Koga Kyo continued to rise as her funnels began to lose power, finishing their job and causing the mass cave-in. Before she could look away however the Metal Angel began to glow, its shoulders and hands shining especially bright. Before she could comment, the Metal Angel began to charge upwards towards the Mansa. Koga stayed calm as her funnels returned to her. Even if he had gotten a boost, he was coming at her for melee combat still meaning she just needed to gain distance until her funnels recharged. She just needed to keep moving up and away from him. She just needed another 2 or 3 funnel shots to destroy him! 

But sadly before she could fully pull away from the cavern, a blast had hit her gunplas remaining shoulder binder, causing it to stop and fall down. “What?!” She asked, but before she could turn her gunpla sheaf around to see her would-be assailant (Kai), she felt the frame of her gunpla jerk backwards from an uppercut.

 "You won't get away from ME!" She heard as her Queen Mansa began to take a repeated flurry of strikes, her remaining binder and armor beginning to be ripped off her gunpla. Koga Kyos Queen Mansa tried to push the close range fighter away, but before she could create distance, the Metal Angel grabbed her gunpla arm before pulling her into a bear hug. "Even if I have to drag you down with me!" 

The two gunpla began to plummet into the cavern once more, the rumble falling around them as the Metal Angels God Hand Mode times out, leaving the gunpla without energy. Koga sighed as she realized that without her binders she wouldn’t have the thrust to escape. As the two of them crashed to the ground, Koga sighed before smirking, “I guess even now, regionals are to far away.” She resigned as both of their terminals turned red. 

The battle was over with both Koga Kyo, locals veteran, and Kusaka Riku, top of the leader board, being eliminated. 

As the red holograms around Riku slowly disappeared, Naoki approached him, having been watching the fight with the other spectators. He said as Riku retrieving his gunpla from the table. “Kusaka Riku right? My names Yukihiro Naoki and I’d like to talk with you, if you don’t mind that is.” With an extended hand.

With the quick transformation and attack from Blade and the Wing Zero, Kai barely manages to dodge the twin buster rifle, the distance advantage working in Kais favor as it gave him room to dodge. Now re-aiming the Taisens machine gun, Kai could see the Captain Miracles reappearance as it seemed to be making a B line for the Wing Zero. 

Blade for his part didn’t need the Zero Systems future sight to see the approaching blue blur in his peripherals. Turning around he almost didn’t have the time to block with his shield, narrowly avoiding a lethal blow but completely destroying the Wing Zeros prime form of defense. Now that the two where in close range the Miracle fires a shot at the Wing Zeros head, who was able to dodge with an graze to the side of the head, Destroying the Wing Zeros left head Vulcan. 

With Juns opening attack being mostly a success, destroying a shield and damaging but sadly not destroying the head, Jun had become the center of attention on the battlefield of 3. 

Of the three of them the Wing Zero was the most damaged, having suffered damage from Hanakos last attack along with his destroyed shield made him the most vulnerable. Next was the Captain Miracle as it had lost a shoulder plate and sustained light damage from his fight with Naoki. Lastly Taisen, the modified red zaku, has taken the least damage as he’d been able to use strategy mostly in his former battles, although out of the three he had been fighting the longest and had been flying at a high altitude for awhile now. With his energy reserves now hitting 30%, If he didn’t descend or end this battle quickly he’d run out before the end of the round. 

Although unknown to the three of them, with 4 minutes left on the timer, the crowd was ecstatic at the fight, knowing that with how the scores currently where it was still anyone’s game.
