That's right, it was the Random Weapon Challenge tomorrow, a popular favorite for the tournament. Essentially, this mean that fighters would have all of their weapons removed or disabled, and were only allowed to use a randomly determined weapon provided by the tournament staff. The weapons could be anything from hyper beam rifles and heat blades to paintball guns and baseballs. Part of the challenge was figuring out a way to use what you had to defeat your opponent, or so the organizers claimed. Really, it was just to see fighters get stuck in amusing positions.

Then again, this wasn't unexpected.

"I'm going to bed, Holly." You sigh. "You should get some sleep too."

"In a minute." Holly says without even looking up from her work table. In between helping maintain the Jester, she had also been tirelessly crafting upgrades for it as well. Not an easy feat with the improvised toolset and materials she had on hand.

"Well, don't stay up too long, or I'm letting you sleep in and leaving you behind." You warn as you settle down in your bed.

(cont)

>>35068836
And of course, Holly oversleeps. Then again, to be fair, you had to report to the stadium a little earlier than usual since all the fighters had to draw lots for their weapons.

"Yo." Charlotte waves as you exit your room. "Not taking Holly with you?"

"She could use some more sleep, and the matches aren't starting just yet, anyways." You shrug.

"I'll keep an eye on her." Lucina says. "You two better go."

"Thanks, Lucina." You grin.

Both you and Charlotte exit the dorms. You haven't actually talked to Charlotte much ever since the end of yesterday's Battle Royale. You sort of suspect that it had something to do with her going back into Rival Mode.

What you also notice is that the both of you were starting to attract a lot of stares as you made your way to the stadium. You guess that after that theatrical ending to the Battle Royale, you and Charlotte stole a little more spotlight.

Charlotte notices, too, and sighs, apprently resigned to her plight.

Well, GBFQ always had a very distinct ending point, which is why it's a bit shorter than my other quests. On top of that, like in the anime, I don't really want to get caught up having to write out every single individual prelim match.

>>Maybe you should take a more... concealed route.

This will probably end in a compromising position for the both of us. I like it.

Any odd chace come friday you ask people to post their customs for use as fodder?

If this quest doesn't end with Charlotte and us fighting with our first Gundams in their out of the box condition, I will be severely upset.

>>35068939
Lucina would probably loan her own Gunpla in a pinch (and subdue the saboteur while she's at it), or Holly would exhaust herself trying to build a new model or repair the current Jester.

>>35069031
We can equip one of our GN Drives into Lucina's suit

maybe jerryrig our ball rack into her suit

>>35069031
No, we'd just switch to one of our Balls.

>>35068880
Yeah but I've really been enjoying it and kinda want to ride it as much as possible you know?

>>35069065
We'll still get some more threads in. We're going to cut to the final brackets, which means we'd have three fights before the quest ends. Plenty of time for dramatic clashes of gunpla.

You decide to just keep walking. Let them look all they want. You didn't care.

It seemed that your determination also encouraged Charlotte, as well, as she stays in position besides you, and before you know it, you're already at the stadium entrance.

That wasn't so bad at all, you think.

"Wait until they start bringing cameras." Charlotte smirks, like she just read your mind

"Wonderful." You sigh.

You then see Mr. Ral waving at the two of you and you two wave back.

We always have time for Ral. And Ral always has time for us. Because there's no Build Fighters version of Crowley Hamon, unlike every other character, so he is very lonely. I feel bad for the guy. Everyone else gets to be with their waifu in Gundam Valhalla, why can't he?

>>35069150
"Mr. Ral!" You say, walking toward him. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, just fine!" Ral chortles and gives a hearty slap to you and Charlotte's backs. "That was an excellent show yesterday! You certainly won the crowd with that closing stunt!"

"Aw no, we were just blowing up something really big, that's all." You grin.

"Regardless! It was an excellent showing!" Ral nods. "And further proof that the established veterans still have something to fear from the new blood!"

