The Death Army Birdie unit that Valen is chalenging adjusts it's stance, and instantly, two beam sabers pop out of it's claws. The unit quickly rushes forwards towards Valen's unit, attempting to stab it's beam sabers at Valen's midsection. Meanwhile, the other units move in behind Valen's unit.
Instantly, one of the weaker Death Army birdie's move in front of the Leader's death Army birdie Kai unit, taking the blast from his attack, while the Leader opens fire on Axl's unit. The remaining four units open fire as well
The birdie units keep out of the Gallop's range, circling, waiting for their moment to strike.
The units around Marco's unit take more dammage, and change tactics. The units above Marco dive in, while the three surrounding him close in the gap, this time trying to tackle his unit.
The Field leader brings up it's clawed arm, and shows that this unit is not nearly as weak as the other death army birdie units on this battle field, as the Claw takes the brunt of the dammage from Briar's attack. The birdie unit flips around, and opens fire with it's only remaining claw, while the other units also open fire as well.
The Single unit that Harlow is charging suddenly has a beam saber in it's claw, which it brings up to block the beam saber Harlow is swinging at it. Activating a second beam saber, it stabs directly at Harlow's cockpit.

"I thought these guys were supposed to be smart." Said Valen with a grin as he slammed into the birdie. With his already positioned arms he clashed against the birdie's sabers and forced both arms upward before swinging his bladed shield to slice the unit in half. Before he swung he detached the now depleted gatling cannons, using the descent to position it as a makeshift shield behind him.

Axl quickly brought his Storage Shield between himself and the Death Army Birdie Kai's shots, figuring based on it's higher speed that it's weapons were also on another level compared to the regular Birdies. Turns out he was right, the Birdie Kai did about as much damage to the Storage Shield in one shot as 2 of the regular Birdies were doing to his unit's extra armor. Knowing that the two Birdies above him would also be a problem, seeing as they managed to shoot his right weapons mount, taking the sniper rifle out of play, and also dealt minor graze damage to his unit's head, Axl then noticed his Guncannon was fully charged, and had an idea.
Hitting his thrusters full burn and spinning on his axis, Axl unleashed a spinning shot with the Guncannon to try and hit the ground level birdies or force them to put some distance. After the beam stopped, he also stopped while swinging his SubRoc Gun up and firing it and his left arm-mounted Smooth bore Cannon straight at the dive-bombing Birdies.
Alex was glad the Birdies were keeping their distance, this meant he wouldn't have to worry so much about the Gallop taking critical damage, but he couldn't let his guard down now. While his turrets kept the Birdies at bay with the auto-gunner, Alex sent out a signal to the rest of Team Strike requesting support for the Gallop as soon as possible.

Faced with the fact that all 7 of the aerial units were now gunning for him, Marco didn't really have much choice. His beam rifles were on their last charges, and he really didnt quite relish the idea of being mostly unarmed before these machines. Breaking out of the encirclement, via an extended bout of dashing/thrusting, Marco's unit quickly turn and positioned itself to face the horde of machines.
Pointing all 6 barrels at the flock gathered, Marco emptied his quartet of beam rifle of their energy bolts, as well as adding in fire from each of the machine guns mounted on each forearm shield.

Seeing the beam sabre come straight at him Harlow took a step back, holding the right arm in the same position to hold back the Birdie's left sabre but moving the rest of the body so that the beam missed his cockpit by metres. Taking the pilot off guard he punched the Birdie in the chest with the left arm.

Using his thrusters, Briar jumped over the enemy unit in front of him as it spun around to try and shoot him. Landing right behind it, he performed a back-kick to send the enemy in the way of the fire from its allies, shielding himself and hopefully taking out that pesky enemy unit.
With the enemies (hopefully) distracted, Briar turned his attention to Axl, who was apparently having some issues. Holstering his Beam Saber and drawing his Variable Beam Rifle, Briar dashed in the direction of Axl, firing on the enemies from behind to catch them by surprise.

