Axl was doing his usual check on the Sharp-Shooter's systems. From what he had read of his pre-battle report, he was slated to go up against a relatively new opponent who had some real skill, managing to beat the Fighter and tie with Leon. The report also said that his opponent's machine was an all-around geared primarily for melee combat, this could get tricky. With the check complete, Axl drew his Prototype Gundam Beam Rifle in his right hand, SubRoc Gun in his left, and simply waited for his opponent at one end of the arena.

Valen entered the arena at a walking pace. Upon seeing his opponent he nodded respectfully before drawing his rifle and beam saber. Today he was to face a fellow Strike member, he planned to give it his all. After a final system check he switched into a combat stance and waited.

Axl gave a brief nod of his MS's head, taking in the fact that his opponent, a fellow Team Strike member, was using an MS he didn't recognize. Must be Valen and his Shaldoll, one of the prototypes Scrap-Tech had told him about. This could get interesting. Flicking a switch in his cockpit, Axl activated the Stealth Unit on the Sharp-Shooter and instantly went into action, firing his Prototype Gundam Beam Rifle at Valen's sword hand and the SubRoc Gun at Valen's right leg, sending a high-power beam and 4 small rockets at their designated targets. As this happened, Axl warmed up his unit's thrusters so he could readily shift positions to keep hidden from Valen.

Diving into a crouching roll to the left Valen somehow manages to block all the attacks with his shield, which is immediately destroyed from the combined assault. Placed onto the defensive Valen activates his own stealth system and becomes completely invisible.

Axl smirked from within his cockpit. Valen had a stealth unit on that Shaldoll. That'll make this fight all the more fun. Still charging his Guncannon, Axl aimed at the ground just in front of where Valen was last visibly seen, Axl fired his SubRoc Gun again, hoping to use the dust kicked up by the impact and detonation of the 4 small rockets to expose Valen's suit to attack.

Valen hovered safely overhead. Disengaging his stealth system, he aimed and fired at the source of the assault with his rifle in mode 3. To ensure some damage is done he also deploys the Machine Gun Bits to bombard the area around his target. Once the attack was finished he reengaged his stealth and moved to a new position.

Axl had called it, instantly veering right, Axl narrowly managed to dodge the beam rifle shot, taking a couple nicks to the left shoulder-mounted Storage Shield from a Machine Gun Bit, and simply waited, trying to think of the possible ways this battle could end.

Valen landed on the surface, disengaging his stealth system and switching his rifle to mode 1 and surrounding himself with the bits for interception.

Axl smirked slightly, his opponent had given him freedom to snipe for a bit, an opportunity Axl would not hesitate to pounce on. Taking careful aim at Valen's bits, Axl unleashed a full-burst attack at the Bits Valen had deployed using his Prototype Gundam Beam Rifle, SubRoc Gun, both pairs of vulcans, his Guncannon, Smooth bore Cannons, and his leg-mounted beam machine guns. Even if Valen had the bits dodge, Axl was sure at least 1-2 bits would be taken out by this full-fire assault, veering back to the left the minute his last gun fired so Valen would be shooting at thin air once he tried to counter-attack.

Believing the assault was focused on him, Valen used the bits as kamikaze missiles to intercept while leaping forward and blocking the beam with his cloak. As he leapt he trades his rifle for his 2nd beam saber and maxed out his thrust, turning invisible as he approached.

glad his shots made their mark and most, if not all of Valen's bits were now out of commission, Axl also made sure from tracking where Valen was charging before vanishing that he was out of Valen's reach still. leading a shot based on his prior observation, Axl fired another shot from the Prototype Gundam Beam Rifle, wondering how Valen would react. This fight was quickly proving to be quite entertaining, particularly since Axl technically had Valen fall into every one of his attacks.

After narrowly dodging the beam Valen began moving in a wide arc to where he believed his opponent was based off the origin of the beam. As he approached he noticed a subtle shimmer in the air. With a grin he dropped his stealth behind Axl and tapped his machine on the shoulder with the bottom of his beam saber hilt. Chuckling about his correct estimation he leaps backwards, salutes, and becomes invisible again.

Ok, now that was sad, even to Axl. How could his prediction have been off? It then occurred to Axl, Valen can't track his movements from a distance if he isn't firing. docking his SubRoc Gun and drawing the Beam Splitter, Axl turned around and backpedaled until his back was to the arena wall, and then waited to see what Valen's next move would be.

Valen disengaged his stealth unit a distance away from Axl. Wielding his bola and a beam saber he tosses the bola towards Axl in an attempt to ensnare and bind it's legs before charging, keeping enough distance behind the airborn bola to keep it from tangling himself and give him plenty of time to make an attack with his saber.

Was Valen really trying to bind Axl? Taking quick aim, Axl dispatched the Bola flying at him with both sets of vulcans before hitting his thrusters to circle right, leading a spread shot from the Beam Splitter at the same time to chaff Valen.
