Edoric glared at Raymond through his HUD, "You'll have to wait you turn mate."

Artillery and explosives landed all around him, some getting to close for comfort, one making contact. Before anything else happened,  he thruster-dashed to the retreating AAT NCM unit and grabbed it by the legs with the rocket anchors, swing him around as another wave of shells came in. After a full loop around him, he launched his second anchor, leaving the NCM hanging upside down, its legs in the air thanks to the anchors. With zero hesitation, Edoric once again drew a sword, the thin veil of high-frequency particles glimmering in the light. A single stroke, he cut the helpless NCM in half, and its pilot presumably.

Dragging the halved corpse of the machine, Edoric spun his Phantom Zero and attempted to smack Raymond with half of the NCM only for it be sent flying back with a new load of buckshot in it. "Don't even try boy." Raymond snarled through the open coms.
"I don't try." Edoric picked up his second sword from the ground, "I do and complete."

Metal shot tearing off bits of his armor, Edoric braved the automatic shotguns as he charged the mercenary, hoping that he wouldn't turn his attention to anyone else. A quick jab and the point of his blade meat Raymond's NCM's forearm, pausing the hail of lead from the shotguns for a second. Edoric then tried to out maneuver the heavier mech but Raymond recovered quicker than he had expected. One burst volley into the NCM's leg later, Edoric fell to the ground in pain as the neural link transmitted that stuff too for seom god unknown reason.

"Agh! F-Fuck!" Edoric grimaced as he cursed in pain, he could feel the hot iron in his leg, hitting his shin bone even though nothing was really there.

As Raymond advanced towards him, he was meant but a certain iconic plasma beam in the back. While it was definitely not enough to complete destroy it, Himiko succeeded in getting Raymond's attention.

"Stay the [b]fuck[/b] off Edo-chan!" Chiyome screamed into her earpiece at Raymond, "Shinonono! Hit him!"
