Each of them represent a part of the friendship, first there was the owner of Ponyville's Sweet Apples Acres and the symbol of Honesty, Applejack, second, there was a shy and timid pony who is the animal caretaker and live in a small cottage near to the Everfree Forest as well as the symbol of Kindness, Fluttershy, next there was a pink earth pony who not only work in the Sugarcube Corner but known as the "party pony" and filled everypony with Laughter, Pinkie Pie, then there was a pegasus who live in Cloudsdale and known by her awesome speed and grace as well has a strong Loyalty to her friends, Rainbow Dash, another pony who works in Carousel Boutique as the fashion designer and high society but holds a Generosity to those who love her, Rarity, and finally there was a unicorn who once value knowledge over it but now treasure it and now descend into a alicorn and become a princess along with the Princesses of Equestria that ruled day and night together. Along with the final piece of friendship, Magic, and those who closest to her, she live in the Golden Oak Library and work as a librarian, Princess Twilight Sparkle. And ever since that time,......." "...they may find obstacle that might severe the friendship, but they always find a way to make sure that the Magic of Friendship is strong." said a unicorn finished reading his book as he close it and place near to a miniature toy of Star-Swirl the Bearded. "Kit!" came another voice from downstairs "I'm getting ready to go!" "Okay, bye!" He shouted from his room. After his mom left, he then pack his saddle bags with a checklist, books, quills, and a bunch of tools and paints and headed outside. There stand a light blue coated unicorn with a mane that is somewhat cyan view Canterlot. As the sun raise up, the castle ground of Canterlot shines as the Princess of the Sun itself : the golden castle spark like a new setting dawn as the glass windows shines brightly like jewelries come together as one radiant crystals. Many ponies start to wake up and headed to do their daily life they usual do as some ponies, possibly around his age, headed to the Canterlot Academy and some Unicorns headed to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. "Better be not late" he said "or I be cleaning the bookshelves again." Then he headed to his school as with the other groups of ponies, something caught his attention : six mare ponies talking to Princess Celestia and these mares aren't just school mares, no, they are the legendary Mane Six! Kit felt his ocean like blue coat now dripped down to a pale white as he shiver like he caught a cold as well as frozen with his pupil eyes now shrank a bit, giving a shocked look. Aw ponyfeathers! It's the Mane Six! his mind screamed Not good! Not good! Better blend with the crowds quickly! Panicking, he quickly dashed to the crowds and even the unicorns are confused by it, they simply shrugged it off and continue headed to the castle. Saw the library and being open and empty, he dashed to the front and quickly closed the doors. He then view the library as it gave a reminder of one of the mane six, Twilight once use this library and also serve as her study room. The Canterlot Library is something that can give other Equestria's Libraries a run on their bits. Books, each on types from Fiction, Non-Fiction, etc., store on the shelves on one to another and have a whimsical stair way to another shelves with adventure, history, and romance. He walk to a table and set his saddle bag on to it, getting out a cardboard with strange charts like diagram, five small bottles of paints, a plastic nippers, three shaped fillers, a sand paper, a tweezers, and a unfinished parts of a Ponyville's train model kit. With that, he levitate his sand paper and a part of the kit. "Ok, time to get started." said with his confident voice. "Look its him" one unicorn mare saw him in the windows to her friends. "You mean him, the blank flank stallion" another mare replying, with a hint of disinterest. "Why you care for him?" "It just that ever since his father left, he kept building more of model kits to hold what his father did. After all, his father is a famous model kit builder in Ponyville. Do you think we should talk to him?" "No, I don't think so, consider the fact that model kits are his life now, it's possibly that he doesn't need friends." "I guess so", she replied unsurely, as they passed on but not gave a worried gaze "still, I can't help but to leave him in this state." After that, Kit levitate it down his finished Ponyville's Train. It was identical to the real one with the match details of the colors and clean rims. He then examine it to see if any details that he did is missing, but none is missing so far. "Did it. My dad will be proud of how I did." He said with a calm voice but turn into a deep sadness "If my dad is still here....." He look on the window and gaze the new light blue skies with clouds, white and fluffy, settle on the peaceful time. "Dad, where are you?" he thoughts echoed to him. After packing his stuff, Kit then check on the paints and so far he use all of them. Then he levitate a scroll checklist with illustration of paints and different type of colors. Better get more paints. his mind sighed as he headed down to downtown of Canterlot. Most ponies begin to shop, talk, and having a meals. There's some from the rich class or "High Society" ponies came to buy one of the expensive clothes or going to a entertainment that is one of the best in Equestria. He then search around for a store that has at least a model kit paints, but , from Artistic Store to Beauty Design and so far, none of them have model kit paints or sold out the last jars of it. "Great, just great", he sigh upon defeat. "Just every art stores doesn't have any paints I needed. Guess I'll hold on until tomorrow for their restocks of it and........." A blue particles start to wave peacefully as nopony have a chance to look about except Kit. The particles start to give a warm radiant aurora around as what he thought that it might be containment upon contact to an item or anypony, it just phased through it. With a sighed, he begin to observe it about as he saw a trail of it coming to the outskirt of the city. But then if he was out of his mind that he'll might be in the prison of Canterlot, he start to hear voices of unknown beings. Strange, what pony is making these particles? And the voices? his thoughts wonder. Guess I take a look of the source of it. He follow more of the strange particles as, with his knowledge of the way of the city, follow to the outskirt and to the source of the strange phenomenon : a brand new hobby store, with what strange at first is there isn't a hobby store in Equestria and only in Neighponese. This store has a technology theme to it with strange mechanical stuff that most ponies don't have and the last thing that is new is the name : ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP. "What's a hobby shop doing here outskirt of Canterlot", he wonder. "Did Princess Celestia or Princess Luna knew about it?" He walk to it as he open it, it was something that came from it. Brand new model kits were store on the shelves nice and clean, with model kit tools on the right and the left multicolors of paints and matte glue spray too. Along with that one the far left, is display case with model kits as he walk to it, examine it and found something that set apart from ponies from around the world: each of these model kits were strange bipedal humanoid like robots that carry on the right a strange thing that has a weird circle on the top middle and on the end is a cylinder that has a strange design with a hole on the middle as for the left they carried some sort of shield but in different design. But what set them apart is their heads that the green or yellow "eyes", a v shaped fin on top of it with a red square on the middle, and a face plate that one have a two vertical lines on the middle, giving them a "mouth" design while the others have none. The other ones giving a reminiscent of a cyclops that live in Equestria years ago before ponies came into beings or the design give other mythical creatures in Equestia. The cyclops like thing had a pink eye on the middle black thing while it had some sort of gas mask with a pipe, connect to the back of the head. But what strange thing that almost set them to the first ones is it has green armor or red with one of the shoulder have a spike armor while the other have a rectangle like shield on the other. "What are these strange kits?" he wonder. "I never seen these things before." "Those, young lad, are my gundams." came a calm voice from behind. He turned and saw a earth stallion who has silver coated with a lime color mane, possibly being somewhat spiky, and mostly confusing at first is his cutie mark. His cutie mark is a robotic face, identical to the model kits, but with v shaped fin with a red shaped ruby on the middle and a yellow eyes with red markings on the face plate and two vertical lines on the middle. But what set it apart is that on the right is normal while the left is somewhat covered in the same particles that Kit followed. "Oh, sorry", Kit bowed a bit. "I'm just looking around." "No need for sorry, young lad. I'm just happy that I got my first customers." "Oh, so what are Gundams?" "Ah, to learn of my kits, eh young lad." he said."Gundams are the Neighponese's most biggest mecha franchise. They mostly caught attention to most ponies in the world, each of them have a stories from another centuries in space or in their worlds space colonies and their fractions of who they belong too. For example, the original Gundam or RX-78-2 by its code number belong to a pilot name Amruo Ray from Earth Federation Space Force in the Universal Century. And the other one, the GN-001 Gundam Exia belong to Setsuna F Seiei from the private organization, Celestial Being in the Anno Domini. But the big thing about these franchise is they actually from another world similar to our Earth as well as they actually sentient beings who they take a form of a hairless monkey but very intelligent called humans. Somehow, they actually got to Neighponese from long time ago and become a biggest thing in the world. Also to most kits are usually called 'Gunplas', short term for 'Gundam Plastic Model Kit'. And........" While he explain more of it, Kit felt a little uneasy a bit of how he explain about the Gundams in a detail way. Something tells me that this colt is a fan of this Gundams. his thoughts ranged. And a huge fan of it in a detail it way. "Ah, I get it ok?" he stopped his lecture of it before it gone too far. "They from the another world and Neighponese found it and become a huge success." "Oh, pardon me, young lad for my lecture of it." he was embarrass by it apologize, scratching his mane on the back. "It's ok. It's just I followed some sort of blue particles waves that lead me to this store." "Blue Particles?", he asked in a hint of seriousness. "Why your following it?" "It's just...." he scratching his back mane a bit, trying to come up with the words for it. "I felt something about the particles......I can hear voices of it....don't know why.... but it made me felt that it want me to follow it to here." So that's means......could he be the one....... the stallion thought about it. That does make sense consider that only chosen ones can hear the particles........ "Um.....excuse me?", he asked him, realizing that the owner is in deep thoughts. "Did I something wrong?" "Oh, not at all young lad." "You don't had to keep calling me 'young lad'.", he replied. "You just call me Kit. Kit Builder." "My name is Shop Keeper, young Kit." Guess that means that's his way of remembering names. his thoughts sighed. "Anyway, since your hear, what do you think of my collection?" He stare at the collections of his kits. He never been asked if he can rate any builders of their hobby kits, mainly because he usually don't want to hurt their feelings. Should I....his thoughts raced. I guess so, consider how well his kits are exceptional to all other model kits as well as the details too and smooth shapes. "Well", he said. "The way the details, colors, and rid of the plastic roots with the sandpaper makes the Gundams more accurate to the box arts and I'm found the Gundams to be something that nopony or nobody ever seen these kits. But seen these kits felt my heart want to build it and that's usually my thing whenever I get a kit. I do want to build my Gundam because...... I felt that they gave me something that I never knew in my life. It grant me something that I can be brave and never been in a empty shell and being loney." "Then you had my respect, young Kit." He then reached to the counter and pulled out a model kit and gave to him. "What's this?", he asked with a hint of curiosity of what he gave him. "Your own Gundam." He look at it and found it amazing about it. This kit has a illustration of a new Gundam that something that fits a hero. The first thing that this kit has is the Gundam, doing something called a "pose", looking down on the strange thing in which Shop Keeper called their weapons "Beam Riffle" and carried a shield that's attached to its arms. What he found it that could surpass Rainbow Dash is that it has blue wings with white marks on the top end before it. The head is something interesting that stands the rest of others. It has a curve v shaped fin with two more fin attached on to it where as the middle has a red square on the middle. The face have the same feature as the other ones but two circles on a vertical fashion on the left and right. The shoulder armor is very symmetrical to each other but with a detail of a yellow decal on the top left/right corners and the red armors pieces on the bottom left/right. It also had a some sort of "battle skirt" on to it with two cylinder shaped, sticking out. This kit is mostly white but with blue, red, grey and metallic sliver with it and on the background is similar to the wings on the back but transformed into a fighters that you seen in sci-fi movies. On it, the words on the top left corner is spelled "HG Build Fighters" while the others says in a what to see is Neighponese's language but there's a translation on the middle that gives a tittle of it "Gundam Build Fighters". Next, on the lower left gives a name "Build Strike Gundam Full Package" and the bottom is "Build Fighter Sei Iroi Custom Made Mobile Suit." "Build Strike Gundam Full Package?" he read it. "This is my Gundam?" "That's right, because of being my first customers, why not at least find somepony to be interested into it." "Thanks, but do I need to pay for it because, I only have 20 bits and......." "No, no. In other words, I giving this one as a gift. It's yours." Shop Keeper replied with a calm smile. Kit was surprise by it. Nopony in the store can give you something for free if you're the first customers, but he doesn't want to overboard with that idea, consider that he heard rumors of a dragon grows up upon greed. Oh he wished that dragons can grow up without that greed and be more benevolent to those who cares. He really loves dragons and heroic ones that become a savior to Equestria instead of being monsters. "T-Thank You." He take one look at this and smile of his new gift. Build Strike Gundam......his thoughts echoed. My first Gundam...... "Why you not build it here, young Kit", Shop Keeper asked. "In this store, I allow anypony to build their Gunplas in our building table. I also allow to use any paints there on the top left with no charge for it." He showed to a table room near to the cashier as with a nod, he hurried there and set his supplies down and his Gunpla too. He open the box and it was revealed to have lots of plates that listed from A-D or F as well as the numbers for it too. After separating the plates, he levitate a instruction booklet, showing the Gunpla but on the bottom is the suit itself on the left and the other, two humans that somehow piloting but it's hard for the name of those two because just like the box, it has a Neighponese's language of the description of the suit and the two pilots. He open to see more of the details of the suit. In the first page, it was illustrate with different type of Gunplas and by in his accurate guess, he see as his Gunpla is made from the 4 suits. As he kept looking more of how his Gunpla is posed and its weapons, he turned the page to see the instructions in there. The instructions of it is very well illustrate detail of the parts as he guess of how the parts are going into it and by checking the plates' letters and number of where they go, he levitate his plastic nipper and his sand paper. "Ok, let's go!", he said with another voice of confident as he begins building it. "So, the particles lead him to your store because of his hidden power that's not fully awaken?" came a voice from a strange device that Shop Keeper put on his ear outside in the back of the store. "Correct, it would seem that Mr. Builder was right." he replied. "He knew of his son's potential as a builder would lead by an origin the original builder and the original fighter." "What do they have to do with this?" "Just a hunch. All I know is that if he can unlock his true self, then maybe it's possibility that he'll become the leader of the 'twin'." "The one that's identical to the elements of harmony that you kept talking about? But that's impossible, no magic can have the same thing as the elements." "Your right, Magic can't. But Gunplas will..." Inside, Kit followed the instruction as he carefully place the parts that make the left arm on it. He use his plastic nippers to cut the gates of the shoulder armor out and again on the roots. Then he use his sandpaper to sand it down, giving a clean look. After that, he use a detail marker and detail well as the paint dried up a bit, he snap the parts into it, creating a shoulder armor for it and push the pegs that connect the arms into it and move the arm to see how it placed it. Good, just a little bit left. his thoughts ranged as he place on the right and continue focus on the legs and side skirt. In the right, the body, head and the arms are neatly completed. When Shop Keeper got back, he saw him focus on getting a pieces of the right leg, having a determine look into it and the half completed of his Gunpla. Never before seen a pony that has his father's determination. his thoughts said. You right, Mr. Builder, your son inheritance your love of model kits and his love for you. But he'll need more than that..... After placing the last pieces that's painted, he placed the ship thing in which he follow how to make into a " backpack" into the back of his Gunpla. At last, his thoughts cheered. It's completed. My Gunpla. He then levitate it down and stare at it. It was.....beautiful. his thoughts replied with happiness. The details of the blue winged jet is completed with the correct colors of it , the leftovers of the gates roots is gone and replace with a smooth sleek design, and the stickers that make for the eyes is accurate of the box art. "I see you finished your Gunpla, young Kit." Shop Keeper asked him as he view the completed Gunpla that he did. "Hmm... your building skills is quite amazing, young Kit." he praise by his hardworking of build his Gunpla. "Ah, thanks.", he replied with a rub on his head and take another look at his Gunpla. "It was amazing at building it first time and I love how it turns out." "Kit, tell me what do you do after you build your Gundam?" He thought about it before replied. "Well I might display them to my collection of my other model kits that I already finished." He pulled out his model kit of the Canterlot train and showed to him. "For this, I gonna tried to put this train into the station on my room to make it like the actual one, going to Ponyville." "Well, what if I told you that there's more to it than just building your Gunpla?" "What do you mean?" There's something more than building Gunpla? What could Shop Keeper meant by it? As if the question wasn't enough, Shop Keeper then gave him something from the cashier - a strange device that could be another thing from the future with a steel squared metal and a black screen that covers the front save for the silver circle shaped thing that could be insert a gem into it. "What is this?" he asked curious about the strange item that he received. "You need this for what I'm about to show you." he said as he begun walking to another room that is from the far right of the building table. Kit shrugged by it as he follow him. Then he saw him open a door as it was open, his eyes was gaze with astonishment by it. This room has a strange generator with a hexagon shaped and on the middle of it is a clear blue orb, rested on to it and 6 lines that makes a connection to the orb. "What's this?!", he start to quickly look at it with a great interested like how Twilight was amazed by new libraries. "What's that, Shop Keeper?" "That, young Kit is the new Plavsky Particle Generator." "Plavsky Particle?" he question about it. "You mean the particles that I followed?" "Correct, these particles are not entirely magic, but rather a technology from another world. The particles can interact with special plastic that only Gunpla have and animate them. It can also recreate the weapon effects' and the scenery of any game stage, even Equestria stages. It was recently discovered approximately 10 years ago before the Mare in the Moon incident in the Neighponese when the Gundams franchise came. In other words, it going to be like a simulated battle with your Gunpla for fun." Kit stare at it as unusually, his heart is burning like crazy like something that Rainbow Dash is always like it when there's a competition involving her athletic skills. "Let me give it a shot with my Gunpla, Shop Keeper." he said with a smile. "Very well, Kit. If you want to try it out, be my guess." PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Kit look at the strange device that the generator command and slot it into the middle. The black screen then lit up revealing words in neon blue : OPERATOR BUILDER NAME- KIT BUILDER FIGHTER NAME-KIT BUILDER GUNPLA SCALE-1/144 CLASS-HGBF MODELno.-GAT-X105B/FB NAME- BUILD STRIKE GUNDAM FULL PACKAGE BEGAN PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus, the generator activate and a multitude of bluish particles flow around and in the flash, reveal to be a familiar location...... FIELD 13- PONYVILLE Ponyville?! his thoughts screamed. He never seen that a particle can create a stage in a form of Equestrian location. Then a screen was in the middle and in a same neon blue read- GUNPLA BATTLE PRACTICE BATTLE With a surprise around him, the particles start to gather around him, creating some sort of hologram like base. "Whoa! This is incredible!" he amazed by the feature of the system did. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA He levitated it down to the middle as a miniature of the particles start to scan it and with it, his Gunpla's eyes flashed, symbolize that his is alive. My Gunpla........is alive! his thoughts screamed it again with pure excitement as the rest of the particles make into a what to seem a launch sequence. Then around him, two yellow orbs appeared on him as with a guess, he placed his front hooves on it as his Gunpla set for launched. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Let's Go!", he screamed as the docking board push it as with great speed, his Gunpla launched into the Ponyville stage. With that, his Gunpla was flying around in the hologram of Ponyville. But his Gunpla already to start go out of control and lose its attitude on air as it start to fall on to the SugarConer Cube. "Dah!" he trying to move the orbs or anything to control it but to no avail. "How do you control it?!" But it was too late as it crashed down onto SugarConer Cube as it look around the wreckage, the Cake's home is demolished. All of the gingerbread house, gumdrops, and every candy goodies were crushed. Heh..heh ..heh....his thoughts ranged with a sweatdrop on his mane. Good thing it's just a hologram, otherwise if was real, Pinkie or the Cake family will assaulted my Gunpla with cake. "Ok better to know the basic stuff." he said as with great patience, he begin to move his Gunpla around, even he crashed into other parts of Ponyville, including the Golden Oak Library. But after that, he got the hang of the basic movement. "Good, now for flying." he move the controls a bit as the Gunpla start to fly. Just like what happen, he takes time to control his movement in the skies, even crashing into Cloudsdale and the result is the same. "Nice, I get the hang of it!" he said with excitement and continue flying around, dodging the cloud homes and the WonderBolt Academy with great speed. Then, a CAUTION sign screen appear in front of him as he about to wonder what's going on, his monitor shows him in the clouds, a yellow laser is headed for him. "Yikes!" he shocked by it as he dodge it as the beam hit the academy, disintegrated it into nothingness. Sawing the academy is now into ashes, he was in shock and confused. What kind of thing can destroy it in a instant? his thoughts ranged as in the dark clouds, something come out of it. It was some sort of purple and red like legless cyclops but with claws as its legs that give a chill in his spine. It heads had some of black things, covering around half of it as it has a pink eye and a strange mouth thing that might be a cannon and a red spikes that the other one, sticking upwards. Next, it has a shoulder armor that stick upwards and it has a pair of claws, identical to the legs it has. "What is that, Shop Keeper?!" he asked him with a hint of fear. "Was that a part of a model kit?" That looks like a Hell Zeong...But in a different version.....Shop Keeper wonder about the situation. The simulator can't have those things unless.......?! his eyes widened after realize it. The Hell Zeong now fire its beam cannon from the arms at the Build Strike, but Kit manage to dodge it in time as it launch the claws as the claws now, remotely fire around him as he kept dodging the onslaught, even using the shield to block it. "Kit, whatever that thing is, it isn't register in the practice battle. You had to destroy it quickly!" "But how?!", he asked, bewilderment by it. "I didn't even get the chance to use the weapons!" Before he can get a answer, he kept dodging the beams up and down, but then, the other claws caught it in a vice grip, unable to move. "No! My Gunpla!!!" he shouted as he trying to move to break free, but no avail as the Hell Zeong prepare to fire it mouth beam. No.....my Gunpla.....it's going to.....be decimated......his thoughts now locked in fear as well his body too as the beam started to increase higher. NO....Somepony....Anypony....... Then the beam now ready to fire as in slow motion it fire as he close his eyes for his defeat. "HELP ME!!!!!!" he screamed as without a notice, a blue light engulf the build strike gundam, protecting it from the beam attack, causing the claws to lose its grip, and engulf Kit. When he open his eyes, he saw that he was in a white place, sparkle by other colors of the particles. He begin to look around of his new surrounding to see if Shop knows about it, but so far, he wasn't here. "You ok, kid?" a voice echoed, like a sound of a young colt. "Yeah, what happen?" "Your in the heart of the battle, kid." another voice was heard, this time it was another young colt, but has a personality similar to Rainbow Dash. Then, he saw something that might broken the Equestria physiology : two bluish particles spirits, one light blue and one light red descend to him as it materialize into a energies that gave shaped of two humans, but he can't tell about because of the brightness. "Who are you guys?" "Just some people to help those who in trouble." "Oh", he wonder about the spirits' nature. "Why did you came to me?" "We heard your cried for help when your start playing Gunpla Battle against the Hell Zeong Terror. Even if your a newbie, we can't turn back on those who need help, even in Gunpla Battle." "Yeah, I just started because I was known to be a best model kit builder in Equestria and the Gunpla is another thing I was intrested. But...", he knows that he need to tell the whole thing to them. "The reason I got into it is because, it show me that I can face any challenge without hesitation and to never to be afraid of who you are." He hoped that the spirits understand him of his love of Gunpla, but after a few minute, the red spirit said, "Don't worry, if you truly love Gunpla with all of your heart, then we will not hesitated." With that, the two spirits flashed and illuminated the field, causing him to shield his eyes. Once that done, he saw that he was back into his Gunpla Battle as his Gunpla was safe. Then, somehow, the two spirits now descend into his body and before he know it, he was cover in a dual light blue and light red and his eyes now in also the same colors as the aura. Shop Keeper was amaze by the phenomenon that Kit was in the state now. Those auras...could that means they're....?! his mind raced with astonishment by it. "Let's go, kid!", Kit's voice sounded like the red spirit. "Right!" his regular voice replied with confident as he and the two spirits, control his Gunpla as the Hell Zeong Terror fire is remote beam, but the build strike dodge fast as with the red spirit, he fire the beam riffle and shot the legs claws, destroying it instant. "Here it comes!" his voice now sound of the light blue spirit. "Ok!" (red) With that, they charged at the attacker as it kept firing the beams to halt it, but it kept dodging it as with quick reflex, the build strike fire its beam riffle again at the claws, destroying it again, leaving it defenseless as the build strike grab its beam saber for the final blow. "Your finished!" the red spirit screamed as the monster about to fire the mouth beam, the build strike stab it, halting it and slash it the body in half, vanquish the monster once and for all. BATTLE ENDED With that the stage's particles suddenly descend into him again as with shock and confuse by these events, it did something to his blank flank : the particles start to descend it and creating an image. Once that's done, the particle start to flash around and disappeared, reverting back to normal as well as his Gunpla drop down to the generator. "Whoa! What just happened?" confused by it as he take a quick look at his once blank flank, but now a cutie mark appeared. It has the same image of the build strike but it what's similar to the Shop Keeper's flank is that the left engulf in the Plavsky Particles. "Where did this come from?" "I knew it.", Shop Keeper said with a hint of being right. "Knew what?" Kit was a little agitated. "What's going on? What are those spirits? Why did that monster attack me for no reason?! Are you hiding something from me?!" "I guess if you want your answer, you had to wait by tomorrow, young Kit." "But-" "Look, I know your surprise by it too as if was lying, I say I was too. Beside, it's going to be night time soon. I had to close my shop soon." After a few deep breaths, he nod by it, "All right, but don't forget it." After packing his stuff, he take a quick gaze on his Gunpla and put in the box and store it in his saddle bag. "Well, good night, see you after school." With that, he gallop way back home as he begin to stare into the starry stars. The stars shines beautiful like the milky galaxies that dance on the outer space. "At least, the stars kept me going....." Episode 2 - The Two PoniesEpisode 2 - The Two Ponies In a unknown darkness abyss, Kit was looking around for any signs but so far only nothingness is what he found. He then saw a bright neon pillar blue light was descend down to the abyss, waiting for anypony to come ford. With his curiosity take over, he walk forward to it as he got near to it, he felt his newly cutie mark reacted to it as wonder if he want to do it, he touch the pillar, causing it to flash out more of the same Plavsky Particles as with that, the scenery transform from the darkness abyss into a gleaming galaxies with billions of stars and milky way. "Whoa! This is incredible!" his voice echoed, which repeat it until it dies away as he gaze the beauties of space. I read about space, galaxies, and anything that involves anything beyond our home but this.......takes beauty to a whole new level. His mind was filled with excitement about it as a bright light flash as two familiar silhouette was headed for him. The shapes is very....bipedal.....taller than anypony except Princess Celestia or Princess Luna. However, just like the spirits, their bright respective neon colors made it harder for him to get a better look at it while he shield his eyes. "It's you two....." he wonder about them. But before he can asked them more, everything start to illuminate the scenery as a bright flash happened. A sunlight hit his left eyes, stirring him from his deep sleep as he woke up, he found back into his room. His room is very well cleaned with a upper shelves on top of his wall, giving his display of Ponyville's most famous ponies from the pre-classic era, including a well detailed Star Swirl the Bearded. Next between it are the well made detailed model kits of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and finally next to it is his first Gunpla, the Build Strike Gundam Full Package, pose as looking down the barrel of its beam riffle thanks to the GB base that act as a action base. "What was that about?" his mind wonder of the strange dream he's in as he use his magic to open the curtains, the sun shines as another new morning brighten Canterlot. He began to view the town's usual daily life as on the far left that he turn, saw the town of Ponyville. At least, the Ponyville that the Gunpla Battle didn't cause a chain reaction to it. his mind sighed of relief of what happen last night. "Kit!" his mother called from downstairs. "Going to pick up some food for dinner!" "R-Right!" he headed down stairs as his mother got her supplies, from parchment scroll, a 100 bits, and keys to the house. His mother has a gentle aura eyes that remind of Princess Celestia, her mane has somewhat similar to Fluttershy but with a shorter bangs and a azure too it. Her coat has a ocean blue that give anypony a view of a beautiful beach in the summer time. "Going to make a special meal for this week?" "Would that be Fried Hay?" "Apple Stir Fried." "Huh?!" he exclaimed in disbelief about it. Sure, he's ok with apples that are sweet but to make a stir fried is very strange. It gives out a Sweet and a zesty flavor with her cabbage, fried eggs, and cinnamon. "You said that my Apple Stir Fried is a unique, is that right?" she start to tease him about it. "Y-Yeah." he stammered a bit, hopefully that he don't hurt her feelings about it as she about to go outside to do her shopping list. "Be good in school, Kit! Oh, one more thing, I got a package for you by a strange pony by the name of Shop Keeper." she gave a brown box to him before she leave. That hit his mind. Shop Keeper gave me a package? How does he know of where I live? So many question left being unanswered by him. First there was a Gunpla kit, then a simulated battle, and the strange particles gave him a cutie mark in the form of his build strike gundam. Oh well....his thoughts gave in about this events. Better to see what he gave me. He tear the box as before he know it, he was completely confused. Inside is a miniature of a saddle bag that has a clip, judging that it can clip to his saddle bag and 4 new model kit tools along the sides. Behind it is a note as he levitate it was read- 'For your Gunpla and your GB base to take you anywhere. Shop Keeper.' Realize the spaces, that he take a carefully look at it, allow him to store his Gunpla and take it whenever he goes, he decided to test it out as he hurried upstairs to his room, he separate it and with carefully put the wings into 'docking' mode and the rest stand up straight, he place there as it slide down perfectly as well as the GB base too. "Ok, better to get there in time." he said as he hurried to get to school on time, even grab any food from the fridge as his quick breakfast. Meanwhile, out of nowhere, a crimson coated pony with a dark blue sunglasses was laying down on the rooftop of the Canterlot castle, staring the view from upside down. "Ah, it always amaze me every time!" he said with a chuckled. "Every where in this place have ponies around them! How many times it get better than Arian and Japan places?" "Hey!" came a voice as he saw a royal guard in the courtyard. "What the hay are you doing there?! Get down there before you get hurt!" "Don't worry, old colt!" he got backed up as stand on his hind legs, he use his right legs to feel the wind. "Old colt?! In case of you don't know, I'm only 25!" he shouted back at him. "Anyway, get down! Get down!" But to no avail as the crimson pony felt the wind and smiled as if the wind told him, he take off his sunglasses as his amber eyes was showed as he look at what the wind blew. "I decide where to go!" "Eh?! Kit finally got a cutie mark?!" one of the stallion exclaimed about the gossip. Somehow, everypony started to gossip about Kit's sudden cutie mark. "Yeah, it's was surprising at first, but it's looks like that the blank flank now finally got it." one of his friends surprise by it. "So any idea what's his talent is?" "That's the thing about it. His cutie mark is very.....unusual." "Unusual? Cutie mark may have unusual design but each of them have of what talent the ponies are good at! So why it's unusual?" "Because......" But before he can say, the two ponies saw him as they already got his answer. Everypony around start to stare at Kit's cutie mark with mix expression of confused, disturbed, or wonder. Ok why in Celestia's sake are staring at me? his thoughts confused by this revelation as he quickly walk quickly to his class to ease this disturbing event, unoticed that he bump into somepony. "Ow!" he rubbed his forehead a bit as his stuff was dropped down from his saddle bag. Saw his stuff was scattered around, he quickly pick it up. "Sorry, I didn't see you there. Hope that I didn't hurt you or..." Before he can say more, his eyes were upon who he bumped into : a purple alicorn that he already familiar with the history of his book, Heroes of Equestria, now standing in front of his eyes, Princess Twilight Sparkle. "It's ok, I guess you got something in your mind." she giggled by his distraction. But before she can ask him if he needs help on getting the rest of his stuff, she saw that his ocean blue coat now replaced with pale white and having a complete shock as he gotten a stage fright, something that Fluttershy once had before or seen a ghost. "Are you ok?" However, he quickly got his stuff and past her and hurried to his class, leaving her confused by his strange action. Did I did something wrong to him....? Her thoughts wonder of his peculiar action as she heard more gossip of other student, talking about him. "Oh princess, it's a honor to come here." one of the student says as the rest of the students bowed to her. "Please you don't had to do this every time I'm here." she said with embarrassment by it. "I was wonder what's all of the gossiping?" "Well, it's about Kit Builder's cutie mark." "Kit Builder? You mean the son of Model Builder, the famous Ponyville's model kit builder?" "The one and the same." "Ok, so why are you talking about him?" she wonder about it. "Judging how you guys talking about him, I say that he's very uncomfortable about it." "It's about his cutie mark." "You mean to tell me that the reason you and the rest of the students start gossip about him is because he finally got his natural talent?" "No that's not it. What I'm about to say is isn't possible for magic to do it and only one guess : his cutie mark was encoded by a technology from another world. In other words, his cutie mark is created." After a brief silence, she sighed of how naive the two stallions prediction. "Listen, I don't know if you guys read too many comic books, but a artificial cutie mark is impossible. It only comes when anypony find their true talent." "I guess..." "Now at least you guys should stop with all of this gossip about him.", she strictly said, acting more like the princess. "Yes ma'am." they all said in unison as they headed back to their classrooms. After that, most of the ponies began to walk to their respective classroom when the bell ranged. She sighed as she look at the direction that Kit headed. Kit.......her mind echoed with wonder about him. She had heard from Lyra Heartstring about his father being a best model kit builder before the Mare in the Moon incident. But just before her coronation as a princess, his father went on a world travel for unknown reason and never came back. Believe that his father is gone, he shut himself in front of everypony and continue spending through out the day building model kits to honor of his father. However, that causing him to be friendless and mostly being a loner but she also surprise that he always want to be friends to her and her friends consider that he view them as heroes but for some reason, he kept avoid them and scared of them. "Kit, if you want us to become your friends to cleanse of your loneliness of your loss.........", she said with a sympathy tone. ".......why you kept avoiding us?" She then headed back to the train station to ride back to Ponyville. Meanwhile, after school, Kit headed to the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP to finally get the answer that happen yesterday as he open the door, he was in for a surprise visit - a pink filly with a crown hence the cutie mark and another filly that wears glasses with a cutie mark that has a silver spoon was demanding something from Shop Keeper. "What do you mean that somepony already had it?!" The pink filly was furious at something that really tick her off. Who are these fillies.... he wonder about them, then he realize those two fillies from before. Wait! These are the fillies that mostly the snobbish group in Ponyville school! Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon! "Like I said, young diamond." Shop Keeper said, remaining his calm personality. "The kit you want so badly is in good hooves by a young colt who will become a build fighter." "A build fighter? Yeah right!" Silver Spoon scoffed by his reason. "Nopony in Equestria have beaten us strongest fighters!" "Now, listen here, mister! You better tell me of who got the rarest Gunpla that I been searching for!" Those two are into Gunpla?! his thoughts now whacked by this event. Things got crazy when I got into it. But what Gunpla are they obsessed with so much? "I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is that he'll become the champion of the world tournament." "All right, stop playing games with us! Now tell us where is the Build Strike Gundam Full Package!?" Those words hits him like a meteor. Build Strike Gundam Full Package?! Those snobbish fillies are after my first Gunpla?! His mind screamed about this situation. He was utterly shocked about it, but he shake the uncertainty as he kept his mouth shut a bit, trying not to interfere with this situation. If those fillies are fighters, then if I faced them with my Gunpla, I might lose it! "I already told you, the build fighter don't just pick the Gunpla." Shop Keeper still retain his cool. "The Gunpla choose the build fighter. In other words, it match to those who connect their heart with it." "That's it!" Diamond Tiara shouted back at him. "If you don't give the name of the colt who have the Gunpla that I want, I'll tell daddy to close!" Close the Shop?! That's unfair! his mind screamed about it. Shop Keeper first came to Equestria to open a hobby shop here in Canterlot to hope to promote Gunpla and now these fillies are about to end it?! The anger in him rage him like a raging buffalo that want to ram into those who provoke it. "You can't do that!" he raised his voice, caught the fillies and the owner attention. "And who you suppose to be?!" Diamond Tiara gave him a dirty look on him. "Kit. Kit Builder." "Oh, so the son of Model Builder is here to defend the old colt's shop?" Silver Spoon did the same thing she put up to him. "Listen, just because there's a model kit that is sold out doesn't mean you can officially close the shop!" he protest it. "Shop Keeper build this store so he can promote Gunpla all around in Equestria! Don't you girls care of how hard he work to achieve his dream?!" "As if! My daddy owns this hobby store and if there is something that doesn't satisfied what I want, I had the power to automatic close this shop!" Diamond Tiara said with a uncaring glance. "Not only that, but we been searching for the rarest Gunpla that's a stock build meaning that's a few Gundams that only came from the Build Fighter arcs!" , Silver Spoon added to her statement. Build Fighter arcs? My Gunpla is a stock build that only a few that ever seen? he thought about it. It did make sense, that there is some items that haven't build or came out in public. But what's a build fighter arcs? "So are you going to fight for the old colt's shop?" Diamond Tiara reached out a similar miniature saddle bag and take out a Gunpla that look like a purple cyclops with a beam sword and a shield. "Or you can run home to your mommy?" He take a quick glance to his miniature saddle bag that contain his Build Strike Gundam Full Package. I haven't gotten much training in Gunpla Battle and if I lose with my Gunpla, I might lose more than my Gunpla. But still, I can't let those snobbish fillies get a way with it! After taking a few breaths, he said with a determination "Fine let's battle. But I need to borrow Shop Keeper's Gunpla first." "You want to borrow one of mine, young Kit?" Shop Keeper gave a surprise look. "Yeah ", he said " I want is that one next to X one." He then open his display case and gave him the one the kit. It has a distinct feature of a winged bird hybrid with a large beam riffle (Shop keeper called it a Buster Riffle) and a red shield that give a reminiscent with a green gem on the chest. Now he hope he can fight that spoiled rich brats to save this store. He might still be in training but even so he had to fight them with or without training. PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both fighters set their GB base as just like yesterday their info of their Gunpla appear in the screen. BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus the particles start to simulate a stage and in a bright flash......... FIELD 3- FOREST Spring season huh? his thoughts about it when the pink flowers flew away as the particles create a 'base' for them. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA Both set their Gunpla as their Gunplas came to 'life' with their eyes flashed. Both fighters stand on their hind legs for their front hooves to connect to the yellow orbs as the particles create the launch sequence. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Wing Gundam, Let's go!" "Diamond Tiara, Gyan, Here I come!" Both units launched out of the docking sequence as with the Wing Gundam, it landed graceful on the ground, looking down on the barrel of its buster riffle, ready for battle. Then, a CAUTION sign appear to Kit with the right arrow blinking faster, meaning that the enemy is coming from the right as he turn to the right, the Gyan jumped from the forest as it prepare to strike him, but the Wing Gundam managed to blocked it using its shield. However, it began to push him, giving him off edge as it kept thrusting its beam saber repeatedly to shield with brute force. Damn her reflex are too fast to keep up with movements! his mind reeled with the situation, doing his best to keep up the defense. "So is this all you can do as a fighter?" she taunting him for his slow defense. "How pathetic!" She push him with great force causing him to move backwards, but he manage to still stand as he throw it buster riffle and open its shield compartment and grab its beam saber as it charges at it and clash its saber against it as sparks clash one after another. But the Gyan then charge it back causing him to lose it focus as it cause his beam saber to slip up as with that, the Gyan thrust it at the gem hole, breaking it and the kit, causing it to explode. BATTLE ENDED Kit was shocked by it. He failed to stop the snobbish girls to close down the shop, and he failed to save it for Shop Keeper. Even though he want answer of the yesterday battle, he still consider to be a friend to him. Worst, his Gunpla was impaled by the brutality of her fighting. It means that her skills is cold and ruthless. As the particles and the stage faded away, he saw the damaged of the Wing Gundam. No....I couldn't......I.......I........his thoughts now starting to break into pieces. "Ha! That what you get for facing us strongest fighters!" she start to gloated of her skills. "Yeah, your nothing but a newbie into Gunpla Battle!" Silver Spoon taunting him, looking sad at the destroyed suit. "Now as I said, by tomorrow your store will closed down when I go here again, so unless you don't want to lose it, you better get me my rarest Gunpla!