Classroom 1-1.
"So the tournament starts tomorrow." Seth said as he finished filling out the papers.
"Papa, what's a tournament?" Akikaze asked.
"It's a contest between a bunch of people. The best one will be the winner."
"You're going to fight people?" Akikaze said.
"Hey, but I'm not gonna hurt anyone. It's a friendly fight." Seth said to the small child.
"Alright everyone, class is about to begin!" Chifuyu said. Everyone took their seats. Akikaze sat on Seth lap and stared at the front of the room. Surprisingly the small child stayed still during the lesson.
Lunch Time.
Seth, Akikaze, Samus, Tatenashi, Cecilia, Rin, Kanzashi, Charlotte, Houki, and Laura were on the roof enjoying lunch together. Akikaze wanted to try feeding himself. Seth gave him a bento with a fork and spoon. He would use chopsticks when he was older, but for now they had to focus on one step at a time. Seth received a message from the [O.S.E.N.] telling that it had created several new upgrades for [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.]. Seth would work on adding the upgrades later that day, but for now, he would enjoy lunch with Akikaze and the others.
Later that night.
Seth felt something enter his bed. He saw Akikaze crawling into his bed.
"Akikaze? What's wrong? Did you have nightmare?" The small boy nodded his head yes.
"It's alright. Everyone gets scared sometimes." Seth said as he hugged the small child. Seth was tired from working on [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] for the tournament tomorrow, but there was no way he was going to lose.
In the Morning.
Seth dropped Akikaze off with Natasha and made his way to the locker room. In the male locker room he waited for the results to appear. Only twelve students had registered. From the first years, Seth, Samus, Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Charlotte, Laura, and Kanzashi along with several other people. Tina Hamilton, Rin's roommate and a U.S. representative candidate who received a [Jaeger] unit. A second year named Sara Welkin who is a England representative candidate and uses a [Fair Lady]. Another second year also joined the tournament. Forte Sapphire has a personal I.S. called [Cold Blood]. And finally the president herself would have to fight to defend her position. Tatenashi Sarashiki would show no mercy during the tournament. Now the results appeared on the screen. The first round of the tournament would be Rin vs Samus, followed by Seth vs Tina, Cecilia vs Sara, Laura vs Tatenashi, Kanzashi vs Forte, and finally Houki vs Charlotte.
"Looks like were fighting against each other." Samus stated.
"I hope you're ready to lose." Rin said.
Samus and Rin headed to the I.S. launch pad. Samus activated [Varia] and Rin activated [ShenLong]. The two flew into the center of the arena. Maya's voice began to come out of the P.A. System.
"Welcome everyone to the presidential tournament! The best I.S. pilots of the first and second years have entered the tournament to see which one has what it takes to be the student council president! First year Samus Aran of class 1 and first year Lingyin Huang of class three will be starting off the tournament! Ladies, show us a good fight!" Maya said as a ten seconds count down started. Both girls got their weapons ready. They removed their safety switches and entered their firing mode.
'3...2...1...start!' The two I.S. users charged at each other. Rin brought out their melee weapons. Rin's blades met Samus energy blade. While the two were in a bind, Samus raised up her arm cannon and fired a super missile. Rin retaliated by firing a barrage from her [Ryuhou]. Rin lost 200 energy points and Samus lost 130 points. A cloud of smoke blocked Rin and Samus's view of one another.
Rin's [Ryuhou] cannon were hit by a barrage of annihilator that distorted the cannons. Samus used her grapple beam and latched onto the heavily damaged [ShenLong]. Samus slammed Rin to the ground. Rin open her eyes and saw Samus point her arm cannon at [ShenLong].
"Sorry." Samus fired a barrage of wave beam depleting the last of Rin's energy point. A buzzer rang signaling Samus's victory.
"The winner is Samus Aran!" Maya said over the P.A. And the crowd began to cheer.
"Damn, you didn't hold back at all?" Rin said as she tried to get up. Samus extended her hand out to help Rin. The two quickly made it back to the locker room so that the next round could start.