The Death Army birdie unit Kai that Valen ran into had planned that. The moment that Valen's unit ran into it, the other units around it begin to pelt both of them with beam shots, one of them knocking the hat off of Valen's unit's head, missing him completly.
The birdie units around Axl take some serious dammage, 2 of them going down hard, while two more go down from Briar's attack from behind. With only two left, one being the Field leader, the other being a regular death army birdie unit, the two take off, avoiding the SubRoc shot. The two units join the group of units currently near Alex's spot, growing the group by another two.
Marco manages to take out two more Death army birdie units, but as if by a new command, the remaining five take off, moving and joining the group near Alex's unit.
Harlow manages to do a bit of dammage to the Death Army birdie Kai, which quickly disengages from him, joining the 4 other units in the air. This group quickly joins with the other's currently gathering.

Valen's bladed shield cut into the death birdie. However as the gatlings were struck by a bombardment he swung around, eviscerating the birdie and blocking the assault with the beam coated storage shield. Rather than return fire he began flying towards Axl to provide support.
"Everyone, form two rows! Close combat units up front, ranged in the back!" He commands. The hat shall be avenged. He added mentally.

Seeing that the flock of aerial units had darted off, Marco wondered what had happened, to elicit that kind of response. Then Valen's voice came over the comm network next, reordering the team into a 2 tier assault formation. Since his primary weapons were still under going recharging, the merc's only offensive option at this point time were his shield mounted MGs.
Darting into a free space in the formation, the pilot raised both arms and peppered the air with two full burst of machine gun fire, in an effort to down an unwary flyer, or two.

Finally having some breathing room, Axl docked his hand-held weapons and ripps the Prototype Beam Sniper Rifle off of the Weapon Mount, glad to see it will still work, but would have to be wielded 2-handed until the mount was repaired. Keeping where he was when Ransac issued the order to form up, he simply sent a confirmation light and also gave a warning to allies in the line of fire for the Assault Container's cannons to get clear as he brought back the Container's targeting screen.
Scoping with the Rifle and aiming the Container's cannons at the forming group of Birdies, Axl opened fire, sending a shot from his Prototype Beam Sniper Rifle and two shots from the assault container hurtling through the air at the swarm of Birdies.
Alex got the order and decided to keep the Gallop where it was and auto-gunning as bait while the Raysta snuck into formation. Deploying the Stealth Unit on his Raysta, Alex launched out of the Gallop and snuck around to the rest of the group, ready to patch up any damages done during combat.

Managing to break out of the circle he gave the Birdie unit he punched off the bird and rushed towards the team formation, taking position behind the others Harlow drew his sniper rifle. He scanned the area and forwarded the data to his allies. "Oh so they got your hat did they? Grievous war crime I'm sure." he said sarcastically.

The Death Army birdie's that were attacking Valen's unit, joining with the group of birdies gathering in the air. A few of the birdies get destroyed by the attack by Axl's unit, but most of the group is left intact. The birdies gather up in groups of four, and begin to dive bomb the group. Near the back, holding back, are four seperate units. The groups of four begin to open fire on the group of pilots on the ground.

Valen replaces his hat with a brand new one before drawing his bazooka and fires three shots into the swarm of birdies. As they fire he crouches underneath his storage shield for protection.

Axl took aim beyond the birdies for the 4 stragglers. They were clearly planning something, and Axl would rather it be removed from the equation before it becomes a problem. Taking precise aim for a cockpit shot, Axl then opened fire at the farthest up of the stragglers. Also getting the lock-on readings from the Assault Container on the main group, Axl also unleashed a storm of missile fire onto the main cluster of Birdies.

With his beam rifles now fully recharged, Marco had all of his available ranged weapons pointed towards the cluster of aerial units, before waiting for a positive lock to register and depressing both triggers, thereby firing off a cluster of 20 particle bolts, followed by two full bursts of machine gun fire, from his forearm mounted shields.
