[u][b]Seo POV[/b][/u] [@KenjuGuy] As I tried to gain my bearings, readjusting my boosters now that I had lost my leg, the blue shark turned red as it completely disappeared when I blinked. Where did it go?! I turned both the Alvaarons and Alvatores cameras as I tried to scan the battlefield of where he had run off to. Did he run now that he was damaged? Hmph what a- Instantly, before finishing that thought, an explosion and an alert told me of the Alvatores destruction, “I like your confidence Seo, it reminds me of myself, but the difference is that I can back it up! Tell me, can you keep up with this!?” As I looked down I was met with a spinning mech and blade rushing straight up towards me. I try to use the wings of the Alvaaron to block only for the wing to be cut off, a final slash cutting through my Royal Alvaarons chest as the hologram around me turned from blue to red. “No no NO! THIS WASN”T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO!!” I screamed in despair as a loud ringing sound entered the arena. “MATCH OVER, WINNERS …” [hr] [u][b]Hachiyama POV[/b][/u] [@Shiyonichi] As I flew backwards from Kais next palm strike, the right should came loose and completely fell off of my gunpla as I tried to direct my boszters to slow me down. To think I couldn’t even touch the damn thing. Was this the power of that gunpla? Or was this truly the power of “Assimilation”? As my energy reserves finally ran out, my gunpla became limp and still as the enemy charged forward with its final attack. With no options left I resigned myself to the end. Kai started charging a ball of particles I could only watch. To fight without a controller. To fight as if your gunpla is truly your body. I wonder … if I can do that one day… The Turn-XCEED dashed forward and ended the battle, disintegrating what was left of the Ruby GN-Xs chest as the holograms around me turned from blue to the familiar red. “MATCH OVER, WINNERS …” [hr] [u][b]Takemori POV[/b][/u] [@Blade17][@Renny][@Double] I watched as the Wave Motion Cannon of the Yamato continued to charge, the ship's angle moving slightly as it tracked Naoki's movements from afar. To think Naoki would use plan M in a situation like this! My eyes shifted to Riku as the Hyaku Shiki stabbed forward and absorbed the entirety of Kobayashi's GN curtain, The particles being absorbed into the blade just as Yuna said before letting out the particles and slashing down at the Blue GN-X with the blade shining flash signature attack, as Yuna put it. The Izanagi, to think Riku had something this advanced. Guess I underestimated him. As Riku quickly dispatched the last GN-X, I shifted again to a different screen and watched the Snow White vs Baelstorm fight with nervousness as each subsequent clash had the Snow White taking more and more hits. The Baelstorm was also taking hits, but I knew a loss on their side would be more detrimental than the other way around, and if they lost Blade, Riku would be heavily outnumbered by the Merc and Zenshin fighter. “Is Blade going to be able to win this?” A voice I hadn’t expected asked as I looked to my right to see Hanako watching the battle intensely. “I don’t know … you tell me. You’re the one who ran in and gave him a gunpla. A gunpla he used without checking.” I said the end with a sigh. Kids these days are far too trusting. “The Gunpla is fine!” She countered, “Well, not .. fine fine.” I raised my eyebrow. “What do you mean by that?” “It’s not complete. It still has some structural kinks to work out along with a frame upgrade we didn’t get to. If this battle was on earth, the frame wouldn’t be able to handle battle for more then 10 minutes.” I furrowed my brow even more. “So we got lucky.” As the two started their last clash the Yamatos Wave Motion Cannon fired its laser, crashing through the colony and breaking it clean in half as the multiple screens showing all the fighters showed the blast from different angles. As the beam reached the other side of the map, Blade appeared behind Ryoichi as Ryoichi quickly turned. The two beam sabers move towards the enemies cockpits before their energy sabers immediately turn off at the sound of a bell, the two plastic models clashing into each other as the hilts of their blades both clash into their enemies chests. “MATCH OVER, WINNERS … [hr] [hider=Tomiyoka VS Komi] [u][b]Tomiyoka POV[/b][/u] "Tomi!" Riku said over the team comms, "In three minutes we're going to fire the trump card at Naoki's coordinates. The shot's trajectory goes through the Colony. It won't hit you directly, but it could cause a chain reaction of explosions or you might get caught by debris! Forget the Zone for now, get out of that colony!" I heard but furrowed by brow. “I heard, my completion of the zone had reached 