15:37:11 Deathscythe was soon, as well as his Gundam, enveloped in a blazing sandstorm. Luckily though, he'd been able to make it into the Gundam Deathscythe before any serious amounts of sand and such were able to get into his eyes ears or nostrils. This was absolute perfect; the sandstorm completely cutting out visibility of himself as well as his Hyper JAmmers, he'd be completely invisible to the enemy though he had limited power for the Jammers left. His right hand moved, sliding upon the joystick as he pulled the Gundam upwards into a standing position slowly. The wings which were usually arched upwards from its shoulders folded down, protecting the cracks and crevices of the pilots cockpit from the sand. The boosters on he back of the Gundam however, ignited, sending him into the air some 60 feet as it took up its usual flying position --- Right knee bent towards the ground with the left leg completely extended and the scythe carried at an angle across its chest. Only difference now was, the wings weren't out giving <C>
15:37:47 Deathscythe it the demonic form that made its presence ominous to those both spiritually and mentally. That was the beauty of he and his Gundam, they were just as deadly in a mental fashion as in the physical and ability department.
15:42:43 Tallgeese_III frowned, turning....He could feel it...Comething coming. His comm line to base crackled open, and he turned. "This is convoy to New Los Vegas base, we're two minutes out. Prepare to accept the supplies, and move to envelope our formation...All mobile suit pilots, suit up!" The call would go out over the base, alerting all of the pilots that they needed to suit up and be ready to accept the convoy into the base. Tallgeese just twisted, still checking it's scanners before it's pilot remembered something. "He...He was invisible...I never saw him on sensors...We never saw him, Tallgeese!" The eyes of the Mobile Suit glowed as it twisted, his main camera pushed up to highest resolution as he scanned the low visibility, cursing. "Convoy, move to top speed! All perishables are to be dumped! Leo's, cover, Aries, continue sweeping." He barked, flying backwards now. "This is Tallgeese III to base, scramble all prototypes and get them out here..." The convoy would be sliding into the <C>
15:43:39 Tallgeese_III <C> base in less than a minute, the Leo escort stepping in with it as the more advanced High-mobility types the base used stepped in to cover it in enveloping formation...The location of the base, behind a larger man-made cliff, lessened the effects of the storm significantly...The visibility was only slightly reduced here.,
15:51:44 Freedom heard the word over the comm finishing the uploads and installs quickly as serins and alarms buzzed piolts rushing to there suits. Alex was not in her flight suit to piolt but stuffed the laptop down bedisde he seat and closed the hatch starting te gundam up as it came to life with a low humm. " Oh Freedom my friend lets go do some good and help our friends... " the eyes of the freedom flashed as she and the others moved to exit the base. The base was on high alart every able piolt was in a suit Alex waited a few minutes closeing her eyes and saying a small prayer to herself before she would even leave the docking station. Opening a comm channel to the tallgeese.. ' Col this is Artimis we are ready and waiting your arival to the base, welcome to New Los Vegas.. " she would say before closing the comm down.
16:04:33 Deathscythe 's Gundam landed upon the sand and it seemed like he had too much speed to stop, but the sand indeed caught the momentum of the Gundam and brought it to a slow and steady stop no more then 4 Kilometers off from New Las Vegas. Where his enemy had gone to he had no idea but given the situations that mother nature had provided, they couldn't have gone far plus, the only real re-supply area was around NLV anyways. The town couldn't have been harboring OZ, could it? considering the Earth was virtually protected on all fronts could OZ have somehow created a base or fortress this far out in the desert? Smart indeed, he knew it. But doubts still occupied his mind but at the same time, where had that convoy came from and that truck... Hunter - " Well Deathscythe.. maybe the enemy is smarter then they let on. But who are we to just waltz in and end it immediately, if it is in fact there. Let's.. have some fun? "
16:10:38 Tallgeese_III just twisted, watching as the convoy disappeared into the base, his eyes narrowing as he took a slow breath a relief and turned, opening the channel. "Thanks for the warm welcome, Artimis. I'm just glad we could get the convoy in in case something happened...If you wouldn't mind, form up on me and switch your deep-scan sensors to the frequency that I'm transmitting." He tapped a few keys along the front of the Mobile suit, it's eyes glowing as it transmitted the frequency and then he turned, the Tallgeese beginning to plod away from the base, as he explained. "I think that somewhere out here, theres a Gundam...I rushed the convoy, and hopefully that will confuse the pilot...If you and I can catch him off guard, then we can take him out as well as the one I <C>
16:12:11 Tallgeese_III <C> "brought down yesterday." He told her surely, eyes narrowing as he canted his head. "Tallgeese to base, can you check for any signs of minor wind-speed anomalies besides the two about a klik away from the base?" The radio hissed. "Sir, we've got one about 4 kilometers north. It was moving earlier, so we thought it was a Leo, but it's still out there." He nodded. "Good job...I'll stay in touch. Tallgeese Out."
