[IC] Gundam Build Divers: Neo

[Renny]

@Shiyonichi@vancexentan@Double@Keyblade87

Isamu, despite the age difference, looked at Takahashi with certain amount of disappointment. "True," he agreed with a faint smile. "Still, you shouldn't judge people like that. Who knows what they're going through. I'm going to send him a friend request." He sifted through his "Players Met" menu. "I'll send you guys one too, y'know in case you ever need some help or a partner." As he said this, digital envelopes floated from his prompt menu to theirs.

He sent one to Takatora as well.

Once that was done, he moved a bit closer to the table and positioned himself between Miyuki and Takahashi. "My G-Nexus is capable of space combat as well. I think most of us are pretty shaky in the water. I don't have many parts that'd allow for an extended stay down there. So, Miyuki, what kind of Gunpla do you use?"

Not a second later a notification popped up in the middle of the room. Battle-type changed: Three v Three, Team-Battle, Location: Mountain Range. "Three-minutes and counting," A mechanical voice warned.

Isamu looked at the door, a bit displeased with the obvious change. "Oh well, that sucks."

[Keyblade87]

Akira stood in the small room listening to everyone talk amongst themselves he decided to walk over to the small raccoon before them all after the comment made by the G-Advent pilot.
"Hey there," he began. "Names Akira, Loved your gunpla out there it was really a force to be reckoned with." he said with a smile as he leaned against a wall and let himself relax a bit before looking over the stats and numbers of his own gunpla.

[Shiyonichi]

”Aww don’t just leave just yet we just met!”

Miyuki pouted as she called out to the two divers as they walked out, though she perked up at Isamu ‘s question to which she replied, while she accepted his friend request. She could always use more friends. Isamu’s asking about her Gunpla got her to give him a mischievous grin.

”My Gunpla is called the Gemini! It’s a pretty badass robot!”

It should be noted that Miyuki wasn’t quite familiar with Gunpla’s parent franchise, as such she probably had no idea or forgot the name of the mobile suit it was based on, the Unicorn. Though she at least understood what Isamu meant, but that didn’t mean she was going to give him a straight answer.

”As for what it does... I’m gonna keep that a secret. A girl got to keep some sort of secret.

Of course this secret wasn’t something that was going to be kept up for long, only until he start of the next round, nor was it a secret at all. If Isamu searched deep enough, it was pretty easy to find her signature Mobile Suit. The Gemini was good in nearly all terrains, except for desert terrains. It was the sand, the Gemini didn’t like sand. It was corse, rough, and gets everywhere. Especially when the Gemini transformed. All the shifting of the armor meant more places sand could end up getting into and causing problems. It was part of the reason why Miyuki added in a cape, to keep the sand out.

[vancexentan]

"I guess. Let's just make sure everything is going to go well. Mountains are ok terrain just a bit problematic with its sniper spots. It only takes one shot." Takahashi told the group as he looked at Akira walk over, and slump himself against the wall next to him. He wondered if he knew who he actually was, and was just sucking up for tips. "Thanks it took a lot of effort to turn the Advent into making workable. The Saviour model in its base is really basic, and really plain. But its got its upsides. Due to being very basic it has a lot of ways to be adjusted, or min-maxed. In other words you can pump performance while not overloading it with special features. A lot of big names out there can expend a lot of cash to make a big fancy model. But people with an actual budget need to focus on making normal models workable. Of course Advent isn't my best model though. I don't bring my serious stuff until someone really pushes my buttons. I really hate the considered 'meta' so to speak in common circles." Takahashi explained in a long winded fashion. He hoped that he wasn't chattering too much but at the same time he really didn't care. When the battle began to count down he scrolled down his list of gunpla models to use and then selected the Advent again going over to his position to control the machine. "I got Advent working everyone ready up."

@Shiyonichi@vancexentan@Double@Keyblade87

The mechanical voice chimed in again. "One minute and counting."

