Greg stood firm in front of Myra, with a look in his eye, not of rage or fear, but of respect and seriousness. "You are correct Commander" he muttered softly. "But who's to say the reds won't send one more strike at us in their retreat? As we speak, our army is growing lazy and relaxed, what makes you think they're fully done here?" His scythe vanished from his grip and he sat wobbily on a stool. "My- I mean commander, i don't want any more soldiers of ours, theirs, or the citizens to be injured.." he paused and glanced towards Yume. "...or possibly killed. This needs to end"

As soon as the binding spell released Celeste's body she dropped to her knees. Tears still slipped down her cheeks, but she wiped them away hastily. Itaku had just risked his life to ensure her safety against the Red Coats. She was not about to give them further proof of her budding relationship with Itaku. Besides, she was sure he had gotten away and was going to be alright. She just had to believe...When she was sure her face was once again placid, Celeste stood and quickly scribbled a message on her notebook before going to the open doorway where the Colonel had vanished. She walked in and went over to the Colonel holding out the book for him to see. "Are you alright, sir?"
Yume gritted her teeth against the pain and pushed herself into a sitting position before falling back against the pillows that now propped her up. She had been meaning to go after Greg, but her wounds apparently didn't like the idea, so instead she leaned back against the pillows and waited for the pain to subside.
Yuki continued to run through the ship. She hadn't found any Red Coat, thank God, but she hadn't been able to find much else either. "Great, I 'm in the middle of enemy territory and I manage to get myself lost. That's great, just great Yuki." she muttered to herself as she came to a fork in the halls and picked yet another hall at random. "Well, nothing much I can do, but keep on going I guess..."

Zeno Angha stiffened and saluted. "Yes, ma'am. I gave no order to board the mothership, so there should be none of our men there... unless..." Zeno looked around. "Unless if Lieutenant Obichi took independent action. In fact, he's not the only one, I believe."
"Even if the Reds do return, we are in no chance to fight them anyway. We have no anti-aircraft gunners, and our dragon squads are decimated. We can only hope that the Redcoats do not return.
"Still, I doubt the Red Air Fleet will come back. We have captured their paratroopers--the whole lot of them. Their strategic objective has been lost and there would be no reason for the Redcoats to waste their bombs in renewing hostilities on Snowtown."
Colonel Rajeiia de La Fenice equipped himself with special mask that enabled him to see through smoke and bad weather. Walking calmly out of the laundry room and out into the smoky hallway, he looked around and saw that the figure of Lieutenant Itaku had disappeared. "What, the fight's over?"
Rajeiia saw a feminine figure approach him. It was Celeste. He read the message and eyed Celeste with a bit of distrust, although his mask hid the expression. "I'm alright; thank you... Celeste." Rajeiia remembered her name quite clearly.
"Are you alright, soldier?" Rajeiia asked in response, his tone becoming that of an officer's. As the smoke cleared, he and Celeste were left alone in the hallway. Rajeiia took off his mask and looked at Celeste. "Did the Bluecoat hurt you or anything?" While Rajeiia seemed concerned about Celeste's wounds, he was actually more concerned about getting this girl out of the military. He knew a lot of female soldiers, and he felt half of them weren't strong enough to be in the army... he didn't consider himself sexist, but he felt that their pity and hesitation would get in the way of their duty.

Celeste wrote in her notebook again, her face as deadpan as ever. She then turned it so the Colonel could read her message"I am alright. My injuries are minimal, and are of little concern." She then turned the notebook towards herself again and wrote a new message. "I await your orders, sir."

Itaku was running through the ship with a great smile on his face, he had performed admirably....every thing that was his part was finished with utmost excellency.... He managed to protect Celeste, hopefully getting her another chance in the Red Coat army. His fight with Colonel Fenice also went....almost swimmingly. His goal was to buy some time for Yuki and Nao, in a battle against the Colonel he knew he had no chance...especially in enemy territory...he was glad he got away with...only a dilapidated arm. Unfortunately for the rest of the time on his ship he would only be able to use one arm, he hoped to not encounter anymore high ranked soldiers.
Itaku continued to run about the ship when he finally caught site of Yuki heading down a hallway, he sped up to catch up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Yuki!!!! Your still okay, thank heavens!!! Where is Nao?? Did either of you find the control room yet? I don't know how much longer we have, I surely have pissed off the Colonel on board...we need to hurry!!!" His voice was one of angst and excitement, he was scared but at the same time he was having the time of his life.

Colonel Rajeiia de La Fenice hesitated. After a while, his lips curled upwards into a rather mischievous smile. "Take a rest, Celeste. Or if you really want to work, you could mop the floor."
Rajeiia flipped open a nearby door with the tip of his saber. Strangely, there was a motorcycle behind the door. Rajeiia got on the motorcycle and started up the engine; a loud roar emerged out of the vehicle. Rajeiia saluted to Celeste, then raced off down the hallways of the hovering mothership.
Turning around corners and speeding down halls, Colonel Rajeiia finally found Itaku along with Yuki somewhere on the ship, near the mess hall of the mothership. Rajeiia raised his sword, poised to strike like the Headless Horseman (albeit on a motorcycle). "Leaving so soon?" he called as he neared, about to slash his sword at Itaku.

