The former imperial knight hers the words that escaped Ira's mouth. That's not Ramza.. He did hear it clearly. That only made things worse. So Kalki was going as far as possessing other people for her plan? He somehow had lost all mercy he had for her. None of this sat well with Yuri. He knew that whatever came from this wasn't going to be a good thing. At least, he understood and heard what the silver haired boy had to say. Yuri saw the young man fall into the pit and he even tried to grab the other but he didn't make it. Neither did Selphie. She watched him fall into the Abyss and Yuri could only close his eyes as he watched the other's form disappear into the darkness. He didn't make any move to jump but Selphie's voice made him turn to her briefly, "Yeah, I know. I'm not about to do that right now."
Not after what he saw happened to Jaune. Following Selphie's response, his ears rung from the ordering tone of his favourite Princess. Oh jeez, could they all just give him a break. He didn't exactly jump in now did he?
"Right, I forgot we had something like that and hey no need to shout at me. I wasn't going to actually jump in."
He replied with a big sigh, "Alright ladies, let's get this thing going then. Grab whoever you can and get out! I'm going to go help with the stragglers. "
As soon as he said that he watched a fellow ally run straight for Ramza. Seriously?
"We aren't going to kill anyone. We had to stop Kalki and that was the only way, and now she's refusing to stay dead. We're short on resources. There's no way we'd be able to take her down right at this moment," Yuri replied as Chrom started to speak. He may not know the other but he had seen his face around a lot and he sort of deducted from the other's response what kind of person he was. Yuri wasn't going to repeat the past mistakes. He was trying to so hard, yet things were still not working out.
"Hold it!"
Yuri shouted at him before making a break for Chrom. They had to get out pronto, "We can't fight right now! Did you not hear what I said? You'll be dead before you could land a hit!"
"Sunshine cover me!"
He ran at Chrom who was facing Ramza in order to make sure the boy wasn't going to get himself killed. Yuri was a reckless and he understood Chrom's thoughts but they couldn't die here. He couldn't die and Chrom definitely wasn't.
Chrom didn't have time to argue. What could he say? How could he explain the bond between himself and the others who had agreed to fight together as a unit? Perhaps they hadn't as much time to grow as cohesive as his Shepherds in Ylisse, but they were still his responsibility.
He could not leave a single one of them behind. "Stop worrying about me, and see to the others!" he growled between clenched teeth as Ramzki once more vanished and reappeared beyond his reach, toying with the young lord. "We're not leaving a single person behind, possessed or not! GO!"
"Look it's not like I don't get where you're coming from but we don't have any way of subduing him! She possessed him but he's still alive. There's a chance we can get him back, so listen to the guy that's usually diving into dangerous situations head first for once!"
Yuri snapped at Chrom as he finally made it over the other with huge strides. He didn't have time to watch another Hero die.
"Let me remind you that you're also one of the others. Don't make this difficult."
Chrom could barely spare one glance at Yuri as he approached. "Shut up and help me then, man!" Would that he knew Yuri's name, he might have used it instead of ordering him the way he might an unfamiliar troop. But what could he do? What spell or ability was at his disposal that might possibly make a difference?
Chrom stopped with his feet spread wide, grimacing as he drew upon the power of Soul Eater. It would devour some of his own life force, but it might slow Ramzki down long enough to get in one good blow to the side of the head...
"Sorry pal, but I don't have a death wish and you sure as hell won't be harboring any death wishes either."
This was becoming really annoying. This guy was stubborn and he couldn't really blame him. Whoever this Ramza is, he must be important enough for Chrom to lose his shit over. Well, Yuri would have too if it was one of his friends but it was beside the point. There was no more time for negotiations.
He flipped the handle of his sword up and stood directly behind Chrom after he was distracted by casting Soul Eater.
"Blame me later but I-- we don't have time to lose another able and functional ally," without warning, Yuri used all the force he could muster and struck Chrom's pressure point with the hilt of his sword in hopes of knocking the guy out fast.
"Nngh--!" Chrom's eyes flinched wide with the force of the blow, before rolling up into his eyelids. The nobleman slumped loosely to the ground in a heap of clinking crystal and armor fastenings, Falchion clattering to the crumbling platform from out of his nerveless gloved fingers.
Yuri truly felt bad for this but he knew better than anyone that fighting right now was suicide. He didn't want Chrom to die in vain. As soon as the man collapsed, Yuri sheathed the other's sword back in its place along with his own. Quickly, he hoisted the unconscious Prince over his shoulders in a piggy back manner and made a run for the Enterprise. He'd still hope that Selphie was covering on his tread back as well. Yuri heard another voice but it wasn't like he could stop Barkeep right now. He was one person.
