Hello Again!
I think its exactly a month after I posted my last chapter, and I bet some of you were tired waiting for my next release (If you're actually interested in my junk, that is :p).
To be honest this should be twice as long as I intended to be, but I decided to cut my current chapter in half. I kinda find it daunting to write a whole bunch of words packed in one huge chunk of internet page, plus I'm itching to post my chapter even if it's still a complete mess. I'm hoping the chapter's quality won't be diminished by this.
By the way some aspects of the Gunpla Battle System and weapon systems would be slightly different from the anime compared to the one you will read in here, such as the transformation system of some HG kits, Plavsky particle manipulation theory and properties of some weapons/power-up systems when placed on the Plavsky particle generating machines. If you think I did something wrong then I apologize, I'll just do more research, no need to flame me for it.
So if you find any typos and wrong grammar usage just inform me on the reviews. I'll try to fix them as soon as I can.
...Damn, I really want a real live Gunpla Batttle system here in my country... I really wonder if those machines can move bootleg kits though...
Day Log 2: EXAM VS NITRO
Monday, 10:00 A.M.
"Upgrade complete. Commencing initial test run."
Zeliel, while on a step-ladder, is up on the ceiling tinkering on the huge HD monitor screen. He's been installing additional peripherals at the Gunpla Battle Streamer for customers to have better scope of every ongoing Gunpla battle on his shop.
"Seems you've finished upgrading your Battle Streamer huh?" Accompanying Zeliel is the Delivery Man, who's assisting him in the adjustments of the two newly added HD monitor screens.
"Yeah." Zeliel finishes his work by wiping thoroughly clean the three monitor screens, "Could you turn on the monitor switch on that control pad?"
The three HD monitor screens then activated with a light-bluish flash and began streaming the insides of the Gunpla Battle Stadium, from the Stadium itself to the smallest details of each separate Stadium Booths. Each of the two recently installed monitors has the same dimensions as the first one, put end-to-end in an arc formation.
"Normally, you crammed the three ongoing Gunpla battles in one huge screen, so now you've decided to have one HD LCD screen to monitor each booth's Gunpla battles?" While fiddling at the control pad in his hands, the Delivery Man checks every video feed from the cameras inside the Gunpla Battle Room.
"Yeah, that's right." Zeliel further examines the three monitor's condition by inspecting their connecting wires, "No anomalies found. Now all we have to do is wait for those people who will use the Stadiums and some crowd who will watch them. That way we can determine if my upgrades were actually worth the effort."
"Finally, my very first Gunpla!"
A few minutes later a ten-year-old boy with a spiky and fiery red themed hairstyle shows up in the shop. He wears a plain white shirt, brown shorts and grayish rubber shoes that blends well with his young and healthy physique. His energetic personality matches the screeching voice that he used to greet Zeliel and the Delivery man.
"Hey, mister! Do you already have that reserved model kit I ordered from you?" The young boy then rush towards Zeliel's position, somewhere beside the step-ladder.
"Yeah. Just give me a minute..." Zeliel casually answered while climbing down the step-ladder. After he quickly pushes away the step-ladder to the wall side Zeliel hurried to the cashier counter and rummages through the hollow compartments of the counter table until his hands reached out to a black carton box.
"I really wonder what do you usually hide there in the counter table..." The Delivery Man sarcastically smirked while he himself tries to take a sneak peek on the counter.
"Here you go." Zeliel then hands over to the boy a HG kit from the counter's shelf, an HGBF 1/144 Build Burning Gundam. From the looks of the box it's still relatively brand new, with the box still shiny and no damage whatsoever.
"Yes!" The boy exclaimed heartily the moment he took it from the store-owner's grasp and have a look for himself. "Now I can build my own Gunpla from this!"
"Thank you for your continuous patronage~" Zeliel expresses his gratitude by bowing to the boy, "I've already inspected the contents for any defects, but you can return that to me if you find something wrong, alright?"
"Woohoo!Yahoo! Yahoo! Yes!" The boy just continued his victory dance ignoring the store-owner's reminder. "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Woohoo!" ...He's getting annoying by the minute.
"And I can see that you don't care either way..." Zeliel just sighed witnessing the boy's celebration after getting the kit he per-ordered.
"Now that's one happy customer..." The Delivery Man commented, giving a smirk at the boy who's been making a ruckus on the shop. "Guess my timing showing up here is just right."
Reminding him after what he said Zeliel asks, "Now that you mentioned it, I was wondering... I didn't ordered any stocks, so what are you doing here?"
"Actually I want to talk to you about getting some stocks of Try Burning Gundam, Star Winning Gundam, Gundam AGE-2 Normal, several custom parts, and a few minor upgrades to your Gunpla Battle Stadium." The Delivery Man hands over to Zeliel a clipboard with a list of stock items scheduled to be distributed within a month, from HG model kits to packages of custom upgrade parts.
"Hold on, did you said...Try Burning?" The energetic boy paused his celebration dance for a while after he heard the Delivery Man.
"Yeah...What about it?" The Bandai employee blinks in confusion from the boy's question.
"Di... Di... Did you just said, Getting stocks of Try Burning Gundam?" The boy stuttered in his words confirming his suspicion.
"Yeah. Why?"
"...I heard they're still on the planning stage of creating an HG kit of it... And I thought this one is their newest kit they released..." The boy's composure is getting a bit shaky as he learned of this new development.
