As Hikaru was free falling through the sinkhole, he was able to decipher that the hole is pretty deep.
Hikaru was kind of scared yet he was confident that he can brace himself for the impact. Hikaru started to first compose himself and his entire body in a way his entire front of the body is facing the ground while falling. Hikaru had a plan on how to survive this.
"If I can just time this correctly..."
Hikaru says as he slowly reaches out for the walls of the sinkhole and begins scraping his fingers against the wall while still falling. The friction was burning the skin of his finger tips.
"Come on... Come on"
Hikaru says frantically as he sees the ground approaching.
"Frost Senzai Art:
Ice Creation"
Hikaru summons a slide of ice below him which is adjacent to the cave walls, and Hikaru is able to create a steep slide of ice that goes all the way down and slow down Hikaru's landing and the force.
Hikaru rode the slide for a few seconds before crashing inface on the ground. The slide made up of Senzai slowly disintegrated.
"Ow..."
Hikaru grimaces as he slowly stands up and looks around seeing a vast case revealed through the sinkhole. However, something caught Hikaru's eye.
For starters the Demogorgon's entire body was squashed from the impact a reflection of what could have happened to Hikaru. And secondly, Hikaru also sees an ice sculpture of a man a few Hundred feets away.
"Is this some lost treasure? Why is there this thing?! It hasn't melted?"
Hikaru limps towards the sculpture, placing his hand on it. Suddenly Hikaru's eyes open, his pupils dilated.
"T-this is made up of... Senzai?"
Many thoughts ran through Hikaru's mind. At first he didn't want to believe it that it's made up of Senzai, but if it hasn't melted this means it's Senzai made.
Moreover, this thought alone shook Hikaru as it seemed like that the effect of this Art must have been from a powerful Senzai User as it seemed the sculpture was there for years of decades.
"Should I?"
Hikaru thinks to himself. He has an itch to defrost the sculpture, but he imagines something.
"W-what if it's some sealed curse? Am I doing the right thing?"
Hikaru thinks to himself as he places his hand on the sculpture, his face away pondering.
"I mean I should probably leave it alone... Shouldn't I?"
Hikaru thinks to himself deeply.
A chill goes down Hikaru's spine... He feels wet sensation from his hand that's was on the sculpture. Hikaru looks back and the horror is there.
The sculpture had melted from just his touch alone. Hikaru is a bit scared and excited of what's to come. He slowly steps back and grabs his sword which had fallen from the fall nearby.
"Why does this look like some Arcade Boss Battle? "
Hikaru gets in stance and prepares for anything.
What was within the sculpture that had melted was an above average height man, long blond hair that curled and a mid part of sort, the man was wearing a tattered battered pink yukata and the man seemed to have facial hair at his chin.
"umm..."
Hikaru just stood there facing this man.
The man suddenly opens his left eye, which was red coloured and he looks around?
"Huh? Huh? Wait-"
The man starts patting his body everywhere frantically with excitement.
"I- am I alive?! I'M ALIVE! IN THE FLESH! YAHOOOO! YOU WOMAN! YOU ARE TRULY WONDERFUL!"
The man looks around in celebration and sees Hikaru infront.
"Brat ... Who the hell are you? And what era am I in?"
Hikaru gulps a bit.
"Who the hell are you first?"
The man groans.
"I'm Makizushi. Sora Makizushi. I am a warrior and I am here to challenge the strongest man you have..."
Sora places his hands on his hips with a cocky smile. Hikaru looks confused and he replies:
"I'm Hikaru Shimo... And uh today is the year 1987..."
Sora's eyes pop open.
"Nineteen eighty what the cluck?"
Sora says in a surprised expression.
"YOU BITCH! IT TOOK YOU MORE THAN A MILLENNIUM?!?"
Sora complains looking up at the cave roof and throwing a rock at it aggressively.
"Yikes calm down old man."
Hikaru smirks at Sora's problem.
Sora looks back at Hikaru and narrows his eyes at him with a stoic expression.
"You, brat. Take me to your strongest."
"Uh, what?"
"I said. Take. Me. To. Your. Strongest..."
Sora says in a more serious tone.
Hikaru smirks at Sora's request.
"Heh, old man... What if I say, I am the strongest?"
"Bullshit. You are pathetic."
Sora instantly takes down Hikaru's claim.
"You sure?, I can freeze your old bum again!"
Hikaru taunts Sora with his tounge out.
"..."
Sora remains silent for a moment and he takes one singular step. Suddenly a huge invisible weight came crashing over Hikaru, his soul shaking and his body numb, the entire cave was enveloped in Sora's aura. Hikaru started struggling and he bends and kneels infront the ground instinctually, the weight keeping him immobile.
"So this... Ngh is what I heard about Senzai Energy... If it's overwhelming, it crushes you..."
Sora keeps the pressure on Hikaru and he then stops the overflow of his energy and proclaims:
"Most would have collapsed at the mere second that this energy lands on a person. It seems you are not one of the most."
Sora then suddenly seemingly teleported due to his superior speed infront of Hikaru.
"However, you aren't even merely the strongest I sense. You are pathetic..."
Sora says as he grabs Hikarus face and slams dunks into the floor. Hikaru groans in sheer pain and then Sora places his foot on the back of Hikaru's head.
"I'll toy with you until you're dead, fool."
Hikaru stares up at Sora with a terrified face. Sora looks down with a sinister smile.
