Fandom Plamo Battle:Plasvky Warfare

[SpaceRavens03]

“.....Chh....!”

Gritting his teeth,Jing ran out of the café for the one likely place where the battle could be taking place.

“Jing! Where are you going!?”

Of all the things I've wanted......

Jing thought,memories of his battles alongside and against Illya flooded in as he remembers not the champion,but an eager beginner who wanted to become the strongest of all battlers.

For her to become the mirror of the Second Meijin.....is the very last thing I wanted for her!

--------------------------------------------------
Underground Gunpla Battle League
--------------------------------------------------
“....heh. I see your attitude towards battling has changed. I do wonder.....why do you still continue,if there was no one else capable of climbing to the very top like you've done? We're all nothing but weaklings in your eyes after all. Or.....are you perhaps flaunting the strength you possess that allowed you to crush every other battlers in your way? The strength that you possess thanks to a certain retired Echo Fighter you saw as an older brother figure...”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"My reason to battle.... Is to remain the strongest. If I can't find a worthy opponent....."

The Destiny pulled the Arondheit from the ground, before charging forward, her eyes shifting to an Amber color.
"I'll just destroy the weak ones until I find a strong opponent!"

-With Jing-

Ryujo would notice Jing's worried look, and he himself would run after him.

"Wait! If it's something dangerous, I should go too! I want to help!"

-Underground Battle-

The Wing Gundam would crash to the ground, a wing, arm, and leg missing, as Illya would exhale in disappointment.

"To think you and I were once equal, but now you're just weak, like everyone else."

The Destiny flew forward, a Palma Fiora Cannon ready to fire, but a Violet blur would get between them, as the Palma Fiora fired, and was redirected upwards.

Illya would look on in surprise, before she got a good look at her opponents gunpla. She would be confused for a moment.

Barbatos? No, it's head is covered, so I can't tell, but..... It looks like it almost. Wait, is that an ancho-

The Destiny was struck by the blunt part of what looked like an anchor, as the Destiny fell back and hit the ground. The Gunpla would point the anchor at the Destiny, before its pilot, who looked gender ambiguous due to the outfit it wore, which was to say a zipped up black jacket with a low waist and black jeans with black shoes. It wore a black head mask that resembled VIDAR's, before it looked at Illya directly in the eyes.

"You claim you are the strongest, but you aren't. You actually got weaker from the last time we met."
"A voice changer...... That actually sounds scary, your deep dark demonic voice, but I honestly have no idea who you are...."

The Destiny got up, before charging forward, but the unknown gunpla sidestepped the attack, before swinging the anchor point into the cockpit area, the Destiny exploding from the hit.

Illya's eyes were wide, before she fell on her knees, shocked.

The field vanished, but it was Enough time for Jing and Ryujo to see the end result, from the unknown person's appearance up to the destruction of the Destiny Gundam.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“This is......?”

He'd never have imagined it. Illya's Signature Destiny Gundam. Now in pieces. From what he's seen,the Wing Efreet couldn't have been able to do that. The announcer also just spoke seconds prior to him and Ryujo entering,and there was another Gunpla that stood in front of of fragments of the now-former champion's Gundam.

She......lost.

He was having mixed feelings about the situation that occured before him. Illya's loss should've been a good sign. Yet....it did not look like it was going to lead to a desirable result.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

The field vanished, as the Masked person picked up its gunpla, before heading to the exit.

"I won't take your title, but remember that there are some people who chose to not fight you because of fears becoming like the second Meijin. I only came today to show you that."

As the Masked person began to leave, Ryujo took a quick glance at it, as the Masked person also got a look at Ryujo.

Illya herself was shaking, before laughing meniacly.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

The very sight of her suddenly laughing like that brought Jing out in cold sweat. It was frightening to see her suddenly lose it to say the least. He tried to approach her in how's of calming her down.

“Illya...”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

I'm like the Second Meijin now? Heh heh heh.... Ah hahaha! So if that's what everyone thinks of me now, then I might as well start acting like it.

"Illya..."

She got up before tilting her head back to look at Jing, a terrifying smile could be seen on her face.

