-In the UCA Mech Hanger-
Ben didn't need an escort this time. Unlike most of his fights, this is one he was actually looking forward to. Riptide had been rather thoroughly fixed up after his last fight and shined, all new and pristine. It was a shame, really, that it would be all scorched and dirty soon.
"Good things just don't last around here," he sighed to himself.
Within a few minutes, his machine was up and running as the teleporter beacon activated, enveloping him in the usual flash of blinding light.
-The Wasteland-
When hsi vision finally returned to him, he found himself once more in the wasteland sections of the planet. However, rather than the hard pan and mesas of the previous bout, the area was littered with canyons and gullies that wound their way through the landscape. Some of these might have even been big enough to hide in. Now all he had to do was wait for that smug-ass Nazi bastard to show up. Then it would time to unleash hell. And this time, he wouldn't hold back from the beginning.

The wait was not a long one. As the burning sun rained brilliant rays down upon the barren wasteland, the Nazi's made his grand entrance. The blue skies split apart, revealing a column of heavenly brilliance. Music, from surrounding UCA speakers, began to blast loudly. The sound of an epic march... with just one lyric... " Heidenreich", over and over again... As the great light faded and the music continued to blast, the Nazi-made machine stood tall, sun glistening off its dark body and silver skull. Over its head, the alien weapon hung like a scorpion's tail, energy tearing from the cannon. Inside the cockpit, Adler Maynor gripped the controls with black gloves. "Ihr doom ist jetzt." He threatened as if the American could hear. |

"Run a scan analysis while I get things started."
"Affirmative. Initiating scans."
"And as for you..."
Riptide suddenly kicked off the ground and jetted right at Heidenreich. Twin blades of plasma erupted from his wrist units. To the Nazi's credit, his machine was a lot more nimble than it appeared, as he managed to dodge to the side somewhat, the plasma blades slicing into his side rather than his face. But then again, he wasn't fast enough to keep up with Riptide, as Ben hit the thrusters, did a quick 180o turn and fired the Super NOVA at Heidenreich's back. The electric blue particle beam slammed into the mech's back, tearing into the armor plating and superstructure beneath.
But the Nazi wasn't as staggered as Ben would have liked, as his machine turned to face Riptide before unleashing a blast of green energy from the swastika on its chest, the beams slicing into the NXT and TiTun plating with shocking ease. With both combatants wounded, Ben decided he would need to step up his game. Scan data was coming back on the composition of his opponent's armor and the output of those green lasers and the other obvious ranged weapons were giving him pause.
However, he decided that mobility was his friend here, as Riptide took to the skies and fired the ANECs at Heidenreich, the thermonuclear beams lancing into the Nazi war machine's front, scorching armor plating and obscuring the machine's vision with smoke for a moment, as a volley of missiles streaked out towards the enemy mech...

THOM! THOM! THOM! THOM!
One after another, the rockets smashed into Heidenreich's colossal body. The Nazi-made war machine staggered as its front side was blanketed in explosions. In the expanding ball of flames and smoke, something appeared to be glowing. The thick, dark cloud lifted above the robot's skull-like head, revealing the energy barrier having been put up at the very last second, protecting the head and the pilot inside.
"Jetzt bin ich dran."
Even with its body engulfed in the fiery inferno, Heidenreich's Panzerfausts suddenly erupted! The force of the cannons going off extinguished the flames around the chest as powerful, cannon-like shots aimed directly for Riptide! The two rounds closed the distance in a blinding flash before striking each of the machine's wings! The robotic dragon released an angry cry as the strikes detonated, blowing off chunks of its wings! Like a rock, Ben and his machine began to fall!
Heidenreich's arms fell to its sides as the huge Uber Maschinengewehr began to fire. Hundreds of slugs burrowed into the falling Riptide, transforming the machine into a fountain of sparks. Some rounds pegged off, others found their marks in joints and the weakened wings. He kept up the assault until Riptide hit the dry ground like a pancake, limbs stretched to the side with a mighty thud!
"Wir sind nicht hier geschehen." Adler declared, roughly meaning "We're not done here."
The swastika flashed with green light, launching more cutter lasers targeting his foe's head!

