Gundam Build Fighters Equestria Arc

Episode 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.
