Walter vs. Kristopher

[Vangran]

Walter entered the arena in his GM mass production model with his prototype beam sniper rifle at the ready and his bits deployed. He wasn't going to take any chances in this fight.

[korrag4]

Kristopher sat with his arms crossed as the Genoace strolled into the Arena. Removing his glasses and placing them to the side of his seat in a container he took a deep breath and then gripped the controls. Once the machine was in place, it took it's long gun from it's back mount and held it idly. At this time, the visor glowed and both the Vulcan and the shoulder mounted Cannon twitched into place, aiming at their target.

"I'm not counting on winning while all your bits are out, but you can guarantee I'm going to give you hell before I hit the floor."

As he finished speaking the Genoace spread it's stance and raised the rifle up in aim. The posture of the machine was more than enought to indicate the coming storm.

[Vangran]

Walter grimaced at the sight of the Genoace. Its array of weapons was formidable, but so were his GMs. Bringing his beam rifle to bear on the other suit, he sent a single message to his opponent.

"Welcome to the arena!"

And with that he opened fire with his rifle, and ordered five of his bits to converge on the Genoace as well and begin the barrage.

[korrag4]

"Not yet!"

In an instant after the GM had unleashed it's barrage, the Genoace threw itself backwards, kicking up a dust cloud in it's wake. Before the cloud had time to settle, a shell from the Long Rifle had bolted outward, piercing the veil and clearing all the dust behind it.

Behind the cloud, there was the Genoace with streaks of glowing red metal showing where the beams had almost connected.

[Vangran]

Hearing the bang of the Genoaces long gun, he leapt to the side, only to almost fall over as his shoulder was pierced by the bullet. Rotating his shoulder cannon, he fired at opposing suit. Lifting up his sniper rifle, he fired again. At the same time he had his five bits reinforced with the other five and had them open fire on the suit as well.

[korrag4]

Seeing that he had landed a good hit gave him some reassurance, but the feeling didn't last long as the HUD showed 10 targets aligning to fire at him. He drew his breath and held it as he jettisoned forward, straight toward his assailant.
During the charge, he placed the rifle on his back and grabbed the wrench from his side. After clearing the almost settled cloud, his managed to avoid most of the bits barrage, although there were now some deep dents in the Genoace shoulders and forearms. The rifle shot had also connected, leaving a large molten gash on it's left collarbone area. Taking the wrench in both hands, he lifted it skyward and brought it crashing down.

[Vangran]

He watched the Genoace charge right at him after being hit by his rifle, but it seemed that it was time for close combat. The wrench the opposing suit swung came crashing down but because of the time it took for him to cross the arena, Walter was easily able to leap out of the way. Putting his rifle on his back, he drew his beam saber and took a defensive stance.

In the meantime, the bits were making their way back across the field and opened fire as they came in range.

[korrag4]

Before he could steady himself and regain a fighting stance, Kris saw the bits closing in again. In his mind he cursed them due to the annoyance they tended to cause. As his opponent leaped away, he swung the enormous wrench upward over the Genoace shoulder, boosted into an ascent and unleashed a volley of fire from his Vulcan and Cannons at the oncoming bits. The sooner he could eliminate this distraction, the sooner he could fight properly.

[Vangran]

The bits aren't overly fast, and as such were not able to dodge all of the bullets from the Vulcans and the suits cannons. Two were instantly destroyed by the onslaught and three others sustained heavy damage. But they kept on firing.

With the Genoaces attention on the bits, Walter was able to aim his shoulder cannon at its back and release a burst of energy at high velocity at the opposing suit.

[korrag4]

Unbeknownst to his aggressor, he was still alert to the actions of the opponent. The Genoace continued it's vulcan fire while it retreated upwards but the heat from the beam still managed to melt part of the left leg. After attempting to take down two or three more of the bits, the Genoace spun to face it's rival and using the boosters, shot to the GM with lightning speed resulting in the affect of gravity along with his own propulsion. Before reaching his enemy, he maneuvered the wrench overhead and brought it down like blazing meteor about to connect with the surface of a planet.

[Vangran]

Luckily for Walter, he had stayed in his defensive stance and so was able to counter the wrench with a quick parry that brought him to his knees, from where he quickly rolled to the side and took a swipe at the legs, hoping to throw off the weight enough for the Genoace to collapse.

With the destruction of two more bits, they looked like they weren't going to last much longer, so he had three bits withdraw for the moment to allow for a backup incase he needed the extra firepower. The three still close by continued their barrage on the Genoace, only this time they spread out to make it harder to destroy them.

[korrag4]

Due to the weight of the weapon, he wasn't able to fully guard against the incoming beam sabre. Luckily however, he was able to react before the leg was cut to the center. Staggering, the Genoace dragged the wrench across the floor and swung it upward in an attempt to launch his foe into the sky. If he could get him in the air, he could attack from more angles resulting in more assault strategies.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Kris was grinning due to the now almost leveled playing field.

[Vangran]

The resulting blow from the wrench was disorienting, to be sure, but it only succeeded to drive him onto his feet and smash his visor. Shaking himself and quickly regaining his balance, he ordered the three bits close by to each take one side while leaving the front to him and keep attacking. With that, he brought up his saber and charged, swing his saber the hand holding the wrench, hoping to sever it. He only hoped the equilibrium of the other suit was off enough to be unable to react appropriately.

[korrag4]

Using such a large weapon was something that required a lot of skill. This skill was control of the momentum and direction that said weapon was carrying. Skill that Kris had mastered long ago.

Allowing the wrench to fly in a full arc over him by releasing one of the hands and turning to accommodate, once the wrench collided with the ground he regained his grip with both of the machines hands and swung it horizontally at the GM to meet its blow with his own strike. Unfortunately this would now allow for any evasion resulting in the armor being battered. Using the shoulder mounted cannons however, it was able to retaliate to the two bits to its sides.

[Vangran]

The cannons destroyed two of the three bits surrounding him leaving only the bit at its back. Luckily for him, his own cannon was fully charged and he fired straight at the Genoaces chest. He was only glad the fool hadn't attacked him with his cannons. Cause at this close range, they would have won him the match.

The remain bit kept up the assault, but it was not enough to inflict damage, so he called the other three back and had them join it in its attack. He also aimed his vulcans at the the suit and fired off a round.
