Video Games
Hayato is in the White Chalice Commons area, setting up a VR kit of the type Gainer always seems so fond of and looking a bit like your grandad when confronted with a DDR pad. Being aloof and mysterious is all well and good, but every once in a while you've got to remind the younger generation of their place. And truth be told he missed piloting. This seemed like a relatively harmless way to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.
By the time his challenger got there, he was pretty sure he had everything set up right.
[The match with Cynthia is being projected on a nearby TV. So watching is totally possible.]

[By which she means, two virtual sticks control everything.]

[He slips the goggles on and picks up the joysticks.]

So you say. But don't forget, I'm a national-level champion at this game!
Hm...there's no proper Getter Machines in here, but maybe you'd do well with a high-speed flight type?
[Cynthia's chosen a well-balanced machine, with stats tuned slightly into more speed and melee attacks at the cost of defense.]
no subject
While he waits for Cynthia to show up, he starts zipping around, getting a feel for the controls, running into walls a few times.]

Here I go!
[Then she dives towards him, the sun at her back!]

Cynthia de-targets the machine in front of her and swings again. Her mech won't have a starting dash before it's swing this way, and she'll strike faster. It's an advanced technique a novice would have no way of knowing about!]

[SHOT DOWN appears on Hayato's screen, along with a respawn timer. He can choose several respawn points.]

[Round two. The totally-not-a-gundam that is Hayato's machine reappears behind a building. It flies up to the top and comes down on top of Cynthia in a copy of her initial attack in the first round. Still a bit clumsy, but he's acting with purpose now rather than simply reacting to everything she does.]

Maybe you should try a different machine...that one doesn't really seem to fit your playstyle.
[Hayato's looking at another SHOT DOWN message. He notices that he can choose beween several other Battlers while he's waiting to respawn, with different combinations of attack, defense, speed, melee, and ranged power.]
no subject
[Next time Hayato pops out, he has a rather different machine. This one has basically no defense to speak of, medium attack power, and is generally not popular due to being too fast for most players to be able to control without running into walls all the time. For the moment his new mech, armed with a lance, is standing still, waiting for Cynthia to make the first move.]
no subject
Newbie mistake. Ah well, it's still his first game...
[Cynthia advances on the Overbattler, firing off shots from her main gun.]

[She'll be down with another attack like that! She tries to spin, her game's computer having no issue keeping up with the machine, but her own eyes, not so much...she panics, and does an inverted barrel roll with her blade extended!]
Spin attack!

Getter-2Hayato's overbattler was long gone by the time Cynthia's counter attack came. A few more flybys didn't have any attacks hidden in them, but they did fill the air with smoke trails, and they made it almost impossible to tell where Hayato was.]If you heard so many stories about the Getter, you should know what Getter-2's specialty was.
no subject
Guess you've finally shaken the rust off, eh?
[Cynthia's trying to keep up and predict Hayato's movements, but she's just wasting ammo at this point, firing at thin air.]

Let's try this, then.
[She changes units to the Steel Lotus, a super slow overbattler that focused on defense and throwing out large amounts of low damage danmaku. It's the closest thing she can think of to a hard counter, though it's hardly something she's used to using.]
[Spawning on the ground, she lets loose in Hayato's general direction, filling the air with anti-air beams. This game's just become a bullet hell.]

[Her
spellcardattack is ending! There's a narrow gap you could slip through!]no subject
Before Cynthia could figure out where it had gone, the wall behind her exploded and her overbattler got a lance in the back.
no subject
[Cynthia grumbles as her machine goes down. The game had probably bugged out from Hayato's raw speed and erratic brainwaves...]
[She sighs. There was only one choice left...who knows, maybe she'd be able to handle it with the piloting she'd recently been doing.]
[Hayato's facing a carbon copy of his own Blitz Valkyrie now. It's pink to differentiate.]
It's the last round, first to 3 points wins it. Don't you dare hold back, old man!

Any reasons I can know and won't force you to kill me, that is.

THIS is a game! Mobile Suits are toys. The Getter is...it's more than a just a machine, more than just a power source.

Well, yeah. Still, as long as it's on our side...

We'll find out in the end.
