DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GUNDAM

CHAPTER THREE

"TEAM XROSS BUILDERS"

As I entered the battlefield, I could not help but look at my surroundings. It was quiet with not much in sight only the entry point I came from and a few asteroids and planets in-front of me. I kept my guard up just in-case a surprise attack came my way. I made sure not rush recklessly looking for Yuki, I move at a normal pace but making sure to look up and down, left and right frequently. Nothing came up on my radar yet so I was beginning to think that he may be hiding in a vantage point waiting to get a spring on me. When I foolishly started to drop my guard down ever so slightly my radar picked up a signal but before I had a chance to inspect what it was, a beam came towards me. Being that my gunpla was not equipped with a shield the only option I had if I wanted to reduce the damage I was going to receive was try to protect myself with my beam saber. I hastily pulled out my beam saber and barely managed to repel the beam. I boosted backwards to try to gain some distance so I can recover. As I did so the F91 colored Victory Gundam began to boost towards me. I pulled out my SigMaxiss rifle and fired at him hoping to at the very least force him to defend so I can gain more distance. To my astonishment he continued to pursue me neglecting to acknowledge the shot I fired at him. I only managed to graze the left side of the Victory's chest before he managed to close the gap between me and him. I was beside myself how could he treat his gunpla in such a manner. Before I could launch a counterattack he launched his feet at me. On impact with myself it exploded and before I had a chance to recover he used his beam saber to cut my rifle into pieces rendering it useless. I boosted backwards, trying to gain some distance between us once again. He continued to pursue me so I decided to pull out my beam saber and boost towards him recklessly. A fatal mistake for he launched the upper part of his body at me which on impact exploded. Quickly just after he boosted towards me only a core fighter ramming through me with his mounted beam sabers. The second I was hit by that attack I knew that I lost.

"BATTLE ENDED." The system said.

The program deactivated itself and I was at a lost of words over what just happened.

"So this is Gunpla Battle, huh." Yuki said.

"I think this will be a perfect way to kill time for awhile."

I heard the sound of clapping after Yuki spoke. It was from the kind older gentleman.

"That was a great battle you two. But you there young man the one who just started Gunpla Battle. You can not treat your gunpla the one you built yourself in such a way. It is unacceptable." The gentleman said.

Yuki shrugged off what the gentleman said he didn't appear to care much to take into consideration what the kind gentleman was telling him. He begun to leave he gestured to me to follow him. I bowed to the kind gentleman before following him. We exited the shop and was heading home when Yuki stop and told me had somewhere he had to go alone, I asked him if he knew how to get back home which he said he did before parting ways with me. I continued on my way home when I felt my cell vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out to see if it was Yuki texting me. To my surprise it wasn't Yuki but still a familiar name. The person who was texting me told me to meet them immediately at the Side 7 Park. Luckily I was nearby that park anyways so I sent Yuki a quick text that I also had business to take care of before heading there. It took me about five minutes to get there. I looked around for the person I was suppose to meet up with.

"There you are, looks like I didn't have to wait too long after all." A familiar voice said.

I turned towards the direction I heard the voice coming from. It was a young woman, looked to be about my age. The voice I recognized to be my cousin Okina Shogo but her appearance was vastly different than I remember but than again the last time was saw each other was when we were both twelve. Her skin tone was slightly lighter than my own. She had light brown color eyes and obviously wore lip gloss. Her hair was brown and her bangs were clipped to the left side of her head, aside from two locks that fall freely on both her left and right. She also tied her hair into two tight buns on the back of her head, with several loose strands flying out. Both buns were are connected by a blue and white tiara-like hair clip. She had on a white tank top with navy blue slim jeans. She had on a pair of brand-less sports sneakers.

"Is there any reason your practically staring at me?" She asked.

"Oh sorry you really changed since I last saw you." I said.

"Of course I did silly, it has been twelve years since we last saw each other."

"So auntie tells me that Yuki was coming here, is that true?"

"Yeah he actually came today."

"Is that so than why isn't he with you?"

"After we left Plamo Crafts and was heading home, he stopped me and said he had to go somewhere alone."

"Plamo Crafts, are you telling me he gunpla battles?"

"I actually introduced it to him, we had our first battle a little while ago he actually beat me."

