IC: SkyraSkyra looked at Laserbeak's expression, it was starting to get to him. "Alright, I need to know, what's on your mind Laserbeak? I need to know or I'll be eaten alive with worry." His voice was toned with concern.
IC-Ryllia:Ryllia hugged Onuzek tighter, definitely afraid of heights. "Just...just don't drop me," she squeaked, trying to avoid looking at the ground. "And whenever they say we can go down, you better get down there fast," she threatened, holding her eyes shut.
IC: Onuzek"Why would Onuzek drop Ryllia?" he asked.Although he did wrap his arm around her, just to be sure.OOC: Dawwww.......... ![]()
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak's head swiveled to look at Skyra. Her eyes were sharper, and more dangerous even than when she and Skyra fought in the hospital. "What is on my mind is what needs to be done." Her gaze sharpened further. "And more importantly what I am willing to do to ensure the proper outcome."
IC: SkyraSkyra just nodded to Laserbeak. "Very well, I just want you to know...I've got your back. I'm not even gonna question your methods in this, cause your right, we need to make sure the proper outcome...happens." Morally gray? Can I handle that? Skyra thought about it, considering everything he'd been through so far, and what he'd done... Yep...
IC-Ryllia:"The way you are, I wouldn't be surprised if you did drop me," Ryllia shrieked, slipping slightly. She clung onto Onuzek, and punched him in the arm when he started chuckling.IC-Jaron:Jaron flew up by Onuzek and Ryllia. "Are you two having fun?" He asked them, jokingly, winking at Onuzek.
IC: Tillian (Flying, Ga-Wahi)Tillian pulled the Sitrep out of his pocket and read it over.Feyrren,We have received word from one of our sources in Po-Koro. Six Rahkshi have attacked the village. Casualty reports are unknown, but it appears that one Rahkshi was killed. I'm putting a tail on the Toa of Gravity that did it: he killed the thing in single combat, and there's no way someone that powerful can exist without trying to destroy us. Orders from the head of the Guild are to assassinate without hesitation. Be extremely careful.Pollux.P.S. The Toa appears to be a member of the Po-Koro Guard, and an extremely high-ranking one at that. Make it look like an accident.Tillian's eyes began to well up in tears, and he crumpled up the Sitrep, throwing it into the water below him.-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak guessed what was running through Skyra's mind, and laughed bitterly. "Skyra. I know what you're thinking. Let's face it. I'm not the lawful good. At best, I'm chaotic good." Her eyes narrowed. "I am the living definition of 'gray area'."
IC: OnuzekHe turned around to Jaron, now flying sideways, and said, "Uh huh."Clearly not understanding what Jaron had meant.
IC: Skyra"Yeah well, I maybe be working for the law, but you know I not exactly um...by the book, if I was, I wouldn't of ever ended up with you." He said with a wink. "And...the gukko force is...more open to morally gray than you think...especially these days."
IC-Jaron:Jaron rolled his eyes, speeding up to head alongside Tillian. When he caught up, however, he saw Tillian throwing something into the water. Jaron swooped down, catching the paper just before it landed, unfolding it and reading it. He sighed, and tossed it away.He flew up beside Tillian. "Not a good SitRep, is it?" He said bitterly. "Nothing good seems to be going on." However, at the risk of losing his balance, he leaned over and patted Tillian on the back."Don't worry, mate," he said, giving his trademark Jaron grin. "I've got your back."
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak shook her head. "I'm past even the Force's definition of gray area. You saw me in the Inn." She shook her head again. "You trusted me not to go too far, and I appreciate it. But the truth is, I would've done what had to be done. Including murder."
IC: ReaverThe Scarred Toa was behind Emotia, who looked rather worried. 'Something on your mind?'
IC: Tillian (Surfing, Ga-Wahi)"Yeah, I know," said Tillian, banking low on his board and skimming the water. For a moment, he could close his eyes and pretend the last few days had been nothing but a bad dream, and for a fraction of that moment, he believed it. Then, he opened his eyes, and there was the rest of the group above him.He sighed and pulled up regretfully from the Ga-Wahi waters, meeting up with his team in the air above.-Teezy
IC: SkyraSkyra looked at her with a sad smile. "I understand...though...is it murder if it's to protect others? She did hurt Tillian after all...it wasn't like anyone was gonna object to her death..." Still, even as he said this...he wondered if he could ever bring himself to do....whatever it took to get the job done...maybe he had too, maybe it was the only way to take these people down. Throwing them in jail, or banishment...the gukko force's way of usually dealing with criminals....those didn't seem like a very effective options anymore...IC: EmotiaLooked at Reaver, who was riding on the same Gukko as her, sitting right behind her. "I....I'm scared for Tillian, and the other...non-mark bearers...what if...the other mark bearers kill them...." She said this so softly that only Reaver could hear.
