Chp 4: American finals, Tachyon's true power.

(In Finland)

Victor was training with his Wing Gundam Lucifer against Mila's Rouge Freedom. Victor was wearing a weird set of shades, with a red visor and black frame that coved his cheeks and forehead.

" Come on Mila, you've got to try harder." Victor said, looking at the Rouge's damage. Mila's gunpla was damaged like not before. Its v-fin was chipped at one side, the right shoulder was missing, and the torso had a dent in the cannon.

" I'm not done yet." Mila said as the Rouge Freedom launched the DRAGOONS, then executed its Full Burst mode. The Wing Lucifer dodged the beam with ease, both Gundams drawing their beam sabers. The two began to clash, over and over again while Nine was watching on the side.

'His Embody numbers are responding well, but for some reason, they drop, but only for a second. Just what are you thinking Victor? I don't want to have to force you like I did Aila, but if it comes down to that, then I will.'

The Wing Lucifer then kicked the Rouge Freedom out of the stage, winning the battle.

"Well Mila, you've gotten better. Come on, let's take a break." Victor said.

"Wait! Victor, I want to go again." Mila said recovering her Freedom.

"Are you sure?" Victor asked, only to see Mila setting up her Rouge Freedom again. "Heh, alright, let's go again."

(In Thailand)

A gray haired boy with yellow eyes began heading to the airport, to catch his flight home to Japan, to the World Tournament. He assembled a team to help him. The Renato brothers, Mario and Julio, who fought against Meijin Kawaguchi in the 7th World Championship Tournament, and the Izuno twins, Geno and Maya, who made it to the best 8 of the 9th World Championship Tournament. Both were girls with silver hair and green eyes. Geno's hair was a ponytail, while Maya's hair was twin pigtails. Geno uses a custom Infinite Justice called Blitz Justice, while Maya uses a custom G-Bouncer called G-Exterminator.

" Soon uncle. Soon, the whole world will fall to your philosophy. The road of victory and nothing less. That is the goal I am born with, me and this Exia." The boy said as he gripped his black and red Exia in his hand.

(In Japan)

Reiji was practicing with his custom Build Impulse Arian. The Impulse was colored red with silver strips on the legs and arms, green eyes, it shoulders and arms more smooth, streamline than normal. There were glowing red pieces on the chest, legs, arms, and its beam rifle, which was of the same design as the Star Build Strike's. Its backpack is a red Build Booster, but also carries a custom anti-ship sword, which can extend for some purpose. Just like the Build Strike, its beam sabers were mounted on the hips, but the shield was different. The shield on the left arm was similar to the Aegis's shield, expect it carries a single, large boomerang, but is still uses the Absorb and Discharge systems.

"Come on Sei, Raiden, let's battle." Reiji said with excitement in his voice.

"Alright, Raiden, you ready for this?" Sei asked as he readied the Build Strike Cosmos.

"Yeah. Let's do this." Raiden said as he readied the Blaze Blitz G.

(In America)

Neo was in his family's battle room, testing equipment options for the Quanta Tachyon. He was fighting a group of computer-generated Innovators suits, specifically the Gadessa series. Currently it was equipped with a GN Bazooka, two GN Sword II's, and a GN pistol.

The Tachyon was dodging loads of beam fire, either it be the Gadessa's Mega Launcher, the Garrazo's beam vulcans, or the Reborns Gundam's Fin Fangs.

' Just what is it that I'm missing? I know that the Tachyon is missing is something. Besides, I want to keep it a CQC suit, but still have long-range firepower.' Neo began to have flashbacks.

( " RG Build Knuckle!" Yelled Sei and Reiji as they unleashed thie ultimate attack, the very same that won the 7th championship tournament. The destruction of the Exia Dark Matter, the massive particle storm, the large A Baou qu fortress appearing, Neo had been there to see it all.)

("Shine bright red, Exia! TRANS-AM!" Yelled Meijin Kawaguchi as he activated the trump card of his Amazing Exia, the Trans-Am system against Julian Mackenzie and his F91 Imagine.)

' The Trans-Am system. The trump card of all GN-mobile suits. The RG system, The unique system made by Sei Iori for the Star Build Strike. I want to use Trans-Am, but also something special and unique like the RG system… That's it!' Neo had an idea.

