EAT OR BE EATEN [R, NDE]

"Why?" Zen wanders the wastes, contemplating the endless expanse of the world he has come to know as he picks through the sand. "Why is there never an end?" His head turns at the sound of an enemy and he opens his large maw and returns with his own roar. His large limbs lift him off the ground as he looks at the beast approaching and slwly begins his own approach.. slow. very slow. Zen was done. he dashed. Sprinted more accurately. he was taking a curved route. the beast was slow so he planned to overcome it with speed. Zen knew his physical limits and he had no plans to take the thing head on. He was still only as fast as a human at full stride but that was more than enough for this situation.

He stopped as he reached the back of his foe."I'm hungry. You will feed me." Zen stood up on his hind-legs and roared at the top of his lungs, an earth shattering sound. Unbeknownst to Zen his foe would only notice a dull sound in his ears and a sudden increase of size from a black blur. Zen was aware of his minimal strength. but at his size and weight he could simply drop on his foes to crush them. he reared up to full height and bellowed his deep laugh.

Zen fell. he didn't just fall he collapsed. he simply dropped limp and collapsed onto his enemy. Zen was by no means a light individual. he weighed approximately 12 tons. That sheer level of weight would reduce his foe to slime if they could not avoid it. His size and his opponents speed would make moving out of the way difficult. If we bring his true weight into the equation not even this foe would be capable of simply ignoring the force of the blow.

Zen roared violently, hefting himself off the ground and off of the beast he had attacked. Tenacious bastard isn't he? Zen roared again and moved backwards away from the beast. He crouched down on all fours and felt his power changing. a few moments ago he had no access to his reiatsu. as of this moment he focused fully on grodd so that even someone with no energy sensing such as him could feel Zen. his power tripled that of grodd's in measure. He reared up wasting no more time. his power was accessible once more, not only that but he had access to a very particular technique that gave him an advantage in most situations.

Zen vanished, he did not fade away or blur as if in movement he simply could no longer be detected. He had been erased from the senses. Grodd with his minimal sensory would be incapable of even hearing Zen as of this moment. Zen slowly approached taking a long winding route around the enemy. He kept himself silent. He was more powerful than Grodd, or so he believed. He intended to prove it with this next move. He reared up behind Grodd without casting a shadow. silent in his approach, as he slowly moved downwards. Zen knew the limits of his strength but he had his methods. He took his large mouth and without a single sound or breath dropped it down upon grodd's arm. if grodd didn't notice anything than gravity would do The work for Zen. Grodd would be short of an arm and inevitably much weaker from the wound.

even as the movement finished zen broke his stealth with his personal stepping technique. He was far ahead of Grodd now and waiting carefully for his enemy. he had no idea the ability of his foe. however he would soon demolish him. Zen simply had to exhaust Grodd's reserves of reiatsu, an area Zen assumed he was advantaged in. Perhaps he had been too hasty meeting the challenge of this brute. Too bad he was only thinking with his stomach still. he licked his lips and awaited the approach of Grodd. perhaps it would have been better to lure him to a more temperamental location. somewhere with much greater temperatures. keep him occupied with those and finish him off when it's done.

Too late now Zen. He very loudly roars to Grodd hoping to catch the beasts attention. "you are a pathetic useless piece of trash. I hope you at least taste good going inside my gullet." Zen laughed heartily at his commentary and suddenly stopped serious once more. "What is your name beast?" Zen asked in a very loud and curious manner so as to be heard by grodd. Even this imbecile had to know his own name.

Just as Grodd reacted to Zen's movement Zen would react to Grodd's. the moment Zen felt Grodd moving he focuse his power. he roared loudly his energy focusing for a moment. his power now tripled grodds own in measure and just as grodd finished entering Zen his assault would be ended. Zen blurred. grodd would barely feel the movements as zen suddenly rushed past grodd at over 30 times grodds speed. when he finally escaped their was a large horizontal cut across his torso. Grodd would be stumped by this due to his low reactions. Zen was just barely above him but still above him. He used his new found reiatsu power once more and was gone. not moved but simply invisible. his technique camuflar hiding him completely from grodd's pathetic senses.

Zen would not attempt that move again. grodd was simply too dangerous to rely on pure weight alone to deal with. however zen had one plan. grodd was slow but obviously strong. Zen would have to be careful. take advantage of Grodd's low speed. keep a distance to try and exhaust his power. So Zen focused his power on grodd to catch his attention before moving out of the way. he continued this spot ten times around grodd. Zen never ceased moving so as to keep grodd from catching onto-him. he was as of yet unaware of Grodds sensory issues. but unbeknownst to Zen grod would be unable to detect Zen at all through his camouflage.

That shockwave would have torn Zen apart and destroyed him. Had he not been psychotic and violent enough to perform his newest maneuver. He was inside of him so Zen could only see one course of action. He simply made good use of his 14 rows of sharp teeth. Even at his minimal strength the power of his jaw was more than enough to peirce flesh. Just as grodd achieved standing once more his balance would be disrupted again. The entire section of Zens flesh he stood on was now gone and both grodd and the flesh were on the ground, Zen screaming at the top of his lungs until he was far away from the beast. He would bide his time. This creature was tenacious. a horrific beast. Zen could feel the excitement building. The pain was agonizing but he couldn't possibly be happier in this moment.

just as the beast had attempted its own powers to destroy zen from within Zen would use his to destroy it from without. just as he had attempted many times before. he returned to invisibility once more the power he possessed was not power for direct combat. It was more of a supplementary ability as it was. however this ability would give him the advantage. Grodd had attempted direct approaches each time. Zen was going to do something much different at first. this was unusual for Zen but drastic times call for drastic measures. Zen was undetectable. He had not escaped unscathed from Grodd's last attempt though. he may have unintentionally prevented his own death but it had cost him his own flesh.

Zen had come to the realization he could not possibly harm Grodd through his own power. However, Zen had a plan. There were parts of the wastes known as Hueco Mundo that were not quite as empty as the one they fought in now. Zen was invisible. that piece of flesh was massive in comparison to Grodd, thus ensuring Zen atleast a few moments, where Grodd should be occupied with it. Zen was invisible in this moment. He had an idea. If he waited long enough he could kill Grodd. But time was not on his side. Even with his ability to resist damage this wound would not let zen fight for long. Zen had no intention of letting this drag any longer.
