BZPRPG: Onu-Wahi

IC:Tupua and Tosp pushed their way through the crowd of Onu-Matoran going about their shopping in the market-square, trying not to be too rough while keeping up their chase after the Skakdi that had stolen Tupua's money. A shot echoed from behind them, grazing the brute on the shoulder, but he kept on running. Normally the loss of his widgets was something that wouldn't have bothered the Toa in the slightest; thieves were as universal as the money they were after. But right now, Tupua needed the few widgets he owned. Mostly to survive, to buy food and have a place to sleep at night. And he wasn't about the let some punk Skakdi run off with it. He would show him that the Aitua were not to be messed with. Not without consequences.The Skakdi kept on running, knocking aside a hatstand of all things. Tupua and Tosp jumped in unison and kept up their speed. Their game suddenly rounded a corner. Tupua slowed down a little. He paused for a split-second, to study the buildings adjascent to the alleyway. There was no way out of that street on the other side. It was a cul-de-sac.The two Toa carefully rounded the corner as well. This really was a bad place, there wasn't a single lightstone to illuminate the alley. Tupua had a hard time even making out shapes, but then he spotted movement. "There." he said to Tosp, almost casually.His hand wandered behind his back as he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching. As the figure got closer, it was clear it was the Skakdi. But when it left the shadow and stepped back into the glow of the street falling into the opening of the alleyway, it moved to his forehead instead. "Oh, this is bad..." he muttered.The dark-armored Toa in front of them grinned at the two, his lime eyes radiating cheerfulness. He gave Tosp a once-over and then looked at Tupua. He chuckled."You are getting slow...brother."

IC: Matatu kept pursuing the ussal. He used his mask to teleport in front of the ussal, and shot a blast of air at Quoribay.

IC: ZykeZyke walked into Onu-Koro just in time to see a Toa of Air pursuing his target."Oh no you don't!" he shouted, sprinting to the ussal with his pistol drawn.

OOC: "Kill"? He's wanted alive, remember?IC: Matatu saw a skakdi running at the ussal. Noticing the pistol, he said "Hey, he's wanted alive.", as he continued pursuing the ussal.

OOC: Sorry >_< editing..."I know," Zyke said, firing a long, metal spike into the shell of the ussal. That would eliminate that method of transportation.

IC: Nemesis pulled out his sword and rolled to the side to dodge, then, as they were underground, used his Blast Rod to melt a very large area of ceiling above them. Magma poured down on Hantak.

IC: Hantak lunged to the side to avoid the magma, but some still fell on his foot. He roared in pain, then shot a blast of impact vision at Nemesis.

IC: Nemesis was knocked through a wall, but redirected the heat from the magma. Now, the magma was solid rock keeping Hantak stuck by his foot, as the heat was turned to pure flame running up Hantak's leg and all over his body.OOC: Trapped.

IC: Hantak roared in pain, then yelled "I surrender. Have mercy!"

IC(Tosp): "Oh, kraz." Tosp whispered as he gripped his Claymore. "You're related to this guy?" Tosp was inbetween disbelief and wanting to make a really bad joke. Kythera came around the corner, holding her pistol. "Did you get him?"

IC: I never have mercy...but why? I was shown mercy...I could have died. Nemesis paused. "What...can I gain...from sparing you?" The flames did not cease just yet.

IC: Aru"And, of course, the girl gets left out of the behind-back plotting, as usual. How nice of you all." Aru sighed, revealing herself from where she was standing behind Aclaraung. "And who the Karz are you talking to? It's a corpse, for Mata-Nui's sake."

IC:Quoribay rode with the blast of air, letting it blow him on the rooftop of a nearby hut. While he was mid-air, He sheathed one dirk and grabbed one of his madu cabolo. The now-crippled ussal squealed in pain as the blood oozed from it's shell, It's eye's begging for mercy. "If you get too close to me, we all go up in flames!" Quoribay threatened while he jumped off the hut and ran towards the le-wahi tunnel, constantly alert and ready to dodge any sudden attacks.

IC: [Arkrak]"You know what, screw this. I'm heading home."With that, he walked off.OOC: Arkrak to Ko-Wahi.

IC: "What.. would you want.. to gain? Hantak asked, the flames causing great agony.

IC: That question nearly tore apart Nemesis' mind. What did he have to gain? He was alone, a goalless, friendless warrior. Curse my putrid thoughts! Gah! He lowered the flames to a painful but survivable level. "You...you will come with me. You're my servant...partner..." There was some reason in the back of Nemesis' mind for that. Some reason. "Accept...and you are free. Decline...and you will burn. Betray me..and I will use my axe to rip out your head with your spine!"

IC: "Okay... I accept." Hantak said.

IC: The flames subsided. Nemesis sheathed his sword and axe, then activated his spiked knuckles and punched apart the rock on Hantak's foot. "Go get yourself some treatment." he spat. "You're no use to me burned head to toe and nearly crying like a baby." Nemesis pointed to a nearby hospital.

IC: Hantak walked into the hospital to recieve treatment for his burns. A while later, after treatment had been issued, he walked back out, up to Nemesis.

