The Centurion was briefly entranced by the hooded man's words. But the sound of battle quickly came to his ears. [color=f26522]"Forgive me, merchant,"[/color] He said, despite the fact that the hooded being did not identify as such. It was not malicious, but it was probably inconsiderate.

[color=f26522]"There is battle afoot. I will ask you my pressing questions later. Right now, there is a more immediate concern! Stay safe, brave peddler."[/color] The Centurion quickled scanned the developing skirmish. Bowser was in trouble, in danger of being overwhelmed. Blazermate and Micheal had yet to counter attack, but then again, the Centurion had only just turned around. By the time he will get there, they will most likely have begun fighting if they were worth their salt. However, he saw in the back, turtlemen were using teamwork to launch themselves into battle. That was where he would strike. Directly into their flank, he would churn his way through the ranged attackers like a knife through butter. Then, he would join his comrades in the fight against the assault mushroom creatures. First, however, he needed to eliminate the enemies who were staying away from the frontline. Truly, there were few things more satisfying than eliminating an enemies reinforcements before they had a chance to enter battle. 

He looked down at Tora. [color=f26522]"Tora! Our allies need our help! Quickly! I say we attack those infernal ranged turtlemen!"[/color] The Centurion than began sprinting forth, making good time towards the Koopas. His boots pounded across the dirt, his arms and legs pumping with fervor. Yes, he felt it in his bones, down to his core. This fight was righteous!

Once within range, the Centurion leapt high into the hair, his Gladius raised for a powerful forward thrust. [color=f26522]"In[i]FIR[/i]mus!"[/color] He cried out, slamming the Gladius as hard as he could into the nearest Koopa's neck. He removed his Gladius by crouching and uppercutting the Koopa in the race, removing his Gladius from it. Using the momentum of the punch, he span around, gripped his Gladius by the blade with his free hand and precisely guided the tip of the sword into the forehead of the next Koopa.

The Centurion was attempting to cut a bloody swathe through the enemys back line, allowing his allies to deal with their opponents without interruption.
