“Gunpla Festival?” Kai parroted. The Gunpla fighter had been to other so called unique events before and most took on the combat side, but he hadn’t really participated since Team Alexander disbanded. Mostly because such an event would have lots of eyes watching it and one of those eyes might be that person’s. And having that person looking down on him while not being able walk up to face them to meet eye to eye annoyed him on a personal level... Maybe that wasn’t a bad thing anymore. Though that might not be the case. While he was still more or less on this team to get to reach that person and it definitely wasn’t a guaranteed, he was confident that this team at least had the potential to get there.

“So it’s going to be a bit more of a big deal then just a couple of locals, then?” The Gunpla Fighter asked a question more on the rhetorical side. “... Alright then what’s the biggest event, the main show, everyone wants to see?” Kai asked, the Reaper had decided that he was going to declare war. And to guarantee that he was going to be heard he needed to the biggest stage. He couldn’t physically reach that person with his blade right now, so he was going to make sure that his voice did, not just her, but everyone of his old friends that he was back in the game.

“Good luck, Kid.” Kai gave a simple congrats to Tomiyoka. He didn’t really say anything else, it was his choice to leave or stay. While the Gunpla fighter didn’t dislike the kid, he wasn’t going to stop him from leaving, even if they were down one member, being out numbered wasn’t really much of a handicap, well at least to the Gunpla Reaper, sad to admit it, fighting with Souji was basically the equivalent of being down a member. The man was someone he called his best friend... but for all his skills with building he was just the worst at piloting. Case in point Souji had once piloted a Mobile Armor against a ball ...and lost... badly. Tomiyoka was probably better than his old friend and builder.

“So we’re getting newbies. Since Boss seems to have high standards of recruitment, I’m guessing it’s the mercs from last time.” Kai made a guess as he seen him trying to recruit them and if it was someone from Naoki’s own past then, they would probably would have at least heard of them. “Loudmouth, remember not to piss them off and chase them away. You already pissed of the Old man and I don’t know if that grudge has been settled.” The Gunpla Fighter also turned to Riku. “Hey, Yankee if ya also got time left over, do ya mind helping me with my Gunpla as well? I’ll be in yer debt if ya do.” Kai scratched his head before saying. “Though I’ve haven’t got a clue for how to settle that debt, besides beating someone up or something along those lines.”

“Oh, yer talking about my partner.” Kai paused putting a hand to the side of his face and taking a moment contemplate if he should talk or not, only to come to the conclusion that there was no other reason not to. If Naoki wanted to find out more about it, it wouldn’t really be difficult as the XCEED was very much a one of a kind mobile suit.

“It’s called the Turn-XCEED Gundam. If ya can’t tell from the name, it’s base design is the Turn-X Gundam... or was that just the Turn-X? Well doesn’t matter. If it seems too complex for me to have made it, that’s because it is. A friend of mine made it, if I had built it myself wouldn’t be in such a sorry state, it’s just too much for me to repair it properly. I was in a team before this, and any innovation made by him was basically kept under wraps for the usual reasons and our collapse meant that it wasn’t seen for too long leading to the obscurity.” Kai paused making it clear he did really want to talk about his old team.

“If yer wondering, no I can’t really get a hold of him right now.” The Gunpla fighter took a magazine off the wall before showing certain person on the cover.



Souji Kiryu, three time winner of the Mejin Cup Open Course.

“He’s been rather busy to say the least, gotten up there in the Gunpla world and still doesn’t seem to be to stopping anytime soon.”

Kai took the Turn- XCEED of the table. Once again he didn’t really feel anything about the victory. They were the stronger fighters, that’s all that mattered. Though he had to wonder if his words had gotten through. Kai looked down at his partner.

“Ya satisfied?” He whispered to it, before smirking and putting it back into the lacquer box and sealing it up once again. Kai looked up once again, this time to a stage further away and with a quiet voice that was drowned out by the crowd, he made a vow. “Akira. I’m coming for ya. When I do we’ll settle this.”

As the Ruby GN-X would dash forward, the Turn-XCEED would stand firm as the GN-X would attempt to slash it... only for the blade to meet an invisible wall and stopped. By using particle manipulation, Kai focused a part of the field of the XCEED to guard against the beam saber. “When piloting a Gunpla, don’t control it with your hands and controllers. Think of it like your own body.” The Gunpla Fighter gave one last piece of advice similar to what he gave earlier. It wasn’t fun to fight a weak Gunpla or a weak fighter, especially one who could do so much more.

The Turn-XCEED slapped aside the Beam Saber with it’s arm and point shield, before turning it’s body along with the motion. Particles would gather under the XCEED’s feet, as it unleashed an attack. “Gate of the Iron Fortress.” The other hand would shift forwards gathering particles which compressed around the arm, before it unleashed it as a palm strike which shot out the particles as shockwave to knock back the Red unit.

As the Red unit was sent flying back, Kai charged another attack. The finger protector of the Turn-XCEED shifted forwards and massive amounts of particles gathered around the hand once again and compressed into it’s palm as a sphere, resembling a small shining star.

The Turn-XCEED dashed forwards to the Ruby GN-X, the compressed star in hand and lightning running off it’s body. If it made contact, the sphere would rapidly decompress and consume the target. This was one of the Turn-XCEED’s signature attacks...

“NEUTRON IMPULSE!”

The XCEED attempted to ram the compressed star into it’s opponent to end the fight.