16:15:34 Freedom smirked reciving the the frequency setting the scanners to it as the 360 hud displayed it all to her, quickly enigiting her jets bounding behind Tallgeese. ' Sure thing Orion should be worth some fun to see what this gundam can do, and i have been curious to see what my new Freedom can handle and do. " she would say over a private comm between her and the Tallgeese. Artimis enjoyed a challenge specialy since this storm made things so much more fun and intresting.. " A big game of cat and mouse Freedom.. " she would say softly to herslef as she relaxed into her seat.
16:24:31 Deathscythe stayed quiet, himself thinking and going over multiple readings that had immediately come onto his sensors. Something about the convoy still irked him, the truck mroe specifically. To any other pilot it was just that, a truck. But to him it was an important piece of evidence. Raising his right hand from the joystick he flipped the Hyper Jammers on, then pressing a button as the wings of the Deathscythe were once more extended upwards and his hand replaced itself on the stick. The Gundam soon launched off the ground, shooting straight up it seemed as it ignited its second set of boosters on the wings now to move even quicker. Soon after doing so he was up, high above the sandstorm gazing down using only his heat sensors to scope out the area below him. Though the sensors were going haywire, due to the heat of the sand in the sandstorm, there were clear blips here and there that were Mobile Suits and maybe, that Tallgeese.
16:30:14 Tallgeese_III continued forward, until the comm crackled again. "Sir, the signal disappeared! There was a sudden altitude flux, and then it was off...If I had to make a guess-" Orion cut him off, growling. "He flew above the storm...Damn him! He's better than a thought, but that doesnt matter..." The Tallgeese twisted, Mega Cannon swinging up as it clicked into place on his shoulder. He swung the gun upward, pointing it towards the sky as numerous scanners filtered through one another, until he hit the EMS, or Electro-magnetic Sensor. There was just a blue dot in the sky, amongst a massive black sheet...Well, he could take a shot...</i>" There was a crackle, the barrel of the Mega Cannon splitting open, revealing two long forks that vibrated slightly as long gouts of energy began to surge up towards the tip, power gathering in the rifle before he pulled the trigger, a massive white beam of energy exploding forth, the sheer force of the blast causing the Tallgeese to drop into a crouch. It would take only a <C>
16:30:47 Tallgeese_III <C> scant couple of seconds to reach the Deathscythe, the beam shooting straight up, it's own silvery sword of charged particles...
16:37:42 Deathscythe kept the Gundam hovering as he scanned continuasily, monitoring the blips closest to him. From below came a bright light which he instantly knew what it was. Accepting his fate he lowered his head, grinning as he waited for the impact. There was a bright light.. then silence came... -Will continue this in the next post, wants to do a cliffhanger thing.-
16:40:47 Tallgeese_III :: The cannon subsided slowly, beam narrowing before it flickered and faded, leaving errant particles to float in the air, creating a strange stitching pattern upward into the sky as his eyes narrowed. The beam had split the storm, tearing the clouds open and giving him a clear view as he activated the EMS again, performing a quick scan to see if he'd taken out the Gundam. If he had, it had been painfully easy...Then again, maybe the pilot hadnt noticed Tallgeese...His hands stayed on his controls, though, and his eyes narrowed behind the mask he wore.
16:43:50 Deathscythe sat for the longest time, listening and pondering. The sins of today, would they have determined his life now? this life after death? Just then, a reading from the Gundam awoke him, his mind hands and body completely readjusting to the cockpit he was in as if it was his natural position to be sitting right there. He was intact, not a scratch on him. " How.. " he said quietely as more of a statement, then a question and it took minutes literally to figure it out and before he knew it, observing the storm he was given his answer. The sand, being a conductor for heat had conducted the heat from the ray and he'd been hit with only 500 degrees or so of it, hardly enough to even affect a Gundam. 'Twas funny how Mother Nature had prevented his death this time as he focused in, seeing Tallgeese at the bottom of the circular hole his cannon had punched through the sand storm.
