Zidane fell back and cringed when he saw the lightning coming for him (of course he knew something was going to get him, but -) and he looked round quickly to find an escape. All his choices seemed bad -

He braced himself for the strike, only to see seconds later seeing the yellow sphere, blinking at it. The lightning attack ebbed around him and he straightened, tossing his head back to the man with the staff and figuring he'd ask questions after he fled himself out of the creature's reach - hopefully.

"Then how the hell are we supposed to defeat it?!" he snapped back towards the man, keeping his eyes on the creature at all times.
