The sounds of footsteps signaled defeat in Seos heart, and as he tried to jiggle the wings of his Alvaaron one more time the only thing he got in response was a public channel opening up, the voice behind it familiar, "Checkmate, Seo. Sayonara." And with that, red replaced blue and the word TERMINATED appeared in block letters. And all he could do was seeth at the thought of a platinum haired teen. [hr] [@Double][@Blade17] At the destruction of the Alvaaron, within the span of a minute, chaos ensued at a single area of the map, the east canyon entrance. With the bright pink explosion caused by destroying the Royal Alvaaron and the high speed flying of the Wing Gundam, all eyes in the desert could see that there was action happening in one spot, and with only 3 minutes left in the round anybody without points would have nothing little to lose. And that especially ran true for a lone purple Astray unit piloted by one Hanako Yui, the oldest of the Yui triplets. At the beginning of this tournament she had joined only to support her two idiotic brothers in their endeavors of gaining a locals win, what she didn’t sign up for was for her brothers to go aggro at the sight of the first threat on they see!! Worst of all, because they were fighting over who would get the kill they just rushed in without her!! So now here Hanako was, Astray prone in the middle of the desert, covered in sand in order to camouflage the gunpla. She trained her long barrel sniper rifle at the entrance of the gate as she saw the wing gundam descend and began firing, hoping to shoot either the one who destroyed her brothers or to shoot the ones already there. Within the Canyon, a lone Gunpla waited. Ever since the 2 Astrays entered battle with the wing, Nishiyama realized that either one group or the other would exhaust their energy and that they'd be easy pickings if he timed this ambush right. So he waited, deep within the canyon as his brown OZ-12SMS Taurus slowly and quietly moved further and further down. Eventually, however, his perfect moment would come, as the Wing descended and provided not 1 but 2 targets for him in the form of a Leo. Hiding around the corner and moving slowly with his energy output at almost 2% basically, Nishiyama waited for his chance. And that chance came when both pilots were interrupted by outside fire coming from the desert. He turned the corner and let loose a barrage of gunfire. Now the Wing and the Leo are cornered within the walls of the canyon, gunfire raining at them from both sides, and a timer with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left. [hr] [@KenjuGuy][@Shiyonichi] Over at Table A, a similar situation was happening. With the explosion caused by Kai's stunt along with the explosion of Hachiyamas MS, the scattered fighters throughout the battlefield understood where the most action was. Naoki, in his ground pursuit of the GN-Xs, realizes that without his back thrusters he wouldn’t have the speed to catch up to the two and quit his pursuit. [color=6ecff6]“Damn, didn’t know Hachiyama had it in him. What a guy.”[/color] He thought, looking over the damages to his gunpla. [color=6ecff6]“Good thing I replaced the graze's arms with a leos, the graze would’ve never survived otherwise.”[/color] He said before he pressed a few buttons, prompting the damaged left arm of the graze to detach itself and fall to the ground, along with its ax. [color=6ecff6]“With how damaged it was it’ll only be dead weight for now.” [/color] He looked at the timer. 3 minutes left. He wanted to look at the battle between the Shark and Reaper but was immediately interrupted by an eruption from far out inland. A distant explosion of pink smoke and the silhouette of a fast-approaching Gunpla alerted him. Where the two escaping GN-X were heading now stood a charging Destiny Gundam, its two anti-ship blades at its side. The Destiny Gundam danced around the air for a moment before making a B line for the center of the arena where the shore and ocean met and Naoki smiled, ready to defend himself from the upcoming challenge he was about to face, only for the gunpla to gain altitude above them, and deploy its High-Energy Long-Range Beam Cannon and Beam Rifle. Naoki watched confused at its stop before realizing what it was going for. Only 1 minute and 20 seconds were left, and they were to far to engage in combat with. The gunpla unleashed the last of its energy reserves and fired at the two gunpla in the middle of the stage, launching a barrage of lasers at the two in hopes of a last-minute kill.