5 Minutes later.
"Will Seth fairs and Tina Hamilton entered the arena." Maya said over the P.A. System.
Seth and Tina wasted no time in getting ready. Tina activated her [Jaeger] unit that was green in color and waited for Seth. Seth activated [F.L.A.M.E.] and took off. When he enter the arena everyone noticed a strange structure attached to [F.L.A.M.E.]. The strange structure appeared to be some sort of wings. (It looks like the bit holsters on Gundam Zabanya).
"What are those?" Tina asked.
"You might find out in our fight." Seth stated. The countdown started.
When the buzzer rang, Tina rushed towards Seth. [F.L.A.M.E.] raised a GN barrier and protected himself. Tina moved back to try and find an opening, but that's what Seth wanted. He charged up two beams in his railguns and unleashed their fury. The beams missed the [Jaeger] by a few centimeters. Seth launched his disk bits after the I.S.
Tina fired at the incoming bits with the [Jaeger]'s energy beams, but the bits were able to avoid the incoming attack. Seth created four red spheres of energy in his hands and railguns. This time the beams hit. However the [Jaeger] was a little stronger than an average I.S.
"Trans-Am!" [F.L.A.M.E.] began to glow red, green GN particles were being unleashed and Seth eyes changed to that of an Innovator. Tina had just recovered from the beams and was about to launch a counterattack, but she soon came face to face with a glowing red I.S. Seth unleashed a impact punch depleting the last of Tina energy points. The buzzer rang.
"The winner is Seth Fairs!" Maya yelled over the P.A. and the crowd began to cheer.
"Hey Tina, you alright?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, damn you've become a lot stronger since last time we fought." Tina stated.
"How long ago was it? Two, three years ago?"
"All I remember was that I won. Anyway looks like I'm out, I hope you win the tournament." Tina said as she headed for the locker room. Seth did the same so the next fight could start. The crowd wanted to know what the structure on [F.L.A.M.E.] was.
With Cecilia.
"It appears as though the next battle shall be between two high class Englishwomen." Cecilia said to Sara Welkins.
"Indeed, well may the best lady win." Sara said mockingly as she entered the hangar. The two met in the center of the arena. Cecilia in her [Blue Tears] and Sara in her custom [Fair Lady]. The countdown started. The moment the buzzer rang, Cecilia deployed her bits and fired a barrage of beams at the [Fair Lady]. Sara however showed that her title of being a representative candidate was not just for show. She slashed the bits instantly, Surprising the crowd.
"You're suppose to be a representative candidate? disgraceful." Sara said as she charged in with a sword in her hand. Cecilia was unable to recover in time to avoid a heavy strike from the [Fair Lady]. Cecilia tried to fire her missile point blank, but Sara avoided the missiles and began to unload a Sniper Rifle point blank at [Blue Tears].
Cecilia brought out her only melee weapon. A dagger. Sara, using her sword, knocked [Blue Tears]'s dagger out of Cecilia's hand. Sara kicked Cecilia down to the ground.
"Kyyaaa!" Cecilia yelled as she hit the ground. Sara wasted no time in finished off Cecilia.
"Pathetic." Sara said as she left Cecilia on the arena floor. The whole crowd was left speechless. Seth was the first to rush to Cecilia's aid. Cecilia was knocked out and had heavy bruising to her mid-section. Seth helped the medics get Cecilia on a stretcher and they took her away.
"What the hell is her problem?" Seth thought as he looked at Sara who was about to enter the locker room. He knew this was a tournament, but the way Sara fought was far too butrual. It was like she had a personal issue with Cecilia. The boy had to get off the arena so the next battle could start. He hoped that he could give her a piece of his mind later.
5 Minutes later.
Laura and Tatenashi took to the arena. Laura knew that she had a big challenge in front of her, but she was determined to win. The countdown started and the girls readied themselves. The moment the buzzer rang Tatenashi fired a volley of bullets from her heavy rain lance. Laura used her AIC to stop the bullets and fired several rounds from [Schwarzer Regan]'s railgun.