(I'M HEREEE!)
Lana grinned and pulled out a dagger. It was wiser, because she could get close enough to use her hands if needed. If she used her sword, it would still be of good use, but then she wouldn't be able to get close to her enemy. Lana dodged, and lunged towards Phoenix using one of her own strategies. She left her chest open, so Phoenix could willingly stab her chest, but it would be a great risk for her opponent because they had no way of knowing that Lana could twist. and slit their throat and dodge at the same time.
Myra took in what Greg was saying."I don't want any more deaths either." She spoke softly. Her gaze hardened and turned to Zeno. "I have news that Itaku took two armed Snowtown females on board that mothership we must get them off the aircraft. And if Greg feels that we are to be attacked while the reds are retreating, we will retreat first. We will send medical help to the Snowtown citizens once we have word that the redcoats have left. Do you understand?" She asked Zeno.

The motorcycle...albeit cool was not exactly silent and Itaku heard it before it ever made it him. Quickly without thinking he pushed Yuki out of the way and pulled out his Trench Knives, he quickly tossed one which flew directly on the path of the motorcycle. He pulled out his knife and prepared to parry the colonel's beheading blow. He stayed motionless in the bike's pact, waiting to dodge at the last minute. He had faith that Yuki would do something as well....this girl was far from useless.
" Colonel......I hoped to not meet you so soon, however these things could not be avoided....nice bike to bad it makes such a fuss. If your in a hurry to die.....BRING IT!!!!!!!!" The lieutenant was confident in his abilities in fact he had already planned a few steps ahead.......

Captain Zeno Angha looked at her skeptically. "Commander Myra, as an officer of the Blue Army, I have to protest this order. With all due respect, we cannot risk any more lives to save two Snowtown locals and a Bluecoat officer who should not have taken independent action in the first place.
"Furthermore, madam, it would be impossible to retreat in such a short time with all the dead, wounded, and the Redcoat prisoners we have here."
The trench knife impaled the motorcycle and sent it back against the wall, but before that, Colonel Rajeiia de La Fenice had already jumped out of his motorcycle and somersaulted, slashing midair at Itaku's throat. His blow was deflected by Itaku's knife, and Rajeiia somersaulted backwards, putting some distance in between them. Immediately, Rajeiia thew a knife at Itaku's other shoulder (for one had already been hit by his knife earlier).

" Damn it, you didn't perform as expected. This has grown quite tedious, and I'm very upset that I didn't figure you out completely yet, but if this how you want it.....then I will bring it all to the able......however.......I can work with this...." Itaku quickly parried the knife, he could no longer afford to play around. He was down to one arm....he did have Yuki but what could she do....she was just an ordinary civilian.....oh wait.... The lieutenant began to cackle wildly, he was apparently losing his mind amidst this battle. Although inside his mind a plan was coming together.
Itaku rushed forward after parrying the dagger and slashed out with his one good arm, he immediately spun around and threw a kick at the Colonel's head. The hallways were tight(or so I assume) so combat inside them would be quick and interesting, unless he countered the Colonel would be forced to retreat a bit.
" Let's put on quite the show, Colonel Fenice....." Itaku was smiling underneath his scarf, his blood pumping with the intensity of the battle.

Greg gazed at Myra, a crazy thought in his head. "Commander....you know for a fact I could bring our entire army in a retreat....it only takes two words, and we'd all be teleported back to base, along with the citizens...all of them.." He offered with a small smile. "I'd probably be shot into a coma immedietly following the spell, my energy isn't fully restored yet." he chuckled softly and rubbed the back of his head. "Actually, even with all my energy and any added surplus I'd have, it's a large mass of people Commander....but I could do it." he said, his smile gone, and his face full of seriousness. "Either let me go out and fight, or let me pull us all out."
((this is where she injects some seditive in him and knock him out hahaha))

Phoenix instinctively went for the open spot, but then she hesitated. Lana wasn't commander for nothing; she'd never expose herself so willingly... unless she had something up her sleeve. With an abrupt change of direction, the General moved her dagger attack so it would hit the arm that held Lana's weapon.

Myra shook her head. "No Greg....a spell that powerful will kill you." She said. Myra turned to Zeno and hesitated. "I think Phoenix is there too. I can't leave her." She said glancing up in to Zeno's eyes. "Surely you can understand that." She said.
Lana's eyes widened and she quickly twisted, but not quick enough to avoid a small scrape of Phoenix's knife on her wrist. But she ducked then sprung up with her knife above her head ready to stab it through Phoenix's throat.

The girl saw Lana descending towards her exposed neck and she jumped backwards, but she wasn't fast enough. The dagger stabbed deeply into her collar bone and she cried out in pain. Phoenix slashed blindly, trying to provide a distraction so she could escape. Hot blood began to soak through her uniform and she started to feel a little light headed, but Phoenix stubbornly ignored it and prepared for another attack.
