BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: "So ya want a weapon, laddie? I am a weaponsmith! And I can trace the history of any weapon to more effectively repair it, and even improve it! If I can figure out how to do that, that is."Tahuva turned to ARgentum. "Yes. You are familiar with him. However, you are wrong on one point. For long range combat he can channel his element through a specialized cannon. Unless he's running low on energy, the cannon fires a bigger and stronger blast than any Toa aside from the great Tahu could ever do.""He scares me the most, that one. I don't know how he ever got back to life, but he's dangerous! Now what were ya wantin, laddie?" He was ready to make or repair a weapon for Argentum.

IC: ArgentumArgentum: A knife. Balanced for throwing, and the handle should be made of metal too. The Skakdi has an element? He shouldn't be able to use it unless there's another Skakdi around.....

OOC: Hakann and Thok's weapons let them channel their powers, saw it on BS01. And before you go all "Hakann had a limited shots thingy" look at Thok.IC: Que got to work. He remembered a few throwing knives quite well. Soon a knife like Argentum wanted was ready. "There. Want me to add a spring-loaded feature, or is this enough?"

OOC: Because the 2 of them were in close vicinity of each other. If they weren't, they had no elemental powers.IC: ArgentumArgentum: Its fine. Thanks.

OOC: Look up Lava Launcher and Ice Gun. Those weapons let them freely fire (though Hakann had to do so with loaded bullets, while Thok could draw straight from his powers and fire it out).IC: Que handed him the weapon. "Say, how are ya gonna use all those blades ya got there? And what was your name again? Artichoke? Alfalfa? Algebra? Algorithm?""No no no, you heard him wrong. His name is Toilet.""Ah, there we go. Nice to meet you, Toilet."OOC: This post does not reflect my opinions of you personally. At all. XD

OOC: Ahh. But did you ask a moderator or something?IC: ArgentumArgentum: Yeah, my name is Toilet. Without me, you'd all die due to pressure.

OOC: No, but 1. I can change it to a Zamor Launcher that fires oversized zamors if they have a problem. And 2. I assumed Skakdi had that kind of tech. It's not like I pulled a Zaktan and turned him into protodites..IC: "Ha-ha. Very funny, Argentum.""I thought you said his name was Toilet!""No, I was joking. His real name is Turd.""Oh, hi Turd!"Tahuva let them joke around. As long as it didn't get TOO loud or annoying...

OOC: Dunno, just that everyone else's Skakdi don't have such kind of power.IC: ArgentumArgentum: Yeah. I make you a normal person, but I can also make you explode in pain.

OOC: Stupid timezones... Always making me miss fights...IC: Blackout had hung back for most of the battle, as his face still hurt after being shot by Galvatroth. It appeared that their leader had become quite insane while he was dead.At Galvatroth's command, he retreated with the other Phantoms.

OOC: Thanks, Void! Your patience is appreciated.IC: AkiniiAkinii attempted to move backwards, out of the way of Rynekk's fist. The punch grazed the Toa of Ice, leaving little in the way of damage, although it hurt like heck. He returned the favor by yanking out one of his swords, coating it in a thick layer of ice, and swinging the weapon powerfully towards Rynekk's legs.IC: Divinex Divinex activated his Mask of Stealth, moving nearer to Plagia and to the right. Setting his mace ablaze, he threw it at Plagia, then ran towards the Toa of Lightning, getting ready to send an intense blast of fire at her. Naturally, his unreliable Volitak bugged out right after he chucked the mace. Man, I need a new mask.

IC(Zand): "Mevi...seems like a nice one. So, any luck with the Turaga?"

IC (Madrihk):"No, not at all. Turaga Vakama wasn't free to chat with, and by the time he was, I had already left. I figured that he couldn't really do much for us anyways, when everyone else is also competing for his attention and endorsement. We'll have Vakama hear of us through others. That will make him more keen on talking with us, I'm sure."Madrihk looked around at the people running around, doing their own thing. The Toa of Ice was certain he heard at least one fight going on."Bah. This village doesn't seem to hold much for us. The only person to even notice us was that Ta-Matoran guard."He cupped his mouth with his hands and shouted at the general crowd:"So if there are no one else who wants to see a free island, I'd say we pack up and leave."

IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak decided that she wasn't needed, but remained alert in case she was. She returned to Skyra and held out her hand to help him up. She didn't have a lot of strength, but she should manage to get him over there. Her head would hate her, but still.

IC: SkyraSkyra took her hand, "Thanks." He said as cheerfully as he could despite the pain and the current situation.

