people. He points out that G's beliefs about killing - how people don't have a right to decide who lives and who dies, that there are others who care for those killed, etc. - are contradictory to what the boy just did to the wild dog. G counters with the fact that the wild dog did not feel, nor think, like people do, and did not have a sense of family and conscience, but Damion retaliates by the fact that G does not know for sure if that is true. The Champion reflects on what the demon sword just said, wondering if he is indeed a hypocrite, when once again, he picks up on the Mako signature that he was following. It turns out that Pollux has been waiting behind G for an opportunity to strike at him. Realizing that his cover has been blown, Pollux tries to escape, while Damion attempts to convince Gto kill the would-be attacker. Instead, he goes against both of their expectations by inviting Pollux to eat with him. Pollux, although confused and frustrated at G's lack of strategy and rationality, accepts the invitation, and the two engage in a conversation regarding what they hope to gain from the tournament (although all the while, Damion continues trying to convince G to attack). After the food is finished, G says goodbye to Pollux and continues his trek through the island.

At one point, G, lost again, finds a cave in which he senses a faint Mako signature. He enters the cave and finds at the end a bearded, shriveled, foul-smelling, naked old man in meditation. G tries to talk to the elderly man, only to be seemingly ignored. As G turns around to leave, however, the man suddenly wakes up and delivers a prophecy: G has, and will continue to make, choices that shall determine whether he becomes the world's greatest hero or worst enemy. He will soon realize his heritage and discover his destiny, and it is up to him how he shall tackle this. The planet will soon come under siege by some force, leaving the fighter and his friends among the only ones ready to combat said force, should they choose to. Having revealed his supposed knowledge of the future, the man goes back to his meditation, leaving Gvery confused and somewhat scared over what his words mean before he leaves the cave. Once outside, he is shocked to discover that where he arrives is completely different from where he entered; in fact, he is right outside the coast of the other side of the island. In the distance, he can make out a tower, which is where the second round of the tournament is to take place. Pleased, G takes flight over the ocean and, after a few minutes, lands in front of the tower, meeting up with Abstent, Sapphire, Fred, Pollux, and Tydra (who apparently swam all the way from the coast of his island to the tower).

The group walks inside the tower, seeing that not only the tournament officials, but also Melody and Isaac are waiting for them. The six titans are early; indeed, there are still 36 hours left until the second round officially begins. G decides to stock up on some much-needed food, and walks to the cafeteria, not noticing the two tournament officials from earlier once again glaring at him. The 36 hours come to pass, with more fighters arriving at the tower, bringing the total up to sixteen. Finally, the second round can begin. The lead official congratulates the fighters before ushering them into the arena room. G, however, insists on being served breakfast before his fight, to which the officials reluctantly oblige. After the rules are explained, a large black screen flashes through the names of the fighters until two names are displayed, revealing the match about to take place. The second match ends up being G vs. Kevin Brown, a friendly and cheerful man wielding a battle axe. Once the fight begins, G is surprised to see that his opponent is rather skilled, which Kevin uses to his advantage as he repeatedly catches the black-haired fighter off guard. The two engage in tense hand-to-hand combat, with G even being dealt a blow on the head by Kevin's battle axe, forcing him down to the ground. He quickly gets up and trips Kevin, using the opportunity to strike back. Although the maneuver is effective, it still is not enough to beat his opponent. Not even multiple Mako blasts are able to do the trick, as Kevin simply uses his battle axe to block the attacks. It takes the teenager's skill with his metal pole in order to eliminate Kevin from the competition via ring-out. G is proclaimed the winner of the match, and Kevin, rather than being saddened, heartily laughs and congratulates his opponent. Meanwhile, the defending champion Gold has his mouth agape over what a freakish fight that was. As G walks back to the stands, he sees that the officials have delivered his breakfast, which he devours almost instantly.

