Respect Nature, Bruh. [Private)

The reptile was perched atop of a branch looking below at the group of apes that were peacefully sleeping. He noticed that they were all relatively of the same size aside the typical silver back that seemed to be slightly larger than the rest and even more muscular. That was the sole creature awake and Etzolix did seem to need the training that he had slacked on in the previous world. Deep Jungle had been gone so perhaps this would be the new suitable habitat for him to practice his hunting, tracking and etc?

Moving the branch a bit to get the attention of the silver back he ended up arching his eyes up taunting it. Understanding the sinister look in the eyes of the reptile perhaps they had met in another dimension? A different iteration or something as Shirou had once explained to him during their travel here. Despite it almost being instant they did take some time in between and having traveled into other dimensions and have discussed some things.

As the gorilla lunged silently it grabbed onto the branch and swung around it attempted to smack his back as it came around and it was somewhat successful. Etzolix turned and blocked his with arms across his chest but it still sent him flying into a tree a whiles away his back hurting as he landed into the path of gorillas he ended up awaking. Fuck. They were slightly dazed so he put on his claws but there were about 6 of them not including the alpha that was on the branch that was apparently strong enough to support the ape. As one charged at him he jumped off of its shoulder and into the air towards the silver back.

He failed. Another gorilla grabbed one of his legs and slammed him into the ground. It hurt. A lot. He wasn't used to being this slow or this weak and even if he was better than his default power in the Kingdom Hearts universe he had to get accustomed to his new power set. As he was lifted in the air by the gorilla the two being face to face as it prepared a donkey punch type attack Etzolix didn't move and played possum.

As the fist came swinging toward him, relentlessly, the fur of the beast grazed him as he used his functioning torso muscles to inch out of the way as he pushed forward and dug into the weak points of the beasts face. The metal of his gauntlets pierced through the eyes and nostrils of the beast causing it to yelp and causing the others to start more of a ruckus. As they now worked as a team as the injured beast let go of him and addressed the wounds on its face one of the beasts caught him and tossed him in the air.

As the serpent flew he grew accustomed to the air and adjusted his body he was met with the raging fist of the alpha male as this donkey punch connected he was sent flying down a couple of his ribs broken and potentially his spine if he hadn't created a portal underneath him in order to send himself flying up. However, he was tackled by another beast midway so that he would be stuck under the creature. As he attempted to crush his skull with his palm the reptile created a portal that made it smack itself in the fact off him allowing him a chance to hop onto a tree and potentially escape.

Yet, these damned apes were well coordinated. As he jumped one smashed him into the tree again where another would then slap the side of him. He would block it but he would still be severely injured. They were gorillas. He was sent flying in another direction where this ape somehow was able to kick him into the sky. Not too high as he didn't pass the trees but it was large enough for the alpha to attack him yet again after recovering from the last midair attack.

As his ocher eyes showed only disappointment in himself he had thought being this weak would be a good thing but he couldn't even defend himself against measly apes. Perhaps this was why Yukina didn't reveal himself to him if that was even her. And even if it was the case he was still a bit angsty so he would turn his back on the ape and let it hit the metal of his blades and use that as some type of armor or lame defense to not be completely obliterated by that fist. Flying through a bush or twelve his fall was softened by the familiar bark of a tree that still fucking stung. Apparently, he had gone far enough where they didn't try attacking him anymore but that might just be because he was practically useless now.

A couple of ribs were broken, his forearms were cracked and he could feel it because of the constant blocking he did against forces much too powerful. Had it not been for quick thinking both times then he would have been paralyzed. Luckily his legs were still okay. Standing up he collapsed to the floor again. Okay, apparently not. He supposed he would just sit there and let himself heal through use of his angst magic or whatever.
