"The explosion shattered the crystal and sent the entire lab around me into the void! Even if I had survived the explosion itself, I would've died anyways!"

Sabre had a wild look in his eyes as he recounted the explosion that took him away from his friends. He waved his arms around, imitating the explosion that killed him.

"...AND if the shockwave hadn't shook me to the bone and made my ears bleed, the crystal shattered at a wavelength so high my mind burned! The crystal shards flung everywhere, lodging themselves deep into me. It burned, it burned like a thousand suns. The sheer power of the crystal couldn't be handled.."

He paused only to reveal scars. Thick, jagged scars along his face, neck, and arms. They bunched up the closer to his torso they were.

He stared into the men's souls with an empty expression void of joy.

"I screamed as I fell into the void below, the burning not stopping as I was enveloped in the cold blackness. My eyes burned with hot tears as my limbs froze. I started coughing up blood, the knife-sharp pieces lodged in my chest burrowing deeper. My breath slowed as I choked in the airless void. I tried to reach out, do something, anything.

But it was no use. The debris falling with me escaped my grip every time.

I had enough consciousness left to watch the giant yet not endless crater above dissappear from view. The dimension would survive. I did it.

My view was soon blocked by a massive chunk of wood coming right for me.
I shut my eyes as it slammed into me, sending me flying deeper into the abyss.
The crystal shards pushed deep into me, piercing many organs. I bit my lip, trying not to scream. My body was bruised and torn. I tried to hold on.
But the blunt trauma and sharp pain was too much.
I howled in agony as I fell into the uncaring, freezing, void. My eyes were growing heavy.

That was when I saw it. The creature was as dark as the void, somehow even darker. Teal and green markings, shimmering in the emptiness, defined its form.
It was truly MASSIVE. Larger than any being I had ever seen.
It appeared above me. I froze mid-fall the moment it appeared.
I couldn't make out any features on the Thing. I could see a teal and green light growing below me. It soon was so bright I couldn't help but look.
I couldn't see anything by that point.
My eyes had grown blurry with tears and blood.
The light enveloped my broken body. It was just as cold as the void."

Sabre stared at the two with his dead eyes. His pupil-less coded eyes had turned teal and green, just like the creature, but dull. Like a computer turning off slowly.

The pro hero tried to avoid the man's uncomfortable gaze, finding himself unable to look away. The pure power this man held kept him in a trance.

The detective did manage to avoid his gaze, jotting down as much as he could, as if his life depended on it. If he noticed his companion's trance he didn't show it.

"And that was when I died. At least, that body of mine," Sabre smiled dangerously, "It felt like a rebirth, into another world.

Which it almost was.

When I awoke in the new world, it felt like time had skipped. I was in a cave base, speaking to the...viewers. I won't explain who they are. All you need to know is that I became aware only after I had been in the new world. I...can't remember how I got there. How I encountered it. Why I was aware of the viewers again, or had my tablet back. Why I was in a cave in the first place.

I talked to them like I knew what I was doing, like I hadn't just woken up. I used my tablet's camera mode to interact with them before leaving..

At the time, I couldn't remember what I'd just been through. None. I couldn't remember the Steves, I couldn't remember the explosion. I knew the world was...different though. That the world was more detailed than usual.
All I knew was I didn't remember showing up and encountering a creature.
