Dmitri's long hair flowed in the wind as he climbed into the cockpit, the raging crowd anxious to see what the boy had to offer in terms of entertainment. The Buster Eagle's engines roared to life and in moments he was already high up in the dome, looking down upon the battlefield as he were god. Yes, god, to play a simple life or death game with his opponent, to do what he pleased with his bombs.
"Now entering the battlefield. The mercenary, the crowd favorite of Romeo City, Enigma!" The judge threw up its hands as Dmitri's cockpit door closed behind him.
With the zoid's superior speed, firepower and aerial prowess, the Buster Eagle was a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully he'd have the edge against his enemy, hopefully the battle would end quickly. The life of another was riding solely on his performance in the tournament and if he didn't meet those demands...irreversible consequences would take place. Checking his equipment once more, Dmitri was ready.

The comman-looking Command Wolf trotted from it's den behind the blast door. It made it's way to the center of the arena. He activated all systems: targeting, sensors, and radar. He primed the SE Converter and checked the SE gauges. All fine. Jager looked around for his opponent. He found him flying circles around he dome. No doubt thinking he was going to win it easily just because he had the advantage. He'd seen it thousands of times before. Cocky aerial pilots that think just an erial advantage is enough to defeat a near veteran pilot. He wasn't going to lose in thsi round. He had to t least make it to the next. "I don't know how your doing in your first round, kid." Jager muttered to himself. "But you better make it to round two so I can give you a proper battle!" Jager's last battle was a win by default for his opponent, and he was going to redeem himself by crushing him to the ground; giving him a proper battle.
"Commander Jager VS Enigma! Ready...FIGHT!"

The idea was to pressure his opponent into a tight corner by obliterating everything around him, then demolish his zoid since he's land locked. Of course Dmitri had the advantage, but it certainly didn't mean that he wasn't on edge about his opponent's counter-attacks. As a pilot, you always have to expect the unexpected and that's exactly what Dmitri does.
He pointed the beak of the Buster Eagle at the command wolf and then fired four missiles at once. They were Anti-Air missiles, but they could be used against ground targets as well, if you just angled the zoid at your target. The first two missiles were just a feint, something to get him to dodge right into the path of the other two. The idea was to have the missiles slam in the ground beneath the command wolf's feet, causing the front to legs to come apart. But there was a good chance that wouldn't work. The Buster Eagle pulled back up, climbing back to its maximum altitude, observing whether or not the attack succeeded. But even if it didn't the dust in the aftermath would give him a good opening.

(ooc: He wasn't talking to your character. He was just muttering to himself as he thought of someone else.)
He's making his move. Jager positioned the Wolf to face the Buster Eagle directly. The sudden dip of the Eagles' nose wasn't something he was expecting. Was he up to something? Just then the sight of the four missiles brought him back to the present situation. He aimed the AZ double-barreled cannon and shot the first two out of the sky. He was about to shoot at the other two but their trajectory was leading them away from the Wolf. This situation was quite unique. The Eagle dove down before shooting the missiles and the other two just went the other way. Jager sudenly came to a conclusion. Air to ground missiles were usually shot from he aerial zoids' current flight path. The pilot didn't have to alter it. "You only have AA missiles." Jager said to himself. The Wolf ran in the opposite direction of the Eagle making sure he was as far as possible before it turned around for another pass at Jager.

OOC: Oh. I misread. Lol. But I omitted the first and last sentences from my last post, making it good again. Sorry.

It turned out that his tactic didn't work very well. Trying bait the command wolf into taking an unnecessary hit had been deemed a failure. Not a complete failure, though. The Buster Eagle was outfitted with AA Missiles, that was obvious. Though they don't have the kind of precision and explosive power to demolish land based zoids with stronger armor, there was still the fact that AA missiles are always guided that had to be dealt with. His opponent might have assumed that he had to get an approach angle to his target in order to fire them, but the fact was that he had to get a lock onto his target at a parallel angle since the AA missiles were designed to shoot down targets directly forward instead below it. Dmitri hoped to create a misconception, in order to confuse his opponent for later use.
It seemed that the command wolf was trying to get ready, positioning itself as Dmitri went for another pass. Why not try a preemptive strike? The Buster Eagle climbed up right into a loop, turning the zoid upside down. Close to the moment where it reached the highest point of its arc, one of the cluster bombs were released from their locks. As the Buster Eagle turned right side up, the inertia of the loop was transferred to the bomb, causing it hurtle toward the command wolf while it was still running forward.
Dmitri held his finger on the trigger, waiting for the perfect moment to release the bomb's payload.
"Now." The large bomb broke apart, revealing dozens of smaller bombs. Hell rained down from the sky, the many bombs beginning to burst in the general area of the command wolf's position. Explosions began to go off left and right while Dmitri hoped that it was over already.

