You decide to let her sleep in for a bit. Plus, that meant you got dibs on the bathroom anyways. You gingerly step over her sleeping form and quietly glide over to the bathroom, making sure to close the door as softly as possible. You then proceed to perform your regular morning rituals. Brushing your teeth, a quick shower, and getting your unruly hair under control.

Now cleaned up and ready for the day, you open the door and see that the sleeping bag is empty.

"So, Jack."

You turn around to see Holly standing at door, staring at you suspiciously.

"Morning, Holly." You say, attempting to sound nonchalant. "Where's Charlotte."

"In my bathroom." Holly says simply., still glaring at you. "So... she slept in your room, huh?"

"Yeah, she did." You shrug. "What of it?"

In an instant, Holly shoots past you and tears your blanket off your bed as she inspects the covers.

"Hmmmm, not on the bed. Then again, that doesn't preclude having done it somewhere less conspicuous."

"Okay, that's it, Holly." You grab her by the shoulders and physically drag her back to the door. "OUT."

Holly sticks her tongue out at you right as you slam the door shut. Goddamn she could be so annoying sometimes.

And wait a minute, should a middle schooler really know about this stuff?

Before you could contemplate that though further, you hear a knock at the door. You're about to tell Holly to bugger off when you hear Charlotte speak.

"Hey, Jack, is it okay to come in?" She asks.

"Um, yeah." You quickly open the door again and Charlotte nervously steps in. As she walks past you catch a whiff of Holly's strawberry-scented shampoo.

"You weren't kidding when you said Holly loved Balls." Charlotte chuckled as she rolled up the sleeping bag. "I got a better look at them and there's just so many!"

"Yeah, I'm not sure how she can sleep at night with all those things staring at her."

You both laugh as you grab your school bag, which prompts you to ask, "Hey, what are you going to do about your school stuff?"

"Oh, don't worry about it." Charlotte shrugs. "I already called my driver. He'll drop my bag off at the school when I get there."

"You have a personal driver?" You frown.

"Hey, if my parents are super rich, you can sure as hell bet I'm going to take advantage of it!" Charlotte chuckles.

Must. Fight. Jealousy.

The both of you and Holly head down the stairs to the kitchen, where you see Mom preparing breakfast. Nothing too special, just some toast and hard boiled eggs. The three of you quickly finish up your breakfast and start to leave when Mom stops you.

"Oh right, this is from your father." Mom hands you a small envelope. You open it as you head to the front door.

"Hey! Jack! Were you top or bottom last night?!" Mac yells.

Your history book slams into his chest with a loud and satisfying WHUMP.

"Okay, I'll shut up now." Mac wheezes, clutching his chest.

"I see Mac sad something he shouldn't have... again." Lucina sigh as she walks up. She then blinks when she sees Charlotte with you and waves. "Oh, hi Charlotte. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Um, hi Lucina." Charlotte waves back a bit awkwardly.

"She slept over last night, in the same room as Jack!" Holly butts in.

Goddamnit, Holly.

"So? Me and Jack do that all the time." Lucina says, a bit confused.

"Come on guys, let's start heading for school." You say, urging them on.

As you all head for school, you all start talking about the recent round of Gunpla battle qualifiers yesterday. Apparently, Lucina had also been keeping up with it online, and saw most of the fights.

"I have to say, Charlotte, that was a pretty impressive move." Lucina said. "I would've expected you to resort to your heat axes to finish it off."

"Eh, I figured I'd go for the least armored part." Charlotte shrugged. "Besides, a guy who rolls Devil Gundam can't be that good."

"Oooh, laying down the trash talk already." Mac laughs.

"Though I wonder. It seems that the web is already predicting that the American finals will be coming down between you and Greco Logan." Lucina points out.

"Ooooh, that would be cool." Charlotte grinned.

"So who would win?" Holly asks.

"Sorry, I gotta go with my man Greco." Mac nods. "That Tallgeese Valkyrie is beastly!"

"I think Charlotte will have the edge. Greco's good in the qualifiers, but he hasn't had a good track record of making it to the preliminary rounds." Lucina shrugs.

