Jeff took caution the second Mikey was able to get past Oz's gravity and jump past all the wind scythes that came after him, and it only got worse when the water began to weigh him down and Mikey proceeded to use the chance to try and hit him with what Mikey considered to be his version of Jenso's flame dragon punch. Doing his best to react to the situation, Jeff managed to stop 3 of the wind scythes from colliding into each other and had two redirect to follow Mikey's trail attempting to catch up with him while the third paused and waited. 

One thing for sure Jeff didn't want to be in range of this upcoming attack and he had to get out of range now. Part of him considered that his might be a setup of some kind which could potentially be a trap, but for the moment he didn't have many options. As, Mikey closed in Jeff built up the wind around him and released it in a sudden burst knocking off the worst of the water gathered off of him allowing a moment to wind jump at full speed onto the ceiling where he armed his grapple gauntlet and grabbed hold of the ceiling to remain up there without the use of sage flight.

The third wind scythe then boosted off ready to intercept Mikey on the chance that he would try to follow the wind sage to the top of the room.