Tatenashi easily avoided the shots, and fired a few rounds from her Heavy rain that hit. Laura responded by launching her six dagger wires at the current student council president. Tatenashi brought out [Mysterious Lady]'s Rusty Nail, a whip sword. She used the whip sword to wrap around two of the wire daggers and flung Laura towards a wall.
Laura quickly detached the two captured wire daggers. She quickly impaled the ground with the four remaining wire daggers to help stabilize her faster. Once Laura regained her stability she looked up and saw Tatenashi charging straight towards her. Laura raised her arm up and activated her AIC just in time to capture Tatenashi.
"Ara ara, I'm stuck." Tatenashi said.
"You're mine!" Laura roared as she emptied the railgun's clip into Tatenashi and for a finishing touch, she deployed her beam saber and stabbed at [Mysterious Lady]. However to Laura's and the crowd's' horror, the beam saber when straight through the [Mysterious Lady]'s ultimate barrier and stabbing Tatenashi in the chest.
"Laura...why?" Tatenashi said as a small trickle of blood started to come from her mouth.
"I didn't mean to, oh god!" Laura was starting to freak out. She had no clue what to do.
"Just kidding!" Tatenashi said before she stuck her tongue out and transformed into water.
"Hoorah!" The real Tatenashi roared as she used the lance of mysteltainn. Laura was so shocked by the turn of events that she couldn't fight back. The lance destroyed Laura's energy points. As the buzzer rang Laura had one question, how was Tatenashi able to make a water clone. The current student council president explain that the nano machines that [Mysterious Lady] could control also allowed her to make clones. Tatenashi apologized for pulling such a cruel prank on Laura as they left the arena. Soon the next round was about to start.
With Kanzashi.
Kanzashi and Forte activated their I.S. units and met in the center. Kanzashi in her [Uchigane Nishiki] was ready to go. Forte's [Cold Blood] is a second generation machine that specialized in mid range combat like [Uchigane Nishiki]. The two girls got ready and the countdown started.
The buzzer rang and the two girls began their fight. Kanzashi started the match off by firing a barrage from her particle cannons on [Uchigane Nishiki]'s hips. Forte avoided the shots and brought out sub-machine gun. She began to open fire on Kanzashi, but the pilot of [Uchigane Nishiki] used its shield, [Suojelija] and created an energy barrier. The bullets had no effect. Kanzashi brought out her spear and at the tip of the energy spear, a blue sphere of energy formed. She unleashed a blue beam of energy.
Forte moved to avoid the blast, but didn't notice the barrage of missiles Kanzashi had unleashed. Forte used her sub-machine guns to try and shoot down the incoming missiles. While Forte was distracted by the incoming missiles, Kanzashi charged in with her energy spear. Over the last month, while Seth was gone, Kanzashi had received a massive amount of training from Tatenashi and it was really showing.
Kanzashi continued to put more and more pressure on the second year student. She was able to force [Cold Blood] to the ground and landed on top of the I.S. Kanzashi created a blue sphere on the tip of her spear. She thrusted the spear with the sphere of energy down towards Forte. The sphere created an explosion that damaged both I.S. units, but Kanzashi's plan worked. The attack reduced [Cold Blood] energy points to zero and a buzzer rang. The crowd cheered for Kanzashi as many didn't expect her to win. Kanzashi help Forte get up and the two left the arena so that the next match could start.
With Houki and Charlotte.
"Looks like its time for our match." Charlotte said to Houki.
"I'm not gonna hold back." Houki stated.
"Same here. May the best woman win." Charlotte said as she was feeling competitive today. The two girls made their way to their hangers. They launched and met in the center of the arena. The countdown started that the girls got ready.
The buzzer rang and Charlotte moved away from Houki. She was at a major disadvantage in close quarters, but mid to long range combat was where [Joan Of Arc] was at it best. Houki knew what Charlotte was trying to do and moved in. Charlotte used [Joan Of Arc] two double barrel beam Gatling guns and fired a massive volley of energy shots. The massive volley forced Houki back.