Isamu felt the exhilaration of pre-battle preparations. He looked towards Takahashi, then towards Akira, then finally at Miyuki. Her faint explanation had only inspired curiosity in him, now he was excited to see her Gunpla in action. "Alright, Bossy," teased the boy, even as finalized the slight repairs of the G-Nexus. He tugged on the hem of his gloves, feeling the leather hug his fingers. "Alright! I'm feeling so freaking pumped right now!"

"Battle-type change: Sudden Special-Event activated. One v Force Battle. Request acknowledged! Location change: Space Colony."

"Hmm? this feesl familiar for some reason." Isamu's voice was a tad calmer. "Why does this feel familiar?" he asked, looking at his impromptu teammates.

"One minute and counting." the mechanize voice warned.

* * *

The Congealed Meteor shot from the field gate, his thrusters slowing to a high-pitch hum. Inside his machine, King stared off at his next victims. "Ninety-six individual gunplas laid out behind us, Congeal..."

"How cruel and amazing destiny can be. A perfect hundred now stands in front of us."

The crimson machine, unlike any Gundam or Mobile Suit, seemed completely new. He bared one of its massive blades and glanced around himself. To his right was field of cosmic bodies, behind him was the Colony, to his left was empty but soothing space. "Forgive my cruelty but I must not lose. Ever." he said somberly.

[vancexentan]

"Don't be dense this is probably just a coincidence that this map was picked." grumbled Taka as he viewed through his settings. However he did have a bad feeling in his gut. If things went wrong he may end up having to piece together Advent but he just chalked it up to things being stressful with a team expecting so much from him. He wasn't really that good like he said he got his power from Advent's top notch handling. Still if he had his other machine...it wouldn't even be a question if the enemy was good it would be if they could survive. But using that gunpla meant he would be giving into something he loathed, and for that he would use Advent to its full ability. The 'saviour' to oppose the 'tyrant' he held close to him. His creations weren't peerless but they were his, and he was proud of them. It would bad if he started to doubt the Advent.

[Shiyonichi]

A space colony field? Was it who she thought it was? Miyuki grinned, but it wasn’t a happy go lucky on or a mischievous one, no it was a ‘I’m gonna murder a bitch’ slasher smile. Miyuki was waiting for this moment and said to her teammates though the coms.

”No, I’m pretty sure this is King... well let’s go kill the ******!

The Gunpla Battle Network had to censor out her last word, but it rhymed with ‘trucker’. Now most people wanted take out King for glory, admiration, or they liked a challenge. For Miyuki it wasn’t any of those. No, it was that Miyuki and King couldn’t stand each other. Miyuki was the tiger to King’s dragon, they were near opposites, as such they could never get along. They haven’t ever met in the field of battle, but met avatar to avatar a few times and nearly every time they attempted to strangle each other. Even if it was impossible to kill someone by strangling them in GBN and they knew that, they tried anyway.

”Let’s go destroy him, Gemini!”

The knight like mobile suit shot out from the field gate, it’s visor glowing green in agreement, as it pulled out it’s Beam Magnum. A targeting reticle appeared on the screen. Miyuki pulled the trigger and a line of bright pink streaked across the sky, the first shot was fired.

[Double]

Takatora didn't really get out a response before he was taken out of the room and respawned into the Lobby. By this point, a friend request popped into his inbox. Takatora's first instinct was to simply delete it and move on. It was just one of the players he was randomly teamed with, so surely it didn't actually mean anything. But before he could confirm the deletion, a voice from somewhere in the lobby caught his attention and left the request alone for the time being. Takatora looked around, feeling certain that the voice belonged to someone he knew. Sure enough, he spotted the unmistakable avatar of Adam Roman, one of his brother's old friends and a former member of the Build Warriors.