As the Buster Eagle prepared it's round-about loop the Command Wolf burst into a sprint, reaching max speed at nearly the precise moment the Eagle finished it's loop. The tactic was to reach behind the Eagle before it finished the loop. It would be hard for him to see him coming while sky is down and earth is up. After passing the Eagle, he saw the large bomb fly near the ground where he had just been. It seemed easy to shoot out of the sky at first but then the rain of smaller bombs led him to think he wouldn't have been able to survive direct hits from them. He aimed his AZ Cannon at the Eagle and fired, knowing it would be pretty useless. The aerial Zoid was too high for the shots to even come close to hitting it. He just had to wait things out until an opportunity arose. In the meantime, it would'nt be hard to avoid those missile attacks unless their air to ground missiles or rockets. But AA missiles come at a straight trajectory toward his Wolf. He had everything planned out. Wrong choice of Zoid.

Had his enemy been predicting his attack or was it the fact that his current plan had accidentally allowed to dodge? Dmitri grimaced, now his enemy knew his trump. The fact that he had the ability to bomb a large area and cause destruction with a single bomb. As he flew out of a loop, the command wolf shot, close but no cigar. With a quick pull on the controls, the Buster Eagle's engines roared as went off balance for a moment, causing it to tilt to the side, just in case the shot did have enough range. But it seemed that it didn't after all, the shot fizzling out before it could actually reach the aerial zoid.
The Buster Eagle turned hard this time, coming in much faster than before, pushing it's speed to mach 1, the engines roaring much louder than before. The Eagle came in for an approach, quickly turning into a barrel roll at a high velocity as it came in parallel to the ground. The buster cannons fired repeatedly at the command wolf, firing four missiles simultaneously, this time he locked the missiles on for guided fire. The idea at this point was to overwhelm the enemy. Dmitri's body tensed up for a second and it found it difficult to pull up for a moment, but he pulled up in time, successfully bursting higher up in the sky.

(OOC: Mach 1 impossible in a medium sized arena unless you wanna crash into the audience. For the future, you need to state whether you shot the missiles in a barrel row or not. Cuz you can't lock on in a barrel row. I'll let it slide though.)
He didn't pay much attention to the random shots coming from the cannon. He simply kept an eye on them as they sprayed along the perimeter of his Wolf. Only a couple coming close to hitting it. Seeing the four missiles come his way he quickly began running to the left. Two of the missiles collided with each other as they turned to follow him but the other two continued their approach. He stopped his Zoid and spun around, quickly shooting at one of teh missiles but he couldn't lock onto the other one in time. He had no choice. The missile seemed to impact with the zoid after a feint flash of purple. The Wolf was engulfed in a cloud of dust and black smoke. Two shots fired from out of the cloud and headed in the Eagle's direction. The Wolf appeared unharmed, somehow.

(OOC: The size of the arena is quite ambiguous. The description says it's vast, then it goes on to say it's enclosed. That there generates plenty ambiguity about it's real size. Take that up with DT, not my fault. Even so, I could simply circle around the entire dome while slowing down back to slower speeds. Second of all, locking missiles onto a target is possible as long as the sensors are pointing at the target and that the missiles can fire. Air to Air missiles are designed to be used in dog fights, therefore they are designed to be fired in most high speed situations, including barrel rolls. You think fighter jets keep their planes level and slow when they fire theirs in a dog fight?)
-------
It seemed like a direct hit to Dmitri, a perfect execution of the utilization of the Buster Eagle's weapons. It seemed as though he was getting a feel for the high speed aerial zoid after all. The boy's hand pulled back on the throttle, slowing it down considerably, it seemed that going at such speeds still took its toll on him. The Buster Eagle flew around the circumference of the dome, staying close the sides as decelerated. Before, even going that fast would've made him blow some chunks, but now it only took him a moment or so to rebound back to normal.
As it got out its approach angle, a shot grazed the talon of the Buster Eagle, causing it to lose balance for a moment, but returned shortly after Dmitri pulled back on the throttle and evened out the controls. He sped up a bit more, staying in around the 350 mph zone. That was close, but it still didn't hit anything vital. Two incendiary bombs were released as the Buster Eagle passed overhead, falling at a considerable rate. Hopefully the flames caused by the bombs would make it possible to go in for a critical blow.
------
(EDIT: First of all, just because the missiles were shot, does not mean they were accurate. That's not what you were saying before. You said that it wasn't possible for it to be done. You think I didn't know that the attack with the missiles would be accurate? You can merely say that in your post. And secondly, it is quite possible to decelerate in that way. I wasn't about to make note of everything that is done by the pilot. You just position the wings to increase drag which slows down the zoid and at that same time, you decrease forward thrust. But I'm not getting into that, so I just changed it for the sake of eliminating problems. Thirdly, I just edited that missile shoots bomb part out, that problem, I'm actually sorry for. Lastly, where exactly does it say about the arena's size, instead of that conflicting generalization on the board description? Please tell me.)

