Me and duth aren't finished with our collab, but it seems they've been predisposed for a bit, so I'm posting what we got right now.

From Illios’ dive to dodge his assailant, he saw that another person performed the same action. Illios looked up quickly and then back to the one diving with him, ”Hey! Name’s Illios!” Maybe they could help each other out.

Albie didn't respond to Illios immediately as he was distracted by the sounds of the two contestants getting hit by Snyder's attack thanks to his dodging. He felt a bit guilty about getting them involved but he had no choice and still felt like he couldn't let Snyder pass.

"I'm Albie, nice of you to drop in." Albie would have facepalmed if he wasn't holding onto his broom, this wasn't the time for bad jokes.

Illios would have laughed to that response, yet he began to feel a great deal of heat spread across his back, at first he thought it was the sun, until the pain made his body scream out. It stopped moments after yet he could not stop himself from yelling out, ”AH!”

Illios winced as he pulled out from the dive and looked back to Bryant who was still chasing, he turned to Albie. Seeing they were both in a similar situation, he thought that maybe teaming up will be useful. Illios called out to Albie, ”Hey! Wanna help each other with our problems?”

To his surprise Illios wanted to team up, an offer Albie wasn't going to refuse given his condition. "Not gonna lie, I can use the help." he responded, desperately trying to generate enough mana to stop falling and pull up as well. "Fair warning though I'm almost out of mana."

Illios gave a winced chuckle to Albie, ”I’m not too much better”. Illios continued to fly as he lifted one of his hands and said, ”But if we keep away from acid boy we can focus on glass guy!” Illios focused his mana into his hand, and began to fire bolts of golden light at the glass that began to descend upon the both of them. With the high speed of Illios’ magic bolts, they flew with enough force and energy to intercept the glass. Melting the glass completely as it came near and stopping what would be more painful attacks.

"Another fire user?" Albie assumed since Illios's blasts were melting Snyder's glass, but he didn't have much time to think about the coincidence that both people he teamed up with used the same kind of magic. "Guess I'll have to handle the offense this time." Albie formed a magic bullet, going for a beam this time. Instead of aiming at Snyder himself Albie fired at his broom again, hoping to do enough to make it unusable.

The two of them began to fire out at Snyder, one to defend themselves and their momentary ally from the enraged noble’s terrible wrath. Meanwhile, the other deftly struck out at the angered noble. It was not in retaliation, but in an act to sabotage his ability to chase them. The bolt landed cleanly as his broom began to shake and wobble under him. Yet it did not stop him in his pursuit.

Yet that wasn’t their only issue, Bryant continued to chase them as he tried to strike out at them with his nasty acid magic. Bryant was a much tougher one to escape, his acid attacks were not only hard to defend against but also to get around. Acid burns were not easily escaped and to make Bryant leave would be more difficult. His Acid magic was quite powerful, being used in a defensive manner, he is able to coat any attack in acid, either melting it or weighing it down and making it miss.

Illios and Albie however did not allow themselves to be taken out easily, They constantly dashed around upon their brooms and lashed back with their own magics. Using bolts of energy to try and make space and defend themselves from more attacks. Their combined efforts allowed for the both of them to survive the constant onslaught that they found themselves under. And after a few minutes, it felt as if they were left alone, as a few moments later they heard a yell ring out across the arena.

"ALL CONTESTANTS, CEASE FIRE! THE THIRD TRIAL HAS ENDED! I REPEAT, THE THIRD TRIAL HAS ENDED! RETURN TO THE ARENA FLOOR!"

Illios let out a cheer, ”YES!” He was happy that he had made it with his prize. He flew over to Albie as he raised a hand for a high five, ”We did it!”

Tarak nodded to himself as he listened to the briefing. Quietly allowing for the Colonel to speak. They could free the many they had taken and held up. It would not save those who were already lost. Yet this was the chance they could have to unshackle themselves. To free themselves from the fear of prisoners. To take away cards. And targets.

As voices around him spoke, people asking questions and answers being given, Tarak's mind was quiet. It replayed the information again and again. Calculating the targets and finding priorities. He began to feel a slow itching spread up his back as he looked off to the middle distance.

Targets.

Countless targets.

A garrison filled with hundreds of fighting men and women. Small arms are the worst they could field within them. Nothing a mech needs to worry about. Yet enough to stop the whole reason for this operation. Yet was also far enough from the start of the action to not be an easily accessible target. A comm tower that will call in air support. Not only will this risk the downing of mechs but also the vehicles meant to move the prisoners. A much higher priority, yet they would have enough time to move from one objective to the next with the comm tower not being an immediate threat. Pillboxes, each one fielded with machine guns that would slowly wear at light armor and tear apart soft targets. Each one is small and not able to perform much on their own. Each one is easily dealt with on the way to deal with other threats. Best to stamp them out like ants.

