Valen entered the arena in the brand new mobile suit called Stinger. This was to be a test fight and thus he had been allowed to use two additional weapons. For this fight he had equipped his bladed shield and shoulder mounted gatlings. As he waited for his opponent to arrive he folded his arms.

Cypher, now integrated to the systems of this new test unit, walked into the arena, moving the unit's head the way a human would when cracking their neck without using their hands. Speaking of hands, Cypher's unit had a few additions to them. Namely his Retractable Blade with a Plasma Core Mod on the right arm and his Electrified Heat Rod on the left. As per the rules of the engagement, he also carried a single Beamsaber aside from the other weapons already built into the test unit.
"Well, then. Shall we get to it?" Cypher questioned with a slight mock in his voice.

Valen was about to nod respectfully, but then his opponent spoke in a mocking tone. With a irritated growl he takes up a combative stance. "Come at me." He taunted.

"Alright then..." Cypher muttered as he began to overcharge the right hand of this interesting new unit. But instead of using it to attack, he chose to get his enemy moving first by allowing the Electrified Heat Rod to snake out of the sheathing unit and coil on the floor as it slithered out. Then with a quick flick of his unit's wrist, he whipped the coiled mass towards his opponent's left leg with the intent to either force him into a dodge or to snag it and then yank it back hard, pulling the leg out from under his opponent and forcing them to the ground.

Valen leaped into the air, dodging the attack and using his thrusters to achieve maximum height before launching forward towards his opponent. As he approached, the hands of his mobile suit began to glow with an awesome power.

"Heh..."
Cypher couldn't have wished for a better reaction from his opponent. The moment his opponent took to the air, Cypher had already begun retracting his heat rod while watching the enemy mobile suit dive out of the air directly at him, his hands glowing the same way Cypher's right hand was.
Waiting and watching for the right moment, Cypher allowed his opponent to get just close enough for what Cypher had planned. Once that moment came, Cypher ducked low and shot under his opponent's unit, spinning around to face his backside while doing so. As soon as he was clear of the attack, Cypher stopped his thrust and now presented with his opponent's backside, he thrusted his right arm forward, the shining fist moving quickly to impact with the thruster pack of the opposing mobile suit.
Should his attack land, the trauma of the energized fist as well as as the additional damage his plasma charged wrist blade inflicted, would pretty much slow his enemy to a crawl and pretty much fry most of his internal systems.

His opponent was good. Luckily Valen had come prepared for this sort of thing. Using his enhanced reflexes he managed to swing his mobile suit around to block his opponent with the blade of his shield. While successful, the shield takes some minor damage and loses a tiny portion of it's beam coated due to the solid weapon impact. However Valen had his opponent right where wanted him, up close. With surprising speed he fired two Shining Shots (beams) from his hands at point blank at his opponents chest.

Cypher was admittedly surprised by the opponent's speed, but he wasn't by any means slow himself.
Using motion follow through, Cypher allowed his body to go with the clockwise rotation his right arm started when it was knocked away, spinning his body around while pivoting on his left foot, the enemy's twin beam shots, burning dual gouges across his chest as they glanced by and continued towards the arena wall on the far side.
Cursing lightly to himself, but grateful to have avoided a quick defeat, Cypher followed through with the fluid motion of his body to allow his left hand to ball into a fist and whip up at the enemy mobile suit's head, impacting it under the chin with a clean, solid uppercut.

Valen was surprised. Usually the point blank treatment worked pretty well. However this fight was far from over. Using a modified version of the technique his opponent had just used against him, Valen allowed his mobile suit to follow the punch, using it to flip himself over to deliver a high speed kick to his opponent's neck with his left leg. As he did this he caught himself with his mobile suit's hands, pivoting his arms against the ground and using his thrusters to increase the speed of his rotation.

This time, Cypher was caught by complete surprise as the opponent used the very same tactic he just did to deliver a kick to the chest and neck area of Cypher's unit. "Should have seen that coming..." Cypher spat to himself as his unit tumbled backwards to the ground.
Falling into a sitting position, Cypher noticed that his opponent was trying to recover from his flip kick with a handstand to get itself back onto its feet. Not one to let an opportunity pass him by, Cypher flicked his heat rod once again towards his enemy's unit, this time at the wrists and hands he was using to support himself while his feet came around to get back to the ground.
His opponent, wouldn't be able to do anything to avoid having his wrists snared and snagged out from under him. Well, nothing short of purposely falling and moving his hands away from the heat rod just in time.

Valen swears as he sees the heat rod heading right for him. As an unconscious reflex he lifts his right arm to protect his chest, doing a one armed hand stand in the process. However the heat rod wraps around his hand. As if struck by lightning an idea comes to mind. As the whip wraps around his hand Valen charges his it with beam energy, protecting it from any harmful effects the whip could produce. With that done he falls onto his back, using his weight to pull his opponent towards him while charging his other hand.

Allowing himself to be pulled to his feet as the opponent fell to the ground, Cypher kept his heat rod taunt and while pulling back against his opponent pulling him towards him, observed his enemy begin to charge each hand with the same glowing energy his right hand still burned with.
Inching closer to his currently downed opponent, Cypher made sure to retract his heat rod as he moved to prevent giving the enemy any slack to work with. He knew that as long as the heat rod remained coiled around the enemy's left arm, he had nearly total control of the motion that the enemy pilot attempted. However, the same applied to Cypher's left arm too. Working this out quickly, Cypher decided on what he was going to do.
Giving the heat rod a stronger tug than his opponent was giving it, Cypher forced his opponent towards him by the arm, causing the enemy to be dragged across the floor towards Cypher's feet. But instead of allowing him to get anywhere close to Cypher's unit with those glowing hands, a quick flick of the wrist redirected the opponent's unit away from Cypher's mobile suit and into the nearby arena wall, slamming him into it before Cypher loosed the snare around the enemy's wrist.
Hoping the impact with the wall would have disoriented the enemy for a moment, Cypher began to boost over towards the opponent, firing his vulcans into the mobile suit crumpled in a heap against the arena wall.

Dazed by being slammed into the wall Valen was unable to evade the vulcan fire that bombarded him. However he did managed to return fire with his own vulcans before adding in the shoulder mounted gatling guns. As he did this he fired up his thrusters to lift him off the ground to his feet, clenching his hands into fists as he rose.

Using the fairly large, shield-like guards on his forearms, Cypher crossed them in front of himself to defend his face and torso from the hail of bullets being fired at him while strafing to the left a bit to get out of the immediate firestorm. Then when he was fairly clear of the gunfire, Cypher kicked his thrusters into full burn and shot forward, towards the right side of his opponent, his right hand still glowing hot with the still unspent energy that begged for release.
Balling his fist and lowering it slightly, Cypher cocked his fist back and delivered another uppercut to the enemy mobile suit as it began to settle down on its feet. As Cypher swung his right fist, his left arm began to snake the heat rod out once again, preparing to play as a distraction should Cypher's uppercut fail to connect. After all, he would need something to give him a quick out to get away from the opponent's own glowing fists should Cypher's gambit not pay off.

Valen dove/fell into a half backflip to evade the uppercut, planting his hands against the arena wall before pushing off as they began glowing again, planning to plant both his feet into his opponent to send him crashing to the ground.
