Gundam CFX-01X Xolani X Advent

The **Gundam CFX-01X Xolani X Advent** *(Pronounced as: Zo-La-Knee-Ex-Ad-Vent)* is an upgraded remake of the CFX-01X Xolani and CFX-01X Xolani X in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Phantoms of The Cosmos. It is piloted by Sora Kato.

## Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Xolani X fought a fierce battle against Kushiel on the outside of the suburbs of Mars, being so damaged from said fight it was sent to Boryokudan's MS Workshop for a major upgrade. Data samplings from the fight against Kushiel was also conducted during the overhaul. To match the combat data of Sora, who was had been evolving his compatibility of his GUND-System, the machine's response speed was increased to the limit of its theoretical value. Movement of the frame's joints were also delicately tuned to match the pilot's actual sensations. The suit's cockpit hatch was combined its predecessors' top opening method with a front opening style to have a tougher area in front of the Cockpit. It also has a special Form Change ability it can do with its GUND-Bits by using the G-Funnel's snap together feature.

To more intuitively reflect Sora's fighting style, the arms were enlarged and elongated like a beast and was equipped with even more weapons. The arms' frame structure was also upgraded and reinforced. The tail parts of the Kushiel were implanted onto the its back, and using the GUND-System, it can be controlled like it was a limb they had always had. Overall, the Xolani X Advent is customized for close combat, and its silhouette gives it a more ferocious look than its predecessors.

The word "Advent" is used for the definition of "A coming into Place", which fits since this is the mark of Sora's most important character development of not needing to use violence first; Understanding the power of words and trust. It also fits since Sora wants to let everyone come to a place where they can be happy.

No matter how damaged the Xolani X Advent can get, this is the final version of Xolani, though it does get upgraded with tech and even has it's own special variation it can be, known as the Xolani X Advent SiN

## Armaments

* **Head Vulcans**

Two firing ports are built into the head. These are weak rapid firing beam weapons (which can switch out the beams for bullets of equal strength) used for checking enemy movement, damaging equipment, etc etc.

* **G-Funnels**

Xolani X Advent's GUND-Bits are the G-Funnels, GUND-Bits that can detach from the main body of the Mobile Suit and can make equipment like shields by snapping together, firing beams to help in fights, and make energy barrier/shields for more defense. These can be used to enter it's knight form.

* **Beam Saber**

A close combat weapon that makes a beam blade spring forth by the linkage with the grip's sensors. The holder part rotates forward when taking it out from the mount holder on the back. Although the blade is slender, it can be extended and shorten, and has high cutting power. It also functions as a beam shield if it is rotated at high speed while being held. Xolani X Advent has two Beam Sabers on it's backpack.

* **X Rifle**

Though not used as much anymore, the Xolani X Advent keeps its Beam Rifle from it previous version. Stored on the backpack's mount when not in use, it detaches and uses built-in thrusters to automatically be equipped on the Xolani X Advent's hand.

* **X Buster**

Using the G-Funnels, they can attach to the Beam Rifle to make the weapon a much more powerful weapon, nicknamed "The X Buster".

* **Skofnung Ulfberth**

A sword specifically made for the Xolani by Boryokudan. It has a powerful blade that can cut through Mobile Suits' armor easily, and frame if it's slashed well enough, as well as having 2 holes on the handle of the Skofnung Ulfberth where the Blade starts that can fire beams not as powerful as the rifle, but still useful. The Xolani can control it remotely and send it to itself thanks to the technicians at Boryokudan using the same technology as the GUND-Bits to make it have all of their properties except for the ability to create energy shields/barriers.

* **Ridill Ulfberth**

A sword specifically made for the Xolani X by Boryokudan. It has a flat-headed and wide end that can be used to take away the enemy's weapon. It's also a great weapon to parry beams, bullets, and even parry and block melee weapons. The Xolani can control it remotely and send it to itself thanks to the technicians at Boryokudan using the same technology as the GUND-Bits to make it have all of their properties except for the ability to create energy shields/barriers. It also has hand-guard so that it's nearly impossible to knock it out of the Xolani X Advent's hands to begin with

* **Twin Gram Ulfberth**

A pair of short swords specifically made for the Xolani X. (Fun Fact: While the Xolani X's were based on the Norse versions of the Blades of Chaos, Xolani X Advent's were based on a combination of them and the Blades of Athena.) They're main purpose is for very quick attacks, made better if the enemy isn't guarding their weakpoints. They are also useful for hooking onto opponents when using them to stab with them. The Xolani can control it remotely and send it to itself thanks to the technicians at Boryokudan using the same technology as the GUND-Bits to make it have all of their properties except for the ability to create energy shields/barriers.

* **Twin Tyrfing Ulfberth**

A pair of long swords specifically made for the Xolani X Advent. While they aren't as wide as the Skofnung Ulfberth, they are longer instead, leading to be able to use them in more ranged combat. The Xolani can control it remotely and send it to itself thanks to the technicians at Boryokudan using the same technology as the GUND-Bits to make it have all of their properties except for the ability to create energy shields/barriers.

* **Twin Angurvadal Ulfberth**

A pair of swords specifically made for the Xolani X Advent. They aren't as wide as the Skofnung Ulfberth, they are a little shorter than the Tyrfing Ulfberths either, instead these can snap together to make one dual edged sword-staff. The Xolani can control it remotely and send it to itself thanks to the technicians at Boryokudan using the same technology as the GUND-Bits to make it have all of their properties except for the ability to create energy shields/barriers. These are mounted on the shoulders, but when entering Knight Form, they become part of the Knight Form's shield.

* **Tail Blade**

The Kushiel's tail parts were transplanted onto Xolani X Advent's back, and combined with a blade made of rare metal for better close combat performance. The resulting tail blade can retract or extend to strike opponents as directed by Sora through the GUND-System, and is useful for one against many or other unfavorable combat situations.

* **Advent Nail**

Due to the Advent Nails mounted on the fingers, the arms of the Xolani X Advent can function as powerful weapons that can pierce opponent machines. Like the Tail Blade, the Advent Nails and the suit's toes are made of rare metal.

* **20mm Gun**

Each forearm can contain a built-in 200mm gun. This is a further development of the Xolani X's.

* **Arm Rocket Launcher**

Close to mid-range shooting weapons that fires 2.8m long rockets. Like the 200mm gun, they are mounted on the forearms via rail slides that absorb recoil. The launchers normally face backwards and will rotate forward when used. If required, they can be fired while facing backwards. Close combat weapon can be held in hand while the launchers are equipped.

* **Smoothbore Gun**

The same weapon as used by its previous version Gundam Xolani X and a few other MS. It is a 300mm caliber gun with a 60mm machine-gun at the bottom, though its emphasis was placed on power rather than accuracy. Although it is produced for use mainly in zero gravity environment and space, it seems to function fine when used under gravity.

* **Heel Bunker**

The Xolani X Advent is equipped with Pile Bunkers on each heel.

## Special Equipment & Features

* **GUND-System**

The GUND-System is a technology for interfacing the brain of the pilot with the Gundam's computer and process the data. It also allows the pilot (even uneducated ones) to operate mobile suit for combat without reading the instruction manual. It's also the reason why the Gundam can use the GUND-Bits. If too much data is used with the system, it can damage the pilot's nerves.
