Total Drama Build Fighters

Episode 3: Battle Fever G

(Opening Theme: "Win Tough Fight" by You Yamakazi)

The episode Begins the afternoon after the end of the previous one inside of a strange area filled with floating islands in the sky, much like the ones from the James Cameron film "Avatar". Inside of the arena, a modified 1/144 High Grade GN-001 Gundam Exia with new shorter shoulder armor brandishing its GN long and short blades in both hands was fighting a modified 1/144 GF13-021NG Gundam Spiegel or "Shadow Gundam" as it was refereed to in the English dub of "Mobile Fighter G Gundam" equipped with a new back skirt with a storage compartment for various weapons alongside its main weapon: a giant shuriken mounted on the unit's Core Lander. while dashing around the area at lightning pace. The German ninja-themed mobile fighter was blocking every strike the Exia made using it's own arm mounted elbow blades, both units trying to match the other's attack speed and thrusting power as they zoomed around multiple islands. The Exia then broke off the fight and fled to a nearby island with the Shadow Gundam in hot pursuit hoping to use this opportunity to finish the fight with a win in its favor. Once on the island grounds, the Exia then sheathed its GN long and short blades and headed to a cave in the island's center, there it armed itself with the original unit's main weapon: the GN Sword 1, pilot Setsuna F. Seiei's weapon of choice during the first season of "Gundam 00 (Double Oh)". As the GN Drive powered unit exited the cave with sword in hand, it was met with a downpour of kunai throwing daggers, the thrower of said daggers was no other than the Shadow Gundam itself, preparing another volley of the lethal throwing knives. As the ninja-like mobile fighter sent another cascade of black steel down upon its opponent, the Exia began to swing its mighty GN Sword 1 to deflect each of the daggers that were sent its way with a series of rapid sword slashes. Shadow Gundam then decided to use its ace in the hole to end the match: it threw the giant shruiken into the air as it began to move its hands and create a series of symbols with them, the way a ninja would focus energy to perform special ninja arts. Once the final sign was made, the giant throwing star dissolved into a giant cloud of black steel as thousands of smaller shurikens began to rain down upon the Anno Dominni Era mobile suit who was dodging whatever stars it could while having the shield on its left arm soak up as much of the assault as it could handle. By the end of it, the Exia had multiple shurikens lodged in various, non-vital plates in the unit's armor with the shield taking the brunt of the damage as it was covered in throwing stars. The time came for the German ninja to strike, thinking it had dealt a crippling blow to its foe, charging in to make its final death blow on the Exia, it was surprisingly met with the blades of both the GN Sword 1 in the unit's right hand and a long cutlass style sword with some sort of device in the center of the hand guard in its left. The blades pierced the ninja's chest, forcing it to go limp and end the battle with the Exia claiming victory.

System Voice: Battle ended. Winner: Shawn Dixon.

The particles dissipated to reveal that Shawn Dixon: the zombie conspiracy theorist and survival expert that Geoff and Brody showed off to the adversity prone Coulson twins had won a GunPla battle against a tall and slender Caucasian male with dark orange, almost light brown hair and black eyes covered by green lenses glasses wearing a salmon pink long sleeve shirt under a blue tee shirt that had light green cuffs and colar with a picture of a sandwich in the center with olive green cargo pants and blue sneakers.

Harold Cheever Norbert Dorris McGrady V: Dammit, I could have sworn that my shuriken special move managed to cripple the Exia Kaiser long enough for my Shadow Gundam Blitz to deliver the final blow that would win me the match. How'd you manage to survive all of those shurikens coming at you all at once?

Shawn Dixon: It wasn't easy, I was just barely able to use Exia Kaiser's GN Zombie Slayer Cape to deflect just enough of them before they began to hit my unit's joint system, I was able to grab a hold of my GN Zombie Slayer Sword that I had hid nearby right before you tried to bum rush me to finish the job you thought you did. Don't beat yourself up too bad though, you almost had me near the end with your special move.

