Jericho sighed and turned to go after the trio of examinees who were determined to save their instructor. While it was completely against their orders, SeeD didn't leave their own to the enemy, simply because it wasn't what they did. [i]I just hope someone's ta-[/i] His thought was interrupted by the sound of an explosion coming from one of the substations followed by the sounds of the building falling in on itself. The spectacle, at least the explosion, was pretty impressive. However, he didn't think the examinees were responsible. SeeDs used what they had, even though they might have been issued explosives.

"Impressive." Taking his eyes off the scene, Jericho takes off at a sprint after the trio, passing by the boy named Kein quickly and soon spotting the activating long range communications dish, causing him to hesitate and slow down. This...this wasn't good, but it was also confusing. No one could use them, they didn't work because of some kind interference. He wasn't sure what, he hadn't paid close attention to that part of class. Still, the head instructor needed to be informed. {James? Jericho. Galbadia just activated Dollet's long range communications dish.} Pausing, he listened to James response and sighed. Jericho hated when James yelled at him. {Look, tell the head instructor what's going on...No, I'm not off mission. Apparently the examinees' instructor got captured and taken up there...I know, I know, but my orders are to back them up. That's what I'm doing...Right, right, sure. Jericho out.} 

Turning off the comlink, he continues after the trio, catching up to them at the base of the tower. The red haired boy froze Eika in place, but Jericho didn't slow down, flipping over the frozen Eika and the casually stopped red haired young boy and slamming his scythe blade against the sword of one of the Galbadian troops. "Mission objective is to force these people into retreat. Why are you waiting?" Pushing off against the sword wielder, he engages in a furious attack, spinning and blocking and counter attacking.
