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.

Negi grinned at that as he landed. "You need to ask? Here comes some power!"

In an instant and a silent incantation, Sasami would feel a huge amount of power flowing to her, as with everyone else who had a pactio thus far with him. He was essentially supercharging everyone within the range, and amplfying his magic.

"Freeze!"

Cold air gathered tight around Aqua as she used Glacier. She spun around, releasing a freezing blast all around her to hit the Tank, followed by a second blast.

Will grinned as she saw everything that was going on, her mech moving to use it's large rifle to start blasting the Tank right in the face.

And then she fell forward, only barely managing to use her legs and hands to keep herself from falling right onto her face. "Okay... maybe that took a lot more out of me than it first felt like."

Sasami started to feel more recovered as Negi began "recharging" her. As the Tank before them staggered to Aqua's attack, Sasami turned to face the beast. "Alright, let's see what we can--"

Before she could say anything else, she was cut off by the sounds of rumbling. At that moment, two more tanks were marching up to join its wounded companion. They... weren't happy about what they saw.

"--do?"

"Bugger."

Negi reacted automatically as he unleashed hell, loosing the two Thousand Bolts in their direction.

"YEAH COME GET SOME!" egged on Chamo atop Barry.

"There's no end to these things," Aqua growled.

She pointed her Keyblade toward Will and cried, "Heal!" casting Curaga. "I don't know how much that'll help, but we've got to keep going."

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Will smiled, feeling the healing waves of magic wash over her body as she made it to her feet. "Thanks!" she managed to shout out... before she noticed the two other tanks. "Oh come on!"

The mech fired off another shot at the tank it had been attacking this whole time, before turning it's attention to another of the tanks and started shooting at it.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
The Tanks took notice of the mech that had fired at them and decided to focus their attention on it, intending on shrugging off its attacks and charging right through it, intending on squashing the four underneath their feet.

They would have, if it wasn't for a cat-like howl signaling a barrage of energy blasts, striking the Tanks and trying not to hit the mech.

"That... that howl..." Sasami uttered, gasping as she looked to the sky. "It's... IT's RYO-OHKI! (http://images.wikia.com/tenchi/images/f/fa/Ryo_ohki_ship.jpg)"

Having broken free of Stacy and making its way to the surface, the cabbit-turned spaceship hovered overhead, ready to do what's needed.

"Oh that is a good sight to see," admitted Negi, charging up another spell and hurling a standard Titan Slayer to skewer the tank through that had taken the most damage, hoping to finish it off.

Aqua flew her glider over the Tanks, blasting down on them. She was only just able to throw up her barrier before one of them hit her, sending her crashing to the snow.

She picked herself up, tasting blood in her mouth. She was hurt, but not as badly as she could have been, and in any case, she didn't have enough power for another Curaga yet. Her own power was almost exhausted--she'd have to borrow from someone.

"Negi," she pleaded. "I'm going to need some help, if it's okay with you."

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Will's eyes widened when she saw Aqua fall, but right now she couldn't afford to be too worried, especially since she managed to get herself back up. Besides, it's not like Will knew how to use the healing powers of Quintessence anyway.

So she just sent a blast over at the tank that her Mech was still firing at, hoping to help do some more damage.

"AQUA-NEESAN!" Sasami cried out again, watching her sister fall for the second time. It was heart-wrenching to watch one of her sisters get hurt like that. As the wounded Tank finally fell to Negi and Will's assault, the other two attempted to finish the job on Aqua, only to have Ryo-Ohki come down and intercept them, using her massive size to protect her "owner" and her friends.

At the same time, Sasami herself ran to Aqua's side, hoping to help her once more.

Negi nodded, moving back. "Focus on the tanks you two!" he called out. "What'd you need me to do?" he asked quickly.

[identity profile] rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua nodded at Sasami to let her know she was all right before turning back to Negi.

"I need to form a D-Link with you. It'll let me use your powers and vice-versa, the same way Sasami's doing. Right now, I've almost exhausted my powers, and I need time to regain my strength."

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Negi nodded quickly. "Do what you need to do. I'd offer to form a pact with you, but we've got no time for that right now."

He held out his hand for her to do whatever she needed to do.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Will just moved to start blasting another of the tanks with her lightning, while the Mech ran out of bullets and started trying to bash one of them over the head with it like a club.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Annoyed, the Tanks started to thrash, knocking away Ryo-Ohki and attempting to swipe the mech away. With both Negi and Aqua out at the moment, it felt almost hopeless.

Or at least it would be if Sasami didn't act. One of the Tanks came to a halt as it caught the massive energy "blade" she had formed once more.

"I won't let you hurt my family! You hear me?! Not again!" Sasami shouted, giving every last ounce of strength to fight the best and make it not race forward.

[identity profile] rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua formed the D-Link quickly and began to activate it when she heard Sasami engaging the Tank.

"Sasami!" she cried, racing over.

In a flash, her Keyblade changed form (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/Akino_Annwyn/Britt.jpg) to a white-and-blue blade, forged from her bond with Sasami. She held out Lighthawk and formed a barrier around Sasami so the Tank wouldn't harm her.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Negi stepped to the side, forming a lightning blade, hurling it at the Tank that was attacking Sasami, his blade crackling as it was thrust at the tanks head.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Will kept throwing lightning blast after lightning blast at the attacking Ohm, while the Mech was knocked over for the moment, it's large gun, and the arm it was attached to, going flying and thankfully landing far away from the group.

The mech rose back to it's feet, before charging at the tank again, thrusting it's one remaining limb back and then forward into a punch at the tanks head.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sasami looked back as she heard Aqua call her name. If she was surprised by anything, it was the design of the Keyblade in her hands. The hilt resembling that of Tenchiken, the Master Key and the sword Tenchi normally uses; the blade resembling that of the Light Hawk Sword.

"Aqua-neesan... your weapon..." Sasami uttered, faltering just a bit, thought not noticing the beast's head starting to crack from the energy.

The other Tank, however, kept its focus on the mech, ready to tear it apart with its mandibles with Will next.

[identity profile] stormfall-aqua.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
"It's all right," Aqua insisted. "It's the help you've given me."

Accessing Negi's power, she unleashed a barrage of arrows at the Tank.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"And that's my help," replied Negi, unleashing a volley of light spears at the opponents.

[identity profile] kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
And there went another blast of lightning towards the tanks as the mech continued to try punching at the tank. And Will didn't really have much to say, she didn't really know anyone here that well.

[identity profile] saint-sami.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
They will really have to change that, Will. Especially Sasami.

Raising back her "blade", she pulled back enough and let out a yell as she brought it down, slamming it on the Tank's head, finally breaking through and cleaving it in half. As the Tank dropped to the ground, dead, the last Tank caught hold of this and began to charge at the four once more.