(OOC: From now on let's talk it out in PM's)
The Command Wolf ran forward after the Buster Eagle as it flew overhead. As it turned to make another pass the Wolf's run turned into a sprint. Jager lurched the controls forward and aimed at the Eagle. It kept running forward, almost like it was ignoring the bomb about to drop in it's vecinity. Jager fired the AZ Cannon as soon as he got a lock. The two shots sped at the Eagle as the bomb was being dropped. The Wolf suddenly stopped as the bomb fell as close 20 meters away and hit the ground with a loud and powerful impact. The purple flash from before appeared again and in it's place the Wolf's shield stood, blocking the force of the explosion. The bright flames spread and engulfed the wolf and everything in a 50 meter radius. Jager couldn't take too much heat within the zoid even if teh wolf could handle it. He ran 50 meters and emerged from the firy hell, the Wolf with scorch marks all over it's metallic body. Inside, Jager was sweating."That was close"

"Damn, he's not disabled."
The Buster Eagle began to glide up to the highest point it could reach within the contained battlefield, trying to survey the area, but something was off. In the midst of the explosion and all the action that had just occurred, Dmitri didn't notice that the right wing had been hit, just next to one of the supporting engines. If the smoke got caught up in to the intake fan, it would clog and the Buster Eagle would come crashing down. Now he'd have to fly slower, unable to go in for high speed passes. Now, he was just going to have to use his wits and long range capabilities.
It seemed as though it had a shield after all. That's how he escaped the blasts from before, but shields can't hold forever... Dmitri thought to himself as he pulled back on the throttle. The crowd seemed excited, exhilarated from the intense action of the battle. At least they were having fun.
The Buster Eagle came in on a shallow dive, rather than coming down at a steep angle. The Buster Cannons fired a few times and Dmitri pulled up, releasing the bomb as he got into the ideal approach. The bomb started to fall, but it exploded right after being deployed, releasing dozens of smaller bombs. This time the destruction would be more focused in a small area, allowing for more intensity.

The Command Wolf stood it's ground as the Eagle dove down. As far as Jager could see, it had depleted all it's missiles. Not that they were a threat either way. As the energy shots from the buster cannon approached the Wolf, the energy shield was summoned once more and the shots surged into the shield. The Wolf could feel the sudden surge in energy within it's metal body. The AZ Cannon flared from within as a sudden peak of power read on Jager's output readings.
"One more should do it!" Jager said to himself. He knew very well that the bombs were about to explode but he couldn't do anything. It was either run or miss his chance. He got his chance but he had to pay for it. He tried running away but the blast of the explosion caught him meters from the cockpit. No direct damage from a bomb but the blast was enough to fry his fangs. He wouldn't be using those again.
"You have no remorse or control! You would resort to such tactics that could severely injure your opponent?!" Jager roared.

( MODERATION )
It has officially been over 3 days. Jager has contacted me with the request to end this matchup. Victory goes to the Command Wolf.
Post a short exit post and move on to your next thread.

Not the victory he hoped for but at least he made it to the next round. And that meant he would get the chance to fight that man again. And he would be able to win or lose properly. The Command Wolf trotted off through the open corridor. Exiting the arena and placing his Zoid in the holding area.
"You better watch out, kid. I'm coming for you." said Jager as the doors closed behind him. The audience wasn't happy with that last match. Their favorite had just lost and to top it off he lost by disqualification.
~Exit, Jager
