To Battle!

"Well, if we're decided, then we should get going. The longer we wait, the more time we give the enemy to prepare for us."

Everyone assembled at "the Rig", a massive armored vehicle, and things got underway. Renny and Pierce were allowed to fly there on their Pokemon. The Rig had to stick to the roads, regardless of it having the right of way all the time (usually do to its size, weight, and power), but Renny and Pierce could just fly straight.

"What's the best way to send the Prideguard packing?" Lola asked.
"Take out Cerulean Wildfire," Rayleen answered simply. "If we can remove that metal cunt from the equation, we'll obliterate the morale of the soldiers. The Prideguard will just be a fleeting memory by then. That should save us the chance of possibly having to open a route for Faynoc to escape since the cordon is all other areas will break down."
"So, fight the HPG until we defeat Cerulean Wildfire, then fight the Harbingers until we make Faynoc run away?"
"Hopefully, it's as simple as you say."

Renny and Pierce didn't like the looks of things when they neared Prime Square. The place was a mix of warzone and out-of-control riot. Much of the area was obscured by dust and airborne debris kicked up by explosions and chaos. The two trainers could see that cordon was very split up, basically forming walls of men in all the entryways. It didn't exactly work as there were most likely routes through the cordon by passing through the buildings. However, with the greatest chunk of the fighting not very far from all the cordoned areas, that would be much too risky.

The body of the entire military was seemingly split up between the various cordons and a more fearsome force fighting in the center of the square. Blue lights pulsed through the smoke, indicating that Cerulean Wildfire was trying to break through to fight and possibly kill Faynoc. Renny and Pierce instinctively told their scouters to patch the visuals through, which shown on the large screen inside the Rig.
"Holy cow, it's a madhouse in there!" Rachel gasped.
"Any sighting of Muon?" Whitney asked hopefully.
"Not with all that smoke," Calisto said. "We're going to need to get intimate with that place if we're going to find your friend."
"We've gotta draw Cerulean Wildfire away from the square," Rayleen said. "I don't want her killing Faynoc, if she can even get to him to begin with. Using this document might help us call the bitch off, but if it fails like I'm certain it will, we'll cause a ruckus."
"Just a ruckus, my Lady?" Dormond asked his mistress.
"There are all kinds of ruckuses, Dormond." Rayleen said with a lethal edge to her voice.

"Relax, Rayleen." Harliette said. "Man, you must really hate Burkmont. You're practically cumming at the thought of inflicting grievous harm on his soldiers."
"I wasn't chosen for the main party, I don't think," Rayleen said, then pointed at the various buildings on the screen. "Anyways, the main formation will break through the cordon, dealing with HPG reinforcements as necessary. Get that fucking bitch off of Faynoc and onto you, suicidal though that may be. Crush her like a cockroach under your collective might, and you'll have won your first battle against the Honmyr Prideguard, a victory we can all enjoy to the point of orgasm."
"So while the main formation is bringing shame to the Prideguard, what's the job for the rest of us?"
"We'll go through the buildings. There may be HPG soldiers in those places as well. If we neutralize them, we'll cut off reinforcements and ambush parties that could trouble the main formation. However, that's just icing on the cake. The secondary formation will be responsible for getting the innocent clear of this conflict. If we can do that, I might just risk having Lexhur pop right in to assist in the beatdown. Additionally, clearing the buildings of hostiles will allow the main formation's Sniper to progress with the main formation."

Rayleen pointed at the primary area of chaos. "Lots of Fog of War, here. As you progress, clear it out or you won't get easy visual on additional targets. Fog of War is the result of various happenings. Explosions, buildings collapsing, even Ground-type moves all create Fog of War. If Fog of War is on our side, then the enemies will have difficulty hitting us. If it's on their side, they get the advantage of extra evasion. Fog of War can constantly build up, so make sure to blow it away again when it starts to cripple your strategy. Things tend to get difficult if the enemy's Fog of War percentage is around 60% or higher. Up around 90%, even moves that would always hit could miss. Bear that in mind as combat drags along."

The Rig stopped near the closest cordon, close enough to be easily seen and identified, but not close enough to appear threatening. "Lemme do the talkin'," Rayleen said confidently, and told everyone else to generally stay with the Rig.
"That's close enough, agent." One of the HPG soldiers told Rayleen. Rayleen stopped and tried to look as defenseless as she could. Yeah, didn't work, exactly.
"I have authorization from the Honmyran President to take jurisdiction over this area. Please vacate the sight, immediately."

The soldier and one of his buddies walked up to check out the document Rayleen held out for them. They barely looked at it. "Do you know it's a federal crime to forge the President's signature, ma'am?"
"Yeah," Rayleen answered. "Do you know it's a federal crime to not follow his direct orders when you work for the Prideguard?"
"Ah, lookit what we've got her. A wiseass."
"I aim to please. Now leave, preferably ten minutes ago."
The soldier laughed, and his friends chimed in. Idiots. "Yeah, about that...it kinda ain't happenin'. We're under direct orders from General Burkmont not to let the Pokemon Advanced Tactics and Counterterrorism Agency anywhere near Prime Square during the progression of the battle. Maybe if you took this useless piece of paper and go present it to him, he'll call me up on this headset and tell me that he wants us to let you in."
"Hmm. Well, sure, I'll do that."
"We appreciate your understanding," the soldier said with thick sarcasm.

Rayleen left the laughing cordon of soldiers and strolled back to the Rig. "Are we really going to go see the General?" Lola asked. The scouters told them the story that they couldn't hear with the unaided ear. "The battle could be over by the time he gives us authorization."
"Don't worry about it. Time for Plan B, folks."
Rayleen entered the Rig and looked at Heidi, who was driving the monster. "Heidi. I don't like it when people laugh at me."

Heidi's smile was simply vile as she started the Rig up. The Rig turned back towards the cordon, and then the engine got louder. "We're going to ram the cordon?!" Lola gasped.
Rayleen simply smiled as they heard the tink tink tink of bullets pelting the Rig. But it was foolish to try and shoot the Rig with small arms. Suddenly, the Rig did a sharp turn and started to drift, broadsiding the suddenly paniced soldiers. When the Rig stopped, Rayleen opened the door and stepped outside, then rushed forward and cut down a soldier. "Main formation, you're up! Go, go, go! We're not paying you by the hour!"

The Rig was splattered with human blood, particularly the undercarriage and the huge tires. Heidi smiled as she opened the door and hopped out, then slammed her fist into a soldier's face as he tried to struggle to his feet. His face bled profusely from the shattered nose that pierced his brain as he fell, dead. "Sorry, I have a 'no stopping for fucktards' rule when I'm driving. You'll forgive me, eh?"
"Park the Rig, Heidi. Snipers, to the roofs. Use the outside stairwells. Main formation, destroy the enemy reinforcements and then press forward when we give the signal. We'll be neutralizing any HPG forces inside the buildings so that you don't get flanked or caught in a pincer. There shouldn't be that many soldiers, I'm hoping."

The secondary formation split up, circling around the nearby buildings and beginning their battles within. Heidi pulled the Rig away, giving the main formation room to prepare for battle. She left only on the other side of the intersection which was more or less devoid of vehicles.
A considerable force of enemy soldiers sprinted towards the main formation. The force included an Engineer and a Medic. A couple more of the soldiers were Pokemon Trainers, while the rest were clearly Slayer types. The scouters picked up a great deal of information on the enemy force.

Coulda used that advice a little sooner, Harlie.
