Retal strafed around to the flank of the Defiance, continuing to fire at it with his vulcans, aiming specifically at it's right shoulder as the Retaliation curved along a path that would ultimately take it to the back of the Defiance... Steel rotated the Defiance as the Retaliation attempted to come round to the Defiance's flank, and then he immidiatly began straffing to the side again, as well as backing off by going backwards too...
This helped avoid the shots once again, as the range is too great for the Retaliation to be able to hit the more manouverable Defiance at such a range."I'll take you out, just watch me, you little pesk!"

"No, kiddo, you'll just get yourself killed..." Retal glanced off to his right, getting his bearings right and his mind visualizing what was to come, then he opened fire with his vulcans again, strafing to the right and firing his vulcans just off to the left (your right) of the Defiance in a stream of hot lead...

Steel had kept heading backwards, and still straffing, and was now straffing left seeing the rounds coming in to the right of himself..."I doubt that by a long way. You may be one of the best, but that doesn't mean you are unbeatable!" Steel screams on the com to Retal.
He then brings the right arm up, still holding the Avenger rifle in the right hand....

He then brings the right arm up, still holding the Avenger rifle in the right hand.... "Your suit is more agile, yes, but can it deal with multiple-front attacks? I wonder..." Retal said with an evil smirk on his face as he watched the Defiance moved left. He closed his eyes as he stopped strafing, visualizing his next move. "Fin funnels, get him!" Laying on the ground behind the Defiance was the fin funnels Retal had earlier dropped, and as Retal opened up his 90mm's and pumped lead to the left (your right) of the Defiance as he moved forwards along the right (your left) side of the Defiance, spraying lead at it's torso while four beams raced forwards towards it's legs...

However, Steel was still straffing to his left, and so, just rotated his suit round to the right by about 90 degrees.
He meanwhile leveled the right arm at the funnels which had no missed the Defiance, and the Funnels were then sprayed by 90mm Gatling fire, destroying them.
Steel also took into account where Retal was coming in at and stopped Retal's movement by firing two beams from the left Avenger Rifle into the Retaliations path...."It seems so that I and this suit can take what you throw at us pretty well..."

"So you think!" The Fin funnels were destroyed, but they had served their purpose. Retal pumped up his acceleration to the maximum, then strafes hard to the right, avoiding the first beam, then stopping hard and strafing back to the left, still firing his gattlings, leaving little room for the Defiance to evade without SOME damage as the second beam missed completely as well...

To counter the incoming fire, Steel uses multiple thrusters and clever control of the hoverjets to send the Defiance into a slide down, with the 'ass' of the Defiance sliding along the ground.
So, the result was the weapons fire zoomed passed the front of the Defiance, but completely missed.
Now, with the clever use of the Hoverjets, Steel increased output to push the Defiance 'up' while it was on it's back, causing the hoverjets to kick up lots of dirt and dust from the ground.
Meanwhile, as the hoverjets started pushing the Defiance again, Steel fired both Avenger rifles twice towards the general area where the Retaliation was last knovn to have been...
He then powered up the backpack boosters, and as the fire had passed, Steel slammed the booster output to max, sending the Defiance up into the air while still traveling fast backwards, but completly out of view of the Retaliation..."Not good enough..."

"Again, so you think..." Retal muttered more to himself than to Steel as he simply fired off his own hoverjets, rising the Gundam up higher with the help of the UBP's pointed downwards at full burn, rocketing the Gundam straight upwards, sending Steel's fire passing below the Retaliation's legs. Retal brought his two avenger rifles together as he rotated the UBP's upwards and back slightly before cutting them off, sending the Gundam rocketing back towards the ground, the combined Avenger rifles held out in front of it in a firing position."I can still sense you, Steel. Smoke and mirrors will not deter me." The Retaliation seemed to be on a collision course with the ground, however, at the last few seconds Retal kicked in every downward-firing thruster he could bring to bear (except for the hoverjets), slowing down the Retaliation enough so that when it landed it dropped hard to one knee, scraping that limb across the ground as it continued skidding forwards from it's own momentum. Retal moved the UBP's downwards again and fired them and the combined rifles at the same time, tracking his fire upwards slightly to accommodate the Defiance's higher elevation, and knowing that by the time the Defiance saw what was coming, the beam would have already spread too wide for it to avoid completely.
Thus, the Defiance was moving back and upwards relative to the Retaliation, which itself was moving forwards and up, firing a wide-spread beam at the Defiance...

