Kukuis hold on his small wooden form began to seriously loosen as Cera ran back into the cage to help more people. Once Cera had began to climb the stairs after jumping off a guards shoulder Kukui realized how close they where to the fire and, no longer able to hold up being bottled up in a small piece of wood, was immediately ejected when said piece of wood began to darken from the heat. Kukui sprawled onto the staircase, his shirt now catching flames, began to climb up the stairs in panic as bullets shot past him. 

Once outside a new dread creeped into him. There was water, right there ... and it was ocean water. [color=00a651][i]'But still!'[/i][/color] He thought as he felt the flames finally go through his shirt to his back, [color=00a651]"I'd rather drown then burn to death!!!"[/color] He exclaimed as he dove into the water.

His head momentarily rose above the water, [color=00a651]"Somebody! P-PLEASE HELP!!!" [/color]He yelled as he began to try and paddle himself up, desperately trying to garb onto anything around him as he felt the water drain his strength, feeling his body sink into the water.
