Hey guys, LoneWo1f522 here! Before we get underway, I'm actually uploading this before my "Beta" (a friend I asked to proofread and criticize) gets back to me, so the chapter MIGHT change in the future. Next on the list of things to say, For those of you who came here from the ORIGINAL Cosmic Delta, I'm taking things a bit differently this time, this chapter itself being one of the bigger changes instead of jumping STRAIGHT into SEED. Lastly, I'd like to welcome you all to GBF: CE 71 Cosmic Delta!
Disclaimer, I dont own any of the Gundam Franchise nor do I claim to in any way. Writ Butler belongs to Nemesis Astraea whom I'd like to thank for giving me inspiration to do Cosmic Delta, and for letting me place it in the world he created for Build Fighters N and Eyes in Seed. Go check those out if you haven't already!
Gundam Build Fighters: CE 71 Cosmic Delta
RePhase 1: A Day in the Life
Various explosions ripped through the forest landscape as two humanoid silhouettes weaved through the trees, emerald and pink lances of energy streaking between them.
One of the silhouettes, an all white Gundam Vidar that was customized with various parts from the Blu Duel, landed among the trees, its feet tearing into the landscape.
The Vidar tossed away its rifle, part of the weapon glowing in a super-heated orange where a lucky shot had gouged out part of it. The rifle exploded in the brush, as Gundam retrieved the twin pistols in its front skirts.
The moment the pistols are primed and aimed, green lances of energy burst from their muzzles towards their target, a slightly modified, navy blue Advanced Hazel with twin shields on either arm, a beam rifle in one hand, a beam saber in the other, and a second rifle stowed neatly away on the backskirt. The sub-arm unit usually found standard on the Advanced Hazel was missing, but it had two identical shield boosters mounted on its backpack.
The dark machine bobbed and weaved through the combination of trees and beam fire, and the shots it couldn't avoid blocked by its shield, carbon scoring marring where the shots landed. The Hazel's own rifle belching pink lances of energy in response.
The Vidar once again took to the air, evading what beams it could, the others diffusing off its nano-laminate armor leaving only minor carbon scoring behind.
Two spectators, a boy and girl, watched the unfolding battle from a dark room beyond a shimmering blue barrier as neither combatant gave even an inch in their deadly dance through the forest now set ablaze from all the explosions and near misses.
"Its surreal isn't it?" Muttered the girl as the Hazel charged in for a beam saber strike.
"What was that Holly?" Asked the boy, the Vidar blocking the strike with its left forearm and retaliating by kicking its opponent into a blazing tree.
"I-Its weird Scott, usually in gunpla battle you hear a good amount of banter between the fighters, but with Geoff and James: nothing." she replied as the Hazel stood up, a gash in its chest and its rifle fallen away.
"Well, I guess there's little need for words when it comes to those two." he said as the Hazels boosters flared propelling the machine the machine backwards as its torso mounted multi-launchers unfolded and fired something into the forest.
"Smoke?" she asked as the forest was consumed in a large cloud of white smoke.
"I didn't think Geoff would use the smoke launchers on the Hazel." he said as the Vidar shot out of the smoke into the air above, a thin layer of soot now covering its armor.
The two went quiet once more as the Vidar's blue optics scanned the white and black cloud for movement.
After a few moments of hovering low above the smokescreen, the Vidar watched a dark shape rocket out of the smoke right past it.
Turning to get its weapon pointed at the object, the Vidar discovered that it was only one of the Hazel's shield boosters that rocketed into the sky.
As the Vidar was returning its attention to the smoke, the Hazel rocketed out from the haze, body checking the Vidar before grabbing it with its left arm.
As the Vidar struggled to right itself and throw the Hazel off, the later grabbed its spare beam rifle with its free hand and jammed the barrel into the unarmored abdomen of its opponent.
A single discharge sounded, the rifle spewing a pink fire that drilled through one of the Vidar's Ahab reactors and out the armor on the other side.
The Hazel released its grip on its foe and as the two machines fell apart the Vidar snapped one last shot at the Hazel, the emerald lance of energy ripping through the Multi-launcher on its left shoulder and striking the fuel tank of the remaining shield booster found mounted just behind it.
Two explosions lit up the sky, consuming both the Vidar and Hazel in a lavender cloud of smoke and fire.
The smoke from the explosions started dissipating, revealing the Hazel, now scorched and battered, missing its head, backpack and left arm, slowly descending thanks to its now weakly sputtering leg boosters, and the Vidar nowhere in sight.
[BATTLE ENDED]
The blazing forest environment broke apart into shimmering blue particles which descended into a hexagonal table. On the table stood the Advanced Hazel, its missing limbs and equipment scattered around it. The Vidar, still in one piece, lay face down close by, its white armor now scratched and darkened.
