Within the 15 minutes that he allowed everyone to have to prepare, Giza gave his teammate the same radio that he had during the Jailbreak plan with Limen and Sanduleak. He need to have his allies be able to communicate with each other, especially since they have to split their group where one will protect the flag and one will charge in the opponent’s base. Since both Bloodbath and Inkblot have the more tenacious and offensive tendency, it make sense for them to be the offensive team.
That leave both him and Aurora will be the one guarding the flag; this choice of splitting the team is totally not bias in anyway. He had made his mind, and in this type of situation, Aurora’s power of materialized stuff around her could be very useful on a defense stratergy. Though she would be also really good for the offensive team as well, Giza need an extra hand to guard the flag, especially since the other team have Dullahan’s giant bulldozer. With the two of them, Giza have a good feeling about this.
What he didn’t expect in this little game of his…is cats. For some reason there’s a lot of cat in their base where the “flag” is. Since the site that he chose isn’t an abandon cat-food factory, or an old fishery, it is really weird to find so many stray cats hanging around the place. Giza simply shrugged at the cats:
“I’m sure you’re all smart enough to get out of the way,” he said to them, “I really don’t want to see a bunch of dead cats littered the area.”
He then turned toward the “flag” that he had set up before activating his com to his teammate:
“Giza to Twister-1, be advises that the opponent have both Gilgamesh and Dullahan’s humongous bulldozer, and Limen with her who-know-what arsenals. Be prepares for what they might throw at you.”
--
ooc: if you all didn't figure it out, Twister-1 is Bloodbath and Inkblot's group name. As for Giza and Aurora, they are Twister-command.

Aurora was a little miffed to be put on defense. She knew that she would be the best for it, but that was mostly because her power was ridiculously well-suited for a game like this; she would be the best at both offense and defense because of it. Putting her in a more conservative position was a little annoying, but she at least understood that she shouldn't be going for the enemy flag while defending their own at the same time. It was just annoying to have to rely on other people like this. She knew that she'd have to get used to it in order to accomplish anything, but her desire to want to micromanage everything and handle everything herself was difficult to suppress. More than that though, she had suspicions that her own abilities were not actually why she was put on defense given who was working here with her.
Her perch was the roof of one of the smaller buildings. It was high enough that she could see her surroundings easily and had lots of room to maneuver, but low enough that the other buildings could provide a degree of cover, and she wouldn't have to worry about wind quite as much. About the only thing she had to worry about was people coming at her from above, but she had ways to deal with that, and she probably wasn't going to be here for very long anyway.
Aurora glanced at the streets below to get a feel for what she wanted to do and how she wanted to move. She'd be the primary defensive force behind the flag, but she wasn't very concerned about it. The large sign they were using as a flag dissolved into her colorful particles and rejoined her aurora in the sky. No matter how hard they tried, they wouldn't be able to take it from her. She was a little worried that would make this fight too easy, but they said to hold nothing back, so she figured she'd start here for now. If they managed to hold out long enough she'd consider dropping it, but in the mean time she was curious to see what they'd try. As often as she stole stuff she figured people would try to actually take what was in her aurora back more often, but no one had seriously tried yet. Her fights tended to be more about stopping her from taking more stuff for some reason, so this would be the first time someone would actually try to pull something out of her aurora. At least that part should be interesting.
"The flag is secure," she spoke into her communication device. "They won't be able to take it from me. I'm not expecting too much resistance on our end because of that," she paused for a moment before she started pacing on the roof. "Dullahan should be managable if you can get some blood or paint into the more sensitive areas of his vehicle. They may be strong, but there's only so much that can be done when everything's sticking together. Sanduleak I don't know as well, but I'm under the impression he's kind of a spaz. If you get him talking you might be able to distract him enough," she paused for a moment. "I'll be focused on my end of the fight. Don't expect to hear from me too much."
She had to stop herself before she started rambling about strategy in order to control both sides of the battle. No, she had to let them handle it as much as the thought made her a bit twitchy. It wasn't that she thought they were completely incompetent, though given who the offensive side was she was a little worried about how they'd operate without a more strategic head. Bloodbath was much more of a spaz than Sanduleak could ever hope to be and completely mentally unstable. Inkblot she didn't know as well, but given some of the rumors surrounding her and what she did with the results of her efforts, Aurora got the feeling she wasn't really the thinking type. Even so, she had to learn how to avoid micromanaging these things, if only to make it easier when the outcome was actually important.

