(Some of the group, alongside the S.S. have set out a mission to prevent an [b]Aeliaus[/b] squadron from establishing a foothold on a dock in west [b]Sakrisen[/b]. Just at the gates of this dock, there are convoys of [b]Aeliaus[/b], this type, however, don the colors of light red, white, and orange. Their vehicles drive in, foot soldiers filling the seats. Some high-ranked soldiers have dockworkers subdued against the walls.) *The team arrive by S.S. aircraft as some land on the floating platforms. Unknown to all participants of this mission, inside a building on the other side of the entrance to the docks, [b]Clockshot[/b] watches on from the balcony.* [b]Clockshot:[/b] Haven't seen an S.S. operation live since I've taken out one of their members. *sigh* Didn't want to, but he came at me first. (At the docks) *From the airship on one of the platforms, the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, Van, [b]Kaburo[/b] the General, and the Delta Trio emerge.* [b]Vandren:[/b] Just a simple "take out all the threats and destroy an essential object" mission, right? [b]Tony:[/b] Correct, Tommy. [b]Vandren:[/b] *suspicious side-eye towards Tony* I don't remember telling you my first name. [b]Tony:[/b] Cats and Kavi talk about you a lot. *chuckles* [b]Yaoni:[/b] It's like 40 of them down there. There has to be a lieutenant somewhere, keeping whatever process afloat. [b]Cathera:[/b] *pointing to a standout [b]Aeliaus[/b] soldier* Look no further than the one with the ridiculously long yellow scarf/cape/cowl. *Cat points to a male lieutenant [b]Aeliaus[/b]. Thinner than the standard ones, but taller. Clad in dark red, white, and brown, sleek armor, wearing a yellow cowl nearly reaching his feet, and also wearing a gas mask, revealing the scaly white skin designated to a specific [b]Aeliaus[/b] type. The lieutenant also carries a long hammer, glowing orange at the edges.* [b]Kaburo:[/b] A different kind of armored space lizard. Must've taken less cosmic steroids. [b]Vandren:[/b] *snickers* "Roided-Up Cosmic Space Lizards". How original is that? [b]Ashe:[/b] *readying her assault rifle* About as original as putting a cosmic space lizard into the ground. Come on, get into position. *tapping into her earpiece* [b]Mizuri[/b], weaken that beacon. [b]Mizuri:[/b] *from [b]Ashe[/b]'s earpiece* Got it. *Still cloaked, [b]Mizuri[/b]'s drone fires plasma missiles onto the huge beacon, damaging and causing its light to flicker, alerting the soldiers within the area. [b]Sakiro[/b] is materialized in a purple energy blur, looking down at panicky soldiers from a shipping crate. She turns to see 1 soldier also on top of a crate but is looking up at incoming calvary, so she swiftly slashes this soldier apart before teleporting up to the incoming ship, slashing it in pieces, along with any [b]Aeliaus[/b] inside.* [b]Kavita:[/b] *witnessing [b]Sakiro[/b]'s performance* I can admit that [b]Sakiro[/b] makes better entrances than me. *raspy exhale* ______________ [b][i]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/i][/b] ______________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *The General and the Delta Trio unleash their firepower onto the [b]Aeliaus[/b] as the others close in on the area. The 3 other Gamma Quartet members emerge from a warehouse, firing at the [b]Aeliaus[/b] as well. Harv slides under a soldier, spraying the next one in front with his SMG, evades melee attacks from a soldier to his right before countering with a jumping punch to the face, a jumping kick, then leaps up one more time to plunge a knife into it's head. Harv focuses back on the soldier he was shooting his SMG at and throws a frag at them, shooting it right as it gets close up on the soldier, causing the frag grenade to explode instantly, claiming 2 [b]Aeliaus[/b] soldiers.* [b]Kaburo:[/b] We going in, sis! [b]Kavita:[/b] Can I go first?! [b]Kaburo:[/b] Catch up now! *As Kab is in the midst of landing onto the battle zone, he says [i]"Bleeding Fang Glow"[/i] as his signature blade is summoned. It follows a similar, sleek theme like his sister's, only his is longer, with a thicker guard, and the hilt has a trigger inside, which pressing on it intensifies the amount of energy used.* *Kab throws explosive kunai at several soldiers aiming at him, successfully hitting the targets, critically wounding them. Kab peeks at a wounded soldier struggling to stand up, finishing them off by impaling their chest with his blade. Kav swoops in and uses her Razor Edge Glow to finish off the other wounded soldiers tagged by Kab.* *Cat throws a soldier into a crate using her telekinesis, doing it repeatedly until they fall limp. Just as she's about to end the soldier, she's suddenly surrounded by multiple [b]Aeliaus[/b], so she reacts by leaping into the air and firing a widespread telekinetic blast, killing the soldiers that were closest in range while injuring the ones further away. Cat turns towards the beacon, activating a more complex ability involving her telekinesis; using it to disrupt the flow of the beacon's conduit, which also causes major damage. Unfortunately, the lieutenant takes notice and strikes at Cat with his hammer, but she jumps back in the knick of time.