@Renny@Dezuel@Double@KenjuGuySeo fumed at Rikus prompt arrival, insult, and just as prompt exit. “Make no mistake Riku!” He said to the boy walking back to his team. “These two are simply here to fill up my roster! Something that your team seems to be doing as well.” He accused, pointing to the young Tomiyoka that stood with the rest of team Imagine Victory.
"Hey, Seo, you sure you don't want me or Char-chan to handle him? He might be too much for you." Ryoichi asked.
Before Seo could answer the Shark jumped into the conversation, and just like Riku he slandered him and his Gunpla Mercenaries before leaving. Seo was actually pretty pleased because this time it seemed the Shark brought a fire to the glasses wearing mercs eyes.
“Hmph, are you sure you want to change targets now?” Seo asked half heartedly, even though the answer was obviously no. With the taunting the other team was doing, maybe he wouldn’t even need to do one of his amazingly fantastic and inspirational speeches. Maybe. … Well, he already wrote it so maybe he’ll save it for the next tournament.
"Let's get going shall we gentlemen? Unless you want to drop a verbal colony on them? Or fire the old man at them in hopes of taking them out?" The other merc said, now donning a white mask, mildly surprising Seo. He had known he wore a mask but this was the first time seeing it.
“No no, lets compose ourselves” Seo said with a smirk, regaining composure. “We’ll destroy them in combat. Everyone, look over your things once more. The battle starts soon!” He said looking up at the clock, noting how close it was to start.
@ShiyonichiIn the back of the group Hachiyama awkwardly waves back at Kai, unsure really how to properly react to the enemy fighters sign of respect.
“Hehe so Hachi, think today you’ll have a rematch with the Reaper?” The playful voice of Tanaka, the short brown haired member of the group. “Kobayashi thinks hes marked you for death.” He said with a joking chuckle.
The glasses wearing student interjected. “I said no such thing. I merely stated that the reaper might have realized Hachiyama as the most skilled in close combat in our group. And if the Reaper takes a similar position we might have .. problems.” He said as he noticed Hachiyamas nervousness rise.
The energetic, baseball cap wearing Komi put a hand on Hachiyamas shoulder. “Don’t worry.” He said assuringly, “The mercs will handle the Shark and Reaper. WE just gotta back up Seo for the rest.” He said and they all nodded in agreement.
Seo, who was listening in nodded satisfied. He knew the mercs would bolster team moral.
Kenjiro Noa, an old, almost 64 year old man, sighed as he watched his 2 grandsons and grandaughter look over all of the groups plastic toys, er “Gunpla”, before the round started. This really wasn’t the same as when his son, Fujiro, started playing this gunpla game. Back then Kenjiro would just go to the games and cheer his son on. Now? Now it seemed like his sons childhood past time could involve the whole family. And as fun as it has been to practice and play with his family he was unsure if he would truly be useful in this game.
“Are you fine Father?” Asked Nojiko his step daughter, bless her soul for taking care of his son.
“Oh I’m fine, just alittle worried.” He admitted.
“Theres nothing to worry about gramps!” The oldest of the children, Sojiro a 1st year middle schooler, said to him. “Me and you will be working together on this one so we’ll have eachothers backs.” he said with a smile and Kenjiro smiled whole heartedly.
Ah how nice it was to spend time with family.
Naoki at the front counter smiled happily as he finished the sign ups for their group. As he waited, he noticed an older man looking through the gunpla on the shelves. His eyes lingering on the original RX-78-2. “Ah, a lover of the classics eh? I myself am partial to mass production types. Being able to customize them to your liking much easier then ace units.”
The older man smiles “Ah but thats where the RX-78s beaty comes in. A strong but simple machine makes it both high performance and easy to customize.” He said as he turned to Naoki. “Fujiro Noa, leader of Team Noa Family.” The man said with an extended hand.
Naoki returned the gesture, shaking hands. “Naoki Yukihiro, leader of Team Imagine Victory. Seems like we’re going to be rivals this tournament, eh?” He asked and the older man smiled.
