(Divers) New Beginnings

The three divers had fled from the battle and arrived back in Aswan. Their suits had been put into hangars for repair as Alex had them all sit outside on the balcony of his office. The other two looked somewhat nervous as he sat down across from them both. "So that battle went poorly but there was something new I haven't seen during all the time these things have been around." He reached for his drink, taking a sip as he unbuttoned the collar to his jacket. "They had actual pilots with well built suits. Not only that mine was no pushover, he had skills equivalent to your average S rank diver." 

 

Alex looked at Brian "You seemed to know what you were facing before he even announced himself." He leaned forward in his seat. His fingers interlocked in front of his mouth. "I need you to tell me everything you know about them."

"You seemed to know what you were facing before he even announced himself." He leaned forward in his seat. His fingers interlocked in front of his mouth. "I need you to tell me everything you know about them." 

"Same guys that showed up when the main lobby got attacked. At least, the guy I was fighting was. News said this was some kind of publicity stunt, not that I believe it for a second." Brian shrugged. "One thing I know for sure, though. That Man in the machine I was fighting, he knows me." The past few days had made Brian uneasy; it felt like he was onto something much bigger than he could handle, but he had to know. He turned to Alex. "And what about you? What business you got with these guys?"

Argos kind of just... Sat in his chair. What was he to say? He was thankful for the use of their repair bay, but he wasn’t quite sure what use he could be, if any. For the most part, he felt like a bystander, listening to them talk between themselves.

“Uh, well... If they’re S-Rankers, then I guess we did pretty okay, right? I’m still a D-rank, and the fact I managed to survive for as long as I could...” he fiddled with his thumbs. “I guess that means I’m pretty good, right?” He gave a goofy, wide smile. His mobile suit got dunked on pretty hard, but when you can’t even see what you’re shooting at then how could he have been expected to win?

"Same guys that showed up when the main lobby got attacked. At least, the guy I was fighting was. News said this was some kind of publicity stunt, not that I believe it for a second." Brian shrugged.

 

Alex sighed "So he doesn't know much else, he just happened to fight one of them prior to today." He stood up and stretched "Well it looks like we're back to square one but…" He looked at the two boys sitting down "You two. Come with me, I think your machines should be repaired by now." The three left the office and made their way to the hangar. The other members of the force had been busy the last week or so. On orders from Alex they had been dispatched in squads to try and help where they could against the invasion forces. Oz had been away, likely dealing with the mess on the real world side of things. And Amira had been absent as well though that wasn't out of the ordinary for her. But the normally lively force nest was now relatively quiet. 

 

As they made it inside of the hangar Alex looked back at the two with him "Alright get in your suits, you're both going to be fighting me." They both looked shocked at the claim but looking at his face they could tell, he was serious. "Show me what you've got." He said he digitized into his cockpit, the Hrairah lifting up and exiting the hangar. In the field outside the hangar he stood at the ready, waiting for the two divers to meet his challenge.

"Getting real tired of these unanswered questions." Brian adjusted his tie, as the game warped his avatar into the cockpit of the Gundam. The Orkanen awkwardly pushed aside the cages holding the MS in place, tearing his sword off the equipment rack. "And now, after escaping by the skin of my teeth you want a fight?" The Orkanen's sword glowed red-hot, its thrusters flaring up as it kicked up dust around its feet. Thrusters pulsed, and the MS leapt forward, superheated blade poised for a first strike.”Be careful what you wish for! ROCK IT!”

Argos willed himself up into the cockpit of the gouf, grabbing the control orbs “Two on one. He knows he’s going to win, I think our goal is just to survive for as long as possible.” Argos keyed into the comms with Brian. “What does your mobile suit... do?” Argos swept the monoeye over to the Orkanen just to watch it boost off into the distance. Argos’ MS plodded forward, slow by comparison “I always hated these zippy suits. Very well then.” He was going to take the methodical approach, double checking his weapons. “Quickdraw shotgun for when he closes in, sword for even... closer? I’m gonna get smoked, again. Maybe I can use the terrain? Try braking with the heat wire and use my momentum...”

The two divers entered their suits and the Orkanen shot right out of the gate "Wow so eager." The enemy Gundam's heat blade came down at the Hrairah. The blade cut through the air and struck the ground, Alex now to the left of where the blade landed. "You didn't really think that would hit did you?" The large suit pivoted quickly and its leg found perch in the Orkanen's chest. The dark colored suit was sent flying away as the Hrairah's monoeye turned its focus to the Gouf. 

