DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GUNDAM

CHAPTER TWO

"MODELING AND FATE"

After what felt like fifteen minutes of walking me and Yuki finally made it to Plamo Crafts. Befitting a gunpla hobby store, it was filled to the brim with gunplas of all grades. I gestured for Yuki to follow me inside, there seemed to be a few kids doing some sort of fun tournament amongst themselves. I turned my attention to the shop owner while I let Yuki browse around. The shop keeper was a young woman obviously in her early twenties. I didn't know her that well because I don't actually come to this shop much. I gave her a quick hello before I went to look for Yuki. I found him browsing through the High Grade section of the shop, which are line of Gunpla in smaller scales. The kits come in 1/144 or 1/100 scale, and they provide for a fair range of motion and great pose-ability. A great line for a beginner like Yuki to start with. I saw him looking intensely at at a shelf that contained kits for: the Victory Gundam, F91 Gundam, Crossbone Gundam X-1, S Gundam, ν Gundam, ZZ Gundam, and Unicorn Gundam.

"Hey Yuki see any that catch your eye yet?" I asked him.

"Actually this one in the middle seems interesting."

I looked at the one that he was talking about and it was the High Grade kit for the Victory Gundam.

"So is this the one you want Yuki?"

"Might as well be give me some money so I can buy it already."

"Fine fine. You can at least say please you know."

"Just give me the money already Kaito."

I handed him the money needed for the kit and waited for him to return with it.

"Alright Yuki, inside you will find the parts needed to build the gunpla and an instruction manual. But don't worry I will assist you with anything you need help with. By the way you can borrow my tools for now I brought them with me but your going to have to get your own set."

"When did I agreed to getting into gunpla, I only said I will build one and battle you to see if it was interesting."

"Fine, just get to it already so I can help you."

I handed Yuki my tool set which he put to the side of the small table he took to build the model on. As he was taking out the instruction manual from the kit, I hear a loud commotion happening at the front door of the shop. I decide to quickly check what it could be and I saw a rather large group crowding the front door. I can hear kids say "is it him is it really him?" I wasn't sure who they could be talking about but considering the crowd it must have been someone important. I decided to return back to Yuki to see if he needed my help yet when I heard a voice.

"Young man, what brings you to this shop?"

I wasn't sure who he was talking to I looked around a bit until I realized the person was talking to me. I turned my attention to the person who apparently was addressing me. He was an older man perhaps in his early to mid thirties. He had on a silver mask that only covered his eyes. His skin color was slightly darker than my own and he looked to be the same height as Yuki or maybe slightly taller. His brown hair was tied into a ponytail and his bangs were swept away from his face. He had on a white dress shirt with a navy blue vest over it. He had white cotton pants on as well. The outfit also had a black nylon webbing belt with a silver belt buckle with an insignia of an M on it. He was wearing white cotton gloves as well. He had on black boots that reached to his knees. Lastly over the vest he had on a navy blue jacket that tails lined in a red charmeuse. The cuffs and collar were black and the shoulders were gold with matching gold tassels as well. The jacket had a white diamond in the front of it and he had on a white ascot to complete the outfit.

"Um..are you speaking to me sir?"

"Yes I am young man. I ask you again what brings you to this shop?"

"Well I brought my brother to introduce him to gunpla and gunpla battling."

"Is that so at such an age. I must meet this brother of yours."

I headed back to Yuki with the man following me. Yuki didn't appear to be that far into his model but it doesn't seem like he was having any trouble so far. I took a seat next to him while the man took one on the other side of the table.

"Who is this Kaito, a friend of yours?" Yuki asked.

"Actually no I just met him to be honest he said he wanted to meet you."

"Is that so, what is it you want with me?"

"Your brother tells me that you are just getting into gunpla I take it that kit you are building is your very first one?"

"You are correct about that is that all you wanted me for?"

"Actually I offer my aid to you."

"Fine if I need your help or Kaito's help I will ask for it now let me finish this model already."

After what felt like three hours, it felt like it was now the middle of the day when Yuki finally finished his model with guidance from me and the friendly man.

It was a customized build with panel lining, detailed decals, and paint. Yuki seem to have use a different color scheme on the Victory gundam than the default one.

"Hey Yuki how did you come up with that color scheme?" I asked him.

"I just copied the colors found on a box over on the shelf I found this kit from.

"Which one was it exactly?"

"If I remember correctly its name was the F91 Gundam."

I went to go check the kit and the color scheme that Yuki painted the Victory gundam did match that of the F91 gundam.

"Where did you get those exact colors from anyways?"

"I asked the shop owner, apparently she used to be a professional painter or something."

"Anyways I finished making this gunpla thing so now we can have this gunpla battle thing and get it over with already right?"

"We certainly can the 3D image projectors are over there but I don't have a GP base for you without it you can't register your name, gunpla, and operator."

When we were trying to figure out what to do next the friendly man let out an ahem before pulling out a GP base out of his pocket.

"Here I happened to have a spare GP base on me as a welcome present to the gunpla world I will give it to you young man."

After Yuki received the GP base from the friendly man I lead him to the hexagonal table like 3d image projectors were gunpla battles are held in the shop. I gestured for Yuki to stand on the opposite side of the table as me and I noticed the friendly man followed us to watch our battle I guessed. I pulled out my gunpla from the box I was carrying it in. I recalled how I was interrupted by Yuki's arrival before I could finished it the way I wanted to. But it was still a customized build with panel lining, detailed decals, and paint. My gunpla is a Gundam Age 3 Normal painted in the color scheme of the Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai ''Skullheart''. With the white skulls in the same places where the Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai ''Skullheart''s would be found.

"Ok Yuki Just follow what I do until the battle has started and don't worry I will go easy on you." I said.

"If we are going to do this we are going to do this right. Don't you dare hold back on me give me everything you got."

When I booted up the simulator on the 3D image projector a computerized voice started to speak.

"SET YOUR GP BASE."

Which me and Yuki both did.

"BEGINNING PLASKY PARTICLES DISPERSAL."

"MODEL DAMAGE SET TO B."

"FIELD 01: SPACE."

I gestured for Yuki to do what I do next.

"Kaito Nakashima, Gundam Age 3 Launching!"

"Yuki Nakashima, Victory Gundam Launching."