"Aren't you kind of far away from the European Server, Adam?" asked Takatora as he approached the masked avatar. He remembered that Adam was fan of both Char Aznable and Zechs Marquis, and his avatar reflected that. He wore what looked like Trieze's uniform, only it was given Char's colors. Like some mixture of OZ and Zeon, and the mask accessory he wore was distinctly the mask of Zechs. Zechs's mask was easier to wear with longer hair, and while Adam's brown hair was not as long as Zechs, it was just above shoulder length and tied neatly into a ponytail. Takatora's question was quite valid, as Adam was from Romania and thus usually inhabited the European server. There was also the time difference between Japan and Europe as well, and surely it had to be quite late at night for Adam.

"Caught a glimpse of your previous match." Adam responded, dodging the question completely, "The highlights, anyway. Good form, but you could still use some work."

The racoon ninja raised an eyebrow, "Tell me you didn't come all the way here just to tell me that...?"

Adam stifled a laugh, "Don't be ridiculous." he said, and then pointed to one of the larger screens streaming battles, "That's the reason I came here."

Takatora looked up and saw the announcement for a One vs Force Special-Event. And then he saw the names of the entries. The "One" was King, no surprise there. But the the Force? It wasn't even a Force, but the previous group Takatora had been randomly assigned to earlier, "Whoa! You mean if I stayed in there I'd have to..."

"Fight King." Adam finished, his expression stern but not too much so, "King's reputation is known even in the European Server. I've seen the highlights of his matches, but I wanted to see a live match. Call it... curiosity." it sounded like Adam was interested in seeing just how serious King was for himself. In fact it sounded like he wanted to challenge him.

"You really think you can take him?" asked Takatora, not out of sarcasm, but genuine curiosity. Adam was no pushover, none of the former Build Warriors were. They were each champion level builders and pilots, even during the days of GP Duel before GBN was even created. So a duel between Adam and King would probably be very interesting to watch.

"You and I both know there's no easy answer to that question. I'll have to challenge him some day and then maybe we'll get an answer to that question. For now, let's just watch the King in action, hm?"

♫

Pulling up alongside his allies, Isamu couldn't shake the feeling he was in over his head. It sent his mind into overdrive, made him jittery. For the first time in a very long time, he found himself lingering behind the others. He had thought he had wanted to go up against, King before. All of a sudden that changed quick, now ... now he was realizing just how far apart the two of them was. There was a quality to the infamous Congealed Meteor; a gleam and presence of overwhelming superiority.

Over the comms he could hear, Miyuki's zeal. He couldn't stop himself. "No! wait, Miyuki!"

It was too late, the distinctive sound of beam leaving rifle occupied space. "Crap baskets."

* * *

King activated the deflector beam-shield installed in his massive sword, with a casual flick he sent The Gemini's beam shot off towards the Advent with a deft precision. The rifle shot was bolstered by complex mechanics within the shield's design, increasing the bolt's speed and power dramatically.

"The Gemini ... Miyuki, show me your worth. Will you walk beside me or crumble like so many before you."

King pushed the Congealed Meteor forwards, his craftsmanship showing in the gunpla's performance. He performed maneuvers similar to Full Frontal and Char Aznable, zipping, spinning, and reeling with an unnatural control. It took him months of intense practice to maintain his meticulous control and insight during those baffling movements. It often dumbfounded his opponents, especially considering how slow to react their gunplas were.

Beneath his mask, his lips curled into a smile.

He pushed the Congealed Meteor even faster.

* * *

"A ... A red comet," Isamu uttered. "Its so fast." His suit beeped a warning not even two seconds after the Congealed Meteor had begun its flight. He read the screen, object closing in, expecting to reach in five seconds. "Five seconds! From that far away, no friggin way!"

"Snap out of it, Isamu. We got this, G! Takahashi, back me up!" he yelled, rushing out to meet the Congealed Meteor.

He felt idiotic, even as he brandished his beam saber and ignited it. The sky blue Gundam charged straight down the empty lane of space. A unbidden battle cry roared from, Isamu's throat. The Congealed Meteor looked at peace, like a blood-stained deity peering through specks of dust.

