[i]The battle had already begun. The Chinese army was already bombarding its opposition from the skies. With quick thoughts from Ari, a shield was able to protect them for the time being. This gave them an advantage of going right on the offensive, to counter the Chinese Army's advance. While Regil was slightly stupefied from all the chaos that was already unsettling in the field, a man apparently younger than him courteously reached him.[/i]

His voice betrayed no hint of how [i]handsome[/i] Regil was to him as he said, "That would be me. Second Lieutenant Noel Alonso; I'm the Provisional Commander of this unit. And no, I have not seen Lady Regina yet."
[/quote]
[color=8493ca]"I see, thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lieutenant Alonso. I'll save the pleasantries for after the battle, for now."[/color] [i]Regil answered. As much as he wanted to introduce himself, time was of the essence.[/i]

[quote=@Letter Bee]
"We need shields and Anti-Aircraft; can your Noble Arm provide any of those? We're going to need to coordinate a counterstrike and I [i]must[/i] get back into the battle; this line must not break."
[/quote]
[color=8493ca]"Unfortunately no, I cannot produce shields. However, what I can do... is this."[/color] [i]Regil spoke.[/i]

[i]Regil backed off from the front lines and summoned his Noble Arm, [b]Chess Imaginarium[/b]. The tome floated in front of him, as a magic circle drew under Regil's feet out of nowhere and the tome's pages started to flip themselves at fast speed. He closed his eyes and started to focus, drawing power from the book. Once enough energy was drawn, he finally let out his incantation.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"I command you, from the board of legend... [b]Answer my call, Queen![/b]"[/color] [i]He proclaimed.[/i]

[i]From behind Regil, an image started to form itself. The tall figure that took place behind its summoner was of an elegant woman, woven in a beautiful dress, with a brilliant tiara on her head. On her hand, a magical staff began to form itself on her hand. And thus, the Queen stood proudly on the battlefield, her presence exuding an aura that flew through the field, reaching out to the remaining Arms Masters valiantly fighting against the Chinese Army.[/i]

[color=8493ca](The Queen's aura boosts the power output of any Noble Arm allied with me. Since I've already identified those who are fighting against us, the memory will become data to the Pieces, so the Queen's power won't reach any stray or enemy Masters in the vicinity as long as I recognize who's my ally.)[/color] [i]Regil thought.[/i]

[i]Then, the Chinese aircraft armada started to shoot missiles toward the Wall of Light erected by Ari. Thanks to the Queen's buff, however, the shield would be more than enough to hold its own. But the shield could only do so much against what was shot in front of her, what was above it became another story entirely. Luckily, Regil didn't summon the Queen only to empower his fellow Arms Masters.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"Target the missiles and shoot them down with the lasers!"[/color] [i]He ordered.[/i]

[i]The Queen rose her staff as it started to shine brightly. Then, three lasers were shot from it, hitting three incoming missiles from above. She held it uptight, as more lasers came out, in an attempt to diminish the number of projectiles coming in their direction.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"I'll do whatever I can to hold on my own over here, but I can't promise I'll hold them long enough! We need to find a way to destroy the enemy's aerial before they can get to the city!"[/color] [i]He commented.[/i]

[i]The diversion did succeed in their job of distracting the second battalion. The fierce attack on the beach, which was now having a turn of events in their favor, was only possible because of the force splitting the Chinese Army created. However, the operations unit she led was ready. The merciless force ravaged the distraction, not with ease but there was still blood spilled on the floor. And that blood wasn't theirs, but from the enemy soldiers who resisted them.[/i]

"Specialist Meitner, we're approaching the battle at Lingayen Beach! We're going to enter the enemy airspace soon enough!" [i]The pilot spoke.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf]"Report on the situation of the ground army."[/color] [i]Regina ordered.[/i]

"According to our view from here, they are holding up the ground bombardment, but the aerial units might end up hitting them soon enough! There are lasers containing the missiles, but they aren't hitting the units!" [i]The pilot responded.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf]"What a preposterous tactic. And I told him to be prepared, and he still opted for hitting the missiles..."[/color] [i]She complained.[/i]

"Specialist Meitner?" [i]The pilot asked.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf]"How much longer until we invade the battle's airspace?"[/color] [i]Regina questioned.[/i]

"Our unit will reach the airspace in one hour." [i]The pilot responded.[/i]

[i]Regina Meitner. A Specialist from the England Military Forces who led a special unit of her own. Their original plan was to rendezvous with the unit standing at Lingayen Beach, but a diversion tactic caused by the Chinese Army right on the other border of the city held them down time enough to make them unable to regroup in time for the main assault. However, Regina's forces were known to be professionals out of the league. Even high-ranking officials from her country had to recognize her talent, whether she was just a Specialist or not.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf]"Fine then. Soldiers, arm yourselves with the RPGs! Once we invade the aerial space, we're bombarding these flying bastards! And I want two snipers ready to shoot any stragglers who survive the explosion alongside me!"[/color] [i]Regina firmly ordered her unit.[/i]

[i]The rest of the squad began to arm themselves. Counting the pilot and Regina, there were 10 people in total. Six of the soldiers armed themselves with the RPGs, while said snipers got their rifles ready to shoot the survivors of the explosion. Regina also picked a rifle, while a voice of a little girl tempted her through her mind.[/i]

[color=ed1c24][i]"Why use a rifle when I'm here, Regina? I'm your Noble Arm, right? I can kill them for you."[/i][/color] [i]The voice asked.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf][i]"Your uselessness in the air will only hinder me down. I don't need you, I never did. Now shut up and let me do my job."[/i][/color] [i]She answered.[/i]

[color=ed1c24][i]"Heehee, what a shaaaame. Well then, try not to die. I still need you, OK?"[/i][/color] [i]The voice taunted her.[/i]

[color=bc8dbf][i]"Just stand there and watch. I'll raise hell if I need to, but I'm not dying here."[/i][/color] [i]Regina responded.[/i]