"Well, Charlotte of course." You say proudly. "No contest."

Mac shoots you a sly look that you try to ignore. Charlotte sighs but smiles shortly afterward, and Lucina just nods in agreement. Eventually, you finally reach the school grounds. Holly splits off to head for her own school while you head to the front gate. And, as Charlotte said, her driver was waiting for her. While he thankfully didn't come in anything as conspicuous as a limousine or anything, the very shiny, very black, very expensive European car sitting on the curb still drew curious looks. Charlotte was almost too embarrassed to walk up to grab her school bag.

Afterwards, it was business as usual. However, you heard a lot more students suddenly greeting you, and knowing your name. Not many, but enough for you to notice. You guess your reputation was starting to grow, or something.

Finally, lunch period rolls around and you head for your team room, where everybody quickly gathers.

"Ah, Jack, you're here." Karen nods as your arrival. "We've got a busy day ahead of us."

"What, we got challenged or something?" You joke.

"Actually, yes." Karen nods. "Five challenges, in fact."

"W-what." You blink.

"Three higher ranking teams and two lower ranking ones." Karen continues. "I suspect Kenneth may have had a hand behind it. Fortunately, since we have multiple challenges, that gives me cause to drop the lower rank ones and focus on the higher ones."

"Which ones are we talking about here?" You ask.

"The Olympians, who are #7, the Silver Wings, who are #5, and Noscope, who are #4." Karen says. "In general, the Olympians use G Gundam Gunpla and specialize in close combat. Silver Wing uses Wing Gundam Gunpla and are generally all rounders. Noscope usually uses long range sniper units and focus on ranged combat."

"Guys, what do you think?" You ask, turning to the rest of the team.

"I don't do close combat, and I don't like flying suits." Jake frowns. "I'd rather go up against Noscope. Nothing like some good old fashioned artillery to flush a sniper out of his hiding spot."

"Honestly, I'm fine with anything!" Amy smiles. "Though I do kinda want to go up against Silver Wing, to show that Deathscythe is the best!"

"Olympians, of course!" Mac grins. "Gotta show them the power of SUPER MAXTER!"

"I too don't really mind who we fight." Lucina shrugs. "But if Noscope is the higher ranking team, I'd rather fight them so we can get closer to the top."

"I have no opinion either way." Karen smiles and looks to you. "Well? What would you suggest?"

so against noscope, what do we need?

I suggest we get the camo cloak and the anti beam coating on our mech so that we can move more stealthily.

>>33664760
If we are going against the snipers, I think we should somehow get a laser designator for precision shelling. It can also be useful for allies if they have weapons that can penetrate obstacles as well since they don't need direct sight.

>>33664760
to be honest I think installing radars on our Balls will also be helpful.

I wonder if we can get conversions on them but I really want those radars

Guys! We need smokescreens! Get in close! Like the ones that shoot up and deploy downwards! They are tiny but do a lot. Can't kill you if they can't see you. But we can just let the TUSKER go to work.

"Hm, I guess we'll go for Noscope." You say. "If we beat them, that puts us in the top four, right?"

"Indeed it does." Karen nods. "However, they didn't get that rank by doing nothing. They will most likely be a very dangerous team."

"Well, what kind of Gunpla do they use?"

"Mostly sniper types." Karen shrugs. "GM Sniper, Dynames, maybe even a Zaku sniper or something more exotic. But you'll have to expect to face hard hitting, long range firepower."

"Still, it'd be good to have something more exact." You frown.

"We could always ask people." Amy suggests.

TBH, I'd prefer we'd use the Juggler in the match. We need time to practice using a new suit.

>>33665394
Says you. If the majority votes for not building a new suit, then okay, I'll shut up.

>>33665317
Changing mine to >>33665328

>>33665421
theres also that if we get the jesta, we will probably be triggering the trans-am.

leaving it for the 4 way would make that a nice trump card.

>>33665421
It depends on when the match is going to be, if we have enough time to practice them I'm all for converting the Juggler today

>>33665421
Do you think there might be ball conversions?

