[Thankfully Sephiroth was already well back from the space they had conversed with Palitutu by the time the Magitek Ray tore up the muddy earth behind him. Perhaps it was down to the heightened perception but he could have sworn he felt the rush of heat at his back. No time to check if he'd gotten any singed hair, though-
He dug boots in deeper to the mud as the troops around and behind him opened fire with an array of assorted magic attacks, while the front line of warrior-types stepped up with their swords. There was a definite sense, though, of reasonable anxiety; just how were ground troops supposed to engage something this damn huge!
First things first, ShinRa Guard was cast over himself, perhaps selfishly but there were healer-type soldiers behind who would do their best to keep the other soldiers protected and/or healed up. He certainly couldn't afford to spend this whole fight concerning himself with his troops - they all knew the risks just as well as he did.
As Kidd's airship swooped low, Sephiroth made a leap for the rope ladder and hauled his right-side up against the one side. Others would be able to ascend passed him but Sephiroth in the meantime was eyeing up the closest arm to their position.]
Take us up! Get above it!
[In the meantime, he conjured Deathblow; Masamune and most of his left arm holding started to generate a wavy field, not quite colored but the gathered energy there waiting for the next -first- attack to be executed.]
