Cecil really tried hard with that last attack and really went all out, throwing out as much aggression as he could muster for his current mental condition. He just wanted them all to survive and to do that they had to get through the creature and destroy the one who was summoning them. He knew there was no way around the creature, so he opted to go through it. Driving in as much power as he felt he could he made a desperate attempt to destroy it, using a rapid succession of punches before leaping up and firing a blast of energy. He didn’t even know he could do such a thing but he was going along with it, simply because he wanted to save his friends; however, it was his turn to be saved as the slight lift the beam gave him only lasted a moment before he fell back down, unable to divert himself away from his inevitable fall.

Just when he thought he was doomed he was luckily saved, thankfully by Ethan of all people. He didn’t know how much the others were willing to risk to prevent him from falling in the water, but Ethan was willing to risk his entire position just to catch him. He didn’t need to do that, if he hit the water and was damaged by it they could just dump him and get a new Machina, either that or leave him and get him later. “Uhh! T-Thanks, but you didn’t have to!” he spoke quickly, feeling his energy was rather drained after that and still trying to recover, “I don’t know if I have another one of those in me. I’m not going to be of much help anymore…”

While he didn’t really think of himself as expendable, he was fully aware that he could be repaired if they wanted and if they didn’t have any use for him anymore they could just leave him. He wasn’t as important as they were in the long run, especially when he was just a Machina. Feeling a little worn out he looked around to see the creature collapsing, holding onto Ethan so that he wouldn’t fall in as the summoner made yet another threat to them. Staring at the summoner, he frowned before gasping at the sight of the monsters that yet further showed themselves to them, watching as they slowly rose up and formed to threaten them once more. 

Cecil didn’t know what to do at this point, he didn’t know if he could go all out again and again just to get to this monster. Staring at the creatures, Cecil looked back to Ethan who still sounded confident that they could beat them, frowning at the very suggestion before with a gasp when his sensors suddenly started going off at the indication of danger. Immediately turning to try and see what it was he grasped hold of Ethan when the danger turned out to be a torrent of water. Okay he was going to die here, or rather he was if he wasn’t being carried by Ethan. Managing to avoid it he still couldn’t help but feel rather terrified, knowing what it meant immediately. They had to get out of here or they were all in trouble, especially him with all that water.

Getting off Ethan when Remus decided to talk to them briefly he felt alert and ready to follow orders, knowing it was probably the best course of action right now. He was pretty terrified, he knew they had to leave and yet there was hesitation with the others. Looking to Ethan as he immediately started running to collect Amuné his eyes glanced back at Nymira, staring at her before he started running as well. He didn’t know how long he could run after all that, he didn’t know his energy limits when it came to this magic stuff or whatever it was that he did. “Where are we going now? What are we doing now?? Why were they after us too??”