"Is there anything I can do?" he asks Takimoc upon taking a step back. Riaril was alive, but wasn't in the best condition.-Mef Man

IC: Laserbeak and KrayzikkLaserbeak grimaced as she helped Skyra to his feet. "You are welcome." She then smirked. "Consider us even for not slitting my throat."Krayzikk paced. Granted, he never strayed more than 3 feet away from Riaril, but he paced nonetheless. He was worried and it showed. It was probably the most anxious anyone had ever seen him. He wanted to do something, but this wasn't an enemy he could fight with his fist. Like Tarn, this was an enemy that all he could do was sit back and hope.

IC - Naryth Zenoklass - DebutEven as they spoke, a tall being approached. His boots hit the ground hard, testifying to his strength and radiant power. The Xian had the firepower to destroy a good few of the Xanthium, but it wouldn't be fun if he didn't get a challenge. Picking off one would be for intimidation, but his natural persona did that.A shadow fell over them. He was a good few feet taller than Tahuva. "Play nice, boys. Where are my men?"

OOC: ... Is that ... Jhiaxus?IC: [Stronin]"Hey Soli, why was your bro somewhat scared of you?"

IC: Tahuva knew a Deceptoa when he saw one. "We have forced them to retreat and wounded their leader. What is your business here?""Erhm..what? He's one of them?" Barricade stepped forward. "No doubt about it. Look him over. Listen to his voice and words.""I'm sure we can find a peaceful solution to all this...""Not with a Deceptoa." Dervian formed a wind shuriken, since this guy was even bigger than Tahuva, he'd need to pull out the big attack.Dino activated his mask and got behind Naryth.OOC: No, Jhiaxus is a different guy.

IC - Naryth Zenoklass - Speaking"I won't fight you..."He grinned, "Because you would be no challenge."Naryth Zenoklass kept hearing them speak."Deceptoa? Is that what they call themselves? What are you supposed to be called? 'Truthicles?'" he boomed, laughing at his own joke.One of them dissapeared. Gee, he really wondered where they went. His kick flew out behind him, striking the Toa in the chest."Anyone else want to fight me as a coward?"OOC: Minor autohit, but it's justified, as:1. Dino wouldn't expect him to calculate his position.2. It came pretty fast.

IC: VelanShe activated her mask as well, but didn't move anywere. Instead she felt content to wait and sit this situation out.That is, unless a fight broke out.

IC: Sweat trickled down Takimoc's brow. This was the third time his scalpel had almost slipped so far-and he was only starting on Riaril's nose.'Expert surgeon'...It's meaningless. I can't cut my own coworker.But the metal gradually disappeared regardless. Now the scent of burned meat filled the air as Takimoc carefully cut out the charred flesh beneath the metal.It burns.Darkness. A slow, torturous, FURNACE darkness that drowned in a sea of heat overpowering all.And now it cuts.Iinvisible blades pecked. They cut through the unseen fires...But did nothing to stop the pain as they themselves bit.Riaril floated in the darkness. She wanted to scream, but her mouth wouldn't open; wanted to see, but her eyes couldn't find light; wanted to find some evidence that she was still alive...Yet none was present.She was dead to the world.

"Hang on," Tairel says while gently wiping the sweat away from Takimoc's eyes. He made sure not to make the being accidentally cut Riaril, but if that sweat got in the Toa's eyes... It wouldn't help Riaril any.-Mef Man

OOC: One, his profile states he's two heads taller than a Toa. That means he's only half a head above Tahuva. XDTwo, how the Karz did he spot Dino? I'll let it slide, but you have to explain yourself in your next post.IC: Dino fell back. "OW! HOW THE KARZ?!" He wasn't even planning on attacking, but now he was! He charged a lightning blast..."Dino, stand down!" He looked up at the strange rude traveler. "If you are not a Deceptoa, you should be on your way. We are fighting a war. Although it is not between Koros and therefore small-scale, the war is actually more damaging than a war between Koros would be."OOC: That's true, to say the least. Imagine a load of Matoran running around fighting, and compare it to the events of the past few days.IC: "What is your name? I am Tahuva, leader of the Toa Xanthium."

IC: Takimoc stopped briefly to allow Tairel the removal of sweat. He kept still as possible; an impressive feat considering the circumstances.Good ol' steady hands.

Tairel leans stands up and leans against a nearby wall, ready to take over if Takimoc needed him to.-Mef Man

IC: Takimoc got right back to cutting. He was now starting to remove the charred flesh from the nose...Keeping mindful of the close proximity to Riaril's brain at all times. It was slow work by his standards due to the precision required. But the Ta-Toa was making progress and still making it at a rate most other surgeons would fail to achieve working with such a wound.

