Alicia Strade's smile fluctuated quite a bit as a small explosion rocked near her skyscraper, a stray artillery shot or something, then seeing the boy's frontline collapse like a flan in a cupboard. Everything was going well until the loud cannonfire coming from the large metal contraption down in the battle rocked the field as one of the taller buildings collapsed inward on itself, causing untold damage outside and in. Her mind went to the escorts in the building and she hoped everything would be all right. "Reroute all units to the prime horde down the prime street. Send a toybreaker. Watch for the tank."
Calon Weaver groaned as nothing was going his way. First the battery, then the frontline, and now the retreat. He always hated the fall-back, but he was the best at it and there was a reason the boy's council assigned him to this battle. They knew it was a losing fight, but they could at least save most of the boys. "Get everybody out in a delta-fiver pattern, bikes at each transport." he ordered as he skulked over the map...it was looking pretty good too until the artillery was blown.
Marcus groaned without even looking as Alex entered, a heavy key ring jingling as the brig master opened up the cell, "Yes. We'll be leaving as soon as possible, but with you watching Alyse, I'll be able to help where men are needed." the insult was not hidden in subtlety. "She's locked up and ready to go, you just need to get her to the transport car and drive her to these coordinates," he pointed to a map for Alex on the desk, "Try not to disappoint us girlie..." he said with a sneer as he walked out, large rifle over his shoulder. After he left, the girl sitting in the cell looked up. She had blonde curls that cascaded down her pink vest, her doll-like face smirked, for what reason Alex couldn't know, "Girlie, eh?"

Jaina's doctor looked down her glasses, unphased by the rage, "Lower the dosage of patient's hormones..." she said quietly, taking notes, "Don't worry, I don't disclose patient information. Now get of your rag, Jaina." she joked.

((Nothing you could do))
The fourth floor was in a scatter, everyone moving left and right trying to quickly pack up. It was obvious the battle wasn't going very well since command was scrambling to load and go. The most important room was at the end of the hall, boy's flags flanking each door with a strong-looking boy leaning over a desk, pencil in his mouth. It couldn't be anyone else but General Weaver himself.

The building buckled in on itself as its foundation and support rocked upward, the explosive rounds doing their damndest to take out the tower. The chaos was immense, the taller skyscraper collapsing on its smaller neighbors, covering them in rubble if not taking them down with it. The street was completely blocked and Isaac could hear orders for a reform of the battle line...everything was going as planned. Both gunners brought up their cover, firing once or twice to keep the barrel running.

Each medic nods, but the beds themselves were designed to be left behind...it would be too late if they were to fold them up and cart them too. Instead, the medics grabbed the boys and quickly heaved them into the truck, squishing them in with the other boys so that they could fit as much into the transport as possible. The frontline was dissolved, only a few, unfortunate boys were falling behind. Their bodies, however were lost as a bright pink mist, flowed from the girl's horde, coating the ground. With their gasmasks on, it wasn't a problem...but now they couldn't see where the girls were coming. It'd be flight or nothing. In the panic, though, Sean might notice the four small pinpricks of pain in his arms, one more on his neck...he knew he was out of their range now but...in the rush to save those two boys...

There was only equipment laid out in front of the tallest building in the city, gun turrets and defense mechanisms surrounded the door Damian could see. Only two guards stood, but with their firepower, Damian figured they could hold the door for hours. That must have been their main base for sure. To the West, the girls had their own gas grenade mortars coating the forward field in Femme X gas. It was lucky for the boy that the stuff wasn't everywhere here or else his crossdressing would become a normal occurence...
It's not about how much dough you make -- it's about how delicious a pizza you eat at the end.
