Time turns, and has already changed. Vector no longer knows what will happen, but he can make predictions. Such as the fact that the man will fire another shot if not stopped, and though he cannot risk splitting his attention to see how Skyfire and the others have reacted...
He holds the sphere there, calculating for a few astroseconds - then pulls back with one of the blades, the shards forming a ring in midair before the area inside it...changes.
This in itself may or may not be familiar to the lot of them.
But it's only there for so long. The other shards drop, rereleasing the beam, but only to let it go in to the spacebridge. Only so far away, by the man, it's released, angled just so to avoid the building.
The man himself, on the other hand, is fair game. And lost from sight as the shards fall down, reforming in to swords that are easily caught by the Prime.
