[Azler Wilder]

In the rear, the three Dibison continued firing their massive cannons and unleashed another barrage of fire. From each of their sides, they opened up their missile pods and added a rain of missiles to their attack, ready to crush the opposition through overwhelming force, 8 of the 24 launched missiles flying up and locking onto the Buster Eagle.

Azler’s music kept pounding in his ears as his adrenaline shot up, his eyes flicking between his radar and the screen, allowing Sammy to take one of the hits and then quickly covering her as she maneuvered back to recharge her shields.

~3 Dibisons shooting off 8 missiles each for 24 total missiles, eight are flying after the Eagle, another eight after the wolf, that leaves only eight left.~ Thought the Pilot.

Flicking open his left missile pod, Wilder unleashed his own barrage to match the incoming one, detonating both of them safely. Griping the controls and pulling them hard, he then intercepted the Elephander’s incoming shots and disabling his shield, though he knew Sammy’s would be coming on momentarily.

The smoke that the Buster Eagle began spraying earlier was quickly beginning to take affect, the sky above appearing as a large cloud, with several areas on the ground blotted out.

”Kirin, thanks to the immense amount of smoke you’ve got going on up there, you should be able to dodge the incoming lasers relatively easily, so please assault the Elephander (B) that is preventing Tyro’s movements! If you aim specifically for pulse cannon on its back and its trunk, you should be able to disable them easily, especially if you hit the cannon from behind, it shouldn’t have the best shielding there! Tyro, I blocked their fire and Sammy is getting ready to as well, keep moving and try to aim for the Zoid that’s firing on Ryu, try for its legs, the shield should be weaker the lower you aim! Firo, MOVE IT! Sitting there is just going to get you killed! Either try to help Ryu or come to Tyro and focus your fire on the same target!” Informed Aegis’ controller.

Pulling Aegis back, the man breathed deeply, not to calm himself, but to keep his blood pumping quickly, using the adrenaline as best he could to keep his mind alert and thinking. If this all worked out, the Horn should be able to finally reach the Judge, and two Elephanders (A/B) should be decently harmed…

[Ryûsuke]

Still moving in an outranged globular proposition, Ryûsuke continued to keep a close eye on his VDT and monitors, effectively switching between the two indicated means of visual aids while contested the insurgence ship of the Backdraft gain. Surely one of the faster and more agile zoids, from the distance in which he was it would be next to unattainable for most long ranged attacks to cause decisive damage to the Saber-lion, and thus was the first tactical step in Ryûsuke’s approach.

Keeping a close tab on not only the number of consecutive shots deployed by the Backdraft’s zoids, but also his own team, Ryûsuke was able to register up a near accurate scoring within his mind. This could only be accomplished by one such as Ryûsuke due to his psychological potent that he assuredly only possessed on the battlefield. Though no a faultless and a precise tally, the score was close enough to indicate that the Backdraft was seemingly wasting a large quantity of ammunition on its targets and thus, only weakening their chances of successfully executing a victorious tactical offense.

One would think that if the opponent’s had a moderate understanding of the zoids that they were not only facing but in a species in whole, they would know that virtually nothing to sneak or startle a skilled Pilot of a Saber-lion do their near perfect sensory system, and thus Ryûsuke was completely aware of the incoming beam lasers that moved in a rapid fire spread. From their trajectory and the posture of the Zoid that was firing them, it would seem that these lasers were only lock-on, meaning that they were fired at a designated location, via the Saber-lion. However the flaw was that they weren’t homing and the Saber-lion was still in a fast motion. Looking ahead, there was nothing blocking his progress and thus continued along the same path, effortlessly sprinting stray of the attacks. However this time to ensure that he wouldn’t become a possible possum, The Saber-lion executed far, prevalent leaps, however close to the ground in a interweave pattern to make itself a more intricate target to hit.

"Alzer, mind instructing the other agile zoids to become decoys, this could possibly draw the attention from the Dark Horn."

