Bravery jumped into the same crater that Bunny did, ready to guard her while she worked with her gun.
"I'll watch your back, okay?" He reached into his pocket, pulling out a pair of metal-studded fingerless gloves he had managed to pick up at the arsenal they had had while they were still in Highend--these would at least put a little extra oomph into his attacks if he had to switch to hand to hand--which was starting to sound pretty probable at this point.

┏━━━━━

Hannibal's men came in the wind, armor trucks followed them. The Shark's forces began to create barriers with the armored trucks. Mortors had been placed to give cover fire. His men covered vital corners near the edge of their location. It seems only the brunt of his forces had yet to come, this was just the tip of the iceburg of the battle.


Lucius came into command of the soldier while Hannibal sat back and watched the show.

"YO YO~! From what I hear it three that we'd be countin', and Three that's gonna be droppin' as the death count is gonna keep tickin'~!" Lucius rapped away with his over confident smile that shined brighter than a dawning sun. True Shark teeth.

A series of mortar fire reign down, like a cock showing his feathers he did only to intimidate and provoke....A Hannibal wanted to draw them closer in to the largest crater, to create a claustrophobic situation for them as they will be lead toward a ever closer and deeper hole accessible in safe distance to his men, from there he would slaughter the weak leaving out the three from the intel. He had no idea of who he was facing, but he desired to finished this quick. It was more his time versus worm and vulture.

"When Buddi arrives allow him to command a squad...loosely..Tell him to try and lead them. You'll head for Buddi's location with mortar cover, I arrive with the troops, eliminate their forces. Single the wild ones out. They'll either come out like the insects they are or they'll hide like the cowards the have been destined to be...Give Buddi a vehicle, one the armored ones..Faster movement and defensive as well...Have him on radio too." Hannibal dotted and scratch their map with plans and data, his colonels and him mumble to each other

"Now go." Hannibal began to plan further

everytime we try, we get nowhere
wouldn`t it be nice if we were just normal people
trying so hard to act like we don`t care

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi arrived with Hannibal`s forces, screaming illegible phrases the whole time. He felt most comfortable on a battle field; like he was in his element. He had no knowledge as to what he was before he was a psychopath, but he speculated it had something to do with warfare. It had too. When he arrived he was given a small squad, a vehicle, and a radio. He had no idea what to do with any of these items. He shoved the radio under his mask, and looked at his squad. "FOLLOW." He barked, now looking out at their terrain. The enemy was keeping their distance, firing at them. After momentarily being distracted by the explosions, Buddi took only a second to come up with his plan. He was no tactical genius, obviously. Using his buzz axe to shield him from any shots, he and his squad charged straight into Vulture Team`s forces. He started to do his thing; swinging his weapon around, striking down anyone in his way. "WOO!"

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi was really having the time of his life with the cannon fodder. "KSSH YES HELLO THIS IS BUZZ AXE AIRLINE. NEXT STOP YOUR HUSBAND`S FACE KSSH OVER KSSH." He stopped his mindless slaughtering as he heard a rather notable explosion, and turned to see one of the armored cars flipping right over. That was so pretty. That was one powerful rocket. Before he could really register what was going on, one of those rockets was heading right for his face. He didn`t have a lot of time to think. He knew he couldn`t dodge it. So he did the next best thing. If he missed this, he would miss the opportunity of a life time. He placed his buzz axe right in front of him, and sliced right through the incoming rocket, the remains of it exploding behind them. It really didn`t take him a lot of work to deduce where that rocket came from. His eyes locked on the woman in armor, and he grinned wildly. "NIPPLE SALAD!!!" He screeched, charging at her as she critiqued him for running right at her. Genius.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi gasped as his buzz axe was actually whacked out of the way. That had never happened before. He actually had never came across someone who didn`t die as soon as he charged at them. Who was this lady? Buddi looked at her with sudden interest before she forcibly grabbed him by the neck, proceeding to smack the metric shit out of him with that steel-plated hand of hers. He stumbled over as she kicked him straight in the gut, coughing as he landed in a kneeling positions. He actually couldn`t help the small tears developing in his one visible eye, but he quickly reached under his mask and wiped it away. "...Ow." He muttered, staggering up to what could be called a standing position. At a bit of a loss, he simply swung his buzz axe vertically at her, hoping for the best.

