Tsubasa Kira woke up early today.
After all, the 7th world championship was already underway, and today is the final match.
She grabbed her gunpla and hurried to the hobby shop, which was showing the championship. Sure, she could watch it at home, but watching it with fellow gunpla fans feels much better.
Ever since she was a kid, Tsubasa was a big fan of Gunpla. She has built a good number of them, but her favorite among them all was the Wing Gundam, which was why Ricardo Fellini of Italy became her favorite fighter. Although she was said that Fellini was eliminated, she still decided to continue watching the tournament. She wonders how Sei Iori and Reiji will fight the Meijin.

The fight was intense. At first the Meijin's Exia Dark Matter-apparently he decided to upgrade the Amazing Exia even more-had the advantage, but eventually the Star Build Strike managed to win.
Tsubasa cheered with the rest as the Sei and Reiji were crowned champions.
She then felt someone holding her shoulder.
"Hi."
Tsubasa turned around and saw a girl about her age, with light blue hair.
"Umm, hi. Who are you?"
"My name is Hibiki Tamashi," the girl replied. She noticed Tsubasa's gunpla.
"That's a nice Wing Gundam."
"Thanks. " She nodded to the TV, where Fellini was being interviewed about his opinion on the match. The Fellini was clearly happy about his friends' victory.
"So, you like Gunpla too?" Tsubasa asked.
"I got interested in Gunpla thanks to robotics," Hibiki said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. One day I hope to work at 765 Robotics. They're the most advanced in the field."
"What a weird name," Tsubasa replied.
"You may say that, but what they're doing there is amazing.
So… I really came here because I want to battle with you. I've heard that you're one of the stronger fighters around here."
"Oh, not really," Tsubasa replied.
"Don't be modest, I've seen how you fight. So, how about a match?"

Please set your GP Base
Please set your Gunpla

"Forest, huh…" Tsubasa looked around. Her opponent could be anywhere.
Suddenly there was a blast coming from behind her. Tsubasa quickly dodged and fired her buster rifle in the direction of the blast.
There was an explosion, but Hibiki wasn't caught in it-her Gundam Virsago jumped above, and now fired her weapons at Tsubasa.
Tsubasa blocked with her shield.
HIbiki activated her beam saber, and in response Tsubasa threw away her buster rifle, drawing her own beam saber.
The two clashed swords.
"Not bad!" Tsubasa said.
"Of course. I wanted to test my skills, to see how strong I am."
Tsubasa used her shield as a weapon, ramming it into the VIrsago.
As the Virsago fell down, Tsubasa fired her vulcans, but Hibiki was ready, firing her beams at the same time.
Tsubasa dodged, stored her beam saber back into the shield, and went for her buster rifle.
However it was destroyed, and Tsubasa saw that Hibiki activated the Virsago's chest cannon.
In response, Tsubasa charged forward and slashed at the Virsago, severing it's right arm.
The two were about to clash swords again when suddenly the battle system powered down.
"What's happening?" Hibiki asked.
"This has never happened before," Tsubasa said.
Instantly the store manager hurried to the battle system.
"That's really strange," he said. "None of the usual fixes work."
He looked around the shop.
"Everyone, I'm closing the shop for now. I have to contact PPSE about this."
Tsubasa and Hibiki looked at each other.
"Will we ever fight again?" Hibiki asked.
"I hope so," Tsubasa replied. "That was a good fight." She held out her hand, and Hibiki shook it.

Afterwards it was announced what had happened. PPSE's plavksy particle manufacturer had malfunctioned, and because of that no more plavksy particles could be made.
Tsubasa, like all other gunpla fighters, were saddened at the news. The net was full of discussions about the topic.
It was the relief of everyone when Yajima Trading has announced that Nils Nielsen, one of the competitors in the 7th championship, had discovered how to make artificial plavsky particles.
They don't call him the 'Early Genius' for nothing, Tsubasa thought.
Immediately Tsubasa tried looking for Hibiki, but she couldn't find her anywhere. Looks like the rematch will have to wait. Meanwhile, she has more pressing matters on hand…

An announcement was made of the new team battle format. Tsubasa decided to form a Gunpla Battle club.
She was mildly surprised when her application was approved immediately.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, we don't have such a club before, so why not?" said the student council president. "Despite you're just a first year here, I think it's good that a gunpla club will be established, so that UTX can compete in tournaments."
"Thank you!" Tsubasa replied.
Now it was just a matter of getting members….

This chapter is more of a background, I guess.
What do you think?
The title is a reference to Gundam: The Origin.
765 Robotics is a shout out to Idolmaster, which I've just started watching.
