�What is the meaning of this?!� said Crimson in a harsh tone. �Oh don�t tell me you�re afraid of heights warrior, this is merely something to make the fight more interesting�� With that Zadion charged forward and swung his blade, Crimson barely maneuvered his AC out of the way to avoid it. The red AC stumbled to the left then boosted off and brought it�s plasma rifle up to a firing position, the gun unfolded as energy particles began to gather around it�s barrel. �Now!!� screamed Crimson as he shot off the large and powerful energy blast. The black AC quickly turned and evaded by lunging right, the intense blast went past him and crashed into the ground, creating a large shockwave. The black AC raised it�s right hand and fired off 3 shots from it�s gun, Crimson jumped and boosted upward then left, the third shot nicked his right leg, sending sparks flying. �Dammit� That�s it!!� Crimson activated overboost and quickly flew toward his enemy. The Epsilon AC brought it�s left hand up in front of him and twisted it�s waste right as he blasted forward toward his enemy. The black AC�s pilot opened his mouth and gasped as the crimson AC flew forward, �What!!� A blue beam formed and protruded outward from the source of the silver mechanism on the red AC�s left arm, the AC brought his arm around and swung quickly as he passed the right side of the black AC. �GAAAHH!!� screamed Zadion as a large chunk of his AC�s right arm shoulder was taken off, the black AC�s hand opened causing it to drop it�s gun and he plummetted to the ground.
The red AC landed far behind it�s enemy. It stood there leaned forward with it�s arm behind him above it�s head, still in the after pose of the blade swing with it�s head down. The black AC landed on one knee as sparks flew from it�s right arm. �What� how could he have?!? Gah! Dammit I�m gonna kill you!!� The black AC stood and turned toward the Epsilon. �Hmm� he recovered fast�� said Crimson as he turned toward his enemy. The red AC brought up it�s plasma rifle again and jumped into the air, the black AC leaped upward and activated it�s boosters. Crimson let off two shots of the gun, both being dodged by the enemy, the enemy AC�s left back weapon then fell unto his shoulder, a large hatch unfolded and transformed. Crimson noticed this and flew backward landing on a platform. �I wonder what that is�� The black AC let off a small floating weapon, the small golden device began to fly towards the red AC quickly �Heh� Now lets see how you like my little friend!!� Crimson�s eyes widened as he noticed what it was �It�s a new type of orbit weapon!!� The black AC landed in the backdrop atop the second floor deck of the ship �Now lets see you dance Raven...�
The orbit weapon approached Crimson and circled around him. �What is it doing�? Damn!!� said Crimson as the orbit weapon dropped a powerful explosive unto the platform he was standing on, he quickly boosted off of it as it blew up behind him. He turned his AC around and looked for the orbit, he saw nothing. He heard a slight buzzing noise �There!� Upward he looked and the device flew quickly downward. Crimson Overboosted left and the small weapon followed him, keeping up even with the high speed generated by the power of the installed boosters of his AC. �This is insane�� Crimson stopped and while still in midair falling backward in one motion he brought his gun up and let off a direct blast at the floating orb. The blast collided with the orb as it quickly flew forward, it�s wreckage fell to the ground. The Epsilon turned and looked upward at the Legacy AC which was standing overseeing all of this �ZADION!!� Crimson screamed �What games are you playing!? I thought you wanted a duel!!� The English pilot�s snicker could be heard over the communicator.
�Well I merely wanted to test out a new prototype weapon of mine. Now, for the other�� Crimson narrowed his eyes �Dammit, now what�� The black AC lifted it�s damaged right arm and the part on the right side of it�s back folded upward, a metal part fell unto the side of it�s bent forearm seemingly bracing it. A large black and silver tube-type object folded under the AC�s right arm and a bar slid outward from the bottom. The AC�s right hand grasped the bar, or rather handle and raised the long barrelled cannon like object. �Now feel the true power of my lineage!!� Crimson Fury�s eyes widened as he saw this new weapon come to be before his eyes. �What� What is that�?� The black AC�s arm started to tremble as sparks of bright blue energy began to crackle on the edge of the barrel of the gun. Crimson began to back away as he stared upward at his enemy, wondering what power this strange weapon would unleash.
�FIRE!!� The nobleman said as he unleashed the power of the newly formed weapon. A large and almost electric-like blue beam of energy went roaring with a loud clash through the air toward Crimson Fury. The red AC bent it�s knees and jumped upward then boosted backward with all it�s power. A loud crash and a large shockwave of energy could be seen as the intense blue blast hit the ground in front of him. Crimson landed then retreated to behind an elevated platform away from where the blast had it. ��Unreal!� Crimson gasped as he looked over to the large gaping hole that was left on the surface of the airship. �Hah! How do you like my charged particle cannon Raven!?� The Epsilon leaned up against the wall he was behind. �That thing is powerful, if I slip up just once It�ll be the end�� Crimson tilted his head forward and began to think to himself as his enemy continued to talk, going on and on about his impending defeat. Crimson narrowed his eyes �I wonder if all these so called nobles talk this much�� Crimson turned and jumped up to the top of the small platform he was hidden behind.
Staring up at his enemy he noticed him raise his right arm again. �Well thanks for giving me time for my gun recharge Raven!� Zadion sniggered as the energy flow once again began into his gun. Crimson grinned as he tilted his head to the side �I�m gonna shut you up.� �Shut me up Raven?!? I THINK NOT!� The gun�s intense blast could be heard once more as he fired it again at Crimson. �Not this time!!� Crimson ran forward as the bright light gathered behind him �Now!� The red AC lifted off the ground as the energy on it�s back blasted it forward and the large blue beam passed it�s side just barely missing. Crimson thought to himself �That bright light, he can�t see in front of him� That is the way!� Quickly looking over to his right ��and there�s the key.� Crimson Cut his Overboost just as it was about to totally deplete his energy and shifted all his AC�s weight so as to make it somewhat fall back. Zadion gasped as he saw the silouette of the red AC suddenly appear far to his left.
The Epsilon continued flying upward riding it�s own momentum until at the last moment Crimson manuevered his AC�s feet to be together. The red AC touched down against the side of a large pillar at the side of Zadion�s AC. Crimson narrowed his eyes and grunted as his legs absorbed the intense shock but a split second later he quickly sprung off backwards and left pushing himself away and towards his startled enemy. �THIS IS IT!!� Crimson screamed as the black AC turned toward him. Zadion, in shock and the AC�s mobility hindered due to it�s taken firing position could in no way avoid this kamikaze attack �NOOOO!!�. With one fluid motion the red AC spun while falling and brought his blade around. The bright blue beam quickly protruded and it�s energy particles and sparks filled the air as Crimson slashed directly through his enemy�s left shoulder down through the center of the AC�s core. The red AC fell to one knee as the black AC stood before him, sparks of energy and black smoke emitting from the black AC�s core. As it�s cockpit caught on fire Zadion said in a low, tired and strained voice. �Damn you� I wil have� last laugh�� Crimson breathed hard as he slowly stood his AC, the legs moving slowly due to the damage acquired from the move he just pulled off. �Last laugh� What is he talking about?� The nobleman�s deep and disturbing laugh could be heard as his AC began to explode. �It�s over�� Crimson jumped off of the platform and boosted forward to the ground as his enemy�s scraps flew by him. Landing slowly after hovering downward Crimson stood there with head tilted and eyes closed. Long strands of hair fell down over his face and he sighed. He turned back toward the final standing place of his enemy seeing nothing but the scraps of the black AC and narrowed his eyes �You have been beaten� By A Raven.�
