"… the one who caused Darren to lose his split personality."

Kaila was the first to react. "Wait, you said that Darren didn't have split personality disorder."

Darren quickly silenced her next protest. "That was a lie we told everyone after they asked what it was like to be kidnapped and almost killed."

"It was frightening as all hell: all the attention from the reporters and our classmates. We said nothing to everyone who recognized us and those who didn't."

Raymond saw that now was a good time to chip in the conversation. "I always knew, I just said nothing."

Kaila was now confused, I'd imagine. "So that's why you guys always spoke up so loudly against bullying and other forms of 'discrimination'."

Monica just crossed the line by asking "Were you a victim of 'discrimination' Kaila?"

"Well, and as childish as it was, I was mocked for being the only kid in the class who wore glasses. They all called me four-eyes, dweeb, geek, bug-eyes: the whole nine yards."

"And who was it that stopped all that?"

"It was Kale, Darren and Raymond." Monica looked at the three of us with wonder. "Anyways, because I didn't want them to protect me anymore, I started wearing contacts."

"Huh…"

Darren and I interjected at the same time. "Anyways, let's just focus on the battle."

All five of us were walking down the street after a successful win, but we were all distracted which caused our teamwork to falter a bit. We were about to go our separate ways until Monica brought the subject back up. "What happened back then?"

"…" I really paused there for a moment. "Do we really need to tell you?"

"I think it's necessary to help you face the ghosts of your past and to allow yourself to move forward instead of just repressing it."

"Just tell her Kale, because I'm sick of hiding behind lies."

"Fine… it all started during the fifth grade."


We had just gotten out of school and Darren and I had planned to start a wave battle against CPUs when Jane suddenly dragged us to her house… that was the start of the end for us. She spiked our drinks and then later had us play Gunpla Battle when we were sober. "If you guys beat me, then I'll let you go."

Darren, who went into his violent personality, barked "We will win, and when we do we'll report you to the police!"

"You can only try sweetheart."

"Please set your GP Base. Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal. Field 2, Desert. Please set your Gunpla." Darren and I set an Arios and Cherudim while she set down an RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee custom of the GM III from Gundam Unicorn. "Battle start."

"Arios, Darren Blake, hasshin!"

"Cherudim, Kale Cassel, nerai utsu!"

"Jane Bard, GM Banshee, mokuhyou wo tataku!"

The two of us set down while she stayed in the air and made a Banshee reference. "Kale, let's just Trans-Am and hit her in one shot!"

"Darren, we don't know the extent of her abilities and you suggest that?" We stared at each other until the warning blared. "Incoming!" We split in two directions and already she's firing at the both of us with a beam magnum/spray gun and a beam rifle from the ReZEL. Who carries that as part of one's arsenal?

"I hope you two are ready to get your asses handed to me!"

Darren went crazy at that point. "NAMERUNA!" Darren charged right in with a beam saber and fired Arios' GN Twin Beam Rifle. Jane dodged the shots and grabbed Arios by the chest through activating the NT-D program and unlocking its Armed Armor VN.

"Well sweetheart, unless you have some secret weapon up your sleeve, you're not coming out of here!" The lion hand closed and split Arios into 5 pieces. "How about it, Kale, will you surrender peacefully and maybe I'll consider giving you less of what I have planned?"

"Like hell I'll surrender! Trans-Am!" Cherudim turned red and zipped around the GM Banshee. I selected the GN Pistol IIs when she shot off a round from the beam magnum right at the left shoulder; I lost the whole left arm and lost Trans-Am and now vulnerable.

"I'll just take you right now!" She put the beam magnum on the back and used the Armed Armor BS to penetrate Cherudim's armor. "It ends right now!" She fired one shot at the hind verniers where the GN Drive resided; Cherudim exploded into a GN Particle cloud. "It's my win sweetheart."

"Battle ended." The particles dissipated and then I learned that even though Darren and I were the top fighters in the county, we weren't the top fighters in the state or the country and we never would. After that, she covered our mouths with a rag and chloroform.

