"Yeah, uh... small detail... I didn't take Offencive Class..." Karomaru laughed silently, albeit embarrassed, as he scratched behind his head, "This could be tough..." he started deliberating, before a familiar bark alerted him.

"Arf!" Reno barked from the entrance to the arena, running over to Karomaru, before he stopped in front of his feet and sat down, his master greeting him with a pet.

"Hey boy. Good timing!" Karomaru grinned, "I was hoping not having to bring you, I wouldn't like anything bad to happen since you're a baby." He said a bit concerned, "But hey, you made some flashy light show when you appeared first!" he said, Reno's tongue stopping to flail as he tilted his head in confusion, "Can you do it again at this hole?" he asked, lifting Reno up as he held the puppy in front of the large gap.

"Grrr..." Reno growled at the hole, as if perceiving something.

"What, you find something? Hey, maybe you could tell us how deep this thing is!" Karomaru grinned, starting to approach the large crater's edge, before the place rattled in a similar fashion as the day before. "Woah! The heck?!" Karomaru grunted, hearing Reno bark even louder.

All of a sudden a large, black, gooey hand shoot out of the hole, grabbing at the edge where Karomaru was about to step on. Karomaru quickly reacted and crawled away as the hand nearly smashed him, keeping Reno next to his chest.

"What's this thing?!" The boy shouted, before the large hand shot out and swiped at the group and their familiars, trapping them in the gooey mass before they were taken in where it had come from.

"You are... a Shadow mage?" Dorothy gasped and stood up, Tina appeared not to be aware, and she continued scribbling papers with crayons, applying detail to her childish drawings. "How do you know of our problem?" she asked, frowning with distrust.
