*Ace suddenly boosts a little to the left, as the Vulcan fire misses his arm only by a few meters. He isn't afraid* Bad move. *The Beam Scattering Gun screams as it fires. The blast knocks out Retal's vision. Ace replaces his current Bazooka clip with a new one. He racks the one he just had* I don't even have to tell you what I'm planning. You already know, don't you? *Ace fires his Bazooka once at Retal's torso* The Retaliation neatly strafed right via a boost by the UBP's, killed it's backpack thrusters, and repositioned it's weaponry. The bazooka was racked and the rifles seperated as they were put back into their mounts. This ritual Retal could perfom in his sleep, and it was no effort to do it while blinded. When his senses warned him that Ace had fired a bazooka shell, Retal simply strafed again, this time to the left in order to bring him back to where he was before. Guided by the tone of his suit's computer as it tried to aquire target lock, Retal took aim with his weaponry. The vulcans opened up on the bazooka this time, while the torso beam machinecannons open fire on Ace's legs. Retal's vision slowly returns, and he mutters to himself: "Yes, old man. I knew what was coming. I can feel Marion just as I do you, and I know the immediate followup of the spraybeam gun. You Dom pilots always rely on blinding your pilot, but I learned to counter that long ago. This time, Ace, I will not fall to tricks..."

*Ace boosts upward, the fire pasing under him. The hover jets, glide him down to the surface again gently* Heh. Here's the problem with that, Retal... *Ace aims his Bazooka just in Retal's line of flight and racks his 90mm. He takes out the clip, then throws it in Retal's path. He does the same with another clip that he kept just for this occasion* You just did. I can feel you, too. So can Marion. Here comes the explosion you've been waiting for so long. *Ace fires his Bazooka directly at the two clips. The Napalm round explodes right on the clips, which, in turn, explode. The blast is enough to blow a small hole in the colony's wall. Not even big enough to fit a Mobile Suit through, all the hole does is instantly fill the area with fog as the oxygen is sucked out of the colony. Ace knows the hole won't be deadly. The colonies regional government will patch it up very quickly. The fog, however, is what Ace was going for. Ace switches his sensors to thermal and backs toward the colony's dock once again, waiting for Retal to follow him* Sometimes, blinding your opponent in battle is a great strategy. I feel you Retal. I know exactly where you are and what you're doing. I also know that if you don't want me to escape this colony, you'll try and cut me off. Then my suspicions as to your strategy will be confirmed. As you can tell, you're not the only person who has plans. *Ace smiles*

As you can tell, you're not the only person who has plans. *Ace smiles* Retal smiles as well, although for entirely different reasons. You still don't understand, do you Ace? Marion and EXAM are like a beacon to newtypes. Even if you take away my eyesight, she is still your fatal flaw. By bringing Marion here, you've just lit a strobe light in perfect drkness while surrounded by fifty thousand MS with orders to kill you upon sight. Your one critical flaw in this fight is your reliance on EXAM. What can Marion tell you about me that you cannot find out for yourself? Your reliance on others to do your work for you makes you weak Ace, and plans you may have, but then again, my plans are perfect because I don't have to execute them. You've been doing that for me. Let's get this over with.Retal simply smiles at himself as he detatches his four fin funnels. He opens a comm transmission to Ace. "You've just made a fatal mistake, Ace. Far more fatal than you ever made before. Now, you will pay for it..." With the hole in the colony exterior wall sucking air out into the black vacuum beyond, the fin funnels were swept up into the suction, and they all opened up and fired beams into the hole, expanding it so that they could all fit through it on their way into space, where they suffered no restriction to their movement capabilities. Once they were outside, they raced directly for the docking bays, all of which were located on the colony's northern cap, which was a mountain from their perspective inside the colony. Once they arrived, the fin funnels swiftly positioned themselves outside the hangars, and they awaited Retal's orders to close the trap on Ace... Meanwhile, in order to cover the fin funnel's launch, Retal fired up his thrusters to full burn, generating a massive thermal spike that would make it impossible for Ace to spot the fin funnels launching. With the full-power thruster burn still propelling him towards the location where he felt Ace, Retal smiled as a preditor would when stalking prey. He thought only of Ace and Ace's death, only one thought was spared for the funnels, and he was sure not to think about tem, otherwise it would give his trap away too quickly. He drew his bazooka and one beam rifle, heading straight towards Ace, whom he had found via a combination of newtype senses and thermal sensors. An excellent pilot and proud warrior you may be, Ace. But your newtype powers have only just manifested. In the arena of newtype warfare, I am the veteran between us, you are the noob. You fail to realize that newtype powers are a double-edged blade. True, I cannot hide from you, but neither can you hide from me. Newtypes are not infallible, but until now I have just played with you. I took more damage than I should simply because I wanted it to seem fair. But this time, I will not limit myself. I will find you, and I will show you what newtypes can really do...Taking a blind shot, Retal aimed his bazooka into the fog-covered depths and fired off a round at Ace's location....