Missiles, countless missiles, a hill filled with them and enough terrible power to probably level a Lance within moments if left unattended. Most likely taking how they had been attacked by the Fire Witch before, it is a higher priority as missiles will constantly bombard them. 2 Laser turrets each with fielded with enough power to rival some mechs. Each one has Large lasers and AC/2's able to drop its payload within moments. One of these could easily rip apart the Phoenix Hawk and a few other mechs if they are caught in their ire. Yet there is one target that is higher in priority. A power plant that would knock out not just the heavy turrets but the missiles as well. There was a high incentive that made this one of the biggest and main target. It would drop multiple targets at once.

Tarak nodded to himself for a few moments longer, as he began to lightly itch the back of his neck. Looking around as he listened to the others, as when his callsign was spoken he looked to the Colonel and nodded before he lightly nudged Ingrid and said jokingly, "Looks like we're going to be dancing in the fire again". He then looked around for a moment before he said this time a small smirk on his face, "Hopefully you won't be too stiff for it, Ramrod".

Men and women scattered across the open yard of an unknown and otherwise unimportant scrapyard. Many spoke in loud whispers as they spread the news. If they did not hear it from the roar of the Colonel, then it came from the words of men and women who are chomping at the bit. The sleeping were brought to alertness within moments. The drowsy had a shot of adrenaline from those words. For those who could not sleep, found themselves fully rested.

The solid thumping of Tarak's boots began to resound through his ears. He was quickly trying to put on a shirt as he could hear around him. There were those who were scrambling to be prepared. Some were taking drinks from their water to try and clear their throats from the dry air, others splashed it on their face to wake themselves up. He could hear people scrambling to get their boots on and others trying to not be overwhelmed before the briefing.

Tarak fully tightened his belt as he entered for the briefing. He saw within people already abuzz, waiting for the briefing, and even saw Ingrid, more excited about this briefing than everyone combined. He lightly patted Ingrid's shoulder, making sure she did not touch her back where they had all taken lashings, "Keep the enthusiasm-", Tarak then threw her a smile as he continued, "-it suits you". After which he gave Marit a nod as he said, "Let's hope it stays easy, you know?"

The Things We Fight For

Character Sheet

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B A S I C I N F O [Name] Adrith Ashford [Callsign] Scorch [Gender] Male [Age] 26 [Rank and Designation] E-6 - Petty Officer First Class [Place of Birth] Sentinel Prime [Official Statement] "Why do I fight? Because its right. Because I always dreamed to. And, if I don't. Then who'll be there to save the magic girls from the big bad monsters?" C O M B A T A B I L I T Y [Mech Model] SO1-Dawn Breaker [Type] Experimental Multi-purpose Anti-armor mech with crowd control and aerial capabilities [Size] 40 feet tall and 20 metric tons unloaded and 45 metric tons fully loaded [Core] 1 Epsilon Class & 1 Beta Class [Armaments] SO1-Day Break Cannon- Hider A shoulder-mounted experimental Magnetic Acceleration Cannon powered with a beta Core meant solely for the cannon. Often times a weapon like this is seen upon larger star ships, this experimental weapon was made to bring the devastating power used by those ships directly to the battlefield. Little to no armor short of fortified walls fit to withstand orbital bombardment is able to withstand prolonged fire from this weapon. This cannon, with all its power, is able to fire multiple payloads, which include: Sabot-A fin-stabilized tungsten rod meant to pierce through any hard material. Flechette-A bundle of many small metal darts that are meant to scatter across a wide area and obliterate anything they touch. High Explosive-A metal projectile filled with high explosives that will pierce a target and explode a moment later. H3L-Shielded Heavy Arm- Hider A shield mounted on the left arm that is able to take a heavy beating. Yet that is not all, connected to the shield is a set of twin rotary cannons able to fire thousands of rounds within moments. Yet that is not the only trick attached to the shield, as when it is time to get close and personal, the shield is able to deploy a heated pile that is able to punch through any hard material with ease. And if the shield is ever heavily damaged, it can be detached to lessen the load. S4N-Sky Burner Jets- A specialized propulsion system that gives this mech its firey look. This propulsion system originates from multiple points across the mech to both exhaust heat quickly and has multi-directional propulsion. This setup gives the mech both high speed and maneuverability to close the distance against any target. G4Z-Rain Maker- A set of specialized missile pods that are loaded with multiple different projectiles they can fire: High Explosive Missiles- High explosive missiles, carry a strong enough payload to destroy small structures on their own. Smoke- Multiple smoke canisters launch out and create a wide area smoke screen to obscure vision. Flares- An analog countermeasure against heat-guided projectiles, not very viable with the current era of technology. Paint- An impractical ammunition type that has paint stored within metal cannisters. The Pilot swears by them.

