“Anyone who wishes to step up for the entrance exam please step up. Look you know the drill just hurry it up.” The voice said as the field already started to materialize showing a mountainous region. What wasn’t shown however was a group of 6 GM Snipers hiding in the mountains waiting for the enemy to show. 
“Justin quietly stepped forward to the exam area, holding the customized Cherudim SAGA in hand.  “I guess I’m up now.” he said as he set both his Gunpla and his GP base.  Before the battle began, he took a moment to put the earbuds to his MP3 player in his ears and put on some music.  “There.” he said, “Now I’m ready.”  The moment the battle started, Justin took the time to use the Cherudim SAGA’s sensors to begin scanning for targets.  It was at that moment that the fire of the GM Snipers began to rain down on the dark-colored mech.  “Whoa!” Justin cried out as his Gunpla came under fire, “That’s just crazy!”  He took a moment to focus, then began calculating where the fire was coming from.  Quickly turning on the Holographic Sighting System of the Cherudim Saga, Justin took a moment before he pinpointed the direction where the fire was coming from.  Once he had located the source of the fire, Justin sprang into action, drawing the 90mm long rifle and beginning to open fire on the GM Snipers, putting aimed bursts into the mountainside in an attempt to suppress their fire so he could get in close enough for his GN Assault Carbine to be useful.  As he fired the bursts, he’d move the Cherudim SAGA from point of cover to point of cover, closing in on the mountainside as quickly as he could.  The moment he arrived at the mountainside, Justin had the Cherudim SAGA switch from 90mm long rifle to GN Assault Carbine, then went to work at systematically locating each GM Sniper.  Shots from the sniper rifles hit his armor, pinged off the shield on the shoulder, and kicked up dirt when they missed.  “Gotcha now.” Justin said softly as he lined up on the first GM Sniper, then opened up with the GN Assault Carbine, shredding it with the pulses of energy, before the next one fell in his sights and met the same fate.  Shots hit his suit’s armor as the remaining 4 GM Snipers began to focus in on his location.  Justin tapped some commands in, making the suit stow its Assault Carbine and draw the twin GN Submachine Guns.  “Time to close in.” he said softly.  75mm rounds, 90mm rounds, and beams rained down on the SAGA as Justin powered forward, opening fire with the twin SMGs, shredding one GM Sniper but not the other.  As he passed by, Justin spun the suit around and riddled the GM Sniper’s back with beam fire until a shot bounced off the armor protecting the GN Drive.  Without a word, Justin made his Gunpla stow its GN SMGs and charge forward at the first GM Sniper, drawing a GN Beam Saber at nearly the last moment and slicing it in half.  The other one kept firing until it was finally silenced by the same GN beam saber ripping into its chest.

While it was unaware a Tallgeese came up from behind its dober gun aimed and with a two shots clipped the SAGAs shoulder and waist unit. Before it charged forward its beam saber at the read set on ramming it through the suit. 

“Sunnuva!” Justin almost yelled as the twin dober gun shots clipped his suit’s shoulder and waist, “You have some nerve, buddy.”  Almost as quickly, his suit’s thrusters fired up, taking him up and over his foe while he fired the rear-mounted GN missiles out of the container on his suit’s back.  Once the missiles were away, Justin turned the suit to face his foe, drawing one GN SMG with the suit’s free hand and firing a storm of beams.

Using the shield to block the incoming beam shots it swapped its beam saber once more for the dober gun releasing three more precision shots at the units head. Not blinking as it dodged the missiles aimed at it with a ease of grace that was hard to find.  

Justin barely had time to react as the trio of shots flew at his suit’s head.  A quick command mere moments before impact and the GN field emitter in the small shield on his suit’s shoulder flared to life, creating a field that stopped the three shots cold.  “Not gonna bring me down that easy.” Justin said with grim determination over an open comm, “You’re gonna have to work hard for that.”  The GN Submachine Gun came up and fired again, this time as Justin began to strafe to the side in order to throw off his foe’s aim.

Keeping with the shield up it aimed up towards the mountains rather than the suit itself and watched as the boulders fell down on top of the SAGA due to the shots not taking any chances it than kept up its fire at the SAGA as it was forced to dodge the rocks it had one choice now dodge the rocks and take the hits or block the hits and take damage from the resulting landslide. 

As his suit’s sensors warned him of both the landslide and enemy fire, Justin knew he had to react quickly.  The Cherudim Saga moved away from the landslide as the fire from the dober gun started to impact on its armor.  Justin grit his teeth as he had the Cherudim SAGA then fire off a volley of GN missiles from the missile pods in the front of its armor, several aimed to strike at the dober gun from the side in order to render it useless.

Dodging to the side the shield once more took the hits while it used it to block the incoming fire the beam saber once more found a way into its hand as the tip of the blade found purchase in the gn shield on the SAGA rendering it and the shoulder useless. Before following it up with another downward swing leaving it with little to no options but to dodge.

Justin felt a fury rising up within his psyche, one that he had never felt before.  This machine, this SIMULATED pilot was getting the better of him.  He tamped down the feeling as best as he could, then moved his damaged Gunpla to dodge the swing.  Almost as if he were a machine, the damaged Cherudim SAGA slammed it’s own GN beam saber into the shoulder of the Tallgeese, then kicked the opposing machine away.

As if embodying the ideal of the perfect soldier it left little to chance as it holstered up the dober gun watching as the barrel landed once more on the ruined arm of the saga and loose a solid beam of energy rather than the shots it was taking before. After words to follow it up using the dober gun as a club it swung it at the SAGA’s head landing a solid blow before starting its barrage of shots once more. 

The impact knocked Justin around in his simulated cockpit, opening up a gash on his left cheek.  As a bit of blood flowed from the wound, Justin’s eyes narrowed in barely-restrained fury.  “Trans-AM!!” he roared as the SAGA’s GN Drive powered up, the particles flowing around it giving it a pinkish-reddish hue.  The SAGA’s GN Beam saber blade slammed into the barrel of the dober gun, cutting it off completely as Justin began to press the attack.  The beam saber flashed several times, the first strike slicing off his foes left arm, the second taking the right, the third taking the head of the machine.  Justin then stowed the beam saber and drew the Type D II heat sword, its blade superheating as he stabbed the sword through the cockpit of the Tallgeese in a finishing strike.

“Battle ended.” the announcer called, “Winner: Justin Acelin.”  Justin took several deep breaths as he collected his Cherudim Saga, noting the damage to the head and shoulder.  He had the spare parts to fix both, so he’d do so once he had the chance.  A medic ran up and began working on cleaning up and bandaging the wound on his left cheek.  “They seriously upped the damage from C to A in that fight.” Justin said softly as he looked over the remains of the 6 GM Snipers and the Tallgeese, “No wonder I got hurt.  But it looks like I still managed to pull through.  Hopefully that was enough to allow me to pass.”  After the medic finished, he headed back to the group.
