Undeterred, the infernus marines within the Repulsor disembarked, their assault further weakening the Knight Errant with three devastating wounds. Then, with grim determination, the Repulsor swung its turret around, unleashing two heavy laser destroyer shots that narrowly missed obliterating the pilot's life.

In a final act of defiance, the Repulsor charged forward, its onslaught culminating in a blaze of glory as it delivered four fatal blows to an Armiger, even as its own demise loomed near.
