Galaxy's knife came down with a deafening clang, embedding itself in the grimy floor of the lab. Her anger radiated like a storm, her eyes blazing as she took in the horrid scene before her.
(Imagine a cool transition from Infinity's claw to Galaxy's knife if this was animated).
"What happened? This doesn't look like the underworld. The heck is Kata doin' here?!" Aki panicked, his voice tight with fear as he looked around the room.
The dim light flickered ominously, casting long, sinister shadows that danced across the walls and highlighted the ghastly tools scattered throughout.
Charlie's eyes darted nervously, his gaze falling on a familiar figure.
"By the looks of it, Kata's being tested on..." he said, his voice strained.
"With what?!" Aki questioned.
"Don't you recognise the scent?" Charlie asked, his expression grim.
Aki's nose suddenly twitched as he caught a whiff of something unmistakable—an acrid, metallic stench mingling with the heavier blood odour.
"Wait...! This... this is where that anti-magic stuff is being developed?!" Aki gasped in horror.
"Just call it the A.M chemical the like the rest of the smart-asses," Charlie grumbled.
"I'm not taking advice from the guy who worked with these torture-loving freaks!" Aki argued.
"Newsflash, I've never worked with these assholes. I worked with demons that worked with them!" Charlie explained.
"Oh, same diff!" Aki argued back, frustration palpable.
"Galaxy, we gonna get outta here now?" Aki suggested.
"...." Galaxy didn't speak, her face a mask of cold fury.
"Err... Galaxy?" Aki repeated.
