Yu let out a faint noise as he stood up, shaking the water from him... only to get pecked at. This really wasn't their day apparently, but Yukiko seemed to have it under control. Unfortunately, with all the fire and flying things, the people trapped on the fountain could end up as collateral damage.

He swung his sword up toward a spot where there was nothing but rope and fountain stone, cutting through the rope easily enough.

"Hurry, get to safety!" he cried, reaching up to help those that couldn't get down without help.