98%. I’ll evacuate right after Riku senpai, over.” I said as I took a deep breath. It unnerved me to do so ever since training with Naoki. Image training, similar to shadow boxing, was a way of training through imagination. Naoki had taught me how to do it but warned me that the results would be uncomfortable. As I looked out at a hole through the ceiling of the colony, I stared at the emptiness of space. The feeling of limited oxygen made me shake a bit but I stopped, reminding myself that its just holographic. "Don't let your nerves get the best of you, Tomi. If you need to, just use this brief calm to practice controlling your breathing.” Rikus-sans advice rang and I took a deep breath, knowing that at any time I’d need to rush out of here to avoid friendly fire. As I continued to stare through the hole I stared at what I thought was a shooting star, only to be shocked when the star changed course straight towards his spot on Zone B. Activating my camera I realized that it was the Orange GN-X from team Zenshin High!! The progress bar for the zone changed from [99%] to [Contested] as the Gunpla charged in through the hole in the ceiling and threw a beam saber at him, which he quickly dodge leaving the saber to stab into the ground. “Dammit, not now!!” I yelled as the GN-X dropped down in front of me as we now both stood in the middle of a city ruins within the colony. The GN-X took out two more beam sabers and began to walk towards me slowly. “Sorry kid. But I can’t have you claiming this zone, or its game over. Let's do this Amber GN-X!!!” And with that he increased his pace and activated his boosters, rushing forward with his beam sabers in an X shape. What should I do? Do I run and let him get the point? Do I fight and risk getting blown up with the colony? Do I lead him away and try to grab the zone?! ”When you’re controlling a Gunpla with a Humanoid form, don’t think of controlling it’s limbs by moving your controller. It’s all about instinct.” The memory of Kai-san's advice rang and my gunpla jumped straight up without thought, dodging the two balades before I took out my rifle and aimed downwards to fire. Sadly he was quicker with his reactions then I could draw my gun and he was able to sidestep the blast. “Impressive kid, I can see why you're rolling with these guys!!” His enemy said over the comms as his gunpla kicked mind in the chest, launching it into the air. “But you’re not quick enough to compete with me!” He said as he launched himself to slash at me midair. Dammit, I don’t think I can hit this guy, and unless I transform I don’t think I can outspeed him, he’s too fast!!! “Whenever things get rough, that's when it's most important to bet on yourself.” Jun-san's advice rang and I smiled. All or nothing time. I charged towards the leaping GN-X and as his beam saber thrusts forward I side step last second, grabbing his arm as I transformed from my mobile suit form to the waverider form, the GN-Xs arm getting stuck within the folding arms. “I’m Sorry Zenshin san, But I’m betting on myself. Or more specifically, I’m betting that my Zeta will last longer than you!!!” And with that, the 3 minutes were up and an energy beam shook the colony before a pillar of energy erupted from underneath them. As the Wave Motion Cannon evaporated them, I angled my ship to have the GN-X under me, using the enemy as a temporary shield. As the Amber GN-X disintegrated underneath me, I briefly heard the system say “Zone B, Capt-” Before the Zeta dissipated as well. “MATCH OVER, WINNERS … TEAM IMAGINE VICTORY!!!!!” [/hider] [hr] [hider=Full Charmaine VS Naoki] Dezuel "It means nothing! And at the same time... EVERYTHING! First it was love! Then the love grew into hatred and then love anew!" Charmaine's eyes glimmered as Naoki funnels sprayed the Creusherazade with it's beams, just to cause them to bounce off it's form due to it's Anti-beam Defensive Reflection System. 'He's at a serious disadvantage, his funnels cannot do anything to my gunpla... I.. don't want my victory to feel incomplete...' Charmaine thought while he raised his beamsaber to lock against Naoki's. "Newtype?! You are the one with the spatial awareness and funnels! I am no such thing, I just gave my limbs to the gods! In order to defeat you, I had this gunpla gain what I lost! My missing limbs! I once sought an autograph upon a box and show you a gunpla! But that's all in the past! And we can never go back! To you, I may have been nothing more than one of the many fans in the crowd! However! In that moment-" The masked young man screamed out, igniting both the legilis beam sabers in their hands before making a downward slice from both aiming for his physical shields. "In this moment! I shall make all the domino pieces