Thus, the Defiance was moving back and upwards relative to the Retaliation, which itself was moving forwards and up, firing a wide-spread beam at the Defiance... Yes, Steel would not have time to see the beams, but the sensors could see the beams in no time, especially when beams are hot, and thermo sensors would detect them before they even left the barrels...
And so, with the alert noises going off, Steel pulled back both control arms, opening the chest thrusters revealing 4 nozzles (2 per thruster unit). They immidiatly fired and sent the Defiance down hard, with the beam clipping the top of the Defiance's head, taking off the very top of the V sign, and damaging the main camera.
However, this was little concerne for Steel as he was now firing all the thrusters he could to break the rapid fall, and the Defiance landed hard on it's back, bending and buckaling (sp?) the backpack slightly inwards, but mechanically sound still...

"Damn you little..." Retal stopped firing his Avenger rifles and split them apart, returning them to their racks as he opened up with his vulcans as he passed over the Defiance, cutting off his thrusters and recharging them, using momentum to glide over the Defiance's location...

Retal stopped firing his Avenger rifles and split them apart, returning them to their racks as he opened up with his vulcans as he passed over the Defiance, cutting off his thrusters and recharging them, using momentum to glide over the Defiance's location... But the Defiance rose up into the Retaliation's path, as Steel had been intending to go back into the air to right himself.
However, he wasn't expecting the Retaliation to be in the air at the same time, and so, collision is almost unavoidable.
To react to this situation, Steel opened up both gatlings and beam rifles onto the mid-air Retaliation, leading his shots if the Retaliation tried to out manouver the Defiance.
Plus, by the time the two would be in the air, the Defiance's backup sensors and cameras would of kicked into action."God damnit, why are you so persistant?!?"

"God damnit, why are you so persistant?!?" "Ask my family, I inherited who I am from them..." Retal commented dryly as he responded to the current situation with the utmost calm. As the Defiance rose to smack into the Retaliation, Retal had just racked his rifles and killed his thrusters, so he couldn't avoid it even if he'd wanted to. So he did the next best thing: counter-attack.
He snapped up the Retaliation's arms -both of them- while firing the left shoulder verniers to roll the Retaliation to the right, using his suit's arms to lift up the Defiance's right arm above and to the front of the Retaliation's chest, sending it's fire racing away from the Gundam.
Meanwhile, the left arm fire of the Defiance passed by in front of it as the Retaliation's thrusters roared to life once more...

But, then the Retaliation was met by a very hard kick from the right foot of the Defiance, as with the use of the booster, it was a very powerful kick indeed, right into the mid-waist of the Retaliation...
Then Steel fired all the thrusters, backing off from the Retaliation's grip and away, to land on the Defiance's feet once again...

Retal had been hoping for this, thus the reason why he kept firing his left shoulder verniers, joined by the left UBP's turing his Gundam on it's side so that as it's arm let go of the Defiance's and moved to grasp one of the Retaliation's two beam sabers, Steel's kick spun the Retaliation around faster and harder.
As the left arm pulled the beam saber free and ignited it as the Retaliation came around, and Steel fired the Defiance's thrusters to back it away from the Retaliation, the Defiance found itself running straight into a backhanded beam saber slice to its own mid-torso from Retal's beam saber..."Dodge this, little brat..."

Thanks to the Defiance and the core fighter system, Steel did what he only could do, which was to jettison the waist down, to let himself clear the Beam Saber.
So, the Beam Saber of the Retaliation passed through the air which originaly had the waist of the Defiance as the upper part of the Defiance roared up, and the waist + legs fell.
Steel then backed off while remotly controlling the legs to land and use it's hoverjets and thrusters to stay upright.
Then two sections met at ground level and reconnected...
