Aqua was once again behind the cash register in utter boredom as the girl from yesterday, who he now knew as Sunset Shimmer, was sweeping the floor.

“Is it always this slow?” Sunset asked, looking up from her sweeping for a second.

“Ever since that bigger shop in the mall opened up, yes,” Aqua sighed.

“Wow, that sucks,” Sunset said, “How do you make money?”

“I have a few dedicated customers that don’t have time to drive all the way to the mall from here, that and I always get the new models first and that’s where I make the big bucks,Oh and my sponsorship with the tournament organizers,” Aqua said.

“So when’s that?The time you make the big bucks I mean,” Sunny asked.

“Around the holidays usually,” Aqua said shrugging.

The store went silent for a few seconds, “So um what do you think about the upcoming tournament?”

“Not really interested in that, the only person I battle anymore is Trixie and only because she is a valued customer and very determined,” Aqua said waving away the idea of him competing in a tournament.

“But wouldn’t it bring attention to your store?” Sunset asked in confusion.

Aqua was silent for a second, “ Look kid, this store is on it’s last leg, all it will take is another store to open up in this area, and I'm done,” he said before walking into the back room, Sunset running after him.

“But if you were to win the tournament, people might come to the shop thinking the models here are better than sets from anywhere else,” Sunset said.

“Okay, let's assume I have a chance to even come close to winning that tournament,” Aqua said from where he was grabbing a broom from the corner. “As soon as they find out my models are the same quality as every other store’s models, they are never gonna come back here again,”

“Well I-I guess you're right,” Sunset said sadly.

“Anyway let-” Aqua said before he heard the bell at the front counter ring.

Aqua quickly made his way to the counter and was met with a mint green skinned young man with royal blue hair and with lime green highlights and ruby red eyes. He was wearing an Aviator Bomber jacket with a white V-neck shirt, a pair of navy blue jeans, and biker boots.

“Hey do you guys carry the Barbatos Lupus Rex kits? I need some extra parts for the upcoming tournament and the other stores don't carry it,” The young man said getting a bit nervous when Sunset walked into the room and caught his attention.

“Yeah, give me a second and I'll go grab one,” Aqua said going into the back and coming back with a kit that had a Gunpla that was largely white in color with yellow on the sides of the knee joints and the gill like vents on the waist and chest, as well as on the claw like appendages and the spike protruding from the waist and the front of its feet and as well as its V-shaped attentenna.

It has red lining the bottom of his feet, it’s face guard and on the top of its crotch guard. It had a tail like fixture extending from It’s waist, as it held a large black mace in its left hand.

“Thanks,” He said pulling out a bag of coin, “Um how much,”

“Three hundred bits,” Aqua said scanning the kit and handing it to him after taking the coin.

“Thanks man,” The young man said preparing to leave when a group of three young men in punk esc clothing walked in.

“Hey you, the loser with the blue hair,” The leader said marching up to the counter, “Battle me for a free kitt!”

“Which one do you want,” Aqua asked.

“The Gundam X kitt,” He said smirking.

Aqua walked into the back and handed the kitt to the young man, to everyone's bewilderment.

“What are you-?” The punk began.

“Just take it, I don’t gunpla battle,” Aqua said with a sigh.

“Ha that was easy, i'll be back tomorrow for another one if that's the case, later loser!” The punk said before being stopped by the young man from before.

“I’ll battle you for it, I won’t let you push people around like that!” He growled.

“Who do you think you are?” one of the punks asked.

“Polished Blade, at your service. Now, you game?” He said with a smirk.

“Alright, you don’t look tough, let’s go!” The leader said smirking.

The two stepped up to the Gunpla field and and took their gunpla out of the boxes hanging from their belts.

“Plavsky particles dispersal on,” The computer beeped.

The punk leader placed a black armoured cyclops esc Gunpla on his side before placing the cellular device on the panel. While Polished brought out a modified version of the Kit he was buying before. The main differences were the blade like wings extending from the back, and it’s tail was now more like a blade like chain. It held a huge shovel like greatsword, and it had 200mm caliber rifles mounted on its forearms, while its chest was more armour than the standard version of the gunpla. The color scheme was also changed, the suit mostly now being a steel blue, its claws and hands solid gold, and white forearms and legs.

