Piloting the his customized machine into the arena, Marco was waiting to see who was to be his foe this time. Valen had rather subtly hinted to him that he was to join in this particular battle for reasons known only to him.

The GM Ranger speeds into the arena before hovering for a moment and touching down.

With the entry of the opponent for this bout, Marco quickly brought the GM into a run to the side, skirting the edge of the arena, while raising all four of his handheld VBRs and unleashing a veritable hail of light particle shots at the humanoid machine in the distance.

"It's going to take a lot more then some fancy rifles!" Using the enhanced sensors Harlow easily tracks the shots and dodges to the side before getting a lock on the GM Kai.

Not particularly surprised by the enemy reaction to his opening barrage, Marco swapped to moving erratically, so as to throw his opponent's aim off, while he himself continued to track and target the enemy mobile weapon. Continuing to remain in the variable beam rifles's rapid fire mode, the mercenary continued to unleash another hail of light particle bolts in the direction of his opponent, in a move to pin and pressure the pilot, while he himself moved into an advantageous position.

Launching into the air and touching down to avoid most of the barrage Harlow aimed the cannons, firing them at where the target was predicted to move towards before they changed directions so that their erratic movements wouldn't provide as much of an advantage. Then continued running to stay out the way of the barrage.

Hmm, despite Marco's efforts, it doth appeared to him that his enemy was quite content to play hit and run while him. Briefly launching into the air, the enemy mobile weapon had evaded most of the beam shots while firing his cannons at him, before landing and scooting away. Breaking into a rolling tackle, the GM Kai rather hastily avoid any serious harm other than a few harmless dings to its armored surface.
Fortunately, since Marco had his variable beam rifles, the brawny male didn't have to worry about ammo consumption issues. Continuing to pursue cautiously, he once again unloaded another barrage of low intensity beam particles at the moving form in the distance.

"What's this? You're not like the others, this ought to be interesting" Backing away from the barrage of shots to decrease the odds of being hit and their power Harlow drew his Beam Sniper rifle, taking aim as he saw the target open fire on him. He quickly fired before raising his shield in case any beams managed to maintain cohesion at that range.

Not content to trail behind, Marco stepped down on the pedals and brought the GM Kai into a run, so as to close into the other humanoid machine. While his opponent backed away, the pilot had the good sense to fire off a quick shot at his own machine, but Marco was not daunted by that fact. Raising his left arm briefly to deal with the beam weapon's attack, the Team Strike member recovered from the shot, while once again firing his beam rifles in automatic mode. Not quite content with a hail of beam shots, Marco added into a pair of 5 shot bursts, from his shield mounted machine guns, to further threaten his arena opponent.

With his main weapons recharging Harlow goes on the defensive, hitting the ground and rolling before getting up again to raise his shield to avoid the initial barrage and be ready for a next one.

Judging from the reactions of this opponent, Marco had quite the feeling that this battle was not going to be an easy one. Since his VBRs were down to their last few charges, the mercenary decided to simply expend the balance, with the shots aimed at the general area of the mid and upper torso section that the shield was being used to protect again. As an afterthought, he decided to conserve the use of his shield mounted weapons, as his beam weaponry were to undergo recharging, having emptied the capacitor of its charges.

"You scratched my suit, that's it! The gloves are off." Firing at the ground in front of his enemy with the dual cannons Harlow creates a large cloud, not enough to reduce the particle beams in strength but enough to disrupt sensors. During that time he jumps into air, backing further and aiming his rifle, compensating for the relative movement he prepares to fire.

Caught in the cloud of dust, the GM Kai's sensors were obscured by the material floating about. But rather than stand around, Marco had the GM Kai dash out of the cloud to his left, where he visually noted the enemy machine had retreated away, in order to keep the distance between them both. Not wanting to give the pilot that satisfaction, Marco boosted forward, his shield mounted ballistic weapons roaring away, as they fired at the humanoid form, which he was closing on.

Seeing the target gain on him and open fire Harlow threw his shield at his enemy, aiming for the head. At the same time he touched down and broke to the right, still wielding the sniper rifle.

Seeing that there was flying shield being thrown at him, Marco decided to just simply use his shielded right arm to bat the projectile aside, before sending it spinning away to his right. Noting that his hand held weapons had all recharged again, the brawny male felt that it was time to up the pressure, and fired his rifles in automatic mode once again. Without the protective barrier, he was quite sure that there was no possible way that the enemy pilot could adequately protect himself and his machine from a barrage of low energy beam bolts...
