A/N: I don't own Naruto or Gundam
Gunpla Battle Championship
Finally comes the third round of regional qualifiers. Try Fighters are prepared to fight their next opponents.
"This is the third round of regional qualifiers. Team Try Fighters from Seiho Academy vs team Angelfish from Chusui Middle School" announced the announcer.
"This battle will depend whole on what the battlefield will be" comment Ral with crossed hands.
"We are loved by water. The battlefield will love us too" proclaimed the leader of Angelfish
The system put the battlefield in tundra. Because of that the battle turned out really short. All team Angelfish's Gunpla were underwater type so Try Fighters completely destroy them, due to the frozen land team Angelfish couldn't dive to the water below. And so Seiho get to the quarterfinals.
Waiting place
Try Fighters are very dissatisfied with their win. It was so easy, it can't even be called a victory.
"Well, a win is a win. Congratulations everyone on getting to the quarterfinals. Good job" congratulated Ral.
"I am not satisfied though" complained Sekai in bore at the former battle
"I know" replied Hoshino with the same expression.
The announcer announces the second match of the third round on the screen.
"Let's go to watch this battle. The winner of this battle will be our opponent in quarterfinals" advised Ral
Scene change
Team Babylonia from Cosmo Academy's Aristocracy Department vs team FAITH of Joto Municipal Middle school. At the start of the battle, team FAITH has lost the two members. Only Destiny Gundam was left.
"Strange, that Destiny is a straight assembly" muttered Naruto
"What do you mean by that, Naruto-senpai?" asked Sekai
"He means that Gunpla is a not being customized or paint. It was assembled according to the manual" replied Hoshino.
"Gunpla's performance is depends on how well it built. With those units, and they still managed to reach this far" comment Ral
Destiny opened fire with its rifle and destroyed one Crossbone. The others open fire, but Destiny managed to dodge by moving like a boxer. He used the smoke cause by the Crossbone to hide himself. The pilot of Crossbones wondering of Destiny's location suddenly received an uppercut to the gut. Sekai was surprised by that move.
Destiny kicked the yellow Crossbone away for it to crash at the other Crossbone. Then he took out the sword and charged at them to cut the down.
"Two down with one strike? The pilot of that Destiny, he is extremely good" comment Naruto with a smile.
And so that Joto Middle School reaches the quarterfinals. The crowd is cheering loudly for them.
"He is strong. Instead of relying on Gunpla's performance. He won purely by his control skills" comment Ral.
Sekai punched his knuckle and replied. "How interesting. I like to fight guys like that!". Naruto turned to Sekai with a smirk.
Waiting place
Ral accidental heard the conversation between the two members of team FAITH, when he walked out of the toilet.
"Are you really gonna do that, Gorou?" asked the small boy.
"We must do it. Our next opponent is on the whole other level. We must do it for Shimon-san's sake" said Gorou. With that they approach Try Fighters that are not far from them.
"Excuse me?" Try Fighters turned to him and wonder what he wants. "Are you members of team Try Fighters?"
"You guys are from Joto Middle School right?" asked Hoshino
"Oh, you're our next opponent!" exclaimed Sekai.
Suddenly, they harden their expression and made an expression like they are gonna assault Try Fighters. Sekai misunderstood and stood to a stance to prepare to fight them back. He and the other two blinked in surprise when they saw both of them kneeling with their head bowed down to the ground.
"We're begging you. In the next quarterfinals, please, let us, Joto Middle School to win"
Hoshino and Sekai widens their eyes in surprise, while Naruto narrowed his eyes in suspicion and crossed his hands.
"We...no Shimon-san has a reason he must win!" said Gorou still bowing his head down. Then they told Try Fighters the reason why they must win.
In the hospital
One small brown haired boy is sleeping soundly. There were lots of Gunpla's on the window stand. Suddenly, he heard the door creek open, so he opened his eyes. He smiled upon seeing who has come to visit him.
"Nii-san!" exclaimed the boy
"Yo!" Shimon greeted his brother. Then he began to tell his brother about his progress in championship.
"So you won in the third round too?" asked Mamoru.
"Of course. Who do you think I am?" replied Shimon. The picture was showed where a younger Shimon is holding a cup. He was hugged by Mamoru and smiled happily.
