GBWC was hosting its broadcast when Ralph Jackson announced, “Good afternoon Honolulu and Gunpla fans worldwide! The moment you’ve been waiting for has come! Tonight we are sending you feed live to bring you… The final round of the American regional qualifiers! Who will be the grand winner to test their mettle in the Gunpla Battle Championship? Tonight’s match is brought to you live! Are you ready for some heated action Zach?”
Zachary turned to face his fellow commenter when he “You bet I am. Send in the finalists.”
Ralph gave the introduction for the first entry, “In this final round we’ve got two students from Antioch, California. Descended from the head of the American Branch of Bandai, Brian Scott.”
“He shows he has what it takes to go far alright.” Zachary added.
The profiles switched when Ralph introduced, “And from humble beginnings to even humbler ambitions. His opponent Hedy McVey is here to show she wants to qualify as well! Both first time entries to the Gunpla Battle Tournament, anything can happen now! This is easily when things get the most exciting!”
The lights dimmed while red searchlights went in various direction. Zachary gave his introduction, “And here is one of them! In this corner, America’s rich kid is ready to rush in for his prize!” The crowd on Brian’s side gave a roaring cheer while Mashymre Cello led the others in excitement for the upcoming battle. “He sure does look ready for something big isn’t he?” Zachary asked.
Blue searchlights began to shine when Ralph continued, “That is absolutely right. And in this corner the lovely lady who has her sights on a trip to Japan. She’s only a year younger but shows as much resolve to aim for the top. Give a warm hand to Hedy McVey!” On her side the crowd cheered while Setsuna and Marina were present among her side as others gave their support.

Hedy stared down the fraud of a battler when he stepped in front of the Battle System. “You think you have a good enough reason to reach the Gunpla Tournament?”
Hedy didn’t back down from his question when she answered, “You bet I do. Nothing is going to stop me from heading there.”
“Sorry to disappoint. But I have business waiting for me.”
“You talk about wanting to win more all the time. I say you drop the talk and start walking!” She knew this from the previous battle he had. Brian still didn’t seem to let go of that superiority complex that motivated him so far.
He proved her evaluation when he answered, “We’ll find out who wants it more!”

