The large ship that had touched down in Dragon Territory would now be surrounded by a number of Dragon's and civilians likely.

While scouts from all over would be reporting in of a large scale force headed for California, headed for Long Beach. A bee line to an attempt at destroying all resistance that remains in the world.

Its late in the day, the sky is turning a bright amber.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Gavin stood by Eury's side like he promised throughout the past 3 months. The woman was still laying there unconscious. He perked at the sound of some commotion outside. Looking out the window he noticed the ominous sky. Her home was nowhere near where the ship had landed and the side he was looking out from wouldn't even provide any view. He had a bad feeling about it all as he looked back at the sleeping Eury would concern. He still hoped for her to wake soon.

Meanwhile unbeknownst to her or anyone throughout the past month as her mind was repairing herself through her Psy energy, she was sending out a soft long psy pulse throughout the lands. Every couple of hours. She had been fighting a long battle inside. But had she won? Would she wake finally?

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie was at the hub of the reports. A ship in Dragon Territory. No Elders. A large force marching, encroaching on them and those of the resistance that remained.

"We need the Core ready to go, right now, as well as the Gods'. Do we know what and who is on the ship? An estimate of Strike's forces?"

She was already briskly walking out, Sky Force jacket being swung on.

"Einrik!" It looked like today was going to be the end of it, one way or another. Upon freeing Gregory (coding IM RP; will post) she had gained help from Hyperion. So she called on him, now, as cries for the Core to mobilize rang out.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna, from the Dragon's hospital, quickly heard the news, as well. She grabbed her pack and took as many extra supplies as possible, calling out for the others to do the same, and get the patients they had within the building to safety.

...what was that about a ship..?

[David B.]

The horns sounded.

Over the last several days, David, Leon and Mathew had been prepping for evacuation. Those horns were the sign that all soldiers were to line up in defensive positions....and the civilians were to make their way to the ship.

Civilian count: 2,300

Troop Count: 450

David would open his eyes...inside the ship. He stood, adjusting his armor.

Today was it.

He walked toward the opening, Having already spoken with Leon and Mathew....a door would open in the side of the ship, and he would march out, the soldiers around backing up before clapping fists to hearts.

"August! Get me Kiyr Barrial. I want twenty-five runners to signal the evacuations...but not to the normal routes. I want all civilians inside the ship, and all Dragon and God forces with me. Lets go."

He would watch as his orders were carried out. Youichi approached.

"David...the army is massive. We'll be overrun.[/color]"

He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Help the people to the ship, Bee. Let me handle that army."

He'd wait for Kiyr and the sky force before issuing additional orders.

[Kronos]

Gregory, necklace on, would be at Kiyrs side, unwilling to leave! He was, strangely, in Dragon battle armor, though more for the defense than for his allegiance.

Whatever she wanted.

[Mr. Kaar]

The massive marching army was brought to a halt for at its front was a man simply flouting about like he owned the place.... Cause he kind of did. John Strike.

He had been following the psy pulses anyways, why not use this as a good excuse to rid himself of the burden of worrying about the ones who stole his ship.

However most all the Gods were up in arms now, moving to help defend.

Leon came running out of the ship.

"Send for my Core Squads, have them meet me at my check point 3."

Leon ordered a random soldier. He'd be off towards Crow territory.

[Kyrie Blaze]

On the move and calling the Sky Force with her, they were hailed a few minutes later with word to go to David...at the ship.

With a mild frown, she nodded, taking those Sky Force with her to go meet up with the Elder. Einrik came with, as well, for he was bound to her as he was Hyperion.

"Hyperion! Strike's forces are upon us!"

Good thing there was a lot of light.

. o O ( Einrik info:

SPOILER: Click to show

OOC: Kiyr gains PNPC Einrik Stonnif. Rash, quick to jump to conclusions and heavy handed, Einrik has a vicious loyalty to Hyperion, and by extension, Kiyr. His newfound desire to please her is unmatched, and would not hesitate to do her dishes, clean her house, run errands, fight or even die if it would see her life continued.

Stats:

Str: 62
Dex: 70
Con: 55
Int: 38
Wis: 55
Cha: 40

Qi: Einrik has the ability of "Localized Imprisonment". This Qi allows Einrik to, so long as he has touched someone, block their Qi. If someones CHA is higher than his own, it will not work, and it lasts for up to 3 posts.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Gavin's eyes widened at the display outside. Squad 3 was still out there making her home a dead zone but in the distance he saw what was coming. He heard the alarms heard the panic. He rushed over to Eury's side.

"I really REALLY need you to wake up."

The pulses continued as it seemed she stirred but didn't wake yet.

"You gotta get up!"

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna was still making haste in the hospital, helping with bundling as many of the only absolutely necessary - even though it was her belief they were all necessary - equipment and supplies and moving people on out.

HOW SHE DO, DOC?

[David B.]

David looked to his men.

"Alright boys. Last time we were attacked, just a few weeks past, they killed us on our walls. Let us go outside them and be killed. COME ON!"

The men, four hundred strong, slammed fists to their hearts. He ordered August to lead them out before turning to Kiyr.

"What I am going to ask you to do will be hard...but...I know you trust me. I need you to stay and protect the ship, and load it with all of our people. Once you do, let the horns blare and we will retreat into the ship. You can fly it, Kiyr. Put on the mask, and step up to the station in the cockpit...it will look after you."

Without further words....he turned and marched off with the men toward the wall.

***********************************************************

Theme

The gates opened for Strike, and at the front of his army, David marched, pouring out into the narrow field. On the walls were the smaller men, archers...ready to fight.

"Strike. To what do we owe the pleasure?"

[Mr. Kaar]

Arianna gathers what supplies looked good for field work, and so did a couple of handy helpers, helping.

Strike flouts about some more looking at David. To either side is This man and This man. He looks to David.

"Seems I've misplaced two very important things. One of which I believe you have."

[Kyrie Blaze]

Stay and protect the ship?

The blonde's eyes widened and her face lost colour. She knew why, of course, but couldn't shake the feeling she knew he was going off...

She had to trust that he would be back. Her throat locked up. Had he chosen her she could have given him something, but out of respect for him and Olesya and acknowledgement that love didn't always win, she blinked.

"Make it back..." She had to believe she would see him again, that for now he was just as enduring and indestructible as the man that was her teacher. She looked at Einrik and gestured.

The Titan, now in his normal size of eight feet, three inches, grimly nodded and followed with David. She wanted him to go with this Elder Dragon, so he would.

[David B.]

David shrugged.

"It doesn't have your name on it. In fact, You let me walk right inside it and fly away. You never said 'don't play with my toys'. In fact, you didn't say anything. So Imma give you a chance to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Clear out."
