The cold stirs some long forgotten memory that was lost to time, but that's not important. The water level is rising, enough to soak shoes and make walking uncomfortable if it gets in them. The thick fog from the water clears, revealing a circle of sculptures depicting nine children of varying ages and statures. The expression of shock and disappointment directed towards you is so lifelike, it's as if they were real children who were suddenly petrified.

That disturbing thought aside, the water level is still rising. It's up to the ankles now, and anyone without boots is surely regretting it. A monstrous sound echos through the chamber.

It's a sea monster, terrifyingly majestic as it breaches the surface of the water. It's also made of water itself. And it's clearly the source of the flooding, which is by the way, half way up to the knees.

The water is dangerously at his waist, even as he keeps climbing stairs.

"Not what I meant dumbass!" He groaned loudly. He prepares to dive in after John, but he doesn't need to. The Kyogre beats him to the punch and as it dives into the water, it raises the water level, submerging everything.

It was a nice thought though, and John sure would have appreciated the gesture had he been aware of it. At the moment he's mostly struggling to swim up out of the water, which is hard when it's churning and twisting around him the way it is, and his own ridiculously long hood is actually getting wrapped up around him and making it that much harder to swim.

That and the water level rising the way it is. This is definitely not going the way John expected it to.

Slowly, the water darkens. Swift currents pass by John in random directions before two red eyes appear before him.

Hello John, it's Mr. Kyogre.

Basically everything John didn't want to deal with at the moment. Struggling against the water John does his best to reverse the flow using the wind to push at the water. It's hard this far underwater, but he's doing his best to shove it all into Kyogre's face.

The Kyogre ain't having none of that wind shit. Annoyed, it opens up its jaw and begins to counter John's attempt at countering by inhaling everything below the surface of the water. If the water around was dark, the swirling vortex into the monster's maw is impossibly darker.

And hey, was that Gold's body getting sucked in?

It's all pretty horrifying, and John knows the one thing he doesn't want to do is go into that mouth. Unfortunately struggle as he might and push against the water with his powers, the current is stronger than the breeze down there.

He can't do anything for himself. He sure as heck can't do anything for Gold as he got pulled down besides make a snatch for him, and when he misses going tumbling down into the darkness that is Kyogre's gaping maw.
