The Akulas seemed to concentrate on eliminating the ground forces that were being deployed rather than air-to-air combat Their mobility while on the ground in battleoid mode was unparalleled even compared to other valkyries in guardian mode as they darted among the ranks of chaos' ground based mecha. It was as if they didn't care about the losses being inflicted on their "allies". Explosions riddled the streets of the city, but structural and collateral damage was kept to a near non-existent minimum. broken glass and crushed and battered cars were what was among the worst damage. The Akulas, especially the Starwolf leader himself, seemed to treat their valkyries like their own bodies, pulling off multitudes of martial arts maneuvers and blows, even going do far as to kick straight through mecha torsos.<br/><br/>The air engagements were another story entirely. Chaos' forces were slowly decimating the enemy numbers, not to mention one of the eight assault carriers was destroyed. Emile was hard pressed to keep up with you despite his own instincts, and began making mistakes, forgetting to check his six was one of them. He just didn't have the experience to be aware of almost everything at once. He silently thanked you for the save and promised himself he'd make it up to you if they survived.<br/><br/>The battle continued like this for almost an hour before a second assault carrier was destroyed and everything took a turn for the worst. The remaining six assault carriers turned their weapons onto the city, and began deploying ground forces and additional support fighters. The Starwolf Battle-Carrier seemed to halt in mid-air seconds later before it's nose elongated, then it's hull, and it seemed to be sucked into a pinprick of light that quickly vanished. The ship then reappeared in front of the city, facing their allies before the ship's primary, secondary, tertiary, missile bays, and point defense batteries filled the sky like a storm of fireworks on the Fourth of July and began cutting into the enemy ground forces, ships, and fighters as the Akulas completely turned on their own forces, fighters and ground units included.