“Held back?” Hachiyama asked and Kai responded back. “Well, yeah. Guessing that’s your leader there, since he’s the only unique suit out of all ya and he can’t be the other merc. His Gunpla’s different and his piloting skill is just a whole lot worse than what I saw. You’d have to be a complete dumbass to mistaken the two. Your team uses the mostly the same Gunpla, it’s uncommon, ya know why? Because while it helps with consistency, it doesn’t allow the individuals on the team to grow on their own and weakens the team overall. The only team that uses the same Gunpla, is teams like SDR who are basically like one person in three bodies.”

The Gunpla fighter lectured as the GN Vulcans simply disappeared before it even hit the XCEED, due to it’s special field and the damage on the hand of the Gunpla simply regenerated using it’s Nanomachines, though it didn’t heal any of it’s other battle damage as it could only heal from damage inflicted during the battle and not before it.

“Kai, your full name ... is Kai Asakura right? As in the Asakura dojo right?” Hachiyama asked, to which Kai responded in a bit of irritation, which answered Hachiyama’s question. “In the Gunpla arena, I’m simply Kai, nothing more.” Though Kai simply listen to what Hachiyama had to say as the other Gunpla fighter activated Trans-Am attempting to slice him from behind, only for Kai to quickly turn around and block it with a raging orange beam saber from the arm of his Gunpla even with Trans-Am it wasn’t enough to overpower the cloaked Gunpla.

“While I do admit ya have the spirit of a samurai, loyalty isn’t just about following your leader around, true loyalty is about having the strength to challenge them and set the back on the right path as much as having the strength to achieve their desires.” Particles started to weave around the XCEED as the hood of it’s cloak was pushed back as a tassel of energy extended from the back of his head and the orange beam blade grew in intensity and color turning a bright blue as the strength of the XCEED suddenly increased drastically and with a swing of it’s arm, it blew away the Crimson GN-X.

“Allow me to show ya the next level.” Kai challenged Hachiyama. The inner frame of the Turn-XCEED started to glow a bright Azure and the Cracks along it’s body gave out the same shine. “When Gunpla and fighter come together, they unleash a new power.” Particles danced along the surface of the Turn-XCEED at blinding speeds, making it seem as if it was surrounded by lightning. “This power is known as... Assimilation!”

The Turn-XCEED revealed it’s other arm, it was mismatched and bulbous. The front of the arm opened up with five pseudo fingers as the center of the now open arm started charging particles, focusing it’s power into the ‘palm.’ The XCEED unleashed a powerful stream of azure energy, which streaked across the battlefield like a shooting star, completely decimated anything in it’s wake as it flew towards Hachiyama.

“Don’t worry about it, this XCEED Gundam is not for show.” Kai responded confidently, but didn’t explain further exactly why he was so confident about his damaged Gunpla, it’s actions would speak louder than his word. Instead he silently agreed to Naoki’s gambit.

“Crazier than I thought.” Kai commented as both Naoki and Charmine were sent flying and out of reach, but the surprise wasn’t over as they were missing one mercenary and that mercenary’s replacement would be a certain Red GN-X. As it dashed towards Kai the battle worn Gundam would wave it’s right hand out as the top of the armor would slide forwards to make a finger protector for the Gunpla as it’s hand glowed with energy and particles, before reaching forwards... and catching the GN Buster sword as a testament to the sheer strength of the Gunpla even in it’s current state, as it stopped the charge of the Red Unit with one hand. After all, this unit was made by Souji Kiryu, prodigy in Gunpla building called the second coming of Iori Sei. “Oi, The other mercenary is at another team, they switched them out on our end. The merc they switched out is the oldman, be careful.” Kai informed the rest of his crew. Before turning his attention to Hachiyama.

“Well, good to seeya.” Kai greeted Hachiyama. “That was a good attack.” It sounded sarcastic considering how easily it was stopped, but Kai was legitimate in his complement and wasn’t actually belittling the red GN-X pilot. “Though I got to ask ya, why do ya let yourself be held back?” The Gunpla fighter questioned. “I will say ya have quite a bit of potential, but you’re not being allowed to express that potential to the furthest, are ya? If ya did, you’d probably be more dangerous than that moron over there.” That moron being Seo, Kai didn’t need to fight him to see that he wasn’t anything special, just looking at how he controlled his funnels he could tell that. While he was definitely not expecting to see funnel control on the level of his old team leader, it was still below his standards and he’d expected Loudmouth to have barely any trouble against him.

“And Ya probably could have hit me with this.” The fingers of the XCEED tightened around the GN Buster Sword, which started to form cracks on the surface of the weapon under the pressure of the XCEED’s hand.

<Snipped quote by Renny>

Yeah that was basically the vibe I was going for. Strong new comers who are around the same 'potential' as the group.

@Crimson Lion

Does this make team Alexander the Rocks Crew? Being an overpowered team that broke apart before the story.

Gundam Build Fighters Imagine! [6/7]

I think you can undo it if it’s right after but not after you refresh the page.

Don’t worry the like has been received.

@Crimson Lion

Nope, apparently I can't.

Gundam Build Fighters Imagine! [6/7]

I accidentally pressed laugh on Crimson’s post and I can’t take it back... I’m not laughing at Naoki’s thoughts that Kai would actually be defeated at this point in the story.

Gundam Build Fighters Imagine! [6/7]

Fun fact, the reason why the Turn-XCEED is covered in Nanoskin is an call back to Turn-A Gundam. Originally the Turn-X’s design was too complex to draw for the show, so a scrapped idea to get around the problem was to cover it in Nanoskin for most of the show.

You can also think of it as a Exia Repair reference, if you’re a filthy casual.

It’s also a Omnimon Zwart D reference.