"You are the middle-school boxing champ and the strongest Gunpla fighter" said Mamoru. "And you're my brother"
"That's right" said Shimon and performed a right hook in demonstration.
"But it's like a dream. Even if you're the one controlling it. I can't believe that my Gunpla is winning the championship matches" exclaimed Mamoru.
"It's too early to be satisfied. I will bring you the champion's trophy. So you build me a new Gunpla for national tournament, ok?" said Shimon with a smile.
"Ok"
"Work on your rehabilitation for now" said Shimon.
"Right" Mamoru nodded his head.
It's time for Shimon to leave, he is waving at Mamoru through the window and Mamoru did the same.
'Just you wait Mamoru. I will win for sure'
With Try Fighters
After they heard the reason of to win of Joto's team. The resolve of Try Fighters began to shake. More precisely, Hoshino and Sekai's resolve start hesitating. Naruto has already planned what he want to do.
"What will you decide huh, Sekai-kun, Fumina-chan? After hearing such a request, what did you you decide?" asked Naruto while looking at the horizon in front of him.
"We also have a reason to fight. But...but our reason is not as noble as theirs. I-I don't know what to do anymore" answered Hoshino confused with herself.
"What about you, senpai? What did you decide to yourself?" asked Sekai and turning to Naruto curiously. Hoshino also turned he gaze to Naruto. She was also curios about Naruto's answer
Naruto moved forward while the wind blowing his spiky head dramatically. "Me? I am a Gunpla fighter. To me, if I am ever confused about anything. The Gunpla will give me an answer. Through Gunpla battle, I could decide for myself whether to continue to fight or not". With that said, Naruto turned to leave both of them with their thought.
Sekai and Hoshino looked at Naruto's leaving figure with different thoughts. Mirai decided to appear at that time. She felt the air is very silent and tense around them and wondered what happen. Ral decided to answer her question.
"They are hesitating right now. They are hesitating whether continue to fight or not"
"Is that so? But Naruto-kun didn't hear irate at all right?" said Mirai with a soft smile.
Ral turned to her and asked curiously. "Why do you think so?"
"Naruto-kun is a real Gunpla freak. Even I could see that. He decides that the Gunpla will answer all his questions if he is hesitating. Only a Gunpla freak will do something like that. Also Naruto-kun is not a person to back off from anything no matter the reason" explained Mirai.
"You really know Naruto-kun well. Even though you guys become a couple not long ago" said Ral.
"Yeah. I could feel it in my heart. Naruto-kun's thoughts, emotions and his heart . I really feel myself like his other half" replied Mirai with a soft smile. Ral looked back at her with a smile too.
"Naruto-kun will surely think of something crazy. I could feel that" said Mirai with a soft laugh and touch her heart.
Next day
In the hospital
Shimon decided to visit his brother once again. But when he reached his brother's room, he heard a voice coming from the room.
"Woah! Amazing. How did you build this Gunpla?" Mamoru voice was heard from the other side of the door.
"Well, it's not really hard. All you need is-" said the other voice. Shimon decided to enter the room.
"Mamoru, who is your new friend?" asked Shimon. But he was surprised to see Naruto there.
"Nii-san! Look at this Gunpla. It's really well built" said Mamoru and showed his brother Gundam Astaroth.
"That Gunpla..." said Shimon. This Gunpla is really familiar to him. He did seen it somewhere.
"It's mine" replied Naruto and turned to face Shimon.
"You're my opponent in the next quarterfinals" exclaimed Shimon.
"Yes. I am Naruto Uzumaki of Try Fighters" Naruto introduced himself. Mamoru was surprised that his brother's opponent is here.
"Why are you here?" asked Shimon.
Naruto looked at Shimon long enough and decided to answer. "Your other two teammates have told me about your situation, Shimon-san. I understand your reason. It's a very noble reason indeed. But as a fighter I can't give you the win like that. That will not only dishonored you, but also made your victory a lie. So I've come here with a proposition"
"We don't need your pity!" exclaimed Shimon in anger.
"Pity? No you've mistaken here, Shimon-san. I don't pity you. I came here because I want a good fight. No offend to Mamoru-kun, but with the assembled Gunpla, you can't fight us equally. I came here to help you to unleash all 100% of your abilities, Shimon-san. I saw your fight and you fighting ability is really good. I just want to give you a higher rate to win. That's all" said Naruto with a serious look
"How will you help me to fight at 100%? And why you decide to help us? Aren't we your next opponent?" asked Shimon suspiciously.