"Damn, she's not letting up." Houki tried to move in close, but Charlotte increased the volley of energy shots. Over the last few months, [Akatsubaki] had been processing Houki's combat data and had created two new weapons. The first was [Ugachi] the energy crossbow, but the second one she had yet to use.
"Lets do this [Akatsubaki]!" The wings on [Akatsubaki]'s back detached and revealed a blade on each of the wings.
"Go!" Houki yelled as the melee bits launched themselves at Charlotte.
"Crap!" Charlotte was forced to stop her barrage to avoided the incoming bits. Charlotte began to fire a massive volley towards the bits. Houki, with [Amatsuki] and [Karaware] in her hands, charged in. Charlotte knew what Houki was trying to do. She dematerialized her Gatling guns. She brought out one of her [Garm] SMG that was transferred from her old [Raphael-Revive] and her special shield. Charlotte fired all the missiles in the containers on her shoulders. Once they were empty, Charlotte detached them to increase her mobility.
Houki slashed at Charlotte but the French girl raised up her shield and block the attack. Charlotte pointed her [Gram] SMG at Houki and was about to fire when Houki activated [Akatsubaki]'s foot blades. Houki slashed the SMG with her foot blades cutting it in half. The gun exploded in [Joan Of Arc]'s hand causing some damage to the joints. Both girls were getting low on points. As Charlotte was about to launch a counterattack, Houki's melee bits attacked and forced Charlotte's shield out of her hands.
"It's over!" Houki yelled as she slashed down on [Joan Of Arc]. Charlotte was able to catch the blades, but Houki activated her fold out armor and now pushed Charlotte back against a wall literally. Charlotte lost points as she hit the wall and continued to hold onto Houki's blades. Things looked grim for the French girl, but she had a trick up her sleeve. The armor on her chest opened up and revealed a pair of Gatling guns. They began to spin up and unleashed an incredibly fast and powerful volley of energy shots at Houki. Due to the attack being point blank, Houki was unable to move and the attack caused massive damage. When the attack was over, Houki's energy points were zero and Charlotte was declared the winner. She would move on to tomorrow's match. With today's matches over Seth, Sara, Samus, Tatenashi, Kanzashi, and Charlotte would be entered in a random match generator, but for now it was time to rest. Seth said to meet with the others but first he had to take care of something.
Nurse Office.
Seth made his way to the Nurse office. He found Cecilia's bed. She was currently asleep which was perfect for Seth. He held out his hands above Cecilia and his hands created a yellow sphere. The wounds on Cecilia's body began to disappear. Seth saw that her wounds were gone and she should wake up in an hour, feeling better then ever. He now began to go meet up with the others. However the moment he left Cecilia got up.
"What was that?" Cecilia said to herself as she saw what Seth did. She checked her wounds and saw that they were all gone. She would have a few question for Seth later.
Cafeteria.
Seth entered the cafeteria and saw the group sitting at a nearby table. He saw Natasha with Akikaze on her lap along with the other at the table.
"Hey." Seth said as he joined the group.
"Papa!" Akikaze got up from Natasha's lap and ran up to Seth.
"Akikaze were you watching dad?"
"Papa was really cool!" The small child said excitedly. Seth picked up Akikaze sat down next to the group. The other members of the table were starting to discuss today's matches.
"Today's matches were sure great." Tatenashi stated.
"Yeah they were. Samus started off with showing me no mercy." Rin said.
"Sorry, I don't like to lose." Samus said as joined the conversation.
"It's fine." Rin replied.
"I think the greatest moment was when Tatenashi tricked Laura into thinking she caused a fatal wound." Laura began to blush at Seth's comment.
"That was a dirty trick." Laura said embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry Laura-chan." Tatenashi said as she hugged the German girl.
"I hope Cecilia gets better soon." Charlotte said.
"I'm sure she'll be back to 100% by tomorrow." Seth said.
