Characters and Gunpla: http://pastebin.com/e16JZdXs

You are JACK FOULKE, an amateur Gunpla Fighter with dreams to make your own mark on the Gunpla battle scene!

Currently, you're in a 3v3 battle with Team Noscope, a Gunpla battle team that exclusively used sniper type mobile suits. Both Charlotte and Lucina were engaging the Zabanya and Dynames respectively, while you were hunting for their GM Sniper, which had remained hidden throughout the match until it took a shot at you.

However, this GM Sniper didn't seem to be armed with a beam sniper rifle as was the standard. Instead, it seemed to be using some kind of high powered kinetic rifle. On the bright side, that mean that your armor could actually resist it. However, that made your beam hard counters like your Defender Ball's I-Field and your anti-beam chaff and coating essentially useless.

Also, that gun, whatever it was, hit HARD, hard enough to put a noticeable dent into your Chobham shield with a single shot.

You decided to close in on the GM Sniper's position to engage it in close combat. Your Dakka ball hung back to provide suppressing fire while your Defender Ball followed you in. Your sensors warned you of an energy buildup, meaning that the GM Sniper was probably preparing another shot.

You keep your shield raised and ready to take any incoming hits. Sure, that meant you really couldn't aim well and it slowed you down due to a combination of its weight and air resistance, but it was better than getting oneshot by that rifle that GM Sniper was packing.

Meanwhile, your Dakkaball hangs back and starts pumping autocannon fire into the forest, but it can't stop the next the shot.

You see the flash, but this close, you don't have time to react. The Defender Ball tries to interpose itself between you and shot, but the shooter apparently accounted for that. The bullet streaks past the Defender Ball and slams into your shield. You're not sure if it's some fluke or it was by design, but you see the round deflect off your shield and nail your Dakka Ball, and it explodes in a ball of flame.

Shit.

You glance at your radar, which managed to measure the speed, direction, and source of the shot, and you blanch when you see the velocity readings. Hypersonic speeds? That GM Sniper was packing a goddamn railgun!

Tossing away your shield, which was now structurally compromised, you mull your options. You're down a Ball and shield. You only have less than a second to decide.

That's because of the way the barrel disconnected. It just popped out to the side and slid right out. You slid the new one in, slapped it back to the center, pulled back, twisted, and it was on. But using that kind of barrel disconnect on a sniper rifle is a bad idea as it costs you accuracy.

You grimace and pour more energy into your thrusters. You were already committed, so you had no choice but to keep moving. Your Defender Ball hangs close to you, deploying its Planet Defensors into a wide field large enough to cover you. You fire your head vulcans and expend pop smoke, anything to throw off the sniper's aim.

You finally see it. The GM Sniper. Apparently, it decides to stand its ground and you can see the long barrel of its railgun raised in an effort to hit you before you can get too close. The barrel glows an ominous blue and you know you don't have much time.

Your optics momentarily shut off to protect you from the sudden glare. Even if your opponent had optic protection, that still meant there were a critical few seconds that they couldn't see, which was all you needed.

You drop down right in front of the GM Sniper's position, firing your beam rifle as you drop. However, the GM Sniper manages to barely stay one step ahead of you. It boosts backwards the moment the flashbangs go off, knocking down trees like toothpicks and battering its own armor in the process. The GM Sniper then slings its railgun and starts sprinting away from you, drawing a beam spray gun from a hip holster and firing wildly at you as it runs.

You take a deep breath to calm yourself down. You had the advantage in this position. The beam spray gun had crappy range, and even then, your Defender Ball's I-Field made sure the shots never hit you, anyways. You kneel down and take careful aim, centering the fleeing GM Sniper in your sights.

So, I was thinking about how our Defender Ball is a bit slow. Decently powerful, but I thought of a way that we could get both power and speed. It'd be a bit expensive, but it'd work.

Armor it with metal gubbins, or just get a die-cast Ball if possible. (Probably not, but still.) Don't bother with the weapons, because we can do better. We can do pic related.)

Call it a Wrecking Ball.

What if one were to construct a weapon, which gathers them up, concentrates them, and blasts them at the enemy. A "Plavsky Buster" if you will. Put it on a kitbash of Nu and Nobel for good measure.