Naruto chuckled and replied. "My kohai always wants to fight a good battle. I am just creating a suitable opponent for him. And how will I help you? It's easy". Naruto then turned to Mamoru. " Mamoru-kun, will you trust me enough to tune up your Gunpla? I know you don't have any reason to trust me. But I am still asking you permission to tune up your Gunpla"
Mamoru looks at Naruto's eyes and feels that he didn't lying. He didn't see any lies in those blue eyes. "Ok, Naruto-san. I give you permission to tune up my Gunpla"
"Mamoru!" exclaimed Shimon in surprise. Mamoru turned to his brother and said. "It's ok nii-san. I could see it in his eyes. Naruto-san really want to help to improve my Gunpla"
Mamoru gave Naruto Destiny and said. "Even though you're my brother's opponent I will also root for you Naruto-san. Because you are a good person. Whether my brother win or lose, it won't matter. I just want to learn to create such amazing Gunpla like yours. Well, of course it will be better if my brother win"
"Arigato, for trusting a foreign person like me with your Gunpla. I may teach you some tricks to improve your building skills. But you must get better first, ne?" said Naruto with a smile and ruffed Mamoru's hair. Which cause Mamoru to grin.
Naruto turned to Shimon and said. "Don't worry, Shimon-san. I am not a person that will use dirty tricks to win a battle. Just try to give Sekai the best battle he ever has. That's my only request"
"But what if my team win? Won't you regret the decision to improve my Gunpla?" asked Shimon curiously
Naruto turned to Shimon and smirked. "I will just need to believe in Sekai-kun. Let's test whether your resolve or Sekai-kun's resolve is stronger ne?"
Behind the door, Sekai and Hoshino were surprised at Naruto's decision.
"Naruto-senpai, you..." muttered Hoshino
"It's just like my nee-chan said Naruto-senpai really did something crazy. But with this I can have the most awesome battle ever. Furthermore, Naruto-senpai will improve that Gunpla. I can't wait for tomorrow to fight him, Izuna Shimon" exclaimed Sekai with fire burning in his eyes in anticipation
"Why? Aren't you worried at all? You know that all Naruto-senpai's Gunplas are masterpiece, right? What if we lost?" asked Hoshino turning to Sekai.
"That's because the Gunpla that I will fight is Naruto-senpai's that just make me want to win even more. I've never manage even scratch any of senpai's Gunpla. This will be an unforgettable battle" exclaimed Sekai excitedly. Hoshino has a thought of her own about that.
Scene change
Hoshino and Sekai meet up with Naruto at the ramen stand. Naruto is slurping his favorite ramen with a very satisfied look.
"Why did you go to Shimon-san's brother place, Naruto-senpai?" asked Hoshino the still eating Naruto.
"I told you already, right? I've decided that Gunpla will solve my problem. That's why I offered to tune up that Destinty. Plus Sekai-kun always complains about not having good fights. This will be his greatest opportunity" replied Naruto casually. Then he turned to Hoshino and asked. "If you know that I was there then you two must be behind the door. Why are you two there?"
Hoshino looked down to the ground and answered quietly. "I wanted to test my resolve"
"I am there got that same reason, senpai" answered Sekai. "At first I want to go there to declare a war to Izuna Shimon. But I spot Naruto-senpai there before me. I completely agree with senpai's decision. Only a completely heartless person won't do anything after hearing such request. That's why senpai's decision to make the opponent goes all out against us in a battle is the best option. That way they won't regret anything, because they did their best. My shishio always said 'don't bring lies to a battle'. If we're just let them win like that then their victory will be a false one. They won't be satisfied at such victory and neither I am"
Hoshino looked at Sekai with a look of wonder, while Naruto smirked satisfyingly at Sekai's speech.
Scene change
Shimon just finished talking and punishing his two teammates. He said that they won't need pity. They will win with their own strength. The two of them argued that they will only be a burden to him. He shouted at them for being idiots and embraced them tightly.
Later that night, Shimon reviewed a parcel with an upgrade Destiny in it. He looked at the Gunpla in awe at how perfect it was built. The colour scheme is still the same. But the rifle was replaced by another Arondight beam sword. There is a piece of paper that has the name of the new Destiny on it.
