"Just about..." Katina flicked a few switches, and pecked at a fold-out keyboard, fiddling with the settings on the shotgun and slash rippers. Even with the same starting specs, she'd altered settings mid-battle before, and this was no different.

"Alright. Ready to go!"

Their starting positions were an acceptable ways apart, and by his estimation, there was a decent chance he'd be able to welcome Katina with a hail of gunfire right out of the gate. He did, at least, check-- it was the M95, good enough.

Worth wasting some ammunition to get a feel for the way the Gespenst moved, Hayato laughed to himself as the system counted down to the battle's start, not entirely for the sake of acting recklessly again. He tried to open fire at her immediately, but getting ahead of himself, fell at least half a second short on top of his non-interest towards actual aim.

As the count-down started, Katina pressured the stabilizers and control points in the Gespenst, while lightly fingering the weapons controls. She focused momentarily, then throttled her Gespenst the moment the count finished; her mechs thrusters and legs paused for less than a second, then threw it strafing to the right.

As she strafed, she released a single slash ripper curving around at the same angle to her left, and drew her shotgun without firing. She winced but said nothing as the reckless spray hit the Gespenst's shoulder and clipped its left leg.

He isn't taking me seriously, is he?

"Come on! I wasn't even trying!" Hayato taunted, as he debated on how to dodge the ripper in his relatively sluggish machine. For the moment, he was watching Katina in the interest of some later inspiration.

The decision was made obvious when he accelerated from a standstill into the disk's path and had the Gespenst's left arm intercept it. Intercept, being a sly way to describe the weapon neutralized, but now lodged in its forearm section. Hayato mocked the disk's arc as he advanced on the Lieutenant in a similar way, firing his machine gun almost as liberally and wide as last time.

Conventional tactics be damned, it wasn't a conventional fight.