>>33665398
>Kit will be 4500, since most suggestions will be for the jesta.
Yeah I couldn't remember the kit cost was so err on the side of caution on that.

Either way.

>>33665431
I'm with everyone else saying no to new fucking suit. Christ. Waste of damn time and money. Every damn thread somebody has to bring up this bullshit. We need to keep pushing our current ride higher up and building a new one, trying to get it up to level, then getting both suits beyond that. It's just not cost effective. Fuck.

They probably do exist.

This is the late UC Ball.

Look at that triple mount on the top hard point.

>>33665500
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RB-79F_Ball_Type_F

I prefer this mostly for the fact, we can get an extra point on out armor and speed rating.

Also the mine type as well but coverting the mines into missile launchers

So guys, what do we need to do to get the GM Juggler to this level of "Oh god with the Bits"? Fin Funnels are, in spite of the name, technically Bits, as they have their own onboard power source.

>>33665559

Well the Model 133 is a F91/Crossbone late UC ball.

It probably benefits from a better reactor, improved armour and construction.

Also it provides more dakka which is what our balls need. More mounts for guns.

>>33665583
I think by turning our Balls into hard hitting weapons platforms

I love the Juggler system

>>33665499
Yeah, and then if the damn thing gets totaled during a fight, we're fucked. What I'm saying is it would be good to have more options, and not just the Juggler. No need to get so pissed off about it, geez.

>>33665583

Additional Juggler system to field up to four balls.

4 of them will give anyone pause.

>>33665583

Sub-AI systems mounted on the Ball units, would be my guess. It might be possible for them to command their own funnels (or act as a sort of relay hub). Failing that, it may also be possible to turn them into compact Virgo-II suits with the right upgrades.

HOLY SHIT I JUST HAD A THOUGHT.

What if we got a second set of balls, and converted them into a pair of mobile armories/ repair drones?

We could act as a kind of FARP for our entire team!

>>33665600
Maybe? but it doesn't give us much information on them, even in Crossbone the earth federation used massive amounts of budget cuts in military spending.

I mean I think I still saw GMs in some panels in the final fights.

I mean it looks not much different then the K-type we have now with the duel auto cannons

>>33665610
So when are we gonna build "Ball X", equipped with a Satellite Beam Cannon?
>>33665629
But can we get up to twelve?

>>33665655

I want to put planet defensors on our balls.

The butthurt from that defensive capability will be glorious

>>33665682
>Highly mobile shields of pure fuck your shit

I kinda like this idea

>>33665621
>Yeah, and then if the damn thing gets totaled during a fight, we're fucked.

Yeah you see that argument right there is shit. Why? Because Jake's got his totaled with the ammo rack cooking off. Guess what? A few days of fixing and it was ready to go again.

Options come parts and weapons. We have a basic Suit that fits many rolls and can you use many weapons because of it. Focus on that.

>>33665679
>But can we get up to twelve?

I don't think so

>>33665746
Except if we get to the world tournament we won't have days to repair. We'll have a matter of hours. Maybe less.

>>33665661
Ya but then we're sol if we get caught in combat since we will have shifted to team medic.

>>33665770

Did you watch the show?

Every event/match had a rest day for the combatants immediately afterwards.

>>33665770
You do realize if got that fucked we lost... right? We wouldn't be needing to worrying about that.

>>33665773
What's to stop us from just attaching a second juggler system?

Is it possible? Merc can we get away with that?

>>33665741
Just walk up deflecting sniper rounds like it ant no thing as jake keeps them locked down.

>>33665814

Unless they're the type that plays like the GM Sniper K-9.

Sniper units with loads of additional support running about fucking shit up.

I honestly think we should just straight up get a new kit. Preferably Kshatriya, Delta Kai or Nu, as they allow us to stick to the combat style we've already developed.

>>33665280
"Hey, Karen." You say, taking out some of your Bandai point cards. "I'm actually sitting on a bunch of Bandai Points right now, so I thought I'd donate some to the team."

