"I don't need your permission, kid," Jack said, putting his stone platform between him and his assailant before launching himself backwards and the stone forwards, aiming it towards the man's gut. Jack landed upside-down on his cane before flipping himself the rest of the way over, making sure his cane and good leg hit the ground before his bad one did. Jack then let the storm of glass pull itself together into a spear, one which was pointed directly at the back of his current opponent, "This is fun...It's been a while since I've broken a sweat in a fight. You kids are tougher than ya' look, I'll give you that."<br/><br/>Despite his bravado, Jack was a lot worse off than he seemed. He was open from behind, and with his extra earth still having yet to arrive, he couldn't fight all out. If he could get this battle on the surface...No, that was too risky, even though there would be nearly infinite earth up there, he still risked their escape. For now, his best chance was to fall back, use the glass in the lights to attack until the crates of stone and the sandbags arrived from the lift. All that was left to him now was the stone slab and glass spear that were flying toward the more reasonable bloodbender. If things got too risky, he could always use the granite in his cane...But that was a last resort.
