Fandom Gundam Build Fighters:NEXT

[Gundam Watcher 27]

The Quantum Raiser threw it's swords away, before ejecting the weapons on the GN Drives and the GN shield as well as the GN Buster Sword IV.

It drew both GN Katars before flying at the Harute, dodging laser fire before slicing a arm off. It then kicked the Harute Gundam away, as Illya slowly felt something awaken.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Oho? This is entailing into worthwhile~

What do you mean....?

Jing mentally questioned the half-Lesser Key Demon residing inside of him.

Now now. Patience's the key. A little glimpse from Clairvoryance would ruin the moment.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Hiro was the first to take notice. "Look! Illya's eyes are-!"
The Quantum Raiser's chest glew dark red as Illya's eyes did the same.

"Trans Am!!!" The Quantum Raiser flew at the Harute, as it sliced off the later's head, and kicked it downwards, but the odd thing was, Amadeo was feeling the pain being inflicted to his gunpla. Illya then did something that shocked everyone, she smirked. Not the confident one, not the goofy one, but an evil one.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

She's already under its full influence....!

This will be thrilling~

Like it will,Amadeo is going to get hurt or worse!

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

The Quantum Raiser would then fly around, evading counter fire, before getting in close. It thrusted both Katars forward and let go, as it Quantized behind the Harute and drew the GN sword V, thrusting into the back. All three weapons connected, as Amadeo coughed up blood.

Illya was feeling no different. She was enjoying this it seemed. Koutei looked towards the others. "Guys! We need to stop her before she kills him!"

However, it seemed someone already went in, as Elizabeth was the first to notice. "Where is Jūdan?!"

Jūdan placed her Dynames custom, while thinking. I Know I hate him, but even Alleluja doesn't deserve this!

"Jūdan Ainsley, Dynames Turbine, Let's go!"

Her Gundam's eyes flashed on, before taking off.

The Quantum Raiser was about to slice the Harute in half, when a beam shot out and shattered the GN Sword V. It quickly turned to look, as the Dynames threw it's Sniper Rifle away and drew both GN pistols, before getting into close range. The Quantum Raiser drew it's long blade, before flying at the Dynames.

The Dynames fired a pistol shot at the long blade, shattering it, before putting the pistol up under the Raiser's head and firing. The Raiser bent back Quickly to avoid it, before throwing a kick. The Dynames ducked, before pointing a pistol at the chest. The Raiser used an arm to push it away from a deadly shot. The Raiser threw a punch, but the Dynames fired it's face Vulcans, the hand shattering.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

"Judan! Keep note of your back! She could quantise anytime!"

Jing yelled to Celestial Being's "Lyle" as he scrambled to get his own Gundam in case things go further awry.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

How right he was. The Raiser would teleport behind the Dynames, but before it could get an attack in, the Dynames flew back, slamming into the former back into a meteor. The Dynames then flew forward before turning around, firing both GN pistols in rapid succession at the opposing gunpla. The chest exploded, as the battle ended. Illya herself collapsing.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

The door to the Battle Room flew opened as both Marie and Jing went to help escort Amadeo out,the pilot of the Harute sincerely thanking Judan before Graham took over Jing's position to help Marie get "Allelujah" treated. Entering back into the room,Jing could only stare quietly at the Gunplas still left on the now-deactivated Gunpla Battle base before looking back at the still-unconscious Illya. Sighing before cursing himself for this,he carried Illya out of the room and left her to rest on a chair.

"......I shouldn't have proposed the idea....."

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Elizabeth shook her head. "We couldn't have known this would happen."
"But the way she acted earlier...." Iris would begin. Hibiki had the same thought. "It's alot like if she was enjoying hurting her opponent."

"That woman wasn't herself." Haruhi would say. That gained some looks from the others. Allenby would nod. "She did feel..... Different when I sensed her feelings. It was as if she was a different person."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

That's what they would always say. Typical of them.

His mouth subtly twitching in anger,Jing once again slammed his palm onto the side of his head,causing pain to not only himself,but also to Gremory.

Enough. I'm tired of whatever mockery you had in mind for everyone else here. We're not some nigh invulnerable untouchable pests like you.

