-Quartz manages to maneuver around the formation, though it takes a few seconds-
-Lovisia, in the meanwhile, charges one of the bots with her greatclub out... the bot is momentarily overwhelmed, and spends a second pointing to Lovisia and alerting the rest of its robot friends-
-Enough time for Lovisia to close range, and for everyone else to get some free kicks in-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Longram: *With a clear view with one bot's center of mass, he squeezes the trigger. Out of the modded barrel is a holoshot but instead of a speeding mess of holo cubes like in the previous missions, it's a bright spinning focused comet that's about to give that robot a really really bad day.*

-Lovisia strikes first, her greatclub coming down into the first of the robosoldiers as it tries to raise its rifle. Unfortunately for the robosoldier, however, its designers didn't build it with the edge case of "smacked by a giant club being wielded by an 8 foot tall demon woman" in mind, and the greatclub proceeds to utterly mess the robot's shit up. Sparks fly, and you can see its torso actually warp and bend around the point of impact as it is flung directly into one of its friends at unsafe velocity-
-While the bot you're aiming for isn't killed by its friend hitting it, the flailing, seizing mess ramming into it does manage to sever one of its arms at the shoulder, and one of its legs at the knee, and Robosoldier 2 drops to the ground, disarmed in multiple ways and with only a single leg to stand on-
-Longram's Holorifle shot rings true. It might be slow to fire due to its need to manually cycle the action, but the holographic round that comes out blows Robosoldier 3 away, hitting the robot right in its center of mass and burning away half its chest. The dead robot falls to the ground, holoflames still licking at its corpse and carrying metal shavings away from it-
-While Rostam isn't within engagement range, the katanamancer manages to make it just as the robosoldier he's targeting raises his rifle. It doesn't seem too impressed by your war cry, but at least you've made it within striking distance-
-Quartz, your efforts to stay unnoticed don't go unrewarded. The robots don't even seem to notice that you exist as they start wildly shooting at just about anyone they can target, having been taken by surprise by the group-
-Ironscales, you're in much the same situation as Rostam. You haven't hit them yet, but you've approached one poor robot idiot and he's only just started to react. Given how thick your scales are, though, these piddly rifles probably wouldn't have done much more than irritate you anyways-
-Three down, nine to go-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Longram: *Felt satisfied that the focus optics modded onto his China-Lake rifle worked out properly, he ejected a spent fusion cell with a pump before shifting focus from one bot to the next, another that hasn't clashed with any of his comrades yet. He does the same verse as before, another scoped shot, center mass.*

-Lovisia charges without being molested, shots flying by her as the robots get their collective shit in a bag. Robosoldier #2, for its part, is just trying to crawl its way over to the rifle it dropped. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite get to do that as Lovisia brings her club right down on its torso, splitting it apart and making the magic smoke start leaking out-
-Guess that rock won't be thinking again any time soon-
-Rostam, it's a good thing your katana's a lot sharper than an earthling one would be. Your slice goes right through its shoulder, passes through its flak jacket, and carves right into its body. You don't quite cut it in half, but given how much it's sparking and jittering, and how it is no longer attempting to kill you or do anything else, you have probably murdered it to death-
-Ironscales's deathclaw shreds right through his target, and gets flung at another robot soldier. This has roughly the same effect as Lovisia's throw; it's not an out-and-out kill, but, well... Lieutenant Dan ain't got no legs-
-Quartz remains in stealth, none of the robot soldiers noticing him as he sneaks up on one successfully. What are you going to do with that chain, Sempai?-
- Guy 's bomb potion does exactly what it was alchemically engineered to do. The robot soldier it was thrown at tries to run, but the potion glass shatters and the alchemical mix detonates, blasting all the robot's limbs off and messing up all the delicate electronics inside it-
-Albert's rifle aim is true. The robosoldier he's gun dualing with loses the gun dual and is riddled with a couple of holes; the machine sparks for a few moments, before its limbs finally lose the Physics War and the dead robot falls over-
-Longram's second shot meets with roughly the same effect as the first. Another comet sails out, another robot gets blasted. This one hits a bit up and to the left, but that merely results in the robot's arm getting violently dismembered as half its chest ceases to exist, more pixelfire burning. Let's hope the forest doesn't catch-
-The forest is now a hell of a lot quieter, but the three remaining robots that can actually shoot have finally gotten their shit in a bag. Two of them backpedal and start firing on Ironscales as one of them tracks its aim over towards Lovisia-
-Eight down, four to go-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Suzu sighs when every one charges in, and takes cover sliding her mask over her face-
-And Shoganchan roars to life-
-And begins dashing twords the closest not-engaged bot-
-Firing a 37mm APCR round, at it-
-Even if that is behind a tree, or other form of light cover-

Longram: *With 2 bots down and noticing that the battle's in his team's favor, he retrieved his spent cells then stores them into his hip mounted storage binders. He moves on forward to a better firing spot then starts reloading, a professional dominant-hand load that stuffs the rifle's magazine tube with 2 cells.*
-*Personally, he's worried that his 2nd overkill would start a forest fire.*

-Suzu, you manage to duck behind a tree. Congrats! Given how kill-happy your friends are, you're probably not going to die today. Or get hurt at all.-
-Rostam, you charge towards Ironscales as the lizard runs in a serpentine pattern, managing to fool these robots' targeting sensors as they try to track it. They both make a break for it to tactically reposition... but one of them gets snagged by Quartz and gets 50,000 volts straight to the robo-nipples. It jerks and flings about like a Garry's Mod ragdoll, and when the draconic man cuts the voltage, it falls limp-
-The other one manages to successfully make it behind a tree to take cover... but that's where Shogun-chan comes in, a giant fucking robot, with an equally big fucking gun. The tree trunk can't entirely protect your target from the 37mm shell you just fired at it, and the round passes all the way through the tree, the concussion of its impact splitting the bark apart and causing most of the tree to fall-
-The APCR round is slowed by its travel through the tree trunk - but not enough to remove lethality as it rams directly into the robot and violently rips its torso away from everything else it's connected to. If a tree falls in the forest, but the robot that took cover behind it is currently a pile of limbs on the ground in front of the tree's splintered stump, does it make a sound?-
-Sounds like it-
-Longram passes the active reloading minigame and now has a full gun again. Yay!-
-Lovisia, you fuckin' did it, girl! That robot is so dead that its funeral will need to have a funeral! It looks like there's only two targets left; the one robot that is now shooting at you, its aim dead center, and another one that is legless and trying to crawl away from the one Ironscales threw at it-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Ironscales, the robot keeps trying to crawl. It knows you're there, but at this point, what else can it do?-
-With all but one target disabled, it is at this moment that the rover from before enters the scene. Drifting past a cluster of trees, you can hear that it's playing some sort of upbeat J-pop music. The rover's gun turret locks onto the robot shooting at Lovisia, and you hear "DO YOU LIKE... MY CAR!" before the autocannon opens up and introduces it to everyone's friend, Mr. Explosion-
-Needless to say, the robot is torn into flakes-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

-As you look into the forest you see a couple of them walking about-
-Robot soldiers
. They look very sharp and aggressively designed... and they also don't particularly look like anything special. Nothing that stands out about them, not even their armament. They scream "standard issue".-
-There's about twelve of them, scattered around the forest. They don't seem to have noticed you yet, but it looks like they will very soon-
