It took you five seconds, probably less. Five seconds, that's all the time the constructs were worth. Requiem went off and before it the scenery was done changing they were aiming, wings lengthening with bayonets, shotguns flaring with black flames, a shame they weren't aiming the right way. Yoake rushes in through the portal, ass-first towards A, which to its credit dodges. It did not dodge her second strike. B immediately spins around bringing its barrel to face her, a swift leap backwards buying it enough time to aim it and enough time for Shef to lock-on. Both were down before they could even fire.
As for your target, he's... oh. Wow, that's kinda pathetic, he's uh, trying to escape. He's trying to
swim. The guy's trying to swim, fully dressed, away from you two - a man with a gun, and a lady in a swimsuit, the act made even more futile by the fact that there isn't actually anywhere for him to even swim
to.
You may wanna stop him before he tires himself out and drowns.

Now, for reasons that I can't even begin to comprehend, you decide to fucking jam a magical spear into your patient's heart and pole vault off of them. So uh, you do that. Fucking stab him right in the heart and leap. Security C is screaming, Security D is screaming, none of them are even firing, and as you disengage your spear in a spray of arterial blood, you hear the distinct sound of E fainting and thudding on the floor. You careen straight into the wall spear-first missing the Phase Stalker by less than an inch as it flickers just out of the way, your follow-up slash proving move successful, gouging a shallow channel into the wall and splitting the phantasm in two.
In the stunned silence that follows, the only noise is the electronic beeping of the equipment as it slows and steadies.
"Y-you, did it! You saved him!""Unless you're planning on earning some extra credit for your medical school application, I'd suggest leaving, the nurses can handle the rest.

Try to avoid the strikes of the hazeborn and slash all around, trying to take as many of them down as possible. Then try to get away from the fire-lance-thing.
Tahmuras should either come to assist with the hazeborn or try to get on the machine gun things if he knows how to use those? don't know if he does
Pia continue scanning, take cover.

The new arrivals are cloaked in a wall of darkness, bullets tearing blindly out from within, none finding their mark, none save for that which drives itself right into Pia's head, blasting her backwards. It wasn't a clean hit, she was trying to dodge so it didn't hit dead-on, but still even then, she does not seem as phased as you'd think she'd be as she rolls into cover and dusts herself off.
Revving your chainsaw you rend the space around you and that it may contain. Sparks and paint flying in your wake, a burst of machinegun firing coming from close-in as Tahmuras brings his newly requisitioned weapon to bear. Hazeborn C finds itself shredded apart, your weapon gliding effortlessly through its fleeting form, B manages to dodge your swing and the machinegun fire only to be impaled upon the weapon's barrel as it tries to disengage. The final foe proves to be elusive however, seemingly vanishing and reappearing further back, your attacks striking only its afterimage. And then, the fire comes crashing down.
The glass, the glass that smelled so heavily of alcohol, it ignites, the entire section of the hallway catching fire, as tongues of flame reach out, ensnaring the two of you further. Seeing its chance, A rushes forwards, swinging its bladed paddle at your throat. Something inside the darkness flashes brightly. Danger looms.
Pia calls out.

Pia's scan has started yielding results, making everyone more effective against Tikilords, and to a lesser extent, Watchers. This is especially true for Pia herself, though the darkness is going to make it a bit hard for her to make much use of it this turn.
The scan will also make it easier to break free of the fire's entangling effects.
The wall of darkness is hiding current enemy activity.
First off, alteration to a 6. Second off - I'm giving us a Healing Field with resolve, primarily for the purpose of allowing us to escape mostly unscathed and healing any damage we may incur in doing so. Then! Both the hazeborn, and the flash in the darkness, are bad. That said - priorities. The hazeborn she can probably take a hit from although she'd rather not. She has no idea what sort of thing is being used in the darkness or if she can take it with reasonable not-dying. Thus: Dodge. Yuki would do her best to break out of the fire with the help of Pia's scan and get the f*ck out of the way. Tahmuras should do the same and pour bullets down the hall if he's got any ammo, but the focus is not getting hit by whatever the heck the Tikilord is doing.

"Duck. Keep your weapons in front."Radiant beams tear out from within the darkness, spraying out like machinegun fire and punctuated with the occassional sniper round. Tahmuras returns fire but to no avail, the deluge unphased by his reply. The remaining Hazeborn sweeps to the right, bringing its blade towards your side you hold steady and the image fades, replaced with a sharp pain. It was to your right swinging its weapon down onto your leg. Your shield breaks, taking the brunt of the strike, unfortunately, that leaves you unshielded for the sniper round that slams into your side, and the the beams that strike your flank as you reel from the impact. Tahmuras, fares slightly better, if only because the he didn't have a lagstabbing fratboy on his ass, though he still ends up prone from the impacts.
The vestiges of darkness, shredded by gunfire, dissipates, revealing your foes where they were before, crouching behind cover. The Hazeborn seemingly vanishes, teleporting right before Tahmuras and aiming to strike him from behind while the Tactical fires on him from the front. The Alumunus tosses aside the ruined husk of the machinegun and raises its rifle once more opening fire on you. The Tikilord takes a few bottles of vodka, tossing them carelessly on the floor, a new floating expanse of shards beginning to spread out from their position.
"I've got a shot on the mage. I can take it now or make him explode the next time he tries casting."The fire begins to die.

