As Stormcloud descended the stairs the sound of rushing water came to his ears. Some kind of underground river or something, Kartaikian thought. When he got to the bottom of the stairs he shouted over the sound of the river, "TACHEON!"

The long cavernous corridor was lit with the dim glow of thousands of illumining crystals, but even in their glittery phosphorescence Kartaikian couldn't see anyone. He did see something though, a strange dark purple haze that seemed to be seriously disrupting the matter around it. Out of curiosity, Kartaikian fired an arrow into the haze, surprised by the fact that the arrow neither hit anything nor came out the other side of the cloud. The indigo smoke had consumed the arrow completely, as it would likely do to anything else it touched.

Rather than risk going through it, he went into a small crevice and hoped that it would make for a sufficient detour around the annihilative roadblock. The crevice indeed branched out and seemed to lead somewhere, and Kartaikian did the best he could to navigate the lowly fluorescing maze. Suddenly he heard a strange noise, that which could only be a growl from some subterranean predator.

He soon exited the maze to find himself back in the main corridor, on the other side of the purple smog. Very closely nearby he heard another growl, coming from a nearby crevice. Kartaikian chased after the sound, into a large chamber. The first thing he saw was thousands of glimmering eyes staring at him. The creature stood maybe sixty feet tall, towering over six foot Stormcloud. It's large head was filled with eyes, and a massively copious orifice filled with razor sharp teeth and a pitch black rope of a tongue.

It stood on four limbs, which each had seven webbed and clawed digits, suggesting that the creature was not just subterranean but also aquatic. It's skin appeared slick, and was a bluish black color. Hanging from its mouth was its tongue, hanging from which was a man. Tacheon Alexander Black, his katana dangling from his closed fist, even though he appeared to be unconscious.

The creature dropped Tacheon on the ground, leaping to attack Kartaikian...
