Arsenio fell to the floor as shots were fired at him. A quick look revealed to Arsenio that his attacker was a boy with white hair, a coordinator, probably. He was about to get into a gunfight with his attacker when the white-haired boy was distracted by his partner getting shot. Arsenio took advantage of the distraction by making a run for the Duel. He immediately regretted not attempting to kill his attacker as his attacker began heading towards the Raider. With people frantically trying to get into the suits to either steal them or prevent them from getting stolen, it became relatively quiet in the deep end of the hangar where ZAFT must have figured it was too risky at this point to try to get the Duel, leaving Arsenio free to get into the familiar Gundam uncontested.

Once inside, Arsenio booted up the OS and activated the experimental phase shift armor, causing the grey Gundam to change colors, revealing a blue, white, and orange color scheme. The Duel tore itself from the hangar frame, giving no regard to the collateral costs the facility might incur. At this point he noticed that the Aegis, the Strike and the Raider had activated; He had seen his attacker go towards the Raider, so his best guess was that the Raider was now piloted by the enemy. It had also fired at the trike, so heis best guess was the Strike's pilot was an ally. Who was in the Aegis would be a major deciding factor. Right now, the Raider and the Aegis were the most dangerous, their weapons were built in and were beam weapons, and could be operational as long as the suits had energy. If the enemy had both those suits, then this would surely be a tough fight. The Strike probably only had its daggers, while his own Duel had its beam sabers and beam rifle stored safely elsewhere and the bazooka which was nearby he knew to be unloaded. A quick glance at the Duel's status let him know that his head vulcans had also been emptied of their ammunition for the test he had just performed. The only available and usable weapon at hand was his anti-beam shield. Arsenio grinned madly to himself, it wouldn't be fun if it was easy. But first, to establish friend from foe he broadcast to the nearby suits and through the Duel's speakers, "This is Ensign Arsenio Forneus of OMNI Enforcer!! You in the Pink and Black Gundams, identify yourselves or I will end you!"
