Shamus, happy his superiors had given him a prototype instead of a old model, noted the impact of the gauss pistols' ammunition coliding . . . with the ground at his sides.
"I never knew the electromagnitic armour could deflect gauss shots. Intresting."
Shamus replied by floating his mech slightly in the air, an anti-gravity field giving the mecha the ability of flight. |

Sparks flew through the air as the whip made contact with the wires of the rocket fists, drawing the lines towards Shamus' robot -- and moments later, the whip was repelled by the force of the rocket fists striking it as they returned to the fists of the Melvin Robo.
Melvin: Not bad! He's got an excellent array of attacks, good reflex actions, and the armor's quite durable. Let's see if it'll hold up to something a bit tougher...
Melvin's hands left the control sticks, and he tapped a button before reaching down beside his seat, and drawng what looked like a pair of Nintendo Zappers, painted grey, and with long wires attatched to the console. Melvin Robo acted accordingly by reaching ito it's metallic coat, and drawing a pair of large pistols -- Gauss Pistols, in fact -- pistols that used advanced railgun technology to propel small projectiles to nigh-immesurable speeds to slam into their targets with incredible force.
Melvin: Target, Lock On!
In his console, a large red bracket appeared around Shamus' robot on his HUD. He pointed both the pistol-shaped controls in his hand at the highlighted robot, and pulled the triggers.
Melvin: Fire!
Acting in unison with the pilot, Melvin Robo pointed both it's guns towards Shamus' mecha and fired, sending a pair of tiny metal projectiles towards it's midsection -- at about an estimated third of the speed of light. |

Shamus hopped backwards, the fists crashing into the ground in front of him. A plasma whip flashed to life in his right hand, and he used it to grab the rocket fist lines and pull them towards himself. |

The the most badass fashion possible, Melvin Robo's head tilted to the side, the laser from Shamus' mecha passing directly by it. As Melvin pushed both his control sticks forward, the Melvin Robo responded accordingly by extending it's arms towards the mecha.
Melvin: Chaaaain Knuckle!
Both of the mecha's rocket-propelled fists detatched from the wrists, hurtling towards Shamus' mecha, and at the last moment -- Melvin pulled on the control levers, and the fists quickly darted away from the head-on collision, then up into the air, then hurtled down towards the mecha's legs. It didn't seem to make any sense, until something glinted in the air behind one of the fists -- it was a strand of carbon nanotube fiber, what the strongest 'ropes' in the universe are made out of, as well as the popular Planet Kabangers, as well as lines for rocket fists that tend to cleave directly through whatever they touch, including mecha, and especially their legs. |

Shamus' mecha rolled to the side, the lasers barely nicking the edge of its armour. Shamus returned fire with hiw own laser. |

At that instant, Melvin slammed forward yet another lever--
Melvin: Daizer Goooo!
On Shamus' radar, the heat signature splits into two, the second one dropping down a tad to the ground. The other, the UFO Spazer, continues flying at him, the beam passing directly by it. The Spazer flies directly over Shamus' mecha through the mist for a moment, hopefully getting his attention long enough for--
Melvin: Melvin Beam!
A pair of powerful twin red lasers cut through the mist, aimed directly towards Shamus' mecha. |

Shamus noticed a heat signature north-east of him, and coming at him at a good speed. Since his missiles required a lock, he blindly sliced a laser beam through the air, before readying himself for the oncoming mecha. |

Melvin pulled on his control stick, wheeling the UFO Spazer around, flying towards Shamus' general direction.
Melvin: Now's as good of a time as any -- Shoot In!
His cushy control chair slid back and out of view, presumably to an elevator or some such device. Moments later, his chair slid into Melvin Robo's main cockpit and locked into place, as the Auto-Pilot light glowed on the UFO Spazer's control panel. |

The missles exploded against a faint green barrier that surrounded Shamus' mecha, only showing up as the missles exploded. The Spin Saucers dig into the sides of the mecha, but do little damage to the heavly armoured torso of the mecha. Shamus begins to scan the surrounding area using his suit's infrared sensors, looking for the heat Melvin's mecha would give off. |

(Actually, that'd be great.  )
Melvin reacted quickly at the shower of missles flying towards him. He pushed the pilot control stick forward, dipping the UFO Spazer down under the shower of missles, which quickly turned to follow him. Pitching left, he spiraled up, leveling out and heading directly for Shamus' mecha --
Melvin: Anti-Radar Mist!
A thick, purple mist spewed out the back of the tail end of the Spazer, quickly clouding up the immediate area around the Spazer and Shamus' mecha, blocking both sight and radar equipment. Melvin quickly pulled up into the clouds, leaving a swarm of blinded missles heading straight for Shamus -- not to mention the twin Spin Saucers, which were only feet from carving into his hull. |