topple over! As long as I wear this mask, you and I shall be enemies! I will get everything back! Fight me with all you have, don't you dare hold back on me! Fight like you mean it! Where's that passion from three years ago?!" Charmaine screamed out, before shooting the two waist-mounted piercers which were both attached by wires towards Naoki's gunpla, aiming for it's cockpit. While speaking to Naoki, he couldn't help but feel admiration of the opposing gunpla. It wasn't overdesigned, it wasn't overequipped or overly flashy. It had a particular class to it, not only in it's build quality but it's usage. [hr] Crimson My heart began to beat faster as I listened to Charmaine, a ringing in my ear as I saw just how little effect my gunplas funnels had on the enemies armor. "You, your passion, your rage. I had thought you a Zechs Marque or a Graham. Just a lost warrior looking for battle. But I can see it now. You're like the past me, a Char Aznable who is brimming with pride and drive!!" I started before pull back as the two waist mounted piercers launched out at me, but instead of out right dodging I ripped the remaining shield from the Jestas sub arms and pushed the shield forward, the anchors latching onto it. I grabbed the shield as the Creusherazade returned the wires, dragging my gunpla along with it. "But I'm not the same person I was long ago. In fact, my masked was shattered by someone and I felt a loss so powerful I also was reborn anew, scared and frightened but with even more drive to move forward. And I've decided, I'll do the same for you!!!" I activated my boosters, increasingly rushing towards the Creusherazade with the intention of grabbing its arms and subarms with its own and having the shield in between them. "It may not be today, or tomorrow or even within the next decade, but I promise here and now. I'm gonna shatter that mask of yours into a million pieces!!!!" I yelled as I charged, the next couple minutes would be essential to my plan and I needed to bring my A-Game "Zone C," I said, momentarily switching from the public channels to the Team Channel. "This is a Top Priority order to all in Zone C, and absolutely must be followed. Lock the Wave Motion Cannon onto my broadcasted position, and in 180 seconds from now, fire." [hr] Dezuel "Pride is useless without honor! To fight is to keep on living! Innovade! Coordinate! Extend yourself! To be the strongest, to go the farthest and to climb the highest!" Charmaine yelled out to Naoki, having witnessed his opponent successfully block his waist mounted weapory with his shields. His performance in battle was just as he had hoped it would be. Yet his opponent was so determined about bringing victory for his team, that Charmaine couldn't help but feel a smirk crawl up his lips in enjoyment. "Hah! But can you?!" The masked young man replied as each of his gunpla's arms were grabbed by those of his opponent, that despite it's many limbs it was now having trouble to attack. But even so, he wasn't fully without options. "I knew this fight would be what I wanted! Do you not feel it? This is how it is to be alive! Now let us bring it to the finale!" Charmaine pushed his gunpla's thrusters to the maximum output and began to push his opponent which had grappled his precious machine. That Jesta had really turned out to be a troublesome thing. Yet it was too late to regret not looking over the opponents gunpla. The Creusherazade began to forcefully push and charge it's thrusters against the Jesta, pushing it towards one of the large asteroids about. Charmaine was intending on using the sheer impact from such a collision to deal damage to Naoki and his Jesta, and if nothing else free himself. Yet along the path right before reaching it, there was something coming their way quickly. A flash. Charmaine's eyes widened and he held up both his arms before screaming aloud. "Gaaaaaaaah!" [/hider] [hr] Naoki POV [@Dezuel][@Renny] As The WMC evaporated the two of us, I almost wanted to cry a bit as I felt the end of the match. So exhilarating. So nerve wracking! Truly it was one of my toughest fights ever and I had taken out the enemy by using our trump card. I felt like I wanted to crash onto the ground and laugh. To celebrate with my teammates. … But theres something I need to do first. I walked past my teammates to the other side of the table to the end where Charmaine sat. “Masked Fighter!” I said as I took out a business card for Takemori Arcade. “Give me a call soon. Theres something I want to talk to you about.” I said to the masked boy before turning to Ryoichi, “And you, take a card as well. If your contact with them ends soon gimme a call, I’d love to have someone like you around .. “Old man”.” I said, copying Juns nickname for him.