16:46:59 Tallgeese_III gritted his teeth as he saw the Deathscythe, the cannon crackling again as more energy focused into the tip. "No sand left, pilot...This time, the beam will destroy you!" He fired again, this shot only slightly narrower, arching upward with the intent of slamming into Deathscythe, hitting him squarely and simply vaporing the entire upper-half of his Gundam. As soon as he's fired the cannon a second time he shed it, dropping the massive weapon onto the ground before his backpack vernier's fired and he launched himself upward, arching into the air on plumes of cobalt fire. The Tallgeese reached down, draging it's beam saber from the shield's charging station as he rushed the other mobile suit.
16:51:04 Deathscythe this time was ready. The beam was indeed close but missed with the simple alteration of a bit more boost added to the left wing sent his Gundam swaying out of its path. Then the foot boosters were ignited, sending himself speeding directly towards Tallgeese, the end up near Deathscythes shoulder igniting with that mettalic green sabre. His comm link opened and if it was accepted by Orion, he'd recieve the following message though staticy, " Said goodbye, to friends and family? if not, too bad, I won't give you that luxury.. "
16:55:32 Tallgeese_III just arched through the sky, it's beam saber humming hungrily as the distance between Tallgeese and Deathscythe became less and less, the shield mounted on the mobile suit's arm swung up, even as the saber was brought back, ready for a strike when they finally met. He heard the com, grinning. "I'll give you that luxury, when I kill you, God of Death..You can meet all of your aquaintances in Hell, since they'll be joining soon after you!" He pushed both of the controls forward, sending the Tallgeese into a crazy climb, the boosters powerful enough to make him climb as fast as Deathscythe fell..
16:58:37 Deathscythe in his cock pit grinned, not on the comm. link noww but speaking to Deathscythe, " Deathscythe.. LET'S TAKE HIM TO TELL WITH US! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!!!!!!" was heard as he gave a violent roar, the lower right portion of the scythe read to block any swings at the lower areas as he adjusted the scythe slight, aiming it directly towards the oncoming Gundams sabre.
17:03:01 Tallgeese_III wasnt stupid. His eyes narrowed and he pushed the controls even harder forward, the Tallgeese giving a suddeny fwoosh as it's vernier's opened up as well and the speed-stress sent him flying into the back of the command couch. Even Deathscythe might be surprised by the sudden burst as the mobile suit leapt forward, it's pilot's teeth gritted. "Tallgeese....Give me your strength!" The saber was dropped, sliding backwards as the mobile suit spun, catching it in his shield hand in a well-timed manuever to throw off the other pilot. The energy blade hummed as it came up on the Gundam's opposite side, where the scythe couldnt block, even as Tallgeese's thrusters cut and he fell slightly, grabbing the mid-section of that scythe to try and hold it in place.
17:08:21 Deathscythe grinned and knew the Tallgeese was fast; the most dangerous Gundam to its pilot as it had even given Milliardo a heart attack from what he read after first piloting it. The Gundams left hand remained on the center of the scythe but he himself wasn't stupid. As the sadre came at his side, the boosters on that left wing once more were shifted into maximum output, using the strength of Tallgeese against him to cirtually use the rod as a stationary object. This sent the Deathscythe literally spinning by its hand around, raising its right foot to send that massive spike directly towards the rear of the cockpit area.
17:12:22 Tallgeese_III twisted, even as Orion saw the attack coming, his teeth gritted as the saber was swung back, the massive shield on the side of it's arm brought forward as the bend of Deathscythe's knee hit it, meaning that the spike was just short of connecting. The comm crackled. "So sorry, Deathscythe...Now..It's over!" The Tallgeese shifted backwards, hand still on the scythe as it abandoned the beam saber, dropping it in order to grab the energy weapon with the other hand and fold it's legs into it's body, pistoning them out as roughly and quickly as possibly, both flat feet going to slam into the stomach area, right where the cockpit was, rocking it immensely. Orion just pressed the footpedals as hard as he could, to the point where either the Deathscythe let go of it's weapon, or had it's arms ripped off...Right when the bone-white OZ suit was about to hit it's limit, Orion fired the vernier's, blue flames shooting forth, also slamming into the cockpit, giving him extra leverage to jerk the arms off the <C>
17:19:39 Deathscythe kept close track of the situation and knew just by the pressure rating the arms were recieving, he had to let go of that scythe. But even as he did, his other hand grasped ahold of the sabre before it fell too far. It seemed the weapons were shifted and now he was if anything, more dangerous wielding a one handed weapon given the intense speed his Gundam was capable of. Though he wasted no time, slashing at the legs of the Tallgeese using the beam to make up in the short distance between the two.
