/me The ARC pushes hard on Manae's right arm with both sabres (hoping to disable it), The suit makes a sidestep to pull the left sabre free, and then swings the free hand where Manae tries to stab, blocking the stab, but it does hit close to home, gauging the mid-section armor. Carl shrugs it off as non-important. The ARC jumps back again to free itself from the sabre lock.

The hydraulics in the Jegan's arm begin to give, his saber being forced down into its already-useless head, leaving a deep gouge. As the ARC leaps away, self-diagnostics flare across the corner of one screen: despite the strain put on the pumps, there's no permanant damage.
Rushing at the ARC, Manae makes a swing from his right hip towards the ARC's left, using his own left arm with his right ready to defend, currenlty held up to intercept any vulcan fire.

He then grabs his shield and throws it at Manae. He fires his vulcans at it and it explodes when it nears Manae thanks to the hand grenades.

Manae attempts to swat the sheild away with his right saber, but it explodes just before he connects. The Jegan is sent flying backwards, smashing hard into the caked earth.
As his monitors cackle back into life, warnings flare across the screen. Despite general damage to the armor, his right wrist and elbow are nearly useless now, severely limiting its use. Returning the saber to its storage rack to recharge after being blown out, Manae fires his vulcans to the ARC's left while boosting in on it's right, making a slash for the missile pods on the shoulder.

/me The ARC's quickly boosts to its left, avoiding Manae's attack and the sabre barely misses. The ARC grabs its right beam sabre and comes around and slashes at Manae's suit.

His saber already in the general area, Manae spins his wrist 360 degrees to stop the incoming attack. Smiling, he kicks his verniers into full reverse, dropping a grenade in the dust at the ARC's feet. It explodes before even he can escape the full blast radius, returning him to the ground again.
Hmm, deja vu.
The Jegan stands, with obvious damage to much of its armor; it is cracked in several places with dents and other scars to compromise the integrity. Giving a little distance in the scorching desert, Manae waits for the smoke to clear to see what's become of his opponent.

/me Carl notices one of the Jegan's hands drop something and he tries to jump away, but he caught by the explosion. Instead of allowing himself to fall to the ground, he kicks his vernier further and he flies back several hundred feet. He has his suit re-orrient itself so it can make a safe landing. He checks his computer and notices there is damage on the leg and foot. He's afraid to land but has to. The ARC makes a hard landing, and falls over. The right leg is damaged severely.
Son of a bitch.
/me As the smoke clears, the ARC slowly rises. Carl is going to have to rely on his thrusters more than his legs now. The right leg is operable, but damaged.

Keeping his distance so that both missiles and the gattling guns will be little threat, Manae fires a few short bursts with his vulcans, aiming at the ARC's head, shoulders, and cockpit with successive bursts.

/me The ARC raises its arm up and takes the vulcan hits. If his 90mm gattlings and missiles wouldn't have much on an effect on Manae's Jegan, the Jegan's vulcans would probably not have as much of an effect.

"Damn bastard is on to me..." Manae muses to himself.
Wasting a few more round, he fires off a few more short bursts over the entire ARC, looking to land something in a critical area, like the main camera, or the damaged right leg.

/me The ARC shifts its weight to its left leg, avoiding a few shots to the leg. The arm raises to the head and it gets a few minor scratches.

Backing off a little, Manae kinda just... opens his cockpit to air it out. Been getting stuffy. While doing so, he gives the ARC his right side and leaves his monitors on. No motion will go unnoticed.

/me Carls notices that Manae opened his cockpit. Carl uses this to take a little breather himself. It wasn't his style to attack someone like that. He keeps his cockpit closed, however, and watches Manae's suit, especially the cockpit.

There's no movement at the Jegan. Keeping an eye on the ARC, Manae pulls a flask from the utility pocket of his pilot's suit. He takes a small swig of the whisky inside.
As Carl keeps his vigil, a small, almost non-understandable transmission cackles over his coms:
So how's the wife and kids?
There's no visual, however, as Manae's communication antenna is too damaged.

/me Carl returns the message. His V-fin which he uses for communication is slightly mauled from vulcan fire, so he can only send audio as well.
Bah, they're great, if I had any. How's your life treating you?
