<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Tightens my grip*

But think of how useful it'd be! No more situations like this, or less of them anyway!

@Caldizar

How would we have avoided this?

@Fractured

I did say less of them!

*Summons a fireball in my other hand that I send spiraling downwards into the beast's belly*

*Its thick flesh absorbs the fire without as much as a scorch*
Do you need something to stand on?

*Opens another portal, one meant for travel this time, and strides through to arrive in a barren wasteland*

Ironic that a man so determined on betraying those he once fought alongside would choose their home as the location of his grave.

*The portal closes behind me as I survey the broken landscape. A great pressure radiates in the distance, although one stands out more than the rest, almost arrogantly so*

Even now you fail to learn humility...

*Dashes forward, the devastated remnants of several towns passing by in a blur beneath my feet*

Such arrogance will be your undoing.

@Fractured

No, I think I can manage to summon something.

*With a wave of my hand a platform of the most intricate latticework is created, and I step onto it*

@Caldizar

We could always leave the way we came and dig our way back down.

@Fractured

True. Although I think we should consult our new friend-

*Gestures to Alna*

-before making any decisions on the matter.

@Fractured

*Closes portal*
Or we could teleport down, although that may be equally dangerous

@Dark Cloud

That runs the risk of stepping right into a trap, or worse.

@Fractured

What do we gain by staying here?

[DELETED jdl3932]

*I arrive at the location and, taking note of my true target, draw my blade to execute a series of rapid slashes before landing on the other side*

You know for someone with so much power...

*Rises to my full height, my blade held off to the side*

You're quite slow Aizen.

@Caldizar

*Shrugs*
If this has eaten any loot, we'd find that.

@Fractured

But that requires we go down there and potentially risk being digested for the sake of treasure that might also have been destroyed in this creature's gut.

*Walks out from behind you*
Hiya! You're not going to beat him, just so you know.

*Nods*

You're right, I'm not. The kid is. I'm going to be the one who deals the final blow.

*Half an hour passed...*

*I look at the empty battlefield, breathing a deep hissing sigh as I fold my arms.*
Did they retreat Dynamo? I grow impatient...I must rip them asunder and destroy their very being...But if the cowards ran, where did they hide?

@Dark Cloud

*Notices Dynamo is gone*
Hmmm he will call, for now I'll see what the adjacent dimension has to offer.

Not disagreeing.

@ZAVAZggg

No, see, about that. You're... well, I'll let you figure it out. Maybe. Good luck!

@Fractured

*Peers down into the pit*

Still... nothing ventured nothing gained right?

*Dispels the platform and falls into the darkness*

@Threads of Fate

*Grunts before executing a half-turn to launch a barrage of cobalt colored Ceros back at Aizen, who dodges before ramming the pommel of his sword into my chest. Gasping, I find myself flying backwards into the nearest building, the ceiling of which collapses in on me*

Bastard...

*I push the rubble aside, having hardened my skin at the very last second, and get to my feet*