"Good game, that was some really impressive movement out of a kit thats still incomplete." I say as I reach down and reattach the missing parts of the Hazel I was using.
"Dude, you didn't do me any favors by using that Hazel. Seriously, why were you using that instead of you usual Unicorn?" James asked as he picked up his Vidar and inspected the damage.
James was wearing his usual grey tshirt and black pants, while I was wearing black pants, non-slip shoes a blue polo shirt and an apron adorned with the Vist logo from Unicorn.
"I'm only allowed to use the cafe's kits when I'm at work." I answer walking over to a table.
Sitting at the table was Holly, who was wearing a white tshirt and denim shorts, her auburn hair done up in a ponytail. Next to her was Scott, the raven haired young man wearing his usual Black pants, grey vest and green dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up.
"So? The store has a few Unicorns available to use, even some of those hard to get Phenex variants." he replied pointing over to a display case behind the counter across the room.
"Plus its nice to switch it up every so often, using the same thing over and over will get predictable, its like asking for someone to kick my ass." I say as I set the Advanced Hazel on the table.
"Well, I'd by lying if I said I didn't see your point. So come on, lets go another round!" He said, holding out his Vidar.
"While 1v1's are great and all, shouldn't you be doing some team practice too? If you don't you might get your ass handed to you in the first round of that upcoming team tournament." I say while picking up a cup of iced coffee I'd left on the table.
"I bet your just scared I'll beat you this time." he said causing me to make an amused sound.
"Geoff's right you know. If we're going to get anywhere in that tournament we need to practice as a team." came a voice from across the room.
Standing by the door was a girl black cherry haired who was sporting a sleeveless black blouse and a knee length red skirt.
"Sorry I'm late guys, you know how my parents can be." she said.
"Yeah, I know 'We must convince our darling princess that those peasents are not worth her time.'" I said with the best snobby rich mother impression I could muster, Scott stifling a laugh in the background.
"Oh, ha ha, very funny." she said as she walked over to the table and set her bag down.
"Well, I'm glad your finally here Rose, lateness aside. Your boyfriend over there has been hounding me for 1v1's all day." I say as I gesture towards James.
"Has he now?" she asks, shooting him a glare.
"Look dude, I know you wanna better yourself, but your prepping for a TEAM tournament, you have to practice teamwork." I say, James looking away with a huff.
"So, why don't we grab a 6th out of the battlers who are around and have a 3v3 before I head back and help Aina? Cant leave my cousin hanging after all." I continue.
"Why do you need to go back and help?" James asked, looking somewhat disappointed.
"You DO remember he's at work, right?" Scott chimed in.
"He's right, I'm at work, and I can only justify battling you guys as entertaining guests for so long, I have to go back and actually do my job." I say.
"Fine." James groaned in defeat, inciting a small giggle from Holly.
"That being said, I can spare one last match." I said as I scanned the crowd.
"Hey, Alex!" I called over towards a battle that had just ended, seeing as the field was still disappearing.
"Huh? Oh, whats up Geoff?" a tall and skinny boy, similar build to myself, responded.
"We need 1 for a 3v3, I was wondering if you'd join us?" I ask, gesturing to the everyone at our table.
"Sure, but who are the teams?" He asked while retrieving his Gunpla from the battle system. His Gunpla was a Geara Doga painted in German grey and olive drab, the biggest difference from a standard Geara Doga was that his had a sniper rifle similar in design to the one used in the 7th Gunpla Battle World Championships by the Rentaro Brothers on their GM Sniper K9.
"James, Rose and Scott against You, Holly and myself. Gotta help them practice for that upcoming tourney." I said before standing up and straightening my apron.
"Sounds good." Alex replied.
The six of us walked over to one of the larger battle systems set up for group play. The battle ended after a few minutes of conflict and I went back to making drinks and serving the cafe's customers.
About four and a half hours past between the end of the battle and when my shift ended. So at the end of my shift I clocked out, hung up my apron, said my goodbye's to Uncle Packard and Aina before heading home.
[A/N] Well, that's the first chapter, I figured I'd need to establish some character this time before jumping STRAIGHT into the SEED goodness. Aina and the mention of Uncle Packard you may recognize if you read the one-shot I wrote called "Nightmare's Trial", check that one out if you have not already. You also get an intro to my RWBY team here, but the James Ashford here in Cosmic Delta is gonna be a different character compared to his RWBY counterpart, but the others will mostly act the same. I'd like to hear your guy's opinion on this chapter, so don't forget to review, I'll try and reply to the reviews via DM for those with accounts, or for y'all Guests who just wanna hang but still want to be included, I'll have an area to reply to guest review in the A/N of the coming chapters. Still, its good to be back and writing! Hope it doesn't take too long for me to finish up the next chapter! See ya then!
