In his bat form, Jordan could not respond- his voice box could not allow him to, and changing any part of his body to that of a human would simply impede him. In that time of the day, Jordan was unable to enter his beast form- not to mention, he hadn't tasted any blood recently. Out of options, Jordan was only capable of flying even further.

Jordan was clearly out-classed, but he didn't wish to give up the fight as his opponent wished for. Jordan was far too stubborn. Though his blood was cold and his senses faded from undeath, Jordan was capable of feeling the intense heat his opponent was giving off. He had to fly further away- use the environment somehow.

The tiger statues! Jordan realized that there must have been enough shade there- plus it was just large enough to hide. Releasing his call, Jordan located the statues and began flying toward the one closer to the east.