"Well, what's wrong with it? You can buy another one later on." Zeliel added, "Bandai's been doing this tactic for years, you know. Just be thankful they didn't made most of the new releases as Premium Exclusive."
"...Buying again... Premium Exclusive..."
"Didn't you know? They repeated the same thing with the HG 1/144 00 Gundam. After the finale of the 2nd season they released the 00 Raiser+GN Sword III kit with the Trans-Am mode as a special release. Forget the Inspection colors, the blue 00 Seven Swords/G is much easier to find and weren't P-Bandai priced."
"... Now I can't decide. Wait for the Try Burning or get this Build Burning..." The once jovial kid is now getting more indecisive about buying his beloved model kit right now or later.
"That's the last of my Build Burning Gundam. It'll take probably a month or two before I get another stock." Zeliel intervened, "So, what's your decision?"
Unable to say anything, the boy fell silent and stood still in his position. Zeliel on the other hand observes the boy and begins a countdown on his mind, as if he was waiting for the boy's next action.
"Three..."
"Two..."
"One..."
"Daaammnnn YYooUUuuuu BAAaaaannDAAAAaaaIIIIii!" The kid bursts out of the shop at full running speed grabbing the Build Burning Gundam kit and leaving his payment at the cashier counter. Never bothering to look back the shop he left behind, the boy just ran aimlessly away and cursing the word 'Bandai' over and over again.
Looking at the boy while he's running away, "Oh look, another childhood memory ruined by Bandai..." Zeliel slips in a sly remark, "You guys really are an evil corporation."
"Don't give me that." The Delivery Man retorted, closing his eyes in irritation. "You say it like you're not benefiting from this."
"Admiral, Reporting in~!"
A familiar voice then stole the attention of the two while they're chit-chatting. With the high-pitched Yuk**ri T*m**ra voice and a cheerful greeting Zeliel easily figured out who's going to show up in front of him.
"A-Akina!?"
Barging into the shop with a huge bang, Akina breaks the glass door by ramming her hands into it with brute force. This girl had no love for the doors.
"Goddammit, the door! The door!"
"Urakaze, at your service~" Akina salutes to Zeliel like a true soldier of the seas, standing straight up and her right arm proudly in an angular formation with her right hand on eyebrow level. Her attire matches her behaviour; wearing a sleeveless white sailor uniform with a blue collar and a daring four and a half inch brown mini skirt. Her fluffy hairstyle is slightly different as well, now having two hair buns neatly tied into bundles at both sides just above her ears topped with a white sailor's hat for style. Ship girl sighted!
"What the hell is this again!?" Zeliel protested, having multiple comically large veins on his face. "Can't you at least enter my shop without breaking anything!?"
"Admiral, recently you seem to be tense and all... wanna take a break and have some fun with me~?" Akina winks at the storeowner as if she was implying her invitation to be a bit perverted. She was even doing a provocative pose where she narrowly exposes her bare breasts and slightly raising her already too short mini-skirt, which makes the two men seeing her nervously twitching and sweating. She sure is kinky for her age.
In a fidgeting reaction, "Y-You know... C-Cosplay is nice and all, but getting all too Gung-ho about it isn't really productive, you see." Zeliel mustered all of his sanity to calm his urges, "Y-You should know there are limits, especially doing it in public." while his cheeks obviously blushing in pink tone.
"Eheheh~ Getting excited from just that, aren't you?" The young cos-player playfully winks and sticks her tongue out at the flustered storeowner, enjoying the sight of his flustered reaction.
"You... just please, stop teasing me." Zeliel lowers his head sighing in frustration, still blushing. You know you want it too, right?
"Here we go again, another chapter of two lovebirds doting on each other..." The Delivery man loudly spoke out, trying not to be ignored by the two. "Please do note that 'I' am here, 'I' have mass and occupies space."
Akina and Zeliel paused for a while and looked at the Delivery Man, as if he said something obnoxious. The Delivery Man, noticing the glances of the two, returns their ostracizing gazes and asks-
"Wh-What?"
"Uhm, sir..." Akina politely called out to the Delivery Man. Her serious stare at the Delivery Man gives him an impression that whatever she's going to say would be something very important.
"Hm, wh-what is it?" The Delivery Man nervously asks, pondering if he can actually satiate the girl's curiosity.
"I know it's quite rude of me, but... What was your name again?" Akina innocently gives her question, putting her left index finger on her cheek.
It's as if he was hit by a ceremonial bell in the head, the Delivery Man felt stupid for getting scrupulous over such a simple question. He then relaxes and calmly replied to Akina.
"Oh, right. We often see each other here in this shop but I don't get the chance to introduce myself to you." He then turns his attention to Zeliel, who gives him a cue to introduce himself, "Zeliel, introduce me to this beautiful young lady here." the Delivery Man then gives him a glittering wink and a thumb up gesture.
"I didn't know your name either." Zeliel just returns the gaze with a deadpan face.
Having an exaggerated jaw drop expression, "...You seriously didn't know!?" the Delivery Man asked furiously, having an imaginary large sweat drop on his head as he was out of words to describe this revelation.
"I didn't bother asking, and you didn't bother telling to me." Zeliel coldly answered with a monotone voice, "And I'm not really interested either way."
"...Are you for real...?" the Delivery Man incredulously looked at Zeliel as if he was a complete stranger to him.