17:25:28 Tallgeese_III spun, jabbing the hilt of the scythe downward as soon as he got it, using the thickened gundanium to block his own saber as he dropped, shooting backwards in order to get some distance on the other mobile suit. Orion took a grand total of 10 seconds to get accustomed to using the scythe, before he stopped, raising the energy weapon, the long, curved energy blade humming dangerously as he raised it, letting the spine of the weapon rest along the length of his arm, held out to the side with the blade angled downward, his other hand free with the shield...
17:35:07 Deathscythe grinned and watched, the man being obviously impressive but Hunter having a secret to the scythe he'd yet to muster up and let known. He'd save that for last thought, his grand finale for the fight as without a moments hesitation he launched forward, at the last second igniting his back boosters to attempt ramming his Gundams left shoulder into the Tallgeese to try shaking him up a bit. The sabre as still clutched backwards at an angle so that if that scythe was implimented, he had a way of deflecting it.
17:39:33 Tallgeese_III saw the Deathscythe swinging in, sliding the scythe down to place the blade right at his chest, rushing in. If the Deathscythe tried to slam it's shoulder into the Tallgeese, it would find it's own blade buried into that arm, humming and crackling before the white mobile suit retro-fired it's vernier's, sending itself arching backward, flying away from the other as he spun through the air, backpack vernier's also engaging as it arched down towards the ground. The Tallgeese's mega cannon emitted a short-band electromagnetic pulse so that he could find it in situations with low visibility, which was exactly what he did, the scythe held to one side as the Tallgeese skimmed over the sand, it's free hand slamming into the ground, fingers closing around the grip before it jerked the cannon out of the sand and spun almost immediately, the barrel crackling before it began to prepare to fire...
17:45:09 Deathscythe used that odd angle that the sabre was held in, swinging it around directly for the now exposed left side of Tallgeese. He wanted more then anything to end it earlier but still that ace was up his sleeve and he knew to just bide his time. As Tallgeese seemingly departed Deathscythe could only watch and knew he had his chance. Inside the cock pit a hidden button was pressed and another switch flipped as he sat and watched then... without a moments hesitation, flipped the Overload switch to the Deathscythe, virtually causing it to implode with its own energy and hopefully blow up the arm / shoulder area that corresponded to the Tallgeese.
17:50:21 Deathscythe used that odd angle that the sabre was held in, swinging it around directly for the scythe to hopefully counter the weapon and stop himself, even if it meant pushing Tallgeese back a bit. He wanted more then anything to end it earlier but still that ace was up his sleeve and he knew to just bide his time.

17:53:18 Tallgeese_III boosted backwards, even as Orion gritted his teeth. Suddenly, there was a flash. The screen in front of him lit, a loud warning siren sounding off, telling him of a foreign energy gathering in the scythe. He cursed, throwing it straight in front of him before he swung his shield up to cover his cockpit, the explosion sending the Tallgeese arching into the ground, the massive body of the mobile suit slamming into the sand and sliding across it, before it came to a stop and slowly roll to it's feet, Orion shaking his head. "Damn...That was good..." There was minor damage all over the front of the Tallgeese, but it still raised it's cannon, charging for a split second before it fired a thin beam that would cut into the Deathscythe, arching through the air to hit it's right hip, hopefully damaging it somewhat. That would be the last shot he could take with the Cannon, though.
18:14:25 Deathscythe 's Gundam was hit by the beam this time, himself trying his damndest to move but still, a couple of feet in was damaged critically greatly cutting down on the maneuverability of that corrosponding leg. " Dammit! " Hunter yelled, slowly allowing his mobile suit to begin dropping before landning, shifting the majority of the weight to the still good leg. Now.. he had a sabre, Tallgeese only having a cannon that seemed dead. Finally, the battle was swaying in his own direction but still, that unjury was a critical one.
18:16:38 Tallgeese_III grinned and Tallgeese's head dropped slightly, before it stepped forward and began crossing the dunes towards Deathscythe. Even as he did it, the arm of the mobile suit reached in to pull it's second beam saber free, igniting the blade once it passed through the charging station as it hummed quietly. "You're finished, Deathscythe...Give up.." It was true...With lowered mobility, the Gundam was done for. The Tallgeese would move circled around it, and in the end cut it to pieces, unless he could somehow eliminate the seconde beam saber. No wonder Orion hadnt been truly worried about ditching the first one.
18:25:37 Deathscythe looked ahead through the monitor to his front, eyeing up the Tallgeese. He knew he was in fact in a very vulnerable position but to count him out now would've been foolish of anyone, even God himself. With that, the Vulcans to both sides of Deathscythes head instantly began rattling off shells at the oncoming Gundam, Deathscythe standing its ground with the sabre back a bit but still in front of itself, ready to 'sword fight' if you will..