"Jing, how have you been? I see you have that 'Kid' next to you!"
She meant it as an insult. She could tell Ryujo lost a battle with him.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

It was not difficult to be able to tell either. She spoke in a rather condescending tone that all but screamed that she was no longer the tranquil Berserker from before.

“Illya,why are you- no......don't tell me you're actually going to....?”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"If I do, perhaps I'll finally get a worthy opponent!"
She would then turn around to directly face Jing.
"Although I'll have to build myself a new gunpla first.... But it will be an unbeatable one."
She then walked past Jing before saying,
"I know exactly what you are thinking. You aren't strong enough to take me down. I know all your tricks, and not one will be missed."

She then looked at Ryujo, before saying,
"Kotori is laying down over there. It seems the Zero System had rendered her unconscious for the time being."

She then left, as Ryujo clenched his fists.
Who does she think she is?! First she thought I can fight her, but now she says I'm weak?!

He also thought about how she said those words.
No, she thinks no one should deserve to be a gunpla battler if they aren't strong enough to fight her.....

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Silence momentarily filled Jing,before he stepped towards the table and swept up the fragments of Destiny onto his palms. It could clearly still be fixed back into one piece,but for whatever reasons Illya had completely given up on it. Looking down at the Destiny,where its head was seemingly also staring back at him,he could only weakly mutter:

“Destiny.....I'm sorry.....if I had kept a wary eye out for Illya you wouldn't have lost your beloved meister.....”

Right as he finished,the door swung open,revealing Soichiro who looked like he had just ran all the way to the underground battle league.

“W-what just happened...? I saw earlier just earlier and she suddenly told me I had no hopes of ever trying to defeat her and- ......is something wrong....?”

“Yes. ......"Berserker"-'s gone now. And I have no one to blame but myself for l
inadvertently letting her step onto this path.”

Jing spoke,his hands shaking with the Destiny still on his palms. Whether it was out of rage or sorrow,it was uncertain.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Ryujo himself would run over to the unconscious Kotori, before picking her up and carrying her piggyback style.

Kotori may have scared me because of our last fight, but even she didn't deserve this....

He looked towards Jing, who had the Destiny in his hands, before looking down in anger.

She's not going to get away with this....

Noticing Soichiro was there now, he approached the two, before noticing Jing was shaking.

Ryujo would put a hand out onto his shoulder, before speaking.

"Jing, I don't know why this happened, but I can make this promise, I will fight her to get her back. But.... Can you tell me more about this Illya person on the way to the hospital? I need to talk to Elizabeth too if possible."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“....Understood”

Jing complied. Eventually the three of them left the underground battle league,with Soichiro having picked up the Wing Efreet before they left.

Illya.....you've changed......but not in the way I've expect. And not in the way I've wanted either.....

--------------------------------------------------
3 Years Ago......

“Target located. Beginning phase one.”

Setsuna spoke as the 00 Raiser's GN Sword III unfolded. He was facing off against an ace custom composite of the Gundams he has piloted during his battles.



00 Horizon.....is it supposed to be a jab at the meaning of-

“Oi. Echo Fighter who calls himself Setsuna. Act and say his lines all you want,but only through battle will everyone know if you truly are just as good as the real deal.”

“Understood.”

“Now then.....let's get this started!”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya was watching from the sidelines. This was the third time this week Setsuna was challenged by someone, and she herself felt down.

What am I thinking? I don't believe I can battle someone amazing as him.... And with my piloting skills, I'm just as useless as a GM pilot.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Just as she thought that,Setsuna's 00 Raiser had just flew past 00 Horizon,managing to leave a gash on the torso of the latter Gundam.

“Tsch...! Not bad,however....Sword Bits! Engage!”

He's deploying the Sword Bits that soon? He's getting desperate.

The first GN Sword Bits fired (inadvertently revealing they too are modified) continuously at the 00 Raiser,forcing Setsuna to back away and maneuver past the web of beam shots headed for him from every direction. Unbeknownst to him,his opponent was taking that opportunity to charge up his modified GN Buster Sword,which was now producing a large beam sword not alike that of the Raiser Sword and Quantum Sword,having initiated Trans-Am earlier.

“I'm ending this now!”

00 Horizon swung the Blade down towards where the 00 Raiser is.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Whoever Setsuna was fighting was giving him a hard time. The way he fought was Quickly overwhelming the 00 Gundam. If that beam Sword hit....

