The Land of Enchantment [Ben's Impact Crew]

[The Aero Force]

The helicopter touched down. "This is far as we can go, turbulence is coming up." "Understood. Head back to base, we'll call for pickup when we need it." Stephen replied, and after the boots hit the ground, the chopper lifted off.

"Ok, so I'd say the site we heard about is this way." Arthur pointed. "Right. That other group is one step ahead. Authorized to engage if they do first."

"Hah." Arthur chuckled. "Let them pick a fight with us, much glory will be had." "Only if we have to." "I've got ya Captain. Let's go."

And so the two Aeros began the hike on foot. It was about a mile or so to the northwest, over hills and the like...

[Sam and Miguel]

"Boss! We got company!" Miguel said, running back to where they were.
"Alright boys. Arm up." Lisabetta said, pulling on a Kevlar vest.
"Masks?" Jonathan asked, checking his knives.
"Eh, why not?" Lisabetta said, pulling her own mask on. Miguel pulled his on, and went into the brush, positioning himself with his rifle for an ambush on the approaching Aeros.

[The Aero Force]

The two had on their gear, bulletproof vests, kevlar, that kind of thing. Along with the Windcall transportation devices. The Captain's Shield was strapped on his back, able to be removed at a moment's notice. Both of them continued walking towards the site...reasonably suspicious but having no idea of where an ambush might come from at that moment.

[Sam and Miguel]

"Miguel, do it." Lisabetta said through the radio. Jonathan and Lisabetta were positioned on the other side of the path from Miguel, hidden in the scenery. Miguel centered his rifle on the short-haired one's head and squeezed off a three-round burst.

[The Aero Force]

Cap heard the sound of the rifle being fired, and 1 second after that his hand went behind his back, two seconds, was loosening the shield, and three and a half seconds, had pulled the shield up and over him into a guard position on his left arm, which stopped the rounds harmlessly.

Arthur is on alert, full battle instincts coming into play, looking around...

[Sam and Miguel]

"Geezusfuck, that's fast." Miguel muttered.
"We might as well kick into high gear. Don't transform quite yet." Lisabetta said, standing and approaching from the side of the path, opening fire on Arthur with her own rifle. Jonathan began working his way to a point behind the pair, for a sneak attack, while Miguel also stood, opening fire on Stephen.

[The Aero Force]

Arthur jumped backwards, out of the line of fire, then picks up a small sized boulder, and throws it at Lisabetta.

Stephen blocks the shots again, and after seeing the man stand up, he throws the shield's sharp edge at the man.

[Sam and Miguel]

Miguel dropped to the ground, the shield passing overhead. "Definitely one of the more inventive weapons I've seen in a while." He said, firing at Stephen from a prone position.
Lisabetta danced out of the line of fire, pulling her pistol and continuing to fire.
Jonathan was continuing to move, getting close to a good position behind Arthur, but still concealed.

[The Aero Force]

The shield comes back after clanging off of a rock, and Stephen jumps up, retrieving it out of the air as he comes down with both feet near where Miguel was, shaking the ground slightly when he landed.


Arthur meanwhile ducks behind another boulder, and attempts to make his way in a direction that he believes will flank Lisabetta. Unfortunately this could be the same way that Jonathan was going.

[Sam and Miguel]

Miguel rolled away and popped to his feet, drawing his sword and swinging at Stephen.
Lisabetta holstered her pistol and brought her rifle back to bear, keeping vigilant.
Jonathan, seeing Arthur pass within feet of him in the bushes, pulled out one knife slowly, so as to not be discovered, and began to approach slowly from behind.

[The Aero Force]

Stephen angles his shield to block, and goes for a heavy punch to the man's midsection.

Arthur's brace alerts him to something, and he stops, opening up GPS mode and looking at the area immediately around his position. Of course, he's stopped, he's a moving target and somewhat distracted....but not for long.

[Sam and Miguel]

Miguel sucked his stomach in, using the backward momentum of his sword bouncing off of the shield to dodge the punch by mere inches, before swinging the sword down at the extended arm.
Jonathan abandoned stealth, aiming a stab for the base of Arthur's spinal column.

[The Aero Force]

Stephen retracts the arm, using said arm to trap the sword by the blunt side inbetween his shoulders and his body. He uses the shield, aiming a big hit at Miguel's face and chest.

The moment stealth was abandoned, a red dot flared up behind him, Arthur turned around, his one hand going for Jonathan's wrist, the other fist going for a left hook to his face.

[Sam and Miguel]

Miguel leaned back, putting his weight onto his sword hand in an effort to throw Stephen off-balance and create an opening.
Jonathan's head dipped and his other hand produced a Bowie knife, driving towards Arthur's gut.

[The Aero Force]

Stephen uses a sweep kick to momentarily distract Miguel before gripping the sides of the sword blade with his hand and pulling...with all of his strength. Disarming his opponent would help.

The knife penetrated the full body vest...and was stopped by it, as Arthur's arm that was avoided comes down, going around Jonathan's neck, in a one-armed neck lock. With that in hand, he goes for a headbutt.