"Oh, why thank you!" Karen grins. "I'll make sure these points go to good use."

>-2700 Bandai points

With that, lunch is over and you all split off to head to your respective classes. You catch Julian in the hall and wave him down.

"Hey! Jack! What's up?" Julian smiles.

"Hey Julian, I was wondering if you were willing to do some, uh, 'investigative journalism.'" You say.

"Oh, sounds exciting!" Julian's eyes widen. "What's the scoop?"

"You think you can dig up any info you can find on Team Noscope for me? You know, Gunpla, fighting style, the works?"

"Ah, the usual." Julian nods. "Oh, don't give me that look. The other teams do this all the time!"

"Spy on each other?"

"Duh. People gotta get an edge where they can get it, you know?" Julian nods. "That's why all the top fighters try to keep their best moves secret!"

"I guess." You nod. "So can you do it?"

"Sure can!" Julian nods. "For you guys, I think I can dig up the dirt on one of the suits they'll definitely use in the match. If you want more than that, there's gonna need to be an exchange..."

"Money?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Oh no, we got no use for that!" Julian shakes his head rapidly. "You know, quid pro quo. You want secrets from another team, you gotta be prepared to give me some of yours!"

>I'll just take the freebie.
>What would you take for two Gunpla?
>What would you take for three Gunpla?
>Other

>>33665328
This sounds good.

>>33665793
Yes, a single day, and in the show they only had to work on a single gunpla.

Our Balls are a major concern, they're separate Gunpla entities and take time to repair, especially with the modifications we've made.

We're basically fixing three gunpla in less than twenty four hours.

Best to have a backup, hell in the show they had a backup Gunpla for that very reason.

>>33665834
We have more fire power then the K-9. At least our Balls do. I kind of want to improve the AI if we can so it can improve their performance maybe get a kill.

I still have this image of a couple of Haros piloting our Balls though as the AI image

>>33665852

What does he want specifically? He wouldn't bring this up if he didn't have an idea already.

>>33665852
>I'll just take the freebie.

>>33665876
Wait wait wait. Guys. Guys. Planet Defensors mounted on the Balls. You know, the ones from the Mercurius.

>>33665876

Oh no, I'm not worried about the K-9's firepower and more their little models running around doing their damn gorilla war.

Those little army men would immediately go through the defensors and could pop the guntank.

>>33665858
They were sliced in half and we fixed them up with some super glue, wasn't that hard.

>I'll just take the freebie.

>>33665884
This as well.

Though to be honest sneaking with Lucina might have been better.

Not trying to start something but it might of.

>>33665852
What kind of things would he be asking for?
We don't want to give away secrets or systems if no one knows

>>33665852
>I'll just take the freebie.

Some basic Intel will do just fine. Nothing to loose our hard earned plastic over.

>>33665906
Eh, We've always been about offensive support. The Planet Defensors break the mold. The Armory idea I'm purporting is more in line since we're still supporting the team, just in a utilitarian mold combined with our offensive style.

We got lucky.

Suppose they took a sniper round to the chest and the ammunition in the balls cooked off, or worse the GN Drive went critical, we'd be putting them back together for a lot longer than if they got cut in half.

Better to play it safe than lose everything all at once.

>>33665987
.....We are a team as well if we can't support our team any longer then someone will take our place.

Also rather then spend points on a backup suit, why not spend it into making the suit we have now into something that won't be taken down so easily so that way we don't have to worry about it

>>33666035
I don't think we'll get anywhere as this story's readers are split apart on various ways, not to mention the impluse to buy new things.

>>33666035
You're not hearing me.

It's bad to let something like poor planning and resource management kill us and leave our team high and dry.

We're good, but we shouldn't coast by on our luck, and our balls.

A Backup is a sensible move it means we can recover from a failure rapidly and not screw our team.

Yes of course we should prioritize keeping our Juggler awesome and top of the line, but it's stupid to sink our entire budget into one suit.

>>33665935
But this isn't going to be a battle where we need offensive support. We're going to need to be defensive support.

