Rariku heard the scrape of metal on metal, as Jai started carving his hole.
”What the heck do you think you’re doing! Stop! Do you know how long it took me to paint this thing! Aaaagh!”
Seeing as how Jai wasn’t planning to stop, Rariku took the lesser of two evils. The mecha jumped up and attempted to crush the villain who dared defile its paint job, by simply falling on its back.
“Wha-?! Gah... !!”
Unable to wrench himself loose in time, Jai is smashed hard into the ground beneath the machine.
The machine slid along the ground before standing, trying to scrape Jai off. Upon standing it spun around to inspect its handiwork, sword ready in hand.

Wings broken, dislocated shoulder, can’t feel arm or legs...
Lying flat on the ground, Jai evaluates the excruciating waves of pain. His powerful armor protected everything it covered from being crushed, especially his head and torso, but pretty much any part of him that could bend got bent.
He rolls onto his side with a wince and a grunt and sits most of the way up, ignoring the agony. He reaches over and forces a reset on his shoulder as he slowly gets back to his feet, numerous unpleasant cracking sounds coming from his body when he moves. Still, he manages to stand, flexing his neck back and forth as he glares up at the mecha. Another rocket launcher forms in his hands, and he breathes,
Jai allows Badrar to help him up, putting his weight on the General to keep it off his injury.
”Thanks... “
In one lightning-fast, fluid motion, Jai whips out a sidearm, shoves it into a gap in the General’s side armor, and rapidly pulls the trigger not once, not twice, but 7 times. The gunshots ring out across the whole area, and Jai prepares himself for retaliation by shoving the General away from him and pulling out a shield. Evidently, his “twisted leg” was a farce.
Badrar gasps, staring at Jai. "You..." The General sways, before collapsing to the ground, his Chi orb falling from the harness and rolling away.
The doctor who was summoned to examine Jai freezes, staring in horror. A few others Bats see, and shout for guards, as they are not carrying weapons, just spades and other tools.

IC: A teenage bat farmboy from the Grassy Plains settlements, who came to help in any way he could, sees Badrar get blasted. Bat farmboy: "NO!!!" He quickly flies over to the General and grabs Badrar by the armpits, hauling him away from the battle between the Mech and the evil eagle. The farmboy and many Crawler medics who arrived help Badrar and the other injured bats and eagles into white Stinger-Copters and Hunter-Choppers, each medical vehicle marked with a green cross. Now all the remaining eagles and Crawlers still in the damaged parts of the spire are evacuated, and taken to hospitals inside the many factories below.

”That all you got?”
Konuba stares at him for a second, the pilot trying to understand the science explaining how Jai can stand, and utterly fails.
”Well, you sure are determined, I’ll give you that much. But are you sure you want to continue this in your current state? There’s no good that comes from kicking a defeated foe.”

”Well, you sure are determined, I’ll give you that much. But are you sure you want to continue this in your current state? There’s no good that comes from kicking a defeated foe.”
“Y-you got in the way... you had no right.”
His damaged visor gives a heads-up on mass movement, and he notices the Bats had gotten away.
”I... h-had... them. You like to... protect Bats? Then die for them.”
He pulls the trigger, and the launcher fires two consecutive rockets straight at the mecha’s mouth/midsection. The recoil knocks him off his feet, and he drops onto his back, gasping in pain.

Konuba tanks the hits, getting knocked onto its back in the process. It promptly gets back up, missing a couple teeth and a section of its left midsection. In respose Konuba swings a kick to punt the Jai into the next topic, stopping to watch him fly.
Afterwards Rariku would climb out of his mech to survey the damage. “This will take forever to repair... Dang eagle... Where was he hiding those weapons?”

Now all the remaining eagles and Crawlers still in the damaged parts of the spire are evacuated, and taken to hospitals inside the many factories below.
IC: Many towns begin to be built all over the land, for both Crawlers and eagles to live in. A large wall begins to be built around the Eagle territory and the southeast portion of the Grassy Plains (which the Crawlers own), much like the giant wall that goes around the croc HQ and the formerly unclaimed land.

