Tipped Off: Demai, Crossed Mission (13/02/2402)

With the Mercenary Army having tipped off Alexander Drago, the Demai squad was now receiving a number of intelligence reports regarding the situation.  Alexander Drago and another mysterious source had also tipped off the law enforcement of the possible Demai attacks, forcing the team back at Tel Aviv to do their best to reconfigure their satellites in an attempt to mask the approach of their team.

With their progression masked, and Tiana leading the team to minimise the attention which they drew to themselves, this made it impossible for the Drago Enterprises facility to actually acquire police protecting.  This didn’t stop Alexander Drago from ensuring that his facility was on maximum alert in preparation for the attack that he was quite sure was eminent.

“Okay team, our time window is going to be even more critical, so anyone who has not completed their task by the time the cops show up, will be left behind.”  Tiana sounded over the comm. link as she kicked the thrusters of her Arclyte up to maximum and forced the other assault ships to follow her.

As the Heavy Assault vehicle made its way into the sensor range of the facility, Tiana banked hard, avoiding the incoming wave of destruction and throwing her vessel into a spin as the blast sailed past her.  Cy’s transformers also managed to evade the blast, which caught John’s Zeta Wing, instantly crippling the vessel and bringing it down.  Rueben breathed a sigh of relief as the rest of the blast ricocheted off of his shield, only doing minimal damage to his ship.  Tiana wasted no time in taking out the communication tower with four or her Zeta Pulse missiles, but her Arclyte was be considerably deterred from the rest of its assault by the mass of turrets that now focussed in on her ship.

This gave Cy’s transformers the opportunity to get a clean shot on the turrets, drawing the attention from Tiana while Jayce opened fire with his Cluster Missile Launchers.  Jayce smiled faintly as the facility light up with the explosion, turning his ship over to one of the Zeta Frame Operators before he grabbed Kaili and teleported to the location where the Infiltration team had gathered.

Back on the ground now, the team gathered around, splitting into the two main groups, the Assault Team and the Infiltration Team, preparing now to make their way in.  As they engaged their Environmental Blenders, the teams made their way towards the facility, only to be met by a hail of fire from the mass of frame users that made up the beefed up security team.  The Demai would be privy to the first limitation of their blenders, as the zeta based scanners of their enemies easily sensed their ethereal signature despite their invisibility.  Luckily, Jayce, Jais and John did not suffer too much, but Rayne and Alyssa especially found themselves being driven back.  John and Rueben moved to the front of the assault team now, utilising their defensive techniques as they Stormed forward doing their best to close the distance.  Jayce scoffed loudly as he too powered up his techniques, teleporting towards the front wave and releasing a dimensional rift that tore through the frontlines.  As Rueben appeared in front of the frontline now, he switched into his melee mode, spreading his Fear and Lunar Riot to disorient the frame users while his Blackhole Riot started to make quick work of the sniper units.  This distraction made the Demai goal considerably more realistic now, allowing the assault team to move forward now and hopefully pry a hole for the Infiltration Team to move into.  Alyssa moved into the fray as well now, along with the zeta frame users but still found the team to be considerably underpowered when compared to the power of the security unit.  Another Zeta Wing falling from the sky would dawn the team even more, until Tiana decided to grace them with her presence.  A Prism Shot would rip holes in the external security team, allowing Jayce to slip in.  Rayne would raise an eyebrow now as Jais began to move forward as well.  Realising that his stealth plan would not come to fruition, Rayne realised that he and Kaili would need to make their way into the facility on their own.

Luckily, with her Special Ability active, Tiana proved to be more than a match for the mass of frame users that guarded the facility making it easy for Jais to slip by.  Rayne and Kaili would follow suit, both receiving abit more resistance that Jais and Jayce, but eventually being able to break into the facility.

On the inside Jayce was making quick work of the frame operators and users that attempted to stand in his way, not even bothering with his stealth and he just destroyed their forms.  This was somewhat disconcerting for Kaili and Rayne, who were both somewhat disturbed by the bloodshed, but Jais and Cy just moved past their teammate as they attempted to locate the Control room.  With their Phase Thrusters, Jais’ perforation and Cy’s Fuse, moving through the walls of the facility was more than easy, meaning that it would not be long before he could actually locate the control room.

“This way…” Would be sounded as Jais stuck his head through the closed door of Control Room to direct traffic, before he refocused on the Controllers with Whistlers who were trying to destroy him.  “Lasers?” Jais laughed, powering up his Omega Drive to give him increased control over the entire material spectrum, including all that frequencies of EM.

This made it even harder to destroy the channeler, who proved to be quite annoying by destroying a number of the peripherals in the room as he waited for Jayce and Cy to arrive and provide the offensive support. 

Back on the outside, Alyssa had fallen, forcing John to defend her user form as the zeta-frame operators attempted to evacuate her body.  Luckily, with Rule having shown up, finally arriving after the completion of the destruction of the external turrets.  With his Black Knight powered up and his output pushed to the limit, the youngster now wasted no time bringing the pain to his opponents, allowing the team to finally complete the external assault before moving in.

The team would find Jayce, Rayne and Kaili pinned down, an occurrence that had pushed Jayce into his R.E.D. mode.  Even with the additional power however, being just one man, Jayce was unable to push all of the forces back.  Cy had recently arrived, and in his Omega Drive, provide support, but with all of the damage that he had taken, he had to be very careful about just how offensive he was going to be. 

In the attempts to liberate their Hackers, Rueben would also fall, having exhausted his ability to Perfect Guard in the external battle.  This left the team without the tactical support of the Itami, making their task that more difficult.  Rayne and Rule would fall as well before Tiana, Jayce and Cy finally managed to carve a path for Kaili.  As Kaili made it into the Control Room, she would find the controllers for the most part incapacitated thanks to Jais having turned their weapons against them.  Kaili would tap into the facility’s systems, she would utilise the few remaining seconds to do as much damage as she could.

An Overdriven Tiana, Jayce and Cy would carve a path back to the exit, allowing the team to board their vehicles and make their way off under fire from the recently arrived police force.  They would be forced to leave the overly damaged vehicles, utilising Tiana’s Arclyte to transport the reverted and those without ships away from the facility and back to Tel Aviv.

Outcome: The facility has suffered considerable damage, though none has been irreparable.  The act did however cost Drago Enterprises millions of dollars in resources.  Mission complete.
