PART C: "Calm Before the Storm"

Leon looks around, with a sigh. This place was getting a little dull, and he was getting bored. He reached down to test the snow, and finding that it was wet enough, grabed up two handfulls. Packing it into a ball shape, he takes aim with his snow ball, and takes aim at the closest suker nearby, which happens to be Kisu, bowl of noodles in his hands. Leon pulls back and fires off the snow ball

Hokkaido
Festival Curry booth

Kisu was enjoying his Curry eating the delicious potatoes and carrots with the spices doing a great job of warming him up. As he enjoyed the Curry's flavor a snow ball whizzed past him nearly hitting the bowl of curry and smacking the bemused owner of the shop in the face the owner looked at Kisu and said "if you get him back good this bowl and the next three are on the house." as he pointed out Leon the person who had thrown the snowball

With an evil glint in his eye Kisu stood up and grabbing a handful of snow he sent a snowball sailing strait at Leon, he had a fully stocked kitchen in his cottage but who could turn down three free bowls of curry with extra rice

Leon takes the snow ball to the face directly, blinding him momentarily. Whiping the snow out of his face, he reaches down and picks up another batch of snow, forming it into a ball. Pulling back, he aims for the bowl of Curry in Kisu's hands.

Kisu saw the snow ball miss not only him but the curry stand in general. Setting his curry back down after a quick bite he looks at Leon and lobs another snow ball at him with a bark-like laugh

As another snow ball misses, and another smacks him in the face, Leon is worried. This was bad. If his next shot missed, he would give up, as he was never ment to do this. Fate worked against him this time. Leon grabs up one last amount of snow, bigger this time, and pulls back releasing it directly at Kisu.

Kisu saw another snowball flying towards him this time he quickly ducked out of it's way and sent another snow ball flying at the very frustrated Leon.

Leon sighs, and drops his arms. He had to be the worst Snow ball fighter in the world. Three misses, three hits, and his oponent did not miss him once. He raises his arms in surrender.

"I GIVE, I SURRENDER."

Leon says at the top of his lungs.

"Obviously my luck with snow balls does not match my skill with gunpla."

Leon says with a sigh, as he lowers his arms.

"At least there, I have my shield."

"It's all about the three D's dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge" Kisu said with a smile then looking at his buddy he said "Well Now that I have saved some money on my Curry Lets head to the local Sake House and I Will bye you a couple cups of Sake that should warm you up a bit." Kisu said as he grabbed his food and led Leon to the Sake house he had seen on his earlier explorations of the city.

As he passed Luciano he said "Hey me and my new buddy are going to the sake house come on lets drink and be merry" Kisu then proceeded to try and herd both of them to the Sake house.

Leon looks up at the word Sake, and grins. This would indeed be a fun night. People had told him he was a fun drunk, though the hangover in the morning was never very fun.

"Fine by me. I am always good for a drink."

Charles gasped when it wasnt natsume, but a male lacus cosplayer. He cursed his luck and kept looking around for her for a lil bit, before he just decided to take a break. He decided he would hit up the Sake house he saw along the way and proceeded to it in a very Domon like fashion. Figuring he will stay there for a bit and then resume his search.

"Soldier Down" Bar and Resto...
Sapporo, Hokkaido...

The drinking went well, This old man right infront of him, seemed to be well endowed with knowledge, A true man. A father of men, like a shogun to his samurai. The guiding light, a man of proverbs and respect. Shinsui's respect soared high for the old man and gladly accepted the round, the man poured onto his Sake Plate. He then lifted the plate and bowed his head in reverence before drinking half of the round.

The man suddenly straightened up and ushered Kunagiri to go to the veranda with him, It was a beautiful place, Kunagiri was going to follow suit when he looked to the stage. And his eyes widened in Horror and pain. As if seeing a ghost.

