Saito nodded, and took off, following Saki and Toshiaki towards the fighting, doing her best to give Keiko a clean shot if she wanted it.

Aendri took off, holding a goodly ways off from the rest of the group. He wasn't quite sure if the squad remembered that the Daisies had their own propulsion, even if it's range was limited, but that was their problem.

Toshiaki's shots went wide, the chances of a worthwhile hit at this distance still small enough to make it pointless. As the squad moved in, two of the Rippers and the Shocktrooper peeled off to meet them, though the shocktrooper held back, letting the Rippers rush ahead.
Saki's shots, more precise, came closer to the leading Ripper, the distance still too great for accurate fire. Despite that, the two rippers opened fire, missing horribly, but clearly retaliating.
Meanwhile, the other Rippers kept up their attack on the flagging strength of the Bobcats. It was obvious via scans that the Bobcats wouldn't survive much longer, and the first one probably only had a dozen seconds left in it.
