Psycho Soldiers 2: winders & Wilhelm (Psycho Soldiers) vs Fuku & liubei013

[liubei013 0]

With his eyes shut, Samuel patiently waited as his suit was lifted up onto the main arena set up for this match.  His hands loosely held the control sticks and the only illumination provided was the light-blue Standby Status light on his console.  Then the entire suit shuddered as the lift came to a complete stop.  He opened his eyes and started up his suit.  The suit seem to groan as power systematically flowed to all systems.  As his visual displays lit up, he scanned left and right at his surroundings.  There were numerous ruined buildings all around the area and the entire area was covered by a thick blanket of pure white snow.

 

He turned and saw his teammate in the Aegis Gundam a short distance away to his right.  He didn't know much about him, about this Echtal person; he was simply assigned together with him for this match.  Sam turned back and saw that all basic systems were activated, so he hit the final switch, activating his Trans-Phase Armor system.  His suit began to lit up like a fire as a mix of yellow and red-orange spontaneously colored the mobile suit.  He glanced over and nodded in satisfaction as all of his weapon systems were in the green. 

 

"This is a good suit; a lot better than those mass-production 'toys'..." he thought as he opened a channel to his teammate.

 

"You got a game plan?" he asked in a somewhat harsh tone as basic data about his opponent's suits scrolled up on one of his consoles.

The unfeeling eyes of the Aegis flickered in response, as a maroon hue slowly enveloped the surface of the suit. In a second, the statuesque steel giant stood out from its ominous white surroundings in a glaring shade of red. This was a confrontation among four valiant souls; hiding had no place here. The sharp protrusions of the mech's polygonal design struck a threatening image to any spectator.

 

"This is a two on two match, so we might as well take advantage of it and watch each other's backs." A smooth, easygoing voice flowed out of the receiver, like glittering streamwater. The enigmatic Echtel Endrance sat cross-armed in the comforts of his cockpit, surveying the battlefield. It amused him to find that his companion possessed a suit of nearly the same hue, as well as a preference for close-range combat. Seems that the opponents follow a common theme as well. He thought to himself, a pleasant smile forming on his lips as his azure eyes glided over the available information on the other fighters. His opponents were not visible at the moment, yet he had a strong feeling that today's fight is going to be one to remember.

 

"Oh, I apologize for not introducing myself earlier." He said, turning his attention to the open channel. "I seldom give others my name, but here at the arena, I am called Echtel Endrance. Pleasure to meet you." His associate sounded less than friendly during their first exchange of words, but for Echtel, team solidarity was most essential.

Athena pushed the throttle on the Rouge’s controls and she suddenly appeared in a flash of pre-planned fireworks. The Strike Rouge’s gray form was inert amidst the field of destroyed buildings and artificial snow; despite this however her mobile suit waved to the stands filled with spectators, a gesture that told her opponents one thing. She was Athena, the famous pop-star pilot.

 

While this would be her debut, it didn’t phase her from drawing in the spectators; besides, the more people cheered for her the more encouraged she was to try. Flicking her radio to open, she smiled to herself; “Arigato! Gambate! Fight Fair!” she said, half in Japanese and half in English despite her Chinese background.

 

“Athena, changing!” she said, flicking the phase-shift of the mobile suit on and listening to the hiss of the extra layer of protection kicking in. “Now where’s that Kula?” she asked, more to herself than her opponents. Her mobile suit turned in a full revolution before coming to a stop at her opponents.

 

“Well I’ll have to do the ‘V’ by myself then!” she said, her fingers sticking up in a peace sign on both her person and her Gundam. With one hand doing the ‘V’ and the other resting on her hip as both the Rouge and herself stood up; she spread her legs on the floor of the cockpit, her mobile suit did likewise on the ground. “Psychoooo Solde-“ she begun before she was RUDELY interrupted.

"Sorry for being late, Athena...." The Strike IWSP walks out of a cloud of artificial snow. Like its sister unit standing before it, the Stike also under goes a change in color. The suit slowly colorizes showing that its Phase Shift Armor had been activated. Kula walks up behind the Rouge and comes to a stop. Moving the beam rifle behind the suits skirt armor, the Strike IWSP swings it right arm forward mimicking the Rouge. The suits fingers move forming a similar V formation, but due to the Gatling shield on the left arm, the hip pose was out of the question.

