3 days after the teams first victory at Kishimoto Locals Tournament, the team had decided to spend the week however they wanted and split up with an agreement to meet again next weekend.
Its a Wednesday afternoon at the Takemori Arcade and the leader and manager of team Imagine Victory are working behind the counter, helping customers while talking about the teams.
“So now that your whole team has local victories under your belt, you guys are prepared for the Regional tournaments in one month. Nervous?” Takemori asked as he watched over the store.
Naoki, stacking boxes on the shelves behind them, grinded his teeth before starting. “Actually, Looking back at the tournament, I think our group might need a little more experience before the next level.”
“Oh really? I figured with skilled veterans like yourself and Kai on the team you'd feel more confident. And the non-vets are shaping up to be big players.”
“Talent can get you far. Experience can get you farther. And I’d like for my whole team to have a good amount of both. Honestly. All of them are too comfortable on the battlefield. Too capable. I need something to get them into a different mindset.”
“Hmmmm, well if you’re looking for something different,” Takemori then grabbed a poster under the counter, sliding it over for Naoki to see. “THIS would be a perfect event, plus a good chance to look for your last 7th teammate.”
“... Actually, about that. … Tomiyoka talked to me yesterday about something and there's another I’d like your opinion on.” Naoki said and for a second Takemori felt like they had just reached a high point on a roller coaster. What had happened to Tomiyoka?
Takemori POV
Sunday Takemori Arcade
@KenjuGuy@Blade17@Shiyonichi@Double
As the last of team Imagine Victory entered the room Takemori looked over the group of 5. The leader of team IV, Naoki, is missing from the meeting for good reason.
“Everyone, can I grab your attention for a moment.” I called As I tried to gather the fighters into a huddle in front of the store counter. “Naoki isn’t here today so I’ll be giving you guys the news. Theres 3 thing we need to discuss so listen up!!
“Now first things first, Team Imagine Victory will be busy next Sunday as we’ll be going west to Setogaya where we’ll be attending an Anaheim Co. sponsored Gunpla event called the Gunpla Festival. Its a unique event where competitors of all types compete in a variety of different kinds of battles and challenges. Me and Naoki talked about it and we’d like all 4 of you to participate in an event of your choosing. You can pick to team up or do an event independently we don’t care.”
As Takemori finished saying this he held out a post with information on the events going forward. A Gunpla Racing Event. A Gunpla Performance Fight. Duos Gunpla Mini Tourni. Gunpla Solo WARS Event. And lastly a Gunpla Quick Build Event..
“These are the big 5 events along with a gunpla idol showing and a couple small AI vs Human events. I’m expecting all 4 of you to participate whether it be together, separate or with outside help. And speaking of 4, someone in your group has an announcement.”
As Takemori said this, Tomiyoka who had been standing to the side lifted his hand and nervously walked up to the group of Jun, Kai, Riku and Blade. “U-umm, I’m not sure how to say this properly but … I was really happy when I was invited to join Naokis team. And even happier when you guys joined the group, and don’t get me wrong I’ve improved greatly since joining but … I .. Don’t belong here. I’m just not at the same level as you guys and it shows! How can I stand with you guys if I can’t even keep up” He finished with a sour smile before continuing.
“So … when my friend invited me to join the schools Gunpla club I decided to join. I’m not at the same level as you guys yet but I’ve decided that I’m going to start believing in myself and reach that height!!” His smile turned much brighter as a small tear formed in his eye. “S-So you guys better watch out! Because Tomiyoka of Koyaba Primary School will see you at regionals just you all wait!! And when we fight I hope I- *sniff* I hope I can show you guys how awesome I can be!!”
I couldn’t help but smile as Tomiyoka bowed when he finished that sentence. It takes alot of courage to leave your team and even more backbone to challenge your former team, especially when the team is all older than you.
“Oh, the third part of todays agenda, before I forget, is the reason Naoki is currently busy.” I took a deep breath, not really confident in my next statement. “Naoki is .. recruiting your last team members.”
Naoki POV

I stretched my arms nervously as I sat in the booth of the family style diner. A couple notebooks and my tablet in front of me as I looked over the data of the two people I was waiting to meet.
Ryuichi and Charmaine, the two mercenaries that we had fought at the Tournament. I had luckily found their contact info online and through an inside source respectively and had sent them emails asking to meet me with me. Wether they would actually show up or not I wasn't sure.
Ryuichi was a no brainer. A talented and experienced fighter with little temperament about working in a team and with no previous allegiance made for the perfect target for recruitment.
Charmaine however was a different story. I had told Takemori that I had decided to recruit him was because of his building and battling expertise but in reality I wasn’t completely honest with him.
During my fight with Charmaine I felt something. It was dark, and subtle but I saw. And if I was ever going to find out what exactly it was and why it bothered me so much I would need to fight Char again.
And the only way to guarantee that would be to keep him close.
So I continued to wait at the back of the restaurant, a coffee and cake to my side as I waited for the two of them to show up.

