Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nicholas groaned as he instinctively slashed at the missile. This was probably not the best idea as the heat from the heat saber set off the missile causing it to explode nearby the mobile suit, destroying the heat saber as well as damaging its right arm to the point of being almost unusable. Seeing as though he had pretty much no other option now he simply dashed at the Dom. Stopping the fire of the vulcan cannon to preserve ammunition he waited till he was just outside of the heat sabers reach assuming it was the same length as his own and fired the Sturm Faust from its left leg holster aiming to destroy the Dom from up close before it had the chance of slashing at him. Hopefully the attack wouldn't manage to destroy the suit's heat saber since he could use it if it wasn't destroyed. The GM's fire was starting to take a toll on the unit by this point even if only a few shots were getting in. The armor probably couldn't handle this much damage. Groaning he would probably be forced to take it out next. The sniper hadn't taken a shot at it yet strangely enough and he wondered why though it was probably cause he was still moving and couldn't get a shot in.

Nicholas groaned when he saw that he hadn't destroyed the Dom but at least it was not a threat anymore. The unfortunate bit was the fact that since he was also up close his unit was also damaged from the attack. The front part of the unit was damaged and the sensor of the unit was quite bad having static appear every once and a while. The vulcan cannon was operational still but it seemed that it was damaged enough that its firing rate was reduced to half of its normal. Quickly grabbing the damaged heat saber from the ground he quickly dashed towards his next target which was the GM. Thinking about the current damage he would suspect that the sniper would be waiting for the right moment to take a shot at him. So far he hadn't found out where the sniper was located. If he could find it then he would be able to add pressure fire on the unit as to make it harder to aim at him. He sighed and began to move towards the GM in a zigzag pattern before switching to a straight path and then repeating the pattern in order to try and throw off the sniper since a moving target was harder to hit than a still target. The vulcan cannon would fire at the GM turning in order to keep its sights on the enemy unit. Since it was backing up the only option was to follow it. Caution signs would show up as the armor of the unit was reaching its limit. It wouldn't be able to take much more of the GM's bullets. The one thing he made sure to keep watch of was the giant cannon, last time it took the left arm, if it took the right then it was game over for him.

The GM would continue forward as the simulation suit went up into the air, and dodge the kick, as it'd turn around and open fire with it's 60mm head vulcans on the simulation suit's back side. It would then proceed to run after the simulation suit to try and close melee distance once again from behind. The Gouf on the ship would happily open fire on the mobile suit in the air, especially with it's damage helping to hamper it's mobility, a good shot at this point would likely ruin the suit, though it was starting to run out of ammo it'd carried with it. Even if the enemy mech got in close, it had a small surprise for it. The ship would activate it's thrusters to turn a more armored section to bear against the Gatling Cannon fire as it's cannon neared being recharged, letting most of the shots hit unimportant armored sections.
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Nicholas groaned and used the thrusters to turn the angle of the suit a bit avoiding the shot from hitting anyplace important but unfortunately it did end up damaging the thrusters on its back making them badly damaged and barely useable and the 60mm vulcans weren't helping on that point. He groaned as he dashed towards the ship though at this point the speed of the suit was greatly diminished. His main choice now was to focus on avoiding the hits of the sniper as well as the ship if it fired. The 120mm vulcan cannon stopped firing at the ship and aimed at the rear firing behind the unit as to try and slow down the closing in GM. At this rate he would definitely loss especially considering he may not actually be able to reach the ship itself. All he had was the sturm faust and a damaged heat saber and damaged vulcan cannon. All of which were not so good at using for long range attacks.

Nicholas would blink in utter annoyance when all of a sudden the sniper came out of the shadows and appeared armed with a shield gatling gun and a heat sword. The GM had already given up its chase and was now helping the damaged Dom. Nicholas would groan as the unit opened fire on him The shots slowly disabling the units systems. A stray shot had managed to hit the Vulcan Cannon causing it to become unusable and the unit itself could barely keep moving forward. He sighed and then dashed towards the enemy unit before dropping the heat saber and grabbing the Sturm Faust. Taking the hits one after the other he grabbed the Sturm Faust and waited for the unit to get into close range before he fired the Sturm Faust at the ship. Unfortunately that was a wasted effort cause as soon as he did the the unit was stabbed in the cockpit causing it to be destroyed.

A sign which said [Mission Failed] appeared on the top of the monitor. Nicholas groaned and got out of the simulator. He sighed and said, "How the heck did you manage to do this? You must be one heck of a pilot. I ended up just doing a suicide run at the last second since it was a hopeless fight by that time. You are one amazing pilot to win that battle especially with your close range armaments against the sniper." He sighed again scratching the back of his head. He then asked, "So where did Stig go off to?". He was greatly curious as to where he ended up at though he was probably looking for Charles or exploring the ship since there was pretty much nothing else to do.

Nicholas nodded at what Cal had said. It would have been a different matter if he at least had a long range weapon as well but since the unit was mostly for close range combat it was at a heavy disadvantage. The thing was that his suit was the complete opposite of Cal's mobile suit. His suit excelled in long range combat but the closer he got the more difficult it was to battle especially once they had to fight in melee or when he ran out of ammunition since he had no melee weapons at all in his disposal. He sighed and then shook his head before replying, "That sounds good. All that stress from the simulator was getting to me.". He quickly followed Caleb walking slowly behind him.