Harold: Still, I need to work harder on my GunPla mad skills if I'm ever gonna get the upper hand on you, and win the heart of my dear LeShauna.

Estwynn: Well, you can work on them while you watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines. The winner of this match is Shawn Dixon, he advances to the next round. With that out of the way, let's move on to the second match of the day: Tyler VS Cameron.

(Author's Note #2: Same set up as episode two, except that Estwynn will announce who fights. Don't take the descriptions of what GunPlas each fighter is using as speech, those are to help you envision what they look like. Let's get started.)

Estwynn: Match 2: Tyler Robinson (a modified 1/144 High Grade Extreme Gundam bearing a heavy metal rock star motif with new shoulders, a new Mohawk adorned head unit and a double neck beam guitar as its main weapon) VS Cameron Wilkons (1/144 High Grade GF13-017NJII God/ Burning Gundam). Inside the canyon battlefield that Mickey and Carrie fought in, Tyler use his double neck beam guitar to try and shoot down Cameron's God Gundam , every shot misses which allows Cameron to move his unit into position to win the match, Tyler is defeated just moments later when Cameron uses his units "God/ Erupting Burning Finger" attack to destroy the Extreme Gundam's head unit.

Estwynn: Match 3: Ellody Bialli (1/144 High Grade Cosmic Era GAT-X105 Strike Gundam in its "Perfect Striker" combination using the Sword, Launcher, and Aile Striker packs at the same time) VS Owen Marshall (1/144 High Grade MRC-F20 Mobile Sumo Mass Production Type controlling a custom made assault platform using parts from the 1/144 GunPla Battle Arms and MS Launcher option sets). Near a small island surrounded by nothing but water, Owen was using his entire arsenal to shoot down Ellody while she hovered above from a safe distance trying to get a good reading on her opponent's combat capabilities. After getting what she needed, she moved her machine right above Owen's mech and fired her Launcher cannon straight down, ending the match as the silver mobile suit exploded.

Match 4: Sky Farris (a modified 1/144 High Grade XXXG-01W0 Wing Gundam Zero from the "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing TV series with new shoulder armor, new binders on the wings, and equipped with a new Buster Rifle that could split apart and act as a pair of twin swords) VS Brick McArthur (a 1/144 High Grade of the Lu Bei/ Ryubi Gundam from the "SD Sangokuden: Brave Battle Warriors" animated shorts). In a mountain arena set during the winter, Sky and Brick cross blades while in midair until Sky get hit in the left shoulder by one of Brick's swords. After landing, she turns one of her aptly named "Buster Blades" into its gun form and began to fire a few shots at Brick's Gundam. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" themed managed to avoid them while moving in closer for the kill, that is until it was shot point blank in the chest by Sky's combined twin barrel Buster Blade Rifle. The match ends with the Ryubi Gundam blowing up and taking the arms of Sky's machine with it.

Brick McArthur: Excellent fighting out there, solider. You really had me with that final twin rifle shot.

Sky Farris: It wasn't that good a win though, my Wing Zero Heaven's Sword lost both of its arms in the process. What if your Gundam managed to survive that shot? I would have been a sitting duck.

Brick: That can be expected when you fire a Buster Rifle at point blank range, but you shouldn't really worry about it, it's not like the two of us were fighting for our lives in an actual war using real live mobile suits.

Sky: True, but I really wish that I could always win a battle without my Wing Gundam Heaven's Sword taking any damage in any way, even if the damage isn't permanent.

Brick: That can't always be the case. Believe me, I would love for all my hard work on my Gundam to be permanently preserved whenever it went into battle, but it just can't be done.

Estwynn: I don't blame you or Sky for not wanting her GunPla to be harmed, both of you have put a lot of work into creating your machines into what they are now. You should be proud of what you have made, but you must also never forget this ancient saying: "Go into battle expecting to die, and you shall live. Go into battle expecting to live, and you are doomed to perish." With the thrills of GunPla battle comes risks, risks that could result in the destruction of the very thing that you have built from the ground up. I take this wisdom with me into all of my fights, so should you.

Sky and Brick: Yes, coach.

