Avgust lowered his Thunderlord, the sixty round drum ejecting to the floor as the Vanguard slammed in another, placing the sights over the feed again and primed the weapon once more. He was preparing to unleash another sicty rounds of thunderbolt at the Fallen Archon, who had quickly become the Titan's priority. With the Fallen scattered, the Vanguard thought the rest of the fight would have played pitifully for Rhall. But very soon did Avgust lay his eyes on the dozens of Exo frames beginning to join the Fallen in battle. Two made their way to Avgust, one carrying a shock pistol, and the other: double arc blades.

Avgust stood his ground, aiming down his sights as he unleashed fury upon the Exo carrying the shock pistol, the arc energy running through the frame as the shell of the Exo broke and shattered. The Vanguard checked his HUD, the reading on the ammo announcing he only had thirty-two rounds left in the drum. The Vanguard swore something vile in his own tongue, trying to focus on the Exo with the arc blades. But the Exo gained too much ground, as the metal machine forced the Thunderlord out of Avgust's hands by bringing its arc blades down on the forearm of the Lieutenant. Avgust grunted with shock, as the two blades collided with the one mounted on his forearm.

The Vanguard was forced down a lane of memory, trying to recollect where he had been taught to defend himself when he found no time to retrieve a weapon from his holster. Lord Saladin had been quite demanding when it came to teaching a Guardian the use of self-defence when they didn't have a weapon in their hands. It only took two shots from the well-doctrined Titan to force any trainee to the ground. Avgust had thought Saladin's training had been a second hell, a time where you could always rely on physical pain being the direct result for every action. But Avgust had stepped out of Saladin's training as a champion, he stood his ground, and when it came to the Twilight Gap—Avgust had been lucky enough to serve by Saladin and survive.

As the Exo made another attempt to bring its blades down on Avgust, the Lieutenant dove underneath and slammed an arc-surging fist into the jaw of the frame. It lifted the Exo off the ground with a jolt, as the Vanguard quickly took the moment of it being stunned to his advantage. Seizing one of the machine's arms, he bent it in one of the most uncomfortable positions to ever be witnessed; continuing to bend it even past the point of the Exo dropping the arc blade, as soon the sound of metal snapping was heard. The machine shrieked, as the Titan then released his grasp and plannted his boot on its back, forcing the Exo frame to the ground.

Avgust retrieved his Strike One Handgun from the holster on his utility belt, aimed down the sights and fired off four rounds point blank range into the Exo's head. Metal peeled away, and sparks soon flew in whichever direction they could to escape. Avgust released his hand off the trigger as soon as he knew the frame was dead, as he then turned his focus onto whichever threat he could next locate.
