Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[Vile]

From the shadows, out slithered a diabolical lavender snake roid. Isos limp in the fang claws. Rai watched as a superior officer fell, one of his brothers closest friends. His fists clenched, shaking in rage. He couldn't feel it, but his eye lids twiched as he wanted the actions of his partner who sought revenge, only to be stopped by newcomer Jody. No one else had seemed to be phased by this. The pitiful face of the snake, in its pastel faded mint tint, its glowing lifeless blue eyes just mocked the team. Who even chooses to remain with such clashing colors?! His rage was building by the millisecond. Jody had a hold of Pasos, soon to be sending him home. The other members behind them.

"You worthless ugly piece of scrap!" Rai shouted. He darted out towards the foe, Jody unable to grab him as she trans'd Pasos home. He then lunged himself, throwing a punch. "You make my blood boil!" Hygle however, morphed his body together, like a snake, and dropped low as the flooring crumbled.

The team fell and Rai's moment kept up. Airborne he flew towards a lovely deathpit. These ruins were just loaded with spikes. Glorious, wondrous, hellish spikes. A levitating platform was randomly thrown into the room, which marked a great spot to hook a chain rod. Which Rai did. He magnetized himself to the handle, and the rod hit the head of the snake platform. He prevented himself from sure death by impale, but the jolt of stopping his fall took a toll on his arm. There was a snap and the open wounds throughout it torn open just a smidge so that some oil and other lubricants oozed slowly out of them. Rai shirked, holding on only due to his magnet cling. He retracted himself slowly, swaying as the platform was now moving of its own acord. He was gritting his teeth, his spare first sparked occasionally with a blue current.
