Along the coast of Los Angeles, the Atlantean and human armies exchanged fire. Energy beams and flames from explosions filled the sky as the battle raged fiercely.
Ability users were different from the army. Their organization and discipline fell far short of the military's, so their interception efforts were somewhat ineffective. Several teams of ability users often intercepted the same target, wasting their efforts.
On top of that, the Atlanteans' firepower was far stronger than the humans'. Many energy crystals struck the Defensive Shield and exploded, making it shake even more violently.

The humans used a fully enclosed Defensive Shield. This type of shield needed several openings; otherwise, the people inside couldn't attack targets outside, because the shield would block their attacks.
To compensate for this weakness, Samantha had used ability users to quickly build a defensive line. The soldiers and ability users were mostly stationed behind it, while police patrolled the city to guard against Atlantean sneak attacks or anyone taking advantage of the chaos to loot.
