Jason "Phoenix" Diabolus | Squad Sigma Pilot
Jason's blood ran cold when he heard the sergeant's reply to their request on the status of the infiltration team. She said they were in deep shit, and the boy barely knew what that meant. All he knew is that Serah was likely in danger, and dammit he was not losing anybody else. Not again. He needed to get inside, but first, his gaze zeroed in on the mist before him. That little bastard had more than annoyed him plenty at this point. Settling into a silent state, the boy decided to focus first on this new enemy. He loaded another shot into the railgun, once more explosive and aiming for the mist's core. However, he let this one charge as he brought the ATS system to bear on the crystal shard.
"Alright, Ribasu. Let's track that crystal. Fire when we have an opening." He said, as he triggered the system to do exactly that. Already the boy was planning his next moves, once the mist was down he would remove the shards, then focus his shields to the front of his unit. After that, board that station and blow every Cruxi bastard between him and the infiltration team to hell. Simple. He just had to worry about not getting overrun, but that wasn't an option to him right now. If Serah was in danger... he had to help her. He couldn't lose her, not after losing everybody else he ever cared about.
God dammit, why couldn't there be a charge and firing solution sooner? The boy grew more frustrated as he sat there, anxious to get in there and help his girlfriend. Worrying for his safety, Jason bit his lip as he debated something for a few moments.
"Fuck it." He said to himself, leaning forward and opening up a direct channel to Serah. He would wait silently for a few moments before speaking quickly.
"Serah, I don't know if you're hearing this, I'll keep it short. Sarge says you're in trouble, just... say something to let me know you're alright. I'll leave the line open." He said quickly, then muted his end. Hopefully, she would hear, and tell him she was alright. At that moment, he heard a slight chime as ATS found a possible firing solution, and the railgun met the medium charge he had set it for.
"Let's hope this hurts, eh Ribasu?" He said quickly, then fired the shot. A bright flash, followed by a vicious rumble through his frame was the only sign the weapon had fired. Seconds later Jason saw a streak of light heading towards the mist, hopefully, to detonate from the center of the weapon. Meanwhile, he would slowly set to work at removing the shards, hoping they hadn't hit anything important. At that point, Jason heard Serah's voice, not talking to him but worrying about losing everybody again. He swore, before opening comms to the sergeant again.
"Sarge! Something's up with infiltration team." He said before opening a private channel with the sergeant instead of broadcasting to the whole unit.
"Serah's comms, I can hear her asking her frame to stop and saying she doesn't want to lose everybody again. We need to get in there now. The boy said as he continued to remove the crystals from his unit, and wondering why it was so slow.
TL:DR;
** Fired at Center of the Mist, using ATS (Targeting system thingy) to track the crystal shard and hopefully avoid it. Medium power explosive shot.
** Sent message to Serah, left line open. Waiting to hear back.
** Starting to remove shards.