She must've given me the largest and heaviest dose as possible because when I woke up, it was to Darren screaming his lungs out in pain from all the knife wounds on his upper body; there was an especially huge, ugly cut starting left and ran right across his chest. "I see you're awake, honey." Please spare me the creepy shit and let me out of here! "Well, you can't really leave because I've taped your arms and legs to the chair you're currently sitting in and added heavy-duty rope. In other words, you can't escape, even if you were able to get out of your bonds!" She laughed manically as she injected something into my arm. "It's only painkillers. It'll take the pain away for about an hour, and when it comes, you'll be screaming for mercy like him as well." She laughed maniacally again as she started running a knife up my right leg and then made a huge cut as she pulled it out. I saw my blood come out in huge quantities and I knew that I was going to die here. Because my pain receptors had been dulled, one hour felt like a day, and as she made more cuts and slits, more blood flooded out. True to what she said, when the pain finally came through, I freaking bawled and had no choice but to wait it out.

I fainted some time later, and it must've been before Darren woke up because the next thing I knew, Darren and Jane were gone and were replaced by paramedics. I barely heard a word they said because I could barely stay conscious at that point. I fell out of consciousness again and woke up in the ER with an IV attached. I slipped in and out of consciousness again as time passed and each time I woke up in either an MRI scanner, X-ray scanner, or a regular hospital room. Eventually I could stay conscious for longer periods of time and when I could stay conscious the way I could, I was questioned by investigators and attorneys; they all asked me questions to which I gave the truth and only the truth. A week later I was in rehab when someone turned the TV on for the attempted murder case of two young boys who just got out of fifth grade and about to enter middle school.

"The court is now in session for the attempted murder case of Darren Blake and Kale Cassel who could not be here today. The suspect, Jane Bard, is accused with the attempted murder of these two young boys. How does the defense plead?"

"Not guilty Your Honor."

"The prosecution may start with their opening statement." The prosecution opened with the usual stuff, and he added the fact that his clients were kidnapped and tortured over a Gunpla Battle. He ended with "No matter how young a person is, they should be prosecuted for a crime that they have committed!"

Then all the boring stuff during a trial went on and then they declared Jane Bard a victim of her parents' abuse… I've known her parents for a while and there is no way that they would ever be abusive to a child! The jury declared Jane Bard innocent and called her parents in for questioning. As punishment for her crime, however, she was sent to a boarding school where it had the best psychology rehab center in the country. Just knowing that she was still out there made me stay away from Gunpla Battle for at least a year. When I talked to Darren, I found out that he lost his other personality due to the accident and his answers have been plain ever since.


"I know it's not the history that you were expecting Monica, but Darren and I were literally scarred by that moment in time."

Monica stood there silently, no doubt wondering what to say after hearing that. When she finally had something, she was interrupted. "So wait, the case I've been hearing about all day from different people was about the two of you!?"

"Yes Kaila, it was about us."

"Holy shit, why didn't you tell me? I'm one hell of a therapist and I could've helped you with this problem."

Darren then interjected. "The problem is, idiot, that the advice you give is always shitty."

"Who said that?"

"Everyone you've given therapy to."

"If they thought I was a horrible therapist, then they shouldn't have come to me in the first place."

"Well maybe if you weren't such horrible advice, people would be going to you every day!"

"SHUT UP YOU MONKEY!"

While they argued, and frequently went on tangents, Monica finally spoke. "I think that the only way for you to conquer your past is to face it in the manner it was first presented to you."

"Monica, the situation is what got me in this mess in the first place. I can't just go over 9000 and beat the hell out of Jane's Gunpla!"

"You can't not believe what you just said Kale. You have to believe that you can go over 9000 and beat the living hell out of her Gunpla!" Sometimes you scare me Monica.

"Okay, so what you're saying Monica, is to face Jane again in Gunpla Battle."

"Pretty much, yeah."

"I'll be back, I have to take care of some business." I peeled off from my friends down a side alley to make a call. "Listen up, because I'm only going to say this once: I'll be waiting over there." I hung up and hurried to the location that I was referring to. It took me about ten minutes to cross the various streets that led to an arcade that most people don't know about where the old PPSE and the new Yajima battle systems are stored. As I entered the building, I went to a Yajima battle system and started it up.

"Gunpla Battle, combat mode, startup. Model damage level, set to B. Please set your GP Base. Beginning Plavsky Particle dispersal. Field 9, Canyon. Please set your Gunpla."

As I proceeded to set my Gunpla down, I heard, "You're so impatient, just like that time in fourth grade."

"Shut up Jane and let's get down to business." I set down Zabanya SAGA and she put down the same GM Banshee from that time except it was now a GM Banshee Norn.

"Battle start."

"Zabanya SAGA, Kale Cassel, deru!"