Yes it was true, A ghost. A ghost from his past, that has haunted him for years and now has found him. The Stellar Cosplayer looked like a dear-ex of his. And the song while sang well, and in normal circumstances could send a person to Nirvana or yet tug their heartstrings. The song, seemed to stab him softly again and again. Like soft daggers piercing through, a bittersweet feeling accompanied by memories. Wanting to run away from the memory, He quickly stood up and stood behind the man.

Today seemed to be the day the past and the future collided for him, An Ex he's been trying to forget, and a girl he was falling for that was hurt by his rash action, the man continued to lecture on, His lecture was tragic. He was a walking tragedy and Shinsui felt for him. He took the jug and poured it on the Sake Plate and chugged it down to drown away the memories...the feeling.

He sat on the small stone next to where the stone where the Old man sat. He then looked up on the Round moon. On the beautiful night sky, riddled with a few fading fireworks. When he felt the Old man shove something into his arms, and gave a brief background about the music-box as it played.

Quote :: "My wife, she died two years ago. I was gonna give her this on the day she suffered a stroke. She never go to appreciate it. She loved Gundam Seed so much... and Gundam in general. You know, if there's somebody you care about, you give them the things that make them smile. Find your girl. Find your way.Here, take this..."

The sound song played by the music-box. The Dilemma he faced. And the sad story the man had. And his pure tears. They all came rushing at him, calling him. He bowed his head and even though he tried his best to hold it back. He cried unmeasured amount of tears came from his eyes that filled his cheeks. He couldn't stop. His Shoulders heaved. Everything went out and he couldn't hold it any longer.

"Mi...koto..." He muttered out as he cried, holding the music box.

Gundam Unicorn OST 2 Track 3 - "More...."

Boss Chief slid down from the high rock, and sat near Shinsui. He looked at the boy, who might as well could've been his own son. Even though he was completely unrelated to Shinsui, like a good father, he could feel the boy's pain. He poured another shot of sake in his cup and handed it to the weeping young lad. "And in the end, even if you lose someone, dear to you, it doesn't mean they're gone..." Boss Chief pointed his finger at Shinsui's chest.

"Yo, it's perfectly okay to cry, once in a while. It's not shameful to cry because you're a man. Crying because you care is an entirely different matter. I don't trust anyone who never cries. That's my philosophy..." said Boss Chief, as he gazed up the moon. He stood up and clapped his hands.

"I suppose there's no reason for you to stay here any longer. Now go, and find her. Whoever she is... I am sure she's just waiting for you to run after her. You know how women are... and don't be afraid to cry in front of her. Show your true feelings. Now go, boy, no... you're now a man." Boss Chief's parting words to Shinsui were...

Kisu arrived with his new buddies at the Sake house The Soldier down Bar and Restaurant. As he walked in he heard the mellow music and as he took a seat he ordered a whole bottle of sake and a few cups looking at Leon he asked "So where should we sit to enjoy this nice hot Sake?" Kisu asked as he pointed around the shop and to a door leading to an outside drinking area. Standing there waiting for Leon to pick a place to sit he handed Leon a cup and began pouring drinks. Gulping down the first shot as quickly as possible he felt the initial burning in his throat and smiled "Wow this stuff has a great kick"

Charles walked into the Soldier Down Bar with his head down, having seen Kisu as he entered he decided to try and hide it was him as best as he could to surprise him later. He saw some familiar faces from before as well as he went to a booth and sat down.

Leon sat down, and downed the sake in one gulp.

"Good stuff, thanks."

He says with a grin, as he proceedes to pour himself another cup of Sake. Before Long, Leon is quite drunk.

"Heh, really good stuff *Hick."

He says with a funny look on his face.

"Soldier Down" Bar and Resto...

With a smile Kisu said "lets head out on the veranda it is to crowded in here" Kisu said after his third shot of sake. With a smile he walked out side sitting down setting his bottle on one of the small drink tables and gulping down a fourth cup of Sake. As he felt the bottle he realized he would need another bottle or two.

