Lirath - Ship Survival

[cityship]

 As the battle raged outside, those remaining aboard Stacy had their hands full preparing for the incoming flood of refugees.

Positioned near the Bleed-Gate orbiting Lirath, Stacy stood ready to receive the refugees. Ship after ship ascended as quickly as they could, some of them making a break for the Bleed-Gate itself while the smaller ships were forced to dock at Stacy, unloading their cargo of refugees before setting off again for the planet's surface again to take on more passengers.

Several small units of GIA soldiers were also sent up to help the Transmigration crew take in the massive amount of refugees, many of whom were tired, wounded, and scared. It wouldn't take long for the ship to begin filling with people.

With the battle raging outside, and the Ohm clambering outside, trying to get in, it would be a tall order to keep all of the refugees safe and calm, but the crew didn't have much choice.

"CHARGE!" nine voices bellowed in unison. Racing into the fray came Zetta's leader-minion, sword upheld, another warrior type with an axe already swishing through the air, and a merchant-minion holding a pair of nunchuku. The distinctive whir of a minigun's rotary motor powering up whined out over the battlefield, along with the cock of a rifle and the distinct shoonk sound of a bazooka round chambering, as a few other well-armed grunts formed a line with a pair of distinctive magic-user, one holding a book, one holding a staff.

Behind them all, their book-master floated midair, laughing. "Try to take our ship, will you!? Well I've got news for you, Ohm! This is MY ship! GET THE HELL OFF IT before I Overlord your faces clear into Z.H.P.!"

The minions were a surprise, but not an unwelcome one as they began to aid Nanaki in attacking the Ohm that threatened to wreak havoc. And he didn't know what Z.H.P. stood for, but now wasn't really the time to wonder about it or ask, just fight and protect the rest.

"They're all over the hangar," he warned. How the hell did such a number even manage to get in with that small gap of time the hole had been ripped open? Another few bolts of lightning came down at his command.

Nanaki's lightning attack managed to knock a leg off of one of the Grunts, but aside from that it didn't do much. So long as the other legs were there to move it toward its targets, it would keep moving. It was the minions with the guns that were more of an annoyance than the ones equipped with the swords and axes (though when they got close enough, they were just as annoying, too). So they were ones attacked first.

One of the Shrikes that managed to get inside swooped down, aiming for the minions with the guns. It sent a number of psychic lances down, trying to separate the group of them.

...oh, dammit. Allenby was confident in her skills, but when she spotted the Shrike? That was something else. She knew she couldn't just punch and kick the thing's joints out like she could with the Grunts and Grenadiers.

She looked around frantically and spotted a Zaku that had been in the middle of maintenance, with an open cockpit and one arm attached. A suit was a suit! Allenby jumped up and slammed herself into the pilot's seat, trying frantically to remember her basic-suit training from way back when.

No gun. No problem. "Watch out below--OVER HERE, UGLY!" she screamed (oh hey, the speakers were on!) as she stepped forward onto some Grunts and swung the one arm wildly, like a drunk person trying to swat an insect.

"Hey, Allenby," Zetta said casually, as the scientist and one of the mages launched off a combo attack -- ice to slow the Shrike, then a bazooka shell to the gut. The rest of the minions scrambled obligingly; Zetta didn't think their loss of positioning was any major hit.

Those grunts were about to discover that demons, whose techniques were manifestations of mana power more than anything, could use melee weapons just as effectively as guns. The leader-minion lifted her blade, then blurred forward in a straight line that drew the sword through several Ohm, lightning-quick and razor-sharp. The axe minion spun around in a circle several times, building up speed and power, before slamming his weapon into another Grunt.

The merchants was just going crazy smacking the crap out of another Grunt, which was just weird.

"Uh, hey, you need a better something to drive than that thing?"

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

Wow, Zetta's minions were having way too much fun down there. Allenby lifted the Zaku's foot and brought it down on another few Grunts that were clustering around the suit.

"If it's more interestin' than this thing, sure!" she called back, creating another huge batch of Ohm puree with another step. She wasn't about to go stomping around the entire Hangar in this thing--easy as it was, there was too much chance that she'd squash one of the crew by mistake. The Zaku was an unwieldy pile of ugly design, as far as this Gundam pilot was concerned.

CRASH! A warehouse dropped to the ground in the middle of the hangar, Invited by Zetta.

"Help yourself to any of them in there," he said. It was perhaps a measure of his cheerful liking for Allenby that he'd even allow her anywhere near his precious mecha.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

...oh.

AWESOME.

"Zetta, you are the BEST!" said Allenby, swiftly powering down the Zaku and leaping down onto the warehouse roof. A second jump landed her on a Grunt's back, and she took care to stomp on its head as she dashed into the warehouse.

Ah, the agony of choice--after a few seconds of deliberation, Allenby selected a Flying Dog (http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Dog) and flew out the door. "This oughta make things easier!"

She had been working on it for the past two weeks, but Lash never was one to back away from challenges. Besides, it kept her mind busy for what was to come. As most of other Rangers had gone down to the planet, she had stayed behind to finish the final touches on the robots and to keep watch on them. Time was of the essence...which is why this haul breach was nothing but bad news for her. Now her friends down there could get hu--err not that she had any friends hahaha and this was not totally about being a bit longer with Zetta either. This all had to do with the fact she was now part of command. Yeap.

The neotank had been modified, forgoing a lot of the old model with all the knowledge Lash had been learning in her stay on the ship, along with her own imagination. A perfect product could become better, clearly, especially if it involved herself!

The four mechanical legs moved like spiders, as she swiftly pushed it to the left, sliding alongside the floor, using the new bladed legs to cut away at the pesky bugs that were getting in her way (but making sure not to get any of Stacy's tentacles). And while it was rather dangerous (but hell what did Lash do that wasn't dangerous) she had the top latch open, her head poking out, goggles over her eyes as she used portable control to move the neotank with her own hand movements. Lash wasn't going to use her main canon just yet; considering it had one powerful shot before recharging, and there was so much vehicles in here the wunderkind didn't want damaged (for clearly scientific purposes!)

The contraption moved close to Allenby, as the wunderkind recognized the vehicle from the ones Zetta had shown her, before coming to a stop.

"Now this is what I call some real action!" she said as a way of greeting to everyone, not wasting a moment by taking out her gun to shoot at another enemy. "We're gonna have to find a way to get those latches open again - either by killing all the bugs or some way, don't ask me what, but I need all of the ranger vehicles out of there asap." Lash wasn't sure how it worked, but she knew once they'd be able to leave, the transforming robots would know where to go to help out the rest of the rangers.