Mentally face palming after he heard Zeliel's reasoning, the Delivery Man felt betrayed by his expectations as well as having an urge to punch the store-owner square in the face. After a deep sigh he dons a haughty pose and then declared-
"Fine. Since I haven't introduced properly in this Fanfic, I'm going to use this opportunity to give my full name. From now on, you guys can call me-"
"Hey mister, do you have a Gunpla Battle Stadium here?"
"Huh?"
A voice of a young man stole the attention of the three, cutting off the Delivery Man's grand introduction. The boy had spiky comet-like black hair, red pupils and a somewhat training style attire; a hoodie red jacket over a black t-shirt, Black Jeans and pair of blue rubber shoes(Jordan 3 retro).
"I said, do you have a Gunpla Battle Stadium here?" The young man repeats himself, while the three remained silent in their position.
"Ah, yes we do. Please allow me escort you there, sir." Zeliel then left the two at the counter and tend to the customer who just entered the shop.
"...I felt being ignored for some reason..." The Delivery Man thought to himself, still stuck in his 'I am Awesome!' pose.
While entering his shop, "What happened to your shop's door, mister?" The boy pops in a question, "Seems like someone broke inside here. Were you've been robbed or something, mister?"
Reminded of the earlier mess Akina created, "Just call me Zeliel and no, never mind that." Zeliel diverted the conversation by asking him a random question, "By the way, I know this is Akihabara... but are you new here, mister-"
"Kamui. Kamui Sendo." The boy answered, "Me and my family just move here in Japan days ago, and I'm currently attending a school near here in Akihabara."
"Oh, I see." The storeowner nodded, "Well then, let's go to the Battle Room shall we?"
He then escorted Kamui to the Gunpla Battle Room where he activated and prepped up the Plavsky Particle generating machines into perfect running condition. After picking the Battle Stadium No. 3 (The one nearest to the Battle Room entrance/exit) Zeliel explains to him the details regarding the use of the Gunpla Battle machine, including the rules and regulations before he left the Battle Room. Kamui then goes to the red terminal of the Stadium and prepares his own GP Base and a red box on his hand.
10:15 am...
"Zeliel, huh? He doesn't really look like a foreigner, though."
"Please set your GP Base."
Immediately after setting in the electronic device to the machine a holographic console appears before Kamui, creating a pseudo-cockpit surrounding him. An indicator message then flashes in front of him written as follows;
"Single Player Mode. Please Select Game Mode."
One-Man Army
VS Ace pilot
VS Mobile Armor
Scene Recreation
Original Missions
"Hmm, guess I'll go with the One-Man Army Mode. I haven't played a Dynasty Warriors-style gameplay for a while, especially with a Gunpla." Kamui said to himself, while fiddling at the arm rakers at the holographic cockpit.
"Total number of opponents: 1000. Number of units generated per 7 minutes: 250. Field Map: Random."
"Field 2, Desert."
The scene on the playing field materializes into a sandy plane, with the artificial sun high in the sky in an almost empty terrain. The generated field resembles the scene where Kira Yamato fought and defeated Andrew Waltfield in Gundam SEED.
"Please set your Gunpla."
"I had 30 minutes to destroy 1000 machines, so I think this guy will do the trick."
Opening the black and red themed box Kamui picks up his custom Gunpla, a model kit that has been released recently in HG format. The Gunpla is well-built, with its body had no visible nubs or scratch marks and shines like a polished car.
The kit he holds is a modified HGBF 1/144 PPMS-18E Kampfer Amazing. While it still resembles the original Kampfer Amazing, it had a noticeably different color scheme, weapon configuration and an overall reduced MS frame/armor bulk. The Amazing Weapon Binder has been replaced by an entirely new set of handheld and built-in weaponry, and the paint scheme is patterned after the infamous color arrangement; the "Red Char" paint theme.
The Gunpla is armed with a custom-made handheld double-barreled beam rifle, similar in design and function compared to the one found on HGAW 1/144 Gundam X Divider on its right hand. The left hand carries a modified shield came from the HG Strike IWSP, with the beam boomerang omitted and an articulated shield body. The two protruding back binders are its high-powered beam cannons, both capable of rivaling Gundam Virtue's GN beam bazooka in terms of firepower. The kit also had three types of melee weaponry; A large anti-ship sword from the HG Destiny Gundam stored at the backpack between the beam cannons, A beam Tomahawk from the HG ZAKU Warrior stored in its rear waist, and a pair of beam sabers hidden on its forearms.
The color render vaguely resembles the 'Red Rival' pattern; the head unit, upper arm armors, hip armors, and foot armor plating are in bright red color shade. The upper chest armor, shoulder armors, forearms, crotch area, shield and lower leg armors are painted in deep or dark red tone. Lastly the exhaust vents, kneecaps, lower abdominal area, exposed joints, foot soles and the rest of its weapons are painted in gunmetal black scheme. With these color markings and reduced frame bulk it can easily mistaken to be a feminized version of the original MS-18E Kampfer, in a kinky red leather suit.
"Gunpla Battle, Combat Start!"
"Kamui Sendo, Kampfer Kai, launching!"
The red Kampfer dashes throughout the dusty battlefield with almost blinding speeds that it looked like a red blur on the Gunpla Battle Streamer screen.
