OOC: This is Vile's post since the server changes deleted it.

A lone latter. How unfortunate. One would ponder if the area flooded recently, but slow processors just made Rai ponder how deep this puddle went. He tugged twice on the chain and shortly after Stark came hovering down, staying above water.
"I.... don't notice anything around here, it appears we're going under." Rai said. He then disengaged the rod and plopped into the water. Perhaps not the smartest way to fall in, but running slow yoy don't think things through.

Rai quickly sank, bubbles clearly giving his position away if anything was near. Water engulfed and filled the cracked bits of armor. This.... was not well thoughtout even more so. Zanji left multiple tears through Rai, and while makeshift welding was a thing, it was a mastered art here.

The two hit solid ground, looking about there was a glow in the distance. With a gaze and a unison shrug the two walked towards it. It should be noted, water sucks. movement was restricted, and thus sluggish. However that was soon put to the test! The floor shot out from under them! Rai hopped back, feeling the movement slightly before it commenced, and drifted back farther than expected. Water effects and all. He looked up only to find blasts coming is way. No matter, it may have bounced off the floor but his shield could take it. He held up his arms and engaged his shields. ... or not. Nother happened. No energy, no electricity. ... a short circuit! The water that entered him must have his his electrical generator and temporarily disabled It. The blast clashed against Rai's arm, breaking bits of his forearm armor. The sheer force of this combinded with the energy disbursement knocked rai right on his ass.... then he rolled onto his chest. Today.... today was a bad day.

Having now been rocked by this horrible thing, options were limited. Not exactly something in the comfort zone. Options where what he always had! No matter! Magnetism still worked and perhaps this thing had enough steal to utilize it. Still laying low, Rai aimed with his good arm now, ol lefty, and let loose his chain rod for whatever it may do. well water isn't clear, nor dose slit. His shot missed, right under the eye. No matter, he recoiled it, hoping to shoot himself but rather a platform emerged from it, covering the spikes. If he held it in place, Stark could get in, or if stark distracted it rai could.... hopefully. Either way it opened options.
"Stark, can you hear me through the water?" Rai called on the com link. "I found a platform for this thing! We can zone in on it."
