A/N: I have completely fallen in love with the Gundam Build Fighters anime. It is one of the best ones out there right now with great animation, smart writing, kick-ass soundtrack, epic action, and quite a fair deal of comedy to keep thinks light. Anyways, here is my fanfic for this great series, but first I want to make a couple of clarifications. Just like in the GBF, both original models and customized models will be use. Also, any design from the entire Gundam franchise is fair game, even those that have not had a Gunpla mode made out of them.

Building Destiny

Impulsive Actions

Every time that Gundam Dynames squeezed the trigger of its high power sniper rifle a curtain of sand would rise in the distance. Unfortunately, despite of the Mobil Suit's best efforts, its shot could not keep up with the blue blur that was quickly approaching in a serpentine pattern. Soon, the sniper rifle became useless because the shortened distance, forcing the Dynames to let it drop to the ground and quickly switch onto its Beam Pistols, but it was too late as the blue blur shot up into the air before the Dynames could even aim its guns.

The very next second, Dynames was laying in the desert sand with and a glowing Flash Edge beam boomerang pointed straight at its head.

Outside the battlefield, Dynames' operator let out of sigh of defeat. "Ok I give up… I guess I really can't beat you…" The young man said as he hit the command to surrender in his side of the Battle System.

"BATTLE END" The projector immediately called out as the Plavsky Particles dissipated from the table and the dessert stage disappeared, leaving the two Gunpla models inert.

"Heheh, you're 10 years too early to beat my Fighting Impulse!" Leo Allcraft cheerfully and proudly stated as he grabbed his customized ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam model.

Immediately, all the members of the school's Gunpla Model Club surrounded Leo, some of them already had tears in their eyes.

"We're really going to miss you, Leo!"

"Make sure to e-mail us all as soon as you get settle in!"

"Man, you sure are lucky to be moving there."

"Are you going to try one of those Maid Cafés?"

"Hahah, you're their problem now."

Leo simply smiled at all of his friends and fellow club members. This was the last time he would get to hang out with his friends, since the next day he and his family would be moving to Japan because of his father's transfer.

Barely containing his own tears, Leo gripped Fighting Impulse tightly in his hand and raised over his head. "You guys just wait, in a year's time I will make sure that this Fighting Impulse you all help me build becomes the top Gunpla model in all of Japan, and by the time the next World Tournament is over they will be crowing the first ever North American Gunpla Fighter Champion!" The young raven haired teen declared, receiving cheers from the rest of the Gunpla Model Club.

Several days letter, a boy with slightly tanned skin, unruly black hair, and vibrant blue eyes walked excitedly into his new class room. Having spent the last several months, ever since he had learned about his father's transfer, trying to learn Japanese, the sixteen year old teen could follow what the teachers was saying fairly well.

"Everyone, please welcome the newest member of class 2-D, Allcraft Leonardo." The teacher announced as she gestured at the raven haired boy.

Leo smiled brightly at his new classmate who in turn gave him looks ranging from mildly curious to completely indifferent. "Please call me Leo." He said jovially.

"He comes from the United States, so I'm sure we are all going to try out best to make him feel welcome." The teacher added, receiving a half-hearted responds from her class. Nevertheless, she ignored her student's lack enthusiasm and simply continued. "Mr. Allcraft, please take empty seat in the fourth row, the one by the window."

With a short nod, Leo walked to his desk and sat down as the teacher begun her lesson.

Despite having a fairly good understanding of the Japanese language by now, Leo could barely hear the teacher's lecture. Even all the way back in the States, Tsukurite High School's Gunpla Model club was quite famous for being one of the largest and highly skilled Gunpla clubs in the country. The moment Leo had found out that they would be moving near the renowned school, he begged his parents to enroll him in Tsukurite, which had apparently needed his father's new office the intercede in Leo behalf to make it happen.

Needless to say, the raven haired boy was not going to let all of the efforts go to waste. As soon as he had a chance he would go down to the Gunpla Model club and, no matter what happened, he was going to join in.

Though for now, all that Leo could do is wait for his chance, and maybe pay attention to the actual class while he was at it.

A couple of hours, one and half pages of notes, and a drawing of Hi Nu fighting Strike Freedom later, the teacher announced that it was time for their lunch break.

"Great! Now I have to track down the Gunpla club and join before the break is over!" Leo thought excitedly as he put away his notebook and pen. The American's train of thought was cut short when he realized that someone had walked up to his seat.

Looking up, the young man saw a pretty girl with long purple hair and a small, kind smile standing by his desk. "Hi! My name is Ushio Asami." She presented herself. "I'm the Class Representative and Miss Yuriko asked me answer any questions you may have about the school." Her smile widened slightly. "So is there anything you want to know?"

Immediately, Leo's eyes shined in excitement. "As a matter of fact, there is!" He called out as he jumped to his feet, surprising the Class Rep. "Please take me to the Gunpla Model club!" The young man requested.