G spends the rest of the round observing the fights. He is surprised that Gold, whose match is after his, indeed has a bit of talent behind all of his talk. When Sapphire's match comes, G is shocked that the blue fighter can extend his limbs to great lengths, a skill he uses to beat his opponent. However, the biggest surprise comes when it is Tydra's turn to fight. Tydra, who has been doing push-ups all this time, demonstrates just what a fierce force he is by pummeling his opponent at lightning speeds, baffling all those present in the room. Even the Champions, who have seen their share of abnormal abilities and powers, are flabbergasted by Tydra's ability. Needless to say, Tydra wins his fight, leaving G to smile to himself as he wonders what fighting him will be like, prompting Tydra to look over towards G and wink. The final match of the second round, which has Abstent fighting, almost ends in a disqualification on the monk's part, as he is nowhere to be found. G tries to convince the official to give Abstent his time, claiming that he is currently having "bathroom problems." Eventually, Abstent does make it back in time (and goes red when the spectators jeer at him over his supposed bladder troubles). The monk finishes his match quickly, much to G's delight. With the second round over, the tournament official calls the eight finalists over and explains that the third round will take place in two weeks rather than one month, due to the massive amount of support from fans and the LA government. The match-ups for the first block of the next round are decided, and G is to go up against Gold.

One hour later, the crew boards helicopters that are to take them back to LA. Abstent requests that G and Melody remind him that he has something to tell them once they get back to the city, which G notes. Once they do arrive back in LA, the group plans to stay at Jackie Chun's apartment until the third round. Unfortunately, neither Isaac, Melody, nor G has the keys to the apartment, which seemingly means that they have nowhere to stay. Just then, G is tackled to the ground by a large, black tiger, prompting Pollux to assume an offensive position. However, it turns out that the beast is none other than Tigeru, who is playfully greeting G, a gesture which he returns estatically. It turns out that Jackie Chun, who reveals himself to also be present at the scene, brought Tigeru along to LA so that they could watch G and his friends fight in the tournament. G confesses that he lost the keys to Jackie's apartment, but the kindly old man brushes it off and tells the Champions that he has been allowed back to the forest retreat, and not only offers G, but also Melody, Isaac, Abstent, Pollux, Tydra, and Fred sanctuary there. All of them oblige, and so Jackie drives them all through the city towards the retreat. During the ride, G reminds Abstent about him having something to say. Abstent explains that apparently, the two tournament officials who were shooting G malicious stares were present during the Jester's rampage at the tournament two years ago. Although the staff decided to cover up the incident, the two officials are fearful that G, Melody, or Abstent may very well spill the beans about what took place, which could potentially lead to the cutting off of support from the LA government, which in turn would cause the tournament to shut down and the officials to lose their jobs. Determined to not let that happen, the two officials plan to kill the three before anything happens. G laments over being reminded of that dreadful incident, and over the fact that they are being punished for it. Jackie suggests that the group stay indoors until the third round starts so that they are not seen by any possible assassins, which upsets G even more. However, he is cheered up by the fact that the group he is traveling with are all adept fighters and Mako manipulators, and come what may, they are all more than ready to handle it. Tugging with determination on the necklace that Abstent gave him two years ago, G repeats the name that Marcus gave he and his friends during the War of Iceland: The Mako Champions.

Late at night, the group arrives at the forest retreat and retire to bed. The next morning, G is scarfing down on a large breakfast while conversing with his companions. Tigeru walks in, angry that G took all of the food, though the monkey-tailed boy simply replies that the tiger should have gotten up earlier if he wanted any. Jackie brings the group to a large, indoor garden, which he says they can train in until the tournament begins to make up for not being allowed to go outside. Pleased, G begins his training, during which he fires a Kamehameha which brings down 5 trees, one of them landing on Tydra. Grushes over to Tydra, who, although hurt, continues to work out. When questioned about how the tree fell in the first place, however, G quickly says bye and runs off. Meanwhile, Fred is meditating when he smells a "rank disturbance." Opening his eyes, he sees that Tigeru is doing his business right next to him. G arrives and is both amused and disgusted by Tigeru's lack of decency, though his pet just smiles in reply. Just then, G picks up on a strong Mako signature. Dropping Damion into a pile of feces (which greatly enrages him and prompts him to curse his wielder), he runs off and finds Abstent in deep meditation. Confused, G runs back to Fred and Damion and asks the latter whether meditation is supposed to increase your Mako, only for Damion to fail to give him an answer. Later, during dinner time, G, as he ravages his food, engages in conversation with his friends. He comments that Fred is rather unique and interesting for the wings on his back, and wishes that he had some kind of feature that would make him stand out like that. The group stares at him in disbelief over how oblivious he is, making him nervous. Fred points out that G indeed has a feature that makes him stand out: a monkey tail, which has been swishing throughout dinner. The boy only smiles and replies "oh yeah" before continuing his dinner. After more banter and insanity that has become common among the Champions, G retires to bed...and is haunted that night by horrible and terrifying nightmares, courtesy of Damion.

