Noctis had been searching the streets for people - whether or not he recognized them - in need of help. It's the only thing he could think of to do. And what was he always told? Show people the sort of person he was through his actions? If he wanted to prove to everyone the Voidtreckers weren't here to hurt people - helping them would go a long way towards that.
He wasn't expecting to see Madoka cornered in an alleyway - he felt his heart freeze. They might not really be cousins, be family. But she's still his friend. And no matter what - if it was Madoka, or even Iris or Lunafreya back home - if his friends needed his help, he'd do whatever he could to save them.
And just like in those situations, instead of checking with his other teammates - he simply reacted as if it was his duty to save her alone.
"Madoka!" Noctis shouted, and warped forward, coming in between the creature and Madoka. That's nothing she hadn't seen before. But - what she wasn't probably expecting was him using a power he'd never had in the illusion. From apparent thin air with magic crackle, the Shield of the Just appeared in his hand, blocking the monster's claws from raking down on them both.
