*Aries stands in the MS Bay of an AC Colony, weightless, his arms folded over his chest.* Pick a suit, any suit. Aries'll still whoop you!
*picks his choice, a slightly upgraded Taurus, toting a beam rifle and a Titans-esque shield, complete with a set of beam sabers behind it.* A Taurus Full Vernian! Aries has to have mild luxuries! *pushes off of the hard metal floor and floats up to the cockpit of the Taurus, catching ahold of the hatch and stopping his momentum.*

*Stands in the MS Bay of a Musai, wondering which MS to use* I'm torn between the Guncannon and the Rick Dom II. To hell with it! Guncannon, launching! *The Green and Grey Zeon Guncannon steps on the catapult and flies off* Ok Aries. What kind of duel? Long Range or Regular?

*Aries sits down in his "TaurVer's" cockpit, then buckles his restraints, closes the hatch, and throws powers to his systems. He waits a few moments for the TaurVer to warm up, then clears the Bay, opens it to vacuum, then cuts in his engines and rockets out of the Colony.*
*Once in space, he throws his Mobile Suit into a tight roll to take a quick recon of the space around him, then cuts in his comm unit and picks up Ace's transmission.*
*Aries grins, checks the signal strength with his sensor data, locks onto Ace's Mobile Suit and kills his engines for a second.* How about a little bit of both?
*Aries settles his aiming reticle over the green and gray Mobile Suit, still at a distance of a klick and a half away, out of the Musai's firing range, at least...He frowns. There is no way Aries can clock a sucker like that in medium-range combat, shooting toe-to-toe is gonna be suicide, he thinks to himself. But if Aries were to get in there with a beam saber, Aries could cut him to pieces. Literally. Hee hee, Aries is so clever. Anyway...that monstrosity is just plain deadweight on a space plane like this, since Aries has enough speed to make his head spin, and enough firepower to take that spinning head of his off at a klick and a quarter.*
*Aries just keeps his reticle on his opponant and waits for it to go red as Ace gets into range.*

*Thinks to himself* Aries is gonna try and get closer. I just know it. Unfortunately for him, I've upgraded the original model. Adding more manuevering thrusters to the model at the expense of armor was a great idea. He'll get within range in a second, then I show him how a real pilot handles an MS. He's too inexpierrienced to know that you shouldn't have a starting strategy to defeat a single opponent, because you never know the full capabilities of the machine or the pilot. *The targeting recticle goes red. Opens a channel to Aries* Now, feel my wrath! * Fires his Beam Rifle at Aries, along with his head-mounted Vulcan Guns*

*Aries sighs, then nods to himself, and throws a set of switches, the TaurVer seeming to twist from within and lurch into High Mobility Mode (Fighter Mode), sacrificing firepower for speed. He pumps his throttle to full, then is slammed back into his G-couch as he gives a slight twitch to his starboard control stick and sideslips Acey's fire.* *The distance between them closes quickly, Aries's reticle going red. He doesn't fire, but whips past the Guncannon and lets him taste a little vernier wake disruption.* *Aries cuts out his thrust behind Acey, then throws power to his maneuvering thrusters to point his TaurVer's nose at the Guncannon again. This time he does fire, drilling at the upgraded Mobile Suit with the 98mm Machine Guns mounted in the Mobile Suit's shoulders, applying reverse thrust to back away, his fingers still on the triggers of his control sticks.*

*sees his TaurVer in action, wipes a tear away form his eye*
It's so beautiful.....now for that Guncannon.....
*goes off to his work shop*

Ah, I underestimated you Aries. You're quite a pilot. *Flips upside down and boosts, taking him under Aries current position* This should be a close battle. *Flips so that he faces Aries. Talks to himself* And now I input the data on the computer... *Ace's fingers fly as he inputs the data. The portion of the monitor around Aries goes red, showing Ace approximately where Aries will be in 10 seconds on any side, judging that the data on the TaurVer is correct* Steady now... *Fires on either side of Aries with his Cannons and Vulcans, while firing with his Beam Rifle right up the center*

*Aries looks at his chronometer and starts running calculations in his head as he disengages fire and throws the TaurVer into Mobile Suit Mode.* Okay...the rate of fire on the cannons, vulcans, and beams leaves Aries with a small window of opportunity... *Once fully converted, the TaurVer lets its Beam Machine Gun go. Eight seconds have gone on the chronometer...* ...If Aries was going to go that way, anyway...Full 3D battle plane, and he can't shoot everywhere at once. Aries needs to kill him in-close...but first, Aries has to get out of Acey's line of fire... *Aries throws his throttle to full, rocketing away from Acey's Beam Rifle line of fire and running between the confining walls of the Cannon and Vulcan fire. The Beam Machine Gun takes a hit from the Rifle and explodes, further confusing Ace's sensor readings. All the while, Aries then grabs a beam saber from a recharge slot in the TaurVer's hip, letting it flash to a silvery-blue life in the black Mobile Suit's hand. He then throws his thrust to reverse to avoid getting predictable, and rockets directly in at Acey, his shield held forth and beam saber cocked back to give him a slice.*
*And a minute ticked by on the chronometer on Aries's console...*

*The sensors are going haywire* Dammit!!! What'd I hit!?! I can't see a damn thing!!! *Sensors come back, showing Aries almost upon him* Dammit!!! *Thrusts backward and sideways, until he is on Aries right side. He then begins to fire his Beam Rifle and Cannons at Aries* Back off! Back off!

*Aries reverses thrust again, then sideslips to port and slams his throttle back up, this time circumventing Acey by slipping under his fire and coming up from below. He hears Ace's panicked transmission from his still-active comm unit.*
He's panicking at this? he thinks to himself. His suit must not be that great with close-combat at all! Although Aries imagines the pilot can't handle close-combat well either.
Bingo.
*The TaurVer lifted its shield to face its butt end at the Guncannon. The grenade launcher at its base spat out its entire magazine of six grenades, which targeted the Guncannon automatically, and fired their thrusters, angling in on wide angles to prevent someone from shooting them down.* *Inside, Aries grinned, wondering how Ace's going to get out of this fine mess...*

*Thinks to himself* Is Aries really geting me this wound up? I'm yelling as if I were frightened, but this is the best rush I've had in a long time. He is a worthy enemy. After this is finished, I should challenge him with my Efreet someday in the future. *Spots the RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades)* Hmmm. He recovers quickly... *Swoops up and around left from his position. The RPGs charge harmlessly by* *Thinks to himself* I'll observe him a little longer to find his weakness. I thought I saw an opening a second ago. Better wait for that kind of opening to happen again.

*Aries nods, expecting that, then brings his throttle to 80%, not as fast as the TaurVer can go, but quick enough to close the distance between himself and Ace.* *You think you're going to hold Aries off and give you more time to get lucky? he thinks to himself, then grins. Aries doesn't give up THAT easily...* *He climbs up quick on the Guncannon, then feints at his right side with the silver-blue shard of fire, only to pull back and throw a slash at the Guncannon's left leg.*

*Spots the opening* There! *Flips and boosts backward just out of Aries's range so that he misses the leg. Ace then fires his Beam Rifle at the opening, which is right between Aries right and left arms, straight at the cockpit*
