Gundam Build Fighters B

Chapter 01: Once Upon a Twin Drive

This is the story of a Boy named Theo Stewart who dreams not of battling gunpla, but simply making them fly.

Location-Stewart Family Home, Worcester, England

Time: 7:30am

Theo aged eight wakes up and decides to get dressed and heads downstairs to talk to his mom about his father.

Mum, "when's dad coming home from the world championship qualifying tournament, i really miss him and he promised to help me build my gundam when he got back and that was Thursday evening before he got on the train to London" said Theo sighing heavily.

With a grin on her face, his mum replied by saying "Well your father made it to the semi-finals and they don't have that match and the final match until later on today Theo, but remember to eat up quickly, you father asked if me and you wanted to go and watch him at the arena, so we'll be getting on a train at 11am to go down to London"

Really?! Said Theo with an excitement becoming of his age and youthfulness, "does that mean I'll get to see dad's new Wing Zero Vanity again? Because dad didn't let me see it at all, actually the first time i saw it was Saturday morning during the Top 64 round when he replaced his Nemo which was damaged from the day before" as he wolfed down the cereal that front of him.

"Yes Theo, of course your father will be using his Wing Zero Vanity besides he telling me how excited you'd be when you saw it, oh and remember Grandpa Rick from Florida is in London watching your dad as well and he said he'd stay for a month before going back to the family circus, so be on your best behaviour and possibly when you build your gundam, grandpa might give you some lessons on controlling it" she answered

"Mom can we go already, i really wanna see dad and grandpa rick, I'm really excited, i can't wait!"

"Ok Theo, let me go and get ready and we'll leave as soon as I'm done, you might as well watch the highlights from yesterdays matches while you wait" said his mother with a smile forming upon her face

His mother leaves the room and heads upstairs, Theo Rushes over to the 3-seater chair in his living room and switches on BBC Two which shows the highlights of Gunpla Battles worldwide on its popular show Universal Century

Announcer: Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Universal Century, your home for gunpla battles worldwide, today's main stories are as follows, The Semi-Finals of the national uk tournament to qualify for next year's 3rd Gunpla world championship are underway and the semi-Finalists are last year's winner John Ayers Mackenzie, Stacy Fellows, Daniel Wellington The 2nd and last year's 3rd place Jonathan Stewart who came through an impressive top 8 battle against last year's runner-up Simon James which those in attendance have called this year's match of the year, let's watch the battle that allowed Jonathan to advance to the semi-finals.

So the gunpla being used in this match are Mr. Stewarts impressive looking Wing Zero Vanity and his opponent Mr. James is using the Tallgeese Skyburst

Wing Zero Vanity

A Grey Wing Zero with sliver and multiple tones of grey making up the majority of the kit, the wings on the back are the basic wing zero custom wings with an additional 2 wing attachment to give the kit a greand total of 3 pairs of wings, the wings are a very light sliver with edges of normal sliver, the weapon set is pretty much the same except the vanity carries a custom small shield that is attached to the left arm

Tallgeese Skyburst

A basic Tallgeese with an additional 2 verniers and another dober gun on the left shoulder done in a blue colour scheme with white trim

And the battle begins with the wing zero flying gracefully towards the location of the Tallgeese.

Wow, Dad's Wing Zero Looks So amazing, the way the feathers move while it flies and the fact that the colours make it so beautiful, i guess that's why he called it Wing Zero Vanity

Suddenly the wing zero comes under heavy fire from the twin dober guns of the Tallgeese who proceeds to boost towards the wing zero while shelling it from a distance, the wing zero uses it's shield to block some of the shells but it really isn't doing much due to its small size, it's much better used for melee weapon attacks but suddenly the wing zero boosts at high speed towards the Tallgeese and deploys a beam saber from the top of the right wing after discarding the twin buster rifle and forcing the Tallgeese to detach the dober guns and instead attack with its beam saber and this is really making both pilots calculate the number of strikes they do now plus any openings the other leaves, but suddenly the wing zero shifts backwards slightly to dodge the attack of the Tallgeese and deploys a second beam saber from the left wing and it starts to rapidly attack the Tallgeese and it finds itself unable to defend against the relentless barrage of the wing zero and this is the trade mark technique of Jonathan Stewart, the Twin Spectre Special.

And after that the battle ends and Mr. Stewart raises his wing zero in a rather cheesy victory pose before going over to Mr. James and shaking his hand and thanking him for the battle.

It's impressive stuff quite frankly, now let's get up to date with other tournaments around the world starting with the Japanese 2nd block qualifiers, the man referred to as the 2nd mejin kawaguchi absolutely dominated the qualifiers with his longest battle lasting 1 minute and 47 seconds, many players have attributed this to the fact the sponsors of the world tournament PPSE are sponsoring him.

Elsewhere the Canadian national tournament is about to start the last match to determine their representative and expectation is on the 3rd place on from last year's world tournament Scott Harris to win against the mysterious hooded figure known as Mr. V who is new to the tournament scene.

"Theo, get your bag ready, we'll be leaving in ten minutes to head to the station"his mother shouted from upstairs

Theo thought to himself about how quickly time had passed and he couldn't wait to see his dad and grandpa, he decided to get to his bag from his room, and as he grabbed it from his room, he saw something strange on his bookshelf, he was sure it wasn't there yesterday, as he approached he saw that it was a 1/144 scale GN Drive which had been modified to work like the one's on the 1/100 MG 00 gundam, and on the drive where it would plug into the gundam he saw a small chain attached through a joint on a polycap.

Just then his mother appeared in the doorway, "Theo, your dad left that for you as a gift before he left, he has another one just like it which he wears around his neck, he told me that he wanted you to always love gunpla, no matter how it's used, and he also told me that a GN Drive is the perfect gift for you, someone who just wants to fly gunpla, and see how beautifully they move".

Theo attached the chain around his neck and with a smile opened his mouth and muttered something, his mother was unsure if she heard him say something but she knew that it must have been a thank you for something so meaningful

"Mum, i really wanna show dad how this looks" Theo said

"Sure honey, let me get my bag and coat and we'll go" replied his mother

Location: Worcester Shrub Hill Station

Time 9:56

(Sound of an announcement rings through the station) The next train to platform 1 is the 10:02 service to London Paddington calling at Oxford, Reading and London Paddington only this train is made up of 9 coaches; please make sure to mind the gap when stepping on or off the train.

"Here we go Theo, only another 2 hours until we see your dad" said his mom cheerily

"Mum this trip's gonna take forever...Make it go faster" Theo said sighing as he did so

"Well figured you might get bored so i booked us in the coach next to the gunpla battle coach so you can go and play or watch for a while" his mom said grinning slightly as she said so

"Yay, thanks mom" he replied giving her a small hug in appreciation

They both board the train which has now stopped at the station and they find their seats and the train then begins to move towards its next destination

"So Theo, no matter what happens to dad today in the tournament, you'll be behind him 100% right?" said his mom

"Of course mum, besides dad built a really beautiful gunpla and that alone makes me proud to be his son, but what i really want to tell him is thank you for the gift"

"I see, well i bet your father will be happy then" his mother said turning towards the window and smiling
