('Kay!!)
Aries pulls back on the sticks, pulling the TaurVercus away from the beam saber, but keeping it close.
He keeps himself close for a reason.
Eleven little reasons.
He points the butt end of his shield directly down at the Gundam's head and chest, in close to point-blank range.
"Aries knows he said one thing and does another," the pilot says solemnly, his eyes closed for a second.
He opens his stone-gray eyes.
"But Aries is a soldier, not a saint."
With barely any time to maneuver or dodge, Aries unleashes a vicious triple missile salvo into Retal's head and chest. The projectiles don't have time to lock on for a homing lock, but being as the two combatants are so close, it honestly doesn't matter.
(Keep in mind Aries isn't forcing the hit, since you get to determine how much damage you take...but it doesn't look good, from Aries's seat...)

My second saber was intended to go THROUGH your shield, so that probably would have set them off... IC: Retal's newtype senses flare, but as he sees the shield being raised, he brings up his other arm and it's opened 90mm gatling, spraying it's rounds like mad at the torso of Aries's unit as Retal kicks in his UBP's to perform a mad strafe to the right. Two of the missiles hit, tearing off the left arm and it's shoulder as well as disabling that machinecannon on that shoulder. As soon as he was clear, Retal opened up every weapon port he had left and aimed it all at Aries, smiling as he did so. "Betrayal works both ways, my foe." Retal fired the 90mm gatling, the right torso beam machinecannon, the vulcan guns, and he ordered his two leader funnels in, they closed in behind Aries and they opened up... |

Aries thanks God he had the presance of mind to wear a space suit. Most of the TaurVercus's upper chest has been well-ventilated, what little atmosphere had been in the cockpit had been evacuated, and systems are starting to fail behind him.
Reactor destabilizing, fuel leaking. Dead soldier. This Suit ain't coming out of this fight, even if Aries wins.
He looks up.
Best to put that to use.
He hits his barely functioning thrusters again, pushing away from the tracking fire, then opening up with his own shoulder vulcans on the wounded Retaliation. They manage to slip off about three shots before they completely stop working.
Aries didn't expect much more than that, however.
His sensors give him a warning that the leader funnels are coming in at him.
Newtype or not he thinks. Give Aries a hug!!
He slams into the Gundam with the grace of a rock in freefall. Both heavily damaged suits fly backwards, as Aries brings one leg around the Retaliation's back, and the other's knee to press directly against the cockpit hatch. He remembers the core fighter, which Retal might use to escape, and the TaurVercus's hands come up to grip the twin vernier pods sticking out of the Gundam's back near the base.
Aries unbuckles his restraints, blows the emergency bolts on the hatch, and leaps out towards the white Gundam. He flips in mid space, his feet connecting with the Gundanium armor, then kicks off and activates his thruster pack, throwing him away from the two dying Mobile Suits.
The TaurVercus explodes before he's well away, however.
The pilot is quickly caught up in the shockwave, thrown like a doll into the hard surface of the asteroid below him, even as the blast pushed the space rock closer towards the main sattelite.
Aries, of course, grays out before the actual explosion takes place, shredding both war machines in a violent fireball.

Aries, of course, grays out before the actual explosion takes place, shredding both war machines in a violent fireball. However, Aries forgot one little detail. As Aries came at him, and the vulcan fire dented more of the Retaliation's armor, and it wrapped it's arms around his core fighter's universal boost pods, Retal responds quickly, having seen Van try and self-destruct on many occasions. Looks like I've actually learned something from Van...what a terrifying thought...Retal slashed his beam saber upwards, running it along the chest of his own Gundam, trying to cut off Aries's suit from his own. Then, Retal rotates the UBP's upwards, since Aries's wasn't in the MS anymore and he didn't lock down his controls, the boost pods tore free for the TaurVercus's grip, and they promptly ignited with all the thrust they could produce, throwing the suit downwards. Then everything went boom. The Retaliation Gundam, however, had very tough armor, and Retal used his Gundam as a shield as he ejected, the force of the core fighter's ejection throwing the Gundam upwards to meet the fireball. Blackened, one-armed, and effectively slagged, the Retaliation Gundam spiraled through space, and Retal quickly put out a call to the Venture for a pickup of the Gundam. With that taken care of, Retal located Aries with his radar and quickly pulled up alongside him and offered him a ride to the asteriod they had recently vacated... OOC: Almost, Aries, almost. Had you locked your controls, that wouldn't have worked, but you didn't... |

After a little time in a bacta tank aboard Blue Leviathan IV, Aries sighs, looking over his NeoEllis Incom and Turnwraith Drive Yards Mobile Suits.
"Well, the TaurVercus is scrap...Aries'll hafta upgrade ANOTHER TaurVer..."
He closes his eyes and moves one finger from one MS to the next.
"Eenie...meenie...miney...moe..."
His finger falls on the RMS-099J "Sneaky Dias", a dark navy blue even in the bright lights of the Blue's hangar bay. He sighs, then picks up his atmosphere back, his helmet under one arm, as he kicks off from the decking on which he stood and floats through zero-G over to the stealth-inclined MS.
The trouble was, Retal kept finding me too easily. The Sneaky Dias should kinda help against that happening again until Aries can get a new TaurVercus...
