With the sudden reversal in the battle caused by the three Reapers, the Render suddenly seemed to have time to worry about the soldiers behind it. Now that only one of the armors in front of it seemed to notice it, and that with a less than effective LASR bouncing lower-mass rounds off the thick hide of the beast, it slowly turned around, shaking under repeated blasts. Anzu, Damien and Rin's combined fire finally did a number on it, and the Frame's right arm suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree, catching fire and beginning to explode, but the Render quickly ejected the useless limb, it falling toward a wall before exploding, sending shock waves reverberating through the tunnel, and causing some smaller bits of ceiling to come falling down again.
However, it seemed to still be up to fighting, now sweeping the trio with the unfortunately mounted Gatling cannon, then swiping at Damien with its remaining claw. Just out of reach of grabbing, Damien was instead merely smacked by the claws, which ripped and tore at the front of his armor, reducing his rifle to pieces and causing more warning lights than Damien ever wanted to see to flare up on his HUD. Pain split through his entire body, as he noted that his right arm was basically being held together by part of the armor's, and his abdomen had been compromised, as well as his right leg. It would have been much worse, but a last-seconnd effort to raise his shield had spared the Yamataian from following Max to the grave. Blood poured from his Daisy II, both his and the armor's, as his suit's Hemosynth went into overdrive to try and patch up the wounds. Miraculously, however, Damien would find that his armor was still functional, and he could somehow move, if very painfully.
The Juni was, however, distracted, and could do nothing about it. "Someone help Damien fall back!" he ordered, focused on the enemy Reaper that had somehow managed to flank him and the rest of his squad. He shouldered his rifle and concentrated on aiming, the enemy armor clean in his sights Kai pulled the trigger on his ASGR, running what was left of his magazine out until the rifle clicked, and his target dropped lifelessly to the floor of the subway. Magazine empty, Kai triggered the release lever, letting the magazine fall free, and swapping in a new one before he turned his attention back to the Render.
And then, a flash of thrusters. April's armor took to the air as the Render turned around and expended its rage upon Damien, and while the enemy frame was distracted, the blonde Heisho made her way up to its unprotected right flank, having seen an opening. "Get 'im outta there an' gimme some cover!" she called to Rin and Anzu, not caring who did which, as she landed on the frame's own leg, and began blasting into the empty arm socket with her ASGR, removing accuracy and range from the equation while taking advantage of the obvious weak point. "Ah think it's time we took this here fight back inta our hands!" The Render's intercom system let out a mighty roar of anger and defiance as the smaller Daisy dealt such pain to it from up close, but her position was risky, and she had to jump back away as the enemy frame retracted its arm, getting ready to try and swat April like it had Sif, earlier. In response, April loosed a volley of countermeasure minimissiles and disappeared through the gap in the ceiling.