However, a high speed light would fly out to intercept the beam Sword, before the light dispersed to reveal a Violet colored Destiny Gundam, that now had a huge gash mark in it. It's arms were out in a barricade position as it would fall back towards the ground.

"Setsuna, are you okay?" She asked, while the two were strangers technically, Illya didn't want Jing to lose this fight.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Hey!.what do you think you're d- Argh!”

Interrupting his opponent with a beam shot fired at the 00 Horizon's GN Buster Sword II,00 Raiser looked at where the violet coloured Destiny was. At Illya's terminal,she could see a pop up window,where Setsuna was now contacting her directly.

“Thank you. I owe you one.”

Setsuna spoke through the Celestial Beings pilot helmet he was wearing. It did not show,but he was smiling warmly at Illya under the visor. The 00 Raiser then turned to look at the 00 Horizon,who was now flying towards it.

“Here he comes....initiating Trans-Am!”



Before the 00 Horizon's GN Blades II could connect,the 00 Raiser had already flew behind the former,attempting to fire at its opponent's Gundam. It soon escalated into an all-out speed brawl as the Gundams both flew in zig-zagged pattern parallel of each other's flight path,evading the projectiles sent towards them while closing in for a close strike. The soon stopped in the middle of the battlefield,where their blades were now grinding into each other in an attempt to not slip and let the other cut either one of the two Gundams.

“Ch! If she hadn't stepped in I would've won! You only got off lucky for this one!”

“Negative.”

“What?”

“Your Sword Bits were flying closely towards each other before you unleashed the Raiser Sword onto me. I could've fired at them to goad them towards getting in range of your attack,using them as a bait to make you believe you took me down when 00 Raiser is still fully intact. Or even simple,I could just activate Trans-Am and quickly phase through and out of the wave-motion sword. Simply put.....you just wasted a technique simply for the sake of victory!”

“Shut up!”

00 Horizon tried to impale 00 Raiser on the chest,only for the latter to move his free hand at the GN Sword II located on the left waist where,rather than taking it off to parry the GN Blade II,simply used the anchor holding the sword in place as a pivot while the blade spun upwards,slicing the right arm of the former in arm.

“Eliminating the target!”

“Not yet! I still have the Sword Bits- Huh?”

There were none in his disposal. As if to rub salt onto his wound,Setsuna had his Gundam immediately (literally) disarm the 00 Horizon.

“Caught up in the battle to the point you've forgotten I took them all out. Try to be more mindful of your actions next time.”

“Damn you...Dammit all to hell....!”

With nothing left to protect it,the 00 Horizon was soon slice into half by one of the 3 Gundams it's design was based off,ironically enough.

“SETSUNA!!!!!”

*BOOM*

"Battle Ended"

The AR Field soon dissipated. Rather than retrieving 00 Raiser,Setsuna picked up the Destiny and handed it back to Illya.

“I noticed you have been watching every battle I was involved in for the past few weeks. Is there something you seek from the matches I was challenged in?”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya would look at the Destiny Gundam, which had a gash mark across the cockpit area, but it wasn't something serious, meaning it can be patched up easily.

She then turned towards Setsuna, before bowing.

"I... I want to learn from you! I know it's an odd request, but I wish to be as strong as a battler like you are, using the Gunpla I Built!"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Setsuna stood there,stunned momentarily at what he had heard. Him,a teacher? As good as a battler he is,he still has a lot to learn and adapt to. Not to mention that the two of them use a Gundam that is quite different in terms of mobility. Taking of his helmet,he sighed and looked at the Destiny Gundam,his black hair as messy as the actual Setsuna F Seiei. Echo Fighters like him are known to have been oddly similar looking to the names of the fictional characters they're named after all.

“I do not know what you saw in me that made you believe I was one of the strongest. However,I'll do my utmost best to help you in your journey to the levels of elites.”

He spoke,nodding at Illya with a small smile.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Thank you! I will do my best to live up to your expectations! I won't let you down!"

-Five months later-

It was the World Gunpla Battle Grand Prix, in the final round as Illya would be on her way to the battle table, her Destiny Gundam on hand, but now in a red and black color scheme. She could see Jing waiting for her, while her opponent, Kotori Takamiya, was waiting impatiently.

