Another day... well, another day. Each "day" passing here was a long, featureless day for Vastrato. Something she was content with. It has been a long time since she was truly being lazy. Back at home she often found herself following around that boat, helping those people, day in, day out. Then there were days like this... The teleportation pad in her enclosure sparked to light. Of course... This place demanded more in some ways then things back home. Recalling the last few times, she pushed herself up and slowly padded into the light.
Sunlight beamed down upon the oceanic scenery. She been here before, recognizing it almost instantly. This is where the first battle took place. It was nice... Reminded her of home. Shame it was about to be ruined with a fight. What monster was she going to be pitted against today, she wondered.

Natalie, after a short trip to the mech hanger, found herself in the middle of a tropical paradise. Crystal clear waters surrounded the atoll as the sun shone around them. All would have been perfect, if it weren't for the rather large, saurian creature nearby, which was now eying her machine rather intently.
"Well, if it's a fight they want, I guess it's a fight they'll get."
And with that, Lenneth entered a combat ready stance, sword in hand, as her pilot prepared for battle.

Immediately Vastrato was aware of the humanoid figure. It had truly been eons since she saw a human that size... But wait, it wasn't what it seemed. That metallic shine and the sound of beeps and blips... it was one of those abominable machines that she has seen mankind built to fight. Anyone who was anyone knew that the she-croc was not one to tolerate machines. They were noisy and annoying. Some dangerous. To her this was no different.
Vastrato broke into a gallop and quickly covered the ground between her and Lenneth. But Lennath was ready. Natalie, the pilot, was more then just some pretty face. The machines kicked off the ground and flew into the air just as the jaws nearly had her. While using flight to avoid, Lennath began firing Ice Missiles down at her attacker. Several hit Vastrato, making the crocodile hiss in pain as the cold temperature bit into her skin. Great, this thing also threw ice. Just peachy.
When Lenneth had landed, the mech kicked forth with sword raised. The idea was to cleave the blade into the crocodiles skin. But what one desires and what happens are simply two different things. When the sword came down, Vastrato's jaws came up and caught the blade right in her teeth. This was an animal that could pluck a giant monster duck in mid flight. Missing a target was a rare occurrence. Now that she had leverage, Vastrato swung her entire body to the right and brought the humanoid along for the ride. Crystal found her machine pulled right off its feet and slung hard. Too hard, really. The sword slipped right out of Lennath's hand and Lennath itself was throw across the sand, banging and rolling along the moist surface of the small atoll. But she was up already... A lost sword was no big deal. Recovering would be easy.
...Only the sword was flung into water nearby. Well that was just great. Now Natalie was going to have to somehow get to her the claymore while fighting a monster that from what she could assume by all crocodiles, could and would probably take rip one of Lennath's limbs off if she so much as turned her back.
Good as time as any to start fighting back, though. Without much of a plan, Lenneth shot forward and right at Vastrato. Mid stride, Lennath purposely slid forward, leg out to threw the crocodiles weight out from under. Vastrato recognized this, though, having down similar herself. Instead of being thrown off guard, Vastrato simply backed up and threw her head down, catching the robots leg in her jaw. Metal screeched as teeth attempted to pierce. Vastrato wasted no time in pulling her weight along and Lenneth off the ground. Using as much momentum as she could, she began on a marry-go-round style swing to try and throw the machine off into the distance.

Natalie struggled against the controls as Vastrato began to spin her machine around, displaying surprising stength for something so slender. However, she recalled the reptile recoiling from the ice missiles and made plans to counter by firing the Zero Beam at Vastrato's face. The beam struck true, causing ice to form over Vastrato's face, as the crocodilian unleahsed a wail of agony. While this meant that she let Lenneth go, it also meant that Lenneth went flying through the air before splashing down in the shallows. As Vastrato clawed and scraped at the ice coating her face, Natalie took a quick stock of the situation. Fortunately, Lenneth seemed to be water-proofed, and the reptile had inflcited minimal damage.
To make things better, her sword was lying on the bottom nearby, easily visible in the crystal waters. As She bent down to pick it up, a loud splash caught her attention. When she looked up, Vastrato was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, warning sirens blared as a sudden impact jolted her machine and she was pulled underwater. Vastrato had managed to free herself from the ice and was now attmepting to savage her leg. While the Hel armor would likely hold, Natalie didn't want to take chances and she speared forward with her sword, a laser charge already running down the length of the blade.
The sword impacted and penetrated, but not as easily as she would have hoped. Vastrato's flesh seemed to have a lot of give in it. Fortunatley, it did the trick, as Vastrato let go, giving natalie an opportunity to pull her machine out of the water. Already the reptile's blood and the hydraulic fluids from her machine were beginning to stain the once pristine waters. As Lenenth rose out of the surf, Vastrato burst from the water behind her, jaws open and ready to dish out another painful bite. Or at least, they would have, had Natalie not turned and fired the Breaker Cannons right into Vastrato's gut. Although the reptile's rubbery hide absorbed some of the imapct, the blast was still enough to send her rolling away.
Natalie decided it was time to take to the air. As he rmachine began to ascend, several small weapons pods detached form her wings and began to move towards Vastrato...