"Jane Bard, GM Banshee Norn, hasshin!" She landed on top of the canyon while I was waiting on top of a mountain that was on the canyon. "So you only called me out here for a battle huh?"

"There is only one way to settle this, and that's with the way you started my torture!"


"Why didn't you tell me you were going to settle the score right then and there!?"

"Because I said I had business to attend to. I wanted to do it myself without anyone's help."

"Still, you should've told because we're partners right?"

"Yes, you've made that very clear to me Monica. Now what do you want me say, I'm sorry?"

"For starters, but that's another thing. I just learned that she is a massive bitch."

"If you really knew me and the others, then you would've known from the start that Jane was an egotistical bitch. I just learned what was wrong with my fighting style."

"Do tell."

"I've been using Z-SAGA as a close-range fighter because it could afford to get in close, but it's true purpose wasn't to get in close. If I want to fulfill both Zabanya's original role and my needs, I need to overhaul its design and add parts from a Gunpla that's specifically for close-range like the Crossbone Gundams."

"Interesting, but you still want to subscribe to Zabanya's original role?"

"Trust me, I'm excellent at analytics and the Gunpla fits the purpose and vice versa."

"All right, so when are you going to start refitting the Z-SAGA?"

"As soon as we get home and as soon as I get the general idea."

"Alright." Monica seemed disappointed at the last comment I made. Anyways, in truth, I already have the design, but I can't get it to work as I want it to. By the time we were in the house, it was dark and I was in no mood to actually work on the refit, so I just watched GundamFan520's Crossbone Gundam X-1 Arcade Run for Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost as inspiration for the Z-SAGA refit.

I was in the middle of watching the 7th stage in the arcade run when Lyle came in. "Hey Kale, if a girl said she likes me, and I didn't respond to it at all, would that be rude?"

"Yes it would be rude Ly… you didn't actually do that did you?" He paused for the longest time before shaking his head to signify no. "Oh my god, you are the worst… you never leave a girl hanging if she freaking confesses her feelings to you! I swear it's the whole 'Notice me senpai'-crap."

"Well, I didn't know how to answer back because I just became her friend!"

"Okay, do you have feelings for this girl?"

"Yes."

"Would you openly confess those feelings to her?"

"Probably."

"Not good enough. You have to be able to openly confess your feelings to her even if you're afraid of being shot down." I let him think about this for a second before I remembered something. "Shouldn't you be somewhere else today?"

"Oh crap! I was supposed to go to Gunpla boot camp with my friends!"

"If you run now, you can probably make it. GO!" He rushed out of the house as if he activated Trans-Am… I gotta stop making Trans-Am jokes. "But still, what to do. I'm practically tapped out for today, so I'll just go to sleep." But still, Monica has been in the bathroom for quite a while now. I hope she's okay.

I was deep asleep on my bed and dreaming about a Crossbone Zabanya totally kicking ass in the final rounds when Monica shook me awake. "I'm a little cold Kale. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"What are you five years old? It's the middle of summer and you get cold? Fine, just lay down." I moved over on the bed to make room for her and I slept with my back to her.

"Kale."

"What?"

"Can you turn around?"

"What for?"

"Just do it please."

I had a bad feeling about this, but I said, "Fine." I turned around and then said "What is it?" The next thing I knew was Monica pinning my arms and then sitting on my stomach. "What are you doing?!"

She looked at me with pitiful eyes. "Just hearing you recite that story reminded me of my parents. I don't want to lose a loved one again." What the fu… she considers me a loved one? "So, please follow me with this until the end of the night."

I hesitated. "What brought this on?"

"I just said it idiot! I just can't bear losing someone I love because of something so trivial or grave. I can't help but be sentimental about this. I'm pretty sure you've known this for a while, but I love you Kale."

I hesitated again. "This is actually a surprise for me, but I want to say something as well. As cheesy as this might be, I love you too, but there is no way in hell that you're going to lose me." We just stared at each other for a while and started laughing.

Monica started to wistfully say "But still, I don't want to lose you either way." She leaned in closer and pressed a kiss on me. I was completely shocked and did nothing but kiss back fiercely. I managed to switch our positions so that I was on top and she was on the bottom.

"If you wanted to do this, why didn't you just say so?"


The early alarm that I set was ringing too loudly so I just threw whatever was at hand at it. "Can't be lazing about all day Kale. Get up." I rose halfway off the bed before I noticed that I was wearing nothing over the superior, which is an anatomical term for up, half of my body and I could infer that the inferior, another anatomical term which means down, half of my body was also uncovered. I turned to see my partner in last night's activities.