[vancexentan]

"So I was wrong huh? Fine I'll deal with it even if Advent is no match for this guy I'll give it what I have none the less." grumbled Takahashi he didn't even bother calling off Miyuki she wouldn't listen to him if he did, and if she did it would just get her shot down. He considered what he could do with the Advent and nothing came to mind that would be able to handle this guy, especially in space. The weapons were simple, and stream lined nothing big, and boisterous. He'd be lucky to get a few shots in. "Comets are just a fancy word for a small asteroid. That should show you how unoriginal the 'champ' over there is. Push it out of your mind and advance together. Miyuki is playing dumb we need to work together if we want to leave a dent on a guy with this skill level." Takahashi told the kid as he fired up Advent he still held his rifle in his hand. Takahashi fired up his engines but didn't go at full speed as he flew out to the conflict zone. "Isamu if you don't want to get shot down use ranged weapons, and work in tangent with Miyuki, or myself. He'll decimate you in the close quarters."

[Shiyonichi]

As if to prove it the fact that she wasn’t stupid, the Noir shield was thrown infront of Taka it’s I field dispersing the powerful beam of the Beam Magnum. As a testament to the power of the rifle,, the streams of scattered energy spread out and turned several Space debris into dust.

”You’re welcome. Well as he said let’s take out this Chunnibyou bastard!”

King wasn’t the only one who polished a skill to perfection, Miyuki had one too, a skill she polished all her life. King’s movement was unreal, most people wouldn’t be able to keep up with it, however, as the Red comet streamed across the stars, the Gemini turned it’s rifle to the mobile suit’s direction. Miyuki was born without the ability to recognize faces, as such she had to use other ways of identifying the person, her skill was observation. Translating it into Gunpla, she was able to pick up on almost every little movement of the mobile suit and then using that information to deduce the movement patterns of the opponent. Tiger and Dragon as they say, their perfected skills were opposites of each other. King had the skill to make the enemy lose sight of him, but Miyuki has the skill of never losing the sight of an opponent.

Miyuki sighed, she wanted to fight him on her own terms. She may have hated King, but there was some sort of respect for him and wanted to go at him, one on one. Heck, she had an entire upgrade planned out for the Gemini and had modified parts of the Gemini in preparation. Well no use crying over spilled milk, she could get another chance. Miyuki pulled the trigger and the Beam Magnum blast flew, but not at King. Rather it decimated a large chunk of debris turning it into of field of shrapnel and Shards forcing the Red comet to slow down.

The issue with high speed movement based suits was that GBN at least followed the basic laws of physics. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Moving at max speed in a shrapnel field would cause it to turn into a mass of bullets, shredding the Mobile Suit. Miyuki called out to both Taka and Isamu.

”Well your turns guys, I didn’t bring my damn bazooka with me, so I’ve only got beam ranged weapons.

[Keyblade87]

Akira grinned at the group and what they were saying.
"Alright well let's get this going guys. Shall I send in the Dragoons?" he asked playfully staying in close with the friendly gunpla. he had been watching for the right moment to really be useful but with only one enemy unit he knew he had to play smart, especially knowing how powerful the enemy was.

♫

King's smile paled upon seeing the Advent's lack of movement towards the beam. In that instance he had regarded the pilot of the gray mech as incompetent, if not inexperienced. The machine was such a beautiful piece of work; for him to allow it damage without a speck of concern for the aftermath made King upset. He had been lucky that, Miyuki had sacrificed her shield for him. However, Miyuki's sacrifice would be her ultimate downfall. He could see it now, the actions and movements that would lead to her defeat.

His smile returned and upon seeing her beam rifle raise towards the debris field, he unlatched his other massive-sword. Dual wielding them at his side, he activated their deflector shields and sent his wrist spinning robustly, creating an effective sphere of reflection.