IC: "Good." It was then that Nemesis was at a loss for ideas. What was his purpose? "Let's go. You may speak of anything you like on the way." He walked through the streets of Onu-Wahi. OOC: As they walk and talk, anyone can approach them for any reason.

IC: Hantak walked alongside Nemesis. "What will you be needing me to do?" he asked him.

IC: "To back me up. In any way I see fit." Nemesis smashed aside a column of rock and dirt. "And to make sure no one sues me for that. We will get something to eat." He walked into a restaurant.

IC: Hantak followed him into the restaurant, still in pain from the burns.

IC: "Give us some bread and meat to travel with."The owner gave Nemesis an ample amount for both of them. "Three hundred widgets.""I have none.""Leave this place. And give that back."With a glare, Nemesis turned around, still with the food, and left the building. He set the place on fire as he went past the doorway. "Hantak. I advise you follow me. You don't seem to enjoy fire." "WHAT THE--YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT!" The building slowly started to burn down.

IC: Hantak hurriedly followed him out of the restraunt.OOC: Last post tonight.

IC: Nemesis handed Hantak some food and started to eat his. "We walk and eat."OOC: Nemesis open for further interaction. That doesn't mean Hantak leaves him, it means he's doing random things at his whim with Hantak, getting into fights, and maybe forming a gang.

IC: Incommodo & Aru"I'm afraid there's little we can do about running gags. I'll tell you what: I had an idea for an act, but I need another Toa to help me out. You come with me to Ko-Koro, and then I'll help you find your friend." The Toa of Magnetism suggested."You were shouting at a corpse, Aclaraung. If I were you, I'd be more worried about myself."

IC: [uyism]Uyism dug a hole.

IC: Zongu"Alright, I'll come with you..." ...If only to solve this mystery, he thought.OOC: Zongu (with Incommodo) to Ko-Wahi.

IC: Incommodo & KeuirceAs they left the tunnel, Incommodo deactivated the magnetic hold that had been keeping Keuirce pressed against a wall, just out of Zongu's line of sight.OOC: Incommodo to Ko-Wahi.

IC:Taipo smirked, satisfied that his pickpocketing had worked so well. He flung an arm over Tupua's shoulder, forcing the large Toa to bend forward slightly and pulled him around in a circle until the two Aitua stood opposite of Kythera and Tosp. "Sure we're related. Or as close to related as we can be, brothers in arms and all that, you know." He poked Tupua in the side, who glared at him out of the corners of his eyes. "You could have said hello, you know." he said coldly.Taipo recoiled a bit, as if his team-mate had just made a ludicrous suggestion. "Oh come on now, where would be the fun in that." He slapped Tupua on the shoulder. "I hope this guy hasn't been too much of a moodkiller. He's certainly proven immune to my jokes." he told Tosp and Kythera. Annoyed, Tupua flexed his shoulders, pushing his brothers arm away with a frown. "Maybe that's just because your jokes aren't the slightest bit funny..." he retorted."Nah, you just don't have a sense of humor." Taipo said, turning his attention to the other Toa and Vortixx. "Well, aren't you going to introduce me, brother?" Tupua rolled his eyes. "Tosp, Kythera...this is my severely annoying brother, Taipo. Taipo, these are Kythera and Tosp, they've offered to help me find the rest of our team."

IC(Tosp): Tosp let go of of his Claymore and gave a breath of relief. "Oh, jeez, I thought this guy was your enemy and we would end up fighting and one of us would die!" Tosp exclaimed dramatically. Kythera punched Tosp in the arm and glared at him for making the statement. "Ow, what, you were thinking it too." Tosp replied holding his arm in fake injury. Tosp turned his attention from his kinda-sorta-girlfriend back to Taipo and Tupua. "Something tells me you too don't get along well." Tosp said to them with a smirk. He naturally received another punch in the arm from Kythera.

IC-Aclaraung:"Actually, I was trying to force Laz to stay alive while there was some life left in him. Then he died completely, and now I'm stuck without a good, compliant fruit-bat to help me."

IC: Aru"And, I obviously can't be good or complaint, judging by that sentence." Aru raised an eyebrow.

IC: [uyism]Uyism kept on digging.OOC: Open for interaction.

IC: Nemesis brought Hantak with him to a strange being. "What in the name of Primus are you DOING?!" He kicked the dirt Uyism was digging. "I don't approve of blatant insanity and inanity!" Finally, someone to subjugate. But why? It would give him some more to rule? OOC: There it is.

IC-Aclaraung:"You can be good, but not easily compliant. I wouldn't control you as well as him."

IC: [uyism]Uyism paused, and slowly stared up at Nemesis, her expression unreadable like usual, but then again, she was an Iroiit, so most people would not be very well-versed in Iroiit facial expressions. However, at the current moment, she was feeling rather indifferent to the Toa."..."She resumed digging.

IC: Aru"I would still be a helpful ally, though." Aru pointed out.

IC: Nemesis was repulsed by the Iroiit's face and decided to set the rocks and dirt on fire. "I. SAID. STOP. DIGGING!" This being ought to be bowing at my feet! I am a Prime, or as good as. He never truly was a Prime, but he was a perfect copy of the most prominent to date...right? "OBEY ME, FOOL!"
