Raist looks up from sharpening his black bladed sword, a sadistic smirk on his face. He watches everyone as they prepare for the fight while sharpening the blade, sparks raining down from it to hit the ground under his feet.

"So what are we going to be fighting, a big black blob, and where are we going to start off to? Is there any special equipment we will need like breather tanks, since this thing is under water?
