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.

The Assassins did leap back from Kaya's attack, but now knowing an obstruction was entirely possible, they'd just try to leap at her within the last few feet, limbs long and strong enough to spring them at her. Some fell to the ground, struck where she'd aim to shoot them, but more were making their way through the rubble. And quick on their legs, some of them spotted Cargn taking care of the worm, choosing to go after him as he focused.

The Tank fought against Clark's strength, pushing back against him even as his heat-vision seared it. But it didn't give in that easily, pushing its weight as hard as it could.

Kaya had to think fast: they were already coming at them pretty quickly, and they were making their way toward her too. At this moment she was forgetting that she was hindered by lack of water on this moon, or the fact that there wasn't even time to see if she could blood bend. She DID at least have her water satchel, and so long as she had water there, she would use t to her advantage.

She used the water whip like a flail again, only this time she solidified the water upon impact, making it more like a stream of ice, and aiming now at vulnerable parts of them. Speed drove her to gather what water broke back to her hands again, and reuse the whip again and again, beating her attackers back. When there was enough distance she brought out the plasma rifle and shot at them again, trying to drive them farther away from the others.

The bombadiers would find their moving target was moving a little too fast for them to catch. Several small adjustments with the foot pedal of Toothless's rig allowed for several hairpin turns that allowed the pair to dodge the blasts and then they were gone, streaking away to strike somewhere else on the battlefield.
