This is my first story. Please don't go hard on me with my addiction to angst and stuff.
It was a lovely day. Familes happily walked around the streets and sidewalks, checking out gunpla. And yes, Gunpla Battles are still the trend. And two stood out from the others. Two familiar people. There was Fumina Hoshino, fixing what was now her Try Winning Gundam. And there was Yuuma Kousaka, also fixing what was now his Try Lightning Gundam. Both had almost forgotten the day they had realized that Sekai had left. The club/team wasn't shut down, luckily. Both friends were older, and more mature.
"No, Fumina. You have to stick the part on the torso-"
"IT IS ON THE TORSO!"
Maybe not, more mature. Gyanko and Shia had grown a small liking to each other, and became acquaintances. Mr. Ral was in their usual practice place from 5 years ago, and yeah, that's how everyone was doing. Yuuma takes a look at his phone. "FUMINA! IT'S TIME FOR THE TOURNAMENT!" Hoshino shoots up from the cafe chair, and runs in the tournament direction. Kousaka follows.
"Hello! I'm Mirai Kamiki! Championship representative and may be again...the substitute to the Team Try Fighters." The truth was, Mirai didn't know where he was either. It's terrifying, yes. When your last family member you have leaves and never comes back. The people sit and wait, as if waiting for someone. "..Okay, I guess I'll have to be the substitute, again.." The crowd goes quiet.
Suddenly the door opens. A familiar red haired and red eyed boy walked into the Championship. He looks around him, hands in his hoodie's pockets. "Hm?" Mirai couldn't believe it. Tears formed in her eyes. Hoshiro and Yuuma turn around and have the same reaction, except Yuuma doesn't have the tears. "Hey, is this the championship? I'm here right now because I'm like a year or so late for the cha-"
"5 YEARS IDIOT!" Yuuma yells throughout the room.
"5 years?" Sekai looks at them, then at himself.
Sekai let's this go and just walks to the battle, taking out his Gunpla. It was very different, but the name stayed the same. "Heh, I just know we're going to win." he recklessly states.
The three boys across from them stare and start to yell gibberish at him. "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS COCKINESS?! YOU CAN'T MAKE FUN OF US, WE'RE THE ONE-EYED DOLPHINS!" Sekai just ignores them, placing his GP base.
"Fumina Hoshino, Try Winning Gundam!" "Yuuma Kousaka, Try Lightning Gundam!" "Sekai Kamiki, Kamiki Burning Gundam!" All three of them were sent out the Electric tunnels. "So how is this going to work? I see you guys have changed your gunpla." Sekai states. Hoshino gladly replies, as if the 5 years didn't even pass. "Mine is still a support/fighting unit! Except the fact that I tweaked it so the support parts can help more." Yuuma is just angered at Sekai so he doesn't respond.
"Well, you'll see what mine can do!" Sekai exclaims, taking out his katana from the last time he had battled in the championship. The blue glowing parts of the Kamiki Burning Gundam turn red, and the particles float around the glowing parts of his Gundam. Sekai obviously spotted the enemy behind some space debris. "JIGEN HAOH SCHOOL! SEIKEN-ZUKI!" The space debris shatter into pieces, also obliterating one of the One-Eyed Dolphins.
Hoshino gasps in awe. Yuuma just stares in disbelief. Sekai's punches were never able to do that much damage without Hoshino's Winning Fist. Sekai just smirks in the connection. Yuuma and Hoshino couldn't help but ask questions when Hoshino was shot right through, as she was in the open. "FUMINA!" Yuuma yelled in the connection. The other One-Eyed Dolphin cackled as Hoshino's Gunpla exploded, and all that was left was the destroyed pieces of the Try Winning Gundam.
Hoshino shakes in regret of standing in the open. She couldn't believe her gunpla got destroyed because of her carelessness...
Yuuma was hiding behind a destroyed building, part of his gunpla sticking out to see the destruction. He quickly takes out his gunpla and tries to snipe the One-Eyed Dolphin. Another came out of nowhere...and jumped in front. The leader of the One-Eyed Dolphins gasps and widens his eyes in disbelief. The regular one of the team smiles in their connection. "You can do it...Keniken. There's a reason we joined this championship, is there not?" Keniken built up all of his last strength into one last attack, to let out a huge beam that can hit everyone around him, apparently motivated by a flashback.
