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.

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...?

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.

"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.

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.

"Attend to her, I'll deal with these!" exclaimed Negi, flashing into view and pushing the attackers back with a crackle of thunder.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
God, these things were everywhere, weren't they?

Well, they were definitely going to need to think of something fast, otherwise they were going to be worn down and overwhelmed by these superior numbers. But what could they do, what real weaknesses did the Ohm actually have?

"We're getting pushed back. We need to push them forward again," said Negi, decapitating a Grunt. "Any ideas?"

"Got one, Aniki!" exclaimed Chamo. "There's a big mass coming up towards us. Maybe its time for that last move?"

"... I haven't perfected it yet!"

"Never too late to unleash hell! What's wrong, scared to ride with the devil?" grinned Chamo.

Negi facepalmed. And fell backwards to the group. "Everyone, cast your strongest spells on me, and direct attacks outwards in a cone. We'll finish this part of the army in one blow. I call it Rider Kick - Decade Tribute."

Aqua had set mine spells ahead of her to stop the Ohm from advancing while she slammed down on them from above with Magic Hour. Now, hearing Negi's request, she landed.

"Got it," she said, sending over a Raging Storm (http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Raging_Storm) spell. While she was at it, she cleared a little room for them with a devastating Mega Flare.

Sasami heard Negi's request, but she was at a lost as to what to deliver. For a moment she realized what her problem was - she was thinking about what she would do. She turned her attention towards someone else - Ryoko.

Without a second though, she went a little too far into recklessville as she stabbed her staff into the ground, then brought her hands together, the energy swirling through it forming into a crude energy blade. A crude, LARGE, energy blade.

With a yell, she ran up and brought the energy blade down, the shockwave from the strike dispersing a group of Ohm as well as those destroyed by the blade.

It didn't help matters that Sasami temporarily dropped to her knees in exhaustion. That... was REALLY stupid.

... Okay, Will wasn't sure how exactly that was going to work. Since well, attacking him wasn't really good, but she was out of ideas, so she just sent her lightning over towards him, focusing on making sure it was deadly and not killing Negi.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
And just like that, Negi was standing in FRONT of the attacks as he held out his hands into the triple attacks. There was a crackling smell and Negi grit his teeth as he proclaimed, "ABSORB!"

The attacks engulfed him in a firestorm of flames, electrical and energy as he roared loudly, thrusting his hand into the air as glyphs began to dance around the battlefield, herding Ohm into the middle of them.

RASTEL RASKIL MAGISTER! Novem astrum in divum , repono told quod sung , EGO dico super thee. Iacio mihi thy vox , permissum totus precor ut unus , permissum veho flow per vox intus mihi , quod addo justicia ut terra!

Nine stars in the sky, stories told and sung, I call upon thee. Cast me thy power, let all invoke as one, let the ride flow through the power within me, and bring justice to the land!

Blazing white-hot, Negi shot into the air as a huge line of glyphs appeared between him and the advancing army. Praying he aimed true, he yelled, "RIDER KICK - DECADE TRIBUTE!!!!!!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N87Sefp3VX8)

Blazing forward in a side kick through the enormous circles of magic, he passed through them, forcing the magical energy down as he blazed towards the army.

And then, there was silence, as Negi intoned, "Emmitam Pres."

He impacted. Magic gathered, and exploded, incinerating the advancing foes and shockwaving to engulf the rest of the ohm in the area in flames.
