This story came into being as I was drawing Danny, Sam, and Tucker with three customized mobile suits from three different Gundam universes. At first I wasn't going to write this but the idea was too interesting and the Gundam Build Fighters anime was way too good that I couldn't resist that idea of placing the cast of Danny Phantom in it.
One very important piece needs to be mentioned. There are no going to be any ghosts in this story. If you are to ask me why, the answer is simple.
The real stars of this story are the mobile suit model or Gunpla as they will be referred to as. Yes the DP characters will be in the story as it wouldn't make sense for a Danny Phantom/Gundam crossover to no have them, but they are the ones who are playing with the Gunplas. Well them, other kids, teens, and several full grown men who will most likely not be named.
Now on with the story.
Space
What was once seen as the final frontier was now the staging ground for a war between the warring factions of the Earth and its space colonies. Large robotic weapons of war known as mobile suits were locked in combat with one another with massive battleship providing cover fire for their mechanized weapons. Each mobile suit was piloted by brave men and women who risked their lives fighting in a blood thirsty war.
On one large white battleship with two long loading bays pointed forward was preparing to send out one of their mobile suits to battle. The mobile suit flew out of the ship and flew towards the battlefield with a rifle in one hand and a shield in the other. The mobile suit was colored white with traces of blue on it. It had six triangular fins that looked like wings and two long fuel tanks below the wings. Its overall look was reminiscent of a samurai with glowing yellow eyes and a red beard. Inside the mobile suit was a young girl who was the pilot, who was flung into the war by accident yet she rapidly grew into an ace pilot thanks to her skills and the power of her mobile suit.
The RX-93-v Hi-v Gundam.
"This is Lt. Danielle Fenton," said the small twelve year old pilot as she focused on the battle. "I'm taking down the enemy!" she yelled as she aimed her rifle at an incoming enemy mobile suit.
"DON'T SHOOT DANI!" yelled a male voice.
"What the…?" started Dani as the image of a dark haired teenage boy with blue eyes appeared on her mobile suit's screen. "Danny?" she recognized the boy's face as her older brother.
"Dani, your Gundam's arm…." Danny tried to tell her.
Out in the battlefield, the Gundam's arm that held the rifle suddenly popped off to reveal a polycap that connected the arm to the shoulder.
"…wasn't snapped in completely," Danny finished.
"What!?" yelled Dani as her Gundam started to flail about in space and accidentally kicked the severed arm away, along with the rifle.
Suddenly, one of the enemy mobile suits appeared in front of Dani's Gundam and pointed its rifle at her. Dani looked at the screen in fear as the enemy fired its rifle at her.
End of Dani's dream
Dani screamed as she fell off of her bed and landed head first onto the floor.
"Ow!" yelled Dani as she started to rub her head before she untangled herself from her blanket.
"About time you got up shrimp," called out a male voice.
Dani turned around to see her big brother standing by her door with a smile on his face.
"Mom says it's time for breakfast," Danny told Dani before leaving his little sister alone.
A few minutes later, Dani was downstairs and heading for the kitchen to eat breakfast. Sitting at the table were Dani's siblings, her older brother Danny, which begs the question as to why their parents gave their youngest a similar name as their middle child, and her big sister Jazz. Jazz had just finished eating breakfast and was now reading a book on psychology while Danny was eating a bowl of cereal. Dani took a seat next to her brother after getting a bowl of cereal as well.
Suddenly a large explosion was heard in the basement but the Fenton siblings continued to eat. In about five seconds a large man in an orange HAZMAT suit appeared from the basement covered in soot. This man was Jack Fenton, the father of the three Fenton siblings, and he had something to tell his kids.
"Kids, your mother and I will be a little busy down in the lab. So if any of you plan on going anywhere, be sure to be home in time for dinner," said Jack just before a large mechanical tentacle grabbed him and pulled him back into the basement as he screamed.
"Okay Dad," said the Fenton siblings as they continued to eat or read.
