Serena watches Rojo go airborne. She then turns to the two newest arrivals and asks of them, "Can either of you throw me up there like he did with Rojo?"
Salzar turns to face the boy from his two rooftops away. He seems to be waiting for him.

The Fatter Man shrugs.
"I'm sure we could try, Boss."
Sulik nods.
"Wit' a littal help from Vic, We and I sure we could do it..."
The leather-armoured man clutches his chest and shakes his head.
"Sorry, but I have heart problems..."
The fat man now identified as Vic and Sulik both bend and cup their hands together, waiting to fling Seven up.
Rojo arrives a few feet away from Salzar.
"How cliche..." the young boy comments, his fingers twitching eagerly.

"Thanks guys," Serena says before stepping up.
Salzar frowns. "It's cliche because it's been done over and over again--and thus proven to bare some sort of decent result. Unless you suggest we resume running--though I'm afraid that wouldn't get very far as I doubt you could really catch me."
Then, Salzar starts to grin, stretching his shoulders gently. "Besides, I wouldn't be a very practical hero if I didn't eventually stop the bad guys....."

The two men fling the girl high up into the air, aiming for the roofs.
Rojo laughs obnoxiously.
"Ha! You suffer from delusions! Can't you see from the narrative positions that we're the good guys?"

Serena goes zooming upwards, landing safely on the roof Rojo had, which is two rooftops away from their current position. She looks back down at them, "Thanks guys!" before turning and running off.
Salzar raises and eyebrow, then lets out a bark of laughter. "Don't try to delude me, fowl villain. Surely no good-hearted being, whether a foolish self-proclaimed hero or a real hero would be so ignorant and blatantly idiotic to join up with that mad demoness you seem to have an alliance with.
"I was ready to thank you for freeing me of the wretched sorceress last time, but you quite abruptly showed your true colors to me. No matter, I shall not be defeated so easily again. I shall destroy that woman, who imprisons abject souls in her body to feed off of and gain power from. Granted, I am not as strong as I once was, my body being condensed into the villainess's left hand, and having pieces of my very essence constantly ripped out to be her mealtime snack...but I was strong, and I am even more strong-willed than you can imagine, so I shan't go down easily.
"So, unkindly Sir, I suggest you prepare yourself, for I never go easy against a monster or the mad and villainous friends of monsters, and you shall surely be no exception." With a brave look in his eye, Salzar gets into a fighting position.

Rojo grins at Salzar's foolish attempts to convert him. Typical villian trick...he pulls out his pistol, which has changed slightly; it's much more sleek and deadly-looking now...He pulls the trigger.
...
"Damn! Outta ammo..."
He holsters the weapon and gets into a fighting stance too.
"Now I wish I'd put more points in Unarmed..."
Down below, Vic is suddenly taken from behind by two sets of hands; one pai is tough, leathery and grey, whilst the other two hands are burnt and the skin is peeling off.
The burnt hands close around his mouth and he is pulled back, then two figures step out: One is robed so you can see none of their actual form, apart from a large lump on their back, and the other is what looks to be a...zombie in a tattered Vault Jumpsuit.

Salzar snickers for a moment, seeing that the boy's only useful asset how just now been rendered useless. He cracks his knuckles. "Don't worry. Seeing that you're foolish enough to consort with that woman, death will be a much better alternative. To being turned into a miscellaneous body part, that is, when she tires of you and decides to show her true wretched form."
He doesn't waste anymore time with idle talk, leaping forward while Rojo quietly mutters to himself and launching a brigade of assaults.
Serena misses this new turn of events below with Rojo's new comrades. She might have stopped had she noticed, but she didn't. Instead, she makes the final leap to the building where the two males are fighting.

Rojo doesn't try to block, instead he dodges. Heh, at least he was well-placed in boosting his agility.
He grinned, thrusting a hand into his pocket and pulling out a yellow box.
"When in doubt, resort to drugs!"
On the box the word
MENTATS
Could be seen clearly, and Rojo popped one into his mouth, the packet now empty. He smiled evilly as he took a hit to the chest. Soon it would take effect...
Though Salzar's words of Seven unsettled him.

'I wonder what that does...?" Salzar briefly caught sight of the mentats as he brushed pass Rojo.
"Rojo!" Serena called, grinning. "sorry I took so long buddy, but I'm here to help."
Salzar flinches when he first sees her, then glares daggers her direction.
"Now Salzar..." she beckoned with her remaining hand. "You're clearly outnumbered. We have reenforcements on the ground. why not...play nice and just come back quietly."
"And be your loathsome hand? Never!"
"Exactly. It's MY hand!"
"Your hand, but my body!"

Rojo didn't turn as he heard Seven. He felt the Mentats taking effect. He felt his brainpower increase. His Perception was also heightened, making it easier for him to sense where things were going to go, this giving him better aim.
Suddenly the boy was fighting back furiously, predicting almost all of Salzar's moves.

Salzar's eyes widen, suddenly pummeled. Hit after hit makes connection, blows to Salzar's abdomen and head suddenly making it very difficult to concentrate and focus. In Rojo's heightened state, he'd realize that while attacks to Salzar's body are decently effective, attacks to the left hand would work the best.

Rojo quickly flicked a switch on his PiPboy 2000.
Suddenly, everything seemed to pause.
Since the left hand wasn't an option, he went for the left arm instead. He pulled back his arm and let it fly right at the left arm.

((Hey Rojo, did time unpause already, or are we still paused?))

((It doesn't Pause really, it just lets you target specific areas of the body, so I guess no))

((Oh, ok))
Suddenly, Salzar's hold on his "body" seems to fail him. But it's not at Rojo that he shoots the angry glares at. He looks past rojo, to where Serena is standing, watching, smiling silently as he falls.
