The battle continues but the soldiers dwindle in ranks
:Airlia kneels down and can actually count out all of the Rebel soldiers, adding them up to the total they arrived with she shakes her head in amazement. It wasn't supposed to be this easy they said. Perhaps they were too late for the other team, but regardless they were doing well:

::Eva moved a strand of hair out of the way as most of the soldiers that was charging towards them finally dwindled down a little bit::
"You know....I barely broke a sweat with this...hell fighting after fighting Loci is making this look like candy..."
::She cut down her last soldier and looked around at the field at the dead bodies that lays across it so far::
"War is not beautiful to say the least......where's everyone else at?"

Zion builds up a decent sized wall of shadow beside 4 enemy soldiers. He sweeps it sideways, crushing them into a wall. Zion, from being in the wild, wasn't tired much either. He had an uneasy feeling about how easily they were winning here. He moves to join Eva and Airlia.
"I see you two have been doing well."
He turns and looks at the progressing battle.
"We all have, a little too well for my liking. This reeks of a set up, or at least that they're on to our diversion."

:As Zion gathers with Airlia and Eva the ground beneath them collapses and fire erupts. A large, modified Magitek armor rumbles down a side street towards them. It fires blasts of ice spells at Dante and some other soldiers. The remaining soldiers in the village, a handful, gather behind the big robot lumbering down the road:

As the ground gives way, Zion reacts. He creates a disk of shadows underneath him that throws him sideways, out of harms way. He rolls sidelong and lands on his feet.
"Tsk, I knew it."
He mutters this to himself as he brushes himself off.
"Take cover! Small groups! Move!"
He knew he had to find Airlia. He figured she would have a summon to contest that large armor. Zion, at this point, is not even sure if she survived. He looks back to the original area of the collapse, trying to find her.

::Eva spread out her wings and quickly flew to the side just in time to avoid the fire and she growled slightly::
This is what I get for saying things are a tad bit too easy now....
::She quickly brought up and ice shield just as a grenade had landed in front of her and it blew knocking her back a few feet before she regained her composure and both of her blades starts glowing again::
Now they want to play rough....
::The big Magitek armor fired a cannon blast towards the group causing a slight explosion and a big crater in the area while it continued to fire off ice spells at the group::

:Airlia, momentarily unseen from battle appears behind the small row of soldiers. She grins darkly and her eyes flare with hatred. Her blade slashes through the first men before anyone can hear a sound. The next couple let out screams that alarm the rest of the men. They turn to face a small, frail looking girl with a sword. Blood drips from her face and she looks like a berserker. The soldiers open fire, but Airlia dodges them. Eventually the gun fire ceases and she regains balance to see the large machine aiming a cannon at her. She armor opens fire, the resulting blast emits a squeak from the little girl as she is thrown backwards and disappears in a cloud of smoke from the landing. The armor and the few soldiers left again turn and open fire on Zion and Eva:

Zion sets a wall of shadow behind him to cover his back while he takes cover behind a building. He wasn't sure what to make of the display he saw from Airlia. He did know that he had to join the battle again soon. After a moment of concentration, he infused his blade with shadow energy. His sword looks as if shadows are weaving around it. Zion steps back out and swings his sword in a horizontal arc at the armor. Wave of shadow energy in the shaped of a quarter-moon flies from the blade at the armor. Zion waits to observe the effect of his attack before taking cover again.

I know my attacks won't work since its in their system however my father's swords aren't in that system!
::Eva flew in behind the wave of shadow energy taking advantage of the cover it was providing and does an X-shaped slash with both of the blades just as the energy hits the tech causing additonal damage to the armor as the impact pushes Eva back the armor pointed its cannon towards Eva and fired at her::
Crap!!!!!
::Eva put both of her blades together knowing that she wasn't going to escape from the blast and started twirling them causing a slight whirlwind of ice and fire to appear in front of her as a slight shield just as the blast explodes knocking Eva back through a couple of trees and causes the armor to get knocked down flat on its back crushing a few of the soldiers who was behind it::

:The ground around the soldiers freeze and hold all of them in place. Shiva steps out from the smoke and throws ice shards at the soldiers behind the machine. The shatter across them like shards of glass until the men slump over on the ground that they're frozen to. The armor, still slightly stunned from Zion and Eva, turns its canons again and fires. This time a heavy ice shield is thrown up that blocks the blast. Airlia comes into view as the smoke disipates and leans on her sword beside Shiva:

(OOC - Apparently I'm behind again on the worst time, sadly. I am just glad you did not literally say that you froze me stiff.)
The icy mist slowly fades to reveal Dante in a defense stance. He opens his eyes to realized that the resistance soldiers were frozen stiff. He puts his hand on his forehead.
Damn... again... why...
Memories rush in his mind...
Dante... I wish for you to not protect me anymore...
... why..?
Because... I'm...
...?
He looks up to see the unique resistance members getting into trouble against a much bigger bipedal machine. With memories flowing, sins returning, and thoughts remembering he rushes in as enemy soldiers aim fire and rush in to attack with their swords.
Because Dante is in such a trance, his MP is ignored as he strafes and perform fatal Issens as he passes and vanquishes each soldier. The giant machine catches Dante on sight and fire its machine gun but he strafes and rolls away to avoid it.
When Dante gets on his feet, he sees the cannon in front of him. The pilot, seeing that he has Dante like a fish in a barrel, takes his time to perfect his sights on Dante's head; that was a terrible mistake. In a quick reaction, Dante pulls out his Revolver shoves it in the cannon's barrel. He charges up the Revolver, fires it, and quickly pulls his hand out of the cannon and roll away. He could hear the many ricochets within the cannon, which later shatters in many pieces to makes the cannon unusable. The giant machine, angered, seems to be able to fire an ice spell. Dante strafes to avoid being frozen but his feet goes stuck on the ground due to part of the ice spell.
"Damn."
He starts to chip away the ice using his sword sheathe before the giant machine does its next move....

(OOC- You know...ya'll are gonna have to stop putting things on me XD I'm gonna have to start charging ) ::Eva and Zion both rushes up to the giant machine just before it started to get ready to blast its machine gun towards Dante only this time Eva has Rudra completely in flames as she rushes towards the gun and slashed upwards:: "Fira Crescent Slash!" ::A crescent shaped slash completes melts and cuts through the machine gun making the machine completely weaponless as Zion prepares his blades and does another blast of shadow energy towards the armor pushing it back as Eva in turn melts the ice around Dante's legs freeing him from the ground:: "Good your alright....." ::Eva turned around towards the armor and started twirling the sword having it pointed directly at the machine:: "Firaga Tornada!" ::A huge whirlwind of fire completely overtakes the machine and the few remaining soldiers in that area into the flames when soon the machine exploded taking care of any stray solders that may have been around in the area but the after shock of the explosion blew everyone back for a few yards and nothing is left but a crater from the explosion:: I'll be feeling that in the morning....::Eva gotten up shakily and looked around as she surveyed the damage:: "........" ::She looked and saw everyone who was left from the resistant force slowly start grouping together just as Airlia and Zion came to join everyone else:: "I'll check around town to see if there's anything left..." ::Eva flew up into the air and started flying around a bit into the town and landed walking around the town as the smoke continued to go up through the town from the burning buildings:: *Back to the group* Corporal - "Good....it seems like everyone is more or less alive however its time to start planning our next choice of action....the enemy here was too little to have been a full invasion force and I highly doubt this was a big enough diversion...." ::The corporal pulled out his map again and laid it on the ground as everyone kneeled down trying to get a quick rest as well as listen to the corporal for the next plan:: "Sources indicates that there are more invasion forces that have made their way in to Albrook and Maranda however just keep in mind that all our goal is to create a big enough diversion and if possible to lower the forces down a bit so what is your decision on the next point of contact?" ::Eva flew back to the group and landed in behind them as she walked up and sat down next to Dante and looked at the group hearing the last part of the conversation of what was going on then she went over and looked down at the map before looking at the Corporal:: "I think we should go to Albrook considering its closer and we can get there a lot faster than flying all the way over to Maranda thus making us lose whatever momentum we may have right now..." ::She looked at the group and smiled a bit:: "There are survivors in the town right now who are working on rebuilding the place...I managed to stop all the fire's that was going on and there aren't anymore soldiers around in the area so this place is free of soldiers right now." Corporal- "Good work, and yes I do agree with you on our next destination and if anyone has any other suggestions I would like to hear them now...." ::Not hearing a response from anyone the Corporal nodded and then folded the map back up:: "Alright...everyone start packing up whatever thats left and head to the ship. Our next destination is Albrook."

Dante hears the new order and reloads his Revolver and turns to Eva.
"I thank you for getting me out of that situation. Sadly, I do not know how to repay you... other that the thanks."
He puts his head on his forehead. Ugh... I honestly do not know what to do or say for one who saved my life.... always been fighting alone... surviving alone... for so long. His mind goes on and off like a flickering candle light and starts to feel a bit claustrophobic. He then coughs heavily.
"Sorry... I must head to the ship and rest my mind for a moment. Sorry again."
He starts to head to the ship. From the corner of his eye, he see the POW and his family helping to rebuild the town. He noticed the POW waving hi.
....??
Dante waved Hi back and went in the ship to meditate.

::Eva smiled a bit and nodded while she watched Dante walk back to the ship::
"Don't worry about it...."
::Eva looked around at the damage one more time before shaking her head and helped out gathering whatever supplies that they could salvage before packing up the ship::
Corporal- "Alright good everyone's here....it's time to get a move on!!!"
::The corporal watches while everyone piles in on the ship before getting on board himself as well as the doors close and he head's towards the cockpit::
Corporal- "Are we ready for launch?"
Pilot 1 - "Yes sir we're ready for take off and the coordinates for our next destination."
::The corporal nodded and gave the pilots the coordinates before strapping in with everyone else as the plane started up and lifted from the ground and took off towards the direction of Albrook::
Might as well use this time to get some rest...I have a feeling this is going to be a long one....
::Eva thought to herself as she looked out the window before closing her eyes trying to get some sleep::
(OOC - Alright time for the next part, next posts will be in Albrook although I'm not going to get the action started til Infin and Zion get back but I will set things up)