 

Unlike Athena, Kula was silent, but something else was behind her cute appearance. Kula moves stands of bluish hair from her eyes and tucks it into the side of her pink helmet. She pulls out a small pocket watch from her side pouch and flips it open. Her eyes focus on the Aegis, as she lets out a cute smile. On her team channel, Kula lets out a small giggle. "Athena..did you see that they color coordinated their mobile suits, talk about so last year. I think they need a change in style."

“Hai hai, its fine.” Athena said, in a semi-dejected voice, her spotlight stolen from her. Her mobile suit turned and surveyed its two opponents with green eyes, Aegis and Sword Calamity; the Coliseum could afford all these relics. Hopefully they had insurance down on them or else they would be in mighty big trouble when Athena was done. The Rouge drew its beam rifle and shield from its pack and appeared to be nodding; which was infact what its pilot was doing in a sense.

 

Athena winked, “You guys gotta try not to be so old with your styles!” she said; a small puff of steam venting from the mobile suit’s chest as she spoke. “Contrast is the groove now!” she continued, laughing before turning to the crowd once more and waving; even blowing a kiss with the Rouge’s rifle hand while doing the same with her real hand.

 

Athena switched back to team frequency while keeping her public channel on listen mode so that she could hear the enemy’s ineffective taunts, especially against two headstrong girls such as the Psycho Soldiers. “We’ll do what we did to those fan boys of yours. You know what to do, Kula-Chan!”

[OOC: Kinda obvious given what I've read so far about other people but my character here isn't ANYTHING like my main char. xD

winders: Understood. ]

 

After listening to his teammate's response, he calmed down...slightly and replied, "Very well...Echtal."

 

The veteran pilot looked over the data for the Aegis Gundam and noted that it was fairly well balanced and augmented with its MA mode.  He nodded as their suits were close enough complements in combat-style as he spoke again, "I am Samuel Arkan, Berzerker in this so-called 'arena.'"

 

Then he turned toward his opponents, who just emerged.  Both of them were using the Strike Gundam types, one with an Aile Striker pack and the other with an IWSP.  He ignored the pointless show that the Strike Rouge was putting on since he detested showmanship.  He was only here to test his skills against REAL combatants, not 'showgirls', in a somewhat controlled environment.  Then he heard one of them critique his team's color choices.  The taunt went past him like the smoke their fireworks shot out and promptly ignored it..

 

He manipulated his controls so that he drew his rightmost "Schwert Gewehr" anti-ship sword but didn't activate it, nor did he draw his other sword.  He also calibrated his "Scylla" 580mm multi-phase cannon so it fired strong, but short bursts to improve power usage, given the chance to actually hit such opponents with a full stream was rather unlikely.

 

He made sure to keep only his team freq opened as he spoke, "Suggestion.  Your suit has far more flight capacity.  It is obvious the opponent's Aile Strike will make full use of its flight capabilities.  So it's best if we even that out at the very least."

A siren went off in the far distance and Athena smiled and suddenly blasted off into the sky, thanks to its Aile Striker it could use the height to its advantage while still holding it. The two opponents were melee orientated mobile suits, making them tough to beat with just her two beam sabers. She’d have to wear them down with a barrage of Psycho Arrows from her beam rifle first and then finish them off close-range.

 

Blue energy streaked out from the Aile pack’s thrusters, she took careful aim and unleashed three volleys at each the Sword Calamity and the Aegis. Her plan was to destabilize them as soon as possible, an attempt to give them a slow start as opposed to herself.

 

Athena knew that the using the Aile’s function of flying was making her a nice target in the air, while she reframed from thinking of it as a fat target it still made her a target none-the-less. Thus, getting the advantage of pre-emptory attack in was critical.