"Sure!"You are standing in an open corridor gunfire streaming towards you. There's cover behind you, it's too far. There's rooms to your right, barricaded. Not the best position to be in. You throw out a heal, your raise a shield, your shield shatters. You need to get the hell outta here, the sooner the better. A bullet slams into your gut, another into your skull, your arm, your chest as you turn to run. No matter, you bring your chainsaw across the barrier and dive through. It looked cooler in your head, but in your head there wasn't a metal emplacement right behind the it either. Behind you, you hear a wet crunch, followed by a heavy crash. Dust and debris fill the air Tahmuras having punched a crater in the floor to give cover to himself, a little one-man spider hole the edge stained with what used to be Hazborn A.
Now this would be all fine and good, but well, the guy can't do much in a hole and he's still pinned. As for you? Well, that metal barrier you crashed into? It's beginning to glow and shudder, it's gonna blow. You hear the Alumunus and the Tactical ready their weapons, you see Pia swinging out of cover, pistol raised, and you see Hazelord A vanish, reappearing behind the girl about to bring its blade down on her neck.

Alright then, first up: Telestabbing Hazelord A. Two people can play the teleport game. "Hey hey! No stabbing the shooty people, that's not fair!". I assume Pia's self preservation should let her evade. Next, drop a heal on myself. And Tahmuras. Again. Non hyper because no resolve to multihyper. Tahmuras should stick in cover if he doesn't think he can make it to the shooters before they turn him into swiss cheese. After the telestab continue to press the attack against the Hazelord.

Now Pia ain't a fool. She's seen how the Hazeborn teleport everywhere, and those Hazelords look pretty damn similar so when Hazelord A vanishes as she aims she has a pretty good idea of where it went. She pulls the trigger. The Hazelord swings, and, stops, the blade of a combat knife slicing through its chest. Of course, it wasn't there anymore. It was in front of her sweeping at her legs with her paddle. You chainsaw roars through its form. It vanishes again. Another afterimage. It bears down from its side only to meet her heel, cleaves forward from her flank only to be met once again by your regalia. A storm of illusions arising from and returning to naught around the two of you. Finally it finds its mark, a side Pia neglected to cover, a side too far for you to cover, the obsidian blade slamming into her hurling her like a ragdoll. It swoops in jamming the barrel of its shotgun gun agaisnt her temple, as she careened throught he air she twisted her body, responding in kind. An ephemeral stand-off, a balance that exists and will only exist for a mere instant before that inevitable thunderous discharge.
The Watcher position meanwhile is in disarray, when that bullet went through the Tikilord's head it exploded. Literally fucking exploded, sonorous energies and paint blasting forth in the middle of the damn formation. The Alumunus and Tikilord are hurled away by the explosion, paraphernalia-turned-shrapnel having torn through their forms leaving them wounded but alive, while the other Hazelord just stands there, the explosion seemingly failing to even register upon it. Amidst a streak of debris, Tahmuras approaches. He can't assualt their position head-on, but what he can do, what he is doing right now, is expand his trench, strike after empowered strike blasting the crater-turned-gorge extending it forwards with his approach.
Hazelord B readies into a stance, the Alumunus and Tactical readying their weapons in sync as they roll into their landing, training them upon you.

We're altering to the second 5 in the line and consuming the third for Surprise Attacking the enemy going for Pia. Let's try to just get rid of him out the gate - after the telestab, pursue him. Don't let him go if I have the option. Tahmuras should continue his approach with focus on the hazelords - once they're gone, we don't have any more problems. Also, heal everyone I can for the shields. And the heal.

A thunderous crash, two shotguns discharging in union, soon followed by the chatter of gunfire. Pia, took a shotgun blast to the face and is sent through the wall. The Hazelord on the other hand succeeds in dodging the blast, and the axe Pia threw on her way out, what it does not dodge however is your teleporting strike, your position shifting the moment it vanished again bring your Regalia through its chest, gunfire streaking through where you stood mere moments ago. Still while the Tactical's rate of fire isn't the highest, the Alumunus was a bit more of problem, sweeping their barrel towards you as-
"YUKI! BEHIND YOU!"A sharp pain pierces your side as an obsidian blade cleaves into your flank. There's a crash, Tahmuras bringing his heel down where your assailant once stood, and then the chatter of gunfire, impact, the droplets sanguine scattering though the air. Blood, your blood. It seems that you weren't the only one planning such an attack, Hazelord B teleports backwards a few feet, shifting into a warding stance. The bullets, weren't too much of a problem, Tahmuras' attack kicked up enough debris that the Alumunus didn't have a clear shot on you, the wound in your side, that's more a problem. You're fairly confident the wound itself won't be a problem, I mean, have you ever seen an anime where the main character just takes a wound and bleeds out like a bitch or something? No, and besides you can heal, like you are doing right now, what's mroe of a concern however, is that it's probably not going to help you with murdering a fool. Guess you're not a full-blown slasher villain just yet, can't shrug everything off.
With your new crater in the way and their cover blown apart, the two ranged Watchers slowly retreat backwards keeping their weapons trained towards its lip, the Alumunus making a quick glance at the combat knife on its vest.

