Cecil was ready to take on this guy and whatever he had to offer, not seeing anything he was doing as threatening. He didn’t want Ethan to get injured and was prepared to take the hits himself if he had to, seeing how he wasn’t made from flesh. He didn’t know how well he’d do with water but he wasn’t going to care when he was as durable as he was. He didn’t know how strong he was, he had never fought against someone but he still felt there was some underlying instinct in his Machina body that was urging him to fight. It was probably an instinct he shouldn’t have, given he was a machine, but he couldn’t let these people get hurt.

Managing to hold his own against the ice he looked up to the man again, not feeling any threat whatsoever in his words. He didn’t care when he had no actual meaning to his existence yet and if he was comfortable fighting then that’s what he was going to draw his purpose from. Staring at the man with a sharp gaze he watched as he began to attack once more, moving when Ethan moved into attack mode. He wasn’t going to get in anybody’s way except the man’s and was careful with where he took his steps just in case he stumbled over someone. Keeping his arms up he had to guard when more water was being thrown at them, but with a swift move Ethan managed to get around the man and almost slice him up well and good.

Everything was moving so fast, he wasn’t finding any sort of opening to do anything while his only instinct right now was to kill. He knew what he could do, but the others were too close to him. Looking between them all he gasped when Ethan was grabbed in water only for the animal to dislodge him from that water ball, his eyes going to Ethan when he still insisted on giving them orders. He wasn’t going to run, that was a bad idea for him. He had about enough and with the girl now fleeing on the animal and barking orders at him. He had to put an end to this and he knew exactly how to.

Watching Ethan dodge yet another attack he backed off when the water came crashing down, watching as it instead hit the man. He was going to have to get Ethan out of there somehow, but without him moving he wouldn’t be able to give them a clear route and a fair chance. As the man spoke he glanced up momentarily before running around him as he raised the water up once again, stopping at Ethan and grabbing hold of him. “I’m sorry if I hurt you”. Without a moment to lose Cecil threw Ethan into the air with a fair force of strength, getting him to fly high as he turned around himself. He didn’t have much energy for this, but he had to save them all. 

Waiting only a second for Wyth and Amuné to get off the bridge he raised his hands. Very quickly his hands started to glow with a strange energy, but as soon as the energy showed itself electricity forced its way out of his hands and conducted everything that had been soaked by the water. The bridge practically lit up from the energy for just a quick moment and conducted the man as well, but before he got too carried away he ceased his attack and jumped up to Ethan before he could fall, grabbing hold of him before running after Wyth and Amuné.