"I'm really curious on that girl Sara and why she fought so brutally against Cecilia?" Kanzashi said.
"I think I can explain that." A new voice said. The group turned to the source of the voice and saw Cecilia.
"Cecilia? Are you alright? Shouldn't you be resting?" Natasha said as she was worried about her student.
"I assure you Fairs-sensei that I feel perfectly alright. In fact I've never felt better before. Now I think I know why Sara Welkins resents me." Cecilia began to explain how Sara was suppose to be [Blue Tears]'s pilot but that changed when Cecilia began to show a higher compatibility with [Blue Tears]'s core.
"I see so she jealous."
"Yes. It doesn't help that she was the designated pilot of [Silent Zephyrs] until it was stolen." Seth could see how Sara could resent Cecilia. Sara was a great pilot, but yet she never received the attention she desired, but nonetheless that was no reason for Sara to act the way she did. If Seth got the chance to fight her then he would set her straight.
The group hanged out for a couple of hours until it was time for Akikaze bedtime. Seth headed back to his room with his son and started getting him ready for bed. As Seth was about to start reading Akikaze a bedtime story someone knocked on his door. Seth went and opened the door. He saw Cecilia standing at the entrance.
"Cecilia?"
"Seth I have something I want to talk with you." The British girl said.
"Hey come in." Seth as he allowed Cecilia in his room.
"So what did you want to talk about." Seth said as he handed Cecilia a glass of water.
"I wanted to know what that light you used on me was?" Seth nearly spat out the water in his mouth when he heard Cecilia's question. He suddenly got quiet. He knew he could lie, but if Cecilia found out then.
"Cecilia can you keep a secret?"
"Huh?"
"Cecilia I'll tell you the truth, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone what I'm about to say." Seth said.
"You have my word as Cecilia Alcott that I will never reveal your secret."
"It was magic." Seth stated.
"Huh? Excuse me?"
"I said it was magic."
"Seth please don't lie to me. I said I would keep your secret." Cecilia was starting to get annoyed. However she became silent when she saw Seth use the spell mage light and create a sphere of light.
"What the- is it really-"
"Hey Cecilia come here." Seth said as he was next to the window. He opened the window and pointed to the sky. There was an overcast blocking out the beautiful night sky.
"Cecilia isn't it a shame that these clouds are blocking out the night sky. Lets change that. Lok Vah Koor!" Seth shouted and the sky began to clear up. Cecilia couldn't believe her eyes. It was really magic. The stuff of fairy tales was actually true.
"Seth this is amazing. I can't believe it. It's really magic."
"Remember you can't tell no one. I'm putting my trust in you, Cecilia." Seth's words for some reason brought a warm feeling to her chest.
"Don't worry I won't tell a soul." Cecilia said.
The Next Morning.
It was now the beginning of the second round of the presidential tournament. The contestant were now waiting to find out who would be fighting first. The names were entered in a random match generator and the first match was decided. Seth would be fighting Sara, follow by Samus against Tatenashi and the last round would be Kanzashi vs Charlotte.
"Seth Fairs and Sara Welkins, please come to the arena." Maya said as she read the names of the first match.
Seth and Sara wasted no time getting to the arena. Seth launched from the hangar in [F.L.A.M.E.] and Sara launched in her [Fair Lady]. Seth was determine to knock Sara off her high horse. The countdown started.
"I'm going to knock some sense into you." Seth said, confusing the girl.
"For what?" Sara asked.
"For what you did to Cecilia."
"Great so you're on her side as well. Fine. Bring it on."
The moment the buzzer rang, Seth fired several rounds from his railguns. Sara rushed to avoid them. She brought out two SMGs and began to fire a barrage of attacks on the red I.S. Seth knew the best way to knock Sara straight would be to overpower her. He fired a rapid barrage of beams from [F.L.A.M.E.]. Even with his constant barrage, the beams were failing to hit anything. He was forced to make a choice. Use Trans-Am or deployed his secret weapon. He decided to use both.