Ace doesn't even move as the Bazooka Shell narrowly misses him* Hmph. Don't think I'm stupid. The air outside your Mobile Suit is currently very cold. It makes your heat signature stand out like a sore thumb. Oh yes, and those Funnels that you launched, I saw them too. They have their own heat signatures. You should know better than to think I don't have a plan. That's why Marion's hear. We work as one. She's a part of me. She further enhances my newtype potential to extremes you can't imagine. I know you feel us. I want you to. I truly do. I want to be the last thing you feel WHEN YOUR LIFE ENDS!!![/u][/b] *Ace fires two rounds from his Bazooka at the gaping hole. The explosions cause the now brittle colony wall to break down to the point that a Mobile Suit can slip through it* You let me know your plan too easily! It's evident you want me inside this colony! When it comes to strategy, you're still an amateur! *Ace fires up his thrusters and boosts forward. He knows that Retal can now see and feel him, but he can take care of that, too. As Ace flashes toward him, he sweeps 90mm fire in an arc that will bring it directly upon Retal and to either side of him. Ace also fires his Beam Scattering Gun once again, knowing that even through the fog the blinding light will still interfere with the Gundam's camera. The combination will take precious time off Retal's reaction, considering that he now has to work with an inopperative camera and MG fire. Using this, Ace flashes past Retal toward the gaping hole*

You know as well as I that no plan of battle survives past the first engagement with an enemy. You've clearly forgotten that. Allow me to remind you.Retal responded to the double threat against him with all the skill he had available.

Watch, Ace, as your hopes for victory are crushed. Adios, my foe.Retal once again sent out commands to his fin funnels hanging outside the colony, and two promptly opened up and begaan shooting at radom locations on the space colony's outer surface, particularly the connections between each individual section of the colony proper, while the other two headed for one of the mirros...

*Aries drifts by in a Ball, musing to himself as the mobile pod tumbles past.*
Hmmm...Aries may have to smash this Retalition Gundam in due time!!

You should know that Mobile Suit warfare is more than just attacking. Strategies have to be implemented, then adjusted as the situation changes. As the brilliant tactician M'Quve once put it: "War is but a tricky game of strategy." *Ace continues to use his momentum to bring him clear of the hole. He positions himself so that he can see anything coming out of the hole and switched his sensors to radar. If it moved, he would know it*

Surely and swiftly they came, closing up and firing beams at Ace from range...

Let's party!The three incoming leader funnels snap into attack mode and fire off a trio of beams right for Ace, while at the same time, the two leader funnels split apart, one banking left, the other right, relative to Ace's current position, both funnels flip around, with whichever one Ace decided to track his fire at, if he's not already dodging the beams coming in at him, being destroyed by bullet fire. However, the destruction of the funnel released it's plasma cloud, which rapidly expanded towards Ace, while the other funnel arced in at him from the flank. And while this happens, the Gundam component of the Retaliation emerges from the hole in the colony, and Retal quickly fly up and begins to dock with the Gundam...

I can't do anything except help you and directly control the Mobile Suit when you're not in it.*Ace smiles sarcastically* Thank you for being such a great help. *Marion is equally sarcastic* It's what I'm here for.*Ace boosts up to avoid the Beam fire from the first three funnels and then spins to avoid the fire of the other one* This is really getting on my nerves. *Ace switches 25% of the energy from EXAM to his sensors manually* It will take some time before I'm at full capability again.I know, but right now I'm not thinking about that. I just wasted valuable time rerouting that power. I know.*Ace fires at the leader Funnel on his left with his 90mm, preparing himself for more Funnel fire*