The laser beams streaked right at the cobalt and silver machine, when they suddenly slammed into a rippling barrier of force. Ben had managed to deploy his own shield in time to avoid being torn apart. As it stood, his machine was still in one piece, relatively speaking, as he returned fire with the ANECs and Super NOVA simultaneously, this time aiming at the Nazi mech's chest. The trio of beams tore into the Nazi's armor, slagging and melting where they came into contact as they washed across his chest and the chaingun port.
The blast was enough to stagger Heidenreich and give Ben the opportunity to return to his feet, dropping the heavily damaged wings as he went. He wouldn't need them for this fight. He doubted that Adler would go for a prolonged aerial engagement. With another volley of missiles to cover his approach, Ben kicked off the ground and jetted right at Heidenreich. The missiles exploded across the machine's torso, although the energy shield kept his head in one piece. But with smoke obscuring his vision, Ben lunged at Heidenreich and slashed with both Plasma Cutters, leaving glowing wounds in the Nazi's armor.
Unfortunately, Adler was still a top-notch pilot and had regained control of his mech faster than Ben anticipated, as an armor plated fist crashed into Riptide's chest, knocking the CEE mech back a step. Ben was forced to turn with the blow, but in doing so fired the Super NOVA once more, aiming to sweep it across Heidenreich's chest...

Like an angry bear’s claws, the multi-colored Super NOVA ripped across Heidenreich’s chest! The black machine stumbled back, sparks and flames shooting from the opening the powerful attack had torn into it. “Nein!” Adler shouted inside the cockpit, squeezing the controls. Behind the black giant, its alien weapon lifted like a scorpion’s tail. The weapon loomed over the shielded, skull-like head of Heidenreich while surging with unholy light. With a crackle, the mighty thing fired!
The burning beam of alien might smashed pointblank into the upper torso of Riptide! The American machine fell back, limbs stretching wide as its body was blanketed in a blaze! Pieces of its patriotic armor flew in every direction as the energized particles tore into it. Slamming hard on its back, Riptide’s jaws and wounds began to fountain brilliance in the form of sparks.
With a crater-like wound smashed into its chest from where the beam had struck, Riptide began to move. Before it could pick itself back up again, Heidenreich suddenly leaped into the air with surprising grace! It came down, mounting the mech while using its rough, metallic fists to batter its face! Chunks the size of vehicles and flames began to shoot upward from each hammer-like blow, denting the proud visage of the patriot. As open wounds all over the thing’s face spewed smoke and sparks, Heidenreich’s palms opened up.
Ports opened up, revealing its flamethrowers. Before Riptide could react, a burning stream of fire engulfed its head! The armor offered some protection, but the parts he had just pummeled into destruction allowed the inferno to penetrate deep, melting systems and cables! Even as the flamethrowers ceased, black, noxious smoke drifted upward in great plumes! Heidenreich stood above his foe, Adler smirking in the cockpit.
“Arrogant Americans…”

Adler, who was busy smirking, seemed shocked when the smoke and flames parted and Riptide strode out of the inferno. The nifty thing about the TiTun plating that made up the machine's armor and superstructure was that is was still highly resistant to thermal stress, even if the flamethrowers were hotter than its recommended rating. In that moment of confusion, Ben fired the Super NOVA, and managed to score a direct hit on the cockpit! Without the shield to protect it, Heidenreich's head was vulnerable. Shrapnel flew everywhere as the half human/half alien machine staggered backwards, as Riptide charged forward, stabbing deep into the Nazi mech's torso with both Plasma Cutters, before ripping them up and out, leaving twin wounds smoldering in the machine's chest before rapidly following up with a second, crosswise set of slashes, leaving an "H" shape in the black armor of Adler's robot.
To Adler, these attacks seemed like a poor tactical choice, as it put the CEE mech directly in the path of his chaingun. But what he couldn't see was the lip of the ravine behind him. As the chaingun began to rev up, Ben fired the ANECS and Super NOVA in conjunction, aiming right at the black mech's knees. The trio of beams lanced into the joints there, blowing away armor and circuitry, but also throwing off Heidenreich's aim, as the bullets only stitched some holes in Riptide's shoulder. As Heidenreich fell to the bottom of the ravine, several hundred feet below, Ben took Riptide airborne in preperation for raining down a volley of missiles from the air...

