Breaking free from Ansel's clutches wasn't easy, but Leandro managed it.
Meanwhile, Lyra seized her opportunity. With everyone still stunned, she commanded Schedar to dive straight into the cockpit of Broken Blade's mecha.
Leandro acted fast. A flurry of laser blasts, followed by a surge of his powers, hammered the mecha hard.
The once formidable machine twisted under the force, blood beginning to ooze from the cracks like a horror movie coming to life.
Panic shot through the Broken Blades Pirates like a bad rumor. Desperate, they rushed forward, eyes wild with fear.
One of their more advanced mechas, which had been relentlessly hunting Lyra, suddenly swerved and ditched its mission. He headed straight for the remains of their leader's machine, clearly hoping to save what was left and make a break for it.