Lowering his palm,Jing went for the door to the store and exited.

"I'll be off for a moment."

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Koutei looked at Jing. "Where are you going?"

-Dark Space-

Illya felt as if she was standing on nothing, just hanging in the sky like a balloon. She felt as if there was no one there, but there was also the feeling of someone being there.

Soon, a gust of red blew past her, before spiraling around into a figure in front of her, sitting in a leather chair with golden arm rests.



(Picture his voice being that of Abridged version)

"Oh great, to think that out of all times you would show up, you turn up during my down time watching my show!"

Illya just looked at the Strange man with a Deadpan expression. "Who are you?"

"Really?! You have no idea who I am, yet you show your face here anyways?! What happened during the years we were apart?! You never left a message or called me saying we couldn't see each other again, that I just stayed here in my own little place in your mind, while you just hogged the glory!"

"I really don't know you."

"Geeze, are all white haired girls this dum- what happened to your hair?!"

He pointed at Illya's Violet tinted hair.

"What are you talking about?! It was a side effect! I didn't do nothing! Now answer me, who are you?!"

The man got up and took his hat off before bowing. "I am Lucifer De Angelo, the high ruler of the 72 Pillars of Ars Goetia. I believe you were given my spirit when that program was created no?"

Illya just looked dumbfounded. "You mean.... You're that device that helped make me 'normal'?"

Lucifer laughed. "I'm not exactly a device. I'm a being from..... Another world I guess. That device your parents had was to supposedly help keep you alive, but what they didn't expect was the fact that I was the spirit who was Summoned into it.... Speaking of which, do you even know how you could hear Gremory when you were with Jing?"

"She's part of Jing. If I can sense his feelings, I can sense her."
"Foolish kid, you can't feel a demon unless you yourself possess one! We demons are impossible to detect unless you possess one!"

"So you are telling me... That I....."
"That fight earlier against Alleluja Haptism was one i just couldn't resist taking over. The smell of bloodshed was too tempting not to pass up, although I did nearly kill him, like with your friend Jing-"

Illya tackled Lucifer, before punching his face repeatedly.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Before he could respond,he heard Gremory speak. This time,she did not sound haughty as always,but she sounded more concerned. Almost as if....she was actually afraid of something. What on earth made her,a Lesser Key,suddenly drop all her arrogance altogether?

W-wha- How...!? Why is he here!?

Who "is here"? What are you up to this time?

Feeling himself losing country of his body as he found his head turned towards where Illya is,he heard Gremory spoke once again.

Lucifer De Angelo! Inside of your friend! How did you not sense him when I'm inside you!?

Eventually,he found himself regaining control again,before sighing as he went towards the still-unconscious Illya.

W-wait,what do you think you're doing? No,please,stop-

Jing place one hand on Illya's shoulder and shook her gently in an attempt to wake her up.

"Illya. Illya,wake up."

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"You Manipulative, self possessing, good for nothing asshole! You nearly made me kill my friends! Do you have any idea what would happen if that came to be?!"

Lucifer noticed a glint of light behind Illya, before saying, "Ah, you showed up in the nick of time!"

Soon, a scream of someone falling, two people actually, fell on top of illya, but not before Lucifer turned to shadow and slithered away a few feet before returning to his Humanoid form.

Illya pushed whoever was on top of her, noticing Jing, and Gremory was there in her.... They were both in her....

"Guys! How did you get in my mind?!"

"While you were unconscious of course. We demons, and their hosts are able to enter each other's minds, but only if one of us is passed out. You of course made it possible."

"Waaaah! I'm sorry Jing!!"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Pwuah I-it's okay! I just didn't think I would actually wind up here somehow.”

Illya noticed that upon their arrival,certain part of the landscape had formed into a desert (which would explain why Jing was spitting out some sand from getting pushed facefirst onto the ground unintentionally). The result of Gremory being in the event it would seem. Speaking of Gremory....she seemed incredibly pissed to be here for some reason...

“You....foolish....!”

She pinched both of Jing's cheeks and started pulling them in anger.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Seems Gremory still has the habit of materializing a desert during visits to other peoples minds, even though the landscape here is in my domain."