After a few seconds dozens of MS-06D Zaku II Desert Types, OZMS-06 Leos and ZGMF-1017 GINNs reveal themselves from the bulging piles of sand surrounding the desert and began firing their handheld (solid projectile type) assault rifles at the red Gunpla.
"Leos, Zakus, GINNs... not really threatening..."
Like any other 'New-powerful-guy-showing-up-and-impresses-its-opponents-and-audiences-with-his-skills-beyond-their-imagination' scenario, the Kampfer Kai magically evaded all of the bullets thrown at it with little difficulty. Not even stopping, the Kampfer takes out one by one all of its opponents just by using its handheld beam rifle and Gatling gun, all the while shaming the efforts of the grunt suits trying to shoot him down by doing little and effortless evasion maneuvers.
"Well then, time to cripple down their numbers..."
Stopping for a moment, the Kampfer plants its feet firmly on the ground and adjusts its back-mounted cannons. And in a moment, the beam cannons released a concentrated blast of yellowish-white light of destruction at the attacking machines. After the deadly beams race through the formations of green MSes nearly a couple of grunt units survived the blast, with missing limbs and disabled weapons.
"I should've increased the number of times they would spawn..." Kamui spoke to himself, dissatisfied by how he easily dispatched the Plavsky Particle reproduced mobile suits.
Outside the Gunpla Battle Room...
Sitting on the cashier counter, "Eh, a Char custom Kampfer, huh..." Akina commented with her arms crossed, "Why do people believe that they have to paint their machines in red if its three times better than most machines? You really won't be three times as cool even if you use Char's machines, wears his red getup and underwear."
"Red is speed! Red is cool! Red is justice!" Shouted the Delivery man, clenching his fists up in the air.
"That is so old school joke, guys." Zeliel scolded the two while he occupies himself fixing the shattered glass door.
"Excuse me..." Another customer greets the shop. The guy seems to be in his 20s, had straight back-length dark blue hair, white complexion, a typical bishounen-style facial structure and deep Topaz eyes. His clothing getup composes of a complete formal white Italian suit, luxurious white formal shoes and carries a silver briefcase on his left hand.
"Hm? Hey, you're..."
Back to the Battle Room...
Kamui continued to decimate the combined forces of Zeon, OZ and Zaft grunt suits with just its projectile weaponry and clever maneuvers. And after a few minutes of show-off exhibitions...
10:46 am...
"Battle Ended!"
The game ended with the red Kampfer Kai standing alone in the desert, unscathed and proudly rests its beam rifle on its shoulders. All of the 1000 grunt units, on the other hand, are either heavily damaged or completely vaporized by its beam weapons. Soon after both the battlefield and the destroyed mobile suits dematerialized as the Gunpla Battle Stadium deactivates on its own, leaving the lone Kampfer at the center of the machine.
"I didn't get to use the Absorb system, huh? Well, at least I killed some time before I go home-"
"Uhm, excuse us for this, but there's a player who wishes to challenge you..." Zeliel interrupts the boy's monologue as he begins to pack up his Gunpla into his tool box.
The store-owner then notions the challenger to get inside the Battle room, allowing him to meet his opponent.
"Hello, mind if I challenge you in a one-on-one duel?" The white attired gentleman asks, slipping a small friendly smile at Kamui.
"I don't mind." Kamui replied, smirking at the fact that this man may satisfy his earlier disappointment from battling the grunt mobile suits.
Zeliel then restarted the Gunpla Battle Stadium and explains the details of match-style Gunpla battle to the two participants. After the two agreed to the rules and regulations Zeliel exited out of the Stadium to begin the match.
"Player 2, please set your GP base."
"I've already paid for the exhibition game you've done earlier and for this match." The gallant gentleman informed Kamui whilst setting his GP base onto the machine. "So for now let's enjoy this friendly match."
"Why thank you. Let's have a good and exciting match together." Kamui complied, readying his Gunpla into the battle machine.
"Player 2, please set your Gunpla."
The new guy then reaches out to his Gunpla from his silver briefcase. He then places it to the blue terminal catapult just above the GP base terminal.
Back in the cashier counter, Zeliel and Akina were talking about the newcomer's Gunpla and its characteristics.
"An HGUC Delta Kai kit, huh?"
"More like a Delta and Zeta parts kit-bash, if you ask me."
The said Gunpla is a slightly modified HGUC 1/144 MSN-001X Delta Gundam Kai. Its overall appearance and construction is flawless and beautiful, as its gleaming white and blue paint job reflects the modeler's skills are clearly top notch. Its overall appearance are a combination of most MSZ-006 and MSN-001 models; the head unit, shoulder to upper arms, leg units and main body parts is the Delta Kai, the forearms belonged to the Zeta Gundam, the waist unit is from the Hyaku Shiki(With the exception of the side and back skirt armors are from the Delta Gundam Kai), and its backpack came from the ReZEL Type-C (defenser b-unit)kit.
Its weapons include the original Delta Kai's handheld beam rifle, with some elements from the beam smart gun of the S Gundam. The shield also came from the Delta Kai kit as well, with all the optional weapons(Burst Bolt, Mega Machine cannons, High Mega Cannon) arranged perfectly on it for multiple usage. The proto Fin Funnels are now located at the shoulder armors, placed horizontally facing opposite directions. It also had the large beam cannons taken from the ReZEL b-defenser type on its back and the missile/grenade launchers carried over from the Zeta and ReZEL a-defenser type. Lastly its close range weaponry are its two beam sabers, located at the back waist of the Gunpla.
