PART C: "Calm Before the Storm"

Boss Factor Gunpla Shop...
Sapporo Hokkaido...


"Rival? Heh. Define rival. Rivals aren't just assigned by someone. There has to be, fate's interference. Like how stars cross and rivers run dry. Sadly, the way I see it, my precious daughter does not see a rival in you. A stepping stone perhaps..." the elder Ichimonji told Charlie. "You have... a ways to go."

Mr. Ichimonji left the two. He fixed his eyes on the screen, that match between Tallgeese III and the red SUMO. "Boss Chief... you're a true legend. Show them, what it means to grasp a dream."

Mikoto yawned. "If you really want to give me the money back, why don't you... see me tonight? There'll be a Winter Festival, and cosplayers are highly encouraged to come. You look like you're a Final Fantasy fan, and to be fair you do look like the character you're representing. I'll be there in my, special costume as well..." the Meister invited Shinsui Kunagiri.

"So, keep the money for the meantime. If you wish to spend it, go ahead. I'm not expecting it back anyhoo..." she sexily winked, putting her hands on her waist.

Mikoto was about to tell him her name, but she was afraid of the effect it would have on the crowd. However, she didn't want to lie to this guy. So instead, she took out a small piece of paper and a pen. She scribbled down her name in the smallest size readable.

Quote :

"Mikoto Aizawa"

"Sssssh! Don't want to stir up the waters..." she motioned to Shinsui. "Okay, let's meet at 8:00 PM. After dinner, that'd be the best time. Don't forget to bring your costume!" she gleefully said, blushing in front of Shinsui. Mikoto glanced at her watch. "I have to be somewhere else by 2:00 PM..."

With those words from her father Charles smirked, "Well Sir I suppose we shall see about that" Charlie turned to Natsume, "I challenge you to a battle Natsume, what do you say?" Charles was pumped up feeling that Natsume's fathers words were a challenge of his honor.

"You can consider it a warm up for the team training you wanted to do later, and it will be a good chance for us to observe one another in the heat of battle!"

"Sorry Charlie, maybe another time. We got to prepare our players for the coming events. Go and train your prospects. In the meantime, I am going to watch my trainee, Kenji Miamoto. I have high hopes for him. And I wish he beats the crap out of that Freedom Gundam's pilot. What a cocky snot..." Natsume said to Charlie. She was not fond of Javier and his arrogant antics.

Charles was too pumped up to be denied a battle and so he looked around the room for what he considered to be a worthy opponent. Eventually after scanning the store he found his target, and approached him.

"I just saw your battle against the fatso. Way to beat a harsh map for the unicorn, but I'd prefer to see it in battle against my reborns. Where it can finally use its power and beam weapons to their fullest. What do you say?"

He raises up his fist Domon Kasshu style to show how enthused he was for the possibility of a good battle after his honor and pride were challenged. "To make it interesting. How about if I win you join my Hokkaido training team and if you win I give you a free Destroy mode model from my shop so you can replace that V-fin and have some back up parts."

Javier's Gunpla Battle seat opened, exposing him to the outside world. At last, a breath of fresh air. He was hugging his Real Grade Freedom Gundam, still sitting on the simulator chair. He felt fulfilled. "Hahahaha! Finally, my revenge, complete! See how you like your own filth, Blue Destiny!" he told himself. He didn't pay attention to Kenji's congratulatory words. "THE KING OF GUNPLA! DOES IT AGAIN! NOBODY CAN DEFEAT ME! I AM THE BEST! I DEFEATED THE SHAMBALLOO! AND NOW THE BLUE DEN-SITY! HURRRRRAAAH!" he screamed proudly, announcing his sweet victory. He unzipped his Kira Yamato pilot suit, took off his helmet and alighted from the seat.

He saw a beautiful chick standing near Shinsui Kunagiri. He knows he had seen her somewhere. It was Mikoto Aizawa. Quickly he put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "Hey you're the Tokyo Cup runner up, that Puss Gundam pilot! How about you and me hook up tonight at the festival? I'm Javier Dela Vega and I am the King of Gunpla!" he told her.

Mr. Ichimonji wanted to enjoy the games, but then this noisy, blabbermouth Javier comes out of a capsule and began proclaiming his cheap victory. Mr. Ichimonji was gonna let it pass, but Javier walked past him, and the arrogant fool took a girl into his hands. If Javier did that to Natsume, Ichimonji would rip that boy to shreds. And even though Mikoto wasn't his daughter he hated seeing rowdy fratboys like this.