After breakfast Jazz headed up to her room to study for a test, leaving her younger siblings back downstairs in the living room with Danny sitting on the couch while Dani was lying on the floor watching TV. What they were watching was a Gunpla match between what appears to be a Taurus from Gundam Wing and a G-Exes from Gundam AGE. Dani watched as the Taurus dodged the G-Exes's beam rifle shots while in its flight mode, eager to see how the black Gunpla will counterattack the white one.
"Hey Danny, who do you think is going to win?" asked Dani as she turned around to look at her older brother.
"Hard to say," replied Danny as he continued to watch the match. "The Taurus is fast but it doesn't mean anything if he doesn't fight back," he pointed out.
"Well I think the Taurus will win," said Dani as she returned her attention to the TV screen.
Just as soon as she looked at the screen, the Taurus was shot down by the G-Exes causing the youngest of the Fenton siblings to scream out in frustration because she didn't see the entire fight because she was talking to their brother.
"No Way!" yelled Dani as she stood up and grabbed the TV and started to shake it. "Play back the match!" she continued to yell as she continued to shake the TV.
"Dani let go of the TV!" yelled Danny as he got off the couch and pulled his little sister away from the TV.
"But I was robbed of a great match!" argued Dani as she struggled to get out of her brother's arms.
"And this is why Mom and Dad won't let you have a TV in your room," Danny pointed out as he set her down on the couch. "Tell you what, how about we go to the hobby shop today?" he suggested. "I'm sure that there will be a couple of guys having a match there," he added.
"Really?" replied Dani as she looked up at Danny with wide eyes.
"I'm positive," said Danny. "Just about every Gunpla Fighter in town goes there to have a match," he added.
The next thing Danny knew, Dani had ran towards her room and back into the living room with her wallet in hand while attempting to put on her shoes.
"What are you waiting for?" started Dani as she bounced around trying to put her right shoe onto her left foot. "Let's go already," she told Danny.
'We really need to get her to lay off the sodas every night,' thought Danny as he helped his sister put on her shoes the right way. 'It's hard to believe she's twelve and still can't put on the right shoe on the right foot,' he added.
After helping his little sister put her shoes on correctly, much to the embarrassment of Dani, the two younger Fenton sibling were on their way to the hobby shop, the only hobby shop in town. Since Danny was only fourteen and didn't have a car, the two of them walked to the hobby shop. Well, walked was a loose term since Dani was very eager to get to the hobby shop that she was running ahead of Danny which in turn caused the boy to chase after her.
When the two of them reached the hobby shop, Dani marveled at the sight of the shop. It wasn't a fancy place, in fact it was pretty generic, but the reason why she stood still looking at the shop was because on the windows were paintings of two robots locked in battle.
On the left was a white robot with a blue chest with red on the rib area, a samurai like helmet with a white V crest for the head, two white poles over its shoulders and on the backpack, and red feet. In its right hand was a rifle that was pointed at the other robot. The second robot was red with a mono-eye head with an antennae in the middle of its head. A spike shoulder pad on the left should and a slim L shaped shield on the right. In its right hand was a drum fed machine gun with the drum fed magazine on top of the gun. The white one was the RX-78-2, the iconic Gundam and the red one was the MS-06S Zaku II commander type, more specific the Zaku used by famous Gundam character Char Aznable.
Danny looked at Dani's expression and smiled at how his little sister liked anything involving Gundam.
'She's like so many other Gundam nuts,' thought Danny as he led his sister into the store.
Once inside, Dani immediately left her brother's side and started looking through all the display cases of completed Gunplas. Below the display cases were some of the model kits for those Gunplas. Danny on the other hand was looking at one of the aisles that were setup to have the model kits of the mobile suits from the Universal Century line. There were other customers who were looking through the selections of Gunplas. These customers ranged from teens to adults who were looking for their favorite mobile suits. Over to the right side of the store was a big flat screen TV that was playing footage of a Gunpla battle.
