Gabriel casts Red Wall on Lyra.
Red Wall: Gabriel protects an ally by applying the power of Oppenheimer's resistances to an ally. A targeted ally takes 60% less damage from attacks. If the attack is nuclear or fire-based, increase the damage resistance to 80%.

Optimism: Even the worst kinds of situations can't bring a downer onto Gabriel's easygoing attitude. As the Persona is a reflection of the soul, Oppenheimer reflects Gabriel's unyielding optimism. Ailments have halved durations on Gabriel.
Blue Jacket grants 20% resistance to radiation ailments and 40% against heat-based ailments.

Yours Truly · March 22, 2020

Atton musters up the troops with a good old prayer for their continued success and good health, before pointing out the obvious, that Perlita and Bridgett's efforts for healing the troops and clearing the mass would be very appreciated.

Atton uses Battle Plans on Perlita and Bridgett to reduce a chosen action's cooldown by 1 round and increase a chosen stat by his Level for two rounds!.

Two of the A2-i project fragile looking disk-like shields and move to intercept for the two remaining Item Jammer Pods.

The other two move the slam into and Crush Bridgett and Gabriel, dealing 10 and 12 damage respectively. They each suffer a 30% damage penalty on their next attack.

Atton helps Bridgett and Perlita hatch a genius and foolproof plan. Probably.

Bridgett sends a wave of energy crashing over the horde of High Bit Customs, dealing 22 damage to each of her targets.

Iowa revs again and pulls into the perfect flank, the robots practically presenting armor weak-spots to her.

Two of the SDHCs begin charging their heavy weapons, aiming at Gabriel and Iowa.
Four more indiscriminately bomb the area(5,3,7,3), hitting Perlita, Bridgett, Gabriel, and Bridgett again. 6D intercepts for Perlita, taking 8 damage and Exposing the SDHC, Bridgett takes 4 and 12 damage, while Gabriel takes 18.

The two charged SDHCs release great flashing arcs of lightning on Perlita and Mira.

6D intercepts again! Taking another 13 damage for Perlita, 6D is Stunned by the overload.

Mira meanwhile sends the bolt of lightning grounding through her armor and blade before charging ahead and slamming through hex-shields into the SDHC that attacked her and dealing 30 damage, 19 having been absorbed by the shields.

Just barely ducking behind 6D as a bolt of lightning paralyzes her friend temporarily, Perlita calls out to heal Lyra restoring 9 HP and removing two status ailments.

Lyra tried her best to breathe and stay calm, what ended up happening was a little closer to “Cough up half a lung and bleed from the eyes”. She recovers 10 HP as the fresh air starts to clot some of the bleeding.

6D’s systems start catching up with the power overload, allowing her to recover from her stun.

Gabriel creates a wall to protect Lyra.

Sun Arcana burns.

Most of the High Bit Customs retain their positions protecting or boosting.

The High Bit Customs working with the SDHCs all shift, focusing on protecting and boosting the two charging SDHCs.

The two previously repairing bits move to boost two of the A2-Is.

The Item Jammer Pods activate emergency thrusters and prepare to fling themselves out of harm’s way, at least once.

Lyra’s body is wracked with pain as the poison runs its course, she takes 16 and 17 damage, slowly slipping beneath the veil of consciousness.

The Jammers pulse, causing Bridgett and Perlita’s gear to lock up.

Iowa grimaces at seeing Lyra go down, but she's only taken scratch damage so far herself, her main battery is loaded, and she's finally in position. Iowa fires her main battery guns at SDHC Number 220, dealing 5d12 + 10 damage as a high explosive shell slams directly into the drone. Her other shells go wide, but with this many targets she can hardly miss. All other enemies with less initiative than Iowa take half the damage the initial target did. All enemies damaged by Iowa's main battery receive the debuff Concussion for 2 rounds, reducing their attack damage by Iowa's strength (10). Concussion does not stack with itself. Iowa's 12 inch guns go on cooldown for 4 rounds, and she starts loading more high explosive shells.

