Like a sandstorm, the unknown unit strike right into one of the Duplica Stratos unit, separating them from their respective main group.
Sparks flew as the unit landed in the ground, spark and dust flew, creating an illusion of crimson trail of a fiery blaze.
"Ichika, isn't that...."
The young emperor waved his massive claw, refitting the artificial joints mounted inside his gauntlet, and then, his claws extend by twice as long and shines brightly.
"Yeah, reinforcement is coming, Houki"
Behind the emperor and his queen, a couple of teenagers shown up inside their chariots, of all colors, like a rainbow. Majestic appearance bringing hope within their entrance.
"Sorry to make you wait, Ichika, Houki"

Hmm.... at least it comes with a bang
