Ariin growled as he watched the shot miss the Cruxi as it scrambled away from it's post. "Fine you bastard, let's see who can drop the other first. May the better shot win." He grunted with most of the large or deeper penetrated crystals removed Paladin could move at least in normal capacity. Though it did feel strange not to have Legion anymore and still be unable to move faster. He readied the coils and gave off two volley's at the sniper, hoping to drop it before it took a shot at him or one of the others.

Otherwise he spoke into his comm's deciding it would be best to organize themselves for an advance once they had cleared the area. "Jason, Krista, once were clear let's advanced up let the other's organize up front while we can provide volley fire support." He spoke, knowing both had fire power but not the armor he did. Even without his shield Paladin could take punishment like no one else, it was called a fortress class for a reason. "Might not have a shield but I can take few hit's still so keep behind me when you can. If it get's bad Jason you can take over point duty." He spoke prepping his mech for a sweeping advance.

He then changed the line to a private call, speaking just to Jason. "Keep cool and stay focused. You want to get in there and we will. Right now, we need to maintain fire support and sweep up slowly. We've already taken hits and rushing full speed is gonna get us all shredded." Spoke Ariin to the man as he knew what it was like to want to save someone. "We will get them all out of here but we can't risk unnerving the others especially right now. We need everyone focused and believing we can beat this, moral is part of synchronization rating, that dips our ability to fight dips." 

He focused his automated eye on the site of sniper trying to peer through the smoke and see if it was dead. "I promised Elora I'd keep her safe back when they put us all together... I couldn't stop them capturing her." He took a breath out and then took a deep breath in. "But we're getting Elora back and we're going to help Serah. So eyes forward, guns hot, keep your head on straight and we all go home alive." He added the last part to try remind him they were soldiers. "And if it comes to it I'll give my life to keep anyone here safe." He let Jason know he was not above giving his life for Serah or anyone else here.
