Leon adjusts the straps on his pack, and quickly moves to join the others, pulling out his gun, and being ready for anything.
"I doubt anyone missed that we cut the power. We need to move out carefully."

Drawing her UE pistol again Natalie formed up with the group.
"Right." she pulled down her goggles with a free hand and switched them to low light mode. "The sooner we go, the less likely we are to get shot at."

The group quietly yet quickly moved through the city, alert for any sign of enemies. In the background the sounds of battle sung over the city, punctuated by loud explosions and the occasional bright flash. "Things are getting heated up there." Said Valen when one explosion actually shook the windows of nearby buildings despite being on the other side of the city.
"Explains why we don't have much company, they're probably delegating all their forces to the battle, relying on a guard force to intercept us, by now they probably know our target." Observed Victor.
Suddenly the building next to the group exploded, knocking Valen clear off his feet and sending him smacking into the wall of a building on the other side of the street, knocking him out cold. From within the ruins of the building rose a group of six bulky, four armed humanoid machines. "Targets confirmed, commencing eradication." The last word was spoken with a horrific malice that promised a world of hurt by every droid present simultaneously, an effect magnified by what posed as the droids eyes glowing a bright red.
"Oh shit, RUN!" Roared Victor as he opened fire with his pistol, missing with each shot as he made a very hasty retreat.
(I have taken temporary control over the UE ground forces until HK returns at the request of Usam, if you have any complaints, please fill out a complaint form, strap it to a grenade, then chuck it at a droid.)

Noting that the rest of the team was moving out, Marco abandoned his position and took the rear of the column as usual. He couldn't help but feel that something was amiss, and things were going too smoothly for them so far. His battle trained instincts were ironically proven correct, as an unexpected patrol ambushed them, from behind a wall. Their unusual entry had resulted in Valen being propelled to the opposite building, his body connecting with a resounding meaty thunk, while knocking him out cold. But as it were, Marco had little time to worry about their KO'ed leader. Right now, their priority was to eliminate this bunch of machines, and then figure out what to do from then on "SCATTER AND GET INTO COVER", he yelled to the others, as the brawny male raised his own M4 and unloaded a long burst of rifle fire at the lead unit, while seeking for cover. Obviously going toe to toe against a whole bunch of these machines was suicidal, and Marco Owen was not the least bit seeking his own death at the moment.

More machines?! Do they not want to deal with this themselves?
"Cover me, now!" Yelled Natalie as soon as she saw Valen go down. Grabbing a small object from her tactical harness Natalie reactivated her SABREs, flipping backwards into the air and pushing off the wall behind her. Mid-jump she threw the EMP grenade she was holding at the group of machines, landing next to Valen on the other side of the street. Hoping that for a moment she hadn't been spotted she checked Valen.
"Valen can you hear me?" Realising he was probably concussed she had to move him before they both got shot by a heavy trooper. Aiming her grapple at a higher building behind the rest of her team, Natalie fired off a line and grabbed Valen, putting his arm around her so they would both be able to use the line. Before getting out of there she reacted for another object and dropped it, releasing a cloud of smoke around them. Retracting the grapple and jumping using the SABRE's, Natalie landed slightly inelegantly and put Valen down, signalling for Victor to get over here and help her.

As soon as the explosion went off, both Axl and Alex rushed outside, only to see Natalie with an unconcious Valen. "Cover them, I'm gonna get to a higher vantage point. I can cause more damage to those heavies if I can get a clear shot for my sniper rifles" Axl instructed as he readied his belt-mounted grappling gun, getting into position and firing the cord up to the ledge of the nearest building out of the Heavies' line of fire and beginning his climb. Axl in the meantime took cover with his Barretta at the ready, taking aim at the heavies, ready to provide cover fire for Natalie.

Leon quickly moves to take cover behind a nearby building, opening fire on the enemy units. Leon reaches down to his belt, and activates a small electronic device on it.
"They already know where we are by now, won't hurt."
In the air, the fighter picks up a signal from the troops on the ground, and hones in on the group.
((Figured that if the fighter is coming down, why not give him something to do and us some big back up.))

The UE Heavy Troopers watched as the meatbags ran for cover, one of them even opening fire with a gun, the rounds of which struck their armor with a high ping, leaving small dents. Two of them marched forward, shooting at the EMP Grenade the woman had thrown and intercepting it in the air with their machine guns before bringing their double barreled rocket launchers to bear, firing the first volley at the building the sniper had scurried over to, aiming so the rockets would severely damage the foundation on impact and bring the building down below his feet. The other four began firing their own volleys, adding in with their machine guns in a wide spray.
Meanwhile Victor made his way over to Valen and Natalie, upon seeing that he remained unconcious Victor snatched a sticky bomb from his pocket and hurled it at the Heavy Troopers.
One of the troopers registered a soft thud against his body and looked down to see the puddy stuck to him just before it exploded, not causing much damage but throwing off it's aim and causing it to accidently fire a rocket into one of it's allies, sending it soaring across the street until it exploded.

