The shop owner was hopping people would be noticing it and asking about it, cause recently people coming from the labs to buy and build stuff were talking more about how to defeat a certain person and claiming him to be a cheat for someone so young to beat so many others, or that he could be like a psychic.  Whatever the reason, he felt they were focusing less on the reason for Gunpla, which was to have fun.  That's when he remembered to let his customers know: "Just a reminder everyone, we have our battle system up and running in the other room for those who want to test their models they're working on here or just want to have some fun."


Back at the labs, one person was about to hopefully re-learn that lesson.  Walking in the courtyard, Alex was following Kasumi (who were both being followed by someone who saw them earlier from a distance) heading for what looked like a small building somewhere in the courtyard.  There were no people around it or in it when they entered.  The building was filled with plants and tons of greens.

Alex was a bit curious asking: "What is this?  A greenhouse?  Why'd you bring me here?"

Kasumi places a hand on some greens and answers: "For this."  She moves them to reveal a Battle System right there, and the power was on.

David: "What?  A system here?"

Kasumi: "I found it when i was wondering around.  I believe no one else came in here, cause i usually see it covered."  Then she does something that was catching Alex off guard, she was starting to undress.

Alex was shocked and red in the face as he starts to look away: "NO!  WAIT!  DON'T DO THAT HERE!"

But a few seconds later she told him: "You can look now."

Alex hesitated: "But you're... *he sees her now fully in a Kimono*  Wait... how'd you do that so fast?"

Kasumi answers: "Years of practice.  So... are you ready?"

Alex got a bit confused by the question: "Ready for what?" She steps behind the system and pulls out her GP base and Alex replied: "A Gunpla battle?  But i thought the systems were not ready for player battles."

Kasumi: "In the main building yes, but this one is still fully ready.  It's time to see if we can find the answer you seek."

Alex wasn't sure: "I don't know about this... i mean, we still needed..."

She immediately claims: "So you rather just run away then stand and fight?!

Alex was caught off guard by her claim: "I... ...."  The look in her eyes was one of a fierce warriors, she really meant buisness.  The kind of fighters he faced before that would give him the battles to remember, thus he stood his ground, clenched his fist and replied: "... I'm not running.  Not this time."

She smiles as the system starts to whirl up and the system announces: "GUNPLA BATTLE, COMBAT MODE, START UP! MODEL LEVEL DAMAGE SET TO C. PLEASE SET YOUR GP BASE."

Both bases were place in their spot, info pops up on each of them as the system continues: "BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL."

The particles began whirling up and lay down a field for the battle to take place.  With a bright flash, the field, a sort of castle ruins from the Feudal era, was formed with a storm brewing: "FIELD 7, RUINS."

The particles form around the fighters and Alex takes out his Star AGE Gundam: "Alright buddy... here we go again."

System: "PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA."

Alex sets down his Gunpla, the system scans it, and the head of it rises up and lights up along with the suits AGE system.  With controls forming at Alex's hands, the catapult forms as the system announces: "BATTLE START!"

Alex got the green light: "Alex Taylor!  Star AGE Gundam!  LET'S GO!"

With that, his suit was launched and headed into battle.
