He gave his swords a quick twirl and moved to head at the one ninja but quickly stopped as the pistols shot rang out. He watched the ninja start hopping about from being shot in the foot as the second shot rang out. He glanced at the wolf who had fired the shots then twitched his lip a bit before casually walking up to the hopping ninja and yanking his leg out from under him with the hook end of one of his swords causing him to fall on his backside. He then followed it up by executing a quick axe kick across the ninjas face. He then looked back to the wolf then turned and started walking towards the other ninjas rushing the pinned down soldiers.
"Thanks for the distraction. But it wasn't necessary."
He then took off at a sprint lining himself up with Nomti so he wouldn't breach enemy ranks in his line of sight.

Erin spun around, slamming the butt of her rifle into the soldier just behind her. She whipped around again with wide eyes as a bullet nearly shot off one of her ear-tips. Quickly killing the man who had just shot at her, she scrambled backwards into a group of fellow soldiers, recognizing a girl she had trained with. Relieved that her friend was alive, Erin wiped a trickle of blood out of her eye and continued shooting, occasionally drawing a large hunting knife from her belt to lash out at enemy soldiers that got too close. The noise was deafening. Erin's head hurt like hell, a fiery headache building up behind her temples. A soldier, she couldn't tell which side he was on, toppled sideways into her, pinning one of her legs to the ground. With an effort she moved him off of her leg, looking around frantically to identify another enemy. They all looked the same to her. Erin bit her lip and took aim.
Nomti was glad that Minato had arrived. The ninjas were closing in and Minato was apparently an expert at close quarters. Nomti himself wasn't bad, that's why he had the two cycles, but he specialized in long range. Nomti walked around the half circle that had been formed by the ninjas around the American survivors. They were sloloy moving forwards, walking over their own dead. Nomti started attacking them from behind, moving quickly from position to position so that none of the ninjas could actually get a mental lock on him. Nomti ran to the other side of the circle and ran at them again, both cycles swinging. After about an hour of this repetitive process, the last ninja fell. The enemy tanks were still there, but the drivers had run away, so they were entered and driven by the Americans.
A camp was made in the area that night and reinforcements soon arrived by Huey. They took the dead and severely wounded back to El Paso, the nearest American outpost. Nomti went to a medic to see about his arm and then went to find Minato.

Minato stood quietly upon a plateau in the faint moon light apparently practicing with one of the katanas he had acquired from one of the dead ninjas. He stared at it's finely crafted blade with a small smile. Despite his smile he clearly got his share of bumps and bruises during the days combat as his ab area was wrapped up as well as his left forearm with bandages at other various parts of his body. Close combat wasn't for those who couldn't take a bit of pain and unlike others who whine about it, he didn't seem to mind it. He actually seemed to enjoy it a bit as if anyone noticed during the battled faint smirks and smiles drew across his face briefly almost everytime he had gotten hit. Those of his squad who survived were all sitting Indian style around a small fire as though they were meditating. After a moment he looked down from the pleautau and noticed Nomti and yelled down to him.
"Hey. You ok kid? And do you know the status of the others?"
By others he actually meant the ones who stood out in his eyes during the battle. The foot shooter and the other who seemed fairly balanced between close combat and long range.

"Yea!" Nomti called up to Minato when he saw him, "and stop calling me kid! You're only a year older, aren't you? You humans all look the same to me!" Nomti clambered up the rocky slopes. When he reached the top, he saw a whole squad sitting around a fire, meditating, it seemed. MY CO said something about moving towards Las Cruces and then Hatch. I think we'll be moving along the Rio Grande until we reach Santa Fe," Nomti shrugged and sat down. He rubbed with his right ear, which had gotten hurt when he was cutting through the enemy lines. He hadn't noticed it until the medic had pointed it out. His ear was twisted a little oddly but it wasn't permanent. "So, how many bastards do you think you killed today?"

Flower had gotten cut off from the rest of the battle during several moments of confusion. She had taken several hits during the battle and ended up taking cloth from dead ninja's to make bandaged for the wounds on her right forearm and back. She knew that the ninja's had been driven off for now but wasn't sure exactly where she was either.
She wondered around trying to figure out where the eagle forces had went, finally coming back to the scorched hulls of the tanks and began to looks around and through packs for anything that might help. She finally finds a radio that still works. She turns it on and tunes it to a emergency frequency and speaks "Hey are any eagle units on this frequency? I was cut off from everyone during the enemy retreat,I'm injured. I'm by some destroyed tanks. Please respond immediate-" she stops speaking as several rounds can be heard fired over the radio before she comes back, the sounds of small arms fire in the background "I need help! I've stumbled upon and am now being pursued by a enemy unit, assuming platoon sized....get some choppers over here!" she'd yell before the link going silent. Unknown to anyone listening the radio had just taken a hit as she fled.

(OOC: Oops... Heh. My fault.)
He chuckled a bit as he looked at him.
"Sorry. Force of habit passed down from my dad."
He then shrugged a bit.
"No clue honestly. I don't keep count. I just do my job."
He then turned his head towards one of his squad members as he heard the distress call come over the radio and went over and grabbed it quickly.
"Attention. If you can still hear me, run east bound from the tanks you speak of. We are not far from the tanks you speak of. This is Minato Lockhart. Squad leader of the CQC specialist squad. We have no chopper immediately available as one just departed to get us more reinforcements. You are approximately half a mile from us. I and my squad will come meet you and assist. Stand by."
He then dropped the radio as he heard faint shots off in the distance then looked at Nomti.
"Get your gear kid. Come with us. Stop when your at a decent sniping range and give us cover fire. Round up some of the reinforcements to give us supressing fire from mid range."
He then looked to his squad and raised his voice.
"Snap out of it guys! We got a rescue mission! Gear up and move out!"
He then sheathed up the katana and stretched his arms a bit.
"Time for me to get dirty."