The paint job slightly remains the same as its base Gunpla; the overall MS armor is colored in pure white tint, with the exception of the blue accents on its upper chest armor, shoulder armor, sole of the feet and sides of the shield, light yellow on the V-fins, exhaust vents on its chest and thruster areas, and charcoal black coat for the central chest piece, exposed joints and equipped weapons(save for the proto fin funnels which is colored white and blue color).
After he sets his Gunpla into the blue catapult, an indicator then flashes into the new player's console, prompting him to take certain action.
"This unit can transform into Alternate Mode by adding a few extra parts. Would you like to use this function?"
"Certainly." He said excitingly, pulling out several pieces of Gunpla parts from his briefcase. The new player then toss in several extra parts such as an extra body unit, several connector polycaps and a few modified plastic adaptors.
"Field 3, Forest."
The field then materializes into the greenery scenario of the southeastern island battleground, a setting from MSG0080: The 8th MS team. The rainy weather setting could prove to be an asset or an obstacle for both players, as it made the terrain slightly treacherous both on air and land.
"Gunpla battle, combat start!"
"Satoshi Kanda, Delta Kai Ni, Soaring through the skies!"
"Kamui Sendo, Kampfer Kai, launching!"
The two machines then rushes toward the center of the battlefield, with the Delta Kai Ni flying above the thick flora and fauna while Kamui races through mazes of thick vegetation.
"Well then, let's start with this!"
Without warning the Delta Kai Ni fires his High Mega Cannon at the red Kampfer, drawing a large line of damaged terrain on the forest below him. However as expected the swift red mobile suit boosts left side to evade the beam and retaliated by firing its own pair of high-powered beam cannons. But just like what the Kampfer did it evaded the counterattack by dashing at the right flank.
"That beam cannon on his shield is as powerful as mine... I can use the Absorb Shield if he fires again, but I guess it's better to close in the distance to
disable it..." Kamui thought to himself as he continues to fire his beam cannons.
While evading the powerful beam shots the Delta then aims its custom beam rifle and releases a series of powerful blasts at the ground surrounding the Kampfer, creating a combination of smog and dust clouds that engulfs the red mobile suit, temporarily blinding it.
"Khh! I need to get out of here!" Kamui abruptly halted his attacks and hastily dashes toward the clear path of burned ground the beam shot had created.
When he finally gets out of the blinding distraction...
"Huh!?"
"Take this!"
Satoshi's Delta Kai Ni was already in front of him, with a unique blade-type weapon deployed on its shield. The Delta Kai Ni then thrusts in the Burst Bolt weapon towards the Kampfer's chest armor, but was blocked in time by the handheld Shield Gatling gun. Using this chance the Kampfer aims its twin-barreled beam rifle at the white Delta's neck area, but when he was about to pull the trigger the white mobile suit smashes its own beam rifle against it muzzle-to-muzzle cancelling his attack. Both units then pull the triggers of their beam rifles at the same time, creating a ball of energy between the muzzles of the beam rifles. The resulting ball of energy grows exponentially in a few seconds, and swallows the two beam rifles in a bright yellow explosion the size of a small-scale mobile suit explosion. Fortunately for the two machines, they broke away from the deadlock before the yellow energy burst engulfs them.
"Damn, I lost my Smart Beam gun..." Satoshi commented on his mind, "But, he won't be using his left arm for a while."
Unbeknownst to Kamui, the bladed weapon released a combination of small explosive impact and electrical surge that channels through the shield and to its left arm. Though in reality there is no real damage to a Gunpla with this kind of attack, it is a known fact that on certain electrical current flow rates and voltages they can disrupt Plavsky Particle's overall integration to the plastic's surface, weakening the plastics's reaction to Plavsky particle manipulation from the controls.
"Hm? What happened to my arm...?" As Kamui assesses the damage done by the surprise attack, he notices that he had difficulty controlling the Kampfer Kai's left arm.
"Let's see if you can handle this!" The Delta deploys the large beam cannons from its back and starts to rain down beam shots at the red Kampfer with deadly accuracy.
Kamui attempts to raise the Kampfer's shield to block the incoming attacks, however... "Shit, my left arm's malfunctioning!?" the Kampfer Kai's left arm just stayed dangling and unresponsive to his commands. "B-But how!? Wait..."
He then remembers the bladed weapon that the Delta Kai Ni used as it attempted to stab the red Kampfer's chest armor. At that time he realizes that the Delta kai's Burst Bolt weapon had abilities similar to the MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom's grappling wire.
"Damn it, I've been careless..." Kamui cursed to himself, "For now I have to get away from him...!" He then boosts away from the white mobile suit hovering in the air whilst evading his unrelenting barrage of large beam shots.
"Outrunning me? Not if I can help it!"
The body of the Delta then glows in a faint white blue light and disappears, only to be replaced by a body unit of different design. The arms then re-attaches below the new body and its shield is now in front of the mobile suit. The hips then flips up retracting the legs closer to the waist and its feet swings downward forming the back thrusters. Several poly-caps and plastic connectors materializes and began attaching themselves on the wings and body of the mobile suit, reconfiguring the Delta Kai Ni to its wave-rider form.
"It had longer time lag transformation than the RG Zeta, but I can tell that thing is no pushover...!" Kamui said to himself as he futilely tries to flee from the flying white TMS(Transforming Mobile Suit).
