Though the sight was unexpected, the surprise faded quickly. Whether Zero understood the ecstasy flowing through Harpuia in this moment was irrelevant - he was still in the middle of a mission. Losing his focus for even a second before it was complete was a mistake.
The charge reached maximum capacity again, and again Zero smashed into Harpuia's chest plate with a violent burst of energy. This time, as his fingers dug in, they found purchase in the weakened structure of his armour. With an audible creak of strained metal, his grip tightened. At first slow and firm, he pulled, twisting that handful of armour out of place - before coldly yanking the plating off Harpuia's chest.
Zero dropped it on the ground where it left a splattering of coolant as it clattered to a stop. It was still in one piece at least - bad shape, but not unsalvageable. Had Zero crushed it in his hands like he normally would to his enemies, it'd never be usable again.
