Moon's Touch

[Moon Walker]

A man walks to his newly bought hanger which is appearantly isn't so new as what who sold it to him claimed, but what can he do, he barely had enough money to afford one he should be lucky to atleast have something to get him started, being part of the Formula Front League comes before thinking of reaching the top.

"Phew.." he said letting out a long exhale as he put down a heavy closed cardboard box, "Alright, with what should I begin with?" He walked aound the hanger till he reached a large steel door that is closed shut, he found a dusty panel beside it, as soon as he got close to it automatically started up then asked for the name and password, he pulled out a small paper from his pocket which had the name and password written on it by the man who sold the hanger to him, the computer accepted it after he entered them and unlocked the door which let out a loud screech as it slid open.

In front of him was a standard model AC with all first generation parts, cover by a coat of dust, the hanger slowly restored its power and activated the lights and transferred some of the energy to activate the AC, the AC's eye glowed faint skyblue, can barely move, the man stared at the AC imagining how much change it will get to turn from nothing to something.

He headed back to the entrance to get his box and went to his room, it was dusty like the rest of the hanger but it was tidy, he put down the box and took out his cleaning tools, after about an hour of dusting and cleaning his room was spotless, now he could do that to the hanger itself but how would one man clean something 20 times his own room, he thought of hiring some cleaners but he needed money, so he just headed back to the hanger and activated the main computer, changed the name and password and entered a new name for the AC, "Render", the AC was brought to view, he began changing the AC till he got satisfied with it, then applied the paint scheme he had in his head after trying it on a virtual AC, it took him about an hour and half to finalize his AC and now it was time to tune it. ( Check my personal Hanger in the Designer's Hanger for MW-Render )

While he was a good AC pilot before, he wanted to test his knowledge of ACs and AIs so he switched the screen to the AI tuning screen, he noticed few wires came down from the ceiling onto the head of the AC then there was blue lights coming from it to the AC, he assumed that was the AI tuner, he checked the base character and tuned it to the following:
Range: -8
Action: 12
Dash: 7
Jump: -10
Run: -16
Tactics: 12

Then checked the Performance and tuned it to what was needed, as for the Operations, he had little chips and none was useful except for the ATB-1 which improves the AC's blading capability, so he installed it.

As soon as he finished he took a final look at his AC to see it shining and new with its eye glowing Yellow Green, it was a work of art, but it still has to prove itself in combat, so he printed the AC's details and put the computer on stand by mode then headed off the FFA, there he stood in long line of people wanting to start a team or just signing up hoping to join a team, which reminded our new comer that he haven't decided to make a new team or join one, as soon as he reached the desk he filled the form till he reached the question:
"Would you like to:
-Start a New Team. Enter Team Name:_______
-Look for a Team to join. Enter Team Name:______ (Optional) "

It took about a minute or so to think then ticked the first option and Entered the name "Moon Walkers" as the Team's Name, and signed the form, the receiptionist asked for his AC's details so he handed it to her, "The Moon Walkers, huh?" the man behind him spoke, "Sounds like a good team for me to join, I'm Klen, and I'd like to join your team, I'm specialized in close range tactics." "I'm Omar, I'm grateful to find my first member for the team, and I too am specialized in close range tactics, we'll meet in my Hanger later on, once you sign up, there we'll complete our talks." Klen nodded and shook Omar's hand before he went back to his Hanger and laid down on his bed to rest.


---------------
Don't post here, I'll start another thread for discussion.

[Moon Walker]

The door bell rang just as Omar was going to drift in dream land, he got up, wiped his face then went to answer the door, it was Klen, carrying a heavy box with a sheet of paper on top of it, "Good day, leader. May I come in?" "Good day to you, sure come in, oh and let's not start with the leader thing, we've yet to decide who will it be." Klen nodded and went in trying to balance the box, "My AC details is on this sheet of paper over the box, if you want to see what kind of AC I'm using, the FFA already added the team in the bottom league with both of our ACs." Omar took the sheet and tried to imagine the AC, it had two FINGER machine gun and dual back rockets that fire four rockets at once, "Interesting AC you got there, can't wait to actually see it."

Omar lead Klen to one of the empty rooms in the hanger, it was few feet away from his, as soon as they got in, Klen dropped the box that disturbed the dust, making it enter their lunges forcing to get out of the room caughing, "Is this my room? it's so dirty!" Klen said, "Well, my situation was the same as you, I had to clean the place up so, be a man and do it yourself, unless you have enough money to hire cleaners." Omar replied wiping the dust off his eyes, "In any case I'm going to challenge opponent now, need to get people's attention, so that we can get more members."