GodofGamingRWBY · March 30, 2020

In the heat of battle, Mira barely registered one of her allies go down. It was odd, considering the size and power of those they had fought before and what they were fighting now, but she didn't pay much mind to it. It didn't matter to her after all, and all that mattered was the robots ahead. So, she held her sword in front of her, dark energy swirling around her being once more as she prepared for the next attack against her.

Mira uses Lunar Stance again, canceling the first attack made against her this turn (with priority), and dealing 6d8+3d6+11 damage to the attacker. She currently has four Magra, and will gain extra Magra in two turns.

Noticable effects right now:

Unstable (Flaw)
Mira is the carrier of the prototype Magra generator, which can become unstable if met with other instances of magic. Any magic attack that connects with Mira deals 50% more damage.

(Equipment) Mira’s Armor: The armor of the “Dark One”, Mira. Rusted, old, and cracked, yet durable enough to continue protecting its user from harm. Gives +4 Damage Reduction against Piercing/slashing attacks, and gives a +1 Damage Reduction against all physical attacks, but lowers initiative by 4-Strength (to a minimum of 0).

Greed: 1 charge

Black Heart bonus

(Craft) Level 5: Aura of Greed: Once per round when Mira lands a weapon attack Black Heart gains one charge. Mira gains +1 Syn and -1 global DR for every two charges Black Heart possesses. Black Heart looses all charges at the end of each encounter.

Perks

Magra
Mira specializes in using an energy she creates inside of her called Magra, which she specifically uses for attacks. She always starts with at least 1 Magra unless specified otherwise, but can carry over Magra from a previous fight if it was higher than 1, and can have a maximum of 8 Magra. At the end of each turn, Mira gains 1 Magra.

Full Moon Arts
Mira’s personal style, the Full Moon style, specializes in using Magra for extra powerful attacks for varying situations. Specifically, this perk gives Mira access to the action “Shattered Moon: Eclipse”.

Growing Power

While Mira's prototype generator is flawed and not as powerful and others, it is still something that is growing in efficiency. Mira gains +1 SYN every level.

Rending Combination
Due to years of training and mastering of her own internal power, Mira both knows and is capable of using her talents in quick succession. Mira can use up to two separate Magra costing actions per turn, although it costs twice as much Magra if she does so.

Unstable (Flaw)
Mira is the carrier of the prototype Magra generator, which can become unstable if met with other instances of magic. Any magic attack that connects with Mira deals 50% more damage.

Actions: (7/7)

Magra Generator: Mira’s heart is a generator, one that creates energy known as Magra, which is something Mira can use as an offensive tool. Every three turns, Mira gains 1 extra Magra.
- Level 1: Every four turns, Mira gains one extra Magra.
- Level 2: Decreased to one Magra every three turns.

- Level 3: Decreased to one Magra every two turns. This frequency cannot be increased further.

Cell Repair: Mira uses some of her Magra to accelerate her healing process than what is considered normal. Heals herself for 3d6+Syn outright, and can use up to eight Magra to add 1d6 to the heal each, or cleanse a debuff.
- Requires 1 Magra minimum
- Level 1: Mira heals herself for (1d6+SYN) health. She is capable of using more Magra for healing, which adds another 1d6 for each Magra used.
- Level 2: Healing increased by 1d6.
- Level 3: Healing increased by 1d6.

- Level 4: Instead of adding an extra 1d6 by spending extra Magra, she can instead cleanse a debuff on herself for every Magra spent.

Lunar Stance: Mira readies for an enemy’s attack, preparing to counter the second they try to strike her. Cancels the first attack made against her in the turn, and deals (Equipment Damage+3d6) damage to the attacker.
- Requires 2 Magra
- Level 1: If Mira is attacked during the round Lunar Stance is used, she automatically cancels any damage from a single enemy and attacks them for (Equipment Damage+1d6). If Mira is not attacked, she still uses the Magra for this action.
- Level 2: Damage increased by 1d6.

- Level 3: Damage increased by 1d6.
- Level 4: This action now has priority, activating before other (non-priority) actions.