Estwynn: Good, with that out of the way, I think we should start the fifth match of the day: Devin Wilcox VS Brody Jennings.

Devin:Look's like I'm up.

Carrie: Good luck, homie. I know you can win this.

Geoff: Knock 'em dead, bro. You got this!

Brody: Let's rock!

Both fighters approached opposite ends of the arena as the system went back online.

System Voice: GunPla battle, combat mode, start up. Model damage level set to "C". Please set your GP Base.

Builder/ Fighter: Devin Wilcox

Unit: Gouf Ignited

Builder/ Fighter: Brody Jennings

Unit: Gundam Age 1 Sparrow

System Voice: Beginning Plavisky particle dispersal.

The particles manifested into an abandoned city that appeared to be struck by a combination of natural disasters and military action.

System Voice: Field 7: Ruins. Please set your GunPla.

Devin set down a 1/144 High Grade ZGMF-2000 Gouf Ignited from the series "Gundam Seed Destiny" that had been painted a bright shade of light green where all of the armor parts should have been blue while Brody set down a 1/144 High Grade AGE-1S Gundam Age 1 Sparrow with the blue parts of the armor painted into a dark shade of hot pink, and the white armor parts painted gunmetal grey.

System Voice: Battle start.

Both units launched into the remains of the decimated city landscape in search of the other. Since both units were built with close combat in mind, both fighter got the idea to hide somewhere and wait until the other was in just the right spot, then sneak attack the other in hopes of a quick win. Once inside of what could be only considered an old industrial complex, both fighters began to look for hiding places to wait for the other, only to be met with not only one another, but the sparks caused when Devin's beam sword clashed with Brody's green bladed dagger. The two units zoomed around the battle arena at breakneck speeds with only the sparks caused when their blades clashed to indicate where they were at the time. Devin decided to use the "Heat Rod" whip stored inside the wrist of his Gouf's right arm to reel in the Gundam and finish the job. He managed to grab a hold of the Gundam's dagger wielding arm, and began to pull Brody in for the final blow, it was then that Brody decided to pull out his special weapon. Since the Gundam Age 1 can't use its beam sabers while in its Sparrow configuration, Brody fixed this problem by making custom mounts on his side skirt armor for additional bladed weapons, such in the case of the current situation: a broadsword from the series "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans" with the blade being painted green with a kind of paint that allows the sword to not be broken by beam based weaponry, such as Devin's sword. The Age 1 cut itself free from the Gouf's grip using the sword in its left hand. Devin managed to get his bearings back quickly and began to charge the Gundam with beam sword in hand with both units crossing blades while particle sparks flew all over the place. The battle finally ended when the Age 1 managed to jab the dagger it was using into the cockpit of the Gouf Ignited to end the match.

System Voice: Battle ended. Winner: Brody Jennings.

Geoff: Way to go, Broday!

Carrie: It's okay, homie. You'll get 'em next time.

Devin: Good fight out there, bro. You really had me in the final stretch.

Brody: Thanks, man. I knew that I could crush it if I timed my sword and dagger just right.

Estwynn: That was an impressive comeback, but it wasn't just timing that won you the match, it was luck. Let's hope you can tap into it for the rest of the tournament.

Brody: I'll do my best, coach.

Estwynn: Now then, I say we get on to the next match. Match six: Geoff Fisher (a modified 1/144 High Grade MSZ-005A1 Zeta Plus Gundam A1 variant painted salmon pink where all of the lighter grey parts were supposed to be and equipped with additional thrusters to the unit's overall speed) VS Jasmine Tompson (a modified 1/144 High Grade XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X1 with new wing binders on its back, a new head made to look like the Gundam was wearing the hat of a pirate captain, and the cockpit area was painted metallic orange to make the unit look like it had a see-through cockpit). In the midst of a battle between two naval fleets, both units were firing on one another while jumping from aircraft carrier to aircraft carrier due to their shots tearing the ships apart in with one hit. Geoff set his rifle aside and drew his beam saber as he maneuvered his Gundam to strike at the enemy, only to overshoot his speed and be met with blades mounted to the bottom of the Crossbone Gundam's feet piercing his unit's backpack. The match ends with the Zeta Plus going limp on an aircraft carrier with Jasmine's mech standing on top of it.

