BZPRPG: Onu-Wahi

IC (Voi and Voima, Onu-Wahi):"You mean fighting Toa with Gravity powers?" Voi asked.

IC: [stronin]"No, triumphing over the impossible, unstoppable and invincible."

IC (Voi and Voima, Onu-Wahi):"Well, in that case, you are exactly what we need", Voi said.

IC: [stronin]"Thanks for the compliment. Now let's get moving shall we?"

IC:"Where do you think he is? Trad?""No idea. But can you think of anywhere he would go to get a new mask?" Trad asked. "Especially after she-" she indicated Kreigero "-took away his mask?"

IC (Voi and Voima, Onu-Wahi):Now, Voima thought. He took out his new drill he had bought from Zemya, and punched it in the earth next to him. Voima had been busy after getting his Akaku. He had found this good spot and calculated it was underneath the Hura Mafa River. He had used the drill to dig until a small trickle of water had been formed. Now, as Voi's group approached, Voima finalized his work, making water spill into the tunnel. Voima had checked that the tunnel sloped downward towards the Ta-Koro end. That meant the water rushed towards Voi and his friends, not towards Voima, who was on the other side.Pleased by his work, Voima ran to Onu-Koro.Voi and his company could immediately hear the rush of the water."What...", Voi managed to say before the wave collided, sending everyone hurtling back with the water. Worst of all, the water filled the whole tunnel. There was no chance to get any air. Voi was in a very bad condition. Air types usually were, when it came to water. Voi's lungs were filled with water, and he started to pass out.And so the end of the heroes came coming... way too fast.

IC: [stronin]Stronin had barely managed to get a gasp of air when the torrent struck. He quickly swam deeper into the water, searching the tunnel floor for something to grab hold of, allowing him to stay in position. He managed to quickly find a rock embedded in the earth, and grabbed on, using all the willpower he could spare to activate his powers.A wall of iron formed in front of him, blocking the water from continuing down the tunnel. It buckled slightly, but as he continued to add more power, it began to strengthen, holding up against the water. This allowed the water that had been trapped on his side to slowly recede away into the tunnel, returning them to dry(-ish) land once more."You guys ... " he gasped, "okay?"

IC (Voi and Voima, Onu-Wahi, Ta-Onu-tunnel):"Um... yeah", Voi said, gagging and spitting the water out of his lungs. "No problem... absolutely no problem at all."Voi glanced at the iron wall."But you also effectively blocked us from going to Onu-Koro that way. And since the water can't flow here... it might flood Onu-Koro!"*Voima whistled as he approached the Onu-Po-tunnel. He saw the small group of Ussal crabs, chirping, waiting for a command to take someone to the Po-Wahi desert.Voima chose a strong-looking Ussal and sat on it. The Ussal started running along the tunnel, taking Voima away from Onu-Koro.OOC: Voima to Po-Wahi.

IC: [stronin]"Not our problem, besides, the Onu-Koronans can deal with it. They're resourceful people. Now come on, let's take another way."A spade materialised in his hands."Ever tried digging?"

IC (Voi, Ta-Onu-tunnel):"Not our problem?" Voi said, surprised by Stronin's lack of concern over the Onu-Matoran drowning. "Well, sir, if you say so. I wouldn't suggest digging, though. You might break into some more water.""Look to your left", Henkka told Stronin. "That's a good spot to start digging. It will lead you to another tunnel you can use to get to the village. As for the Onu-Matoran, they will be all right. The water won't reach the village. They'll have to build a new Ta-Onu-tunnel though."

IC: [stronin]"Don't worry, my magical pixie friend tells me that there's a tunnel to the left to us."

IC (Voi, Ta-Onu-tunnel):"What?!" Voi exclaimed. Had Stronin lost his mind? "What makes you think there's a tunnel next to us? This Wahi is full of tunnels, sure, but they might not be on the same level as this one. We might have to dig forever. I suggest we go back to Ta-Koro, avoid the guards, go to the beach, get a boat to Ga-Koro, then take another to Po-Wahi, where we can use the Po-Onu-tunnel to get to Onu-Koro..."Voi sighed. He could just laugh at himself right now. "Sounds easy and simple, eh?"

IC: [stronin]"Voi, just trust me."And the Toa began to dig - quickly and efficiently. With his Toa-level strength, he soon managed to hit thin air, and smiled as he saw the lighted tunnel on the other side."Any objections milord?"

