"L-Leroy!" Noir yelled to the Captain to snap him out of the Awe as another rush of wind came flying through the battlefield! Zeke and Murausagi clashing again! It seemed that every few aftershocks seemed to have a glow from Murausaghi's side, separate from his light construct's impacts!
The Captain's eyes shot Back to his crew! The Harbinger now looked damage Its back thruster was mangled, but it did well timed quick jumps through the air and boosted and redirected its momentum with the thrusters from its calves, Lasers shooting and the Crew Doing their best to dodge mere moments before it fired off!
Noir leapt up and slammed a foot into the back of the Things head causing a small dent, Calliope then used her Magnetic Abilities to 'Grab' the head of the Harbinger and have it reel backwards and slam into the ground! But the Harbingers internal mechanisms prevented the sweating form of The Red Sash Shipwright from accomplishing the task!
"Cmon you damn bastard!" She swore as her hands were clenched tight! Her movements were like if she were heaving an invisible anchor from the ocean! Her feet shifted and dug into the ground, cracking from the force she was grounding herself!
"Keep it up Cali!" Leroy Said as he was running forward! He dashed across the distance, destroying the ground as he cocked a hand back! "Gum Gum!" His hand enlarged to 4 times his size and shot forward! Slamming into the Harbinger with an immense boom! "Grenade!"
Much like the weapon the move was named after, he was attempting to Suppress and deny the Cybernetic Android by sending him skidding and slipping backwards! Its feet slammed hard into the ground, again and again as it attempted to steady itself
With a slide of its robotic foot, it came to a stop and raised its hand, Palm glowing and firing off another beam through to the middle of the Crew! Yet another large explosion radiating out! The Finely calculated amounts of energy and precision causing it to expand to an exact radius without fail!
The explosion acted just as The Captain's attack did! Causing the Crew to reel backwards! It was thinking Tactically! Almost as if now due to its previous Safe Locks being undone, it was adjusting the commands it had been given on its own accord!
The crew hit the dirt, small scratches and scrapes covering their bodies, dirt coating and staining their clothes that they had chosen out for what they'd expected to be a nice relaxing day on an Island like Desamare!
Kirk's hair was matted to his face. Dirt across his cheeks as his chest heaved from the effort. He felt like he was being roasted alive from all these flashes of heat. The rest of the crew was the same way. Grime covering their forms and clothes as they got back to their feet limply
"GO!" Leroy Screamed! Causing the Crew to split again! It was total devastation that they were facing! Every attack they seemed to throw its way, every glancing blow, every counter! Seemed to just be getting weaker and weaker! But the Harbiner was getting stronger and stronger!
But of course they were. These Were Harbingers. The Sea Scourge. Meant to Face off against any Pirate under a Specific Bounty. They were a one machine army. Comparable to entire battalions over a dozen times over!
The Standard Battalion of the Navy is made up of 1,000 Troops. Each within the Ranks of Recruit to Warrant Officers, each split into different companies. Each of these are led by a Lieutenant with them all reporting to a captain. All of these troops are given access and report to 4 Battleships, which themselves have the equivalent of 24 tons of Ammunition. Artillery with a little more than half. And standard ammunition being up to a thousand rounds on their persons. And often these Companies were given vehicles, rather that be; tanks, horses, or automotives.
And Harbingers were worth a dozen of these. Capable of Handling entire City Populations and locations. They could reduce these populaces to nothing but rubble. Given either their full all out attacks and destruction that utilizes all of their energy within their cores, or however much time they need to handle a threat. Land, Sea, or Air. These Machines can handle any meager pirate or criminal element that the Government and Navy deems just
"Haff…Haff…" Dezzi Panted as they were the one that was currently responsible for the Care of Jeanne. There hadn't been enough time in the commotion to get her into one of the faster crew members! "Haff…Kaff Kaff…" They coughed hard as their Helmi Form was starting to strain them harshly. They popped the next vile to activate sulong on top of their current form. Growing their form largely, and increasing their speed! With a deep breath they shot forward!
"Just a bit further Jeanne!" Jeanne groaned in understanding- The Harbinger was however quickly deducing who were the main priority. Its sensors detected changes in vital signs from a far, dictating that the two of the Weakest and Easiest to take out were Dezzi and Jeanne!
Appearing before the two! The Harbinger planted a fist into the Mink! Causing them to drop Jeanne, another yelp of pain came from the Markswoman as he rolled hard against the ground. Dezzi flipped over themself, but the moment they got up to try and retaliate, it was gone!
Calliope was hopping through the air on Metal Platforms she formed and undid with each step! Huffing and sweat soaking her clothes as she was trying to get as high as possible, only for the Harbinger to shift focus to her! She raised a hand to block! As she Bulked up her arm with metal, a beam shot through her arm and exploded the prosthetic into a mess of superheated orange hot molten metal! The Android then slammed a hand into her! Sending her straight into the ground!
Eddie was next! A leg stomping him into the ground!
Noir Attempted to block with his shin, be it merely grabbed him by the leg, squeezed hard enough that he swore he heard a crack, and was then smashed into the ground with for to crater it!
Kale attempted a block and a counter with Jager, But he was just too slow from the fighting moments prior, allowing for a fireball from the machines launcher to explode into his face! Disorienting him and causing him to fall!
Raven, Kirk and Leroy were Running together and turned just in time to see the events of their comrades being engaged, Leroy hopped in front of the moment before the Harbinger appeared! His fist cocked and ready to deliver yet another devastating blow to push away the Habringer…
But-
The Moment it's hand was outreached, Palm glowing and ready to fire off a laser bolt. A Burst of wind came from right next to it as something suddenly took up the space next to it!
"You are unwanted here…" Spoke the cool monotone voice of the real Benjamin Condent!
Hand Slamming into the Machine, causing it to-
Disappear!