[Fuku with Nodachi 0]

The surprised Endrance quickly twisted the Aegis' agile form to one side. A bright ray of green light flashed dangerously close to the steel-skinned warrior, colliding with the frigid ground in a vigorous, bone-shaking explosion just a few meters behind him. Aided by his thrusters, the Aegis darted to the left as two more bolts raced toward his previous location. Echtel gave out a short sigh of relief at the near miss. He was so distracted at the 'show' the opponents put up that he barely noticed the blaring siren signifying the start of the match. Not in his wildest dreams did he imagine this kind of scenario unfold, with him pitted against two of the Arena's most highly anticipated.... and so far, most dramatic pilots.

 

"Glad to know we're thinking along the same lines, Samuel. The skies are safe," Echtel flashed a reassuring smile, accompanied by a lazy two-fingered salute. His eyes, flaring with enthusiasm, affixed themselves on the two opponents. Activating an open channel, the esteemed pilot spoke: "What a surprise! Our enemies are the famous Psycho Soldiers." He began, as a sudden burst of sound escaped from the Aegis' thrusters. Fiery blue flames shimmered as the crimson knight lifted himself toward the heavens. Echtel closed his eyes in satisfaction and drew a deep breath, taking in the rhythmic hum of the engines.

 

His intense blue eyes flashed open, a confident smile spreading through his lips. "It is an honor to have the chance to cross swords with you. I am called Echtel Endrance.  Kula Diamond, Athena Asamiya, let's see if all that fanfare is worth something!" And with that challenge, the Aegis snapped its nimble figure into the mobile attack mode and swung itself toward Athena. With a roar of its mighty engines, the crimson rocket-knife blasted toward the Aile Strike in a burst of speed.

Kula lets out a smile, as the battle seemed to have started without her. The IWSP engines flare letting out a bluish hue and blasts off into the sky. The suit's yellow eyes flash brightly, while the left shield arm flails forward. The crosshairs move in front of the Aegis's current heading, and Kula pulls on the trigger. The shield Gatling starts to let out a winding noise while the barrel rotates. With a loud grinding sound, bullets start to exit the multiple barrels. A hail of bullets rip through the artificial  snow directed toward the current Target. Kula corrected the thrust and strafes in a pattern trying to match the Aegis with the thrust from the IWSP.

 

"Your trajectory is a bit off, allow me to correct it." She lets out a grin, knowing full well that the shells would do no damage to the armor, but it would pushes the Aegis into a erratic trajectory. Since the mobile armor lacked wings, it would be unable to stabilize itself. Unless it were to transform again. Kula runs a few options through her head, analyzing the Aegis's sudden attack on Athena's Rouge. Her focus turns slightly to the other member of Endrance's team, the pilot of the Sword Calamity. After firing the barrage of bullets, Kula switches to the 115mm railguns. She held her finger on the trigger waiting for a moment to strike.

 

Kula's eyes keep pacing back and forth from her panels. Constantly relaying tactical information to Athena's unit. a minimized window showing the Sword Calamity opens up in the top right corner of her center monitor. Kula flips a few switches, and brings up the heat detector. Using this, she would be able to easily know when a Scylla would be fired. Kula is the self appointed bodyguard of Athena, somewhat quiet, but something else hides behind her content expressions. It seems almost malevolent in nature, but who knows when it would surface. Kula's eyes continue to stare at the Aegis, it caused a fire to burn deep in her heart.

Because he was focused on waiting for the match to begin, the Aile Strike's pre-emptive attack was far too predictable.  He simply side-stepped just as the Strike fired its beam rifle and watched impassively as the trio of green beams zipped past.  Then he heard Echtal's response and watched as his teammate took flight...but charged directly at the Aile Strike.

 

"Watch for the other Strike," he said plainly as he dashed forward.  He made sure to move in an erratic pattern, making full use of available cover given his inherent range disadvantage.  He even used the buildings as leverage as he 'boosted' off.  This helped him move around faster while making him a difficult target while conserving thruster energy.  Then he heard a loud roar as the Strike IWSP fired its Gatling at the Aegis.  He continued to move in an erratic manner, but toward the IWSP, as he drew his beam boomerang with his left hand.  However, he did not 'ignite' either of the blades yet.  His eyes narrowed as they darted back and forth between different consoles and the HUD, keeping an eye on his opponents and his teammate simultaneously.

