>>5309731"This is bad, I have to get out of here." you think to yourself, drawing your right hand up to your forehead as you put everything into your ki sense. You try expanding your ki sense as you usually do, searching for anyone, any<span class="mu-i">thing</span> with a ki signature that you could reach out and teleport to, but you can't sense anything. Not even the monstrous crab-like abomination's titanic ki, who's face was a mere few feet away from you appears in your ki sense. Whatever this darkness it sprayed you with has blinded your ki sense, it may be rendering you blind. So you reach out to Caulifla telepathically, trying to find your daughter to teleport to her that way. “Cauli, where are you? Can you hear me?”
But you get nothing. Your mind doesn't connect to your daughter's mind, or even Raven's. You are alone.
“What the hell?” you mutter to yourself, as the sensation of falling continues. You feel your body still dropping through.... something, and then the realization hits you: that black mist wasn't just a disorientating darkness. It has TELEPORTED you somewhere else! And you have a sinking feeling matching the pull of gravity just where you've been sent. “I have to get out of here, and back to Caulifla before that monster can hurt her!”
With your resolve hardened you redouble your efforts to sense something, ANYTHING to get you out of this space. You block out all of your other senses, focusing exclusively on your ki sense, and as the falling sensation continues, you suddenly sense something. Far, far down below you, you can suddenly sense a tiny spark of life. So you focus on it exclusively, and with your hand to your forehead use your Instant Transmission one more time. Teleporting through the darkness, you appear down deeper into the darkness by the ki you'd felt. Appearing in the darkness next to the minuscule ki signature, you drop down maybe another foot or two before your feet land on what feels like solid ground. And while you can sense the being is right before you, you still can't see anything. So you decide to brighten up the room, activating your armor just in case.
“Hrrrmph!” you exhale, drawing out your ki and focusing it into your Energy Body around you. As you do, your emerald ki radiates light out around you, and illuminates the pit you've fallen into. The area appears to be made of naturally-formed stone, not cut blocks like a temple but more like a cave. However, more importantly than that your light also illuminates the source of the ki you'd sensed. And your brain can't make sense of what you're seeing. But you get the feeling that this, <span class="mu-i">thing</span>, is suddenly just as aware of your presence as you are of it. And something just tells you that this just can't be good.
