The Black Jack uses its blades to deflect the claw attacks, and returns fire in kind with its own wrist blasters. The plasma shots are well on target, but don't do much at all, the Black Jack having heavy enough armour to tank most light attacks.
"Hey! I'll have ya know Black Jack was made for me by a very good friend of mine! If you insult it, you insult her, and that's something I won't forgive!"
Those shoulder-mounted heavy cannons swing into position again...
"Now say hello to my little friend!"
Once again, four heavy beams are fired in the Vic Viper's direction.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."I... don't actually know. The game in question has Units Not to Scale, although in cutscenes I think the pilot - who is a rather short girl - doesn't even reach up to the mech's knee, so a normal person would probably be knee height on it, but I'm not sure... I'll just say it's the same size as that Viper.
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Vic Viper dances past the return fire before transforming back to fighter mode and rockets straight up, evading the Laser volley.
"I'm calling it what it is, seriously a manned mech? Then again the tech makes it obviously look pretty primitive."
Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.Fuck it, say I have the upgrade, but this is still the last time I'll be able to use this:
Those hatches on its legs and arms open up again, and the Black Jack faces the Viper and delivers another Macross Missile Massacre.
"Hey, I've yet to meet the drone that can out-fly me! Though you're the closest one's come..."

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."In that case, why not using something completely bonkers?
(out of the suddenly opened portal flies... this weirdass mecha
◊, glancing around)
...oh that is just fantastic.(whoever mans the robot doesn't seem too pleased with this development)
This time, Vic Viper was ready for the missile swarm and defends once again with missiles and insane evasive maneuvers.
WEAPON SWITCH: MICRO MISSILE
Yet again not every missile is defeated, due to the damage from the last time the missile volley was used; the jet's performance wasn't quite as good, resulting in a few more missiles to seemingly find their mark and close in for the kill...
DEFENSE ACTIVE: PLASMA SHIELD
That is until a pair of large orbs of electricity suddenly form on the aft side of the Jet, tanking the missiles and allowing it to emerge from the shower of ordnance mostly unscathed.
"As I said! Primitive!"
WEAPON SWITCH: RIPPLE SHOT
And then Vic Viper retaliates with its own high-powered laser attack: firing two volleys of the large ring-shaped lasers. Their size and shape makes evading them quite a bit more difficult than its regular lasers though they are notably slower and less accurate. But the Viper was not done with its offense and proceeded to unleash its most powerful asset:
DEPLOY: OPTIONS
A pair of arrow-shaped drones shoot out of the underside of the Jet and then take positions on its starboard and port sides before firing the same blue lasers as their mothership. The beams had shorter pulses and were notably weaker, but consequently, they fired faster.

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.The Black Jack rises into the air, and tries to dodge the Ripple Shot ring-lasers, but is mostly unsuccessful, taking significant damage. However, the Options drones are less successful, due to Black Jack's heavy armour.
"I... I can do this!" This line of dialogue indicates that Black Jack has reached about 50% damage.
Firing both light lasers and more machine-gun bolts, the Black Jack focusses its fire on the Viper, dismissing and ignoring the Options drones.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."The Machine gun is slightly successful in its endavour as it was able to fill one of Vic Viper's wings full of holes, further spoiling its maneuverability.
"I so deserve an overhaul after this!"
WEAPON SWITCH:PROTON TORPEDO
The Options fire once more, aiming for the head, hands and laser cannons; ignoring the heavy armor while their mothership does a hit-and-fade attack by firing a quintuple volley of proton torpedoes at BJ before pulling away and diving straight down, in the hopes of using the buildings and terrain for cover.

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.The Black Jack ducks, avoiding the shots at its head, while firing at the incoming Photon Torpedoes with both its machine-guns and lasers. Two are taken out, but then the Options drones successfully take out its right-hand weaponry, and the Black Jack fails to dodge and is nailed by the last two photon torpedoes, sent slamming into a building.
Asaga swears as she loses half her light firepower, and then screams as the photon torpedoes pound her mech. Red lights light up her control consoles like a Christmas tree, and even more weapons systems go unresponsive.
The mech stands up, its booster rockets power up, and it begins flying upwards, slowly at first but gradually gaining speed.
Dammit... I'm outta missiles, half my light weapons are gone, no way I can get in melee range of that fast little bugger again (and he's got two hands to my one remaining sword), two of my heavy cannons are trashed and he'd just dodge the other two...
Hate to admit it, but the Sword of Justice is no good broken... not to mention, Chigara's gonna freak when she sees this...Ugh!
Asaga fumes.
Curse of the Master of None strikes again... and Black Jack just can't compete on mobility.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Vic Viper climbs away from the facility and straight towards a portal that just formed in the space right in front of it.
"We'll leave it at this for now. But I'll be back! And you'll be eating my contrails!"
And Vic Viper is taken to parts unknown by the portal

Foolish donkey, you would not be able to resist me if I wished your annihilation.High above, a giant starship warps in just long enough to pick up the damaged Black Jack. If anyone had been looking and close enough to see, they would have seen its name written as Sunrider.
Asaga groans as she clambers out of the crippled Black Jack... and finds a certain blue-haired girl, silver-haired captain, and brunette first officer waiting for her. Accusing glares were aimed at her from every direction, and she couldn't help but feel she'd rather have another round with the Proton Torpedoes.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Oh great, now I want to write about where VV went!
Meanwhile wherever Vic Viper is... The Mech exits the dimensional sea and into a section of outer space... A very busy section of outer space with literal lanes of space traffic coming to and from a planet whose entire surface is literally one massive city/factory and with several orbital elevators on its equator holding up a massive space station that looked like an artificial ring around the city-planet.
Home sweet home.
But the planet was not the white machine's destination... It was the planet's single moon, also covered in industry and urban construction, but not utterly.
"This is VV.3.1.2001, requesting clearance to land on Tranquility Base over."
This is Tranquility base, clearance granted. Good to see you again Vic Viper.
"Didn't want to come back so soon ya know? But getting my exhaust port kicked this badly makes gracing this undeserving place with my greatness a necessary evil."
That's an affirmative... Say you heard about what Idolo did?
"That old fossil? What? Attacked some native magic-users in some backwater world and ended up committing local genocide without clearance? Again?"
Better, it ended up getting itself axed. Thing got stuck off the list just yesterday.
The Mech is then gently guided into a waiting hangar by a pair of repair robots.
"Really? Id might be several transistors short of a circuit but its still one tough cookie thanks to all that Metatron in it. How'd it get axed?"
Nothing concrete yet, but it's safe to say its demise was its own fault.
"That's news."
Oh, one more thing: Who kicked your aft?
"...A-An advanced and highly capable fighting machine! It was a monster! Too bad it was no match for ol' Vic Viper!"
You're totally pulling that out of your exhaust port.
"Am not!"
Real mature there.
After the Robots secure Vic Viper into the hangar, they then begin repairing and treating the machine, starting first with a fine buffing to get the soot and ash off.
"I don't see y- Aaaaahhh... That's the stuff..."

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."A Cool Gate of golden Instant Runes opens nearby, and this familiar blonde girl steps out. Spotting Sho, she approaches.
"...you again."
"...thank you for your assistance against Idolo. I probably would not have been able to defeat it without you."

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."

Vic Viper waits up until the last moment before jetting to the side and counterattacking with a quick and furious combo of electrified claw swipes before swiftly breaking away and firing a fusillade of plasma shots from its claws.
"You think you can beat this superior design ya tin can? "
