Elora got the reply from Sigma, and she made a half-hearted laugh. At least she didn't openly despise her for deserting her, and the hope of friendship was still alive for Elora, even if barely. Still, she couldn't help but sigh once more as the other Framewerk now started moving, seemingly reacting to Rilus' appearance. Elora attempted to open up communications with it and explain that she wasn't going to fight, but realized that it was no use: the opposing pilot had it shut off. Well, there isn't any reason for any of them to have them on, after all it was a free-for-all, and Strawberry Team was just an exception.

At this point the opposing Frame's eyes turned red, and Elora found herself staring at the wrong end of a rifle. It was clear that the Frame was hostile at this point, but Elora didn't care. She could have started dodging, maybe get close and scan it, activate her own rifle and have a shoot-out, but Elora found it pointless at this point. She was going to get trounced on by the more powerful Frames once they were done with their scuffle anyway, and there was nothing she could do about it. She didn't have the will to fight like everyone else. She was done.

"Go ahead, give me your worst," Elora said to herself. "Might as well call this a makeshift stress test while we're at it." Rilus then spread its arms wide apart as a sign that she was going to bear every single round the Frame had to offer. The shots clanged against Rilus' robust armor as it stood in place and embraced them. The shots started to dent Rilus' armor, and Elora got warnings from the Combat Analyzer against taking sustained fire, but she shut the computer sound off. There was no need for that anymore. Then, with assistance from Rilus' anti-grav projectors, Elora let her Frame fall on its back with a loud thud, further proof to the rifle-toting Frame that she was easy pickings. If the opponent chose to continue shooting at Rilus, it would result in enough damage for her Frame to be shut down. Elora rolled to her side in her seat, took a fetal position, and listened at the endless clanging.