"Where exactly are we anyways?"

Lucifer pushed his glasses up.
"My domain is nothingness, the absolute darkness. In other words, the empty Space that wasn't required to have a soft spot to land on safely."
He then silently whispered, "Stupid redhead!"

Of course that remark wasn't unheard, as Lucifer got slapped by her.

"You forget about how it's impossible to enter another domain unless I bring my domain will me! I get extremely tired if I don't!"

"Why don't you just learn to deal with it then? I know I have to with being inside of a female host!"

"That just sounds wrong."

"You know what I meant! I'm the thing that keeps you from going back to being a sickly child! If I'm removed, well....."

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Oh how the mighty has fallen....

Another voice echoed into the domain. Nearby them,a form of cyberpunk-esqe reality in ruins merged with the desert and the darkness. Some blue pixels formed and materialised into another man with a mask.



Gremory,despite having not met this other demon before,looked at him as if he was a particular nuisance from someone she had previously known of.

“Your demonic blood seems to be half of what I've usually seen.....am I supposed to assume that you are either Barbatos or Gusion's child?”

“The former. My cousin isn't with me as we speak.”

“Your deep voice and taller appearance certainly differentiated you and your outside appearance....”

“This is what I looked like if I hadn't required a vessel to safely travel pass different realities without risk of causing an inter-dimensional chaos. That said....”

He turned to look at Lucifer.

“I admit you're the last demon I've expected to meet eye to eye. Especially as someone holding off an illness residing in another person.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Well you know me! The Angelic Instincts within me just couldn't refuse! Besides, you possibly already know why I decided to show myself now of all times."
"And that would be?" Gremory asked, hoping in secret he wasn't about to pull a page from Asmodai's book and Somehow make it all about him.

"Illya, you remember that gunpla which attacked you and Elizabeth?"

"Yes. That gunpla however.... I don't even know it's name."

"Its known as Project Adam. That gunpla is, if you possibly were already aware of, indeed something not of mortal hands."
"But I thought Shindou was the one who created that!"
"He did indeed create it, but the blueprints for it was not something mortals would have found so easily. This Shindou Ikari was most likely getting help from my treacherous nephew Azathoth."

"Just who is he?"

"Azathoth is someone that believes in the fact that humanity is too flawed for it to be salvaged, so he took it into his own hands on destroying it. He must have convinced Shindou of using these prints on making a gunpla that will revive his deceased wife if it can defeat everyone in the tournament. He just doesn't realize that he was being manipulated."

Illya was taken aback. All this time.... Shindou wasn't the enemy.
"And you're choosing to tell me...... Why?"
"Because this tournament you're heading to won't just be fun and games. This tournament is about humanities survival. You Illyasviel, and you Jing Lin, must do what you can to prevent this from happening. I ironically do find humanity enjoyable, and would miss them so much if they were wiped out."

"So we just have to fight Shindou as soon as possible?"

"Don't forget what might happen if you take him too early. You are after all without your so called 'Newtype powers.""

Jing looked away, not wanting to be reminded.

"Those newtype abilities are not fictional Gremory. If anything, I believe Jing has yet to reawaken them. If he does, I believe they will be even more unique than an X Rounder. You two should leave now, but keep what I told you in mind. Also, please don't share anything about this meeting with anyone else, I want to avoid a mass panic."

A flash of light later, Illya woke up, and Jing was.......

Jing woke up, and felt a pillow under him. Wait, there's no Pillow.....

"Er...... Sorry?"
"IDIOT!!!"
She kicked Jing off of her, before getting up and stepping back.

the others stood there, looking as if they were out only for a couple of seconds.

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“What the.......hell.....?”

Jing whimpered weakly,several boxes of Gunplas now piled on top of him. "Noctis" (who had just arrived a few seconds ago) pushed several of them off,allowing the once-an-innovator to poke his head out with a visibly pain expression.

“Funny that being in an "Accel World"-esqe reality didn't exactly stop you two from staying still eh?”

