Sophia, watching Nine get lost, rounded up the 'Pluggers' and led them to the outskirts of the town. She stopped and pointed groundwards. [color=8882be]"Start digging. Fast as possible."[/color] After a while, working together, they made a decent dent into the sand. Eventually, they hit metal, and Sophia reassured them to continue. [color=8882be]"That... Unknown may be destroying the others to the point we probably don't need to assist.. but we still should. Let's show him what we can do 'on a budget', huh? Hah."[/color]

Nine, meanwhile deactivated his boosters once he had made his way into the outskirts of the town. The streets of the town were filled with what looked like soldiers ransacking most houses on both sides of the street, with alot more of them on the road itself.
Nine smiled at the sight.
[color=00FF00]"I can't decide whether this is going to be boring or fun."[/color] He said to himself as he leapt in the air.
A second later he landed amidst the sea of soldiers on the street. The sound of cracking bones resonated from under the legs of his black NC as he crushed at least four of them on impact.

The group of infantrymen, for obvious reasons, instantly panicked at the change of pace. They began firing on the NC, trying to shoot sensors into submission or damage hydraulics, but to no avail. Even if they did hit anything, their rifles weren't designed for [i]this[/i]. A few of them, fuel still in their paratroopers' jetpacks, hopped and flew away from Nine's NC. One, the leader of this batch, talked to his compatriots. "Tank Commander 3, 5, 6, please assist, Sixth enemy NC operating and attacking us." "Roger, IC 2, TC 3 and 5 coming in to assist. 6 is already there."

With that, a tank drove up and began targeting, letting out a shell towards Nine, alongside a barrage from its' HMG, which obviously didn't do much, aside from take out a few of its' allies in friendly fire.

Nine laughed at the petty attempt. [color=00FF00]"Is that what you're bringing to the table against an NC ?!"[/color]
The shells from the HMG merely hit the side of his now deployed left arm blade as he side-stepped the assault, crushing atleast a dozen more men in the process. He then boosted straight towards the enemy tank.

It continued 'laying down the firepower' with its' HMG, but to no avail, for reasons obvious. Its' main gun autoloader readied another shell and fired, this one was a Sabot round, specially designed against an NC. 

Compared to NC's which raised their weapons before firing, Nine had no way of predicting when the tank would fire. The time it took for the shell to reach him allowed him just enough time to partially side-step out of the way of the shell. However, while doing so, he rose his blade up just in the path of the shell. The blade skid across the side of the shell closer to him, leaving a trail of sparks as it was deflected to the side, barely missing his NC's head.

By now, Nine was close enough to the tank for it to not be able to retaliate effectively, more curshed men were left in his wake as he approached it. He boosted to the side of the tank, his railgun still at the ready in his right hand. Three shots and the tank flipped upside down, almost crushing a house on the side of the road, as it partially disintegrated. More men were cut to pieces by the shrapnell from the tank.

Shortly afterwards, as that group of men was pretty much eradicated, two more tanks came into view to Nine's right at a roundabout, these ones seemed to have missile pods strapped onto their turrets, a total of two on each vehicle. In addition, Nine could notice two walkers the other way, seemingly grabbing random people they found and putting them in their cargo-pods.

[color=00FF00]"This is getting tedious. I'm done playing around."[/color] Nine remarked, his tone darker than ever.
He then turned to his right and aimed straight for the barrel of the left most tank. The slug fired by him entered through the barrel of the tank without even scratching the sides of it, causing a sizable fireball as the turret blew apart.

TC 6, the commander of the tank remaining, could be faintly heard barking orders and status updates. "This is TC-6, All forces-All forces on my position! Fire those damn rockets, shoot everything! Th-this is insane!"

Seven infantrymen flew to the general area, uniquely, these ones had rocket-propelled grenades. They landed on one of the buildings, crouched, took aim, and fired as the tank began doing the same, firing off one of its' own missiles. Seven RPG's to his left, and one tank-grade anti-armor missile in front of him.

Nine boosted forwards towards the tank to avoid the rockets fired by the infantry, heading straight for the missile fired by the tank. Mere meters away from the missile he once again pulled off something that seemed impossible. He grabbed the back of the missile and flung it around, directing it towards the infantry. The roof of the building some of them were stood on blew apart as the missile hit in their vicinity. Nine's boost continued on towards the tank itself, his railgun aimed at it's barrel in case it fired.

Just as plotted, it did fire, another Sabot round, as the last tank did. While aiming at the barrel after it fired was a chore in the case of the first tank, this time that problem was out of the way and simply firing took only a split of a second. Shrapnel flew in all directions as the shell and the slug smashed into each other, some of them lodging themselves in the armor of Nine's NC. Nine then boosted upwards and landed right on top of the tank. He straight up ripped the remaining missile off it's turret and then smashed the hand that was holding the missile through the top of the turret, following it with a boost upwards and a shot aimed right at the missile itself. The missile detonated inside the turret causing a massive explosion, ripping the entire tank apart, while also sending debris into nearby buildings.

[color=00FF00]"Oh maaan. I just can't stop figuring out creative ways to destroy stuff."[/color] Nine exclaimed in utter joy, in an almost childish tone.
