Akio crouched down as low as he could when he heard the wall surface above him explode open. All he could see out of the corner of his eye a large eel like serpent flowing out of the freshly designed hole and burrow it's way into the ground next to him. To him it almost moved like a ghost through the solid surfaces, both effortlessly and seemingly without restrictions with the exception of exploding debris showing each of the entry and exit points. As soon as the creature had burrowed away Akio stood up and set foot on his escape. The streets were narrow and Akio was weaving around the corners in an attempt to place as much distance between himself and the creature. He could see the silhouette doorways for people's homes on the buildings around him quickly wondering if people were actually inside and whether they would be able to help him. "Idiot!!!" he breathed under his panting breath realising that he was only just talking to some other people just before. Glancing down at his wrist Akio saw the last lot of text messages holographically projected across his fore arm. He wasn't able to read them fully as he was dashing around corners and grabbing hold of the edges to swing a bit of extra momentum. [color=green]> John ###: Everything ###? Where ### you? ## can ### up ### you're ### if ### need ###.[/color] It was all Akio could make out from looking at his shaky arm but it was enough. He held his hand up and hovered over the hologram keyboard, attempting to type in something. At that same moment an explosion from the ground behind him could be heard and the Worm leapt out of the surface, following him like a dolphin leaping after a fishing boat. [color=green]> Rawr_Pwr: Grernacte Redrrve[/color] [i](Greenacre Reserve)[/i] "Close enough..." Spell checking while running for your life was the least important thing to be thinking of and looking back he could see exactly what he was running from. With each leap the Worm showed off it's glistening 10 metre long body and each time it entered the earth it would open it's mouth in order to consume the dirt. On it's latest leap the worm opened it's mouth mid-air and gave it's whole body a violent corkscrew spin, firing off a projectile at it's victim. Akio could see the projectile land next to him as he had just enough of a moment to shift his weight to one side, but the impact of the explosion had pushed him into a nearby wall. His shoulder cracked against the hard surface giving him a sharp pain through the side of his body. Stumbling for a bit and loosing some speed he pushed his feet hard against the ground in order to continue his painful run. [i]"I gotta do something,"[/i] Akio held up his fists and clicked the glowing button on the side, allowing his cannons to begin to form, [i]"I ain't loosing my first fight like this."[/i]