Full Moon: Restriction Release: Mira puts her Magra generator into overdrive. When activated, this action gives Mira unlimited Magra for 4 turns, but locks up Shattered Moon: Eclipse. After 4 turns, the effect wears off and Mira is unable to generate Magra for two turns.
- Requires 8 Magra
- Level 1: After activation, Mira is capable of using Magra indefinitely for 4 turns. However, during this time, Shattered Moon: Eclipse is completely locked. After 4 turns, Mira is incapable of generating Magra for 2 turns, but immediately regenerates Magra at the end of the 2nd turn cooldown. If the battle ends before Full Moon: Restriction Release is finished, Mira will start the next battle with only one Magra.
- If Cell Repair is used during Full Moon: Restriction Release, it is treated as if Mira had only four Magra available.

(Perk Backed) Shattered Moon: Eclipse: Focusing all of her currently generated Magra and then some, Mira punches the ground and forces all of her Magra into it, causing a massive explosion of darkness to erupt from her. With this action, she can deal either (2[Weapon Dice]+Syn)x1.1 damage to 4 targets, or 4([Weapon Dice]+Syn)x1.1 to a single target, and targets are unable to dodge. However, after it is used, Mira is unable to generate Magra for the remainder of the battle.
- Requires 8 Magra
- Level 1: Mira deals 2[W]+Syn damage to up to 4 separate enemies, or 4[W]+Syn to a single target. However, after this action is used, Mira is unable to regenerate Magra for the remainder of the battle, effectively becoming locked out of most of her actions.
-Level 2: Shattered Moon: Eclipse cannot be dodged.

-Level 3: Final damage increased by +10%.

(Equipment) Black Heart (10 Weight): Mira’s personal sword, a rather long, one handed blade made out of black metal. Deals 6d8+Strength damage.
- Level 1: Deals 3d8+Strength damage to a single target.
- Level 2: Damage increased by 1d8
-Level 3: Damage increased by 1d8

- (Craft) Level 4: Damage increased by 1d8. Bonus towards Magra infusion on this weapon.

- (Craft) Level 5: Aura of Greed: Once per round when Mira lands a weapon attack Black Heart gains one charge. Mira gains +1 Syn and -1 global DR for every two charges Black Heart possesses. Black Heart looses all charges at the end of each encounter.

(Equipment) Mira’s Armor: The armor of the “Dark One”, Mira. Rusted, old, and cracked, yet durable enough to continue protecting its user from harm. Gives +4 Damage Reduction against Piercing/slashing attacks, and gives a +1 Damage Reduction against all physical attacks, but lowers initiative by 4-Strength (to a minimum of 0).
- Level 1: +1 Damage Reduction against piercing/slashing attacks, but lowers Initiative by 4-Strength (to a minimum of 0)
- Level 2: Damage Reduction increased by +1
- Level 3: Damage Reduction increased by +1
- Level 4: Damage Reduction increased by +1

- (Craft) Level 5: Damage Reduction +1 against all types of physical attacks.

Powder Miner · April 5, 2020

Perlita cringed hard, three times in quick succession. The first time was as 6D took multiple hits for her in short succession, struck repeatedly and overloaded by a bolt of lightning -- though at least 6D did appear to be recovering from that fairly rapidly. The second time, and the most extreme, was when despite Perlita's best and desperate efforts, Lyra ultimately fell to the poison that had ravaged her organs and driven the blood from her body. "No! ¡Mierda!" A full on panic attack, however, was this time averted by the abrupt realization that she DID have something which could help with even something this severe, the Life Shard she had received upon coming here... which then led to the third cringe from Perlita, as she realized that she could have used this on 6D! She just didn't have time to stay and feel guilty about it, though, because Lyra needed help fast. Summoning up the magical shard with a motion of her hand, Perlita sprinted up and applied it to Lyra with a grim but focused expression.

Perlita uses Life Shard on Lyra, canceling her flaw, reviving her, healing her to 25% HP, ~~and healing her for SYN (12) as well as herself for SYN (12) if removing Unconscious counts as removing a condition slash if the heal counts as using a heal for the purposes of her perks.~~

Stats:
Constitution: 8
Dexterity: 9
Intelligence: 4
Strength: 2
Synergy: 12

Passive Flaw:

Flaw: Psi Weakness: Most every Persona has a weakness, and Crawford is no exception, being weak to attacks of the Psi element -- or attacks that are close enough, thanks to a crippling fear of judgement reflecting itself within her Persona. Perlita takes double damage from mental attacks.