Sekai smiled. "Wrong move." He whispered.
Yuuma couldn't see them winning. It was one vs two, yet the team with one person had a special move.
Sekai flew to Yuuma, still in his burning form, ready to take full damage. "Get ready, Kamiki Burning!" he exclaimed, anger pushed into his stance. Yuuma was curious to what he was planning, but had most thought that they wouldn't be able to take this attack.
Keniken's gunpla transforms a bit to let out a couple of canons. "THIS IS FOR MY MOTHER!" he yells through coms as big, beautiful beams spread at Sekai and Yuuma, also getting below, above, and to the sides, which means there was no escape for them. A red water droplet with fire burning the water spreads, and Sekai opens his eyes, them being filled with anger and excitement. "JIGEN HAOH SCHOOL! HANSHA-SHIRUDO!(reflecting shield)" Particles spread from the glowing red parts of the Kamiki Burning Gundam.
The particles create a shield right when the blast hits. Sekai smiles as scratches and major hits to his body get noticeable. He starts to huff and puff, standing in his spot. "SEKAI! YOU CAN'T TAKE THE BLAST!" Yuuma yells through coms.
But Sekai stands there, enjoying the excitement. 15 seconds later, the beam ends, leaving a major damaged gundam, and a completely not damaged gundam. "I can still...move." The red-haired one smiles into coms, pushing through the injuries, as he always did. The two Try Fighters were now in the open in space. Keniken's eyes widen as he gasps and stutters, a sweat drop moving down the side of his face.
"H-How?" He asked. Sekai doesn't respond for a moment. Apparently if he speaks, it'll hurt. "I worked on this for a while during my training trip. I didn't even keep track of how much time I spent working throughout the night." Sekai explains, ready for another move, maybe close-range for him to have the advantage. Yuuma stood there, speechless. He didn't even keep track of time of how much he's been gone! Keniken smirks slightly, it turning into a cackle. "I WAS TOLD YOU WOULD COME HERE, THE SO-CALLED HERO! I HAVE A REASON TO WIN, AND I WILL WIN!" He yells through coms.
"Hero?" Everyone throughout the stadium asked, including the Team Try Fighters. Sekai took a moment, then smiled. "Has it been that long that I'm actually needed?" he asked softly, so the others couldn't hear.
"HERO OR NOT YOU'RE GOING DOWN FOR WHAT YOU DID TO FUMINA!" Yuuma yells out, taking out his sniper and tries to hit Keniken's gundam multiple times. Sekai watches as Keniken just maneuvers away from it. He tches. "And you told me I'm stupid." Yuuma stops and punches Sekai's gundam expectantly. "YOU LEFT FOR 5 YEARS! AND DIDN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY! NOW WHO'S STUPID, SEKAI?" The red-haired boy stays silent, head down, having a punch mark on his cheek. The crowd in the arena is also silent.
Keniken laughs and speaks. "If I can object, this is hilarious!" Sekai's face angers. "STAY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS, YOU F**KING A**HOLE!" Yuuma is silent, seeing that he has never seen Sekai so angry. Hoshino gasps from the sudden cursing. Gyanko and Shia who were there to see the match stay silent, sweat going down their faces, because when he swore, it sounded even more so, dare I say it, hot.
"Jigen Haoh School..." Sekai holds out a fist with his gundam. "..SHUYONA KEN(Major fist)!" He blasts himself toward Keniken, who was frozen in fear.
The blazing fired-up gundam connects with Sekai and sees his anger, thus causing a stronger move. A punch covered in fire surrounds his fist as Sekai and the gundam punch the shield of Keniken's gundam, immediately destroying it and obliterating Keniken's gunpla.
A screen pops up saying "Battle ended."