You exhale, even though you know that didn't really affect your shot, and pull the trigger. The beam lances out and strikes the fleeing GM Sniper right in the waist. You can see the legs lose power and the entire machine topples to the ground. You almost turn away when you notice that the GM Sniper is still moving.

It feels kinda cheap, but in a game like this, you always had to make sure the kill was certain. You pump several more beam shots into the fallen GM Sniper until you're absolutely sure it's down.

"Charlotte, Lucina, I got their third person." You announce. "How are you two doing?"

"Still trying to catch this Dynames." Lucina grunts. "Those dual pistols of his make it hard to get close."

"Managing with the Zabanya." Charlotte says, her voice fraught with concentration "Got a couple of his rifle bits down, but I'm mostly just dodging his beamspam at this point."

Well, it seems like they were handling themselves fairly well.

It's then that you see a gleam of metal in the GM Sniper's wreckage. Maybe the rifle was still intact...?

You trudge forward towards the fallen GM Sniper. Your Defender Ball takes point, in case there were any nasty booby traps left behind. While fighters normally wouldn't use their enemy's weapons, there actually wasn't any sort of rule against it, and with a goddamn RAILGUN at your fingertips, there was no way you could resist.

Unfortunately, when you pry the rifle out of the fallen GM Sniper's arm, you notice there's some slight damage. You frown ,and hope that it's merely cosmetic.

You wince as you examine the railgun. Apparently, one of your beam shots grazed the rifle, melting some the casing and damaging the components inside. From what you could tell, the battery pack was basically gone. The capacitors looked intact and charged, so you're sure the rifle is good for at least one more shot.

You sigh and gently set the rifle back down. While you were tempted, the risk was too great for potentially little gain. Such a waste of a good rifle. You check your sensors again. They're starting to get fuzzy from all the GN particles the Zabanya, Dynames, and Exia were generating, so you don't have a clear idea of what's going on. You switch to visual sensors, and see the Dynames and Exia dancing in the air as they try to jockey for position. Meanwhile, the Zabanya was pouring beam fire wildly into the trees below, prevented from being able to assists its partner thanks to well timed heavy beam shots and machine gun fire from Charlotte.

I wonder if Char can pull off some trick shots, like bouncing solid rounds off the Def-Ball's armor or making beams curve around the I-Field it generates, and still make those shots land?

You order your Defender Ball to move to back up Charlotte. Its I-Field would be indispensable to warding off the beams from those bits. Meanwhile, you vector in towards where Lucina is engaging the Dynames. You approach from the cover the trees so they can't see you. You see your Defender reach Charlotte's position, where it plants itself over Charlotte and engages its Defensors and I-Field, easily batting away the pink beams the Zabanya is shooting. This give Charlotte breathing room to actually aim her cannon ,and she nails a rifle bit.

You finally reach a position right under Lucina and her opponent, and you look, contemplating what to do.

If the Dynames tries to go on a sniper mode tunnel vision, one of us can blindside it.
If it's down to pistols, we can still outrange and overpower it.
If it goes down to a knife fight, Lucina packs bigger, sharper and a lot more blades.

Dynames going Trans-Am is pretty much the final outcome I can foresee happening.

You quietly raise your beam rifle and take aim. The Dynames is dancing around quite a lot, making it a difficult target. Not to mention, you have to be careful not to hit Lucina, either. You grit your teeth and concentrate, trying to predict where the Dynames will juke to next...

You fire you beam rifle, but scowl when your realize you only grazed the Dynames' shoulder. The Dynames pauses in the air for a second before cutting thrusters and dropping the ground as a defensive measure, barely dodging a horizontal slash from Lucina that would have taken off its head if she had been just a bit faster.

However, now that it was in the trees, the Dynames lost a huge chunk of its maneuverability advantage.

Are we really gonna have this argument again?

You decide to go after the Dynames, trudging through the trees and knocking them down as you go. Likewise, Lucina drops down to the ground to prevent herself from being made a target and she starts slicing her way through the trees as if her beam saber were a machete. You can see the top of the Dynames' head just ahead as he desperately tries to gain some distance between you and Lucina.

