That last part was aimed at that group of military personnel.
"...*sigh*...it's obvious that Cocancer is uncomfortable with some of the things that have been placed here while it's been sleeping. We need Cocancer to not make any sudden moves and stay calm, we need to keep as many people as we can calm, and above all, the League needs to work together with Cocancer to fix this mess before it becomes any worse. The facility may need to be abandoned. I can't make that call, obviously, but I sure can try and spread the word to stay. Calm. The more everyone panics, the more danger everyone will be in!"
Nathan's just about ready to run off and check on other groups to make sure they're not gearing up for battle, because that would certainly do more than mildly annoy Cocancer, but then he has an idea. "Wait, I think I know exactly who can make that call..."  Nathan pulls out his pokedex and dials Achilles's phone number. Hopefully the Gym Leader tasked with protecting this region isn't too busy right now to pick up the phone...
"You Kyruem damn well know what I mean! We don't NEED or feel obliged to do anything here, except escape Nate! I've told this to Terra, and I'll tell it to you, but your noble attitude isn't needed right now! Focus on getting yourself and our friends to safety first, and THEN indulge in heroics IF it doesn't put yourself in harms way!!"
When it becomes abundantly clear that his vitrolic friend was not going to heed his sound advice and instead foolishly continue to be a self sacrificing hero, he let out a downright nasty snarl and shook his head like a Mightyenna tearing meat from a bone before turning away.
"Fine, you absolute stubborn hard head . Don't listen to me. Continue to put yourself at unnecessary grave risk for people not worth it in the slightest over the concerns of your friends, Pokemon, and family. See what comes of such a stupid, foolish, and blindly suicidal path.  That is your decision, not mine. I'm getting off this island with everyone I care about if I can, with or without you. If you want to be a hero, d o i t b y y o u r s e l f ."
His tone is hot and scathing like Inferno Fire as he turns and storms off back towards Shiva and Terra, not waiting to hear any rebuttal or rationalizations from. He tried to get them to go, but they refused, so let him be a such a overreaching and reckless child! They have Dug their grave, but they're not making him share it with him!
Once he rejoins his love and their bodyguard, he rather bluntly tells them "We need to leave. Now. Before this creature does anything that could get us maimed or killed. *Notices the Frozen Roar* If you wish to continue trying to placate and negotiate with this crab, you can do so airborne on one of your Flying Pokemon above and out of its reach with that pseudo-Artifact. Let's go."
Ven summons Lucifer with a flick of his wrist, and with a few words they'd be ready FLY off the TITANIC COCANCER. For a moment, though, he waits for his dearest and the sagely monk to respond. The later looks pained and frustrated by their decision but does not protest, but the former.......well, we'll find out, won't we?