IC - Naryth - Talking"I am Naryth Zenoklass, taller than you." Zenoklass let the name sink in. It was old. It was terrifying. The older members had heard it, no doubt. The old leader. The original. He had killed many of them.He chuckled, "And coincidentally, about to be in control of the 'Deceptoa.' If you guys could beat them, they obviously need a better leader. Tell me, do you have any names?"The Vortixx then realized what he was asking."Oh, yes. Now that you know who I am, attack me in defense of your impending doom."

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk stopped pacing and knelt down nearby. He made sure not to be in the way when he did so. He carefully held her hand, hoping that just for once, everything would turn out okay.

OOC: Wait...is this guy...Unicron? If he is, his personality seems way off...AND TELL ME HOW YOU SPOTTED DINO!IC: The rudeness was really getting annoying. "I know that name." Tahuva pulled out his sword and axe. Barricade pulled out his claw and wheel whip. "Call me Barricade!""My name's Que, I'm gonna run and hide now!" He ran up to a watchtower and got some spring knives ready."That guy's the coward of the group. Unfortunately for you, I'm Dervian, probably the bravest of us!""Field medic Ratchet. Though I normally fix things..." He pulled out his saw and Blast Rod. "I don't mind wrecking them either.Dino vanished. "Dino, expert vanisher and not-so-expert at leaving Deceptoa alive!"Tahuva let loose a massive flame blast from both weapons while flying forward and spinning with weapons outstretched. He flew into the flame blast, creating a huge comet-like attack tipped with blades. "XANTHIUM, ATTACK!"Barricade used quicksand to trap Naryth. "You DEMON!" At the floor of the quicksand, earthen hands restrained Naryth and pulled him deeper in.Ratchet fired his Blast Rod, gravitizing Naryth deeper into the quicksand, while hammering and cutting him down into it with his saw.Barricade was also familiar enough with foreign tech to expect it to shoot him, a side effect of being a former Deceptoa. Knowing this, he activated his mask.Dino electrified the quicksand as a distracting and damaging attack. Rather than hurling a wind shuriken, which would send the quicksand flying away, he re-absorbed it and made wind blades, which would cut cleanly with no explosion. He threw them at Naryth from north, south, east, and west. And to finish it all, a rain of spring knives flew down to pin Naryth. "NOW, TAHUVA!"Tahuva flew inside his comet blade attack and slammed into Naryth full force, grinding into him and burning him profusely. Blood and flame exploded in all directions.OOC: Justified autohit, because he's in quicksand being gravitized and pulled down by stone hands while Barricade stops him from counterattacking and he's being electrocuted while being attacked with various blades and pinned down by bullet speed knives (which can be assembled because the spring forms inside the handle thanks to iron powers) and all those serve to hold him down so a huge attack stronger than all the other individual attacks can hit him.

OOC: If you're going to go caps on me, I'll let you read my posts again. He predicted it, and heard him walk. Plus, with all the lava, he saw his shadow. Volitak's are only very effective at night.And how do they keep creating quicksand? It'd need mud which needs water.IC - Naryth Zenoklass - FightingNaryth smiled, "Ah! Pyro. You remember me, don't you?"He pushed off the available ground, flipping up. As he was up, his plasma laser disentegrated the hands. The knives flew under him, the flames burned under as well.The blood, however, was Tahuva's. A lightning bolt hit him square in the back. There was hardly a chance of seeing it. As the smoke dissapated, Jhiaxus stepped out."I thought you lot were supposed to be proffesional." he cracked.

OOC: The quicksand is coming from him vibrating the earth so intensely in one spot that it just turns to mush. And is he Unicron or not?IC: As all the attacks missed, Tahuva spiraled anyway. A lightning bolt hit him in the back, but he fought the pain and used it to fuel his flames. Using rocket force and Kadin force combined, he appeared in front of Naryth and rammed him with the blades, even bigger flames than before, and it resulted in a massive explosion, wounding him.OOC: That's an autohit due to "He's just plain TOO FAST now." The rocket+lightning heat+Kadin made him as fast as a Kakama users.IC: Que saw Jhiaxus fire and shot at him with spring knives. Since he was in hiding, he expected at least his first few shots to make it without Jhiaxus noticing.

OOC: Tahuva, I advise giving people more time to respond to attacks next time. And waitasec...Even more important than that...How the HECK are the Xanthium members who JUST BECAME PART OF THE TEAM TWO SECONDS AGO having ANY level of coordinated attacking?EDIT: 'Fast as a Kakama user'...Do you even have any idea how physics-and bodies-work? No amount of heat resistance is going to protect you against how hot that would be...No amount of control would allow you to aim when your mind can not keep up with the speed like a Kakama-user's can.IC: Warmness suddenly engulfed Riaril's hand. A loving paw covered her fingers and kept them warm-safe-beyond the reach of the drowning black.Takimoc was halfway done with the nose. C'mon--And then Riaril's eyelids blinked lazily.The only thing keeping the surgeon from dropping his scalpel was his spartan training. And barely at that.