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walk out of the store, laughing at the battle. After a brief silence, Kit handed back the Wing Gundam to him. "Sorry about your Gunpla. I'm responsible for it and if I had to pay for a new one....." "Don't worry, I got extra parts for it." His calm personality still remains the same. "But what I don't get is why didn't use your Build Strike Gundam?" "Because I'm afraid that I lose it if I lose this battle." he turned to his miniature saddle bag. "And even if I lose it, they might close the store." "Kit, sometimes as fighters, we need to have the courage to fight the challenges that even have the risk to it." "Yes, but I don't know if I had that courage. Not even when I fought alone the monster before the two spirits help me." he muttered as he exit the store, depressed by the battle and now losing something that's important to him. As the sun goes to the dusk, the park in Ponyville still have ponies doing their daily base like talking, playing, watching, etc. However Kit sat down his haunches and still depressed, thinking about how might it been if he won the battle using his Build Strike Gundam. No, I don't had the skills like the two spirits have! his thoughts screamed. If only I was brave enough and faster, I would able to stop the snobbish fillies. And it's my fault because Shop Keeper is going to lose his business! His eyes start to watered a bit, showing a little bit of tears even though he tried to wipe it out. Dad, if only if I'm like you. Brave, Courageous, and Noble to those around everypony. "Hey your ok, kid?" came a voice from the left as he turn to that direction, was a earth pony with what strange this is his peach coat with a blue mane match to his tail and the way his mane give out a younger colt look and on his neck is a green gem identical to the one on his cutie mark. "Well, not really." he said with his honesty. "My friend's business is going to close down by the snobbish rich brats because of me got a rare model kit by my friend's choosing and I couldn't stop them because I was scarred." "Oh, I'm sorry about it." he sincerely apologize to him. "Your friend must work hard from making that store." "Yeah, I guess..." his mind still deeply sadden by it. "Hey, Sei!", another voice was heard this time with brash attitude as both turn to the right and saw a crimson pony with a normal red mane and a sunglasses on top of it But what strange is that he wearing the same gem necklace and the same cutie mark as the blue mane pony in which his name is Sei. "Got some food for us! Here!" he throw an apple to him as he catch it, despite slipping quickly. "Thanks, Reiji." "So what's wrong with this guy?" he might asking him about him, taking a bite to it. "Well, he tried to defend his friend's business from the snobbish brats, but because he was scarred, he unable to stop them from closing down." he explained to him also taking a bit to the apple as the crimson pony, known as Reiji, came to him. "Hey, kid." he bent down to his level and Kit look at him. "Don't let your fear take you over, no matter how hard and scary your path might been, you need to face those challenges around you." That something like how Shop Keeper once said to me. he thought about what he said and begin to think it over. I guess I had to do it in order to save Shop Keeper's shop. "I'll keep that in mind, thanks." Then his stomach begin to growl a bit, causing him to be embarrass by his hunger. "You want some? It's good.", Reiji offer some bit of his apple. "No thanks." "All right." he turned to leave. "See ya." Then, a orange hoof screech and stomp down grabbing his left legs that holds the apple. The one who did was an orange earth pony mare with a freckles and a yellow mane that ties in a 'ponytail' including her tail. The other thing she has was her cowboy hat and a cutie mark with three apples. Wait three apples? his thoughts ranged. That means that this is the owner of Ponyville's Sweet Apple Acres and the symbol of Honesty, Applejack! "Gotcha y'all little thief!" she accuse to Reiji, giving out a angry glare, and shocked both Sei and Kit about it with him not amused by it. "Oi, now you can't walk to ponies and call them thieves!" "Yeah right! You stole some of m'ah apples from my farm!" This confuse him as he take a quick glace at the bitten apple. "This?" Flashback "I just walking around in town and saw those apples trees, so I took some for me and my friend, that's all." He was walking around and caught a glimpse of an apple orchards, in which he got a hunger smile into it. "WHAT?!" both of them exclaimed, giving out a shocking expression by his naivety of taking the apples from the apple trees. "That's property of Sweet Apple Acres!!! I can't let you take those apples unless you pay for them!!!" "Then put somewhere else where it's safe, country hick!" "COUNTRY HICK?!" she exclaimed, tick out by that name. "How dare you be so brazen!!!" Watching them fighting, Kit and Sei saw other ponies watching them arguing, whispering and starting to know if they had to find a Royal Guard. "I'm gonna buck you for that and take you to the Royal Guards!" Applejack threaten him. "What?!" Realize that it's going to make this worst if they start bucking each other, Kit stand up quickly and confront them. "Please stop, Ms. Applejack!!!" She then at glare at him first, but quickly give a surprise glance at him. "Wait are you....?" "I'm sure that he didn't meant to steal those apples. I pay for those this time." Both Sei and Reiji were surprise by his actions as he pay for those apples, ponies now starting to leave as the dusk now changing to the starry nights, both of the ponies sat down at the benches. "Reiji, this is what happen when you and I first met in Japan." "Yeah, sorry about that, Sei." "Don't worry about it. I'm just hoping that the other one is feel bad too." Then, Kit came back as he levitate three apple ciders to them with a smile on top of that. "Here, you guys might be thristy." He place it down to their side on the benches. "Thanks", both said in unison as they grab it and all three of them drinking it but Reiji then felt something that made him spats out. "What is this?! It feels funny into my mouth." "You guys never had apple cider before? Well, you guys are lucky because they're one of the kind that you can get at the Sweet Apples Acres in Ponyville." "But it taste good." He then drinking it with both of them finished it, they sighed with happiness of their first taste of apple ciders. "Wow, that's sweet!" "And refreshing!" Kit smile at them, feeling that they enjoy it so much as he look at the beauty of the stars. The stars now twinkle like a diamond crystal as he remembers something that he and his dad usually do back when he was a filly. His dad usually show him the beauty of the nights as first that he read that because of Nightmare Moon want to put it in eternal night, he was scare of going outside at night. But his dad told that even in the night sky, there is a little lights called star that said to grant lights in the darkest time. So as long there is the night, the stars will twinkle it to make sure that it'll warm those fillies with light, so they enjoy the starry skies of the night. Princess Luna created it after she was free by the elements of harmony as he believe that everypony should never ignore the beauty of the nights. "Sorry about my friend. He did the same thing when we first met." Sei apologize to him, snapped him out of his trance and glance at him. "Yeah sorry got you guys into trouble." Reiji scratch the back of his head, embarrass by his naivety. "Don't worry, you guys might come from overseas and move to Equestria so guys don't know much of Ponyville," he said never bother by it. "We ponies should at least help each other whenever they're need." Surprise by his words, Sei nodded at Reiji in which he nod it back, realize that something would Sei would say during the time they met each other. Then, both of them stand up as they face him. "Don't worry, we'll pay you back. That's our promise." "You don't have to..." "We need to otherwise it might stain our honor from ponies from Japan." Wow, guess they both exaggerated, his mind said, giving a embarrass smile. Then, Reiji holds a green gem with a string wrapped it around it giving the form of a necklace identical to the ones they're wearing. "Here, we give you this." "What this? A gem?!" He wave his hooves in disbelief as he said, "Sorry I can't take that expensive!" "Don't worry, it's just a rock." Sei reassure him as Reiji gave to him. "What's your name?" "Oh, Kit. Kit Builder." "Sei. Iroi Sei." "I'm Reiji." "Iroi Sei and Reiji." he said, hopping to remember their names as both pick up their empty bottles and starting to walk backwards. "Whenever in doubt or trouble, just make a wish on that rock." Kit take a quick glance and holds a confuse expression to what they meant by it. "At anytime your in a situation that you can't overcome, we'll be running there to help you there and overcome it together." Both of them threw up their bottles as the bottles landed perfectly to the trash can and face him with a promise assure to him. "That's our promise. Our vow." Reiji and Sei show their own green necklace in which shines brightly. Kit surprise by their service to help him in case of any hard situation. He scratch the back of his head, having a nervous smile. "Wow, thanks, you guys are much like super....." ".....heroes." In a instant without a trace, the two ponies are gone. He stand up a bit and look from left to right to see them but so far no luck. "Where they go?" In Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns at morning in the library, Kit read some of the books about Star Swirl the Beaded for his history class as he place the book in the table as he levitate some parchment scroll and his quill, using it for his note taking for the test next week. He now wears the green gem that the two ponies, Sei and Reiji gave him as he stop writing, he take a quick glance into it, wonder about the promises that these ponies going to do. Then, without notice, another pony take a seat next to him as he look, he's shock by who's next to him. "Hey, there." Twilight greeted him as with his shyness take over, he grab his stuff as he tried to leave quickly,only for her to walk with him. "Wait! You don't had to be afraid of me." she tried to assure him but didn't work by him starting to pick up the pace to headed to the next class as he reached it, he open the door as he about to leave. "Kit! Please listen, I just want to be friend to you." That words hit him, stopping him from enter the class. He completely loss for words. The princess of Equestria wants to be friend to me? But why? his thoughts now confuse by it. Then he close the door and shyly, look at her. "Why?", he quietly question her. It's not normally for her to be friend to him. But what reason? She got good friends in Ponyville so what's the point of her trying to be friend to him? "We can talk outside if you like about how me and my friends know you. Just the two of us.", she gestured to the front door. She and the others know about me? But who told them and why? Guess I find my answer first. his thoughts suggested after all of the question running through his head as he nod in approval to go outside with her. It was then that after a few conversation that he realize that Lyra Heartstring, a friend of his dad, told her everything about how he obsessed with building model kits to escape his grief of losing him and to honor him and how he was afraid of meeting up with them consider of their past adventures because of how he believe that he'll be a waste to them. She understand of how much it meant to him to be friends to them because of how lonely that he was in after losing his father as well as the others too. His mind realize that back in the time, Applejack recognize him when he almost going to buck Reiji. "Kit, if you like, me and the others will be your friends." she offered her friendship to him, which caught his surprise glace at her. "I just don't want you to be lonely. Your dad won't want you to be in this state." After a few thoughts, glance down at the ground, he face to her and pulled a shyly smile. "Thanks you, princess." "Please, just called me Twilight." she giggled for his formality of address to her. He smile back at her, something that he never actually did. He now finally did it. He's a friend to his idols, the Mane Six! He only hope that when he meet Lyra, he want to thank her for everything she did. Then, his mind realize that he need to get to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP fast. He had to do one thing to save it. "I got to go, Twilight!" he starting to quick his running pace to the entrance of the school. "Wait, where are you going?" she shouted to him. "To help somepony!" However, it was too late as Kit now left the school, leaving her by herself, confuse by his unusual action. She then began to wonder if something happen in Canterlot that he might know that he need to skip his school day to help it. After pacing from right to left, to directions of places, he finally made it to the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP as he rush in, he saw the two fillies starting to force Shop Keeper to sign something and by his guess it meant the shop is going to be close soon. "STOP!" he raised his voice to catch their attention and it did to them. "It's you again." Diamond Tiara sneered at him. "If you going to defend it from us, think again! We now had to make sure that he's going to sign it to close down this dump. And to make sure he did......" She pointed to the window as he take a peek into it, there was a wrecking ball waiting outside along with other construction ponies too. "Those boys going to make sure that if any refusal, they'll tear this place down.", Silver Spoon explained to him. "Your not going to destroy this shop!" he said with a determination to them. "Why is that? You lost the battle yesterday so what you make you going to fight us again?" Then, he reached out his miniature saddle bag and pull out his Build Strike Gundam, surprising both of the fillies with disbelief expression. "Because I had what you want it." "You! All this time, the Gunpla I been searching for is now in your hooves the whole time?!" she exclaimed with a glare to him with her eyes now filled with dagger knifes. "You and I going to battle again and this time, for my Gunpla!" he challenge her."If I win, you let Shop Keeper keep his shop and his business!" "And what if I win?" "You can have my Gunpla at another thing, leave this store out of it." "Kit, are you crazy?!" Shop Keeper asked him in disbelief. "That Gunpla is the symbol of you!" "I know but," he sighed about it. " I won't let you loose something that's important to you." After a few minutes, Diamond Tiara smirked at him, for his brave nature. "Fine, it's a deal. But your going to be sorry again for challenge me!" With the construction ponies halted out for a battle, both fighters now set between the Plavsky Particle Generator. PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both set their GB base as their information was seen in the screen. BEGAN PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL The particles start to simulate and change into....... FIELD 2-DESERT Thus the particles start to create the 'base' for them. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA "Please lend me your strength, Build Strike." he muttered as both fighters set their Gunpla down as just like before, their eyes flash and the particles set for them on the launch sequence. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Let's go!" As both Gunpla launched into the battlefield, both units now on the middle face off, similar way to country ponies. "Now, what she'll do?" he preparing himself and to much surprise, the Gyan disarm both the beam riffle and the shield. "She disarm her weapons to face him in equal terms?" Shop Keeper wonder. "That's not it old colt." Thus the Gyan pulled out its Beam Saber as it pointed to him in fencing style. "I don't want him to make excuses when I'm beat him and claim my prize!" The Gyan thrust to attack him but the Build Strike dodge it out of the way. But somehow once it landed, Kit struggle a bit to make it stand as the Gyan reappear from behind. "I got to admit this Gunpla is fast all right." she said. "But your reaction is slower than the last time. That's a sad reality!" The Build Strike pulled its beam saber to counter it, but just like before, it repeatedly slash with brute force that cause the beam saber to fall out stumble to the ground to the corners of the mountains, dragging to the edge of the stadium, evidence by the particles start to deform at first but reform it back. "I don't want to damage that rare Gunpla, so I throw it off the field!" Diamond Tiara said as she corner him, starting to walk slowly to finish the battle. Looking around to escape but so far none, Kit began to gritted his teeth for the end to come in the battle. No place to fly or to dodge...... what do I do......? I can't lose....not now......his thoughts struggle for the outcome. I don't want to lose my Gunpla and let down my friend.........I wish I had the strength........to fight back........please........ As the Gyan come closer, it starting to reached its hand. Darn it! It's over! he closed his eyes for his end. "Don't give up!" came two familiars voices shouted back ,causing to open his eyes. Suddenly, two hooves press on his right, pushing the control as they said in unison, "Go forward!!!" That cause the Build Strike to push it back the Gyan with great force that even surprise Diamond Tiara as the Gyan knee down a bit as Kit then saw those who help them. "Sei, Reiji, you guys...." "You made a wish. That's why we came." They show their crystal necklace now glow with orange like flow as he look as his necklace as it glow the same thing as the others. "Kit, we made a promise to help." Reiji push him back as he take control. "We'll fight in your place." "Huh? But don't you guys know how to control my Gunpla?" "Leave it to us!" he then starting to randomly control it in turn his Gunpla starting to move randomly too. "What are you doing to my Gunpla?!" he exclaimed with a freak out expression. Who are those two ponies? Are they friend to Kit? Shop Keeper wonder as he watch him freak out by his randomly controls. Then the Gyan stand up as it pulled its beam saber. "Unbelievable, Kit. Now your going to let those two amateurs control your machine?" she starting to breakout into a rage. "I had enough of it....that Gunpla......", she now shouted back at him. "It supposed to be mine!" She then charges at them in which the Build Strike duck to the other side and round kick back at her, surprising everypony. "Ok, now we got it!" Reiji said with a confident voice as the Build Strike Gundam now ready to fight back. "Don't mess with me!" As the Gyan start to stab and slash it back, the Build Strike dodge it as kick and a uppercut back at it, causing the Gyan to drop its beam saber. With that, the Gyan hover out of it while the Build Strike chase after it. Those movements are the same as the original builder and the original fighters. he thought about it then realize with a hint of surprise while watching the two ponies now able to control it better. Could that mean they're.....? The Gyan pick up its discarded weapons as it start to aim its shield at the Build Strike. "I won't accept it. I won't accept defeat from you guys!" The shield fire its needle missile at it, but the Build Strike able to dodge to left as the missiles explode on the mountain range. "Kit, does it has beam saber?" "Yeah, on slot 3." Reiji then press the button as he chose it, the Build Strike Gundam grab it from its left skirt as it now charges at the Gyan. "Got it!" The Gyan kept fire repeatedly but the Build Strike able to hover and dodge from left to right with a elegant movement which surprise Kit by it. Those are the same movements that the spirits help me. he thought about it the time when those spirits help him defeat the Hell Zeong Terror as with quick movements, dodging the last bullet which explode from the canyon. Could that mean they're......?! "No.....no....no.....", she starting to quiver in fear. "Who the hay are you two?!" With the speed of sound, the Build Strike Gundam now deliver the final blow to the Gyan. "LET'S GO!!!!!" both of them screamed, causing Kit to look at his Gunpla now......finally slash the Gyan in half as with explosion now consume the Gyan as the Build Strike now become the victor. BATTLE ENDED [One Half (Nibun no ichi) music begin] "My Gunpla........", he stunned by the battle, but grew a smile at the end as the particles now deformed . "It won!" I'm not alone, because our hearts are connected. Just that make me want to take a step toward tomorrow After that, the Gyan now in pieces, shocking both of the fillies. "No way....my Gunpla....I lost....", Diamond Tiara whimpering and knee down for her defeat as Silver Spoon tried to calm her down. Let's connect all of the colors of our dream and create a rainbow that shines with brilliance on the sky above us "That was an excellent battle, young Kit. Congratulation!" Shop Keeper praise by him. "Thanks, but it wasn't me that did it, it was...", Then the two ponies were gone as he and Shop Keeper start to look around for them. "Where did they go?" Without a hesitation, he grab both of his Gunpla and his GB base, store it in his miniature saddle bag and rushed out of the store which now at night time. "Reiji! Sei!" he shouted out for them as he dash down the right of the Canterlot. Saying this won't make any difference, but..... I don't have the spirit nor confidence to keep walking on It is them! his mind now with happiness as he kept calling their name out loud, but to avail as it mostly waking up everypony as he trotted else where. "At anytime that your in a situation that you can't overcome....." 'What so fun about it?' You smiled and went ahead of me The two ponies are the two spirits that help me! He then headed to Ponyville as he kept calling their name but it like the same as in the Golden Oak Library now turn on the lights, Twilight open the door and saw him. "Kit?" "We'll be running to help you and overcome it together...." However, he running to other side of Ponyville in which he did the same thing as most of ponies began to complaining of him shouting out loud ever though it's night time. When I feel lonely from the bottom of my heart FLASHBACK I synchronize you MASH UP Together it feels like when can do it RIGHT NOW, READY SET GO! The ones that gave me the courage! his mind raced as he panted a bit as he kept searching for them. "That's our promise. Our Vow!" I'm not alone, ever since that I've known that Everything seem possible Along with that everlasting smile, You grab my hand He finally stop at the park that he met those two as he catch his breath, he sigh as he take a glance at the necklace as he place it near to his chest, praying for them. If we're together, there's no such thing as impossible I feel that way because you 're there You make up for the strength that I lack With our strengths overlapping we'll Take off~! "Reiji and Sei......", he view the moon now shines beautiful. "Let's meet again......let's play Gunpla Battle together.......I want to battle with you two!" Don't stand still DON'T STOP Because I'm by your side DON'T CRY Your not alone anymore EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT After that, he now headed back home. "Mom, sorry I'm late. I'm sorry I..." Before he can finish, he saw that made him fall to the ground - Sei and Reiji were eating apple stir fried! "What took you so long, Kit?" Reiji then grab some more of it and chow it down. "Welcome home, Kit." his mom then pour more of it into the bowl for him. "What's going on guys?!" Kit frantically asked them. "What are you talking about?" Sei replied to him, grabbing more of the meals. This confuse him as they show their necklace. "Didn't you made a wish?" With that, he sighed and smiled a bit as he sat down to his table and start eat his meals to relaxed for the day to come. Episode 3 - The Ruby CometEpisode 3 - The Ruby Comet In his house, Kit’s mother use her magic to warm up a grilled cheese hay sandwich. With the meal now warm up with the gooey cheese, she levitated it down to the table as Kit came down, looking sad. “Morning, mom.” he said as he sat down. “Morning, Kit.” she said, washing the dishes. “How are you? Did you sleep well?” “ Yes fine.” “So, where are Sei and Reiji?” He took a huge bite from his sandwich. “Sei is coming down. And for Reiji…….” Upstairs in his room, Reiji snored like a lumber pony, his pillow absorbing the booming noise. “Yeah, Sei and I tried to wake him up. But he kicked us and told us to shut up.” He bite into his food. “So we left him alone.” “Those two ponies are interesting and strange at the same time.” “Well Sei is fine, but Reiji is not!” he said with a raised voice. “The way he look and acts… He doesn’t have any common sense!” Then Sei walk down stairs and like Kit, he was unamused. “Morning, Sei.” “Morning, Ms. Builder.” he said as he sat down next to Kit. Ms. Builder began to prepare another sandwich for the newcomer. “So, you’re pissed off at him, Kit?” Sei asked him, still a little sleepy. “Definitely,” he muttered as he chomped down the last of his meals. “Sorry for my friend. I’ll try to help you with both your building and control skills.” he said with a bite from his sandwich. “Thanks.” “Still, you and Reiji…” Flashback “Wow!”, Reiji with a happiness, chomping some of the apple stir fried. “This is the best!” “This is good!” Sei take more of it and chomp it down, similar way to him. “You’re too kind, you two.” Kit’s mother replied, happy for them to love her cooking. “One of the best meals in Equestria and our favorite!”, Reiji said with a great passion of the food. “You want some more?” “Yes please!” both of them raised their plates for more. “You guys aren’t bad!” she said as Kit drank his milk and place it down. “Well better get to school. Bye.” he got off the table and grab his saddle bag. “Wait, what about Sei and Reiji?” “Well, you let them in, so try to figure it out on your own.” With that he close the door as Sei watch him going reflecting to how he was before when he met him. “Wonder got him so mad about?” her mom wonder of her son’s behavior. In the school, most of the ponies starting to talking each other about stuffs while some are studying for a test for any classes they attended. When Kit arrive to the gate, most of them seem them and just shrugged it off and continue chatting . It seem like they at least stop making gossip of his cutie mark as he walk to the front door, feeling a little down and upset a bit. Why, Reiji? Why are you not going to train me? his thoughts raced about what happen yesterday. Flashback “Reiji and Sei, can you train me?” both of the ponies sat down on Kit’s bed eating of the apple fritters while he sat on his desk chair. “Train you on what?” “Gunpla Battle!” He show his Gunpla to them. “Sei can help me on improving on my building skills while Reiji can help me train me to battle effectively.” “The way that your control skills were incredible to save Shop Keeper’s store from Diamond Tiara.” He then gaze to his Gunpla a bit then face to them. “With your building skills and your technique, I might able to master it. Will you……” “Of course.” “No, I can’t be bothered.” “What?!!!” both of the ponies exclaimed by Reiji’s refusal. “Reiji, why?!”, Sei asked him in disbelief. “Why are you aren’t going to help him?! Kit is new to Gunpla Battle so at least we should help him!” “I don’t understand, Reiji?!” Kit asked him in the same way as Sei now. “Doesn’t Gunpla Battle fire you up?” “Not really.” he respond to them, finish the fritter and laid back on his bed. “But why did you and Sei fight just now?” “We just paying you back. We kept our promise. It’s over.” “NO WAY!!!!!!!” Kit freak out by his response of their promise to help him, but regain composure. “Then how you two going to pay me back for last night’s dinner?” “We owe that to your mom, not you.” he said with a yawn. “We going to pay her back for that anyway. And she letting us stay here tonight, too.” “Eh? Staying here tonight?” Kit got dumbstruck by it. “Nighty Night.” Reiji then tucked his blanket and sleep. Both of them were silence a bit, before a snore was heard. “Reiji, you being selfish again!” Sei said in a angry tone. “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you at least help him!” While Sei vented out of his anger, Kit slump down a bit in a depression mood for this outcome that might give him hope but never came again. “At least brush your teeth when you’re staying at this house!” After that, Kit continue walking to the front door as he grab his stuff from his locker and place some of his stuff there and grab a few stuff out of there. It doesn’t make sense. Sei is fine of helping me, but Reiji is being selfish. His thought said in a sad tone. What happen to “ At anytime that you're in a situation that you can’t overcome, we be running to help you and overcome together”? Back home, Reiji yawn a bit once he got down to the kitchen while Sei began to sweep the floor and Kit’s mother preparing to go out. “Morning, Kit’s mom.” As he walk with being drowsy a bit to the couch and sat down. “Morning Sei.” “Well, you slept well.” Sei said with an annoyed tone. “Morning, Reiji.” she said as she got her parchment scroll list. “If you’re hungry, there is some bread that I made for you at the fridge, is that ok?” “Yeah” his voice still tired “Anything is fine.” “So, where’s Kit?” “He gone to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.” “What’s a Celestia?” That surprise her a bit, but she giggled at his naivety. “Not what, who. Celestia is the ruler of Equestria along with her younger sister, Luna. They both raised both the sun and the moon together and Celestia own her own school to teach gifted unicorns with magic in Canterlot.” “Seriously?!” Sei exclaimed by this “Two Princess has the power to raise both the sun and the moon?!” “Yeah, no joke about it.” her mother got the last of her supplies. “Ok, finish up with the dishes and clean the bathroom, ok?” “Ok” “Sure” “Kay, bye guys.” With the front door closed, everything is silence a bit. That is until Sei decide to break it. “Reiji, this is what happen when you don’t play Gunpla Battle when we first met!” his voice raised. “Listen, he’s new to it and we should at least help him in battle! We kept a promise to help him and even the promise is over, we should at least help him again. And another thing…..” As Sei kept nagging more, Reiji just space out by looking out of the window to see the clear azure blue skies and had another thought in it. “Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, huh…..” Back at the school, most of the students were reading about the history of the Star Swirl the Bearded as the teacher began to explain more of the famous unicorn. However, Kit began to focus more, indication by writing or drawing on his scroll, on various combat moves on his Gunpla, struggle a bit as he was trying to finding the right one. “....as you can see he was one of the mentor of one pony who is the founder of Equestria, Clover the Clever.” While the teacher kept explaining more, he began to tapped his quill as he look at the picture of his Build Strike doing various movements and the controls that he used in Gunpla Battle. Well, I can’t count on Reiji, so not only Sei is the only one I can relied on but I had to fight myself. he thought about it. If I had to master Gunpla Battle, I need to practice more of it to get better! Let’s see, maybe this combat moves or…... “Kit, would you like to answer the question?” However, once scratching his mane on the back, he now answer the question. “Well, if my opponent had the advantage of getting into close combat, both the beam rifle and the beam cannon will probably had a time lag.” Most of the students are staring at him, confused by it. “So if that happen, the beam saber and the vulcan might be the only chance to blind the camera and attack it head on.” After that, he then realize that he just explain his combat moves to everypony. “Um, the answer is two thirds.” “Kit” his teacher was unamused “This is the history class.” “Um, sorry….”, he sat back down, embarrassed by his mistake as everypony began to laugh about it. At his house, Reiji is look bored staring on the window while Sei got the cleaning supplies for the bathroom and now focus on cleaning the sink. “Oi, Reiji!” Sei cried, snapping out of his trance “At least help me out with it! You know that Kit’s mom promise to stay here if we clean up the house!” “Yeah, ok.” As he headed to help him by scrubbing the sink, he then stare at the upper middle window. “How boring. We came all the way here for this.” In the school, Kit place some of his history notebook and grab his lunch from the lockers in the hallway. Then he stare at his combat ideas and his drawings of his Build Strike Gundam in various battle pose. How stupid of me to talk about my combat moves in my history class. his mind said as he saw a crowd of students were meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle. “Wow it’s the Princess!” “Amazing! I can’t believe the Princess is visiting here!” Then after she got eyes on him, she headed towards him with a genuine smile. “Hi Kit, good to see you.” “Oh, good to see you again, Twilight.” he said with a warm grin. “Wait, Kit and Twilight are friends?!” one of them shocked by it. “No way, how did she knows about him?!” another question asked as more students are ganging up on them. “Oh boy, this is going to be messy!” Kit freaked out by the crowed students. “Don’t worry I got this.” she assure him as her horn now develop in a pinkish glow as it envelop them as in a flash, they disappeared, leaving students wonder of where the two went. In the outside of the school, a pink flash appeared as both got made it out of the mob students but as for him, his mane got singe a bit and a doozy a bit before he snapped out of it. “Can you please warn me next time you do that?” Before that, he saw each of the Mane 6 who apparently waiting for them for lunch. Applejack set her meals down for all of them, Fluttershy and Rarity give them warm smiles including Rainbow Dash who wearing her sunglasses as for Pinkie Pie….well…...she set a picnic towel down and the basket now float with the balloons. Kit was surprise as well as speechless by this as in his heart, he just nervous to at least meet them, but some reason that feeling was gone. “Um, Twilight….. what’s all this?” “Just a picnic lunch we going to have and wondering if you want to join us?” Kit was speechless by her offer to hang out with them, but with a warm smile, he said, “Sure, I...would like to…..meet your friends…..” With that, he introduce to each of the others with Pinkie Pie just being happy as she saying in a hyperactive tone that Kit have hard time to understand what she’s saying but holds a genuine smile. This is happening…..I get to…….meet my idols…….. his thoughts said. In a few minutes, Kit asked of them if they still use the elements of harmony to the point of them saying they do, but have to return to the tree of harmony to which is the source of them to stop the Everfree forest from invading Ponyville in which he heard of that incident a few months ago as well as their adventures they did made him interesting of one day to go with them. “Oh no, I forgot! Again!” Rarity exclaimed as the others look at her. “This is. The. Worst. Possible. Thing!” Then she use her magic and pulled a chair out of nowhere and pretend-fainted on to it which giving out odd looks from them. “What? You expect me to lay on the grass did you?” “Umm does she always do that, Applejack?” “You have no idea.” she responded. “So Kit”, Twilight asked “I was wondering of what talent does your cutie mark represent?” “Huh?” “Yeah, I like to know too!” Pinkie Pie said, pop out of nowhere to him. “Twilight told me that some of the students from her old school is spreading rumors of your newly talent that you discovered! What was it, do you build robots cause that will be cool of you to make a robot version of us, but wait if that happen then these robots might take over the world and Equestria in the nearby future! Or maybe you’re a robot who come from outer space to experiment on us or maybe…….” Twilight place her hoof on to her mouth to ease of the talking which cause him to be confused by her. “What we mean is that, your talent is very unique to all talents that ponies know.” she trying to come up with something that doesn’t hurt him. “We just want to know how you got it?” He thought about it then after that he said. “Well if you girls want to know, my cutie mark is based on the Build Strike Gundam.” “The Build Strike what?” “Well, it’s better if I show to you.” He then open his miniature saddle bag and show them his Gunpla to the girls giving them curiosity. “This is my Gunpla, the Build Strike Gundam Full Package.” Rainbow first started edging closer at the Gunpla. “This robot toy is what your cutie mark represent?” “Well, yeah it was my first Gunpla that I got and battle with it.” “Um, Kit, what’s a Gunpla?” Fluttershy wonder about it. “Well, it’s a long story to tell you about of how I got it.” “Well, we got time for it, sugarcube.” So he took a deep breath and start telling them of how he discovered a new hobby shop and the new model kits called Gunplas, got the Build Strike Gundam from the owner, played Gunpla Battle, the Plavsky Particles gave him a cutie mark, and saving the shop from Diamond Tiara with the help of two ponies that he met yesterday (in which Applejack still mad of one of those ponies calling her a Country Hick) as well as the two ponies now live in his house. “Wow”, Twilight said quietly, amaze by his tale in which she was surprise by his story in which the others are too. She couldn’t believe that another country far away from Equestria discovered a series that came from the human world before the Nightmare Moon event and made it popular as well as one hobby shop was never mentioned from either the residents nor the princess too even the strange particles that somehow actually create a cutie mark upon Gunpla Battle. “Wow indeed.” Rarity place her hoof on her head nearly faint. “To think that your cutie mark didn’t come naturally but from this Gunpla Battle.” “Yeah, it was shocking at first but somehow, I get the feeling that there’s more than meets the eye with Gunpla.” He stare down to his Gunpla. “I don’t know why but somehow when I got my first, my fears and doubts have washed away.” “How come, partner?” “Don’t know…...just a hunch.” “So Twilight, how come your interest into me?” Kit wonder about it. “I know Lyra already told of my past, but I was confused of why you help me?” Twilight then thought for a bit, then with a genuine smile, she said “Well I guess I tell you of my reason.” After explaining, all of them were shock by it. She apparently knew him since she was a filly and both of them were partners into school works as well he became the first friend that she had but he never came to school when his father left and never came back, feeling betrayed by it causing her to become more focus on her studies than friendship to never being betrayed again. Then when she became a princess, she heard from Lyra Heartstring that he now attend to Celestia’s school, causing her to be happy for him as she want to see him but also Lyra told her of the reason that he shutting himself away. “Twilight, I’m….sorry…..I…….hurt you….”, he apologize to her, feeling guilty. “It’s ok, Kit.” Twilight said “ I understand why you did it and I’m sorry about your loss, but that’s in the past now. After all, we’re still friends.” That causing him to smile for her willing to let go of what happen in the past. To think that she already knew me when we’re fillies and my depression hurt her causing her to be distance from friendship until she found new friends. She also want to repair our friendship when I now go to Celestia’s School. His thoughts raced by it as both smile at each other, thankful that they now reunited each other. “Excuse me, but I hope I didn’t interrupt your lunch, princess.” Came another voice as the others turn they saw a stallion with a coat of blond colors and a mane of chocolate mane match to his sleek yet smooth tail as well as a cutie mark of an ocean view. “Oh, not at all.” she look at the side to make sure no other ponies are following him. “What can I do for you?” “No way!” Kit said, shocked by it and got his mouth wide open a bit. “Are you SeaCliff Breeze?! The club leader of the Celestia’s Model-Building Kit Club?!” “That’s right.” he replied with a friendly smile. “May I talk to you at the club during lunch break?” That causing him to stammer a bit at the offer. “Uh, me?” “Of course.” With a nod, he follow him, avoid the mobbing students and finally headed to model building club at the right of the classroom. “No way!” his eyes now flash with excitement as he stare all of the model kits displays. It was truly like he just walk into a candy store when he was a filly. The model kits was like everything that he always that he want to see : a replica of Canterlot Castle, Crystal Empire and Cloudsdale and all of them are detail very well in the exact way of the real ones. Next to them are pre-classical ponies from the old times like Star-Swirl the Bearded and Clover the Clever and just like the others, both of them are detail very well. “Incredible of the details of these model kits!” he said with a glee then with another excitement he saw something that he always want to do. “No way! You got the Wonderbolts sets and you made them to make like they doing a dramatic entrance!” “Thanks. It was difficult at first but I got it just right.” “You did all of this? Incredible.” “I know but it can’t compare to your work.” he said with a humble tone. “Me?”Kit wonder about it. What made his work better than him, the captain of Celestia’s Model-Building Kit Club that attract a huge attention to all ponies even the Princess too? “To tell the truth, I’m a huge fan of your work when I was a filly along with your dad’s too and I ever been since then.” He blinked in surprise then scratch the back of his mane in embarrassment “Really?” Then he realize something into his mind. “So you want to see me is because you want to join your club? If so then I would be honor to join but I had to help my mom with some stuff around the house.” “No, it’s not like that….” SeaCliff said with a chuckle at him. “Even though I wanted that, too…..” “Then…?” “Kit, I heard that you’re into Gunplas, right?” That really surprise him greatly at this. SeaCliff knows of Gunplas too? Then that means he must go to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP too before me. “Yeah, it’s my first time I got into it.” “Well you see, I heard from Shop Keeper that you defeated Diamond Tiara, right?” He nod in response. “Well Diamond Tiara is supposed to be famous from the district that for her strong skills; You beat her at Gunpla Battle.” “I guess I assume that you’re thinking of entering the Underground Gunpla Battle World Championship?” “Underground Gunpla Battle World Championship?” Kit wonder about it. “It’s a tournament that was held Underground where the Diamond Dogs reside in and attract builders from all over the world to battle each other to become a Gunpla Meister, the highest rank of the Gunpla Builders. As I know, I enter it a few years ago and won in the championship preliminaries. ” Wow, highest rank of all builders? he wonder about it in his mind. That’s sound amazing to be like it and a tournament to battle with Gunplas from other places…. somehow I felt that I want to excite about. “Well, I want to give a shot.” “Amazing, I can’t wait for it. Now I’ll be able to battle with your Gunplas.” SeaCliff said with a calm excitement. “Whoa, I am excite to try it out for the first time, but I need to practice more if I want to be at the top level as you. Beside, you might be too tough for me to battle you.” he said then look down a bit. “Plus….” “Plus?” “To tell you the truth, it wasn’t my own strength that defeat Diamond Tiara.” he honestly said which gave him curiosity. Back at the picnic area, Twilight and the others wonder of one of the student want to talk with Kit for a bit while they have one of Granny Smith’s muffins that Applejack had brought for all of them while they save the last one for him. “So who’s that student that wanted with Kit, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash wonder about it. “That’s SeaCliff Breeze. Supposedly, he’s one of the student from my old school that created a Model-Building club and one of the famous builder beside Model Builder. I also heard that his building skills were inspired by him too when he was a filly.” “Maybe, that SeaCliff feller wants Kit to join his club. After all, he’s Model Builder’s son and he inheritance from him.” Applejack suggested. “I supposed you’re right darling.” Rarity agreed with her. “I’m not a huge fan of these model kits but I curious about Kit’s Gum….uh...un…” “Um, it’s Gunpla, Rarity.” Fluttershy corrected for her. “Yes thank you Fluttershy darling. I mean did you see that chunky design of it and those colors are too bright and those wings with that thing sticking on the ground need more designing.” Realizing that she’s off topic a bit with the evidence of them looking at her odd, she change it quickly. “What I mean is that new hobby shop that he mention, how did it open without a notice from the Princess?” “I don’t know, it’s strange to see a shop that open without a notice, but until then we need to….” Before she can answer the other look at her confusedly as with that, a voice was heard from the right as she turn as she saw a crimson colt. “That looks delicious.” Reiji said staring at the muffin that she’s eating. “Huh?” she looks at her muffin then using her magic, she break a pieces and offer him some. “Here have some.” “Really? Thank you!” He took it and ate it with a smile. “MMM… Yummy!” “Um, who’s he?” Fluttershy whispered to Rainbow Dash, feeling shy of this new pony that just appear out of nowhere. “Don’t know.” she replied with an uneasy look at him. “Well he’s very uncouth for appearing out of nowhere.” Rarity said with the same expression. “*Gasp* No way, that’s the doozy that I felt yesterday!” Pinkie said with a wide grin. “Wait a second!” Applejack got back up to her legs. “Your that pony that stole some of m’ ah apples from the acres last Monday!” Before she going to do something to him, he got back up and pointed to the school. “So this is the Celestia’s School?” Twilight noded. “Does that mean Kit is here?” “Kit? You mean Kit Builder?” “Yes yes, Kit Builder.” He look at the building with a smile. “Now I know where he is.” “So who are you, dude?” Rainbow Dash asked him but before he going to tell his name, a voice was heard with a angry tone. “REIJI!!!!!!” The others turned to the front gate and saw another pony with a peach coat and a dark blue mane, galloping with an angry expression at the crimson pony. “Reiji, what the hay are you thinking of leaving the house without telling me!” he said catching his breath from all of the galloping that he did. “C’mon Sei, I just thought I might just come to see Kit in this school.” “Are you out of your mind, Reiji?! Do you remember what happen last time you did that while I’m at school?! You can’t just barge into a school campus just to see a friend! Honesty, while we’re almost done with the chores in the house, you just ran off!” he said incredulously. While the two ponies are arguing, the others watch them with a odd looks. “What got the other pony so tick?” Rainbow Dash asked Twilight about this event. “I don’t know, but the names somehow fit with the description of what Kit said with the two ponies that helped him.” Before she figure out, a gruff like voice was heard from the other side. “Hey, you two!” The others turned and saw a muscle stallion with a Mandarin mane and a apricot coat but what strange is that pony somewhat resemble Buck that Shining Armor once told from his Canterlot Academy years but donning a blue uniform. “You two on the Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns ground. You two are not students, are you?” “We came here to see Kit.” “I couldn't care less about it.” He pointed the front gate. “Get out now!” “C’mon Reiji, let’s just get out….”, Sei trying to drag his friend back, but he ignore him, staying put with a stern and unamused expression. “You’re rude. Who the hay are you?” “I’m a executive member of the student council.” He pointed his right hoof at Reiji. “We work to protect our students from disruptive ponies like you.” “Reiji, forget about it. Let’s go before…” “We never did anything yet.” “The fact that you two are here, near to the princess and her friends are a problem already.” He about to throw him away. “Just get out….” Reiji slapped the hand away with a angry look. “I told you, we came here to see Kit.” “Are you disobeying me?” The executive member’s voice sounded edged. “Reiji, don’t….” “Your the one who being messing with us first.” That really provoke him as a angry vein and a clenched teeth was showed with a mind that repeating to give that crimson pony his own medicine as well with a steam was heard from his ear and a right hoof was into a fist. “Why you…..” Twilight and the others look with a concern and a scared look. It looks like this could get ugly for the two ponies. “Wha...what we going to do, now?”, Fluttershy quiver in fear hiding behind Applejack. “Don’t know but even if I can try to stop this, that feller might not listen to any words.” Then without a hesitation, Twilight put down her food and gallop to the model kit club. “Hey, Twilight where you going?” Rainbow Dash asked her. Meanwhile, Kit told everything of his battle in details to SeaCliff. However he look down just felt that he might think of him as being weak to hide behind others but in his honesty he doesn’t want to lie about it. “I see, so two fighters came and control your Gunpla.” SeaCliff said understanding of his story. “Yeah, it was thanks to them, that I able to win against Diamond.” “I’m more exciting about it. The championship will be intrigued to it……” “However…” He look to him directly “one of them said that he’s not interested into Gunpla Battle, so…” he down disappointed “ I gave up on Reiji and only partner is Sei.” “Reiji and Sei…...so that’s your partners’ name.” Before that, Twilight rushed out, barge in like she run on a marathon or being chased by Timberwolves. “Kit!” “Twilight?” he got up worried for her. “What’s wrong?” She pointed her hoof to the window. “There’s trouble!” “What trouble….” As he look to the direction of her hoof, he saw some of his friends and other students were staring at Reiji and Sei…...wait WHAT?! Reiji then got one of the member of the student council in a leg lock in which causing him in so much pain as Sei was panicking about this?! Kit open the window with a bewildered look. “SEI AND REIJI?! What the hay are you two doing here?!” “Kit!” Sei said frantically about this. “It’s not like that! I just trying…..” “Oi, Kit!” Reiji interrupted his reason. “Clean the house was boring so I just come by to see you and Sei then decide to come too.” “Reiji!!!!” “Why would two do that?! You guys aren’t students here!” He looked at them incredulously about their friends’ rash behaviors. “That’s right!” the student council shouted. “You two better--” But Reiji then pulled his legs more as he then struggle in pain to get off of it. “OW! NO MORE! OW! OW! UNCLE!!!!!” “Why you guys are you doing this to me!?” Kit complain in annoyance and bang his into a bar as Twilight watch this fighting. SeaCliff then watches from it and saw them while in the shouting of them. “So that’s Reiji and Sei…..” Meanwhile, Kit’s mother look from left and right, to find them. “Where’s Sei and Reiji? They said that they’ll help me to clean the house to thank them for the dinner last night.” She sighed about it. In the Model building club, Twilight and the others waited in the front, wonder why would SeaCliff would ‘invited’ the two ponies that Kit mentioned. An angry voice was heard that give Fluttershy a squeak of it and hiding behind her mane. “But why, President!?” Inside, the student council angrily questioning SeaCliff about it while he’s sitting at the chair. “Why would you allow those outsiders into the school,” He then pointed to Sei and Reiji along with Kit. “without informing the teachers?!” “What’s up with him?” “Shut up.” Kit whispered to keep his voice down. “Sorry, Mandarin.” SeaCliff apologize to him. “I forgot to tell the council executives.” Then he looked to the three ponies. “Reiji and Sei over there are the ones that I invited to school.” “What?” At the same time, Kit was surprise by him too. Why would he want to invited Reiji and Sei? “Not true.” Reiji blurted out. “Shut up.” Sei whispered to him. “Not only as a council president, but also as a captain of the model building club. Both Sei and Reiji are outstanding Gunpla fighter. They beat Diamond Tiara yesterday. Isn’t that right, Kit?” “Y-yeah.” “You three beat Diamond Tiara? I can’t believe it.” Mandarin was surprise by them of beating her. “Who’s Diamond Tiara?” “You beat her yesterday, remember?” Kit reminded him about it. “Oh, that annoying filly.” Reiji got the picture of it. “Heh,” Mandarin mock at him. “it’s seem that you’re the annoying one, kid.” In response, Reiji make a face that shape like a monkey. “You’re the annoying one too, monkey.” Kit and Sei shivered at that name as Mandarin starting to growl causing his face to be stuck in angry vein as starting to calm down despite his weird expression shaped like a monkey. “President, I mean Captain, I have a suggestion. Since you invited this talented ponies all the way here, why not have them show off their abilities in Gunpla Battles?” This cause Kit to shocked by this. “I’ll be their opponent, as a member of the model- building club.” After thought about, he smile and asked them. “Would that be ok with you three?” Kit and Sei tried to say no, but as usual Reiji just blurted out. “Sure thing.” “But….” “You’re gonna regret it.” He said taunting Mandarin, causing him to growl even more and scaring both Kit and Sei. “Alright then.”, SeaCliff said as he got back up. “You can choose whichever Gunpla you like from our secret display in the back room.” “Oh no worries, because I got my Gunpla with me.” Kit said proudly but a grunted from Mandarin, he just freak out by him. “Heh, you're always prepared as usual Kit. However only members of the club can bring their model kits too including Gunpla.” “Oh, sorry about that.” , Kit scratching his mane in embarrassment. “Now we need to wait is my mentor to come and then we can start the exhibition match.” SeaCliff said as a knocking on the front door was heard. “Come in.” Then somehow when Kit, Sei, and Reiji saw who was his mentor, both of them were in complete shocked and Kit was surprise a bit. A pony with a sleek and smooth chocolate mane and a red coat with a genuine smile and his cutie mark was a cyclop like visor. “No way……..” Sei was speechless to say the least. “It can’t be…….” Reiji too, was dumbfound by that pony resemblance. “That’s……..” Kit was surprised to say the least. “It’s being a long time, Iori kun and Reiji kun.”, the red pony said with a smile. “Yuki-senpai!” Sei still completely shocked by his rival here in Kit’s school. “It’s being a long time too, but what are you doing here?” “Just came to visit my student here so we can start the exhibition match.” “Then that’s mean your’s SeaCliff’s mentor?” he was shocked by his rival now work as a mentor to him in which he nodded. Then he turn to Kit and greet him too. With that, they now headed to the stadium arena just at the far left of the school along with the Mane 6, saying that they want to come along with him in which they allow them. Kit asked Sei and Reiji of how they know ‘Mr. Yuki’ SeaCliff’s mentor in which they explain that he’s one of the best Gunpla Fighter who once take the name of the third Meijin Kawaguchi and his ideal to spread Gunpla from around the world as well as fought with him numerous time. Also Kit explain that when SeaCliff came to his school, he was becoming famous for his building skills and his outstanding work to all students thanks to his mentor who apparently said that he heard rumors that he taken him upon his wing like his own son. Meanwhile, more students getting news of both SeaCliff and Tatsuya Yuki are setting up an exhibition match against Kit Builder and his two friends. With that, more ponies hurried to the stadium arena to see it. Inside of the stadium arena that usually held PE activities, they saw a 4 shaped hexagon generator in the middle. The others students wonder of this exhibition match could be as they kept talking of prediction while at the same time the Mane 6 were at the top watching the commotion of students. “So any idea what that thing is on the middle?” Rainbow Dash pointed the hexagon shaped generator. “I simply had no idea, darling.” Rarity respond to her question. “I simply don’t think that anypony would make such a dull piece.” “Maybe it had to something with this Gunpla Battle that Kit talked about it?” Applejack asked Twilight about it. “We want to know it too.” A voice was heard as the Mane 6 turned as well as the students were gasp in surprise as two alicorn appeared. One is a midnight blue with a mane that spark like a stars in the night and a cutie mark of the moon on the black spots while the other is larger than the other and have a majestic mane of multitude color of light blue, light