Vastrato Rose, only to look up at the mech that was now.. Rising? It shots ice, and it flies. Among dislike machines, she wasn't fond of flying foes either. Not ever since the first fight with Hera. Then the orbs caught her eye. They hovered around her space ominously, threatening... She didn't like the feel of it either. Instinct told her they were annoying and dangerous. Instincts never wrong, one fired a sharp cutting beam into her armored shoulder. She hissed in slight pain, but quickly ducked as another fired. Then another. Just a flurry of beams, one from each. After that first she managed to dodge direct blasts from the rest, but boy where they difficult to dodge!
Soon after one fired, it quickly shot back to the owner. They had to recharge after firing there supply. When all orbs had returned, Lenneth took a battle position. Vastrato braced herself as she saw the threatening body language. The Valkyrie style mech feel from the sky and forward straight at the reptile with thrusters pushing her faster. Claymore high, she brought the blade down with laser edge charged! Not a fool, Vastrato threw herself as flat as she could to the sand and dodged the oncoming blade. As Lenneth passed, she threw her head out after it and snapped her jaws at the leg, but missed her target. Lenneth was quick to regain her barrings to try again. After that near hit, Natalie was going to have to watch them jaws. She lost her sword once. If her leg got caught, she could kiss her mech's limb goodbye.
Again Lenneth came. Mid flight, a long chain was whipped out from a hatch on the back. She swung it and as predicted, Vastrato snatched the metal line in her jaws out of her instinct just as planned. With a hard flick of the arm, the chain coiled and coiled around the crocodiles head. The move took Vastrato off guard. Nothing like this was ever pulled on her before and naturally she began pulling away. Natalie had to yank on her controls hard to keep a stead grip on the sand under the robots feet, but could give way any minute under the loose, wet sand. With one press of the button, the chain end sparked to life and gave a powerful jolt to the beast it was coiled around. Though it made Vastrato stop for a moment, it also made her react violently.
Realizing the chain could hurt her, Vastrato did the obvious thing any animal would do: KILL IT! She threw her teeth around the chain and yanked with all her might. Lenneth was yanked right off her feet and into the sand. Quick to rise, but faster to hit the sand again as the massive tail of Vastrato came around and smashed Lenneth hard enough to send her bouncing along the sand until she hit the water. Truly, a crocodiles tail was just as dangerous at the jaws if not more so.
One dent, but plenty able to fight still. Lenneth rose just in time as Vastrato came charging at her. Jets kicked to life and she shot backwards over the water as the elastic monster dived right at her. Now Vastrato was in the drink and dove right to the bottom. Water wasn't even that shallow. Fifty Meters at best in this series of islands. Maybe a bit more then that.
For the moment, both were at a stand still. Vastrato wasn't going to be able to reach Lenneth so easily and vice versa. At best, Natalie could launch the orbs again, but Vastrato would see them coming. If she was to win this, she was going to have to dive in after a animal that was more equipped to being in water then her suit was. What to do, what to do...
Nothing, that was what.
Vastrato had one way to reach the flying pest. At the bottom of the shallows, she began sucking in water and sand. Stomach expanded, and expanded, and kept on expanding. Skin kept on stretching and her gut going on out as if she swallowed something several times her size. In her cockpit, Natalie was baffled at what she was seeing. Was her enemy doubling... Tripling, Quadrupling in size?! After reaching six times her own size, she came up head first. She looked like a living blimp... if on land, her own legs would probably not even touch the ground. Somewhat silly looking, really. But never under estimate a foe. Releasing the hold on her muscles, Vastrato's jaws opened in a geyser of water that shot into the sky like old faithful on steroids! In her moment of virtual "what the fuck" Natalie took little precaution and ended up being slammed, full force by the blast of high pressurized water.
She was blasted out of the air of the sky like a fly hit by an archer fish. She hit a nearby atoll, suffering the might of uncaring gravity.
Though Vastrato, taking on such great mass of water, still had more to spit and quite a huge load to keep up long range attacks like that for a short while.