Profile [Surface-level Impression] Standing at 6’4 and having a large imposing frame. He has a nice tan, bright golden eyes, and a well-worked body. He does have a very noticeable scar spanning the left side of his face that goes from his forehead down to his lower cheek. Jovial and strong-willed, Adrith laughs loud and lives life to the fullest. Both figuratively and literally, he is a figure who lives larger than life and is not one to stray from conflict and not one to let his thoughts be unknown. [Personal History] Adrith grew up in a loving home, his family was well off, his father was a famous pilot, and his mother was a well-known officer. He learned from a young age, to stand up for others, fight for what you believe in, and his father's favored motto: "Leave nothing to what ifs". He followed his father's footsteps, to the protest of his mother. When he was 15 his father enrolled him into the pilot program. With a little nepotism pushing him higher yet also shadowing his own work, Adrith soared. A natural talent and one who comes from a well-known family, Adrith was given every opportunity to show his worth. During these years, Adrith pushed and soared past many within his training year. Yet not one to look to himself, he worked with others, encouraged and even attempted to uplift them. As it was in these years he learned camaraderie and friendship. He learned how to fight and for those around him, what they fight for. Once he came out of training, it was into the fire. Engagement to engagement, he fought and showed his mettle. Then his number came up. When a single pilot comes face to face with a Bishop, what can they do? They could run, leaving their fellow man behind as they escape. Men and women fought by their side, supporting them in an attempt to allow the Constellation to take on the barriers. Leaving them to die to allow the military machinery to be saved. But Adrith never thought of that for a second. Rushing headlong, he faced the Bishop in combat. He was never going to win. But he needed to buy those with him time. The men and women who fielded the small arms, vehicles, and weapons to clear more of the hoard. They would not survive long if left with the Bishop. Neither would Adrith, yet he never thought of that. He fought like a savage, he could do nothing, but buy time. And with all the time he bought, a Constellation came and defeated the Bishop. Adrith was left on death's door, yet once taken back to safety, he was healed. Being given accommodations for his bravery, he was given paid leave. Which he took to visit family, and where he learned about a new experimental weapon program from his father. Through his mother's and father's connections, he was able to join the program and gain the SO1- Dawn Breaker. Sentinel Prime [Planet Description] Sentinel Prime is a world much similar to the early recordings of Earth within the Sol system. A Core world outside of the Milky Way that is relatively safe and well-off, Sentinel Prime is one of the largest manufacturers of flight chip modules. While nothing of great note is otherwise produced within the world, it is a world that has had a staggering rise in recruitment for military service. [Culture] The culture of Sentinal Prime is steeped in patriotism. As one of the earlier Core worlds settled by humanity, it has a rich history that has stood the test of time. Having first been an agricultural world colonized with essentially debt slaves it was turned into a manufacturing world. Sentinal Prime wanted to be something more than just a place where people slaved away. The planet and its denizens wished to redefine itself and define its existence on its own. The planet flipped itself overnight, people took to the streets as freedom was fought, and eventually Sentinal Prime fought for its freedom and eventually bought off the debt of its inhabitants. Becoming the master of their own fate, Sentinal Prime was now a world that had been able to form and stand on its own. Quickly going back to what they knew, the world began to produce goods to export under their terms and reduced their reliance on systems around them. Now fast forward to today, it has become a world that has countless traditions and a strong backbone, it has prospered for most of the years it has been colonized. Yet now as extinction slowly creeps upon the doors of Sentinal Prime, the denizens welcome it with open arms. As those within Sentinal Prime are willing to show what they are willing to die for. [Warrior Family] The Ashfords are not a warrior family, however, from the last few generations, there have been well-known military men and women who have joined the military and served distinguished careers as both Pilots and officers. Notable Contacts [Name] Senior Chief Petty Officer Tarak Ashford [Relation to Subject] Father [Analysis] A man of action, Chief Petty Officer Ashford is a man who has proven himself in combat time and time again. Seeming to pass on his ideology and his skill to his son, he had often bent rules and connections to favor his son. A man who has seen many promotions and demotions in his time, he is considered a polarizing figure. Often being called by superior officers a PITA (Pain in the Ass), which has become his callsign, he has rubbed many the wrong way in his willingness to perform his own actions he thinks best. While those who serve with him think of him in high regard. He has often put his life on the line, putting missions in jeopardy to save those who are under him, and has often been called the luckiest man alive, by those under him as they believe his luck is the only thing that has saved their lives. [Name] Rear Admiral Lower Half Sophia Ashford [Relation to Subject] Mother [Analysis] Rear Admiral Sophia Ashford is the commander of the warship The Vengeance. From multiple accounts, she is referred to as a strong-headed and determined woman. She has made a name for herself as a no-nonsense commander and has led some of the most daring defenses against the Aberrations. Often being referred to as a kindly woman by those under her command, betrays the cold demeanor she shows to most of her peers. Many of her peers refer to her as 'cold', 'calculating', and even 'malicious' in their days of officer training. However it seems she has had a soft spot for those close to her as often with the antics of her husband and son, some often question how they are allowed to continue their antics. [Name] Richard Herman [Relation to Subject] Friend [Analysis] A close friend of Adrith's from their most notorious engagement. Richard and the rest of his squad believe they owe a debt to Adrith that could never be repaid as he risked himself and his machine to save them. Now looking for a way to pay him back, they often spread the word of his greatness, even talking about how Adrith gained his Callsign 'Scorch'. It is said that Adrith had often pushed his machine so hard that often he would come back even from his training days with scorch marks across his machine. How true is this claim is far from known.
