Setting: Outside Thorn Garden Base in Side 1 Shoal Zone 8:40 a.m.
Char – "So, you're Gato. Your reputation precedes you 'Nightmare.'" Gato – "I can say the same thing of you 'Red Comet.'" Announcer – "Oh great, why do they always send me the losers." Char and Gato – "LOSERS!" Announcer – "Well now look at the time; I think we need get this thing going… Fight!"

This was no time to be cocky. Although Mobile Armors have a history of being death to Mobile Suits, the Gundam had a reputation of destroying them. Couple that with the fact that Char is on equal terms with the Gundam, and this would prove itself to be a brutal match.
'An I-Field Generator? This could prove quite infuriating.' Thought Char. 'If I take it our, I can make some progress.' Char then decided to get this fight going; before the giant did. The Funnels would do no good; so Char had to get in close with his Beam Sabers. Yet, how does one attack a colossus with the weapons of a human?
Gato could not allow Char to get in close. He pulled back with the Neue Ziel, and fired his Beam Cannons at Char. Char evaded them easily enough; so Gato choose to try another tactic.
Char was not making progress; his best efforts were not enough to catch up to Gato. Something troubled him. A feeling of unease overcame him; he vomited. 'Lalah, please show me how… thank you.' Gato once again saw his enemy; he saw through the masks, through the shroud of bravery, into the shadow of death, Gato's death.
Char – 'Funnels go.'

It was time to begin the attack, Gato launched his full complement of Missiles at the Sazabi; an overwhelming force that nothing could withstand. But, a large explosion came form behind the Neue Ziel. Gato was rocked by a massive detonation, what had Char done?
Char had seen the Missiles coming, so he sent the Funnels in to provide scrimmage. The Neue Ziel was reeling; it was time to commence with the end.
Gato may have lost the initiative with that one; but he would not stand idle and alloy himself to be destroyed. He preferred the vastness of space to this cluttered area, but he could manage well enough. He once again targeted Char, firing a salvo of his Beam Cannons. Char was forced to abandon his charge to avoid the incoming assault. Gato was then party to the Sazabi's Mega Particle Cannon attack. I-Field or not, that was a stumbling block for the Neue Ziel.
Char may not have damaged his foe there; but it did give Gato something to think about. 'Let's play with his mind.' Char thought. He charged the Neue Ziel, who had recovered by this point. The Beam Cannon shots rang by once more, but Char launched some of his decoys, and slipped out of sight. He did not claim to know every little thought in Gato's head, but he did feel apprehension.
Char had slipped through his fingers again; Gato searched franticly for the Sazabi, but found only decoys and shadows. Proximity Alert! The Sazabi came out from behind an asteroid and lodged a Beam Saber right in the center of one of Gato's I-Field Generators. With astounding speed it then threw a Beam Tomahawk at another Generator, and slashed another in less than 4 seconds.
Char had him; that I-Field would collapse with only 1 of 4 Generators working. Gato was no easy prey though. Gato sent in his Wire Arms after Char; Char had to block one with his Shield, and had to quickly flee when it fired a Beam Cannon. The other Arm wielded a Beam Saber Blade, and rushed at the Sazabi.
This fight was over. Char dodged, so that the Beam Saber Arm lopped off the other Arm, it was easy enough to then blow that Arm off with a Funnel. Gato fired his Beam Cannons, but he could not avoid the Sazabi; the Mega Particle Cannon was an inferno coming for the Neue Ziel. Sure Gato was not hit by the full force of the attack, but it was another ring of Gato's death bell.
Gato had no other option, the Neue Ziel could still take a great deal of damage, but he would lose at this rate. He set in a course to ram the Sazabi, Char could not survive that.
'That fool is going to ram me!' Char thought. 'He doesn't know that I have become invincible.' The attack was fast and furious; still, it was simple to dodge and slice through a cockpit.