Without having to slow down, he approached the Gemini with his erratic movements and before she could react slammed Congeal's foot into Gemini's mid-section, sending her spiraling backwards. In the same movement, his swords glowed with black beam energy. He sent a wide arc towards Miyuki, knowing she'd be too staggered to defend against it.

"Sacrifice often goes hand-in-hand with regret, Miyuki. You should have kept your shield."

* * *
_{A moment earlier}

Isamu had slowed down, his own hesitations sparking a bit of dependence in Taka's confidence. He moved a safe distance from the shield explosion. "N-Nice save, Miy-"

"Miyuki watch out!" he yelled, catching the Congealed Meteor approaching her at full-speed.

"Shoot! Takahashi, we gotta back her up!" Panic made him push the G-Nexus towards the bloody gunpla. He screamed and raised his Stungle Rifle up towards the saber blast heading for Miyuki. With a pull of his trigger, the powerful beam shot intercepted the attack, causing an inferno of black and green to speckle about the void.

The head of the Congeal Meteor acknowledged him, its eyes glowing green before its massive blade released a wave of beam-energy towards him. Isamu's suit was consumed by the black energy, and before he knew it, the "Defeat" sign hung in front of him.

Isamu looked away. "Crap baskets," he mumbled.

[Keyblade87]

Akira watched the events unfolding before him and leaped into action surging forward drawing his beam saber and deflecting the attack away from Isamu.
"Isamu you alright?" he said looking over his shoulder to the friendly suit behind him. "We've gotta keep our guard up with this guy or he's gonna pick us off like flies so let's get a plan together and get this done!" he said over the comms to everyone trying to get a response and get brain juices flowing.

[vancexentan]

"I'm sorry my mind was elsewhere I didn't even notice he took the shot. I'll back her but don't expect me to actually win this fight. I have no outs that he hasn't seen thousands of times by now." grumbled the disgruntled Takahashi as he raced to think of solutions. If he was with his old force then maybe Hisao, and even Rantaro would...no they weren't here this was not the time to think of those two especially Rantaro that conniving scumbag...however in that moment Isamu was shot down like an idiot as well. "Damn you! Fine then I'll make you work for this! Victory is a forgone lost conclusion. The very least I'll make you bleed Red Clown!" Takahashi said intentionally spewing insults as a way of triggering the enemy pilot into make some sort of dumb mistake. If he could take advantage of a small opening, or a disregard for something would allow him to at least make a dent. Raising his rifle Takahashi hunkered down thrusting backwards towards open space. He fired quick spastic shots without a lot of firepower behind them. Advent did not have a close combat oriented style of fighting if it came down to it he would do all he could to hold him. The shots were purposely spread out while still in his general direction. He was aiming to screw with his movement rather than hit him. Once he made a mistake one full powered shot may be enough...but he doubted it. A Euro champ wouldn't be outclassed by a gunpla geek with a average combat ability.

[Shiyonichi]

King would witness a crimson glow coming from the Gemini. Miyuki had activated Destory Mode, the black and white Gunpla showing it’s true colors. The cape of the Gunpla glowed with the same red light as the suit’s psycho frame, looking like a cloak of flames. The first hit on the meteor came sooner than expected as the Noir came out of nowhere, flying at high speeds and blindsided king as he was distracted from Taka’s rifle fire before returning to Miyuki’s side. What actually exploded was the debris around the shield. The Noir shield sword itself was I field equipped, the beam did absolutely nothing to it. Miyuki knew the movement of the meteor and left herself open.

”Sorry Chunni, but I didn’t sacrifice anything! Speaking of sacrifice...”

Miyuki turned over to the team chat.

”Um, Isamu... I don’t know how to tell you this, but I had another I Field... I would have been fine. I mean you might be thinking that I was staggered, but I play this game religiously and I don’t really flinch in this game anymore, after understanding the difference between this and reality.

What Miyuki was stating was the beginning of an adept Divers, the understandings of the boundary between the two, which made the sacrifice practically pointless... she appreciated the gesture.