Keniken stands there in disbelief. Sekai is looking down, about to faint, but keeps his stance. "Keniken, is it?" He speaks, trying not to wince from the injury to his chest. Sekai looks up at Keniken, eyes cold for some reason. He holds out a hand to shake Keniken's. Keniken looks at it, and shakes it respectfully. "You're an even bigger deal now, Sekai Kamiki. I'll tell you something, but first, to the bathroom." Sekai nods, curious. He tries best not to limp. "Sekai! We have to get you to the infirmary! You can't just go!" He just looks back at Mirai and states, "I'll be back at home, sis." The boys in arena start to exclaim. "SIS? HE'S SO LUCKY!"
Sekai follows Keniken to the bathroom, where he sits on the marble made sink. "So. I heard there's some people out to destroy the championship." Sekai stares, not understanding. Gunpla is just a sport, who would want to destroy a championship of it? "Apparently they want the gundam figures, and have this special technology that can cause Gunpla to grow bigger in size to actually destroy the cities. "WHAT?!" Sekai couldn't think of any other word to react with. Suddenly, he found something cool to answer with. "How do I know you aren't PART of that amount of people?" Keniken answered quickly in truth. "BECAUSE THEY KILLED MY MOTHER!" Sekai stopped in his tracks.
A flashback appears in mind, where his mom and dad were killed as well by people who held two gundam figures that were owned by his parents. Before the flashback could go even further, he shook his head.
"You said something about a hero." Sekai said. "Yes. I heard..after they killed my mother, that your gunpla, the Kamiki Burning Gundam, is strong enough to destroy the strongest of that group of people...Be careful. Don't get it stolen." Sekai nods. He had gotten better at taking care of his gunpla, not burying it in his candy or some sort, but hiding it somewhere no one would ever find it except him.
They both walk back to the championship, where everyone was talking. Sekai drops to his knees, but picks himself back up, struggling. Mirai runs to her brother, holding him in her arms. Boys in the arena stopped talking and got jealous, including Yuuma. Sekai was fainted.
3 hours later, Team Try Fighters plus Mirai and Mr. Ral were in the Infirmary. "Where has he been?" Hoshino asked Mirai. "..He wasn't at home. No note or anything." The others just look at the resting Sekai as his shoulders go up and down peacefully. Hoshino suddenly remembers something her mom said. "He looks promising in five years. Is he your boyfriend?" Hoshino takes a look and starts blushing as she realized that her mother was right.
Yuuma starts to speak. "You have to ask him yourself." Mirai nods.
Mirai was left alone with Sekai in the room. He was still sleeping, apparently tired. Mirai couldn't help but wake him. "Sekai, wake up. It's Mirai." Sekai's eyes flutter open, disappointed that he didn't get more sleep. Mirai felt regretful at this. "Yes sis?" He asked, starting to sit up but fails, so he stays laying down. Mirai couldn't resist the urge. What if it was a bad reason? What if something happened that no one was supposed to know? What if...it was a secret? Mirai couldn't imagine Sekai keeping a secret. He was always too honest. But that could have changed.
"Why did you leave? And did anything happen besides just changing your gundam? I'm so curious, and worried!" She takes Sekai's hands into hers, tears building up in her eyes.
Sekai was left speechless. He had never expected Mirai to be asking her about this out of everyone. She never was the type to ask things that are sensitive. "I..." He started to say. "I left on a training trip with master." Mirai's eyes turned from sadness to anger as she let out true facts. "YOU LEFT ON A TRIP AGAIN?! MASTER NEVER MADE TRIPS SO LONG! EVEN IF HE DID, WHY DID YOU GO? WHAT HAPPENED TO 'I wanna play more Gunpla Battles!'?!"
Tears from her eyes streamed out as she blinked. Sekai was in disbelief. He worked on his gunpla...for a whole year. The first 4? Well, I'm not spoiling.
"I'm sorry. The truth is...I can't tell you the truth." His eyes were hidden as he sat up, despite the not fully healed injuries. Mirai watched sadly, as he couldn't answer. "I just want to know.." She said truthfully. "My heart was broken for 5 years...is the truth that hard to explain?" Sekai looks at Mirai, shocking her with what she saw.
