Techna: Breakdown

IC: Lekar (NMN)Lekar paused. "Uh... Just deliver it to City Square." He finally said, as that was where he was seated. Zakaro

IC: Zaphos"Very well," he replied, noting that the Square was on the way to the other address. "Please look up."

IC: Lekar (City Square)"Alright." Lekar said, doing so. And so he saw the Frostalus named Zaphos."I'm about 5 feet to your left, sitting on a bench."Zakaro

IC: Zaphos"Alright," said Zaphos, landing, handing the other being the pizza. "Here's what you ordered."

IC: Lekar (City Square)"Thank you, good sir." Lekar replied, shutting down the call as he took the pizza. Pulling 7 widgets from his hyperspace pocket, he tossed them to Zaphos, speaking as he threw."Here's a tip."Zakaro

IC: Zaphos"You're welcome," he replied, gracefully accepting the tip as he headed towards his next customer.

IC: WastesSeveral teleports brought Arketh and Blacklight near the outskirts of New Metru Nui. The skeleton stared at the city for a moment, imagining all the terrors that he would soon unleash in the place. He quickly stopped, however, before he could concieve any interesting concepts. Better to save them for when the pair was actually in the city, and at a place with a reasonable vantage point.Giving a simple whim, the shadows lashed out at Arketh, but with no malicious intentions for their master. The darkness whisked him away into New Metru Nui, his destination within known only to him and them.

IC: Lelar (City Square)Lekar leaned back, happily munching on his 3rd slice of pizza. The pizza he had gotten was made into 8 slices, and he had given 1 away to a little Matoran, and so he had half the pizza left. Lekar took a sip of water from a bottle he had in his hyperspace pocket, and spoke drowily to himself. "This is gooood pizza."Zakaro

IC: Emma - CitadelEmma slowly made her way out the door, into the next hallway, "I'm not sure if they make medication for this, Kinvex, but thanks for the offer. Now then, where did everyone go?"-Void

-==IC: Kairan==-"Not quite sure. We left them back in the lobby." Kairan said with a shrug."That, and Blade took off earlier than that."

IC: Amalia:"C'mon, Blade. We have to get going. So, do you want to use my Kakama to get there with me, or do you prefer to get carried?" Amalia asked with a smirk. She loved having the opportunity of Blade carrying her around.

IC: Emma - CitadelEmma chuckled softly, "Somehow, that doesn't seem to surprise me. In that case, let's all go to the lobby!"OOC: Sorry, couldn't resist. -Void

IC, Kinvex: Kinvex chuckled and walked with Emma and Kairan in the direction of the lobby. "I dunno why they would go there, there isn't much to see in the lobby."OOC: Wait, why are we going to the lobby? I'm confused.

OOC: I've been thinking... how did the Wolves escape the IoP? IC: Ezraftin / CPU RoomThe Nektann didn't even bother to raise its leg to Trakuda; it simply fired out a laser beam (which was also on the leg). Ezraftin, watching it charged up, causing the light energy to become supercharged, creating a massive explosion that shattered that laser blaster from within. From behind the shield, that area of the leg was destroyed, including the anti-gravity generators and shields."Go! Get it now!" Ezraftin shouted frantically, as the shields began redirecting power to restore themselves. Now the others had a chance to at least further damage it...IC: Kinksh / Hidden BaseKinksh looked on with general disinterest."Jikal, your being here is now a pointless waste of your time. I'll open a portal to the Wall of History closets for you. From there, do as you see fit. I'll contact you later."And so it happened, and there it was. A portal to go.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: TrakudaA laser comes flying out and on to the wall behind me as I dive-roll out of the way. Then, at Ezraftin's words, I increase it's weight tremendously, even though it probably still won't do anything, and unleash a barrage of arm blaster shots from all sides by flying around it.

IC: Ezraftin / CPU RoomThe Nektanns leg began collapsing down at that one point, though the rest of its body was still the same. The arm blasters did little against its armor, unfortunately. But if the weight increase continued..."Keep increasing the weight! You can sever the leg from it!"Ezraftin began firing at the shield generators, slightly disrupting them as they began connecting to each other.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

OOC: Lev: We'll never know; it's been lost to time. ... At least, until IoP wins again. =P(Hence why Blade has selective amnesia about that. I don't know, and anything I say might be retconned. =P)Emissary: Wow. xD-==IC: Kairan==-Kairan chuckled, and nodded, figuring that'd be the best first step into figuring out what to do next.-==IC: Blade==-"You mean, swapping masks, so I could carry you, or you carry me?" Blade asked, not sure about that, even as he walked forward.

