"Your overconfidence will be our downfall, Till," Micheal growled into the radio, "It is not a good idea to assume that we are always more powerful, even if that is the case. Also, we should be wary of our number disadvanatage."

Micheal's mech reached the top of the temple, from which he had a clear view of the entire field. The mech made a few clicking noises as it zoomed in on the Blackstar team. They seemed to be waiting for something. Micheal sat back in his mech and watched them talk amongst themselves.

"Although if they are going to sit out in the ope-" Rawlings was cut off by the sound of Till's mech firing at the Shadow clone. The explosion was fairly loud and caused part of the temple to avalanche.

"Unit two, status report! What's going on down there?" Micheal said into his radio, keeping an eye on the Blackstar team.

[Till Doyle]

Till grumbling to himself, overconfidence? Nonesense. As the gold bounces of Till's mechs forcefield, he watches the copy as Micheal communicates with him.

"Unit two, to Unit vone, if you had upto date zcannerz, you vould zee zat zere iz zome kind of, clone at zix o'clock. Diztract any of zee beingz you can, take zere attention avay from zis being."

His HUD showing some of the basic statistics, such as height, and presumed weight, Till's forward lasers come to life, and fire two simultaneous rounds at the clone.

Till's sword pointing downwards, shimmers in the bright sunlight. Tapping a few buttons on the inside console, the sword begins collecting solar power, and eminates a slight hum.

"Can I get zome crozz fire on thiz clone?"

[Micheal_Rawlings]

((Dammit Goron, get out!))

"Typical," Rawlings thought, "Till and I are running on different versions of the scanner software."

Rawlings pressed a small glowing yellow button, then turned his attention to the clone. While the mech searched the Corporate Net for the latest software update, Micheal had to pilot it himself. Taking the two control sticks in his hands, he turned his mech toward the clone. When it was square in his sights, he let loose with his 50mm machine guns, raining hell down upon the clone.

"Unit 3, would you mind keeping an eye on the rest of the Blackstar team, while Till and I are busy? We wouldn't want them sneaking up on us."

[Cirrial]

Cirrial runs to another pyramid, hiding and contemplating his options. He mutters to himself. "Well, I could either go for an all-out assault and wake up back at the mana pool, or I could gate into those troublesome machines and eliminate their pilots."

But I can't do that. No-one can gate that accurately at the best of times, especially not in the Ryft's current state of unstable chaos...

He looks up, and decides to climb the pyramid, shifting his form into a more anguine shape as he flows against gravity.

[Jent]

*The #1 saw the attacks, it got hit and turned to a puff of smoke.*

Natu: Darn, they destroyed the clone but now only one of the mechs are near us. I'll use the last clone to move the other one mechs father away.

*The last clone runs towards Micheal mech and throws a piece of gold a Micheal mech, then hides.*

[Laur Doyle]

*Laurs mech stops about two thirds of the way up the pyramid, using both scanners and senses*

Unit 3 to Unit 1, will do

*Laurs scanners detecting the three members of the Blackstar team, a corner of the screen that was her visor showing her the rabcat and ninjas position... but where was the third? Her senses picking up two very faint feelings (these being both the clones) and another much stronger feeling over where a another pyramid stood. As pyramids go, it was quite close to them... But all her sensors were showing was... water?*

Unit 3 to Unit 1 and 2, one of the Blackstar team is missing, and there is a stream of water flowing up a pyramid close by. I believe it may be the missing member

[Micheal_Rawlings]

((TROT, Micheal's and Till's Mech are quite distant. Micheals is on top of a pyramid, fairly close to Luar, and Till's is still on the ground.))

"Roger that, Unit 3, I-" Micheal stopped in mid sentence as his mech was hit by a plastic bar of gold ((yes they are plastic... you think DP would us real gold?)). This was not so much a problem as more of an annoyance, but it was enough to get Rawlings to turn around. His mech wheeled and looked at... thin air.

Mike grumbled to himself then flipped a switch and switched to infrared vision. A quick scan showed a clone hiding behind a pyramid.