[Renny]

Isamu perked up a bit. Hearing, Miyuki's voice had prompted him to speak. Even though he felt pathetic being the first taken out, he just couldn't wrap his head around the speed of King's follow up strike. Still, Takahashi, Miyuki, and Akira was still in the game, that meant they still stood some iota of a chance.

Isamu chuckled. "Yea, I guess. Flinching or not, King definitely had you for a moment ... I panicked. I thought I was helping."

Despite his tone, the youth was feeling pretty defeated.

* * *

Having taken out one of gunpla's, King tallied his score to ninty-seven. Frankly their Force was the perfect example of one of the reasons why he was untouchable. From the start they all had their own goals and actions in mind. Not once could he see any teamwork in place. Miyuki, especially. She allowed their past to blind her to her advantages and disadvantages. He wondered if she even considered her fault in her teammate's actions.

I'm beginning to think I might have been wrong about her. I never noticed till now, since we've never battled. Congeal and I will show her her place. But first...

King's movements didn't have to slow down to dodge the spaced-apart shots. The Advent's method of creating distance and attempting to constrict his speed was a telltale of its lack of combat ability. Too rigid. It lacks creativity, a flame. Perhaps he's suppressing it.

The Congealed Meteor whiplashed through the beam fire, keeping tight when he needed and strafing wide when a true-chance presented itself. It was just too bad his sensors had informed him of the incoming projectile. He glanced in its direction noticing the distinct Unicorn themed shield. Surely it must've had a beam shield as well. "You mistake your strength, Miyuki!" he barked, slamming his massive-sword into the Noire Shield, breaking it in the process.

King broke off from his pursuit of the Advent, ascending far above the both of them. "And so have I."

He eyed the Gemini's new form. The amazing NT-D system had been bogged down by the sheer number of weaponry the suit had. No matter how fast it was, it couldn't contend with his skill and Congeal's natural ability. "... Miyuki."

♫

The Congeal's engine begun to whine and soon it became too high-pitched to hear. The powerful thrusters that glowed o' so brightly dimmed and very methodically, four of those six thrusters flowed from his back and begun to circle his body. Without those large diamond-shaped pieces on his back, the suit seemed to have thinned out. He held his massive blades at his sides; looking down at his enemies while his Meteors maneuvered within five-meters of him.

A single Meteor rushed off to distract, Miyuki, fueled by a powerful source-of-energy, it was nimble and quick, its erratic movements mirroring the Congeal, only it was smaller and a bit deadlier.

Meanwhile, Congeal moved at a relatively average pace towards the Gemini, his suit no longer the supercharged monster from before.

What ... What is this feeling? this expectancy and ...

[Shiyonichi]

”King... You idiot!

Miyuki shouted, as the little Meteors would turn on each other. Blasting each other to little bits in a pink tinted explosion.

”King... NT-D hijacks funnel type weapons... How could you forget that!? Are you messing with me?

Miyuki’s rage grew more appearent and the Gemini’s Flame grew hotter and hotter. The shards and pieces that were the Noir would start coming together and started reforming.

”King... You layed down on your laurels and this is what I’m facing!? This is pathetic! It’s a disgrace!”

Miyuki’s voice grew more dramatic, with a small dash of disappointment added in. The space around her seemed to vibrate... as the Gemini’s flames grew from a light red to an emerald green... the Gemini had awakened, it’s now green cape fluttering behind it. Miyuki ejected all of the ranged weapons of the Gemini.

The Gemini was now the monster that the Congeal was at the beginning of the match. It flew off like a bolt of lightning slamming the Congeal at high speeds. The Congeal was sent flying back as the Gemini’s thrusters exceeded it’s own, the Gemini crashed the Congeal through multiple pieces of debris on it’s path of destruction. The Congeal was only getting weaker while the Gemini was getting stronger. Gemini blew away King’s blades with it’s own, with such ferocity that the reformed Noir snapped under the force, before grabbing him and slamming him into another meteor.

