The acidic sludge is now at the middle of Malachi's shoulders and it is still slowly getting deeper as he moves forward. The added pressure of the liquid makes it even harder to breathe.

It shouldn't be too much further until I reach a drop off that'll go over my head. Then it's do or die, quite literally. I wonder how many would think me foolish for training in such an extreme manner....

Obviously King Vegeta and his Elites wouldn't think so. This is probably just the initiation for them. Hyede climbed a huge mountain on Mars, so he definitely understands the need to take risks in order to be strong. Malachi could feel bubbles coming up through the acid and passing along his energy on their way to the surface.

In the end will it be worth it? Will I have strength enough to protect the people I've come to care about? I wish I could talk to you, Grandfather. You always knew the answer to any questions I had... He presses onward. His breathing is nearly exasperated. Even the air has an acidic feel to it.

This is probably the most intense training I've ever done. My life has been on the line before, but this is on a completely different level. If I wasn't already as strong as I am then I'd have died as soon as I got here.

The acid slipped into his aura for a moment as he stumbled for a moment and ended up burning his left shoulder. Only a little got in, but it still hurt. He was missing some skin now.

Agh...damn this stuff is bad. It eats through everything in an instant. The fact that it can eat through spiritual energy is impressive enough, but the speed at which it does so is unreal. Sweat is pooling all over his figure from the stress on his body.

I can feel the edge now. It's right in front of me. I don't know how far down it goes. When I step off of this earthen shelf I may not make it to the bottom... He halts his forward motion for a moment, knowing that he may not return.

I said I would do it, so I will. No turning back when you're this close. And with a deep breath he plunges into the acidic abyss.

His body now completely submerged, Malachi crosses his legs indian style and rests his arms on his knees. He takes a somewhat meditative position as he 'floats' in this sea of acid.

I can feel my skin tingling all over just from being down here. I know I'm going deeper still. He thinks as his body slowly descends into the treacherous depths of Venus's acid sea.

I can't take much more of this. My energy is almost at its limit. Being completely submerged like this is draining energy so fast I can hardly think.

Malachi's breath is beginning to run short, and there is no air to be found without expending even more energy to levitate to the surface. Wasting precious energy now would mean certain death.

I've gotta...gotta prepare to transmit. I can't hold up... His consciousness is already beginning to fade. It is uncertain if he's gone beyond his limit.

Hard...to...focus. Prove...King...Vegeta...wrong... His mind is beginning to stray as he grasps tightly to his remaining conscious thought.
