Ryuk sat in his command center, accessing the Gundam Shop through his system. His budget of 150,000 Gundam points felt both generous and restrictive, given the wide array of options available. His eyes scanned the list, evaluating each unit's capabilities and cost.
Suddenly, a bundle promo caught his attention. For just 100,000 Gundam points, he could acquire a formidable assortment of units:
- **5 Gundam SDW Red Astray (Common Grade)**: Equipped with dual katana blades that emit a beam capable of slicing through metal like butter.
- **3 Gundam SDW RGM**: Each equipped with a beam rifle and a GN shield.
- **2 Gundam Konoichi**: Stealth units equipped with explosive kunais, cloaking technology, and short katanas.
"This bundle is perfect," Ryuk thought, a smile spreading across his face. "It saves points and provides a well-rounded team."
He made the purchase and watched as the units materialized in the hangar, ready for deployment. With 50,000 points remaining, he considered other items in the shop but decided to save them for future opportunities, knowing that the shop's inventory would refresh each week.
Unbeknownst to Ryuk, his recent activities had drawn the attention of two powerful groups: the X-Men and the Brotherhood. The rescue of mutants from the Hydra base had not gone unnoticed.
At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor Charles Xavier gathered his team. "We've been observing the actions of a new player," he said, his tone serious. "This 'Ark' has shown remarkable capabilities and a willingness to help mutants. We need to understand his intentions."
Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood, also took note. "This Ark could be a valuable ally or a formidable enemy," he mused. "We must learn more about him and his Gundams."
Meanwhile, at a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Director Nick Fury oversaw the activation of the Tesseract. The powerful artifact glowed with a blue light, its energy being harnessed for unknown purposes. Fury's mind was split between the potential of the Tesseract and the enigma of Ark.
Back at his base, Ryuk was unaware of the growing interest in his activities. He continued to strategize, integrating his new units into his existing squads and planning their next moves. The Red Astrays, with their exceptional melee capabilities, would bolster his frontline forces. The RGM units would provide versatile support with their beam rifles and shields, while the Konoichis would excel in stealth and sabotage missions.
He addressed his new units, outlining their roles and expectations. "You are part of something bigger now," he said. "We have a mission to protect and to fight for a better future. Train hard, stay sharp, and be ready for anything."
The units acknowledged his words, their robotic eyes glowing with determination. Ryuk felt a surge of pride and confidence. With his growing army and the loyalty of his Gundams, he was ready to face any challenge.
Little did he know, the stage was being set for encounters with some of the most powerful mutants on Earth and the emergence of new threats tied to the Tesseract. The world was watching, and Ryuk Leoheart, the enigmatic Ark, was at the center of it all.

Meanwhile, Black Widow had been following a new lead that could finally bring her to her sister, Yelena. The hope of reuniting with her long-lost sister filled Natasha with determination. She knew the journey would be dangerous and complex, but the chance to find Yelena was worth any risk.
Natasha gathered all the information she had and set out to make contact with her sister. She hoped this journey might also lead her to cross paths with Ark again, intrigued by the mysterious figure who had saved her life and provided crucial information about Hydra.
As Natasha moved forward with her plan, Ark's system notified him of her actions. "Black Widow is on the move," the system alerted. "Objective: Locate her sister, Yelena."
Ryuk paused, considering this new development. He admired Natasha's resolve and felt a sense of duty to assist her. "Initiate surveillance on Black Widow's mission," he ordered his AI. "Ensure her safety and provide support if necessary."
As the pieces of this intricate puzzle began to fall into place, Ryuk prepared for the challenges ahead, knowing that his destiny was intertwined with many others in this complex and ever-evolving world.
