It's The Final Countdown

[cityship]

This was it. Endgame. The crux of the battle, the turning point, those crucial moments that would decide if the crew won or lost, that would decide if the Ohm would reign victorious or go running with their chitinous tails between their legs.

Did the crew have enough grit to win? Could they defeat a full Ohm fighting force?

With the flagging confidence of the GIA forces, it'd be up to the crew to turn the tide.

And one of the crew would pay the ultimate price to make sure the others walked away alive.

[ooc: everything is up!]

Got it, Philip, Shoutarou answered, folding the Xtreme memory, then opening it again. The gold X flashed in front of Double's belt - XTREME! MAXIMUM DRIVE! With a forward flip, Double aims itself at the waist of the general, feet first. Jerking one arm, Double begins to spin, in addition to the high speed. There's a rainbow aura that forms as they head forward, though there's a dominance of purple thanks to Lash.

As they close in, there's no name called for the attack, just a yell of determination.

An unconventional plan, but then, how often could a plan be considered conventional. If she wished to risk her own vehicle to better defeat the General so be it, even as he waited for that moment he lined his sights expertly on the noted fuel supply. A single well placed shot should be enough to ignite it.

His sharp eye took in every aspect of the situation, with the aid of his spy mask and the advanced scope of the Exitus Rifle he saw every movement of the ones in combat with the General as well as the General's own. Knowing his time would soon come to make that shot he stilled his breath and took aim, compensating for the factors of distance and weather, his rifle easily compensating for the perfect firing condition.

The moment they all struck he knew it was time to strike, not hesitating a millisecond too long he fired. The silent cough of his rifle belying its power as the large caliber armour piercing round was threaded expertly through the intervening distance, impacting and piercing through the fuel container on Lash's tank at the optimal point. A few milliseconds later the ignition of the fuel within caught up as the fuel supply detonated.

Not a moment later as he watched on, he saw the tanks hatch opening, whether forced out or climbing out he could not tell as Lash was forced from the tank. Not a moment too soon though as the Tank itself began to take light from the ignition of its fuel source.

Hope you like bug guts, Rangers and Riders, because the combined force of all the attacks makes the general explode. Chunks of charred buggy guts and chitin rain down all over everyone and everything.

Like a domino effect, Lash was projected from her tank by the force of the button she had pressed, the blast from Jalith's precise shot and the Ohm exploding. She's probably carrying that beast' death sound like a badge of honor...later anyway if she...

Oh right. She was suddenly very light headed and realized she was spinning in the air. Was she still in her outfit? Couldn't tell. Pretty blurry. Pretty red. Oops she was bleeding. Tee hee hee! Well oops, she hadn't quite kept her promise. But why did she care? She was Black Hole anyway?

And that had been an awesome explosion. Yeap. Perfectly a good time for her to close her eyes. Kinda hurt in her chest too. It was like if everything around her was slowing down.

Damn, that was a lot of blood. Tsk! How annoying.

Gravity claimed her a second later, and she began to fall to the ground.

When the Neoneotank exploded, Hoshi backed away so that she wouldn't be hit by it. Although, she zig-zagged through the debris, becoming yet again a blur of nothing but orange in the air. Thanks to her speed, though, she was able to catch Lash in time and fly with her to safety - which was over to Ren and the others.

However, one of the pieces of the tank hit her dead on in the wrist, causing her to let out a gasp and a pained cry. She made her landing next to the Revolgarry and used her own body heat to keep Lash warm.

Damn, her wrist was painful right about now and the cold was not welcomed, either. In fact, she looked like she might pass out at any moment from all the power she used in this fight alone.

"Damn it," Ren breathed as Hoshi came over with Lash. He'd been far enough away that he'd been protected from most of the explosion, but he'd seen what had happened to them.

Letting his transformation shatter, he removed his jacket carefully and gave it to Hoshi. The cold bit into him, but he wasn't in as much immediate danger as they were.

"Wrap that around the both of you," he warned. "It'll help until we get back to the ship."

"Th-Thanks, Ren," Hoshi said, moving her good hand to place the jacket around both Lash and herself.

She tried to keep herself awake with various thoughts as well as moving her fingers however she could. Right - she could try to keep Lash warm until they got to the med bay and she could sleep on the ship.

"We're gonna be o-okay, Lash. We'll get y-you to safety, d-don't worry."

[thewunderkind]

"Of course we will," the other girl replied back, spitting out a bit of blood in one last, final defiance to everything around her. "Black Hole Commanding Officers....we...die hard--." Right about when unconsciousness decided to claim her, this time for good.

"...Hey. H-Hey, Lash. N-No time for sleeping, got it?" she said, shaking her a little bit to try to stir her awake again.

Everyone! It's time to leave and make sure we get the hell out of here alive. We gotta try to get back to the ship for Lash's sake, okay? Someone's gotta carry Ren and myself since Ren's leg is injured and my wrist isn't doing so hot.

...And her bike, too. It was a sweet ride.