green, light purple, and light pink that flow natural and had a cutie mark of a sun. Apparently all of the students bow down to them including the Mane 6 knowing them as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. “Arise my little ponies. There no need to be formal.” Princess Celestia said as all of them rise from their bow as they resume their usual stuff. “We have heard of this exhibition match that we’re not aware of and we decide to see it.” “Twilight, we were wondering of this exhibition match that SeaCliff held that he didn’t let us know so we can approve of it?” Luna asked her with a hint of frown. “Well he said that it had to do with Gunpla Battle that Kit told me about it.” Twilight said not taking off of Kit, preparing along with Sei and Reiji. “Gunpla Battle? What is this ‘Gunpla Battle’ that you speak of?” She raised her eyebrow looking confuse about it. “I never heard of it before.” Princess Celestia added with a curiosity. “What is Gunpla?” Twilight then thinking a bit, trying to find a right word for it. “Well, to be honest, he said it’s a model kit that like bipedal robots with strange weapons that they carried and each of them have a unique shaped structure with special features that they have. So far that only thing that me and my friends know. Kit said that he got from a hobby shop called ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP just far outskirt of Canterlot and even he had no knowledge of these kits.” The princess were surprise by this strange outcome; how did a hobby shop just open outskirt of Canterlot? And where did these Gunplas come from that somehow shaped like bipedal creatures? Before they can ask of the strange generator, some of the students complain loudly as Mandarin came with a silver bipedal toy robot. “Eh?! It’s not SeaCliff?!” “Who’s that monkey?” “I’m not a monkey!!!!” he shouted at the two mares, causing to flinch by aggressiveness. With asking them if they’re ready and nodded , SeaCliff now stand in the middle to ready his announcement. “Okay, now prepare everypony in the Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, for the first ever exhibition match of Gunpla Battle hosted by the Celestia’s Model Building Club!!!!” PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both fighters set their GB base as their info of their Gunpla appeared. BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus the generator activate as the Plavsky Particle now starting to flow a bit. Everypony were taken by this phenomenal even for the Mane 6 and the Princess too. Many of the students were amazed by this and commented by it, even Rarity who once said it bring new idea for new clothes and dresses as for Twilight there one thing she only said of this particles : “It’s beautiful.” “What kind of magic are these particles?” Celestia asked about it, not taking her eyes of them including Luna. “These aren’t just any magic that the light of the Plavsky Particles emitted. There the work of a technology. ” A voice was heard from behind as the others turn and saw an older stallion with a light brown mane and a coat of dark blue hue. But also he had a mustache that also color the same as his mane as his cutie mark is a blue cyclop with a pink monoeye. He then explain to them while looking at the generator setting up the battles. “This particles, came from another world, discovered 10 years ago before the Mare in the Moon incident, react with only plastic in which the Gunpla is made. By fluidly controlling the high-dense Plavsky Particles, you can breathe life into inanimate Gunpla.” As the particles ready to simulate the stage, it create the ‘base’ for the fighters just like before but for Kit, Sei, and Reiji, it made three control ‘base’. “And, thanks to the particle transformation, effects such as beams and explosions are also added. The sense of realism is almost lifelike.” He then look at the Mane 6 and the Princess. “This is Gunpla Battle, misses.” However the Mane 6 and the Princess were giving odd looks at him for his explanation of it. One example is Rainbow Dash’s mind said “Who is that old colt?” having a weirded out look. Not only that but also Applejack also take the same thing as her, even Rarity confuse by the old colts’ explanation with an uncomfortable look. For Fluttershy, she hid behind Applejack and for Pinkie...well it’s Pinkie and for Twilight, she also gave a confuse look to him. As for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, they somewhat understanding a bit but giving a curious look to him too. With a flash, another familiar location was created as for everypony and The Princess and the Mane 6 were completely surprised…….. FIELD 12 - CRYSTAL EMPIRE “That’s the Crystal Empire!!!” Twilight shocked by it as well as the others too. Since when a generator from another world can create a simulate stage based on Equestria location? PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA “This is my Gunpla, SUMO!” Mandarin set his Gunpla down as the particles scan it and a little face door open to reveal its eyes flashed. While that, Kiti set his Gunpla down and like usual the eyes flash and particles create the launch sequence for them. In Sei’s side on the left, a computer screen shown as he check on the status of the Build Strike Gundam. “Ok the weapons are the same as yesterday. The body frame and everything else is normal so you should pilot it well. Just in case if you need assistance, Reiji can control it for you on the right side of you. Got it?” “Ok!” BATTLE START “Kit Builder!” “Iori Sei!” “Reiji!” “Build Strike Gundam! Taking Off!” His Gunpla launched out of the launch sequence as well as Mandarin too launched out his Gunpla and start to take a sharp left turn and shoot at the Build Strike Gundam but dodge quick and drew its beam saber already and charge headed on to face SUMO, dodging the beam bullets from it with its grace and speed. “Interesting. Kit’s skill match to both Sei and Reiji along with his Gunpla’s performance too.” SeaCliff said not taking eyes off the battle while Tatsuya nod in agreement. The SUMO then charged back at him, shooting then switching to its heat swords from its left arm as both units clash their blades at each other, sending out sparks, then the Build Strike roundhouse kick it to the left as it fires the vulcans, destroying the beam gun. Grunted by this, Mandarin switch to its high output beam gun, attach it to the left arm. All right, thanks to Reiji’s quick reaction, I can fight him properly., Kit’s mind said, happy that he got his back again like last time as the Mane 6 were amazed by their skills to face him. The Princesses were also impressed by the battle that this generator and the Gunpla did. “Looks like they’re winning.” The old colt said, still locking his eye on the battle. Tatsuya Yuki then look at them with a hint of impressiveness. As usual Sei’s and Reiji’s skills were talented , but for Kit….. he’s just a match to them; he’s like a combination of both…...still…..he got a long road to become the best…… He then continue to watch of the battle as the Build Strike shifted out of the town to the castle. “What’s wrong? Is that all you got?” Reiji taunted, but then a caution sign appeared at Sei side indicated the arrow pointed up. “Above us!!” Then they saw the SUMO charged up the bun gun and pointed at them. “Don’t messed with me!!” It fire a huge green beam as the Build Strike dodged quickly but then it moved the beam gun to them, causing so much damaged to the crystals homes and towns. With a quick reflex, Kit landed his Gunpla into a larger crystal town, shielding from the impact. “Whew, that was close.” Kit sighed from that impact that they dodged. “He’d dodge that far!” SeaCliff amazed by him, then he start to get excited. “That’s really fire me up even more.” “You three should be dead already!!!!” Mandarin then jump and thrust to slash but the Build Strike quickly dodge it. “Sorry about it.” Reiji holding a smirk, but then a STAGE CHANGE log appeared in front of him. “Oh no!” Suddenly, the peaceful skies of the Crystal Empire now ‘crack’ the pieces and broke off, revealing a darker skies and a heavy snowstorm as the shield also start to crack down and let loose more of the storm. “What the…?! How did a snowstorm get to the Crystal Empire?! That only happened on the other side and we never faced it before when we set foot on it?!” Rainbow Dash flabbergasted of this event. “The reason the stage is changed is because they blew the hole in the shield.” The old colt replied as the Build Strike then stand strong against it. “How would they fight such in such a harsh winds?” The SUMO’s foot release spikes from it and clung to the crystal road and starting to charged up the beam gun. “Going charge up to him!” Kit said holding tightly to the storm’s flow. “Seriously?” Reiji looked at him incredulous. “High output gun like that have a time lag before the next shot, right Sei?” “Right!” “Ok!” With that, Kit pushes the controls causing his Gunpla to charged through the harsh winds. “You three are numbskulls?! You would charging against the headwind?!” Mandarin was astonished by them then smirk at them. He then flew a bit away from them, still charging the beam gun. “He’s getting away!” “We gonna get through this!!” Kit reassure him as with a flick of the beam saber’s energy, it starting to get more boost and finally charging at the SUMO. “Go!!!” With their battle cry, the Build Strike charging at him as the SUMO was about to block it, it finally pierce the pilot core, destroying in the process. “M-My Gunpla!” Mandarin was freaking out by his loss to the three. “Mandarin was defeated?!” “The monkey has lost!” Oh boy that’s the third straw for him as he heard that name, he stare at the two colts who called by that, growling, which cause the others to assume the worst. “Don’t…...you…..call me MONKEY!!!!!” he screeched as he start to chased them. After that, the base became translucent to see the three fighters. Everypony was stomping the hooves in excitement of this first Gunpla Battle that they seen. “We did it, Sei! Reiji!” Kit clapped his hoofs to Sei and next to Reiji, in which Reiji gave him a hard clap, that sting a bit but can managed off (not notice for everypony the two colts galloping away from an enraged Mandarin). As for the Mane 6, they’re impress by the outcome of the battle. Fluttershy still hiding behind Applejack, found it to be scary at first but was found it to be interesting and come out of her hiding place, Rarity found it to be ‘barbaric’ and ‘uncouth’ but at the same time, very impress of their skills, Applejack said that battle was crazy as the Equestria Rodeo Champion but way intense, Rainbow Dash, with her brashness, said they were awesome but not 200 % awesomeness as her, as for Pinkie Pie…….well you get the idea of throwing a Congratulation on winning the first exhibition match Gunpla Battle, and for Twilight, she sighed and gave them a genuine warm smile. For the Princesses, they have an interest for their skills and the technology to make toys move without the usage of magic. Just as they thought that the battle is over, a red and black foot stomp on the crystal road and emerge to face the Build Strike to be a sleek cyclop like the one from the kits that Kit saw but shaped differently : it has a little horn sticking out and a square like fin on the back. Next to its body has a blocky shaped chest that give (to Sei’s view) reminiscent of the Sinanju but with ruby like titanium to it and two wings sticking out of the upper body with two booster to it. To the right and the left shoulder armors is somewhat look like one of the armor from the Zaku Amazing but clad with booster as for arms is the same but with a ruby arm guards attach to it. The side skirts look the same but with addition ruby armor pieces underneath it, giving more of wing shaped as for the front one has hoses connecting to the waist of the body. As for the legs are somewhat the same but also clad with another reminiscent armor of the Zaku Amazing but with more wings attach to it. It carries a small yet short riffles that somewhat that Sei can’t figure out with the design of mixture of regular and beam ‘shorty’. “That ended a little too quickly.” SeaCliff said as got to the base, surprising everypony. As if he become something that what Tatsuya would say. “I feel badly for the audience that showed up. Do you agree?” Then without hesitation, he slid his mane that somehow look like what Tatsuya did as his eyes changed from a calm blue eyes to azure of the raging sea. “Yes. I think so.” Kit felt something off of him, feeling a little weirded out. “Uh, SeaCliff?” “Oh, another jerk…..”, Reiji got annoyed that he did the same thing of what Tatsuya did. For the Mane 6, they were too confused by him barging into the battle even though that they won. “Uh, what’s up with him?” Rainbow Dash asked about his nature tone changed, also feeling a little weirded out. “Don’t know, I never seen him acting like that.”, Applejack replied to her giving a odd look of it. “Me either.” Twilight said, also curious of it too. I’d never seen a side of SeaCliff before in my life. Could he only do that when he play Gunpla Battle? her thoughts raced as she in a deep thought trying to figure out of the sudden change. “Just as I thought.” The old colt replied, snapping her out of her trance as Twilight was confuse by him as the others turned to him. “It entered last year’s Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament as well as being the successor to Tatsuya’s Gunplas.” The others begin to understand as they view of the ruby Gunpla. “It’s SeaCliff Breeze’s Gelgoog Wonder.” He then shake off his hoofs a bit and maintain the control. “For him to become the successor of ‘The Crimson Comet’ he earn the title as ‘The Ruby Comet’!” The old colt finished explaining to them. “The Ruby Comet….” Twilight muttered a bit. “Kit, get ready to battle.” Reiji place his hoofs back to the control in which return to the black and neon blue ‘base’ “Reiji….” “C’mon he’s messing with us.” After take a glance to Sei in which he shrugged, he got his hoofs back to the controls. Then the Build Strike whip its beam saber, getting ready to fight again. “We not going to run away now!” Then with a surprise, the Gelgoog Wonder flick its pistols and with that it transformed it into beam blades. “Sorry. And thank you.” SeaCliff getting ready for battle. “For barging into battle. And I’m honor for giving me a chance……..” Then with the boost, the Gelgoog Wonder charging at them. “ For me to battle with you three!” “Shut up!” The Build Strike swing down vertically but it dodge quickly as the Build Strike activate another beam saber that blasted through but it jump higher behind him as it was about swing it again, it boosted to dodge it again. “He dodged?!” “But we’re upwind him!” With that, it then charging at them, dodging the vulcans that they fire at it with quick movements surprising everypony about this. “He’s quick!” Then it clash it sword against his with great force that causing him to lose the left one. “More Fury…..” Then it doing it again but manage to hold on a bit but just like that it lost another as it shifted around. “More Fury…..” The Build Strike quickly fire the vulcan again, but with so much shifting, it dodge very fast. “More Fury! GUNPLA!!!!” With that, the Gelgoog Wonder jump out of it and land from behind as it about to low kick it, it too low kick him fast, causing the Build Strike to fall down. As it was about to get up quickly, a pistol was pointed at it. The match was over. “No way…..” muttered Sei by this. “U-Unbelievable……” Reiji was disbelief by this. This is like the Crimson Comet all over again. “No……..” Kit was speechless by their loss. Everypony cheered for both of them of the exciting battle. Hooves were stomping loudly than before and the voice too. “Amazing, SeaCliff won!” “And it only took him second!” The Mane 6 watch them in worried expression as the generator shut down, dissolving the particles back into nothingness. “In an instant, victory can sometimes turn into defeat. That’s the sad truth of all battles.” The old colt replied, still not taking over the look of the three then close his eyes a bit. “And the battle is a wasteland….” The Mane 6 and the Princesses look at the old colt with wonder of him knowing of Gunpla Battles and Gunplas. Rainbow Dash then whispered to Twilight’s ear. “So who’s that old colt?” But she shrugged at that question as she turn back to the them, who Kit picked up his Gunpla from his hoof and stared at the ruby gunpla. “So that’s SeaCliff’s Gunpla.” “It’s holds the inheritance of The Crimson Comet : a comet blazing ruby.” Sei remarked of this but for Reiji, he stared at it, feeling humiliated. “I can’t believe I lost again to this battle of toys.” Then he gaze at SeaCliff getting admire to other students (Mandarin feeling happy that he avenge him or something else) as Tatsuya Yuki come up to him and nodded for his hard work. Then he saw him and hold his regular genuine smile to him only making him more angry a bit. “That jerk!” At outside of Canterlot, Reiji kicked a stone to a river stream, trying to vented out his anger but so far no luck. “I’m so irritated by that SeaCliff guy! Barging into a battle like that?!” As for Kit, he look down a bit, feeling a little depressed a bit while Sei and Reiji walk with him to his house. “But SeaCliff built a strong Gunpla. And a successor to Mr. Yuki’s Gunpla.” Sei nodded in agreement also feeling a little depressed. “With his quality, and his skills…..” “He really had the the ability of a Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament contestant.” Kit finished his sentence then look up a bit. “We completely lost.” “No, we didn't! ” Reiji snapped a bit. “He said it himself.” Flashback At the point when the gun point at the Build Strike’s face, the Gelgoog Wonder withdraw its pistols. “Let’s stop the battle here.” Then the particles starting to disintegrate the base once the battle is over. “Sei and Reiji…...your skills still amaze like Yuki said….as for you Kit…….judging that you rely on Reiji’s piloting skills, your ‘true pilot skills’ maybe ‘incomplete’ along with your workmanship too. I want you to learn from both Sei’s workmanship and Reiji’s pilot skills and make it into your own for you to be ‘completed’ before the championship. I want to face you with your skills and your own true Gunpla.” Kit felt a little upset by his words. “SeaCliff, why are you being so….” “I’ll tell the reason if you defeat me. And the championship is the perfect stage for that.” SeaCliff replied with a hint of seriousness. “He’s right. This isn’t settled yet.” Reiji muttered before turning to them. “Sei, make sure you remember everything you know so you can teach him to learn your workmanship! And Kit, you better get some rest for tomorrow! We going to teach you our skills of Gunpla! And you better make your own true Gunpla!” This caught them by surprise for Reiji’s decision. “Reiji….” “We have to pay him back.” He then clench his hoofs a bit. “Especially for the humiliation!” “It’s settled! For now on, Kit, we’re going to be your mentors for Gunpla Battle!” “Are you sure?!” Kit taken by his decision that he made. He looked at him with a hint of cocky smile. “It’s decided!” After complete shock by it, Kit smile at his friend’s choice. “Reiji…..” Sei smiled that Reiji now able to play Gunpla Battle again, then realize something by gazing to the dusk skies. Maybe Yuki-senpai want his student SeaCliff to do the same thing like before so he can fire up Reiji and help Kit to improve. Inside, Tatsuya noded at his student’s performance as SeaCliff looked at his Gunpla, a crack was showed to its pistols but hold a smile. Kit then pulled his Gunpla from his miniature saddle bag and gaze at it with a hint of determination. “Reiji and Sei, I promise that once you pass your skills to me…...I’ll make my true Gunpla. Together with you two and Build Strike, I’ll create the best….no….the strongest machine!” Sei and Reiji nodded at his enthusiasm. “We’re count on you to do your best, Kit.” Kit noded at them with his brave face then, he got a shocked look as he pointed to them. “G-Guys, you’re….g - glowing…..?” It was true as both Sei and Reiji were glowing but in the same colors as he met them in their spirit form. “Aw, man. Looks like we’re out of time.” Reiji looked at himself with no exaggeration to himself as well as Sei did the same. “Don’t worry, we’ll see you tomorrow.” Sei reassure him as the light began to consume them. “Well see ya.” With that, the light consume them and shot up into the dusk skies, leaving Kit shocked and freaked out by it that he screech so loudly. “WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON!!!!!!” Meanwhile, Twilight and the others were at the train leaving Canterlot to back to Ponyville. As while the others begin to talk about the exhibition match, Twilight stared at the window thinking about something. Gunpla Battles…….her thoughts echoed thinking about the battle that Kit did as the dusk now turn into night time for hoping for the next tomorrow. Episode 4 - Kit Strike Neo PackageEpisode 4 - Kit Strike Neo Package In the Sugarcube Corner, everypony was celebrated for Pinkie's Congratulation on Winning on the First Exhibition Match Gunpla Battle for Kit Builder and his two new friends, Iroi Sei and Reiji. It was one of eveypony's favorite and memorable party because once they got there, they able to witness the battle itself. On the party, there was a Portable Plavsky Particle Generator that one of the party guest, the old stallion that watched the battle in the Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, brought with him to give the ponies the excitement of it. The Portable version of it is like a miniature of the big bulky version but also had a feature for on to go, it transformed into a portable saddle bag that act as a regular one to all ponies. The old colt allows anypony to tried it out and let them to borrow any Gunplas that he brought with him. One filly decide to use a darker and a armored bipedal robot with a orange visor and with shoulder weapons against a friend of his using a cyclops like robot with 2 pink monoeye and a wide spread of wings attach to its arms that give almost a appearance of a manta ray. Once those two fillies are down, the next one is the old colt facing both Sei Iori and Reiji using the Build Strike Gundam Full Package against a blue cyclops with horns sticking out and two shields attach to its arms along with a handle sticking out of the legs. Both of them swing their swords and upon them, clash at each other. "Heh, even without the universal booster, you and Reiji still got your charm, Sei." the old colt praise, launching a black whip at them, but the Build Strike able to dodge it, pulling another beam saber, and slice it in half. "We could say the same thing to you, Mr.Ral !" Sei said. "Glad you came to Equestria! We're even surprise that you watched us in battle yesterday!" "Save the chit chat for latter! Let's show him what we're made of!" Reiji said, charging in as with a boost from the backpack. "You and Sei maybe powerful but still - !" Mr. Ral's sentence was cut short when the Build Strike slice the Goulf R35 in half, ending the battle already. BATTLE ENDED As the particle generator now disperse back to normal, Mr. Ral still unfazed by his loss. "Impressive, Reiji and Sei. However even it's your own Gunpla on the box it's said, your own strengths didn't win this battle." He pointed to the Build Strike, now in a slash pose. " It was the performance of your new student's Gunpla, Kit! Never forget that!" "Yeesh, even it's been a long time seeing you, your Gunpla still simply obsolete." Reiji muttered in which Sei sighed at his sentence. "One more battle! Just one more!" Mr. Ral begging in which Reiji refused. While they kept beggin to battle in which Reiji's answer is the same, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity were watching them, sipping some of Pinkie's Punch. "Who knew that this old colt that's watching with us yesterday is actually a friend of Sei and Reiji?" Rarity remarked while they heard of arguments. "Yeah, they seem having a good time." Fluttershy take another sip of her punch. "Even if Reiji is bit......" "Obnoxious. That Reiji fellar is very obnoxious." Applejack finished her sentence, still glare at him who he didn't even notice. "Applejack, I know that Reiji ticked you off before, but you need to understand that he didn't mean to take it and called you that." Rarity tried to reason her. "I'll see when he apologize to me." Applejack muttered as she headed to the kitchen leaving the girls worried a bit. Still that even happen before, she still had ill feelings to Reiji. "Oh, I hope that Applejack still able to forgive him." Fluttershy said. Rarity patted on her shoulder and give a reassure smile to her in which she smile back. "Man I can't believe this!" Rainbow's voice was heard as they saw her, pouted and crossing her legs. "I usually get the spotlight on every party that Pinkie set up but now everypony came here for this robot toy battle! Me outdone by this Gun.....whatever you called that!" "Cheer up Rainbow!" Pinkie pop in front of her with her signature grin. "You still the most awesome pony ever! Unless if Kit Builder along with his two ponies pals able to become the very super duper awesome Gunpla Battlers ever or maybe even spread Gunplas from around the Equestria!" Rainbow starting to growl at those words. "Why don't you try it, Rainbow? It might be fun just like doing your practice on your flight except you won't need to use your wings!" "Me, playing with this robot toy battle? Ha!" the cyan pegasus grab a cup of punch and began to drink it. "The day I'm interesting in this robot toy battle is the day I turned down my daredevil license! No way and never will!" After that, she then zoomed off to the kitchen while Twilight head to her friends and tag along with her, a purple and green dragon, Spike, Twilight's best friend and number 1 assistant, came too. "Wow, who knew that one of our fillyhood friend, Kit, would be popular Twilight?" Spike said, taking a bite of a red frosting cupcake. "Still it's been a long time seeing him." "Spike, you hardly recognize him when your still a newborn." Twilight stated, narrow her eyes. "But I'm sure he might remember you." "Yeah, your right." Spike confess. "But what I didn't know is this um.....what it's called.....Gam....Gum....." "Gunpla, Spike." She corrected him. "Yeah, Gunpla Battle thing is becoming huge for the fillies, mares, and colts alike." Spike said as they watched of the three fighters still in a friendly arguments but then Pinkie popped up in front of Sei and Reiji, surprising them. "I'm so glad that I got to meet you Sei and Reiji! My Pinkie Sense tells me that we getting new ponies yesterday so I tried to find them in the train station to plan a surprise party but there's no train coming so I went and looked all the roads into Ponyville and nopony had ever seen new ponies in town! So I thought 'maybe they're pegasus or a unicorn that use a spell to walk on clouds and might going to Cloudsdale' so I went to Twilight so I can get her to cast a cloudwalking spell but then Twilight told me that we going on a picnic to see a friend of Twilight that she met while she tutoring in her old school, so I put my search for them for a 'Welcome to Ponyville' on hold and do it again by tomorrow! So how did you met Kit Builder? Did you two came from overseas because that would be awesome to visit your place so I can throw a 'Pinkie's super duper awesome party to your hometown!' How did these robot toys came-" Pinkie continued to talk so fast that Sei smiled nervously while Reiji give an annoyed look. "Wow she's very...........um..........hyper....." "I think my brain gone dead already." Reiji muttered, rubbing his head. Just then, a sweet voice that Sei knows too well was heard. "Iroi -ku." He turned and saw a unicorn mare that has a tan coat and silky brown mane that somewhat look like Twilight's but with a pink headband on to it and a glass that she wears and her cutie mark is paintbrush and a sketchbook come together. Next to her is a pegasus mare that has a snow white coat with a silver white silky mane that almost look identical to Fluttershy but shorter and also has a silver headband into it as her cutie mark is the same green gem as Sei's and Reiji's. "China!" Sei said happily which she giggled at him. "Hey, Alia." Reiji said, waving his hoof at her which she smiled at him. "We came here to Ponyville to find you two, but then we also encounter with a strange yet joyful pink pony who inviting us to a party and to our surprise that you two played Gunpla Battle with another pony named Kit Builder." Alia explained. "Well you see, Kit Builder is our new student who going to learn of our skills in Gunpla Battle." Sei said surprising them. "Really, that's great of you two. Good luck with that." China praise at them. "Oh you made it, Kit!" Pinkie shouted as the others turned and saw him but he had his head down, his mane cover his eyes a bit as he starting to walk to them. "There you are, Kit." Reiji said. "So are you ready to get some training?" "Hey are you ok?" Sei asked him worried about him. "Come with me you two." he muttered dragging both of them, leaving the others confused as he went upstairs to Pinkie's room as he set his stuff down and close the door. "Hey, what's wrong?" Reiji asked. "Sei.......Reiji........can you tell me clearly............", Kit starting to remember yesterday of them disappeared. "Who........WHO THE HAY ARE YOU TWO!!!!!!!" he screamed causing a rumble in the Sugarcube corner. "In a different world far away from where Kit lives, there was a beautiful and a peaceful country called Arian. And there lived a fine prince who was heir to the throne. Now this prince has a great deal of curiosity, and one day he found a secret treasure in the treasure room of the palace. Suddenly, the treasure began to move, and the prince's body was surrounded by an intense light! The prince then transport to Sei's home world called Earth and able to go to his world. He immediately decided to go and explore it. Everything was new, and he had exciting few days. And then...... The prince encounter Gunpla. With that, the prince and his friend enter the tournament to become the best and won it. But the prince had to leave this place and say goodbye to his friend and return to Arian. Everything was normal for the prince, then one day a remnant of the secret treasure create clones of them and transport the clones to Kit's home. Then out of nowhere the clones decide to spread Gunpla in this new world.", Reiji explained as various of drawings was showed in each order of his story. "You see the prince is me and Sei and I are the clones of the originals." Reiji finished explained to him in which his only silence and expression is ......well something like from a show that has the eyes of a lemon nutcase. He then placed both of his hooves on their foreheads. "We don't have a fever." Next checking their legs. "We're not sick either." And finally using his magic to check on them. "And we're not hexed." "Um, Reiji? " Sei laughed nervously "I think I'll try to explained him more of this story." Sei got up and cough a little to get his attention. "Well for some part of the story that he told is true. We're not actually the real 'Sei and Reiji' , but more of the clones created by the Plavsky Particles that came when you build the Build Strike and used it in battle. The mark of these 'cutie mark' that what you ponies called them, the particles can automatic create a Builder Mark for those who wield Gunplas and played Gunpla Battles. Our friends and rival came when anypony chosen their HG Build Fighter kits, build them, and use them on battle." "So let me guess this straight." he sat down to the side of the wall. "You're the clones of the original 'Sei and Reiji' created by the Plavsky Particles when I build my first Gunpla." They nodded. "And my cutie mark is actually a new mark that wasn't heard of in Equestria ; more of like a fake mark." He take a look at his cutie mark. "Well it's still a real cutie mark." Sei reassure him waving his hoofs with a nervous smile. "Don't judge too quickly." He then continue of what he know from them. "And your friends and rival appear here in Equestria when somepony build of this Build Fighter kits and use them in Gunpla Battle." They nodded. "Yep, except that I was a prince." Reiji bluttered out in which Sei glare at him. "Well, I'll believe you both." he sighed at this in which Reiji and Sei were surprised. He turned with a soft smile at them. "Well I knew consider that you two disappeared yesterday." "Finally! Somepony finally able to believe that I'm a prince!" Reiji shouted in happiness which both of them chuckled. "Anyway, Kit, have you thought of making your own Gunpla?" Sei asked him who was shuffling his hoof on his saddle bags. "Yeah, it's my own inspired by the Build Strike." he replied then found his sketchbook and showed him his picture. Sei turn the pages and found his drawing of his Gunpla. For his artistic, he might as well being a animator. The build of the Strike body remained the same and front skirt too. But what changes a bit is the middle on has triangle shaped that almost look like a cockpit, the shoulder armors had identical to the HG Astray Blue Frame Second L but incorporate with the build of the Build Strike, the head is somewhat look like the regular Strike but the v- fins has jet like flames behind it, giving it a flaming effect that he presume of it, the side skirt has winged pieces attach under it and the beam saber now has a connection point that can give him to do a double saber like the Strike Freedom,the legs look the same but with a armor pieces that looks like from the parts of the Universal Booster, and finally the biggest changes has to be the Build Booster. It has new wing pieces that he can tell some of it came from the Destiny Gundam, the blue 'feathers' now moved closer to it as the remaining ones now sprouted around the new blue pieces and the cannon that he were somewhat similar to the HG Gundam Age 1 Full Gransa but in a half hexagon shaped. And the final detail that he did was only the beam riffle and the shield. The shield remained the same but with new pieces that give out a bladed edge and the beam riffle had a wire tube under it as for the normal one, it remained the same. "The successor of the Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Kit Strike Neo Package!" he said triumphantly of his drawing. "Hmmm, it's looks amazing. Guessing by the shoulder armors, my guess that you got inspiration from the Astray Blue Frame Second L, the side skirt is from the Age 2 along using a new beam saber from the Strike Freedom, you added those armored pieces from the Universal Booster, a new connection pieces that you add from the Gunpla Battle Arms, and the big changes you did on the Build Booster is added the wing parts of the Destiny, put the feather pieces of the build booster into the new pieces you added like the new beam cannon. The only thing you added to the main weapons is blades on top of the shield.", Sei remarked at this picture and gave him back his sketchbook. "But I was wondering, what parts did you make the flames effect on the v fin?" "I also got it inspired by the HG Beginning 30 Gundam's orange v- fin." he replied "Shop Keeper recommended me to give it, a feisty touch to it." "Oh I see. Well it should be a easy built for you to start making it. But the problem is consider that it's inspired by the Build Strike, there aren't going to be more of it." Sei explained to him in which he didn't faze at this. "No worries, because by tomorrow, Shop Keeper will help me with it too." Kit replied. "He allow me to use any Gunplas that I need to make my own." "That's great, Kit." Reiji grinned at this. "And once you finished building it, we going to have a practice match with it. This time, I'll coach you of your pilot skills if we want to face that SeaCliff guy! Especially for that humiliation that he did yesterday!" He slammed his hoof in response to it. Kit watched this action put a worried face to him along with hung his head down. Still......Reiji.......I just want you to enjoy Gunpla Battles.......not with vengeance.......and you and Sei.........I wonder if........ his mind trailed off a bit but that didn't left it unnoticed by Sei who had a worried expression to him. "Hey what's wrong?" he put his hoof in his shoulder, giving his attention to him. "Well.......nothing. I'm okay." he shake his uncertain feeling off and give a smile. Then he got up and headed to the door. "C'mon guys! We can't miss Pinkie's party! I bet that she starting to give out her special cake!" With look at each other and nodded, they now headed to Pinkie's Party; Pinkie wonder them of what taking them so long as for Kit he told that they just planning to make Kit's own Gunpla. While he gave introduce Sei and Reiji to Twilight and her friends (Applejack saw him and holding a glare to Reiji who ignore her), Sei and Reiji introduce China, Alia, and Mr. Ral to him and his friends in which Spike was infatuated with both of the new mares with eyes now turned into hearts and having a crimson flushed on his cheek, causing Rarity to be irritated at this consider that he always have a crush on her. While Pinkie keeping the party on the beats to all ponies, she then pop out to the generator and asked Sei and Reiji to battle her in which they were confused at first, but nodded at it and getting their Gunpla ready to battle. While they battle Pinkie, who already random start to learn the controls in......well Pinkie second, Kit watches them with a smile then his expression turned to worries as he quickly shake it off of his mental thoughts and hold his smile so Pinkie won't worry. Little that he didn't know that Twilight already saw his expression and confused yet worried for him but knew she can asked him when she can come visit the school by tomorrow. At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, Shop Keeper began to sort out some new model kits that he ordered to each shelves by shelves, while whistling of a music that's well........from any of the Gundam series, then start cleaning the windows and check the neon lights along with restocking more paints on the paint sections. Once he's done with it, he then turn switch the sign, hanging on the door, from 'Closed' to 'Open'. He then pull out a huge checklist from his saddle bag. "Let's see, new Gunpla Kits from the Gundam Age series, check! Restock Paints, check! And windows clean and neon lights works, check and check!" he then begin to ticked off one by one then smile that everything is good for another business day. With that, a small groups of fillies, mares, and colts , with excitement, came to the store and start to find, buy, and start to build on the building table. From a small groups comes to the next one and over and over, it would seem that that because of Gunpla Battles on yesterday Pinkie's Party that many fillies, colts, and mares wanted to build their own Gunplas and battle with them. After the last group brought their own Gunplas, they now exit out of the store in which he sighed with not tired but with happiness that ponies become enamoured with Gunplas. He then look and saw half of the shelves almost completely empty, then look at the paints and the result is the same. He then headed to the back door, grabbing a stacks of boxes that almost completely covered his head and with some struggling to hold on his hooves, and start restocking again. Then he heard another hoof step coming to the store and he struggled to turned his head. "Hi welcome to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP can I help you - Oh!" "Hey, Shop Keeper." Kit raised his hoof along with on his side is Sei and Reiji, who they gave him their signature smile. "K-Kit, g-good to see you.", he said, still struggling on holding the box as he almost about to trip, they rushed and helped him out. After restocking all of the shelves, Shop Keeper turned to them with his usual calm grinned. "Thank you for helping me; even if I didn't ask for it." "Don't worry," he said, dusting off from his coat "I had a habit of helping others." "Well since you came here, what can I help with you and your friends?", he asked wave a hoof. "Well, I want to start making my own Gunpla." he pointed to Sei and Reiji for further explanation "My friends say that they going to help me to make it with me." "Ah, because of Seacliff Breeze, eh?" this cause both Sei and Reiji to be surprised at this (except Kit). "I used to be a teacher of the Model Kit Building Club with him until I decide to open my first shop; he and I usually talk about what improvements, details, and others things we did." That make a little sense to them; consider that Seacliff already told Kit about it one time yesterday. As they enter the store, Kit check on his monthly saving allowance bits from his saddle bag. Let's see.......his mind echoed as he counting the amount of bits that he got. Only 150 bits, should be enough for all of the parts to make my true Gunpla. With that, he also pulled out his list and start to browse around the store, looking for the Gunplas that he need along with Sei and Reiji helping with him too. Luckly, they found all of the Gunplas and boosters that they needed and unlikely other model kit stores, all of the HG series cost 10 bits for each Shop Keeper said. Once they paid for all of them, leaving his allowance of 70 bits, they now headed to the building table as Kit got his supplies out of his saddle bags along with his tools and his model kit table set flat on the table. Then he also got his sketchbook out and flipping the pages to revealed his own drawing of his own Gunpla along with his Build Strike. "So are you ready?", Sei asked, looking at all of the Gunplas and booster that he brought which he nodded. "Ok, first you need to do is to examine of your Gunpla drawing," he explaining "Let's see, the shoulder of your Gunpla is a fusion of the Astray Blue Frame Second L and the Strike so we need to reshaped both of them to make them fit." With a nodded, he separate of the parts of the Gunplas that he gotten, in each section of the Gunplas that he gotten, he cut out of the armors that Sei told him as he teach him of how he did when he build the Build Strike. As Shop Keeper watch them, he then gave a small smile at how Kit now starting to enjoy of making his own Gunpla as he stare at the clear blue skies from the window. Don't worry, Mr. Builder, his thoughts said I'll look after your son while you go and spread it with him. On the nighttime, at a local diner, Reiji was walking around until he saw Mr. Ral, waiting for him at the front, leaning on to it. "Sorry, just like Earth, I'm not used to this world too." "Just like Earth too?" Mr. Ral question him but Reiji expression changed to serious. "Anyway, are you sure that you found the right one? The others are very uptight and snobbish." "I know. Follow me." The two now headed straight towards the downtown while at the some of the stores are open, most of them are closed as indicated by the few ponies that they seen. "It have been 5 years since you and Sei won the 7th Gunpla Battle World Tournament. We all thought that the old Plavsky Particles were gone but yet able to develop new ones from Earth while you left back to your home, Reiji. But surprising that the remains of the old ones survive here in this place and we hold the memories of every build fighters that we become 'them.' thanks to the scientist of the Neighponese, " Mr. Ral explain as they kept walking " And for that, the Neighponese now able to replicate the Plavsky Particles thus making Gunpla Battle from their home country a popular sport. But now, another company which are the engineers of the Plavsky Particles appeared called the Equestrian Plavsky Particle Corporation or EPPC for short, took over for them. They set up tournaments here underground of Equestria where the Diamond Dogs live as spread and promote Gunplas for other creatures such as zebras and griffons territories." As they come to a stop, they now at the front of a cafe club from downstairs like some jazz ponies come to play their tunes. "However, like us, some Neighponese ponies that move here along with other ponies, horses, or griffons love Gunplas and Gundams, even before the Equestria Gunpla Boom. They now become old soliders who've been through many battles. Such ponies, horses, and griffons even zebras come here after work gather here and free themselves by fighting at night by night." Mr. Ral walk downstairs while Reiji follow him and open the door for him, "Here's thier battlefield." As they went inside, they saw ponies, horses, and griffons are at the table while the others they were battle each other from space to desert by using a orange cyclops with weapons on the oval rectangle shaped like pod with thrusters on on the oval shaped, firing a bazooka onto a black gundam with a white cube shaped visor covered the eyes as it dodge it and fire a smaller beam riffle and hit it. Next a fighter transformed into a bulky bipedal creature with cyclop like eyes, shield hanging on the left and holding a longer beam riffle as it aim and fire at the white cyclops but as it about to dodge it, it then charges at it while distract it, pull a beam saber as about to swing but the white cyclops pulled a axe as it clash it with it. Mr. Ral walk over to the bar table while Reiji follow him watching the battle, "What do you think?" "Nice. They all look fanatic like Earth." One of them from the bar table turn and agape at his surprise, "L-Lieutenant!" Another came too, "Lieutenant Ral!" As they heard that name, all of them stop and starting to chant loudly while raising their hooves/claws, "Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!" This is too much like from Earth. Guess that Gunpla influence so much to this world. he thought of it as Mr. Ral raise his hoof to stop the chant. Then all of them rushed to him like he was a celebrity to them while Reiji got out of the way. "It's good to see you again, sir! Have you come to sortie?" "I be honor to play with you, sir!" "No, it's not me that I'll fight today." That raised confusion as he point to him "It's this colt that you'll be facing." However some of them raise doubt of this kid, "He's just a colt." "But he must be special to have recommended by you ", one of them said as he asked Reiji "So when you start Gunpla? How many have you built?" "A year ago, " he reached from his saddle bag and pull something out from it "and only one." He hold from his hoof a Gunpla with a head that have a triangler curved to it and a red triangle on top of a clear yellow v fin as the feature of the face is like the others but has two smaller mouth on the middle of the two shorter ones. From the view of the body, it have most of the triangler shaped from shoulder armor to the arms, chest, side skirt, legs, and the foot guard. On the back has a total of six beam saber as for the weapons onto the Gunpla, it have a shorter beam riffle shaped like a oversize pistol and a asymmetric shield and attach to the back was 3 additional beam sabers. "That's it?!" one of them exclaimed "Just one Beginning Gundam?!" "Now, Now, people. A warrior must show his strength not by words, but on the battlefield. Lend the colt a hand", Mr. Ral calm them down and explained which all of them did. "If you say so, sir" , one of them agreed. "Reiji you can use one of yours or rented one of them from the displays. Choose one you like ", said Mr. Ral, showing the display case full of Gunplas. "I go with my own. Beside, it's been a while to play Gunpla Battle for real!" Reiji said, earning smirk from the others fighters. "Heh, bring it on kid", a griffon boasting said. "Don't cry home to your mama", a zebra smugly said as all of them laugh at him. But when the battle start, Reiji and his Gunpla defeating them like they're nothing. BATTLE ENDED All of them were shocked as each of them said, "Too strong!" "Is this colt from the Ragonark Institute?!" "I knew you can do it, Reiji", Mr Ral thought of it "It's impressive that you still beat experienced soliders with your Beginning Gundam." "Mr. Ral", Reiji asked him, snapped him out of his thoughts. "What?" "I now two things like before." he turned to his gunpla "First, I need to understand that the Build Strike is now Kit's and see how well that Sei help him to build his own Gunpla, and testing to see how great he made. However I also need to allow him to fight on his own battle and to give faith that he able to do it without my assistance. Yet, I also need to help him to teach of battle it well. And the other is, it won't be even a workout with these guys." The other soilders grunted with angry expression as he continue to speak, "Yuuki really taught Seacliff very well........." He remember of the battle before, "Seacliff's Gunpla is way stronger that this. Like being in the next level that me and Sei face before." "I need more." he then shouted to the soilders "Is there anyone stronger around here?" That caused infuriated to all of them as each of them place their Gunplas on the generator , "Don't get carried away, kid!" "Don't mess with grown - ups!" "10 against one?! That's crazy!" Mr Ral exclaimed by this situation but Reiji smirk at this. "There still just small fry!" As the neon base return, the Beginning Gundam now charging at the whole group consist of the 'Old Zaku', a custom Full Armor GM, Guncannon custom, Zssa, ReZEL, Gafran, Geara Zulu Guard, DRA-C, Danazine, and Anksha. With dodging the beams fired from the Anksha and the custom Full Armor GM, the Beginning use its shield to block it as the explosion set off, it discard the shield and fire its beam riffle at them, hitting only the knee. Then the Zssa fired missile as well the Guncannon and the Gafran fire their beam cannons at it, but it dodge in time as it charging at them and then it kick the blue dragon to the side as in quick reflex it shot the head, destroying it in the process. But the ReZEL in its Wave rider mode charging at it and transform, grab its beam saber and thrust at it, however the Beginning manage to get away but its left arm is damaged in the process. "No! Stop the fight, Reiji!" Mr Ral appeared from the screen in the right side. "Are you kidding? Just for this?" Reiji asked incredulous. Then the Beginning threw away its riffle and grab its beam saber in a claw fashion as it charges at the Zssa, slicing it in half as it then charges at the 'Old Zaku' but its 'hidden claw' fire the bazooka underneath its arms as the Beginning dodge it but at the same time, the Anksha charges and swung its double beam saber at the arm, cutting at the process. Then the remaining groups now grab their sabers and charging at it. "This is the end!" Suddenly, two large beam hit all of them in quick shot, piercing the bodies as all of them exploded, saving the damaged Beginning Gundam. "What the ?" Reiji surprised by the event. Mr Ral was speechless as from the purple clouds comes a familiar Gunpla with design of asymmetrical, something that Reiji widened his eyes, feeling familiar from a rival in Earth. But was next to it is a Gunpla with design parts, giving reminiscent of the Epyon but a fusion of the Wing Zero. "Just with one shot from them, they took down 8 Gunpla in one motion....those Gunplas are......." With the base down, Reiji grunted, turn to the side and blunted said, "So you here huh?" Looking from the direction, a Pegasus with a light brown coat and a black mane cover his side a bit along with little hair sticking out a bit, wearing a brown coat as his cutie mark had the picture of a Pontalian flag with two wings to the side. Along with him, a female baby dragon with beautiful sapphire scales that shines like real ones, upper scales color in pink, and a gorgeous blue eyes. "It's been a while, Reiji. Guess you still don't need our help." he scratch the back of his mane. Mr Ral recognize the Pontalian voice, or rather Italy from Earth, "Fellini....." All of the soilders surprised including the bar waiter too at the surprise guests. "Ricardo Fellini of Itay from Earth." He then smile at him and said, "I see you still haven't change. But surprising is that your doing is pretty insane yet sweet to help your student is that right, Saphira?" "You could say that." she smirk at a bit. Then he turned to Reiji, "So how about it? How about going facing me and my student?" Reiji surprise at this but holds a grin, "Sounds fun." "Dad. Dad!" Kit was running towards a stallion that has his mane similar to his and a dark blue coat, smiling at him as both of them embracing each other in a hug. "Kit, I'm glad I got to see you again." he said, loving "Sorry for taking longer in my job." He shook his head, "It's ok dad. I'm glad you're home." His dad smile as both of them hug again to the which he nuzzle from his neck. "Dad, I want to show something." he got out of it and show him his custom Gunpla, the one that he drew now finally finished it. Then a neon blue base was formed as his Gunpla now flying high in the sky. "I made this for the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament with some of my help from my friends." Then the Build Strike soar up with Kit's Gunpla as both of them fly up together to the night skies. "Kit, I'm very proud of you." his father gave a smile both of them watches the night bright become envelop in a cosmic galaxies. "You truly become a builder to all ponies." "Kit. Kit, wake up." Twilight's voice was heard as his head was laid on the desk sleeping. Then his eyes stirred as he open a bit, his vision got blurry then focused to see her and Spike on the side. "Twilight," he then stretch his legs a bit and scratching his mane "what happen?" "Well, you fell asleep in the art class and the school is going to closed for the night." she explained as he turned and saw the sun now setting down. "Oh, guess I must dozy off, finish my true Gunpla." he look over it, having glances from them. "So this is your true Gunpla, Kit? It looks like the Build Strike." Spike asked. "Yeah, I finally finish it, this is my successor to the Build Strike Gundam Full Package. It's the Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package." his Gunpla really truly gave out the distant figure of the Build Strike Full Package but with his own design from his sketches : from the body design remain the same while the head design he did look slightly different from the normal Strike and attach from behind the v fins were two orange clear triangle shapes. Next the shoulder had a blue parts on the top while had white on the middle and red on the bottom with the grey pieces similar to the Build Strike had and a square shaped part on the end. The arms is likely the same as the Build Strike while in the skirt armor from the side and the front, two new beam sabers with a attachment to them store on to wing pieces similar to the age 2 and the front had only one change is a cockpit shaped crotch piece. From the legs are likely the same but this time a red pieces is colored on the knee and from the upper have a oval shaped pieces attach to it. But the biggest design is the new backpack. It have two blue pieces spread around but with red feather like pieces spread on to it like feathers of a bird and a white pieces attach to the middle. There also two wing pieces sticking out behind the head as two hexagon shaped cannons are rested on to it. "It has a upgraded version of the variable- output beam riffle, " the riffle is somewhat similar to the Build Strike " and a blade shaped multi - layered chobham shield for extra defense, " the shield look the same as the Build Strike but with a gun metal blade attach to the side, "and a newly backpack fighter that had similar features to the Full Package but with the 'Burst' feathers for increase the output performance. Combine with it, its power is increased by over 190%." "I don't know the math of it, but it looks strong, Kit." Spike remarked at it. "Not only strong but fast that not even pegasus can handle it, but Sei and Reiji going to help me to test it out today then we'll head to the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Championship Qualifiers that's held here in Canterlot just at the plaza by tomorrow." Kit explained getting his stuff ready "Is Sei and Reiji the two ponies that you met in Pinkie's party?" Twilight asked which he nodded. "Yeah. I want to enter the Underground Gunpla Battle World Tournament with them." Then he saw the clock as he place his Gunpla into his saddle bag and headed to the door, "I got to go. Sorry for talking so much, Twilight and Spike." "Oh" he stopped a bit and take a glance at them "please don't tell the teacher I was building Gunpla here." She nodded, "Don't worry, we won't." "Thank you." as he gave a small smile and headed out, leaving them behind. Twilight then take a quick glance onto the left side of the classroom and smile, "Spike." "Yes, Twilight?" "This classroom........ this is when I first met him during my time as a filly." She then flashback to her precious memories of how she and Kit met. Flashback A younger Twilight was working on the studies of the history of Equestria alone by herself. She was skimming through the pages and then taking notes on her notebook. Yet she was absorbed into the history that she didn't hear somepony coming in. "Excuse me." a voice snapped her out of her studies and turned to the door and saw a unicorn colt with a neat mane on the right. "Oh, I seen you before in the library. You also come to my art and math classes too." he come inside and got to his desk, digging something out "What are you doing here by yourself?" "Well, I was studying on the history of Equestria for the history test by tomorrow." she said, returning back to her reading as he pulled out a sketchbook and a pencil as he about to leave the class, he peek at the book that she was reading. "You know if you like, I got the notes that you need to study from my history class. Maybe we can study it together." he asked her which she at first shown some hesitation but the unicorn filly colt sat down next to her before she can speak. "Don't you had something you want to do?" she asked him narrow her eyes at the toothy grin colt. "Well yeah, but with you by yourself, I don't see why I want to help a friend out." he said, surprising her. "Friend? But why- we just- I don't even-", she stuttered. "I just had a habit. Like my dad, he always help everypony out and being a friend to them." he explained, got the notes out of his desk. "So are we ready to study?" She just nodded slowly and hesitantly said, "I- I guess......" "All right, my name's Kit. Kit Builder." he pointed to himself "What's yours?" "Twilight Sparkle." she answered. "Twilight Sparkle? That's cute name for a cute mare." he respond which she blushed. "You think I'm cute?" she hesitate asked which he nodded. "Of course. No doubt it." he responded still having his grin which she smile, still having pink flush kissing her cheek as both of them now study together. "I never had friends before in my fillyhood life because I always found it a waste of time, but Kit.........he's the one that became my first friend and the best of them." she thought as images of him and her studying together, chatting and helping each other. "He's always had a big goal of becoming his father and to spread the joy and happiness throughout Equestria. His talent in art really bring even Canterlot rich art ponies to shame as he also shown to also having a love of model kits like his dad." another images shown of him being happy with his father, made a portrait of The Castle of Two Sisters which earn him in first place, and teaching other fillies how to build their own model kit ponies. "But when his dad said that he going to help a friend overseas for 3 months, leaving him and his mother by themselves, he never did, causing him to be in such a grief that he shut himself away, never came out of his house, causing me to be heartbroken. I never seen him that day, feeling like I was betrayed." next images shown him of his father going out, Kit waited for him in the rain, haven't leave the house for a couple of days, and Twilight lowered her head down, feeling depressed. "But ever since I move to Ponyville and meeting new friends along with me being a princess, I heard from Lyra, that one of the student, Kit is enrolled back. I was at first feeling betrayed but she explained to me why he haven't come back. And I know that reason, I now want to repair our friendship back." End Flashback "Wow, that's very deep, Twilight." Spike remarked at her story. "Yeah, and now he's starting to become himself all because of his new friends and the new model kits, Gunpla. Slowly but surely." she said as felt her cheek little red. "Do you think we'll cheer him by tomorrow at the Qualifiers?" Spike asked which she nodded as both of them now heading out of the room as the sun setting down for the blankets of night to come. The next morning, Twilight, Spike, and the girls were at the front of a convention center at the plaza that have a logo 'Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament Qualifiers' as they headed inside where they open the main area, a huge massive cheer was heard along with a hooves stomp that give out of a equequake as in there was 5 Plavsky Particle generator with contestants battling. One of which is Diamond Tiara use her Gyan to defeat a Mobile Cgue and the other is Seacliff control his Gelgoog Wonder which he quickly shot out a customize white Zaku I Sniper Type and made it conceal defeat once the Gelgoog point its pistol at the back of the head. Match 4- Winner Seacliff Breeze "Still not enough fury......." he muttered, still got his mane to the side but fix it back to normal as Twilight, Spike, and the girls walk down to see the competition. "Princess?" Then they saw Seacliff waving at them along with Tatsuya Yuuki as both went up the stairs to see them. "I didn't know that you and your friends were interesting in Gunpla Battle." he said. "Well, it's not like that." she rubbing her legs. "Then I guess that you and your friends must come here to cheer for your friend, Kit." Yuuki said, earning a pink flush from her cheek as both fighters gave a genuine smiles as both of them look to the stadium, "He should be up after the match." They turned to their direction as another match was held as the Schuzrum Gallus thrust its spiked shield at the Airmaster which also swing its riffle at it, cause the blue knuckle fighter's head to pop out, ending the match. Battle Ended "My strongest Gunpla........" one of the contestant sadly sigh, picked up the Schuzrum Gallus as the particles dissipate. "Um, Mr. Yuuki?" Rarity asked him "I just don't get it. If everypony worked hard to build these robots, why would they fight with them? Having a work on art to be use on this uncouth fashion. No offensive of course." "It's because they all worked hard on them." he answered earning glances from them "Their own Gunpla are their strongest machine. Even if they damages their machines, they want to prove it. That's why." "In other words, to prove their strength." Twilight muttered understand of his words as they saw Kit and Sei coming in the stadium. "Here's Sei and Kit. But where's Reiji?" Fluttershy wonder as the others shrugged. Match 7 "We now begin match 7 of the first round of the World Tournament Qualifiers." a mic announced as both of them at the generator. "Is Sei and Kit are going to fight? But unless that Kit build his own along with his control skills........." Seacliff exclaimed as all of them watch the match. "Kit....." Twilight muttered worried. I know, still.......Reiji just want revenge on Seacliff. And Sei......he here to help me with improving my skills and I'm here just to enter to become a Gunpla Miester. his thoughts raced as he set his GB base. I blame myself for dragging them into all this. Then the Plavsky Particles start to flow, with a flash a Everfree Forest stage was set along with neon base for both fighters. I got my hopes too much........ but like all in every challengers, that's just my ego. I mean, Sei is fine and all but Reiji.......he has no common sense but very willful. I felt at first that they just ponies came from overseas, but with me discover Gunpla...... I realize that they're clones of the 'originals' from another world......I also read that clones pretend to have feelings and souls or rather copies of the originals but still......even if that's true, I'm felt happy that I got to met them and free from my loneliness after I lost my father....... Please set your Gunpla "And......." he remembers the time that both of them became mentors to him "We made a promise to fight together.........to play Gunpla Battle forever............ Why, Reiji? Why?" Then he start to shed a little tear, even he tried to hold, "Reiji, you.....bonehead!" "Who's a bonehead?" a familiar brash attitude as both of them turn as the base clear a bit and saw Reiji, catching his breath along with Mr Ral. "Sorry I'm late." he said, wave his hoof which seem to covered in bandages. "Reiji." Kit sighed, feeling happy then notice the bandages hoofs. "What happen to you?" Sei asked but he just walk to the right side. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's start." "Do you think......?" Kit asked him as Reiji take a glance at him with his usual grin. "Trust me." Kit nodded as he got out his Gunpla from his saddle bag, "Then I gonna need you to assist me when I use my own that I built. The Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package!" Seacliff, Yuuki, Twilight, Spike, and her friends have their eyes widened in surprise as Seacliff said, "It's so perfect." Diamond Tiara gritted her teeth that even Silver Spoon had no luck calming her down, "Now he built a successor of it?!" "I'm impressed that Sei's skill able to help Kit to build his own Gunpla that's worth a successor of the Build Strike. A Gunpla that's take to the next level." Mr Ral praised. As Kit set his Gunpla into the stage and his own flashed its eyes along with the orange ones once the scan complete, then he got to his controls along with Sei on the left got the computer screen, and Reiji got the backup controls. "You guys ready?" "Yeah!" "Let's go!" Battle start "Kit Builder!" "Iori Sei!" "Reiji!" "Kit Strike Neo Package! Taking off!" With his launched out of the base, it flew higher to the skies of the clouds as a blue Zedas fire yellow vulcans along with a beam cannon as the Kit Strike flew up down faster as the blue Zedas circle around transform into its mobile suit form as it quickly whip a beam saber from its claw and charged at him but it then clash with Kit Strike's own as with great amount of power, the Kit Strike's cut the yellow beam saber and slice off the hand as the Zedas tried to use its other one but the new gundam fire its own beam cannon at the other arm as it flew up to get distance as it fire the beam cannon but the Kit Strike kept dodging it. "Amazing, it's like the Full Package and the Universal Booster into one!" Reiji praise at the speed of Kit's Gunpla. "Nice job, Kit!" Sei added. It's all because of you two that help me to create it and Build Strike. his thoughts raced feeling happy. The performance is way higher than the Build Strike. But with you two, I able to control it like a part of my body. And your assistance able to help it through! Outside, Fellini wave his hoof which also in bandages as Saphira tender it well while watching the battle through to his GB base. "Man if 200 battles were that enough, you also made me and my student fight 400 battles." Then he felt a little cringed as Saphira dab some medicine onto his hoof and gave a narrow look, "Hold still, Fellini! You acting like a filly." He grinned with embarrassment as both of them gaze at the front of the convention center. "Now Sei and Reiji, pass your skills to your student so his can equally matched with the Pontalian champ's!" The Kit Strike charging towards, dodge the beam cannons with graceful movements. "Target acquired! Fire the beam riffle!" Sei said. "Ok!" he pressing the button and selected it. "Go!" all three shouted as the Kit Strike flashed its green eyes as it lock onto the opponent, it fire it as with the Zedas continue to chased it, the beam pierce through the chest, as explosion set off, ending the battle. "Wha-where did that kind of power came from?!" Sliver Spoon exclaimed astonished along with Diamond Tiara. "With one shot like the Build Strike?!" Mr Ral widened his eyes, astonished by it too. Even the Mane 6, Spike, Seacliff, and Yuuki were completely astonished by this that Rainbow could only say, "Awesome......" Battle Ended "All right! That was too easy!" Reiji praised as the neon bases dissipate "Nice going, Kit!" "Yeah, nice job!" Sei added to which they look at him, smiling while holding little tears that dripping down a bit. "I can't believe it.......we won round one.........together with.......my Gunpla....... I built......" he said, having his voice cracking. Then Reiji slap him on his back and said, "Hey, hey, why are you looking weepy? We're going to win it right?" Kit widened surprise as he wipe of the tears and said with determination, "Your right. Let's practice more onto it so we can win the next week's round two!" "Heh! And that's mean you going to do some toughest training with your own true Gunpla!" Reiji said, had his grin as usual. "And me to help you with improving your building skills!" Sei added, which Kit nodded. Meanwhile, Twilight sighed happy that Kit won, Applejack had a grin onto them (except Reiji), Rarity and Fluttershy were talking about how Kit's Gunpla design is, Pinkie is........well you get the idea of another party, as for Rainbow, she smile at the three of them, trying not to feel jealous as for Spike, his eyes were widened about the battle. Then she saw Seacliff and Yuuki now leaving, holding smiles at the battle. Now I seen it, Kit. Seacliff's thoughts raced then look at his mentor which he nodded and said, "The true performance of your new model...... your successor......" Twilight then turn and saw other contestants praise at them which Kit blush slightly in embarrassment including Sei as for Reiji's expression still the same (Not notcing that Diamond Tiara gritted her teeth while Silver Spoon trying to pushed her away from it) as she holds a smile at him and only said a few words, "So this is Gunpla." As for Fellini and Saphira, both of them got into a scooter bike and driving to the distance. Sei the builder. Reiji the fighter. And now, Kit Builder the student. I never thought that I'll see them take a stallion under their wings to make him the new Miester, at the World Tournament Qualifiers. Heh, it's going to be a blast to see my student take on another student of my own rivals! At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, Kit, Reiji, and Sei were practicing with them using the Build Strike against Kit's Kit Strike. So far, it seems like he's getting better at the time. "Good! Your getting the hang of this, Kit!" Reiji praise which Kit scratch his mane. "Thanks, but still I need to practice more of my own Gunpla." Kit said. "Well, we should get home, it's getting late." Sei said as they nodded as they exit out of the training room as the about to leave, they saw Twilight and Spike coming here. "Twilight? Spike?" Kit said "What are guys doing here?" "Friends of yours , lad." Shop Keeper asked which he nodded as he glances at them. "Welcome princess, I'm so honor to have you interesting in Gunplas. So what can I do for you?" he asked which he look around the shelves while Spike look at the display case like a fanboy. "You see, me and Spike wants to build our Gunplas. Do you have for beginners?" she asked. "Of course." He then look at the shelves until found two of them while Twilight and Spike look at the others. "I recommend this one." "Um, Mr. Shop Keeper?" "Yes?" "Do you have a Gunpla that matches me and Spike?" "Ah yes, let me find the one that's right for you." He scan the shelves until he pick up two Gunplas for them, the HG Gundam Legilis and the HG Stargazer Gundam. With paying the new Gunplas with Shop Keepers special that each of them for starters, gets a nipper and a sandpaper, both of them smile at each other. Then she take a glance at Kit and said, "Um, Kit?" "Yeah?" "Do you think you and your friends can help me and Spike building ours?" "Of course, no doubt." he said which she blushed at his words. Episode 5 - Sword of the AppleEpisode 5 - Sword of the Apple In the Ponyville Schoolhouse, all of the foals headed to the entrance as all of them take their seats as the bell rang. Then Ms. Cheerliee came by with her genuine smile to them as she set her saddle bag down then turn to them, "Good morning, class!" "Good morning, Ms. Cheerliee!" all of the fillies said, giving back their smiles. "All right, before we get started on the cutie mark lessons, I want to say here when I mark you on my list" Ms. Cheerliee said as she grabbed her checklist and begin reading , "Rumble....." "Here!" a grey colt said. "Aura......" "Here!" a light pinkish filly said. "Applebloom?" "Right here!" a light yellow filly with a bowtie on her red mane said. "Sweetie Belle......." "Here!" a white unicorn filly with a light purple and pink curly mane said. "Scootaloo...." "Here!" a orange pegasus filly with a dark purple messy mane said. "Diamond Tiara....." "Right here!" the snobbish pink filly with a mane of light purple with a white streak and a tiara on top of her head. "Silver Spoon......" "Here!" the silver filly with the glasses and white faintly grey mane with a white streak. "Snips......." But there's no answer as the students look as they saw that Snips isn't here. "Guess he's late." Sweetie Belle wonder. "Of course, both him and Snails always be late for class." Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "All right, tardy for him." Ms. Cheerliee check off "Snails......." Same thing as she check him off too. Just as she going to continue calling for the other students, a door swung open and reveal to the surprised students and Ms. Cheerliee the two foals who they breathing heavily while carrying bags from their front legs. "Sorry.....we're.......late......." Snails said, breathing heavily. "Well," Ms. Cheerliee look at them with strict tone "at least you two are here, but since you two got here late, you two have detention for this week." Both of them slump their heads down while gave a exasperated sigh, "Yes, Ms. Cheerliee." "Now, what cause you two to be late today?" Ms. Cheerliee asked them, glaring at them. "Well", Snips and Snails digging through their bags and reach out two Gunplas, a HG Mobile Ginn and HGAG Baqto "we just went to the newly Ponyville's Plamo store, and brought our first Gunplas." "Yeah, we want to build ours so we can hope to battle, like Kit Builder." Snails added, hugging the Gunpla that he gotten, earning a lot of attention to the students "His own is the best of them!" Ms. Cheerliee sighed at their excuses, "At least take your seat, you two." Both of them nodded as they headed to their desk while placing their respective Gunplas onto their desk. Then Ms. Cheerliee then changed her expression and face the students, "Anyway, that would be it. Now for the cutie mark lesson, we're going to talk about........" While she continue to explain more while everypony was focusing on , Diamond Tiara stared down at her desk, gritted her teeth while whispered and growl at the one pony no three ponies that beaten her, "Kit Builder......... and those two..........." Flashback With the speed of sound, the Build Strike charging at the Gyan. "No.........no.........no....." she whimpered in fear "Who the hay are you two?" "LET'S GO!!!!!!!!" Both Sei and Reiji shouted as the Build Strike slash the Gyan in half as explosion set off. It's all because of them! If those two never came, I would able to make the Build Strike mine! And now, because of them, I became a second rated fighter and those three became a popular for foals on Equestria! her thoughts are in rage. Just you wait, Kit Builder, I'm going to build my ultimate Gyan and tear apart of your so called 'successor'. Outside, the foals are chatting with each other, some are playing jump rope, while at the table, Snips and Snails are building their own Gunplas, although they at first are confused but able to build it properly. Then at 1 hour after the first bell rang, all of the foals headed back to the classroom as Snips and Snails show their own Gunplas. Everypony (except Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and the Crusaders) were amazed by how the two colts able to finish it and turns out to be. Most of the students begin question of how they able to build it properly as it turns out, that at one point, at Ponyville, everypony somehow became engrossed with Gunplas and Gunpla Battles as there was a Plamo shop (or plastic model store) near one block to the Golden Oak Library as they saw the son of Model Builder, Kit Builder, practicing with two other stallions as they saw Kit's own Gunpla, the Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package battling with other fighters. After seeing the battle, they were amazed as they want to become like him as their reason of buying their own Gunplas. All of the students were amazed at their story, some of them heard of him shutting himself away from all of the ponies for his loss of his father, others gossip of him somehow changed all of the sudden and being more into Gunpla. Then Ms. Cheerliee blew a whistle from her hoof and said, "All right class back to your seat." They all did as Ms. Cheerliee then pass around papers to the class, "Now we going to do practice of the lesson for the test coming next week. I want you all to work with a partner to work together onto the paper that I'm passing. Does anypony got any question on the work?" Nopony even ask as they all gather their partner and begin working onto the assignments. Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle also decide to work together while Snips and Snails are mostly continue to talk about trying out their Gunplas. After the bell rang all of the foals now packed their stuff and headed out; Ms. Cheerliee told them that they'll continue working on it by tomorrow. As all of the students hang out at the front, the Crusaders headed to Ponyville as Sweetie Belle hold the list of the talents they attempt before, even the ones that Discord once help them. "So any talents that we didn't give a shot?" Scootaloo asked as Sweetie Belle read the list. "Well, unfortunately" she show the list, with check marks of all of them "that's all of them, including the ones that Discord tried to help us." All of them slump their heads with their exasperated sigh, their manes covered their eyes. Applebloom then shot up and asked, "How about we get some shakes at the Sugarcube Corner ? Maybe we can brainstorm for a new list." The others shrugged as they headed to it. Then as they enter and take their order, they brought out a new list from their saddle bags as they begin discussing of other talents they haven't tried. So forth, the Crusaders kept seeing mares, stallions, and foals discussing of Gunplas and Gunpla Battle, "So I made my own custom Gunpla that is stronger!" "Oh yes, those Gunpla Battles became a hit on Canterlot entertainment." "Really?! I really want to battle yours with my Gunpla!" "What's with everypony today?" Applebloom arch her eyebrow in confusion "They kept saying this 'Gunpla' stuff that Snips and Snails told about as if it became a big thing for everypony?" "It is!" Pinkie Pie popped up in front of them, surprising them "Gunpla is the best thing happen in Equestria!" "Pinkie where did you......?!" Applebloom asked. "Don't, Applebloom." Scootaloo interrupted her "Rainbow told me to never question her. She said that anypony question her will go crazy." Not want to further the question, Applebloom changed the subject, "Anyway, so what is this Gunpla that everypony so hyped up?" "It's a plastic model kit that you can build and battle with it in Gunpla Battle! It was so much fun it's like playing a video games only you really control your own creation! Everypony was so hyped up because of the first appearance of them in Canterlot for the Underground Gunpla Battle World Tournament Qualifiers that some of the ponies are start buying their own in order to compete in the competition to be the best!" Pinkie Pie explained to them which they got the message of her rambling. Suddenly, a door open with a ring from the doorbell as Pinkie Pie shot up and wave at the customer entering, "Oh! Hi, Kit!" Kit Builder wave his hoof at her too as he walk to a table near to the Crusaders and sat down, "Hey Pinkie. Do you think you can make some Vanilla Milkshake for me and my friends? 4 of them please?" "Of course!" she piped up as he pay the cost for it as Pinkie rushed to the kitchen preparing the drinks. Then he saw the Crusaders and with curiosity taken over him, he asked them, "Huh? Are you three.....?" "Um, hello there sir. M'ah name is Applebloom." she greet him and point to her friends "This is Scootaloo...." "Hi." Scootaloo wave at him. "And Sweetie Belle." "H-Hello there." Sweetie Belle stammer. "Nice to meet you three." he return them with a smile "If I guess correctly, you three are sisters to some of my friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity." "Well almost, Rainbow is like my sister figure." Scootaloo comment. "Wait you know our sisters?" Sweetie Belle asked him which he nodded. "Yeah, they told me about you three. You see I used to be a blank flank" he explained to them which they're surprised at first "but now I found my talent." He show them his Builder Mark which the others were confused at this. The Crusaders learned all of the type of marks that ponies gotten but they never seen this one before. In their eyes, his 'cutie mark' is a robot face being envelop in dark blue hue particles on the left while the design have a oddly strange shaped yellow horns sticking onto the front and a white piece that smoosh together with two small rectangle making a 'mouth' and a green eyes on top of that. To them, maybe it could be a newest talent that they never seen in Equestria. "Soooooo.........." Scootaloo trying to find a right words of his mark "Your talent is building robots?" "Well close, I actually build Gunplas and enter the Qualifiers to get in the World Tournament with my friends." he explained which the Crusaders gave him odd looks. Then a ring came as the others turned they saw two other stallions with a mare coming in. "Sei! Reiji! China!" Kit wave at them as they have a smile as they headed to Kit's table. "Hey, Kit. Glad you invite us to have snack at the Sugarcube Corner." Sei said taking his seat as Reiji and China take theirs too. "Of course, but I wish Alia can come too." Kit responded. "Yeah, but right now, she's helping with your friend Rarity with picking a design for her." said China as Kit nodded. "Um, Kit?" Sweetie Belle asked him, earning their attention to them "Are they your friends that you mention of enter the World Tournament?" "Yeah, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom, I like to meet my friends." he pointed at them. "The one on the right is Iroi Sei, Reiji, and China." "And the fillies are actually our friends' little sister." Kit introduce to them. "Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle. Also known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Nice to meet you, three." China said, sweetly. "Same thing." Sei nodded. "Hey!" Reiji just wave his hoof at them. "Nice to meet you three. I really like your mane, Ms. China." Sweetie Belle comment at her "It looks beautiful like my sister." "Thank you." she nodded and smile at her. Just then, Pinkie Pie came with a tray of 6 milkshake and passed to them with her signature grin, "There you go! 4 homemade Vanilla Milkshake courtesy of Pinkie Pie and the Sugarcube Corner!" The others laughed at Pinkie's randomness. Twilight's right. Kit thought of it. Pinkie Pie does make anypony smile. Or rather, she had the power to make it happen. "Thanks Pinkie." he said, gave her a smile which she grin at him back as she glance at the Crusaders, "As for the Crusaders, one orange, one vanilla, and one apple!" She passed to the Crusaders as she hopped back to the kitchen. With taking sips, the four ponies sigh happily at the treat that Pinkie made. Reiji taking big sips but not getting a brain freeze surprising the others, as they wonder if Kit wonder if Reiji's immune to brain freeze to which his answer is Reiji's head now blue and had a ice cube, covering half of his face as he clutch his head in pain, giving laugh from the others. After getting a hot coca for him to get the brain freeze off of him, all of them continue to talk about of their training. Turns out, Kit had been doing well with Sei's building skills like he needs to use weathering markers to give his Gunpla the honor of his battles as for Reiji, he able to match his well, but still got a long way to go. After that, Kit then asked China, "China, I was wondering. Do you also do Gunpla Battle too along with Alia?" She shook her head, "Only once." "I see. So do you know which pony had your original Gunpla? Sei and Reiji told me that you and Alia appear so that means that somepony have both of your original Gunplas and build it and battle with it." China start to think about it, putting her hoof onto her chin then glance at him with a mischievous smile, "We can't tell you. It's a secret." Kit chuckled a bit then nodded at her, "All right. But I hope that I can meet them soon." She nodded then change the topic, "So how's Twilight and Spike doing building their own?" "They doing well. They still not yet finished but they know how to build it well." Kit responded. Just then, the door open, revealing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with their smug expression as they dagger their narrow eyes at Kit, who now had a neutral expression including the Crusaders too. "Greetings everypony, today my daddy proposed a Gunpla Battle Tournament in the commemoration of the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament that's going to hosted up by next month, and it's going to happen on Ponyville." she explained which the others were surprised at this as she continue on "Everypony is invited to come, and there's going to be a prize for the winner, a year supply of Gunplas. I'll be there too as the final contestant." That made all of the ponies gasped as each of them have a excited vibe as most of them kept saying 'I'm going to win that prize' or 'That prize got my name to it.' As they saying that they going to enter, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon saw Kit and his friends as they walked towards them, still holding their smug face. "Well, you not going to enter my daddy's tournament?" said Diamond Tiara. "Sorry, but I got some training with Sei and Reiji for the next round of the Qualifiers." Kit said, holding his tone. "Oh, is it because you're not strong without your friends?" Silver Spoon taunt him, getting glares from Sei and Reiji including the Crusaders, for now picking on their new friends. "No, it's because I don't want to waste my time battling with two weak fillies mules." Kit countered which both of the snobbish fillies' jawed dropped down to the floor with their coats are white and having their eyes are in complete shocked. The others were laughing hard at them, China covered her mouth not to laugh, as the Crusaders are laughing hard too. That cause Diamond Tiara to have her face boil red, puff her cheeks and steam coming out of her ears along with dagger her eyes at him, "That's it! Now your cross the line! You going to battle me with your custom Gunplas by tomorrow at the tournament! I see if my daddy can make a exhibition match for this!" "I already told, I'm not going to-" Kit sighed as Diamond Tiara interrupted his sentence. "And if you don't come, then I persuade my daddy to ask the Qualifiers to boot you out of the tournament!" That caused the Crusaders to snapped, as they rushed and blocked the bullies away from them. "That's enough, Diamond Tiara!" Applebloom shouted. "Yeah, you had no right to do that to our friends!" Scootaloo added. "Leave him out of this!" Sweeite Belle defended him. This surprised them as they regain their cool, Diamond Tiara said to them, "Oh yeah? What are you going to do about, blank flanks? " Applebloom gritted her teeth as she said with determination, "I battle you, Diamond Tiara at Kit's place at the exhibition match." This caused the others to be surprised at this. Applebloom is going to battle Diamond Tiara at Kit's place at the exhibition match? But why? She doesn't have a Gunpla and a GB base to battle. "Fine, but once I defeat your Gunpla, Kit's next." she narrow her eyes at her then him which he glares back at her as the two snobbish fillies exit out of the Sugarcube Corner, with the four ponies and the Crusaders watch them leave. Scootaloo turn to Applebloom and asked, "Applebloom, what are you thinking?!" "I'm not going to let her threaten our friends." said Applebloom "Beside, this also a good chance that we the Cutie Mark Crusaders can outshine them." "Yeah, but how we're to fight?" Sweetie Belle asked her "We don't have our own Gunplas nor any training in Gunpla Battle." All of them starting to thinking of how they going to do it until Kit said, "We'll help you." The Crusaders look at them surprised by their offering as Applebloom asked him, "But Kit, don't you need to train for the Qualifiers next week?" "Yeah, but the way you stand up to your friends, that takes some courage for you, Applebloom, right Reiji?" Kit responded. "Yeah, beside you need to teach that snobbish filly to never underestimated you and your friends." Reiji agreeing with him. "Show her the strength of the Crusaders!" The three fillies nodded as they screamed that Kit, Sei, Reiji, and China clutch their ears tightly with their hooves, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS GUNPLA FIGHTERS, YAY!!!!!!!!" "What was that about?" Sei, with his mane flared up, asked Kit, who also got it too. "It's the Crusaders. Don't worry about it." Kit responded, fixing his mane back to his natural style as the others too. Decide not to question further, Kit and his friends along with the Crusaders headed out of the door. At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, the Crusaders look at the samples of Gunplas on the display case, trying to pick which one for Applebloom to use while Kit and his friends along with Shop Keeper watching too. They told him of Applebloom going to battle Diamond Tiara in his place at the exhibition match at Ponyville since she blackmail him of doing it otherwise she'll tell her daddy to boot him out of the Qualifiers. "That spoiled filly...........it's not one thing that she'll threaten to close my shop" Shop Keeper mumbled " but to tell her daddy to boot you of the competition just gone far enough." "I agree, she's a ignorant mule. Um no offense twice." Kit heard a noise as he turn, the others were surprise at the appearance of a mule. "None taken. Twice." the mule replied. The others decide not to question of it as Applebloom scratching her mane trying to figure out which Gunpla she want to make with smoke coming from her head. Shop Keeper came to the fillies and said with his calm tone, "I see you having trouble, miss. Do you need help?" "Well, to tell the truth, I don't know which Gunpla is good for me to build to prepare for tomorrow. " Applebloom look to the case unsure of the choices she want. "There's lots of Gunplas that you can choose or make." Sei replied, joining with Shop Keeper "You just need to let your imagination follow you." "If that's possible." she muttered as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look at their friends worried. Sei turn to the others shrugged of what they can do. Kit thought of it then an idea came up as he came to her side, "Applebloom, I think I know what Gunpla you might like." The others take glance at him, picking up two kits from the shelves, HGUC Gundam F91 and HG Sword Impulse Gundam. The Crusaders were confused as Kit said to her, "Now close your eyes, Applebloom. Imagine the two kits that I showed you will become one. A Gunpla that symbolize you." She nodded as she close her eyes, she imagine of the pictures of the F91 and the Sword Impulse now fusing together as a silhouette Gunpla begin to emerges as colors begin to blend together. She open her eyes widened, "I seen it! My Gunpla!" She grabbed the two with excitement and headed to the counter as with a grin to Kit, he headed there too. Sei then glance at him asked, "What did you did that made her choose the two Gunplas?" "A technique that my dad taught me" Kit explained "When I was little, I sometimes having trouble of finding a inspiration that I want to do, so my dad told me to close my eyes and let my imagination take over to glimpse of my inspiration." The others were taken by this. This is something that Sei did too, when he complete his Star Build Strike Gundam as they gave him a small smile as with the Crusaders return to them, the others headed to the table and start building Applebloom's Gunpla as the night twinkle. Morning rise as everypony lined up, getting sign at the town hall for the Gunpla Battle Tournament as inside of the town hall, everypony got to their seat as roared of fans shouted crazy. As in right side, Diamond Tiara was smirking while at the left, Applebloom narrow her eyes, holding her own Gunpla while Kit and the others were at the stand as Mr. Ral came to their side. "I surprise that you came, blank flank. Thought that you chicken out." Diamond Tiara taunted. "I don't plan on running away from you when you threaten my friend." Applebloom countered. "Very well, then I going to enjoy thrash your Gunpla and Kit's own!" Diamond Tiara said as both got to the generator on the middle. Please set your GB Base Both fillies set their GB base as their info appeared on their screen. Begin Plavsky Particle dispersal As the particles disperse, they begin forming around, creating into a rocky barren land with ruins of a ancient temples laid in sand. Field 2 - Desert As the particles create the base for the fighters, Applebloom look to her Gunpla. It like the fusion of both the F91 and the Sword Impulse with the F91 have the remain on its body and legs, it have forearms, v fin, and the two anti - ship swords of the impulse while the beam riffle and the shield retain the same of the F91. It has bright red colors to the side of the body, shoulder armor, and knee armors matched to Applebloom's mane while the hilts of the anti - ship swords have cutie marks of Applejack and Big Mac. The head is somewhat look the same but have the design almost fuse with the impulse. Next it has some of the rest of the coloring similar to the Sword Impulse and the final touch she did is adding the cutie mark crusaders' symbol on the left shoulder armor. "Please lend me your strength." she muttered as she heard the income's voice. Please set your Gunpla She set it down to the middle as with the particle scan it, her Gunpla's eyes flash in emerald green. Then she place her front hooves on the controls as the particles materialize into the launch sequence. Battle Start "Applebloom, F90 Sword, here I go!!!!!" With the catapult launched the F90 Sword, it spin around gracefully in the sky and land on the ground. Then it look around at the surrounding with the sandstorm blew harder as Applebloom caution look around while walking slowly. Okay, got to be careful........her thoughts ranged as a CAUTION sign screen alert her on the left as she turn and saw, a pink mono eye flash as a yellow beam thrust towards her but she dodge it quickly. Then it rapidly repeatedly thrust the yellow beam at her only for her to use her beam shield to block until the force of it, knock her to the ground as Applebloom shriek and grunted. Then as the sandstorm subsided, the attacker revealed to be a silver coated Gyan but with a newly different armor that sticking out on the side as two claw like arms came from the shoulders holding the two more beam sabers while the normal holding the two originals left. The chest piece was modified in almost reminisce of the SID from Gundam Age but retain the original Gyan body as two of the legs have spikey leg armors with the side have modified pieces of the Sinanju's thrusters as the feet have pointy spike on the end. Applebloom along with the others were shocked by the modification that Diamond Tiara did to her Gunpla. It was unbelievable to believe that this isn't the same Gyan that Kit, Sei, and Reiji fought her before. "You like my new Gyan?" Diamond Tiara taunted as Applebloom grunted "After my defeated at the hoof of your new 'friends' along with Kit's own Gunpla, I decide to tune with it to evenly match theirs. This is my true form of my Gunpla, the Gyan Devastator!!!!" "Sei, any ideas of what kind of Gunpla that she made?" Reiji asked him as a familiar voice was heard from the other side, "A successor to my Gyan Vulcan." The others turned as a brown coated colt with a unusually mane that longer that almost like a mare, wearing a purple jacket as a cutie mark is the Gyan face. "Sazaki Susumu?" Sei sputtered at this "What are you doing here?" "Checking to see my student . Very surprising that I able to find somepony who also a fond of the Gyan like me." he then take glance at Kit and smirk at him "And I'm surprised that you found a student to train to be you and Reiji's successor. If that your student is good as you two." "Sei, do you know that pony?" Kit asked him, ignoring Sazaki's insult. Sei nodded at him "He's a fighter that lives in my neighborhood back at my home world as well as the toughest fighter but his combat is too harsh to team up with him before. He also pilot the Gyan Vulcan, a newly built suit of his Gyan that me and Reiji fought before. " Kit understand his message as they focus back on the battlefield. As the F90 Sword hover away from the Gyan Devastator as it rapid thrusting four beam sabers at the F90 Sword which using its shield then back away and fire its beam riffle only for the beam sliced by it as explosion set off. Then the Gyan Devastator charged at the F90 as it's 'hidden arms' swing its beam sabers but only for a beam riffle sliced as the F90 jump out of the way, it pull two anti air ship swords from its backpack and block each of the hidden arms' attacks while with its regular arms, it then thrust its swords at the chest only Applebloom knocks out of the way, kicking the hidden arms then use its beam shield to block it as the Gyan Devastator continue to pierce the shields. "Pathetic, you are, Applebloom." Diamond Tiara taunting her "You think you can beat me with the Gunpla that Kit build for you? You just the same old blank flank that you and your Crusaders have no right to find talents. So you have no chance of winning!" Those words shocked her as with the final thrust, the F90's beam shield was broken off as with a ram from it, the F90 was toppled down on the sands near to the end of the stage. "Applebloom!" Scootaloo shouted. "Oh no!" Sweetie Belle shocked at this event. "C'mon Applebloom....." Reiji muttered, gritting his teeth. "Applebloom......" China muttered, having the same reaction as Sweetie Belle while Mr Ral, Sei, and Kit watched in disbelief as the Gyan Devastator now march towards to the F90 Sword, struggling to get up. It's no use, what do that we Crusaders able to find our talents..........Applebloom's thoughts wonder in depression. We tried everything we can to find our talents, and still we haven't gotten one..........and who am I thinking...........tried to fight in Kit's place to stop Diamond Tiara from boot him in competition? Some friend that I am.........I guess she's right............maybe we're meant to remain blank flanks for our lifetime...........she then lowered her head, the mane cover her eyes and begin shedding some tears until a voice snapped her out, "APPLEBLOOM, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!" She looked at the voice and saw Kit having a determined expression to her, "Don't let Diamond Tiara discouraged you! You can do this! We're all here for you!" "He's right! Get up and fight!" Sei shouted. "Yeah, show her the bonds of the Crusaders!" Reiji added. "Go Applebloom!" China shouted. "Applebloom!" Scootaloo smiled at her. "Go, Applebloom!" Sweetie Belle shouted. Applebloom was shocked that her friends kept encouraging her as she wiped her tears and glare at Diamond Tiara. "Rggh, you think that your friends' support will win this?!" Diamond Tiara shouted as she charging at her "Time for you to fall!" [INFINITY music begins] As everything including time become slow, the Gyan Devastator slam all of its swords into the F90 Sword only for it disappeared, surprising the others. Then behind her, the F90 now covered in yellowish glow with the addition of little wings on the shoulders, swung its sword and cut off the hidden arms as a explosion set off. "W-what the?!" Diamond Tiara disbelief at this as she charged back at her, block her swords, then seen three of the same machine. "Now there're three of them?!" "Whoa! Did Applebloom split the machine into three?!" Scootaloo asked, widen her eyes at this. "There just afterimages." Sei explained as the Crusaders take glance at him "When the F90 Sword moves at high speed, it's paint peeled off creating afterimages. That's why it's seem to split into three." "Wow, never knew that Applebloom's Gunpla have that potential." Sweetie Belle remarked "You made her a powerful starting Gunpla, Kit." "To tell the truth, I got help from my friends." Kit take glance at Sei, China, and Reiji which they smile back at him as they glance back at the battle. "I will not lose to the like of you!" Diamond Tiara screamed as both Gunplas swung their swords at each others and a huge wave explosion set off. As both blades clashed at each other, the F90 Sword kept dodging the Gyan Devastator's attack, blocking the thrust of the beam sword, while roundhouse kick at the side, losing balance as regain, the F90 Sword swing both swords then combine into one, twirl it, and swing downward towards the head but blocked by four beam sabers. As the suits begin struggling, Applebloom screamed as with her Gunpla's eyes flashed, the anti - air ship sword cut towards the four beam sabers and finally slice the Gyan in half with the explosion set off, ending the battle. [Music Stop] Battle Ended As the bases dissipate both fighters along with the stage's particles, Diamond Tiara, shocked by her loss, taken look at her destroyed Gunpla, whimpering, "My......my Gyan..........my ultimate Gyan........" "I won......." Applebloom was speechless then grew a huge smile "I won my first Gunpla Battle.........." "Applebloom!" Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle shouted as they tackled her on the ground, hugging her. "That was awesome you did!" Scootaloo comment. "You're incredible!" Sweetie Belle added as Kit and his friends along with Mr Ral came to their side. "Congratulation on your first victory, Applebloom." Mr Ral said, stomping his hooves as all of the crowds stomping their hooves and screamed at the most climax battle. "You did well, Applebloom." Kit helping her get up which she shook her head. "It was you and your friends that help me. Thanks, Kit." Applebloom said, which he was surprised at first but hold a smile. Then Applebloom checked to see if she gotten a cutie mark to which is the same result. "Aww, even in Gunpla Battle......." Sweetie Belle complained. "Don't worry," Reiji got their attention "I'm sure that you don't need those marks on you to show your talent. Just go for the ones you like the most." The Crusaders were surprised at first, but they hold a smile to him as Applebloom said, "Thanks, Reiji, but still we need to find it." As for Diamond Tiara, she was crying with river tears as Silver Spoon trying to cheer her up then Sakaki came to her side, having a neutral expression, "Diamond Tiara......." She looked at him,fearing for the worst only for him to pat her on the back and gave her a smile, "Don't worry, you got lot of things to learn about your Gunpla. So just cheer up and accept your losses." She was surprised at first and take glance at Kit, the Crusaders, and the others, then glance back at him with a smile, "All right, Sakaki. Thank you." With Applebloom got her Gunpla on her hooves, only one thing that she said to it, "Thank you, F90 Sword." "That's what happened" Kit explained to Twilight and her friends at Fluttershy's Cottage. Apparently, he and his friends came to visit the mane 6 today after the tournament "Applebloom became a champion on the Gunpla Battle Tournament and won a year supply of Gunplas and to our surprised, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon respected the Crusaders in their school instead of bullying them." "Well dang, no wonder there's a bunch of Gunplas in her room." Applejack commented "I even got surprised when I open her door and 'boom', I got washed by a bunch of them.But I got to say, you and your friends able to help m'ah sister. Thanks." "Yeah, but Reiji is the one who also taught her how to battle well." Kit explained which she glance at him, holding a scowl expression. Kit sensed it, place his hoof on her shoulder, "Listen, I know you're still mad at him, but if wasn't for him, none of this would happen. Just at least put your bitterness aside and make a fresh start." She looked at Kit before take glance at Reiji then sighed and walk towards him and said, "Well if Kit trusted you so much........and Applebloom gotten stronger........." she raised her hoof which surprised Reiji "then I guess we should make a fresh start then." Reiji shake her hoof, nodded, "Of course. And sorry about calling you Country Hick." That made Applejack surprised and smile at him, "Don't worry, if u get hungry, then you and your friends can come to Sweet Apples Acres anytime." Reiji nodded as the girls and the others smiled at Applejack's distrust of Reiji now under the bridge. Kit then take glances at the girls, "So what happen at Sweet Apple Acres?" "We need to help Applejack take care of a pest problem." Rarity responded. "Pest problem? What kind?" Sei wonder. "A bat problem. And trust me, you don't want to know what happen........" Twilight responded taking glance at Fluttershy who was blushing a bit, leaving the others confused but decide not to question further. "How we celebrate our stronger friendship with a nice ripe juicy apple?" Applejack hold a apple in front of Fluttershy who was surprised. "STAND BACK!" Pinkie with vampire fangs came from the middle, surprising them "I want to suck its juice!" As she take a bit on the apple, her vampire fangs was stuck came out revealing only a toy and taking glance at everypony which the others laughed at her antics. As night comes, everypony went back home, only China and Fluttershy were at the cottage. Fluttershy prepare a bed for China as she set her stuff down. "Thanks for letting me stay here, Fluttershy." China said, taking off her glasses. "Oh, it's no problem. It was surprising that I met you when I found this." Fluttershy said, holding a Gunpla box with a picture of a teddy bear fighting "I was wonder if um........" "Don't worry, I'll help you tomorrow." China smile at her which she smile back. In the Carousel Boutique, Sweetie Belle was setting her bed, getting ready to sleep she take a glance on the back of the door, lock it, and went under the bed, pulled out three Gunplas boxes and turn on some lights on her lamp and begin working on it. I hope that tomorrow.........Aila can help me..........creating my Gunpla........Sweetie Belle thoughts raced