Personality
Gis normally a happy-go-lucky boy. Indeed, he is rather innocent and was previously very ignorant of the world around him and its problems. This is mainly due to the fact that he lived in a village for 16 years, isolated from the rest of the world. However, once he finally left the village, he was exposed to both wonders and horrors, such as technology, architecture, crime, murder, insanity, etc. Since the youth was previously very gullible and unwary of danger, he often got himself into trouble. Due to this, G's view on life slightly changed, and he is not as childlike as he once was. In fact, when overwhelmed with stress (either physical or emotional), G can become very depressed and/or angry. Despite this, his innocence has remained relatively intact, though he has developed a more wary demeanor, and a witty, sarcastic attitude.

G is, for the most part, not very intelligent. He does not have any sort of formal education, nor is he the best with street smarts. Because of this, he is often exploited by many opponents. However, as G has gotten more and more exposed to the world around him, he has gained more knowledge, although he's not the brightest kid around. He often has to be given explanations as to what certain objects and concepts are, frustrating his friends to no end. This is not made any better by the fact that he confuses words quite often, such as "masturbation" for "meditation", "pins" for "puns", etc. He does this so often, in fact, that Melody wonders if he is actually doing it on purpose. G can be quite oblivious to what appears obvious to others, adding on to the fact that he lacks an adequate education.

He also finds combat to be very enjoyable, as long as it is friendly. When a strong opponent is around, he cannot help but feel excited. G will try his best in a battle, even if it is against a friend. Yet, he tries to have fun when engaged in combat. However, when fighting an enemy, he becomes slightly more serious and focused on taking his opponent down (although he can't help himself from joking from time to time). Previously, no matter who he was fighting against, G tried to avoid killing his opponent, and if he did, he would become distraught and depressed. However, he has recently become less hesitant in killing an enemy, especially if the safety of others is compromised. Even so, he prefers that the lives that anyone he or his friends fight are not taken, due to a belief that none of them "have any say in who dies."

Relationships
In regards to his friends, G is relatively comfortable. He jokes around with them and finds joy in having them around, as they are his first companions after he left the village with Tigeru.

Tigeru
Tigeru has been G's pet and friend since he was little, which makes for a very close relationship, almost as if they are brothers.

Chrono
G sees Chrono as a hilarious and trusted companion before his death. Although, during the 22nd Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament, during which Chrono demonstrated just how bloodthirsty he is, G finds himself terrified by him before being reassured by Melody, Abstent, and Jackie Chun. The boy learns many (perverted and inappropriate) things during his time with Chrono, though he still is not completely sure what they mean. When Chrono is killed during the War of Iceland, G is deeply saddened over the loss of his friend, a testament to his friendship with him.

Melody
Melody is the sense of reason that attempts to make sense of G's ridiculous and carefree nature, although she often finds herself completely baffled by the boy. Still, G views Melody as the best immediate source of knowledge and support, and often comes to her whenever he needs help understanding something. Although recently Melody has become a bit harsher to G, that does not stop him from valuing her as a good friend and ally.

Abstent
Abstent is a big brother of sorts to G. He gives G a black necklace with a golden chain at its end as a gift, which G has kept on ever since. Whenever Abstent is around, G is happy and confident in himself.

