Giz grimaced to see her troops respond so sluggishly, but at least they had mostly done as she'd commanded. She supposed the best thing to do would be to continue leading by example, and assume they'd get their acts together. She'd had battle dreams before where her troops had ultimately proven to be useless, leaving her to conquer endless onslaught as a one girl army. They usually ended with her being crowned supreme general of the magical legions and all the other girls in school bowing down before her.

Hey, if you weren't gonna live big in your dreams, where would you? She charged forward again, bellowing further orders. This was what it meant to lead.

"Artillery, form up north of the forest! Small arms, defensive screen! Melee take cover in the pavilion, and we'll let 'em come to us! I want a killzone right in front of those lunch tables!"

"Petra?"

Voirrey said as she looked over the rather strange movement. She had not availed herself of some of the advantages of the others powers but she couldn't have known them. One girl, who seemed strangely familiar, rose the ground around her while others traversed the water and flipped eachother around. Now someone was barking orders. Which struck Voirrey as off.

"Why have the gunners before the benches? Don't they need cover as much as us? We'd do better behind them and their lines or cutting their retreat."

Voirrey made a slashing motion with her sword towards the bridge to symbolize severing their life line.

Julia, now completely woken up, went to hide under the table at 13.10. She got prepared for any enemies attacking.

Uh

— Takano Akane —

"I dislike this plan," Akane said in response to Giz's orders under her breath. Controlling the cover in the center was important, but not, in Akane's mind, worth abandoning the first strike for. However, disputing a plan in the middle of a battle would just cause confusion. Now was not a time to argue about what strategy was best, but to make the operation in progress work.

Akane dropped back a bit in order to ensure she couldn't be attacked by their foes on their next move. "Maya, see if you can get their attention. somehow, and try to draw them off toward the hills. Don't engage, just get them out of position and use your speed to withdraw." If the team is likely going to have to weather an assault as they take up positions, we should at least try to make the initial assault less powerful.

Following her remark, Akane braced herself, swinging the carrier on her left shoulder into a ready position.

Counting on you guys

Propeller engines could be heard as Akane's Zeroes materialized and launched off of her deck, circling around her ready to attack or defend.

Akane drops back to 18:09

"First things first, let's make a line and hold it," Prita said to the others. "If we can seize the strong points now, we can then adapt to conditions once they commit themselves to positions. Above all, we want to make sure we hold the pavilion. I'll support anyone on the front line who needs it."

So saying, Prita strode to the center of the pavilion, savoring the view of the battlefield. She was interested to see who would volunteer to be her meat shield front-line defenses.

Prita moves to 12.10.

Seeing the rest move for the tables, Voirrey rushed toward the picnic tables 12.12. It wasn't her plan, but better to work with others than to run off half cocked to the otherside of the field.

"Hmm..." Georgia flew up again to survey her surroundings... Washington would protect her while she hid in the forest, so she would hide there. She moved in, ducking under the treeline at 14.11.

A glance around the battlefield showed that Giz's orders weren't being followed, and the troops were forming themselves up differently than she'd wanted.

"What the Fawkes?" she muttered to herself, stopping short of her intended destination to try and figure out what was going on.

Giz to 11.11. Hannah to 10.09 if Nman doesn't post otherwise.

"Tables!" Lyn cried, confirming her next course of action as she sprinted towards 12.11. With the power of her defensive ability backing her, Lyn got into a defensive posture, ready for anything that might come her way.

Magda flew over the ground and to the edge of the 'forest' area, inasmuch as a few decorative trees could count as a forest. She grabbed Al as she flew, before carefully depositing the other girl at the pavilion and landing behind one of the benches. She pointed her gun-arm over the top, waiting for the monsters to move.

Al to 11.09, Magda to 12.09

"Hey wait the fight's that way!" Hannah called as she saw Akane running back.

"Oh well!" she said as she skipped forwards.

Hannah heading over to 13.09.

Julia realized that her hills would hinder her friends, so she made plans to fall backwards.

Erica continued running until an inconveniently placed large rock challenged her foot to a duel. It was a dare of titanic proportions, the likes of which the world had never seen before. An immovable object was being confronted with an unstoppable force.

That unstoppable force turned out to be not so unstoppable when Erica tripped and was sent flying in a way a Water Magical Girl was never meant to. She tumbled impressively in the air for moment before landing on her back on the grass just on front of the brush around the pavilion.