Meanwhile, in the background, you continue to see the Zabanya and Charlotte trading beam fire. Your Defender Ball lives up to its name, continually deflecting beam shots away from Charlotte, but you know that it's got its limits. Even with the infinite energy the GN Drive provides, the I-Field and Defensors were power hungry systems and they would drain the Ball's reserves faster than the GN Drive can fill them.

You continue on, knocking trees aside with one hand and hacking away at others with your beam saber in an effort to catch up.

And by some stroke of luck, you hack away at some trees and get a clear view of the Dynames. The enemy mobile suit realizes it's been caught and spins around, raising its twin beam pistols to fire at you.

Well, you still got your anti-beam coating and some anti-beam chaff left. It'd be pretty easy to fight him in these conditions, but you wonder if you should save them for the Zabanya instead.

It wasn't much of a contest, really. The relatively piddly beam pistols uselessly plink off your anti-beam coated armor like rubber pellets. The Jesta was made out of pretty tough stuff, after all.

However, the same could not be said for the Dynames. You drill three shots center of mass, sending the Dynames stumbling back. Lucina then swoops in, finishing the job by slicing its head clean off.

"Good job." Lucina says.

"You stole my kill." You pout.

"We're all on the same team, aren't we?" Lucina says simply.

Man...

You see that the battle between the Zabanya and Charlotte was still going strong. The Zabanya was down to half its bits, while Charlotte's Crimson Zulu had quite a few beam scorches and partially melted armor. The Defender was still up, but you weren't sure for how long. The Defensors were already out of energy but at least the I-Field was still up.

"Come on, Lucina, let's go bag us a Zabanya." You say, spinning your Jesta around to head for the last engagement.

"All right." Lucina's Exia falls into line behind you. "Plan of attack?"

"We shoot it until it stops moving." You shrug.

"Anything more specific?" Lucina sighs.

"Well take out what's left of the bits." You explain. "Without them the Zabanya's just like any other mobile suit."

Up above, you could see the Zabanya trying to root out Charlotte. Now that you were closer, you could see that the pilot's bit control wasn't really that precise. All the rifle bits could only seem to shoot at the same target, which was how the Defender was able to keep Charlotte so effectively protected. You frown, since the bits' advantage would be getting around a enemy's defenses to hit them from behind.

Well, not like you were complaining.

Both you and Lucina aim in the sky with your respective weapons. You with your beam rifle and head vulcans, and Lucina with her beam pistol. Your weapons wouldn't be too effective against Zabanya's shield bits, which was kinda the point, but the rifle bits, with deployed, were vulnerable to attack.

Between you and Lucina and Charlotte, you manage to pretty much down all of the Zabanya's remaining rifle bits. Realizing that it's surrounded, the Zabanya pulls back its shield bits closer to itself to form a somewhat protective barrier. It takes out its dual sniper rifles and starts firing wildly.

"Lucina, let's go!" You yell, powering your boosters and breaking the treeline.

Your Defender Ball hits hard and true, the big lump of Chobham armor smashes into the Zabanya's shield wall and scatters its shield bits in all directions. However, it doesn't stop there and its momentum carries it straight into the Zabanya, knocking it back and causing it to spin in the air.

You see your chance. The Zabanya was vulnerable and stunned, giving the perfect opening.

You know why people hoard vacuum tube receivers, amplifiers, and general stereo equipment?

Nothing else sounds like 'em. They're unique in a land of solid state, and that makes them valuable for the effect they have on sound.

Also, vacuum tube equipment is actually serviceable unlike most solid state stuff. Once it burns out or burns down, the unit is junk. You can a vacuum tube amp going until the heat death of the universe. My solid state Onkyo receiver will be lucky to survive until 2018.

ehh....

kind of sort of. vac tubes, like the units themselves, generally don't care about EMPs or anything, but they're not immune.

Also the fact that they're still plugged into a wall (outlet) means that even if the EMP doesn't fry the unit itself, chances are the incoming power surge will (unless you're hooked up to some sort of surge protector or w/e).

tl;dr: more resistant than solid state, maybe, but I would rather have it powered off and unplugged than risk it. Did you know vacuum tubes actually implode due to the, well, vacuum? Wouldn't want my eyes or hands anywhere near that.

