*THUD* Arx lay face first in a mound of sand. His Geo Driver had deactivated as soon as he stepped into the strange portal he found in that pit. Groggily, he rolled onto his back and opened his eyes, and a bright light shone down upon him. He could hear the roaring and crashing of waves near him, he was obviously on a beach of some sort. He thought for a moment, because frankly none of this added up. He descended int the crevice and began digging...and it didn't work. Then, that giant rock monster had attacked him, and after a bit of a scuffle, Arx had managed to kill it, or break it, or maybe a mixture of both. Arx put all of his geological knowledge into overdrive until the realization hit him like a heavy spark. He sat up straight and scurried to his feet. This all vaguely matched the writings of a book he had read in grade school. Arx clapped his hands to the side of his face. "Oh my god...I'M IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!"