18:29:11 Tallgeese_III :: As soon as the vulcans began to rattle the Tallgeese fell forward, vernier's catching him as he flew straight towards Deathscythe, the sword held to one side as he raised the shield to cover his body, bullets bouncing and whining off of it until he was right about to slam into the Gundam. Only then did he pull his ace, the saber swinging in from the right, forcing Deathscythe to block with his own before the shield arm fell back, suddenly snapping forward...The retractable heat rod mounted near the bottom lashed out, swinging down to slam into the Gundam's head. Sure, it was just the main camera, but it would still be a crippling blow to have Deathscythe's head torn off by the whip.
18:32:12 Deathscythe allowed a few seconds to allow Orion to become comfortable before he himself sent the Gundam into an immediate kneeling position. What did this do? it not only had him virtaully protected on all sides but spikes from those massive wings now were virtually, at least to Hunter, already beign pierced into Tallgeeses Gundam unless somehow he'd shifted his speed down considerably. There was so much more to this outfity that was meant as a weapon and he knew that was going to be a decisive advantage. The sabre blow of course being blocked as he hadn't even attempted to deflect it but instead let it fly over head as well.
18:54:47 Tallgeese_III grunted, jerking back on the controls as his vernier's retrofired, which came to his distinct advantave. Even as the force of those rockets kicked up sand, the sand would manage to obscure Deathscythe's vision just long enough for him to leap, arching over his head to land behind him, swinging straight down the middle of his back, right between the shield that the wings created, the whip lashing around his back, swinging above his head to be brought down in case Deathscythe spun. "You've got no chance! The effectiveness of your mobile suit has been tested! It's not good enough!"
18:59:39 Deathscythe once again was given that advantage to the speed. The screen in the upper right portion of the main hub showed Tallgeese landing behind him and given the position he was in, it was perfect. Pressing his Gundams hands into the sand, he slammed the joystick forward and pressed both pedals as hard to the floorboard as he could sending both massive feet back towards Orions Gundams chest in a violent and very furious mule kick like move. This hopefully would at least send TAllgeese back a bit if not completely send the Gundam onto its back.
19:02:17 Tallgeese_III gritted his teeth as those feet came forward, Tallgeese giving him the scantest of warning as it's vernier's automatically retro-fired and sent it backwards, the heat rob lashing out, moving to wrap around one of the legs before both of them impacted against it's chest, sending the mobile suit stumbling backwards. But, if successful, he'd jerk on the whip backwards, dragging Deathscythe off it's feet and towards him, the saber spinning back he caught it with the blade pointing downward. It would try to slam that humming blade of energy into the back of Deathscythe, right above the cockpit.
15:37:47 Deathscythe it the demonic form that made its presence ominous to those both spiritually and mentally. That was the beauty of he and his Gundam, they were just as deadly in a mental fashion as in the physical and ability department.
15:42:43 Tallgeese_III frowned, turning....He could feel it...Comething coming. His comm line to base crackled open, and he turned. "This is convoy to New Los Vegas base, we're two minutes out. Prepare to accept the supplies, and move to envelope our formation...All mobile suit pilots, suit up!" The call would go out over the base, alerting all of the pilots that they needed to suit up and be ready to accept the convoy into the base. Tallgeese just twisted, still checking it's scanners before it's pilot remembered something. "He...He was invisible...I never saw him on sensors...We never saw him, Tallgeese!" The eyes of the Mobile Suit glowed as it twisted, his main camera pushed up to highest resolution as he scanned the low visibility, cursing. "Convoy, move to top speed! All perishables are to be dumped! Leo's, cover, Aries, continue sweeping." He barked, flying backwards now. "This is Tallgeese III to base, scramble all prototypes and get them out here..." The convoy would be sliding into the <C>
15:43:39 Tallgeese_III <C> base in less than a minute, the Leo escort stepping in with it as the more advanced High-mobility types the base used stepped in to cover it in enveloping formation...The location of the base, behind a larger man-made cliff, lessened the effects of the storm significantly...The visibility was only slightly reduced here.,
15:51:44 Freedom heard the word over the comm finishing the uploads and installs quickly as serins and alarms buzzed piolts rushing to there suits. Alex was not in her flight suit to piolt but stuffed the laptop down bedisde he seat and closed the hatch starting te gundam up as it came to life with a low humm.

The base was on high alart every able piolt was in a suit Alex waited a few minutes closeing her eyes and saying a small prayer to herself before she would even leave the docking station.