Natalie struggled against the controls as she tried to bring her machine to a standing position. She had honestly not expected Vastrato to be capable of doing that. She had paid for her underestimation, but it was a trick that would only catch her off guard once. And, it seemed Vastrato was willing to try it again. But this time, Natalie was ready for her. As the blast of pressurized water and sand streamed towards her machine, Natalie raised an arm. The spray impacted harmlessly against the shimmering Barrier Field, which dissipated with the attack.
"And for my next trick..."
Lenneth's faceplate split, revealing the Zero Cannon port, as she discharged a beam of low temperature energy. Vastrato squealed in pain as icy patches formed across her flank. Natalie took the opportunity to quickly boost forward and slash her claymore across the reptile's side. The laser charge helped mitigate Vastrato's rubbery nature some, but only just so, as a raw, charred wound appeared where the sword passed. But the reptile wasn't out of the fight yet, as her powerful tail thrashed Lenneth as she passed by, almost dumping her machine in the drink again, and definitely leaving a mark in the armor.
But Natalie quickly turned her mech over as a puff of smoke signaled the launch of the shield on her arm. The bladed tip speared Vastrato in the back as Natalie slammed hard, yanking the crocodilian off her feet, her head banging into the rocky layers that made up the island's interior. With her opponent momentarily downed, Natalie re-entered the fray, sword ready to deal a crippling blow...

Luckily Vastrato had a hard head. That bump on the rocks only agitated her further. She was immediately jerking and thrashing around in a panic. A split second, she saw the attack coming and lashed out at the attack itself. The result was a bumbling move on both combatants. Lenneth only ended up slamming the hilt of the sword on the crocodiles neck and Vastrato only buried in teeth in a small part of the armored arm. It was instinct, but Vastrato pulled hard and brought Lenneth down with it. It wasn't any one plan, just random thrashing. Vas' ended up deathrolling and tearing a massive piece of armor right off of Lenneth's for arm, from elbow to hand. Natalie could only curse as a valuable asset to her Valkyrie armor was just taken right off. But with Vastrato not quite on the attack, the pilot had managed to at least part herself from the thrashing reptile. Quick to back up too, and good thing. Soon as Vastrato righted herself, she had turned with her neck extending out like a soft-shelled turtle and snapping shut on the air. Both had a moment to gather themselves. Now that the lashing was over, both had a sense where they were and more importantly, their opponents. Back to square one and ready to start a new set of tactics. It was a quick study for Vastrato. The spot where she tore armor off sparked and leaked a bit of oil. A point of weakness that any predator would exploit. Vastrato was first to throw herself out, bounding forward almost like a cat. However she stopped just before her opponent instead of continuing onward. Instead she let the momentum carry through her elastic neck. The bizzare movement caught Natalie off to say the least. Lenneth ended up having the shield caught in the teeth of the beast, right at her fist! There was almost no moment to react. Vastrato began to roll and if Lenneth was not careful, she was about to lose a hand. She did the one thing she could do; ROLL WITH IT! Both machine and reptile turned over, the struggle kicking up huge amounts of sand. But Lenneth was not fast enough. When the rolls ended, she used the hilt of her sword to bash the attacker right in the muzzle. It worked and she managed to kick back away before she ended up being bit again. Examining the damages, it was not as bad as it looked. It sparked badly, but the hand operated despite the tears and holes. Better then losing the hand. Again Vastrato came, similar tactic as before. Instead of waiting, Natalie piloted forward as well. When both meth, Vastrato did whole body link-to-link attack. A full 180-degree bite-to-tail swing. She threw her shoulder forward and met the shield as Lenneth put her guard up. Coming up from that, she raised her whole body up(Kinda like this images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111219185059/monsterhunter/images/a/a7/L_4edeee7ad8f6e.jpg ) and did a sort of scoop which she tried to bite hold of her foe. As expected, Lenneth had pulled back to avoid the teeth. Then came the tail. The momentum carried and Vastrato turned her whole body around, bringing the tail with great force that also caused her tail to extend into a powerful battering weapon with great reach. (Tried to explain that last attack. Apologies if I didn't get it right.. sort of hard to explain.)