Does anybodies characters chill at Takemori arcade throughout the week? I kinda structured it so the "Team" canonically spends their Sundays together training/meeting but what about the other 6? Do the stop by Takemori every so often? Do they continue to go to the shop near their houses? Do they spend their off time on other hobbies?
@Double honestly thats fine. I feel like this post is a closer to the arc where everyone can get any last minute words in before the transition. I’ll probably post the next part Sunday or Monday.
Fefnir watched the shockwave move towards him and almost scoffed at the slow speed and power of it. "Am I a joke to you?" He asked as he was about to dodge only to see Enma still sitting on the ground behind him. "Oh god, MOVE!!" He yelled as he grabbed Enma and dragged the two of them out of the way of the attack.
Fefnir immediately stood back up as he aimed his blaster at the mettaur, "Stand up and don't die idiot, I can't fight and protect you all day!!!"
Enma nodded as he quickly stood up from his stop on the ground and began backing up towards the obelisk, creating distance as Fefnir charged forward, before firing a torrent of flames once he got close enough. As Enma watched Fefnir battle he looked down at the other chips he had, wondering what he could do.
"M-maybe this will help?" Activating Heat-V, Enma watched as Fefnirs free hand changed into a the shape of a cannon.
Not missing a beat, Fefnir fired off a volley of blasts and flames from his two weapons as he approached the Mettaur

Everyone I am sorry for the day (technically week) late post but here it is!!
I think the next post or two should finish up this arc and we can begin the set up for the next.

"That's right everyone, put this moment in history as the start of my team's ascent to the very top!"
I laughed as the holograms around Team I.V. began to disappear and Jun jumped before the crowd yelling. The kid was honestly a superstar without a tv show in his own right, no wonder he became a dobutsu so fast. Can’t deny that he's got charisma.
As I watched the boys disperse a bit to do their own things, I side eyed the pair of Blade and Hanako as they began to talk. I honestly didn’t really trust the girl, just because she cheered for our side doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a hidden agenda.
So, as casually as I could I leaned over to listen in. “sorry Hanako we worked hella hard on her and she got badly damaged, sorr I couldn’t keep her out of getting damaged, and she held out good for me even with the structural kink, you did good, me and Hanako will fix you up.” I heard him say. Oh, so the Snow White was a collaborative effort?
“Blade, you don’t have to be such a perfectionist.” Hanako said with a smile. “In gunpla battles, damage is inevitable no matter what level of skill you are at. Wether it be battle or wear in tear. BUT, Luckily as gunpla fighters we can still take care of our gunpla through maintenance and repair!” She said and I nodded slightly. It was good advice really, a lesson that takes alot of fighters a while to come to grips with.
Content with the fact that at the very least she wasn’t trying to throw Blade off, I decided to give the kids privacy.

As I watched my son walk over to us I was almost stunned. He was smiling, but not his same smile that he would force out when I nagged him on his well being or the small smiles I see when he works on those models. It felt like Riku was awake, fully awake and alive.
“Ri-kun you were amazing out there!!!!” Yuna screamed in excitement.
I laughed a bit before joining in. “Truly you were amazing out there Riku, I didn’t know you could make the models move that fast.”
Yuna immediately jumped in, “Or that you can shoot a bow and arrow! You were like robin hood, sniping from so far away!!! Or maybe you’re Hiroshi Yamamoto?”
“Either way,” I interrupt, ” I’m .. happy that you found this team and are participating in these competitions, you seem to be having a good time.”

@Shiyonichi
As Naoki and Kai walked past the crowd to their tables and equipment, packing up the portable work stations they had set up. “Uh, hey Kai.” Naoki asked as he began organizing the spare parts he had brought. “Whats up with that gunpla? I’ve never seen anything really like it before and believe me when I say I keep up to date on gunpla building technologies.” He said, now moving on to putting away his paint gun.
“It almost looks like a full custom build but, and don’t take this the wrong way, but i’ve never seen you build anything this complex.”
No POV … Again
@KenjuGuy
As the shark of team Imagine Victory approached Team Zenshin High as the battle ended, Jun approached Seo, "Seo,...it's like I said I'm not too different from you, so I know what's going through your head! That's why I won't condescend to you by just saying 'it was a good fight'! Instead I'll say this; Come back and face me anytime! Use that frustration to keep getting stronger! Try every trick you've got! I want it all! Because conquering tough challenges is all that I live for!"
Seo blinked, dumbfounded at the bravado of this guy and at the almost visible anger now coming from Seo at the comment, “My fustrastions?! MY. FRUSTRATIONS? My level of frustrations reaches a peak that you cannot even IMAGINE right now!!!” Seo said as he stopped off to where he had put their equipment.
As Jun was left there, a new voice came in. “Ah don’t worry about that boy, young man” And to Juns left came a spry but very old man walk up to him with his grandson. “By the way, in case you don’t recognize, I’m the guntank you shot down, and this here is my adorable grandson you shot down!” He said rubbing his grandsons head playfully.
“I just wanted to thank you for our dog fight, I hadn’t felt my blood pump like that in awhile. And that you better come by Kishimoto again to have a rematch against us!” He said with a laugh.

“Why did I even rely on you failure mercs?!!!!!!” Seos voice boomed as the group regathered to the side of the arcade. The sound of the cheering crowd thankfully muffling the sound of Seos rant. “Ryoichi you literally had half the team with you and you couldn’t take the point let alone defend it!”
Seo then pointed at Charmaine, “And you! You’re the bigger fuck up!! Not only did you disobey me! But you couldn’t even finish the job!!”
At that I could feel sympathy for both mercs. But before I could say or do anything the voice of Tanaka chimed in. “Boss you weren’t there, the ship was incredibly tough! I couldn’t put a dent in it without the thing firing back!! And not only that but the wing gundam that was guarding got a massive upgrade!!”
“Not only that,” Another voice chimed. “But they also had reinforcements that hampered the assault. In short,” Kobayashi said as he pushed up his glasses, “We were out gunned.”
“Did. I. Ask?” Seos asked slowly to the two, both of them flinching a bit.
Seos anger was practically visible.
“If its not already clear, you two won’t be getting your 20,000 yen. In fact your performance was so horrible I should be asking for my previous 20,000 back. Our business from now on is over. Goodbye.” Seo finished with a turn on his heels and preparing to leave the store, signalling for us to follow.