“Polished Blade, Gundam Draconis, let's rock,” Blade said as his holographic cockpit formed around him,and he placed his headset around on his head and played *when the devil rises*.

“Dusk, Shadow Gelgoog, launching,” Dusk said as the field shifted to a heavily damaged space station.

“Alright, let's see… where are you gonna come from?” Polished muttered, his Gundam whirring to life as he landed in the scarred hanger and walked deeper into the ruined space station.

Suddenly, a yellow beam of light fired out of the darkness, hurtling straight for the Gundam. Polished quickly rolled out of the way and fired from his left arm mounted rifle, as he brought his greatsword off his back. His opponent dodged out of the way of the fire, putting him in Polished’s sights.

“Gotcha!” He said hitting his thruster charging his opponent at blinding speeds. He slammed his blade into the black armoured Mobile suit, sending him flying into the wall and causing sparks to fly as the Mobile Suit’s chest sparked with electricity where the blade had cut into its armour.

“D-damn it,” Dusk said before the Gundam sliced his Mobile suit clean in half.

“Victory: Polished blade,” The computer beeped.

“Damn it!” Dusk said grabbing the two halves of his gupla and running to the door, “You’ll pay for this, all of you!”

“Sheesh, someone's a poor sport,” Blade laughed before handing the kitt to Aqua.

“Thanks, you saved me three hundred bitts,” Aqua said as he stored the kitt underneath the counter.

“Why didn’t you battle him yourself?” Blade asked.

“I don’t gunpla battle, not anymore at least, besides it's better to just give people like that what they want. Eventually, they all get bored and leave you alone,” Aqua shrugged.

“That is a really sad outlook on life dude,” Blade said giving him a weirded out look.

“It doesn't really matter if someone takes a kit or two, this shop is as good as dead, and soon I'll have to find somewhere else to get income from,” Aqua sighed, “Anyway thanks for stopping by,”

“Bye,” Blade said walking out of the store.

“Are you really going to give up so soon?” Sunset asked Aqua.

“Yep,” Aqua said with a shrug.

“If you won’t fight for this store, I will,” Sunset said looking determined.

“I’m telling you, that tournament is a waste of time, Its not gonna bring any long time customers here, anyway your an employee, not the owner,” Aqua said shaking his head.

“We’ll see about that,” Sunset said, “Mind if I use the kits in the store?”

“Sure why not,” Aqua sighed going into the back room.

Suddenly Blade ran back into the store with a pant.

“I knew I recognized him from somewhere!” Blade declared.

“Aqua?” Sunset asked in confusion grabbing a kitt from of the shelves.

“Yeah, he was the world champ five years ago, and he held the title for four years! He kinda disappeared after his Gunpla was crushed to dust by a particularly brutal opponent… isn’t that right Ruby Blitz?!” Blade shouted to Aqua who was still in the back.

The sound of something falling down in the back could be heard as Aqua ran into the main room.

“Okay kid, listen up and listen good, I don’t gunpla battle anymore , period, Ruby Blitz was grounded into dust,there’s nothing left, and I don’t plan on rebuilding it anytime soon,” Aqua said looking downtrodden for a second before saying, “I don’t have any interest with playing with plastic toys for anything but humoring Trixie,”

“Toys? TOYS? You used to love Gunpla! Anyone who watches you battle would know that, you… you were the best, you were funny, you had a way of making even a one sided fight fun to watch, and when you lost you jumped back up and kept going, but look at you now! You, the not so proud owner of a dieing store?” Blade said getting angry.

“Reality hit me, that’s what happened,” Aqua said coldly.

“BULLSHIT!” Blade said getting in Aqua’s face, “I know for a fact that one loss wouldn’t have put you down like that, hell, I’ve seen Ruby Blitz in a worse condition after a fight! So what really happened?”

“The way I see it, I don’t have to tell you shit,” Aqua said turning around and walking back to the counter.

