The stepping stone technique was going quite well however Murphey's Law was always in play. As the clones tossed Mugen and Keldran one of them was caught by a stream of lava that shot towards the sky. To make matters worse it would seem a local had come to greet them. From below a large reptillian creature launched upwards. As Mugen was still falling into his landing the beast grabbed his ankle with it's jaws and continued upwards. "OH FUCK" was all he managed to exclaim before being pulled upwards into the sky. The knawing around his ankle was excruciating and he knew he had to act quickly or he'd lose his leg or worse.

As the creature carried him higher into the air Mugen decided there was only one course of action. He entered Stage One of his Sage Transformation, his entire right side of his body turned a bluish grey, the white of his eyes turned black while the amber turned silver. His body was coursing with Senjutsu chakra causing very faint wisps of blue and gold to swirl around him. He pushed himself to basically sit up as the beast carried him higher, using very small thrusters on his back to assist him. Mugen was already quite strong but his strength was amplified to a degree in this Stage. As the beast stopped Mugen put his hands in it's mouth near his ankle, his monstrous hand on it's bottom jaw and his left hand on the top. "Let me go" He began to push down with his right hand in an attempt to open the beasts jaw like a vice, just enough to be able to pull his ankle out with the minimum amount of pain.

If he was successful he would form large thrusters down his back before firing them so he could launch himself down to the ground at rapid speeds. He would flip his body so he would land on his feet as opposed to his head. The landing was rough, his ankle was in a bad state but nothing he couldn't handle for now. As he landed he would look around, briefly covering his ears as the beast screamed. He would look on in a sort of shock as the whole area came to life with similar creatures "Oh .... Shit"
