"Mana, you take the front guns." Stella said getting behind the left side gun, and opening fire on the first monster to enter her field of fire.
8 stones in Ranged Combat to open fire.

"Roger that", Mana said passively, as she sat in the front gunner seat. Jenna quickly grabbed the machine gun Stella didn't take and began opening fire along with her roommate.
Stella filled the first monster, a flying orange beast with a huge fanged maw and a single big eye with wings - an ahriman - with lead, killing and tearing it apart instantly!
Jenna didn't waste any time either, opening fire in a pair of blue and white bird monsters and wrecking them as well. The helicopter was rocked by some impacts, but Naomi had a good handle on the situation and managed to maneuver the aircraft out of the worst of it. Soon enough, Stella had the massive bird and a couple more of the flying foes in her sights.

She embued her bullets with Earth Magic, and opened fire on 3 more Monsters.
9 stones in weapon magic to imbue the machine gun with Earth.
8 stones in RC +? from Machine Gun split evenly vs three monsters.
H: 6/6, 4/4 E: 28/33, 0/12

Stella successfully shot down two more of the flying monsters, and injuring the massive bird as well while she was at it. Which unfortunately pissed it off, as it slammed into the side of the chopper, shaking it violently from the impact.
"Okay, this big guy is annoying the heck out of me", Naomi grumbled. "Mana, get ready!" she let out, maneuvering the aircraft to face the flying monster.
"Got it!" she said, firing the chopper's missile launchers... and blowing up the creature in a burst of feathers and bloody bits!
"Heheh. Nice shot."
All in all, only three more flying beasts were left, including one blue bird on Stella's side, and an Ahriman who apparently decided buzzing off would improve its chances to reach old age.

She easily shot it to bits, and Jenna did the same with the remaining one.
"Nice work, everyone! We're clear!" Naomi said cheerfully.
"Nice shooting", Jenna said as she left the gunner seat and walked by Stella. "You got some skill.♥"

"Thanks." She said moving to sit back down.

They relaxed a bit as the chopper kept flying.
Eventually, Naomi called out: "Cave's in sight. We'll be landing momentarily", she announced, as sure enough a large opening into a cliffside far into the forest came into view.
Soon enough, the aircraft came to a stop in a clearing about 200 yards from the entrance. "And we're here."

"Okay. Treecko? You know the way?" Stella asked. "We'll come 30 seconds after you." She said. "Naomi, Mana. I think you two should stay behind to watch the chopper until we get back. No telling what might come across the aircraft in these woods."

"Cko!" the lizard-like creature said before running off.
"Alright. We'll wait for you guys. If something dangerous happens, we'll take off and come back when we have a chance", Naomi said.
"Or I'll just raise a bunch of undead to devour whatever is attacking us", Mana said nonchalantly.
The rest of the team quickly got out of the chopper with their gear and weapons. It took about 5 minutes before Treecko returned, running up to Stella and waving his arms and speaking up quickly to essentially explain it was a fairly normal looking cave with some natural dangers of its own, but no traps... though there were definitely monsters in there. Not close to the entrance though.

"Okay everyone. Be ready for anything." Stella said leading them inside the cave.

The anything soon became quite obvious... as they reached an illuminated part of the cave with torches mounted on walls, huge pieces of furniture here and there, and a dozen of 8' tall minotaurs armed to the teeth!

She took out Excalibur and Masamune and making sure all her Materia were in the two swords unleashed a double-cut slash all.

Stella leaped into action. Like, VERY, VERY MUCH into action. As in, the rest of her team moved to help, but it was too late. Already, the swordswoman was standing there, blades almost shining in the light of the torches...
...as all the minotaurs fell into bloody pieces around her, much to the astonishment of her companions.
"Holy... mother of God", Runa stammered.

Stella took a few deep breaths. "That was intense."