"Gundam Destiny "The second flight". Thank you so much, Naruto-san. But I am also sorry beforehand. With such a superb Gunpla, your team won't be able to win tomorrow's match" said Shimon with a satisfying smirk.
Next day
Gunpla Battle Championship
"We now begin the quarterfinals of the West Tokyo qualifiers. Match one is team Try Fighters from Seiho Academy, vs team FAITH from Joto Municipal Middle School" said the announcer.
Naruto and Sekai were smirking in anticipation, while Hoshino has a conflict look. Mirai looks at Naruto's face and said while smiling.
"Ara, ara! Naruto-kun is gonna pull some stunt". Ral turned his head at her questionably. Mirai just waved her hand in dismiss and said. "Don't mind that. It's just a couple things"
"Time to settle out battle, Izuna Shimon!" declared Sekai.
"So you are that Sekai, Naruto-san told me about? What an interesting guy. Ok, I accept your challenge" replied Shimon with a smirk.
"Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal. Field 12, Island. Please set your Gunpla" the system requesting them. All the fighters set their Gunpla to their respective GP Base.
Sekai looked at the upgrade Destiny and muttered. "So that's a Gunpla that was improved by Naruto-senpai. I wonder how much stronger Izuna Shimon is with it"
"An upgrade Destiny..." muttered Hoshino looking at the new Destiny.
"Woah! So that's Shimon-san new Gunpla. It looked so perfect" exclaimed Gorou in awe.
"Yes. It's name is Destiny "The second flight". And we will win with it." declared Shimon confidently. "Izuna Shimon, Gundam Destiny "The second flight". Let's box". With that he launched Destiny to the battlefield.
With Try Fighters
Build Burning and Winning was launched to the battlefield, but there is no Wing Exia. Naruto decided to not launch Wing Exia, boy just standby to watch the fight.
"Naruto-senpai! What are you doing? Why didn't you launch Wing Exia?" asked Hoshino.
"Wing Exia told me to watch this fight on the sideline" replied Naruto.
"Huh?! It's not time for your stupid joke, senpai! We're at the quarterfinals" shouted Hoshino annoyed at Naruto's stunt. Naruto ignored her and focused on Build Burning instead.
"I knew he would do something like that!" exclaimed Mirai and rubbing her forehead.
"T-that Naruto-kun is crazy beyond belief. We are at the quarterfinals and he pulled this stunt". Ral also rubbing his head.
With Build Burning
Sekai didn't surprise at Naruto's stunt. In fact he knew that Naruto will do it. "Arigato, senpai. Now I can fight Izuna Shimon one on one!"
With FAITH
"Naruto-san wants for me to have a duel with Kamiki Sekai. I am counting on you two. Gorou, Kouji" said Shimon.
"Hai, Shimon-san!"
Destiny opened fire with a palm beam cannons at Build Burning and Winning. Murasame and Windam is trying to separate Winning from Build Burning by opened fire at it to lure it farther away from Build Burning.
"We also have a reason to fight!" exclaimed Hoshino and opened fire with her rifle at Murasame and took off its arm.
"I am not done!" shouted Gorou and slammed at Winning and began to accelerate. Behind them Windam also slammed Winning and tried to push it forward. Winning took a rifle and shot rapidly at Windam. It lost its head and two arms, but it still pushed Winning forward.
Hoshino finally realized what they planned but it was too late. Both of enemies Gunpla and her Winning were out of the battlefield.
"In the end, I still hesitate" muttered Hoshino and felt disappoint with herself.
Destiny vs Build Burning
"So, senpai was out eh?" muttered Sekai. He then looked up and saw an upgrade Destiny ahead of him. "So that's a Gunpla improved by Naruto-senpai. How interesting. Here I come, Izuna Shimon!"
"Come, Kamiki Sekai!" replied Shimon.
Build Burning rushed up with impressive speed. But Destiny still managed to keep up with it and kicked him down back to the ground.
"That speed... There is no mistake here. This is definitely Naruto-senpai's Gunpla" muttered Sekai impressed at Destiny's speed. "But I am far from being done. Jigen Haoh ryu: Shippu-Zuki!"
