The mecha, larger than the Shield of George, landed on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust and sandstone. However, just when the audience thought they were about to witness the new mecha's formidable powers, the screen stalled.
No, it wasn't a stall but a silence. Both the enemy's two mechas and the new one had fallen into a weird silence, with only the drifting dust and smoke in the distance proving that the scene was still in motion.
This silence did not last long. Though facing an unfamiliar mecha, the two drivers from Purple Light Company preferred to wait for reinforcements, they decided to launch a probing attack, thinking the opponent might have been knocked unconscious by the fall.
Phantom Pain, still having ample ammunition, opened its magazine but didn't fire all at once. Instead, it adjusted the firing sequence and then pressed the trigger.
