Well, I haven't had a good fight in a long time. Let's try this out.
/me A gritty, dusty desert landscape surounded by mountains and hills stretches for miles. Carl's ARC Trooper stands in the sand. Filters and joint covers are draped over the appropriate areas. The ARC loads an energy pack onto the side of its beam machinegun. Appearantly, it is packing its full armament except the disruptor packs and clay bazooka.
Enviroment: Abandoned Area 51 Airbase. Desert airbase surounded by hills and mountains. Early afternoon.
Carl's Suit: ARC-001 "ARC Trooper"

From out of the heat-induced haze on the horizon, a form approaches. As it draws nearer, it is finally recognizable as a RGM-89R Jagen A-Type. It has the full complement of armaments.
Stopping in front of an old hangar, a few men rush out and do some quick maintenance to bring the machine back to peak performance after a long walk through the desert.
Refueled and with cleaned joints, it stands ready.
Knowing now the abilities of your suit, I don't need a heavily-armored bulk to shoot you down. So, let's see if you can keep up with me...

Hmm, an F91 suit against what is technically a ZZ suit. Well, I might as well.
/me The ARC gets in a defensive stance ready to jump or move at any moment.

I wouldn't go that far. It may have been fielded during the Crossbone Vanguard's assaults, but it is by no means a suit of caliber of the time. Compared to it, a GM in 0087 is a preferable suit.
After a several minute stare-down, Manae decides to take the first move. As fast as the joints allow, he lifts his sheild and fires two rockets at the ARC.
As they fly out, Manae fires up his main boosters and rockets into the air, bringing out his beam rifle and prepares to fire a shot as soon as the ARC makes a move.

/me The ARC swings its beam machine gun in a forward arc, firing across the missiles, destroying them. He cuts the machine gun off and swings the rifle towards Manae. He fires off three short bursts at Manae and boosts backwards.

Manae uses gravity and his verniers to drop below and to the sides as the beams fly towards him, keeping his sheild in front just in case. As soon as the ARC's thrusters move it the slightest bit backwards, Manae fires a spread of three beams toward it, one on each side and the final directly for the head.
<OOC: meaning, duck and continue back, you still get hit, go up and likely get a foot hit, or keep on motion and lose the cockpit.>

The beam aimed at the ARC's head passes over, and the two beams on the side crash into the sand, turning it to glass instantly. The ARC's shoulder missile racks open up and fire four missiles towards Manae.

Landing in a plume of dust kicked up by verniers, Manae sees the missiles leave their racks. Raising his sheild, he fires two of his own, which explode as they near the ARC's, destroying them.
As Manae begins moving along the ground, two more of his missiles emerge from the lingering dusty, smokey fireball, giving the ARC little time to respond.

/me The ARC fires its beam machine gun in another arc, destroying the missiles even though the intent was to hit Manae. With its left hand, he scoops up sand and throws it at the Jegan.
You know, by kicking up all that dust, you're probably getting some sand in your joints. That could be bad later on and is going to be a bitch to clean out.

As the ARC moronically bends down to pick up some sand, Manae fires a few shots around it with his beam rifle. In doing so, he doesn't stop his slow jog about on the baked earth, making small plumes of unconsequential dust.
There's a reason I'm not hopping around with boosters, you know.

Several rocks that were in the sand hit Manae's suit, while doing little damage now, do send a lot of smaller bits into its joints, especially around the head and shoulders. The ARC grabs a grenade from its shield and lobs it at Manae and then proceeds to pull out a beam sabre and begins running towards the enemy Jegan.

Manae holsters his own rifle while drawing a saber, boosting forward low to the ground under the grenade, blowing any dust back away from him. As he nears the ARC, he cuts his boosters and stops by throwing his legs in front of him and sliding sideways, burying the ARC in a cloud of fine desert sand.
Opps. Feeling a little like Lot's wife?

/me The ARC's infared kicks in and as it sees Manae's suit trying to skid and cover it with dust, the ARC swings its saber at the Jegan's rifle and drives its shield at its skidding leg.
You forgot my suit's joints were already covered.

Manae makes a wide sweep of his saber, from his side around out past his forward leg and continueing up to block the ARC's attack.
Forget? No. It's just more fun then stopping dead, and kept the dust away from me.
Manae quickly draws out his second saber and makes a stab for the ARC's cockpit.

He sees Manae reaching for his other sabre and quickly ducks to the side so that the sabre goes past his left arm and shield. The ARC's right forearm machine gun opens up and fires into Manae's cockpit.
