Vernon sees Rhys notch and fire the first arrow, pulling his cannon away from the arrow's course. Unfortunately, he didn't see the second because of this. The arrow hits JJ diagonally in the chest, cutting through four layers of armor. "Jesus Christ, that wasn't pleasant. I have my own heat to dish out, though!" The orange energy inside of Vernon's cannon becomes red, and heat waves are visibly warping the air around Vernon's cannon. He fires a charged shot at the right shoulder of the flying Rhys, followed by three uncharged shots to his left.