"God these things are getting annoying," Micheal mumbled, as his fuel rod gun charged up to blow away the clone and the hiding place.

"Unit 3 keep an eye on that water trace, I think you might be right. Unit 2, it is time to implement your suggestion. Attack the main group. I will join you shortly after I eliminate this thing."

The fuel rod cannon let loose an enourmous blast of plasma as it traveled toward the clone.

[Jent]

*The clone jumped from the attack, and on the ground a few yards away from Micheal's mech. Jumped high, then threw another piece of plastic gold at Micheal's mech.*

[Till Doyle]

Till had been tracking the clones movements as it threw the plastic gold at him. Just as it came to a halt, Till unleashed a small volley of laser fire at it and at the top of the temple to at least throw it of balance if his attack missed.

Following Micheals request, "Unit 2 preparing to approach Blackztar opponants. Unit 3, be careful of ze being advancing on your pozition. Uze ze temple to your own advantage."

Closing of his communications, he begins to move towards the remaining three members of the blackstar team, basic statistics begin to run down part of his HUD. One or two of these may provide a nuisance. It was time to wake them up.

Opening his missile containers, he targets Natu, Leporidae and Embri. Activating three heat-seeking missiles, he targets each one. Flicking the release button, the release mechanism activates, and the three missiles fire out of Till's mech. Each missile having been qouted as being 'smart' flies their own way.

The one aimed at Lep flies towards the right, taking a turn around the temple. The one aimed at Natu flies to the left. The one aimed at Embri shoots upwards, going over the temple.

As the missiles launch off, he activates his forward lasers and begins firing through the temple, causing part of it to begin to crumble, providing a distraction, as some of the laser fire penetrates through both sides of the temple, cutting through to the side where the Blackstar team thought themselves safe.

[Jent]

(I thought Embri was not in the team? And I read though my post ten times.)

*The clone landed on the pyramid, then jumped off to a safe place.*

*Mean while, Natu heard some thing coming his way. Got to his feet, then started run away until he saw a missile that was fallowing him. Natu jumped over the missile while running towards Till. Ran past him, kept going until he was ten yards away from Till's mech.*

[Micheal_Rawlings]

((TROT that makes no sense. How do you jump on the missile, then run past Till? You'd need to jump over the missile, not on it.))

The gold bounced off the outer shell and rolled down the pyramid. Rawlings was oh so sick of this. He wheeled to face the clone and open fire with his dual machine guns.

The mech's computer beeped, indicating its download was complete.

"Oh this is most excellent," Rawlings said to himself, continuing to pepper everything in his sight with bullets.

[Laur Doyle]

Roger units 1 and 2

*Laur stated simply, keeping an eye on it. Her scanners also picked up the composition of the 'gold', merely plastic. Laur hummed to herself before moving her mech further down and around the pyramid, so it would be completely hidden from view*

[Leporidae]

((Mind if I get a recap on what's going on? My internet connection died on me and I was stuck suffering from lack of internet usage for the whole weekend.))

[Till Doyle]

((Zo, zere are only three againzt three in zis round? How interezting. Leporidae, vone of Trotz clonez haz been eliminated. Ze zecond vone iz atop ze pyramid.

Trotz movementz are being queztioned. And zere iz a mizzile aimed at you little vone.

Till Doyle

Az for you Trot. Ze mizzile iz programmed to follow you. How iz vone zuppozed to leap over a mizzile? It vould explode az zoon az you neared you. You vould have to move avay from zuch a mizzile.

I vill attempt to rezpond to your movementz az bezt az I can.))

Having to have somehow outmanouvered the missile. Till watches as Natu begins to charge towards him. Instead of taking him head on, as the missile had arced upwards, and turned around and was again at ground level, again, targeting Natu, Till takes a slight step forwards as he leaps.

Suddenly, his thrusters shoot into action, propelling him skywards, going past the ten metre, twenty metre, thirty metre mark. Now in an unreachable position in the sky, he watches as the missile nears Natu.