To be perfectly honest I'm in for just straight up upgrading to a new kit. We've had Charlotte tell us that she had trouble with just using her Zaku when she started competing and we've had Greco call us ballsy for sticking with a GM in a competitive setting.
The Kshatriya or Delta Kai seem like good choices to continue doing what we're doing. The Providence could work well also, or we could go full Protagonist and grab a Nu Gundam.

I haven't put a lot of thought into stuff that could be used if we decided to just completely change our playstyle but this image makes me giggle so it might be worth a look.

>>33666113
Considering everyone else in our team has been sinking money into one suit and the only person within the team that has enough money to mange more than two is Char.

This whole team is sink or swim.

Can we scratch build a smoke screen system? I mean there are people pulling out completely BS palvsky hacks, so I think a few simple smoke grenades/deployment systems like the ones on tanks right now. Or we can actually rip them off Type 61 kits.

All this talk of stupidly effective defensive measures reminded me of something we might want to take into consideration.

>>33666117
We should keep our GM line mold but upgrade to something like a Jegan or Jesta, hell if we really want to go farther down the UC line we could get on of the League Militare's Shrike suits and fuck shit up.

Just want to pointing one thing; there will be a limit on how much our Juggler can perform no matter how many upgrade we slap on it. And when that day come, either we already proficient enough in gunpla to cover our weakness or get new unit.
But yeah, for now new unit kinda not needed.

>>33666117
Makes me wonder whatever happened to the guy who was doing all the weird arm stuff with his Gouf a while ago.

>>33666151
Then there's even more reason for us to have a backup suit.

If one of our teammates suffers catastrophic damage we can loan them our backup suit. Yes they'll be using a suit they're unfamiliar with but at least they won't be out of the fight.

http://pastebin.com/m0ymKmG0

Jesta Conversion Kit - 4000

Camo-Cloak - 200: A cloak that can be worn by a Gunpla that allows it to blend with its surrounding environment. However, it does not provide any additional protection.

Useful since we're dealing with snipers here. For our balls too, maybe, while they're scouting.


Missile Pod - 250: Carries up to six guided missiles which will automatically track their target once fired.

Suppression fire. With rockets we can flush out the enemy. Should be useful with one on each ball. Should be mountable on the back hardpoint so that that they still keep their current loadout.

Dual Band Radar - 200: Significantly increases a Gunpla's detection capabilities. (Internal Hardpoint Only)

On the balls to find the snipers.

4000+ 200 * 3 + 250 * 2 + 200 * 2 = 5500

"I'll just take the freebie." You sigh.

"Oh, okay then." Julian nods. "Well, since I like you so much, I might as well tell you their most powerful Gunpla! Well, not guarantee they'll actually USE it, but they definitely have it!"

"Just tell me the already."

"They got a Cherudim Gundam." Julian says, leaning in as if he was afraid someone were listening in.

"S2 version or movie version?"

"Movie version of course!" Julian nods rapidly. "Gotta always get the best, right?"

Well, that was alarming, but helpful information.

"Thanks, Julian." You say.

"No problem! If you need more info come back any time!"

The rest of the day seems to pass by in a flash, up until the final bell rings and students begin filing out. You wonder what you should do next.

This guy's got the right idea. A Jesta's going up our suits performance by a significant level, combine that with our balls getting a radar upgrade and the missiles so we can shell their asses, we'll nail those asshole in no time.

Fun fact: in SD Gundam Online, the general rule is that melee weapons beat long-range ones, which in turn beat mid-range things, which have an advantage over melee.
>>33666035
As I see it, there might be a situation in a tournament where the GM Juggler is at a complete tactical disadvantage, and a different Gunpla altogether could do much better. I'm not sure whether making upgrades mid-tournament was allowed or not, but using another suit altogether definitely was.

>>33666117
I feel the need to point out that Fellini still uses a Gunpla he built when he was a kid and has continually upgraded since then.

Just as a gundam fan, there isn't separate difference as there was no Cherudim in the Trailblazer movie, only the Dynames Repair and the Zanbaya, unless there's some other movie I don't know about.