"Mikoto Aizawa? The Gunpla Meister?" Mr. Ichimonji realised. He moved in and separated Javier from Mikoto. "Hey, I don't know who the hell you are, but this is my friend's shop, not a place for you to act like an idiot! Get your ass out of here before I turn you into a bloody pulp!" Mr. Ichimonji warned Javier. He rolled up his sleeves to show the foreigner that he was serious.

Boss Factor Gunpla Shop (Dec,22)...
Sapporo Hokkaido...

It has been almost a day and a couple of hours since he first read the note on the door of the HBB saying that the owners were traveling to Sapporo and also stated a call to potential Gunpla builders to attend some sort of training camp at a well known Gunpla store called, "Boss Factor". Daniel remembered that name before from a mag but has never been there before, which was one of his reasons of coming here and seeing everyone and witness for himself the long history of Boss Factor.


Wearing his winter overcoat and on his back was his case like backpack that held contained his main gunpla, "Delta Plus". Before entering the Boss Factor Shop, he stomped the snow off his shoes and then proceeded inside. What he found was activity, gunpla builders were around and even the HBB owner and Natsume were present. It was a sight to behold, but he kept an eye out for potential opponents that might try to battle him. For the time being, he just browsed around the shop....

Javier was having a great time touching Mikoto until an old man interrupted his advances. He didn't like interruptions, no. Especially when he is talking to a beautiful lady. He placed his Freedom Gundam on a nearby table, and went back to confront Mr. Ichimonji. "Hey old fart, I don't give a damn who you are. You're rude! Can't you see I'm talking to a lady? You'd better pack your geriatric ass and amble your way out of this shop before I throw you in the waste can."

Javier shoved Mr. Ichimonji aside. "You wanna fight, old fart? I am not gonna back down! Never gonna back down! I am the King of Gunpla, you hear!?" he bellowed, temporarily getting everyone in the shop to look at him. "You don't mess with Javier you stupid Japs!"

He got out of the Machine and changed back into his old clothes. He wasn't sad or upset about his loss, but knew he still had room for improvement. He walked out of the changing room with a smile on his face, having fought a satifying battle. He wanted to thank Javier for the good match up, but saw he was up to his old antics. He was trying to put the moves on a girl at the counter, but that was Javier for you. ("*sigh*, he'll never change.") Kenji then took a seat to watch the remaining battles, waiting for anyone else that was interested in a battle. Suddenely, Natsume's father, Mr. Ichimonji showed up and broke the two apart. He gave him an ear full threatened to beat up if he didn't leave. ("Boy, he's really done it now.") Javier didn't like being yelled at, so he threatened Mr. Ichimonji in retort. ("Okay, now he's taking this a little too far.") Then someone pulled the girl towards himself and told the old man to let him handle it. The man challenged Javier to a Gunpla Battle. But Mr. Ichimonji was steamed and wanted to fight Javier. (Oh boy, this won't end well.) The old man threw the first punch, hitting Javier's face. Then Javier Headbutted Mr. Ichimoji pretty hard. He sat in his seat, watching the fight go down while holding on to Blue tightly.

Javier's HP: 40/50

Javier was hit square in the nose. He felt something warm trickling down his mouth. He wiped it off with his hand, only to find out it was blood. "Fucking old man! So you want to do this the good old way huh?" he said, spitting in Mr. Ichimonji's face. He stepped forward and cocked his head back, aiming to headbutt the elder's teeth off.

"FUCK YOU OLD MAN!" he said as he sprang forward, using his head as a weapon, aimed at Mr. Ichimonji's mouth.

"You're not so bad after all! Phhfft!" said Mr. Ichimonji, spitting a tooth out. He motioned everyone to stay out of it. "Go home boy, your mother's probably looking for you!" he said, as he bobbed and weaved like a boxer. He closed in on the young gai-jin and looked to land an elbow attack on Javier's solar plexus.

"Old turd! Bweagh!" Javier staggered due to Ichimonji's elbow attack. He dropped to his knees of the floor, taking in all of that pain. For a moment, he couldn't breathe, as if his diaphraghm was crushed. Slowly he rose up and grabbed a chair. "Good try but can you handle a wooden chair, you senile piece of shit!?" Angrily he swung the chair at Mr. Ichimonji's chest.
