Fandom Plamo Battle:Plasvky Warfare

[SpaceRavens03]

“I-it can't be.....?” Inazuma muttered as she and Ryujo watched Kotori backing away from Elizabeth. Rekka himself was far more emotionally torn from seeing what had happened to his daughter occur once again right now.

“Um...pardon my intrusion.” Inazuma spoke, “Do you remember how you got here?”

The youngest of the Fukushima sisters asked, trying very carefully not to startle the potentially amnesiac Efreet any more than before.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Kotori thought for a second, before responding.

"I walked here."
She replied.

"So you remember nothing involving the battle you had with me?"

Kotori looked towards Ryujo, before looking away blushing.
Who is that boy? He's cute!

Rekka would walk up to Elizabeth, before whispering.

"If you need to, I have a apartment you can stay at until we get this situation figured out."

Elizabeth had an aura of shadow rising from her body.
"Yeah. That would be great. I can also plan out how to kick Ryujo's ass later."

Ryujo turned towards Elizabeth in shock.
"What in the 72 hells did I do?"

Mikazuki sighed. Another day, another girl for his harem. You really need to figure out who you're gonna end up with later.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“The circle expands huh?” Inazuma muttered softly with a shaky smile. Looks like Ryujo's life is taking an even weirder turn at this rate. Akatsuki, Ikazuchi and Hibiki were staring blanky outside of the battle room meanwhile.

“Sheesh...he's attracting ladies lef and right now isn't he?.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Later that night....

Ryujo was laying in his bed, looking towards the ceiling as he thought about the battle today.

I hate to think this, but Illya might try to send more anti newtype gunpla after me... And it scares me that I couldn't fight Kotori's Pale Rider by myself... So what happens if I enter a situation like that again and no one is there to save me?

Perhaps the answer is with me.

What do you mean Marcho?

It may be a long shot, but if you need me to, I can take over for the battle if it happens. Just because the Hades system scans human brainwaves, doesn't mean it can affect an AI like myself.

Ryujo would smile to himself.
Your help will be much needed... Thank you.

No, thank you for being my partner until Illya is brought back to her senses.

-The next Day-

Ryujo woke up to the feeling of a body next to him under the sheets. He would turn over to move the covers before jumping out of the bed, shocked, scared, and most of all, angry.

Kotori would open her eyes, before sitting up and waving.
"What are you doing here in my room?!"

"Your dad let me in."

Ryujo turned around with a look of dread on his face.

Dad? I understand he wants me to get together with a girl, but this is taking it too far!
He felt Kotori hug him from behind and rest her head on his back.

"So what are we doing today my love?"

Ah shit... I don't think Elizabeth will be thrilled by this.

-Later, at Iori's Models-

Ryujo would be sitting by himself, as he felt the daggers Elizabeth was glaring at him.

Kotori was out with the Akatsuki Sisters, while Ryujo was having to figure out how he was going to get out of this mess.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

For better or worse, Inazuma came back into Iori's model shop with her phone on hand, looking rather concened.

“Ryu, Soichiro's called!”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Right now Jing's in the infirmary getting him wound treated. From the looks of it, the Plavksy-manifested "GN Particle-laced" bullet's effects on him are genuine.”

Alex/Lockon explained to Ryujo, Inazuma, Elizabeth and Mikazuki via proxy of Soichiro's phone (with Kuroda's communication device being used to contact Alex temporarily.

“He's recovering soon though, mind you. If anything our main concern is of why Rosalia's decided to put us through some elaborately complex "trial" of sorts rather than just kill us and be done with it.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Mikazuki had his arms crossed listening.

Ryujo was the first to speak up, already knowing the answer.
"She's testing you guys to see if you could give Illya a Challenge! "

He looked away, with a hand clenched, shaking.
"What is her deal with creating the strongest fighter anyways? Gunpla Battle should be fun and about everyone doing their best, not to hurt others for the sake of becoming unbeatable! "

Elizabeth would sigh.
"If it adds to anything involving the issue at hand, Kotori was being manipulated into fighting Ryujo, and lost her Memories as a result. "

"And another thing, How do Jing and Soichiro know Rosaline so well?!

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Some people has a sick sense of thrill, especially in Gunpla Battle, so it can't be helped unfortunately.” Lockon lamented.

“Kotori's suffering from memory loss now?” Soichiro asked, “Just what was it that Illya made...?”

Although upon hearing Ryujo speak out the last part, Kuroda, Lockon and Soichiro suddenly fell dead silent.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"What?! Did I say something wrong?"
Ryujo asked.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“...Rosalia....was the Echo Fighter "Nena Trinity" years back. Someone who was part of the "Celestial Beings" faction in the "Gunpla Warfare" Tournament.”

Kuroda hesitantly explained.

“..She was Sochiro's older sister too.” Lockon added

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

That was a big surprise. Ryujo was unsure how to respond, but then would remember something.

"Wasn't "Nina Trinity" some sort of hotshot pilot who had a crush on setsuna though?"
Ryujo asked.

