The question of where Guardian had come from would have to wait for another time. After all, this was no time for questions, and now that he'd had to suffer Emizel's attempts at attacking him twice, Ansem wasted no time in offering the slightest of nods to his Guardian. Oh, he could have attacked on his own, but it was quite simply more convenient to do things this way.

No sooner had he finished nodding then Guardian itself moved forward, faster than something that looking like an animate shadow perhaps had any right to, as its hands reached out to grab Emizel.
