The Victory passes overhead the dauntless and into a group of Dart fighters. It fires its turrets destroying as many as it can before running threw to a battle frigate and firing torpedoes into its hull. With each shot that strange adrenalin runs threw my veins seeing another enemy fall to my ship. "Main cannon is offline" says my weapons officer. "Dam it! Hiku contact Bladestorm." Hiku nods. "Group Commander?"

*As I take out My 6th enemy fighter it get a call over the Comm from the Victory.*
"This is DIABLOS, go ahead Victory."

"Our weapons are damaged and awe are under fire. Can you cover us?" I asks as we are hit again. "Repeat; Do what you can!"

The vertical slits of my eyes reshapened to their normal width as we approached the metal beings swiftly marching in perpendicular to our own path. My hand motioned upwards to slow our motion, I could sense a certain sense of questioning within the men behind me, though they knew better to question me aloud in such a time. I indicated for two fireteams to move behind me, while I turned to face the ten remaining fireteams. My eyes would rapidly count, or rather approximate, the middle, giving motion to create two bands of 5 fireteams. My mind rushed for the quickest words to explain, yet only then did I recall already having spoken of it to some of the squad leaders during whatever very brief time they'd of heard me speak casually off-duty. I designated for two of the men I spoke to, giving them both orders rapidly adapting from previous conversation we'd have before they in due time nodded, saluted and turned about to explain to their respective groups the orders at hand.
I glanced then about at the mechanical marchers, now several hundred meters away yet enough far off from the remaining troops. The squad behind me moved with me as I sped off in a wide curvature, along with twenty-five, one of the previous divisions. The latter surpassed us, arching further by a tenth of a league before turning back on itself to parallel briefly the cybernitic entities. My own group behind them, and further ahead to either side the two divisions, the metalloid figures were slowly becoming flanked from their least deffensible sides.
I stood briefly still, my breath unheard by or in comparison to the common human. As I shuffled my hooves beneath me, I angled myself forward lightly before speeding off into yet another pained rush of motion that rumbled continuous waves of agony to my lower body. White began to creep across my eyesight though a rapid flicker of my eyes removed the tarnish from my view. From the corner of my eyes I saw both divisions take my lead to both clamp towards the directed enemy formation, the four rows of six C-400s creating a slightly off yet manageable set of targets.
My hooves carried me slightly faster than my troops, although I lagged from my proper charging pace due the pausible overwhelming of pain from such a feat. Less than fourty meters remained. Less than thirty. Twenty. Ten. Something was wrong.
OOC: The confrontation is still mine, I just like suspense (I think, and hope) and don't want an uberly long post.

I have my men regroup as the rest of the Victory's marines finally joined us. The robots were overwhelmed now. And in the distance I could see the others of the Alpha group marines heading. This, was only half. This was huge. Tens of thousands of men colliding into a battle to reclaim this world. Jade was right, we were hitting them hard. But with their ability to produce so many from a factory line so fast it was undoubtable we would be met with the same, if not more force. But for now this group was alone. And we were going to take them, as we had many groups before. Overhead, behind the group led by the alien I saw the sun setting, gold shinning across the landscape in tremendous beauty. The Ai's didn't know where to look. I stopped, stood and raised one of my double pistols into the air. "For humanity!" "For humanity!" came a loud repeat of my words. A few units turned to face us, but it was to late. We engaged them.

"DIABLOS to Victory; I'm sending You the fighter re-inforcements to cover You, we'll join them once we take care of the enemy fighters. DIABLOS Out"
"DIABLOS to Fighter re-inforcements, break off and provied cover for the Victory, Myself and the rest of the fighters will join You once we've turned the enemy into scrap metal."

{OOC: Just incase I screw anything up, I haven't posted yet, so i'm just trying to intro myself. If I speak in italics, it's my thoughts.}
I ran through the GBS Dauntless. Having heard the order from Will Treigh that the Main Bridge had been hit by a boarding craft, I was moving as fast as I could, Delta squad right behind me.
"Move it men, we have to maintain the Main Bridge."
The Squad followed me as we moved closer. I unsheathed my standard alliance sword from the scabbord on my waist.
I seriously need a new one of these...
As we drew closer, I got my squad to slow down.
"You two go right, you two go left."
My squad only consisted of 4 members and myself, but I trusted these 4 with my life. My squad had split up to the sides, and I walked straight forwards up to the door of the Main bridge.
This is it...

OOC: heh, the main bridge is cut off from the rest of the ship. its ontop of the command tower witch is pretty much swiss cheese lol. but i suppose you could have found a rout up.
IC: As I strugled with my wound I look over at the command unit and to my horror watch it strugle to its feet and turn towards me. "You w.. w.. will die... hu, huuuu mannn man" It says as it raises its plasma SMG. Quickly moveing my arm I hold the trigger hard and watch 50 shells tear the commanders head and arms clean off. He finaly drops to the floor spewing purple and black liquid into the open air where it floats in 0G...

{OOC: Oh, didn't know that, lol. Well i'm busting you out now, lol.}
I signalled for the squads to move. The two on the right moved to open the door, and the two on the left quickly raised their weapons when the door opened. I held my sword tight as the door opened. Zero gravity was engaged, and I saw my commander, Nickolas Seafort floating there. I moved towards him, noticing his wounds.
"You alright sir?"

Looking over as the squad entered the bridge i say "Ohh im dandy, i just took on EIGHT RED GUARD, and a ship commander. And now im pined to my on damn ship, and their going to have to replace my arm with a replacement. Witch means I have alot of painful things to go through after this battle. But im just dandy!!" I say in a sarcastic tone. "Now get a maintance unit and have it 'rip' this blade so i can be moved to the medical bay and have it removed" I add.

"Superior Private Skirran, have you found a way into the main bridge yet?" i asked through the com link we had set up when i first ordered him up there. Before he could reply, i ordered the ship above the Apollo, so that both ships could broadside the same target if need be.

As the other men charged and mine engaged and noticed that the Dauntless had yet to send its troops to the surface. I rolled under a blade and to a secluded spot, bringing my wrist communicator to my mouth. "Dauntless, I said ALL troops to the surface."

"Yes sir Captain. I have the commander here with me, I need a maintenance team and a medical team on standby."
I look back to Nick.
"On the way sir, hang in there."

The maintenance team arrives, but before I go off to the other boarding craft, I talk to Nick.
"Sir, is there anything else you would like my squad and I to do, or shall we go after the boarding craft?"
