Knight kept scrubbing at his own eyes with his cloak, for all the good that would do. He'd need clean water to wash it out with. When Ruby told him that, he swore.

"I could have done with being warned about that ahead of time!"

Ruby wilted shamefully. He was a stranger here, unused to the technology they took for granted. "I…I'm sorry…"

"Hngh. It's not your fault. My lack of knowledge is a weakness we'll have to fix…"

"I thought our side was sure to win." Jaune said. "We had Knight and Leviathan. Knight was only taken out by a gimmick. Once Ruby gets him up to date on modern weaponry, he should be able to avoid anything like that again."

Landing in a roll, Ashari's first thought was for Emerald. He saw her trying to regroup with Cinder – a bad idea – and chased after her. His instincts screamed at him as he did and never one to ignore them Ashari threw himself away, preventing the loss of his head by mere fractions of a second.

He was in motion as well however, loosing two flash bangs from his coat. It had worked before, blinding Knight and removing him from the fight, but even he knew it was hopeful at best to expect a foe to fall for the same trick twice. The second Knight saw them, he closed his eyes and even shielded them with one arm, kicking back and clearing a crazy distance before the canisters exploded in white light with a loud blast.

[...]

Gritting his teeth, Ashari dumped a full bandolier of grenades at Knight's feet, stooped to grab Emerald with one arm and haul her over his shoulder, then kicked back. Knight, like the last time, fled from his grenades before they could have any effect. Fortunate since he hadn't primed or pulled the pin from any of them.

"Hmm. I knew he wouldn't fall for the same trick twice. He didn't understand our technology the first time, but he's had time to get used to it now." Ashari looked ahead.
