Before Conner could rage in the storm anymore, he found his left leg and right arm suddenly struck by electronic pulses. Ouch, that was seriously going to fuck with those systems, not to mention fry some servos. Still, Conner's sick and twisted smile didn't go down one bit. Why? Now he had a frame of reference for where that bastard was...

The Mega Suit limped out of the dust cloud and pounced on the Platypus the instant Conner had visual confirmation. He released a storm of blows using the torn off arm like a club. "QUIT HITTING YOURSELF! QUIT HITTING YOURSELF!"

The relentless onslaught of 'self-inflicted' strikes chipped and dented the front armor of The Rock Solid, and after several dozen blows the systems of Gabriel's mech were blaring all sorts of warnings and alarms of damage reports that it made his head spin - and in at the same time he only wondered how much more of a beating his Valk could take before the reinforced cockpit glass cracked and shattered... Of course, he wasnt lying there taking a beating the whole time - his one good arm attempted to push his attacker off, firing several more rounds from his wrist mounted shotgun at the same time (another 6).

"WHY DON'T YOU BACK THE FUCK UP YOU DERANGED PSYCHOPATH!" he shouted into his external speaker system, which he only momentarily flipped on.

One hand struggled against his assailants attacks, while the other moved towards the control panel of his MLRS - at point blank range he figured another ACBR would do more harm than good, but in a weird way Gabriel knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers flipped a small switch, changing the MLRS from ACBR to his Directional Infrared Counter Measure and immediately targeted the other mech's upper chest and head - where he assumed house the cockpit and the large majority of all sensors; tapping that little red button, Gabriel fired the heat-signature flare into the Mega Suit's face, and struggled to maneuver a leg up and delivery a heavy kick to knock the thing back...

It was very good for Conner that the Mega Suit's armor was so damn thick, because he wasn't dodging anything this close up, not that avoidin damage was exactly at the forefront of his mind at the time. Instead, he took shot after shot while smashing an mashing, his makeshift club now essentially useless. The final blow came when Gabriel kicked Conner back, quite successfully thanks to his low level of gravity, and Conner was finally forced to recognize the damage his baby had taken. The armor around the cockpit was wearing down more than what was comfortable, while his arms and legs were now on their second plating, not exactly best for combat.

"Haha, you're a lot of fun, you know that? I think I will back up, pal. I'll back all the up back to that little town I'm supposed to be smashing, how's that?" Without waiting for an answer, Conner tossed the broken arm back at Gabriel an charged straight back for Inculta. That self-righteous asshole wanted to protect these people, did he? Then he should already recognize
That the Mega Suit was fast enough to avoid his long distance shots, and that would leave him only one choice...

As the two valkinai broke apart, Gabriel moved The Platypus back, scooping up his E-Pulse rifle, which had been batted and tossed away in the brawl; but as he turned around completely expecting his attacker to be back on him, it appear the black mech was all too ready to return to his destruction - and Gabriel's anger rose... All too ready to sacrifice himself, Gabriel realized that the had no real hope of actually catching up to this other suit before it made it back to Inculta - the fact of the matter was his opponent was simply just faster, and his suit was far too damaged.

But still, he had a plan - he moved like lightning, tapping several commands all at once, and the SNES Walker seemed to actually bolt itself down into place, and reload everything it had. Three different targeting windows popped up, but each and every one of them locked in on the lone target, shuttling across the plain back to the small town.

"This mother fu--" was all that made it out of Gabriel's mouth as he hit the all too cliche 'big red button' and a dozen different alert systems went off, warning him about the high energy drain and low munitions count he now had - but off into the air a barrage of bullets, shells, and a single missile soared...

Conner didn't bother looking back at Gabriel as he made his trek back to Inculta, he didn't need to. According to his sensors, the guy was barely moving, and none of his movements involved his weapons being fired. Damn, and Conner thought that dodging bullets from an artillery type mecha would be fun, but apparently the bastard was too green to shoot at him surrounded by civilia-

"Warning: Assault Barrage Detected."

"What?!"