As the blades were launched, a mecha dropped from the clouds in free fall, clearly Shamus' mecha. It appeared to be a ten meter tall metal golem, painted snow-camo white.
As it fell, small hatches opened on the front of the mecha, and a swarm of missles shot forth. A total of fifty micro-missles flew towards Melvin, all guided by both Shamus and their own personal radar. Each packed the same destructive power as a TOW-2 missle, an anti-tank weapon. The hatches closed after firing.
Shamus kicked back in the mecha's flight as it neared the ground, allowing it to land without slamming into the ground. He noticed the weapon list on a screen show at 5% of his missles had been launched, a full barrage.
OOC: If you'd like, I can try and get a picture of what it looks like online. |

Melvin quickly jerked his right control stick sharply, the UFO Spazer darting off to the right, and easily dodging the laser.
Melvin: It's on like Donkey Kong
Shifting a hand up to the left control stick, his targeting reticule focused in on the spot where his radar indicated Shamus' mecha was.
Melvin: Spin Saucer!
Large razor blades sprout out of both the large red discs mounted to the Spazer's wings, then shoot off in Shamus' direction, ready to cut into his mecha. |

Shamus smiled. "What ever you say."
Through the cloudcover above Melvin, a thin, white laser beam shot forth out of the clouds, aimed near the back end of his mecha. The angle could mean that it was fired by Shamus.
OOC: I'll be a bit slow in replying. Have something that's stealing my free time. |

A large red dot, representing Shamus' mecha, appeared on Melvin's own radar inside his UFO Spazer, blinking and beeping and so forth. Melvin promptly swiveled, putting on one of those cool helmets Super Robot pilots gets, with the tinted visors and all that, and grips both of his main control sticks.
Melvin: This is a weapons testing area... So that's got to be him.
He moved to his radio, and pushed in the transmitter button, which began to glow a bright red, denoting that it had opened a channel with Shamus' robot.
Melvin: Heeeeey! Good day for a Super Robot fight, wouldn't you say? |

Shamus noted the approaching craft, knowing that it had to be Melvin. No Canadian aircraft were allowed to fly through an Air Weapons Testing Area.
He turned off his music and flicked on his radio, and waited for Melvin to either talk or get within striking range. I'll at least give the kid a bit of warning.
He quickly tapped a set of keys, and his suit lifted off the ground. It raised into the cloud cover, before hovering almost silently.
OOC: Yes, we're fighting in a weapons testing area. No holding back.  |

Time passes. Melvin continued to sit idly, and as he entered range of Shamus' radar systems, he was eating popcorn and watching his own sensors, checking for anything of interest. |

Shamus did another check over everything, making sure all his weapons were in working order and all. He then waited for his laser-based radar to tell him of anything aproaching within 10 kilometers of him. Although he was on mostly flat land, the freshly fallen two feet of snow had covered his mecha, making it hard to see against the surrounding white snow.
OOC: I'll give a description of the mecha when you first see it. |

(A little info on the UFO Spazer can be found here.)
About a day or so later, Melvin sat in the cockpit of Melvin Robo, his feet up on the control panel, steering with his feet. He appeared to be flying a craft that looked like some funky flying disc with wings and a tailfin, with Melvin Robo's head tacked onto the front.
Setting his drink into the cupholder, Melvin leaned over to check the navigation systems.
Melvin: Hovering over... Michigan. Estimated time of arrival... two hours.
He rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Melvin: I can only wonder what that kooky engineer's got in store for me... |

The following morning, Shamus was back in the same seat he had been for the past several weeks, surrounded by the same screens and monitors he had been for the past several weeks, but today was different. He was finally going to be able to test the contraption he was sitting in.
However, he was waiting for his help in testing to show up before he did anything. He simply sat in the rigid chair, tapping his hand to the clasical music playing through his radio. |

Melvin hung up the phone, and turned, pointing a finger at Booster.
Melvin: I want Melvin Robo prepped and ready to go in less than a day, and I want all work on the UFO Spazer completed by then! Put all engineering Gims on double-time, and shift a few squadrons over from communications or something if need be.
Booster: On it.
Booster turned, pressing a finger into the red button on the intercom.
Booster: All Gim units in engineering, please report to drydock 2. Completion of the UFO Spazer is required by ten-hundred hours tomorrow morning. Squadrons 2 and 4 in communications, report to robotics dock 2 and prepare Melvin Robo for transport by twenty-four hundred hours tonight. That is all. |