After ordering two more bottles from a passing server he, in a moment of bravado poured Leon another cup of sake and called out in a large voice "WELL LETS GIVE A TOAST TO SAPPORO, THIS SAKE HOUSE AND TO GUNPLA BATTLING!!!" and then Kisu downed one of the full bottles of sake in about twelve seconds.

Charles seeing his friend may be going overboard placed his hand on his shoulder and took the other bottle from him. "While nothing can warm a man's spirit on such a cold night quiet like Sake, for the battles to come it is best not to get carried away. After all no one wants to fight a guy who is still wore out from the night before"

Houkiboshi Plamo store...

Partly charmed by Charlie's handsome performance, Natsume listened to his song. After it was over, she went to check Houkiboshi Plamo to see how it fares against her shop and Red Comet.

Houkiboshi was a moderate-sized store, but it had a couple more Gunpla Battler Machines than Hana Ban Ban Cafe. While it wasn't near Boss Factor in terms of number, the machines here look better, painted better and had Gundam Wing styled cockpits instead of the UC ones at Hana Ban Ban.

To Natsu's surprise, Mikoto and Jeremy were shown on the big screen, participating in a two on two against a Hydra and an Epyon. She watched them for a while, but when she heard what Jin had to say about Bandai, she felt offended.

"Shopkeeper's privilege please..." said Natsume, showing the certified Hana Ban Ban license she possessed to the Houkiboshi owner. The owner gave her a nod. "Good to see a shopkeeper from Tokyo. You're granted permission..."

"Thank you," said Natsume. Plugging in her Kshatriya to a machine, she invaded the 2 on 2 network and appeared as a Yellow Team player, a third party.

(Guys in the 2 on 2 thread, get ready because I am appearing in the next round. My turn takes place after Jin and Serp's)

Gundam Unicorn OST 2 Track 11 - OYM-PF

(PS Thanks to Serp for this wonderful OST suggestion, You're the man Bro.)

Shinsui cried, for everything. But especially for his soul. That was in pieces--Though his soul was saved, lifted up by the wise man infront of him. His words lifted the spirit of a lost man. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. The time for tears were over. He had his fill, now he must focus on the present and the future. He must focus on Mikoto. He musn't lose her.

What the man said was right. He must Find his way, Force open a path. He must reach Mikoto no matter what. He had to try atleast, no matter how many pains he had already, A future with her--now that ain't half-bad isn't it? He was now a man as the man said. And now he must act it, If he were to let this conversation serve it's purpose. He must live up to it.

Shinsui stood up, with renewed determination, spirit and Goal. He looked Boss Chief in the eye, dead straight. But it didn't show any arrogance or impudence. But rather growth,strength and respect for his "Sensei". Straightening up he bowed.

"Thank you very much Sensei..." He said with calm gratitude in his voice and then turned around to leave when he stopped and looked at the moon once more and then spoke.

"If your Son was alive. I know he'd thank you more than I could...I bet...your family is very proud of you and watching you right now...I know I can't replace them or your son, But if you need a drinking buddy, I'll be there. That's the least I can do for you...Sensei"

Without another word, Kunagiri ran out the Bar and back outside the flocks of people and the white snow that seem to cover the entire city. Searching for Mikoto left and right, Asking people here and there, while giving almost vivid descriptions of Mikoto, until one gave him a good enough place.

The Gunpla Shop Houki Boshi. Kunagiri rushed there, the automatic doors opening for him, Only to find mikoto locked in battle with what seemed to be a man of immense influence. He heard a few quirps from the man. Obviously He had a large hatred for bandai. He wanted to join the fray, but couldn't. He clenched his fist, Until a familiar face came at the counter. It was Natsume the owner of Hana Ban Ban Cafe who sent them here. He heard she wanted and she can join the fight. Ah such luck.

"Ms. Natsume! Wait! Let me join...Please."