The battle began when the Battle System announced, ‘Please set your GP Base.’ The two American finalists placed their bases before one another when their stats appeared for the public to see.
‘Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.’ The crumbling ruins of Brussels in among the pieces of Mariemaia forces littering the streets became the decided battleground for the match as the particles gave the illusion.
‘Please set your Gunpla.’ The final step was taken when both fighters prepared their respective gunpla for the battle.
Ralph gave his confirmation of the beginning match when he announced, “And the final round begins!”
Brian prepared himself when he ordered, “Launch Gundam! Go forth and claim my Revenge!” The Revenge made its way to the battlefield with its energy rifle in hand and prepared to make the first shots.
Hedy sent forth her gunplay when she announced, “Here comes your second helping of pain! Slice him to bits TC!”
The two gundam models found themselves across from one another while the two didn’t have any environmental hazards to worry about.
Brian had the first word when he offered, “Sorry we don’t have any taller buildings around. I would have loved to show you what I went through.”
“Poetic Justice is overrated anyway. Let’s battle!”
“With pleasure!” The Revenge withdrew both of its combat knives and thrust forward among the destroyed remains.
The TC was ready for this but didn’t have any beam sabers ready at the moment. It improvised with the benefit of all of its arms when it grabbed the Revenge but its forearms and slammed it into the nearest building while pummeling it into the ruins.
“Sorry I’m not done yet!” The Revenge prepared its Igelstellungs as it rushed forward. The TC made its dodges but found itself cornered from both sides while the Revenge dove forth with its combat knives again. This time the TC grabbed hold of the two arms while using the strength of all four arms to prevent it from being damaged. It wasn’t changing the fact that they still flew directly through one of the buildings and leveled others to the ground as they made their skid across the roads.
“ Some advantage you got. Won’t be for long!”
“Not happening a second time! These babies cost too much to replace!”
“I’ll just have to make due with what I’ve got.” The Revenge prepared its high energy beam rifle while it backed away from the possible range of its opponent. Just before the more powerful rifle could fire, the TC prepared its own and gave a few quick shots in the blind areas. The Revenge spun around clearly damaged but still regained its footing when it prepared for its final fire. The attempt to avoid the shot’s damage only resulted in the TC flying back again as it flew into one of the nearby buildings and reducing it to a pile.
“Not good! Come on and get up will you?!” The TC recovered its footing while Hedy moved around for the next possible area she could make an attack. The Revenge gave its shots while attacking her cover but was closing in on her location as it moved forward.
The yellow mobile suit fired on every area of the city remains before it prepared a grenade. Brian was staying on his guard when he demanded, “You know this is going to end with me getting what I came for! Just throw in the towel while you have the chance to save a few bucks!”
“Sorry. Not going to work that way!” The TC came out strong when it jumped from one of the nearby buildings and multiple beam sabers in its hands. The beam sabers came in a frantic series of movements as the two began their duel. The Revenge had its knives blocking every attempt while the TC continued an ongoing onslaught. The continuing onslaught was cut off though once the grenade that fell to the Revenge’s feet flung them both in opposite directions.
The fronts of both opposing mobile suits were damaged at the blasts when Brian warned, “Just got a bit more climatic. Don’t think you’ll have it that easy!”
“Never even thought about it!” The TC prepared its four beam sabers while flying towards the opponent and made contact with the two combat knives. Hedy could hear her own determination when she warned, “I think it’s about time you went down.”
Brian backed away from the saber contact when he prepared the Revenge’s beam rifle again and continued to fire. “Try again!” He managed to put some distance between himself and the TC while he attempted to find a way to turn things around. “How long before she lands flat on her face already?!”
“I really have to find a way to use these extra arms more effectively!” Hedy commented when she briefly reflected on the opportunity to end the battle in her previous block. She brought herself back to the now when the TC thrust forward and sliced away at any possible cover the Revenge might have had. It was a few more before she managed to chip away at her opponent’s beam rifle and saw it begin to fizzle from damage. “Ha! You don’t have me so easily!”
Hedy noticed she got ahead of herself when she was brought to the ground as the Revenge sliced away at the TC’s legs. “Not as full of carnage like last time. But we sure as hell didn’t even need it.” Brian looked over his fallen opponent when he asked, “You think you have anything that goes above the sheer desire of being the best?!”
“I think I’ll have to discover that for myself!” The TC thrust itself back when it continued in a forward motion. The Revenge was forced to make contact with every blow while the TC made an unstoppable rampage of slices.
Brian’s gunpla stood a few feet away as it tried to hold itself together among what damage it had taken. “Ah! I can still do this!”
“Not for long!”
Brian found the joints were moving too slowly when he tried to prepare another series of blocks, “Come on and respond! This is my battle!” With the final slide under the Revenge the TC brought out its beam sabers from its left side and simultaneously sliced away at the Revenge’s left arm and torso. The connection of the two forces brought about an explosion within the Revenge as the TC moved away from the blast zone. It stood from the flames of the explosion and looked away to find its opponent completely obliterated.

The Battle System ended the conflict when it displayed and announced to its viewers, ‘Battle Ended’.
Brian took hold of his gunplay when he cursed, “No! How did this happen again?!”
Zachary gave his confirmation of the final strikes when he announced, “And B-b-b-battle Ended!”
Ralph rallied the tournament crowd to a cheer when he announced, “The winner, new champion of the American Qualifying Tournament, and the player headed for the WORLD Tournament has been decided! Give it up Gunpla fans for Hedy McVey!”

When the cheers among the crowd had finished Ralph gave his report, “Absolutely thrilling! A historic new battle has been waged today and is certainly going up there with the best! Let’s get a word from our good friends down below on the reaction from Ms. McVey herself!”
Hedy was front and center on the camera screen when she introduced, “I want to thank everybody out there for cheering me on! I know you’re watching and I’m happy! Oh yeah! Tieria Erde! Tieria! If you’re out there I’m out for you! Please spot me in the tournament! You’ll be able to pick me out from the others!”
Zachary ended the broadcast when he requested, “And that’s a wrap from the American Qualifier herself. We turn now to one of our interns to give us an update on those unfortunate to make it past this point. Helena!”
Helena appeared on the screen when she was in front of the other participants reporting, “Thank you Zach. Unfortunately Mr. Scott has yet to appear for a statement on what has happened. But stay with us and you’ll receive word on the other two and what they hope to take from this day.”

Brian was assembling the Revenge out of sheer stress when he cursed over losing again to Hedy. “Set back again just because of some stupid girl. What kind of ambition does she even have for the tournament? She’s a rabid fangirl damn it! What else does she even have?” He set his gunplay down when he promised himself, “I know what she doesn’t have. An obstacle to jump over. I’ll show her. I’ll show everybody when I head there.” He took out his cellphone when he called, “Hey dad. Yeah I know you just saw that… Here’s the thing. I won’t be headed home just yet… Yeah it’ll be a while… Oh don’t worry. You’ll know… Okay, later.” He turned to his Gunpla when he promised himself, “It won’t be long. Time to book my flight then.”
