Ty was doing his absolute best to figure out how to purloin a tetrapod while standing behind Isaac. First, he would have to get around the Clockie, and that by itself was a difficult proposition. Luckily, his problems were solved by the massive deceleration of the hovertruck. He managed to keep himself relatively stable and jumped out while still putting on his weapons, not having noticed any sort of tremendously-ranged projectiles. He licked his lips and sought out the nearest usable raider. He was going to remove the driver's hamstrings and take that little machine for a spin...
He also kept his eye on the mechanical dinosaur that had suddenly appeared. It seemed like another fun ride, but oh, the tetrapods would be better. Nevermind a lack of experience; he was in it for the thrill.

Tanto, satisfied at the kill, turned to the next available Raider and fired some Chaos at it. After, of course, shouting, "Ice cream sundae!"
---
Isaac surely had training for this, but he was too flustered at the arrival of so many new faces. Luckily, the velocisphere was slowing the strike at his leg, so he fired a jet of boiling-hot steam into the Raider's face from his own arm before jumping back, then forward again with an X-slash.

In response, Cassandra shouted, "Incoming!" and dived out of the way of the attacker. To her credit, she was pretty good at getting herself out of the way, if not getting the enemy out of the way.

Yarah turned around to find the guy about to attack him. He ducked the swing to his head and in return punched the guy in the face - he used the arm that was holding the shield. If the guy did not have his head sliced off from the sharp edge of the shield, then he surely had a huge gash going half way into his face.
"Thanks," he curtly told Cassandra. Again he started running to find another injured. At least she warned me about the Raider rather than run off.

Edward rolled sideways away from the blast, rising to his feet and rushing the tetrapod; in the conditions of the velocisphere, he could catch up to the tetrapod unless it fled directly away from him, and that didn't seem like the sort of thing a Desert Raider was likely to do.

Ty's endeavor met a predictable fate; while a deft slice ensured his ownership of the vehicle, his incomplete slaying of the Raider resulted in the crippled man being able to take revenge by activating a self-destruct switch, tapping a code into a keypad to detonate each of the propulsion pods and the core.
Even at 16 miles per hour, shrapnel remained shrapnel, and that was before his (16 mph) impact with the ground was to even be factored in. A grim smile remained on the face of the Raider, hidden beneath his wrappings, as he passed out from blood loss due to the severed arteries.
--
Tanto's target collapsed into a puddle of...
Of something.
Something vaguely sundae-ish, maybe.
To a blind man experiencing full-body numbness, maybe.
Suffice it to say, the spot where it remained was avoided by the combatants.
--
The goggles and wrapping of the Raider Isaac had attacked could stand up to sandstorms; a steam burst was of little consequence, fogging of the goggles notwithstanding. He remained able to intercepted the X-slash with his stun baton, causing all of Isaac's muscles and machinery to briefly seize up from the force of the current.
--
Yarah found his strike deflected, though the force of the blow threw the Raider back. He responded by reaching within an opening in the layering and grabbing a smoke bomb, which he promptly used for the only thing smoke bombs are really good for. Yarah discovered the smoke blocked his third eye from seeing much of anything - it was mana-infused smoke, not designed to have any effect, but merely to make matters difficult for anyone and anything relying on magic-based senses.
--
The Raider Edward confronted "kited" him, backing up and firing as he retreated.
Until he backed up into a demon-minor geomancer, who launched him into the air on an earthen pillar, at least.

"Okay, now I'd suggest we get somewhere safe," Cassandra requested. "I can't see, and I'm sure neither can you, and you're swinging swords around, and I'd really like to not be killed by one, especially not by my teammate." Cassandra began backing out, heading for the truck she had been at. Unfortunately, she had no idea which direction it actually was, so she ended up stopping before she had even gone a few steps.

Tanto nodded, mostly satisfied. Glancing over to see Isaac struggling with a Raider, Tanto lumbered along behind the Raider and slashed surprisingly quickly at its exposed back.
---
Isaac, on the other hand, tried to focus again enough to avoid getting killed. He brought his swords back up to defend.

The woman was too chatty for his taste - especially when they were currently blinded by the smoke. You think she'd be quiet since the next best way to find someone in smoke is through sound. With a sigh, he started to focus on his environment. No, he couldn't see, but he could still hear. His training for being a battle medic also meant learning how to block everything but the essential out - now he just had to wait for the Raider to attack (the man was bound to make some sort of sound when about to attack).

Uh-oh. Ty didn't really even have time to register that thought as he was blown off the machine, shrapnel slashing at his exposed frame. He wondered why he hadn't killed the Raider. Too greedy. Stupid move.
More than slightly dazed, he realized he was on the ground, not too far from the Raider who had nearly killed him, and losing consciousness. Ty was leaking blood fast, struggling to draw air into his lungs, and fighting to correct his swimming vision, but all the same, he launched himself at the still-breathing, unconscious Raider and made mince meat of his throat. The boy didn't have anything left after that, though. He blacked out on the battlefield, trickles of blood criss-crossing his small frame.

Yarah felt a bullet slam into his shield; he dropped instinctively into a stance to block it, a wise move that protected both him and Cassandra - who was directly behind him in relation to the bullets - from several more rounds.
--
The raider deftly brought his stun baton against Isaac's blades at a slight upward angle, inhuman strength throwing Isaac back as his muscles seized up again. Tanto's blades came down against the stun rod as well, but his form was not as vulnerable to electricity; nonetheless, the block did (narrowly) allow the Raider to avoid harm. He shoved the baton upwards and dodged between Tanto's legs, rising behind the demon-major and driving the baton at its back.

Isaac groaned and fell back a few steps as Tanto took over, more or less.
The small man took the hit to the back, causing him to lose focus on his form and shift into his gigantic demonic form. The ancient Demon spun before the Raider could withdraw, whipping a long, spiky-armored forearm straight at the Raider's face, above the baton.
Even if he was electrocuted, logically he would still hit the Raider with enough force to probably shatter his neck.

The Raider hesitated and jumped; as the great fist came against him, he shoved off of it, his whole body flying several feet; Tanto could feel the spiked armor had not penetrated the wrappings. The Raider ran his hand across the baton and a hum began to come from it; Tanto could feel, even from as far as he was, that a Cypher was being activated in it.
