As participants began to choose where they’d fight, some decided to move to have a view of the competition while some moved to specifically avoid the competition, Riku specifically. With Riku on the western battlefield, many of the weaker contestants thought to hide in the east. And those hungry for points followed them. Soon all participants were in place, with most grouping up around the eastern mountains or above the southern ocean, and the battle commenced. 

With Blade moving to the south side, Naoki followed in hopes of seeing him in action taking a position to Blades left. On Blades other side Naoki sees a teenage girl (Hanako), glaring out the corner of her eye at Blade. Seems like Blade had made enemies here already, not that he could judge having a whole gunpla club go after him for some reason at the start of all this. Past her was the Shark, seemed like he was going to be in the south as well.

“All participants, please dock and prepare for launch. In 15 … 14 … 13 ...”

As the countdown continued, everyone around the table began to get ready.

Immediately entering the ocean area, all that where there were assaulted by the Wing Zero Gundams long range double buster rifles, dancing in the air as he fired blasts and signifying his presence and location to the other 3 battlers. 

Hanako dodged and weaved around the cannon's blasts as her eyes were trained on Blade. “Unlike my brothers, I excel in the air!!!!” She yelled over the comms as she blasted forward, charging at Blade with unreal speeds for an Astray before she strikes at him with her beam saber, ready to parry any attack he countered with using her shield.

Naoki meanwhile flew low before diving underwater, knowing full well that despite the nanolaminate armor of his Graze he would still receive heavy damage from those buster rifles. As he cruised underwater he viewed the battle above while eying the now mountain standing Jun.

In the mountainous East, all three contestants seemed to have the same idea of using the map's naturally mountainous area to hide behind and assess the situation. All three fighters forgoed immediate fighting in order to get more advantageous positions. 

Although not directly between the two, Kai sat with enemies both to his left and right. 

Hamada, a college student piloting a gold Buster Gundam, sat to the north as he tried to get a lock on the other battlers energy radars. Slowly realizing that all three had hid outside of their radar's reach, Hamada changed plans, he sat in a small valley as he positioned his cannon upwards, firing mortar shots all around the mountains at the other 2.

The other pilot, Kishimodo, a young woman piloting a straight-built victory Gundam who was hiding closer to the coastline wasn’t confident with her plan. Hiding during the first round and not really understanding what was now happening in the second, she hid as she saw the other 2 do the same. Now as the buster gundam bombarded the area she panicked and began firing rapidly in the direction of both Kai and Hamada in hopes that one would hit.

In the East, Riku stood in solidarity as he stared out into the mountains that contained the rest of the battlefield. The valley was quiet and uninteresting as only Rikus Metal Angel stood. As time ticked on, a reflective light could be seen shining from cave entrances in the mountains before disappearing, reappearing at different cave entrances every so often. Rikus' instincts had immediately told him what was happening. He was being scoped out.