"Well, it sort of helped that our enemies weren't very challenging." You shrug, remembering the horror that was those silly Black Tristar impersonators.

"Well, the point of the preliminaries is to weed out those who can't make the cut." Ral narrows his eyes. "Don't forget, you will eventually be facing more skilled opponents, so don't get overconfident. That has put an end to many promising fighters."

"We'll remember that." Charlotte nods. "As newcomers, we still have a lot to prove."

"That you do!" Ral laughs and slaps you both on the back again, propelling you two towards the the entrance. "Now go! You've got a match to prepare for!"

The two of you head to the center stadium, where the rest of the fighters were gathered. In the center was a massive slot machine, and fighters were already lining up to take their turns.

The fighters start picking up their numbers, and the line moves quickly. Soon enough, you're up. You take a deep breath and pull the crank as the numbers spin.

The numbers finally slide into place. Number 64. Not too bad, you think. Could be worse. You could've gotten 44, which was apparently super bad luck in Japan.

"All weapons have now been selected! All fighters, please report to your assigned battle tables! Any fighters not fighting right now please return to the gathering area!"

This time, you were one of the first ones up. You head to your assigned table, where you see a stone faced, brown haired boy standing across from you.

PLEASE SET GP BASE

BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL

FIELD: MOUNTAIN

FIGHT BEGIN

Your Jester touches down on rocky, uneven terrain, typical of a mountain field. Up ahead, you see a large crate with the number "64" stamped on the side and immediately dash over it. You instinctively hit the switch deploy your Balls, but then remember that since they counted as weapons, you were not allowed to bring them in this battle.

You almost felt naked without them.

Nevertheless, you make your way to the crate and open it up, revealing a beam halberd with a shotgun tube. Not exactly ideal, but it was still a decent weapon. Now you just had to hope your opponent didn't have any ranged weapons. Picking up the halberd and snapping it to your back, you try to get your bearings.

>>35069682
You decide to go scout out your opponent. Nothing would be gained from just sitting in place.

As your Jester negotiates the rough terrain, you decide to head for the high ground. Not only was it more advantageous, but you'd also get a better line of sight on the area.

Then again, your opponent might have the same idea...

>>35069863
And there you see it, you opponent. Honestly, you were expecting something a bit more intimidating, but all you see is a Leo painted bright orange. Not exactly the most threatening of opponents.

However, what WAS threatening was his machine gun with a heat bayonet. It certainly would beat out your beam halberd in a long distance fight.

Well, he hasn't seemed to have noticed you yet, and you have the high ground. If you charge now, you'd probably have enough momentum that we he wouldn't have time to shoot at you before getting into striking distance with your halberd. But that was a big risk.

You resolve to play this stealthily. You wait for the Leo to continue on its path for a bit longer before climbing down the side of the mountain as carefully as possible. Even the slightest misstep could shift the rocks, alerting the Leo to your presence, or worse, burying you in a landslide.

Your Jester manages to deftly negotiate the rocky terrain, but there are a few close calls. At one point your nearly knock over a large rock, which would have sent it hurtling over a cliff and crashing into the ground below. Not exactly helpful when trying to attempt a stealth approach.

Finally, you're back on fairly level ground. However, you've largely lost sight of the Leo, except for the occasional flash of orange as it continues on its path.

You opt not to follow directly behind the Leo. Chances are it might have left behind traps or something of that nature in case he suspected of being followed. Plus, you'd have to speed up to catch up with him, which would risk giving you away as well.

Instead, you judge his current head and calculate the direction you would need to go to cut him off.

>>35070591
Fortunately, you seem to catch up to the Leo. It's still going along at a steady pace, carefully keeping an eye on its surroundings. You can see that it's steadily making its way to a small ravine, probably to find some cover. That ravine would be the perfect place to ambush him, but with that narrow space, if something went wrong, there would be no way he could miss with his MG. Or, you could try ambushing him while he was still in the open. Sure you might not be able to surprise him as easily, but open ground gave you better chances to use your higher mobility to its fullest advantage.

