The enemy leader is doing his best to separate from the Shura after being tackled, and tries to quickly wrench away from the Gundam when the Shura pulls its shotgun and begins firing. His subordinates are also having to take quick evasive maneuvers due to the fire the Gundam is pumping out, which means they're too busy to try and help their commander.

Yuuki's ferocious attack overwhelms the trio. The commander's suit manages to wrench away from the Gundam, but before he can get stable, a blast from her shotgun catches him full in the torso, and his suit messily explodes. One of the others fares little better, catching a quick energy spray in the back, decimating the suit's attitude controls, and sending it spiraling away to crash into the surface of the ship below, the flare of explosion rapidly fading away. The third member fares a bit better, only catching the edge of a blast, but it's enough to make them turn tail and run, trailing smoke. The three suits further back in the formation alter their course to cover his retreat, and seem to pause, unsure of whether to approach the Gundam and attack or wait for reinforcement. This leaves them open for any number of actions.

Indecision The enemy's morale is causing them to second guess each other, making them slower to react than normal.
Captain Brighton, meanwhile, has turned her seemingly reckless run through the main enemy formation into a killing field by leading her pursuers through a trap she cleverly set with the Sazabi's bits. The remote weapons laid dormant, and the enemy mistook them for mines, a mistake they pay dearly for, as when they pass through the formation, the bits come to life, firing their beam guns, maneuvering quickly and erratically to aim at a new target, then shifting once again in a kaleidoscopic flurry that spells doom for any enemy caught inside it. In short order, the six suits pursuing the Sazabi are utterly annihilated, as one by one, its bits slowly return to it after performing their grim work. Once free of its pursuers, Sazabi streaks back towards Yuuki and Athrusa's positions. Curiously, the enemy doesn't seem inclined to pursue it further.
Instead, they seem more interested in gathering information at this point. The remaining enemy near Yuuki and Athrusa hold their positions, and also hold their fire. Perhaps they're trying to analyze the Gundams to determine a better strategy?
