Raily shuddered as her spell was ignored by Vexen, looking down in disappointment. Dapper hissed and swiped its paws at the approaching streams of icicle shards. The young witch picked up the yowling black cat in her arms and began floating up upon her broom to avoid the ice strikes exploding from the rhythmic spiraling shields. She was not interested in attacking their opponent, focusing all of her ability towards protecting and helping her team. She zoomed between Ambrose and the party, popping a 'Cure' to help sustain the figurative tank, while helping Aerith to continue the output of her barriers. She wasn't an expert on that sort of magic, and merely transferred her senior whatever spare mana she could. And each time Yuffie cast a bundle of throwing stars, she would try and increase their effectiveness by guiding them under the swinging gusts of her broom-riding 'Aero'.

Though Raily kept a determined look the whole time, her hands were shaking from the fatality of this situation. She knew she signed up for a dangerous walk of life. It was everything she worked up to do her entire life. But nothing she has fought was anything like the enemy who stood before them now. If this Imperator was able to deflect all of their attack so easily, than what chance did they really have? But while she wanted to run away, Raily found herself moving forward. It was like she was in a trance. She didn't even notice the trail of blood dripping down her thigh as she busily dodged ice shards and distributed her support. Voices and fire then filled the back of her eyelids every time she blinked, mirroring the destruction of the Second District happening all around them. The outcrop of silhouettes playing from the back of her mind like from a faint projector. The louder they got, the more she pushed herself to act. Perhaps frantically so. She couldn't allow yet another world to fall to the Empire. Not again. 

"I don't really get all the weird names you're throwing around..." she says after hearing Ambrose speak his vague plan, grinning as best as she can while dodging an ice spike that narrowly grazed Dapper and herself. "But I think I know what you're trying to say. If you think you have a plan to take down this melodramatic freak, I'll back you up 100%! Dapper too."

The black cat makes a thumbs-up sign at this remark and joins Raily as she rears her spindled broom once again. The pair quickly swoops overhead, making it hard for the ice to hit her while she prepared for Ambrose to begin his attack. She can feel her vision blurring at this point. Raily knew this was all or nothing. She can't allow herself to falter. She was prone to failure all her life, but she wouldn't let herself mess up now of all times.