She giggled a little after I said that.

"You actually lost that's cute. You should have called me I would have proved to be a better opponent than you for a very first battle. After all ever since we were kids I always bested you."

I couldn't help but get a little annoyed by that remark. But it was true no matter how hard I tried back when we were kids I could never beat her in a Gunpla battle.

"Well anyways the real reason I texted you to come over here was to ask you a question." She said.

"What is it?"

"Are you by any chance inspiring to take part in the Xmas League this year?"

The Xmas League now that she mentions reminds me it is actually at the end of this year. The Xmas League is a worldwide championship held in the Unicorn Grand Stadium on Christmas, only the best of the best take part in it. It is team based which means three people versus three other people. There is qualifiers that every team that wants to even have a chance to enter would have to pass held at each season. With the first one the spring qualifier coming in two weeks. I never tried to even enter the qualifiers for I could never find anyone who wanted form a team with me.

"I would like to but I can never find a team."

"Good, than you will join mines than."

"W-what Okina you can't just decide that by yourself you didn't even ask me."

"Fine do you want to be in my team or not?"

"I guess so. Who is the other team member?"

"Well we don't have one but I bet I can coerce Yuki to join us."

"You have never met him yet you believe he would join a gunpla battling team when he just started gunpla today as a time killer."

"And what is the best way to kill time than tournaments?"

"I am not all that confident Yuki will agree to this, I was kinda reluctant myself on agreeing.

She started smirking after I said that.

"Look Kaito just text Yuki to meet me at the public battlegrounds at this park, send him the address of this place just in-case. I got a plan."

I did what I was told before I followed her to the public battlegrounds. It took us about two minutes to walk there, like Plamo Crafts the public battlegrounds had 3D Image Projectors suited for gunpla battling as it was a bit late into the day there wasn't that many people there and there was a few free spots for one on one battles.

We waited about twenty minutes, there was no response to the text I sent Yuki, so I had doubts that he was even going to come anytime soon. Just as I thought that I spotted Yuki coming from the rear entrance, I called out his name so he knew where I was. He came over he took a quick look at Okina before turning his attention to me.

"So what is it you wanted? Your lucky I finished my business when you texted me." He said.

"Um well actually the young lady standing next to me her actually wanted to ask you something."

"So your Yuki, For being a mixed I thought you would look plain, but to my astonishment your not." Okina said.

"Who the hell are you suppose to be and what business do you have with me?"

"Oh yes I am Okina Shogo, I am Kaito's cousin which makes me your second degree cousin I believe." I wanted to know if you wanted to join my gunpla battle team."

"Is this all you people in Japan care about, why would I want to do something like that I only started to play gunpla battle so I can kill time. I don't have any intention to take this thing seriously."

"Is that how you feel about it, than how about this if I beat you in a gunpla battle you have to join my team. If I lose I will be your servant for a day."

"Very well than, just remember you are the one asking for this and by the way I decided to change what happens if I win. If I win you and Kaito will never again ask me to do anything concerning Gunpla again I will only do something when I feel like it."

I looked at Okina and was surprised to see the determination in her eyes. She smiled before saying.

"I'll agree to those terms. So let's Gunpla Battle."

I followed Okina and Yuki to one of the free spots where they could battle so I could watch it. They both took out their gunplas and GP bases.

The 3D Image projector started up. The computerized voice begun to speak.

"SET YOUR GP BASE."

Which Okina and Yuki both did.

"BEGINNING PLASKY PARTICLES DISPERSAL."

"MODEL DAMAGE SET TO B."

"FIELD 05: CITY."

I watched as they begun their launching preparations.

"Yuki Nakashima, Victory Gundam Launching."

"Okina Shogo, Gundam Zephyranthes Full Armor Launching!"

They both exited there respective entry spots. Obviously Yuki's gunpla hasn't changed at all since Plamo Crafts it was still the F91 colored Victory Gundam. While Okina's gunpla on the other hand was a Gundam Zephyranthes with full armor parts equipped to it. It wasn't hardly a three minutes into the fight and it was over I couldn't believe my eyes. All I know for certain was that Okina won and Yuki lost.

"Ok you lost Yuki soo..Welcome to Team Xross Builders!" She yelled.