Monica was looking at me impishly and gave me a curt "Good morning Kale."

I couldn't help but smile and reply back "Good morning Monica." I then thought about my parents. "Do you think my parents know about what we just did?"

"If we play it off and act like we didn't do it, I think they won't suspect a thing."

"That is unless we actually heard everything and then woke up to see the two of you in the same bed and clothes over the side."

"MOM!?"

My dad chipped in. "We heard everything son."

Monica was being sheepish and asked, "By everything, you also heard…"

My mom answered. "Yes, even the whole cheesy 'I love you'." Monica and I groaned. "Come downstairs because we need to have a very serious talk about last night." My parents went out of the room and down the stairs.

I said to Monica "I'll dress in the bathroom." It took me about ten minutes because I had to get a fresh pair of clothes and then make myself look presentable even though it was just an informal talk about what happened last night. Now that I think about last night, it was actually a bit wild. I went outside and found Monica in a new shirt that said "I 3 Gunpla" and a pair of skinny jeans that had Gundam symbols all over it. We looked at each other for half a minute before we proceeded outside the room and downstairs into the living room. "So, what did you guys want to talk about?" Then my parents started with a long-assed tangent anecdote about how they met and all this other stuff I already knew because they told me this story literally a thousand times. So after they finished their story with a moral, they just let us loose and we just returned to my room to build the refit. "So Monica, I have the idea but I couldn't get it to work… so can you help me with it?"

"Sure." So I went over the basic design to get her feedback and she said replace a and b with x and z, take the front skirts of the Crossbone Gundam and replace the old Zabanya front skirt, use the X-1 legs etc. and everytime our hands touched each other to grab something we sort of had that awkward pause and then continue.

The bell must have rung some time later because the gang was literally right outside my door and waiting for an explanation when Kaila just walked up and saw what the two of us were working on. "Is that the Zabanya?"

"Close my dearest Watson: it is an overhauled Gundam Zabanya with parts from the XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 or the F97 if you prefer that, and it's heavily modified to do CQC and long-range sorties as well."

Darren had just walked up to see what was up and asked "When did you have the time to design this thing?"

Raymond, so acute as ever, noted "Yesterday, probably after taking care of that business."

"That's correct my friend. So, I assume you guys did some customization on your own Gunpla right?" They nodded with big smiles on their faces.

Kaila went ahead and presented her Gunpla. "It's a kit-bash between the Seravee Gundam GNHW/B and the Gundam AGE-3 Fortress: Seraphim's arms are now equipped with SigMaxiss Cannons which have a direct feed to the GN Drive, the SigMaxiss Cannons are also placed on the forearms like the original AGE-3 Fortress. The GN Beam Sabers can still come out so don't worry about it. It's also good on the ground and in space as well."

Darren went next. "Mine is a kit-bash between Harute and the Extreme Gundam's Agios Phase: although GN Drive-equipped machines can fly without any appendages, the Agios wings provide much more thrust than usual and can still deploy its Agios Funnels in flight mode."

Raymond said nothing except "Fully-functional Trans-Am."

"Do we have what we need?" Everyone nodded and Monica even pointed to our Ptolemaios 2 Kai. "Alright, let's go!"

At the tournament center, we saw fighters coming in with brand-new Gunpla. As soon as all the fighters were in, the battles started. One that really caught my eye was a team of Jegan ECOAS types fighting against ReZELs; each of the ReZELs were getting shot down except the Commander Type ReZEL which was skillfully dodging the ECOAS team's shots. The ReZEL then performed a barrel roll into the ECOAS team Gunpla and fired its beam rifle four times and all the shots landed home. "Battle ended."

"That's a rare sight, UC Gunpla team versus UC Gunpla team, all from the same era, in a team tournament."

"Not really, you just don't look hard enough sweetie." All of us flinched and jumped back after turning around. "Hi… so, how far did you get under the sheets Kale?" Freaking stalker. "Did you go 'home'?" FUCKING STALKER. "Bye." She walked away with a little oomph in her steps. I am so annihilating her Gunpla.

Kaila broke the silence. "When she said 'under the sheets' and 'home', she didn't mean that you and Monica…"

"I'd rather not talk about it Kaila."

"HOLY MOTHER OF HELL! The two of you had sex?! WHY!?"

