Haresh staggered into the hangar and closed the heavy blast door behind him. One of his tusks was broken off but it was regrowing thanks to his use of essential water. "I left some enchanted 'fireball' mines by the entrance of the base. They'll explode in a large fireball that will incinerate any soft targets. That will buy us some time to reload and stuff," he said.
The Pelvanida group, who had taken their protective suits off got to work reloading their weapons, swapping out their air tanks, treating their wounds, grabbing a bite to eat, going to the bathroom or whatever.
Several mechanics were busy replacing the armor on the Mako armored transport truck, which was seriously damaged by several strikes from RPGs. The armored SUV, the Rovermobile and the "Battle Machine" (as Deimos christened the modified Mystery Machine) were having their weapons reloaded and armor plate repaired.
Setsuna was busy recharging her mana with a meditation technique.
The Great Valley dinosaurs headed through the portal to grab more charged arrows and rocks.
Deimos looked at a monitor that showed the harbor and several improvised naval vessels, which were battling some Dragonstorm sea monsters and they seemed to be winning. "Holy f---. Neptune City's even got its own navy at this point!"
"Ah, the government just took over all the private vessels and we just simply armed them," a Raven soldier said.
The monitor then showed a motorboat loaded with what appeared to be explosives tearing through the battle. The pilot then crashed his boat into a Dragonstorm sea serpent, killing it along with some smaller monsters, and himself in a massive explosion.
Rime shot an ugly glance at the Raven.
"We don't condone suicide bombing," the Raven quickly said. "But won't stop civilians from doing it, though."
"On a side note, the two cruise ships Neptune's Jewel - now called Neptune's Wrath - and Ocean Maiden - now called Ocean Amazon - are bombarding Dragonstorm bases. Neptune's Wrath is an ad hoc missile frigate while the Ocean Amazon has been turned into an ad hoc battleship," a Human soldier said. He was drinking a can of beer.
----------------------------------
The cruise ship/missile battery Neptune's Wrath was busy bombarding a Dragonstorm base. Ballistic missiles soared into the sky and exploded, raining down high explosive submunitions onto the soldiers below.

"No," Alexander replied.
"Take him away," the ghost-prosecutor said.
Two SPVDF soldiers escorted him to his room.
At the same time, ten volunteer guards led four disheveled looking men - two of them Human, and the other two were canine, one a Golden Retriever and the other an English Bulldog - into the courtroom.
"Sir, these are logistics personnel - munitions handlers to be specific - whom we caught trying to desert," an SPVDF captain said. She was the same one who had presided over the execution of the two murderers
