“There you are! Get over here.” Blade said through the public channels as he thrusted his own beam saber forward. Beam saber clashed with beam saber, releasing a shockwave and giving Blade the opportunity to kick the other fighter away. As the lone Astray pilot floated there he looked up at the flying angel, Blade began to taunt. “That was your brother? Interesting, didn’t even know what hit him.” The wing zero then points his beam saber at him. ”You think your a match for me and wing zero? Come on then!”

“Y-you insult my brother then insult my skills!! You won’t get away with this!!! I’ll show you the skill of the man who’ll destroy the Yellow Jacket!!” Falling for Blade's taunt, the Gunpla Fighter switched the beam saber to his left hand and unsheathed a katana like blade. He charged forward one last time with its two sabers, slashing and stabbing furiously as he approached.

As Seiichi entered the canyon he was immediately greeted with explosions, but not from him but around him. The rumbling disoriented his machine and caused the leader of Zenshin High to lose control, crashing to the ground as the rumble around him began to pile around and pin down the Royal Alvaaron. As the rocks began to surround the camera of the alvaaron, the last thing Seo sees is the back of a Leo unit. With a single act of defiance before he lost complete visual be tried to fire his beam rifle, only to fire into the side of the canyon at the realization that his arms were already crushed.

“Dammit, I’m pinned. But my gunpla still works! If I can just position the beam cannon properly I ca-” He started until he saw the power levels of his gunpla. 14%, now 13%. After flying at high altitude during the beginning for a solid 12 minutes and firing non-stop at the GM, his energy was on the low side. Looking at the round's timer, there were only around 5 minutes left. 

Things were not looking good for Seo. He was trapped with almost no power and if he used what little power he did have left he’d be defenseless, with an unmoving machine. He laid at the beginning of a canyon, open to anyone who wandered the open desert or those exiting the canyon. He was in a bad spot and if he tried to escape he’d just become a more visible target. He began to power down the Alvaaron in an attempt to hide, seeing it as his last choice. His opponent had taken his prey and points, taken his pride in the ambush, taken his freedom in the rumble, this damn Leo had taken everything short of his life in this game!! 

“If I survive this I’m gonna destroy you, LEO!!!” He yelled at no one as the gunpla remained under a pile of dirt, only a hand sticking out.

Far off into the canyon, Riku’s radar shows the Alvaarons signal powering down, and that combined with flying farther away into the canyon has made the signal diminish to nothing. As he continues to fly, not 100% clear on Seo’s fate, the Leo's long range camera catches a glimpse of two gunpla sword fighting in the sky, far ahead and high in the air above the canyon.

As Naoki charged at the escaping GN-X, he launched a barrage of fire with his machine gun doing damage to the one being carried. He quickly began to catch up to the trio and once closer he threw away his machine gun, unsheathing the axe at his hip. Unknown to Naoki, Kai had launched a bazooka missile at the trio and in tandem now Naoki. 

Seeing this opportunity, and the situation they were in, Hachiyama made a decision. He struck the arms of his allies GN-Xs with his own, then put full power into his thrusters. “Kobayashi, Tanaka, RUUUNN!!” He yelled as the red GN-X tackled Naoki and his Graze before charging into the missile, using Naoki as a shield.

With their close proximity, even while grappling, Naoki had control over his jetpack and angled it so now both would be hit by the missile. The explosion caused a large smokescreen of black and now pink smoke (Signifying a suit's destruction) around the two. 

Watching the scene the other 2 GN-Xs watched before taking their allies sacrifice to heart and leaving. “We need to survive, Or else we can’t help Seo next round.” He said as he observed the round's timer. 4 minutes left. “We just need to survive!!”

[color=6ecff6]“I won’t let you!!”[/color] A voice yelled through the public channel to interrupt him. Out of the smokescreen of the blast, Naoki and the graze, now severely damaged and missing its jet back from the blast, free runs forward with it’s axe and the GN-Xs GN Rifle in hands. 

The two GN-X runs full blast away as they are chased by the newly armed Graze.

With the two semi famous combatants, Kai’s explosion causes a small pause in combat as the Origin Zaku gains both distance and altitude on Captain Miracle. The explosion disorients Jun for a moment but he immediately regains control, camera trained on the now floating Zaku.

Outside of battle, the crowd watches them staredown with excitement. Earlier during the Zakus entrance people had noted the similarity to Chars entrance, and now, as an energetic and powerful Gundam and the all red Zaku fought, people again brought up the similarity. It was as if they were seeing a recreation from the Universal Century; the crowd around Table B began to grow louder at the stand-off as they watched. That combined with the fact that they were 2 were semi-famous made the battle all the more remarkable.

Contrasting to the crowd's excitement, in the back of the arcade stood a stranger in a hoodie, inhaling in annoyance as he watched over both tables. Things … were not going as planned.