Hunter - " Well Deathscythe.. maybe the enemy is smarter then they let on. But who are we to just waltz in and end it immediately, if it is in fact there. Let's.. have some fun? "
16:10:38 Tallgeese_III just twisted, watching as the convoy disappeared into the base, his eyes narrowing as he took a slow breath a relief and turned, opening the channel. "Thanks for the warm welcome, Artimis. I'm just glad we could get the convoy in in case something happened...If you wouldn't mind, form up on me and switch your deep-scan sensors to the frequency that I'm transmitting." He tapped a few keys along the front of the Mobile suit, it's eyes glowing as it transmitted the frequency and then he turned, the Tallgeese beginning to plod away from the base, as he explained. "I think that somewhere out here, theres a Gundam...I rushed the convoy, and hopefully that will confuse the pilot...If you and I can catch him off guard, then we can take him out as well as the one I <C>
16:12:11 Tallgeese_III <C> "brought down yesterday." He told her surely, eyes narrowing as he canted his head. "Tallgeese to base, can you check for any signs of minor wind-speed anomalies besides the two about a klik away from the base?" The radio hissed. "Sir, we've got one about 4 kilometers north.

He was intact, not a scratch on him. " How.. " he said quietely as more of a statement, then a question and it took minutes literally to figure it out and before he knew it, observing the storm he was given his answer. The sand, being a conductor for heat had conducted the heat from the ray and he'd been hit with only 500 degrees or so of it, hardly enough to even affect a Gundam. 'Twas funny how Mother Nature had prevented his death this time as he focused in, seeing Tallgeese at the bottom of the circular hole his cannon had punched through the sand storm.
16:46:59 Tallgeese_III gritted his teeth as he saw the Deathscythe, the cannon crackling again as more energy focused into the tip. "No sand left, pilot...This time, the beam will destroy you!" He fired again, this shot only slightly narrower, arching upward with the intent of slamming into Deathscythe, hitting him squarely and simply vaporing the entire upper-half of his Gundam. As soon as he's fired the cannon a second time he shed it, dropping the massive weapon onto the ground before his backpack vernier's fired and he launched himself upward, arching into the air on plumes of cobalt fire. The Tallgeese reached down, draging it's beam saber from the shield's charging station as he rushed the other mobile suit.
16:51:04 Deathscythe this time was ready. The beam was indeed close but missed with the simple alteration of a bit more boost added to the left wing sent his Gundam swaying out of its path. Then the foot boosters were ignited, sending himself speeding directly towards Tallgeese, the end up near Deathscythes shoulder igniting with that mettalic green sabre. His comm link opened and if it was accepted by Orion, he'd recieve the following message though staticy, " Said goodbye, to friends and family? if not, too bad, I won't give you that luxury.. "
16:55:32 Tallgeese_III just arched through the sky, it's beam saber humming hungrily as the distance between Tallgeese and Deathscythe became less and less, the shield mounted on the mobile suit's arm swung up, even as the saber was brought back, ready for a strike when they finally met. He heard the com, grinning. "I'll give you that luxury, when I kill you, God of Death..You can meet all of your aquaintances in Hell, since they'll be joining soon after you!" He pushed both of the controls forward, sending the Tallgeese into a crazy climb, the boosters powerful enough to make him climb as fast as Deathscythe fell..
16:58:37 Deathscythe in his cock pit grinned, not on the comm. link noww but speaking to Deathscythe, " Deathscythe.. LET'S TAKE HIM TO TELL WITH US! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!!!!!!" was heard as he gave a violent roar, the lower right portion of the scythe read to block any swings at the lower areas as he adjusted the scythe slight, aiming it directly towards the oncoming Gundams sabre.
17:03:01 Tallgeese_III wasnt stupid. His eyes narrowed and he pushed the controls even harder forward, the Tallgeese giving a suddeny fwoosh as it's vernier's opened up as well and the speed-stress sent him flying into the back of the command couch. Even Deathscythe might be surprised by the sudden burst as the mobile suit leapt forward, it's pilot's teeth gritted. "Tallgeese....Give me your strength!" The saber was dropped, sliding backwards as the mobile suit spun, catching it in his shield hand in a well-timed manuever to throw off the other pilot. The energy blade hummed as it came up on the Gundam's opposite side, where the scythe couldnt block, even as Tallgeese's thrusters cut and he fell slightly, grabbing the mid-section of that scythe to try and hold it in place.