Klen was left in his room as he headed towards the computer to issue the challenge, as soon as the challenge was posted it immediatly was accepted, guess they knew it was coming, his opponent is Fury of Team Domino, an odd name but their team has many tough ACs, one of the is ranked 13th. in the League.

Omar left the hanger for the Battle Centre after informing Klen about the main computer's codes in case he needed to use it, there he was informed where his AC's battle will take place, a transport took him to the battle Arena in Azoy desert, his opponent was already there checking his AC Fury, it was a quad AC equipped with the large right arm grenade launcher and the GOLEM left arm sniper rifle, on its back left is the KARURA micro missiles launcher, the owner greeted Omar and introduced himself, Omar did the same then waited for AC to arrive, both architects watched the large screen as it displayed both ACs in the middle of the desert beside a small hill, ( to an AC not a human ) as soon as the battle started the AC race towards each other at high speed.

Render, Omar's AC, closed in at Fury and fired it's GIANT spread Bazooka at it thenactivated its EO core, Fury circled Render as soon as it started its attack and fired its arm weapons, the Grenade launcher stunned Render a bit while the sniper rifle chiped its AP little by little, Render cleverly boosted backwards to let Fury end up in front of it and launch its attacks again then succesfully make an aerial blade strike as it flew past it.

Fury backed away to fire its micro missiles while still firing the sniper rifle at Render, Render wasn't programed to evade all the attacks so it boosted straight to the swarm of missiles, fortunately the missiles weren't that accurate so it didn't suffer heavy damage and continued the attack till Fury forgot about its energy and drained it all putting it into charging state, Render seized the moment and finished it off with two blade slashes in a row, disabling the AC in the explosion of the blade's wave.

Omar was victorious, and Render moved up to #4 in the bottom league group A, because of the many new teams and ACs singing up in the FFA, they had to split the bottom league to five groups, each have teams and ACs there, all work the same way, if you reach the top you join the actual League, Klen came up to Omar and congratulated him on his win as well as his opponent and few people who were watching the match.

Omar and Klen headed back to the Hanger, Klen asked him about the Team's Emblem and color scheme, "Doesn't matter what color you use on your AC, I don't want to restric anyone with team colors, as for the Emblem, well I haven't thought of one yet." "Well, we have to get one soon, by the way, what do think of my AC?" Said Klen as he pointed at his AC which was green as a leaf, the AC looked great, with the FINGER machine gun on both hands and the dual rockets on the back, the eye or scope was glowing green like the rest of the AC, "I can't judge it yet, it seems good from the outside, I'll tell my thoughts once I see it in action." Klen smirked "No problem, my match will start in a fwe hours, after the match we'll go to a nice restaurant to eat, my treat."

-Dewlite City, 1200 hours-

Omar and Klen stared at the screen as it displayed the teams' name and ACs, the match was between Leaf of Moon Walkers, and Justice of Trance, Leaf is a close range combat AC weilding two FINGER machine guns and the dual back rockets, its opponent Justice was a long range sniper, carrying a powerful sniper on the right, SP shotgun on the left and the dual back vertical missiles.

It didn't take long for the two ACs to start their attacks after the count down, Justice fired off the vertical missiles which connected perfectly, that didn't stop Leaf from closing on Justice and unleashing a storm of bullets that quickly ate Justice's armor away, Justice tried to get out of the predicement by Over Boosting away but a perfectly timed Rocket shot at it threw it off its focus cause to to crash on the suspension of the bridge, Leaf took this chance and continued the barrage of fire till Justice's armor finally broke and was defeated.

Omar congratulated Klen on his victory and just as they were about to leave, a black AC came from no where and started attacking Leaf, Leaf countered by using its back rockets and with almost perfect aiming it took out a lot of the AC's Armor, the AC continued the assault with it's right arm plasma rifle that shot a pink electrical beam which found its target and burst in a pink explosion, Leaf was in critical state, it dropped the Fingers for the WRAITH handguns and fired them at the black AC stunning it in place, the AC couldn't take much more of the attack and Over Boosted out of the Area.

Back in the room where Omar and Klen were at, a fight broke between them and Team Red Eyes, that black AC was theirs, of course both Omar and Klen were outnumbered, it was 2 vs. 5, team Red Eyes beat up both Omar and Klen but they were saved after a big man came and threw them away one by one with ease, Omar got up wiping the blood from his mouth as he watched that cowardly team run away.

"You guys ok?" the big man asked, Omar nodded, Klen however was knocked out, couldn't take the beating, the big man carried him over his shoulder and led Omar to his house, there he put Klen on his bed and brought few bandages with him while Omar took a bag filled Ice to reduce the swelling of his lips, "My name if Ricky by the way, owner of the AC named Mint." Omar shook his hand then introduced himself, "I'm Omar, Owner of AC Render and Creator of Team Moon Walkers, that guy there is Klen, my first member of my team." Ricky turned to Omar in shock, "You're still new? then what does Team Red Eyes want from you? they are one of the top teams in FFA, there are known for screwing other teams but rarely look at newcomers and try screwing them."