After making the comment from the COM link interface, Ryûsuke would tactically used the broad blanket of smoke generated by the Buster Eagle to mask his equivocation, minimally dipping in and out of the smoke to bamboozle his opponent’s thought process. A simple but efficient method to say the least as the Saber-lion continued to do so, failing and rematerializing in a different location from different ends of the smoke billows on the grounds.

((OOC: But i did...fine))

Nat seemed to have lost his focus completely in the battle and now had to deal with a second barrage of fire in the form of missles. Nat sat completely calm his the cockpit and began to slowly tilt his controls to the left and as the first attacks came into range he hit the pedal below his feet quickly and seemingly a little rougher than intended. The navy blue command wolf jumped to right evading the first set of lasers and began to charge forward swiftly evading the attacks. "Nimble as ever eh Ichimonji?" He asked the wolf as he jumped to the left and then right in quick succession. "First Wave complete." He said out loud as he forward slowly closing the gap between him and the enemy Zoids. Sure not to get to close though as he saw a grouop of missiles fired from the enemy Zoids. "Only 8?" He asked himself as his Zoids forward motion did not cease but charged forward.

Nat had to widen his jumps as the missiles hit the ground and threatened to swallow him in their explosions. The first one was close the rest Nat was evading more effectively and before long 4 had already hit the ground. "Alright 4 left." Nat thought as he got his weapon systems up and running fired the Command wolf's rifle into the crowd missiles heading right towards him. He managed to hit the remainder and narrowly avoid the their explosions by slowing down and turning his zoid to a stop. As soon as the danger was gone Nat joined the small lion in the smoke screen. He decided not to emerge just yet but instead fired a series of shots at the enemy before jumping around like the saber lion firing a shot or two whenever he exited the smoke.

[Kirin]

The pilot of the buster eagle laughed crazily as he let off more smoke screen, and boosted himself out of the angle of the lasers, he felt as the missles where trying to catch him, and dropped some bombs to counter them, allowing them to run into it, to prevent damage, though he watched as the shields that the elephanders had caused the attacks of his team to fail, while the attacks of the opponents were also blocked by the Shield ligers. Then he heard the idea of one of the other pilots, and smirked. "Sure thing" he assured them, as he flew swiftly, pushing the Eagle to it's max speed of mach two, and pulling a run.

He then turned around and started aiming for the Elephanders and their large back mounted guns. He quickly pulled a risky move, of shooting his blaster at them, before dropping a few of his missiles and bombs on them, before boosting out of there just as quickly. He wanted to take out their weapons, and deal some damage, while leaving more smoke in his wake. "Eagle, lets show them how hard it is to fire when they are unable to see!" He cried as he laughed again, doing another quick run, this time from off their right, and across their path, dropping more smoke. He hoped this would stop their attempts at shooting for a while, and maybe drop the Elephanders ability to pull up more strikes with their shields raised. He hoped that the middle Elephander had taken the brunt of the damage.

"Come on guys, don't let me have all the fun" He taunted his allies, trying to rile them into doing better than he was, his speed proving to be higher than anything on the ground at the moment. He turned the corner swiftly, and flew up in a roll. He was enjoying the battle alot.

[Sammy]

Sammy growled, ducking to the side behind Azler's shield liger as his turn at the plate came up. Her shields started to slowly recharge, while her liger bounded along with the other two zoids in formation. The other shield liger was already straining his shields quite a bit, and she was worried that hers wouldn't be fully charged in time to intercept the next round of attacks. Luckily, there was a long enough delay between the rounds for hers to come back online about a few moments after the rounds started arriving.

Azler had the foresight to take out the missiles and Elephander shots, but the main threat were the two rounds of Dibison fire, each coming a few seconds after the other. With Azler's shield out and the other liger moving into position behind her, it was up to Sammy to deal with this. The Black Judge was so close too, that this would probably be the last time she would need to defend. Gritting her teeth, she waited until the last possible second to throw her shield up, hoping to save enough energy to block the entire attack. Her shields did, taking the full force of one of the dibison's fire, before dissipating. A second or two away, the second round of fire was still coming.

