"Alright we're in the square. There are four Mordian cadets also in the square."
Seifer rolled his eyes. Just then, the grinding sound of the riot machines became louder and louder as a whole fleet of them came marching down towards the square.
The machines marched into the square and startled most of the unit, but those who weren't scared were prepared. They quickly fired several types of magic, only to have them turned back onto themselves. Little did they know that the machines had Auto-Reflect.
"GODDAMN FUCKIN MACHINES!" Riniah screamed. She popped out a machine gun and fired. "LET'S SEE YOU REFLECT THESE, MOTHER FUCKERS!"
Several machines started to explode as the bullets punctured their fuel tanks. Others were now decorated with bullet holes. She grinned with a grim pleasure dancing about her visage. Several students had knocked themselves out with their own magic (several used Sleep while the remainder of those out for the count used Break), so now the group member active count was down to about five, not counting the Mordian Task Force. They split up into groups of three. Seifer got stuck with Minoa and another student named Zhane. Riniah glared at the fact that she wasn't Seifer's partner.
(Ugh, I guess the plan will just be played out later…yes, I guess that if we start the plan now, everybody would know what's going on.)
Minoa and Zhane provided backup attacks to the only physical attacking Seifer.
(Man, am I dumb. I forgot to grab a GF. I'll go and get one of them later. I can't get stuck like this again.)
Marcos got Riniah and Cairone. He had no trouble finding the perfect strategy for his group despite his lack of knowledge of their abilities.
(I hope Seifer's havin' fun over there. This's gonna be awesome. I think we'll win this. I just hope that Seifer's gonna be okay. He looks a little tired. )
The three remaining students, including a former Mordian habitant named Monty, were in awe as they were left to fend for themselves.
(Damn, I knew that these things existed, but I didn't know that they'd be so hard to beat or be so damn large.)
Out of the ten that had charged the square, Riniah had managed to blow four up and now each team took on two apiece.
Marcos' team found no problem taking down one, but now the other one had been powering up while not attacking or defending, so it proved to be much harder. The three students figured to Dispel the machine's Reflects, since they could then hit them with anything without feeling it back. They finally found the weakness to fire easy to manipulate and they were soon finished with their two and decided to assist Marcos' team.
Seifer's team, however, found themselves in a large pickle when the machine cast Sleep on Minoa. Seifer became the next target and he didn't enjoy that much. He ran behind one of the machines and shot a fireball into the exhaust pipe. It exploded and Seifer almost got trapped under shrapnel, but he already had started moving towards the other machine. He sliced off both back legs in one spin. He almost got landed on, but he yet again moved quickly, aiming for the front left leg. After he had lobbed off that leg, he allowed Zhane a chance to destroy half of the right side to rack up some attack points. The machine fell and its semi-broken body was all that was left. Seifer lunged for it, but was flung backwards and landed on Minoa. The jolt woke her up. She looked around. She got up and walked to the back of the machine. She signaled to Zhane and Seifer to distract the pilot. She then put up a shield around the machine, all except the tailpipe. She lit a fireball in her hand and placed it next to the tailpipe. Needless to say, the damn machine exploded. But when the pieces hit the shield, they bounced back. Minoa had successfully had a nice pile of flaming metal out of a body hull. If you could see her face, you'd probably find a pleasantly graceful smile written all over it.
