Komorebi
Tankette Line
As the enemy still bore down on them from a far distance, Meissa's detonated block of explosive just added to the chaos of the situation. Explosives detonated all around them and it reminded Eden of a fireworks display in front of her eyes, like at Kikyō No Sekku.
“Keep firing on—“ she was stopped in her tracks by the sound and what showed on her HUD as a direct hit on one of the armors, Reina Madoka’s. After a pause, she continued, “—The missiles!” Muyomi Peio had been shooting out the missiles and had to jump out of the way of an incoming missile. Cat-like reflexes and gymnastics training and abilities beyond the level of prowess, she was able to land a backflip with perfect execution. She then knelt to the ground and called out sheepishly to the team.
“I have our back with my new position while some of you cover the front!”
Eden swiveled her gun on her shoulder, continuing to fire at missiles. She heard Meissa and nodded then nodded to Iemochi after registering his input, thinking quickly… But quickly enough, she didn’t know. Within a handful of seconds, the missiles had ceased, though. Likely because of their inability to get past the Kaiyō personnel’s defenses. It was also because of Ume’s quick thinking on skewing the sensors with chaff, Mat's sword-like array of weapon fire, and Hanna's SMG penetrating the offenses of the L'Kor. Even Walter had helped, if not marginally, he had helped!
It was a second later that the un-downed L’Kor flew in and pushed towards the Kaiyō personnel’s line. Eden watched several of them fall or falter from those that had begun to shoot on the L’Kor themselves. The tankette had begun to take out individual armors as well as some of the away team like Yoshida, who was really just blazing away with her grenade launcher at the missiles. The majority of the L’Kor then reached their line and flew upwards and Eden spoke out.
“Teleport thirty meters towards the perimeter. Let them shoot at dirt!” She then set it up so that every member of the away team in armor could see what she meant. For those that couldn’t listen within two seconds and trigger their own teleportation units would be moved to a half-ring around the center of the embankment towards the southern tip of the cabin, but mid-air. That way they would have a good vantage point on the L'Kor closer to the ground and be able to fire on them with ease and peace of mind knowing exactly where the tankettes were and not to hit them. Meanwhile, the tankettes were told to fire on the likely second wave still in the forest, where they were already pointed.
Eden also called out to everyone a second time while she was in-between teleporting and being in one place, "Fire on the L'Kor PA in the forest, tankettes!! Rest of you, fire carefully to avoid the tankettes and Reina-hei, thrust up and don't teleport or you could get hurt and find Sutahira-hei!"
