Colony Drop
Who: Char, the forces of Zeon (any or all of you who want to contribute), whatever allies decided to show up on short notice, and Viridi's minions as NPCed by her mun
What: Defending Zeon from Viridi's Reset Bomb
When: Dawn on July 2
Where: The skies above Zeon and the sea to the west of Zeon
Warnings: It's a combat log
Aboard the Rewloola - and surrounding it with every airship Char could muster in an hour - Zeon's defense forces array themselves on the predicted course of the nature goddess's meteoric wrath. Higher than anyone normally travels, all guns, bows, arrows, and anything else they could conceivably throw at the incoming Reset Bomb were trained up and westward. Char himself is ready with rifle and Nightingale, as much as those would even help - at the very least he could defend his artillery from any breakaway rocks or defending nature spirits.
"All ships," Char says, his words transcribed into signal flags to communicate with the other airship commanders even as he speaks over his Crystal to his higher-ranking soldiers. "We've sighted the meteor approaching at high speed from the west. All units are to move toward it at full speed and come about once it is within one half mile. Attempt to match speeds with it or safely enter its wake to maintain fire for as long as possible. We have about five minutes on target to destroy it, starting in two from this point. You are to do everything in your ability to grind it into dust before it strikes our homeland. Sieg Zeon!"
That curt set of instructions finished, Char gives to command to his captain to begin the all-ahead-full charge toward the interception point, all the while glaring up at the falling star. Nothing like this will happen to Zeon on his watch, even if he has to create a miracle with his own hands. That's what people like Zeon's do.
((Subthreads finished, go ahead and post to them. Threads below happen in chronological order, though there may be overlap if needed.))

Flying in formation, seven airships break into view, emerging from the cloud cover.
"All hands, prepare to engage! Firing formation! Attack!"
Raising his sword and lowering it, all of the airships moved into a tight wedge formation and begin laying down cannon fire on the enemy creatures.

As the ships fire, a group of creatures that look more at home in the ocean than floating in the air drop down from the sky. From their mouths surge forth a stream of bubbles, a rather futile gesture against cannonballs.
As the artillery passes through, it... -- Hold on. ...It doesn't pass through. Somehow, the cannonballs come screeching to a halt the moment they touch the bubbles, suspended in mid-air within the now-gigantic bubble shield.
"Nifty, isn't it? I spent half of my R+D budget on the Mahvas alone."

"Fire!"
