"Jet! Arc explosives over the Guardian! I'll deal with the Striker!" D shouts. "All out bro, and now is not the time to reload," Jet replies, pulling out a 40mm grenade and hurling it over the Guardian. He swings up the Ripper, intending to hit the grenade mid-flight and detonate it that way- but the Marksmen evidently has the same thought. A bright blue cannon bolt explodes out from behind the Guardian, causing an explosion as it slams into the grenade before Jet even has a chance to line up his sights. Mike is firing at the Guardian, whose shield remains nearly impenetrable to small arms fire.

"ASSBURGERS." John charges up a general burst of wind energy, hoping to disperse the smokescreen (Roll + Wind at my Back = 2), but as he releases the gust, it causes a back-draft that sends more smoke into John's face. Coughing and hoping that Jackson can deal with the Support, John almost doesn't hear the faint hum behind him. He grabs his Fluted Knife and starts to turn when a stabbing pain in his lower back makes him go rigid, turning his whirling slash into an awkward wave. The Assassin still hops back, yanking out its blade from John and reactivating its adaptive camouflage with a quick flicker. John pants as he feels blood ooze from the wound. He can still move and breathe freely, so it looks the stab missed his spine and lungs. "♥♥♥♥ coward..." The smokescreen begins to clear up, and John sees Jackson rushing towards him, firing at the now retreating Support. "Looks like the two of 'em are actin' as an ambush unit, doin' hit 'n runs to keep us off-balance. You alright?" "Not sure... I think I'll live, though."

Stab Wound (Lower back, minor blood loss; -1 to rolls due to pain, -2 to quick movement)

Aicaya attempts to continue her evasive maneuvers when she suddenly trips on the very flat ground. "FUUU-" The Brute's minigun bears down on her and, thinking quickly, she generates a variation of Terra Spike in front of her- a large lump of a rock- which starts shuddering and chipping as the hail of bullets peel away at it. Only the weight of Aicaya's armor (Roll + Grounded = 2) keeps her from being totally blown to bits, but she can't move. "HEY GUYS WOULD YOU MIND HELPING ME WITH THE SINGLE MOST DAMAGING ENEMY THANKS."

"Jet! Arc explosives over the Guardian! I'll deal with the Striker!" D shouts. Without waiting for a response, D flicks out his bladed shield and puts all of his energy into a stampede of a rush towards the Striker. The bot doesn't even have time to react as D puts all of his weight into a half-tackle, half-slash swipe into the midriff of the Striker that sends it into the air, the front of its armor cracked open like a broken shell. It slams into the ground with a thud, raises a PDW to fire at D, and is stopped by a barrage of ZIGER fire into its head and exposed torso.

Mike fires his last round at the Guardian, trying to suppress him, but his semi-automatic rifle doesn't really slow down the Guardian's progress at all. "Yeah, let's not waste ammo," Mike decides, reloading his rifle.

Primary Weapon: Jackson [5|8]
---A heavily modified semi-automatic rifle, derivative of the twentieth century M14.

Jackson, caught in the smoke cloud, crouches down and turns constantly to watch for any sign of ambush, his Shredder raised and ready to go. As the smoke starts to clear a little, he hears a faint noise behind him, and turns to see John as he drops to his knees, with the Assassin leaping away and vanishing with a flicker. Jackson also notices the Support, closer than ever, turn around and start to retreat. He fires towards the fleeing bot as he runs over to John to check on him. "Looks like the two of 'em are actin' as an ambush unit, doin' hit 'n runs to keep us off-balance. You alright?" "Not sure... I think I'll live, though."
