Avgust pulled his hand away from his wound, stopping the pressure he applied to it as he grunted--the slightly burnt flesh and blood sticking to the palm of his glove. The air-tight suit would begin to bubble, forming a strong yellow rock-like substance--as to prevent any atmosphere that may harm the Vanguard anymore; but Avgust knew very well this wouldn't substitute as well as the armor. Pushing himself off the ground, the Vanguard Titan left a red handprint in the white snow; a tell-tale sign of his presence. Clicking on his comm with his clean glove, Avgust coughed his order: "We are leaving... get yourselves to any still-functioning Pike;" he pulled his shoulder to lift his Thunderlord, also realizing that it had been struck by an arc round; though not as severe as the one in his lower torso. The orange ember left by the blast was still hot, as the Vanguard forced out another command through the comm; voice notably pained: "Argh... «blin!» notify the Flames they don't have any more defense; we are retreating and regathering."

The Lieutenant pushed past Arxus, motioning for him to follow as he looked into what was now the field of scrap--as he found one Pike that was still functioning. The cannons that added to the offensive capabilities of the vehicle were blown away, and one of the stabilizers was blown to pieces from the Vanguard's fireball explosion demonstration--but the thruster was still functioning; the only real obstacle would be removing the dead vandal off the top of the vehicle. Grabbing the dead body by the shoulder; he tossed the dead Fallen away from the Pike by a good meter with minimal effort... he might have been injured, but that didn't make him any less strong than he was. Hoisting himself onto the Pike, his shoulder and gut screamed from the effort--as the Titan seized the handles in his possession; activating the device as it clumsily lifted itself off of the ground. The vehicle tilted down towards the left, as the stabilizer there was in ruin--but the thrust of the vehicle was still in function; as he would then command: "Find yourself a ride quickly! Before they come down upon us again!"
