[All Cloud could do was watch the chaos unfold around him, and pinned as he was, railing against everything, screaming inwardly and outwardly as he struggled against the Ponies' magical pressure. He wanted to act. With everyone being hurt and dying and all because of the Heroes he couldn't bear to just lay there and be forced to watch. This had to be ended, for everyone's sakes.
When the pressure did break he almost didn't notice at first, but by the time he pushed himself back to his knees the effect was dropped on Rialynn as well. Her cry cuts through the din, sending a cold shiver through him. He'd been used as a puppet before. His friends had been used as puppets. He knew what she was feeling, maybe not the physical pain, but that horrific bloom of horror in her gut at everything she'd been forced to do.
They had to get back at whoever did this, and they had to make amends to the people of the city. They had to do...something for Zelda. But he couldn't let anyone continue to hurt her any more than they had. This couldn't break out into them murdering themselves. Not any more than whoever was behind this had forced them. The moment they started doing it to themselves that was it.
Stumbling, he ran forward, trying to put himself between Rialynn and the others.]
Everyone stop! It's let her go!
[It was foolish. He knew it was foolish. Here he was protecting a 'murderer' and getting in everyone's way. But it was the right thing to do, wasn't it. Gritting his teeth, he raised his shield. If someone was still going to loose an attack it'd have to go through him first.]