IC: Realizing how fast he was going, Tahuva slowed down a bit but expanded the flame radius to still prevent dodging. "HELP!"Ratchet gravitized Naryth's and Jhiaxus's feet so much that they couldn't walk at all, and standing would be harder than surviving in lava as a Ko-Matoran.Tahuva rushed forward, now with less speed, more control, a bigger blast, and a target that couldn't move.Barricade jumped between Tahuva and Jhiaxus, activating his Hau.Dino shot lightning at Naryth's weapons and body to stop him from counterattacking.OOC: They joined a few minutes ago, not two seconds ago. And they were recruited for a reason. Tahuva doesn't normally pick people who aren't pro fighters or pro at something useful.

OOC: And how does Tahuva have an unending supply of power? It seems like every blast is bigger than the last. Yes, based off Unicron, but changed.EDIT: I'm going to have to disregard that post a bit. Give me a chance to respond next time.IC - Galvatroth - FightJust as they were leaving, someone else arrived. He looked back. It couldn't be true...Naryth? He fired a cannon blast at Dino to show where he stood.Jhiaxus stopped the daggers in the air with his Matatu. A few fell to the ground. Two floated into his hands. He leaped forward in front of Naryth, jamming the knives into Tahuva's chest.Zenoklass, meanwhile, jumped to the side. He rained rapid fired at all the Xanthium.

IC: OnuzekHe stood off to the side, not very sure what he could do if things went wrong.

IC: Rynekk - Ta-Koro - Fighting AkiniiThose few moments it took for the ice to form on the sword gave Rynekk an edge. As the blade came, the Toa leaped into the air, bringing his knees up to his chin.He landed back down hard, but kept his balance. The Po-Toa glared at Akinii.'What business do you have here?! This is none of your concern!'IC: Plagia - Ta-Koro - Fighting DivinexPlagia almost managed to stop the mace. Almost.Caught off guard, the mace slammed into her, knocking to the floor. Blind with pain, she sent a storm of lightning spewing out in multiple directions, a maelstrom of electricity.-Void

IC: Krayzikk, Hopeful, HospitalKrayzikk hopes surged. He looked at Takimoc and asked, "That's good right? That's a good sign?" Krayzikk looked back to Riaril. Come on, if you are tough enough to scare me you are tough enough to pull through this.Soundblaster heard what sounded like a fight outside. He signaled to Ravage and both ran to investigate, yelling over his shoulder "I wil be back. I hear a fight, a little too close for my liking."OOC: That would be TNG and King he hears. Two Casseticons coming your way.

IC: Barricade saw Zenoklass's attack from the corner of his eye, and threw up an earth wall to block it. Galvatroth's blast shot Dino through tens of buildings, knocking him unconscious."STAND YOUR GROUND!" Tahuva blocked the daggers with his sword, then kicked Jhiaxus away.Ratchet lessened the gravity on Tahuva, while firing his Gravity Blast Rod at Zenoklass. "TAHUVA, DO THAT THING AGAIN!"While Dervian jumped behind Zenoklass and hurled Wind Shuriken, Tahuva came from the front performing his comet attack. Dervian kept control on the wind shuriken so that if they hit Tahuva, they could control the explosion and direct it at enemies.Que shot Jhiaxus and Galvatroth with spring knives, never running out of ammo because he was constantly making it.

IC - Brawl - FightBrawl tackled Barricade, knocking him out of the way even as Jhiaxus leaped past him, stabbing Tahuva as soon as Incinerator reversed the gravity.Shrapnel flew at the Xanthium, Naryth at its helm. Soundwave, high in the air, created painful sound in the ears of the Xanthium. Jhiaxus created an electromagnetic wave, even as he got to his feet again. The spring knives flew back at Que. This happened while Dervian had rocks thrown at him via Matatu.Galvatroth fired again, this time at Tahuva."Die, scum!"

IC: Soundblaster and Ravage, CombatSoundblaster spotted the fight in progress and more importantly, the Xantium. Time to teach those pricks a lesson. Soundwave began to emit an incredibly high pitched noise, causing great pain to all combatants save Galvatroth, Jhiaxusm and Zenoklass or other Deceptoa. To them, he said "All enemies of Xantium are friends of mine."OOC: Ninja'd
