"Better hurry up, don't think they're gonna appreciate us being outside the city like this," Jonas spoke into his headseat. "Think they'd like it less if we were inside the city." Hudson Kyle replied, his Rick Dom following a short disatance behind Keller's red-hued R1A Zaku II. The Rick Dom equipped a shotgun, while the Zaku toted a machinegun, the only weapons they had proper paint rounds for. It was the one concession they had made in regards to the proximity of the domed city of Von Braun. "Then let's go ahead and start this thing," the elder pilot stated, twisting his Zaku around and letting a short burst fly. The Rick Dom paused, but still easily dodged the attack, loading a round into the breech of the shotgun in return. "Now that ain't fair! Next time, give a countdown!" Hudson responded, his Rick Dom flying low to the surface. The Zaku twisted easily to avoid the return shot, jetting upwards to gain a better vantage point with which to attack. "Didn't know we had to be fair about this, now quit whining and start shooting!" The Rick Dom responded quickly, using it's powerful thrusters to ascend toward the red Zaku. Firing round after round from his Zaku's machinegun, Keller tried to keep up with the twists and zags of the Dom, but only scored a single tag on the edge of the right shoulder armor before the Dom was in firing range for it's shotgun. A feeling, nothing more complex than an unconcious fleeting thing, caused him to throw his Zaku into an invert slamming his Zaku to an almost dead halt in the vacuum above the moon. Inside his Rick Dom, what had been a grin of victory moments before turned into a look of disbelief as the cloud of pellets passed through empty space where only moments before, Keller's customized Zaku had been. "What the fu-" was all he managed before several dull thuds sounded through his cockpits walls. Shortly after, Keller appeared on screen, breathing laboriously as though someone had just punched him in the gut. "Nice try, but looks like I win this one." the older man stated, looking at something off screen. "Better head back, I think they're sending someone out to check out what we're doing here." Jonas Keller: 0+1 days damage, 1 day injured, 5 VP gained Hudson Kyle: 1+1 days damage, 4 VP gained |