IC: TrakudaI nod wordlessly to Ezraftin, and increase the weight a hundredfold, whilst continuing to fire with my blasters, now specifically towards the leg.

IC: Watcher (NMN/Edubard):Watcher 'chuckled', "This Equinox is in the system, I can't track him down at the moment, but I know he's here. Now, what do you want to know?"

IC-Kal:"I just came to check up on you, Mars," Kal said, smiling. He crossed his arms and leaned back on the wall, thinking. Something just seemed off about Mars. She didn't care how much blood she lost...she even managed to rip her own heart out and put it back. He looked at the medical research paper he had...she had a completely normal-seeming anatomy, and yet...something just wasn't right.Kal sent a nurse to go get a clean banadage as he sat on the edge of Mars's bed. "So, I take it you were rather hungry?" He asked, still smiling.

IC: New Metru NuiArketh had appeared in the skies over New Metru Nui, searching first for a suitable point to stay. He settled for one of the tallest buildings of the city, taking a perch on its sublimed rooftop and folding up his wings. From here, the city surrounded him from all directions, giving him a broad view of the entire place. Shifting the tiny lights in his eye sockets from the buildings, Arketh gazed at Blacklight, releasing his grip on the sword for possibly the first time since he won it. His strips unfurled, two of which wrapped around the weapon and held it before the skeleton, while the rest flapped gently on the winds around him. The entire scene gave him a sinister aura as he sat there."Look at this place," Arketh said, his whispery voice audiable only to Blacklight. "Where to begin? How to begin?" Although it amused him much before, ambushing targets with fields of darkness and his tendrils would not just do anymore. This blade gave him more power and a wider range of abilities -- and higher ambitions. He would not be satisfied with just scares anymore."We have so much to plan, and plenty of time to do it," His eyes moved from Blacklight to the city below. "I can see it now." Buildings would burn in black fire, citizens would be fleeing for their lives and in fear, and their leader in his claws...

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung had maintained mental contact with Song, listening to her conversationg with Aurellia. He snorted, then turned, noticing a shadowy being dropping in on top of Dorian's mansion. He growled, preparing to unfurl his wings and fly after to attack.An unknown being has entered the city, he thought to Song. I feel I should engage, but should I initiate a mental probe first? You know, something a little different from my direct methods.

IC: Mars thumbed to the tray beside her bed. It was totally clean, save for the shredded Tahu Burger packaging that adorned it to form Matoran; the bits of paper had been placed to form 'SCREW INFIRMARY FOOD-I'M PARTYING'."As ever," She said with a small shrug. "Think I've got a bit of a rep for it-not that a newb like you'd know."

IC: Lekar (City Square)Lekar finished the last slice of pizza and sat back with a happy sigh. Content, he leaned back, pulled a fedora from his hyperspace pocket, and put it on, covering his eyes. A few seconds later, light snores were heard from the Toa. IC: Krash (Krahzia)He was still wandering around walking into random things. Whack. Thud. Thunk. Thawck. Tink. Eventually, he fell over and simply started to giggle insanely and uncontrolably. "Teeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee" Zakaro

IC-Kal:"I know more than you think," he said, smiling gently. "And I feel you weren't joking with your first question, were you?" the Toa of Plasma asked, chuckling lightly."Well, Mars, there's something I want you to be a part of. First, though, tell me about yourself, if only to help me confirm my choice." He put his chin on his hand, looking intently at the 'Matoran' before him."I'd love to know."

IC: "Oh, the usual," Mars said with a shrug. "Was a matoran merc back on our lovely 'lil' planet. Got a few implants, got on board," She continued. "I joined the CHI after the crash-no private labs to guard 'n' whatnot. Tha'sall."Believable, as there isn't much on me. But he might have meant it another way...

IC: Amalia:Amalia giggled, taking her mask off silently."Yes. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to hurry my way the Karz out of here."

IC: Song"Yes." Song said out loud. "I'll assist you."Bolstering Aclaraubg's own efforts with her mind, the two began to reach out....

