In The footsteps of my father (Amaya 1v1)

[Amaya]

Amaya was glad to see some of her missiles had landed, but now she was out of ammunition concerning that particular weapon. That meant she was going to have to turn this into a close combat fight soon. When she saw the damage done to the liger's leg she knew what she had to do. She was going to have to make this close combat because she would have an edge. The only problem was that battle cry meant this guy was going to go all out soon. She knew it because she herself had used it before. She did the only thing she could do, run.

The Zaber fang took off running taking a few shots to the rear flanks and a few to the side. The end result was a damaged zoid, but it was still functional. The only thing was that she couldn't take much more damage like that and her back leg was showing signs of damage. She was in better shape then the liger though especially since she still had some ammunition in her double barrel beam cannon.

The Zaber fang changed directions heading towards the liger. The double barrel beam cannon lowered aiming for the front of the liger and fired round after round depleting the ammunition. Each round she move closer to the cockpit. The first round was fired at the undamaged leg, the second at the damaged leg, and then continued upward till the last show was fired. A majority of those shots aimed at the cockpit. As she fired she ran forward ready to make this battle close range, but she wasn't going to attack directly. She ran to the left making a circle around her opponent waiting for something she could exploit.

The shield liger jumped in a final ditch effort to avoid taking the shots. He was lucky all of the shoots savor two did not hit, However a shot did graze its damaged leg and it let out a roar. The other shot hit its sides and red lights began to appear in his cock pit and he knew his system was going to freeze up on him. "Comon... we cant lose... We cant lose..." His voice was hollow, and ceros silver hair fell in front of his eyes. The shield liger turned, allowing no weight to land on its damaged leg, which was now useless it lunged forward with its 3 legs, much lighter without its gatling cannon and its other weapons. Its claws came toward her zoids side.

"Strike laser claw." His voice was cold...
"Its our last chance, its claws shined and came down toward the Zaber Fang." The zoids claw was relatively close to the zaber fang now and it would be very difficult to dodge, if the attack landed in the middle of the zaber fang it would likely cut it in half. So the girl would either move forwards or backwards to avoid being hit by the weight of the zoid and its razor sharp burning claws.

[Amaya]

Amaya was glad to see she had done some damage, but the charging Shield Liger hadn't been in her plans. There was still a way out. The Anti-Zoid Three-Barreled Shock Cannon on the Zaber Fang's underside had yet to be used in any of her battles so far and she was going to make this the first. The Zaber Fang having still been running could easily dodge left or right or turn direction quickly. That was why she had chosen to stay on the move. She continued running to the left and then at the last minute turned towards the zaber fang running diagonally, its head and chest facing the Shield liger. Firing a round from the three-barreled shock canon meaning three shots aimed right at the oncoming liger.

There was only one thing she could do now. She continued running diagonal so she wasn't going to easily be hit. The fact she was no longer running in a straight line meant she could easily dodge left or right. She chose right jumping to the right and shooting off out of range. She wasn't an idiot so she wasn't standing still.

[cero]

He landed the cannon hitting the shield liger under the belly,
it was an area that had never been hit so he would still be in tact.
He moved forward toward her now completely out of ammo.
The shield liger moved toward the zaber fang its claws coming toward her front. Afterwards it let out a horrible roar. How much longer could he keep going? The shield ligers leg was so wounded it was useless, but he could still use his three legs. It was over if he couldnt take it out. Red lights were going off inside the cockpit and cero was sweating now.

[Amaya]

Amaya still the advantage of already being on the move and distance in her favor. She changed direction as she ran away turning quickly and firing from her three-barreled shock cannon again. She wasn't done yet though. She ran forward at an angle as to be attacking on the Liger's bad side. The result meant that the oncoming claw would miss and if not it would only graze the Saber Fang's leg. When it was close enough it lunged upward its jaws closing in on the Liger's neck. Its claws dug into the shoulder join that was useless and tried to sever it. Even if the Liger got in a good blow the Zaber Fang had an advantage of a neck hold.

[cero]

His liger avoided damage by moving to the right however he was to slow to escape her jaws getting him into the hold. IT was horrible... he felt the metal of his zoid breaking under the jaws of the zaber fang. However... this was exactly what he needed the Shield liger moved back on its good leg and raised its front paw. His claw came up glowing red and came down toward the Zaber fang, he did not see how it could miss considering the zaber fang had its teeth sunk into the ligers neck. "Take this!" He screamed as the claw came toward the Zaber fangs torso.... He felt his shield ligers head being literally ripped off... it was horrific.

[Amaya]

Amaya was going to end this quick. The Zaber Fang tightened its grip literally crushing the neck of the opposing zoid. Using the paw that was on the ground it intercepted the oncoming attack. It brought it forward jamming it into the Liger's arm either jamming it or not, but if the attack went through it would still hurt the Liger and the Zaber Fang as well from the force of being pushed back. The leg might end up useless, but the liger stood to lose more. All this time the Zaber fang tightened its grasp and prepared to rip loose once it knew it would sever the head.

[cero]

His system froze.... A red light...
"Damn... Youve won." His voice was cold... Cero slammed his fist down on the Shield ligers control panel. Red lights blinked in the cock pit as the judged announced her victory "Battle Over! Battle Over! The winner is... Amaya!" The judge then took off... Cero was silent. "Good battle." His voice was filled with a strange sense of respect, often he did not respect a pilot until he knew their strength, now he knew this pilots strength. "IF you ever need a pilot for your team let me know." He added. After all if you knew the right people and joined the right team then things could look up.

[Amaya]

The Zaber Fang released the Shield Liger's neck and jumped back. Amaya viewed her opponent from a distance, her eyes filled with satisfaction. Her zoid was in pretty bad shape, but it still had come out in better condition then the liger had. "That was a good battle. You're a decent pilot." Amaya said truthfully. "We are need of a few pilots. Consider yourself recruited if you will accept the invitation." Amaya said happily. She had finally found someone who showed promise and that was what she needed on her team.

[cero]

"Yea, your a great pilot and if your teams half as good we should be in great shape." He ran his hand through his hair, and stepped out of his shattered shield liger assessing the damage to it. "repairable." He mused.... "Anyway consider me your new pilot boss." He muttered lightly looking up at the setting sun now. The judge had already departed and there was a hole where his capsule had landed earlier. *one step closer to victory... because even a victory can come from defeat.

[Amaya]

"Don't worry the team is decent and will get better as they gain experience." Amaya stated. She was glad to have added the shield liger pilot to her team. "You won't regret joining us." Amaya said. "Drop by the base anytime you want. You will receive a warm welcome." Amaya said before she made her exit.
