Prologue


"Ring, ring, ring, ring…" The loud sound of the alarm was soon stopped by a press of a button. And from under the sheets, a black-haired male of the age of 15 came out, rubbing his gray eyes. He immediately came off of the bed, put on a pair of glasses, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, and changed into a black shirt and blue jeans. When he went down, he saw a thirteen-year old girl with black hair and eyes in her pajamas sitting at the table.

"You're up already Rio," he asked. The girl turned towards the boy and smiled a cheeky smile.

"Yea, mom's not home so can you make me an omelet Oni-chan."

"She already left?" The young girl nodded. The boy sighed weakly. "Alright, just wait a minute." After cooking the omelets and bringing them to the table, they started eating. After she was midway through, she glanced to her side and saw the glass case with multiple awards on it. One stood out on top:

Winner of the 9th Under-19 national championship

Rei Mangetsu

"Oi, Oni-chan, when is Rei-ni going to come back?"

"Don't know." Just when he finished his breakfast, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, a loud voice was at the other end.

"Oy, Ren! Where are you man?!"

"I'm in my house, finishing my breakfast. What about you?"

"I'm outside of your house. Now get out here before I drop a colony on you!"

"Sorry, but the requirements to drop a colony on me is a mask and a red mobile suit, neither of which you have I might add. But, I'll come out anyway." The boy hung up his cellphone, grabbed his plate and stood up to go to the kitchen. But before he went, his sister decided to interject.

"Nee, where are you and Daichi going?"

"To the hobby shop. Since mom isn't home, you mind getting dressed. I can't leave you here alone."

"O.K. Oni-chan"

After putting the plates in the dishwasher and washing his hands, he went to the door, put on white socks and black sneakers, and went outside to find a guy the same age as he is with extremely messy brown hair, white t-shirt, green military vest (The type with a lot of bulgy pockets), matching green pants, and green sneakers in front of him. This was his best friend, Daichi Sora.

"Finally you're out. Can we go now?"

"In a minute Daichi, we got to wait for Rio."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are we bringing your imōto?"

"Because I can't leave a 13-year old girl alone in a home until 12"

"That won't hap…" He was interrupted by Rio coming down in a red hoodie, pink mini skirt, spats, white socks that seemed stuffed down (A/N: you know how in some manga, some Japanese school girls wears white socks this way) and dress shoes.

"I'm ready."

"Alright, let's go" Ren and Rio walked down the street while Daichi sighed before running to catching up with them.

It took them 10 minutes to get to the mall, and another 5 minutes to get to the hobby shop inside. ORB was the only hobby shop for miles and got all of the recent releases, so it was very popular, so it wasn't unusual to find a lot of people inside even early in the morning. While Rio was amazed at the amount of gunpla in the store, Ren was busy picking one out.

"Should I get the Rasiel or the Barbatos?" Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to decide before Daichi came to him.

"Dude, you better check out this battle before it's over." Ren put away the gunpla boxes before following Daichi to the battle room with Rio close behind.

"BATTLE ENDED" The familiar robotic voice was heard as the plavsky particles dispersed. Unfortunately, this happened just as Ren, Rio and Daichi reached the battle room.

"Damn, we missed it." There they saw a GOUF Ignited (Yzak colors) face down on the floor with a Blitz Gundam standing over it. On the opposite sides of the battle system, there was a boy who looked one year younger than Ren and Daichi, and a guy who looked like he was in his 2nd or 3rd year of high school. Suddenly, the older boy spoke

"Ha, ha, ha, you called that a battle. I call that a one-sided beat down." He then took his Blitz Gundam, looked at the GOUF, then decided to take that too. "Someone like you doesn't deserve a gunpla like this"

Rio looked shocked at this. "Oy, what is he doing with that Zaku?"

After sighing at Rio's mistake, he decided to correct her. "That ain't no Zaku, girl. No Zaku." She looked confused at her brother's use of a gundam reference

The younger boy started to cry. "Hey, give it back." He tried to get it back however the older boy was too tall for him. Unfortunately, the shop manager was busy at the front counter and everybody else was too afraid of the high schooler to tell her what's happening. After a while, Daichi decided to get in the action, grabbing the gunpla from the older boy's hand and returning it to its rightful owner.

The older boy got mad at this act "Oy, what are you doing?"

