Arcturus was stunned at the speed displayed by the Heavenly Adonis champion. "This is NOT good.", he thought. Taking full advantage of his Valkyrie's leg boosters and angel-wing thruster array, the Faunus pilot closed quickly and fired a barrage from his MS's clavicle machineguns, the beam rifle in it's right hand, and the beam cannon integrated into it's left-hand shield. Chills ran down his spine as "Samson" dodged every shot, and he opened another Crypto-net channel to Bastion.

"Alpha to Bastion. Enemy confirmed as Sentinel, probable Augmetic. ETA of reinforcements?", he said.

"Understood Alpha. MSLM and SABL en route to you and the convoy via high-speed stealth shuttles, ETA five minutes with the safeties off.", was the response. "Roger that.", the Clan Leader acknowledged grimly. Arcturus swore as he reacted to the enemy's counter attack, barely able to dodge and reply with point-blank fire that met with empty space. Losing his beam rifle to a too-close swing of the Samson's longsword, he retaliated with activating his right arm's integrated beam saber at maximum power. Equaling the size of the MS itself, it's activation scored a grazing hit across both legs and it blocked a sword strike before Arcturus dialed it back to the more manageable default size. Continuing their close-quarters dog-fight, Arcturus occasionally tried to get an opening by allowing the enemy's blade to pass through his by cycling his beam saber on and off. He opened a public channel.

"You know, Samson, I think I'm a bit flattered that your masters think my people dangerous enough to consistently warrant deploying your kind. Makes me a little nolstalgic, too. Fighting your caliber of pilot is a challenge I loved since I was a boy, but I'm getting a sense of dissappointment from this duel. Probably something to do with the fact that you didn't exactly earn those abilities of yours, you cheating cyborg freak. That speed's a real giveaway. Too unnatural. If I live through this, I promise I'm going to dig the hardware out of your skull and use the rest of you to grease my Suit.", Arcturus broadcast.