17:08:21 Deathscythe grinned and knew the Tallgeese was fast; the most dangerous Gundam to its pilot as it had even given Milliardo a heart attack from what he read after first piloting it. The Gundams left hand remained on the center of the scythe but he himself wasn't stupid. As the sadre came at his side, the boosters on that left wing once more were shifted into maximum output, using the strength of Tallgeese against him to cirtually use the rod as a stationary object. This sent the Deathscythe literally spinning by its hand around, raising its right foot to send that massive spike directly towards the rear of the cockpit area.
17:12:22 Tallgeese_III twisted, even as Orion saw the attack coming, his teeth gritted as the saber was swung back, the massive shield on the side of it's arm brought forward as the bend of Deathscythe's knee hit it, meaning that the spike was just short of connecting. The comm crackled. "So sorry, Deathscythe...Now..It's over!" The Tallgeese shifted backwards, hand still on the scythe as it abandoned the beam saber, dropping it in order to grab the energy weapon with the other hand and fold it's legs into it's body, pistoning them out as roughly and quickly as possibly, both flat feet going to slam into the stomach area, right where the cockpit was, rocking it immensely. Orion just pressed the footpedals as hard as he could, to the point where either the Deathscythe let go of it's weapon, or had it's arms ripped off...Right when the bone-white OZ suit was about to hit it's limit, Orion fired the vernier's, blue flames shooting forth, also slamming into the cockpit, giving him extra leverage to jerk the arms off the <C>
17:19:39 Deathscythe kept close track of the situation and knew just by the pressure rating the arms were recieving, he had to let go of that scythe. But even as he did, his other hand grasped ahold of the sabre before it fell too far. It seemed the weapons were shifted and now he was if anything, more dangerous wielding a one handed weapon given the intense speed his Gundam was capable of. Though he wasted no time, slashing at the legs of the Tallgeese using the beam to make up in the short distance between the two.
17:25:28 Tallgeese_III spun, jabbing the hilt of the scythe downward as soon as he got it, using the thickened gundanium to block his own saber as he dropped, shooting backwards in order to get some distance on the other mobile suit. Orion took a grand total of 10 seconds to get accustomed to using the scythe, before he stopped, raising the energy weapon, the long, curved energy blade humming dangerously as he raised it, letting the spine of the weapon rest along the length of his arm, held out to the side with the blade angled downward, his other hand free with the shield...
17:35:07 Deathscythe grinned and watched, the man being obviously impressive but Hunter having a secret to the scythe he'd yet to muster up and let known. He'd save that for last thought, his grand finale for the fight as without a moments hesitation he launched forward, at the last second igniting his back boosters to attempt ramming his Gundams left shoulder into the Tallgeese to try shaking him up a bit. The sabre as still clutched backwards at an angle so that if that scythe was implimented, he had a way of deflecting it.
17:39:33 Tallgeese_III saw the Deathscythe swinging in, sliding the scythe down to place the blade right at his chest, rushing in. If the Deathscythe tried to slam it's shoulder into the Tallgeese, it would find it's own blade buried into that arm, humming and crackling before the white mobile suit retro-fired it's vernier's, sending itself arching backward, flying away from the other as he spun through the air, backpack vernier's also engaging as it arched down towards the ground. The Tallgeese's mega cannon emitted a short-band electromagnetic pulse so that he could find it in situations with low visibility, which was exactly what he did, the scythe held to one side as the Tallgeese skimmed over the sand, it's free hand slamming into the ground, fingers closing around the grip before it jerked the cannon out of the sand and spun almost immediately, the barrel crackling before it began to prepare to fire...
17:45:09 Deathscythe used that odd angle that the sabre was held in, swinging it around directly for the now exposed left side of Tallgeese. He wanted more then anything to end it earlier but still that ace was up his sleeve and he knew to just bide his time. As Tallgeese seemingly departed Deathscythe could only watch and knew he had his chance. Inside the cock pit a hidden button was pressed and another switch flipped as he sat and watched then... without a moments hesitation, flipped the Overload switch to the Deathscythe, virtually causing it to implode with its own energy and hopefully blow up the arm / shoulder area that corresponded to the Tallgeese.
17:50:21 Deathscythe used that odd angle that the sabre was held in, swinging it around directly for the scythe to hopefully counter the weapon and stop himself, even if it meant pushing Tallgeese back a bit.