I said with a smile on my face, "Monica pressured me into it."

"Kale!"

"But I followed along because we declared our love for each other." The others facepalmed after hearing my last sentence. "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to." They nodded in agreement. "All right, let's go over the plan again one last time."

Yet, they called us up. "Will team 00 Trailblazers and team Meer Pleasure report to the battle floor?"

"Crap, let's just go with it." We walked down towards battle machine nine and acknowledged our opponents.

Jane addressed us with, "Well, why don't we have an excellent Gunpla Battle today?"

I responded with, "Don't toy with us."

"Gunpla Battle, combat mode, startup. Model damage level, set to A. Please set your GP Base. Beginning Plavsky Particle dispersal. Field 2, Desert. Please set your Gunpla." Meer Pleasure put down an Airmaster, a Slash ZAKU Phantom, an Ahead, a Nahel Argama, and instead of her damaged GM Banshee Norn, she put down a Byarlant Custom/Desphys, which is from the Crossbone Gundam Ghost manga, Gunpla that looked a lot more different than the Gunpla that she usually builds. "Battle start."

"Nahel Argama, all ahead full."

"Ahead, need to sortie."

"Airmaster, I've got this."

"ZAKU, please go out."

"Jane Bard, Desphyas, loving you!" God just shut up.

"Ptolemaios, ittekimasu!"

"Seravee Fortress, Kaila Killian, trailing particles!"

"Gundam Harute, Darren Blake, flying for real!"

"Raiser Dash, Raymond Kens, going airborne!"

Monica opened a channel and looked at me. I stared back and gave her a small smile. "It'll be alright." I looked forward and shouted, "Crossbone Zabanya, Kale Cassel, deru!"


All the mobile suits and both ships flew into the field. The Airmaster and Harute transformed and stayed in the air while the other mobile suits landed.

Kale indicated to his team, "Mission Plan 445!"

Team Meer Pleasure just charged in with no regards. The Ahead was separated from the rest by Kaila's Seravee Fortress. "Let's see how long you can dodge my beams!" Kaila fired the SigMaxiss Cannons in alternating patterns alongside with the GN Bazooka II's: she fired SigMaxiss Cannon A right at the Ahead to make it go up, then she fired cannon C to the Ahead's left. Then she fired a GN Bazooka at the Ahead's shield.

"Damn it you're good! But you're too slow!" The Ahead, like the GN-XIII from episode 1 of season 2 of Gundam 00, pulled out its beam saber and charged at the Seravee. "I've got you now!" A GN Field popped up around Seravee Fortress and blocked the Ahead's attack. "Damn it, stupid GN Field!"

At the same time the Slash ZAKU Phantom and Jane proceeded even closer to the core of 00 Trailblazer's formation when Raymond fired off a shot from the 0 Raiser's hidden guns. Raymond then charged at the two Gunpla with swords drawn. Jane, like the coward/chaser she is, pushed the Slash ZAKU Phantom into Raymond's path. "Deal with him for me!"

"Wait, Jane! Don't leave me here!"

"Pay attention to your surroundings!" Raymond slashed one of the Hydra Gatling Beam Cannons off the Slash Wizard pack and proceeded to cut the other one off had the ZAKU not drawn its Falx G7 Beam Axe in time.

"Sorry, but it'll take more than that to pick me off!"

Even so, as the Slash ZAKU Phantom and the Raiser Dash fought, Jane continued to the core of the formation only to encounter Kale and his Crossbone Zabanya which had a cloak over it, hiding everything under it from view. "Well sweetie, how about we start from where we left off?" She fired off a few shots from the Mega Particle Cannons at the Crossbone Zabanya, expecting it to be blown to smithereens. What she didn't expect was a beam coming from within the smoke. "What the… how are you not dead?!"

"Did you really think that I called this the Crossbone Zabanya for nothing?" The smoke cleared up and showed that despite a few charred ends on the cloak, the Crossbone Zabanya was unscratched. "I added an ABC Cloak that has a few extra layers of anti-beam coating."

"I see, but ABC Cloaks do nothing against physical weapons!" Jane fired missiles from an unknown location on the Desphyas at the Zabanya. Kale only smirked as he took the ABC Cloak off and revealed the changed Zabanya. The missiles made solid contact and another cloud appeared, giving the appearance that the Zabanya was damaged. "Even when you thought you had a suitable countermeasure, it was for nothing."

