A headache.

This was far from an unusual state of being by now. Very far. Still, the screeching did alarm him.

Inhuman. Possibly chiropteran, not that Naito would use such a word. It seemed both like a bat and a human. Another of those experiments.

His eyes opened slowly. He could see the dark rock of the ground, the large tree sticking out that rapidly.... "ungrew" would probably be the term. One moment it was very tall, like giant kelp, the next it was half disintegrating into nothingness, half sinking into the ground and...un-develping. Another rock near him grew out of the platform on which they were lying, a second rock disintegrating like the kelp.

He looked around. To their left was a swiftly-moving waterfall....off of nothing, leading [i]up[/i] and in some parts [i]sideways[/i] from nothing to nothing. He looked around at last. They were in a purple vortex of some sort, an abyss. Presumably there was an exit not far from here, but he did not know where. He looked to the fallen Jasmine, shaking her, trying to wake her up. "Jasmine, Jasmine, please be okay..."

"Cyrus!" He could finally hear something out of the screeches, the form of a purple bat like creature, a man by the voice, with four purple wings still attempted to fly. Attempted was the operative word, since the bottom wings (seeming to be the remnants of feet) were encased in stone, the top wings (formerly hands, with fingers on the ends) struggling to get him free. The Crobatmorph's back was to them, but he kept trying, looking around frantically, flying in a single direction. Presumably this was the right direction to go.

He seemed to notice them, however. "You!" he shouted. Two large buzz saws of wind revved before him, and launched themselves at the duo, Naito throwing himself over Jasmine to take the blow. He grunted, but it was, all things considered, not nearly as bad as other things he had been hit with. He looked at the bat-thing again, and his body began to glow brightly, mesmerizing any who would look at it. He was stuck in a trance...

Two purple slashes came, one from each unrestrained wing, probably hitting both of them. Naito gasped in pain as this happened, somewhat damaged by the Cross Poison, but not realizing the other effect of increased effect of critical hits against him.

That was the last the Crobatmorph was able to do, however. He tried, tried so very hard to escape, but then it happened. Another rock grew out of the ground before him, enveloping the top of his head. As a silent screech came, a tree came up from behind, pushing him up, up....and there was a sickening crack as his back broke, his body broken as the tree just disappearing as he finally died to this world.

The angel was shocked, of course,
