Ana's blast from the Mega Buster Cannon caught one of the Axios unaware, blowing away the lower half of the unit completely, leaving it to awkwardly tumble to the sand, a hissing wreck. Strangely, no pilot emerged from it to escape, despite the clear danger.
The remaining Axios, undeterred, continued their advance - until they were sufficiently halted by the spray of Prisca's gatling cannon, causing them to to halt and crouch, weary of closing the gap any further. Supporting fire from the Tripoli and the two remaining MP Huckebeins joined her effort, clearly grateful to follow her lead - and she was rewarded by seeing one of the Axios blown apart by one of the Rhinoceros' main guns. The victory was short lived, however, as a lance of fire from one of the Sniper PTs burned into the Tripoli's batteries, scything apart the barrel, and causing a chain of small explosions to ripple across the battleship's surface.
Meanwhile, Eliza was chewing her lower lip and thinking of where to start, when Ana's communication interrupted her thoughts, causing the Special to glance down at the diminuitive machine.
"T-throw you?" She stammered, unsure of how serious the woman was.
Memories of being picked last in gym class, of tripping while rounding bases into a faceful of dirt, and holding the bat upside down flooded Eliza's thoughts... but regardless, she picked up Ana's Gespenst in the Chaos Leo's claws, delicately. In the distance, she picked out the form of the sniper Huckebein, thanks to Alica's expert spotting... and licked her lips. This, she thought, was what specialized Motion Patterns were for, as she selected the unorthodox motion for the Special's movements.
The Chaos Leo gently curled the Gespenst into a crouch... and then, its face guard clamped down, as Dimensional flames erupted from its shoulders and mane, filling it with power. Standing on one foot, it reached back with the hand containing the Gespenst, shoulder twisting as it did to turn the black machine in fast circles, until it was only a blur - like the biggest baseball pitcher in history.
Oh, right, she remembered. Times like these, there was something else important you were supposed to do:
Yell.
"UWWOOOOOAAAAAH!"
The Chaos leo's foot stomped forward, discharging energy that instantly turned the sand below into multi-colored glass. Tendrils of energy lashed out behind it, making it light up across the battlefield. Bullets from the Axios sent its way simply melted away, or peeled off in the face of the display of power.
"ULTIMATE! DIMENSION! SPLITTEEEEEER!"
It's hand blurred as it finally lashed forward.
"DEEEYEAAAAGH!"
With a crack like thunder, the Special hurled the supercharged Gespenst like a missile, a bolt of Dimensional energy that cut through the sky like a spear towards it's unlucky target - the Huckebein among the ruins.
