The staring contest had quickly broke when a whip-like structure shot out of the shadow beast's body and whiplashed its way towards Dark. But with a mere tilt of his body he was able to avoid it and watch the tentacle flail and retract back into the monster's body. That was it?..

"Well, it looks like I'm not the only one having fun. That's good. But you said that Miki is having her body taken over?" He thought about it. It reminded him of the time when she followed him to Hell, or rather everyone was pulled but he was teamed up with her. He encountered an alter personality of Miki and was wondering if that was the same thing that was happening. What did he do last time? I believe I knocked her out..

The ground tore beneath him, drawing his attention. Like living roots of a tree several tendrils of darkness flailed and surrounded him in seconds, reaching over towards the sky before slowly bending towards the center - where he was. "Oh s**t.."

The tentacles cast a dense shade around him and before he knew it they hailed upon him. "I'm counting on you Freakhand!" Dark yelled, falling back on his own shadow within the shadow while accumulating the aura around him for protection if Haiden failed to help him.

Without mercy the spear-shaped javelins pierced and broke through the ground.
