Ender hovered high above the battle, simply watching.

James fired the remaining bullet at the missile which had turned, as it was moving away from him now, it should be an easier target to hit than one that was moving laterally opposed to his position.

With a quick movement, he dropped the clip out of the weapon and pulled another from the briefcase, slapping it in against the weapon.

Now he took aim... assuming that Stryphe could handle the two just launched as he had with the others. James aimed towards the metal 'head' of the robot, looking for some type of eye or camera which would be used as a targetting device for those missiles...

He heard one explosion- James had taken out one missile. And the other? As he continued his dash towards the machine, which was trying desperately to maintain range while firing, a quick glance to the sky told him nothing.

Someone would have to deal with it. He was running his fastest to close the distance, and would stop for nothing.

Edit: He took a moment to fire more energy spheres at the new skyward missiles, hoping to take them out.

The sound of a roaring engine.

And then a black and silver blur, speeding at about 50mph directly towards Artillery. Seemingly on a collision course.

And Allen on the motorcycle, smirking somewhat as he finally catches up with his group and moves in.

Alber was several feet behind Stryphe, flinching a little at the explosions. The roar of a motorcycle told him that help had arrived. Smirking, he quickened his pace.

Artillery had no head to speak of. It launched a full volley of four RPGs, tilting its body so that its top faced towards Sey's spears of light, attempting to destroy the magic attack.


[Results]

The area around Artillery was engulfed in the combined explosion of the four missiles, and when the smoke cleared, the robot featured a series of dents, and one long tear, in the top of its armor. Seemingly dazed, it tried to back away from its attackers, but it couldn't speed up in time to escape them.

Abel was lucky enough not to have any missles following him. Which was good considering he relied entirely on his teamates to take care of them.

The advantage he had was his knowlage of machines, the closer he got the more he studied. Anything would help, structural integrity, what type of spotting system it used for the missles or how it moved.

Anna, eyes closed, cast a grin at Sey, then began murmuring a prayer to St. Michael. Her voice rose in volume, and with a final angry "Angelus Invictus!" a fiery aura burst into life around her.

Kicking Yves' flanks and clapping her visor down, rider and steed charged towards the machine. She reached back to unsheath her monster of a sword, bearing down on the artillery.

So artillery didn't have a dicernable 'eye' to recognize threats or targets... nor did it have any cameras mounted upon its frame with which to do so... wonderful.

How the hell did this thing see?

James cast a glance towards his other briefcase, not wanting to open that one just yet, but thinking it may be necessary.

Alber was in reach now. He ran to the left of Stryphe, throwing his sword forward but keeping a grip. The blade extended, flying towards the middle of Artillery, fast enough for a hard direct blow.

"STRYPHE, ALBER LOOK OUT!"

Sey broke her group of 10 spheres into 2 and sent 5 spheres of light forward, making a wall between her comrades and the missile while she still ran to catch up. With a point of her staff, her 5 remaining spheres joined with the other 5 that were on their collision course with the missiles Artillery had just shot off.

Artillery was clearly designed for a wide variety of terrain with it's four legs, and the loss of just one would render it completely immobile. For that same reason, it couldn't easily use its legs as weapons for fear of losing its balance. Other than that, its outside seemed to be entirely about armor.

Alber's blade slid into Artillery's armor with a 'thunk'- not enough to penetrate the armor completely, but it was well in there by now.

Artillery launched four more missiles from its slots, which arced downwards, apparently trying to attack the area around the robot without actually hitting the robot itself.

...and the bike is still moving fast on a collision course. Though apparently the robot hasn't noticed the blur of metal about to slam into it.

Allen, of course, decides to go all out with this. And activates his extra propulsion, jumping his speed up to about 150mph, before calling his wings and taking to the air as he lets his bike crash into the robot.

Dropping her reins to take the hilt of her blade in both hands, she directed Yves with her knees. Hours and hours of practice had horse and rider move as one, to the machine.

The horse veered, avoiding her teammates, and Anna closed in. She leaned over in the saddle and swung her sword in a vicious arc into the side of the robot not being assaulted with Allen's motorcycle. Righteous Fury fueled Anna's already impressive strength, and the five feet of tempered steel reflected that.

Sey ran like no white mage had ever run before.

Skidding to a halt, far enough from any apparent danger, Sey saw Anna zoom by her in Yves and let her gaze follow to the legs of the machine..


"ALBER NO!!!"


Screaming as she saw her friend in danger, Sey rushed forward again and concentrated on his body, comforted slightly when she realized his barriers hadn't been broken yet. It was just James...

"I knew I shouldn't have had that last marshmellow before leaving..." She said, huffing and running a little closer.
