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 wide swipe of his psiblade, he beheaded the addled and the remaining assassin bug, deactivating his hallucination and retracting his psiblades, settling down to check on his equipment and looking for a new target to take hold.

"No kiddin' man, you'd swear that being bugs they'd be more enticed to any type of food, but nooooo they had to go an' make a fuss outta it. But whatever, I think they had to leave early." he mused as he activated the glattling sniper once more, targeting another grouped up pack of firebugs ready for the picking.

"You'd swear they realize safety in numbers doesn' always work how ya want it yeah?" a grin spreading on his face as he let the next powered up shot rip, roaring through the skies as it lands, running it's beam right through another pair of firebugs that topple over and crush a few of the smaller grunts that ran below them.

"WhoooO! Another nice hit, thank you thank you~" He cheered before setting the gun to cool down once more before picking up the comm.

"How ya holdin' up there bro? The skies as active as the moving ground?"

"Well, you won't hear me complaining about being bored." He gave the remaining Shrikes a solid volley with the beam cannons, then switched back to fighter mode, leaving their fragments trailing down in the sky behind him. "You have this area? Think I'm going to make life difficult for some of those tanks over there."

"Don' you worry 'bout me none. I got this. Jus' promise me you won't do anything I wouldn't do." Which truth be told was... like telling him to do everything he wanted.

"Oh, I'll come back alive." With that, Zouichi gave the fighter a burst of speed, cutting swiftly through the sky to his next target.
