Okay, I have like maybe three seconds to post this.

"How long is this bridge anyway?" Kaz complained. Copper shrugged.
"I don't know. I've never actually been on Searac before. I assume it's quite long, seeing as we're not even at the middle yet."
"You've never been on Searac?"
"No."
"Is this good or bad?"
"I'll let you decide," Copper said evasively. "Are you going to fly, or do you plan on staying grounded the entire time?"
Kaz aimed a glare at her. She ignored him, so he glanced at Crystal. "Coming?"
"Sure."
When they were in the air Copper turned to KRSplat. "Do you need my dagger again?"
"No, I don't think so. Not this time anyway. Tiger lent me his before we left. Besides, I have a feeling you may need yours."
"All right. You know what you're doing."
"I think, this time, I might."
"Good. How many do you think they have?"
Defalcon studied the figures. "Roughly, a score and half, maybe two score."
"Forty to ten?"
"We're outnumbered four to one," Defalcon confirmed. She grimaced.
"It would be worse without Shuri and Sai," Acid pointed out. She nodded.
"That's true. Well, it can't be helped."
"Maybe we should have brought Tiger and N0 along anyway," Electrik said nervously. Copper shrugged.
"Too late now. Haven't got time, they're almost here." She drew her blaster and stopped walking. Claw eyed the advancing figures.
"This is new," he said dryly. "Usually I see these guys from over my shoulder."
"Oh, be quiet," Copper said. "We haven't retreated THAT many times."
"Yes we have," Claw said, and she absently smacked his shoulder. He gave her a disgusted look, and she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, maybe four or five times."
"Try five or six ..."
"You've made your point, my friend. Hey, four each, not bad, so long as Kaz and Crystal take out theirs."
"How much do you want to bet that they mob us?"
"I'm not that stupid ..."
"Good. Here they come."
Acid chortled and fired his rocket launcher twice. Several Kiyrenin fell and did not get back up.
"Okay, now it's thirty-eight to ten."
Defalcon drew a sword and one blaster rifle. He doubted that this would take very long, either to win or to lose.
He was right.


Next part is the actual fight, sorry it'll be a little abbrieviated
