Darren quickly took stock of the surrounding buildings while the simulation was beginning, he pointed one out and the group ran over to it, as soon as the bots were in place the battle began, Darren bolted for the staircase while the girls prepared their strategy. Ito kept the approaching police at bay with semi auto fire while Anya fiddled around with the mini computer mounted at her wrist. The students above were surprised wondering where Darren was going, they had assumed like last time he'd mostly be making use of his sword. The police bots repositioned moving their riot unit out front shields raised as they continued to advance. One of the bots suddenly shattered a round smashing through its head from the third floor above, Ito fired into the breach piercing through several of the bots behind the line before the breach was closed. The police behind the riot line fired pepper grenades into the third floor where the shot had come from however Darren had already begun moving again.
"Done!" Anya exclaimed, on cue Ito threw one of her smoke grenades into the line of approaching police bots and the two girls began moving up the street using the building for cover wherever they were able. On the fourth floor Darren set up the tesla mines in key points providing access to the fifth floor roof before setting up, having received the targeting data from Anya he fired into the smoke screen taking down several of the riot police. From the police line a few drones flew out heading for the building, Ito tried to shoot them down but they were to quick. The drones targeted Darren with laser designators and out of the smoke screen flew some more of the launched pepper grenades, the grenades bounced off the lip of the building falling back down below just out of range.
Darren fell to the roof as sniper fire from the vehicle blockade cut into the roofs edge, "Friggen drones" he thought to himself as he lay there unable to do anything, the bots under the smokescreen begun to storm the lower floors of the building. "Prepare to take out the drones" Ito said through her communicator, reloading her weapon "Now!" she said as she fired into the police marksmen line forcing them to take cover. Darren drew his sword and cut through two of the drones before the third flew out of range, the first of his tesla mines fired announcing the incoming police bots, Darren looked around and decided on his course of action, he sheathed his blade and tucked his rifle under his arm before leaping from the building to the four story below, he released his rifle when he was about to touch down and rolled nearly spilling over the edge. He quickly grabbed his rifle and fired three shots towards the drone before it could get to close, the windows to the fourth floor lit up as his last two tesla mines fired. Darren swung his rifle over his shoulder and made for the stairs.
"How many are there near the riot transport?" Ito asked, "Unsure, the signatures might be masked, all I can detect are the marksmen out front, lets get closer" Anya responded, Anya and Ito moved to the next building up, they were forced to take cover as pistol fire rained at them from a parking structure to their right. "Keep going I'll cover you" Ito said returning fire, Anya moved up while Ito suppressed the concealed bots. Anya managed to reach her intended target, she pulled a grenade from her bag and threw it to where the marksmen were taking cover, a burst of electricity triggered connecting with the concealed bots and causing them to malfunction and shut down. Ito continued to return fire on the police bots however she wasn't able to connect, the cover they had chosen to take was superior to her own. Ito tossed a smoke grenade into the middle of the street before they could return fire and quickly moved, the police immediately began to blindly fire into the smoke, Ito tossed her last smoke grenade further up the street while running down towards where their team had started. On cue the bots began to blindly fire into the new smoke while Ito crossed the street behind them, she unloaded the last of her ammunition into their backs dropping several before diving behind a pillar.
Anya had finally made it to the police transports she moved around cautiously expecting more bots to burst out at any moment, her communicator suddenly crackled to life "Move three transports up and two in" Darren said "That transport in the center, three in front of the riot vehicle, I've seen some movement." Anya quickly followed Darren's instructions, when she was in position she heard the crack of gunfire from behind her, the transport Darren had indicated exploded.
Darren quickly loaded an incendiary round into his rifle, the vehicles shouldn't have been loaded with to much fuel since this was a simulation but they should still have enough for his plan to work, he kept an eye on Anya's movements while zeroing in on the fuel line. When Anya had reached the point he indicated he fired, the fuel line beneath the vehicle ignited launching it into the air to land on its side, he quickly loaded the regular clip back into his rifle. A couple of bots spilled carelessly out of the toppled vehicle catching rounds for their efforts, while he continued to suppress them Anya moved to her target. Darren saw movement to the right, the surviving bots at the groups original location had begun to reach the street again, they didn't have much time left now. He didn't have enough ammunition left and he hadn't seen Ito since she ambushed the bots in the parking structure, "Hurry Anya" he said to himself.
Ito was on the ground wrapped around a pillar, the remaining bots return fire had nearly taken her out, she decided her only option now was to move silently across this filthy parking lot and take out what was left with her blades. "Why does this school have to be so accurate with details" she muttered to herself as she dragged her hand out of a mucky puddle she had placed it in. Ito could see the bots, they fanned out to look for her, "Perfect" she thought to herself, she quickly slid over to a civilian transport covering her thigh in oil, she noticed a lone bot moving in the same direction. As the bot came around the back of the vehicle Ito jammed one of her combat blades into it's neck lowering it to the ground silently. Well at least she would have if it wasn't a machine, it immediately begin to spark, remembering the oil she quickly bolted behind another pillar as the oil ignited from the sparking automaton. The two remaining bots turned to the direction of the fire and unloaded into the pillar Ito had ducked behind, "Do they never run out of ammo" she muttered to herself silently moving along the wall of a nearby parking spot.
Anya finally reached the Riot vehicle, she heard the crack of Darren's rifle continuing from behind her, she slowly drew out her pistol as she peered around the corner and into the back, it was empty "Finally a break" she thought to herself climbing inside. The vehicle was filled with hardware, several server boxes and monitors, the screens displayed various angles inside the buildings. Anya pulled a wire from her arm mounted computer and lined in to one of the server boxes and got to work, the system was fairly well shielded from access, this could take a while.
Darren fired off his last shot, he was pretty sure he had taken out all of the targets in the transport barricade but decided to join Anya just in case, he slung the empty rifle over his shoulder and began scaling down the side of the building he had set up on. The building seemed to be some manner of multi-storied restaurant, he was climbing down the outer windows of the second level when a small group of bots came into view. The bots immediately turned towards the window and Darren was forced to let go, seconds after he dropped from view the glass exploded from gunfire, Darren managed to grab a small ledge as he was falling which pulled the muscles in his arm taut. The ledge cracked under the sudden pressure and he fell the rest of the way landing on the hard pavement below, Darren quickly rolled to the side of the building as the bots reached the window.
Both of the police units approached Ito's position together, they were getting closer to her by the second, she couldn't bolt she had no nearby cover to escape the bullets from at this point, her only choice was to wait for the last second and attack. She held her blades tight to her body, she would strike one and quickly get behind it for cover she would then push it into the other one to disrupt its balance and finish things. Ito leaped over the small wall she was using as cover and struck fast driving her blade into the closest bot she quickly whipped around behind it, the bot took two shots from its ally, Ito shoulder pushed the automaton. "Damn" she said, the police units had seperated enough that the one she pushed fell short of her target, she looked down the barrel of its weapon expecting it to end any second. The end didn't come, she looked at the thing it stood there motionless, it appears Anya had succeeded and the training simulation had ended.
