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.

Einhart wasn't in a good position to defend against that attack, and soon found herself tackled to the ground. She moved her legs, trying to knee him again as she moved her hands to grab at his shoulders so she could eventually flip him off of her.

She was able to ignore the explosion for the most part, not even seeing any pieces of shrapnel flying over her.

"NO!"

Vivio barely had enough time to bring up another barrier in an attempt to protect Lupin, Devlin and the evacuees. However, she wasn't escaping completely unscathed as a piece of shrapnel found itself tearing across her right arm, causing her to cry out in pain.

Lupin fired off a Conjunctivitis Curse at the cultist who still persisted in attacking Einhart -- which means he failed to notice the cultist detonating himself until it was too late. He turned, throwing up a sleeve of his robe reflexively, as if it would provide some protection. Instead he found himself saved by Vivio's quick action.

Amazing, the bravery of youth.

He rushed to her side. "Quickly, let me see that injury."

Devlin was running on pure adrenaline--he knew he wouldn't be able to keep up his pace if he tried to use his Osmosian powers on top of his alien form. So as Vivio began throwing a barrier over them, he began a crystal wall in front of the evacuees.

"Vivio! You okay?" he called out when he heard her cry.

"I'm... I'm fine." Vivio gasped, clutching her arm. It's easy to see the blood oozing from the wound. When Lupin asked to see it, she reluctantly pulled away, trying not to flinch.

Einhart let out a sigh of relief, moving over towards the rest of them as she kept her eyes on the cultist... until she heard about Vivio's injury. "Vivio!" she shouted, turning around to face her. "Let him see it!"
