Cloud was honestly a little surprised that after his waves of attacks that none of the knights had turned his way. He was dismayed that Ramza's own attack was halted, but at least he hadn't sacrificed himself needlessly either. And as he heard Chiaki call out about the number over Arthur's head he was glad for it. He may have disarmed himself but that didn't mean he was out of the fight.

"Ramza, I'll be right back." He called out. Feeling invigorated by the Curaga cast at him he ran forward into the oncoming Dragon's Breath, leaping into the flames. "SURTR! LET'S GO!"

The flames raged for a moment, and then a hotrod red and flame detailed magitek armor came running back out of the conflagration, leveling a Smash Attack into Arthur's side.