To the left of the TV was a large window to a room that had two people standing in front of a large hexagonal table-like device. Surrounding the table were particles that formed a see through wall that went up to the ceiling. This was a 3D image projector that not only creates holographic images of different locations to serve as the battlefield for Gunpla Battles, but the same particles that form the wall also manipulates the models into moving and replicate the effects of the weapons, thrusters, and any other feature to copy the abilities of the mobile suits the Gunplas are based on. The two people standing in front of the table were surrounded by a holographic interface with two glowing orbs that were used as the controls.
Danny left the aisle he was at and looked at the Gunpla battle and recognized one of the models engaged in battle. On the screen of the TV, Danny saw a black and purple Gunpla facing off against a gray, blue, and red Gunpla.
The black and purple Gunpla had a thin built with large shoulders. The left shoulder had a large shield with three big spikes, two on the top and one on the bottom. The outer part of the shield was purple while the inner part was black. The right shoulder had a large diamond shaped piece on the front and back of the shoulder. The arms were black with red blade like protrusion on the elbows that looked vaguely like shark fins. On each hand were three purple spikes on bands that looked like brass knuckles and the fingers were red. The torso was small and thin a black base with a purple center and two purple blocks on the sides. It had two red plates around the neck area that gave off the illusion of them being a collar. The head was small in comparison to the shoulders with three spike on the top that looked like horns, a face plate that looked like lower jaw to a shark and a red V shaped visor that hid its two eyes. The hip area had four pointed skirt armor pieces. The center looked like a purple spike with a red top, while the side skirts and the rear skirt pieces had purple triangular bases with black diamond like plate similar to the ones on the shoulders. The blacklegs of the Gunpla had short yet thick thighs while the rest of the legs were thin and long with purple ankle armor covering red and purple spike like feet. On the back was a long black pointed cylinder with curved purple wing stabilizers. Overall the Gunpla looked like the GNZ-005 Garazzo from season two of Gundam 00, but it was different from what it looked like in the anime.
The other one had a blue chest with red on the rib area much like the Gundam. The pauldrons on the shoulders were blue with white silver handles with holes in the center of each. The forearms had blue arm guards with a section that covered the top of its black hands with a yellow octagon on the center. In its right hand was a rifle that looked far more advance than the Gundam's. The legs were fairly normal look with the exception of the side skirt armor having thrusters on them. On the back were these large red and black wings with a large blue and white collapsible sword behind the right shoulder and a green collapsible cannon behind the left shoulder. The head was like the Gundam's but slightly more angular with a yellow V crest on the center of the head. This was the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam, the title machine from the anime Gundam Seed Destiny.
Danny watched as the Destiny fired its beam rifle at the Garazzo, but the black and purple Gunpla dodge the shots with ease. The Destiny placed its beam rifle onto the back of its skirt and pulled out the sword on its back. The sword folded into place just before a pink beam of energy emerged from the hilt of the sword and moved up until it was just below the bladed tip of the sword. The Destiny held the sword with both hands as it charged at the Garazzo, going with a horizontal slash.
However the Garazzo leaned backwards allowing the sword to move right past it. Suddenly, the two diamond plates on the right shoulder detached from the shoulder and flew at the Destiny with orange stationary beams emerged from the long pointed tips of the diamonds along with smaller orange beams from the sides and the shorter tip. The plates were called the GN Saber Fangs, and they flew around the Destiny and darted at its arms. The Destiny dodged the attacks while the Garazzo watched the Destiny dodge its attack before charging in with five orange beam popped out of its right hand giving it the appearance of a claw.
The Destiny continued to dodge the attacks from the Fangs only to turn around to see the Garazzo flying straight towards it with its beam claws close to each other to make a large beam saber out of the hand. Before the Destiny could respond, the Garazzo plunged its hand into the Destiny's torso, puncturing it and a portion of the beam saber sticking out of the Destiny's back. The Garazzo moved its fingers away from each other before ripping right through the Destiny's torso which resulted in an explosion.
