Morgoth (Sazabi) versus
Saladin (Mission X) – Sneak Attack at
Dust clouds enveloped the sky, covering it in a sandy haze. Yet the sun still
beat down mercilessly, and everywhere you looked, desert stretched seemingly
forever. A lizard crawled out from under a rock, hoping to find some food to
satisfy it raging hunger. No sooner than it had moved was it suddenly gone. A
smoking crater in the ground marked where it had once been. The origin of the blast
came from over the dunes where a furious battle was in progress...a battle to
the death…
With blinding speed, Mission X’s fist lashed out and was blocked by the deft
sweep of the Sazabi’s forearm. A kick then followed
which was evaded and the deadly sound of beam saber against beam saber ensued. Morgoth laughed and broke off the assault, drawing his
assault rifle and peppering Saladin with APR. “Dance fool!!” he shouted in
delight, running to the left while his weapon chattered with spent shells.
Mission X covered it’s delicate forehead camera,
allowing a stream of rounds to hit his torso and skirt armour.
Saladin grimaced and decided to clear a path using some recently acquired
‘firepower’. Who knew that Morgoth could be so deadly
when provoked? He selected the twin buster rifle on his menu screen and allowed
himself a small smile as the Sazabi turned and began
to flee across the sand. Yet it was his turn to look in horror as the Sazabi rocketed into the air and came down to the ground in
a graceful display of acrobatics, wielding its Evil Angel Cannon in a menacing
display of force. The Mission X hesitated and then boosted forward, firing off
massive gold blasts from both rifles at the Sazabi. Morgoth didn’t expect such a suicidal head on attack and
the Sazabi was struck a glancing blow on the arm that
completely decimated it. If he had not had his double Gundanium
armour, then his entire suit might have been
destroyed. Furious, Morgoth dashed in a zigzag motion
at the oncoming Mission X, firing his own Angel Cannon at the suit and crowing
in delight when a shot slammed straight into the leg of the Mission X,
disintegrating it into nothingness. As a result, the Mission X stumbled and
fell headlong onto the ground, sending up a huge cloud of dust mingled with
fire, metal and fuel. With a confident air, the Sazabi
began to stride towards the fallen Mission X which was desperately trying to
right itself. “Stand Gundam!!!” yelled Saladin,
echoing the words of a long dead newtype. Morgoth heard the words stream across his comlink and knew that it was all over for Mission X. Like a
deathly mirage he kept approaching, the sunlight glinting off the Sazabi’s red armour, seeming like
it was covered in blood…
In a final act of despair, Saladin loaded his thunderstrike
and shadow missiles and waited for the right moment. Timing was crucial and
could make the difference between life and death. 700m….600m…500m... counted
Saladin in his mind and when the Sazabi had reached
300m, the Mission X opened the flaps on it’s missile
containers and launched it’s shadow missiles. Confused at the spreading black
smoke, Morgoth stopped and this gave Mission X the
right opportunity for counterattack. With all the strength remaining in his MS,
it rose off the ground into the sky and fired ever single thunderstrike
missile at the Sazabi. The missiles white plumes
streaked down to the desert floor while the Mission X leapt backwards on it’s crippled leg, hoping to gain some distance between him
and Morgoth. A sense of foreboding hit Morgoth and he thrustered away
just in time from the first missile which splashed down on his previous
location, turning it into a kilometre wide crater.
His computer lit up with missile warnings and his eyes went wide at the number
of missiles coming for him. But he was far from beaten and dodged the first
few, leading them on a chase around the dunes although never losing sight of
the escaping Mission X. He skidded and stood his ground against the rest of the
missiles; a whole 100 kilotons of warhead material ready to extinguish his life
at a moment’s notice. He sidestepped one missile, letting it explode harmlessly
and began shooting them out of the sky with his vulcans
and assault rifle. Three narrowly missed hitting him due to a graceful
cartwheel and the rest dropped to the ground in flames, like shooting stars. In
all this time he had not lost sight of Saladin who was very far away now,
making clear for the
The Mission X detonated in a massive explosion from the Sazabi
ramming it’s twin beam trident through it’s generator.
Watching the remains of his enemy burn, he wondered if this was really the life
for him…he then looked at the glowing twin beam trident in his hand…and he knew
that fighting was all he knew…what was his purpose if he could not fight? He
pondered these deep questions as he flew away from the barren desert and then
contemplated the though of a sword battle with Victor and Ky and a nice cold beer when he returned home…
