Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I wouldn't be so relaxed just yet Agent. The Black Rhimos may be immobile and without a horn, but it still has a hell of a lot of firepower to be put to use x3 <3))

::The Black Rhimos was down for the moment being, the front right leg hanging on by bare threads at its joints, practically gave out on the zoid. Nonetheless Ninai was pissed. Flipping some switches in his cockpit among the lights and sounds alerting him of all that was wrong with the zoid, he engaged the general purpose missiles. Bringing the unit to face the Shield Liger he snarled and fired, the tracking missile on its way towards the Liger. Ryo on the other hand was in another predicament. Sitting in his cockpit rather tensional, his eyes darted to the left as he saw the hybrid stop its chase. Under no means was Toyotomi a coward, then again, he wasn't stupid. The decision to take the considerably weaker Shadow Fox against, the much stronger hybrid was a tough choice, but he was going to defend his name. The voice was what threw him off even more. It was unmistakable. He knew that voice. Frowning he opened up the com-link.::

I accept. Take care of yourself Eli, just because you're my friend does not mean I will hold myself back. I suppose I knew all along. I can smell allegiance to the Empire from far away. I take it also that you are here to collect the bounty on my head. Don't expect me to give up anytime soon, begin if you can find me. Oh and Devi keep out of this one.

::With that he sped off into the desert, his anti-detection scrubbers in symbiosis with his optical camoflage, making it practically impossible to find him in the beige mirage. Narrowing his emerald eyes, their gleam took on a dullness as he engaged the SLC, and brought the zoid up behind the huge hybrid. He knew that this would be the only way a victory could occur for the mercenary. With no mercy, he brought the invisible Fox up into the air and down descending down onto the hybrid's back with the charged claws prepared to slash, his next move would be crucial to the livelihood of the battle. His Fox was outgunned, possible outsped, trickery and the use of the SLC would ensure Ryo the victory.::

::Ryo was shocked for a second, as the Fox was suspended in the air by the giant pincer. Shaking his head, he disengaged the optical camo, exposing the dangling Fox. Nonetheless, Eli's move even though it was a last resort was not quite strategical. The Fox simply slashed and slashed away at the pincers with the charged claws, and then proceeded to open fire upon the hybrid. The shield would wear down eventually as the SLC was capable of it. Maybe two direct strikes to the strong hybrids shield and it would be down. No more than three, and with the constant fire of the 30mm Vulcan, the time the shield would wear out would be in literally no time.::

I suggest for the better judgement of your zoid that you let go of me. That shield won't last forever.

::Chuckling he continued the onslaught, the SLC tearing the through the thinly armored portion of the zoid that was the pincers, while the Vulcan pounded on the dying shield. Sooner or later she would let go, or he would tear himself out. Grinning he already had his plan in action, flipping a few switches, the exposed tail which was out of sight from the hybrid's pilot as the Fox was now facing the zoid, flipped back as the net gun readied itself.::

::Gritting his teeth as the Fox leveled out from the toss, he landed awkwardly backwards, his hind legs skidding in the sand as he aimed the Vulcan for a quick blast at the weakened claw. He saw what was coming in advance. He knew what needed to be done. The smaller zoid undoubtedly had better mobility than the Breaker, the Fox danced effortlessly out of the way of the Breaker with a quick side jump. Smirking he turned the Fox again taking another short sustained blast at the zoids mid-leg section. Sighing he knew that Eli would figure out an alternative soon enough. He just needed to stay out of reach of those grappling arms and keep the Particle Cannon out of submission. Ending the fire from Vulcan he charged full speed away from the zoid hoping to enduce a chase, away from the Hover Cargo.::

What the hell is Eli doing piloting that beast...

::Beffudled in his cockpit he shook his head continuing to retreat out towards another far off dune. Flipping the overhead switches, the optical camoflage came back into effect, the anti-detection scrubbers doing their magic as well, as the Fox once again dissapeared into the desert mirage.::