>>35070798
You opt to hit the Leo in the open. You had several options, though.

First, you could just straight up charge him. Quick and simple, it not a bit too straightforward.

Or you could try throwing your beam halberd at him like a javelin. From the looks of it, that Leo didn't really have armor to take that sort of attack.

Or you could try to stun it with a long range shotgun blast before charging in. However, you only had one shot with it, so you would have to make it count.

Rolled 4 (1d20)

>>35070969
You decide just to charge the Leo. The simplest plans usually had the least potential for going, after all. You power up your thrusters and boost forward, your GN drive whining as it's suddenly forced to activate. However, your charge does not go unnoticed. The Leo just happens to turn your direction and sees you breaking cover, speeding forward with your beam halberd. The Leo, bravely stands its ground, raising its machine gun and firing.

Hopefully he didn't have enough time to aim properly.

Hopefully your armor was tough enough.

Hopefully.

All three rolls on our end are still higher, so yeah, I'd say that's a crit.

>>35071162
Fortunately, it seemed the former was the case. The shots are all wide and inaccurate, with not a single bullet able to hit you. It also sort of helps that your GN boosted thrusters help you close the distance in almost no time at all, denying the Leo any time to prepare for your assault. You swing your halberd forward...

Oh, idea I had recently for a ball while catching up. You guys know how the Shenlong had dragon heads and flamethrowers? What about a hydra ball, boost melee capability while giving close fire support due to the flamethrowers, maybe even allowing better visual use from it too. What do you guys think?

The Leo manages to parry your blow, knocking your halberd away with the butt of his machine gun, burning a deep gouge into his right shoulder rather than the torso you were aiming for.. You had to admit, he had some good reflexes in close combat, especially with a weapon not suited for it.

With your swing complete, the Leo tries to take the opportunity to get some distance between itself and you. You scowl. You'll have to finish him quick or he'd be able to get another shot in at you.

The shotgun blast catches the Leo full in the chest. The fighter obviously wasn't expecting a ranged weapon to be built into the halberd, and took no protective measures against such an attack. You see the Leo get propelled backwards as its chest is literally crushed in by the force of the shotgun blast. It then falls on its back, where it's easy prey for you to jam your halberd straight into its chest, finishing the job as the Leo's square head optic goes dark.

BATTLE ENDED


You sigh in relief. That was one battle over.

You take a look over at Charlotte's table, were her Kampfer was prodding a larger Acguy to death with a butterfly knife. Meanwhile, Fellini manages to defeat his opponent with a boomerang. He never actually throws it though, he simply beat his opponent's head in with it as a blunt weapon. You couldn't blame him, though. You had no idea how boomerangs worked, either.

Mao gets a drill, of all things, and initially has trouble at first until he found out he could actually shoot the thing like a rocket punch, which nets him the last second win.

The Meijin, of course, completely dominates his beam rifle armed opponent with a simple quarterstaff, easily knocking the weapon out of his hands and jamming the rod through his opponent's chest.

That's all you manage to see before the day's events end.

I would've suggested highschool cavalry battle otherwise. Or pole knockdown contest, but with the pole as a space elevator.

>>35072112
The next event that was up was the race event. Now, this one was a bit different from the other events in that it did not prioritize defeating the other opponents. Instead, it was all a matter of speed, since you needed to get to the finish line ahead of the other racers. Now, that's not to say that opponents couldn't attack each other, but most times fighters would go for minimum armaments in order to save on weight.

However, Holly helped come up with a rather ingenious solution to help you out. As a temporary measure, she tied both of your Balls to a Base Jabber, making a sort of cobbled together chariot which she had taken to calling the Ball Racer. The thing looked utterly ridiculous, but you could see Holly reasoning. The Balls each had quite a bit of thrust, and were GN powered, as well. Their output could complement the Base Jabber's, and since they could move independently from the Base Jabber, could also act as impromptu thrust vectors.