"Ow."

Dizzy for a moment, Erica managed to get back up on her feet. Beside her was someone who looked a lot like a senior girl called Giz, if she remembered right. "I meant to to that!" Erica insisted to the Dream Giz as Dream Hope came up behind her a few moments later.

No sooner did the words leave her lips did were shots fired again by the monsters. They drove themselves right into the girls, firing and swinging their massive arms like clubs.

"What a century this week has been." - Seung Min Kim

"Haha, serves you right!" Hannah teased after her counterattack hit the enemy.

"Now take this!" she yelled as she swung her sling, and aimed at the enemy that had tried to hurt her earlier.

Nuking the mofo at 12.08.

Admittedly, the other girls would probably hate julia for what she was about to do. Julia had never been hurt with actual malicious intent, (not counting bullies) so after letting out an exceptionally high shout, she ran away. Julia dashed away, going to the riverbank. There she watched the battle from afar, praying her hills wouldn't affect them.

Julia to 15.12

Uh

Prita headpalmed. How could this group of incompetents mess up such a simple command as 'hold the line'? Her position, from which he had intended to back up the more combat-minded of the girls, had suddenly become the front line, as the enemies had come bounding onto the tables.

Well, it will just make me look better in comparison in the final evaluation, she consoled herself. Still, she hated to see things go to hell like this.

Aloud, she yelled, "I'm dropping back...but only if someone else is going to take my place. Any volunteers?" At the same time, she made very definite eye contact with Giz, Voirrey, and Georgia.

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

Georgia looked on in horror as the enemy combatants fired on her fellow Magical Girls. "Don't worry, girls! We got this!" Georgia took a knee, sighted down her rifle, and fired. As she pulled the trigger, a beam of light lanced from the barrel and streaked towards the enemy at 12.09.

"Owowowowowowow! This is almost as bad as the battle of Granicus!

Pointing at random, she can't actually distinguish her attacker from the mob, so she settles on the one closest.

"You'll pay for this!"

Al-pawnches enemy at 09.07

"I'dha done it if it weren't for the last one retreating," Voirrey said grunting as she drewing her blade.

Looking at the confused line, she savoured the silence and confusion of the battle and focused, she charged forward, "Kentoc'h mervel eget bezañ saotret! Eomp!*

"

Magda kept her eyes on the approaching monsters as she aimed her gun at them, waiting for her chance. Suddenly, one of the ones at the edge of the forest shot its gun at her. In surprise, she jerked to the side, narrowly missing the attack and returning fire from her gun-arm. She regained her balance quickly, taking stock of the situation - two already on the bench-forts, one right inside of Haley's range, and it looked like a few of her classmates had taken damage. Magda glanced at Haley - she didn't really know the upperclassmen, but she doubted that the girl's guns could hit at that close range. Magda aimed her own weapon at the monster, launching reddish bolts of light from the muzzle.

Magda attacks the guy at 10.09

Giz watched, mouth agape, as not one, but two enemy combatants were allowed to enter the pavilion. Where was the defensive line she'd ordered?! She hoped this dream would last past the battle so she could chew out her incompetent underlings before waking up.

In the meantime, the most important thing was to stop more enemy troops from getting into the makeshift fortress. Charging into the flowerbeds on the west side of the pavilion, she lunged at an enemy trying to enter the lunching area, throwing all of her 143 pounds into her spear thrust.

"Take that one behind me!" she shouted over her shoulder, hoping that her bumbling cronies could at least get that much right. As for her, she needed to focus on stopping the enemy advance on their flank.

Giz to 10.10, attack 10.09.

Lyn's mouth went wide open as she saw Hope take a big hit. She gulped in anticipation as she saw her own assailant approach her. The gun went off. Lyn ducked her head, feeling the wind being cut above her graze her hair.

Taking a step back, she looked at her own comrades behind her. "Here we go..." Lyn muttered under her breath as she prepared to make her run. She made her way through 12.12, 11.12, 10.12, and 10.11 before stopping on 11.11.

Looking at the enemy before her, Lyn gave a malevolent smile as she cracked her knuckles. It didn't really make a sound, but the point was clear: It's payback time. She took a step back, and delivered a roundhouse kick to her opponent.