IC (Voi, Onu-Wahi):"Depends", Voi said. "Does this tunnel lead to Onu-Koro?"

IC: [stronin]"I trust my magic pixie friend, so yes."

IC (Voi, Onu-Wahi):"Whatever", Voi said and began walking in the tunnel."Onu-Koro is in the opposite direction", Henkka told Stronin.

IC: [stronin]"Wrong way Voi, Onu-Koro, according to my magic pixie friend, is the other way."

IC (Voi, Onu-Wahi):"Oh, just shut up about your pixies", Voi said, annoyed, as he turned around and walked the other way.

IC: [stronin]"My more logical explanation would be unbelievable though."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"It isn't logical then, now is it?"*The group finally did reach Onu-Koro, as Henkka had promised."Where to now?" Voi asked. "We have no idea where Voima is. He might as well be in another Koro by now."

IC: [stronin]"You're the leader on this little quest. I'm just following you. So, you decide."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):Voi was a bit startled to hear Stronin call him a leader. It felt weird, somehow."I have no idea where he might have gone", Voi admitted. "Our only chances are searching this village for someone who has seen him, or go search each village, one by one, ourselves. I suggest we look for eye-witnesses.""I know where Voima is", Henkka told Stronin. "But there's one important thing I must tell you. Voi must not find that treasure."

IC: [stronin]"Because he, despite being somewhat of a good person, is motivated by greed for power?" he asked mentally. "Or is it something else?""Sounds logical."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"I think we'd better split up", Voi said. "That way we can cover this village much quicker."Henkka's voice filled Stronin's mind. "You know the Great Beings, don't you?"

IC: [stronin]"Alright.""The guys who sent Mata Nui here from Paradise? Other than that, nope."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):Voi went to work immediately, asking bypassers if they had seen a Toa of Gravity around."Yes, those Great Beings", Henkka said. "Without them, our world would not exist. But while there are creators like them, there are also those who wish nothing would've ever come to being. In other words, those who would be more than happy to see the world created by the Great Beings be demolished forever. In need of a better name, they are called Evil Beings."

IC: [stronin]"That, funnily enough, is the most amusing thing I've heard today."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"I can tell you, they are not funny at all", Henkka said. "You are very lucky there are none on this island... or are there? What do you think, Stronin?"

IC: [stronin]"From your explanation, there'd be none, or we'd be dead."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"Yes... except if those Evil Beings are constricted... bound to the same kind of biomechanical existence you, and everyone you know, are", Henkka said. "Although the Great Beings were responsible for sending Mata Nui, they were not more powerful than he is. Therefore it's logical that the Evil Beings are not above Mata Nui on their power level either. But Mata Nui is alseep, and if an Evil Being should ever emerge, he would be unable to stop the destruction."

IC: [stronin]"Well that's rather depressing."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"Which is exactly why you need to stop Voima from finding the treasure, but also making sure Voi doesn't get it", Henkka said.

IC: [stronin]"Meh, I'll just give it to Soli to melt down and turn into a sword then."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"You seem to think this treasure is no more than a piece of equipment", Henkka said. "But no, this is not your usual metallic shield or club."

IC: [stronin]"Does it sell for high prices?"

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"You know better than that", Henkka said. "Don't act like you've never seen real power before."

IC: [stronin]"Touché. So it's something that people would kill for. Which means it's probably very dangerous. Well bugger."

IC (Voi, Onu-Koro):"Yes, you do understand", Henkka's voice sounded relieved. "Now remember what I told you and keep Voi near you. Don't let him out of your sight."

IC: Hantak had been wallking down the tunnel for some time when he noticed something. Earth was beginning to fall from the roof behind him. At first he thought nothing of it, but then it started falling at a much faster pace. He now knew what was happening. He began to run as fast as he could down the tunnel, hoping to avoid the collapse. Finally, he came into Onu-Wahi, barely escaping the collapse. He walked into Onu-Koro, trying to avoid suspicion.OOC: Open to interaction.

IC:"WELL, THAT'S JUST GREAT! I HAVE WATER IN MY EARS AND IT SEEMS YOU STAYED HIGH AND DRY, WHILE I HAVE TO SOAK AND GET VERY COLD!" yelled Trad, stalking to the nearest heat vent. Ire rolled her eyes amusedly. Trad was prone to those sort of outrages and they were an effect of his ex comedian days.She looked around to find anyone who could lead them to the right direction. She approached many scary looking people, but nothing turned up.