At the Cashier Counter...
"A custom-made Parts-former Gunpla, huh..."
"Parts-former...?" Akina gazed at Zeliel after he gave that comment.
"Some HGUC 1/144 transformable mobile suits uses an alternate body mold to access their wave-rider or MA mode. In model-crafting it's not that popular among modelers and builders due to the nuisance of changing them to their alternate modes. Even for Gunpla fighters they are rarely used; the whole transformation process in mid-battle takes about twice as long as any of their MG 1/100 UC TMS counterparts or the 1/144 RG Zeta Gundam, so some builders simplify or completely omits their transformation systems."
"Oh, I see..."
"But there is one advantage on using this kind of system..." Zeliel thought, "Several customized HGUC 1/144 TMS Gunplas that retains their parts-forming transformations have more durability, stability and had overall performances better than most tournament-standard variable machines..."
Back at the Battle Stadium 3...
As the Delta further closes in at the Kampfer from behind, the white TMS begins to charge its High Mega Cannon. But before it could fire away the red Kampfer forcefully discards its shield on its left hand and throws it at the Delta, hitting its front nose and altering the trajectory of the deadly beam blast. The beam barely grazes the Kampfer's left foot, and the Delta almost loses its balance forcing it to reduce its speed. With this the red Kampfer safely escapes from the Delta's firing range leaving behind its shield.
"So he can still escape from me in that situation, huh? Interesting!" Getting back on its stable flight, the Delta Kai then ascends further into the black clouds and transforms back to its MS mode. It then fires another round of its High Mega Cannon directly in front of the Kampfer, blocking its escape route.
"Khh! Don't tell me...!" Kamui then looked up at the Delta directly above him, and aims his beam cannons at the white mobile suit. "I won't let you do everything as you please!" He then unleashes two large beam blasts at his opponent, intending to destroy him with one powerful shot.
Evading the beam shots by diving below, the Delta deploys most of its grenades from its forearms and missiles from its back at the ground surrounding the Kampfer, creating another blinding cloud of dust and smoke engulfing the red mobile suit.
"This again!? I'm not going to fall in the same trick twice!" Rather than dashing towards the crater line Kamui commanded the Kampfer's movement to backtrack to its previous route and boosts away from the dust clouds. The Kampfer Kai then deploys its Anti-ship sword to anticipate any surprise close-range attacks, however...
"This will finish you off!" The Delta shows up from the smoke behind him, with its beam cannons deployed and charged to maximum output. When the Delta unleashes its powerful Gerobi attack, the Kampfer's pilot selected from his controls a hidden special ability.
"Fine then! I'm going to reveal the true strength of the famed Crimson Lotus before your very eyes!" Kamui shouted, activating a special system on his Gunpla. The Kampfer Kai's single monoeye camera then lits up into deep red hue, and in an instant he evaded the beam shot meant to its head and abdomen. He then charges towards the white mobile suit evading its beam attacks and attempts to slice the machine in half with its Anti-ship sword, only to hit thin air as the Delta flies away in time before the Kampfer's weapon reaches its target.
"This speed and power... EXAM system!?" Satoshi exclaimed, while flying away and fending off the swift Kampfer Kai with its Mega Machine Cannons on its shield.
The red Kampfer's movements became erratic, unpredictable and unable to be locked on Satoshi's cross-hair making it difficult for the Delta's machine cannons to land a hit. He even deployed his beam cannons in hopes of higher chances hitting his speedy adversary but to no avail. Confused and slowly losing his concentration Satoshi didn't notice that the Kampfer is already rushing in front of his Delta, going in for another sword stab similar to Shinn Asuka's move using the Destiny Gundam's Anti-ship sword . Seeing this he deploys his Burst Bolt weapon again to counter the attack, but in a sudden last second maneuver...
"I've told you before, I'm not going to fall in the same trick twice!" The Kampfer unexpectedly threw its Anti-ship sword at full force with his right hand aiming at the Delta's shield, piercing through it and dismembering its left forearm. The shield explodes, destroyed along with the forearm holding it and the Kampfer's Anti-ship sword.
"Khhk!"
"Now the two of us can no longer use our left arms!" Kamui declared in excitement, "But, I still have the upper hand!"
Continuing to rush head-on the Kampfer tackles the Delta downwards and pins it on the ground. Reaching to its beam tomahawk equipped to its waist the red Kampfer raises its tomahawk up in the air and tries to chop the Delta's head clean off the mobile suit, but was intercepted by the Delta as it grabs the arm holding the beam tomahawk with its intact right arm. In a desperate attack the Delta fires its Vulcans at the Kampfer's head unit, causing the red mobile suit to lean back a little and evade the bullets. Despite this however with the EXAM system active the Delta's efforts were proven to be futile, as the Kampfer's right arm overpowered Delta's own but the white mobile suit managed to redirect the beam tomahawk to hit just above its head unit.
"Tch, I really don't want to use this system on a non-tournament battle, but..." Satoshi then selects the 'SP1' option on the weapon slot and activates his mobile suit's own power-up system, making its armor seams and joints glow in whitish blue color. "You're not the only one who had that kind of system! NITRO system, Activate!" Satoshi screamed, while his Delta is struggling to grapple with his opponent's Kampfer.
"Wha-What the!?"