The final stage.... If I win here, I will prove myself to have come a long way from that day.... But what then?

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“About time you came....c'mon,let's get this over with before the crowd starts boo-ing.”

“Wait. Illya,a word with you for a short while if you don't mind?”

Jing asked. Ever since after that day,his hairstyle had changed along with the colour. The reason being nothing more than "To attract less attention",which had mixed results.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya would nod before asking, "What is it?"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I'm guessing you're now wondering what you'll be doing next after you've won the match against the Crimson Devil, aren't you?”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya would laugh as a bead of sweat dropped.
"I'm that easy to read aren't I?"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Jing himself also let of a soft laugh in response.

“Well. Kind of. Although I suppose it is only because I once had the same thought plaguing my mind in the past....up until I met you that is.”

Jing glanced at the arena,where Kotori once again waited,although this time not looking as impatient as before.

“It's pretty troublesome for those at the top. They end up being the very best,and all of sudden it feels as if there were no more paths that lay ahead of them for them to continue on. As if the journey had adruptly ended simply after reaching the very goal you've had for a long time.”

He then looked back at Illya,his former-protégé-turned-equal whom he pretty much saw as a sister like the Fukushima's four daughters.

“I'm not suggesting you have to take my advice into consideration,but after seeing how well you've improved over the last few months under my guidance,and how you've been showing newer battlers the ropes to become experienced...I do believe that you don't have to worry about the lack of goals at the end of the line. After all,it looks to me that a new objective awaits you at the end of the match.”

As if he had been snapped out of his imagination,Jing scratched the back of head upon the realisation of dragging the match from starting earlier despite promising it would be a short talk.

“Oh,right. Sorry. The last battle's waiting for you.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya would then grin, before looking at Kotori.

“Let’s show the audience a fight to remember!”

-Present Day, Outside of the Emergency Room-

Ryujo would sit there, thinking about the past he had with Illya.
Losing the one thing that every battler wishes for.... to think she’s become like this because....

“Jing, if she’s wanting a challenge, couldn’t you fight her, to snap her out of it?”

“Don’t you remember what just happened at the underground tournament?! That masked fighter defeated her, and she still went crazy!” Elizabeth would say, recalling what happened from what Soichiro told her.

“And she’s the one who....”
Elizabeth covered her face as she would cry. “What if Kotori won’t ever wake up?! What if the Zero system-“

“Calm down Miss Kyoujin! The doctors said they’re doing all they can! I’m sure your future girlfriend will be out in no time!”

At that moment, a doctor who had a frog like face entered the room, before meeting up with the group.

“Please tell me, did she wake up?!”
“I have good news, and bad news. The good news is, she’s awake. However, there’s the bad news. She lost her ability to move her left arm and leg.”

Ryujo would be shocked.
“But from what Soichiro told me, it should only cause mental issues if one used it for too long.... right?”
The frog faced doctor would look at at Ryujo, before shaking his head.
“The Zero System can be a tricky thing to figure out. Some people feel no different, others go insane. It’s not unheard of for one to lose the ability to move a limb, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone who can’t move two limbs.”

He would bring the group to Kotori’s temporary room, as she was in a bed, laying lifelessly for the most part, but she would look towards Jing and Elizabeth.

The Frog Faced doctor would leave to give them some time to talk.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Yo,sorry you had to see me in pretty sorry-”

“Don't you "yo" us like nothing major's happened...!”

Kotori immediately dropped her smile upon hearing the venomous tone Jing had. At least,that's what it would've sounded like to anyone else.

“Oh,right. Sorry about that. I let myself jump off the slope,fighting against Illya,didn't I?”

“That,and "Heero" had warned you and Kotorei against utilising the Zero System earlier on before you've used the Wing Zero Efreet.”

Jing reminded,sounding really disappointed at Kotori and Kotorei for the actions they made,gazing away while Kotori too looked away in guilt.

“Guess I messed up big time there didn't i.”

“......Rekka's going to be horrified if he saw this.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

Shaking his head,Jing walked off towards the door.

“Nothing. I'll leave you two alone to talk. I don't want to raise the tension between us.”

The open swung opened and he left.