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak returned the sad smile. "Maybe it wouldn't have been murder. But I can guess what is going through you're head. I said I hate killing. And it's true. But I am guilty of falsehood by omission." She sighed. "I said my function in the group was spy and field medic. I left one out. My most important role by far was that of interrogator."
IC: Tillian (Surfing, Ga-Wahi)'Soaring between the trees, Tillian landed on the water again and caught a wave expertly, riding it for a good ten seconds before it broke and Tillian readjusted his board. It looked seamless, almost as if Tillian had adjusted the board with his elemental power, but it was just skilled surfing: a skill you picked up after so many years on the water.He smiled sadly. He had missed all of this...-Teezy
IC: Reaver'Emotia, I promise to never let that happen. No harm will come to Tillian or any of the others, even if it means giving my own life.' She gave a reassuring smile.
IC: NikilaShe had been swimming under the water, thanks to her fins and Mask of Water Breathing. She was alone with her thoughts for a while. Although nat all good thoughts. She didn't know if everyone would make it out of this one alive.
IC: Skyra"Oh...yeah...you did sorta leave though part out...though it's not like the gukko force doesn't interrogate...I mean, I've done a few mys- okay...I have to ask, how far do you usually go with your interrogations?" He was not sure he'd like the answer, then again...he didn't like any of this, people were trying to kill Tillian....and something had to be done to stop it. IC: EmotiaEmotia hugged Reaver with one arm. "Thanks, I'll be doing the same. I'm glad we got each other's backs."
IC-Jaron:Jaron, bored, decided to try and do what Tillian had. He lightly touched his shield to the water, relinquishing control of the updraft beneath it-and promptly fell over into the water, losing his balance.He came up, sputtering, and grabbed his crutch. "Why is that so bloody hard?" He nearly yelled. "Every time I try, every bloody time, that always happens." He climbed up onto his shield, content to just float along while laying on it.
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak's eyes were dark as she answered. "It all depended on how cooperative they were. Sometimes, all I had to do was threaten. Other times, things went...... Farther. Much farther. I can guarantee farther than anything the Force would even consider."
IC: Tillian (Traveling, Ga-Wahi)Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Tillian saw something: a Toa of Electricity, grinning and brandishing an axe in the treeline. Tillian's memory kicked into overdrive, and he suddenly realized he had seen the Toa-in Le-Koro. The thought had just entered his mind when the tree fell, moving to crush Emotia and Reaver."Get back!" he yelled, surfing towards the tree and barely managing to cut off the Gukko. He had just enough time to grin triumphantly before a huge stray branch knocked Tillian off his board and sent him flying to the ground below.OOC: Last post for the night, guys.-Teezy
IC: Tank - Ga-WahiTank stepped past Kinvex as Angelus knelt next to Utu, "We have. But there are better ways than attacking an entire group of beings to feed."Tank stepped forwards again, pointing at each being he spoke of minus himself, "I am Tank, Pain. This is Utu, Fear, and that's Dorian, Anger. Kinvex, Tuara, Angelus."IC: Utu - Ga-WahiUtu winced as Angelus started on the wound, initially his first reaction was to twist the Toa's neck around, but he thought better of it. Angelus' death was not something that was required. At least, not yet. Not in the foreseeable future. Any of them.Unless he and Dorian couldn't get any information from them.And the newcomer, that would make things more interesting. The fact the being simply was here, was testament to what Utu had been thinking about for years. Destiny. At first he didn't believe in it at all, simply, not seeing the point. But when a being with a Mark on his arm shows up in the middle of Ga-Wahi of all places, while others like him are trying to assemble...Tank was right. Something was happening.IC: Tuara - Ga-WahiTuara shook her head and paced back and forth, muttering under her breath, "I can't do this."She continued to pace as Tank stepped forwards and Angelus bent down to examine Utu's self inflicted wound.
IC: KraynKrayzn watched Tuara pace. After a moment, "Widget for your thoughts. Or for an explanation of what the karz is going on. Whichever you prefer."
IC: Skyra Skyra was about to answer Laserbeak when he heard Tillian yell, and then get sent flying to the ground. Without a word he quickly had Destiny change her course to the ground below. He prayed to the great beings that he was alright.IC: EmotiaThe Gukko stopped in it's tracks in surprise when Tillian got in the way, then a branch hit Tillian and sent him crashing to the ground. "Tillian!" Emotia cried out! The gukko made it's way to the ground.
