Aries, lets battle!

[Steel]

Steel climbs into his P-2 Regolith Gundam. He jumps into his seat and flicks a few switches, bringing the main systems online.

He looks out into the distance from the open-cockpit. All that can be seen, is the Neo-MSPB, buildings such as hotels related to the Neo-MSPB and a few desert roads. But otherwise, it is totally barren.

The ground is mostly hard, dry ground, and not very "sandy" making it a good place to perform MS combat.

The Regolith is equipped with the non-nuclear arsenal.

"Aries, when are you gonna get here?"

[DarkAries]

*Aries groans, a bottle of scotch in his hand, as he half-falls into his MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen's cockpit. The entire Mobile Suit is painted in desert camoflauge colors to make things a little tough on Vannie-boy. He's obviously quite drunk, else why would he be late, yet he somehow manages to buckle in and get things online.*

Aries'll tell YOU when he's had enough, dammit...

*He puts his goggles down over his eyes as the giant hover units built into the Dom Tropen's legs come to life. The Dom itself carries its signature Raketen bazooka in its right hand and a smaller MMP-80 machine gun in its left.*

*His sensors come online and the monoeye lights up and moves about in its cross-shaped socket.*

"Ah..it is certainly about time you got your ass here."

Steel graps the hatch and slams it shut before buckeling up in his seat. He then proceedes to bring the moniters online.

The shield lifts off the ground, and pumps out steam with a big hiss through the vents.

Steel then awaits Aries to move.

[DarkAries]

*The hatch on the Tropen shuts, and Aries blinks.*

Oh, hell...

*The Dom takes the safeties off its bazooka and the MMP-80, and its thrusters kick in, the entire Mobile Suit screaming towards Vannie-boy's position on the plains.*

Steel flips his Hyper Bazooka down into his right hand, and gets a confirmed lock onto Aries.

Meanwhile he begins to warm up his boosters.

"What do you mean by 'Oh, hell...' Aries?"

[DarkAries]

*Aries doesn't answer, but turns directly towards Vannie-boy and hits his Beam Scattering Gun.*

*While he doesn't expect to hit much of anything from the range he's at, the light of the blast does create an effective blind for Aries, confusing both the Regolith's sensors and dazzling Vannie-boy's vision.*

*He then hits his port thrust almost instantly on his Dom, the entire Mobile Suit stopping for a millisecond, then rocketing towards its right on its hoverjets.*

*Aries brings up his Raketen bazooka and its targeting, and spits the Regolith's half-concealed torso on it, then cranks off two rounds.*

"Nice try."

Steel ends up having to resort to his 'instinct' and performs a side-step to his left, as only a fool would stand still.

Meanwhile, he covers his eyes and shuts them, leaving one hand on the controls and uses the other to cover his eyes.

The rounds go flying past his right at close proximity, setting off some alarms.

"Shit..that was close!"

Steel then fires off 2 rounds at the ground infront of Aries before firing off his boosters.

[DarkAries]

*While Aries doesn't quite understand the significance of the shots kicking up dirt in front of the Dom, he doesn't pay it much mind.*

*All it does is give him a millisecond's worth of pause before the Dom Tropen bunches its legs and its jets kick in even harder, as the entire Mobile Suit goes into a thrust-aided jump.*

*This time, Aries switches to his MMP-80, less powerful than his bazooka, but quicker, and with more expendable ammunition.*

*He doesn't wait for a target lock this time, but eyeballs the Regolith as best he can and fires, his reticle going red after the rounds are away.*

However, Steel had come round behind Aries, while Aries was destracted by the Bazooka rounds.

Steel had also switched to his Beam Rifle, and was attempting to bring Aries down from the sky with it.

"Come down and play."

(You're gonna need to revise and elaborate that, else Aries is gonna take some creative liscence, Vannie-boy...)

*this is a reply to a PM Van sent me, but I figured it would better serve to reply to it here, sorry Aries*

Van, as near as I can figure Aries is refering to your coming round behind him, which technically, you can't have done. Side-stepping won't bring you around him, and he pretty much stated he plowed directly through the bazooka rounds...he wouldn't have been distracted long enough to get around behind him (then again, due to the explosions he'd not be able to SEE you either...but that's a whole other issue...).

Also, there could be some confusion from your conflicting statements with the beam rifle. You don't actually say you're firing it, for all I know, you could mean you're trying to smack him Dom out of the air with your beam rifle (something Aries can take very large and leathal creative liscense with...).

That's all I can see here, kiddo. Adios.

[Steel]

Okay, I understand after re-reading my post. It was late for me when I posted that.

Basically, because I had my boosters charged up, I boosted round behind Aries while the explosions were going off, and then I was attempting to blow him out of the sky with the Beam Rifle's beams.

Sorry about that.

[DarkAries]

(Damn, Aries was hoping you wouldn't catch that...Aries could have had a lot of fun with that...)

(Plus that, think about it, man. The time it takes for the beams to kick up some dirt in front of Aries and the time it'd take for the VERY HEAVY Regolith to even make a move to flank Aries are very different equations. By the time you started moving, after you fire, Aries would already be getting into the air. There WAS some distance between us, after all, and the Regolith couldn't have sneaked that entire distance to Aries and farther away in just a handful of seconds. Dirt and explosions are over with quickly. You couldn't have used it as a cover unless Aries knocked himself into a concussion for you.)

OOC: That quote shows how I got round. I didn't say that I came round without you knowing, but I would of been able to come round to your flank whether you knew or not.

Also please pardon my slight awkward understanding of what is happening, it has been 2 weeks since I last read this battle. -_-

Battle is CANCELLED with permission from Aries.
No one wins!

(Actually, he was the one who wanted the cancellation. *snickers*)