“Alright tough guy, how about this, Lets battle, If I win you have to spill the beans, but if you win you don't have to tell me shit! Just as long as you enter the tournament,” Blade said smirking.

“Oh and why would I battle you?” Aqua laughed.

“I thought you said you would battle a valued customer, If you agree to my terms I'll buy five of your most expensive kits, and buy at least one kit every week from now on!” Blade grinned.

Aqua looked at him for a second before laughing, “Man you drive a hard bargain, alright fine... I agree to you terms, Sunny grab the little box from under the counter and toss it to me,”

Sunset compiled and they took their places at the field.

“Plavsky particles dispersal on,” The computer beeped.

“Polished blade, Gundam Draconis, let’s rock!,” Blade said grinning before thinking, “I'm going up against the former champ this is gonna be awesome,”

“Oh by the way kid, I assume that dropping out of the tournament is against our deal?” Aqua asked.

“Oh right, yeah it is!” Blade said blushing at when he realized the loophole.

“Okay, let's do this, Aqua Blade Gundam Wing Sapphire, launch,” Aqua said as the field switched to the Grand Canyon.

Aqua double checked his systems and began his search for his opponent,splashing thought the river at the bottom to the canyon that barely came up to the toe of his suit’s boot like feet.

“Okay, so he’s using a modified Lupen Rex kit, heh, a long range suit with acceptable close quarters cabiblites up against a close quarters suit with decent mid to long range capabilities, this is gonna be interesting,” Aqua chuckled, “Now wh-” suddenly a glint of light reflecting off metal caught from above him caused him to convert to his jet mode. Narrowly flying out of the way of the Blade as he slammed his blade down at the spot where Aqua was standing.

Aqua quickly reverted back to his combat mode and fired off several blasts from his beam cannon, his opponent gracefully dodging his attacks. Blade hit his thruster, dashing up to Aqua and trying to get close enough to hit him with the blade, only to instead get blasted with a full power beam from his opponents buster rifle, sending him flying back.

“Damn,” Blade cursed narrowly dodging another blast from Aqua.

Aqua landed and deployed his wing funnels, it surrounded Blade and began to rapidly fire beams at Blade.

“You know, you used to be a close quarters fighter, but now you're using a long range Gunpla? What’s up with that?” Blade asked, swinging his blade and taking out three of the funnels before firing his arm rifles, effectively destroying four more as he dodged their fire.

He swung his blade one more time,before a beam of energy sliced into his sword arm, cutting off the forearm and causing it to fall to the ground. Blade dodged by dashing backwards with his thruster, firing off several more rounds and destroying the last of the funnels but not before Aqua sliced off his remaining rifle.

Aqua then prepared to fire a beam directly into the cockpit of the Blade’s Gunpla which had now grabbed the sword in its other hand and was charging Aqua. Aqua lined up the shot and pulled the trigger, getting a clink in response, he quickly looked down seeing that his rifle was out of charges.

“Shit,” Aqua cursed dropping the riffle and drawing his beam saber. He hit his remaining thrusters to meet Blade’s charge and attempted to slice through his blade. Blade however had a different idea, not even trying to meet the beam saber in a clash he instead attempted to slice off his saber arm. He succeeded, causing the arm to fall to the ground and into the river.

“Damn it,” Aqua said hitting a gold button on his panel, his gunpla glowing gold and as he brought up his arm and charging at nearly blinding speeds.

“Take this! Shining finger!!!” Aqua said punching through the Blade’s gundam.

“Victory: Aqua Blade,” The computer beeped.

“Welp guess your going to join the tournament eh?” Blade said with a grin.

Aqua sighed, “Yeah a deals a deal,”

“Sweet! Later!” Blade said grabbing his damaged Gunpla and running out of the store.

“This is great! We can both help each other win this thing!” Sunset said excitedly, “I'll bring a friend of mine here tomorrow and we can get to work,” she said running out of the door.

Aqua watched her leave, “Wonder how long it will take til’ she realizes that her shift isn’t over yet,”