Episode 1 - Kit BuilderEpisode 1- Kit Builder "In the land of Equestria, there were six elements that able to not only to save Ponyville and Canterlot from evil forces, but create an everlasting friendship all thanks to six mare who known as the Mane Six. Each of them represent a part of the friendship, first there was the owner of Ponyville's Sweet Apples Acres and the symbol of Honesty, Applejack, second, there was a shy and timid pony who is the animal caretaker and live in a small cottage near to the Everfree Forest as well as the symbol of Kindness, Fluttershy, next there was a pink earth pony who not only work in the Sugarcube Corner but known as the "party pony" and filled everypony with Laughter, Pinkie Pie, then there was a pegasus who live in Cloudsdale and known by her awesome speed and grace as well has a strong Loyalty to her friends, Rainbow Dash, another pony who works in Carousel Boutique as the fashion designer and high society but holds a Generosity to those who love her, Rarity, and finally there was a unicorn who once value knowledge over it but now treasure it and now descend into a alicorn and become a princess along with the Princesses of Equestria that ruled day and night together. Along with the final piece of friendship, Magic, and those who closest to her, she live in the Golden Oak Library and work as a librarian, Princess Twilight Sparkle. And ever since that time,......." "...they may find obstacle that might severe the friendship, but they always find a way to make sure that the Magic of Friendship is strong." said a unicorn finished reading his book as he close it and place near to a miniature toy of Star-Swirl the Bearded. "Kit!" came another voice from downstairs "I'm getting ready to go!" "Okay, bye!" He shouted from his room. After his mom left, he then pack his saddle bags with a checklist, books, quills, and a bunch of tools and paints and headed outside. There stand a light blue coated unicorn with a mane that is somewhat cyan view Canterlot. As the sun raise up, the castle ground of Canterlot shines as the Princess of the Sun itself : the golden castle spark like a new setting dawn as the glass windows shines brightly like jewelries come together as one radiant crystals. Many ponies start to wake up and headed to do their daily life they usual do as some ponies, possibly around his age, headed to the Canterlot Academy and some Unicorns headed to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. "Better be not late" he said "or I be cleaning the bookshelves again." Then he headed to his school as with the other groups of ponies, something caught his attention : six mare ponies talking to Princess Celestia and these mares aren't just school mares, no, they are the legendary Mane Six! Kit felt his ocean like blue coat now dripped down to a pale white as he shiver like he caught a cold as well as frozen with his pupil eyes now shrank a bit, giving a shocked look. Aw ponyfeathers! It's the Mane Six! his mind screamed Not good! Not good! Better blend with the crowds quickly! Panicking, he quickly dashed to the crowds and even the unicorns are confused by it, they simply shrugged it off and continue headed to the castle. Saw the library and being open and empty, he dashed to the front and quickly closed the doors. He then view the library as it gave a reminder of one of the mane six, Twilight once use this library and also serve as her study room. The Canterlot Library is something that can give other Equestria's Libraries a run on their bits. Books, each on types from Fiction, Non-Fiction, etc., store on the shelves on one to another and have a whimsical stair way to another shelves with adventure, history, and romance. He walk to a table and set his saddle bag on to it, getting out a cardboard with strange charts like diagram, five small bottles of paints, a plastic nippers, three shaped fillers, a sand paper, a tweezers, and a unfinished parts of a Ponyville's train model kit. With that, he levitate his sand paper and a part of the kit. "Ok, time to get started." said with his confident voice. "Look its him" one unicorn mare saw him in the windows to her friends. "You mean him, the blank flank stallion" another mare replying, with a hint of disinterest. "Why you care for him?" "It just that ever since his father left, he kept building more of model kits to hold what his father did. After all, his father is a famous model kit builder in Ponyville. Do you think we should talk to him?" "No, I don't think so, consider the fact that model kits are his life now, it's possibly that he doesn't need friends." "I guess so", she replied unsurely, as they passed on but not gave a worried gaze "still, I can't help but to leave him in this state." After that, Kit levitate it down his finished Ponyville's Train. It was identical to the real one with the match details of the colors and clean rims. He then examine it to see if any details that he did is missing, but none is missing so far. "Did it. My dad will be proud of how I did." He said with a calm voice but turn into a deep sadness "If my dad is still here....." He look on the window and gaze the new light blue skies with clouds, white and fluffy, settle on the peaceful time. "Dad, where are you?" he thoughts echoed to him. After packing his stuff, Kit then check on the paints and so far he use all of them. Then he levitate a scroll checklist with illustration of paints and different type of colors. Better get more paints. his mind sighed as he headed down to downtown of Canterlot. Most ponies begin to shop, talk, and having a meals. There's some from the rich class or "High Society" ponies came to buy one of the expensive clothes or going to a entertainment that is one of the best in Equestria. He then search around for a store that has at least a model kit paints, but , from Artistic Store to Beauty Design and so far, none of them have model kit paints or sold out the last jars of it. "Great, just great", he sigh upon defeat. "Just every art stores doesn't have any paints I needed. Guess I'll hold on until tomorrow for their restocks of it and........." A blue particles start to wave peacefully as nopony have a chance to look about except Kit. The particles start to give a warm radiant aurora around as what he thought that it might be containment upon contact to an item or anypony, it just phased through it. With a sighed, he begin to observe it about as he saw a trail of it coming to the outskirt of the city. But then if he was out of his mind that he'll might be in the prison of Canterlot, he start to hear voices of unknown beings. Strange, what pony is making these particles? And the voices? his thoughts wonder. Guess I take a look of the source of it. He follow more of the strange particles as, with his knowledge of the way of the city, follow to the outskirt and to the source of the strange phenomenon : a brand new hobby store, with what strange at first is there isn't a hobby store in Equestria and only in Neighponese. This store has a technology theme to it with strange mechanical stuff that most ponies don't have and the last thing that is new is the name : ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP. "What's a hobby shop doing here outskirt of Canterlot", he wonder. "Did Princess Celestia or Princess Luna knew about it?" He walk to it as he open it, it was something that came from it. Brand new model kits were store on the shelves nice and clean, with model kit tools on the right and the left multicolors of paints and matte glue spray too. Along with that one the far left, is display case with model kits as he walk to it, examine it and found something that set apart from ponies from around the world: each of these model kits were strange bipedal humanoid like robots that carry on the right a strange thing that has a weird circle on the top middle and on the end is a cylinder that has a strange design with a hole on the middle as for the left they carried some sort of shield but in different design. But what set them apart is their heads that the green or yellow "eyes", a v shaped fin on top of it with a red square on the middle, and a face plate that one have a two vertical lines on the middle, giving them a "mouth" design while the others have none. The other ones giving a reminiscent of a cyclops that live in Equestria years ago before ponies came into beings or the design give other mythical creatures in Equestia. The cyclops like thing had a pink eye on the middle black thing while it had some sort of gas mask with a pipe, connect to the back of the head. But what strange thing that almost set them to the first ones is it has green armor or red with one of the shoulder have a spike armor while the other have a rectangle like shield on the other. "What are these strange kits?" he wonder. "I never seen these things before." "Those, young lad, are my gundams." came a calm voice from behind. He turned and saw a earth stallion who has silver coated with a lime color mane, possibly being somewhat spiky, and mostly confusing at first is his cutie mark. His cutie mark is a robotic face, identical to the model kits, but with v shaped fin with a red shaped ruby on the middle and a yellow eyes with red markings on the face plate and two vertical lines on the middle. But what set it apart is that on the right is normal while the left is somewhat covered in the same particles that Kit followed. "Oh, sorry", Kit bowed a bit. "I'm just looking around." "No need for sorry, young lad. I'm just happy that I got my first customers." "Oh, so what are Gundams?" "Ah, to learn of my kits, eh young lad." he said."Gundams are the Neighponese's most biggest mecha franchise. They mostly caught attention to most ponies in the world, each of them have a stories from another centuries in space or in their worlds space colonies and their fractions of who they belong too. For example, the original Gundam or RX-78-2 by its code number belong to a pilot name Amruo Ray from Earth Federation Space Force in the Universal Century. And the other one, the GN-001 Gundam Exia belong to Setsuna F Seiei from the private organization, Celestial Being in the Anno Domini. But the big thing about these franchise is they actually from another world similar to our Earth as well as they actually sentient beings who they take a form of a hairless monkey but very intelligent called humans. Somehow, they actually got to Neighponese from long time ago and become a biggest thing in the world. Also to most kits are usually called 'Gunplas', short term for 'Gundam Plastic Model Kit'. And........" While he explain more of it, Kit felt a little uneasy a bit of how he explain about the Gundams in a detail way. Something tells me that this colt is a fan of this Gundams. his thoughts ranged. And a huge fan of it in a detail it way. "Ah, I get it ok?" he stopped his lecture of it before it gone too far. "They from the another world and Neighponese found it and become a huge success." "Oh, pardon me, young lad for my lecture of it." he was embarrass by it apologize, scratching his mane on the back. "It's ok. It's just I followed some sort of blue particles waves that lead me to this store." "Blue Particles?", he asked in a hint of seriousness. "Why your following it?" "It's just...." he scratching his back mane a bit, trying to come up with the words for it. "I felt something about the particles......I can hear voices of it....don't know why.... but it made me felt that it want me to follow it to here." So that's means......could he be the one....... the stallion thought about it. That does make sense consider that only chosen ones can hear the particles........ "Um.....excuse me?", he asked him, realizing that the owner is in deep thoughts. "Did I something wrong?" "Oh, not at all young lad." "You don't had to keep calling me 'young lad'.", he replied. "You just call me Kit. Kit Builder." "My name is Shop Keeper, young Kit." Guess that means that's his way of remembering names. his thoughts sighed. "Anyway, since your hear, what do you think of my collection?" He stare at the collections of his kits. He never been asked if he can rate any builders of their hobby kits, mainly because he usually don't want to hurt their feelings. Should I....his thoughts raced. I guess so, consider how well his kits are exceptional to all other model kits as well as the details too and smooth shapes. "Well", he said. "The way the details, colors, and rid of the plastic roots with the sandpaper makes the Gundams more accurate to the box arts and I'm found the Gundams to be something that nopony or nobody ever seen these kits. But seen these kits felt my heart want to build it and that's usually my thing whenever I get a kit. I do want to build my Gundam because...... I felt that they gave me something that I never knew in my life. It grant me something that I can be brave and never been in a empty shell and being loney." "Then you had my respect, young Kit." He then reached to the counter and pulled out a model kit and gave to him. "What's this?", he asked with a hint of curiosity of what he gave him. "Your own Gundam." He look at it and found it amazing about it. This kit has a illustration of a new Gundam that something that fits a hero. The first thing that this kit has is the Gundam, doing something called a "pose", looking down on the strange thing in which Shop Keeper called their weapons "Beam Riffle" and carried a shield that's attached to its arms. What he found it that could surpass Rainbow Dash is that it has blue wings with white marks on the top end before it. The head is something interesting that stands the rest of others. It has a curve v shaped fin with two more fin attached on to it where as the middle has a red square on the middle. The face have the same feature as the other ones but two circles on a vertical fashion on the left and right. The shoulder armor is very symmetrical to each other but with a detail of a yellow decal on the top left/right corners and the red armors pieces on the bottom left/right. It also had a some sort of "battle skirt" on to it with two cylinder shaped, sticking out. This kit is mostly white but with blue, red, grey and metallic sliver with it and on the background is similar to the wings on the back but transformed into a fighters that you seen in sci-fi movies. On it, the words on the top left corner is spelled "HG Build Fighters" while the others says in a what to see is Neighponese's language but there's a translation on the middle that gives a tittle of it "Gundam Build Fighters". Next, on the lower left gives a name "Build Strike Gundam Full Package" and the bottom is "Build Fighter Sei Iroi Custom Made Mobile Suit." "Build Strike Gundam Full Package?" he read it. "This is my Gundam?" "That's right, because of being my first customers, why not at least find somepony to be interested into it." "Thanks, but do I need to pay for it because, I only have 20 bits and......." "No, no. In other words, I giving this one as a gift. It's yours." Shop Keeper replied with a calm smile. Kit was surprise by it. Nopony in the store can give you something for free if you're the first customers, but he doesn't want to overboard with that idea, consider that he heard rumors of a dragon grows up upon greed. Oh he wished that dragons can grow up without that greed and be more benevolent to those who cares. He really loves dragons and heroic ones that become a savior to Equestria instead of being monsters. "T-Thank You." He take one look at this and smile of his new gift. Build Strike Gundam......his thoughts echoed. My first Gundam...... "Why you not build it here, young Kit", Shop Keeper asked. "In this store, I allow anypony to build their Gunplas in our building table. I also allow to use any paints there on the top left with no charge for it." He showed to a table room near to the cashier as with a nod, he hurried there and set his supplies down and his Gunpla too. He open the box and it was revealed to have lots of plates that listed from A-D or F as well as the numbers for it too. After separating the plates, he levitate a instruction booklet, showing the Gunpla but on the bottom is the suit itself on the left and the other, two humans that somehow piloting but it's hard for the name of those two because just like the box, it has a Neighponese's language of the description of the suit and the two pilots. He open to see more of the details of the suit. In the first page, it was illustrate with different type of Gunplas and by in his accurate guess, he see as his Gunpla is made from the 4 suits. As he kept looking more of how his Gunpla is posed and its weapons, he turned the page to see the instructions in there. The instructions of it is very well illustrate detail of the parts as he guess of how the parts are going into it and by checking the plates' letters and number of where they go, he levitate his plastic nipper and his sand paper. "Ok, let's go!", he said with another voice of confident as he begins building it. "So, the particles lead him to your store because of his hidden power that's not fully awaken?" came a voice from a strange device that Shop Keeper put on his ear outside in the back of the store. "Correct, it would seem that Mr. Builder was right." he replied. "He knew of his son's potential as a builder would lead by an origin the original builder and the original fighter." "What do they have to do with this?" "Just a hunch. All I know is that if he can unlock his true self, then maybe it's possibility that he'll become the leader of the 'twin'." "The one that's identical to the elements of harmony that you kept talking about? But that's impossible, no magic can have the same thing as the elements." "Your right, Magic can't. But Gunplas will..." Inside, Kit followed the instruction as he carefully place the parts that make the left arm on it. He use his plastic nippers to cut the gates of the shoulder armor out and again on the roots. Then he use his sandpaper to sand it down, giving a clean look. After that, he use a detail marker and detail well as the paint dried up a bit, he snap the parts into it, creating a shoulder armor for it and push the pegs that connect the arms into it and move the arm to see how it placed it. Good, just a little bit left. his thoughts ranged as he place on the right and continue focus on the legs and side skirt. In the right, the body, head and the arms are neatly completed. When Shop Keeper got back, he saw him focus on getting a pieces of the right leg, having a determine look into it and the half completed of his Gunpla. Never before seen a pony that has his father's determination. his thoughts said. You right, Mr. Builder, your son inheritance your love of model kits and his love for you. But he'll need more than that..... After placing the last pieces that's painted, he placed the ship thing in which he follow how to make into a " backpack" into the back of his Gunpla. At last, his thoughts cheered. It's completed. My Gunpla. He then levitate it down and stare at it. It was.....beautiful. his thoughts replied with happiness. The details of the blue winged jet is completed with the correct colors of it , the leftovers of the gates roots is gone and replace with a smooth sleek design, and the stickers that make for the eyes is accurate of the box art. "I see you finished your Gunpla, young Kit." Shop Keeper asked him as he view the completed Gunpla that he did. "Hmm... your building skills is quite amazing, young Kit." he praise by his hardworking of build his Gunpla. "Ah, thanks.", he replied with a rub on his head and take another look at his Gunpla. "It was amazing at building it first time and I love how it turns out." "Kit, tell me what do you do after you build your Gundam?" He thought about it before replied. "Well I might display them to my collection of my other model kits that I already finished." He pulled out his model kit of the Canterlot train and showed to him. "For this, I gonna tried to put this train into the station on my room to make it like the actual one, going to Ponyville." "Well, what if I told you that there's more to it than just building your Gunpla?" "What do you mean?" There's something more than building Gunpla? What could Shop Keeper meant by it? As if the question wasn't enough, Shop Keeper then gave him something from the cashier - a strange device that could be another thing from the future with a steel squared metal and a black screen that covers the front save for the silver circle shaped thing that could be insert a gem into it. "What is this?" he asked curious about the strange item that he received. "You need this for what I'm about to show you." he said as he begun walking to another room that is from the far right of the building table. Kit shrugged by it as he follow him. Then he saw him open a door as it was open, his eyes was gaze with astonishment by it. This room has a strange generator with a hexagon shaped and on the middle of it is a clear blue orb, rested on to it and 6 lines that makes a connection to the orb. "What's this?!", he start to quickly look at it with a great interested like how Twilight was amazed by new libraries. "What's that, Shop Keeper?" "That, young Kit is the new Plavsky Particle Generator." "Plavsky Particle?" he question about it. "You mean the particles that I followed?" "Correct, these particles are not entirely magic, but rather a technology from another world. The particles can interact with special plastic that only Gunpla have and animate them. It can also recreate the weapon effects' and the scenery of any game stage, even Equestria stages. It was recently discovered approximately 10 years ago before the Mare in the Moon incident in the Neighponese when the Gundams franchise came. In other words, it going to be like a simulated battle with your Gunpla for fun." Kit stare at it as unusually, his heart is burning like crazy like something that Rainbow Dash is always like it when there's a competition involving her athletic skills. "Let me give it a shot with my Gunpla, Shop Keeper." he said with a smile. "Very well, Kit. If you want to try it out, be my guess." PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Kit look at the strange device that the generator command and slot it into the middle. The black screen then lit up revealing words in neon blue : OPERATOR BUILDER NAME- KIT BUILDER FIGHTER NAME-KIT BUILDER GUNPLA SCALE-1/144 CLASS-HGBF MODELno.-GAT-X105B/FB NAME- BUILD STRIKE GUNDAM FULL PACKAGE BEGAN PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus, the generator activate and a multitude of bluish particles flow around and in the flash, reveal to be a familiar location...... FIELD 13- PONYVILLE Ponyville?! his thoughts screamed. He never seen that a particle can create a stage in a form of Equestrian location. Then a screen was in the middle and in a same neon blue read- GUNPLA BATTLE PRACTICE BATTLE With a surprise around him, the particles start to gather around him, creating some sort of hologram like base. "Whoa! This is incredible!" he amazed by the feature of the system did. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA He levitated it down to the middle as a miniature of the particles start to scan it and with it, his Gunpla's eyes flashed, symbolize that his is alive. My Gunpla........is alive! his thoughts screamed it again with pure excitement as the rest of the particles make into a what to seem a launch sequence. Then around him, two yellow orbs appeared on him as with a guess, he placed his front hooves on it as his Gunpla set for launched. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Let's Go!", he screamed as the docking board push it as with great speed, his Gunpla launched into the Ponyville stage. With that, his Gunpla was flying around in the hologram of Ponyville. But his Gunpla already to start go out of control and lose its attitude on air as it start to fall on to the SugarConer Cube. "Dah!" he trying to move the orbs or anything to control it but to no avail. "How do you control it?!" But it was too late as it crashed down onto SugarConer Cube as it look around the wreckage, the Cake's home is demolished. All of the gingerbread house, gumdrops, and every candy goodies were crushed. Heh..heh ..heh....his thoughts ranged with a sweatdrop on his mane. Good thing it's just a hologram, otherwise if was real, Pinkie or the Cake family will assaulted my Gunpla with cake. "Ok better to know the basic stuff." he said as with great patience, he begin to move his Gunpla around, even he crashed into other parts of Ponyville, including the Golden Oak Library. But after that, he got the hang of the basic movement. "Good, now for flying." he move the controls a bit as the Gunpla start to fly. Just like what happen, he takes time to control his movement in the skies, even crashing into Cloudsdale and the result is the same. "Nice, I get the hang of it!" he said with excitement and continue flying around, dodging the cloud homes and the WonderBolt Academy with great speed. Then, a CAUTION sign screen appear in front of him as he about to wonder what's going on, his monitor shows him in the clouds, a yellow laser is headed for him. "Yikes!" he shocked by it as he dodge it as the beam hit the academy, disintegrated it into nothingness. Sawing the academy is now into ashes, he was in shock and confused. What kind of thing can destroy it in a instant? his thoughts ranged as in the dark clouds, something come out of it. It was some sort of purple and red like legless cyclops but with claws as its legs that give a chill in his spine. It heads had some of black things, covering around half of it as it has a pink eye and a strange mouth thing that might be a cannon and a red spikes that the other one, sticking upwards. Next, it has a shoulder armor that stick upwards and it has a pair of claws, identical to the legs it has. "What is that, Shop Keeper?!" he asked him with a hint of fear. "Was that a part of a model kit?" That looks like a Hell Zeong...But in a different version.....Shop Keeper wonder about the situation. The simulator can't have those things unless.......?! his eyes widened after realize it. The Hell Zeong now fire its beam cannon from the arms at the Build Strike, but Kit manage to dodge it in time as it launch the claws as the claws now, remotely fire around him as he kept dodging the onslaught, even using the shield to block it. "Kit, whatever that thing is, it isn't register in the practice battle. You had to destroy it quickly!" "But how?!", he asked, bewilderment by it. "I didn't even get the chance to use the weapons!" Before he can get a answer, he kept dodging the beams up and down, but then, the other claws caught it in a vice grip, unable to move. "No! My Gunpla!!!" he shouted as he trying to move to break free, but no avail as the Hell Zeong prepare to fire it mouth beam. No.....my Gunpla.....it's going to.....be decimated......his thoughts now locked in fear as well his body too as the beam started to increase higher. NO....Somepony....Anypony....... Then the beam now ready to fire as in slow motion it fire as he close his eyes for his defeat. "HELP ME!!!!!!" he screamed as without a notice, a blue light engulf the build strike gundam, protecting it from the beam attack, causing the claws to lose its grip, and engulf Kit. When he open his eyes, he saw that he was in a white place, sparkle by other colors of the particles. He begin to look around of his new surrounding to see if Shop knows about it, but so far, he wasn't here. "You ok, kid?" a voice echoed, like a sound of a young colt. "Yeah, what happen?" "Your in the heart of the battle, kid." another voice was heard, this time it was another young colt, but has a personality similar to Rainbow Dash. Then, he saw something that might broken the Equestria physiology : two bluish particles spirits, one light blue and one light red descend to him as it materialize into a energies that gave shaped of two humans, but he can't tell about because of the brightness. "Who are you guys?" "Just some people to help those who in trouble." "Oh", he wonder about the spirits' nature. "Why did you came to me?" "We heard your cried for help when your start playing Gunpla Battle against the Hell Zeong Terror. Even if your a newbie, we can't turn back on those who need help, even in Gunpla Battle." "Yeah, I just started because I was known to be a best model kit builder in Equestria and the Gunpla is another thing I was intrested. But...", he knows that he need to tell the whole thing to them. "The reason I got into it is because, it show me that I can face any challenge without hesitation and to never to be afraid of who you are." He hoped that the spirits understand him of his love of Gunpla, but after a few minute, the red spirit said, "Don't worry, if you truly love Gunpla with all of your heart, then we will not hesitated." With that, the two spirits flashed and illuminated the field, causing him to shield his eyes. Once that done, he saw that he was back into his Gunpla Battle as his Gunpla was safe. Then, somehow, the two spirits now descend into his body and before he know it, he was cover in a dual light blue and light red and his eyes now in also the same colors as the aura. Shop Keeper was amaze by the phenomenon that Kit was in the state now. Those auras...could that means they're....?! his mind raced with astonishment by it. "Let's go, kid!", Kit's voice sounded like the red spirit. "Right!" his regular voice replied with confident as he and the two spirits, control his Gunpla as the Hell Zeong Terror fire is remote beam, but the build strike dodge fast as with the red spirit, he fire the beam riffle and shot the legs claws, destroying it instant. "Here it comes!" his voice now sound of the light blue spirit. "Ok!" (red) With that, they charged at the attacker as it kept firing the beams to halt it, but it kept dodging it as with quick reflex, the build strike fire its beam riffle again at the claws, destroying it again, leaving it defenseless as the build strike grab its beam saber for the final blow. "Your finished!" the red spirit screamed as the monster about to fire the mouth beam, the build strike stab it, halting it and slash it the body in half, vanquish the monster once and for all. BATTLE ENDED With that the stage's particles suddenly descend into him again as with shock and confuse by these events, it did something to his blank flank : the particles start to descend it and creating an image. Once that's done, the particle start to flash around and disappeared, reverting back to normal as well as his Gunpla drop down to the generator. "Whoa! What just happened?" confused by it as he take a quick look at his once blank flank, but now a cutie mark appeared. It has the same image of the build strike but it what's similar to the Shop Keeper's flank is that the left engulf in the Plavsky Particles. "Where did this come from?" "I knew it.", Shop Keeper said with a hint of being right. "Knew what?" Kit was a little agitated. "What's going on? What are those spirits? Why did that monster attack me for no reason?! Are you hiding something from me?!" "I guess if you want your answer, you had to wait by tomorrow, young Kit." "But-" "Look, I know your surprise by it too as if was lying, I say I was too. Beside, it's going to be night time soon. I had to close my shop soon." After a few deep breaths, he nod by it, "All right, but don't forget it." After packing his stuff, he take a quick gaze on his Gunpla and put in the box and store it in his saddle bag. "Well, good night, see you after school." With that, he gallop way back home as he begin to stare into the starry stars. The stars shines beautiful like the milky galaxies that dance on the outer space. "At least, the stars kept me going....."
Episode 2 - The Two PoniesEpisode 2 - The Two Ponies In a unknown darkness abyss, Kit was looking around for any signs but so far only nothingness is what he found. He then saw a bright neon pillar blue light was descend down to the abyss, waiting for anypony to come ford. With his curiosity take over, he walk forward to it as he got near to it, he felt his newly cutie mark reacted to it as wonder if he want to do it, he touch the pillar, causing it to flash out more of the same Plavsky Particles as with that, the scenery transform from the darkness abyss into a gleaming galaxies with billions of stars and milky way. "Whoa! This is incredible!" his voice echoed, which repeat it until it dies away as he gaze the beauties of space. I read about space, galaxies, and anything that involves anything beyond our home but this.......takes beauty to a whole new level. His mind was filled with excitement about it as a bright light flash as two familiar silhouette was headed for him. The shapes is very....bipedal.....taller than anypony except Princess Celestia or Princess Luna. However, just like the spirits, their bright respective neon colors made it harder for him to get a better look at it while he shield his eyes. "It's you two....." he wonder about them. But before he can asked them more, everything start to illuminate the scenery as a bright flash happened. A sunlight hit his left eyes, stirring him from his deep sleep as he woke up, he found back into his room. His room is very well cleaned with a upper shelves on top of his wall, giving his display of Ponyville's most famous ponies from the pre-classic era, including a well detailed Star Swirl the Bearded. Next between it are the well made detailed model kits of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and finally next to it is his first Gunpla, the Build Strike Gundam Full Package, pose as looking down the barrel of its beam riffle thanks to the GB base that act as a action base. "What was that about?" his mind wonder of the strange dream he's in as he use his magic to open the curtains, the sun shines as another new morning brighten Canterlot. He began to view the town's usual daily life as on the far left that he turn, saw the town of Ponyville. At least, the Ponyville that the Gunpla Battle didn't cause a chain reaction to it. his mind sighed of relief of what happen last night. "Kit!" his mother called from downstairs. "Going to pick up some food for dinner!" "R-Right!" he headed down stairs as his mother got her supplies, from parchment scroll, a 100 bits, and keys to the house. His mother has a gentle aura eyes that remind of Princess Celestia, her mane has somewhat similar to Fluttershy but with a shorter bangs and a azure too it. Her coat has a ocean blue that give anypony a view of a beautiful beach in the summer time. "Going to make a special meal for this week?" "Would that be Fried Hay?" "Apple Stir Fried." "Huh?!" he exclaimed in disbelief about it. Sure, he's ok with apples that are sweet but to make a stir fried is very strange. It gives out a Sweet and a zesty flavor with her cabbage, fried eggs, and cinnamon. "You said that my Apple Stir Fried is a unique, is that right?" she start to tease him about it. "Y-Yeah." he stammered a bit, hopefully that he don't hurt her feelings about it as she about to go outside to do her shopping list. "Be good in school, Kit! Oh, one more thing, I got a package for you by a strange pony by the name of Shop Keeper." she gave a brown box to him before she leave. That hit his mind. Shop Keeper gave me a package? How does he know of where I live? So many question left being unanswered by him. First there was a Gunpla kit, then a simulated battle, and the strange particles gave him a cutie mark in the form of his build strike gundam. Oh well....his thoughts gave in about this events. Better to see what he gave me. He tear the box as before he know it, he was completely confused. Inside is a miniature of a saddle bag that has a clip, judging that it can clip to his saddle bag and 4 new model kit tools along the sides. Behind it is a note as he levitate it was read- 'For your Gunpla and your GB base to take you anywhere. Shop Keeper.' Realize the spaces, that he take a carefully look at it, allow him to store his Gunpla and take it whenever he goes, he decided to test it out as he hurried upstairs to his room, he separate it and with carefully put the wings into 'docking' mode and the rest stand up straight, he place there as it slide down perfectly as well as the GB base too. "Ok, better to get there in time." he said as he hurried to get to school on time, even grab any food from the fridge as his quick breakfast. Meanwhile, out of nowhere, a crimson coated pony with a dark blue sunglasses was laying down on the rooftop of the Canterlot castle, staring the view from upside down. "Ah, it always amaze me every time!" he said with a chuckled. "Every where in this place have ponies around them! How many times it get better than Arian and Japan places?" "Hey!" came a voice as he saw a royal guard in the courtyard. "What the hay are you doing there?! Get down there before you get hurt!" "Don't worry, old colt!" he got backed up as stand on his hind legs, he use his right legs to feel the wind. "Old colt?! In case of you don't know, I'm only 25!" he shouted back at him. "Anyway, get down! Get down!" But to no avail as the crimson pony felt the wind and smiled as if the wind told him, he take off his sunglasses as his amber eyes was showed as he look at what the wind blew. "I decide where to go!" "Eh?! Kit finally got a cutie mark?!" one of the stallion exclaimed about the gossip. Somehow, everypony started to gossip about Kit's sudden cutie mark. "Yeah, it's was surprising at first, but it's looks like that the blank flank now finally got it." one of his friends surprise by it. "So any idea what's his talent is?" "That's the thing about it. His cutie mark is very.....unusual." "Unusual? Cutie mark may have unusual design but each of them have of what talent the ponies are good at! So why it's unusual?" "Because......" But before he can say, the two ponies saw him as they already got his answer. Everypony around start to stare at Kit's cutie mark with mix expression of confused, disturbed, or wonder. Ok why in Celestia's sake are staring at me? his thoughts confused by this revelation as he quickly walk quickly to his class to ease this disturbing event, unoticed that he bump into somepony. "Ow!" he rubbed his forehead a bit as his stuff was dropped down from his saddle bag. Saw his stuff was scattered around, he quickly pick it up. "Sorry, I didn't see you there. Hope that I didn't hurt you or..." Before he can say more, his eyes were upon who he bumped into : a purple alicorn that he already familiar with the history of his book, Heroes of Equestria, now standing in front of his eyes, Princess Twilight Sparkle. "It's ok, I guess you got something in your mind." she giggled by his distraction. But before she can ask him if he needs help on getting the rest of his stuff, she saw that his ocean blue coat now replaced with pale white and having a complete shock as he gotten a stage fright, something that Fluttershy once had before or seen a ghost. "Are you ok?" However, he quickly got his stuff and past her and hurried to his class, leaving her confused by his strange action. Did I did something wrong to him....? Her thoughts wonder of his peculiar action as she heard more gossip of other student, talking about him. "Oh princess, it's a honor to come here." one of the student says as the rest of the students bowed to her. "Please you don't had to do this every time I'm here." she said with embarrassment by it. "I was wonder what's all of the gossiping?" "Well, it's about Kit Builder's cutie mark." "Kit Builder? You mean the son of Model Builder, the famous Ponyville's model kit builder?" "The one and the same." "Ok, so why are you talking about him?" she wonder about it. "Judging how you guys talking about him, I say that he's very uncomfortable about it." "It's about his cutie mark." "You mean to tell me that the reason you and the rest of the students start gossip about him is because he finally got his natural talent?" "No that's not it. What I'm about to say is isn't possible for magic to do it and only one guess : his cutie mark was encoded by a technology from another world. In other words, his cutie mark is created." After a brief silence, she sighed of how naive the two stallions prediction. "Listen, I don't know if you guys read too many comic books, but a artificial cutie mark is impossible. It only comes when anypony find their true talent." "I guess..." "Now at least you guys should stop with all of this gossip about him.", she strictly said, acting more like the princess. "Yes ma'am." they all said in unison as they headed back to their classrooms. After that, most of the ponies began to walk to their respective classroom when the bell ranged. She sighed as she look at the direction that Kit headed. Kit.......her mind echoed with wonder about him. She had heard from Lyra Heartstring about his father being a best model kit builder before the Mare in the Moon incident. But just before her coronation as a princess, his father went on a world travel for unknown reason and never came back. Believe that his father is gone, he shut himself in front of everypony and continue spending through out the day building model kits to honor of his father. However, that causing him to be friendless and mostly being a loner but she also surprise that he always want to be friends to her and her friends consider that he view them as heroes but for some reason, he kept avoid them and scared of them. "Kit, if you want us to become your friends to cleanse of your loneliness of your loss.........", she said with a sympathy tone. ".......why you kept avoiding us?" She then headed back to the train station to ride back to Ponyville. Meanwhile, after school, Kit headed to the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP to finally get the answer that happen yesterday as he open the door, he was in for a surprise visit - a pink filly with a crown hence the cutie mark and another filly that wears glasses with a cutie mark that has a silver spoon was demanding something from Shop Keeper. "What do you mean that somepony already had it?!" The pink filly was furious at something that really tick her off. Who are these fillies.... he wonder about them, then he realize those two fillies from before. Wait! These are the fillies that mostly the snobbish group in Ponyville school! Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon! "Like I said, young diamond." Shop Keeper said, remaining his calm personality. "The kit you want so badly is in good hooves by a young colt who will become a build fighter." "A build fighter? Yeah right!" Silver Spoon scoffed by his reason. "Nopony in Equestria have beaten us strongest fighters!" "Now, listen here, mister! You better tell me of who got the rarest Gunpla that I been searching for!" Those two are into Gunpla?! his thoughts now whacked by this event. Things got crazy when I got into it. But what Gunpla are they obsessed with so much? "I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is that he'll become the champion of the world tournament." "All right, stop playing games with us! Now tell us where is the Build Strike Gundam Full Package!?" Those words hits him like a meteor. Build Strike Gundam Full Package?! Those snobbish fillies are after my first Gunpla?! His mind screamed about this situation. He was utterly shocked about it, but he shake the uncertainty as he kept his mouth shut a bit, trying not to interfere with this situation. If those fillies are fighters, then if I faced them with my Gunpla, I might lose it! "I already told you, the build fighter don't just pick the Gunpla." Shop Keeper still retain his cool. "The Gunpla choose the build fighter. In other words, it match to those who connect their heart with it." "That's it!" Diamond Tiara shouted back at him. "If you don't give the name of the colt who have the Gunpla that I want, I'll tell daddy to close!" Close the Shop?! That's unfair! his mind screamed about it. Shop Keeper first came to Equestria to open a hobby shop here in Canterlot to hope to promote Gunpla and now these fillies are about to end it?! The anger in him rage him like a raging buffalo that want to ram into those who provoke it. "You can't do that!" he raised his voice, caught the fillies and the owner attention. "And who you suppose to be?!" Diamond Tiara gave him a dirty look on him. "Kit. Kit Builder." "Oh, so the son of Model Builder is here to defend the old colt's shop?" Silver Spoon did the same thing she put up to him. "Listen, just because there's a model kit that is sold out doesn't mean you can officially close the shop!" he protest it. "Shop Keeper build this store so he can promote Gunpla all around in Equestria! Don't you girls care of how hard he work to achieve his dream?!" "As if! My daddy owns this hobby store and if there is something that doesn't satisfied what I want, I had the power to automatic close this shop!" Diamond Tiara said with a uncaring glance. "Not only that, but we been searching for the rarest Gunpla that's a stock build meaning that's a few Gundams that only came from the Build Fighter arcs!" , Silver Spoon added to her statement. Build Fighter arcs? My Gunpla is a stock build that only a few that ever seen? he thought about it. It did make sense, that there is some items that haven't build or came out in public. But what's a build fighter arcs? "So are you going to fight for the old colt's shop?" Diamond Tiara reached out a similar miniature saddle bag and take out a Gunpla that look like a purple cyclops with a beam sword and a shield. "Or you can run home to your mommy?" He take a quick glance to his miniature saddle bag that contain his Build Strike Gundam Full Package. I haven't gotten much training in Gunpla Battle and if I lose with my Gunpla, I might lose more than my Gunpla. But still, I can't let those snobbish fillies get a way with it! After taking a few breaths, he said with a determination "Fine let's battle. But I need to borrow Shop Keeper's Gunpla first." "You want to borrow one of mine, young Kit?" Shop Keeper gave a surprise look. "Yeah ", he said " I want is that one next to X one." He then open his display case and gave him the one the kit. It has a distinct feature of a winged bird hybrid with a large beam riffle (Shop keeper called it a Buster Riffle) and a red shield that give a reminiscent with a green gem on the chest. Now he hope he can fight that spoiled rich brats to save this store. He might still be in training but even so he had to fight them with or without training. PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both fighters set their GB base as just like yesterday their info of their Gunpla appear in the screen. BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus the particles start to simulate a stage and in a bright flash......... FIELD 3- FOREST Spring season huh? his thoughts about it when the pink flowers flew away as the particles create a 'base' for them. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA Both set their Gunpla as their Gunplas came to 'life' with their eyes flashed. Both fighters stand on their hind legs for their front hooves to connect to the yellow orbs as the particles create the launch sequence. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Wing Gundam, Let's go!" "Diamond Tiara, Gyan, Here I come!" Both units launched out of the docking sequence as with the Wing Gundam, it landed graceful on the ground, looking down on the barrel of its buster riffle, ready for battle. Then, a CAUTION sign appear to Kit with the right arrow blinking faster, meaning that the enemy is coming from the right as he turn to the right, the Gyan jumped from the forest as it prepare to strike him, but the Wing Gundam managed to blocked it using its shield. However, it began to push him, giving him off edge as it kept thrusting its beam saber repeatedly to shield with brute force. Damn her reflex are too fast to keep up with movements! his mind reeled with the situation, doing his best to keep up the defense. "So is this all you can do as a fighter?" she taunting him for his slow defense. "How pathetic!" She push him with great force causing him to move backwards, but he manage to still stand as he throw it buster riffle and open its shield compartment and grab its beam saber as it charges at it and clash its saber against it as sparks clash one after another. But the Gyan then charge it back causing him to lose it focus as it cause his beam saber to slip up as with that, the Gyan thrust it at the gem hole, breaking it and the kit, causing it to explode. BATTLE ENDED Kit was shocked by it. He failed to stop the snobbish girls to close down the shop, and he failed to save it for Shop Keeper. Even though he want answer of the yesterday battle, he still consider to be a friend to him. Worst, his Gunpla was impaled by the brutality of her fighting. It means that her skills is cold and ruthless. As the particles and the stage faded away, he saw the damaged of the Wing Gundam. No....I couldn't......I.......I........his thoughts now starting to break into pieces. "Ha! That what you get for facing us strongest fighters!" she start to gloated of her skills. "Yeah, your nothing but a newbie into Gunpla Battle!" Silver Spoon taunting him, looking sad at the destroyed suit. "Now as I said, by tomorrow your store will closed down when I go here again, so unless you don't want to lose it, you better get me my rarest Gunpla!