Cats were appearing everywhere, congregating around Aurora's aurora in unusual numbers and sitting down on every available surface. They weren't moving much. Not just yet. Only waiting, tails swishing and bright eyes carefully watching, tracking even the slightest of movements.
Big Martin was coming, and this was his vanguard, announcing his presence. Normally, he hid himself among the civilians, just one face in a crowd, but this battle was to be a little more open. Unable to hide in plain sight, the master of cats would need to position himself carefully, and influence events from a distance.
But what was distance, when one had eyes and ears everywhere? For every cat that was plainly visible, two more were prowling about unseen. Whichever angle the attackers approached from, there would a small army of silent felines waiting for them. Not attacking, yet. But all it would take was a single order, and they'd fight with tooth and claw to defend whatever the heck it was their leader cared about so much.
Said leader quietly cracked his knuckles, and began issuing orders.
Okay, nice turnout! Listen up now, boys and girls, 'cause here's the plan...

So they were to be outnumbered? He could deal with that. If anything it made the whole situation more ideal. Sure, there was a chance they could lose being outnumbered. But he liked working with a handicap. It made it more interesting and helped to give him an incentive to push himself. Life wasn't fair and expecting to only deal with it on even terms was a sure way to end up frustrated and a failure.
He was in position looking over where their base was from afar. Given the lack of numbers it seemed prudent to fight smart and determine what the best plan of attack was. Though he had to wonder how much of a coincidence that he ended up with the partner he did. It seemed fishy.
"You in position?"
He'd ask, holding a finger to his ear from under his hood.

“You know it.” She replied though her own com, paired with the one Gil had. Limen was crouched atop the roof of a nearby skyscraper. She’d chosen one of the higher ones in the area, a government building with a fire station on the bottom floor, knowing full well she would be fairly easy to spot and not caring. She was several blocks away from the two supers and their flag location. If they could hit her from here, she’d just back up. She doubted they had a farther range than she did.
Not with this weapon. An expensive, long-distance paintball sniper rifle rested beside her. It was one of her favorite weapons because of the sheer range she got with it without having to sacrifice too much in the way of mortal risk. The worst her targets had to worry about was some bruising and suddenly being more colorful.
Limen watched the group carefully. Where as she was likely a black dot atop a skyscraper, she, even from this distance, could make the two, no, three of them (judging by all the cats) out in near perfect detail. “But, uh, I’m not seeing a ‘flag’ per say. Just a big street sign- Ah, there it goes.” The “flag” was dematerialized before her eyes, shattered into millions of shiny particles and floated upwards into the cloud of sparkles.
She rolled the copy of her team’s flag on the rooftop beside her with her index finger. She’d had it made in the hopes that the other side would be using the same type of flag hers was, but she guessed that’s what she got for jumping to conclusions. “There goes that plan.” She sighed. Back up idea #1 it was.

That was it? Aurora folded her arms and scowled in disappointment. That was hardly the grandiose display of power she was hoping for. When everyone was talking about holding this stupid game downtown so they could wreck downtown she expected some actual wrecking from more than just herself. Giza at least managed to produce something noticeable, but the ones on the other team might as well have just been standing there. There wasn't even any need for her to move from her current perch like she figured there would, no one was trying anything. She supposed Gilgamesh might have been trying to figure something out, but if people could take things out of her aurora by staring at it she wouldn't be nearly as effective at what she did as she was.
"And here I thought we were only supposed to hold back enough that we didn't kill or seriously injure each other."

