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.

Thankfully for the girls, there was a medical tent not too far away from their current location. Not-so-thankfully, however, they weren't going to get there without a fight, even if the injuries sustained so far were bad ones on their end. Many Ohm were downed in the battle as well, bodies lined along the ground where they battled, but their numbers were great and their speed fast. Their defense helped, though, as some Bombardiers acid attacks deflected where they may very well have hit. But they didn't stop, because perhaps there were ways to lower the defense, push it to the limit and break it.

Sayaka kept flying, trying to will her magic to making her fly a bit faster. It wasn't something she was sure that she could actually do, but right now she needed to get away and get to that tent. She couldn't fight or attack the Ohm. Now with that acid still melting away at her skin, even if she couldn't even feel it anymore.

Signum growls. She's had enough. Deciding that Cartridges are far less valuable than her own skin and this girl's health, she mentally orders Laevatein to expend another one, the flames on the blade rising higher.

"Out of the way! Laevatein, karyu ISSEN!" she shouts, thrashing her whip-sword around in a spiral that surrounds her and the other girls with an empowered wall of flame, frying a way through the enemy air force. It is far more energy than the conservative knight normally put into an attack against mere small-fry, but she absolutely has to carve a path to that med-tent.
