Jane's neck snapped up so fast you could almost hear his bones snapping into place. "Oh no you don't!" he snapped. "Get your candy ass back over here and FIGHT LIKE A MAN!" That said, he slashed through a small group of tarbeasts in order to clear a path. As he charged forward, through the rising tide, he sheathed his sword again. The black sludge that had accumulated on his blade slithered uncomfortably off the weapon and poured in a sickly slime onto the street behind Jane as he ran. As he ran, Jane held his hands out in front of him and pulled out his rocket launcher. He didn't really pull it out [i]of[/i] anywhere in particular, it just sort of appeared in his hands. He aimed it at the ground again and fired, propelling himself through the air. The explosion had no effect on really anything except him. It propelled him high into the sky, leaving the slime monsters completely unharmed and leaving nothing more than a scorch mark on the pavement.

Jane wasn't very fast on the best of days, but he knew a thing or two about aerial motion. He pulled the ripcord at the arc of his jump and twisted, soaring to the left, towards the alley. He grinned as he approached, and then, at just the right moment, he aimed his rocket launcher at the wall next to him. He fired at the wall, which propelled him away from the wall of that building, deeper into the alley. As he approached the other wall, he swung his feet up and fired his rocket launcher at that one, sending him ricocheting down the alley like a pinball. He pulled the same trick a third time, the soles of his shoes leaving a trail of smoke and flame behind him, before finally dropping his rocket launcher and pulling out his sword.

"Surf's up, maggot!"

With that, his parachute sucked itself back into its pack, sending Jane careening forward and down. At just the right moment, he swung his sword down in a vicious arc, directly at the neck of the Lord of Lies.
