[b]Tartys[/b]

Things were going very quick, that much was obvious as Tartys dealt with her current opponent. Torag had joined the field, and the demons in disarray had only made their job easier as they could focus down on the Machina. and for the force they had brought, the Machina seemed remarkably undergunned. Maybe they were getting desperate, or just hadn't planned to show up. It asn't any concern of hers though.

She was just coming up when a massive explosion ripped through the air, perhaps bigger than the one that had been used on the demons before. It tore through the battlements, destroying emplacements and ripping through rock to scour the mountainside that was nearby. Even Tartys had to fight to keep on her feet with the shockwave. The light was blinding, and needless to say it did not do the culprit any favors as far as personal opinion went.

"That was-gah!" While Tartys had been remarking about the explosion, she was unaware of being in the crosshairs of the sniper on the airship. As such, she didn't exactly have the chance to dodge. In fact she probably would have died, had it not been for the explosion that sent shockwaves through the air, and the black hole that someone had dropped on the field to alter the trajectory of the bullet. Rather than being killed she was merely grazed, sent tumbling with blood spilling. She wasn't dead, but needless to say she was not in a great place.

Tatiana turned back, only to see that Marquis was staying on the ship and sniping things rather than joining the fight down with them. Alright then, if that was what he wanted to do then so be it. She wouldn't worry too much and instead focused on the fight that was at hand, to do the job she had been called here for. 

Listening to the commands of their commander and viewing the map that had been prepared, Tatiana nodded in understanding. "Got it," she confirmed after a moment. It seemed simple enough, and she had no desire to interfere in whatever it was that Bastion was doing. Though she had the feeling that it would be harder to do than to actually say. Well, with that in mind she headed off, following along with the others as they moved through the halls of the volcano. 

Fortunately it wasn't that difficult, since most of the defenders were focused on the outside of the mountain. Tatiana had kept from flying in order to not give themselves away, but she had kept her guns at the ready on the off chance that she needed them. She hadn't, but it made her feel better as the group paused momentarily for the commander to go over some things. She nodded in affirmation as they were directed towards the teleporter room, in order to ensure their escape. 

It turned out that the room was guarded when they arrived, unfortunate but not impossible to deal with. she prepared herself for a fight even as Hibiki laid out the plan, ready to follow it and do what had to be done to win this. So she stayed ready, and when the duo swung into action she did as well. Wings extended as thrusters flared, throwing her into the room at high speed, and at the same time she lined up the shot and fired in mid motion, striking at the flying angel with her rifle before twisting to shoot at the ones on the ground. The quicker they ended this the better, and she was glad that the training previously was now proving handy.
