DISCLAIMER: i do not own GBF. the plot and the original characters are mine
The crystal lit in golden orange light and a small ball of the same substance formed in front of it, electricity crackling all over its surface.
Almost as if it was a cannon…
"TAKE COVER!" Takeshi felt arms pulling him down, resulting in him losing his grip on his son, who was still on hand-rail, blue eyes wide in surprise and curiosity.
The light grew stronger, aimed at the toddler who seemed to have frozen.
It's going to hit him.
His son!
Takeshi screamed the moment the light erupted, hitting the toddler point blank in a beam of light.
"SEI!"
Prologue - And the world trembled
"The winner of the battle and the champion of the 9th world tournament is… Iori Sei, representing 3rd block Japan!" The crowd erupted in cheers as he lifted his semi-broken Gunpla, eyes shining with pride and tears.
I won! I had won all by myself. I had grown strong enough to be able to win the tournament without Reiji's help.
But where is Reiji? Sei opened his eyes and sneezed. The morning sunlight lit the darkness under the covers, making him sigh and remove them. He reflected back to the dream he had - It was only six months since his victory at the finals and it already felt like a far away, hazy memory. His gaze fell on the trophy standing on the desk and had a fleeting thought that he would have much preferred to have Reiji here without the trophy rather than have it without his friend.
He shook off his gloomy thoughts and forced himself to smile – Reiji had promised him after all that they would see each other again when he would grow stronger. The blunet smile turned genuine at that and he got up to prepare for school, subconsciously waiting for a certain redhead to comment about having to wake up so early.
At the table he could almost hear the redhead wolfing down the food and praising his mother, making her swoon in response. Then he realized what he was thinking and all appetite he had vanished. The teen sighed and placed down the fork and stood up, not noticing the sad look his mother, Rinko, was giving him. This scenario was reoccurring too often since he had won.
"Sei-chan?" The woman asked her son, knowing how he would respond. "You didn't even touch your food. That's the second time this week already."
"I'm sorry, mom. I'm just not hungry, that's all." He smiled weakly at her. "I'm going."
"Take care…" Rinko waited until the door closed behind him before she let herself sigh and put her face in her hands. "Please… someone bring his smile back."
At lunch period, China turned to Sei. "Sei-kun, do you want to eat lunch together?"
"…" She sighed and took out something from her bag and placed it on the boy's desk loudly. Sei didn't even flinch and didn't look away from the window.
China huffed, that was beyond rude already. She took a deep breath and –
"Sei-kun!" Said blunet jumped and turned to stare at the girl in confusion.
"I-Inchou?" He stammered when he saw her scowl. China sighed again and folded her arms. "How Many times have I told you to call me China?"
"S-sorry, China… so, umm… what did you want?"
"I was hoping to eat lunch," Her posture relaxed and she motioned to the thing she placed on the desk, a gunpla she had been working on last night. "And if you can, can you help me with it?"
"Of course!" Sei's eyes sparkled as he held the tiny model. "It's a Musha Gundam. The SD version was designed by Koichi Yamato and Craft dan representative, Yasui Hisashi while the Dynasty Warriors Gundam version is designed by Hajime Katoki. The concept began with more typical Gundam proportions, but it's famous for inspiring the long running SD Gundam franchise-" He continue rambled on the model, depression lifted from his shoulders.
China laughed, internally glad that he finally snapped from his brooding. She took out her o-bento and listened to the teen babble on and on contently. There is no way she would miss this for the world.
"I'm home!"
"Oh, welcome home, Sei-chan. Ara? China-chan," Rinko smiled brightly as the girl who was standing slightly behind her son. "Are you here to build Gunpla again with Sei, or perhaps for a date?" Her blue eyes twinkled as she entered her Sei match-making mode.
Here we go again, the teens sighed, their faces slightly red.
"Mom…"
"Oh, sorry, sorry," She waved them away. "Don't mind me."
Too late, they thought annoyingly as they closed the door to the stairs behind them, exhaling breath in relief. Then they exchanged looks and chuckled.
Shortly after they entered the living room of the apartment and sat on the couch. China eyed Sei and fingered her Musha. A week prior to the finals, Sei had asked her out on a date around the festival. Since then they had unofficially got together. She still felt overwhelmed and was scared that this would strain their relationship even after six months and many reassurances from Sei.
"China?" The boy's voice snapped her back to reality.
"Y-yes!" She blushed. How embarrassing, how could she allow herself to wander off like that? She placed the Gunpla on the table. "Can I see Cosmos?"
Even though Sei had made Build Strike Cosmos close to two years ago, he had refused to change the name and the base for the Gunpla. And since it had been such a long time and such a hassle to say the full name, Build Strike Cosmos had been nicknamed Cosmos by them both. In some way, China felt closer to the Gunpla, which she thought childish but still filled her with giddiness.
Sei complied and took out the blue white model from his pocket. He placed it on the table by the SD Gunpla gently and narrowed his eyes in thought. China eyed him as he smiled and repositioned both Gunpla so they held hands.
Perfect, he thought and laughed as China started sputtering, face all flushed.
"S-Sei-kun!" She was too cute, he laughed louder.
Wow, I sure rubbed off on you, His eyes widened and he looked around him frantically. China calmed down and stared at him in concern. "Sei-kun?"
"I was sure I heard—" But before he could finish, the room shook.
Sei and China snatched their robots and ran downstairs. The second the blunet slammed the door to the shop open, the ground rattled even harder and shelves were now falling. Sei covered China as glass shattered in a deafening noise, winching as the glass cut him, ears ringing.
"Sei!" His mom's scared shout vibrated along with the earthquake.
"Mom!"
"Get outside!"
The teens tried to find a safe road outside the shop, holding each other and the wall when a a ball pf dark blue light appeared in the middle of the wreckage. Sei's body stopped as if somebody had frozen it. He couldn't move.
"What is—" The light turned bright gold and everything was swallowed by it.
By the time the light faded, the earth quieted down and Rinko stared into an empty shop. Her eyes grew wide in horror and her hands went up to her face as she screamed in anguish.
"SEI!"
thoughts? what do you think of my new fic? what do you think will happen to sei and china? what was the light?
i thought of trying to write something more adventurous and fantastical than all the other OC inserted fics in the fandoms, which i am not saying are bad, some are really good, but i really want to see sei, china, Reiji, and Aila go on adventures or fight against each other.
this will have some gunpla and gundam, but will not be the main focus.
just a warning: there will be blood and torture, so prepare yourself. and this fic is a tragedy so beware. enjoy!
pairings: Sei/China and Reiji/Aila.
