Hunter Vs. Marco

[Usam1981]

The hunter entered the arena in Jet mode, transforming, right before reaching the arena floor, into mobile suit form, the only form allowed in this particular arena. Her Overflag ready to go, and her weapons fully charged.

Entering the arena, Marco was rather surprised to see the unusual machine before him transforming into a bipedal form. Waiting for the arena supervisors to start the fight, Marco took the time to set his variable beam rifles to charged weapon mode, figuring that such a machine would be vulnerable to a heavy attack connecting at the right time.

The Hunter is the one who begins the fight, pulling out both of her Beam Assault rifles, and opening fire directly at the enemy unit, while boosting sideways, working to keep out of the line of sight of the obviously heavily armed enemy unit.

[Azkaiel]

Not surprisingly, the agile looking machine commenced its attacks, throwing a stream of particle shots in his direction, while attempting to stay out of his line of sight. "Well. 2 can play that game", the merc murmured, as he swiftly thrusted to the side, before pivoting his GM Kai torso to face his opponent, while mirroring the enemy's movement. In retaliation for the attacks directed at his machine, Marco had the shoulder mounted gatling track his opponent's movement, while unloading a stream of shells from the multi barreled weapon. The shield mounted MGs too fired a short 3 round burst at the moving machine, while one of the beam rifles fired off its charged shot at the Overflag, intent on scoring a hit.

The Hunter brings up one of her beam gun shields, which takes a beating due to it's anti beam coating. Inside her cockpit, the hunter groans as one of her weapons is destroyed, and quickly decides to change tactics. Activating her Stealth field, her unit disapears from sight, leaving only a very slight blurr where her unit is. Out of no where, a single cracker gernade soars out towards Marco's unit.

[Azkaiel]

Although some of the GM's weapons managed to connect, none of them failed to inflict any critical damage on his opponent. What was disturbing, was the fact that his enemy had began to fade out of sigh, like a wraith. "Optical Stealth....sneaky...", Marco murmured, moving his machine around, while keeping his eyes peeled for any reactions on the HUDs. When the threat indicator blared its warning, Marco quickly sidestepped the incoming projectile, which explode on the ground of the arena, showering the lower regions of his unit with gravel.

Rather than let his foe dictate the terms of combat, Marco boosted backwards and positioned his back against the arena wall. With his six covered, the burly merc decided to try something risky. Sweeping his weapons randomly all over his frontal 180degree arc, he waited to see if any of the weapons had managed to shake the enemy unit out of its stealth mode...

[Usam1981]

Unfortunatly for Marco, the shots hit the hunter's other shield, showing that the hunter was litterally within meters of him. It did not matter to the hunter, as she had both of her bladed shields out at the moment, and at that range, the stealth feature was useless, but all she had needed was to get in close. Acvating the thrusters in her right handed shield, she let go of her shield, sending it shooting directly at Marco's unit blade first.

[Azkaiel]

With little time to react, Marco could only manage a slight movement to his right, before the projectile stabbed into his machine's left arm, rendering the limb and its weaponry useless, for all purposes and intentions. Rather than descend into desperation, the merc fired his gatling gun once more, as well as the remainder of his right arm weaponry into the devious machine before him. As an afterthought, he added the head mounted vulcans into the firing pattern as well, in an attempt to disable the enemy sensors, so as to inhibit the enemy's ability to fight.

[Usam1981]

The Hunter takes most of the blows to her suit, causing serious dammage to her unit. With the little armor she had on her suit, she knew she could not take a whole lot of hits. Quickly, she undocks again her beam assault rifles, and boosts backwards at top speed, opening fire with both rifles on Marco's unit.

[Azkaiel]

Raising his shield to protect against the hail of particle beams, the protective device failed to tolerate much of the beams, before becoming perforated and useless. The remainder of the beams peppered his machine inflicting heavy damage, but for how, his GM was still holding up, if only barely. With his sole means of protection gone, Marco elected to do an all out attack, in a move to quickly end this fight. Pointing his gatling gun, shield MG and handheld beam rifle last, he fired all 3 weapons to their limits, hoping that the charged shot from the VBR would be enough to defeat his opponent.

[Usam1981]

The Hunter is forced to bring up her one remaining shield to block the attack. The shield blocks the VBR attack easily, but the conventional rounds from the other weapons tear into the shield, destroying it completly. The Over Flag is now in rather bad shape, but still in combat, if barely. The hunter knew that one more attack would do her in, so she docks one of her beam assault rifles, and pulls out a Cracker gernade, and hurls it at Marco's unit, following it up with a burst of gunfire from her beam assault rifle.

[Azkaiel]

Not surprising, the enemy unit continued to be persistent, despite the damage taken. Tossing another projectile at, Marco elected to move as far away from the explosive device, as well as the stream of particle bolts. But still, the rear of his machine suffered some damage in the process. Feeling the explosive force of the grenade even in his cockpit, the resulted flash was mostly mitigated owing to the fact his gun cameras were trained onto the battered unit.
Twisting the GM torso, so his right side weapon could lock on to the Overflag, Marco continued to unleash a hail of ballistics from his gatling gun and MG, while his beam rifle was in the process of recharging.

[Usam1981]

The Hunter's unit takes so much dammage from the attack that the dammage simulators reset quickly, returning both suits back to base level dammage. The hunter simply turns her suit around, and with a quick transformation into jet form, leaves the arena at top speed.