"Deploy rifle bits." Seth said and the 10 I.S. size GN beam rifles revealed themselves. Two of the GN beam rifles deployed a hidden handle inside of them. Seth held the rifle by the handle. "Deploy shield bits." Seth said and the holsters for the beam rifles launched themselves into the air. With the two beam rifles in his hands and [F.L.A.M.E.] own disk bits, the total number of bits was 22. Many people were shocked at all the bits flying in the air.
"This is for Cecilia, TRANS-AM!" Seth yelled as [F.L.A.M.E.] and the bits began to glow red. Sara suddenly saw a swarm of bits attacking her. She tried her best to avoid the barrage of beams, but they were far too fast and too many. Sara was able to hold out for a bit longer then Seth had predicted. Seth fired a massive barrage of beams with his new bits. All the attacks made the arena look like a laser light show. It wasn't long before Sara's energy points to reach zero. As the buzzer rang the rifle and shield bits docked back with [F.L.A.M.E.].
"I was utterly defeated." Sara said crushed.
"You were great in that fight."
"What do you mean? I lost."
"Look at the scoreboard." Sara saw that Seth had only 100 points of energy left.
"Huh? But how?"
"That last attack I used on you consumes a ton of energy. If you were able to survive another 17 seconds I would have lost." Seth said.
"Look my suit may be better in specs, but you did far better then the simulation predicted. You should have lost within 30 seconds, but you did three times better. What I'm trying to say is even of you don't have a better suit you should still feel proud. We should get off the arena so the next match can start." Seth said as he held out his hand and Sara took it. For some reason when Sara was under attack by the barrage, she felt a strange warm sensation in her chest.
5 Minutes Later.
Samus and Tatenashi quickly met in the arena after the match intermission was over. The moment the buzzer rang, Samus moved back and began firing a barrage of power beams shots. Tatenashi easily avoided the attack and fire several dozen rounds from her lance. It was clear that they were both exercising extreme cations with one another.
Samus saw the water shields on [Mysterious Lady] and hatched an idea. She switched to her wave beam and fired her wavebuster. The torrent of electricity flew towards the current school council president, but her water shield moved in to protect her. Unknown to most students, [Mysterious Lady]'s water barrier were made from chemically pure water. Chemically pure water does not conduct electricity.
"Dammit, I'll have to evaporate it." Samus said as she switched to her plasma beam. Samus began to fire a rapid barrage of plasma towards Tatenashi. With each shot a small amount of Tatenashi's water barriers evaporated. Samus saw an opening and took. She charged at Tatenashi straight through a cloud of steam she had just made. The moment Samus passed through the cloud of steam, Tatenashi began to smirk.
Samus now up fired a missiles point blank and swung Tatenashi back using her grapple beam. Suddenly [Varia]'s hexagonal shield bits launched themselves and created a barrier behind Samus. She turned around and saw Tatenashi with her lance out. She guess that this one was one of those water clones. Samus used screw attack on the clone causing it to disappear into a pool of water. Suddenly warnings and damage reports appeared on [Varia]'s visor.
"What the hell?!" Samus couldn't believe the damage on her machine. It was level C. She couldn't fight in this condition without damaging her core.
"I'm sorry Sammy, but I don't want to give up my position as president." Tatenashi said.
"I surrender." Samus said. She wanted to fight longer, but Seth had warned her the dangers of fighting with a damaged core. If it was avoidable she should not fight with a heavily damaged machine.
In the stands Seth was watching the match and now learned how dangerous the machine was. He had done some research and found out that [Mysterious Lady] had nanomachines that controlled the water and in theory, it could be possible for Tatenashi to use the nano machines to destroy an I.S. from the inside out. He guess that it was no longer just a theory.