Really, the the only question now was whether you should load up on weapons or not.

>>35072650
>Bring minimum weapons. (Beam rifle and saber only. Autocannons and beam rifles on Balls)

>>35072650
You decide to bring minimum weapons, just in case. You could always ditch them if needed, after all.

You and the rest of the racers all gather at the starting line. The field here was rather simple. Just a regular, paved track with some twists and turns, as well as a small lake that had to be hovered or flown over. You take a look at your rivals and frown. By some stroke of luck, none of the other front runners seem to have been placed in your race. That was good, you suppose, but you're guessing that this wasn't going to be much of challenge.

Then the starting lights activate, starting off red, but they slowly begin to count down...

>>35073039
Yeah, we could certainly sandbag a little. Let the fastest ones get out ahead a little, pepper them from behind, then Trans-Am.

>>35072938
Nah, you were just gonna go fast. GN Drives did a very good job of passively boosting your speed.

Or, you guess you could just Trans Am. That would probably give you a healthy enough lead that you really wouldn't have to worry about falling behind or anything like that.

Rolled 7, 19, 12 = 38 (3d20)

>>35073159
You decide to hold off on the Trans Am for now. You'd rather save it for when you really REALLY had to use it. Instead, you order your Balls to go full thrust once the timer went down.

You're right. It's worse. Blue shells are the least of our worries. What I wouldn't give for the Absorb system.

>>35073467
>>not wanting first
Of course not. We don't want to be the target. Plus, if we're in second we are better able to judge whether or not Trans-Am needs to be done. We have the initiative.

>>35073372
You Balls fire up their thrusters and blast ahead, pulling you and the Base Jabber you're riding on ahead of the pack.

However, another racer matches your speed. You recognize it as the ReZel in the Battle Royale, which managed to get a good head start and has managed to inch just a bit ahead of you.

Meanwhile, immediately behind, you can see the Zeta Gundam you had previously fought, as well as a Empruss mobile armor. They were both obviously looking for an opening to pull ahead. Wonderful.

I'd wager it'd be available if someone did some digging specifically on us.

>>35073630
>Fire at your pursuers to force them back.
>Other
Why not leave the ReZel at pole-position for now?
With our chariot setup, I'm assuming the Balls are at the front, which means most of our effective firepower will be facing forwards.
Kinda hard to traverse the Balls' guns towards the back when our base jabber is on the way.

Once the distance is far enough between the leaders (us and the ReZel) and the stragglers, we can focus fire on it solely then activate Trans-Am at the final stretch.

>>35073778
Not necessarily. The match was taped, I'm sure anyone who wants to could look it up. The question is whether we're notable enough yet that anyone's bothered to research our fighting style.

>>35073850
However, the ReZel notices what your trying to do, and speeds up as well, actually pulling ahead of you. You curse. You guess the racer tuned up the engines specifically for this race. The ReZel picks up a slight but healthy lead. Meanwhile, the Zeta and Empruss are accelerating as well, keeping pace with you, but at least not gaining ground. However, you're not too comfortable with having a pair of beam weapon armed mobile weapons right behind you.

Overall, though, you were already halfway through the first lap, and with the speed only picking up, the intervals were only going to get shorter.

You and your Ball manage to drill two beam shots into the ReZel's left wing, causing the whole craft the wobble. It's right wing dips down and scrapes against the ground, slowing it down. and you shoot ahead with the Zeta and Empruss in two. You note that even though you didn't completely destroy it, the ReZel had taken enough serious damage that it probably wouldn't be able to get up to the front runners. That just left your two pursuers.

Not really wanting to get dragged down by a high speed firefight, you instead opt to try and leave your pursuers in the dust. Something easier said than done, as your Balls were already reaching their maximum speed.