Like angry hornets, the rockets swarmed the pride of the Nazis. They exploded with the strength of an army, denting the black metal and sending chunks of steel flying in every direction. Heidenreich stumbled back, smoke and flames erupting from every inch of his body from the blitz-like strike. Inside the cockpit, Adler gritted his teeth. The last assault to the skull had banged his head against the terminal, busting open a wound that drizzled blood down his forehead and nose. As it came closer to his mouth, his tongue came up, tasting it.
His upper lip twitched and a vain in his forehead pulsated as he prepared a counter attack. In the air, Riptide launched another volley of rockets. “Heidenreich!!! Töten!” He announced, demanding the mech to kill his enemy.
The alien weapon on its back lifted like that of an angry scorpion’s tail. Pulsating light not of this Earth blossomed within the tip as green lightning danced between the overlapping joints. A brilliant flash of green light was followed by a concentrated stream of energized particles! The beam hit several of the rockets in mid-air, forcing the American explosives to detonate in mid-air. This caused a chain reaction as the blasts engulfed other missiles, setting them off and giving the sky a more beautiful show than any Fourth of July fireworks show!
Then the beam hit Riptide!
It tore into the armor, surging the armor with power. The hybrid armor protected from much of the assault, but as the beam moved upward, it began to strike the opened wounds. Warning lights inside the man’s cockpit began to flash as the intense energy flooded the machine. Several rocks detonated in their holsters, exploding within Riptide’s body and sending chunks of metal falling with angry smoke tails. A plume of hellfire followed as the machine began to fall like a heavy rock. On the ground, Heidenreich watched the burning monolith.
“Aufregen!”
The gigantic Panzerfausts fired at the falling robot! The two explosives quickly found their mark. In a split second, the tips burrowed into the advanced plating and detonated! The sheer strength of the blast made Riptide, whom was falling straight down before, rocketed to the side, limbs flailing. The machine hit the ground like an oversized pancake, flames and sparks erupting from the crater-like wounds that the “armor fist” weaponry had done to the right half of the abdomens. Cables spit from the sparking wounds like angry serpents, spewing vital fluids onto the ground.
Before Riptide could recover, the Nazi monolith made another strike with the Panzerfausts. With a tremendous bang, the ground around the mech’s feet lifted from the shockwave. Two more rounds, designed specifically to puncture the toughest of armor and hides of the most wicked kaiju, found their marks on Riptide’s back! They struck, ripping into the hybrid armor with the force of a supersized can opener! Riptide’s body arched as its back was torn open to the point internal skeletal workings was exposed! A tremendous fireball followed shortly afterward, along with streams of fires being fed from Riptide’s own fuel cells!
Standing several hundred meters away, the alien weapon surged with unholy might again and fired at the cratered back!

