[center] [h2] [color=00aeef]Gaius Secondus [/color][/h2] [/center] They were running out of time. Gaius was acutely aware of that. While he fought, he came up with a desperate idea. He prioritized: first priority was keeping Red and Ponyboy safe. Second was to make sure that Malboro died. Third was to get to Smiles and give her a piece of his mind for causing this mess. Oh, and make sure he somehow survived this too. He had a plan, but he needed to distract Malboro first. His opportunity came when a Mire popped up out of nowhere and brave Syrena tried to use an axe. [i]I admire your spirit, but leave the warrioring to the warriors.[/i] He thought grimly. While Malboro's attention was elsewhere, Gaius dropped his sword and dashed to where Syrena was lying on the floor. He scooped her up and uncerimonaly threw her on the pegasus. "There is no time!" He shouted, Get [b]going![/b] With that last word he slapped the poor pegusus on the rear with his tome, probably giving it a small shock too. This startled the pegasus into rearing, then charging forward and soaring off the building, taking flight. This left Gaius with the madman. "Oh yeah, great plan." He muttered "Now what?" He backed away slowly. He might have been able to take the man, but by the time he did the fire would kill them both. Besides he had dropped his sword and it was to far away to easily reclaim. Then he had an idea. A stupid, reckless, suicidal idea. Forget the fire, the smoke would kill him first, but if it didn't, Malboro would. Even if Gaius managed to overpower Malboro, then the fire would still kill them both. So Gaius...well, he kinda jumped off of the building. He turned, took a running start, and jumped. "This is gonna hurt!" He yelled.
