Rhythm

The skies overturned and streaks of lightning began to fall down. However, Ryu grabbed upward. Comprehensions of his Lightning Elemental Spirit flashed through his mind and his own Tribulation Seed churned.

Rainbow light flashed through his veins and his arm pulsed with power.

He grabbed the bolt out of the skies, his gaze blazed.

'Shatter.'

BANG!

The bolt scattered into smaller sparks of golden rain, falling onto the cauldron in a controlled manner.

The cauldron began to shake and quake, but it was in a much more controlled and almost rhythmic sense.

This seemed to be just an illusion at first until even the thunder in the skies began to move to this rhythm.

For a moment, everyone who was within earshot of these thunderous boom of synchronized bass drums felt as though their hearts were being forced into a familiar cadence as well, almost like the skies were controlling even them.