Boom. The Mega Suit, along with the entire nearby population, was gunned down by the barrage unleashed by the Rock Solid Platypus. Though Conner attempted to take cover behind buildings, the fact of the matter was that his mecha was just too damn big, and he was too stingy with that third and final speed boost. When it was all said and done, the area around Conner was practically dust, while the Mega Suit had taken three cannon shots and two pulse rounds to the main chassis, a couple painfully close to Conner's own position.

"Fifty percent energy, eh? Damn, you're good! The best I've fought in a long-ass time! I'm glad you quit pussy-footing around it, now shoot me again! I DARE YOU! COME ON MOTHER FUCKER! SHOOT ME!" Conner drew an air-target on his chest with a finger, his suit making the same motions. He then strolled through the streets until he found a large truck and scooped it up, prepared to toss it.

Gabriel watched as the hail of cannon and snipe fire rained down in Inculta, with a good portion of his fire actually finding its target - but the attacked seemed to do more harm than good, and at this point he figured he wasn't going to get paid... He was frustrated, frustrated and disappointed - all the while he had been trying to save... at least the majority of these people, but too only find that he was of course just as much a tool of destruction as the OS or even worse, the UNF; but still some part of him told him that taking out one singular large threat still made the world a better place, right? At least then that one person couldn't wreak more havoc upon the world?

Well - that was the thought he was going to settle on at least for the moment, and as the Mega douche bag drew a fake X over his chest, Gabriel pulled the trigger and let another three cannon rounds fly - at the same time, fiddling with one arm to reload the last clip of his E-Pulse round into the chamber...

Awesome. Conner threw his mech the the side to avoid the cannon fire, successfully, and used his own momentum to release the truck further into the town where it would cause some damage. And hopefully explode. Naw, it wouldn't explode, cars didn't work that way. It did smash some things up real nice though, and the cannon fire ended up in another building too. This day was just getting better and better! He didn't even have to smash the place himself!

The odd thing was, everything went almost as predicted for Gabriel - he completely expected the cannon shots to go without a hit - well maybe not completely, what he actually expected was for the other valk to actually toss the truck into his cannon fire, but chaos and destruction seemed to be the goal rather than actually combating The Platypus; but still this all worked for Gabriel...

While the black warrior was concentrating on that quick sidestep, The Rock Solid Platypus had already put into motion the second half of it's plan - one that would likely end this battle one way or another... The suit's sysetms completely shut down, draining every last bit of energy from his mech, as he made a last ditch effort to give it all he had...

"Hahahaha! Ah, this is great, I FUCKIN' LIVE FOR THIS SHI-"

"Assault Barrage Detected."

"AGAIN?!" Conner exclaimed, urging his suit to the side as best he could. He had already taken some good damage, and those pulse shots really slowed down the machine's reaction time. Grinning, he did the only thing he thought he could do to come out on top in the situation. He flipped on the speed boost switch, his final use before getting repairs, and the Mega Suit's movements suddenly increased greatly. He removed himself from the blast radius just in time, but faced himself with another problem, one that presented itself in the form of a building to the face.

Ramming through the building, the Mega Suit collapsed once more. Conner looked at the instruments and grinned. Energy ratings were still at 15 %. Just enough to cause a bit more of a ruckus and make it home. Sensors even indicated that the other mecha had completely shut down. Damn if that wasn't a Hell of a fight.

Conner switched off his sensors, needing to conserve power at this point, and rose back up. He made his way to the Rock Solid Platypus, kicking some buildings and cards and people and whatever else happened to be in his way. Once he was in front of the machine, he reflected on their similar battle scars, and how much damage that pilot had been able to dish out.

"It takes a lot of balls to take me on in the best of days. You've got an ancient machine and a severe type disadvantage, but you still put up one Hell of a good fuckin' fight. Most artillery pilots would run like Hell, but you tried holding me back and shooting point blank. That takes more than guts and nerves of steel. I like you, whoever you are. Name's Conner Jameson, mercenary for hire and agent of chaos. You've got two options here, and consider yourself honored, because normally I'd only give people the one. You can either sit there and watch my boot come down on your face and as I crush your robot, or you can join me. I'll jump your mech with a few cells of power and you can follow me back to the Mega Q. I'll even give you 30% of my take on this job, since you shot down a lot of this place yourself. I'm not normally in a giving mood, nor am I a patient guy, so you better decide fast."