The Zabanya attempts to defend itself, but without its bits and surrounded on three sides by hostile mobile suits, it simply didn't have a chance. You manage to slash off one of its arms while Lucina takes the other. However, it's Charlotte that get's the last shot in. Her Crimson Zulu's right arm glows blue as it impacts the Zabanya's chest, literally causing its entire torso to explode outward.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlOoIMd9524

Behind you, you could hear the crowd wince as the Zabanya is utterly pulverized.

"Congratulations!" The judge says happily as he applauds your victory. "That was a magnificent Gunpla battle!"

I agree with this sentiment. It's easier to bring competitors down to our playing field than catching up with their Plavsky hax with nothing but more Balls.

You, Charlotte, and Lucina head over to meet Noscope, as we customary. You see two of the team members, their name tags identifying them as Seth and Neil, glumly return your handshakes. The obviously weren't happy with the way the battle turned out. The third team member, a short, bespectacled freshman girl, shakes your hand with a little more enthusiasm. You see her nametag revealing her name was Rebecca.

"That was a good game." She says. "I wasn't expecting a Ball totally dedicated to defense."

"You weren't so bad yourself." You nod.

Not really that out of place. Their plan was basically inverse Wild Weasel, with two popping up to draw fire, while the third kills what tries to shoot at them.

Well if you were recruited into a supposedly sniping team only to learn that your teammates' idea of sniping is cowadoody shit, you'd want out too. But she likes to battle, so before now she didn't have an out.

"So, Rebecca." You say, pointing to her GM Sniper in her hands."I was pretty surprised you went with a nonstandard rifle. A freaking railgun. Why swap it out with the regular beam weapon? You could've easily punched through my Chobham shield otherwise."

"Well..." Rebecca shrugs. "Beams seem too easy to hard counter, as was evidenced by your Ball's I-Field and your anti-beam chaff. A kinetic weapon doesn't have to worry about any of those. The only concern is to fire a powerful enough shot that it wouldn't care that much about armor anyways."

"So a railgun."

"Yep." Rebecca nods and smiles. "Made it myself, actually. Capable of firing a slug at Mach 10, but that's at full power and usually not recommended."

"Pretty nice." You grin. "And one more thing. I kinda noticed that you were the only person on your team that, well, no offense, actually fought like a sniper."

"Yeah..." Rebecca sighs. "Seth and the others confuse beam spam with 'sniping'. Kinda frustrating, actually."

"We'd have had a lot harder time if you had all stayed hidden." You continue.

"Yeah, that's what I suggested." Rebecca shakes her head. "But... that's what happens when your only knowledge of sniping comes from video games and action movies. And I'm just a lowly freshman. Who's going to listen to me?"

"True." You concede.

"It doesn't sound like you're happy with your team." You frown.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I came off that way!" Rebecca blinks and then chuckles. "Even if we don't see eye to eye, they're still lovable goofs."

"Plus when they graduate that means you'll be in charge of the team." You hypothesize.

"Bingo." Rebecca laughs. "But I'm honored that you offered. I'll be rooting for you in the school tournament!"

With that, Rebecca gives you wave and heads off to join her team. They're still looking a bit glum that they've been knocked out of the top four, but all it is is just some hurt pride, nothing more.

"Getting awfully friendly with that sniper girl, there." Charlotte says as she steps up next to you. "I didn't think she was your type."

"Well, it is true that jack never passes up an opportunity to talk to a pretty girl. I think it's a trait he inherited from his father." Lucina grins.

"Whoa, hey, don't take it the wrong way!" You blanch. "My dad was and still is a completely upstanding man!"

"Hm, sure." Charlotte grins. "Anyways, um, I know it's kinda last minute, but I was wondering if you guys, the whole team, I mean, would want to come over to my house this weekend."

"You mean your castle?" You joke.

"Shut up."

"I don't think 'castle' is the correct term..." Lucina frowns.

"Ah, you know what I mean." You say to Lucina before turning back to Charlotte. "What's the occasion?"