Estwynn: Match number seven: DJ Paul (a modified 1/144 High Grade RGZ-95 ReZEL Defenser Type C with a new flight pack unit outfitted with 2 "Planet Defensor" plates from the "After Colony" era on each side of the wings and painted a dark green where the off white and white parts should have been) VS Samantha Saunders (a modified 1/144 High Grade RX-0 Unicorn Gundam in its "unicorn" state with new side skirt armor made to look like the "3D Maneuver Gear" from "Attack On Titan" with a katana sword from the MS Launcher option part set mounted on each one). In the reaches of deep space, both units were flying around as fast as they could in the zero gravity environment with DJ's magnetic discs flying around in groups of four inside of a square shaped formation. Samantha knew that those plates needed to go first, due to DJ's main strategy of battle being to drain his opponent's energy so their GunPla would be unable to continue in the match and since beam weapons don't work on the circular peices of "After Colony" technology, she had to let her swords do the dirty work, which they did well enough as two of the plates exploded after being struck by an x-shaped cross slashed. The plates now converged on the Unicorn Gundam in a pyramid formation with it looking like the tall and lean defensive fighter having this bout in the bag, that is until his opponent used her "3D Maneuver Gear" themed side skirts to grapple to the hull of a destroyed battleship and escaping before the draining could begin. The plates moved in on the cornered Unicorn in hot pursuit, only to be met by a spinning slash performed by Samantha's twin swords, destroying the remaining "Planet Defensor" plates before they got too close for comfort. DJ now had to move in, and go on the offensive as he and Samantha shot at one another using their respective beam rifles, with no one getting a clear shot off. The two of them met each other shot for shot until the former cheerleader managing to get up close and personal with the ReZEL, and delivering a fatal stab to its head unit using one of the Unicorn Gundam's wrist mounted beam sabers.

Estwynn: Match eight: Trent Jameson (a modified 1/144 Extreme Gundam bearing a lion themed motif, with three beam claws mounted on each wrist, a three portion mane on its head unit, three claw spikes on each shoulder and a beam sword attached to a wire housed in the unit's back skirt armor that acted as a lion's tail of sorts) VS Zoey Bale (a 1/144 High Grade version of the SDV-04 Command Gundam that appeared to be designed by Hajime Katoki). Inside of an arctic tundra in the midst of a blizzard, both units were trying to find one another since the use of ranged weapons would most likely be a bad idea in the conditions provided by the battle system. Zoey noticed the shadow of Trent's Gundam nearby and readied her unit's "Heat Dagger" as it appeared that her opponent was coming closer to her with its beam claws drawn and the light emanating from them glowing bright in the blur of snow. The two of them clashed blades with no one getting a clear hit on the other, that is until Trent used his beam sword tail in a whipping slash motion, causing the main chest armor of the Command Gundam to be sliced in half. Before Zoey could get her bearings back, the fight was over with the Extreme Gundam using its beam claws to stab the military themed mobile suit's head unit.

Estwynn: Well, that was a rather quick one. Congratulations, Trent, you move on to the next round. I think we have time for one more, so would Dawn Hawthorne and Leonard Wattson please approach the arena for the final match of the day?

Both fighters made their way to where Estwynn had instructed them, but not before receiving a few words of encouragement from a few of their peers/ lovers. Namely Dawn getting a kiss on the cheek from her princess-themed fashion sporting lover: Ella Muse, and a tall, slender African Canadian male with black eyes under freckled cheeks sporting a green wizard's hat that covered all the hair on his head and a green wizard robe with two yellow circles on each side of the chest and a yellow lining in the center being given some advice from a portly tanned Caucasian female with platinum blonde hair and black eyes dressed like a viking with a brown tube top with matching wristguards and dark green skirt held up by a brown leather belt with a bronze buckle in the center with tan faux-fur boots.

