	There was a lot going on, but most of the magical girls more or less did as Amber requested, which was a pleasant suprise. The only time she had really been in command of more people than this was when she was still a hardware store manager. Their goal was a bit different, but how she led remained unchanged. The goal of anyone in a leadership position is to complete an objective. The best way to do that was to give tasks to people who could complete them, and give them as much freedom as possible. This often increased job satisfaction and let a manager see what an employee was capable of on their own. 

	As soon as Sue and Eli returned with the winged magical girl, Amber gave them new orders. “Sue! Take control of the main gun.”

	“Right!” Sue turned unto a bird and flew off. While earth bastion did have rows and rows of guns on the side of the ship, they each needed magical girls to use them. And because Amber wasn't drowning in magical girls, it didn't seem wise to use the guns. Especially with how spread out and evasive the enemy was. However, Earth bastion was more tank than ship, and it had a large cannon on top that could be aimed in all directions. With Sue's limited combat abilities, it made the most sense to have her operate the turret.

	“Eli, um.” Amber sighed. With so many cameras around earth Bastion, she wasn't oblivious to Penny or Shade's predicament. They would need to be rescued. “How about you assist Helga? And Mariette, see if you can put a portal near those tongues. They might be more vulnerable.” Amber braced herself as one of the gorelions slammed into the side of the ship. “Everyone else, prepare for turbulent seas!” Amber steered earth bastion towards the two downed gorelions to the north. With the creatures laying on their sides, she was confident she could roll right over their bodies. With any luck, they'd get chewed up under the tank's treads before Shade became gorelion lunch. Amber steered to the west to prepare for this manuver. Both to make sure she didn't run over shade, but also to attempt harming the gorelion that rammed the ship.

	Sue changed back into a human, as it was the only way she was going to operate the main cannon. Now in human form, she lowered herself into the gunner's seat and closed the hatch overhead.  A gorelion had already jumped onto the ship, and she was struggling to figure out how to aim the device. She was busy trying to recruit magical girls, so this was Sue's first time trying to use the cannon. Fortunately, it was a simple joystick control. There were a ton of other buttons, and Sue didn't know what they were for. But she was quite confident the big red button on top of the joystick was used to fire the cannon. So for now, she was set.  “Alright...” Sue angled the cannon so that it was pointing directly at the gorelion's face. “Get away from her you [i]hussy[/i]! And with that, she slammed her thumb on the big red button and... nothing happened. She would click it several more times, but Sue was unaware that the cannon had to be loaded before it could fire. At least for the moment.

	Sue's cannon hadn't been loaded before the battle for a very specific reason, however.

	Tonya was able to use her gravity magic to disarm the turret, knowing that it wouldn't be used until it was time to save Libby-Bibby or whatever, who was secretly an enemy spy. It baffled Tonya how Eli and Sue recruited a plant when they had a list of magical girls to go after that were not, you know, horrible people. But it was whatever at this point.

	If Amber could just keep the ship upright, that would be wonderful.