”You know what I realized King?”

Miyuki asked, her rage had turn cold... Miyuki voice would grow more dramatic as she made a declaration.

”The Gemini and I are just going grow stronger and stronger! Until we reach that mountain peak! You and the Congeal! Do the same! That way we can have a true battle! And if you don’t... we’ll dethrone you!”

Miyuki shouted at King as she held him by the shoulder and the beam tonfa flipped out preparing for the final strike.

[vancexentan]

"Good so he's not on me anymore...fine I'll take pot shots." grumbled Takahashi as he switched the settings on his rifle to max power. A good strong shot was all he needed to break that suit's arm, or torso apart. Aiming down his sights he didn't bother to compliment Miyuki on holding her own. He hoped she didn't need his praise that was pointless coming from a two bit loser like him. Then again he wanted to be a loser because the alternative....was not something he wanted. "Breath...one....two...three..." Takahashi said not letting his nerves get to him it was the same way in gunpla building you had to have had patience. If you made a mistake once you'll regret it. Taking his aim he noticed Miyuki leaving. "Wow way to abandon me." he muttered to himself silently as took his shot he fired down the sights, and then followed it up three more times for good measure. That moron in the red suit could think of him how he liked for taking far away pot shots. But he wasn't stupid, nor was he a passionate idiot. A win was a win, and a loss was a loss. Come how it may he would take either surrender seemed insulting to Advent, himself, and the champ.

[Renny]

The feeling had left him.

The expectancy, the hope he had held on to had vanished. He had seen it all along, the Gemini's downfall. Her arrogance and anger. So gung-ho was Miyuki, that she didn't stop to consider why he had detached his thruster-funnels in front of her NT-D imbued Gemini. She lacked the mentality to be his rival. Did she ruminate on why only one had been sent to bait her? no she didn't. She fell into his trap, his tactics and would now become the fool who thought she could reach the king.

From her explosive emotions, the Gemini underwent another transformation. Green? another form. She's unveiled all her cards and they still aren't enough.

His funnels had been destroyed by her, leaving a residue in the pink explosion that scattered them about the area. Miyuki's rant continued but it soon came to a deafening close, before she toss aside his blades or rip into his armor, her suit had begun to stiffen and malfunction. Her NT-D System shut down, the green being sealed by the dirtied metal of her suit. The suit soon became as stiff as a corpse; she had revealed another function of his custom suit. The particles in his thrusters, once turned into energy for his funnels had the ability to disrupt the flow of another suit's system.

The Gemini had effectively contracted rigor-mortis.

King peeled the Gemini's grasp from his shoulders. "To think you did this much with Congeal's spirit on your suit. I'm impressed ... slightly." He sighed and raised his massive-sword above her. "So lost in your madness were you, that you honestly believed you could sit upon my throne. O' foolish jester, you're not even funny."

And without giving her much room to respond, he impaled the Gemini down the middle and swung the mangled suit into the nearby debris field. It floated for a few seconds before sparking and exploding.

The "DEFEAT" sign hung heavy in front of Miyuki's screen.

He turned his attention to the Advent. He seemed a bit more sensible than, Miyuki, if not cautious. Using his last two thrusters to amp his speed, King made a beeline for the pilot. He activated his reflector shields and returned the speeding beams towards the Advent at double their speed and power. King had no more words for this Force; they were finished it would seem. He wondered if, Miyuki would grow from this defeat or waddle in her despair.

* * *

Isamu remained quiet in their lobby. Even he felt like, King's words were going too far. He was content with learning as much as possible about the Congealed Meteor. So far it seemed to be an extreme-high-speed close combat unit. It also had contingencies for long range and special systems like the NT-D. Well that system was a bit popular considering the response to the Unicorn series.

"Its up to you two now. Akira, Takahashi. Give it your all!"
