Hell, you can probably have a mech suit, this is a machina base. Just steal some unnamed NPC's ride. It just won't be a super de dooper awesome one.

I'll allow it. It just won't be shiny and new.

@Lmpkio@floodtalon So, I wrote up this post, but then realized you may not want to be auto-hugged, or may have your own plans for defense. Any conflicts here, or we good?Miyu, Traitor Angel Honorless Blade
Miyu has left the battlefield!Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie
The bunny ears warned Artoria of impending danger, meaning that her entire trip down, she could charge up defensive power. While Eos redirected her ice spike, created an anti-teleport field, sped up her own forces so fast they could not be followed even by someone with Ira's speed, and then creating an attack, all Artoria had to do was charge up her defense.
As the swords tried to collapse on Henry, Artoria, and Mephila, they'd find all of themselves stopped and destroyed by a Shield of Unholy Misery boosted Laguna AT field. The swords which previously would have been advantaged by their holy enhancement were now disadvantaged, and matched against the mighty shield of a Laguna. One that Artoria had charged with at least four times as much focus as Eos had done for hers. In general, you could render an attack unblockable, or undodgeable, but not both, without such a power advantage that one had to wonder why there was still a battle at all. And while Eos' powers allowed her to largely ignore the Machina > Angel > Demon > Machina triangle, so did Artoria's, mixing energies and abilities of all types.
But perhaps Eos' power was enough to break through nonetheless? Despite type advantage, despite focus advantage, despite having longer to charge up, perhaps Eos was simply too strong for her. But Artoria would also still not give up! Not for unity. Not to prove the demons power or darkness' not being light-able or stuff like that. Not for lost memories certainly. But not even to turn people into cute monster girls, or because Lucille was scary (she was). It was because from that ceiling, when Ruxen had pointed out Taura to her, Artoria had seen Hohenheim. Hohenheim! Hohenheim.. This was her chance to impress Hohenheim, to finally get her eyes upon her! If she could defeat EOS of all people, surely Hohenheim would acknowledge her feelings? Or at least, talk dismissively at her again?
In the scenario where Eos was too strong for her barrier, Artoria would pull Mephila and Henry close for a rather boob-a-rific hug between the three of them and their different heights, shielding them with her own body, activating her strongest physical and holy defensive abilities.

When you post this Henry will be contributing by erecting a silver barrier around them to add to defense. Though he will not know how to feel about being hugged by someone so much bigger than he is. Correct me if I'm wrong but Artoria is 9 feet tall? That's like, double the height of Henry almost.
@floodtalon Artoria is actually shorter than Mephila. Still taller than Henry because he is exceptionally smol. Artoria'd be shapeshiting her arms to be larger to cover more ground, but it's basically going to go Henrietta -> Artoria boob | Artoria -> Mephila boob | Mephila -> Why me?
@Lmpkio Oh, I have such surprises for Zeruel...
And I think they'd remain surprises. There's not exactly any angels inside to see that happen right now.
I like how Team Machina are all "We will preserve in the face of darkness and do the impossible! You will not overcome humanity!" drama and the "darkness" Team Demon is all like "Cute girl boob hug" comedy.

If this was a clever RP, I'd say each Faction is a symbolic representation of their respective anime stereotypes and while the Machina side features stories of deep morality and themes of humanity, the Demons focus on whacky, goofy light-hearted genre tropes.
But this isn't a clever RP.
