The Altar 5

Within a few seconds, Pegasus and Shita arrived at the site of where Kyba's had specified. Pegasus set Shita down onto the ground. She wobbled a bit but still stood up well enough.

"Stay here. I promise I will explain everything later," said Pegasus.

He did not give her time to reply and dived head first into the ocean. Pegasus was fully immersed into the ocean. He closed his eyes and searched for Seto's presence. A weak presence made his body vibrate softly. Immediately, Pegasus assumed a torpedo shape and darted in the direction of the detected presence.

It was not long before he saw bare pillars of stone with a dome of red in the center. The smell of blood was thick even through the ocean. There was no other life in site. There was only blood.

Pegasus approached the dome slowly. He spun a small ball of concentrated web cautiously and let it float next to the dome. The ball touched the dome and was instantly shot away. The ball almost grazed Pegasus's cheek.

Great, I can't even touch it thought Pegasus. 

Next he launched, simultaneously, multiple cone-shaped web darts at the dome, while moving away from the line of fire to avoid a possible rebound. The darts were also shot away.

The dome pulsed.

What was that?

Just then a small pouch began to form out of the dome. The pouch separated and dispersed revealing Kyba's body.

Kyba's limp body floated away from the dome. Pegasus quickly fired strings of web and pulled Kyba's away from the dome. He saw Kyba's abdominal wound and sealed it up with some web.

They headed for the surface.