OOC: Hey, woah, hold up there.
IC: Jai throws his arms up to brace for the blow, and a resounding clang echoes across the area as a great cloud of dust is thrown up around him. Konuba might be thrown off-balance when the weight of its lower leg disappears. As the dust settles, Jai lowers his arms slightly and looks up with widened eyes to see a tall female fox standing directly over him, holding an absolutely massive sword with the tip of its fiery blue blade buried in the earth. Konuba is missing the lower half of its leg. She shouts,

Konuba stumbles back, as he now finds himself with 3/4s of a leg. It balances itself on its remaining leg, using its sword to help support itself.

She smirks, and effortlessly tears the giant blade from the earth and hefts it to rest over her shoulder. She jabs her thumb into her chest, exclaiming,
“Name’s Vela! How about you pick on someone your own size?”

Jai, who’s still lying under her, growls,
”I... don’t need... your help... “
”Shut up, you.”
The mecha stared down Vela. “Hmph. I see.” It pushed itself onto its one foot, and brought down its sword down onto Vela
The muffled, yet distinctive sound of rotors spinning above his head, accompanied by occasional radio chatter filled his ears. Flight Lieutenant Ivan Lev turned on his microphone and issued orders to the flight of helicopters he commanded:
"This is Able Leader to Able Flight, we are approaching the combat zone. I'll, uh, go forward to scout, Able two, follow me. As for the others, guard the column. Out."
It was his first combat operation. Until now, he had been doing fine, although he thought it was nothing to write home about. Out of the formation, two helicopters sped away forwards. From his gunner seat, he adjusted his gunner monocle to scan the great spires built by the Eagles. Ivan then unleashed a small string of unintelligible words in surprise.
"The reports were right!" said the lieutenant to his pilot after recovering, "It looks like the blew a whole face off, those mad apes! Thermals seem to indicate fighting at the bottom too... Let's go back before one of the insects spots us."
The two helicopters then hastily turned around to reach the column of AFVs discretely advancing.
-distant Overwatch sirens are heard and the voice echos as they deteced their biological signals and sounded the alarms-
“Attention Ground Protection Teams... anti-civil forces reported in this community. Code: Lock. Cauterize. Stablize.”
-Soon, they are hailed with AA fire from the bats below (correct me if im wrong about anything), and Overwatch Gunships let out their synthy roars before intercepting lion transports as they fly into battle, Bat Wingstrikers covering the Synths as they draw fire away from them-
-Soon the lions whom are under attack receive a radio transmission with the location of origin desginated as “Forgotten N.L.E.”-
Col. Edessa Cubbage: “Ah! Combine buggers messing about with you, Felines? Well well well, dont mind if we help aid you! I am Col. Edessa Cubbage at your service, an Eagle whom is smitten with anger at those apes for destroying the Eagle’s homeland! We share the same idea and it is time you lions recognize the Forgotten as a valuable ally! Rocket teams, into position and take down those Gunships with your laser-guided rockets! Tally ho!” -his voice bellowed in a very british accent before eagle-screetching and the radio transmission cut out-
-soon a few divisions of 300 rocket trooper backed by companys of Medics and Regular grunts arrive from the south to help aind in the Lion’s sudden ambush-
OOC: Companies are 150 men each, (13 vehicles in the case of tanks), and divisions consist of between 10,000 to 20,000 men.
IC:
"Able One, this is Able Two, we are detecting around two companies of individuals on the ground, armed with improvised rockets. Over"
"Copy Able Two, move beyond MANPADS range, you are weapons free, engage any element you deem hostile, but focus on the gunships. Able Team, we request backup. Out."
Ivan felt the acceleration of the AH-5 gunships graciously lifting themselves up and away from all the new forces, and he set his sight on an unfortunate Wing Striker through his targeting monocle. He pressed a button on the control column and a short burst of projectiles sailed off to pierce the doomed craft. His pilot congratulated him on his shooting, and he continued firing at the hostile aircraft.

Jai, who’s still lying under her, growls,

”Shut up, you.”
The mecha stared down Vela. “Hmph. I see.” It pushed itself onto its one foot, and brought down its sword down onto Vela
Vela rushes forward, grabbing her sword with both hands and slamming the flat of it against the base of the mecha’s for a strong parry, knocking its blow off-course enough to miss her and Jai. She then swings the blade of the sword hard in the opposite direction when she’s underneath the mecha, hacking deep into the side of its remaining leg.
”What even are you, and why are you attacking the Eagles?!”

Konuba jumps up over tha blade, falling on its back with a heavy thud.
”He started it by shooting a bunch of people!”
The mecha twists around to try and pin Vela with its empty hand.
