"Tch, Funnels?" That wasn't quite what Riku had expected. Actually, Funnels would probably be the only viable way to ambush him in this position. Based on the shape, he could guess they came from a Queen Mansa. Not exactly a low-level Mobile Suit. Between the drone strikes from its Funnels, Mega Particle Gun, and Giant Beam Sabers it was definitely loaded. But it was also somewhat of a bulky suit. It needed to be, in order to carry all those Funnels. He also knew those Funnels were not self-powered. Once low on energy, they'd have to return to the suit that deployed them to recharge. If he could just last long enough, they'd have to return to his opponent and he could follow them right to her!

"Alright, let's do this then." Riku told the woman over the public channels. Immediately he fired a sweeping shot with his DODS Rifle, but it wasn't aimed at any of the incoming Funnels. Nope, it was aimed at the ground directly in front of Metal Angel. The blast from the rifle kicked up just enough dirt and dust to create a temporary smokescreen that would partially obscure the Metal Angel from view. Immediately after, Riku docked the rifle back onto the Angel's back and sent the Gunpla forward to get to work. Between the dust cloud and the general low accuracy of the Funnels, they'd have a decently hard time hitting their mark. The Metal Angel, on the other hand, could merely punch them or swipe them out of the air and crush them in it's hands. Seeing them shouldn't be too hard, so long as Riku made sure to aim his attacks at the sources of the beam shot flashes. All he had to do was keep this up long enough.

Sooner or later, the Funnels would have no choice but to return to the Queen Mansa from which they came. That was Riku's chance! He wasted no time and sent his Gunpla after the Funnels from a safe distance. Ideally, once he found his mark he could force them into a melee fight, something the Metal Angel greatly excelled at.