BATTLE ENDED
With that declaration, the particles faded and the background field vanished revealing that Garazzo standing on the table due to its spike feet folding out so that it could stand while the Destiny laid on the table, the upper body separated from the legs. On the top of the hips was a small white peg and underneath the torso was a small hole which meant that the owner of the Destiny would be able to simply put the two parts back together.
The holographic interface also vanished to reveal the two players. One on the left was a male teenager with brown hair while the one on the right was a dark haired teenage girl in a black tank top, a black skirt, purple stockings, and black combat boots.
"Figures it would be Sam who was using that Garazzo," said Danny as he watched the players retrieve their Gunplas.
When the Goth girl exited the room, she spotted Danny and walked up to him.
"I was wondering if you were going to come here today," said Sam.
"Why?" replied a confused Danny. "Did we have plans or something?" he asked.
"We don't but I was kind of hoping that we could play a round against each other," said Sam while fiddling with her Garazzo.
Danny's eyes widened as he resided something important involving Sam's offer.
"Oh man, I forgot to bring my Gunpla," said Danny as he smacked his forehead.
"Seriously Danny, you forgot to bring that?" questioned Sam. "You know that most teens in this town practically have a Gunpla strapped onto their hips," she told him. "Heck, Tucker not only has his strapped to his hip, he's even got the extra weapons inside his backpack too," she added.
While Danny and Sam talked, Dani was looking through an aisle filled with model kits from the Gundam 00 line. She spotted a model kit with a picture of a black mobile suit with wings on its back and hips, carrying a rifle in its left hand and a type of sword in its right hand. Dani looked at the name printed in white.
"Graham's Union Flag Custom," Dani read out loud while holding up the model kit. "Who's Graham?" she wondered.
"Graham Aker is a very skilled pilot of the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations government," answered a grown man with a trimmed beard, who startled Dani for a moment. "He was one of the main antagonist to the Gundam Meisters of Gundam 00 and was mostly known for his amazing piloting skills and stubborn pride as he used mobiles such as the Flag in your hands young lady," he told Dani.
"Don't sneak up on me like that Mr. Position," Dani told the man as she set the model kit back where she found it.
"I'm sorry about that Dani," Mr. Position apologized to the girl as he went about his business.
Dani at that pointed decided to look for her brother, but unfortunately for her, Dani had bumped into someone. Dani looked up to see who she bumped into and noticed that it was an older teen boy with blonde hair with a red and white football jacket. The teen looked down at Dani and glared at her.
"Watch where you're going pipsqueak!" yelled the jock.
"Hey it was an accident," countered Dani.
The jock picked up Dani by her shirt.
"What did you just say?" the jock growled at the little girl.
"Let me go, you jerk!" snapped Dani as she struggled to get free.
"Or what?" taunted the jock.
"Leave her alone Dash," said a new voice which caused the jock to turn his head to see who said that.
"Danny!" cheered Dani as she saw her brother and his friend standing behind Dash.
"And what will you do if I don't Fen-toad?" remarked Dash.
"How about I tell Mr. Position that you're harassing a little girl in his store?" countered Sam.
"So you're having a girl fight your battles now Fen-ton?" Dash retorted.
"I wouldn't call this a battle Dash," remarked Danny.
"Well then how about we make this a battle?" suggested Dash as he put Dani down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Dani ran to where her brother was and got between him and Sam.
"How so Dash?" asked Danny.
"With that," answered Dash as he pointed at the Gunpla battle room. "Loser eats these in the school cafeteria!" he declared as he pulled out a pair of smelly briefs.
Danny, Dani, and Sam's reactions were to back away in disgust.
"Did he just pull those out of his jacket?" asked a very disgusted Sam.
"That is just not right," commented Danny.
"You're on!" declared Dani.
"What!?" yelled Danny and Sam as they looked down at the twelve year old.
