Battlefield Mobius (STH RP)

After taking a few steps forward, Lucia decided to get closer to the light... quite unsure and ready to bolt out of there in case of anything unpleasant.

The light was somewhat warm. It was emanating from a small opening just large enough for Lucia to fit through. It wasn't there before, like it had only been uncovered recently.

Lucia started to squeeze herself through the opening.

The room on the other side was entirely illuminated by a light in the center. Said light seemed to resemble a Mobian from afar...

Lucia covered her eyes with her hand,moving closer. "H-hello?" She said,quite shy.

A closer look revealed that this was everyone's favorite* vixen, Ciel Mackenzie Hale. She was in a fetal position, and was... naked. I don't know.

*Your mileage may vary.

Lucia went a little bit closer before stopping... she doesn't know who this person is... or was. A bit curious, she was wondering why she would be in a place like this.

Ciel didn't seem to know Lucia was here. Not at first, at least. She'd been in stasis for quite some time now.
===
Aaron's trigger finger was getting itchy... the suspense was killing him, to say the least.

Suddenly, it seemed like Lucia teleported to Aaron.

Panting, Lucia tugged at Aaron's shirt and pulled. "There is something you need to see! I don't know what she is but it looks like she's in trouble!"

The attention of the entire sqaudron of gunships turned to the giant in the sky, as with the Mecha Panther. It's mouth closed up, but shortly after that, a blue glow started to flicker from the small gap between the jaw and the upper mouth. Again, it's jaw came wide open, revealing a rail gun that only protruded about a foot out of it's mechanical gullet... whilst the Panther's lasers and missiles focused on the tanks, despite not doing a ton of damage, it's main priority was to take down the flying behemoth. If it wasn't de-powered since going into normal production, it would've easily been a large threat.
Another wave of explosives and EMPs showered over, this time one explosive hitting one of the tanks but not doing a lot of damage... these weren't shells. They were grenades.

"MESSI?" Az yelled out, aware that there was a battle going on, but he needed to be heard over all the gunfire, lasers and explosions.

That large threat was the Air-Carrier itself, under command of Dark Jandroy. The first set of shields were downed while it retaliated with a mass of fighters headed for the gunships. The Carrier was then deploying on the ground.
===
The tanks stopped moving, entrenching down and gaining x4 damage resistance..but inability to fire their main cannons. Drones hid behind them, heavy laser cannons equipped.
---
A drone ran to Az and grabbed his hand, saying sorts of droidese.

"How did you--" Aaron seemed confused. "Lucia, you need to go back to the cave; it's not safe out here. Look, I'll cover you -- just get back to safety and we'll meet back up later."

He turned back toward the battle, making a well-aimed shot toward the droid. "Feel it!"

The droid beside Az went spazzy before it fell to the ground.

"But..." Lucia just goes back to the cave.

Aaron tried to make sure that Lucia got back safely, keeping an eye on the battle at the same time.

Nikita was in a hospital.

(How nice.)

Az looked at the droid on the ground, confused as heck in terms of what it was doing and why it grabbed hold of him. He was snapped back into his state of fear once he heard another building begin to topple over and crash.
"Mess, come on!" Az looked through the nearest bush, but there was nothing. He did the same with another, being quick to recognize her hair. He wasn't going to assume she was dead, dragging her out of the bush and throwing her body over his shoulder. He needed to make a run for it... but where?

The gunships stood little to no chance against the swarm... but, there was a large wave of APCs incoming, accompanied with a few AA tanks and some medium fighters. The APCs this time had a single grenadier on top, which would explain where the explosions and EMPs were coming from. Despite being heavily outnumbered, they were still going to put up a fight. They could be more relaxed now that the remaining tanks at the front had a friendly mobile shield generator appear, covering a smaller radius this time. It allowed the troops in the APCs to get out safely, deploy to their locations and take part in the battle. The Mecha Panther's missiles were rather slow, but salvos of 8 were unleashed against the enemy aircraft every now and then.

Aaron took a deep breath, focusing on a specific string of targets to help clear a path. He first tried shooting down the missiles the second they were launched, hoping it might cause a decent amount of damage.

One of the missiles out of the 3 which were destroyed, caused more damage than had seemed, since it was blown up before fully exiting the missile tube... as a result, it blocked up the tube and caused some damage to the circuitry. But it wasn't anything major.

One of the grenadiers was about to fire an explosive at Doraaz and Messilita, until a shot from one of the buildings splintered it's head and took out another soldier. It certainly didn't fire from where Aaron was.

Aaron noticed that he wasn't alone... but continued his assault. He fired at the grenadiers, one shot after another, making sure that each shot landed.

Vulture fighters started falling from the sky,burning from too much damage from the Anti-Air. The Air-carrier's shield was starting to fail as it landed on its 6 feet. Now that its engines no longer need to function, power was being routed to land-based weapons. It also doubled as a mobile factory.
"The crystal is mine!" Yelled a voice from the carrier.

There was also a sniper on top of the carrier if Aaron spots her, she's busy sniping the tanks with her Imperial Railgun. Green hair with a red/black combat suit.
===
Messilita was fine~ just knocked out.

As for Lucia, she went back to the opening to sit beside Ciel.

Aaron was contemplating on his next moves as he reloaded.
===
Ciel seemed to have moved slightly toward Lucia, despite still being in stasis.

Lucia put her hand to touch Ciel,kind of curious.

A slight glow came about Ciel... this was the first time anyone had touched her in years.
She tried to open her eyes...

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?! Tell me!" Lucia then wrapped her arms around Ciel.
(Well,that escalated quickly.)

Ciel was somewhat warmed by this gesture... however, her eyes opened wide when she realized she was still naked.
She tried recreating her clothing, stretching out from her fetal position.
