And here it is! Russell Melin's weapon! Thanks for the help on this one, guys/gals!

Name: Exagide

Wielder: Russell Melin

Maker/Smith: Russell Melin

Type: Hard-light Projection Emitter Array (HPEA)

Weapon Derivation: Yu-gi-oh Duel Disks

Design: Suitcase is black with a scarlet handle and fastenings. There are two bright silver locks on either side of the handle. Centered on either side of the suitcase (front and back) is a bright green watermelon with two black hammers crossed over it (Russell’s Emblem). Suitcase transforms into a Version 2 Duel Disk-shaped shield. The “blade” is jet-black with watermelon slices patterned on it in place of the normal rectangular panels, and there is one on either side. The center of the Disk has a black slot on the side, and a scarlet circular border with a bright green piece covering the slot.

Holstered/Inactive Form: Shield takes the form of a rectangular suitcase.

Form 1: The center of Disk contains the hard-light projection emitter which is controlled via trigger on the back where he grips it.

Form 2: The Disk’s “blades” can combine to form a shield. The blades are each 81 inches in length (6’, 9”), and a quarter to eleven inches at their thinnest and widest points respectively.

Form 3: The blades combine to form a massive, double-edged great-sword with a cylindrical grip extending from the center of the Disk.

Features: The projector is powered by solar energy, and he can use his weapon to charge his Scroll, or other electronic devices. Up to three hard-light projections can be launched at a time, but they can only move in one direction; forward.

Usage: In its first form, Russell uses his weapon to unleash programmed hard-light projections that unleash a set number of attacks against his foes. The projections can deal massive amounts of damage, but only if he uses them properly. In its second form, Russell is able to block most attacks with ease though a constant assault can eventually break through his defense. In its third form, Russell deals direct, and personal damage against his foe; albeit, relatively slowly since his great-sword is extremely heavy.
