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.

Negi smirked at that, continuing his chanting. Power was building and the Ohm could sense it as they attacked, but a shield of energy was building around him, courtesy of Chamo who held his Pactio card below.

Targeting glyphs appeared everywhere and the crackle of ozone grew sharp in the air.

... Okay, Will REALLY needed to look into figuring out how to make new ways of having her lightning do stuff. Or learn how to use a sword. Or a rocket launcher. Or power armor.

Because really, all she had was flinging lightning around. Which she did. Again.

Part of Sasami right now was thinking the same thing, Will - it was only so far that a staff could do in fighting these beasts. Smacking a few of them, she followed it up with Finish, a set of magic orbs spiraling around the girl and sending Ohm flying as she did.

Magic spiraled around Aqua as she leapt and spun, striking several surrounding Ohm.

Seeing how Will seemed to be frustrated, she called out, "Will! I'm going to try something. Be ready with your lightning!"

Moving closer to Will, she made sure her attack wouldn't hurt her while she cast Magnega, drawing several Ohm closer to them. Next, she cast Transcendence (http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Transcendence), generating an antigravity field around them. As the Ohm went flying into the walls of the field, Aqua shouted, "Now, Will!"

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Will couldn't help but grin as she noticed what Aqua had in mind. "Got it!" she shouted, thrusting her arms forward to send out a stronger blast of lightning over towards the Ohm that were flying into the energy walls, frying them alive.

Now.

Lightning crackled as Negi unleashed the spell on the battlefield, mixing with the others attacks. A raw anti-army spell blazed forth, scarring the landscape and destroying many Ohm in the process.

Sasami wasn't going to miss out on this. With the added mobility granted by discarding her skirting, she quickly joined the three, adding her Thundara spell to the mix.

It was probably gonna be a big explosion with all of this...

Even with lightning exploding all over the place, Aqua wasn't done yet. She pointed her Keyblade at a few Grunts and ordered, "Freeze!" summoning spires of ice from below to spear right through them. Sticking to ice spells for the time being, she hurled her Keyblade at a Grenadier, freezing it before she caught her blade again.

Ice magic surrounded her as she reached her Diamond Dust form, and she raced toward the Grenadier, slashing at it with freezing blows. She released a blast of ice crystals around her, destroying it and injuring several surrounding Ohm.

Well, damn. Aqua was pretty amazing, wasn't she?

Not that Will could really afford to standby and just watch Aqua, so there she was, blasting a few more of the Ohm with another blast of lightning.

Negi had to whistle at that. Hot damn.

Floating down, he grinned. "That put a lot of dents in it."

Cracking his knuckles, Negi began to wind up into another lightning spell, striking down a couple that Aqua missed.

Deep down, Sasami was depressed. Negi, Will and Aqua were holding their own fairly well. And while she was still striking down others, she was way out of her league. Part of her wanted to fall back, give Aqua and the others a chance to not worry about her, but what about the others? What would they say if she fell back because she thought was useless?

Thus, she kept fighting, going easy on her magic for the time being, trying to figure out what to do...

Seeing the lightning rain down on the Ohm, Aqua called out, "Thanks, Negi. Will, Sasami, keep it up!"

A Triple Blizzaga later, and she was in Blade Charge form. Light extended from her Keyblade, acting as an extremely long sword, which she used to relentlessly slash into the surrounding Grunts.

"Just how much magic do you know!?" Will shouted, sending the biggest burst of lightning from her arms that she had done the whole battle, zapping some of the Ohm that were surrounding Aqua. If only there were some appliances or cheap robot things or something near them that she could bring to life or something.

"Obviously a lot!" laughed Negi, zipping from opponent to opponent, crashing through them in a burst of electrical power before screeching to a halt. Several exploded into electrical death and he grinned. "Just keep at it!"

Unbeknown to the group, a set of Grenaders were set up nearby and had taken sight of the quartet. With one quick motion, the creatures fired their payload, acid spiraling towards them.

Sasami let out a gasp as she saw the bombs come close. There was no way to escape, no way to warn the others. All she could do was clench up and let out a blood-curing scream in terror.

That was probably all it needed as, moments later, Sasami's twin triangle markings lit up and the four suddenly found themselves surrounded in a barrier, the acid bombs exploding harmlessly over them and spilling to the sides.

"I... I..." she stammered, shocked that she did that. Did she truly have that power...?

[identity profile] rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua stopped in shock at the sight of the barrier, and she turned to look at Sasami. Was that what Tsunami had given her?

"Sasami?" she murmured.

But she lost concentration on the battle, and an Ohm hit her from behind.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"AQUA-NEESAN!" Sasami shouted, watching an Ohm strike her from behind. That thing hurt her sister. "GET AWAY FROM HER!"

A furious rage built inside her as she charged at the Ohm, her hands glowing with energy as she swung her staff at the creature. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Out of instinct, she held her hand out and let loose that burst of energy, the first time since her battle with KAIN.

"Aqua-neesan, get up and go!" she called out, reaching down to grab her hands to help her up.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Will... couldn't help but stare. Both at Sasami's barrier, and then her ridiculously strong blast of magic. "Wow. Just how strong is that girl anyway?" she wondered out loud as she dodged the swipe of a nearby grunt and took up into the sky. "How is she!?" she shouted, as she blasted that one with lightning.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Attend to her, I'll deal with these!" exclaimed Negi, flashing into view and pushing the attackers back with a crackle of thunder.

[identity profile] rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua took Sasami's hand and got to her feet, running to a quieter spot so she could cast Curaga.

"Heal."

The flowering green light took care of the injuries and pain, but it left behind a slight fatigue from the magical drain.

"Thanks," she said. "I'm okay."

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Sasami's worried look turned to one of relief as Aqua recovered from her attack. Had she been any slower, then...

"I'm glad..." she said, hugging her sister slightly before pulling away. She turned to face Will and shouted out. "She's okay!"

Her twin markings glowed again as the energy returned to her once more. "I won't let them hurt you or anyone else... I promise."

She punctured that as she turned and swung her staff once more, energy tearing through the beasts.

"We'll look after you..."
We'll look after you...

Yes, there was two distinctive voices there.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Will let out a small smile before she turned her attention back to the Ohm as she landed next to Sasami and Aqua, throwing off another quintessence blast to try to keep some more of the Ohm away.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Punch, crack, slice. They kept coming but Negi was used to this by now. He slammed twin thunder axes down, incinerating a pair of grunts. Holding the line like a good little tank.

[identity profile] rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
"And I won't let you down either," Aqua promised quietly.

As more Ohm charged, she rushed in with a Barrier Surge--her barrier protecting her and slamming into the enemy. She followed it up with another Wishing Edge, keeping to the easier attacks while building her strength again.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
With Aqua charging forth, Sasami returned to the battle as well, keeping back the Ohm with her staff before striking them down with bolts of energy.

She had to think fast, though - there was no way she could keep this up for too long.