Ben struggled with the controls, but managed to roll Riptide over and deploy the Barrier Fields. The stream of charged particles slammed into the fields, the air rippling as the projected force strove to repel the assault. Although they succeeded in that respect, the sheer force of the attack shorted them out, forcing Ben to utilize other options for defense. Both ANECs and the Super NOVA were leveled at Heidenreich before Ben fired them into the gaps created by the Plasma Cutters earlier.
With the armor already weakened, Riptide's particle cannons had little trouble blasting the hole wider. Smoke and fire erupted from the cratered black mech, as he began to topple backwards from the force of the blast. Ben took the opportunity to bring Riptide to its feet before deciding on a course of action. The AI was busy displaying all the damaged sections of armor, and although the outer layer was severely damaged in a few places, the superstructure, and most of primary systems, were still intact. Both reactor seals were still tight too, meaning that the distribution nodes had been hit. Nothing a quick re-route couldn't fix.
Clearly, the Nazi had the power to engage him in the air, and falling from the skies again was not something eh could afford to do. But these canyons...they might provide the answer he was looking for. They were big enough to hide his mech in. While he wasn't used to hit and run tactics, he would have to try thinking differently to beat this guy. Witht hat in mind, Ben kicked off the ground and jetted towards Heidenreich, who was busy regaining his feet. With the both Plasma Cutters extended, Ben slashed quickly, leaving more glowing wounds as he passed by, before disppearing into the canyon below. The Nazi's radar should have trouble picking him up down here, and Riptide was maneuverable enough to fly through them without crashing.
As Adler tried to track his target, Ben popped up from behind before firing the ANECs into the black machine's back, shredding armor and leaving more cratered wounds in the Nazi machine's armor.. Adler whipped around and managed to catch him with the Vier lasers, before Riptide disappeared back into the canyons. With any luck, he could get a few more good hits like this before Adler caught on, as he prepared to surface and fire the Super NOVA again...

Like an oversized blowtorch, Riptide’s Super NOVA smashed into Heidenreich’s armored frame. The Nazi metal sizzled and sparked as the war machine stumbled back, flames shooting from the mid-section impact. Inside the cockpit, Adler snarled with fury. Biting his lower lip to the point his canines punctured the flesh, he tasted his own blood and spat it onto the floor.
“Damn American!” He declared in plane English.
When the beam stopped, movement caught his eye. Riptide flew around the side, plasma cutter ready. Like a swift cat, Heidenreich reacted. The machine ducked back, dodging the swipe that would have carved him in half! The black robot’s arm came up, striking the elbow joint! The machine dragon roared out as its arm exploded into sparks, armor and circuitry erupting from the joint of its right arm. As the two stood face-to-face, Heidenreich suddenly leaped forward. His right arm extended, he clothesline Riptide to the ground!
Holding his foe’s hands to the ground, the alien weapon again loomed over the humanoid’s skull-like head. It again surged with blistering green light before firing, hitting Riptide’s face point blank! The American robot’s head was engulfed in a fiery hell, chunks of hybrid armor pinging off of Heidenreich like BBs. Riptide’s roars of defiance were muffled from the beam as it tore into its open jaws, tearing out its innards and threatening to decapitate it!
Just as suddenly as it fired, the beam ended, leaving Heidenreich sitting atop his foe’s body! Looking down upon its victim, Heidenreich’s body creaked as the super-sized machine gun in its chest began to spin…

With the Nazi pinning his arms, the Super NOVA badly damaged, and the target too close to shoot with the ANECs, Ben frantically looked for a way out. He doubted he could stop the firing of the chaingun, but at the least, he could limit its duration. Bursts of smoke and fire erupted from his legs as he launched three volleys of Hydra missiles, which quickly curved around like striking snakes, all aiming at Heidenreich's back. Even as the first of the bullets began to stich hole in his armor, the missiles struck home, slamming into the Nazi mech's back, head and the alien energy weapon. Smoke and fire exploded as shrapnel peppered the area.
Although the attack wasn't enough todestroy Heidenreich, it did throw the machine off balance, freeing up one of Riptide's arms, which Ben promptly used to deliver a blade of searing hot plasma to Heidenreich's torso, carving a swathe of destruction as it severed gears and circuits alike. As Ben began to rip the weapon upwards, Adler quicklt threw up the bubble shield and rolled his mech aside, lest the cockpit be penetrate. This, of course, gave Ben the opportunity to bring his own machine upright.
As soon as Riptide was back on hsi feet, Ben rapidly slashed at the alien weapon on the black machine's back, leaving several molten cuts, as well as hopefully taking the weapon offline, even if only for a little while. Now that he had positioned himself behind Heidenreich, he prepared to drive both Plasma Cutters into the Nazi's back...

