The Enlightenment spell settles over Sephiroth as he takes the first two steps with his back turned, paused only as the rumble to the ground was registered as he fixed his gaze on the view of their arrangement of forces before him. He breathed in slowly-
SOLDIER's combat-mode was initiated, and before that initial charged feeling of mako-like energy recedes he'd broken into a full sprint back to the front lines of his own platoon. Using the momentum as he went along to roughly pull his own sword from it's harnessed sheathe.
"PREPARE TO ENGAGE-!"
If nothing else, the way that those troops nearest him would react in taking battle stances and locking weapons in ready positions would give a clear enough signal to those others around, and in the air.