Reduced to hiding in an alleyway, Marco had no time to see if his rifle fire had any effect on the machine patrol that just ambushed them. As it were, the team was now effectively scattered, and he had the feeling it was going to be quite the task to bring the hateful enemy down. Quickly popping in and out of his cover, Marco once more fired off a few rounds, for all the good it did, while accessing his options.
Right now, he needed to buy time for the team to get to position, and with that in mind, the burly male prepped two smoke grenades, to toss into the midst of the patrol, to provide the team what little time it could to set up and retaliate.

Leon quickly ducks back behind his cover, and reaches into one of his pouches, pulling out a wad of C4. Quickly, he sets the timer to 10 seconds, sticks it into the explosive, activates the timer. Moving out from around the building, Leon throws the now activated C4 At the enemy units, then dives back into cover quickly.

Noticing the structure starting to crumble, given that it's starting to tilt, Axl kicks off from the structure lightly and disengages his grapple, the line reeling back into the grappling gun on his belt as he falls. Landing on his feet without problem thanks to the SABER leg braces, he brings up his sniper rifle and quick-zoom snipes at the head of one of the Heavies before diving for cover himself. Alex in the mean time, takes cover to avoid any MG shots headed his way before bringing his Barretta to bear and opening fire to give Axl some cover fire.

Making sure Valen was out of sight of the UE Heavies she placed he bag under his head and unsheathed his sword.
"I'm borrowing this." She said, despite Valen being unconscious and not up to the task of protesting.
Natalie turned to Victor. "Seeing as you can't shoot straight keep an eye on him. He should recover by himself." With that she turned and joined the others, running down the street to throw another EMP grenade before diving down into the alleyway where Marco was with the SABREs.
"These things don't seem to work at all." She said gesturing to her pistol. Looking up she noticed the building behind her and had an idea. "If we have enough explosives we could take out the side of the building next to them and bring it down on them. Got anything?"

In response to the sounds of battle an entire platoon of Rollers, Automatons, and the six remaining snipers made their way over to the source of the commotion. A few of the rollers failed to register the Heavy's and were wrecked by the rockets the droids were firing all over the place. The Heavies registered the new arrivals but by now were so consumed by their combat programming that they responded by going berserk, three of them charging the group of humans, specifically the sniper, while the other two began firing rockets everywhere, not even attempting to aim. Suddenly two of the Heavy's dropped, struck by the EMP Grenade and a series of loud pings announced the connection of Alex and Marco's shots.
Faced with two hostile groups, the snipers, rollers, and automatons began firing indiscriminately, knowing very well that the their best bet was to subdue the Heavy's before they caused too much damage. One sniper managed to put a bullet between a Heavy's shoulder plating and took out it's central processor, earning a "kill"
Victor noticed the new arrivals and very nearly lost any semblance of self control. The Heavy's were bad enough, now they were facing an army and even though it was clear the Heavy's were also targets of the droids, it was only a matter of time before they were completely overwhelmed. Slinging Valen over his shoulder, Victor did the only thing someone in his position could do. "RUN!! RETREAT!!" He roared. This fight was suicide now, they needed a miracle.
In response to all the noise, Valen slowly returned to consciousness, welcomed by a throbbing in his head. "So, what'd I miss?" He muttered before turning his head to see the situation. "Oh." Was all he could respond with. "I liked things better when I was unconscious." He thought before slipping off of Victor's back and reaching to draw his sword, his heart jumping a mile when he couldn't find it. "Where is my sword?!" He demanded, angrily drawing the vibrosword.

Suddenly, with a thump that fills the area, the fighter's mobile suit lands nearby, quickly filling the area his Zaku's vulcans and claw mounted beam shots. The fighter is working as hard as he can to aim his ranged weapons as to avoid hitting the group of humans. Meanwhile, his fully charged hands strike out at the group of small droids.

With her ears pricking up at the noise of a larger firefight going on, Natalie cautiously peered around the corner.
"What the?! They're firing on their own forces." She looked around "Crap." Seeing the new forces advance towards the alley caused her to panic slightly. Natalie walked back, spun the blade round and started to count in her head.
Six, five, four, three, two, one.
She sprinted forwards, using the SABREs to leap into the air and land on a passing automaton and stabbed down with borrowed sword. Natalie heard engines above her, peering up she saw a mobile suit drop from above. Feeling it would be better to get out of the way the flipped off the machine and onto the roof of the building next to them.
"That suit, and those markings, is that Fighter?" Natalie couldn't help but smile.
