Within an area of space debris drifts the GAU-X00 Sovereign Gundam. The area has a good number of smashed up battleships, Federation and Zeon from a recent conflict.
Bits of metal and things float around outside and away from the wreckages of the battleships. One ship is borken in two, and in the middle of the two sections floats the Sovereign Gundam, which is obviously minus it's FAU.
Steel is within the Sovereign Gundam. All view screens off and minimal lighting. The Sovereign is running on minimal power as Steel awaits his foe.
"Come now. Lets play Aries."

*Aries brings his goggles down over his eyes with a sigh, and powers up the last of his OZ-17MS-Hg Hyper Serpent's systems, as his carrier unit drops him off behind the shredded hulk of a Musai cruiser. He yawns nice and loud, then hits his stabilizers to correct to somersault roll the Hyper Serpent had been going through. Its backpack storage racks are laden heavily with the twin double gatling guns, and on its right shoulder is the new, deadly, oversized Hyper Cannon, red lights blinking on the side and, one by one, going to green.*
Y'all'd think he'd learn or something...
*Aries doesn't hit his thrusters or anythng just yet, instead bringing up his sensors and doing a full sweep while he still has a chance, his Hyper Cannon still charging while he does so.*

Steel then closes his eyes and relaxes, still waiting for his foe.

*Aries's computer processes the data collected via the sensors, then project a three-dimensional map of the space about him off to his right. The tri-dee map is designed specifically to be used before a combat engagement or reconnaisance.*
*He sighs, the map slowly rotating next to his command chair. A red dot wedged in close between the two broken halves of a Salamis cruiser, small statistics drawn up beside it. Aries pays it no mind for a moment. He had a good idea where Vannie-boy would set up when he first dropped out of the carrier. It's the rest of the wreckage he's concerned about.*
*He wets his lips, doing some mental calculations regarding geometry, physics, and linear movement, then finally finds the perfect piece.*
Oooo-kay.
*He shifts the Hyper Cannon off his shoulder breifly, letting it hang in space beside him, since he needs explosive power, not the liquid nitrogen of the cannon. To that end, his shoulder missile pods pop open, and two targeting reticles coalesce on his display. He magnifies his targeting scope a few times, then targets a detatched hangar section of another destroyed Musai, snapped off at the connecting superstructure. He wets his lips and selects just the right point to hit, then engages his thrusters slowly to get a downward-firing angle on it.*
*Once he does so, he checks his angle, then his map. Then he pumps out four missiles, two from each shoulder pod, which quickly ignite and speed in towards the far edge of the Musai hangar. Each hit in near synchronisity, throwing the hangar into a fast spin, towards the bow section of the Salamis cruiser Steel is hiding inside.*
*Aries quickly takes a brief look at the hangar with his sensors, seeing that the speed, to his immense satisfaction, would be enough to push the two sections of the broken Salamis back together...and squash the Mobile Suit in between.*
*He grins, then closes his pods, hurriedly grabs his Hyper Cannon again, and waits for anything to come up on his board with some velocity.*

That is, until a bleeping goes off. Steel then immidiatly opens his eyes and then a small view image appears on the front screen, showing the missles impacting and causing the wreckage to move.
So, Steel engages his cockpit screens to get a better view and thrusts upwards, out of the mid-section of the ship.
He then scans the area and detects Aries in the area not too far away. But still well out of weapons fire range.
Steel next spun his Gundam to face the Serpent and awaited the Serpent's next move.

*The superstructure of the Salamis connect and crumple, parts of it liberating themselves from the wrecked ship, including the Sovereign.*
*Aries sighs, then turns to face to Sovereign and raises an eyebrow.*
Oh, what...y'gonna die of something?
*He throws up his thrusters and starts rapidly closing on the Sovereign, yelling at the top of his lungs.*

He meanwhile began charging up his VSBR and boosters.

*Aries puts his Serpent into a quick barrel roll to starboard, ducking behind the severed gun battery of a Magellan cruiser, then coming up on the other side of it.*
*A reticle pops up on his screen as he comes into long-range firing distance. He cuts his thrust for a second, drifting on inertia, both hands going to the charged and ready Hyper Cannon.*
Let's try this sucker out.
*The reticle goes red on the Sovereign Gundam, and Aries grins briefly, before pulling the trigger and launching a round at it.*
Play ball!!

