Previous ChapterNext ChapterEpisode 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.