Build Burning's eyes glowed blue and it charged forward with a powerful fist. Destiny's eyes glowed green and his fist was covered in a pink glow. It intercepts Shippu-Zuki with that glowing fist. The impact is so strong that the earthen debris raise up around them.
Sekai was really surprised when his technique was neutralized. "How did you neutralize my Shippu-Zuki? That other Gunplas were all send back flying already"
Shimon smirked and replied. "That's because my Gunpla has a system called Voiture Lumiere Combat system. Naruto-san created this system to enhance my boxing techniques"
"Suge! But that's not all. Jigen Haoh ryu-". Build Burning float up and began to spin rapidly creating a tornado in mid air. "Senpuu Tatsumaki-Geri". He then delivers a drop kick at Destiny.
Destiny activates the VLCS to jump up and intercept the kick with his own. Build Burning predicted that move and slammed the other leg at Destiny to send it back.
Destiny was unharmed even after such powerful kick.
"It's a pay back now, Sekai!" exclaimed Shimon and charged at Build Burning with impressive speed. The Wings of Light was activated and he began to move around Build Burning with blurred speed. Suddenly something incredible happened, there were lots of Destiny surround Build Burning, as it continue to move around Build Burning.
"What the heck is this? Why are there so many him appear?" wondered Sekai.
"That's..." exclaimed Ral in shock and surprise. He then glanced at Naruto, who was still observing the battle silently.
At the stand
"A Mirage Colloid System? Naruto-senpai is capable of recreating that?" muttered Yuuma at shock.
"That's the ability of Gunpla prodigy. Uzumaki...Naruto" muttered Minato in jealousy
"And he put that system into an opponent Gunpla. What a crazy person you are, Naruto Uzumaki" said Sudou with amused smirk
Destiny vs Build Burning
"How do you like that, huh, Sekai? This is one of my trump cards" said Shimon with glee.
"Interesting. Really interesting. I don't expect anything less by a Gunpla improved by Naruto-senpai!" answered Sekai with a smirk. "But I haven't used all my techniques either! Jigen Haoh ryuu: Senkou Majutsu-Geri". Sekai delivered a powerful kick to split the ground bellow him and cause the debris to fly at different direction.
Shimon was forced to flying up to avoid the debris. He took out the two boomerangs on Destiny's shoulder and threw them at Sekai. But Sekai managed to kick them away easily.
"Is that all you got? You are using Naruto-senpai's Gunpla, you know" taunted Sekai.
"That's only the beginning! I still haven't showed you anything yet!" exclaimed Shimon and charged forward with Voiture Lumiere knuckle.
"Jigen Haoh ryu-Seiken-Zuki" shouted Sekai and punched forward.
Destiny stood in a boxing stance and managed to neutralize Seiken-Zuki and at the same deliver a Voiture Lumiere punch at Build Burning head. The impact was strong enough to send Sekai flew back.
"Cross-counter?" wondered Ral in surprise
"Sekai-kun!" exclaimed Hoshino worriedly.
Naruto still observe the battle silently with cross hands.
Build Burning stood up slowly. "Do you know why Naruto-senpai didn't participate in this battle? Because Naruto-senpai wants to test the resolve of us both. He wants to see whose determination to win is stronger. I can't fail senpai. That's why I will win this fight!"
"I will win for not only Mamoru, but for myself as well!" exclaimed Shimon and took out both Arondight swords and charged at Sekai.
"Jigen Haoh ryu-Ryusei Rasen-ken" exclaimed Sekai and his wrist began to spin rapidly. He punched forward with such force that it breaks both Arondight sword in half.
"How?" wondered Shimon in surprise. But he quickly recovers and jumps back.
Shimon then concentrate all the particles for his last technique. "This is my last technique, Sekai. I am gonna put everything I have in this punch. Prepare yourself!"
"Come, Izuna Shimon! Let's finish this fight in one move" shouted Sekai in excitement.
"At first I thought this is just a child game, but now I understand why Mamoru and so many other were caught up in this. This is fun. So fun that I don't want this battle to end" said Shimon with a satisfying smirk
"Yeah, me too. I don't want this battle to end either. But all things will eventually come to an end" said Sekai.
"Here I go, Sekai!"
"Come, Shimon!"
With that both Gunplas charged at each other with blurred speed that causes a trail to appear behind them.
"Final Destiny Punch!" shouted Shimon and his whole left arm was covered in Voiture Lumiere.
