Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jace understood what Red was telling him almost instantly. He was plan A and She was plan B. Jace was to shoot at the underbelly and if that failed to kill it Red would already be on the way to destroy the brain.

Red must have seen the traces of disbelief in his eyes, the ones he was trying to dismiss, because she offered him some words of encouragement. And then to Jaces surprise Red looked into his eyes with a hungry stare biting her lip and looking at his own. It caused his skin to raise in goosebumps slightly and he swallowed nervously. Then she was gone already upon the beast almost in the blink of an eye. And then both left his sight as the wurm dragged Red with it into the pyramid. "Yeah I got this." Words spoken in a delayed reaction to the previous encouragement. Although he was thoroughly confused by his captains new appearance and behavior, but he brushed it to the back of his mind, focusing instead on a plan to do the most damage he possibly could.

He waited and waited his intense focus dragging out every second until finally the Wurm kept up from the sands aiming at the back end he level led the pistol in his right hand, leaving the left down to improve his aim further. He fired the remainder of the rounds into the creature allowing the recoil to carry his aim to the next spot, higher on the body aiming carefully for the soft undersides. Also takin great care not to hit Red. As the Wurm put on its display of acrobatics Jace dropped the empty mag from his right lowering it back to his side and raised his left repeating the same process from a point above Red all the way to the tail. Every round would hit But Jace was unsure if something vital would be struck he hoped it would however.

He then dropped the Mag of his left pistol Just as the creature Went back into the sands he grabbed a mag with each hand Remembering a diddly he had read in a gunslinger book, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Keeping that in mind as he said it he calmly slapped a magazine into each pistol and thumbed the slide releases, prepared for the creature to reappear.

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting Jace was concerned the wurm may have left the area along with Red. But then the creature suddenly leapt out of the black sands splitting into two. Jace could see from the corner of his eye that one crashed to the ground dead with Red walking casually out of the beasts mouth.

He had no time to actually process it was dead however as his attentions were consumed with the threat directly in front of him. The other one coming straight for him green maw agape as it intended to swallow him whole. Where Jace may have once seen death he now saw nothing but opportunity. He raised both his pistols a smile splitting his face from ear to ear.

He began to fire with the intent to empty every round straight into the beasts open mouth, a fleshy weak spot impossible to miss. Recognizing the length of the creature he recognized the potential for damage and his dire need to capitalize upon it after each clip was half empty, so from then on every round was charged with energy, this time improvement on piercing power his priority.

Jace stood still upon the black pyramid, unsure of what to do after the creature disappeared. The sudden silence made Jaces racing heart especially loud in his ears and could feel it pulsing in his veins. He dared only turn his head to look for any sign of the thing. It was an oppressive silence, the calm before the storm.

As he was searching he saw a bright flame from the corner of his eye and turned his head to see his captain. She was covered in gore and saliva and looked none too happy about it. A small smile cracked his lips. It was refreshing to see somebody else covered in filth instead of him for a change, he would have considered a joke if he wasn't so worried about the situation. For the moment his thoughts turned to the flare, what could she be up to? What good could that do them at this point?

A cloud is dust obscured his vision as the wurm began to move again. Lost in the cloud of black dust Jaces stomach suddenly jumped up to his throat, once he knew the reason why it was already too late for him to react. If he tried any escapism with his element, he risked dashing himself against falling debris and being the cause of his own death.

Instead he used wind to provide a cushion under his feet and above his head. That way he wouldn't be hurt from the fall or from anything falling on his head. However he was soon trapped beneath the rubble with only his head protruding. Luckily however the rumblings had ceased. "Well isn't this just some ******** bullshit." He spoke loudly from frustration at being so blind, and truth be told he had no idea even how deep he was or if he was right side up.

The next moments were unbearably long, Jace was robbed of his sight in silence, with no freedom to move. It was almost as if the only proof of his own existence was the stinging all over his body. As the adrenaline faded it became ever more present and noticeable.

It wasn't long however, before the rubble began to shift over his head. He could hear Red telling him to take her hand. He hesitated for a moment, wondering how he could possibly find it in the dark, but he simply reached out into the dark, waving his hand about, probing the inky depths for hers. After a short time their hands met, and no sooner had Jace closed his grip that Red yanked him free of the Rubble.

Pain shot through Jaces body, and his face contorted to a grimace beneath the mask and he gave a quiet grunt that had a hint of whimper. His back had been rubbed raw against the pyramid surface and his chest and torso had small cuts all over from the wurms body that had pinned him down. "Well, I had a wonderful time, how about you?" He wasn't even sure if he was facing her or not now that he was on his own two feet.

Jace simply laughed at Reds reply, it was cut short though when Red said lets go. He looked around a bit as if it would help him aTt all. He had no idea which way to go.

Then red suddenly hoisted him up, telling him she would take him to the clinic. He thought to protest but then he realized as Red probably had that this was the fastest solution. Not to mention he had done the exact same thing earlier, and she had no protests, He decided it would do nothing but make him look childish. However he couldn't let the opportunity pass without a Joke. "My Hero." Jace gave his best damsel in distress impersonation. And then they weret off, it wasnt the gentlest of rides and it made Jaces wounds sting, but he kept the straightest face he could. "I guess what goes around comes around." He spoke quietly, referring to how he had carried her earlier.
