Death by Imploding [Treasure Search / Complete]

[Kouji Sakuraba]

No sooner had he plucked the marble and had managed to get out a few choice swear words, the Breeder looked around as the room itself began shaking with an ominous-sounding rumble. “What did I get myself into…” he muttered with a groan as he looked around, trying to find a quick way out. he noticed that the rumbling sound had come from the fact that the entryway he’d taken mere moments earlier had seemingly caved in on itself, therefore leaving him in the middle of the place, stuck with the intimidating-looking statue and its leering face…

“Oh, shit, I don’t want to resort to that, but… do I even have a choice in the matter?!” he shouted to himself, quickly plucking out a particular containment unit and sending out his Abra, Casey. Once the half-asleep Psi ‘mon had appeared from the flash of red light, the room shook even more; another sign that he was pretty much fucked. “Casey! You know what to do! I know that your Teleporting is spot on; but this is kind of an emergency…!” he trailed off as the room gave another ominous shake, before the ceiling began to disintegrate and made an attempt to bury them in rubble!

“Let’s go! Teleport us out of here, now!” he added, before gesturing around him. the alarmed Abra then stretched out his finger and then waited for the Breeder to make contact—and no sooner had he done so the two had vanished with a loud popping noise.

No sooner had the Abra (and his companion) warped out of the previous room that held the grotesque-looking statue did it then suddenly collapse on itself—leaving nothing but a smoking pile of rubble in its wake. Kouji didn’t know where Casey would end up taking him; all he knew was that he had faith in his Psychic-type companion. As soon as the fuzzy feeling began to spread through his body, he then felt a popping sensation—before finally landing in what appeared to be a half-destroyed corridor.

“Whoa… ouch!” he yelped, suddenly throwing his hands out in order to be able to balance himself as he very nearly landed face-first on the ruined floor—while his Abra was levitating in mid-air several feet away. “Well, at least we didn’t end up in a poisonous room…” he muttered with a baleful look around the place; before quickly standing up and dusting off his hands; before going over to where Casey stood, waiting and just basically keeping himself afloat. “Come on, let’s go. Can’t find anything of worth in this corridor…” he said, squaring his shoulders and watching as his Abra followed closely behind him, hovering in mid-air while taking a quick shot at napping while he had the time.

Now that the two had progressed further down the corridor, the Breeder kept on stealing looks towards his sleeping Psychic-type companion, seemingly levitating in mid-air while still being able to keep up with him at that point. Kouji could only marvel in silent wonder at what his Casey was capable of, when he decided to try out a little theory: would his Abra still be able to keep up with him if he took a few detours left and right while searching through the Ruins? He then decided to put the little theory to test right away as he took a turn and his gaze fell upon a very long corridor full of open entryways. “Whoa… talk about creepily convenient,” he muttered to himself as he began poking through the rooms one by one.

He continued to watch his levitating, sleeping companion from out of the corner of his eye, and was rather surprised to see that he was keeping up despite the fact that he’d already taken a look at several of the rooms lining the hallway and was deliberately turning as fast as he could manage, trying to see if he would be able to throw off his companion. He then chuckled lightly and then hoped that his Abra would bear no ill will against him, before finally walking out of the second-to-the-last door and catching sight of an entryway he’d very nearly skimmed over due to his rather meticulous searching. Once he’d caught sight of it though, he then veered his attention towards the open, gaping hole and then clambered over what appeared to be fallen rubble before finally getting inside.

Of course, his companion Abra had floated over the rubble like it was nothing, and soon Kouji found himself in a room that played host to what appeared to be one of the biggest snake-like statues he’d ever seen in his life. “Whoa… huge-ass piece ‘a rock,” he muttered, looking it up and down and wondering—how was the artist able to get those things seemingly ‘floating’ around the snake’s neck to look like they were floating in mid-air? Nevertheless, his attention was caught by something glittering near one of the protrusions in the statue. “Ohh, a sparkly,” he began, slowly making his way across the room; Abra hot on his heels. Once he’d hopped on the dais and finally secured the marble—was it his imagination, or did the room begin to quake and rumble…?

“Oh, fuck.”
