Ishtar wasn't much help but if she could keep Terra at bay, things would end in their favour hopefully. She could only count on Cloud to handle this right now. Most of her allies were down and she was one of the few standing. Ishtar wasn't used to fighting and support was her forte, yet right now, she had to fight. She's not going to let herself be taken down easily. Ishtar made sure that she was locking gaze with Terra to tell her who her opponent was. Ishtar would rather not have Cloud get hit too. She had to steer the other away from the two men fighting.

"I'm not intending to escape. Even if I die, there will still be someone to stop you and Sephiroth!"

She bit back. She was not going to run away. Not that this time. She had to fight. Ishtar could only use what she had against the other and that was limited. Her fighting class lacked any sort of immunity to magic but switching classes right now wasn't a choice either. She was going to have to use her sword to hold off as much of the attack as possible. Ishtar let her sword glow with some power, before slashing it towards the other as she came jumping at Ishtar.

At the same time, she was trying to pay attention to where the fighting was going with the other two, but it was hard when she had a mad Esper coming at her.
