Omen blitzes out from behind the wreck, sprinting to the anti-air emplacement. Whenever a robot aims at her, she simply pivots towards the attacker and moves at an impossible speed into their personal space. Omen dodges to the side to bleed off her momentum, keeping her pace to the tower. Once more she is targeted, and once more she runs at speeds unquantifiable. Once, twice, three times and counting she maneuvers her way across the facility grounds, barreling through the occasional unlucky robot between Omen and her attacker. Laser fire is danced around, rockets are gracefully sidestepped as they detonate in the middle of another group of automatons. All comers to test Omen's skill with her blade are ignored, perpetually attempting to reach what is above them. The cannon chooses her as its target, constantly turning around, its servos unable to catch up to her rapid movement. After her perfect dash, Omen stands before the anti-air cannon, ready to cut it apart.
Distracted by Omen's speed blitzing, the Conquered do not see Wing until it is too late to stop her.

Two of their number are cleaved in half, crimson blades glinting with the reflection of ruby lasers slicing through metal and wire with ease. The rest of their number about face to bring their weapons to bear against this new threat.

Two troopers batter Wing with their rifles, as another automaton runs into melee to leave two small gashes across her side. The surrounding pods take notice of another target, and open fire.

On their own kind, standing between them and Blood Wing. More pods take notice, with several medium weight Conquered peeling off from chasing Omen to deal with the straggler.

Etc, etc.
A whirlwind of golden claws cuts off any further response, Howl cleaving heads off bodies, tearing out brains, and simply turning one robot into two or three. Howl beelines towards the medium weights focused on Blood Wing, smacking away laser bolts all the while.

It raises its shield to block the assault, but Howl's claws simply ignore the metal and dice the robot behind it. Eye, pelvis, heart. As the Devastator falls apart before her, Howl sets her sights on the next, pouncing on it at speed enough to cave its chest in. Howl moves to another Devastator, leaving enemy fire to hit the corpses she left behind.
As Angel takes off, the quad cannon unleashes a flurry of fire to knock her out of the sky once again. And once again, Imaginary's spell neutralizes it.

The explosion ruffles the duo's hair, and the taste of impossible values fills their mouths, but at the speed Angel is moving, Imaginary knows it won't have time to shoot again before Angel is out of range. Still, the forest it filled with robots, and flying bugs are visibly getting closer, so that's no reason to loosen their guard.
As the bots rained down, Bequeath's first action is to deal her crowns out. Death Flame's is significantly more flashy.

The right squad of Conquered vanishes in a tide of ionized fire, as the left side opens fire on Bequeath.

The fodder open fire in a volley first and Bequeath yelps and closes her eyes as she casts her spell, the bolts flickering out against a flash of light. The automatons with LMGs gather their bearings by then, and Bequeath turns aside as much fire as she can with her veil, but its not enough as three crowns shatter from the onslaught. Even then, she has no time to breathe, as robots with laser swords are upon her, hacking and slashing as the last crowns shatter and flesh sizzles and parts and scarlet paints the ashen soil. The big bot throughs its thoughts into the ring, cutting down one of its own to get to Bequeath, but that absorbs enough fire that Bequeath only takes glancing hits from the Devastator.
Death Flame whips her head around and snarls, and ugly, primal sound as she screams. "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE!"