In that instant the Delta Kai Ni produced blue flames on its exposed inner frame and slowly pushes back the Kampfer Kai. When he had enough leverage the pinned white mobile suit kicks away the red one and immediately stands on its two feet.
"Khhh..." Kamui slowly guides the Kampfer's rise from the ground, still with its beam tomahawk active on its hand.
With the two mobile suits now on equal footing, a rather silent standoff happens between them. With the rain downpouring on their armors and their power-up systems active both mobile suits give off a rather eerie aura on their MS frames, the Kampfer in dark red outline while the Delta in whitish blue flame glow. It's as if they were waiting for a certain rock to crumble, the two miniature war machines then charges at full speed toward each other.
"Eat this!" The Kampfer then charges again its high-powered beam cannons and aims directly at the white Delta ahead of him.
"Awaken, Fin Funnels!" Satoshi yelled his order, with the two long pieces of plastic parts detaches from the white mobile suit's shoulder armor and began flying and orbiting around the Delta Kai Ni. He then commanded the two large funnels to surround and fires at the Kampfer Kai with precise accuracy.
"Funnels!? Tch!" Kamui misses his target as he steers clear from the beam shots. He tries to shoot down the funnels but despite their large size they're too nimble for Kamui to even land a hit. Out of options he runs away from both the large funnels and the Delta itself.
"He's still fast even with all that damage, huh?" The Delta then deploys one of its beam cannons and starts shooting at the Kampfer Kai whilst giving chase to the red mobile suit.
Fast and agile thanks to its BB-hs01 Booster Kai, the Kampfer Kai zigzags away from any fatal shots from both the funnels and the Delta's beam cannon. However little by little the funnels desecrate the red mobile suit's body by shooting away its right beam cannon, the whole left arm, right shoulder armor and left leg thruster.
"If this keeps up, I'll..." Even with the EXAM system active, the Kampfer Kai is at a great disadvantage due to the advanced weaponry and abilities of the Delta Kai Ni forcing him to dodge and flee from his opponent. He was thinking of giving up the match until he saw the discarded Shield Gatling gun just a little further in front of him.
"Hm? that's..." From there, Kamui devises a simple last resort tactic against his opponent.
In a quick reflex action the Kampfer throws the handheld beam tomahawk at the Delta, in which the funnels respond by shooting down the thrown weapon. Using this distraction the Kampfer then picks up the discarded weapon and equips it on its right hand. Re-adjusting its funnels the white Delta aims at the red Kampfer's back torso to finally defeat his opponent. But before the beams pierce through it the Kampfer raises its shield and absorbs all the thrown beam shots at it.
"A-Absorb Shield!? Tch!" He ordered the funnels to flank the red mobile suit on both sides, but just like what happened earlier the shield just absorbs all the beam shots intended to destroy the Kampfer. In that instant the Kampfer converts 30% of the absorbed energy into thruster energy, giving it a high boost of acceleration to get behind the large funnels and shoots them with the shield Gatling gun.
"Alright, let's finish this!" Kamui declared, with the Kampfer's red lit mono-eye sensor redirects its focus on the white Gundam before it.
Converting the remaining collected beams into thruster energy the red Kampfer zooms head-on at the white mobile suit. Seeing this the Delta disengages his beam cannon and draws out its beam saber from its back waist, ready to intercept his rush attack. The Kampfer then empties the Gatling gun's ammo as it continues to rain down bullets at its oppponent, however the white mobile suit spins its wrist rapidly to block the incoming solid projectiles copying the F-91, Turn A and/or G-Self's 'beam saber shield' move. When the two mobile suits are in grappling range of each other the Kampfer positions its shield to ram it against the Delta. The white mobile suit counters the move by doing a thrust attack on the shield with its beam saber, in which Satoshi skillfully pinpointed the shield's weak spot and punches through intending to create a hole on the Kampfer's shield and chest cavity.
On the distance it seems that the white mobile suit had won the battle with its close-range beam weapon piercing its body, but when one look closely the Delta misses its intended target. The Delta's bluish white beam weapon did destroy the shield, but only grazes the Kampfer's lower left abdominal area. On the other hand a yellow beam blade protrudes from the red Kampfer's right arm that pierces through the Delta's white and blue chest.
The Gundam's beam saber destroys the shield, but in return the Kampfer's hidden beam saber on its wrist pierces through the chest armor of the Delta Kai Ni. In a split second move Kamui successfully changes the trajectory of the Delta's beam saber millimeters away from the Kampfer's chest armor by swinging its right arm away from its chest armor. At that same time frame the Kampfer Kai activated its beam saber hidden on its wrists, aiming and shooting out a yellow beam that goes through the Delta's black central chest plating.
The Kampfer's EXAM system finally deactivates as well as the Delta's NITRO system, although the Delta shuts down all of its functions and fells on the ground in a crunching metallic sound.
In perfect timing the Plavsky particle generated rain had finally stopped along with the dark clouds clear out, replacing it with an artificial sun shining all over the broken forest below it. The lone red mobile suit stands proudly over its fallen opponent, seemingly looking at it not out of pity but that of respect.
"Battle Ended!"
On the Gunpla Battle Streamer, a message displayed colorfully on the screen in bold letters.
"Gunpla Battle Ended. Winner, Kamui Sendo and Kampfer Kai!"
11:25 a.m...
After the two exited out of the Gunpla Battle Room, Satoshi and Kamui shake hands to show their respect towards each other.