Hesitation appeared in Asami's eyes. "Uhm… The Gunpla club…?" She repeated, her demeanor suddenly becoming timid. "Are… Are you sure…?"

Leo gave his classmate a confused look. "Of course! Tsukurite High's Gunpla Model club is world famous, I want to meet them and join up!" He explained.

Asami bit her bottom lip. "I don't think joining that club will be possible…" She commented.

"I know that some clubs only accept new members during a specific time period, but I know that if I could just meet them I would convince them to let me join." Leo said, undeterred by the girl's words.

The Class Rep fidgeted a bit. "Is not like that…" She simply said.

Scratching the back of his head, Leo gave another confused look. "Then what is it? Why do you say I can't join the Gunpla club?"

A sigh escaped Asami. "Is not something we're not particularly proud of, but I think is better if you see it for yourself…" She said. "Please follow me." The Class Rep added as he led Leo out of the classroom.

The two teens walked out of the main building and crossed the school yard until they arrived at a small adjacent building. In front of its doors there was a line of over half a dozen students, all of them with Gunpla models in their hands.

"Is that their clubroom?" The American teen asked excitedly, receiving a small nod from the girl. "Cool! But why are there so many students line up outside? Are they part of the club?" He asked.

A very pained look appeared in Asami's face. "Just watch… You will soon understand everything." She said as, almost as if on cue, the doors to the building opened and a large student with short brown hair walked out.

"Heheh… It seems we have quite a lot of hopefuls today." The young man commented as he took out a list. "Ok, let's get started…"

The first student in the line gave the brunette his Gunpla, a Superior Gundam with a customized, Titan-theme color scheme, and what appeared to be his Student ID card.

The guy at the door inspected the model. "Hmm… The paintjob is nice and I can see that you've improve its movement since the last time you applied for membership." He said.

Leo looked at Asami. "They test applicants' Gunpla models before they let them join?" He asked as realization started to dawn on him

For her part, the purple haired girl simply shook her head. "Just keep watching." She said looking at anything but the door.

"Now this riffle looks like a complete costume job…" The club member continued. "It looks fairly powerful… I'll give you five points for it." He said as he took the weapon off the Gunpla and casually tossed the S Gundam back to his owner. "With five more from the improvements you've made that's a total of 10 points, just 40 more and you'll get your shot… Next!" The student called out as he pocketed the rifle and its owner walked away with a sigh of defeat.

Immediately, Jullian turned to Asami with a bewildered look. "What the hell was that?!" He asked in a mixture of anger and confusion.

The Class Rep's eyes were downcast. "They make all new applicants do this… They rank how well their Gunpla is made and whatever part they like, they simply take it, in exchange they give the applicants points, until they reach 100." She explained. "But even that doesn't guarantee them a spot, all it gets is a shot at fighting a members, and if they manage to impress the club then their finally in." She added as the second person in line had to give his entire F90 Gundam model in exchange for 35 points. "Of course by that point the applicants have lost all their best parts, so very few make it in."

By the time the young woman had finished, Leo was already shaking in anger. "That does it! There is no way I can let this go on!" Leo declared before turning around and starting to walk towards the building's door.

"Leo... Wait!" A surprised Asami called after the raven haired boy, but to no avail.

"Hey!" The American teen shouted as he got near the club member. "How dare you take someone else's Gunpla and parts?!" Leo shouted as he walked towards the brunette student.

The member of the Gunpla Model club looked at the raven haired teen with a mixture of confusion and annoyance. "Just who the hell are you, foreigner?" He questioned.

"I'm someone who is disgusted by what you are doing." The American teen simple responded. "How could you take away their models when all they want is to join your club?"

A growl of frustration escaped the club member. "What is it you? What do you care so much about their Gunpla?"

Leo's eyes narrowed at the question. Quickly, he brought out Fighting Impulse. "Because I am a Gunpla Builder too and I can't believe what I'm looking at here."

The large student barely heard Leo's words as his attention had immediately become fixated on Fighting Impulse.

The original Impulse frame had been made more slender, there was a second set of CIWS gun in the head, the original double V on the forehead had been replaced by a single wide V, a pair of Flash Edges was strapped into the model's hip, and there were extra thrusters embedded in the legs and shoulders for mobility. The paintjob remained fairly true to the original scheme, but with golden highlights throughout the body. Even from afar it was obvious that every care in the world had been taken during the construction and painting of the model, making it an undeniably high-quality Gunpla.

"Listen new kid, is clear that you came here hoping to join the club yourself." The brown haired teen suddenly started to say. "I'm a sucker for Cosmic Era, so how about I forget your littler outburst and give you all 100 points in exchange for that Impulse Gunpla you have there." He offered with a smirk.

"What?!" Leo shouted in disbelief. "There's no way in hell I will give you my Gunpla!" He added angrily.

Unfazed by the smaller student's outburst, the brunette's smirk widened. "I figure as much… Then how about this? You get one battle against me, you win and you're in, but you lose and your Impulse is mine." The club member offered. "Or are you scared that your model won't cut it?"