"Good," said Dash as he put the pair of underwear back in his jacket. "You have one minute to get ready to taste defeat Fenton," he added as he headed into the battle room.
Dani looked up to her brother who was upset with her.
"What?" asked Dani.
"How am I supposed to battle Dash when I don't have a Gunpla Dani?" asked Danny.
Dani stopped to think about what her brother said before her eyes widened.
"Oops," said Dani.
"Perhaps I can be of service," said Mr. Position as he walked up to the kids. "You can rent out one of the Gunplas I let beginners use Danny," he told the male teen.
"Really?" started Danny. "Thanks Mr. Position," he told the shop owner before heading to where the rental Gunplas were with Dani and Sam following him.
Danny, Dani, and Sam were over at an open display table and looked at the Gunplas on it. There were two models, one of which looked like the Zaku II on the wall painting but instead of being red it was green and the antennae was not on it, it was the MS-06F Zaku II F type. Another model looked like the Gundam but it was simpler looking with a red chest and shoulders and a teal body. The head looked like a motorcycle helmet but with two holes on the forehead area. It had one white pole over its left shoulder and on the small backpack. It was holding a small gun in its right hand and a large shield in its left hand. This was the RGM-79 codenamed GM, the mass production version of the Gundam.
Danny picked up the GM and headed towards the battle room.
Beginning Plavsky Particle Dispersal.
Inside the battle room, Danny and Dash stood on opposite ends of the table. The table started to emit the particles while they stood watching each other.
Field 2: Desert
The particles started to create the holographic image of a desert area which would be the battlefield for this battle.
Please set your GP base
Danny and Dash did as the game's computer instructed and placed these hand held rectangular devices on the slots facing them. Outside the battle room, Dani looked at the devices in confusion about the devices.
"Sam, what's a GP base?" Dani asked her brother's friend.
"Well the GP base is used to register the players and… uh…" Sam tried to explain but couldn't figure out what else to say.
"The GP base is an accessory that the company that created the Gunpla battle system, the PPSE, for the sole purpose of Gunpla battling. They are programmed to display the names of each Gunpla, the builders, the fighters, and even the scale of the models. Though it is not confirmed, it is speculated that any special features that is put into a Gunpla is coded into these GP bases so that the Gunpla can use the customized abilities," explained Mr. Position as he appeared behind the two girls, much to their surprised.
'I swear it's like he's a ninja or something,' thought Sam before looking back at the battle room.
"Wow, so if you wanted to have an invisible barrier placed around your Gunpla, you just have to have the code placed in the GP base?" asked Dani.
"More or less," answered Mr. Position. "Now watch as the match is about to begin," he told Dani.
Please set you Gunpla
Danny and Dash placed their Gunplas on the GP bases. Inside the table, the holographic image of launch decks appeared around the models while the holographic interfaces surrounded Danny and Dash.
Inside the launch deck that Danny was using, the GM's head moved slightly up before the visor covering where its eyes would be flashed green for a second. The GM bent its knees slightly before the launch deck sent it flying towards the desert. The GM touched the sand which shifted under the weight of the GM's mass.
"The Plavsky particles are capable of not only manipulating the Gunpla models but can also recreate battlefields almost perfectly and even adjust to the movements of the models as if the field were the actual thing," explained Mr. Position.
Back on the battlefield, the GM moved its left foot to brace itself so that it wouldn't slip on the sand. It looked up to see its opponent and the sight of it made Danny flinch for a moment.
The Gunpla standing before the GM had the appearance of a football player including the head being designed after a football player's helmet. It had blue knuckle guards on its forearms with the part that would cover the fists pointed outwards slightly. On its hips were black guns that looked like magnum revolvers. The color scheme of the Gunpla was mostly white but it had red shoulder pads and a red chest. This was a Gunpla based on the GF13-006NA Gundam Maxter from the G Gundam anime series, but Dash calls it his Gundam Baxter which he named after himself for whatever reason he had.