17:53:18 Tallgeese_III boosted backwards, even as Orion gritted his teeth. Suddenly, there was a flash. The screen in front of him lit, a loud warning siren sounding off, telling him of a foreign energy gathering in the scythe. He cursed, throwing it straight in front of him before he swung his shield up to cover his cockpit, the explosion sending the Tallgeese arching into the ground, the massive body of the mobile suit slamming into the sand and sliding across it, before it came to a stop and slowly roll to it's feet, Orion shaking his head. "Damn...That was good..." There was minor damage all over the front of the Tallgeese, but it still raised it's cannon, charging for a split second before it fired a thin beam that would cut into the Deathscythe, arching through the air to hit it's right hip, hopefully damaging it somewhat. That would be the last shot he could take with the Cannon, though.
18:14:25 Deathscythe 's Gundam was hit by the beam this time, himself trying his damndest to move but still, a couple of feet in was damaged critically greatly cutting down on the maneuverability of that corrosponding leg. " Dammit! " Hunter yelled, slowly allowing his mobile suit to begin dropping before landning, shifting the majority of the weight to the still good leg. Now.. he had a sabre, Tallgeese only having a cannon that seemed dead. Finally, the battle was swaying in his own direction but still, that unjury was a critical one.
18:16:38 Tallgeese_III grinned and Tallgeese's head dropped slightly, before it stepped forward and began crossing the dunes towards Deathscythe. Even as he did it, the arm of the mobile suit reached in to pull it's second beam saber free, igniting the blade once it passed through the charging station as it hummed quietly. "You're finished, Deathscythe...Give up.." It was true...With lowered mobility, the Gundam was done for. The Tallgeese would move circled around it, and in the end cut it to pieces, unless he could somehow eliminate the seconde beam saber. No wonder Orion hadnt been truly worried about ditching the first one.
18:25:37 Deathscythe looked ahead through the monitor to his front, eyeing up the Tallgeese. He knew he was in fact in a very vulnerable position but to count him out now would've been foolish of anyone, even God himself. With that, the Vulcans to both sides of Deathscythes head instantly began rattling off shells at the oncoming Gundam, Deathscythe standing its ground with the sabre back a bit but still in front of itself, ready to 'sword fight' if you will..
18:29:11 Tallgeese_III :: As soon as the vulcans began to rattle the Tallgeese fell forward, vernier's catching him as he flew straight towards Deathscythe, the sword held to one side as he raised the shield to cover his body, bullets bouncing and whining off of it until he was right about to slam into the Gundam. Only then did he pull his ace, the saber swinging in from the right, forcing Deathscythe to block with his own before the shield arm fell back, suddenly snapping forward...The retractable heat rod mounted near the bottom lashed out, swinging down to slam into the Gundam's head. Sure, it was just the main camera, but it would still be a crippling blow to have Deathscythe's head torn off by the whip.
18:32:12 Deathscythe allowed a few seconds to allow Orion to become comfortable before he himself sent the Gundam into an immediate kneeling position. What did this do? it not only had him virtaully protected on all sides but spikes from those massive wings now were virtually, at least to Hunter, already beign pierced into Tallgeeses Gundam unless somehow he'd shifted his speed down considerably. There was so much more to this outfity that was meant as a weapon and he knew that was going to be a decisive advantage. The sabre blow of course being blocked as he hadn't even attempted to deflect it but instead let it fly over head as well.
18:54:47 Tallgeese_III grunted, jerking back on the controls as his vernier's retrofired, which came to his distinct advantave. Even as the force of those rockets kicked up sand, the sand would manage to obscure Deathscythe's vision just long enough for him to leap, arching over his head to land behind him, swinging straight down the middle of his back, right between the shield that the wings created, the whip lashing around his back, swinging above his head to be brought down in case Deathscythe spun. "You've got no chance! The effectiveness of your mobile suit has been tested! It's not good enough!"
18:59:39 Deathscythe once again was given that advantage to the speed. The screen in the upper right portion of the main hub showed Tallgeese landing behind him and given the position he was in, it was perfect. Pressing his Gundams hands into the sand, he slammed the joystick forward and pressed both pedals as hard to the floorboard as he could sending both massive feet back towards Orions Gundams chest in a violent and very furious mule kick like move. This hopefully would at least send TAllgeese back a bit if not completely send the Gundam onto its back.
19:02:17 Tallgeese_III gritted his teeth as those feet came forward, Tallgeese giving him the scantest of warning as it's vernier's automatically retro-fired and sent it backwards, the heat rob lashing out, moving to wrap around one of the legs before both of them impacted against it's chest, sending the mobile suit stumbling backwards. But, if successful, he'd jerk on the whip backwards, dragging Deathscythe off it's feet and towards him, the saber spinning back he caught it with the blade pointing downward. It would try to slam that humming blade of energy into the back of Deathscythe, right above the cockpit.