Mikazuki would reply.

"She was... But,"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“She already had a little bit of an unhealthy obsession of strong players before Setsuna revealed he was in love with someone else.” Lockon explained, “Even then...she never really struck us as the sort who would start hammering her perception onto others.”

“Yeah. The fact that she suddenly became who she is today was the least of our expectations....”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"..."
Ryujo would take out the Graze B to look at it.

"So if I am to bring Illya back to her senses... I need to fight Rosaline? "

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Brute force won't solve every issue we have...”

Everyone present suddenly heard Jing/Setsuna speak.

“H-hey, Setsuna, is it even okay for you to-”

“I'm fine now.”

Setsuna responded before speaking into the phone.

“Ryujo. You've met Nena...haven't you?”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Ryujo would look down, his eyes overshadowed by his hair.

"Yes."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“What did she tell you during your first interaction?”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"She wanted to send her regards to you and Soichiro..."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

For a brief moment, Setsuna remained silent as his mind processed what Ryujo had told him.

“...It may not be too late to snap them out of it after all.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Ryujo would tighten his grip on the Graze B.

"Except... I fear that a similar situation as to what happened to Kotori could happen. "

"I'll be honest, you definitely won't win if you have doubts in your ability to Battle. "
Elizabeth replied, though it sounded a little mean.

Mikazuki looked at Elizabeth with some surprise to his face.
"Don't you think that's a little harsh?"

"No, she's right."
Rekka replied, lighting a cigarette before smoking it.
"If he wants to Battle them, he needs to be in a state of clear mind. Once he has no issues battling, he can fight them."

Ryujo would turn around before speaking.
"I have too many doubts with myself... I don't think I can Battle anytime soon."
He then ran out of the building, tears trailing behind him.

I'm sorry! I can't!

Mikazuki would attempt to run after him, but he stopped.
"I don't believe I can help him. I want to comfort my son, but this is beyond my experience."

Rekka sighed.
"I guess I could-"

"No."
Elizabeth replied.

"Huh?"
"This isn't your responsibility. I should be the one to help him."
Elizabeth would then look towards Inazuma. "I might need help though."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Seeming to have immediate understood what she meant, Inazuma nodded in agreement towards Elizabeth.

“Got it.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

-Riverside-

Ryujo was laying in the grass, looking at the clouds flying overhead. The running water nearby would run through his ears, as Ryujo had felt himself drift away, away from the issues he was facing.

"Is something wrong Ryujo? "
He noticed the AI known as Marchosias was sitting down on both knees, looking down at him concerned.

Ryujo sat up quickly in shock and looked away from her. "I understand your able to do that, but please warn me next time! "

He then sighed. "Can I really be able to defeat a skilled battler like Illya, when she's.... "

He felt someone hug him.

"It's not something you need to worry about. As long as you Battle to enjoy it, you don't need to worry about winning or losing. "

He felt some doubt vanish from the AI's hug.

"Even if it's possible, she thinks victory is everything. "

"Then you just need to prove my previous owner wrong. "

"Ryujo?! "

He froze and turned his head to see Elizabeth, and he had a feeling she was not happy seeing the AI hugging him.

"Uh.... Would you believe me if I said-"

"Filthy two timing piece of..."

Ryujo felt like he was about to die.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“W-wait!”

Inazuma interjected and stood between Elizabeth and Ryujo (and Marchosias).

“I recognise her! She's Ryujo's sister!”

Inazuma then turned to look at Marchosias after having made the sudden lie.

“You told me that before when we first met....remember?”

Her back facing Elizabeth so the latter could not see, Ryujo and Marchosias could see Inazuma frantically mouthing out a "For now just play along to what I said! Please!" to the two of them, as if instructing them to weasel out of the awkward situation.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Really?"

Ryujo got up and scratched the back of his head, laughing nervously.

"Yes! It totally slipped my mind that I did introduce you to her!"

"You can call me Mikazuki."

Elizabeth would cross her arms and laugh.
"That I can believe! Kind of odd her name is the same as your dad's echo fighter name though."

"That's because mom thought she'd grow up to be an amazing gunpla battler like he was!"

Marchosias looked away.
"I still think you're the better pilot. "

"Oh come on sis! You're making me blush!"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

That was one bullet dodged, thought Inazuma as she mentally sighed in relief.

“Oh, Ryujo, we were actually looking for you because we wanted to have a little word with you.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"???"

Elizabeth would sigh. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I wasn't in your situation, so I had no room to talk."

Ryujo looked away.
"It's fine. I think I understand what I want to do now. I won't ever be fully recovered from that incident, but I will not let myself falter because of it."

He had a fist up pointing at Elizabeth.
"I can't get Illya back to her senses if I'm still afraid of battling, right?"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“It's okay to be afraid, Ryujo.” Inazuma spoke, “What matters is that we don't let our fear control our desires. Otherwise we'll never be able to achieve the results we've wanted.”
