The Asher took a swing at one the Titans with its Sting Ray, but the Ohm was quick to veer to the side and dodge it. And just as that happened, Jr. heard the explosion behind him. The mecha spun in mid-air with the force that it had let out its attempted attack to face it, and all Jr. saw from his angle was the Titan Zouichi hit being pushed back and the explosion that caused it to do so - the debris and smoke pretty much indistinguishable from anything else ejecting or flying away from the destroyed fighter.

With no way to know who hit who and what the hell caused it, the fact that the Nightmare exploded with no warning beforehand made Jr.'s eyes go wide.

"Zouichi!"

There was no time for anything more than that. A Shrike nearby nailed a blast to the back of the Asher, and Jr. cursed for more than just the hit, gritting his teeth and turning back on the assailant to fire his Tempest at it.
