Sevenger Fight[]
In GAF's Suflan Island branch, Beam Missile King was originally an immobile fortress of turrets used to protect the GAF facility stationed in there while a research using freezing liquid was taken place. Unfortunately a cosmic ray radiated said fortress and converting it into Beam Missile King, set into attacking the facility it was meant to protect. Haruki in Sevenger was dispatched to fight against the robot while trying to avoid colliding with STORAGE's 4WD Stowler. While struggling with Beam Missile King's array of cannons, Sevenger whips out the Type-20 Bayonet Type 2 dagger and slices the robot, causing it to spray a spark. Sevenger further punched the robot and it burst into an explosion. At the end of the battle, Sevenger/Haruki purposefully placed his teammates' Stowler on top of a rock after getting tired of their nagging. Sevenger Fight