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walk out of the store, laughing at the battle. After a brief silence, Kit handed back the Wing Gundam to him. "Sorry about your Gunpla. I'm responsible for it and if I had to pay for a new one....." "Don't worry, I got extra parts for it." His calm personality still remains the same. "But what I don't get is why didn't use your Build Strike Gundam?" "Because I'm afraid that I lose it if I lose this battle." he turned to his miniature saddle bag. "And even if I lose it, they might close the store." "Kit, sometimes as fighters, we need to have the courage to fight the challenges that even have the risk to it." "Yes, but I don't know if I had that courage. Not even when I fought alone the monster before the two spirits help me." he muttered as he exit the store, depressed by the battle and now losing something that's important to him. As the sun goes to the dusk, the park in Ponyville still have ponies doing their daily base like talking, playing, watching, etc. However Kit sat down his haunches and still depressed, thinking about how might it been if he won the battle using his Build Strike Gundam. No, I don't had the skills like the two spirits have! his thoughts screamed. If only I was brave enough and faster, I would able to stop the snobbish fillies. And it's my fault because Shop Keeper is going to lose his business! His eyes start to watered a bit, showing a little bit of tears even though he tried to wipe it out. Dad, if only if I'm like you. Brave, Courageous, and Noble to those around everypony. "Hey your ok, kid?" came a voice from the left as he turn to that direction, was a earth pony with what strange this is his peach coat with a blue mane match to his tail and the way his mane give out a younger colt look and on his neck is a green gem identical to the one on his cutie mark. "Well, not really." he said with his honesty. "My friend's business is going to close down by the snobbish rich brats because of me got a rare model kit by my friend's choosing and I couldn't stop them because I was scarred." "Oh, I'm sorry about it." he sincerely apologize to him. "Your friend must work hard from making that store." "Yeah, I guess..." his mind still deeply sadden by it. "Hey, Sei!", another voice was heard this time with brash attitude as both turn to the right and saw a crimson pony with a normal red mane and a sunglasses on top of it But what strange is that he wearing the same gem necklace and the same cutie mark as the blue mane pony in which his name is Sei. "Got some food for us! Here!" he throw an apple to him as he catch it, despite slipping quickly. "Thanks, Reiji." "So what's wrong with this guy?" he might asking him about him, taking a bite to it. "Well, he tried to defend his friend's business from the snobbish brats, but because he was scarred, he unable to stop them from closing down." he explained to him also taking a bit to the apple as the crimson pony, known as Reiji, came to him. "Hey, kid." he bent down to his level and Kit look at him. "Don't let your fear take you over, no matter how hard and scary your path might been, you need to face those challenges around you." That something like how Shop Keeper once said to me. he thought about what he said and begin to think it over. I guess I had to do it in order to save Shop Keeper's shop. "I'll keep that in mind, thanks." Then his stomach begin to growl a bit, causing him to be embarrass by his hunger. "You want some? It's good.", Reiji offer some bit of his apple. "No thanks." "All right." he turned to leave. "See ya." Then, a orange hoof screech and stomp down grabbing his left legs that holds the apple. The one who did was an orange earth pony mare with a freckles and a yellow mane that ties in a 'ponytail' including her tail. The other thing she has was her cowboy hat and a cutie mark with three apples. Wait three apples? his thoughts ranged. That means that this is the owner of Ponyville's Sweet Apple Acres and the symbol of Honesty, Applejack! "Gotcha y'all little thief!" she accuse to Reiji, giving out a angry glare, and shocked both Sei and Kit about it with him not amused by it. "Oi, now you can't walk to ponies and call them thieves!" "Yeah right! You stole some of m'ah apples from my farm!" This confuse him as he take a quick glace at the bitten apple. "This?" Flashback "I just walking around in town and saw those apples trees, so I took some for me and my friend, that's all." He was walking around and caught a glimpse of an apple orchards, in which he got a hunger smile into it. "WHAT?!" both of them exclaimed, giving out a shocking expression by his naivety of taking the apples from the apple trees. "That's property of Sweet Apple Acres!!! I can't let you take those apples unless you pay for them!!!" "Then put somewhere else where it's safe, country hick!" "COUNTRY HICK?!" she exclaimed, tick out by that name. "How dare you be so brazen!!!" Watching them fighting, Kit and Sei saw other ponies watching them arguing, whispering and starting to know if they had to find a Royal Guard. "I'm gonna buck you for that and take you to the Royal Guards!" Applejack threaten him. "What?!" Realize that it's going to make this worst if they start bucking each other, Kit stand up quickly and confront them. "Please stop, Ms. Applejack!!!" She then at glare at him first, but quickly give a surprise glance at him. "Wait are you....?" "I'm sure that he didn't meant to steal those apples. I pay for those this time." Both Sei and Reiji were surprise by his actions as he pay for those apples, ponies now starting to leave as the dusk now changing to the starry nights, both of the ponies sat down at the benches. "Reiji, this is what happen when you and I first met in Japan." "Yeah, sorry about that, Sei." "Don't worry about it. I'm just hoping that the other one is feel bad too." Then, Kit came back as he levitate three apple ciders to them with a smile on top of that. "Here, you guys might be thristy." He place it down to their side on the benches. "Thanks", both said in unison as they grab it and all three of them drinking it but Reiji then felt something that made him spats out. "What is this?! It feels funny into my mouth." "You guys never had apple cider before? Well, you guys are lucky because they're one of the kind that you can get at the Sweet Apples Acres in Ponyville." "But it taste good." He then drinking it with both of them finished it, they sighed with happiness of their first taste of apple ciders. "Wow, that's sweet!" "And refreshing!" Kit smile at them, feeling that they enjoy it so much as he look at the beauty of the stars. The stars now twinkle like a diamond crystal as he remembers something that he and his dad usually do back when he was a filly. His dad usually show him the beauty of the nights as first that he read that because of Nightmare Moon want to put it in eternal night, he was scare of going outside at night. But his dad told that even in the night sky, there is a little lights called star that said to grant lights in the darkest time. So as long there is the night, the stars will twinkle it to make sure that it'll warm those fillies with light, so they enjoy the starry skies of the night. Princess Luna created it after she was free by the elements of harmony as he believe that everypony should never ignore the beauty of the nights. "Sorry about my friend. He did the same thing when we first met." Sei apologize to him, snapped him out of his trance and glance at him. "Yeah sorry got you guys into trouble." Reiji scratch the back of his head, embarrass by his naivety. "Don't worry, you guys might come from overseas and move to Equestria so guys don't know much of Ponyville," he said never bother by it. "We ponies should at least help each other whenever they're need." Surprise by his words, Sei nodded at Reiji in which he nod it back, realize that something would Sei would say during the time they met each other. Then, both of them stand up as they face him. "Don't worry, we'll pay you back. That's our promise." "You don't have to..." "We need to otherwise it might stain our honor from ponies from Japan." Wow, guess they both exaggerated, his mind said, giving a embarrass smile. Then, Reiji holds a green gem with a string wrapped it around it giving the form of a necklace identical to the ones they're wearing. "Here, we give you this." "What this? A gem?!" He wave his hooves in disbelief as he said, "Sorry I can't take that expensive!" "Don't worry, it's just a rock." Sei reassure him as Reiji gave to him. "What's your name?" "Oh, Kit. Kit Builder." "Sei. Iroi Sei." "I'm Reiji." "Iroi Sei and Reiji." he said, hopping to remember their names as both pick up their empty bottles and starting to walk backwards. "Whenever in doubt or trouble, just make a wish on that rock." Kit take a quick glance and holds a confuse expression to what they meant by it. "At anytime your in a situation that you can't overcome, we'll be running there to help you there and overcome it together." Both of them threw up their bottles as the bottles landed perfectly to the trash can and face him with a promise assure to him. "That's our promise. Our vow." Reiji and Sei show their own green necklace in which shines brightly. Kit surprise by their service to help him in case of any hard situation. He scratch the back of his head, having a nervous smile. "Wow, thanks, you guys are much like super....." ".....heroes." In a instant without a trace, the two ponies are gone. He stand up a bit and look from left to right to see them but so far no luck. "Where they go?" In Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns at morning in the library, Kit read some of the books about Star Swirl the Beaded for his history class as he place the book in the table as he levitate some parchment scroll and his quill, using it for his note taking for the test next week. He now wears the green gem that the two ponies, Sei and Reiji gave him as he stop writing, he take a quick glance into it, wonder about the promises that these ponies going to do. Then, without notice, another pony take a seat next to him as he look, he's shock by who's next to him. "Hey, there." Twilight greeted him as with his shyness take over, he grab his stuff as he tried to leave quickly,only for her to walk with him. "Wait! You don't had to be afraid of me." she tried to assure him but didn't work by him starting to pick up the pace to headed to the next class as he reached it, he open the door as he about to leave. "Kit! Please listen, I just want to be friend to you." That words hit him, stopping him from enter the class. He completely loss for words. The princess of Equestria wants to be friend to me? But why? his thoughts now confuse by it. Then he close the door and shyly, look at her. "Why?", he quietly question her. It's not normally for her to be friend to him. But what reason? She got good friends in Ponyville so what's the point of her trying to be friend to him? "We can talk outside if you like about how me and my friends know you. Just the two of us.", she gestured to the front door. She and the others know about me? But who told them and why? Guess I find my answer first. his thoughts suggested after all of the question running through his head as he nod in approval to go outside with her. It was then that after a few conversation that he realize that Lyra Heartstring, a friend of his dad, told her everything about how he obsessed with building model kits to escape his grief of losing him and to honor him and how he was afraid of meeting up with them consider of their past adventures because of how he believe that he'll be a waste to them. She understand of how much it meant to him to be friends to them because of how lonely that he was in after losing his father as well as the others too. His mind realize that back in the time, Applejack recognize him when he almost going to buck Reiji. "Kit, if you like, me and the others will be your friends." she offered her friendship to him, which caught his surprise glace at her. "I just don't want you to be lonely. Your dad won't want you to be in this state." After a few thoughts, glance down at the ground, he face to her and pulled a shyly smile. "Thanks you, princess." "Please, just called me Twilight." she giggled for his formality of address to her. He smile back at her, something that he never actually did. He now finally did it. He's a friend to his idols, the Mane Six! He only hope that when he meet Lyra, he want to thank her for everything she did. Then, his mind realize that he need to get to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP fast. He had to do one thing to save it. "I got to go, Twilight!" he starting to quick his running pace to the entrance of the school. "Wait, where are you going?" she shouted to him. "To help somepony!" However, it was too late as Kit now left the school, leaving her by herself, confuse by his unusual action. She then began to wonder if something happen in Canterlot that he might know that he need to skip his school day to help it. After pacing from right to left, to directions of places, he finally made it to the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP as he rush in, he saw the two fillies starting to force Shop Keeper to sign something and by his guess it meant the shop is going to be close soon. "STOP!" he raised his voice to catch their attention and it did to them. "It's you again." Diamond Tiara sneered at him. "If you going to defend it from us, think again! We now had to make sure that he's going to sign it to close down this dump. And to make sure he did......" She pointed to the window as he take a peek into it, there was a wrecking ball waiting outside along with other construction ponies too. "Those boys going to make sure that if any refusal, they'll tear this place down.", Silver Spoon explained to him. "Your not going to destroy this shop!" he said with a determination to them. "Why is that? You lost the battle yesterday so what you make you going to fight us again?" Then, he reached out his miniature saddle bag and pull out his Build Strike Gundam, surprising both of the fillies with disbelief expression. "Because I had what you want it." "You! All this time, the Gunpla I been searching for is now in your hooves the whole time?!" she exclaimed with a glare to him with her eyes now filled with dagger knifes. "You and I going to battle again and this time, for my Gunpla!" he challenge her."If I win, you let Shop Keeper keep his shop and his business!" "And what if I win?" "You can have my Gunpla at another thing, leave this store out of it." "Kit, are you crazy?!" Shop Keeper asked him in disbelief. "That Gunpla is the symbol of you!" "I know but," he sighed about it. " I won't let you loose something that's important to you." After a few minutes, Diamond Tiara smirked at him, for his brave nature. "Fine, it's a deal. But your going to be sorry again for challenge me!" With the construction ponies halted out for a battle, both fighters now set between the Plavsky Particle Generator. PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both set their GB base as their information was seen in the screen. BEGAN PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL The particles start to simulate and change into....... FIELD 2-DESERT Thus the particles start to create the 'base' for them. PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA "Please lend me your strength, Build Strike." he muttered as both fighters set their Gunpla down as just like before, their eyes flash and the particles set for them on the launch sequence. BATTLE START "Kit Builder, Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Let's go!" As both Gunpla launched into the battlefield, both units now on the middle face off, similar way to country ponies. "Now, what she'll do?" he preparing himself and to much surprise, the Gyan disarm both the beam riffle and the shield. "She disarm her weapons to face him in equal terms?" Shop Keeper wonder. "That's not it old colt." Thus the Gyan pulled out its Beam Saber as it pointed to him in fencing style. "I don't want him to make excuses when I'm beat him and claim my prize!" The Gyan thrust to attack him but the Build Strike dodge it out of the way. But somehow once it landed, Kit struggle a bit to make it stand as the Gyan reappear from behind. "I got to admit this Gunpla is fast all right." she said. "But your reaction is slower than the last time. That's a sad reality!" The Build Strike pulled its beam saber to counter it, but just like before, it repeatedly slash with brute force that cause the beam saber to fall out stumble to the ground to the corners of the mountains, dragging to the edge of the stadium, evidence by the particles start to deform at first but reform it back. "I don't want to damage that rare Gunpla, so I throw it off the field!" Diamond Tiara said as she corner him, starting to walk slowly to finish the battle. Looking around to escape but so far none, Kit began to gritted his teeth for the end to come in the battle. No place to fly or to dodge...... what do I do......? I can't lose....not now......his thoughts struggle for the outcome. I don't want to lose my Gunpla and let down my friend.........I wish I had the strength........to fight back........please........ As the Gyan come closer, it starting to reached its hand. Darn it! It's over! he closed his eyes for his end. "Don't give up!" came two familiars voices shouted back ,causing to open his eyes. Suddenly, two hooves press on his right, pushing the control as they said in unison, "Go forward!!!" That cause the Build Strike to push it back the Gyan with great force that even surprise Diamond Tiara as the Gyan knee down a bit as Kit then saw those who help them. "Sei, Reiji, you guys...." "You made a wish. That's why we came." They show their crystal necklace now glow with orange like flow as he look as his necklace as it glow the same thing as the others. "Kit, we made a promise to help." Reiji push him back as he take control. "We'll fight in your place." "Huh? But don't you guys know how to control my Gunpla?" "Leave it to us!" he then starting to randomly control it in turn his Gunpla starting to move randomly too. "What are you doing to my Gunpla?!" he exclaimed with a freak out expression. Who are those two ponies? Are they friend to Kit? Shop Keeper wonder as he watch him freak out by his randomly controls. Then the Gyan stand up as it pulled its beam saber. "Unbelievable, Kit. Now your going to let those two amateurs control your machine?" she starting to breakout into a rage. "I had enough of it....that Gunpla......", she now shouted back at him. "It supposed to be mine!" She then charges at them in which the Build Strike duck to the other side and round kick back at her, surprising everypony. "Ok, now we got it!" Reiji said with a confident voice as the Build Strike Gundam now ready to fight back. "Don't mess with me!" As the Gyan start to stab and slash it back, the Build Strike dodge it as kick and a uppercut back at it, causing the Gyan to drop its beam saber. With that, the Gyan hover out of it while the Build Strike chase after it. Those movements are the same as the original builder and the original fighters. he thought about it then realize with a hint of surprise while watching the two ponies now able to control it better. Could that mean they're.....? The Gyan pick up its discarded weapons as it start to aim its shield at the Build Strike. "I won't accept it. I won't accept defeat from you guys!" The shield fire its needle missile at it, but the Build Strike able to dodge to left as the missiles explode on the mountain range. "Kit, does it has beam saber?" "Yeah, on slot 3." Reiji then press the button as he chose it, the Build Strike Gundam grab it from its left skirt as it now charges at the Gyan. "Got it!" The Gyan kept fire repeatedly but the Build Strike able to hover and dodge from left to right with a elegant movement which surprise Kit by it. Those are the same movements that the spirits help me. he thought about it the time when those spirits help him defeat the Hell Zeong Terror as with quick movements, dodging the last bullet which explode from the canyon. Could that mean they're......?! "No.....no....no.....", she starting to quiver in fear. "Who the hay are you two?!" With the speed of sound, the Build Strike Gundam now deliver the final blow to the Gyan. "LET'S GO!!!!!" both of them screamed, causing Kit to look at his Gunpla now......finally slash the Gyan in half as with explosion now consume the Gyan as the Build Strike now become the victor. BATTLE ENDED [One Half (Nibun no ichi) music begin] "My Gunpla........", he stunned by the battle, but grew a smile at the end as the particles now deformed . "It won!" I'm not alone, because our hearts are connected. Just that make me want to take a step toward tomorrow After that, the Gyan now in pieces, shocking both of the fillies. "No way....my Gunpla....I lost....", Diamond Tiara whimpering and knee down for her defeat as Silver Spoon tried to calm her down. Let's connect all of the colors of our dream and create a rainbow that shines with brilliance on the sky above us "That was an excellent battle, young Kit. Congratulation!" Shop Keeper praise by him. "Thanks, but it wasn't me that did it, it was...", Then the two ponies were gone as he and Shop Keeper start to look around for them. "Where did they go?" Without a hesitation, he grab both of his Gunpla and his GB base, store it in his miniature saddle bag and rushed out of the store which now at night time. "Reiji! Sei!" he shouted out for them as he dash down the right of the Canterlot. Saying this won't make any difference, but..... I don't have the spirit nor confidence to keep walking on It is them! his mind now with happiness as he kept calling their name out loud, but to avail as it mostly waking up everypony as he trotted else where. "At anytime that your in a situation that you can't overcome....." 'What so fun about it?' You smiled and went ahead of me The two ponies are the two spirits that help me! He then headed to Ponyville as he kept calling their name but it like the same as in the Golden Oak Library now turn on the lights, Twilight open the door and saw him. "Kit?" "We'll be running to help you and overcome it together...." However, he running to other side of Ponyville in which he did the same thing as most of ponies began to complaining of him shouting out loud ever though it's night time. When I feel lonely from the bottom of my heart FLASHBACK I synchronize you MASH UP Together it feels like when can do it RIGHT NOW, READY SET GO! The ones that gave me the courage! his mind raced as he panted a bit as he kept searching for them. "That's our promise. Our Vow!" I'm not alone, ever since that I've known that Everything seem possible Along with that everlasting smile, You grab my hand He finally stop at the park that he met those two as he catch his breath, he sigh as he take a glance at the necklace as he place it near to his chest, praying for them. If we're together, there's no such thing as impossible I feel that way because you 're there You make up for the strength that I lack With our strengths overlapping we'll Take off~! "Reiji and Sei......", he view the moon now shines beautiful. "Let's meet again......let's play Gunpla Battle together.......I want to battle with you two!" Don't stand still DON'T STOP Because I'm by your side DON'T CRY Your not alone anymore EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT After that, he now headed back home. "Mom, sorry I'm late. I'm sorry I..." Before he can finish, he saw that made him fall to the ground - Sei and Reiji were eating apple stir fried! "What took you so long, Kit?" Reiji then grab some more of it and chow it down. "Welcome home, Kit." his mom then pour more of it into the bowl for him. "What's going on guys?!" Kit frantically asked them. "What are you talking about?" Sei replied to him, grabbing more of the meals. This confuse him as they show their necklace. "Didn't you made a wish?" With that, he sighed and smiled a bit as he sat down to his table and start eat his meals to relaxed for the day to come.
Episode 3 - The Ruby CometEpisode 3 - The Ruby Comet In his house, Kit’s mother use her magic to warm up a grilled cheese hay sandwich. With the meal now warm up with the gooey cheese, she levitated it down to the table as Kit came down, looking sad. “Morning, mom.” he said as he sat down. “Morning, Kit.” she said, washing the dishes. “How are you? Did you sleep well?” “ Yes fine.” “So, where are Sei and Reiji?” He took a huge bite from his sandwich. “Sei is coming down. And for Reiji…….” Upstairs in his room, Reiji snored like a lumber pony, his pillow absorbing the booming noise. “Yeah, Sei and I tried to wake him up. But he kicked us and told us to shut up.” He bite into his food. “So we left him alone.” “Those two ponies are interesting and strange at the same time.” “Well Sei is fine, but Reiji is not!” he said with a raised voice. “The way he look and acts… He doesn’t have any common sense!” Then Sei walk down stairs and like Kit, he was unamused. “Morning, Sei.” “Morning, Ms. Builder.” he said as he sat down next to Kit. Ms. Builder began to prepare another sandwich for the newcomer. “So, you’re pissed off at him, Kit?” Sei asked him, still a little sleepy. “Definitely,” he muttered as he chomped down the last of his meals. “Sorry for my friend. I’ll try to help you with both your building and control skills.” he said with a bite from his sandwich. “Thanks.” “Still, you and Reiji…” Flashback “Wow!”, Reiji with a happiness, chomping some of the apple stir fried. “This is the best!” “This is good!” Sei take more of it and chomp it down, similar way to him. “You’re too kind, you two.” Kit’s mother replied, happy for them to love her cooking. “One of the best meals in Equestria and our favorite!”, Reiji said with a great passion of the food. “You want some more?” “Yes please!” both of them raised their plates for more. “You guys aren’t bad!” she said as Kit drank his milk and place it down. “Well better get to school. Bye.” he got off the table and grab his saddle bag. “Wait, what about Sei and Reiji?” “Well, you let them in, so try to figure it out on your own.” With that he close the door as Sei watch him going reflecting to how he was before when he met him. “Wonder got him so mad about?” her mom wonder of her son’s behavior. In the school, most of the ponies starting to talking each other about stuffs while some are studying for a test for any classes they attended. When Kit arrive to the gate, most of them seem them and just shrugged it off and continue chatting . It seem like they at least stop making gossip of his cutie mark as he walk to the front door, feeling a little down and upset a bit. Why, Reiji? Why are you not going to train me? his thoughts raced about what happen yesterday. Flashback “Reiji and Sei, can you train me?” both of the ponies sat down on Kit’s bed eating of the apple fritters while he sat on his desk chair. “Train you on what?” “Gunpla Battle!” He show his Gunpla to them. “Sei can help me on improving on my building skills while Reiji can help me train me to battle effectively.” “The way that your control skills were incredible to save Shop Keeper’s store from Diamond Tiara.” He then gaze to his Gunpla a bit then face to them. “With your building skills and your technique, I might able to master it. Will you……” “Of course.” “No, I can’t be bothered.” “What?!!!” both of the ponies exclaimed by Reiji’s refusal. “Reiji, why?!”, Sei asked him in disbelief. “Why are you aren’t going to help him?! Kit is new to Gunpla Battle so at least we should help him!” “I don’t understand, Reiji?!” Kit asked him in the same way as Sei now. “Doesn’t Gunpla Battle fire you up?” “Not really.” he respond to them, finish the fritter and laid back on his bed. “But why did you and Sei fight just now?” “We just paying you back. We kept our promise. It’s over.” “NO WAY!!!!!!!” Kit freak out by his response of their promise to help him, but regain composure. “Then how you two going to pay me back for last night’s dinner?” “We owe that to your mom, not you.” he said with a yawn. “We going to pay her back for that anyway. And she letting us stay here tonight, too.” “Eh? Staying here tonight?” Kit got dumbstruck by it. “Nighty Night.” Reiji then tucked his blanket and sleep. Both of them were silence a bit, before a snore was heard. “Reiji, you being selfish again!” Sei said in a angry tone. “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you at least help him!” While Sei vented out of his anger, Kit slump down a bit in a depression mood for this outcome that might give him hope but never came again. “At least brush your teeth when you’re staying at this house!” After that, Kit continue walking to the front door as he grab his stuff from his locker and place some of his stuff there and grab a few stuff out of there. It doesn’t make sense. Sei is fine of helping me, but Reiji is being selfish. His thought said in a sad tone. What happen to “ At anytime that you're in a situation that you can’t overcome, we be running to help you and overcome together”? Back home, Reiji yawn a bit once he got down to the kitchen while Sei began to sweep the floor and Kit’s mother preparing to go out. “Morning, Kit’s mom.” As he walk with being drowsy a bit to the couch and sat down. “Morning Sei.” “Well, you slept well.” Sei said with an annoyed tone. “Morning, Reiji.” she said as she got her parchment scroll list. “If you’re hungry, there is some bread that I made for you at the fridge, is that ok?” “Yeah” his voice still tired “Anything is fine.” “So, where’s Kit?” “He gone to Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.” “What’s a Celestia?” That surprise her a bit, but she giggled at his naivety. “Not what, who. Celestia is the ruler of Equestria along with her younger sister, Luna. They both raised both the sun and the moon together and Celestia own her own school to teach gifted unicorns with magic in Canterlot.” “Seriously?!” Sei exclaimed by this “Two Princess has the power to raise both the sun and the moon?!” “Yeah, no joke about it.” her mother got the last of her supplies. “Ok, finish up with the dishes and clean the bathroom, ok?” “Ok” “Sure” “Kay, bye guys.” With the front door closed, everything is silence a bit. That is until Sei decide to break it. “Reiji, this is what happen when you don’t play Gunpla Battle when we first met!” his voice raised. “Listen, he’s new to it and we should at least help him in battle! We kept a promise to help him and even the promise is over, we should at least help him again. And another thing…..” As Sei kept nagging more, Reiji just space out by looking out of the window to see the clear azure blue skies and had another thought in it. “Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, huh…..” Back at the school, most of the students were reading about the history of the Star Swirl the Bearded as the teacher began to explain more of the famous unicorn. However, Kit began to focus more, indication by writing or drawing on his scroll, on various combat moves on his Gunpla, struggle a bit as he was trying to finding the right one. “....as you can see he was one of the mentor of one pony who is the founder of Equestria, Clover the Clever.” While the teacher kept explaining more, he began to tapped his quill as he look at the picture of his Build Strike doing various movements and the controls that he used in Gunpla Battle. Well, I can’t count on Reiji, so not only Sei is the only one I can relied on but I had to fight myself. he thought about it. If I had to master Gunpla Battle, I need to practice more of it to get better! Let’s see, maybe this combat moves or…... “Kit, would you like to answer the question?” However, once scratching his mane on the back, he now answer the question. “Well, if my opponent had the advantage of getting into close combat, both the beam rifle and the beam cannon will probably had a time lag.” Most of the students are staring at him, confused by it. “So if that happen, the beam saber and the vulcan might be the only chance to blind the camera and attack it head on.” After that, he then realize that he just explain his combat moves to everypony. “Um, the answer is two thirds.” “Kit” his teacher was unamused “This is the history class.” “Um, sorry….”, he sat back down, embarrassed by his mistake as everypony began to laugh about it. At his house, Reiji is look bored staring on the window while Sei got the cleaning supplies for the bathroom and now focus on cleaning the sink. “Oi, Reiji!” Sei cried, snapping out of his trance “At least help me out with it! You know that Kit’s mom promise to stay here if we clean up the house!” “Yeah, ok.” As he headed to help him by scrubbing the sink, he then stare at the upper middle window. “How boring. We came all the way here for this.” In the school, Kit place some of his history notebook and grab his lunch from the lockers in the hallway. Then he stare at his combat ideas and his drawings of his Build Strike Gundam in various battle pose. How stupid of me to talk about my combat moves in my history class. his mind said as he saw a crowd of students were meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle. “Wow it’s the Princess!” “Amazing! I can’t believe the Princess is visiting here!” Then after she got eyes on him, she headed towards him with a genuine smile. “Hi Kit, good to see you.” “Oh, good to see you again, Twilight.” he said with a warm grin. “Wait, Kit and Twilight are friends?!” one of them shocked by it. “No way, how did she knows about him?!” another question asked as more students are ganging up on them. “Oh boy, this is going to be messy!” Kit freaked out by the crowed students. “Don’t worry I got this.” she assure him as her horn now develop in a pinkish glow as it envelop them as in a flash, they disappeared, leaving students wonder of where the two went. In the outside of the school, a pink flash appeared as both got made it out of the mob students but as for him, his mane got singe a bit and a doozy a bit before he snapped out of it. “Can you please warn me next time you do that?” Before that, he saw each of the Mane 6 who apparently waiting for them for lunch. Applejack set her meals down for all of them, Fluttershy and Rarity give them warm smiles including Rainbow Dash who wearing her sunglasses as for Pinkie Pie….well…...she set a picnic towel down and the basket now float with the balloons. Kit was surprise as well as speechless by this as in his heart, he just nervous to at least meet them, but some reason that feeling was gone. “Um, Twilight….. what’s all this?” “Just a picnic lunch we going to have and wondering if you want to join us?” Kit was speechless by her offer to hang out with them, but with a warm smile, he said, “Sure, I...would like to…..meet your friends…..” With that, he introduce to each of the others with Pinkie Pie just being happy as she saying in a hyperactive tone that Kit have hard time to understand what she’s saying but holds a genuine smile. This is happening…..I get to…….meet my idols…….. his thoughts said. In a few minutes, Kit asked of them if they still use the elements of harmony to the point of them saying they do, but have to return to the tree of harmony to which is the source of them to stop the Everfree forest from invading Ponyville in which he heard of that incident a few months ago as well as their adventures they did made him interesting of one day to go with them. “Oh no, I forgot! Again!” Rarity exclaimed as the others look at her. “This is. The. Worst. Possible. Thing!” Then she use her magic and pulled a chair out of nowhere and pretend-fainted on to it which giving out odd looks from them. “What? You expect me to lay on the grass did you?” “Umm does she always do that, Applejack?” “You have no idea.” she responded. “So Kit”, Twilight asked “I was wondering of what talent does your cutie mark represent?” “Huh?” “Yeah, I like to know too!” Pinkie Pie said, pop out of nowhere to him. “Twilight told me that some of the students from her old school is spreading rumors of your newly talent that you discovered! What was it, do you build robots cause that will be cool of you to make a robot version of us, but wait if that happen then these robots might take over the world and Equestria in the nearby future! Or maybe you’re a robot who come from outer space to experiment on us or maybe…….” Twilight place her hoof on to her mouth to ease of the talking which cause him to be confused by her. “What we mean is that, your talent is very unique to all talents that ponies know.” she trying to come up with something that doesn’t hurt him. “We just want to know how you got it?” He thought about it then after that he said. “Well if you girls want to know, my cutie mark is based on the Build Strike Gundam.” “The Build Strike what?” “Well, it’s better if I show to you.” He then open his miniature saddle bag and show them his Gunpla to the girls giving them curiosity. “This is my Gunpla, the Build Strike Gundam Full Package.” Rainbow first started edging closer at the Gunpla. “This robot toy is what your cutie mark represent?” “Well, yeah it was my first Gunpla that I got and battle with it.” “Um, Kit, what’s a Gunpla?” Fluttershy wonder about it. “Well, it’s a long story to tell you about of how I got it.” “Well, we got time for it, sugarcube.” So he took a deep breath and start telling them of how he discovered a new hobby shop and the new model kits called Gunplas, got the Build Strike Gundam from the owner, played Gunpla Battle, the Plavsky Particles gave him a cutie mark, and saving the shop from Diamond Tiara with the help of two ponies that he met yesterday (in which Applejack still mad of one of those ponies calling her a Country Hick) as well as the two ponies now live in his house. “Wow”, Twilight said quietly, amaze by his tale in which she was surprise by his story in which the others are too. She couldn’t believe that another country far away from Equestria discovered a series that came from the human world before the Nightmare Moon event and made it popular as well as one hobby shop was never mentioned from either the residents nor the princess too even the strange particles that somehow actually create a cutie mark upon Gunpla Battle. “Wow indeed.” Rarity place her hoof on her head nearly faint. “To think that your cutie mark didn’t come naturally but from this Gunpla Battle.” “Yeah, it was shocking at first but somehow, I get the feeling that there’s more than meets the eye with Gunpla.” He stare down to his Gunpla. “I don’t know why but somehow when I got my first, my fears and doubts have washed away.” “How come, partner?” “Don’t know…...just a hunch.” “So Twilight, how come your interest into me?” Kit wonder about it. “I know Lyra already told of my past, but I was confused of why you help me?” Twilight then thought for a bit, then with a genuine smile, she said “Well I guess I tell you of my reason.” After explaining, all of them were shock by it. She apparently knew him since she was a filly and both of them were partners into school works as well he became the first friend that she had but he never came to school when his father left and never came back, feeling betrayed by it causing her to become more focus on her studies than friendship to never being betrayed again. Then when she became a princess, she heard from Lyra Heartstring that he now attend to Celestia’s school, causing her to be happy for him as she want to see him but also Lyra told her of the reason that he shutting himself away. “Twilight, I’m….sorry…..I…….hurt you….”, he apologize to her, feeling guilty. “It’s ok, Kit.” Twilight said “ I understand why you did it and I’m sorry about your loss, but that’s in the past now. After all, we’re still friends.” That causing him to smile for her willing to let go of what happen in the past. To think that she already knew me when we’re fillies and my depression hurt her causing her to be distance from friendship until she found new friends. She also want to repair our friendship when I now go to Celestia’s School. His thoughts raced by it as both smile at each other, thankful that they now reunited each other. “Excuse me, but I hope I didn’t interrupt your lunch, princess.” Came another voice as the others turn they saw a stallion with a coat of blond colors and a mane of chocolate mane match to his sleek yet smooth tail as well as a cutie mark of an ocean view. “Oh, not at all.” she look at the side to make sure no other ponies are following him. “What can I do for you?” “No way!” Kit said, shocked by it and got his mouth wide open a bit. “Are you SeaCliff Breeze?! The club leader of the Celestia’s Model-Building Kit Club?!” “That’s right.” he replied with a friendly smile. “May I talk to you at the club during lunch break?” That causing him to stammer a bit at the offer. “Uh, me?” “Of course.” With a nod, he follow him, avoid the mobbing students and finally headed to model building club at the right of the classroom. “No way!” his eyes now flash with excitement as he stare all of the model kits displays. It was truly like he just walk into a candy store when he was a filly. The model kits was like everything that he always that he want to see : a replica of Canterlot Castle, Crystal Empire and Cloudsdale and all of them are detail very well in the exact way of the real ones. Next to them are pre-classical ponies from the old times like Star-Swirl the Bearded and Clover the Clever and just like the others, both of them are detail very well. “Incredible of the details of these model kits!” he said with a glee then with another excitement he saw something that he always want to do. “No way! You got the Wonderbolts sets and you made them to make like they doing a dramatic entrance!” “Thanks. It was difficult at first but I got it just right.” “You did all of this? Incredible.” “I know but it can’t compare to your work.” he said with a humble tone. “Me?”Kit wonder about it. What made his work better than him, the captain of Celestia’s Model-Building Kit Club that attract a huge attention to all ponies even the Princess too? “To tell the truth, I’m a huge fan of your work when I was a filly along with your dad’s too and I ever been since then.” He blinked in surprise then scratch the back of his mane in embarrassment “Really?” Then he realize something into his mind. “So you want to see me is because you want to join your club? If so then I would be honor to join but I had to help my mom with some stuff around the house.” “No, it’s not like that….” SeaCliff said with a chuckle at him. “Even though I wanted that, too…..” “Then…?” “Kit, I heard that you’re into Gunplas, right?” That really surprise him greatly at this. SeaCliff knows of Gunplas too? Then that means he must go to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP too before me. “Yeah, it’s my first time I got into it.” “Well you see, I heard from Shop Keeper that you defeated Diamond Tiara, right?” He nod in response. “Well Diamond Tiara is supposed to be famous from the district that for her strong skills; You beat her at Gunpla Battle.” “I guess I assume that you’re thinking of entering the Underground Gunpla Battle World Championship?” “Underground Gunpla Battle World Championship?” Kit wonder about it. “It’s a tournament that was held Underground where the Diamond Dogs reside in and attract builders from all over the world to battle each other to become a Gunpla Meister, the highest rank of the Gunpla Builders. As I know, I enter it a few years ago and won in the championship preliminaries. ” Wow, highest rank of all builders? he wonder about it in his mind. That’s sound amazing to be like it and a tournament to battle with Gunplas from other places…. somehow I felt that I want to excite about. “Well, I want to give a shot.” “Amazing, I can’t wait for it. Now I’ll be able to battle with your Gunplas.” SeaCliff said with a calm excitement. “Whoa, I am excite to try it out for the first time, but I need to practice more if I want to be at the top level as you. Beside, you might be too tough for me to battle you.” he said then look down a bit. “Plus….” “Plus?” “To tell you the truth, it wasn’t my own strength that defeat Diamond Tiara.” he honestly said which gave him curiosity. Back at the picnic area, Twilight and the others wonder of one of the student want to talk with Kit for a bit while they have one of Granny Smith’s muffins that Applejack had brought for all of them while they save the last one for him. “So who’s that student that wanted with Kit, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash wonder about it. “That’s SeaCliff Breeze. Supposedly, he’s one of the student from my old school that created a Model-Building club and one of the famous builder beside Model Builder. I also heard that his building skills were inspired by him too when he was a filly.” “Maybe, that SeaCliff feller wants Kit to join his club. After all, he’s Model Builder’s son and he inheritance from him.” Applejack suggested. “I supposed you’re right darling.” Rarity agreed with her. “I’m not a huge fan of these model kits but I curious about Kit’s Gum….uh...un…” “Um, it’s Gunpla, Rarity.” Fluttershy corrected for her. “Yes thank you Fluttershy darling. I mean did you see that chunky design of it and those colors are too bright and those wings with that thing sticking on the ground need more designing.” Realizing that she’s off topic a bit with the evidence of them looking at her odd, she change it quickly. “What I mean is that new hobby shop that he mention, how did it open without a notice from the Princess?” “I don’t know, it’s strange to see a shop that open without a notice, but until then we need to….” Before she can answer the other look at her confusedly as with that, a voice was heard from the right as she turn as she saw a crimson colt. “That looks delicious.” Reiji said staring at the muffin that she’s eating. “Huh?” she looks at her muffin then using her magic, she break a pieces and offer him some. “Here have some.” “Really? Thank you!” He took it and ate it with a smile. “MMM… Yummy!” “Um, who’s he?” Fluttershy whispered to Rainbow Dash, feeling shy of this new pony that just appear out of nowhere. “Don’t know.” she replied with an uneasy look at him. “Well he’s very uncouth for appearing out of nowhere.” Rarity said with the same expression. “*Gasp* No way, that’s the doozy that I felt yesterday!” Pinkie said with a wide grin. “Wait a second!” Applejack got back up to her legs. “Your that pony that stole some of m’ ah apples from the acres last Monday!” Before she going to do something to him, he got back up and pointed to the school. “So this is the Celestia’s School?” Twilight noded. “Does that mean Kit is here?” “Kit? You mean Kit Builder?” “Yes yes, Kit Builder.” He look at the building with a smile. “Now I know where he is.” “So who are you, dude?” Rainbow Dash asked him but before he going to tell his name, a voice was heard with a angry tone. “REIJI!!!!!!” The others turned to the front gate and saw another pony with a peach coat and a dark blue mane, galloping with an angry expression at the crimson pony. “Reiji, what the hay are you thinking of leaving the house without telling me!” he said catching his breath from all of the galloping that he did. “C’mon Sei, I just thought I might just come to see Kit in this school.” “Are you out of your mind, Reiji?! Do you remember what happen last time you did that while I’m at school?! You can’t just barge into a school campus just to see a friend! Honesty, while we’re almost done with the chores in the house, you just ran off!” he said incredulously. While the two ponies are arguing, the others watch them with a odd looks. “What got the other pony so tick?” Rainbow Dash asked Twilight about this event. “I don’t know, but the names somehow fit with the description of what Kit said with the two ponies that helped him.” Before she figure out, a gruff like voice was heard from the other side. “Hey, you two!” The others turned and saw a muscle stallion with a Mandarin mane and a apricot coat but what strange is that pony somewhat resemble Buck that Shining Armor once told from his Canterlot Academy years but donning a blue uniform. “You two on the Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns ground. You two are not students, are you?” “We came here to see Kit.” “I couldn't care less about it.” He pointed the front gate. “Get out now!” “C’mon Reiji, let’s just get out….”, Sei trying to drag his friend back, but he ignore him, staying put with a stern and unamused expression. “You’re rude. Who the hay are you?” “I’m a executive member of the student council.” He pointed his right hoof at Reiji. “We work to protect our students from disruptive ponies like you.” “Reiji, forget about it. Let’s go before…” “We never did anything yet.” “The fact that you two are here, near to the princess and her friends are a problem already.” He about to throw him away. “Just get out….” Reiji slapped the hand away with a angry look. “I told you, we came here to see Kit.” “Are you disobeying me?” The executive member’s voice sounded edged. “Reiji, don’t….” “Your the one who being messing with us first.” That really provoke him as a angry vein and a clenched teeth was showed with a mind that repeating to give that crimson pony his own medicine as well with a steam was heard from his ear and a right hoof was into a fist. “Why you…..” Twilight and the others look with a concern and a scared look. It looks like this could get ugly for the two ponies. “Wha...what we going to do, now?”, Fluttershy quiver in fear hiding behind Applejack. “Don’t know but even if I can try to stop this, that feller might not listen to any words.” Then without a hesitation, Twilight put down her food and gallop to the model kit club. “Hey, Twilight where you going?” Rainbow Dash asked her. Meanwhile, Kit told everything of his battle in details to SeaCliff. However he look down just felt that he might think of him as being weak to hide behind others but in his honesty he doesn’t want to lie about it. “I see, so two fighters came and control your Gunpla.” SeaCliff said understanding of his story. “Yeah, it was thanks to them, that I able to win against Diamond.” “I’m more exciting about it. The championship will be intrigued to it……” “However…” He look to him directly “one of them said that he’s not interested into Gunpla Battle, so…” he down disappointed “ I gave up on Reiji and only partner is Sei.” “Reiji and Sei…...so that’s your partners’ name.” Before that, Twilight rushed out, barge in like she run on a marathon or being chased by Timberwolves. “Kit!” “Twilight?” he got up worried for her. “What’s wrong?” She pointed her hoof to the window. “There’s trouble!” “What trouble….” As he look to the direction of her hoof, he saw some of his friends and other students were staring at Reiji and Sei…...wait WHAT?! Reiji then got one of the member of the student council in a leg lock in which causing him in so much pain as Sei was panicking about this?! Kit open the window with a bewildered look. “SEI AND REIJI?! What the hay are you two doing here?!” “Kit!” Sei said frantically about this. “It’s not like that! I just trying…..” “Oi, Kit!” Reiji interrupted his reason. “Clean the house was boring so I just come by to see you and Sei then decide to come too.” “Reiji!!!!” “Why would two do that?! You guys aren’t students here!” He looked at them incredulously about their friends’ rash behaviors. “That’s right!” the student council shouted. “You two better--” But Reiji then pulled his legs more as he then struggle in pain to get off of it. “OW! NO MORE! OW! OW! UNCLE!!!!!” “Why you guys are you doing this to me!?” Kit complain in annoyance and bang his into a bar as Twilight watch this fighting. SeaCliff then watches from it and saw them while in the shouting of them. “So that’s Reiji and Sei…..” Meanwhile, Kit’s mother look from left and right, to find them. “Where’s Sei and Reiji? They said that they’ll help me to clean the house to thank them for the dinner last night.” She sighed about it. In the Model building club, Twilight and the others waited in the front, wonder why would SeaCliff would ‘invited’ the two ponies that Kit mentioned. An angry voice was heard that give Fluttershy a squeak of it and hiding behind her mane. “But why, President!?” Inside, the student council angrily questioning SeaCliff about it while he’s sitting at the chair. “Why would you allow those outsiders into the school,” He then pointed to Sei and Reiji along with Kit. “without informing the teachers?!” “What’s up with him?” “Shut up.” Kit whispered to keep his voice down. “Sorry, Mandarin.” SeaCliff apologize to him. “I forgot to tell the council executives.” Then he looked to the three ponies. “Reiji and Sei over there are the ones that I invited to school.” “What?” At the same time, Kit was surprise by him too. Why would he want to invited Reiji and Sei? “Not true.” Reiji blurted out. “Shut up.” Sei whispered to him. “Not only as a council president, but also as a captain of the model building club. Both Sei and Reiji are outstanding Gunpla fighter. They beat Diamond Tiara yesterday. Isn’t that right, Kit?” “Y-yeah.” “You three beat Diamond Tiara? I can’t believe it.” Mandarin was surprise by them of beating her. “Who’s Diamond Tiara?” “You beat her yesterday, remember?” Kit reminded him about it. “Oh, that annoying filly.” Reiji got the picture of it. “Heh,” Mandarin mock at him. “it’s seem that you’re the annoying one, kid.” In response, Reiji make a face that shape like a monkey. “You’re the annoying one too, monkey.” Kit and Sei shivered at that name as Mandarin starting to growl causing his face to be stuck in angry vein as starting to calm down despite his weird expression shaped like a monkey. “President, I mean Captain, I have a suggestion. Since you invited this talented ponies all the way here, why not have them show off their abilities in Gunpla Battles?” This cause Kit to shocked by this. “I’ll be their opponent, as a member of the model- building club.” After thought about, he smile and asked them. “Would that be ok with you three?” Kit and Sei tried to say no, but as usual Reiji just blurted out. “Sure thing.” “But….” “You’re gonna regret it.” He said taunting Mandarin, causing him to growl even more and scaring both Kit and Sei. “Alright then.”, SeaCliff said as he got back up. “You can choose whichever Gunpla you like from our secret display in the back room.” “Oh no worries, because I got my Gunpla with me.” Kit said proudly but a grunted from Mandarin, he just freak out by him. “Heh, you're always prepared as usual Kit. However only members of the club can bring their model kits too including Gunpla.” “Oh, sorry about that.” , Kit scratching his mane in embarrassment. “Now we need to wait is my mentor to come and then we can start the exhibition match.” SeaCliff said as a knocking on the front door was heard. “Come in.” Then somehow when Kit, Sei, and Reiji saw who was his mentor, both of them were in complete shocked and Kit was surprise a bit. A pony with a sleek and smooth chocolate mane and a red coat with a genuine smile and his cutie mark was a cyclop like visor. “No way……..” Sei was speechless to say the least. “It can’t be…….” Reiji too, was dumbfound by that pony resemblance. “That’s……..” Kit was surprised to say the least. “It’s being a long time, Iori kun and Reiji kun.”, the red pony said with a smile. “Yuki-senpai!” Sei still completely shocked by his rival here in Kit’s school. “It’s being a long time too, but what are you doing here?” “Just came to visit my student here so we can start the exhibition match.” “Then that’s mean your’s SeaCliff’s mentor?” he was shocked by his rival now work as a mentor to him in which he nodded. Then he turn to Kit and greet him too. With that, they now headed to the stadium arena just at the far left of the school along with the Mane 6, saying that they want to come along with him in which they allow them. Kit asked Sei and Reiji of how they know ‘Mr. Yuki’ SeaCliff’s mentor in which they explain that he’s one of the best Gunpla Fighter who once take the name of the third Meijin Kawaguchi and his ideal to spread Gunpla from around the world as well as fought with him numerous time. Also Kit explain that when SeaCliff came to his school, he was becoming famous for his building skills and his outstanding work to all students thanks to his mentor who apparently said that he heard rumors that he taken him upon his wing like his own son. Meanwhile, more