Damn. That looked big. And if Jade had Meteor, anything bigger couldn't be good.

Well. If they all insisted on buffing each other, the only fair thing to do would be share.

"I'm not gonna just stand here while Jade kills us!" he snarled. With a cloud of smoke, Reno vanished, appearing behind the protective lines of Jade's comrades and in front of the man himself. A swift headbutt to the bridge of Jade's nose aimed to interrupt his spell, and the use of Larceny ensured that Reno would take a little something for himself out of it.

Sparks is a little confused at being told not to heal someone, but if Jack insisted...

For a moment, Sparks considered using Runic to absorb whatever whopper of a spell Jade was throwing their way. With Reno hopefully interrupting that, he took his chance to fire instead, not wanting to put off attacking again. He wanted to get Jade disabled enough that maybe the others would call it quits. A fire elemental beam was shot his way from the Magitek armor.

Somewhere, something inside of Anise snapped.

She'd been around Jade long enough to know how much spells his damage could do, and that if he actually got Ultima off there was a non-zero chance that someone would actually die. It was now or never, and maybe it was just the anger and frustration clouding her judgement, but she felt a sudden rush of courage.

"If you'd stop being so stupid, I wouldn't be interfering! Wake up already!"

And, instead of helping defend against the other hero's attack, she piles one of her own into the mix, a mid-level ice spell. She's nowhere near as powerful as Jade or Tear, and the spell itself wasn't strong to begin with, but it was the quickest thing she could cast and still reliably get off before Ultima. Besides, she wasn't actually trying to hurt him, just break his concentration long enough to prevent something really bad from happening.
