>That awkward moment when you learn the religious revival movement you were headin was actually a vehicle for a Lovecraftian Abomination masquerading as a God to jack your body and take over the world

Tartys
It was a close run thing, but with the meteor storm distracting and battering down the AA defenses Tartys was able to slip inside the factory with little trouble. There she found that things were already happening, mostly courtesy of the demons who had infiltrated and were now trying to make a mess of the place while the Machina fought back. Big shock there, though so far it seemed like the defenders were surprisingly occupied. Compared to the resistance that they had put up at Alt Signia, the Machina must not have thought as highly of this place, even if Eos had shown up.
"Well then, time to do my part," she muttered as she flew along, weaving through the dangerous machinery with her weapon at the ready. If they weren't going to defend this place with everything they had, then she had no reason to hold back. "Blessed light, burn!" Her yell met with the charging of her magic, before scintillating beams of light lashed out. Concentrated head would melt through metal and destroy machinery, as she channeled her mana into the attack.
So she flew on, dodging defenses and natural hazards as she made new ones. Her blows were focused on production lines and other important bits of machinery, things that would create even worse hazards when they were destroyed. That way it would hinder anything coming after her. Let the Machina try and stop her now.

The Cloud
Though the anti-air defenses had taken a battering, the Cloud deemed the damage that had been suffered within acceptable tolerances. It would have been much more grievous without its warning, by all predictive analyses. Further surveying of the situation indicated Machina units moving on the Angelic fortress, while battle continued to sputter on in the factory behind them. The fighting seemed to be contained though, so it viewed moving on as acceptable.
Initially it was prepared to assist Grafdakka, but developments on the battlefield rapidly changed that. The arrival of the Lviathan was unexpected and unwelcome as a tide of water swept across the battlefield, washing away those unfortunate enough to not be locked down. It harmed the demons too, but on the whole it was a powerful boon for the Angels as the Leviathan arrived. Quickly the Cloud accessed the Machina network, and within moments had all the information on the beast that the Machina had, including the records of the previous battle. Had the Angels been able to force its cooperation because of that previous fight? Something to think about, but ultimately irrelevant.
It was able to overcome the water by flying over it, but finding itself the target of the ice attack was more problematic even if surprise did not factor in because of its reaction times. Its imminent freezing was countered by the further boost from Eos, allowing it to output the power necessary to keep itself from freezing until it had moved out of the attack.
"Calculating strategy variables. Conclusion reached. Executing."
With that the Cloud broke apart from its roughly humanoid form into, well, several smaller clouds. Those would fly towards the Leviathan to assault it from multiple angles, using its size to get beneath any armor plates that might try to stop it, and applying burst after burst of energy weapons fire from different angles in increasing intensity to wear it down. Even if it smashed some or some were lost to acid o frozen, the continual flow of nanites from the factory did not stop, meaning that it only grew stronger even as it wore the Leviathan down.

Go for it
Welp, I'm glad I sprung for the Light power :V (Not that I think we'll be using this, but just in case....)
'Why can't the Machina act more strategically?'
Well you see generally speaking strategic level ability is for a theater or a campaign. Tactics are what you're looking for in individual battles.

We back at this boys.
And heist begin. I'm lazy though so I won't describe the entire thing. Apologies to anyone hoping for more.
Finch
While the Epic cats were away, the birds would play.
That was what Finch wanted to think anyways. Crime waited for no man, and even if he was not on the clock with the Epics who ran the place Finch was not going to put a stop to his endeavors. After all, not every crime could be stopped, and it made him look a bit more threatening when he was actually successful. Otherwise the impact would be lost because there would be no reason to care about him. At least in his own mind.
That was why he was at his current location, positioned near the First City Bank, one of the largest banks in the city (hence the name). Knocking over some branch location wouldn't do for his criminal reputation at all, which was why he was going directly for the head. He might not get everything, but he was going to grab as much as he could and then make his escape.All in a hard days work for the Finch.
"Alright boys, just like we rehearsed. Let's go get them," he said to the guys he had brought in for this operation, most of whom were geared up with the best that he could manage from the resources that he still had. They were confident at least, and probably loyal. It'd be enough to knock over a bank if no Epics showed up to stop him.
So they went to work. Some guys would go around back to move in that way while Finch himself walked in through the front door, brazen as could be. "Hello there folks," he said with a bow as he tossed a glass blade at a guard with a snap of the wrist. "This is what we'd call a heist. So if you'd all kindly hand over any electronic devices, weapons, and the like, no one else will have to get hurt." His men moved quickly to do what he had said, as the heist began in earnest.
Meanwhile he went to go find the bank manager. From there it would be a quick trip to the bank vault. Now it was just a race against time, a race he intended to win.

If Victoire's flowers had won this fight on their own, again, I would have been left to wonder whether this wasn't all some ruse by Eos because of how easy it was :V