Actions:
Diarama (Level 7): With a flash of her glitzy Persona, Perlita casts one of her two direct healing spells, sending a burst of potent and focused healing energy to diffuse through someone’s being, which mostly just presents itself as a pink glow. Perlita heals 7d4+SYN health for a single target.
Level 2: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN.
Level 3: Upgraded from 2d4+SYN to 3d4+SYN.
Level 4: Upgraded from 3d4+SYN to 4d4+SYN.
Level 5: Upgraded from 4d4+SYN to 5d4+SYN

Level 6: Upgraded from 5d4+SYN to 6d4+SYN

Level 7: Upgraded from 6d4+SYN to 7d4+SYN

Media (Level 5): Perlita casts her other direct healing spell, which is less potent and more taxing, but heals multiple of her allies. In a lot of ways it looks similar to her other healing spell, simply causing a fainter pink glow of healing energy to surround more people, but it requires a longer exposure of her Persona and is harder to channel — she’s splitting her efforts, after all. Perlita heals 1d4+SYN damage for four targets. 1 turn cooldown.
Level 2: Upgraded from two targets to three targets.
Level 3: Upgraded from three targets to four targets.

Level 4: Upgraded from SYN healing to 1d4+SYN healing.

Level 5: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN healing.

Patra (Level 3): Perlita summons Crawford and casts a spell which showers the target in bright sparkles of a turquoise color. These sparkles are the visual signs of a spell that can soothe burns, purge illnesses, and calm down unnaturally troubled minds... or maybe multiple at once.” Perlita heals all of a target’s ailments.
Level 2: Upgraded from removing one ailment from the target to removing all ailments from them.

Hama (Level 2): Perlita summons Crawford and performs a more esoteric attack. She envelops the opponent in a glaring sphere of light containing words inscripted upon the inside, which remains for a couple of seconds, at which point the ability’s unreliable magic kicks in, either doing a great amount or not much at all. Does SYN light damage, but with a 30% *2 crit chance.
Level 3: Deals 1d4+SYN light damage, but with a 30% *2 crit chance.

Dark Jacket [Level 3]: A jacket that looks dark as night, and in fact is just short of being painfully dark to look at — a scant few steps from vantablack, in other words. It’s Perlita’s most potent possession, bringing out her Persona’s darkness resistance and resisting sleep magic. 20% resistance to darkness attacks, and a 40% chance of resistance to specifically sleep ailments.

Level 2: Gain 20% chance of resistance to sleep ailments.

Level 3: Upgrade that to a 40% chance of resisting sleep ailments.

Effort Choker: A little black and white choker which embodies focus and pushing oneself hard, letting an occasional spell be strengthened but taking some serious effort in the process. Once a plot, Perlita can add [SYN] to a single target heal or attack, but at the cost of adding 2 turns of cooldown to it.

Symbol of Lumabella: A holy item in the shape of a stylized bow in a beam of sunlight. While Perlita may be both Catholic and fairly religious, her background as a Persona-user means she isn't squeamish about other religion and mythology. Can be activated as a free action once per battle to cause the user's ally-targeting actions to remove a single debuff from allies for the round. If said action already removes debuffs, it will instead heal them by user SYN/2.

Atton's Actions:
(Perk Backed) Never Give Up!: “Richard stands upon the highest platform he could find, and raises his silver sword in such a way that catches the light, golden wings appear and Richard appears to be wearing a golden horned helmet for just a few moments, this causes anyone watching to suddenly feel inspired”

Entrenchment: Atton orders some of his squad to quickly dig an entrenched position...complete with a bunch of sandbags to form a chest high wall.
Current: Create a trench large enough for two allies.
Level 1: An ally can choose to enter this trench as a free action, causing them to gain a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks until they perform a non ranged action.
Level 2: The entrenchment is now large enough for two allies.
(Alternatively just a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks that lasts until the target use a non ranged action.)