Buddi glared at Emilia, an angry blush hidden under his mask. "Nnngh... Shut up!" He made an annoyed grunt, becoming increasingly aggravated that this woman was not dead on the ground already. He prepared his buzz axe to block his head, caught by surprised when she actually swiped at his feet instead. He landed flat on his butt, almost not having enough time to roll out of the way of her stab. He jumped up as quickly as he could, now worried that his movements were maybe too easy to read. 'You think?' A voice in his head retorted, and Buddi only growled aggressively in response. He angrily swiped his buzz axe against the ground as hard as he could, sending parts of the earth flying towards Emilia. "I`LL SLICE YOUR EYELIDS SO YOU CAN WATCH THE END!" He shouted, followed by a maniacal laughter.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi watched Emilia carefully, a bit surprised and still utterly baffled by this woman. No one had ever really retorted to something he shouted like that. Usually, everyone just treated it like gibberish and went on. "I... No more words! I`ll eat your pain!" He shouted at her, genuinely upset. He was at a loss now. He didn`t want to be too predictable, and using their terrain was now out of the question since he cut out most of it with his last blow. His eyes scanned the area briefly, falling on a nearby Vulture Team footmen. He grinned wickedly, grabbing the man and stabbing his buzz axe straight into him. He pulled the axe straight out of him moments later, then threw the corpse at The Valkyur with force. "THE CRIMSON MIST IS NUTRITIOUS!"

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi growled loudly. "STOP MAKING SENSE!!" He shouted, holding his head. His pure frutration was building up, giving him a now minor headache. He now remained still, watching Emilia impale the man he threw at her. He didn`t dare make another move, only watching with sudden sadness as Emilia approached him. He involuntarily took a step back as she got too close, though. He looked down at her lance, then to her. His shoulders dropped as he sighed, defeated. He would leave. He didn`t like how this fight was going, anyway. He`d just pick off some more foot men or find Hannibal and help him out. But first, in a small moment of clarity in Buddi`s mind, he needed to know something. He suddenly looked up at Emilia`s guarded face, eyebrows arched. "... Name?" He asked her, holding his buzz axe far away from him to show her that he didn`t plan on attacking her anymore.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Buddi`s eyes visibly softened as he tried to remember her name. Emilia. Emilia. He visibly struggled to speak as he tried to answer her question in return. "... Buddi." He finally answered solemnly. He made a quiet grunt as she told him to go home. He wasn`t really sure where to go, really. He couldn`t retreat, that was out of the question. He looked at his squad, who was having a squabble with some Vulture goons. When he looked back to Emilia she had her sights set on Hannibal. He should probably tackle her to defend his commanding officer; get back into the fight and take her by surprise, but their duel was over and he respected that too much. Still pondering what she said to him, he returned his sights on his squad and jumped in the middle of their fight, bashing in some heads. "I`M HERE TO SHANK AND SMILE!!" And like that, he was back to his usual self.

"Well...I've never used a gun before, but I'll give it a shot!" He knew that he wasn't going to be of any help until enemies came to them, so for the meantime, he pulled the spare gun out of the bag, holding it carefully in his hands. This was going to be a bit difficult...
He held the gun up, trying his best to aim over at Buddi and give Bunny some help with firing at him. He aimed for a moment more, then fired--the kickback on the gun surprising him just slightly as the gun nearly slipped right out of his hands. "Whoa." He looked at the gun in awe for a moment before aiming yet again, tightening his grip so the kickback wouldn't screw him up, then firing a few more shots Buddi's way.

┏━━━━━

Lucius Blocked the shots Hannibal with his boombox augments, some strays had zoomed across his facing leaving scarring and Lucius felt a bullet enter his shoulder. He winced in pain. A few high ranking officers died, it made no difference. As the chaos of Buddi's rampaging went on, Hannibal loaded him self with a light machine gun. He sprayed the metal beast's fury toward the group. "Lucius get me a ride.." Hannibal seethed his order toward Lucius. "Use the thing I had given you.." Hannibal spoke. Lucius nodded and stabbed his neck with the needle using the last of the red drug...He felt great, his body began to pulse with new-found strength, his eyes were filled with ecstasy and pleasure as he carried out his master's orders  

Lucius nodded and carried one of the armored trucks with his augmented arms. Hannibals men sent cover retaliation fire towards Bunny and Bravery. Hannibal stilled fired upon the Vulture troops. "So it was Bunny and that Boy, Bravery. That other one fighting Buddi is unknown." Hannibal mumbled to himself

Lucius walk to Hannibal's side reading the car's launch
"Lucius, launch me." He jumped on top on the lifted truck. LMG still in hand firing upon the grunts of the Vulture forces, making ground meat of them "I love ground beef, KEHAHAAHAA~!" Hannibal mocked the opposing forces as he reach a height where he could peer into the lesser holes where some had hid.
"Lucius now!" Hannibal screamed as he tossed the armored truck towards the Vulture group.

The mad shark shot a flurry of bullets, ending in him in using the last of his personal ammo. But with his height he reign a hell of lead and destruction, murdering most grunt which got in his way.
The truck was barrelling down towards Bravery and Bunny.
"GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH" He roared as the armored truck came crashing down unto the duo traitors it was still high in the air, but it shined in the rays of the sun, like an meteor scaring the skies.