Narrowing his eyes, Leo took a step forward. "No, how about this, I win and you give back that Gunpla and the riffle you took and let all this guys into the club!" He countered as he signaled at the students that had been waiting in line, who in turn shifted their attention between the raven haired and the brown haired Builders with a mixture of fear and hope.

"Leo, you don't know what you're doing…!" Asmai said nervously as she tugged on her classmate's sleeve trying to get him away from the club.

A booming laugh escaped the larger teenager. "Hahah, you have balls, I'll give you." He said. "Since I'm sure that there is no way a foreigner like you can beat me, I accept." The young man announced before opening the door to the club.

The first floor of the club room had one of the biggest Gunpla Battle System that Leo had seen in person; it was larger than two ping-pong tables. "Nothing but the best for Tsukurite High School's Gunpla Model club." The brunette said as he walked the far end of the Plavsky Particle projector.

Leo went to the opposite end as the club applicants hurriedly pooled into the room, standing on the American teen's side and eagerly waiting for the fight to start.

"You can still back out of this, Leo." Asmai continued to try to persuade her new classmate. "You don't want to take the Gunpla club head on." She stated.

Turning around, the raven haired boy gave the girl a smile. "Thanks for your concern, but Fighting Impulse and I got this." He declared giving a thumbs up.

"PLEASE SET YOUR GP BASE." The table requested as soon as it was turned on and both fighters acquiesced. "COMMENCING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL." A million specks of light emanated from the projector, forming an urban terrain. "FIELD 5, CITY." Both fighters were encased by holographic walls. "PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA."

The American teen looked down at his model. "Let's do this, partner." He said before placing it in the platform. Immediately, Fighting Impulse's eye lit up.

"I promise I won't do too much damage… After all, I don't want a broken product." The club member said as he brought out a skillfully built Bolt Gundam and placed on the table.

"BATTLE START" The projector announced as the interface appeared in front of both fighters.

"Serizawa Yoshio, Bolt Gundam, let's go!" The brunette called out as his Gunpla was propelled into the stage.

"Leo Allcraft, Fighting Impulse Gundam, launching!" The American shouted as his own model was shot forward.

The two Gunpla landed right in the middle of the holographic main street. "Let's end this quickly so that I can get something to eat." Yoshio said as he commanded the Bolt Gundam to move forward and fling the Graviton Hammer on its right shoulder.

By the time the metal ball impacted, all that it managed to hit was the ground since Fighting Impulse had easily dodged it to the side. "Brute strength is the worst possible way to try to take us down." Leo said in full confidence.

A short laugh escaped the brunette. "Hah, not with this level of power!" He counter as he made the Bolt Gundam swing the Graviton Hammer around, destroying all the structures standing within the weapon's radius.

Leo had no choice but to command Fighting Impulse to jump back, away from the destructive weapon's reach.

"Gotcha'!" Yoshio called out right before the thruster in Bolt's back ignited.

In a surprising show of speed, the bulky Gundam shot across the stage and closed the distance between it and its opponent in a matter of seconds, driving its left shoulder into the Impulse.

Asami and the other students gasped at the sickening sound made by the impact between the two Gunpla.

Despite how the battle was looking, a smirk appeared in Leo's face. "Just because Fighting Impulse is a speed base model don't make the mistake of thinking that it's weak." He said before the Impulse planted its feet firmly on the ground and halted the Bolt Gundam's momentum.

Fighting Impulse placed its hand on its opponent's frame and started to push the heavier model back. Reaching into its hip with one hand, Fighting Impulse grabbed one of its Flash Edges and with one quick, upward slash severed Bolt Gundam's left arm off.

"What?!" Yoshio exclaimed as his damaged Gunpla staggered back. Shock soon gave way to anger. "You insolent bastard!" The club member screamed as he flung the Graviton Hammer once again.

With ease, Fighting Impulse jumped back out of the attacks reach. Still in midair, the blue Gundam threw the beam boomerang in his hand.

The glowing blade flew across the stage gracefully before arcing down onto the bulky Gundam and, before Yoshio could reel his weapon back, cut off Bolt's remaining arm off. "Wha… What?!" The larger student was left stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Yoshio Serizawa did not have time to recover before all the forward thrusters in Fighting Impulse ignited and the blue Gunpla charged forward at a blinding speed, its second Flash Edge glowing in its hand as the Cosmic Era model drove it into the Bolt Gundam's midsection.

A triumphant smiled appeared in Leo's face. "It's over!" He declared before commanding Fighting Impulse to follow through with its assault, slicing the bulky Gunpla across the waist.

There was a power surge in the remains of the Bolt Gundam before the two pieces detonated in a powerful explosion. Eventually, the dust started to settle, revealing an unscathed Fighting Impulse standing alone, its eyes glowing in the middle of all the smoke.

"BATTLE END."