Forward March!: “Richard attempts to convince a friendly target that they can, and will move faster than they usually would by using a short speech”
Current: Increase the Init of two targets by [Int]/2.

Level 1: Restore 1d4+[Int] HP to one target.
Level 2: Now also cures one ailment.
Level 3: Increase the number of affected targets by one.

Banner of the 10th Regiment: A rather minimalistic banner depicting a symbol of a golden winged white cross and the words ‘10th Regiment’ written in stark white placed on a dark blue background that is held aloft on a sturdy metal pole. The sight of the banner flying freely (and a constant stream of motivational sayings) motivates Atton and his crew to move and act even faster.
Current: +6 Init
Level 1: Boost Init by 3 points.
Level 2: Init boost improved to +6.
Level 3: A megaphone attached to the top of the banner grants Atton an additional +3 boost to initiative....if he spends a turn to activate it that is, as he decided to place the mouthpiece at the top of the banner for some inexplicable reason.

Symbol of Lumabella x1 - A holy item in the shape of a stylized bow in a beam of sunlight. Can be activated as a free action once per battle to cause the user's ally-targeting actions to remove a single debuff from allies for the round. If said action already removes debuffs, it will instead heal them by user SYN/2.

Half-Track's actions:
.50 Cal: Atton orders the squad’s gunner to man the M2 Browning and open fire on the enemy’s position.
Level 1: Deals 2d6+[Dex] damage to one target or 1d6+[Dex]/2 to three targets, only usable when equipped by the Half-track or Atton is in a stationary defensive position (Such as the one created by his Entrenchment action), one round cooldown.

Armor Plating:
Current: +5 DR vs Piercing, Slashing, & Bludgeoning damage.
Level 1: Reduce incoming Piercing, Slashing, and Bludgeoning damage by 3 points, reduce user’s Init by 7-[Str], only usable by vehicles.
Level 2: Increase damage reduction by one point.
Craft Level 3: Synthetic adamantium has been alloyed with the pot metal armor of the Half track, allowing it to absorb kinetic energy and convert it to heat. Increases damage reduction and initiative reduction by 1.

Combat Engineer: Specialist James Doherty is an almost constantly overworked Scottish man who prides himself in his ability to allow the squad’s M9 Half Track take a bigger load of punishment than it is used to without falling apart.
Current: 4 points of repair regen each round.
Level 1: Grants 3 repair healing to the user at the start of each round while equipped.
Level 2: +1 Regen each round.

Gunner: Private Jesus Kaltenbrunner is a textbook example of how not all Germans who fought in world war 2 were evil, or misled by patriotism and promises of racial superiority into fighting for the Axis forces, as some of them were Jewish, German expatriates, immigrants, or just decided that the Axis forces could go stuff themselves. Rather unfortunately he is also a terrible shot with any non fully automatic weapon...but he is improving somewhat.
Level 1: Increase damage dealt with ranged weapons by 3.

Atton uses naught but a flesh wound on Gabriel and Bridgett to heal them by 1d4+Int.

Interception Protocol on Gabriel

Spoiler

Level: 5

HP: 85

Init: +9

Stats: 30/30

Constitution: 11

Dexterity: 9

Intelligence: 2

Strength: 8

Synergy: 0

Perks:

Self-Repair Systems:

As a Defense-Type android, 6D will be taking some hits even if she manages to deflect the worst of it. As such, she has built-in self repair systems to do this. 6D heals 10% hp each round.

Lightning Speed:

Even as a defense focused android, YorHa units such as 6D are fast by nature, and mobility is a major part of combat doctrine. Every third turn, 6D may take an additional action.

Combat Preparation:

If one thing leads to more casualties than anything else, it is going into combat unprepared; 6D is not unprepared. At the beginning of combat, 6D may apply two buffs to herself before taking action.

Confrontation Protocol:

As long as a Defense-type android stands, they will stand between the enemy and their allies. Grants the action Confrontation Protocol.

Flaws:

Glory To Mankind: 6D cannot attack or debuff human foes. She can still defend herself and others against their attacks, but not directly harm them.

Voracious Greed: If there is an enemy at 50% or lower HP, any actions that 6D takes that do not involve dealing damage to that enemy inflicts\ [Level] damage on herself. If there are multiple enemies at 50% HP or lower, it only needs to hit one to qualify.