Ella Muse: Please be careful out there, Sir Dawn. I always worry whenever you have to battle, and sometimes I wonder if something bad will happen, and I'll never see you again.

Dawn Hawthorne: Ella, sweetie, you know that none of this is real, it's just a game played with hunks of plastic. No one is ever in any real danger out there.

Ella: I know, but it always makes me worry that something will go wrong, and something bad will happen to you and I love you so much.

Dawn: You have absolutely nothing to worry about, I'll come and meet with you after the match.

Tammy Lawson: Tread with caution, my lord. You are about to do battle with one of the most powerful knights in all of the realm, truly a great challenge for your wizardry.

Leonard Wattson: Fear not, dear Tammy. I shall defeat my foe with honor, and claim victory in this tournament of champions.

System Voice: GunPla battle, combat mode, start up. Model damage level set to "C". Please set your GP Base.

Builder/ Fighter: Dawn Hawthorne

Unit: Shin Knight Gundam

Builder/ Fighter: Leonard Wattson

Unit: Wizard Nu Gundam

System Voice: Beginning Plavisky particle dispersal.

The particles descended as they created a medieval castle themed arena.

System Voice: Field 11: Castle. Please set your GunPla.

Dawn set down a 1/144 High Grade version of the Shin Knight Gundam seen in the "Gundam Musou/ Dynasty Warriors Gundam" games while Leonard set down a magical owl themed version of the RX-93 Nu Gundam from the "Char's Counterattack" movie.

System Voice: Battle start.

Both units launched towards the castle grounds with swords drawn. As they were, the adversity prone Coulson twins of Jay and Mickey approached the worrying princess look alike.

(Author's note #3: Since I really want to show off the Shin Knight Gundam in action because it's currently one of my all time favorite mobile suits and my go to unit in "DW:G3", while those three talk, when you see (), it means that is what's happening in the fight so you can still witness the battle. Enjoy.)

Jay: Um, you wouldn't happen to be Ella Muse, would you? (Knight Gundam landed in the center of the castle grounds, waiting for its foe to arrive.)

Ella: Yes, I am. Is there anything that you need from me, new friends? (The Wizard Nu Gundam then appeared atop the highest tower of the castle and flew downward to meet its opponent in combat.)

Mickey: Actually, my brother and I were wondering how Dawn became your...well...you know... (Both units began to clash swords as soon as the Nu Gundam was in close enough striking range, with Dawn using her unit's shield to block every other hit.)

Ella: Girlfriend? You don't have to beat around the bush, I would be more than willing to tell you all about it. (Leonard's Gundam broke off the fight and formed a circle of what could only be considered Plavisky particle induced magic to shoot a series of fire balls towards his opponent from a distance with Dawn dodging every shot with lightning fast reflexes.)

Jay: That would be really great, we'd be willing to learn whatever you're willing to tell anyone. (Dawn then used some Plavisky magic of her own to send a large amount of icicles towards the fire balls.)

