“Right!” she replies, following you as you step onto the platform, staying off the circle herself. You hoist the gravity hammer overhead, studying the crystal below as you look for any imperfections. But there isn't one, your son's crystals all still perfectly shaped despite being filled with Dark. So, with no other options you take aim at the center of the circle, swinging down.
“HAAAAA!!” you shout, combining the full force of your arms, back, and legs together to swing the weapon down. Straight into the center of the crystals over the circle, the initial impact cracking the crystals into a spiderweb. But then the hammer's shock wave explodes out, shattering the cracked crystal and sending shards flying in all directions. But, the very INSTANT you do, a massive hand-like appendage shoots up and out, it feeling very familiar. But you don't have long to ponder that as you're grabbed by the appendage, it dragging you down into the Abyss.
“DA-!!” Caulifla shouts, but the moment your head sinks down below the level of the portal you can no longer hear her. Instead you hear a sound of rushing water maybe for several seconds, then the hand lets go. You still feel yourself falling, tumbling down further and further into this darkness and wondering if you should stop and try to fly back up when suddenly your emerald aura illuminates what looks to be stone below you. So, you flip over, landing feet first with enough force to crack the ground you impact. The sharp crack rings out over the darkness, everything beyond a couple feet of emerald illuminated by your aura is complete darkness.
“Well, shit.” you say, focusing on your ki sense as you look over yourself. Fortunately, none of that slimy Abyssal Dark stuck to your Energy Body, it seemingly having slid off. But unfortunately, you can't sense your daughter or anyone you're familiar with. You do, however, sense <span class="mu-i">something</span> down here. A power that, somehow, feels vaguely familiar. While this strength is not as strong as you, it feels infinitely more vast. As if you're stronger than it, but this, this <span class="mu-i">thing</span> is a whole lot MORE than you. It exists on a separate scale, like beings like Mechikabura, Beerus, Beerus' assistant, or the Supreme Kai of Time. You turn towards that energy signature, noticing what looks like a dug-up grave in the stone at the edge of your aura's light. But there, in the dark above it, are eyes. A LOT of glowing, red eyes all staring at you.