Omar stayed quiet, not knowing how to respond, "Well whatever their reasons were, it must've been serious." Ricky said.

-Vina parking-

Omar was watching the current match with Klen waiting for his match which is right after this one, Crest was going against Barda for the 15th rank, as far as the match went Barda was dominating Crest in every turn.

It was at end of the match where Barda had dropped its 81G grenade launcher and was left with the left arm KRSW, CR-LT49DG was at critical state, Barda charged its OB core, the EOS let out a big red flare that made Barda zoom almost to fast for the eye to catch, it zigzaged between the pillars then shot the KRSW with great accuracy that went between the pillar destroying Crest's AC giving Barda the victory.

Omar was astounded by Barda's great accuracy despite it was an AI, he looked for the owner of the AC but with all the crowd it was impossible, other than that his match was coming up.

Render of Moon Walkers was going against Hawk of Red Eyes, the team that assaulted him before, it seems like they wanted to scare off the new comers before their match but that didn't intimidate Omar, Klen stood beside Omar as they watch the ACs getting prepared, looking at the Red eyes every now and then for any surprize attacks.

Just as the match started Render boosted up the road towards Hawk who was firing off its dual laser rifles on both arms while backing away from its target, that slowly took out Render's AP but it didn't stop it from getting too close then make a fiery blade slash followed by an explosive wave that instantly burned Hawk in place, Render backed away firing its spread bazooka and inside rockets ( normal one ) along with the EO core, Hawk activated the SELENA core and used its energy pack extensions to regain its energy and continue the heavy assault, Render didn't have much defence to withstand heavy attacks but it did have good energy defence to keep it going.

Render switched its tactic to a defencive style, and boosted behind the pillars firing at every openning it sees, Hawk took the bait and came after Render only to get itself slashed by an aerial blade slash taking out a lot of its AP, Render did not stop yet as soon as its legs touched the ground it followed up with another blade slash destroying its opponent.

Render moves up to rank 3 in the buttom league, still a long way to go before dreaming of reaching the top.

[Moon Walker]

It was 9 PM and Omar is still trying to find a way to improve his AC, of course this never bother him at all till Klen came along telling him that his AC won't last the league, he tried changing the laser blade for a handgun but nothing out-lasts a laser blade.

At that time the computer made a low beep alerting Omar then switched to the camera pointing at the hanger door, there was a man wearing a black suit with a yellow shirt under it, its collar exposed, the man had a cigarette on his mouth, still new.

Omar went to greet him, the man introduced himself, his name was 'AJ' owner of the AC Barda, "I came here looking for the owner of the new blader AC called... uhh, Render was it?" Omar nodded saying "Yes, I made Render, my name is Omar, of team Moon Walkers." they both shook hands then Omar brought him inside the Hanger to the main computer room where the designing and planning is supposed to be discussed and done but the lack of Members makes it just like a living room.

"So what brings you here?"

"I saw your match as well as the other guy with the dual Fingers, your team looks promising, at least that's what I've seen so far."

"Thanks."

Klen comes in seeing AJ and Omar sitting down talking.

Klen: "What's going on? who's this?"
AJ: "The name's AJ, owner of Barda."
Klen: "Oh, I'm Klen, a pleasure to meet you."
AJ: "I was talking to Omar here to allow me to join the team."
Omar: *looking shocked* "What? a 15th ranker join us?"
Klen: *bumps Omar with his elbow saying from the side of his mouth* "Stay cool, we're going to need an architect like him... Really, that would be great."
AJ: "Of course, you'll have to convince me that I'm not making a mistake... by beating my AC." *grins*

Omar and Klen looked at each other then they both nodded at AJ and Omar volunteering to go first, "Fine, meet me at the Vina Parking in half an hour with your ACs." he said as he got up walking towards the door being followed by both members of the Moon Walkers.


-Vina Parking, 9:45 PM-

Render was looking up slightly to its left at Barda which is tightly gripping its weapons, both waiting for the signal, as soon as the speaker said "Go!" Render and Barda boosted towards each other, Barda made the first attack with both the 81G and KRSW at Render impeding its advance, Render moved between pillars to avoid getting hit but Barda was more of a sniper nearly landing every KRSW shot at Render while saving the grenade launcher for later. As soon as Render got close enough it jumped out of hiding to the open which proved to be a big mistake since that made Barda even more dangerous with its weapons, Barda overheated Render almost instantly but Render used it energy pack and started its attack using its spread bazooka, EO core and inside rockets.