“Seems so. Let it be known that my family is pretty strong. We even have a secret weapon!” He said with a chuckle as he walked back to his family. “See you in the arena, Naoki Yukihiro”
Naoki smirked. “Seeya around Fujiro.” He said “You have a secret weapon?” He whispered to himself as he looked back to his own team, and the bag containing their flagship.
So do I.
@Blade17Hanko replied, ‘No problem, they’ll definitely add versatility to your arsenal.’ To Blades text as the red hair boy looked around. The arcade was mostly empty save for the participants and the store owner, a long haired woman with hair in a ponytail.
@Double@Shiyonichi@KenjuGuy@Blade17As Naoki walked up to his group, he was greeted by Riku who also just regrouped with Jun, "Whelp, Seo's right over there." he told Naoki. "And you can probably see the mercs he brought with him. I wouldn't worry too much about Seo. The poor bastard is so easy to manipulate I'm sure I'll crush him all over again. The two new guys though... I dunno, they might be pretty tough."
Naoki nodded “We’ll see how things play out, although ... ” Naoki almost went completely silent at Charmaine's helmet. It was almost nostalgic. But he quickly banished the thoughts as the store clerk entered the middle of the room and gathered everyone's attention.
The screen above the tables began to display information as the tables began to move, forming two arenas, one at the front of the store and one at the back.
Objective WARS Kishimoto Locals Tournament
Rules:
- In total, 2 Objective WARS Battles, 10,000 Production Points
- Failure to complete their objective results in defeat.
-Loss of all units and Production Points results in defeat.Naoki nodded to himself. This was going to be his first real test as a leader, he needed to be able to lead their group to victory. No matter what. A horrible first battle could result in a losing streak like many other groups have faced.
The screen soon changed again, revealing the match ups.
Team Imagine Victory VS Team Noa Family
Team Zenshin High VS Team Ikuro HighNaokis Gunpla Base pinged as he and the other leaders where given the details of their battles.
As a part of Operation Meteor, Team Imagine Victory has been assigned to destroy the target being kept in the Lake Victoria base guarded by Team Noa Family. The targets are 2 groups of Taurus models. One being kept at the base and one being transpoted to a space shuttle 100 kilometers north. Operation time will be 30 minutes.With a smile, Naoki turned to the others, gathering them all to explain the mission to them. "Out team will be split up in half, the Assault team, and the Chase team." He said as he broke the team in half.
Blade, Tomiyoka, and Jun being placed in the Chase team.
Naoki, Riku, and Kai on the Assault team.
"And Haro will pilot our flagship." He said as he finished assigning team. "We're going to be starting over 150 Kilometers east of Victoria, at 100 kilometers the Chase team will use the ships catapults to chase down the tauros heading north, at 30 kilometers the Assault team will do the same on the main base. Remember our main target is the Taurus models."
Naoki turned to Blade, "The Wing Zero has the best performance in the sky out of all the gunpla, And you seem to have the easiest time in the air out of all of us. Look after those two, ok?" Naoki said with a confident smile.
He then looked to Jun and Tomiyoka. "Although the Captain Miracle can fly its not capable of long distance flights like the Wing Zero or Tomiyokas Zeta, I want you to use Tomiyokas Zeta Gundam as a Sub Flight system to catch up to the train with the others."
"I'll give further instructions out in the arena. For now. Break!!" He said as he ended the groups huddle, everyone getting into positions.
@Renny@DezuelAs a part of the Guinea Pig Squad, Team Zenshin High has been assigned to destroy the target invading the Earth Federations testing facility, Team Ikuro High. Defeat all enemies before they destroy all 4 control towers!. Operation time will be 30 minutes.Seo smiled as he gathered the group and gave instructions. "Zenshins main force will be guarding the towers. I hope you mercs can deal with the trash?" He asked slash instructed as he and the rest of the group walked to the tables, all preparing to launch.