Daichi argued, "That's what I should be asking you."

The older boy simply sneered. "Only the strong should play this game. The weak should just go home."

Daichi looked visibly angered by this comment and Ren, while not as forward as his friend, was also mad as he clenched his fist, which Rio took notice of. "Oni-chan"

"How about this, if you beat me in a gunpla battle, I'll turn myself in, if I win, I get off scot-free."

"Deal!" As Daichi was getting out his gunpla, a hand suddenly stuck out in front of him. He looked to the side and was surprised to find that his friend was the one who stopped him. "What are you doing Ren?!"

Ren simply went over to the battle system and then said, "I'll be the one who fights this guy."

"Seriously man, you said you didn't even play gunpla battle so why?!"

"Firstly, I'm pissed off at this guy as well. And secondly…" Ren turned his head towards his friend. "I never said I couldn't play gunpla battle." Ren turned back to the smiling high schooler

"Gunpla Battle, combat mode, start up. Model damage level set to C. Please set your GP base." Both of them set their GP base with all of their info inside of it. "Beginning Plavsky Particle dispersal. Field 1, Space. Please set your gunpla." The high schooler set his Blitz Gundam on top, with the surrounding Plavsky Particles bringing it to life. The area around it turned to a hanger as it was ready to go. "Battle Start." The Blitz Gudam took off from the hanger into outer space, barren save for a few asteroids

The older boy thought he had this in the bag and suddenly his gunpla turned invisible.

Rio was surprised at this development. "Hey, how did that gunpla turn invisible?"

Daichi, who went back next to her after the battle had started, decided to explain it to her. "The Blitz Gundam has the Mirage Colloid Stealth System which allows it to blend into the environment and prevent normal sensors from detecting it"

"Wait, so does that mean Oni-chan is in trouble?!"

"Yea."

The high schooler was certain that he was gonna win so he set the Blitz at simply cruising speed. "You can't hit what you can't detect."

Ren's glasses flashed as he kept a calm face. "I wouldn't be too sure of that."

Suddenly, the warning signal went off at the Blitz's side as the pink beam was heading towards the supposedly hidden Blitz. The high schooler dodged too late, and consequently, had lost the right arm.

"Wha..." Before he could finish, 3 more pink beams came. The first one grazed the left shoulder, the second hitting the left leg, and the final one hitting the Blitz straight in the chest, ending the battle then and there.

"BATTLE ENDED" As the particles dispersed, everybody around except Ren was shocked at this development. They all turned towards Ren, then at the gunpla he used, revealing it to be a Gundam Sadalsuud Type F. The main body was black, its many sensors were navy blue, and the parts that were originally orange were blood red. Its GN sniper rifle was reconfigured for left hand usage (meaning that its left hand was the one pulling the trigger and the right and was the one holding the grip). Other than these small customizations and the addition of Dyanmes' GN pistol holders on its leg, it's basically the same as the original, but even an amateur can tell it has a high level of completion to it.

The high schooler was visibly angry at the development, "How were you able to hit my Blitz Gundam with the stealth system on, HUH?!"

"It was because you used the stealth system that I was able to find your gunpla. I simply found where the radio waves were being blocked and discovered the Blitz's location that way. The technique is similar to the one used to find the original Ptolemaios in 00." The high schooler slumped in disappointment as he heard this. Ren then turned to Daichi. "Oi, Daichi, you mind getting the shop manager here."

After Daichi snapped out of the shock, he replied, "Yea," and left to go get the shop manager. When the shop manager came, Ren grabbed his gunpla and left the battle room.

"That was sugoi Oni-chan!"

"Thanks Rio" That's when Daichi decided to put Ren in a headlock

"Spill it, how did you get that good, Ren Mangetsu?"

"Get off of me Daichi." Ren, after saying that, broke off from the headlock and brushed off his shirt

Daichi simply laughed it off. "Sorry about that. Seriously though, with those skills, you can most likely win the regional, possibly even the nationals."

"Yea right, like I can win nationals."

"It was just a thought. Though last time I checked you're right handed, so why is you're sniper rifle configured like that?"

"I aim better with my left."

Unbeknownst to them, a girl with long strawberry blonde hair watched the battle, and was currently watching the three, and after they went back to looking at the gunpla, her mouth curled into a small smile
