(Welp, that sword does cut through her shield, and she retaliates with a punch.)
(Leos just keeps shooting, but one of his rifles gets caught in one of the Sword Beams, and it promptly explodes, but the second one is unopposed to heading to the building. It impacts against one of the rooms, but thankfully, it wasn't Sthesia's.)
Damnit!
Leos! I have an idea! When I say, draw that sword!

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
(Aichi nearly falls over from the rumbling of that other room being hit.) "Ahhhhhhh!"
(C-Calm down, Aichi... T-They're fine... They're all fine...)
(Aichi hears Anna though...) "A-Anna..."
(He feels horrible... The Earth Anna is from... it was where those scientists were, after all... It's not wonder she'd think the place is scary...) "...W-We're here for you, Anna..."
(Yep, Sthesia definitely has a plan...! Although Misaki looks over at Aichi and Anna and can't help but remember just how little the three of them can do...)
(Both Aichi and Misaki are still watching nervously [Although it's a bit less noticeable in Misaki's case]. Leos can do this...! He has to...)
(Suprisingly, Acht is keeping up a solid defense, as she's not underestimating Alexa this time around: every attempt to slice the Tachyon is meant with a parry from its Tachyon Slicer. In fact, she manages to counter by launching Alexa up into the air, battering it with a few strikes from her sword, and then ramming her into the ground.)
Don't underestimate me!!!
(Leos attempts another salvo and beam blast combo to stop Tachyon from landing a fatal hit on Alexa's Skell. It works, as she starts charging him as if she was using the sword as a lance at high velocity, using her thrusters to speed her across the ground.)
(Leos however, catches the sword with his remaining rifle, which results in it blowing up, and he attempts to punch her.)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."(Speaking of laying into her...)
And... sent!
(While Tachyon is immobilized, it isn't long before Acht manages to overpower the field, expanding her lightning-infused blade to a gigantic size and walloping all three of them at the same time in one circular strike.)
Just die!
(While Leos crashes a fair distance away from the evil Gundam, the glowing components of his Extreme Gundam start glowing even brighter.)
Leos! I've sent you some data, now's your chance!
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
(The battle is raging on...)
(Aichi hears Anna. 'Mars'...? She's been to Mars...?)
(...Aichi wants to ask, but he's sure this isn't the time...)
"...I just want you to know that the Earth Misaki and I are from isn't like that."
(Sure there are mean people, but that's all he's ever had to deal with. The place isn't perfect, but it is actually a nice place...) "I know you'd like it there... and you'd be able to have a lot of fun playing Vanguard too!"
(He's trying his best to comfort her... and maybe help distract her and himself from their fear.)
(Misaki sees and hears Aichi. She nods along with what Aichi says.) "Yeah, I'm sure you would love it, Anna..."
(Both of them switch their focus back to the fight. The tension is palpable.)
Roger! (Leos sheds the Eclipse Face parts off of the Gundam, and enters in a new command after reading the proposed codename for the new mode) Extreme Gundam, Xenon Face, Evolve!
(Tachyon starts to really take a beating now.) Ow! Quit it! (She spins so that her sword is like an oncoming buzzsaw, deflecting Alexa's souped-up assault rifle and Cross's souped-up drone attacks!)
Sister. Master has a request.
Ugh, can't it wait, you stupid nerd!? I'm busy!
Master says to capture a specific individual. I'm sending you the data now.
(Meanwhile, Leos's Extreme Gundam forms a new backpack with gauntlets and leg-mounted boosters. After he draws the AE Blade, another sword, this one being similar to the Tachyon's sword, pops up on the rear-skirt holster and he draws it.)
(It basically looks like this
◊ now).
Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
(Aichi can't help but feel relieved that Anna seems a little happier upon thinking that.) "It'd be nice if you, Leos, Sthesia, and all of my other friends could go there someday..."
(He'd love to be able to introduce his friends to one another... It'd be a lot of fun!)
"...It would be nice."
(Perhaps this doesn't seem like a good time for this conversation, but it's keeping all three of them a bit calmer as the fight continues.)
(Both Aichi and Misaki look on in awe as the changes.)
"A new form for the Gundam...!"
(Leos can do this!) "Go, Leos!"
Outside (Aichi) and (Misaki)
(Aichi's imagining it also... All of his friends together back home... Having fun playing Vanguard...)
(It'd just be so great... And they wouldn't have to worry about any fighting or danger... They'd be safe...)
"I-It'd be wonderful if..."
(...If Sthesia was there... especially...)
(Misaki is paying more attention to the fight. Leos has this. She knows he does!)
(Acht manages to just dodge that and punt Cross aside.) Outta my way!
Hey! (Acht can just see Leos charging at her while Dual Wielding his Tachyon Slicer sword and AE Blade beam saber, and the result is Leos just hacking the Tachyon Phase Pack to pieces.) STAY... DOWN!
(Before Leos lands a fatal strike, Acht's core unit ejects from the wrecked Tachyon Phase and charges straight for the Room.)
Sthesia!
Everyone, duck!
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."

(Okay, turns out those shields on her shoulder are pretty damn tough.)
Heh, whatever, that just means one more ass to kick!
(Leos continues barraging her with his Shoulder Cannons.)
Take this! (She swings a couple Sword Beams at Leos.)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