(Tuesday, 1:45 pm. American qualifiers.)

Greco and his team, Team ROZ( Refined OZ) were waiting for their opponents.

Meanwhile, Team Blazing Star was waiting on a certain someone.

" Anna, where is Neo? The match starts in two minutes. Speaking of the devil, Neo came into the waiting room just in time, only to be grabbed by his angry, terrifying, example of a sister.

" Where were you Neo? The match is about to begin, and you were almost out of time!"

" No kidding, but trust me, you'll thank me later. Let's go." The two teams them met in the large center arena, with spectators and Gunpla fan all around.

Beginning Plavasky Particle dispersal. Field 3, Moon.

" Hmm, This will be interesting." Said Greco as he readied his Tallgeese Valkyrie MKII. The other four using two Virgo II's and two Serpents's.

Vent was using his new Gundam, the Reborns Eclipse. Anna decided to use the Death Banshee for the tournament, Yui was using an upgraded Legilis X, and Mike was using a new custom Stargazer.

Neo however, was using the new, complete 00 Quanta Tachyon. It was just like before, but the right drive now had the GN Buster Sword II, the GN Katars on the lower legs, and the beam sabers on the back skirt. On the back was a backpack that resembles the Infinite Justice's Fatum-01 pack.

Battle Start.

" This is why I was late, so that I could show the world that we can win. Neo Subaru, Quanta Tachyon, ready to go!" Neo said as the Tachyon launched, which was soon joined by its team mates.

"Vent Galeson, Reborns Eclipse, Launching!" The Reborns launched, switching into its MA mode.

" Anna Subaru, Death Banshee, Heading to victory!"

" Yui Hoshino, Legilis X, Heading out!"

" Mike Zanies, Stargazer Notus, Time to bright up the stars!"

The five suits launched, advancing on the new OZ mobile suits. The Serpents opened fire with their missiles and Gatling guns, scoring hits on the Stargazer, however, with the Stargazer's new Variable Phase-Shift armor, they did virtually nothing. The Stargazer then fired its beam rifle and beam vulcans and destroyed the two Serpents.

"Planet Defensors!" yell the two Virgo pilots as they stood back to back with their remote disc formed a beam barrier that couldn't be broken, or at least they thought so. They then started to fire their beam cannons at the Reborns. "Keep firing, he can't hit us through this barrier."

"I'll take care of this." Vent said as he switched to MS mode. The Reborns grabbed the staff that was on its back skirt, which then extended and emitted a large, pink beam-blade forming a scythe. "Now, let's see how you fight without your barrier!" Vent screamed as the Reborns Eclipse slammed it GN Scythe against the Planet Defensors, which should have block it, but it passed right though and destroyed one of the Virgo's.

"What? How? We had an anti-beam shield." The one remaining Virgo II pilot exclaimed.

"Simple. The particles used in this scythe were tuned to counter anti-beam armor, that includes beam barriers as well. Yui, you're up." Vent said as the Legilis X released it bits and swarmed the Virgo.

"I'm not done yet!" the Virgo II then used its beam cannon to destroy the bits, each one leaving a particle trail when it exploded. " Huh? What is this?" The Virgo II was then surrounded by multiple Legilis Gundams. "What? How? I'm not finished." The Virgo II grabbed the nearest Legilis, only to pass through and the mirage disappears. The real Legilis then used its beam rifle and destroyed the Virgo II.

" Now all that's left is Greco." Yui said.

"We've got him. Let's go Anna!" Neo said as the Tachyon released its sword bits and boosted off to the Tallgeese Valkryie MKII.

"Right." The Death Banshee activated its NT-D, set the Armor DE on it back, and followed the Tachyon.

"I'm gonna smash you two." Greco said as the Tallgeese fired a barrage of beams from its mega beam cannon. The Death Banshee was dodging, while the Tachyon was using its GN field to block.

"Two can play at that game." Neo said as the Tachyon began firing its GN Mega Launcher. The beams grazed the Tallgeese, scratching it shield slightly.

"Tch, fine." The Tallgeese's beam cannon then extended. "Full Burst!" The Large yellow beam fired, aimed at the Tachyon. The Death Banshee came into its path and used its I-field to block it.