5 Minutes Later.
Kanzashi and Charlotte were on the arena and the countdown started. Whoever won this match would fight Seth and Tatenashi in the final round. The moment the buzzer rang, Charlotte opened fire on Kanzashi. Poor girl didn't even see it coming. Kanzashi had lost over 400 points but she was to use [Suojelija] to block the attack. Charlotte was merciless in her assault. It was surprising to see the normally calm blond French girl act so out of character. Kanzashi even with her training didn't last too long. With the match over the final round would be Seth vs Tatenashi vs Charlotte in a three-way free for all.
For the rest of the day the students were dismissed to do whatever they wanted. Seth met up with Natasha and took Akikaze with him. Sara went to Cecilia's room and apologized to her. Cecilia forgave her and Sara asked if she wanted to train with her to improve her piloting skills. The blond British girl accepted.
Lunar Base.
Seth had taken Akikaze and [Varia] with him to the lunar base. [Varia] needed heavy repairs, more than Seth could perform at the academy. As he was looking for Ritsuko he came across an old pal he hadn't talk to in a while.
"Woah, you got big." Seth said as he saw the baby Metroid was no longer small and cute. The Metroid saw Seth and began to chirp happily.
"Guess it still sees me as its mother." Seth fed the Metroid some of his energy to reinforce the bond he had with it. He was hoping it would never attack anyone, and so far Ritsuko's report stated that it was pretty social. It only angrily screech if someone forgot to feed it, but even then it was still kind.
Seth found Ritsuko and asked her to get some of her engineers to fix [Varia]. He met up with Amelia, Gina, Rattle, and Stella before heading back to earth.
The Next Day.
It was time for the final round of the tournament. Seth had launched in [B.L.A.Z.E.]. The first thing people noticed with the fact that [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s wings were green instead of red. Many wondered why the sudden change in color, but it looked pretty cool. Seth saw Charlotte and Tatenashi enter the arena. The others and he took their places. They waited for the countdown to start. Charlotte and Tatenashi noticed on the lower section of [B.L.A.Z.E.] on Seth's hips were two new structures. They guessed that it was some sort of new weapon (They look like Gundam Harute's GN cannons). Now the countdown reached zero and the match began. The Tatenashi knew her biggest threat was Seth, but she also knew how he likes to charge into battle.
Seth was the first to attack. He brought out two GN rifle swords (They look like Gundam Harute's except that they're black). He pointed the GN rifle swords at both girls and open fire. The rifle swords unleashed a very rapid barrage of pink GN particle beams. The girls moved to avoid the barrages, but Seth was able to predict where the girls would move to. Seth launched the six bits on [B.L.A.Z.E.] and dedicated three bits to each of the girls.
Charlotte, while avoiding Seth's incoming barrage, fired at the boy with her double barrel Gatling guns. She also fired a barrage of missiles at Seth, but the white hair boy quickly returned the favor by firing his own barrage of GN missiles at the girl. The new type of missiles surprised many with their smaller size, but they were faster, more agile, and had a bigger explosive damage. Charlotte's missiles were destroyed and now she had to worry about an incoming barrage of GN missiles.
Tatenashi open fire on Seth with her lance. However the three bits created a triangle shape shield and blocked the incoming attack. The bits open fire on the Russian representative. However the bits' attack suddenly stopped and started attacking Charlotte. Seth charged in to attack Tatenashi.
He unleashed a massive volley of GN particle shots, however Tatenashi was able to avoid the shots. Seth used grapple beam on Tatenashi and pulled her towards him. Tatenashi tried to stabilize herself, but Seth kicked her preventing her from regaining her stability. Seth fired two shots from his GN cannons. Tatenashi dodged one of the shots, but the second one hit and she lost 500 points. Things were starting to look bad for her, but she suddenly had a stroke of good luck. Charlotte destroyed the last bit that [B.L.A.Z.E.] launched and now she started to attack.
Charlotte fired all the missiles she had at Seth and unleashed all of her Gatling guns. The massive barrage was forcing Seth to focus on Charlotte. While Seth was focus on Charlotte, Tatenashi made three water clones. Seth had to work fast. He had finally gotten the upper hand on Tatenashi and like hell he was going to pass it up. He brought out an energy blade, but instead of fighting Charlotte up close, he revealed that the energy blade could be detached and held like a normal sword. Seth threw the energy blade at Charlotte.