Jackie Chun
Jackie is the man who finds G and adopts him, taking on the role of a father figure for him. As a result, G calls Jackie "gramps" and sees him as the first family he has. Growing up with him and the other villagers allows G to be nurtured and grown into a strong and healthy boy. In addition, Jackie teaches G martial arts (and is surprised by how fast he picks up on it), turning him into a formidable fighter, which G is deeply grateful for. Even when Jackie leaves with the other villagers to supposedly "find better opportunities" and he tells his adopted grandson to stay behind to guard the fort until finding new friends, G has no problem and continues to care for him. Later, when the two meet again, Jackie is pleased (albeit shocked) that G has indeed found friends and is exploring the world. When G asks Jackie to train him for the upcoming 22nd Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament, he is more than happy to, and at the end of their training, is proud at how far G has come. Even after the training is complete, Jackie is there for G whenever he is needed.

Damion
At first, G resented Damion for his ruthless and bloodthirsty behavior, as well as his overall rude demeanor. Over time, however, the boy has grown accustomed to the blade, and after Chrono's death, would wield him from time-to-time. He developed friendly, albeit mocking, relationship with Damion - G likes to pull pranks on him and call him a "pooper-scooper", while Damion likes to mock his lack of intelligence and call him a "monkey." When the 24th Strongest Under the Clouds tournament takes place, G becomes the primary wielder of Damion, and the two form a bond, neither of them seeming to mind being in each other's company. Still, this does not stop Damion from trying to convince G to drop his mercy and friendliness and become a cold-hearted warrior, nor does it stop him from pointing out the hypocrisy and sometimes downright stupidity of G's thoughts and actions, but the teenager remains unperturbed, steadfast in his refusal to resort to the actions of a monster. Furthermore, Damion will still punish G if he wants to, such as putting the boy through terrible nightmares for days as payback for being dropped by him in a pile of feces. In fact, this ability to give G nightmares is a reflection of the psychic link the sword has developed with his new master. Yet, when asked to stop the nightmares, Damion only requires one thing: an apology, rather than bloodshed or self-inflicted punishment.

Weapons and Abilities
G carries only two weapons. The first of them is a metal pole given to him as a child. While it has no special characteristics, the young fighter is able to wield the weapon quite well and deal a lot of damage to opponents with it. His second weapon is a warcross, given to him by Richter of the Albu Aristocracy. This warcross, although difficult to wield, is extremely effective against enemies, acting as a long-range boomerang, a close-range substitute sword, and a defensive shield. Furthermore, thanks to Bonnie's upgrades, the warcross is even more powerful than it was during the battles with the Albu Aristocracy and the Demon Clan. From time to time, G did combat with Damion, and was somewhat adept at defeating his enemies with the possessed sword. However, G used to prefer not to wield the demon-sword, having been annoyed by its bloodthirsty behavior and rude attitude. It is only once the 24th Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament that G takes over as the primary wielder of the demon-posessed blade, having formed a psychic link with it. Despite this, the young warrior has not been influenced by Damion to resort to extreme bloodshed and selfishness, unlike Melody, who became ruder and slightly cold-hearted after using the sword with a mouth.

Even as a child, G has always had an unnatural amount of strength and stamina. This, along with training from Jackie Chun at an early age, has molded him into a formidable warrior. He even uses his tail during combat by tripping, smacking, and wrapping opponents with it. His most mysterious ability, however, is the fact that when he looks at a full moon, he transforms into a giant, mindless, and destructive ape; this only seems to happen when he has his tail.

Thanks to further training under Jackie Chun, G's abilities have increased dramatically. He is an extremely adept Mako manipulator, using it to shoot Mako Blasts, fly, sense the energy of others, and make powerful beam-type attacks, including the Kamehameha. Furthermore, his experience in the Strongest Under the Clouds Tournament and against the Albu Aristocracy, Demon Clan, and Pride's Rock rebels has made him fight strategically, quickly, and effectively.