A while later,outside on the hill nearby the shop by the river,Jing and Illya sat there alongside Noct while the rest remained in the plamo store as the three of them talked in private.

“So you were about to ask if I had any good suggestions to help her combat against her violent side until now when you two found out the demon pulling the strings.”

“You could say that. Still.....when Gremory commented about you not looking like you....is it true?”

Looking back at Jing before facing forward silently,he sighed and got up.

“Remember when Lucifer told you that only one host can enter the other's mind if one of them is unconscious? Well...”

Walking down the slop before stopping on steady ground,a blue glowing cube manifested around his right palm.

“That is an outdated information by my world's current age's standard.”

Before both Illya and Jing could react,"Noct" crushed the cube,causing their surroundings to start glitching and manifesting into the aftermath of a fallen kingdom. "Noct" himself was also seen being effected by the techno-glitch before becoming the same person from before who had also entered both Lucifer and Gremory's domain.

“Every other activity around us are currently "paused",to put it simply. And this man standing in front of the two of your would be,so to speak,what I actually am.”

He spoke,looking at both Gunpla Battlers. Jing felt a little awkward that for the second time,someone he's known who was shorter than he was was now suddenly also as tall as he is. To say that he was not slightly unsettled by "No-longer-Noct"-'s deep voice would've been a lie.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"So what's with these Ruins?" Illya would ask. "I'm guessing some kind of war went on, with your side losing?"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Silent momentarily,he shook his head in response and looked at Illya.

“Somewhat.....although this wasn't a war......it was an extermination.”

Just as he had hesitantly answered,some fight formed from the domain depicting the events of the past of the half-demon. There were no voices or any sound. Just actions. Despite that,the visuals were more than enough to show how bad it has been.

Authority figures died escorting several citizens away from the event,some civilians were unfortunately caught between the fire of the "extermination" and had their lives swiftly taken from them. Judging by the environment, whenever "no-longer-Noct" was from,it probably would've fit for a fantasy setting,judging by the clothing of the ones fending off the invaders wearing some uniforms seemingly akin to that of a royal guard. One of them, however,caught Jing's eye. One that looks suspiciously similar to...

“....Was that...?”

There was one who looks exactly like Jing,except the front of his hair was sweep up as to prevent the bangs from obstructing his vision. Somehow,unlike most,he was the only one who singlehandedly fought off and killed several hostiles while it took a few others a combined efforts of a pair of more to handle their situation. Like the rest however,he still found himself getting overwhelmed,where it took more than a sword plunged through his chest to end him at last.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Well..... He did manage to go down fighting. He killed like..... 20? I lost count."
She then noticed a familiar figure, albeit her hair was pure white, but that face.....

"Well I'll be shocked! I never knew I was in this world at one point!"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“You have a counterpart here too?”

“EVERYONE in your world has one, curiously enough.”

The man answered as he looked at the events alongside Illya and Jing.

“The body I'm using in your reality is actually a counterpart of me when I was some mere naive teenager.”

“Come to think of it,we still never got your name.”

“....Nov.”

He answered simply as closed his eyes briefly.

“From what I've seen however,my world wasn't the only world where you have alternate world counterparts.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Just how many other realities are there?"
"I've seen worlds where you were killed by a crazed blonde guy by ripping your heart out,"
Illya put a hand over her chest, her composure dropping dramatically into shock and fear.
"And in another world, you became a 'Magical Girl'. You also had a girlfriend in that reality."
"Oh? Was she Felicia?!"
"She doesn't exist there. However, she did have an unusual resemblance to Gil-Chan."
"I actually have a question. Your name..... Nov correct? Is it like a ninckname or?"

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“It's merely a short way of calling my name.”

“Seeing that you're showing us this......I want to ask....why?”

“....Would you have believed me if I had said that both of you have a chance of dying here in your own world? I've seen that it certainly has been the case for you,Jing Lin,in light of the knowledge that in every single world you're in,you ended up getting killed quite swiftly.”

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Illya clenched her fists. "He may be a target for getting killed in every other world... But I don't believe it will happen here. Not if we work together." Illya then looked at Jing. "Although, after hearing about getting my heart ripped out, I'm fearing my own life now too."