“Oh yeah, come right to Athena…” she muttered, her radio set to team chatter; as the red form of the Aegis closed distance with her the beam rifle was pointed at her target, aiming. Her eyes wandered off to her other display, Kula had taken the other opponent’s attention it seemed; it was in a ‘ready-for anything’ stance unlike the one rushing towards her. “Someone’s impatient.” She muttered, checking the range finder on both targets.

 

Just as the Aegis was several meters away from her she unleashed a volley of beam energy straight for it before disengaging thrusters and re-engaging them, thrusting forward at a lower altitude toward the Sword Calamity and snapping off another shot at it. Hopefully if she played it out well the Aegis would have to turn in a wide arc to come to bearing at Athena thanks to its Mobile Armour form.

[Fuku with Nodachi 0]

"Whoa," Echtel exclaimed, as he heard a loud hammering noise. It was the unmistakable sound of automatic fire. Being the first from his team to advance, he had a good guess of who the firearm was pointing at. A hurried somersault reverted the Aegis into its more agile form as Kula's stream of gunfire blazed threateningly in front of Echtel's machine. His focus quickly shifted toward Kula as he weaved around the brief salvo of Gatling fire. The bullets roared past the Aegis, sending vibrations throughout the enthusiastic pilot's body.

 

As he soared upward to evade the last of the attack, a series of rifle shots violently tore through the air with him as the intended target. Adrenaline pumped through Echtel's veins as he performed a barrel roll to the right. Intense concentration reflecting in his eyes, he mumbled, "...won't be cornered like that." Taking a deep breath, Echtel Endrance engaged the streams of light in a dazzling death-dance, sailing closer and closer to the airborne Strike-twin with each elegant evasion. Exhausting as it was, he could feel his heart leap with every move he made. In this snow-covered battlefield, his soul was at home.

 

He soared through the air, free from the debilitating cage of Gatling and beam fire. The Aegis took careful aim at Athena, taking advantage of her preoccupation with the Sword Calamity. "Sorry, but I'm not the kind of pilot you'd want to leave unattended." Echtel said with a nonchalant smile. A brilliant beam of green light lanced through the stratosphere, racing towards the enemy.

[Wilhelm 0]

Kula looks away with a disgusted expression on her face. "I guess I'm not important am I?" She shakes her head showing a furious look in her eyes. She grips the throttle, and pushes its forward. A large burst or thrust exits the vernier propelling the mobile suit toward its target. The computer lets out a loud beep, as the calculations for a boomerang trajectory displays on a mini window. Kula licks her lips, and lets out a smirk.

 

"Sorry, but I just take take being ignored!" The Beam boomerang pops up on the shield; the Strikes free hand moves over and grabs the handle. Kula pulls the boomerang back, and swings it forward, the purple beam extending from the emitter. She lets go, sending the boomerang on its set course. Its target the back of the Aegis.

[liubei013 0]

As he slowly closed the distance with the Strike IWSP, he glanced over just in time to see the Aile Strike deftly counter and avoid the Aegis' charge.  He watched as the Strike descended and then burst toward HIM as it snapped off a hasty shot.  Samuel made a slight juke to avoid the beam, putting his use of erratic movements and the terrain to his advantage.  He also noted that the Aegis managed to fully recover, despite the Gatling/beam successive attacks.  Then it seemed to pursue the Aile Strike as it readied its rifle. 

 

Samuel decided not to change target for now as to avoid friendly fire but as he turned back, the IWSP took flight and threw its beam boomerang at the Aegis' back.  He instantly responded as his targeting computer already made trajectory calculations since it too has necessary data for beam boomerangs.  Then he twisted his suit and fired a short burst of his 'Scylla' cannon at the beam boomerang.  Without checking the result, he ran at a building, jumped so the suit's feet were on the wall before bounding off as he engaged his thrusters.  Then he boosted straight at the Aile Strike as he finally ignited his anti-ship sword and beam boomerang.