"Jigen Haoh ryuu- Seiken-Shippu-Zuki!" shouted Sekai as he combined both techniques into one.
A clash between both powerful techniques creates a blinding light, which cause everyone to cover their eyes. When the light died down, Destiny and and Build Burning was seen standing back to back with each other.
"Who has won? Sekai-kun or..." wondered Hoshino worriedly an anxiously.
Ral and Mirai are also looking at the battlefield silently. Naruto still didn't say anything.
At the stand
"What an incredible battle! This battle is as impressive as the finals" exclaimed Meijin.
"Yeah, it's been a while since I saw such am intense and interesting battle" Lady agreed with Meijin. "Though how crazy is that boy to just stand aside at the quarterfinals?"
Meijin laughed out loud and said "I think he did that because he is a total Gunpla freak!"
Naruto finally smirked, which gained the attention of Hoshino, Ral and Mirai.
Battlefield
Both of the Gunpla still standing back to back to each other. Suddenly, Destiny kneeled down and a hole appeared in the centre of its chest.
"The last move was incredible. Congratulations, you won, Sekai" Shimon congratulate his worthy opponent.
Build Burning raised its arm up in victory. The crowd began to cheer loudly at Sekai's victory. With that Try Fighters have reached the finals.
Scene change
Mamoru was looking at his Gunpla. Suddenly heard a door opened up. It was his brother.
"Nii-san! How was the match?"
"We lost, I am sorry. But I didn't regret anything. I did my best after all" said Shimon.
"Even with Naruto-san's Gunpla? Wow, your opponent must be really strong!" exclaimed Mamoru in wonder
"Yeah. He is really strong" relief Shimon. Then he took out "The second flight" from his pocket and give it to Mamoru. "This is an improved Destiny. Its name is Destiny "The second flight". What do you think? Really, impressive huh?"
Mamoru observed the Gunpla on awe and said. "Wow, I can't believe that this was my Destiny not long ago. I will get better and will learn to build Gunpla's from Naruto-san. Then I could create such amazing Gunpla like this Destiny"
"Yeah, then we will win the championship for sure" said Shimon.
"By the way, why didn't Naruto-san visit me, nii-san? I want to ask him a couple questions about Gunpla building" wondered Mamoru.
"Sorry, he was busy and couldn't visit you. But he told me to give you this" said Shimon and pull out a note. Mamoru opened and began to read. His eyes opened widely when he saw it was Naruto's note on how you could improved the building skills
"Arigato, gozaimasu, Naruto-san" muttered Shimon in gratefulness.
With Try Fighters
Naruto is being glare daggers for the stunt he pulled by both Ral and Hoshino.
"To help our opponent aside. But you even decide not to participate in the battle! What if Sekai-kun loses? Man, you are really crazy, Naruto-senpai!" exclaimed Hoshino tiredly. She was really tired of Naruto's unpredictable stunts.
"That wouldn't happen. Because Sekai has won. And I expect from the very beginning" retort Naruto.
"But I am grateful for Naruto-senpai. Such a fight, I am sure no one will forget anytime soon. It's the first time I am this satisfied from Gunpla Battle" said Sekai with a wide grin.
Hoshino looks at the boys and mutters to herself. "You are both so cool. That I am nothing compare to you two?"
"Huh? What did you say, senpai?" asked Sekai blinking.
"Nothing at all!" exclaimed Hoshino hurriedly.
Mirai turned to look at Naruto with a loving gaze and thought to herself 'That's why I love you so much, Naruto-kun'. Then she jump down and glomp Naruto surprising him greatly.
At Miyazato Institute, Akira was told to demonstrate his abilities by defeating Yasu a regular member of G-Master. Akira wants to become a member of G-Master to fight at the finals. After he defeated him, both Yomi and Shunsuke were on awe at his abilities. Yomi asked where did he gain such abilities. Akira answered that his former school was Gunpla Academy. And of course, after hearing that name, both Yomi and Shunsuke's eyes widen in shock and surprise, because that is the name is the last year champion team"
A/N: What do you think of the fight? Not much to spoil next chapter. So I will just reveal that Yomi managed to piss off Naruto with her attitude. And when that happens, Naruto become really scary. So scary, that Sekai, Hoshino and G-Masters could feel what kind of monster, Naruto really is.
