Jinzo's head was filled with a high-pitched ringing. Despite readying himself beforehand, the attack had caught him unawares and forced him off balance causing him to fall as the room he was stood in plummeted into the floor below before the ground itself seemed to give way too. It was only due to his instincts that he was able to scramble to his feet in order to leap through the shattered window of what used to be the observation room. He rolled to a stop, finding himself in a new place entirely. As he regarded his new surroundings, Jinzo's hearing slowly returned to him.

It was Boshu, she was down here alongside him, although she almost seemed to be completely unfazed by the recent events as he watched her grab a strange case of arrows. Acting without thought, Jinzo swiped the case that held the gloves. He wasn't sure what used they'd be to anyone but he figured the brass wouldn't mind taking a look. [color=coral][b]"Any ideas on how to tackle that thing up there?"[/b][/color] Boshu spoke again. Before Jinzo could respond, his attention was drawn to the hole above - a familiar sight during this mission so far - and the rubble that was about to fall.

He dropped the case that held the gloves and immediately slammed his hands onto the ground yelling, [color=black][b]"Rock Pillar Prison!"[/b][/color] Despite the earlier resistance, Jinzo managed to materialize three, large pillars that reached up to the edge of the hole, securing floor above and preventing any further debris from cascading down into the hole. He took a moment to inspect his work, confirming that any immediate danger had passed.

His fellow Tiger hadn't seemed to notice, he thought. Or maybe she did and had expected him to do something about it already? Either way, she was already making her way back up to the others in order to combat whatever had thrown them through the floor. Jinzo, however, stayed behind. Manipulating the earth hadn't been too difficult but converting the earth to crystal was definitely going to take longer. He called out to his squad mate, finally. [color=black][b]"Same as before, Boshu. I need you to buy me some time."[/b][/color]