"Wrong again!" Screw whips came out from above the smoke and drilled into the Desphyas' arms.

"Why are you not dead again?!"

"VPS Armor. I knew it was not enough to just add an ABC Cloak so I took the liberty to program VPS into this Gunpla. Just so you know, the VPS will always be active because instead of a Deuterion Battery, it's powered by the GN Drive."

"God damn it, what other defenses do you have?!" Kale just went ahead and showed the last two he had up his sleeve: the beam shield from Crossbones and the Solidus Fulgor beam shield emitters. "Why do you have that many defenses?!"

"I originally wanted to call this the Full Armor Zabanya, but there are too many Full Armor Gundams in the whole franchise, so I compromised." Kale brought the Zabanya's arms down. "And besides, shouldn't a pirate use what they can get their hands on?"

"Well if you're a space pirate, then I'm part of the Federation trying to stop you damn pirates from hitting key facilities and ships!"

"Ew, what the hell is this, foreplay?" Kale retrieved the ABC Cloak and then drew a beam zanber. "Shall we get started?" Kale urged the Zabanya to dash toward the Desphyas and slashed once before Jane could respond to the Zabanya's speed.

"What the hell? Get away from me!" Jane ejected the mandibles to reveal that the giant wrists of the Desphyas weren't wrists but the claws of the Desphys and hands in the middle of them. "I never wanted to reveal these this early, but you forced my song to accelerate!" Jane sped towards the Zabanya blindly without seeing the Zabanya's front skirts detaching and becoming the scissor anchors.

"Never rush in too early!" Kale took the scissor anchors with both hands and started to spin around in a circle many times to pick up throwing speed for when he detached the scissor anchors from the Desphyas. As the anchors detached, Jane fired many shots and missiles towards the Crossbone Zabanya. Kale used the beam shields to block all the shots. "Will you give up now that you realize you can't have me?"

"NEVER!" Jane charged one last time while Kale sighed in annoyance and switched the beam shields into brand markers and stabbed them through the Desphyas' frame. Kale then took a beam zanber and cut the Desphyas in half across the waist. "You don't know what you've just done Kale."

"Really, and just what have I done?"

"You invoked a family curse."

"Do you really believe in that stuff?"

"It's guaranteed to kill you and her one day. I shall have my revenge on that day."

"Whatever." Kale took a GN Sword II and fired one shot at the upper torso of the Desphyas. "As long as I don't believe in curses, it won't come true." The rest of the 00 Trailblazers were busy mopping up team Meer Pleasure. Kaila got the upper hand on the Ahead through the same manner Tieria Erde caught the GN-XIII by surprise and slashed with a hidden beam saber. Darren landed multiple hits on the Airmaster with Agios Funnels and downed it with GN Cannons. Raymond finished the Slash ZAKU Phantom with GN Micro Missiles. The Nahel Argama, now without mobile suit support, took two volleys of fire from the Ptolemaios 2 Kai and the Gunpla from the 00 Trailblazers.

"Battle ended."


Finally, the battle with the past is over, but I still felt like something needed to be done… it doesn't matter though. Jane walked over to me and Monica and whispered in our ears, "I'll still be there when you don't expect it. Have fun going 'home'." She walked away and then I got massive shivers.

Monica said to me, "She is a freaking stalker."

"Yeah, that's the one thing I forgot to tell you about her."

Kaila and Raymond commented, "Well, that's over now right? Darren and Kale are no longer held back by their past."

Darren simply stated, "But I'm still held back by the fact that my other personality won't show up any more."

I replied. "Don't worry about him Darren. He's watching from inside of your head, even if you're unaware of it." Monica agreed and gestured that we all go home for the day.

Later at night, when we were sleeping together again, Monica asked me a random question. "Do you believe in curses?"

"What kind of question is that? I already addressed that in today's battle."

"But I really want to know what you think."

I couldn't believe she was really asking me this question. "Just go to sleep."


At BWI airport, flight 510 from the UK just arrived. As the passengers of flight 510 were getting off, a figure who looks very similar to Kale is getting up from his sleep and looks at the Gunpla in front of him. "Kale, when we fight again, I'll spurn you away from Gunpla indefinitely."


Kale: I never thought that I'd defeat a ghost of my past so easily.

Darren: Now you just have to deal with the brats of today.

Lyle & Anew: Don't worry, you'll do fine!

Kale: Next time, Gunpla Boot Camp?

Monica: This'll be fun!