Throwing her controls to the side, she swerved her liger over right towards Tyro's zoid, the black horn not having the mobility to dodge those shots on its own. She lowered the zoid as it approached, running full-steam towards the black rhino zoid as the shots came streaking up behind her, targeting it. "Jump!" she yelled over the radio, hoping the pilot had the reflexes to try and dodge the shots anyways. Even though a normal dark horn dodge couldn't make those shots hit, it probably would with Sammy's shield liger ramming into the side and propelling it farther.

[tyro]

Behind the controls, Tyro's Dark Horn was being pushed as fast as it could be pushed, but the Dark Horn's natural limitation made his maximum speed only 130 kilometers an hour and he had to be careful to stay under powered shields of the other Zoids. Normally Tyro didn't have to worry about damage as normal Zoids because of his heavy armor but with the multitude of shots and bullets heading to him.

Then, over the intercom, he heard the frantic "Jump" and instinctively his Zoid's legs buckled his knees down, and as the Liger rammed his side he pushed off and Tyro's Zoid was rammed with the Liger a fair distance away. His armor protected the bulk of damage, and the black capsule was just steps away now, but still Tyro felt the urge to grab his intercom and yell "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!"

Now that he had some cover, he would wrap around the black capsule and facing the Backdraft battery line, he would fire three high powered Anti Air missles at the Zoids, aiming carefully at the Zoid center. Normally firing these were for aircraft Zoids, but an explosion was an explosion, yeah?

[Shadow Zeranion]

Seeing the attacks that were speeding towards them, the Elephanders once again activated their shields in order to block the various fire that came at them, protecting the Dibison behind them. Unfortunately, they didn't notice the Buster Eagle until it was too late, and the shots from the Buster Cannons impacted the middle Elephander dead-on. The powerful Buster shots threw the Elephander forward and immediately caused a Command System Freeze.

Up in the Whale King, the Backdraft commander grit his teeth as one of their zoids went down. “Grr… They’re better than I thought… Give the order to the Gunsnipers! Take out that damn Buster Eagle!!!” With that command, the tide of battle would suddenly become a whole lot tenser.

On the rocky ledge below, a team of specially cloaked gunsnipers stood targeting the Buster Eagle. Thanks to the amount of time they’d taken to line up their shots, they had no problems with accuracy as they fired each fired a deadshot towards a different area of the zoid when the pilot began showing off. One shot at the cockpit, one at the neck and one shot at the torso. The one-use cloaking field that the backdraft had outfitted with them was gone now that’d they’d fired the shots, but the chances that the targeted zoid would actually dodge the shots was minimal at best thanks to the fact the pilot had absolutely no clue that they’d set up there the same time they’d launched the Dibison and Elephanders from a rear ramp and had no way of finding the snipers.

As the Gunsnipers lined up their shots and fired the Dark Judge watched the Dark Horn attempt to use it as a shield. Seeing this, the Dark Judge laughed, "Oh this is rich! The honorable ZBC warriors are deciding to get their hands dirty. Too bad the Backdraft Group's already planned for this!" As it said this, the Judge capsule began to lift off from the ground and launched itself back into space. Just before it left transmission range it called back "I'll be back in a few minutes once I get re-launched! Still, maybe you'd like a job with us! You're certainly dishonorable enough to fit right in with us! But here's a little going away before I go! DIBISON TEAM! MEGALOW MAX THIS CHEATER!!!"

Back on the ground, the Elephanders sidled to the side in order to give room to the Dibisons, placing themselves in front of, but in between the three Dibisons. The Dibison pilots themselves seemed to obey the Dark Judge, and the huge assortment of cannons on the back of the 3 zoids began to glow. With a bellow the 3 zoids suddenly released their payload and 3 groups of spiraling yellow projectiles surged out of the zoids' cannons. Dibison A fired it Megalow Max into the smokescreen where Ryusuke and Firo were hiding their zoids. The large attack quickly spread out and blasted an area about half a kilometer in diameter where they impacted, covering the entire smoke filled area. The other two Dibisons targeted their Megalow Maxes towards the Dark Horn which had tried to play as dirty as the Backdraft group. Like their counterpart, the attacks spread out near the end and spread out to cover a massive area with glowing yellow projectile attacks.