Natalie couldn't avoid the blow, but she could roll with it, as Vastrato's tail banged into her shoulder, knocking the machine over, but also momentarily disorienting Vastrato. But when Vastrato turned to find her opponent again, Lenneth was nowhere to be seen. Vastrato whipped back and forth, trying to pinpoint her target, because there was no way she could jut disappear. Suddenly, Vastrato shrieked in pain as something perforated her chest. Lenneth then decloaked, the bladed tip of her shield embedded in Vastrato's chest. Vastrato's howling was soon silenced, however, as Natalie quickly wrapped her mech's other arm around Vastrato's jaws.
While, like most crocodilians, she had an excellent bite, it also seemed likely that she would have a hard time opening her jaws if they were held shut. And with all that bone and musculature needed to make those jaws hurt so much, there was likely little room for elasticity. Natalie held the struggling Vastrato in place for a moment before rapidly stabbing at Vastrato with her shield blade. The reptile's claws scrabbled for purchase on her armor, all the while trying to wriggle free from the machine's embrace. Finally, Vastrato caught a lucky break and managed to free from Lenneth's hold.
Unfortunately, Natalie had merely given her the opportunity to escape because she wanted to bring the Breaker Cannons to bear, as the pop-up turrets unleashed their payload, the twin beams of white light lancing into Vastrato's flank and throwing the reptile back towards the edge of the shallow lagoon in the middle of the atoll. As Vastrato tried to crawl away, the Orbit Cannons deployed once more, ready to hunt their prey down...

It wasn't something she could just avoid this time. Not while bringing herself back to her feet. When the cannons began to fire, she was hit by each except one which she managed to simply move in the right position at the right time. By then the rest reattached to Lenneth to recharge again.
Vastrato got to her feet and turned to face her foe. A few bad burns, but still more then able to fight. Not that surprising, is it? She did manage to hold herself against the infamous Rosie fair enough. Now, she was thoroughly frustrated as she is with nearly every other machine that came across her path.
She threw herself at the mech, full force. Naturally Lenneth brought her shield up and caught the blow easily. But unlike before, Vastrato keep pushing back with all her might. Natalie Fourth back but this sand was a terrible place to get traction. The feet of her machine were slipping as sand gave way. She managed to keep standing though. With Vastrato putting so much force out, Natalie pulled the shield around and Vastrato with it. She turned the momentum off her and let Vastrato fall all over herself.
But Vastrato was already on all fours and lunged again with head low. Teeth dug into the steel with ease. With one jerk backward, she easily pulled the foe right off its feet and flipping through the air. Natalie found herself spinning around inside, dazed before Lenneth ended up facedown in the sand. Wow what trip... Natalie felt the G-Force on that one. Then the whole body of the mech shook... Again.. and again... When she checked back, Vastrato was on top, baring down again and again with both forearms like a bear would do a tree trunk or something. Each time she bared down, the armor around the torso dented in further. At this rate she was literally going to break Lenneth.
Quick to act, Natalie pulled hard on the controls and both arms upon Lenneth pushed up and back. Vastrato was pushed off, but she threw herself right back on, but Natalie would not be put back to the ground again... But now, a huge ass crocodile was literally perched on her shoulders while it bit and clawed at her robots upper body. But Vastrato was just as much in a pickle. Trying to hang on while trying to attack might as well be a complicated project. Her claws were long and thick, not curved and sharp. When Lenneth began to struggle and fight back, she eventually slipped off. But her claws dug in while she feel, leaving several long, deep cuts going along the torso and down the arm to a lesser degree.
Natalie had to double check. For a moment her screen flickered error the use of the damaged arm and it would not respond. It came back online, though. That stunt literally almost pulled the arm out of its socket.
Vastrato was back up already and this time stalking around the damaged machine. To her, she saw an injured target that was just begging to be taken care of. Predator instinct after all. She then threw herself out, jaws aiming for the already badly damaged arm.