Actions: (19/19 AP)

Deflection Protocol (Active, Level 3): 6D uses her speed (and use of generally large weapons) to deflect attacks - the force can still cause some minor damage, but it is generally mitigated.

-Base: Applies buff [Deflection x3] to self. For the next three attacks against 6D, roll minimum damage. Three turn cooldown, cannot stack on itself.

-Level 2: Applies buff [Deflection x4] to self. For the next four attacks against 6D, roll minimum damage. Three turn cooldown, cannot stack on itself.

-Level 3: Applies buff [Deflection x4] to self. For the next four attacks against 6D, roll minimum damage. Two turn cooldown, cannot stack on itself.

Retaliation Protocol (Active, Level 2): While on the defense, 6D leaves the enemy open to further attack - either from herself, or from allies.

-Base: Applies buff [Retaliation] to self. For two turns, when an enemy attacks 6D, they will receive the [Exposed] debuff until hit, causing attacks against them to do 10% more damage . 3 turn cooldown.

-Level 2: Applies buff [Retaliation] to self. For two turns, when an enemy attacks 6D, they will receive the [Exposed] debuff until hit, causing attacks against them to do 15% more damage. 3 turn cooldown.

Interception Protocol (Active, Level 2): 6D prioritizes an ally to protect, intercepting strikes targeting them.

-Base: Choose an ally, and take the next attack targeting them. Two turn cooldown.

-Level 2: Choose an ally, and take the next two attacks targetting them. Two turn cooldown.

Stunning Strike (Active, Level 2): A crushing blow leaves the enemy stunned.

-Base: Deals damage of equipped weapon as well as stunning the enemy for one turn. Cooldown 3 turns.

-Level 2: Deals damage of equipped weapon as well as stunning the enemy for one turn. Cooldown 2 turns.

Induce Rage (Active, Level 1): A program from 6D’s Pod that sends the enemy into a blind rage. They lose the mental faculty to do anything but their most basic attacks.

-Base: Induce the [Rage] status effect on the target, forcing them to do basic attacks for two turns. Three turn cooldown.

Confrontation Protocol (Perk Backed Active, Level 5): As a free action, force an enemy to target you with at least one attack each turn for the next 2 turns.

-Level 2: Increase duration by 1 turn.

-Level 3: Decrease cooldown by 1 turn.

-Level 4: Remove cooldown.

-Level 5: Taunting a new enemy no longer removes the old taunt.

Automated Reboot (Trick): At the beginning of combat or when this action is equipped 6D chooses a threshold. When the total number of debuffs 6D is suffering from reaches this threshold this passive automatically purges all status buffs and debuffs and then stuns her. Two round cooldown

Equipment:

YorHa Uniform (Trick, 3 tokens)

Armor in the shape of a beautiful black gothic dress, standard for YorHa units. Reduces damage from slashing and piercing weapons by two in exchange for 4-STR reduction in initiative.

Spoiler

The sounds of battle fade, pushed to the back of Iowa’s mind as a stormy silence fills the air. Her main cannons turn to bare, before belching thunderous destruction that echoes across the tightly packed enemies.

The main SDHC takes 72 damage and shutters to a twisted and beat mass, but still a functional one. All other targets take 36 or less damage(depending on defensive bonuses) with five High Bit Customs becoming inoperable. All enemies become Concussed.

The shields around the charging SDHCs fail as their sources do.

Three of the A2-i robots get it on good advice that Mira is the person to beat to death today and all swarm over her. She counters the first, and the other two hit her for 2 and 0 damage.

Her counter attack deals 38 damage.

The remaining A2-i twitches with critical damage before exploding in a flash of purple energy. A mold-like substance grows over it pulling metal back into shape and staining it various shades of pink and purple.

A2-1 No. 150 has gone Viral!

Atton heals Gabriel for 18 HP and Bridgett for 16.

Bridgett summons up her defensive barriers around herself, Gabriel, and 6D.

Lyra twitches on the ground.