* (A single S.S. ship, piloted by a random member, hovers altitudes over the action, revealing Kyo, Alexa, and Anna, acting as spectators.) [b]Alexa:[/b] We're providing some pretty great support. Wouldn't you think? [b]Anna:[/b] *hesitant* Yeeahhh.... [b]Kyokia:[/b] Light work as expected. Go, team. *A soldier is blasted dead, collapsing by a buggy courtesy of [b]Samina[/b]. A crate comes flying right towards her direction, where the other 2 Gamma Quartet members are, but [b]Zedrin[/b] jumps in the way, tanking the hit from the crate for [b]Samina[/b], pushing him back several feet, heavily denting the crate in the process. The 3 GQ members look around for the one responsible, seeing the lieutenant, slowly walking towards them.* [b]Harvoride:[/b] That's the main one? [b]Samina:[/b] Looks like it. It's the only one that looks extremely different. *The [b]annihilator[/b] twins are flawlessly tearing through a few [b]Aeliaus[/b], not having to transform into any [b]Enygma[/b] form. Sage then swings her greatsword to her left, luckily missing Van, who was evading an attack from a soldier, causing Sage to slash that same soldier, ultimately killing them. As Van rolls back up, he's makes a confused expression, surprised that the soldier appeared to have suddenly drop dead, turning around to see that how it happened, seeing Sage that was responsible.* *Around 6 elite soldiers, all dual-wielding axes, are simultaneously swinging at [b]Sakiro[/b], who is swiftly evading all these seemingly rapid attacks. She leaps up before teleporting, leaving the melee elites looking around for her. Just 4 seconds later, 7 clones of the elite soldiers reappear, bombarding the real ones with axe attacks until they're all wounded. 6 of the clones vanish as 6 purple energy orbs fly into the body of one more, causing that clone to teleport, reappearing as [b]Sakiro[/b], who has activated her Deceptive Rush ability. She then finishes off the elites with a fluid slash attack. *[b]Aeliaus[/b] numbers are dwindling, but not for long as reinforcements arrive in the set of 3 buggies. The lieutenant is still attacking the 3 GQ members, performing an upward swing as an orange energy trail follows, the 3 jumping out of the way before the energy trail cuts a crate in half. [b]Samina[/b] shoots at the lieutenant with her pistol, doing a rather miniscule amount of damage, mildly angering the lieutenant as he jumps up and brings in a downward bash, causing [b]Samina[/b] to jump away to avoid it, only for her to be hit by the shockwave, sending her flying. As she's about to fall into the canal, a low whirring is heard, getting louder, revealing [b]Mizuri[/b]'s drone saving [b]Samina[/b], who is hanging onto a handlebar.* *The lieutenant switches targets, turning to Cat, who is nearly done destroying the beacon. As she summons a bow, charging up a long, green energy arrow, she briefly senses the lieutenant's energy, more so coming from an incoming hammer attack that she evades, shooting the arrow at the lieutenant instead, piercing through its chest and releasing a decently wide explosion that sends many crates and [b]Aeliaus[/b] vehicles into the canal. As the lieutenant is stunned, the [b]annihilator[/b] twins swoop in and throw in a single powerful strike, each from their melee weapons, wounding the lieutenant further.* [b]Tony:[/b] *seeing how easy the [b]Aeliaus[/b] are being handled* Yep. This definitely an everyday basis. These [b]Aeliaus[/b] are nothing to them. *The squads from the 3 buggies emerge, getting into formation as they're about to attack. [b]Clockshot[/b], who was watching the whole scene, seems to have an idea.* [b]Clockshot:[/b] Just a step in my redemption. *He takes out his upgraded sniper rifle, aims slowly, and then fires a single shot. The bullet pierces through all 3 buggies before it starts to travel across the docks. The bullet then suddenly stops midair over the canal. Clock then says: [i]"Smart Bullet"[/i], as the bullet's trajectory changes, turning back and lining itself up at the beacon, hitting it, then curving and piercing the engines of the 3 buggies, causing 3 extra explosions.* _______________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] (Only the lieutenant is still alive. The team and the S.S. carefully approach him.) [b]General:[/b] Alright team, mission is-Oh, not yet. *As the General loads his shotgun, another aircraft is landing, revealing to be the SIU. [b]Arko[/b] steps out, followed by several SIU agents.* [b]Tony:[/b] SIU, what are y'all doing here? [b]Arko:[/b] General [b]Vargis[/b]. Excellent work. [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