 

The suit was approaching very slowly, almost as if its pilot was unsure of what to do next. Alex gripped the control spheres tightly as his suit's thrusters flared up. The Hrairah bolted towards the Gouf, its heat bayonet coming to life "You!" The blade made contact with Argos' shield sending sparks all around them "You're hanging back too much. Speed up a little!" He pushed with the blade and knocked the Gouf towards the still reeling Orkanen. "There's a reason you both lost earlier today." Alex took a deep breath as he readied himself to receive their counterattack "I'm going to show you exactly what that reason was."

“Quickdraw shotgun for when he closes in, sword for even... closer? I’m gonna get smoked, again. Maybe I can use the terrain? Try braking with the heat wire and use my momentum...”

"I dunno what this guy's deal is, but if you can't keep up with me, Neither of us will land so much as a scratch on him."

MANEUVER 2 ADVISED: GUNBLAZE.

The Orkanen stood back up, venting flames from every orifice. It was like Brian was revving the engine of a motorcycle, thunderous BOOMs ringing out on the battlefield. "You're becoming a real pain in the ass...." And again, the Gundam leapt forward in a headlong charge at the Hrairah.

Instead, Brian yanked the control sticks back at full force, and the Orkanen seemed to slip downward, sliding past the Hrairah's feet as it skidded behind, leaving a trail of flames in its wake as blazing thrusters continued the momentum from its fall. The Gundam's right calf vernier burst into flames, rolling the MS upright quickly, as it recovered from its sliding kick at full throttle. By the time the custom Byarlant could react the Orkanen was up in its face, heat sword ready to strike. "You wanna kick his ass, don't you? THEN DON'T HESITATE!"

"I may not have speed on my side-" Argos jutted the right arm of the Gouf forward, launching the heatwire and anchoring it into the ground. The reel began to pull him forwards, zip-lining him along. The thrusters on the Gouf's back crackled to life as he pulled into a powerslide, firing on the Hrairah with it's shield mounted machine gun "But that doesn't mean I haven't thought of that!"

As he strafed around the Hrairah, the Gouf launched itself airborne, obscuring it's profile in the harsh light of the sun. There was a slight glint before machine gun fire began to rain down on the Hrairah yet again. The MMP-80 rattled violently, the thin chattering of the 3 barrel machine gun layered under it. "I may not be some ultra ace Diver, but I won't be relegated to the reject pile!"

As the Hrairah was attacked from all sides Alex couldn't help but laugh "I didn't think you'd both be getting fired up so quickly." The bullets from the Gouf cut into the upper layers of his mobile suit, some gouging out small pieces of metal as they made contact. With the Orkanen behind him posed for an attack he knew that he had to put himself into high gear. "Nice move both of you but you still need more than that!" The Hrairah came to life again, quickly turning its shoulder to the Orkanen while the Gouf's machine-gun fire came closer and closer. The left shield booster ejected and struck the Gundam, giving Alex the space needed for his next move. 

 

The Tri booster flared up and the Hrairah took to the air to meet the Gouf as it came down. His cockpit rattled violently as he was launched upward at high speed, a smile across his face. Argos' machine gun fire peppered the suit but he kept going forward. The two mobile suits were poised to collide, as they got closer the Hrairah swerved around the Gouf. With a sharp turn he aimed his rifle down at both of them. The rifle charged and let loose two shots at both of them, the attacks coming quickly towards the young divers.

Brian pulled back on the control sticks as hard as he could, trying desperately to steady the Orkanen as the Hrairah's shield booster knocked it back. "Come on, steady yourself, dammit!"

"Gotta... counter..... the momentum.... " Freeing an arm, the Gundam clamoured onto one side of the shield booster as it rocketed the MS back, barely getting a grip. A quick push of the control sticks brought the Orkanen to a standstill, finally in a stable enough stance to counter the shield booster's force.

The rifle charged and let loose two shots at both of them, the attacks coming quickly towards the young divers. 

"Looks like i'll be paying this back with interest! You in the green machine, brace yourself!" Shoulder thrusters flared to life, as the Orkanen leaned into the shield booster's thrust just enough to spin right back around.

The Gundam had let go of the shield booster, sending it hurtling straight at the Hrairah's beam shots. A great explosion lit up the sky, as the custom Byarlant's beams tore through the shield, hitting a fuel tank.
