As soon as the Rose of Ilya turned away from Yuu, she barely had enough time to put up herbeam saber to block an intense strike from the Ravager. [color=00746b]"How greedy, taking two partners madamoiselle!"[/color] Gerard taunted as he put all of his momentum and power behind that single blow, causing the already damaged surface of the axe to creak under the impact, [color=00746b]"surely you have not forgotten about moi?"[/color] The sudden stop of the force sent both of them shooting away into space but the white MAS superior speed let it restabilise itself and commence an attack with Gerard was hard pressed to match. Used to the feeling of double handing his axe, the frenchman grunted as he used his shortened ravager to parry the rapid stings of the beam saber, though he felt more than a few of the attacks strike home against armour plates, leaving scorching piles of slag in their place. With another strike, Gerard put the Rose on the defensive, driving the edge of his axe against her beam saber. [color=0054a6]"E-Echo, M-Marauder, Williams..enroute."[/color] Ari's voice chimed in through his comms. [color=00746b]"Stay out of this rookie!"[/color] Gerard shouted as he renewed his attack, slamming the axe down again against the beam saber, [color=00746b]"you are not ready for this yet!"[/color] With that split moment of concentration laxed, the rose broke free, too wily of an opponent to not require all of Gerard's attention. [color=00746b]"Merde!"[/color] he shouted as she boosted away from him, before firing her damnable cannon again. Using the head of his axe, he dissipated her attacks against it, but it left it a melted pile of slag. A series of rather uncharacteristic French swears began to filter past his lips as he discarded what remained of the ravager. Ripping the Scattergun from its holster, he racked it and began to boost after her. He would not let this bitch get away.