students getting news of both SeaCliff and Tatsuya Yuki are setting up an exhibition match against Kit Builder and his two friends. With that, more ponies hurried to the stadium arena to see it. Inside of the stadium arena that usually held PE activities, they saw a 4 shaped hexagon generator in the middle. The others students wonder of this exhibition match could be as they kept talking of prediction while at the same time the Mane 6 were at the top watching the commotion of students. “So any idea what that thing is on the middle?” Rainbow Dash pointed the hexagon shaped generator. “I simply had no idea, darling.” Rarity respond to her question. “I simply don’t think that anypony would make such a dull piece.” “Maybe it had to something with this Gunpla Battle that Kit talked about it?” Applejack asked Twilight about it. “We want to know it too.” A voice was heard as the Mane 6 turned as well as the students were gasp in surprise as two alicorn appeared. One is a midnight blue with a mane that spark like a stars in the night and a cutie mark of the moon on the black spots while the other is larger than the other and have a majestic mane of multitude color of light blue, light green, light purple, and light pink that flow natural and had a cutie mark of a sun. Apparently all of the students bow down to them including the Mane 6 knowing them as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. “Arise my little ponies. There no need to be formal.” Princess Celestia said as all of them rise from their bow as they resume their usual stuff. “We have heard of this exhibition match that we’re not aware of and we decide to see it.” “Twilight, we were wondering of this exhibition match that SeaCliff held that he didn’t let us know so we can approve of it?” Luna asked her with a hint of frown. “Well he said that it had to do with Gunpla Battle that Kit told me about it.” Twilight said not taking off of Kit, preparing along with Sei and Reiji. “Gunpla Battle? What is this ‘Gunpla Battle’ that you speak of?” She raised her eyebrow looking confuse about it. “I never heard of it before.” Princess Celestia added with a curiosity. “What is Gunpla?” Twilight then thinking a bit, trying to find a right word for it. “Well, to be honest, he said it’s a model kit that like bipedal robots with strange weapons that they carried and each of them have a unique shaped structure with special features that they have. So far that only thing that me and my friends know. Kit said that he got from a hobby shop called ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP just far outskirt of Canterlot and even he had no knowledge of these kits.” The princess were surprise by this strange outcome; how did a hobby shop just open outskirt of Canterlot? And where did these Gunplas come from that somehow shaped like bipedal creatures? Before they can ask of the strange generator, some of the students complain loudly as Mandarin came with a silver bipedal toy robot. “Eh?! It’s not SeaCliff?!” “Who’s that monkey?” “I’m not a monkey!!!!” he shouted at the two mares, causing to flinch by aggressiveness. With asking them if they’re ready and nodded , SeaCliff now stand in the middle to ready his announcement. “Okay, now prepare everypony in the Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, for the first ever exhibition match of Gunpla Battle hosted by the Celestia’s Model Building Club!!!!” PLEASE SET YOUR GB BASE Both fighters set their GB base as their info of their Gunpla appeared. BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL Thus the generator activate as the Plavsky Particle now starting to flow a bit. Everypony were taken by this phenomenal even for the Mane 6 and the Princess too. Many of the students were amazed by this and commented by it, even Rarity who once said it bring new idea for new clothes and dresses as for Twilight there one thing she only said of this particles : “It’s beautiful.” “What kind of magic are these particles?” Celestia asked about it, not taking her eyes of them including Luna. “These aren’t just any magic that the light of the Plavsky Particles emitted. There the work of a technology. ” A voice was heard from behind as the others turn and saw an older stallion with a light brown mane and a coat of dark blue hue. But also he had a mustache that also color the same as his mane as his cutie mark is a blue cyclop with a pink monoeye. He then explain to them while looking at the generator setting up the battles. “This particles, came from another world, discovered 10 years ago before the Mare in the Moon incident, react with only plastic in which the Gunpla is made. By fluidly controlling the high-dense Plavsky Particles, you can breathe life into inanimate Gunpla.” As the particles ready to simulate the stage, it create the ‘base’ for the fighters just like before but for Kit, Sei, and Reiji, it made three control ‘base’. “And, thanks to the particle transformation, effects such as beams and explosions are also added. The sense of realism is almost lifelike.” He then look at the Mane 6 and the Princess. “This is Gunpla Battle, misses.” However the Mane 6 and the Princess were giving odd looks at him for his explanation of it. One example is Rainbow Dash’s mind said “Who is that old colt?” having a weirded out look. Not only that but also Applejack also take the same thing as her, even Rarity confuse by the old colts’ explanation with an uncomfortable look. For Fluttershy, she hid behind Applejack and for Pinkie...well it’s Pinkie and for Twilight, she also gave a confuse look to him. As for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, they somewhat understanding a bit but giving a curious look to him too. With a flash, another familiar location was created as for everypony and The Princess and the Mane 6 were completely surprised…….. FIELD 12 - CRYSTAL EMPIRE “That’s the Crystal Empire!!!” Twilight shocked by it as well as the others too. Since when a generator from another world can create a simulate stage based on Equestria location? PLEASE SET YOUR GUNPLA “This is my Gunpla, SUMO!” Mandarin set his Gunpla down as the particles scan it and a little face door open to reveal its eyes flashed. While that, Kiti set his Gunpla down and like usual the eyes flash and particles create the launch sequence for them. In Sei’s side on the left, a computer screen shown as he check on the status of the Build Strike Gundam. “Ok the weapons are the same as yesterday. The body frame and everything else is normal so you should pilot it well. Just in case if you need assistance, Reiji can control it for you on the right side of you. Got it?” “Ok!” BATTLE START “Kit Builder!” “Iori Sei!” “Reiji!” “Build Strike Gundam! Taking Off!” His Gunpla launched out of the launch sequence as well as Mandarin too launched out his Gunpla and start to take a sharp left turn and shoot at the Build Strike Gundam but dodge quick and drew its beam saber already and charge headed on to face SUMO, dodging the beam bullets from it with its grace and speed. “Interesting. Kit’s skill match to both Sei and Reiji along with his Gunpla’s performance too.” SeaCliff said not taking eyes off the battle while Tatsuya nod in agreement. The SUMO then charged back at him, shooting then switching to its heat swords from its left arm as both units clash their blades at each other, sending out sparks, then the Build Strike roundhouse kick it to the left as it fires the vulcans, destroying the beam gun. Grunted by this, Mandarin switch to its high output beam gun, attach it to the left arm. All right, thanks to Reiji’s quick reaction, I can fight him properly., Kit’s mind said, happy that he got his back again like last time as the Mane 6 were amazed by their skills to face him. The Princesses were also impressed by the battle that this generator and the Gunpla did. “Looks like they’re winning.” The old colt said, still locking his eye on the battle. Tatsuya Yuki then look at them with a hint of impressiveness. As usual Sei’s and Reiji’s skills were talented , but for Kit….. he’s just a match to them; he’s like a combination of both…...still…..he got a long road to become the best…… He then continue to watch of the battle as the Build Strike shifted out of the town to the castle. “What’s wrong? Is that all you got?” Reiji taunted, but then a caution sign appeared at Sei side indicated the arrow pointed up. “Above us!!” Then they saw the SUMO charged up the bun gun and pointed at them. “Don’t messed with me!!” It fire a huge green beam as the Build Strike dodged quickly but then it moved the beam gun to them, causing so much damaged to the crystals homes and towns. With a quick reflex, Kit landed his Gunpla into a larger crystal town, shielding from the impact. “Whew, that was close.” Kit sighed from that impact that they dodged. “He’d dodge that far!” SeaCliff amazed by him, then he start to get excited. “That’s really fire me up even more.” “You three should be dead already!!!!” Mandarin then jump and thrust to slash but the Build Strike quickly dodge it. “Sorry about it.” Reiji holding a smirk, but then a STAGE CHANGE log appeared in front of him. “Oh no!” Suddenly, the peaceful skies of the Crystal Empire now ‘crack’ the pieces and broke off, revealing a darker skies and a heavy snowstorm as the shield also start to crack down and let loose more of the storm. “What the…?! How did a snowstorm get to the Crystal Empire?! That only happened on the other side and we never faced it before when we set foot on it?!” Rainbow Dash flabbergasted of this event. “The reason the stage is changed is because they blew the hole in the shield.” The old colt replied as the Build Strike then stand strong against it. “How would they fight such in such a harsh winds?” The SUMO’s foot release spikes from it and clung to the crystal road and starting to charged up the beam gun. “Going charge up to him!” Kit said holding tightly to the storm’s flow. “Seriously?” Reiji looked at him incredulous. “High output gun like that have a time lag before the next shot, right Sei?” “Right!” “Ok!” With that, Kit pushes the controls causing his Gunpla to charged through the harsh winds. “You three are numbskulls?! You would charging against the headwind?!” Mandarin was astonished by them then smirk at them. He then flew a bit away from them, still charging the beam gun. “He’s getting away!” “We gonna get through this!!” Kit reassure him as with a flick of the beam saber’s energy, it starting to get more boost and finally charging at the SUMO. “Go!!!” With their battle cry, the Build Strike charging at him as the SUMO was about to block it, it finally pierce the pilot core, destroying in the process. “M-My Gunpla!” Mandarin was freaking out by his loss to the three. “Mandarin was defeated?!” “The monkey has lost!” Oh boy that’s the third straw for him as he heard that name, he stare at the two colts who called by that, growling, which cause the others to assume the worst. “Don’t…...you…..call me MONKEY!!!!!” he screeched as he start to chased them. After that, the base became translucent to see the three fighters. Everypony was stomping the hooves in excitement of this first Gunpla Battle that they seen. “We did it, Sei! Reiji!” Kit clapped his hoofs to Sei and next to Reiji, in which Reiji gave him a hard clap, that sting a bit but can managed off (not notice for everypony the two colts galloping away from an enraged Mandarin). As for the Mane 6, they’re impress by the outcome of the battle. Fluttershy still hiding behind Applejack, found it to be scary at first but was found it to be interesting and come out of her hiding place, Rarity found it to be ‘barbaric’ and ‘uncouth’ but at the same time, very impress of their skills, Applejack said that battle was crazy as the Equestria Rodeo Champion but way intense, Rainbow Dash, with her brashness, said they were awesome but not 200 % awesomeness as her, as for Pinkie Pie…….well you get the idea of throwing a Congratulation on winning the first exhibition match Gunpla Battle, and for Twilight, she sighed and gave them a genuine warm smile. For the Princesses, they have an interest for their skills and the technology to make toys move without the usage of magic. Just as they thought that the battle is over, a red and black foot stomp on the crystal road and emerge to face the Build Strike to be a sleek cyclop like the one from the kits that Kit saw but shaped differently : it has a little horn sticking out and a square like fin on the back. Next to its body has a blocky shaped chest that give (to Sei’s view) reminiscent of the Sinanju but with ruby like titanium to it and two wings sticking out of the upper body with two booster to it. To the right and the left shoulder armors is somewhat look like one of the armor from the Zaku Amazing but clad with booster as for arms is the same but with a ruby arm guards attach to it. The side skirts look the same but with addition ruby armor pieces underneath it, giving more of wing shaped as for the front one has hoses connecting to the waist of the body. As for the legs are somewhat the same but also clad with another reminiscent armor of the Zaku Amazing but with more wings attach to it. It carries a small yet short riffles that somewhat that Sei can’t figure out with the design of mixture of regular and beam ‘shorty’. “That ended a little too quickly.” SeaCliff said as got to the base, surprising everypony. As if he become something that what Tatsuya would say. “I feel badly for the audience that showed up. Do you agree?” Then without hesitation, he slid his mane that somehow look like what Tatsuya did as his eyes changed from a calm blue eyes to azure of the raging sea. “Yes. I think so.” Kit felt something off of him, feeling a little weirded out. “Uh, SeaCliff?” “Oh, another jerk…..”, Reiji got annoyed that he did the same thing of what Tatsuya did. For the Mane 6, they were too confused by him barging into the battle even though that they won. “Uh, what’s up with him?” Rainbow Dash asked about his nature tone changed, also feeling a little weirded out. “Don’t know, I never seen him acting like that.”, Applejack replied to her giving a odd look of it. “Me either.” Twilight said, also curious of it too. I’d never seen a side of SeaCliff before in my life. Could he only do that when he play Gunpla Battle? her thoughts raced as she in a deep thought trying to figure out of the sudden change. “Just as I thought.” The old colt replied, snapping her out of her trance as Twilight was confuse by him as the others turned to him. “It entered last year’s Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament as well as being the successor to Tatsuya’s Gunplas.” The others begin to understand as they view of the ruby Gunpla. “It’s SeaCliff Breeze’s Gelgoog Wonder.” He then shake off his hoofs a bit and maintain the control. “For him to become the successor of ‘The Crimson Comet’ he earn the title as ‘The Ruby Comet’!” The old colt finished explaining to them. “The Ruby Comet….” Twilight muttered a bit. “Kit, get ready to battle.” Reiji place his hoofs back to the control in which return to the black and neon blue ‘base’ “Reiji….” “C’mon he’s messing with us.” After take a glance to Sei in which he shrugged, he got his hoofs back to the controls. Then the Build Strike whip its beam saber, getting ready to fight again. “We not going to run away now!” Then with a surprise, the Gelgoog Wonder flick its pistols and with that it transformed it into beam blades. “Sorry. And thank you.” SeaCliff getting ready for battle. “For barging into battle. And I’m honor for giving me a chance……..” Then with the boost, the Gelgoog Wonder charging at them. “ For me to battle with you three!” “Shut up!” The Build Strike swing down vertically but it dodge quickly as the Build Strike activate another beam saber that blasted through but it jump higher behind him as it was about swing it again, it boosted to dodge it again. “He dodged?!” “But we’re upwind him!” With that, it then charging at them, dodging the vulcans that they fire at it with quick movements surprising everypony about this. “He’s quick!” Then it clash it sword against his with great force that causing him to lose the left one. “More Fury…..” Then it doing it again but manage to hold on a bit but just like that it lost another as it shifted around. “More Fury…..” The Build Strike quickly fire the vulcan again, but with so much shifting, it dodge very fast. “More Fury! GUNPLA!!!!” With that, the Gelgoog Wonder jump out of it and land from behind as it about to low kick it, it too low kick him fast, causing the Build Strike to fall down. As it was about to get up quickly, a pistol was pointed at it. The match was over. “No way…..” muttered Sei by this. “U-Unbelievable……” Reiji was disbelief by this. This is like the Crimson Comet all over again. “No……..” Kit was speechless by their loss. Everypony cheered for both of them of the exciting battle. Hooves were stomping loudly than before and the voice too. “Amazing, SeaCliff won!” “And it only took him second!” The Mane 6 watch them in worried expression as the generator shut down, dissolving the particles back into nothingness. “In an instant, victory can sometimes turn into defeat. That’s the sad truth of all battles.” The old colt replied, still not taking over the look of the three then close his eyes a bit. “And the battle is a wasteland….” The Mane 6 and the Princesses look at the old colt with wonder of him knowing of Gunpla Battles and Gunplas. Rainbow Dash then whispered to Twilight’s ear. “So who’s that old colt?” But she shrugged at that question as she turn back to the them, who Kit picked up his Gunpla from his hoof and stared at the ruby gunpla. “So that’s SeaCliff’s Gunpla.” “It’s holds the inheritance of The Crimson Comet : a comet blazing ruby.” Sei remarked of this but for Reiji, he stared at it, feeling humiliated. “I can’t believe I lost again to this battle of toys.” Then he gaze at SeaCliff getting admire to other students (Mandarin feeling happy that he avenge him or something else) as Tatsuya Yuki come up to him and nodded for his hard work. Then he saw him and hold his regular genuine smile to him only making him more angry a bit. “That jerk!” At outside of Canterlot, Reiji kicked a stone to a river stream, trying to vented out his anger but so far no luck. “I’m so irritated by that SeaCliff guy! Barging into a battle like that?!” As for Kit, he look down a bit, feeling a little depressed a bit while Sei and Reiji walk with him to his house. “But SeaCliff built a strong Gunpla. And a successor to Mr. Yuki’s Gunpla.” Sei nodded in agreement also feeling a little depressed. “With his quality, and his skills…..” “He really had the the ability of a Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament contestant.” Kit finished his sentence then look up a bit. “We completely lost.” “No, we didn't! ” Reiji snapped a bit. “He said it himself.” Flashback At the point when the gun point at the Build Strike’s face, the Gelgoog Wonder withdraw its pistols. “Let’s stop the battle here.” Then the particles starting to disintegrate the base once the battle is over. “Sei and Reiji…...your skills still amaze like Yuki said….as for you Kit…….judging that you rely on Reiji’s piloting skills, your ‘true pilot skills’ maybe ‘incomplete’ along with your workmanship too. I want you to learn from both Sei’s workmanship and Reiji’s pilot skills and make it into your own for you to be ‘completed’ before the championship. I want to face you with your skills and your own true Gunpla.” Kit felt a little upset by his words. “SeaCliff, why are you being so….” “I’ll tell the reason if you defeat me. And the championship is the perfect stage for that.” SeaCliff replied with a hint of seriousness. “He’s right. This isn’t settled yet.” Reiji muttered before turning to them. “Sei, make sure you remember everything you know so you can teach him to learn your workmanship! And Kit, you better get some rest for tomorrow! We going to teach you our skills of Gunpla! And you better make your own true Gunpla!” This caught them by surprise for Reiji’s decision. “Reiji….” “We have to pay him back.” He then clench his hoofs a bit. “Especially for the humiliation!” “It’s settled! For now on, Kit, we’re going to be your mentors for Gunpla Battle!” “Are you sure?!” Kit taken by his decision that he made. He looked at him with a hint of cocky smile. “It’s decided!” After complete shock by it, Kit smile at his friend’s choice. “Reiji…..” Sei smiled that Reiji now able to play Gunpla Battle again, then realize something by gazing to the dusk skies. Maybe Yuki-senpai want his student SeaCliff to do the same thing like before so he can fire up Reiji and help Kit to improve. Inside, Tatsuya noded at his student’s performance as SeaCliff looked at his Gunpla, a crack was showed to its pistols but hold a smile. Kit then pulled his Gunpla from his miniature saddle bag and gaze at it with a hint of determination. “Reiji and Sei, I promise that once you pass your skills to me…...I’ll make my true Gunpla. Together with you two and Build Strike, I’ll create the best….no….the strongest machine!” Sei and Reiji nodded at his enthusiasm. “We’re count on you to do your best, Kit.” Kit noded at them with his brave face then, he got a shocked look as he pointed to them. “G-Guys, you’re….g - glowing…..?” It was true as both Sei and Reiji were glowing but in the same colors as he met them in their spirit form. “Aw, man. Looks like we’re out of time.” Reiji looked at himself with no exaggeration to himself as well as Sei did the same. “Don’t worry, we’ll see you tomorrow.” Sei reassure him as the light began to consume them. “Well see ya.” With that, the light consume them and shot up into the dusk skies, leaving Kit shocked and freaked out by it that he screech so loudly. “WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON!!!!!!” Meanwhile, Twilight and the others were at the train leaving Canterlot to back to Ponyville. As while the others begin to talk about the exhibition match, Twilight stared at the window thinking about something. Gunpla Battles…….her thoughts echoed thinking about the battle that Kit did as the dusk now turn into night time for hoping for the next tomorrow.
Episode 4 - Kit Strike Neo PackageEpisode 4 - Kit Strike Neo Package In the Sugarcube Corner, everypony was celebrated for Pinkie's Congratulation on Winning on the First Exhibition Match Gunpla Battle for Kit Builder and his two new friends, Iroi Sei and Reiji. It was one of eveypony's favorite and memorable party because once they got there, they able to witness the battle itself. On the party, there was a Portable Plavsky Particle Generator that one of the party guest, the old stallion that watched the battle in the Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, brought with him to give the ponies the excitement of it. The Portable version of it is like a miniature of the big bulky version but also had a feature for on to go, it transformed into a portable saddle bag that act as a regular one to all ponies. The old colt allows anypony to tried it out and let them to borrow any Gunplas that he brought with him. One filly decide to use a darker and a armored bipedal robot with a orange visor and with shoulder weapons against a friend of his using a cyclops like robot with 2 pink monoeye and a wide spread of wings attach to its arms that give almost a appearance of a manta ray. Once those two fillies are down, the next one is the old colt facing both Sei Iori and Reiji using the Build Strike Gundam Full Package against a blue cyclops with horns sticking out and two shields attach to its arms along with a handle sticking out of the legs. Both of them swing their swords and upon them, clash at each other. "Heh, even without the universal booster, you and Reiji still got your charm, Sei." the old colt praise, launching a black whip at them, but the Build Strike able to dodge it, pulling another beam saber, and slice it in half. "We could say the same thing to you, Mr.Ral !" Sei said. "Glad you came to Equestria! We're even surprise that you watched us in battle yesterday!" "Save the chit chat for latter! Let's show him what we're made of!" Reiji said, charging in as with a boost from the backpack. "You and Sei maybe powerful but still - !" Mr. Ral's sentence was cut short when the Build Strike slice the Goulf R35 in half, ending the battle already. BATTLE ENDED As the particle generator now disperse back to normal, Mr. Ral still unfazed by his loss. "Impressive, Reiji and Sei. However even it's your own Gunpla on the box it's said, your own strengths didn't win this battle." He pointed to the Build Strike, now in a slash pose. " It was the performance of your new student's Gunpla, Kit! Never forget that!" "Yeesh, even it's been a long time seeing you, your Gunpla still simply obsolete." Reiji muttered in which Sei sighed at his sentence. "One more battle! Just one more!" Mr. Ral begging in which Reiji refused. While they kept beggin to battle in which Reiji's answer is the same, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity were watching them, sipping some of Pinkie's Punch. "Who knew that this old colt that's watching with us yesterday is actually a friend of Sei and Reiji?" Rarity remarked while they heard of arguments. "Yeah, they seem having a good time." Fluttershy take another sip of her punch. "Even if Reiji is bit......" "Obnoxious. That Reiji fellar is very obnoxious." Applejack finished her sentence, still glare at him who he didn't even notice. "Applejack, I know that Reiji ticked you off before, but you need to understand that he didn't mean to take it and called you that." Rarity tried to reason her. "I'll see when he apologize to me." Applejack muttered as she headed to the kitchen leaving the girls worried a bit. Still that even happen before, she still had ill feelings to Reiji. "Oh, I hope that Applejack still able to forgive him." Fluttershy said. Rarity patted on her shoulder and give a reassure smile to her in which she smile back. "Man I can't believe this!" Rainbow's voice was heard as they saw her, pouted and crossing her legs. "I usually get the spotlight on every party that Pinkie set up but now everypony came here for this robot toy battle! Me outdone by this Gun.....whatever you called that!" "Cheer up Rainbow!" Pinkie pop in front of her with her signature grin. "You still the most awesome pony ever! Unless if Kit Builder along with his two ponies pals able to become the very super duper awesome Gunpla Battlers ever or maybe even spread Gunplas from around the Equestria!" Rainbow starting to growl at those words. "Why don't you try it, Rainbow? It might be fun just like doing your practice on your flight except you won't need to use your wings!" "Me, playing with this robot toy battle? Ha!" the cyan pegasus grab a cup of punch and began to drink it. "The day I'm interesting in this robot toy battle is the day I turned down my daredevil license! No way and never will!" After that, she then zoomed off to the kitchen while Twilight head to her friends and tag along with her, a purple and green dragon, Spike, Twilight's best friend and number 1 assistant, came too. "Wow, who knew that one of our fillyhood friend, Kit, would be popular Twilight?" Spike said, taking a bite of a red frosting cupcake. "Still it's been a long time seeing him." "Spike, you hardly recognize him when your still a newborn." Twilight stated, narrow her eyes. "But I'm sure he might remember you." "Yeah, your right." Spike confess. "But what I didn't know is this um.....what it's called.....Gam....Gum....." "Gunpla, Spike." She corrected him. "Yeah, Gunpla Battle thing is becoming huge for the fillies, mares, and colts alike." Spike said as they watched of the three fighters still in a friendly arguments but then Pinkie popped up in front of Sei and Reiji, surprising them. "I'm so glad that I got to meet you Sei and Reiji! My Pinkie Sense tells me that we getting new ponies yesterday so I tried to find them in the train station to plan a surprise party but there's no train coming so I went and looked all the roads into Ponyville and nopony had ever seen new ponies in town! So I thought 'maybe they're pegasus or a unicorn that use a spell to walk on clouds and might going to Cloudsdale' so I went to Twilight so I can get her to cast a cloudwalking spell but then Twilight told me that we going on a picnic to see a friend of Twilight that she met while she tutoring in her old school, so I put my search for them for a 'Welcome to Ponyville' on hold and do it again by tomorrow! So how did you met Kit Builder? Did you two came from overseas because that would be awesome to visit your place so I can throw a 'Pinkie's super duper awesome party to your hometown!' How did these robot toys came-" Pinkie continued to talk so fast that Sei smiled nervously while Reiji give an annoyed look. "Wow she's very...........um..........hyper....." "I think my brain gone dead already." Reiji muttered, rubbing his head. Just then, a sweet voice that Sei knows too well was heard. "Iroi -ku." He turned and saw a unicorn mare that has a tan coat and silky brown mane that somewhat look like Twilight's but with a pink headband on to it and a glass that she wears and her cutie mark is paintbrush and a sketchbook come together. Next to her is a pegasus mare that has a snow white coat with a silver white silky mane that almost look identical to Fluttershy but shorter and also has a silver headband into it as her cutie mark is the same green gem as Sei's and Reiji's. "China!" Sei said happily which she giggled at him. "Hey, Alia." Reiji said, waving his hoof at her which she smiled at him. "We came here to Ponyville to find you two, but then we also encounter with a strange yet joyful pink pony who inviting us to a party and to our surprise that you two played Gunpla Battle with another pony named Kit Builder." Alia explained. "Well you see, Kit Builder is our new student who going to learn of our skills in Gunpla Battle." Sei said surprising them. "Really, that's great of you two. Good luck with that." China praise at them. "Oh you made it, Kit!" Pinkie shouted as the others turned and saw him but he had his head down, his mane cover his eyes a bit as he starting to walk to them. "There you are, Kit." Reiji said. "So are you ready to get some training?" "Hey are you ok?" Sei asked him worried about him. "Come with me you two." he muttered dragging both of them, leaving the others confused as he went upstairs to Pinkie's room as he set his stuff down and close the door. "Hey, what's wrong?" Reiji asked. "Sei.......Reiji........can you tell me clearly............", Kit starting to remember yesterday of them disappeared. "Who........WHO THE HAY ARE YOU TWO!!!!!!!" he screamed causing a rumble in the Sugarcube corner. "In a different world far away from where Kit lives, there was a beautiful and a peaceful country called Arian. And there lived a fine prince who was heir to the throne. Now this prince has a great deal of curiosity, and one day he found a secret treasure in the treasure room of the palace. Suddenly, the treasure began to move, and the prince's body was surrounded by an intense light! The prince then transport to Sei's home world called Earth and able to go to his world. He immediately decided to go and explore it. Everything was new, and he had exciting few days. And then...... The prince encounter Gunpla. With that, the prince and his friend enter the tournament to become the best and won it. But the prince had to leave this place and say goodbye to his friend and return to Arian. Everything was normal for the prince, then one day a remnant of the secret treasure create clones of them and transport the clones to Kit's home. Then out of nowhere the clones decide to spread Gunpla in this new world.", Reiji explained as various of drawings was showed in each order of his story. "You see the prince is me and Sei and I are the clones of the originals." Reiji finished explained to him in which his only silence and expression is ......well something like from a show that has the eyes of a lemon nutcase. He then placed both of his hooves on their foreheads. "We don't have a fever." Next checking their legs. "We're not sick either." And finally using his magic to check on them. "And we're not hexed." "Um, Reiji? " Sei laughed nervously "I think I'll try to explained him more of this story." Sei got up and cough a little to get his attention. "Well for some part of the story that he told is true. We're not actually the real 'Sei and Reiji' , but more of the clones created by the Plavsky Particles that came when you build the Build Strike and used it in battle. The mark of these 'cutie mark' that what you ponies called them, the particles can automatic create a Builder Mark for those who wield Gunplas and played Gunpla Battles. Our friends and rival came when anypony chosen their HG Build Fighter kits, build them, and use them on battle." "So let me guess this straight." he sat down to the side of the wall. "You're the clones of the original 'Sei and Reiji' created by the Plavsky Particles when I build my first Gunpla." They nodded. "And my cutie mark is actually a new mark that wasn't heard of in Equestria ; more of like a fake mark." He take a look at his cutie mark. "Well it's still a real cutie mark." Sei reassure him waving his hoofs with a nervous smile. "Don't judge too quickly." He then continue of what he know from them. "And your friends and rival appear here in Equestria when somepony build of this Build Fighter kits and use them in Gunpla Battle." They nodded. "Yep, except that I was a prince." Reiji bluttered out in which Sei glare at him. "Well, I'll believe you both." he sighed at this in which Reiji and Sei were surprised. He turned with a soft smile at them. "Well I knew consider that you two disappeared yesterday." "Finally! Somepony finally able to believe that I'm a prince!" Reiji shouted in happiness which both of them chuckled. "Anyway, Kit, have you thought of making your own Gunpla?" Sei asked him who was shuffling his hoof on his saddle bags. "Yeah, it's my own inspired by the Build Strike." he replied then found his sketchbook and showed him his picture. Sei turn the pages and found his drawing of his Gunpla. For his artistic, he might as well being a animator. The build of the Strike body remained the same and front skirt too. But what changes a bit is the middle on has triangle shaped that almost look like a cockpit, the shoulder armors had identical to the HG Astray Blue Frame Second L but incorporate with the build of the Build Strike, the head is somewhat look like the regular Strike but the v- fins has jet like flames behind it, giving it a flaming effect that he presume of it, the side skirt has winged pieces attach under it and the beam saber now has a connection point that can give him to do a double saber like the Strike Freedom,the legs look the same but with a armor pieces that looks like from the parts of the Universal Booster, and finally the biggest changes has to be the Build Booster. It has new wing pieces that he can tell some of it came from the Destiny Gundam, the blue 'feathers' now moved closer to it as the remaining ones now sprouted around the new blue pieces and the cannon that he were somewhat similar to the HG Gundam Age 1 Full Gransa but in a half hexagon shaped. And the final detail that he did was only the beam riffle and the shield. The shield remained the same but with new pieces that give out a bladed edge and the beam riffle had a wire tube under it as for the normal one, it remained the same. "The successor of the Build Strike Gundam Full Package, Kit Strike Neo Package!" he said triumphantly of his drawing. "Hmmm, it's looks amazing. Guessing by the shoulder armors, my guess that you got inspiration from the Astray Blue Frame Second L, the side skirt is from the Age 2 along using a new beam saber from the Strike Freedom, you added those armored pieces from the Universal Booster, a new connection pieces that you add from the Gunpla Battle Arms, and the big changes you did on the Build Booster is added the wing parts of the Destiny, put the feather pieces of the build booster into the new pieces you added like the new beam cannon. The only thing you added to the main weapons is blades on top of the shield.", Sei remarked at this picture and gave him back his sketchbook. "But I was wondering, what parts did you make the flames effect on the v fin?" "I also got it inspired by the HG Beginning 30 Gundam's orange v- fin." he replied "Shop Keeper recommended me to give it, a feisty touch to it." "Oh I see. Well it should be a easy built for you to start making it. But the problem is consider that it's inspired by the Build Strike, there aren't going to be more of it." Sei explained to him in which he didn't faze at this. "No worries, because by tomorrow, Shop Keeper will help me with it too." Kit replied. "He allow me to use any Gunplas that I need to make my own." "That's great, Kit." Reiji grinned at this. "And once you finished building it, we going to have a practice match with it. This time, I'll coach you of your pilot skills if we want to face that SeaCliff guy! Especially for that humiliation that he did yesterday!" He slammed his hoof in response to it. Kit watched this action put a worried face to him along with hung his head down. Still......Reiji.......I just want you to enjoy Gunpla Battles.......not with vengeance.......and you and Sei.........I wonder if........ his mind trailed off a bit but that didn't left it unnoticed by Sei who had a worried expression to him. "Hey what's wrong?" he put his hoof in his shoulder, giving his attention to him. "Well.......nothing. I'm okay." he shake his uncertain feeling off and give a smile. Then he got up and headed to the door. "C'mon guys! We can't miss Pinkie's party! I bet that she starting to give out her special cake!" With look at each other and nodded, they now headed to Pinkie's Party; Pinkie wonder them of what taking them so long as for Kit he told that they just planning to make Kit's own Gunpla. While he gave introduce Sei and Reiji to Twilight and her friends (Applejack saw him and holding a glare to Reiji who ignore her), Sei and Reiji introduce China, Alia, and Mr. Ral to him and his friends in which Spike was infatuated with both of the new mares with eyes now turned into hearts and having a crimson flushed on his cheek, causing Rarity to be irritated at this consider that he always have a crush on her. While Pinkie keeping the party on the beats to all ponies, she then pop out to the generator and asked Sei and Reiji to battle her in which they were confused at first, but nodded at it and getting their Gunpla ready to battle. While they battle Pinkie, who already random start to learn the controls in......well Pinkie second, Kit watches them with a smile then his expression turned to worries as he quickly shake it off of his mental thoughts and hold his smile so Pinkie won't worry. Little that he didn't know that Twilight already saw his expression and confused yet worried for him but knew she can asked him when she can come visit the school by tomorrow. At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, Shop Keeper began to sort out some new model kits that he ordered to each shelves by shelves, while whistling of a music that's well........from any of the Gundam series, then start cleaning the windows and check the neon lights along with restocking more paints on the paint sections. Once he's done with it, he then turn switch the sign, hanging on the door, from 'Closed' to 'Open'. He then pull out a huge checklist from his saddle bag. "Let's see, new Gunpla Kits from the Gundam Age series, check! Restock Paints, check! And windows clean and neon lights works, check and check!" he then begin to ticked off one by one then smile that everything is good for another business day. With that, a small groups of fillies, mares, and colts , with excitement, came to the store and start to find, buy, and start to build on the building table. From a small groups comes to the next one and over and over, it would seem that that because of Gunpla Battles on yesterday Pinkie's Party that many fillies, colts, and mares wanted to build their own Gunplas and battle with them. After the last group brought their own Gunplas, they now exit out of the store in which he sighed with not tired but with happiness that ponies become enamoured with Gunplas. He then look and saw half of the shelves almost completely empty, then look at the paints and the result is the same. He then headed to the back door, grabbing a stacks of boxes that almost completely covered his head and with some struggling to hold on his hooves, and start restocking again. Then he heard another hoof step coming to the store and he struggled to turned his head. "Hi welcome to ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP can I help you - Oh!" "Hey, Shop Keeper." Kit raised his hoof along with on his side is Sei and Reiji, who they gave him their signature smile. "K-Kit, g-good to see you.", he said, still struggling on holding the box as he almost about to trip, they rushed and helped him out. After restocking all of the shelves, Shop Keeper turned to them with his usual calm grinned. "Thank you for helping me; even if I didn't ask for it." "Don't worry," he said, dusting off from his coat "I had a habit of helping others." "Well since you came here, what can I help with you and your friends?", he asked wave a hoof. "Well, I want to start making my own Gunpla." he pointed to Sei and Reiji for further explanation "My friends say that they going to help me to make it with me." "Ah, because of Seacliff Breeze, eh?" this cause both Sei and Reiji to be surprised at this (except Kit). "I used to be a teacher of the Model Kit Building Club with him until I decide to open my first shop; he and I usually talk about what improvements, details, and others things we did." That make a little sense to them; consider that Seacliff already told Kit about it one time yesterday. As they enter the store, Kit check on his monthly saving allowance bits from his saddle bag. Let's see.......his mind echoed as he counting the amount of bits that he got. Only 150 bits, should be enough for all of the parts to make my true Gunpla. With that, he also pulled out his list and start to browse around the store, looking for the Gunplas that he need along with Sei and Reiji helping with him too. Luckly, they found all of the Gunplas and boosters that they needed and unlikely other model kit stores, all of the HG series cost 10 bits for each Shop Keeper said. Once they paid for all of them, leaving his allowance of 70 bits, they now headed to the building table as Kit got his supplies out of his saddle bags along with his tools and his model kit table set flat on the table. Then he also got his sketchbook out and flipping the pages to revealed his own drawing of his own Gunpla along with his Build Strike. "So are you ready?", Sei asked, looking at all of the Gunplas and booster that he brought which he nodded. "Ok, first you need to do is to examine of your Gunpla drawing," he explaining "Let's see, the shoulder of your Gunpla is a fusion of the Astray Blue Frame Second L and the Strike so we need to reshaped both of them to make them fit." With a nodded, he separate of the parts of the Gunplas that he gotten, in each section of the Gunplas that he gotten, he cut out of the armors that Sei told him as he teach him of how he did when he build the Build Strike. As Shop Keeper watch them, he then gave a small smile at how Kit now starting to enjoy of making his own Gunpla as he stare at the clear blue skies from the window. Don't worry, Mr. Builder, his thoughts said I'll look after your son while you go and spread it with him. On the nighttime, at a local diner, Reiji was walking around until he saw Mr. Ral, waiting for him at the front, leaning on to it. "Sorry, just like Earth, I'm not used to this world too." "Just like Earth too?" Mr. Ral question him but Reiji expression changed to serious. "Anyway, are you sure that you found the right one? The others are very uptight and snobbish." "I know. Follow me." The two now headed straight towards the downtown while at the some of the stores are open, most of them are closed as indicated by the few ponies that they seen. "It have been 5 years since you and Sei won the 7th Gunpla Battle World Tournament. We all thought that the old Plavsky Particles were gone but yet able to develop new ones from Earth while you left back to your home, Reiji. But surprising that the remains of the old ones survive here in this place and we hold the memories of every build fighters that we become 'them.' thanks to the scientist of the Neighponese, " Mr. Ral explain as they kept walking " And for that, the Neighponese now able to replicate the Plavsky Particles thus making Gunpla Battle from their home country a popular sport. But now, another company which are the engineers of the Plavsky Particles appeared called the Equestrian Plavsky Particle Corporation or EPPC for short, took over for them. They set up tournaments here underground of Equestria where the Diamond Dogs live as spread and promote Gunplas for other creatures such as zebras and griffons territories." As they come to a stop, they now at the front of a cafe club from downstairs like some jazz ponies come to play their tunes. "However, like us, some Neighponese ponies that move here along with other ponies, horses, or griffons love Gunplas and Gundams, even before the Equestria Gunpla Boom. They now become old soliders who've been through many battles. Such ponies, horses, and griffons even zebras come here after work gather here and free themselves by fighting at night by night." Mr. Ral walk downstairs while Reiji follow him and open the door for him, "Here's thier battlefield." As they went inside, they saw ponies, horses, and griffons are at the table while the others they were battle each other from space to desert by using a orange cyclops with weapons on the oval rectangle shaped like pod with thrusters on on the oval shaped, firing a bazooka onto a black gundam with a white cube shaped visor covered the eyes as it dodge it and fire a smaller beam riffle and hit it. Next a fighter transformed into a bulky bipedal creature with cyclop like eyes, shield hanging on the left and holding a longer beam riffle as it aim and fire at the white cyclops but as it about to dodge it, it then charges at it while distract it, pull a beam saber as about to swing but the white cyclops pulled a axe as it clash it with it. Mr. Ral walk over to the bar table while Reiji follow him watching the battle, "What do you think?" "Nice. They all look fanatic like Earth." One of them from the bar table turn and agape at his surprise, "L-Lieutenant!" Another came too, "Lieutenant Ral!" As they heard that name, all of them stop and starting to chant loudly while raising their hooves/claws, "Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!" This is too much like from Earth. Guess that Gunpla influence so much to this world. he thought of it as Mr. Ral raise his hoof to stop the chant. Then all of them rushed to him like he was a celebrity to them while Reiji got out of the way. "It's good to see you again, sir! Have you come to sortie?" "I be honor to play with you, sir!" "No, it's not me that I'll fight today." That raised confusion as he point to him "It's this colt that you'll be facing." However some of them raise doubt of this kid, "He's just a colt." "But he must be special to have recommended by you ", one of them said as he asked Reiji "So when you start Gunpla? How many have you built?" "A year ago, " he reached from his saddle bag and pull something out from it "and only one." He hold from his hoof a Gunpla with a head that have a triangler curved to it and a red triangle on top of a clear yellow v fin as the feature of the face is like the others but has two smaller mouth on the middle of the two shorter ones. From the view of the body, it have most of the triangler shaped from shoulder armor to the arms, chest, side skirt, legs, and the foot guard. On the back has a total of six beam saber as for the weapons onto the Gunpla, it have a shorter beam riffle shaped like a oversize pistol and a asymmetric shield and attach to the back was 3 additional beam sabers. "That's it?!" one of them exclaimed "Just one Beginning Gundam?!" "Now, Now, people. A warrior must show his strength not by words, but on the battlefield. Lend the colt a hand", Mr. Ral calm them down and explained which all of them did. "If you say so, sir" , one of them agreed. "Reiji you can use one of yours or rented one of them from the displays. Choose one you like ", said Mr. Ral, showing the display case full of Gunplas. "I go with my own. Beside, it's been a while to play Gunpla Battle for real!" Reiji said, earning smirk from the others fighters. "Heh, bring it on kid", a griffon boasting said. "Don't cry home to your mama", a zebra smugly said as all of them laugh at him. But when the battle start, Reiji and his Gunpla defeating them like they're nothing. BATTLE ENDED All of them were shocked as each of them said, "Too strong!" "Is this colt from the Ragonark Institute?!" "I knew you can do it, Reiji", Mr Ral thought of it "It's impressive that you still beat experienced soliders with your Beginning Gundam." "Mr. Ral", Reiji asked him, snapped him out of his thoughts. "What?" "I now two things like before." he turned to his gunpla "First, I need to understand that the Build Strike is now Kit's and see how well that Sei help him to build his own Gunpla, and testing to see how great he made. However I also need to allow him to fight on his own battle and to give faith that he able to do it without my assistance. Yet, I also need to help him to teach of battle it well. And the other is, it won't be even a workout with these guys." The other soilders grunted with angry expression as he continue to speak, "Yuuki really taught Seacliff very well........." He remember of the battle before, "Seacliff's Gunpla is way stronger that this. Like being in the next level that me and Sei face before." "I need more." he then shouted to the soilders "Is there anyone stronger around here?" That caused infuriated to all of them as each of them place their Gunplas on the generator , "Don't get carried away, kid!" "Don't mess with grown - ups!" "10 against one?! That's crazy!" Mr Ral exclaimed by this situation but Reiji smirk at this. "There still just small fry!" As the neon base return, the Beginning Gundam now charging at the whole group consist of the 'Old Zaku', a custom Full Armor GM, Guncannon custom, Zssa, ReZEL, Gafran, Geara Zulu Guard, DRA-C, Danazine, and Anksha. With dodging the beams fired from the Anksha and the custom Full Armor GM, the Beginning use its shield to block it as the explosion set off, it discard the shield and fire its beam riffle at them, hitting only the knee. Then the Zssa fired missile as well the Guncannon and the Gafran fire their beam cannons at it, but it dodge in time as it charging at them and then it kick the blue dragon to the side as in quick reflex it shot the head, destroying it in the process. But the ReZEL in its Wave rider mode charging at it and transform, grab its beam saber and thrust at it, however the Beginning manage to get away but its left arm is damaged in the process. "No! Stop the fight, Reiji!" Mr Ral appeared from the screen in the right side. "Are you kidding? Just for this?" Reiji asked incredulous. Then the Beginning threw away its riffle and grab its beam saber in a claw fashion as it charges at the Zssa, slicing it in half as it then charges at the 'Old Zaku' but its 'hidden claw' fire the bazooka underneath its arms as the Beginning dodge it but at the same time, the Anksha charges and swung its double beam saber at the arm, cutting at the process. Then the remaining groups now grab their sabers and charging at it. "This is the end!" Suddenly, two large beam hit all of them in quick shot, piercing the bodies as all of them exploded, saving the damaged Beginning Gundam. "What the ?" Reiji surprised by the event. Mr Ral was speechless as from the purple clouds comes a familiar Gunpla with design of asymmetrical, something that Reiji widened his eyes, feeling familiar from a rival in Earth. But was next to it is a Gunpla with design parts, giving reminiscent of the Epyon but a fusion of the Wing Zero. "Just with one shot from them, they took down 8 Gunpla in one motion....those Gunplas are......." With the base down, Reiji grunted, turn to the side and blunted said, "So you here huh?" Looking from the direction, a Pegasus with a light brown coat and a black mane cover his side a bit along with little hair sticking out a bit, wearing a brown coat as his cutie mark had the picture of a Pontalian flag with two wings to the side. Along with him, a female baby dragon with beautiful sapphire scales that shines like real ones, upper scales color in pink, and a gorgeous blue eyes. "It's been a while, Reiji. Guess you still don't need our help." he scratch the back of his mane. Mr Ral recognize the Pontalian voice, or rather Italy from Earth, "Fellini....." All of the soilders surprised including the bar waiter too at the surprise guests. "Ricardo Fellini of Itay from Earth." He then smile at him and said, "I see you still haven't change. But surprising is that your doing is pretty insane yet sweet to help your student is that right, Saphira?" "You could say that." she smirk at a bit. Then he turned to Reiji, "So how about it? How about going facing me and my student?" Reiji surprise at this but holds a grin, "Sounds fun." "Dad. Dad!" Kit was running towards a stallion that has his mane similar to his and a dark blue coat, smiling at him as both of them embracing each other in a hug. "Kit, I'm glad I got to see you again." he said, loving "Sorry for taking longer in my job." He shook his head, "It's ok dad. I'm glad you're home." His dad smile as both of them hug again to the which he nuzzle from his neck. "Dad, I want to show something." he got out of it and show him his custom Gunpla, the one that he drew now finally finished it. Then a neon blue base was formed as his Gunpla now flying high in the sky. "I made this for the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament with some of my help from my friends." Then the Build Strike soar up with Kit's Gunpla as both of them fly up together to the night skies. "Kit, I'm very proud of you." his father gave a smile both of them watches the night bright become envelop in a cosmic galaxies. "You truly become a builder to all ponies." "Kit. Kit, wake up." Twilight's voice was heard as his head was laid on the desk sleeping. Then his eyes stirred as he open a bit, his vision got blurry then focused to see her and Spike on the side. "Twilight," he then stretch his legs a bit and scratching his mane "what happen?" "Well, you fell asleep in the art class and the school is going to closed for the night." she explained as he turned and saw the sun now setting down. "Oh, guess I must dozy off, finish my true Gunpla." he look over it, having glances from them. "So this is your true Gunpla, Kit? It looks like the Build Strike." Spike asked. "Yeah, I finally finish it, this is my successor to the Build Strike Gundam Full Package. It's the Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package." his Gunpla really truly gave out the distant figure of the Build Strike Full Package but with his own design from his sketches : from the body design remain the same while the head design he did look slightly different from the normal Strike and attach from behind the v fins were two orange clear triangle shapes. Next the shoulder had a blue parts on the top while had white on the middle and red on the bottom with the grey pieces similar to the Build Strike had and a square shaped part on the end. The arms is likely the same as the Build Strike while in the skirt armor from the side and the front, two new beam sabers with a attachment to them store on to wing pieces similar to the age 2 and the front had only one change is a cockpit shaped crotch piece. From the legs are likely the same but this time a red pieces is colored on the knee and from the upper have a oval shaped pieces attach to it. But the biggest design is the new backpack. It have two blue pieces spread around but with red feather like pieces spread on to it like feathers of a bird and a white pieces attach to the middle. There also two wing pieces sticking out behind the head as two hexagon shaped cannons are rested on to it. "It has a upgraded version of the variable- output beam riffle, " the riffle is somewhat similar to the Build Strike " and a blade shaped multi - layered chobham shield for extra defense, " the shield look the same as the Build Strike but with a gun metal blade attach to the side, "and a newly backpack fighter that had similar features to the Full Package but with the 'Burst' feathers for increase the output performance. Combine with it, its power is increased by over 190%." "I don't know the math of it, but it looks strong, Kit." Spike remarked at it. "Not only strong but fast that not even pegasus can handle it, but Sei and Reiji going to help me to test it out today then we'll head to the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Championship Qualifiers that's held here in Canterlot just at the plaza by tomorrow." Kit explained getting his stuff ready "Is Sei and Reiji the two ponies that you met in Pinkie's party?" Twilight asked which he nodded. "Yeah. I want to enter the Underground Gunpla Battle World Tournament with them." Then he saw the clock as he place his Gunpla into his saddle bag and headed to the door, "I got to go. Sorry for talking so much, Twilight and Spike." "Oh" he stopped a bit and take a glance at them "please don't tell the teacher I was building Gunpla here." She nodded, "Don't worry, we won't." "Thank you." as he gave a small smile and headed out, leaving them behind. Twilight then take a quick glance onto the left side of the classroom and smile, "Spike." "Yes, Twilight?" "This classroom........ this is when I first met him during my time as a filly." She then flashback to her precious memories of how she and Kit met. Flashback A younger Twilight was working on the studies of the history of Equestria alone by herself. She was skimming through the pages and then taking notes on her notebook. Yet she was absorbed into the history that she didn't hear somepony coming in. "Excuse me." a voice snapped her out of her studies and turned to the door and saw a unicorn colt with a neat mane on the right. "Oh, I seen you before in the library. You also come to my art and math classes too." he come inside and got to his desk, digging something out "What are you doing here by yourself?" "Well, I was studying on the history of Equestria for the history test by tomorrow." she said, returning back to her reading as he pulled out a sketchbook and a pencil as he about to leave the class, he peek at the book that she was reading. "You know if you like, I got the notes that you need to study from my history class. Maybe we can study it together." he asked her which she at first shown some hesitation but the unicorn filly colt sat down next to her before she can speak. "Don't you had something you want to do?" she asked him narrow her eyes at the toothy grin colt. "Well yeah, but with you by yourself, I don't see why I want to help a friend out." he said, surprising her. "Friend? But why- we just- I don't even-", she stuttered. "I just had a habit. Like my dad, he always help everypony out and being a friend to them." he explained, got the notes out of his desk. "So are we ready to study?" She just nodded slowly and hesitantly said, "I- I guess......" "All right, my name's Kit. Kit Builder." he pointed to himself "What's yours?" "Twilight Sparkle." she answered. "Twilight Sparkle? That's cute name for a cute mare." he respond which she blushed. "You think I'm cute?" she hesitate asked which he nodded. "Of course. No doubt it." he responded still having his grin which she smile, still having pink flush kissing her cheek as both of them now study together. "I never had friends before in my fillyhood life because I always found it a waste of time, but Kit.........he's the one that became my first friend and the best of them." she thought as images of him and her studying together, chatting and helping each other. "He's always had a big goal of becoming his father and to spread the joy and happiness throughout Equestria. His talent in art really bring even Canterlot rich art ponies to shame as he also shown to also having a love of model kits like his dad." another images shown of him being happy with his father, made a portrait of The Castle of Two Sisters which earn him in first place, and teaching other fillies how to build their own model kit ponies. "But when his dad said that he going to help a friend overseas for 3 months, leaving him and his mother by themselves, he never did, causing him to be in such a grief that he shut himself away, never came out of his house, causing me to be heartbroken. I never seen him that day, feeling like I was betrayed." next images shown him of his father going out, Kit waited for him in the rain, haven't leave the house for a couple of days, and Twilight lowered her head down, feeling depressed. "But ever since I move to Ponyville and meeting new friends along with me being a princess, I heard from Lyra, that one of the student, Kit is enrolled back. I was at first feeling betrayed but she explained to me why he haven't come back. And I know that reason, I now want to repair our friendship back." End Flashback "Wow, that's very deep, Twilight." Spike remarked at her story. "Yeah, and now he's starting to become himself all because of his new friends and the new model kits, Gunpla. Slowly but surely." she said as felt her cheek little red. "Do you think we'll cheer him by tomorrow at the Qualifiers?" Spike asked which she nodded as both of them now heading out of the room as the sun setting down for the blankets of night to come. The next morning, Twilight, Spike, and the girls were at the front of a convention center at the plaza that have a logo 'Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament Qualifiers' as they headed inside where they open the main area, a huge massive cheer was heard along with a hooves stomp that give out of a equequake as in there was 5 Plavsky Particle generator with contestants battling. One of which is Diamond Tiara use her Gyan to defeat a Mobile Cgue and the other is Seacliff control his Gelgoog Wonder which he quickly shot out a customize white Zaku I Sniper Type and made it conceal defeat once the Gelgoog point its pistol at the back of the head. Match 4- Winner Seacliff Breeze "Still not enough fury......." he muttered, still got his mane to the side but fix it back to normal as Twilight, Spike, and the girls walk down to see the competition. "Princess?" Then they saw Seacliff waving at them along with Tatsuya Yuuki as both went up the stairs to see them. "I didn't know that you and your friends were interesting in Gunpla Battle." he said. "Well, it's not like that." she rubbing her legs. "Then I guess that you and your friends must come here to cheer for your friend, Kit." Yuuki said, earning a pink flush from her cheek as both fighters gave a genuine smiles as both of them look to the stadium, "He should be up after the match." They turned to their direction as another match was held as the Schuzrum Gallus thrust its spiked shield at the Airmaster which also swing its riffle at it, cause the blue knuckle fighter's head to pop out, ending the match. Battle Ended "My strongest Gunpla........" one of the contestant sadly sigh, picked up the Schuzrum Gallus as the particles dissipate. "Um, Mr. Yuuki?" Rarity asked him "I just don't get it. If everypony worked hard to build these robots, why would they fight with them? Having a work on art to be use on this uncouth fashion. No offensive of course." "It's because they all worked hard on them." he answered earning glances from them "Their own Gunpla are their strongest machine. Even if they damages their machines, they want to prove it. That's why." "In other words, to prove their strength." Twilight muttered understand of his words as they saw Kit and Sei coming in the stadium. "Here's Sei and Kit. But where's Reiji?" Fluttershy wonder as the others shrugged. Match 7 "We now begin match 7 of the first round of the World Tournament Qualifiers." a mic announced as both of them at the generator. "Is Sei and Kit are going to fight? But unless that Kit build his own along with his control skills........." Seacliff exclaimed as all of them watch the match. "Kit....." Twilight muttered worried. I know, still.......Reiji just want revenge on Seacliff. And Sei......he here to help me with improving my skills and I'm here just to enter to become a Gunpla Miester. his thoughts raced as he set his GB base. I blame myself for dragging them into all this. Then the Plavsky Particles start to flow, with a flash a Everfree Forest stage was set along with neon base for both fighters. I got my hopes too much........ but like all in every challengers, that's just my ego. I mean, Sei is fine and all but Reiji.......he has no common sense but very willful. I felt at first that they just ponies came from overseas, but with me discover Gunpla...... I realize that they're clones of the 'originals' from another world......I also read that clones pretend to have feelings and souls or rather copies of the originals but still......even if that's true, I'm felt happy that I got to met them and free from my loneliness after I lost my father....... Please set your Gunpla "And......." he remembers the time that both of them became mentors to him "We made a promise to fight together.........to play Gunpla Battle forever............ Why, Reiji? Why?" Then he start to shed a little tear, even he tried to hold, "Reiji, you.....bonehead!" "Who's a bonehead?" a familiar brash attitude as both of them turn as the base clear a bit and saw Reiji, catching his breath along with Mr Ral. "Sorry I'm late." he said, wave his hoof which seem to covered in bandages. "Reiji." Kit sighed, feeling happy then notice the bandages hoofs. "What happen to you?" Sei asked but he just walk to the right side. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's start." "Do you think......?" Kit asked him as Reiji take a glance at him with his usual grin. "Trust me." Kit nodded as he got out his Gunpla from his saddle bag, "Then I gonna need you to assist me when I use my own that I built. The Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package!" Seacliff, Yuuki, Twilight, Spike, and her friends have their eyes widened in surprise as Seacliff said, "It's so perfect." Diamond Tiara gritted her teeth that even Silver Spoon had no luck calming her down, "Now he built a successor of it?!" "I'm impressed that Sei's skill able to help Kit to build his own Gunpla that's worth a successor of the Build Strike. A Gunpla that's take to the next level." Mr Ral praised. As Kit set his Gunpla into the stage and his own flashed its eyes along with the orange ones once the scan complete, then he got to his controls along with Sei on the left got the computer screen, and Reiji got the backup controls. "You guys ready?" "Yeah!" "Let's go!" Battle start "Kit Builder!" "Iori Sei!" "Reiji!" "Kit Strike Neo Package! Taking off!" With his launched out of the base, it flew higher to the skies of the clouds as a blue Zedas fire yellow vulcans along with a beam cannon as the Kit Strike flew up down faster as the blue Zedas circle around transform into its mobile suit form as it quickly whip a beam saber from its claw and charged at him but it then clash with Kit Strike's own as with great amount of power, the Kit Strike's cut the yellow beam saber and slice off the hand as the Zedas tried to use its other one but the new gundam fire its own beam cannon at the other arm as it flew up to get distance as it fire the beam cannon but the Kit Strike kept dodging it. "Amazing, it's like the Full Package and the Universal Booster into one!" Reiji praise at the speed of Kit's Gunpla. "Nice job, Kit!" Sei added. It's all because of you two that help me to create it and Build Strike. his thoughts raced feeling happy. The performance is way higher than the Build Strike. But with you two, I able to control it like a part of my body. And your assistance able to help it through! Outside, Fellini wave his hoof which also in bandages as Saphira tender it well while watching the battle through to his GB base. "Man if 200 battles were that enough, you also made me and my student fight 400 battles." Then he felt a little cringed as Saphira dab some medicine onto his hoof and gave a narrow look, "Hold still, Fellini! You acting like a filly." He grinned with embarrassment as both of them gaze at the front of the convention center. "Now Sei and Reiji, pass your skills to your student so his can equally matched with the Pontalian champ's!" The Kit Strike charging towards, dodge the beam cannons with graceful movements. "Target acquired! Fire the beam riffle!" Sei said. "Ok!" he pressing the button and selected it. "Go!" all three shouted as the Kit Strike flashed its green eyes as it lock onto the opponent, it fire it as with the Zedas continue to chased it, the beam pierce through the chest, as explosion set off, ending the battle. "Wha-where did that kind of power came from?!" Sliver Spoon exclaimed astonished along with Diamond Tiara. "With one shot like the Build Strike?!" Mr Ral widened his eyes, astonished by it too. Even the Mane 6, Spike, Seacliff, and Yuuki were completely astonished by this that Rainbow could only say, "Awesome......" Battle Ended "All right! That was too easy!" Reiji praised as the neon bases dissipate "Nice going, Kit!" "Yeah, nice job!" Sei added to which they look at him, smiling while holding little tears that dripping down a bit. "I can't believe it.......we won round one.........together with.......my Gunpla....... I built......" he said, having his voice cracking. Then Reiji slap him on his back and said, "Hey, hey, why are you looking weepy? We're going to win it right?" Kit widened surprise as he wipe of the tears and said with determination, "Your right. Let's practice more onto it so we can win the next week's round two!" "Heh! And that's mean you going to do some toughest training with your own true Gunpla!" Reiji said, had his grin as usual. "And me to help you with improving your building skills!" Sei added, which Kit nodded. Meanwhile, Twilight sighed happy that Kit won, Applejack had a grin onto them (except Reiji), Rarity and Fluttershy were talking about how Kit's Gunpla design is, Pinkie is........well you get the idea of another party, as for Rainbow, she smile at the three of them, trying not to feel jealous as for Spike, his eyes were widened about the battle. Then she saw Seacliff and Yuuki now leaving, holding smiles at the battle. Now I seen it, Kit. Seacliff's thoughts raced then look at his mentor which he nodded and said, "The true performance of your new model...... your successor......" Twilight then turn and saw other contestants praise at them which Kit blush slightly in embarrassment including Sei as for Reiji's expression still the same (Not notcing that Diamond Tiara gritted her teeth while Silver Spoon trying to pushed her away from it) as she holds a smile at him and only said a few words, "So this is Gunpla." As for Fellini and Saphira, both of them got into a scooter bike and driving to the distance. Sei the builder. Reiji the fighter. And now, Kit Builder the student. I never thought that I'll see them take a stallion under their wings to make him the new Miester, at the World Tournament Qualifiers. Heh, it's going to be a blast to see my student take on another student of my own rivals! At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, Kit, Reiji, and Sei were practicing with them using the Build Strike against Kit's Kit Strike. So far, it seems like he's getting better at the time. "Good! Your getting the hang of this, Kit!" Reiji praise which Kit scratch his mane. "Thanks, but still I need to practice more of my own Gunpla." Kit said. "Well, we should get home, it's getting late." Sei said as they nodded as they exit out of the training room as the about to leave, they saw Twilight and Spike coming here. "Twilight? Spike?" Kit said "What are guys doing here?" "Friends of yours , lad." Shop Keeper asked which he nodded as he glances at them. "Welcome princess, I'm so honor to have you interesting in Gunplas. So what can I do for you?" he asked which he look around the shelves while Spike look at the display case like a fanboy. "You see, me and Spike wants to build our Gunplas. Do you have for beginners?" she asked. "Of course." He then look at the shelves until found two of them while Twilight and Spike look at the others. "I recommend this one." "Um, Mr. Shop Keeper?" "Yes?" "Do you have a Gunpla that matches me and Spike?" "Ah yes, let me find the one that's right for you." He scan the shelves until he pick up two Gunplas for them, the HG Gundam Legilis and the HG Stargazer Gundam. With paying the new Gunplas with Shop Keepers special that each of them for starters, gets a nipper and a sandpaper, both of them smile at each other. Then she take a glance at Kit and said, "Um, Kit?" "Yeah?" "Do you think you and your friends can help me and Spike building ours?" "Of course, no doubt." he said which she blushed at his words.
Episode 5 - Sword of the AppleEpisode 5 - Sword of the Apple In the Ponyville Schoolhouse, all of the foals headed to the entrance as all of them take their seats as the bell rang. Then Ms. Cheerliee came by with her genuine smile to them as she set her saddle bag down then turn to them, "Good morning, class!" "Good morning, Ms. Cheerliee!" all of the fillies said, giving back their smiles. "All right, before we get started on the cutie mark lessons, I want to say here when I mark you on my list" Ms. Cheerliee said as she grabbed her checklist and begin reading , "Rumble....." "Here!" a grey colt said. "Aura......" "Here!" a light pinkish filly said. "Applebloom?" "Right here!" a light yellow filly with a bowtie on her red mane said. "Sweetie Belle......." "Here!" a white unicorn filly with a light purple and pink curly mane said. "Scootaloo...." "Here!" a orange pegasus filly with a dark purple messy mane said. "Diamond Tiara....." "Right here!" the snobbish pink filly with a mane of light purple with a white streak and a tiara on top of her head. "Silver Spoon......" "Here!" the silver filly with the glasses and white faintly grey mane with a white streak. "Snips......." But there's no answer as the students look as they saw that Snips isn't here. "Guess he's late." Sweetie Belle wonder. "Of course, both him and Snails always be late for class." Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "All right, tardy for him." Ms. Cheerliee check off "Snails......." Same thing as she check him off too. Just as she going to continue calling for the other students, a door swung open and reveal to the surprised students and Ms. Cheerliee the two foals who they breathing heavily while carrying bags from their front legs. "Sorry.....we're.......late......." Snails said, breathing heavily. "Well," Ms. Cheerliee look at them with strict tone "at least you two are here, but since you two got here late, you two have detention for this week." Both of them slump their heads down while gave a exasperated sigh, "Yes, Ms. Cheerliee." "Now, what cause you two to be late today?" Ms. Cheerliee asked them, glaring at them. "Well", Snips and Snails digging through their bags and reach out two Gunplas, a HG Mobile Ginn and HGAG Baqto "we just went to the newly Ponyville's Plamo store, and brought our first Gunplas." "Yeah, we want to build ours so we can hope to battle, like Kit Builder." Snails added, hugging the Gunpla that he gotten, earning a lot of attention to the students "His own is the best of them!" Ms. Cheerliee sighed at their excuses, "At least take your seat, you two." Both of them nodded as they headed to their desk while placing their respective Gunplas onto their desk. Then Ms. Cheerliee then changed her expression and face the students, "Anyway, that would be it. Now for the cutie mark lesson, we're going to talk about........" While she continue to explain more while everypony was focusing on , Diamond Tiara stared down at her desk, gritted her teeth while whispered and growl at the one pony no three ponies that beaten her, "Kit Builder......... and those two..........." Flashback With the speed of sound, the Build Strike charging at the Gyan. "No.........no.........no....." she whimpered in fear "Who the hay are you two?" "LET'S GO!!!!!!!!" Both Sei and Reiji shouted as the Build Strike slash the Gyan in half as explosion set off. It's all because of them! If those two never came, I would able to make the Build Strike mine! And now, because of them, I became a second rated fighter and those three became a popular for foals on Equestria! her thoughts are in rage. Just you wait, Kit Builder, I'm going to build my ultimate Gyan and tear apart of your so called 'successor'. Outside, the foals are chatting with each other, some are playing jump rope, while at the table, Snips and Snails are building their own Gunplas, although they at first are confused but able to build it properly. Then at 1 hour after the first bell rang, all of the foals headed back to the classroom as Snips and Snails show their own Gunplas. Everypony (except Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and the Crusaders) were amazed by how the two colts able to finish it and turns out to be. Most of the students begin question of how they able to build it properly as it turns out, that at one point, at Ponyville, everypony somehow became engrossed with Gunplas and Gunpla Battles as there was a Plamo shop (or plastic model store) near one block to the Golden Oak Library as they saw the son of Model Builder, Kit Builder, practicing with two other stallions as they saw Kit's own Gunpla, the Kit Strike Gundam Neo Package battling with other fighters. After seeing the battle, they were amazed as they want to become like him as their reason of buying their own Gunplas. All of the students were amazed at their story, some of them heard of him shutting himself away from all of the ponies for his loss of his father, others gossip of him somehow changed all of the sudden and being more into Gunpla. Then Ms. Cheerliee blew a whistle from her hoof and said, "All right class back to your seat." They all did as Ms. Cheerliee then pass around papers to the class, "Now we going to do practice of the lesson for the test coming next week. I want you all to work with a partner to work together onto the paper that I'm passing. Does anypony got any question on the work?" Nopony even ask as they all gather their partner and begin working onto the assignments. Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle also decide to work together while Snips and Snails are mostly continue to talk about trying out their Gunplas. After the bell rang all of the foals now packed their stuff and headed out; Ms. Cheerliee told them that they'll continue working on it by tomorrow. As all of the students hang out at the front, the Crusaders headed to Ponyville as Sweetie Belle hold the list of the talents they attempt before, even the ones that Discord once help them. "So any talents that we didn't give a shot?" Scootaloo asked as Sweetie Belle read the list. "Well, unfortunately" she show the list, with check marks of all of them "that's all of them, including the ones that Discord tried to help us." All of them slump their heads with their exasperated sigh, their manes covered their eyes. Applebloom then shot up and asked, "How about we get some shakes at the Sugarcube Corner ? Maybe we can brainstorm for a new list." The others shrugged as they headed to it. Then as they enter and take their order, they brought out a new list from their saddle bags as they begin discussing of other talents they haven't tried. So forth, the Crusaders kept seeing mares, stallions, and foals discussing of Gunplas and Gunpla Battle, "So I made my own custom Gunpla that is stronger!" "Oh yes, those Gunpla Battles became a hit on Canterlot entertainment." "Really?! I really want to battle yours with my Gunpla!" "What's with everypony today?" Applebloom arch her eyebrow in confusion "They kept saying this 'Gunpla' stuff that Snips and Snails told about as if it became a big thing for everypony?" "It is!" Pinkie Pie popped up in front of them, surprising them "Gunpla is the best thing happen in Equestria!" "Pinkie where did you......?!" Applebloom asked. "Don't, Applebloom." Scootaloo interrupted her "Rainbow told me to never question her. She said that anypony question her will go crazy." Not want to further the question, Applebloom changed the subject, "Anyway, so what is this Gunpla that everypony so hyped up?" "It's a plastic model kit that you can build and battle with it in Gunpla Battle! It was so much fun it's like playing a video games only you really control your own creation! Everypony was so hyped up because of the first appearance of them in Canterlot for the Underground Gunpla Battle World Tournament Qualifiers that some of the ponies are start buying their own in order to compete in the competition to be the best!" Pinkie Pie explained to them which they got the message of her rambling. Suddenly, a door open with a ring from the doorbell as Pinkie Pie shot up and wave at the customer entering, "Oh! Hi, Kit!" Kit Builder wave his hoof at her too as he walk to a table near to the Crusaders and sat down, "Hey Pinkie. Do you think you can make some Vanilla Milkshake for me and my friends? 4 of them please?" "Of course!" she piped up as he pay the cost for it as Pinkie rushed to the kitchen preparing the drinks. Then he saw the Crusaders and with curiosity taken over him, he asked them, "Huh? Are you three.....?" "Um, hello there sir. M'ah name is Applebloom." she greet him and point to her friends "This is Scootaloo...." "Hi." Scootaloo wave at him. "And Sweetie Belle." "H-Hello there." Sweetie Belle stammer. "Nice to meet you three." he return them with a smile "If I guess correctly, you three are sisters to some of my friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity." "Well almost, Rainbow is like my sister figure." Scootaloo comment. "Wait you know our sisters?" Sweetie Belle asked him which he nodded. "Yeah, they told me about you three. You see I used to be a blank flank" he explained to them which they're surprised at first "but now I found my talent." He show them his Builder Mark which the others were confused at this. The Crusaders learned all of the type of marks that ponies gotten but they never seen this one before. In their eyes, his 'cutie mark' is a robot face being envelop in dark blue hue particles on the left while the design have a oddly strange shaped yellow horns sticking onto the front and a white piece that smoosh together with two small rectangle making a 'mouth' and a green eyes on top of that. To them, maybe it could be a newest talent that they never seen in Equestria. "Soooooo.........." Scootaloo trying to find a right words of his mark "Your talent is building robots?" "Well close, I actually build Gunplas and enter the Qualifiers to get in the World Tournament with my friends." he explained which the Crusaders gave him odd looks. Then a ring came as the others turned they saw two other stallions with a mare coming in. "Sei! Reiji! China!" Kit wave at them as they have a smile as they headed to Kit's table. "Hey, Kit. Glad you invite us to have snack at the Sugarcube Corner." Sei said taking his seat as Reiji and China take theirs too. "Of course, but I wish Alia can come too." Kit responded. "Yeah, but right now, she's helping with your friend Rarity with picking a design for her." said China as Kit nodded. "Um, Kit?" Sweetie Belle asked him, earning their attention to them "Are they your friends that you mention of enter the World Tournament?" "Yeah, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom, I like to meet my friends." he pointed at them. "The one on the right is Iroi Sei, Reiji, and China." "And the fillies are actually our friends' little sister." Kit introduce to them. "Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle. Also known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Nice to meet you, three." China said, sweetly. "Same thing." Sei nodded. "Hey!" Reiji just wave his hoof at them. "Nice to meet you three. I really like your mane, Ms. China." Sweetie Belle comment at her "It looks beautiful like my sister." "Thank you." she nodded and smile at her. Just then, Pinkie Pie came with a tray of 6 milkshake and passed to them with her signature grin, "There you go! 4 homemade Vanilla Milkshake courtesy of Pinkie Pie and the Sugarcube Corner!" The others laughed at Pinkie's randomness. Twilight's right. Kit thought of it. Pinkie Pie does make anypony smile. Or rather, she had the power to make it happen. "Thanks Pinkie." he said, gave her a smile which she grin at him back as she glance at the Crusaders, "As for the Crusaders, one orange, one vanilla, and one apple!" She passed to the Crusaders as she hopped back to the kitchen. With taking sips, the four ponies sigh happily at the treat that Pinkie made. Reiji taking big sips but not getting a brain freeze surprising the others, as they wonder if Kit wonder if Reiji's immune to brain freeze to which his answer is Reiji's head now blue and had a ice cube, covering half of his face as he clutch his head in pain, giving laugh from the others. After getting a hot coca for him to get the brain freeze off of him, all of them continue to talk about of their training. Turns out, Kit had been doing well with Sei's building skills like he needs to use weathering markers to give his Gunpla the honor of his battles as for Reiji, he able to match his well, but still got a long way to go. After that, Kit then asked China, "China, I was wondering. Do you also do Gunpla Battle too along with Alia?" She shook her head, "Only once." "I see. So do you know which pony had your original Gunpla? Sei and Reiji told me that you and Alia appear so that means that somepony have both of your original Gunplas and build it and battle with it." China start to think about it, putting her hoof onto her chin then glance at him with a mischievous smile, "We can't tell you. It's a secret." Kit chuckled a bit then nodded at her, "All right. But I hope that I can meet them soon." She nodded then change the topic, "So how's Twilight and Spike doing building their own?" "They doing well. They still not yet finished but they know how to build it well." Kit responded. Just then, the door open, revealing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with their smug expression as they dagger their narrow eyes at Kit, who now had a neutral expression including the Crusaders too. "Greetings everypony, today my daddy proposed a Gunpla Battle Tournament in the commemoration of the Underground Equestria Gunpla Battle World Tournament that's going to hosted up by next month, and it's going to happen on Ponyville." she explained which the others were surprised at this as she continue on "Everypony is invited to come, and there's going to be a prize for the winner, a year supply of Gunplas. I'll be there too as the final contestant." That made all of the ponies gasped as each of them have a excited vibe as most of them kept saying 'I'm going to win that prize' or 'That prize got my name to it.' As they saying that they going to enter, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon saw Kit and his friends as they walked towards them, still holding their smug face. "Well, you not going to enter my daddy's tournament?" said Diamond Tiara. "Sorry, but I got some training with Sei and Reiji for the next round of the Qualifiers." Kit said, holding his tone. "Oh, is it because you're not strong without your friends?" Silver Spoon taunt him, getting glares from Sei and Reiji including the Crusaders, for now picking on their new friends. "No, it's because I don't want to waste my time battling with two weak fillies mules." Kit countered which both of the snobbish fillies' jawed dropped down to the floor with their coats are white and having their eyes are in complete shocked. The others were laughing hard at them, China covered her mouth not to laugh, as the Crusaders are laughing hard too. That cause Diamond Tiara to have her face boil red, puff her cheeks and steam coming out of her ears along with dagger her eyes at him, "That's it! Now your cross the line! You going to battle me with your custom Gunplas by tomorrow at the tournament! I see if my daddy can make a exhibition match for this!" "I already told, I'm not going to-" Kit sighed as Diamond Tiara interrupted his sentence. "And if you don't come, then I persuade my daddy to ask the Qualifiers to boot you out of the tournament!" That caused the Crusaders to snapped, as they rushed and blocked the bullies away from them. "That's enough, Diamond Tiara!" Applebloom shouted. "Yeah, you had no right to do that to our friends!" Scootaloo added. "Leave him out of this!" Sweeite Belle defended him. This surprised them as they regain their cool, Diamond Tiara said to them, "Oh yeah? What are you going to do about, blank flanks? " Applebloom gritted her teeth as she said with determination, "I battle you, Diamond Tiara at Kit's place at the exhibition match." This caused the others to be surprised at this. Applebloom is going to battle Diamond Tiara at Kit's place at the exhibition match? But why? She doesn't have a Gunpla and a GB base to battle. "Fine, but once I defeat your Gunpla, Kit's next." she narrow her eyes at her then him which he glares back at her as the two snobbish fillies exit out of the Sugarcube Corner, with the four ponies and the Crusaders watch them leave. Scootaloo turn to Applebloom and asked, "Applebloom, what are you thinking?!" "I'm not going to let her threaten our friends." said Applebloom "Beside, this also a good chance that we the Cutie Mark Crusaders can outshine them." "Yeah, but how we're to fight?" Sweetie Belle asked her "We don't have our own Gunplas nor any training in Gunpla Battle." All of them starting to thinking of how they going to do it until Kit said, "We'll help you." The Crusaders look at them surprised by their offering as Applebloom asked him, "But Kit, don't you need to train for the Qualifiers next week?" "Yeah, but the way you stand up to your friends, that takes some courage for you, Applebloom, right Reiji?" Kit responded. "Yeah, beside you need to teach that snobbish filly to never underestimated you and your friends." Reiji agreeing with him. "Show her the strength of the Crusaders!" The three fillies nodded as they screamed that Kit, Sei, Reiji, and China clutch their ears tightly with their hooves, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS GUNPLA FIGHTERS, YAY!!!!!!!!" "What was that about?" Sei, with his mane flared up, asked Kit, who also got it too. "It's the Crusaders. Don't worry about it." Kit responded, fixing his mane back to his natural style as the others too. Decide not to question further, Kit and his friends along with the Crusaders headed out of the door. At the ROBOTIC HOBBY SHOP, the Crusaders look at the samples of Gunplas on the display case, trying to pick which one for Applebloom to use while Kit and his friends along with Shop Keeper watching too. They told him of Applebloom going to battle Diamond Tiara in his place at the exhibition match at Ponyville since she blackmail him of doing it otherwise she'll tell her daddy to boot him out of the Qualifiers. "That spoiled filly...........it's not one thing that she'll threaten to close my shop" Shop Keeper mumbled " but to tell her daddy to boot you of the competition just gone far enough." "I agree, she's a ignorant mule. Um no offense twice." Kit heard a noise as he turn, the others were surprise at the appearance of a mule. "None taken. Twice." the mule replied. The others decide not to question of it as Applebloom scratching her mane trying to figure out which Gunpla she want to make with smoke coming from her head. Shop Keeper came to the fillies and said with his calm tone, "I see you having trouble, miss. Do you need help?" "Well, to tell the truth, I don't know which Gunpla is good for me to build to prepare for tomorrow. " Applebloom look to the case unsure of the choices she want. "There's lots of Gunplas that you can choose or make." Sei replied, joining with Shop Keeper "You just need to let your imagination follow you." "If that's possible." she muttered as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look at their friends worried. Sei turn to the others shrugged of what they can do. Kit thought of it then an idea came up as he came to her side, "Applebloom, I think I know what Gunpla you might like." The others take glance at him, picking up two kits from the shelves, HGUC Gundam F91 and HG Sword Impulse Gundam. The Crusaders were confused as Kit said to her, "Now close your eyes, Applebloom. Imagine the two kits that I showed you will become one. A Gunpla that symbolize you." She nodded as she close her eyes, she imagine of the pictures of the F91 and the Sword Impulse now fusing together as a silhouette Gunpla begin to emerges as colors begin to blend together. She open her eyes widened, "I seen it! My Gunpla!" She grabbed the two with excitement and headed to the counter as with a grin to Kit, he headed there too. Sei then glance at him asked, "What did you did that made her choose the two Gunplas?" "A technique that my dad taught me" Kit explained "When I was little, I sometimes having trouble of finding a inspiration that I want to do, so my dad told me to close my eyes and let my imagination take over to glimpse of my inspiration." The others were taken by this. This is something that Sei did too, when he complete his Star Build Strike Gundam as they gave him a small smile as with the Crusaders return to them, the others headed to the table and start building Applebloom's Gunpla as the night twinkle. Morning rise as everypony lined up, getting sign at the town hall for the Gunpla Battle Tournament as inside of the town hall, everypony got to their seat as roared of fans shouted crazy. As in right side, Diamond Tiara was smirking while at the left, Applebloom narrow her eyes, holding her own Gunpla while Kit and the others were at the stand as Mr. Ral came to their side. "I surprise that you came, blank flank. Thought that you chicken out." Diamond Tiara taunted. "I don't plan on running away from you when you threaten my friend." Applebloom countered. "Very well, then I going to enjoy thrash your Gunpla and Kit's own!" Diamond Tiara said as both got to the generator on the middle. Please set your GB Base Both fillies set their GB base as their info appeared on their screen. Begin Plavsky Particle dispersal As the particles disperse, they begin forming around, creating into a rocky barren land with ruins of a ancient temples laid in sand. Field 2 - Desert As the particles create the base for the fighters, Applebloom look to her Gunpla. It like the fusion of both the F91 and the Sword Impulse with the F91 have the remain on its body and legs, it have forearms, v fin, and the two anti - ship swords of the impulse while the beam riffle and the shield retain the same of the F91. It has bright red colors to the side of the body, shoulder armor, and knee armors matched to Applebloom's mane while the hilts of the anti - ship swords have cutie marks of Applejack and Big Mac. The head is somewhat look the same but have the design almost fuse with the impulse. Next it has some of the rest of the coloring similar to the Sword Impulse and the final touch she did is adding the cutie mark crusaders' symbol on the left shoulder armor. "Please lend me your strength." she muttered as she heard the income's voice. Please set your Gunpla She set it down to the middle as with the particle scan it, her Gunpla's eyes flash in emerald green. Then she place her front hooves on the controls as the particles materialize into the launch sequence. Battle Start "Applebloom, F90 Sword, here I go!!!!!" With the catapult launched the F90 Sword, it spin around gracefully in the sky and land on the ground. Then it look around at the surrounding with the sandstorm blew harder as Applebloom caution look around while walking slowly. Okay, got to be careful........her thoughts ranged as a CAUTION sign screen alert her on the left as she turn and saw, a pink mono eye flash as a yellow beam thrust towards her but she dodge it quickly. Then it rapidly repeatedly thrust the yellow beam at her only for her to use her beam shield to block until the force of it, knock her to the ground as Applebloom shriek and grunted. Then as the sandstorm subsided, the attacker revealed to be a silver coated Gyan but with a newly different armor that sticking out on the side as two claw like arms came from the shoulders holding the two more beam sabers while the normal holding the two originals left. The chest piece was modified in almost reminisce of the SID from Gundam Age but retain the original Gyan body as two of the legs have spikey leg armors with the side have modified pieces of the Sinanju's thrusters as the feet have pointy spike on the end. Applebloom along with the others were shocked by the modification that Diamond Tiara did to her Gunpla. It was unbelievable to believe that this isn't the same Gyan that Kit, Sei, and Reiji fought her before. "You like my new Gyan?" Diamond Tiara taunted as Applebloom grunted "After my defeated at the hoof of your new 'friends' along with Kit's own Gunpla, I decide to tune with it to evenly match theirs. This is my true form of my Gunpla, the Gyan Devastator!!!!" "Sei, any ideas of what kind of Gunpla that she made?" Reiji asked him as a familiar voice was heard from the other side, "A successor to my Gyan Vulcan." The others turned as a brown coated colt with a unusually mane that longer that almost like a mare, wearing a purple jacket as a cutie mark is the Gyan face. "Sazaki Susumu?" Sei sputtered at this "What are you doing here?" "Checking to see my student . Very surprising that I able to find somepony who also a fond of the Gyan like me." he then take glance at Kit and smirk at him "And I'm surprised that you found a student to train to be you and Reiji's successor. If that your student is good as you two." "Sei, do you know that pony?" Kit asked him, ignoring Sazaki's insult. Sei nodded at him "He's a fighter that lives in my neighborhood back at my home world as well as the toughest fighter but his combat is too harsh to team up with him before. He also pilot the Gyan Vulcan, a newly built suit of his Gyan that me and Reiji fought before. " Kit understand his message as they focus back on the battlefield. As the F90 Sword hover away from the Gyan Devastator as it rapid thrusting four beam sabers at the F90 Sword which using its shield then back away and fire its beam riffle only for the beam sliced by it as explosion set off. Then the Gyan Devastator charged at the F90 as it's 'hidden arms' swing its beam sabers but only for a beam riffle sliced as the F90 jump out of the way, it pull two anti air ship swords from its backpack and block each of the hidden arms' attacks while with its regular arms, it then thrust its swords at the chest only Applebloom knocks out of the way, kicking the hidden arms then use its beam shield to block it as the Gyan Devastator continue to pierce the shields. "Pathetic, you are, Applebloom." Diamond Tiara taunting her "You think you can beat me with the Gunpla that Kit build for you? You just the same old blank flank that you and your Crusaders have no right to find talents. So you have no chance of winning!" Those words shocked her as with the final thrust, the F90's beam shield was broken off as with a ram from it, the F90 was toppled down on the sands near to the end of the stage. "Applebloom!" Scootaloo shouted. "Oh no!" Sweetie Belle shocked at this event. "C'mon Applebloom....." Reiji muttered, gritting his teeth. "Applebloom......" China muttered, having the same reaction as Sweetie Belle while Mr Ral, Sei, and Kit watched in disbelief as the Gyan Devastator now march towards to the F90 Sword, struggling to get up. It's no use, what do that we Crusaders able to find our talents..........Applebloom's thoughts wonder in depression. We tried everything we can to find our talents, and still we haven't gotten one..........and who am I thinking...........tried to fight in Kit's place to stop Diamond Tiara from boot him in competition? Some friend that I am.........I guess she's right............maybe we're meant to remain blank flanks for our lifetime...........she then lowered her head, the mane cover her eyes and begin shedding some tears until a voice snapped her out, "APPLEBLOOM, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!" She looked at the voice and saw Kit having a determined expression to her, "Don't let Diamond Tiara discouraged you! You can do this! We're all here for you!" "He's right! Get up and fight!" Sei shouted. "Yeah, show her the bonds of the Crusaders!" Reiji added. "Go Applebloom!" China shouted. "Applebloom!" Scootaloo smiled at her. "Go, Applebloom!" Sweetie Belle shouted. Applebloom was shocked that her friends kept encouraging her as she wiped her tears and glare at Diamond Tiara. "Rggh, you think that your friends' support will win this?!" Diamond Tiara shouted as she charging at her "Time for you to fall!" [INFINITY music begins] As everything including time become slow, the Gyan Devastator slam all of its swords into the F90 Sword only for it disappeared, surprising the others. Then behind her, the F90 now covered in yellowish glow with the addition of little wings on the shoulders, swung its sword and cut off the hidden arms as a explosion set off. "W-what the?!" Diamond Tiara disbelief at this as she charged back at her, block her swords, then seen three of the same machine. "Now there're three of them?!" "Whoa! Did Applebloom split the machine into three?!" Scootaloo asked, widen her eyes at this. "There just afterimages." Sei explained as the Crusaders take glance at him "When the F90 Sword moves at high speed, it's paint peeled off creating afterimages. That's why it's seem to split into three." "Wow, never knew that Applebloom's Gunpla have that potential." Sweetie Belle remarked "You made her a powerful starting Gunpla, Kit." "To tell the truth, I got help from my friends." Kit take glance at Sei, China, and Reiji which they smile back at him as they glance back at the battle. "I will not lose to the like of you!" Diamond Tiara screamed as both Gunplas swung their swords at each others and a huge wave explosion set off. As both blades clashed at each other, the F90 Sword kept dodging the Gyan Devastator's attack, blocking the thrust of the beam sword, while roundhouse kick at the side, losing balance as regain, the F90 Sword swing both swords then combine into one, twirl it, and swing downward towards the head but blocked by four beam sabers. As the suits begin struggling, Applebloom screamed as with her Gunpla's eyes flashed, the anti - air ship sword cut towards the four beam sabers and finally slice the Gyan in half with the explosion set off, ending the battle. [Music Stop] Battle Ended As the bases dissipate both fighters along with the stage's particles, Diamond Tiara, shocked by her loss, taken look at her destroyed Gunpla, whimpering, "My......my Gyan..........my ultimate Gyan........" "I won......." Applebloom was speechless then grew a huge smile "I won my first Gunpla Battle.........." "Applebloom!" Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle shouted as they tackled her on the ground, hugging her. "That was awesome you did!" Scootaloo comment. "You're incredible!" Sweetie Belle added as Kit and his friends along with Mr Ral came to their side. "Congratulation on your first victory, Applebloom." Mr Ral said, stomping his hooves as all of the crowds stomping their hooves and screamed at the most climax battle. "You did well, Applebloom." Kit helping her get up which she shook her head. "It was you and your friends that help me. Thanks, Kit." Applebloom said, which he was surprised at first but hold a smile. Then Applebloom checked to see if she gotten a cutie mark to which is the same result. "Aww, even in Gunpla Battle......." Sweetie Belle complained. "Don't worry," Reiji got their attention "I'm sure that you don't need those marks on you to show your talent. Just go for the ones you like the most." The Crusaders were surprised at first, but they hold a smile to him as Applebloom said, "Thanks, Reiji, but still we need to find it." As for Diamond Tiara, she was crying with river tears as Silver Spoon trying to cheer her up then Sakaki came to her side, having a neutral expression, "Diamond Tiara......." She looked at him,fearing for the worst only for him to pat her on the back and gave her a smile, "Don't worry, you got lot of things to learn about your Gunpla. So just cheer up and accept your losses." She was surprised at first and take glance at Kit, the Crusaders, and the others, then glance back at him with a smile, "All right, Sakaki. Thank you." With Applebloom got her Gunpla on her hooves, only one thing that she said to it, "Thank you, F90 Sword." "That's what happened" Kit explained to Twilight and her friends at Fluttershy's Cottage. Apparently, he and his friends came to visit the mane 6 today after the tournament "Applebloom became a champion on the Gunpla Battle Tournament and won a year supply of Gunplas and to our surprised, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon respected the Crusaders in their school instead of bullying them." "Well dang, no wonder there's a bunch of Gunplas in her room." Applejack commented "I even got surprised when I open her door and 'boom', I got washed by a bunch of them.But I got to say, you and your friends able to help m'ah sister. Thanks." "Yeah, but Reiji is the one who also taught her how to battle well." Kit explained which she glance at him, holding a scowl expression. Kit sensed it, place his hoof on her shoulder, "Listen, I know you're still mad at him, but if wasn't for him, none of this would happen. Just at least put your bitterness aside and make a fresh start." She looked at Kit before take glance at Reiji then sighed and walk towards him and said, "Well if Kit trusted you so much........and Applebloom gotten stronger........." she raised her hoof which surprised Reiji "then I guess we should make a fresh start then."