Gabriel kicked the command consul in front of him, "Dammit! Dammit all to hell! Fucking fire all I've got at this asshole and he's still strutting around like the giant douche that he is!", he continued to shout as he repetitively continued to kick his own mech system's ass from the inside. And as he screamed in frustration knowing he had lost, and failed to save the town, for some reason he found himself still listening to the massive dicl who had just served his ass on a platter.

His mind weighed the options, and he certainly, CERTAINLY, hated this 'Conner Jameson' in quite possibly most every manner - his smug and cocky attitude, his love for destruction, and his damned black valk - but still he liked living more... And he still had to pay the UNF and OS back for all the pain they had cause him in his life...

Gabriel let out a low sigh - and pulled a rip-cord off to the side of his seat; the cockpit shield shot off with a pressurized gust, launching directly into the chest of the Mega Suit which stood before The Rock Solid Platypus, revealing the 'small' masked pilot inside. Gabriel strut forward just a bit, right to the edge of the cockpit, standing there with his head hug a little low and his arms on his hips, blood dripping down onto his armored infantry suit. "Doesn't look like I have much of an option really - Jump this sucker up and hopefully we can collect the pieces and drag it back so I can make some repairs... Or find a good mechanic shop to get me something a bit more temporary..."

This is the way to be more strong!
Reluctantly, Gabriel gave into Conner's offer and they formed a partnership. His life intact, his suit was given a jump and was able to slowly follow Conner's back to base. Unfortunately, he could not hold up his end of the bargain on the mission he accepted and thus, actually, aided Conner in his mission. The funds he received were still within his account: 20,000 cc with a promise of 20,000 more afterward. He could kiss that good-bye but he had no choice. His life was more important at this point.

Inculta was destroyed. Only a few buildings remained standing but most were toppled, stomped, thrown and blown up. The population was at a strong 1000 before today and now it was down to 35. With no home to go to, the people of Inculta were now mere refugees. All because of Victoria Windgates ...

[Extra Mission Complete]

Conners:
+4 PP
+6 VP
75,000 cc
x3 Valkinai Salvage

Gabriel:
+4 PP
+5 VP
20,000 cc
x2 Valkinai Salvage

Bachikikai came up on Inculta and approached it. Suesui did not like what he saw, and slowed down. The destruction. The desolation. The horror.

Bachikikai walked further into the city, still shielding Kiyomi. The last thing Suesui wanted to do was show Kiyomi this site, but... she had to see it. She wanted it. Bachikikai slowly moved it's shielding hand away from Kiyomi as it came to a halt, not that far into the town.

Kiyomi saw the destruction. Her home... The place she lived her entire life. What hope she had mustered to get up off her knees were now crushed. There was truly nothing to live for now. Her parental figures, all of them, gone. Her happiness was gone. And now, her home was gone. Her heart slowed down. "Wha-what happened?" Her heart slowed more. Why is my heart slowing down? She thought to herself. It must have decided there was nothing left to beat for. I can't say I disagree. She laid done on the metal hand and curled up in a ball. "Just let me down Suesui. There is nothing left to fight for. It is hopeless now. I will just stay here, you should go somewhere else. I am sorry I dragged you into this."

She though back on her life. It was filled with sadness anyways. Her father's hatred that led to his murder/suicide in front of her, the business men that took a pinch when ever they could, the death of her new father, and the destruction of the town. Really, god must have hated her during her entire life.

Suesui was alarmed. She sounded awfully broken. He wouldn't be able to believe it himself if it had happened to him... but likewise, he probably wouldn't care. Suesui had nothing left. Though Kiyomi still had a whole world. Now she did not.

He opened the cockpit and rose out of Bachikikai's neck, then climbed out and stepped carefully along it's hull, then jumped down into it's hand, squatting by Kiyomi's curled up position. Suesui cursed himself, why couldn't he be more empathetic?

"... Kiyomi..." he struggled to say. He tried to comfort this girl, but had no idea how. He lightly put his hand upon her head and brushed hair from her face away.

Her cheeks were completely wet from the tears. Where are all these tears coming from. When my parents died, I was sure I lost them all. I never cried after that. But today... they came back. She closed her eyes and turned away. "Just go. I have nothing left to live for, I might as well just lay down until the heat kills me."