Barda kept Render in its lock box till Render blinded it for sec by making a blade wave out of the laser blade that made an explosion, Render was out of Barda's view but not its radar, Render was staying behind Barda trying to cool down while letting the EO continue the assault, after wards Barda cleverly charged its OB core to evade a laser blade attack and circled Render putting it back on its lock box. Render, in critical state and Barda Over Boosting towards it, launched itself in the air activating the laser blade and made an aerial slash only to be struck down by the last 81G ammo.


Omar stared at his AC letting out black smoke as it bowed down behind Barda slightly to its left after failing to connect the laser blade attack then faced Klen, "I lost, think you can beat him after seeing how it fought?" Klen grinned putting his hand over Omar's left shoulder, "I'm not worried, I've spent countless weeks making this AC to counter ACs like Barda so I don't think I'll lose that easy." AJ let out a small laugh then turned to Klen, "We'll just have to see for ourselves now won't we?"

[Moon Walker]

Leaf enters the Vina Parking staring at Barda at the other end, high up, taking repairs before the match starts, Klen and AJ exchanging glares at each other Omar getting amused with it.

The signal went off and both AC fired their boosters, Barda still like a sniper struck Leaf at range with both weapons, Leaf became evasive about it and dodged the next wave of attack till he got close to Barda only to be welcomed by a KRSW and 81G blasts and set on fire with the napalm rocket, that didn't stop Leaf from unleashing a storm of bullets at Barda draining his AP quick like no one ever seen before. but as the heat is draining its energy away Leaf jumped over Barda landing behind him letting its radiator to cool the AC down.

Barda charged the OB core and circled the area till he got Leaf in its sight, but as it wanted to fire the KRSW it ran out of energy but cleverly enough it used the energy extensions just in time to avoid going to charging state, Leaf surprised Barda with a barrage of rockets and FINGER shots till it dried up and switched to the handguns, Barda got serious this time and with a well timed blast from the 81G its struck Leaf and sent it crashing on the corner of the wall where Barda kept its pressure on it till it could handle no more.

Barda wins again but with barely enough AP to stand up after those highspeed-AP eating-attacks.

AJ laughed at Klen for a bit then his face turned serious, "Alright, even though you both lost, I'll join you." Omar stood there crossing his arm not buying it, "Hmph, Haven't had enough teasing?" AJ turned to Omar, "What? don't believe me? I'm serious, the actual reason is I have this other new AC I have in mind to enter in the league so I was hoping maybe you guys would help me in tuning it whenever possible." Omar looks at Klen, sees him nodding his head then turns to AJ, "OK then, glad to have you with us." Omar said as he shook AJ's hand.

[Moon Walker]

AJ: "Alright then, I'll have my AC here tomorrow or the day after that."

Omar: "No problem."

AJ leaves the Arena, Omar and Klen head towards the Moon Walkers' Hanger both aiming to challenge the ones above them.



-Frontier Area-

Their match were sheduled at the same day and time but in different Arenas so they can't have each other's back this time, those Red Eyes seem to hold a grudge against them ever since they beat them back then.

Omar: "Watch your back and good luck!"
Klen: "Same to you."

They both went to their destination looking at their ACs being transported to the Arena, Omar checking his AC for the last time before deploying it to face Mistic Mind of team Z.X. II, their AC was a quad AC which has the machine gun Weapon Arms and the LX back cannon, its head resembled a radar and the body was CRONUS, it was color dark purple with green details and joints.

Both AC were in their places waiting to the match to start, as soon as the annoucer said 'GO!' both AC fired their boosters and charged at high-speed, Mistic Mind kept charging at Render not firing a single round while receiving hits from Render's GIANT spread bazooka and the inside rockets, and right before they collide Render activated the laser blade to attempt a blade slash but was blown away with a massive Energy beam exploding in its face taking out 3000+ of its AP, Mistic Mind switched to its weapon arms and rained bullets over Render who's trying to recover from the stun it is receiving from the MG bullets.

It made a blade slash suddenly and the push the boosters gave got it out of the lock-on box of its enemy, it used the energy pack extensions to regain some of its energy then began its attack phase, Mistic Mind backed away aiming with the LX cannon at Render which was zig-zaging its way towards it activating the EO core to add even more damage, just as Mistic was about to fire another LX shot it ran out of energy, Render got close and made a blade slash followed by a wave that exploded right after it landed directly at the core, Mistic Mind didn't let up and switched to the machine guns and showered Render again with bullets only this time Render had no where to go and soon its defences broke and lost the match.

Omar stood there watching his AC on fire as the owner of Mistic Mind grins an evil grin then goes to take the prize money and exit the Arena, he pulled out his note pad and wrote down few things on it then went back to the Hanger.
