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.

"Probably part of the job description, anyway," he agreed, eyes turning back outward as well, to watch the crowd. No disturbances yet. And they were far enough away from the majority of the battle that they were safe for the time being.

He paused, quiet for a moment before he answered, "Outside of simulations? No. But I've been training to keep myself as prepared as possible." A beat, before he added, feeling he knew what might help a bit, "Considering I imagine your experience is just as good as the Beastboy I knew, I don't think you have much to worry about. We can't underestimate them, of course, but we'll be able to handle ourselves."

"Well they aren't the first monsters I've had to throwdown with." Beastboy confessed but smiled nervously, "I just don't have a giant frog form you know? That would make things alot faster."

"If only," Tim joked, returning the smile, though it was small. But he did trust in Beastboy and his abilities, regardless of universe. Even if Tim wasn't one who trusted easily. "But I'm willing to bet you have something that can help. Size and toughness is a good start."

"Ah you know, I'm sure I can suss out something. I'm the one man animal kingdom after all." He winked cheerfully "I've taken down the Brotherhood of Evil, Trigon, alien armies, how hard can some bugs be?"

"Naturally," Tim smiled faintly, and nodded. "Alien armies are kind of a Titans thing. This can't be so much worse." He wasn't sure about that, of course-- but he was willing to put confidence in them holding their own, at least. And they had a lot more people on their side than just the Titans normally did.
