Rhuba slammed down hard on the ground, far off from the coordinates he was trying to reach. A creature flew high above him and had shoved him hard into the ground. It didn't hurt, but damn was it annoying him. The torrential rain didn't help his circumstances, the creature itself was quick, and Rhuba could have easily killed it but he was tired of relying on his Lightspeed technique, and was attempting to fight it without falling back on it.
The creature swooped in again, before quickly being rebuffed by Rhuba. He unfortunately couldn't tell what kind of creature it was, the entirety of it was covered in black sludge and seemed to morph around it's skin as if it was constantly bubbling. Rhuba couldn't sense any ki from the creature, and it seemed to be able to take all of his ki blasts with no repercussions. While flying from it earlier, he had tried multiple ki blasts and none of them made a dent, it almost seemed to make it faster.
His face contorted with frustration as he ignited his Arc-Blade in his hands. "Fine." Rhuba held out his Arc-Blade as if he was a samurai readying a quick strike from an unsheathing stance. The flying creature had circled back and had began swooping in again, it's legs morphing into talons as it got closer. "Lightspeed Arc-Blade." Rhuba said aloud, for no one but himself. As he uttered those words, his after-image was pierced by the creature. The creature then split in half and crumpled on the ground.
Rhuba wasn't happy, he had failed in doing what he wanted, he had to use Lightspeed just to be able to kill things? It was pathetic! Turning his attention now on the dead creature, he saw the bubbling skin began to rip from the creature leaving a husk of what he assumed was a flying dinosaur he had seen not far from here. The sludge reformed quickly, combining together, it quickly began sliding across the ground, the downpour made it hard to see, but he was able to track it well enough to follow it as it slipped into cracks of the Earth and disappeared.
"Huh, what the hell was that?" Rhuba peered back at the carcass it had came from, the dinosaur had seen better days. It was cut clean in two, the damaged carcass reminding him to deactivate his Arc-Blade. Walking over to the carcass, he examined it closely. "Woah, this thing stinks! It's been dead for awhile, the body is rotting..." he said to himself, as he noticed parts of the flesh already rotting from decay. Rhuba was confused at what he had just witnessed, but he assumed that whatever he had seen earlier was piloting that dead dinosaur like some kind of a vehicle.
Backing up away from the carcass, the rain began to let up briefly. The mist created from the storm lifted slightly, and Rhuba could see a cave in the distance. Caves were a good source of dirt, but also a good place to explore. Rhuba had found many of gems and treasures spelunking. Making his way to the cave entrance, he'd spot a very peculiar section of the wall, it seemed to be made of a different material than the rest, as if it was metal. The interior of the cave seemed almost man-made as well, it didn't seem very natural. As he finally made it inside, the cave didn't seem to extend very far.
Rhuba felt the strange wall, instead of hand meeting cold stone, it met cold steel. The wall itself was brushed to look like a rock wall, but it was metallic to the touch. Sliding his hand down the length of the wall, he found where rock met metal. Slipping his fingers over the a piece of the edge of the metal, he began to pull off the panel. The metal bent and snapped as it finally broke free from the rest of the wall. Rhuba slung the metal behind him, outside through the opening of the cave. Seeing some circuitry and what seemed like energy pulsating out of it, he paused before slamming his fist directly into the wall. His arm made it through to the other side, allowing him to grab the edge of the other side, he then began to pull. The cave began to shake as he pulled, Rhuba forced more of his ki into his right arm that pulled on the wall, as his right arm swelled and bulked. Snap, crack, the entire metal wall slung away from the rocks, slamming into parallel cave wall.
"Phew, that was actually heavy..." He said, staring into the open hole he had just created, now rotating his right arm, stretching it out. Luckily the cave was stable enough to withstand what he had did to it's foundation. The room inside was filled with runic symbols and glowing energies, as if it was a laboratory that had been left running for hundreds of years. Rhuba took a brief step into the building, realizing it was a much bigger room than he had realized from the outside. The moment he stepped foot inside the building, an alarm began to blare and an unknown language to him rang in his ears from every direction. Rhuba looked around the room, wondering what he had done, knowing it was likely nothing positive.
