James gets into position just as Sam comes running behind him, and the Templar rolls his eyes before he grabs the other man and firmly drags him behind him and Interceptor. Pointing to his mabari - "Guard Him."

He lifts his shield again as the wings swing out, and Interceptor knocks Sam to the side so both of them are out of the way of the blast. James takes the hit and goes flying onto his back, but the shield took most of the deadly force out of it. He rolls to his feet, and charges in again, while Interceptor acts as Sam's shield.
