32 xenoblade - fighting off the mechon as best as we could

Dear Readers,

We dashed in the direction of the lab while the Mechon were attacking. We got a tutorial for running away and an introduction to the green flee icon with a cute little running man symbol. That would've been very handy earlier! It probably was there but I didn't realise it.

We didn't need to fight, we just needed to reach the lab. The tutorial even said it was a valid tactic. Colony 9 was now filled with Mechon wreaking havoc.

We didn't even engage the Mechon in the commercial district. We just ran under their legs and past them to the plaza.

Another dramatic cutscene played where the defence forces faced off with the Mechon, but they were no match. Mechon burst through. The colonel yelled at his men and defiantly at the Mechon that came face to face with him. He tried to attack but it was no use. The Mechon opened its claw and came at him. He tried to hold off but it was too late. More Mechon broke open the vehicles the people were working on earlier and more Mechon came out of them, like some kind of trojan horse.

We watched as explosions and mayhem came from the military district. We had to go there to the lab. When we got there we saw the devastation and the entrance to the lab had been blocked by rubble. Reyn was raging and vowed to avenge everyone. We had to come up with a backup plan.

We had cylinders so our option was to go back across the plaza and towards the residential district to the vehicle and charge it up. Then we could use that to shift the rubble!

In the middle of the plaza, Mechon surrounded us. We told Fiora to go on without us while we dealt with this lot to clear a path. She was hesitant but she was able to put faith in us.

Reyn and I started fighting Mechon. They were little ones but formidable. I found it a bit difficult to coordinate my breaks with his topples but we eventually managed it and won this little battle.

It still wasn't the end though...