"That was a great battle. Thank you for taking my offer." Satoshi said, smiling in full grace.
"Pleasure was all mine, Mr. Kanda." Kamui replied, "Let's play again sometime."
"Sure." Satoshi then gestures a goodbye wave to everyone before he left the shop, "Well then, I'm off to my workplace. And, It's nice seeing you again, Zeliel."
"You take care out there, Satoshi." Zeliel waved back at him, as the white-attired gentleman closes the shop's door behind.
"I didn't expected you were actually friends with a famous male artist and a world-class Gunpla fighter..." Akina sneaks in a comment, "You never told me."
"You didn't asked." He answered, "We had a rough start. He trash talked me at first, and then me and him bashed each other in the World Tournament, and after that we kinda reconciled and gained a little respect to each others guts."
"Ooohhh, I smell Yaoi romance..." Akina grinned, "So how long have you two been dating?" she sarcastically added.
"Ha! Haa! haah! Hah! Hah! Hah!" Zeliel suddenly burst into laughter surprising everyone in the shop. And then after that he ends it with a stoic, "...No." glaring at the girl beside her.
"I'll be going then..." Kamui excuses himself to the two, standing just beside the glass box display.
"Huh? Oh yeah, okay. Take care." Zeliel nonchalantly gave a nod to the boy, signaling him to exit himself out of the shop.
"That is one awesome fight. I really should be hanging out here more often, Zeliel." The Delivery man interjected, giving a freaky wink and thumbs up at the store owner.
Just like earlier, Zeliel paused for a while and looked at the Delivery Man, as if he said something odd, again. And after a moment of deep silence, he asks, "So... Who are you again?"
Feeling fooled and left speechless, the Delivery Man stood still on his position. And after a deep sigh he cleared his throat and readies himself for another dramatic speech.
"OoooKay... Let's do this again from the start. I am one of Bandai's greatest employees stationed here in Akihabara, and would become its number one delivery man this year! I have bested all the hardships this company had thrown at me, so I can proudly say 'I'm a survivor, dammit!', And my name will go down in history as Bandai's greatest delivery man! Heed, for the name of that employee is-"
-The next day-
8:30 A.M.
Somewhere in a certain dormitory...
"Hnnnnnggnnnhhh...Huuunnnhh..."
A black-haired brown-eyed male youth is sound asleep on his working desk with a nipper at his hand. His physical features were genuinely a male Japanese boy; common Japanese facial structure, fair skin complexion and slim but physically fit body structure. He wears a simple black T-shirt with brown shorts and white indoor-use sandals. From the looks of it he's been working non-stop on a self-assigned project that what it seems to be a series of backpack add-ons for HG 1/144 Gundam kits.
"Taijin." A soft and sweet voice calls out to him. It was a girl around his age, standing beside him. Her appearance is rather a good definition of a young female westerner; silky cream shoulder-length hair, sapphire blue eyes, a doll-like face and a white complexion. Her clothing composes of a red shirt, jean shorts and a pink and white themed sneakers.
"Taijin, wake up."
"...Hhhnnnh...Zzzzzz..."
"Taijin." The girl continued to rock and throttle the boy to wake him up from his slumber.
"...Hhhhnnnhhh..." Ignoring her the boy just simply shrugged her away with a snore.
"Taijin."
"...Hmmm..."
"Taijin."
"Hhnnggnnnkk..."
The girl persisted shaking his shoulders for a while, until she decided to slightly raise her voice tone and spoke his name on his ear.
"Taijin!"
"Hmm?" The boy slightly opens his eyes, blinking and wondering who was calling out to him.
Seeing his reaction the girl brings her face in front of his and said, "Hey."
"Huh? Whoah!" With her beautiful face the first thing he saw after waking up, the boy panicked and fell from his seat. After regaining his composure he then looked at the girl and asked, "K-Kosetsu!? Wh-What are you doing in my room!?"
"You told me yesterday we're going to Akihabara today." The girl replied with a stern look, "You said we're going to buy some parts for your new boosters, as well as new parts for my Sapphire Exia."
"Eh? O-Oh, right. I did said that." He groggily remarked, "Damn, I overslept again..."
"So, you're ready?" The blonde girl asks with a deadpan face.
"Huh!? Uhm, give me five minutes." The boy responded, "Wait for me outside, alright?"
"Okay." The girl then nodded and silently leaves his room, and goes somewhere at the dorm corridors.
"Well then..." Taijin said to himself, "I wonder if he had already stocked up some new upgrade part kits today..."
End Day log 2 Part 1
Aaand done for now.
So yeah, some of you would find the battle scene quite uninteresting and poorly executed. I have no excuse for that, since I kinda had a mental block when I was writing that part.
And, here's some tidbits:
Kamui Sendo and his Gunpla Kampfer Kai is an original character created by KentLinuxStadfelt. Thank you for lending your OC to me, hopefully you liked how I wrote your character and Gunpla in this chapter.
The two characters on the last scene are the two main protagonists of GBF: Ash and Snow, written by Sou 'Ryuga' Norken. Thank you too for lending your characters to me, dude. And, his story is a good read, just ask the regulars here who give reviews on his work. :D
Also, There's another story I would recommend; GBF: Life's Gunpla Battle Championship MKII, written by Blitzzurger96. It's a good read too, just look at the reviews people gave on that story. :)
Hopefully I did justice on writing these characters on my story.
