[B]Francis Bertrand[/B]

Against the heavily armoured frame of the OSDT's upgraded Rook, the Vulcans were utterly ineffective, bullets bouncing off the onrushing body of Bertrand's machine with faint sparks. Against such a weak response, there was no need for him to change his current course of action. There was only so much that beam-treated armour could do against such a barrage of shots, and if the only attempt at retaliating was staying stock still and attacking with anti-missile weaponry, then he would just have to put Yatogami out of his mercy.

While Henry's Rook's armour may have been able to resist the initial impact of a beam, Lumen 1's follow-ups would only serve to tear the heavy armour to shreds piece by piece, bit and bit. Before the nineteen year old could even start to move his machine again, his opponent was already on top of him, rifle barrel pressing into his chest.

A second later, the world dissipated around them, and a simple message flickered onto Henry's screen.

"Yatogami, why didn't you attempt to dodge?"