IC: OnuzekHe saw the tree fall, and also saw it flying towards the group. he also saw Tillian get knocked off the board towards the ground.The massive Toa reached out with his element, and slowed Tillian to a stop above the ground."Who was that?" he asked before saying to Ryllia, "See, Onuzek won't drop Ryllia."
IC-Jaron:Jaron didn't really notice what was happening, until he saw the tree bearing down on him too. Normally he would have been scared, but he was too calm for that today. He held up his hand, blasting through part of the tree with his fire.The tree, now seperated into halves, fell around him. He then paddled over to shore, checking on Tillian. "Is he alright?" He asked Onuzek, concerned.
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak dropped to the ground near Tillian. She stood by, in case her assistance was needed. She didn't know Tillian's condition. He seemed okay, but looks could be deceiving.IC: RavageIronically, this was occurring about twenty yards ahead of Ravage, carefully, the Rahi-Toa crept forward, and saw Laserbeak. He gestured for Tehlin to follow. "Laserbeak? Is that you?"
IC: SavinaSavina was completely confused, first, she'd heard a tree falling. After that, Ravage called out to someone named Laserbeak. Great, new strangers she didn't know, especially when she was hurt like this...that made her really uncomfortable. OOC: Darn it Karyzikk...you're dragging Savina into this too? I don't want all my characters to have killers chasing them! ![]()
OOC: Hey, Ravage was gonna meet Laserbeak again eventually. Besides, Savina doesn't have anyone chasing her yet.IC: Laserbeak + RavageLaserbeak spotted Savina. "Karz, Ravage, what have you done this time?"The Rahi-Toa looked affronted. "I didn't do it."Laserbeak approached, and carefully started looking over Savina's wound. It would probably hurt a little. "It's alright dear, I'm here to help."
IC - Yuru - Aftermath"Point taken."He examined the surrounding company for the first time. He'd beaten them more easily then expected, but he knew he couldn't do it again. It had been surprise, mostly."I'll assist you on whatever quest you are on, but I request one thing. A 'pet' of sorts. Someone to feed upon."
IC: SavinaSavina nearly jerked back in surprise, but then relaxed when Laserbeak spoke. "O-okay." She said, looking at Laserbeak's unique mask design, "I...I like your mask...it's pretty." She said, trying her best to ignore the pain.
IC: TehlinThe Toa of Plant Life grunted, "Yeah, nice mask."He wasn't too happy with the fact that one of Ravage's friends was here.
IC: Laserbeak"Thank you." Laserbeak replied. She quietly sighed with relief. Savina's wound wasn't terrible, relatively shallow. "Alright, this is going to sting." She carefully removed the arrow, and applied a few herbs she always carried with her, and bandaged the wound using the lining of her boot. Again. She looked at Tehlin. "So, Ravage. Never knew you to work with others."
IC: OnuzekHe shrugged, "Tillian should be fine. Onuzek caught him before he hit the ground."The large Toa looked at Ryllia, who was still hugging him, "Uh... We're on the ground now...."
IC-Ryllia:Ryllia still had her eyes closed. "Then why do I still feel like I'm up in the air?" She snapped, unwilling to open her eyes. She felt that if she did she'd most likely plummet down to the earth, crashing into a bloody heap.
IC: Tehlin"Travel might be a better word," he replied."By the way, where's Zauk?"IC: ZaukHe continued to paint what he saw, letting nothing interrupt his work. Even the tree falling.IC: OnuzekHe shrugged again. The big Toa kinda liked Ryllia hugging him.
IC: SavinaSavina winced from the stinging, then relaxed as Laserbeak bandaged the wound. "Thank you." she said rather meekly, she felt kinda tired as well.IC: SkyraSkyra limped his way over to Laserbeak, as he had sorta abandoned his wheelchair in Le-koro, he seemed to be managing just fine though, not in too much pain.Skyra looked at Ravage, with a rather indifferent face, he'd never faced the Rahi-Toa in the hospital, not directly anyway, so he didn't really feel any grudge against him. He looked at Savina and Tehlin. "Hello there, I'm Commander Skyra of the Gukko Force." He said, waving.Savina perked up at the name Skyra...and Gukko Force, it sounded really familiar. "Skyra...I remember a matoran of that name...." she muttered, but this Toa couldn't be that matoran...could he?
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak stood, and spoke to Savina. "That should heal pretty quickly, but you shouldn't walk too much yet. I can untie you, but consider Ravage your personal steed."Ravage stared at Skyra intently, pausing only to growl at Laserbeak. Laserbeak raised an eyebrow.
