The world dissolved in a flash of white, disorienting light.
~ROOOAAAR!~
The sound hit him first, a wave of millions of voices, a mix of roars, shrieks, and guttural chants, all echoing in a massive, enclosed space.
Adrian found himself in a large, grimy, metallic room, its walls covered in flickering, high-definition screens. Each screen showed a brutal, ongoing brawl.
Other beings were here, each of them looking like something Adrian had never seen.
Grok, by contrast, looked completely at home. A wide, savage grin split his reptilian face.
"Hah! This is my world, Adrian!" he roared, his voice barely audible over the din of the crowd. He slammed his maul onto the metal floor, a sound of pure, joyous anticipation.
As if on cue, Adrian's PAD lit up, distracting him from the surrounding chaos.