Ella: I suppose that I should start from the beginning. Sir Dawn and I had been friends for as much of my childhood as I can remember. (The icicles and fire balls collided with one another, causing a mist shroud to form with each explosion.) Whenever something was scaring me, she would do everything that she could to make me feel better. (Leonard then used his sword to create a cyclone to blow away the mist cloud, only to find that the Knight Gundam was nowhere to be seen.) Whenever I needed a friend to talk to, she would always try and be there for me, if not in person, then in spirit. (The Nu Gundam then looked up, only to see the Knight Gundam falling towards it preparing a downward slash, only to be met with the Wizard Nu Gundam's main weapon: an owl themed magic wand as the two mechs continued to trade blows with one another.) In fact, I wasn't all too much surprised when I found out that she loved me. I always knew somehow that we both had some sort of feelings for each other, I just didn't think that it would end up with us being in love so soon. (Using Plavisky magic, both Dawn and Leonard both created a pair of two duplicates using the shadows that cascaded over the castle walls as the now six fighters began to trade blows and sword strikes.) Oh, it was so magical when we admitted our feelings for each other. It was the weekend right before the end of the previous school year, Sir Dawn and I were spending the whole day walking around town and talking about our plans for the summer outside of battle club. (The shadow clones had dissipated from lethal strikes dealt to them as both Gundams unleashed a full onslaught of Plavisky magic, elemental attacks were flying all around the arena as the castle took the brunt of the damage. Giant stones made holes in walls from being thrown, lightning and fire based attacks were being shot from their hands, the castle grounds were now flooded with water and ice, cyclones and blade slashed made marks on the castle walls, devastating them, and even with all of the damage done and power spent, both units both had the strength to keep going at full force.) After we took a walk in the park to watch all of the cute little animals carry out their daily lives, it started raining while we were on our way to my apartment, so we decided to hide out under a bridge that was on the way there until the storm passed. (Both fighters decided to use their full power in an effort to win the match as quickly as possible as Leonard activated all six of the magically themed Fin Funnels housed on the Gundam's back while it began to glow with a bright orchid colored aura while the Knight gundam was surrounded by a bright yellow aura as inside of the control unit, Dawn's hair began to slightly spike up while she focused her energy in a state of serene calm. The Knight Gundam had entered the first stage of the transformation state known only as "Hyper Mode": a stage of transformation exclusive to the world of "Mobile Fighter G Gundam" that could only be achieved with a few select units, and a serene mind that has been tempered to embrace absolute calm, at least in THAT series any way.)

(Author's Note #4: Since I brought it up, I really should explain how this works in my story. "Super Mode" and "Hyper Mode" both act like the "Kaio-Ken" and "Super Saiyan" transformations of "Dragon Ball Z/ GT/ Super" respectively, with both states being achieved through either intensive training, or achieving a state of serene calm in battle and both of them can be evolved further than what you saw in "G Gundam". You do not require a traumatic loss of someone you care about to trigger either in this universe. Also expect the "Sekiha Tenkyoken" to act like the "Kamehameha Wave" as well, because you know that Estwynn will DEFINITELY be using it. Don't say that I didn't warn you people in advance.)

Mickey: What happened after that? (Both units took to the air as Knight Gundam dodged every shot that the Wizard Nu Gundam's Fin Funnels could shoot at it while the wizard themed mobile suit managed to quickly get out of the way of a series of swift punches and kicks from the glowing knight.)

Ella: It was there and then that Sir Dawn told me that she had something to tell me, and somehow, right there and then, I knew whatever she had to tell me had to be not only important, but also very hard for her to talk about since she never had an easy time talking about certain things to anyone, not even her own family. (Knight Gundam managed to land a right legged spin kick to the abdomen of the Nu Gundam, causing it to crash land in the flooded remains of the castle grounds. The wizard themed mobile suit managed to get back on its feet just before the Knight Gundam managed to land a drop kick from above before landing a punch to its opponent's head unit.) It was right then and there that she told me that she couldn't keep her feelings bottled up anymore, and she told me that she loved me, she had always loved me, and always would. I was of course a little shocked at first, but deep down somewhere, I knew that she meant it for a very long time, and I knew that I loved her in the same way. (The Gundams were meeting each other blow for blow as none of their attacks were getting through to where they were supposed to hit. The castle was in absolute ruins as the two machines were still fighting for supremacy, wrecking whatever was left of the inside of the building with every the impacts of every hit dealt.) After I told her that I felt the same way, we both drew closer to one another, she stood up on the tips of her toes, and then the best thing to ever happen to me in my life happened: I received my first kiss from the person that I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. (The fight escalated into its climax when Dawn managed to get some pretty good hits on Leonard's Gundam, putting it on the ropes. The time came to end it as the Knight Gundam delivered one final blow to her opponent, using an uppercut to behead the Wizard Nu Gundam and ending the fight once and for all.) And we've been together ever since. (The triumphant Knight Gundam rose its fist in the air as a sign of victory.)

System Voice: Battle ended. Winner: Dawn Hawthorne.

Geoff: Dude, that fight was intense.