 

"Echtal, I'm moving on the Aile," he said to his teammate as he quickly closed the distance...

OOC: Got the green from Kaizer to continue

 

Athena was no rookie, but neither was she no elite, she was just professional. As she surged towards the Calamity Athena would be flying in a direct line, an easy target. Something that a Psycho Soldier was not, as she moved forward towards her enemy she made random movements that brought her forward; zipping left, right, down, up. A beam blast shot past her, informing her of the Aegis’s target acquision.

 

Nothing to worry about, she smiled cockily; as another beam surged past her, this time from the opposite direction, the Strike IWSP piloted by Kula had thrown its beam boomerang at the Aegis and now was engaging the red foe.

 

Keeping her eyes forward she watched as the Calamity did a quick manoeuvre, bouncing off a building as a vertical springboard right at her. Quickly, Athena switched the rifle to her shield arm and drew a single beam saber. Despite her gun being on the off-arm, the heaviness of the combined weapon and shield load did not affect the aim much; a quick shot before contact would suffice.

 

Narrowing her eyes she mentally counted down the time until they would collide, quickly she snapped off a shot as the enemy mobile suit ignited a beam boomerang and an anti-ship sword; hopefully the beam she had just shot would make him attempt to veer off course in an attempt to dodge, it didn’t have a shield after all.

 

Athena continued her charge at the more formidable mobile suit, keeping her rifle down this time as her beam saber was prepared to swing.

((OOC:  It has been five days since Winders last posted, and the turn order dictates that Fuku_With_Nodachi should be the next to post.  Since he has yet to reply in this time period, nor has he given word to me that he would be AFK, I have no choice but to disqualify him.  The turn order is now as such:  Winders, Wilhelm, Liubei.  It is Wilhelms turn to post.  Thank you for your time, now if you excuse me, I have to go drag Fuku and his mech to the penelty box....  ))

[align=center]Kula glares, as the blasts of plasma flies past the boomerang causing it to veer off course. It spins around and returns to the Strike's hand. Her eyes turn to the Sword Calamity, it was starting to become a nuescance. With a grip correction on her console, she puts the boomerang back onto its shield charger, and pulls out the beam rifle.

 

Kula lets out a sigh regaining her composure and looks at the enemy below. Sweat rolls down her cheek and soaks the inner padding of the helmet. Kula pushes a button, while the beam cannons on the suits back start to turn and rotate. The targeting system lets out a loud beep, as it tries to home in at sword calamity. Kula shakes her head, knowing there wouldnt be enough time to hit it, fires it near the ground in an attempt to hinder its mobility. Two blasts of green beam energy exit the barrels toward the feet and street underneath her new target.[/align]

[OOC: Ah well.  *imagines Kaizer bending down in a Destroy and plucking the Aegis away* O_o

I'm am soooo screwed. xD

Wilhelm: My suit's in the air, somewhat. ]

 

As he approached the flying suit, he noticed that the Strike drew its beam saber as it switched its rifle to its shield arm.  His eyes narrowed as he anticipated the green glow as the rifle was about to fire.  He quickly raised his left arm, cranked the wrist down, and fired his left "Panzer Eizen" rocket anchor.  The flat, dual blade claw-like weapon shot out just as the Strike closed in and fired.  The beam, whether it was due to luck, hit the anchor, essentially shielding the S.Calamity from direct harm.  His HUD blinked as it notified him that half of the anchor was blown off.  He didn't mind since it did the job of diffusing the beam.  He quickly retracted the anchor and closed in.

 

Just before he launched his counterattack, he saw a green flash of light as a beam whizzed past several meters below him.  He realized two things at that very moment: 1) The IWSP refocused her attack on him.  2) His so-called teammate was suddenly removed...probably disqualified due to some reason or other.

 

He put those concerns behind as he finally was in range as he launched a one-two combo with a slash of his anti-ship sword and a stab with his beam boomerang.