Not much to do without an alteration and I only have the one. They'll get in cover, which sucks, but running out with a 1 doesn't accomplish much. Pia should get out of the wall and try to join Tahmuras and Yuki, and get undazed. We'll be preparing to charge them down next turn - unless the hazeborn tries to get a cheeky hit in one of us.

Alright, no point just waiting around for something to happen. First, heals all around to apply a second layer of shield. Then, have Tahmuras do the thing he did earlier where he expands the trench - can I help with that and make it go faster? If so, do that - we're trying to close as fast we can to their position, ideally before they can get to new cover. If Pia can do so without getting shot up too badly, she should try to suppress them as best she can - or at least shoot them if they enter her field of fire. On watch for the Hazelord trying his luck teleporting in for a backstab on anybody - if he does, make him realize what a mistake it was, violently.
(The idea is mostly that rushing forward is still going to get us shot up a lot by them. Earlier, it was said that Tahmuras couldn't approach their position directly and it was still the two of them then, and I don't think that's changed much. The shields would help but we'd still get shot up too badly.
I wouldn't be offended if the NPCs had suggestions mind, that might make this go faster )
((No dice on helping the trench expansion, Tahmuras does it through striking with explosive force whilst your regalia is more a cleaving/cutting weapon.))
"I can try, but they're probably in cover and have their weapons trained there.""Well, then you probably shouldn't... was a stupid idea, heh. Maybe just watch for the backstaby one then, or for a chance to take a shot some other way?"

"Sure."Tossing the scrap that was once a shotgun aside, Pia moves into position as Tahmuras continues blasting the the trench forwards, tunneling towards the enemy position, you follow his, weapon readied, and well, hey guess what? By the time y'all dug there, the assholes are already behind cover with their weapons trained on the entryway. Which as it turns out does fuck all for them seeing as thanks to your trench the downward aiming angle is so damn awkward they're stuck blind firing, which while grazing you two a bit, doesn't really achieve much.
Now, all that seperates them and certain death is a metallic barrier and the distance upwards. The Hazelord enters a stance and darkness pulses outward from the Alumunus' wounded form once more.

Alteration to 5. We're gonna be trying to finish this ASAP rather than spending four turns in a trench. Heal for Heavenly Aegis++, then we're going to leave the trench, Tahmuras in front since he does more damage the more hurt he is and he's less hurt than Yuki is. Pia should come forward so that she can't get shanked as easily. Tahmuras should try to break the barrier and charge through it along with Yuki - go for the Alumnus, but if the chance presents itself the Hazelord's got to go. Once the Tactical and Alumnus are focused on Tahmuras and Yuki, if they do, she should take some shots at the Tactical. Same orders for switching targets on her.

Darkness consumes the world as you heal and shield, in the moments before the shadows close in you see Tahmuras lunge forwards bringing his fist against the barrier, you see the Hazelord lunge towards him bringing its blade down like a guillotine, and you see Pia sprint fowards opening fire. Gunfire tears through the air as you leap forwards, there's something that sounds like an explosion, Tahmuras is roaring, Pia gasps in pain, your chainsaw revs. You can't see a damn thing, sound and fury reverberating in your ears, seemingly coming from every direction, and perhaps it was. You don't know where they are, but they couldn't have run far, you charge forwards, blade screeching against the floor, sparks flying behind you as leap forwards and swing. You think you hit something, hopefully it wasn't Tahmuras.
Eventually, after what seems like an eternity, the darkness clears, it's hard to tell what happened but well, they're all dead, the Alumunus, the Tactical, the Hazelord.
Okay so basically what happened was that while the darkness pulse the Alumunus had was quite useful, increasing the firepower of themselves and all their allies in it while reducing visibility, it doesn't really stop people from punching their cover so hard it comes a claymore and then someone else blindly slashing in their general direction now that they're wounded and have even more trouble running.
Pia managed to take out the Hazelord by directing her scans onto it realizing that it wasn't teleporting so much as it was just lagging extremely hard, so when it deployed a decoy so it could counterattack her, she was able to prevent it from lagporting away by letting it strike her and then holding its weapon in place so she could eviscerate it with her knife.
