<Dez_Visir> <A figure breaks apart the waves as it approaches Wallace Cove...the V-Fin on its head glares in the light of the setting sun. Its pilot is grim and determined....>

<Dez_Visir> <Dez sits on the deck of Memoria, sighing. He had decided to just take a rest...> I wonder how things are going...

<Avalon[Sean]> <He looks up, noticing the sensor data.> Could've sworn... <Gundanium alloy... due to its unique properties, it is still problematic to detect. Though new sensor technology can get a clearer lock on it, it is still somewhat elusive to modern equipment. No longer a ghost, the Gundam's have become ominous spectres. Perhaps this is even more disconcerting...>

<Avalon[Sean]> That's odd. <Comm, Memoria> Dez, you there?

<Dez_Visir> <The figure, now visible as the Ryuujin Zwei, lifts from the crest of a wave and ascends higher, taking a better position with which it can strike at the main defenses of the Cove.>

<Dez_Visir> [Comm] Yeah...what's up?

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> I could have sworn something was out there... does the ship's sensor system read anything?

<Dez_Visir> [Comm] Uh...yeah.......let me check. Hmmm....there's a suit out there, yeah. I thought it was one of theirs.

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> They're loading right now... but, this thing's inbound. <stops> Crap! It's got to be a colony suit!

<Dez_Visir> [Comm] You're kidding me.....augh....and it's got Gundanium. I don't think we need to guess who it is.

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> Grand. I'll head him off. We can't let him leave here... he's seen the facility. 

<Dez_Visir> [Comm] Right. I'll go out in Revolver....don't try to take him head on though, Sean....he's more dangerous than you know.

<Avalon[Sean]> <Avalon suddenly blasts off, kicking up a storm of sand along the beach, and carving a path along the water as its binders open. The suit's cray slides into place as it flies in towards the target.> Ryuujin... 

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> Hmph.....not Revolver.....

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <Adrian smiles while the Ryuujin Zwei banks slightly to the left, Tenchu Blasers warming up for an attack>

<Avalon[Sean]> <Sean's suit is alligned with a dozen templates of MS line data. Finally, a Grenadier schematic locks over its image.> [Comp] <Probable match, variation detected. Proceed with caution.>

<Avalon[Sean]> Got to watch myself.... <he levels off, suddenly rising high, Cray aimed down. Locking on to the left arm's Blaser, he fires.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <The shots land perfectly, disabling one of the Blasers. Adrian was caught off guard, but not for long. He retaliates with his right Blaser, letting an arrow-shaped blast rip from the columns and tear towards the Avalon>

<Avalon[Sean]> Great.... <He hurtles towards the blast at full speed, and then tilts right. The energy brushes by his right arm, tearing loose armored plating, exposing servos, and ripping away the Cray.>

<Avalon[Sean]> <The Avalon suddenly flexes its 'wings,' letting them fold back. Dozens of small verniers ignite, propelling it forward. The Tachi blade slides around, slipping into a direct jab.> ((Wallace Cove.))

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <The Tenchu Blaser releases another blast, aimed for the Avalon's right wing. At the same time, it draws its own Beam Saber and prepares for melee combat.>

<Avalon[Sean]> <The wing ruptures, shards of metal and fused electronics hurtling back. A trail of smoke follows as the Tachi slips left, towards the suit's right arm Blaser.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <The Ryuujin Zwei attempts to glide to the left as the tachi goes by in a dodging maneuver, but the blade slices over a vital control beam mechanism and detonates it cleanly, disabling the remaining Blaser. Growling, Adrian swings for a dismembering blow at the Avalon's left leg>

<Avalon[Sean]> <The Tachi blade swings around as the Ryuujin's Heaven's Edge just bites into the leg armor, blocking its progress. In terms of physical strength, the suit's seem nearly even. Sparks and electricity begin to fly outward.>

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> You're not leaving here, Adrian... <The Tachi begins to push the Edge back.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <The Ryuujin Zwei engages full vernier and boosts forward with a sudden increase speed, flipping over the Avalon and tearing a path through its shoulder as it lands on the other side.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> [Comm] Go back to piloting school, kid. <Ryuujin Zwei launches its left foot into the Avalon's back, knocking it forward>

<Avalon[Sean]> <He looks down at the controls, watching one of panoramic monitors flicker. As the Avalon pitches forward, its remaining wing fire, lifting it around, and allowing it to flip. The suit pushes back to Ryuujin at full thrust, blade arcing low in a shoulder cut.>

<Avalon[Sean]> [Blane] <He shrugs, and starts walking on>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <Ryuujin Zwei meets the blade swing with its Heaven Edge, blocking the attack. Once again, the two warriors are locked...>

<Avalon[Sean]> <Avalon's second Tachi slides off its shield and into the left hand, igniting. Bracing the right blade on Ryuujin's own, Sean, swings the left around.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <Adrian seems to see the move coming before Sean even goes for it, as he forces the blade to the side to unbalance the Avalon while knocking it away.> [Comm] Dez didn't tell ya...I'm a high ranking psychic. It's a shame, you've already lost this fight according to the odds....what's it like to be a living dead man?

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> [Revolver, Comm] "I don't know...you tell me." <A huge Mag Revolver slug tears through the Ryuujin Zwei's cockpit, shreading Gundanium and igniting them to red hot sheets as it goes through. The slug lands in the water below and detonates, creating a bubble of force that eventually breaks and sprays the surface.>

<Ryuujin-Z[Adrian]> <Adrian didn't even get the chance to scream. As the slug tore through beyond the speed of sound, it mashed him in the metal and melted his body along with the seat he was sitting in. His face fuses with the console as the slug exits, compartment and all. A Gundam's dead frame falls, once again, into the sea>

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> .... About... time. <his suit lurches forward, both blades lowering.>

<Revolver[Dez]> I got here too late.....[Comm] It's a miracle I even got it started this time.

<Avalon[Sean]> <Comm> Right... glad you made it. <He looks over the embankment> Shame to waste it... <grins> Looks like we've got some spare parts, though. 

<Revolver[Dez]> <Revolver leans its MagRevolver weapon on its shoulder in a vaguely humanoid manner, floating above the water> [Comm] I'm sure the UA would love to get their grubby hands on the technology the Colonies were using...

<Avalon[Sean]> Well, why not let them settle for the jinxed machine. <he glares back towards Revolver.>

<Revolver[Dez]> It's still got the pilot's fresh blood all over it...but I'm sure they don't care about that. Bigger, badder mobile suits is their business....just inform them of the location and let's get back to Memoria.

<Avalon[Sean]> Sure... <he levels off, following.>
