Lirath - Ground Battle

 After dropping off some of the crew at Balisair, it was time for the crew to set course for Lirath. The situation greeting them wasn't the most promising.

The cracked surface of the moon called Lirath was one of its most unmistakeable features. One of the three moons of the planet Kehoe, it had been terraformed and served as a settlement for a hundreds of different species, some humanoid, some not. Despite occasional class struggles, environmental issues, and speciesism blocking their way, the darker parts of Lirath's past were largely left behind, and an era of peace and tolerance had reigned for quite some time. The only problems they'd had recently were with a terrorist group whose cause for their actions had been a mystery, but they weren't tied to any particular species or social group and had been likened to a cult and had largely gone quiet in recent years.

Now the peace on the moon of Lirath had been shattered by the invasion of the Ohm.

The capital city had been destroyed. Now, all that was left of the peoples of Lirath was evacuating from one of its smaller cities, one known as Smyteval. A desert city, existing in a valley in between a rocky range of canyons and mountains, even though it was in the low ground, the natural channels of rock served as bottlenecks for any Ohm attacking from the ground.

GIA squadrons patrolled in space, locked in explosive warfare, protecting the Bleed-gate that had been activated to see the evacuated ships to the refugee world, and a shield created by massively-powerful shield generators extended around the city and up into the atmosphere, creating a shielded tunnel so ships could escape.

Word had come that there was a vital weapon to be deployed on Lirath, one that needed to be destroyed, hence why the Transmigration 9 had been called in. Given the diverse crew, and the ships that were in its hangar, there was at least someone or something on board that could blow the weapon up if it did show.

There was no sign of it yet. Right now, there was just chaos, streams of evacuees boarding ships, armies of Ohm engaged with GIA soldiers outside the shields, and forcefields that everyone hoped would hold out just a little bit longer.

The crew would be following Leon's orders but finding themselves fighting side-by-side with GIA platoons, full of various species that were currently all getting their asses kicked severely.

With a roar of bright thruster fire, a large silver-white mech (http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-171ex.htm) set down on the ground near Hana, cutting loose with a barrage of armor-piercing machine gun fire.

Hey, Hana, came a familiar voice over the comms. I didn't know you could do that.

Hana came to a sudden stop in his giddy assault to gape up at the impressive robot. "Zo-Zouichi? Is that you?"

The pods mounted atop the shoulders of the Battroid opened, sending a stream of micro-missiles streaking in silvery arcs toward an approaching host of Bombardiers.

Yeah. What's with the surprise? Didn't I mention that I pilot?

The teens eyes followed the path of the missiles. "No, dude, you didn't!"

Hana turned to cut down another enemy before shouting. "Where'd you get that thing?"

Well, what can I say? I like things that make other things explode. But I'm just borrowing this -- it's a variable fighter the ship picked up from somewhere.

He switched to GERWALK, rising a little up off the ground to get a better angle of fire. How're you doing? This battle looks like it might get a little rough.

"Man, that is so cool! Do you think I could get one?"

For a moment, Hana was rushed and lost in a mess of flailing bodies before some consecutive boomerang shaped blasts of energy sent them sprawling somewhere else. "I dunno. I've just started so it's not too bad."

I don't know. Guess you'd have to ask Starfighter Command. They might give you problems about your age, though.

He used a volley of beam cannon fire to loosen up some of the resistance around one of the supply trucks, lifting another free as it crashed into an abandoned building. Yeah? Well, be careful out there.

"Wouldn't be the first time!" Hana laughed, cheerily.

He cut through a few more enemies with his Scimitar, no death blows, but serious injuries nonetheless. "You too man! If I find your ghost out here I'm going to stick it in a tablet and keep it under Taro's pillow to tech you a lesson, so watch your back!"

Threats will get you everywhere, he said. Not that he was planning to die here, anyway.

With that, he lift off, pursuing a small swarm of bombardiers.
