The first two rockets tore through space aimed straight at the Quel between Romav and the crippled Salamis. The pilot was skilled but was so focused on shooting down the zig zagging midnight mobile suit that he didn't pay attention to the explosive warheads drawing on it. At the last second the pilot's peripherals detected it and brought it's shield to bear just in time for it to be obliterated by the first rocket sending it reeling back with concussive force just in time to be struck squarely by the second causing the dark purplish suit to glow with sparks and plumes of fire belching forth from it before it exploded completely.<br/><br/>Behind it the three rockets he'd fired in succession fared much worse. The first was shot out of the sky outright, the second clipped a piece of floating debris to spiral off target and explode at a glancing blow on the Salamis with little effect. The third however landed on target however in his the Romav's haste to fire and move on he chose a heavily armored section towards the bow of the Salamis and while spectacular it didn't add to the already crippled nature of the vessel. Victor wasn't aware of this as the Kämpfer had already moved on keeping pace with the Gelgoog that wasn't so much being piloted at this point as it was being forcibly dragged into the battle as if a chain were about the suits neck and it's anchor was the final Salamis. Beams glanced over the Kämpfer's armor scorching the titanium ceramic composite that lent to the Kämpfer's agility with none of them landing a deadly blow.<br/><br/>The radio chatter coming from the blue Gelgoog didn't sound like any pilot that Romav had ever known. It sounded like a prisoner locked in solitary confinement screaming at the world around him.<br/><br/>"Fettel, Kayra! Take that functional Salamis out of play! We're drawing their fire!"<br/><br/>Even if he didn't want to the fury of the blue gelgoog and the mesmerizing flicker of the Kämpfer drew plenty of attention from the remaining suits. Even as the suits danced about the Lieutenant barked orders but didn't take the time to notice one of the Quels that had been firing at the Kämpfer to no effect drew a beam saber and bore down on the nimble suit hoping to lock it up in close combat.  "Hmmm?" The Lieutenant only noticed the vertical strike of the saber at the last second and while dodging out of the way the barrel to his bazooka became two pieces. "Damn it!" was all the pilot could bellow as the Kämpfer fired chest mounted vernier's and quickly created a space before discarding the now useless bazooka. And retrieved the Jagdgewehr Shotgun that had been carried uselessly in his left hand.<br/><br/>The pilot had skill but now was lost in his desire to kill the annoying Kämpfer and drove straight on with the shield pushed out. Romav fired one shell at the Quel to test the shield but it was pointless as the shield absorbed the round. Romav had to time this right as the blade was already raised in a vertical strike position again. The Quel was obviously wanting to end the confrontation in one blow. Within the Kämpfer Romav slammed the controls and was thrown to the right by the sheer force as the Quel brought the blade down just missing it's mark and at the exposed position Romav fired two rounds directly into the right midsection of the Quel and metal blew away from the suit along with a small hint of crimson as the pilot was struck by the second shot and at once the Quel was removed from the battle leaving Romav with  seven shots left in the magazine. He fired the thrusters and within moments was with the blue Gelgoog again.