The whole crowd in the stadium was shocked at Seth crazy action. However Seth revealed why he did throw the sword. Seth created a blue sphere in his right hand and fired the beam at the energy blade. The blade, as it spun lacerated the energy beam and created a shower of energy waves that hit [Joan Of Arc]. Seth's attack drained the last of Charlotte's energy points. Now he could focus on Tatenashi. As he returned to fighting Tatenashi, he saw two of them charging him. He guessed that they were clones. The water clones were too close for Seth to charge up a beam. Left with no other option, Seth threw his GN rifles swords at the water clones and self-destructed the swords. The blast destroyed the clones and created a large cloud of mist. Seth moved back to avoid the nanomachine infested cloud. The third clone appeared. Seth fired a shot from one of his GN cannons that vaporized the clone, however the real Tatenashi appeared with the lance of mysteltainn and trapped Seth. The only opening for Seth was to move backwards, but the cloud of mist were closing in and Seth was falling into Tatenashi's trap. He was left with no other choice.
"Trans-Am!" Seth yelled as [B.L.A.Z.E.] began to glow red.
"It's too late for that!" Tatenashi roared as she was moments away from hitting Seth with her lance. As her lance was about to hit Seth, the innovator's eyes began to glow yellow with an electric pattern in them and he began to turn into GN particles. Tatenashi was visible shocked at what she just saw.
"What happen?" Before she could even process what she just saw, Seth reappeared on her left. He had an energy blade out and slashed at Tatenashi. The current president raised her lance and was able to block a direct hit, but she was knock back. She bursted through the cloud of mist and tried to recover, but Seth quantized in front of her and kicked her in her side.
"Gomen." A familiar voice said to Tatenashi in her head moments before Seth quantized once more and slammed Tatenashi into a wall. His right hand began to glow a dark red.
"Energy Drain!" Seth roared as he slammed the hand into Tatenashi and drained the last of her points. The buzzer rang declaring a new student council president.
Over The Next Few Days.
Friday was a day of celebration for the new student council president. Tatenashi held no feelings of resentment towards Seth for taking her position, in fact she was happy that he did. Luckily she would remain Russia's representative. Several countries wanted Seth to become their representative, but he refused. Together with Misato and Ritsuko, Seth was able to successful transfer from the BSAA to WILLE legally. They were also able to secure [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.]'s contracts from the United States. Things were looking good for Seth. Today was Akikaze first day of preschool and he had gotten him ready for his first big day. Seth was glad that he had an upcoming trip to Kyoto in two weeks, but right now his attention was on Akikaze.
"Say cheese." Seth said as he took a photo of Akikaze in his preschool uniform. Suddenly the door open and Tatenashi saw Seth was taking picture of Akikaze.
"Ara ara, is today Akikaze's first day of school?" Tatenashi asked as she saw the uniform Akikaze was wearing. She thought the yellow hat looked adorable on him.
"Yup."
"Seth would you like me to take a picture for you?" Tatenashi asked.
"Please do." Tatenashi took a photo of Seth with Akikaze in his uniform.
"Thanks. Oh crap, we need to get moving. Akikaze say bye-bye to mama." Seth said teasingly as he picked up Akikaze.
"Bye Mama!" Akikaze said as Seth rushed to make the train. Before he left Seth decided to play a small prank on the girl.
"Later darling." Seth said as he gave Tatenashi a light kiss on the cheek. The former student council president began to blush a shade of red that many thought would be impossible for a human. Seth wanted to enjoy Tatenashi reaction a little bit more, but he had to get moving. He left the room with a bewildered Tatenashi sitting on his bed.
"Mama huh, that has a nice ring to it." Tatenashi began to imagine Seth, Akikaze, and herself living in a house together.
"That would be nice." Tatenashi allowed herself to enjoy her mental fantasy for a little bit before he began to move.
