Roy: *When he's about go after 2 pawns break right, he notices Taku's PT head back to the ship. He changed his mind to keep covering for the guy. With a litting side boosting and springboard from a ship hull, his graze zips towards Taku's location. He learned that playing lone wolf in that sim almost kicked his ass.*

-Pawn 1 strikes at asagi, slashing at her as it passes by, or at least where she had originally been-
-the mook gets a nasty cut across its chest, but asagi finds that her zaku 1 now has a crystal blade embedded in the right shoulder-
-and shindan's beam actually blows one of pawn 1's legs off-
-however that's when pawn 2 and 3, which broke right, open fire on the vayeate as they come in from above with their own beam rifles-
-takanuva unfortunately finds that pawn 4, has resumed chasing him, readying a crystal blade as it begins to close on him as pawn 5 dive bombs roy, firing off its beam rifle, which while it doesn't do a lot of damage does knock the graze off balance-
—Takanuva aims with his beam rifle as he adjusts his Huckebein to go downward instead of forward and fires off three rounds from his beam rifle as he tries to track the trajectory of his pursuer while firing to destroy the thrusters or (unintentionally), the cockpit if they're located in the abdomen—
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Asagi: ...Oh. Huh. That...actually worked?
-After slowing down her momentum so she can reasonably turn, she holsters the machine gun on her Zaku 1 and tries to pull out the crystal sword from the 'bot's shoulder. She knows she's in the middle of a space battle, but better now than when it turns out she needs that arm-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)-unfortunately for you roy, your opponent isn't exactly a rookie to piloting, the machine manages to avoid most of the bullets, taking two hits, but he grabs hold of your rifle with his free hand and crushes the barrel-
-Takanuva, you're not exactly doing so hot yourself, as Pawn 4 is making use of debris as cover, letting your shots slam into pieces of rock or the debris of battles from long ago, though for now it's stopped shooting at you and is more focused on evasion-
-asagi you manage to pull out the chunk of crystal, and the arm still seems to be working though a bit slower than before. There are two pawns bearing down on Shinden now-
Asagi: Great. Ambulation seems to be damaged for this arm. Gonna need to swap the axe. I wonder...
-She turns the shard over in the zaku's hand a bit to check the shape...and then does a wind up before hurling the chunk of crystal right at one of the pawns attacking Shinden-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)—Takanuva takes the momentary freedom from being attacked to go full bore on the speed and head straight to the ship, while still trying to perform a serpentine maneuver while heading for the ship—
@Group: I could use some help over here!
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Phillip:-had launched out in the R-1 Kai, after saying a polite gretting to it, not that she really knew what was going on-
-aaaaand now people were shooting at each other over the crystals-
-rather than fight Phillip used her boosters to go back over to the cluster and try to grab another sample since she was curious herself and it looked like bullets and other things were flying at the other one-
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850-the crystal actually absorbs some of the beams fired from the two pawn mechs before exploding and creating a blinding flash-
-this is your chance to hide shindan, or run back to the ship-
-as takanuva heads back to the ship, he sees that the cannons are beginning to readjust-
murasagane: takanuva, we have you on radar. Please continue heading on your current path and do not deviate for your own safety.
-the battleship unleashes a devastating array of fire power to drive off the pawn chasing him-
-meanwhile, roy you find that in terms of raw strength, your graze is outmatched by this pawn which grabs the graze's knee with one hand, stopping it, and then crushing your leg at the knee joint before punching your graze in the cockpit to knock it away.-
Pawn 4: sir, they've got the crystal back to their ship, their anti-air curtain is too dense, i can't get close.
-Pawn 2 is kicked by shindan, though at this point the beam cannon has cooled off so it might be smarter just to blast them as pawn 3 starts to regain its vision and tries to take aim on the vayeate, only to get its arm cut off by the zaku I-
-Pawn 5 meanwhile looks around, having lost sight of roy due to the crystal explosion-
-the original mystery mech, now called 'squire', meanwhile gets slammed through an asteroid-
Squire: damn it you mercenaries, I've-
-he sees phillip and the R-1 kai trying to take another chunk of crystal and then fires his beam cannon at her, only to once again get kicked by haken for being distracted.-
-HAD ENOUGH! LARSEILAM DRIVE FULL POWER! TIME WILL HALT!
Asagi: We sure a-
-And then she hears the "Squire" guy screaming over the communications-
?
The heck's a Larseilam dr-
!
◊
-Without further explanation beyond a very loud cry of "Awwww damnit!", she holds up her zaku's broken arm to defend herself from...something-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)-right as shindan is about to blast one of the pawns apart, the effect happens-
-you all actually seem to be aware this time even though time itself has frozen completely, but all you can do is really watch as the squire mech impales Haken's zaku III with its blade, then goes and takes the crystal from phillip, kicking the R-1 kai to vent some frustration-
-thankfully for you asagi, it seems like the machine didn't have time to deal with you. as the machine grabs its comrades and retreats with the rest of the crystal rather than sticking around to try and wipe you out-
-time resumes its normal flow after a few seconds-

-Asagi exhales loudly, actually sounding like she tried to hold her breath for no apparent reason-
Asagi: Auuuuugh I shoulda figured that's how that jackass was doing it that time!
-She flies over to check on Haken, since she came out better than expected-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)

-Shindan pans over to the path Asagi dodged from as she does so while not letting go of the fireing controls-
-Unnntil the gun overheats-
-But before that, it hopefully makes a clip-
