Without warning, the Mobile Suit in front of Akihiro was stabbed through an exposed area, with a katana, hitting the pilot directly, killing them. The one behind them was then smashed in with a mace, killing the pilot as well. Akihiro looked and saw both the newly upgraded Barbatos and Amdusias were the ones to save them.
