"So this is the beast lands huh?Doesn't seem too hostile,"Group 1 captain Aizen chuckles as he looks over the horizon of a dry,sandy waste land.The so called beast lands was non other than another empty land filled with sand or it seemed atleast.
"Don't judge this place too quickly Aizen,this place couldn't be given the name for no reason,"group 2 captain Mamamuro calmly addresses him as she arrives besides him,their companions arriving behind them.
"The wind blows hard from their direction,catching them off guard,others even having trouble keeping him their balance.
"Damn...let's just continue on with our task.We confirm any signs indicating the dragon was here,then get out."Mamamuro sighed as she studies the environment.
"Umm captain Mamamuro,something is wrong with our healer,"one of the attackers addresses her as the healer looks at the South East direction with dark,dead eyes.
"Mi....mi....ruta....my queen needs...me,"the healer coldly speaks as if In a trance of some sort.
The other attacker from Mamamuro's group knocks the healer's head into reality,causing him to hold his head in pain as he snaps back.
"Ouch....w-what the hell man!"the once possessed healer hisses in anger as he launches himself at the attacker.
Mamamuro watches in interest as she tightens her eyes."Something feels off about this place,"she sternly says as she roams the land with her eyes.
"Alright,your group will investigate the South-East part of the land and we will look into the South-West part,"Aizen orders as he gets ready to depart.
Mamamuro nods as they all go their separate ways.From afar a few eyes made of sand linger into them as one of them returns back to a figure in a bony mask,standing atop a large heep of sand.
"So they think they can venture into my domain eh?Well we will see about that,"her warm innocent voice echoes as she grins sadistically.She let's go of the eye as she sinks into the sand,no trace left.
**************************************************
Aizen's group ventures deeper into the sandy land as the ground begins to rumble.The rumbling was too much that it made all of them lose balance and fall except for Aizen who stabbed his great sword deep into the sand to prevent the pressure from the ground from overwhelming him.
"Keep it together guys,I think something is coming out of the ground."He grunts as he tightens his grin on the great sword as the pressure increases.
As he expected,a swarm of snakes made of sand emerge from the ground hissing.They eagerly stand up as one of the snakes launches itself at them.
One of the attackers grabs it by its neck crushes it,leaving some dirt particles into his hand as some fall to the ground.
"I got this guys,the supporter says as he shoots a basic fire spell at them from his hand.The fire ball hits the whole swarm,unfortunately leaving them barely harmed.
"Jai you idiot,didn't you know fire is ineffective against sand?Leave it to me,'"one of the attackers Scarlet addresses him as she steps closer to the scene.
Jai just grins and takes out a wand,hovering it into the air."Sikai fireball!"he calls out.a spell as a speck of fire from his want grows bigger and bigger,as it turns black.
"Let's see if this is ineffective against you rats!"he says as he throws the giant ball of black fire at the snakes.The fire hits the whole group of snakes as it sinks into a sand,followed by an explosion that scatters sand around the area,some hitting them.
"See that Scarlet,still think my fire magic is ineffective against them,he chuckles as he wipes some sand off himself.
Suddenly the sand beneath him starts to shake aggressively,slowly sinking.him in.
"D-damn it,"he groans as he struggles to move his legs.Sudenly some sand forming a huge mouth forms beneath the sand and gobbles his entire body,then retreats into the sand,causing everyone to jump back.
A cheeky laughter from underneath the sand catches them off guard.In an instant a figure in a mask made of bones emerges from the ground as a heep sand underneath the figure rises high enough that it creates a shadow over everyone.
"I don't know what business you have here but retreat now before I do what I did to your friend,"The figure cheekily ordered them as a huge sand snake twice the size of the sand heep emerges off the ground violently in front of the mysterious figure,providing protection.
Aizen calmly gets up,wiping some sand off himself,voice stern,straight to the point.
"Have you seen a dragon around here?"he asked,causing the masked figure to raise its brow.
