"Jade!"

Zelda flew a little closer before letting her loftwing hover in the air. It's really easy for her to dodge atop the quickbird but she worried about the others. The loftwings long beak cawed loudly right after Zelda shouted her friends name.

"Are you alright? I'm going to head higher and see if I can see anything more."

She also wanted to check on the other groups and see who needed reinforcements. They also had the matter of Cloud to think of and Zelda was getting increasingly worried about the hero who currently seemed possessed, no doubt by the black crystal. Then she wondered where those moogles went.

The Moogle tried swinging his staff at Ashelia before looking back at Jade and Sephiroth. Sephiroth was nowhere to be seen, but Jade was still there and so the Moogle rose his staff for a final blow--

But before he could strike Jade, the airship caught his attention, saving Jade and Ashe from further attacks, for now.

Ashelia deftly avoided the staff - really, unless the King had more tricks up his sleeve or the young Queen fell asleep in the air, there was no way he would actually be able to strike her. Pride is an insidious killer, Ashe...

Seeing the King's attention taken by Ales' ship, Ashelia took only a moment to look down at Jade and Sephiroth to make sure they weren't crushed before zooming off to help the Teensie prepare for the coming assault. She was no longer a Red Mage, after all - she couldn't heal them if she wanted to.

Talk about a close call... Now that he was alone, Jade's chances of survival weren't quite as high. He considered, for a moment, whether he should retreat.

No, not just yet. It would be no good if the Moogle took out the airship. If Jade had to stay in harm's way to prevent that, so be it. Decision made, he used the moment of distraction to change his position, running out of the alleyway and behind the Moogle, where it at least couldn't retaliate quickly. Just close enough for his magic to reach.

Time to finish what he'd started. After using Focus to enhance the intensity of his spells, Jade cast another Firaga on one of the half-melted feet.

The new attack was on the verge of catching the attention of the wicked king once again-- But soon, he took to the sky. With this, his melted feet no longer were an issue, and he got out of range for Jade.

But at least, Jade made it out alive of this fight.