IC-Kal:Kal shook his head. "That's not what I meant," he said, his smile dropping slightly as he proved Mars's suspicions correct. "I want to know about your personality, what makes you tic. I said tell me about yourself, not your history."

IC: Blacklight / New Metru-Nui"Let the blood drop from my tip, and you will become stronger still. Seek out the strong and cast them to the earth..."Blacklight could feel another telepathic presence worming its way into its wielders mind. "Starting with the foolish psionics who are attempting to infiltrate your weak, mortal mind..."IC: Ezraftin / CPU of Tech TowerEzraftin rose his axe up as the leg was ripped off, and the Nektann fell to the ground, unable to stand. Its legs began to readjust, and then it stood once, now will only three legs rather than four.As the robot released another barrage of weak lasers, Ezraftin overloaded the energy release a second time, and the robot suffered violent explosions across its midsection. The shields went down, though not the anti-gravity fields."Kill it now!" he shouted, preparing to charge forward. He stopped suddenly, completely paralyzed, and fell to his knees, his mask glowing slightly.That left Hrunja and Trakuda to do the work.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung growled both audibly and mentally. There was another, much more powerful presence there, one which was even more alien than the shadowy being in the first place. It was abnormally strong, too, to the point that it could contend against Aclaraung's will.

IC: New Metru NuiArketh shot up from his perch in response, beginning to feel the foreign minds boring into his own. Annoyed and iritated thoughts boiled in his head, becoming apparent to those intruders as he tried pushing them out.The skeleton of Shadow swiftly reached out with a bony arm and grapped Blacklight's handle. Whatever mind-benders were attempting to infiltrate his mentality would be his first kills, he decided.

IC: SongSong could feel the color if Arketh's emotions, and her eyes widened.Determined now, she shoved against his defenses. As a Toa of Psionics, she was by far Arketh's better in mental combat.

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung growled. However, he felt Song's mental attack, as though she were pushing against Arketh's mental defenses. He figured he would help. He added his willpower to the attack, and shaped it, in a sense. The mental attack was now more of a spear to pierce through Arketh's defense, rather than hands trying to push through them.

OOC: Thanks Belthnor, for the banner. =)-==IC: Blade==-Blade nodded, as he took his own mask off, and swapped it for Amalia's, handing her his mask, as he put on the Kakama."Right then, let's go." Blade said, hoping that there was a way to actually stop, if needed.OOC: This should be fun, he's never used a Kakama. =P

OOC: Rule of cool demands this be how telepathy works.IC: Blacklight / New Metru-NuiAs Song pushed through into Arketh's mind, the thought 'projection' of her came upon the swirling mass where Kopraga nested himself, a link between Blacklight and Arketh for him to use. As both he and Song were being projected from different points, they were now facing each other from within the mind of the skeleton being."What is it you seek, psionicist?" the being demanded. For lack of no better form, the 'projection' appeared as Arketh, though... off.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

OOC: You're welcome. I still need to get my profiles in, but I was busy. I'll PM you it so I don't mess with the RP topic.IC: Amalia:"Okay then. Make sure you don't slam us into the walls, thank you very much," Amalia joked, although a small bit was with worry.

IC: New Metru NuiThe combined push against his mental buckler caused Arketh to reel back a little, especially's Aclaraung's modified shove. So, that was how they wanted to play? Mental battles weren't his usual type of combat, but he was certain he could hold his own with his ancient mind. Even if he couldn't, there was quick a way out.By using telepathy to access his mind, Song and her dragon-like companion had opened themselves up for attack. Whatever was occuring in his head, they would see it. Exploiting that advantage, Arketh (now aware of the events between Kopraga and the Toa of Psionics in his mind) directed his attack against Aclaraung so as to not interupt the conversation. It manifested as a giant skull -- similar to his own face -- racing toward him, uttering a horrible, blaring scream to disrupt the invader's concentration.

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung barely noticed the skull as it flew past him, so intent was he on his work. He continued his attack on Arketh's mind as he watched Kopraga, the demon's form manifesting like a half-transparent spirit just before Arketh-he only saw that due to his method of attack.We wish to know why you are here, Demon, he growled. And why you have brought your slave with you.

OOC: @Xemnas - We're pretty sure everyone else is there. IC: Emma - CitadelEmma, now getting closer to her full strength back, wound her way through the building, finally coming out to the lobby."Helloooooo," she called out, "Anyone home?"-Void