>>33666255
And Fellini got his shit wrecked by Aila and basically rebuilt the Fenice from scratch into the Rinascita.

We do, and no not yet.

Not sure why though, Charlotte tossed one of our balls with the Countermeasure suite so no chance in that, Amy used head vulcans on one and sliced the cannons on another but that was done within eyesight.

We did, when we decided not to dump Beam Rifles and Radars on our Balls, we asked Holly to somewhat upgrade our AI, if they see something they will keep shooting until it is sure the enemy is dead


So what's our team configuration.

Our GM since radar and support.

Jake's Guntank to flush them out.

I'm leaning more toward Lucina or Amy for this fight.

Lucina can take on an enemy up close but can probably take a hit or two

Amy due to her sniper rifle

>>33666465
That too.

We're gonna need to have our balls scramble to deal with the GN Bits, while we take it on in a Trans-Am Spam off, all the while our teammates will have to deal with any other tricks the other team brings to the fight.

Worse yet we don't know what kind of mods they've done to this Cherudim, we could be dealing with some kind of abomination with a Trans-Am booster of even more bits.

Countermeasure Suite - 100: When in danger, the countermeasure suite can be activated, which deploys a combination of flares, smoke, sensor chaff, and anti-beam chaff. Can only be used twice in a battle. Does not take up a hardpoint.

Figured as much but the Zanbaya is one wicked suit considering while it can snipe some, it can all range fire and even BEAM SPAM with the best of them. If the pilot is like Lyle, it'll go double as it'll mean he's no stranger to close range combat.

In short it's the Juggler+Sniper+Roids

Our one hope is that the pilot isn't anywhere as good as Lyle.

We need to get to Char, we need her advice on how to deal with a Trailblazer suit.

truly sniper kids are insufferable.

>Jesta Conversion Kit - 4000
Only 500 more than the Jegan for an edge in performance.
>Anti-beam Coating - 1000: A special coating that can be applied on top of a Gunpla's existing armor which gives it increased resistance against beam attacks.
Always useful.
>Rocket Booster - 300: Adds an additional booster pack, increasing a Gunpla's speed. (Back Hardpoint Only)
Speed is good.
Save the rest towards a Juggler expansion.

Bring tank. No space map.

At least that's what I remember Merc saying how maps got picked at the start of the quest.

Could have changed since then.

>>33666742
You're a monster, Merc

I'm thinking we'll definitely need Char in on this battle.

>>33666717
Merc is the Hyperion Gundams Mono phase Lightwave Shield a thing? Could we have a look at that maybe?

>>33666742
Dear god. I just peed a little.

>>33666551
>Do you make any purchases?

Jesta Conversion Kit - 4000
Binary Rifle - 1300
Dual Band Radar - 200 x2 = 400
Camo-Cloak - 200 x3 = 600

Total = 6300 BP

I hope we get free grenades for the conversion to Jesta.
What's our current total budget now? Take away from the bottom-to-upwards if it's short.

This but add another beam rifle. if we're getting a new rifle, we can give the old one to the ball and return the autocannon back into it's original mount

>>33666742
Merc. Will we ever have conversions for our Balls as well?

SMOKE is the way to go. Even Type 61 managed to do something with it!
(that and it is pretty interesting)

And my point is when both suits are built to an equal level, and usage skill being equal, the better suit is going to win.

>>33666824
go to 2:20

Okay I've been thinking and I have an outline on how we crush this fucking nightmare of a suit.

We need to find a way to jam his bits and we need to arm enough flares on everyone so we can negate his missiles.

If we can do that he's just another AD Gundam, we can beat a regular AD Gundam.

>>33666820
All in due time.

>>33666551
Anyways, the consensus seems to be:

Jesta Conversion Kit
Anti-beam Coatingx1
Heat Knife
Camo-Cloakx3
Missile Podx2
Dual Band Radarx2

Which would come out to a total of 6550. Is this acceptable?

Can we add two camo cloaks?

Gifts for our teammates.

>>33666850
Yep. We're gonna need it.
