[color=#b3ccff]"Selene, Eos. Any idea what they're trying here? Something like Famfrit, or do we think they're trying to replace Siren a little more directly?"[/color]

Valheimer soldiers fell upon each other as Rudolf and Miina unleashed their respective magical attacks, Galahad leaping straight for their leader and Chisato already diving into the middle to execute those who couldn't notice her in time; no doubt, Izayoi was moments away from the same. And in that same moment...

The fairies looked at him helplessly, shrugging their little arms. Predictable. [color=#b3ccff]"Éliane, cover me, would you?"[/color] he bid the last member of their party to still be standing next to him. [color=#b3ccff]"Selene, double time."[/color] Without waiting for a response from either, he darted off, veering wide of the melee breaking out directly ahead.

[color=#cc44f5][b]"Got it!"[/b][/color] His sprint picked up in speed with Selene and Eos flying next to him, nearly gliding over the half-frozen ground as he bypassed the beleaguered blackhelms that were being dispatched by the other Kirins. Between the two fairies, the extra materia he had gotten, his own weapons and skill, and how quickly the others would likely catch up, he figured he was as safe as he'd ever been while traveling with them. And, if they were supposed to be held back until 'the operation' was complete, rushing up to try and disrupt it seemed as good an attack as any.

Especially when he punctuated his rapid arrival with pistol fire towards whichever Valheimer invader seemed to be in charge of what was happening at the hilltop.