Brody: I know, right? Like when the castle was crashing down around both of them while they were still fighting, and those shiny forms, those were totally bad ass.

Samantha Saunders: Using "Hyper Mode" to speed up the fight in her favor, very clever. If I have to fight her in the next round or later on, I'll have to really cut loose.

Ella: Oh, thank goodness it's over, I was really beginning to worry.

Jay: Thanks for telling Mickey and me how you two became a couple.

Ella: My pleasure, I actually think talking to you two helped take my mind off of the match, and in turn caused me to not worry as much watching Sir Dawn and Sir Leonard battle.

Mickey: Anytime.

Estwynn: Well, that was...intense. Dawn Hawthone moves on to round 2. What say we hold off on the free for all until tomorrow afternoon?

Pretty much all of the club was in agreement.

Estwynn: Okay then, you can all go home now. See you tomorrow for the final match of round 1.

Everyone began to head home in their usual ways to rest for the final bout of the first round that would take place the next day. Samantha Saunders had just gotten off of her cell phone before talking to current housemate, Sky Farris.

Samantha: You might want to tell Misty that I'll be home a little later than usual tonight.

Sky: Let me guess, the Muskouka Recon Battalion is having a meeting, and they need you to be there.

Samantha: Hey, they're good people when you get to know them. Need I remind you that they're helping us with our little "Dark Avalon/ White Fang" situation?

Sky: And need I remind you that I don't trust some of them not to do things that could land them, and you in jail. Remember when their leader tried to break every bone in Amy's body after he heard about what she and you ex-mom did to you after your dad died? Not that I'm saying she didn't deserve it.

Samantha: I will admit that going to that much of an extreme was going a little too far, but Erin only did it because he actually cared about how I felt. He and the rest of the Battalion were there to reach out in support of me during the whole emancipation trial when I pretty much had barely anyone on my side. And besides, I already talked to him about it, and I made it perfectly clear: no physical violence outside of a ring or GunPla battle arena.

Sky: Okay, okay. I'll tell my sister that you'll be home late tonight. Just be home before nightfall, we still have school tomorrow.

Samantha: I know, and I will.

The two of them then got on Samantha's Hayabusa and drove off as others got rides or walked home, leaving Estwynn to lock up for the night.

Estwynn: I'm a little surprised that Miss Hawthorne wold go so far as to use "Hyper Mode" to end her match with Leonard, when "Super Mode" could have easily done the job to the same extent. Well, it's becoming clearly evident that my students are indeed becoming stronger, and tomorrow's free for all match should solidify the proof of it.

Estwynn then looked to the sky, deep in thought as the episode came to a close.

(Ending Theme: US Ending from "Gundam Wing")

Brody: Dudes, it's time for the free for all, wicked!

Bridgette: At least now we'll know who will be joining us in the next round.

Jay: Who do you guy's think is gonna win?

Jasmine Tompson: I don't know, mate. But I can't wait to find out.

Dawn: Next time: "All For One".

Cameron Wilkons: One can only surmise that this fight will be interesting to watch.

(Author's Note #5: HOLY CRAP! Over six thousand words in this episode alone, such a long time coming. Any ways, episode 3 of "TDBF" is done, and you got a ton of battles, Ella telling you how she and Dawn became a couple, some bad ass Knight Gundam and "Hyper Mode" action, all just in time for Christmas. I'm taking Christmas week off from writing to enjoy the holiday, but I will be back afterwards working on episode 4. In the meantime, there is something that I need from all of you: I have decided that every 5 episodes, I will do a Q&A session on my profile page. This is where you come in: you can send your questions via private message or from the review section of each of the chapters that I have uploaded, plus episode 4, and after I upload episode 5, I will answer as many as I can. Don't ask about my personal life outside of the site, you won't get any answers. I would also like to thank Raven42425604 for giving me the idea of which interim GunPlas Brody and Devin will be using until I can come up with true customs for them and Carrie, and for being here since the very beginning. Keep reading for trivia from this episode next time and until then, DSX62415, out.)