Natalie jerked back, Vastrato's jaws snapping shut on thin air. But this didn't stop the predator. Again and again she lunged forward, snapping at the machine. Natalie needed a moment to counter, but the croc was too close to swing her sword at. So, Natalie had to make a choice. And, she chose to fire ice missiles from close range. Vastrato recoiled as patches of ice formed across her body from the explosions, but not before snapping her tail across Lenneth's torso. The resounding "CLANG" shook Natalie inside the cockpit.
"Gotta remember to watch out for that tail."
As Vastrato was trying to scrape the ice off, Natalie got an idea. After all, turnabout was only fair play, as she kicked her machine off the ground before landing on Vastrato's back and pinning the saurian to the ground. Vastrato screeched in pain as the massive weight of the machine bore down on her, pinning her to the ground. With Vastrato pinned under her, Natalie began to smash her mech's fists into Vastrato's skull. Although thick and durable, the bones meant that there was little room for the rubbery resistance she faced elsewhere. Blood leaked into the sands, staining them crimson as Natalie backed off of Vastrato for a moment. The reptile felt the pressure being relieved, and wondered why, when the rattle of chain, and could smell the electrical discharge from Natalie's shock chain, which was currently aimed at the reptile's back...

Before Vastrato could get herself moving to counter or dodge, the chain lashed out like a whip and sliced down the elastic skin of her back. The pain was excruciating! Even her elastic skin was vulnerable to some of physical forces, such as the tip of a whip-like weapon striking so fast that it tore and made such a clean cut through flesh. The electrical tip? Just extra pain to add on.
Nerves were screaming in protest. Another lash came out and hit her again. Lenneth was pulling back for a third go. When it came, this time Vastrato caught the chain in teeth. Last time she used the leverge, but Natalie was no fool. Instead of fighting over her weapon, she abandoned it all together! As it dropped, Vastrato pulled, and thus feel over herself when she tried to pull the heavy machine down.
Just as she got up, Vastrato screeched in pain as a searing pain came down into her hip! Lenneth had jumped up and put all the force of gravity down into her sword, forcing the weapon down into the crocodiles thigh and straight through. With a powerful twist, Natalie had twisted the weapon, ripping muscle and causing more damage.
Lenneth yanked back, using the momentum to pull her sword free. No sooner, Vastrato came around in a fit of rage! Hormones like adrenaline and estrogen surged and gave her the extra boost that endows all animals with almost supernatural ability. Her neck extended, jaws parting... and believe it or not, as Natalie rose her shield arm... Vastraot swallowed it! Shield and all went down he throat!(not sure how big that shield is, so... ya) Teeth ended right past the elbow! Was... this possible?! Those jaws could unhinge like a snake and that body was almost all elastic, so yeah, IT WAS.
With the limb virtually in stomach, Vastrato began rolling hard, attempting to take something off one way or another.

((OOC: The shield isn't that wide. Its just a platform for the Barrier Field really.))
Natalie couldn't believe the reptile could be so bold as to try and swallow her mech's arm like that! And as those fangs began to dig into armor plating and the beast's gullet worked to swallow the metal meal whole, Natalie hit upon a solution to her predicament, which involved slamming a metal-plated fist into Vastrato's eye. The crocodile was forced to let go, lest she become blinded. As it stood, she came out of it with a nasty bruise around her eye. Natalie quickly extricated her machine's arm from the reptile's stomach.
As Vastrato shook her head and tried to clear the cobwebs, Natalie decided that if Vastrato liked her shield so much, then she would let them spend some time together. Rockets roared to life as the shield launched off and embedded its bladed tip into Vastrato's neck, before Natalie whipped the chain holding the shield, flipping Vastrato over in the process. This wouldn't have been so bad if Natalie hadn't taken the opportunity to fire her Zero Cannon at the crocodile's belly. Sheets of ice covered her flesh and slowed her movement's.
As Vastrato tried to roll back to her feet, she was surprised to find that Lenneth had vanished. What she didn't know was that Natalie was overhead, several hundred feet up, a volley of ice missiles prepped for launch...