" Neo, now!" Anna said as The Banshee moved, revealing the Tachyon charging it GN Mega Launcher's Burst mode.

" Right. Trans-Am!" The bright red aura covered the Tachyon as it charged. "FIRE!" The GN Mega Launcher fired its large pink beam at the Tallgeese. Luckily, it dodged, at the cost of its own beam cannon and left leg.

" I'm not going down that easy." The Tallgeese draw one of its beam sabers and rushed the Tachyon, only to be blocked by the Tachyon's GN Buster sword II in its left hand.

"This is Tachyon's new power!" As Neo said that, the sword bits attached to the GN sword V now in its right hand. The Tachyon then knocks the Tallgeese Valkryie back and slashes it with its GN Sword V. The Tallgeese's left arm was sliced off. The Tachyon then sliced off the chest with the GN Buster Sword II. The Tallgeese exploded, and the sword bits returned to its shield.

Battle Ended.

"The winner of the American qualifiers for the World Tournament is Team Blazing Star!" The announcer said. The crowd cheer very loudly, Yui raised her fist in the air, Vent high-fived Mike, Anna got Vent and Neo in a head-lock, all five of them laughing.

(Tuesday, 8:30pm, Blazing Star's meeting room.)

The team was celebrating with soda and snacks. Vent had chosen a scary movie to watch, Tenshi and Mike got the snacks, and Anna and Yui were choosing the music. The song they chose was Rebellion from BlazBlue Calamity Trigger.

"Hey, has anyone seen Neo?" Mike asked.

"He's on the roof. He said he was just going to get some air." Vent said. 'Knowing him, he's probably asleep like the last time.'

"I'll go check on him." Yui said as she headed upstairs. She didn't notice, but Anna has a smirk on her face.

On the roof, Neo was staring into the sky, Quanta Tachyon in his hand.

'I'm actually in the tournament, and I've built this gunpla. I never thought of myself as a tournament person. I always lose in the school contest before I started improving. That's when I started using the Shadow Justice. Now look at me.'

"Hey Neo, what are you doing?" Yui asked sitting next to Neo.

"Huh? Yui? I'm just enjoying the night sky." Neo said.

"Really? Anna told me you once fell asleep on a roof. Is that true?"

"Yeah. It was during a game of hide-n-seek when I was 9 and Anna was 8."

The two stayed in silence for a few minutes, until Yui decided to break the ice.

"So Neo, what was the very first gunpla you ever built?"

"Hmmm, well, I remember my first was the SD 00-Raiser. It was a fun build, but I only built it for display. What about you?" Neo asked in return.

"Me? Mine was the Zeydra. I was always a fan of red mobile suits. I wanted the Legilis X to be red, but I decided against it." Yui answered.

"Why's that? I don't see a reason not to." Neo said.

"Well, I'm not good a detailing anything that's red. I always mess something up."

"I can help you if you want." Neo offered.

"I would like that. Thank you Neo. By the way, where did you get your necklace from?" Yui asked pointing to Neo's red orb necklace.

"Oh, this? It was given to me by this weird, red haired man during the 10th World Tournament. He told me that if I make a wish on it, it would come true. Of course I don't believe him, but I still wear it as a good luck charm." Neo answered.

"Oh. Just wondering." Yui said. The two sat in awkward silence. "Happy Birthday."

"What?" Neo said.

"Anna told me it was your birthday today. She also said you didn't like to celebrate it unless it was with the whole family."

'Is there anything that Anna didn't tell you? Did she tell you what my favorite teddy bear's name was too?' "Oh, so Anna did tell you that."

"Neo, close your eyes. I have a present for you." Yui said surprising Neo. Neo was blushing slightly.

"Umm, okay." Neo closed his eyes, waiting for his signal to open his eyes. He then felt something, or in this case someone, press against his lips. He opened his eyes to see Yui has kissed him. Yui then pulled back, slight blush on her face. Neo on the other hand was as red as a tomato. "W-W-Wow. How did you know?" Neo said playfully.

"Oh, shut up. Come on, the others are waiting for us." Yui said as she stood up and walked away, Neo soon following.