The energized blades thrust into the Nazi’s back as if javelins. A glorious fountain of sparks, some yellow and others green, erupted from Heidenreich’s spine as the robotic warrior tore the weapons free. The war machine stumbled forward, nearly tripping. As one leg swiveled, the machine spun around to face the American gladiator. The panzerfausts launched in unison at point blank, striking the damaged chest of Riptide! With two tremendous booms, each round landed its mark with terrible consequences. The pectoral region was obliterated by the unexpected attack, completely torn inside out.
Riptide released a mechanical cry of agony as it thick clouds of black smoke drifted up past its head. Heidenreich bolted into action and rushed forward, his studded fists smashing as hard as they could into the exposed chest cavity! Punch after punch widened the holes while his hands yanked out handfuls of internal systems. Like a deer being gutted, several parts of Riptide’s innards began to fall to dead ground, steaming and sparking upon impact.
Taking a step back, Heidenreich thrust his right hand into Riptide’s chest, palm open. His hand clamped onto something. The machine’s eyes began to flicker and internal systems cut on and off as a glowing cylinder was pulled from where its heart would be if it were organic. Cables attached to the object snapped, dangling from both the glowing object and the deep wound while spitting sparks as if venomous cobras. Holding the glowing object in its hand, the Nazi crushed it into oblivion! A tremendous flash of light was followed by the explosion of the object, sending arcs of electricity and sparks flying in every direction!
Riptide fell back, joints sparking and power turning on and off. Inside the Nazi-bot, Adler smirked. He spoke into the radio where he knew the American could still here.
“Die, American scum.”

"Warning! Power Node 3-C has been destroyed. Commencing emergency re-route!"
"Overdrive Cannon status!"
"CEOC is still operational, but usage may result in irreparable damage to the superstructure."
"You still there, American? Don't tell me you've given up already."
"You know, Adler, I've gotten real tired of listening to you yap. Fortunately..."
"Emergency re-route complete."
"...I can shut you up."
With that, Ben fired the Super NOVA right at Heidenreich. The Nazi quickly reacted, throwing up his shield to protect the vulnerable head. What he should have done, however, was try to dodge the blast, as the heavy particle beam weapon struck the machine's torso, melting and shredding armor as it went, particularly the chaingun barrels and the ports for the Vier lasers. Smoke poured from the smoldering wounds as the Nazi cursed loudly over the radio.
"Well damn, I was hoping that would keep you quiet! Let's try this then!"
And with that, Ben roleld forward and jammed a Plasma Cutter through the black machine's torso, the blade penetrating deeply as Ben ripped it upwards, severing command cables, circuits, pistons and who knew what else. A quick jab from Heidenreich struck Riptide in the shoulder, forcing the American machine to fall back for a moment. But Ben did one better, and put more distance between them with a quick burst from the retro-rockets. At this point, Adler prepared to charge his alien weapon, when Ben leveled both shoulder mounted cannons at the black machine.
"Suck nuclear plasma, you genocidal bastard!"
Twin beams of thermonuclear energy lanced from the shoulder cannons, which were joined by the electric blue beam of the Super NOVA, as well as several volleys of missiles! The massive assault struck Heidenreich dead center, shredding through the machine's defenses like they were tissue paper. Explosions rocked Heidenreich as several subsystems exploded from the damage overload, the cobalt and silver machine's missiles widening the gaps generated by the beam weapons. After what seemed like an eternity, but was in reality only a few dozen seconds, the assault ceased.
Surprisingly, Heidenreich was still standing, although a multitude of new craters marred his armor and smoke poured from these wounds as well. Shrapnel littered the battlefield. However, he wasn't on his feet for long, as the black mech toppled over backwards, crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.
"Not so talkative now, huh?"
But Ben knew it couldn't be that easy. He leveled the ANECs once more, ready to fire them at a moment's notice, all the while readying the Barrier Fields for deployment....just in case.
