Alexis snickered as Sakuya dropped her opponent like a sack of rocks, mostly due to all the shit talking people where doing before the fights started.
The 19th fight was nothing of note really, a Gouf Custom from 8th MS Team vs one of the new Graze Ritter units in which the Graze got chewed up by the Goufs Gatling Gun and tossed around by the Heat Wire cause the Graze pilot just did not being as good as the Gouf pilot, good enough for Alexis to figure this wasn't her first 'casual tourney'
"Looks like I'm up" Alexis said as she got up, gave Cassandra a kiss on the forehead before handing her to her brother and saying 'mommy will be right back', then grabbed her Queen Mansa and headed to the stage and got ready for the battle. the battle field was a ruined city, and as she approached the center of town she came under fire from a Seravee, Alexis avoided the first few shots from the Seraphim's beam cannons while the Seravee it self was charging the GN Bazooka to full power.
She was going to land, and charge in with a one of the 'Beam Sabers' or 'Beam Claymore' as she called them given the relative size difference between the Queen Mansa's Beam Sabers and almost every other Beam Saber out there, and just end it. But as she touched ground and the Seravee opened up with the full power of the GN Bazooka and the Seraphim's Beam Cannons, he made a comment to the effect of 'this is what you get for picking a worthless old hunk of junk like that'.
Alexis had dealt with a lot of flack for her choices in Gunpla through out the years, there's a certain stigma about the 00 Gundam pilots being 'Trans-Am Spammers', IE relying on Trans-Am to carry them to a win, and while she still dealt with that now and again, most that knew her knew she had grown out of that long ago. But this guys comment rubbed her wrong in a way that she hadn't felt in years, so she just tanked the blast with her I-Field and when the dust settled, the Queen Mansa just stood there, arms crossed, and red eye's a blaze, as if to say 'that it?'.
The Seravee and Seraphim, seeing beam cannons weren't gonna work, separated and and came at the Queen Mansa in a pincer attack, the Seravee coming from the front, and the Seraphim coming from the back, both with a Beam Saber active and ready to strike, and where stopped cold when Alex grabbed, and held up the Seravee by the chest armor, and back handed then forearm bashed the Seraphim into the ground with the other arm, the surprise from this sudden,simultaneous counter attack stopping him from reacting just long enough for Alexis to blast the Seravee dead center in the chest with a fully powered blast from the Mega Particle Cannon in the Queen Mansa's free arm, the blast ripping the Seravee free, after which Alexis fired a second blast into the back of the Seraphim, destroying it.
Alexis dropped the piece of the Seravee she still had a hold of and charged the MP Cannons in the chest and head to full power, as he hadn't been totally destroyed due to the Seravee's armor, and finished the crippled Gundam off, before silently collecting her Gunpla and leaving her 'opponent' to cope with what just happened.