" Hey guys, you two were up there for some time. What were you doing?" Vent asked.

" Nothing Vent, now let's start this party." The music started, Mike was standing in a corner with his soda, Anna watching a movie with Yui and Vent. Neo was having a talk with Tenshi.

"This is only the beginning, isn't it coach?" Neo asked.

"Yeah. We'll be training until the tournament starts. I've scheduled a ride to the Team Player Village. There you can rest, practice, and tune your gunpla as needed. Think you can handle it?" Tenshi asked.

Even if the others were doing different things, they could still hear Tenshi. They all looked at him and said, "Oh course we can."

( The next day)

"OH, MY BABIES ARE GOING TO THS CHAMPIONSHIPS! I'M SO PROUD!" yelled, hugging both of her children tighter than ever.

"Mom, we'll be fine. Tenshi will get us there with no problems." Anna said. The moment the name 'Tenshi' left her lips, 's eyes lit up.

"Tenshi? Tenshi Takamoto?" She asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Neo said.

"Excuse me. I have to say hi to an old friend. This won't take but a minute." said with a smile, but anyone could sense the dark, enraged aura around her. She walked into the club house and you could only hear voices.

"Hey Alica, I have seen you in what- 3 years? How are you? Hey, what are you-Argh!" Tenshi said.

"If you harm my children in anyway, I will end you. Are. We. Clear?" said in her deathly voice.

"Crystal clear." Tenshi managed to squeak out.

"Good." She said in her happy tone again as she left. "You guys have a safe trip, and do your best you two." Tenshi then come out, holding his neck, after probably getting the strangling of a lifetime.

'What was that about?' Yui, Mike, Anna, Vent, and Neo all thought at the same time.

"Come on guys. The tournament isn't gonna wait for anyone." Tenshi said as he started the car. The five battlers got in and Tenshi drove off, leaving the parents to themselves.

"Now honey, was that really necessary? I know you're worried about them, but was choking him really necessary?" Mr. Subaru asked his wife.

"You know what kind of magazine he reports for, right?" She retorted back.

"…Good point. I hope Neo doesn't find out." He said.

"You and me both." She said.

Neo was sitting in the back with Anna, Vent, and Mike. He spotted something under Tenshi's seat.

"Hey Tenshi, what's this?" Neo asked as he grabbed the magazine, only for Vent to grab it and hide it.

"Trust me, you don't want to know." Vent told him.

'Okay. Look out World Championship, because we're coming to win this, and we won't let anything stop us.'

( Player village, Wednsday, 11:30am.)

Team Blazing Star had finally arrived, but when Neo and the others stepped out, they were met with some familiar faces.

"Wait a minute. You're…" Neo said.

" Hmmm? Oh, it you guys." Said Victor.

" Aha! I knew I would get my rematch sooner or later." Said Mila as she reached for her gunpla.

" You! You're the one who interrupted our practice battle. Oh, you are so gonna get it." Anna said as she reached for her gunpla, only to he stopped by Neo. Mila was also stopped by Victor.

" I'm sorry about her. My sister has a bit of an anger issue.' Neo said

"That's okay, Mila has the same issue." Victor said.

"Do not!" Both Anna and Mila rejected.

" Hey, how about we just let them settle this? Just a one on one gunpla battle." Victor offered

"I'll allow it." Neo said as he and Victor released their respective hot-heads.

" Oh, now it's on. I hope your Freedom's ready for a thrashing." Anna said as she set herself up at the conveniently placed battle arena nearby.

"Sorry, but you're not fighting my Freedom today. This time, you'll be facing the azure princess of Zeon, my Princess Kshatriya." Mila said as she pulled out her metallic blue Kshatriya.

" Fine. Let's do this." Anna said with a smile as she readied the Death Banshee.

Beginning Plavsky Particle dispersal. Field 9, Colony. The battle field looked like a giant space colony, similar to Axis used my Char Aznable in the Second Neo Zeon War.

Battle Start.

"Anna Subaru,Death Banshee, Let's go!"

"Mila Kaiser, Princess Kshatriya, Heading out!"

And so the rivalries begin. Poor Neo. Not even there five minutes and Anna's already started a fight. Who will appear next? Let me know in the reviews who you think should show up next. See ya.