The two charging SDHCs release their lightning bolts. Gabriel takes 0 damage, but still becomes stunned while Iowa takes 6 damage and becomes stunned.

Three fire on Bridgett for 0, 0, 0 damage and three on Perlita for 4, 3, and 2 damage.

With a shout the taller girl in blue drops down on an Item Jammer skewering it on her sword, the other girl makes a horizontal slash that takes out the other Jammer.

A quick glancing survey shows slashed and broken remains of the handful of robots that had stayed behind to fight the two girls.

Even as Perlita pulls out the Life Crystal and dashes over to Lyra it starts breaking up in her hand and glowing so brightly it almost hurt just to hold. What she ends up passing to Lyra is an overwhelming, blinding, light.

Lyra feels a soft warmness washing over her as she drifts back into consciousness, the blistering filling her throat and lungs slowly disappearing like they were never there.

Lyra returns to the battle with 16 HP.

Perlita restores 12 HP to herself.

6D shifts, moving to protect Gabriel.

6D regenerates.

Gabriel sends a blast of fire at the transformed A2-i, dealing 19 damage and setting it ablaze.

Sun Arcana burns.

Four Bits defend the A2-i, two repair A2-i No. 150.

The remaining three move to defend the charging SDHC bots.

The Virus spreads to SDHC No. 220, purple and pink goop pulls metal framework back together.

As the echoes of Iowa’s attack fall off dust settles in the distance and with thunderous footsteps a large humanoid figure approaches. You all see a mech or robot of some kind stepping out of the dust cloud, humanoid, largely blue and white with bits of red and a golden lion’s head on its chest along with what look like wings made from a fighter jet on its back and a flaming sword in its left hand.

Black artifacting tentacles stretch over a large bullet hole in the side of his head and down several places of damage on his torso.

AzyWng · April 8, 2020

As Lyra lay collapsed on the ground, only vaguely aware of what was happening through the pain, she wondered what was wrong with her.

She'd confronted Mira for her recklessness earlier, and yet it was the contractor who'd charged in this time - and this time, she'd been punished for it. Everyone else seemed to be doing fine from the glimpses she'd caught, and now, not only had two people had to stop to help her, they hadn't even succeeded.

She just hoped they could do fine without her. Otherwise, she'd be dragging the team down even -

Her thoughts were interrupted by a strange sensation of warmth. The pain disappeared, and before she knew it, Lyra was on her feet again...

And looking up at the massive mech that had just approached.

Lyra knew she couldn't take on such a creature. Though the pain was gone, Lyra still felt weak. She'd need to rest up and heal before she even tried to approach that thing, and she needed to make sure her allies focused on the people who really mattered - never mind how Perlita had just put her back on her feet.

"Perlita, Gabriel, go take care of the others! I'm gonna rest up and be back with you when I'm ready!"

Lyra uses Breathe on her turn, healing herself for 2d6+7 points of damage!

Adrenaline Dodging: Cooling down. 2/3 turns left...

Blur: 1/3 attacks left!

Fiasco: Ready!

Concussion: Ready!

Taunt: Cooling down. 2/3 turns left...

Swapper: 1/1 Charges left.

Mira

Finally. It seemed Iowa's little stunt had brought the main event right to them. Which to Mira, was good, seeing as they no longer had to fight through a horde of worthless machines just to get to who they were meant to deal with. She barely paid any attention to the few drones that had opted to try and swarm her and break through her armor, only bothering to grab hold of one of the drone's fronts, metal bending ever so slightly in her grip before she slammed it into the ground, along with her stomping on the machine for good measure as she began her march towards Brave. Judging by his looks, he was no slouch in combat. Large and heavily armored... And bearing the same corruptible state that was present on the now deceased Judge.

But to Mira, it didn't entirely matter. She could tell that they weren't as overwhelmingly powerful as Judge, and seeing as they obviously weren't the group's leader, she couldn't even consider him a hidden threat. His robotic backup was inconsequential, seeing as she'd simply do what she had always done. Break through with her brute force.

Mira charges CFW Brave and attacks with Black Heart, dealing 6d8+11 damage and gaining another stack of greed. She currently has 5 Magra, and will gain extra Magra in one turn.