Steel had anticipated this move though and was prepared against it. He had already got a confirmed lock just as the round was fired, and immidiatly swung his shield round to his left and fired his VSBR on wide beam mode.
This vaporized the shell, letting the fuel spray out in a nice explosion, but does no harm to the Sovereign due to the distance.
Steel then boosted around the sprayed fuel and in at the Serpent while locking onto the Hyper Cannon. Steel then squeezed the trigger and began firing a continues stream from his suit's Beam Machinecannons at the locked on Hyper Cannon."You'll have to do better than that Aries."

*The entire Hyper Serpent ducks back behind the gun battery, the shots chewing into it.*
*Aries wets his lips, then frowns and tries to negotiate out his situation.*
Can't let that Cannon go to waste...
*He stays behind the battery and waits for Vannie-boy to close.*
C'mon...where's that mistake you always make...?

"What mistake?" Steel ceases his firing and stops in space, but keeps his boosters warm just in case.
He meanwhile deploys 2 of his funnels and sends them around the wreck.
One funnel goes over the wreck and one goes under. Both come at Aries, one from above and one from below at an angle, and immidiatly fire upon the Serpent."Picka-booo!" Steel laughs jokingly.

*Aries reacts quickly, one hand on his targeting stick, the other on his throttle. The Hyper Serpent hits its throttle, lancing forwards inside the arc of the shots. The beam shots cross into battery and do little more.*
*Meanwhile, Aries snap-rolls the Hyper Serpent in space, his right facing the topwards funnel, his left facing the bottomost. His left hand works quickly, drawing a heated 'Army Knife' from its hip armor.*
*Aries grits his teeth, working wholly on adrenaline and microseconds.*
*The Hyper Cannon comes around and its shot lances into the high funnel, the liquid nitrogen quickly spilling out and flash-freezing the machine. It drifts a little before the follow-up explosive detonates, shattering the entire remote weapon.*
*At the same time, the Hyper Serpent's left arm pulls back, then throws the Army Knife it holds. The knife spins through space before lancing blade-first into the bottom funnel. It overloads quickly, and explodes a good deal more spectacularily than its counterpart.*
*Without pausing, Aries stores his Hyper Cannon and brings out both Double Gatlings, taking the safeties off, opening his missile pods and getting ready for Vannie-boy to get over the battery or send his remotes before him.*

I might as well blow him to hell now." From behind one of the other wrecks, the FAU boosts up and comes round to Steel's right flank. It continues boosting in and then flips to point up and connects to the back of the Sovereign Gundam.
Now that the two units are combined, Steel backs off while rotating to point down with the FAU pointing straight ahead at the Gun battery."If I can't come round to you, then I will simply blow through to you." Steel then fired the Mega Particle cannon and the mounted funnels, as well as the beam machinecannons. That was closely followed up by fire from the held Beam Rifle and VSBR.
Meanwhile, throughout the barrage, Steel kept the FAU's boosters warmed.

*The battery took most of the brunt of it, but Aries, already out in front of the gun mount while still using it as cover, had at least a precious second to react that Van hadn't counted on.*
*And his hand, already on the throttle, threw it for everything it was worth.*
*Aries was immediately slammed back into his seat as the Hyper Serpent screamed forwards, rocketing out ahead of the Sovereign's firepower, at one point outdistancing it, before he threw the Mobile Suit into a ninety-degree turn to port that nearly made him black out completely.*
*The Hyper Serpent, now safely behind the ponderous bulk of a half-smashed Zanzibar-class cruiser, takes a moment of rest as the remaining firepower from the Sovereign races past it.*
*Aries gasps, trying to catch his breath, his eyes flicking up to look at the name of the ship absently.*
The Algiers...heh...funny...
*He grins a little, remembering the result of the last war a sovereign had with Algiers.*
*While the irony slips him quickly, a plan rises up a second later.*
*And as Aries stows his Hyper Cannon and brings out both double gatlings, he just starts grinning.*

Steel fires two shots from the Beam Rifle towards Aries while strafing left.
