The moment that Dropper went off, Hargreave had already hit the floor. When the smoke and mess finally cleared, the Flagg-Director, and what little aura she had (having mostly done desk work, not much opportunity to use it) was well depleted and a sizable scratch was on the back of her bullet-resistant suit.

"Hab-10, report in!" she shouted into her scroll as she picked herself and another up.

"Evasive manuevers!" one of the pilots shouted as they activated every countermeasure they had against the incoming droppers; flares and chaff showered the area around them while the gunners diverted fire toward the robots, taking out at least 8 of them.

One of them managed to latch onto the belly of Hab-0, its jackhammer doing a number on the armored airship. The first one that got on set off the reactive armor and that took care of it, the second one that made it latched on and went to work on the same spot. By the time Hab-10 managed to shoot it off, at least one explosive had managed to get inside and rip the crew compartment wide open. Thankfully, the compartmentalization of the airship kept it mostly together

"Zed, you all right?" Hab-10's cockney pilot called over the comms, watching the smoke coming off of his wingman.

"I've lost rear gunners, don't think I got much longer." Hab-0 replied, struggling to hold the dying airship stable. "Get Hargreave and the others, I'll buy you some time!" with that, the Inua launched a relentless burst of rockets at the BOB APC's while on a suicide course. For a pair of corporate soldiers, the pilot and forward gunner were suprisingly disciplined. With the airship's final couse locked into the autopilot, they lept out and used the gravity dust functions in thier suits to slow thier descent toward Terra Firma.

Hab02 was the one with a chainsaw to his neck and it wasn't going to be long before it got through his aura. The faunus let go of his rifle and fell backwards, drawing his Type-40 laser pistol along the way. While flat on his back, he blasted away at the hound.

"Hit the dirt, bomb on his neck!" he shouted, noticing a strange device around the enemy's neck, and rolled sideways to escape.

Meanwhile, Hab-5 thru 8 were powering through to the upper levels. Were it not for the prominent Flagg logos on the shoulder pauldrons, they'd likely have been fired upon by the government guards. They advanced together to the meeting room.

"Friendles at the door!" Hab-8, a female beagle faunus, shouted into the room before tearing the aforementioned door off and beckoning for the group to come with.

With new orders, Hab-10 flew to the roof of the Ampitheatre where Rainier and some other pilgrims were battling it out with other hounds. Unfortunatly, it was too close for missiles, time to switch to guns. Clasping the control unit tight, the Inua's forward gunner unleashed a furious red laser beam at the hound furthest back. Fueled by fire dust, that laser could heat targets up to 1980 degrees celcius, well beyond the melting point of steel (1370 degrees celcius)

Finally equipped with that acid drum, Rainier boosted into the air, above the hounds. The combined fire of the pilgrims and an Inua should have been enough to take care of the job, but as the old Sahale proverb goes: "Ammunition is cheap, life is expensive." The archer squeezed the trigger and his shotgun Guinivere emptied her drum of vitriolic hydrocholic acid all over the hounds.

"Notice, VPD reinforcement have arrived." Honara's CATSAI informed her and the Manticores.

"Allright, pincer attack, let's go!" she called to the robots as she hopped onto one like a war horse; a giant, mechanical war horse covered in armor, metal storm machine guns, and lasers. Leaping over wreckage, Honara's Manticore flattened a trio of runners while Honara herself decapitated one on her right. Another Manticore rammed a runner into the air before taking a massive bite out of it with its diamond-edged teeth. All the while, the 8 metal storms carried by the 4 kept up a relentless barrage.
