Shu couldn’t see in the dark, it was just nothingness out beyond the orb and his eyes were definitely having a hard time adjusting; now, the only problem was whatever the noise was. It sounded like a creature of some kind, but that would be weird considering it used the elevator and not even Shu knew how to do that. He was pretty scared, hugging onto Yumi all while she held onto him just as hard as they both stared into the darkness. It could easily jump on them and try to eat them if they separated, he learned that from being told during his childhood how to stay safe and not end up being prey to something else. Looking up to Yumi, he gave a quick nod, “Uh huh…I’ll try not to worry…” he spoke lowly, his eyes going into the darkness once more.

The smell of food was strange, it wasn’t exactly new food and was just leftover stuff. It was definitely an odd choice to go for when there was so much more that would probably be tastier. Gasping as all noise seemed to cease, he looked quickly to Yumi only to look to Takeshi when he was directed towards the creature. He felt pretty scared, but so long as he was strong then he could beat whatever it was. Slowly walking along with Takeshi, he frowned as they moved further into the room in search of this beast. They could be walking right into its trap for all he knew, but Yumi and Takeshi seemed confident enough to follow on all while trying to guess what it was. As Yumi let go of him, he watched her as she walked into the darkness, immediately moving close to Takeshi and his ball of light. It was very risky for Yumi to go out that way, but if she was confident then he was going to have to trust she was making the right decision.

Despite the group struggling to see where they were, the mysterious creature could see them perfectly despite the bright shining ball almost masking their forms. They were after the food, they wouldn’t had come down here if it wasn’t for the food. There was a lot of discomfort in his body, a mysterious instinct controlling him and strange forces unknown at work. The group were merely being seen as aggressors upon his food pile, a great hunger driving the need to attack them and fight them off. Slowly moving around the group, eyes trained on them all he watched as the girl moved out of the light. Crouching lowly in response, he moved slightly to the side before suddenly pouncing straight for Yumi, trying to knock her down and claw her and drag her away. The flash of shadow that passed certainly looked like Viral, but with longer claws and protruding fluffy ears. Pretty aggressive and quick, there was loud growling and hissing but sure enough a jump straight for the food after the brief attack towards Yumi.