((OOC: Still looks good, so keep going guys.  You guys might want to discuss altering your turn order to help give Liubei a fighting chance, as the current order allows winders and wilhelm to team up fairly easily; might I suggest winders, liubei, wilhelm, liubei ?  Also, I don't use a Destroy Gundam to pull out disqualified members, I use the SRX    ))

As her beam shot impacted smartly against the rocket anchor, Athena smiled. A sudden combination consisting of a slash of the heavy anti-ship sword and a stab using the beam boomerang gave her the sudden edge. As the beam energy was still fading from slamming into the anchor, covering her movements partially; she took the slash smartly on her own shield, using it’s momentum to push her towards the ground, swinging her mobile suit’s legs around so that they were first to head towards her opponent now.

 

Immediately before she hit the ground however, she activated her thrusters so that she hovered below her enemy’s torso while still moving forward, this manoeuvre allowed her to dodge the stab from the beam boomerang while giving her a clear attack at her opponent’s belly. Quickly, she hefted the left arm upwards so that the anti-ship sword digging into her shield was raised up, hopefully off balancing her opponent before she swung her right beam sabre for the upper torso of the opponent mobile suit.

 

Her opponent seemed to be slightly distracted throughout this whole ordeal however, Athena didn’t know what from but judging from the beam blasts that collided harmlessly in the ground below her it was one of the two other combatants.

[liubei013 0]

Samuel grinned with pleasure as he knew that this match would be most interesting.  He knew the chances of leaving his body open after his attacks were high, so it was only obvious his opponent would take advantage of that.  As the saber closed, Sam wrestled the right control stick.  The S.Calamity used the Strike's shield arm movement to literally elevate itself up, essentially performing a one-armed handstand.  It wasn't perfect as the beam saber skimmed over the 'belly' of the suit, scorching armor away.  Also, Sam heard a abnormal groan as the hydraulics on the right arm began to stress.  One of his displays showed that the stress tolerance of the right arm began to shift deep into the yellow zone, bordering the red.

 

"It's all about pushing the limits," Sam thought as he checked; the beam saber cut didn't damage any critical systems, though he may need some help in getting out of this suit after the match.  He quickly turned (while still upside down) and fired a quick blast with his Scylla cannon at the approaching IWSP before twisting away, freeing his sword and arm from the Aile's shield.  A quick thruster boost got him back away from the Aile Strike as he sheathed his beam boomerang and finally drew his second anti-ship sword.  He quickly got into a stance where the tips of both swords were pointing at both of his opponents, left sword at the Aile, right sword at the IWSP.

[Wilhelm 0]

[align=center]The Scylla beam flies through the air, burning the artificial snow instantly. Kula lets out a laugh, and easily manipulates the controls. The IWSP responds with simple maneuver. With a burst of thrust from its vernier, it strafes to the right sending pressure against Kula's body. The Scylla shot roars past the mobile suit, causing the heat to rise exponentally. Reacting to the rise in heat coolant starts to discharge from the chest vents. The internal temperature, and components under the armor start to cool off.

 

"That was some fancy footwork..." Kula licks her lips, "Its getting me all fired up inside." She lets out a grin showing her clenched teeth. A sinister expression covered her face, a strand of hair that was tucked in the helmets padding falls covering her right eye. The IWSP boosts to the ground and slams into the road below causing it to crack apart. Using a bombed out Sky Scraper as cover, Kula presses the trigger for the shield Gatling. The IWSP responds, extending its left arm out and fires the Gatling. High velocity rounds spray out the chamber melting the snow and further cracking the ground below. [/align]

[liubei013 0]

As soon as he settled his suit down, he saw the IWSP blazing in as it deftly avoided the Scylla beam.  His eyes narrowed as the IWSP hit the ground and took cover.  He quickly cranked his control sticks, causing his suit to move laterally toward a nearby building just as the IWSP's Gatling buzzed away.  Sam managed to avoid the full brunt of the blast but several shots hit just as he found cover.  A quick glance at his HUD indicated that his TP armor drained slightly as shells hit various locations around his suit's left arm and chest plating.  His eyes darted back and forth as he moved around, using the available cover as much as possible.

 

He grinned as he knew that both the Aile and IWSP would work in concert to defeat him, so he attempted to prepare himself against any attack from any direction...
