“Held back?” Hachiyama asked and Kai responded back. “Well, yeah. Guessing that’s your leader there, since he’s the only unique suit out of all ya and he can’t be the other merc. His Gunpla’s different and his piloting skill is just a whole lot worse than what I saw. You’d have to be a complete dumbass to mistaken the two. Your team uses the mostly the same Gunpla, it’s uncommon, ya know why? Because while it helps with consistency, it doesn’t allow the individuals on the team to grow on their own and weakens the team overall. The only team that uses the same Gunpla, is teams like SDR who are basically like one person in three bodies.” 

The Gunpla fighter lectured as the GN Vulcans simply disappeared before it even hit the XCEED, due to it’s special field and the damage on the hand of the Gunpla simply regenerated using it’s Nanomachines, though it didn’t heal any of it’s other battle damage as it could only heal from damage inflicted during the battle and not before it. 

“Kai, your full name ... is Kai Asakura right? As in the Asakura dojo right?” Hachiyama asked, to which Kai responded in a bit of irritation, which answered Hachiyama’s question. “In the Gunpla arena, I’m simply Kai, nothing more.” Though Kai simply listen to what Hachiyama had to say as the other Gunpla fighter activated Trans-Am attempting to slice him from behind, only for Kai to quickly turn around and block it with a raging orange beam saber from the arm of his Gunpla even with Trans-Am it wasn’t enough to overpower the cloaked Gunpla. 

“While I do admit ya have the spirit of a samurai, loyalty isn’t just about following your leader around, true loyalty is about having the strength to challenge them and set the back on the right path as much as having the strength to achieve their desires.” Particles started to weave around the XCEED as the hood of it’s cloak was pushed back as a tassel of energy extended from the back of his head and the orange beam blade grew in intensity and color turning a bright blue as the strength of the XCEED suddenly increased drastically and with a swing of it’s arm, it blew away the Crimson GN-X.

“Allow me to show ya the next level.” Kai challenged Hachiyama. The inner frame of the Turn-XCEED started to glow a bright Azure and the Cracks along it’s body gave out the same shine. “When Gunpla and fighter come together, they unleash a new power.” Particles danced along the surface of the Turn-XCEED at blinding speeds, making it seem as if it was surrounded by lightning. “This power is known as... Assimilation!” 

The Turn-XCEED revealed it’s other arm, it was mismatched and bulbous. The front of the arm opened up with five pseudo fingers as the center of the now open arm started charging particles, focusing it’s power into the ‘palm.’ The XCEED unleashed a powerful stream of azure energy, which streaked across the battlefield like a shooting star, completely decimated anything in it’s wake as it flew towards Hachiyama.