A series of fast and surprisingly colorful projectiles whizzed past Big Martin, alerting both him and the cats on his head to the presence of a sniper. Thankfully, a sudden light show produced by the magician on the team had made it difficult to draw a bead on the master of cats, and none of the bright bullets so much as scratched him.
Nevertheless, they came close enough to unnerve him a little. Someone had tracked down his human body, and powerful as he was, Big Martin wasn't any tougher than the average human being.
Cover me! Moving westward, getting out of the way. Create a distraction if you can... and be ready for the second wave.
As fast as he could manage, Martin darted behind the nearest building, seeking to put it between himself and the sniper. He knew he couldn't just hide here, but if he could keep moving, he might be able to stay in cover and avoid being taken out. His armies would take control of the situation soon, if he could just avoid getting hurt for a while.
For now, if it came to a game of cat-and-mouse, he was willing to be the prey. But he'd take on his proper role as soon as the time was right.

Limen had been wrong. She had not been entirely out of range for the effects of Giza’s power, and as she made to fire her gun, she was suddenly blinded by something to the side. At this distance, even the smallest movements on her end had a huge effect on the destination of her projectiles, and the surprise and pain in her eyes from the light, amplified through her scope, was enough to knock all three shots off target.
And then the building below her began to shake. It seemed she’d been wrong on two accounts, and she had most certainly not been out of range of Aurora’s either. Limen quickly got to her feet, pulling her bow over her shoulder and widening her stance. Time for backup plan #2. Without a moment to lose - considering she felt the building collapsing - she drew an arrow, aimed, and fired. Since Gil had snapped her last bow, she’d gone ahead and upgraded. Ion Ghost #28 was quieter, of stronger draw, and significantly more purple than Ion Ghost #27 had been, and, at full draw, shot arrows at over two hundred and fifty miles per hour. The arrow flew off in the general direction of the duo guarding the dust that was supposed to be a flag, but it wouldn’t come within any threat of hitting them. Rather, it slammed harmlessly into a pipe at the foot of the building they stood atop.
It was way past time to abandon ship. The building was already unstable enough that Limen elected to skip gathering her things and instead made a run for the fire escape ladder on the side of the building. She jumped down to the first landing of the escape with a metallic clang, a sound drowned out in the crashing of concrete around the building’s other facade. Rather than attempting to make it down from this twenty or so story building via the stairs before gravity turned it into a one story pile of rubble, she grabbed onto the long metal poles that ran down the entire length of the escape and helped hold it in place and began to slide. The destruction began spreading around to her side of the structure. Limen skidded to the ground and rolled away in a tumble, barely getting out of the way as a large piece of wall attempted to share a landing point with her. She sprinted for the main street and away from the place as the building behind her gave its last throws of life. She’d have to thank Aurora later for helping her reach her “almost crushed by rubble” quota for the week.

The inactivity from the opponent side is a bit worrying; especially when Aurora just sliced the building where Limen was suppose to be. Giza hope the little sniper girl managed to get out in time, since he did nearly blind her with his hypnotic colored light.
When he saw a bunch of arrows shooting in their direction and strike the pipe at their “base”, Giza let out a sigh in relief. He really didn’t want a Pandaemonium to lose a life over such silly little game. He would admit, however, Aurora’s dissolving the building into her own aurora particle was a wonderful sight to be seen. It almost made him wish he could be able to wreck the place like she does as well. But once he remembered her suggestion of him finding his own way, he let that thought go and begin to plan for their next action.
Judging from the voice over at Inkblot’s end of downtown, he could feel that they might need a hand. Who could blame them, really: he doesn't really know much about Dullahan, but as far as he can tell, he can be quite crafty when it come to his crazy vehicle design.
“Better wrap this up quickly so we can help our teammate over at the opponent's base.”

Well, he couldn't find a good path for a stealthy approach, though that suited him just fine. He preferred to make a bit of noise. But they had tried to play it smart, but when you were outnumbered, on the clock, and trying to breach the defense sometimes there was only so much you could do. And what they could do now was go on the offensive.
"Let's see if I can draw their fire."
He knew just who his target had to be. Not just for the impact, but it was the only way to get the objective in time. He knew it, Limen had to know it, and he was sure that they knew it too. It wasn't the best hand to be dealt, but that just made the whole thing a hell of a lot more fun.
