[Raidou is indeed expecting a big retaliation, but nothing like this. He won't remember if his sword hit home or not. Everything happened too fast, too suddenly. The sword does indeed hit his friend, though it's immediately knocked free and blasted back along with its bearer. Both go sailing back yards, clattering on the ground together in a heap. It's only thanks to Raidou's nanotech that he survived it, but he's battered from shrapnel, scorched outside and in, and out cold.]
