The Ace Cadet waited only as long as it took Blazermate and Kamek to convene and heal Sakura before he broke away from his impromptu guard post. Though it had been hard to watch Sakura get beaten into the dirt, that kid was tough so he knew she would be fine after a pick me up. Now it was time to go back on the attack. Well, after one thing. The hunter put plenty of space between himself and the healers, adding his own little bump of health to the Seekers at large in the form of his last lifepowder. The spores spread out and did their job, giving that little extra bit of healing to the group and patching up the smaller injuries that had started to pile up. By the time the situation with Sakura was sorted and the Cadet was ready to move, Geralt had already pitched Nadia and the feral had stunned the Orphan with her explosive move - then came back together in one piece, thankfully. 

The Cadet glanced at the Hat Kid ice sculpture. [color=salmon]"Get ready, we're gonna charge,"[/color] he told her, giving her the opportunity to take a breather before they moved in. It had been several grueling minutes with every wound an ally took seeming to stretch the time out, but the battle had to be nearing its end. Just so long as the Orphan didn't pull out another form change. [color=salmon]"Eradicating fiends like that is the meaning of justice. Let's go!"[/color]

In the next moment the Cadet was running down the beach toward the surf with Hat Kid perched on his shoulder. Blazermate's beam attack went flying by and slammed right into Galeem's Guardian, but even that wasn't enough to stop the monster. Eager to get back into the fray directly the Cadet ran all the harder towards it, following the trail Link blazed. Rigging weapons primed he moved up, too far now to even attempt to help out Blazermate after the lightning dropped down on her. He'd just focus on putting in as much damage as possible so that they could put a stop to all this.
 
[color=salmon]"Kid!"[/color] he said, signaling to the girl on his shoulder that they'd need her ice form again. Once she slotted herself into place the Cadet used the weapon as a spring to vault them over the shock waves, calling on a combination of his experience with the Great Sword and the Insect Glaive, plus the Ice Hat's own ability. It was effective, and once clear of [i]that[/i] danger the duo landed on the water and rushed right towards a different kind. 

[color=salmon]"Heads up!"[/color] He skated forward on the water, adding his rigging's gunshots to the ones already boring into the Orphan. He came around from behind the Hylian, intending to follow up Link's uppercut with the lance turned ice hammer. Raising it over his head, the Cadet swiftly brought the weapon down on the Orphan's skull where Link had popped it up. The strike sent the monster crashing into the waves for a second, powerless to stop any of Geralt's slices, and then it was propelled back into the air again. The Orphan was already starting to regain it's bearings, raising it's blade to retaliate against the Seekers engaging it at that moment. It lashed out, attacking the three men indiscriminately. The Cadet was banking on his armor protecting him from a lethal hit, focusing on keeping the precious ice statue out of shattering range. At one point the Orphan screeched and aimed it's blade at one of the other's heads, and the Cadet rushed forward to use the body of the Sharq Attack to block the blow. The force of it took a huge chunk out of the frozen sharq and sent reverberations through the Cadet's arms but he held tight. With Hat Kid hanging in there he once again brought the weapon down on the Orphan, knowing that after that attack the lance wasn't much longer for this world. But they were so close. So close! They had to be!
