First Battle

[spiceracksargent01]

Axl proceeded to the arena at a steady hover, going over his systems and making sure all his weaponry was fully armed as he went. This would be his first real battle and he wanted to make sure that the Sharp-Shooter was ready for it. The arena coming into view, he took in a deep breath as he prepared himself for the battle. From what he read from a pre-battle report of his opponent and MS, he would definitely need luck in this Sniper vs. Sniper battle, especially given how much more powerful his opponent's MS seemed to be when compared to his essentially basic GM. 20 more minutes passed in silence as he closed in on the arena before jumping into the battleground, waiting for his opponent. Engaging the Sniper Scope on his GM, he began surveying the area, searching for his opponent seeing as how it would be sniper vs. sniper in this battle.

[DovenWolf]

Dust had been waiting for his opponents arrival, and once the GM had come he made his way into the arena. This was the ground arena, no real cover or vantage points, which would make any form of sniping difficult. That was unless you had a way to give yourself either of those 2 things. He grinned and took up his battle posistion, letting his opponent know he was ready.

[spiceracksargent01]

Upon seeing his opponent take a battle stance, Axl knew the time to test out the Sharp-Shooter had come. With a brief nod of his GM's head, Axl engaged his Stealth Unit and quickly hit his boosters to change his position in a strafe while bringing his GM's Beam Sniper to bear. Taking careful aim at the Over-Flag's left knee, he swiftly let loose a streak of energy from the muzzle of the energy-based sniper rifle, hoping that the shot would be able hinder the Flag's maneuvering capabilities on foot.

[DovenWolf]

Dust grinned seeing the GM acitvate its stealth unit, thankfully it wasn't too advanced and even without using his heat sensors he could partially make out the suit, he activated them however for a more precise reading and manuevered his Overflag quickly away from the sniper and around, knowing better than to stand still against a sniper. Thankfully the Overflag has speed in spades and he got out of the way of the shot quickly.

Now that he had a bead on his enemy he released 5 of his bits, using them to drop smoke grenades across the entire field, thanks to his heat sensors he could still see fine through the smoke, which he used to his advantage as he strafed is gatling gun around his opponent, fires both of his beam gun shields at him, Fired his Long Gun Kai aiming for the GM's head, and sent his now empty grenadier bits to roughly bang into the GM.

[spiceracksargent01]

"Dang...Where'd he go?" Asked Axl to himself at his opponent's rather sudden counter attack. He knew his opponent would be fast, but this blew him away. First, his opponent evaded the shot with seeming ease. Then he had deployed a number of bits which dropped some kind of grenade all around him, blinding him with thick plumes of smoke. Then he got bombarded out of nowhere with gattling gun fire, beam gun fire, and a sniper round that took out his primary camera, disabled the sniper scope, and seriously screwed with his telemetrics, causing the GM to nearly lose its balance and fall face-first into the ground. To seemingly add injury to insult, his opponent then began using the now empty bits to bash him from all sides. Switching to the sub-camera and regaining his balance, he quickly took aim at the bits as best he could and let loose with his vulcans and machine gun Shields while at the same time trading his Beam Sniper for the SubRoc Gun.

[DovenWolf]

Dust couldn't help but smile, he didn't think his opponent would have this much spirit. Even after all of that he still stood back up and even managed to take out 3 of the 5 bits he sent out. He recalled the 2 that remained and had them back in their holder before he threw out a grenade from each holster, one cracker and one smoke, directly at the GM.

He moved around in an arch pattern slowly moving closer to the GM as he fired his gatling gun in a random spray towards it.

[spiceracksargent01]

Seriously getting annoyed at how his opponent was toying with him, Axl quickly did his best to dodge as two more grenades landed right near his GM. One proved to be another pesky smoke grenade while the other detonated with a bright flash, revealing it to be a cracker. Axl then noticed a rotating pattern to the gattling gun fire and, using that, aimed and fired the SubRoc Gun where he predicted his opponent would most likely be next, sending a quartet of rockets jetting through the smoke in that direction.

[DovenWolf]

Dust had seen the rockets fired thanks to his heat sensors and went to work, firing off his gatling gun to knock out 2 of them, the other 2 making impact on his shield causing a good amount of damage to it. He kept getting closer, making his pattern more randomized now, but always coming closer to the suit, he sent 10 bits out all dropping cracker grenades, 8 of them dropping the grenades in a circle around the GM while 2 tried to drop theirs on top of it. He fired off hhis gatling gun once more this time aiming at the GM's legs

[spiceracksargent01]

"Drat...He saw through it" mumbled Axl when he saw two of his rockets explode from gattling fire. He then noticed 8 more grenades land right near him and quickly hit his boosters and backpedaled as quickly as he could moments before two more grenades landed right where he had been, all 10 proving to be crackers as they blew up in bright flashes of light. Having also gotten clear of the smoke cloud, he deactivated his stealth unit, deeming it redundant since his opponent could somehow see him anyway, and immediately went around the cloud as fast as the GM would let him while taking aim at his opponent with the machine gun shields and SubRoc Gun.

[DovenWolf]

Dust was stunned as his opponent didnt seem to take a scratch from any of the 10 grenades that had exploded all around him, even the ones he went beside as he went back. He wondered how his circle formation failed, but stopped wondering as his enemy started to attack once more. The rockets didnt stand a chance this time as both beam cannons and the gatling gun made short work of them, the machine gun fire hitting some on his shield and on his suit, but nothing major. He sent all 10 bits that were out now to all bash into the GM as he backed up, throwing out some more smoke and firing through it at the GM's legs once more, but with his Long Gun Kai.

[spiceracksargent01]

"More smoke...like that'll help him..." Said Axl to himself as he rocketed up into the air in booster-aided leap at his opponent, dodging a sniper shot in the process as well. Deciding to try and match his opponent in the one thing that neither seemed well equipped for, he pushed through the bits and put away the SubRoc Gun and drew his Serrated Sword while diving at his opponent.

[DovenWolf]

Dust smirked and pulled his Buster sword, holding it sideways and using it as a shield to block your serrated blade, you were now in point blank range of his Gatling Gun which he fires at you, the bits moving in to hit you from behind

[spiceracksargent01]

Pulling up the left arm shield to block the gattling, Axl then quickly side-stepped after a while of maintaining the saber-lock (and having his shield pummeled by gattling fire), causing the Bits closest to his GM to come charging straight back into the Over Flag using them. Using this distraction as his chance he then made a swipe at the Over Flag's knees while firing the unoccupied Machine Gun Shield at the other Bits.

[DovenWolf]

Apparently his opponent had underestimated his level of control over his bits, once they GM had moved they followed, avoiding him altogether, heading straight toward his arms and legs. Meanwhile the GM tried to do a sweep move which the Overlfag jumped over, swinging down the large Buster sword as he did toward the GM, Gatling gun firing down as well as both Beam cannons once they were angled properly

[spiceracksargent01]

Realizing that this would take longer than he thought, Axl barely had time to register before the bits, clearly not falling for what he tried to pull, began pummeling his arms and legs, leaving no chance to retaliate. To further add injury to insult, his opponent had leapt over his swipe and brought his own melee sword to bear. choosing to lose an arm over potentially his torso if it meant dealing a good blow, Axl quickly did his best to swerve such that the blade only cut into his GM's shoulder while bringing his sword up in a stab at his opponent's wrist.
