Dark Hound, in Fighter Mode, rushed to the scene and fired beams from behind Earth Sword, forcing Earth Sword to evade.
Britney contacted the F90V pilot and told them to leave the scene. She would handle Earth Sword.
Rebecca likewise told F90N to withdraw.
The four contacted their respective opponents and introduced themselves.
Russell had some data on Pirate Gundam X3. He knew the power of that Muramasa Mad Blade.
Sky Sword drew a pair of devices from its waist, and the blades of its physical longswords emitted black beams, reaching a total length of twenty meters.
Rebecca understood what her opponent intended to do. She gripped the Muramasa Mad Blade with both hands and disengaged the safety.
Pirate Gundam X3 and Sky Sword charged at each other. Their blades collided, and the impact of the two streams of Beam Energy sent violent electrical currents scattering everywhere.
Their output and thrust were evenly matched. Neither could overpower the other.
Looking at the instrument readings, Russell said, "I never expected this small MS to have generator output no lower than my Sky Sword. You should know that Sky Sword's engine was built with our nation's most advanced technology, with output reaching around 5,200 kilowatts."
Then Pirate Gundam X3 and Sky Sword continued clashing blades. They crossed past each other from time to time, but neither could injure the other.
Naturally, they were also testing each other's strength. Both pilots were holding something back.
As Sky Sword crossed blades with its opponent again, it drew the Beam Handgun at its rear waist with its left hand and attacked Pirate Gundam X3.
Rebecca sensed the danger a step ahead and reacted immediately. As she dodged, she also drew a Destruction Gun with her left hand and fired back.
Sky Sword dodged as well.