"You're going down Fenton!" yelled Dash as he moved the controls for his Gunpla.
The Gundam Baxter charged at the GM with the intent to tackle it. Danny moved the GM to its right to dodge the attack. Once he saw the opening, Danny had his GM point its gun at the back of the Gundam Baxter. A pink beam of energy was shot out from the gun and hit the Gundam Baxter in the back but it did nothing to damage the Gunpla.
Dash got annoyed with how Danny dodged his attack so he turned his Gunpla around while taking out its magnum guns off its hips. The Gundam Baxter fired two shots at the GM but it used its shield to block the shots much to Dash's annoyance.
"Shields are for cowards!" yelled Dash as his Gunpla charged at the GM.
Danny saw this and let go of the shield just before Gundam Baxter could tackle him. When the Gundam Baxter knocked the shield down, it looked up see the GM firing its gun at its head. This time Danny was aiming for the head. Dash moved his Gunpla's arms to cover its head which left it open for Danny's GM to charge forward with the thrusters in its backpack and feet giving it extra speed. The GM grabbed the while pole on its backpack with its left hand. Once it moved its hand towards the ground, a pink beam of energy emerged from it and took the form of a thin sword.
Dash saw this and started to panic as the GM was closing in on his Gundam Baxter.
"No way!" yelled Dash in shock as the GM was just inches away from his Gunpla. "I can't lose to you!" he yelled again.
But Dash did lose as the GM stabbed the Gundam Baxter in the chest. The football player Gunpla dropped its arms and its head titled downwards. The pink beam shrunk down before dissipating so that the GM could jump away from the Gundam before it exploded.
Battle Ended
"Danny won!" cheered Dani as the plavsky particles vanished.
"He sure did," agreed Sam as she watched her best friend pick up the GM and the GP base and exited the battle room.
"Whether the Gunpla being used is a Gundam or a mass produced type. The quality of the Gunpla when it is built and the skills of the builder determine the performance of the Gunpla in battle and the skills of the fighter must be able to handle the Gunpla. These factors can determine the victor in Gunpla battles," said Mr. Position as Danny handed him the rental GM and GP base over to him. "You skills as a Gunpla fighter have improved Danny," he commented.
"Thanks," replied Danny as he rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a bit embarrassed with the praise he was getting.
"But I cannot help but wonder about your skills as a builder," Mr. Position brought up. "How is your little project on your own Gunpla going?" he asked.
"It's coming along nicely," said Danny. "But I can't seem to figure out what kind of thrusters I want to use to give it the extra speed I'm looking for," he admitted.
"Well then, let's take a look at some of the Gunplas and see if there is something that may inspire you," said Mr. Position as he led Danny towards some of the aisles to look at the model kits.
"Sure thing," said Danny before turning around to look at Dani and Sam. "Hey Sam can you keep an eye on Dani for a minute?" he asked the Goth girl.
"You do know you're asking for the impossible right?" Sam pointed out.
Author's note: Well that was the beginning of this Danny Phantom/Gundam Build Fighters story. Overall for a trial chapter, I would have to say I like how it came out. I know I could have describe a couple of more things such as what the Taurus and the G-Exes looked like but I decided not to because ultimately they weren't important to the plot of the story. The only time I'll describe the mobile suits is when they are involved in a battle revolving the main characters such as Sam's battle and Danny's battle against Dash.
One thing you need to know is that for Sam, her Garazzo is a slightly customized version to the actual Garazzo and not just because it's colored black and purple. The flying plates called the GN Saber Fangs are not a part of the Garazzo. They are the main weapons of a similar mobile suit from Gundam 00 called the Gaddess. The two machines share the same body type and are close combat units but they use different weapons.
There are other customized Gunplas that would be introduced but for the moment I'm unsure if I want to continue with this story. A part of me wants to continue this story but for the moment this chapter will be it until I finish another of my stories.
