Comet slammed into the floor but did not give, getting to his feet in a blur of motion. Apparently this wasn't enough to harm him. That didn't matter, it wasn't her true attack anyway. Just the setup. And it appeared this Comet knew she intended to bury him, and was confident in his own ability to survive such an event. An interesting conclusion. Certainly he was confident in his abilities. She would have to see whether he indeed survived the following attack. Although perhaps his confidence was born from misinformation. It seemed he believed that the floor had been composed solely of dirt... a most unfortunate conclusion to draw.

With an impressive bound he set himself up for a counterattack. A high-speed rush, intended to end this in a single blow. Predictable. It was not a bad strategy, and against a less capable opponent it might have worked. But Guilt had fought this sort of opponent before, and such a predictable attack wouldn't be enough to defeat her. All the Comet would hit was the wall behind her, stone cracking under the force of impact, as Guilt herself reappeared 20 meters away at the other side of the pit. Her teleportation did not require her to move, just to think. Any attack she could predict was doomed to fail, as she moved instantly from one spot to another. "Lack of experience dooms you. Am I the first Epic who you've fought? Granted such a useful ability, you think that power is enough to save you here. Power is useless in the hands of those who do not know how to use it. You are a child with a hammer, dangerous only to ants."

Allowing herself a smirk beneath the mask, Guilt once more vanished, to reappear at the top of the pit. Staring down, she could not even see the Comet way down there. Purple lightning briefly flashed, the air above the pit shimmered. A massive pillar appeared out of nowhere, dwarfing the surrounding buildings. Precisely 50 meters of stone, cement, asphalt, densely packed dirt and gravel. With another flash the air within the pit vanished, leaving only a tiny bubble around Comet. Within moments this tiny bubble dissipated across the vast inside of the pit, even as the vacuum pulled in the giant pillar. Sliding down it screeched and roared against the sides of the pit, making an unholy amount of noise. The sheer displacement of air created buffeting winds that threatened to knock Guilt over as she beheld the spectacle. Already accelerating this pillar of materials slid down like a thundering train of destruction hurtling through the darkness. A suitably immense boot for a suitably large ant.

Of course this wasn't the first time that Guilt had done this. In her head she did the calculations. A hole 20m in diameter, 50m deep, and a pillar composed mostly of stone, cement, bricks, and densely packed dirt.... it would take about 3 seconds for this pillar to strike the floor, squashing whatever remained there. About 12 metric tons of material, which would accelerate to a speed of about 30 m/s before it hit the bottom of the pit. Were Comet to remain below and try and survive this force he would be exposed to a force of approximately 300 tons, enough force to flatten a heavily armoured tank. And with how deep they went, the bottom of this pillar would consist of at least five or so meters of solid rock, coupled with highly dense earth above. Even punches at Mach 200 could not push this pillar back up, and even breaking through this solid stone layer would simply leave him buried alive. And all this while he was completely unable to breathe.

This was the difference between experience, and arrogance. Every possibility was accounted for, every chance taken into account. Guilt did not engage in 'fights' against other Epics. She engaged in executions. And this one had already taken too much time. Vanishing, Guilt would appear on a nearby rooftop, from which she was ready to once more begin her patrol.

Without outside assistance, Edward would almost certainly perish in this hole.
