BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: Tawara, NPC Toa of Fire, Ta-KoroMatoran ran terrified in all directions, trying to put as much distance between themselves and the sudden massacre started by the three Skakdi as possible. Unfortunately, there were so many people trying to escape that their goal became effectively impossible. Too many Matoran running in too many directions resulted in a chaos that Tawara had never seen the likes of before.The Matoran of Lighting finally managed to push her way through the crowd, and looked up to see her new friends Jikal and Kitsune fighting the three Skakdi who had initiated the chaos. As she watched, a Toa of Fire bearing the Ensign of the Ta-Koro Guard and wearing a Kanohi Sanok rushed into the fight.Tawara looked back at the crowd, and then thought of how willingly her friends had taken on the gangsters to help the old Turaga.Well, I can't run, so I might as well help.Tawara nocked an arrow and released her bowstring, aiming at the Skakdi Crankcase.

IC: Gyren smiled. It seemed as though they didn't notice him as they locked swords. He released his control over gravity upon Mixmaster's sword. As he did so, Gyren smiled. He increased the gravity on the toa, making it harder for him to move.

IC: MixmasterHe felt the shock run up his arm, but the Skakdi didn't become an elite killer by not training to fight against elements. He felt his sword get lighter, and disengaged from the Toa's sword. The shocks stopped and he picked up his dropped sword."Cleaver trick, electrifing your sword," he said, before swinging two blows towards Jikal.One went high, the other low.

IC: JikalJikal stepped back, just far enough to avoid the attacks. He stepped forward again, electrified his sword with a much more potent charge, and swung his sword at Mixmaster as hard as he could. With the power he was gaining from his Mark, it was not inconsiderable.

IC: MixmasterThe powerful swing was blocked by one of his arm plates, although the sheild was dented badly. That wasn't all that happened, though, the force of the blow sent him staggering back a few steps, while the electrical charge stunned him briefly.

IC: JikalJikal took the opportunity to swing again, this time the swing came from the opposite direction.

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi ducked and rolled away from the swing. He came up a few meters away from the Toa, his swords still held ready."Lets level the playing field. Shall we?" he said, putting away a sword and taking out his rifle.A yellow tinged high kinetic bolt flew from the weapon towards Jikal's chest.

IC: Gyren looked back upon the two. He believe that intervention would be required to end the fight. He began to focus on the plates on Mixmaster's arms. As he did so, Gyren looked towards the sword in Jikal's hands. He decreased the gravity upon it, making it lighter and but harder to damage with.

IC: JikalJikal sprang to the side, causing the bolt to miss him by a hair. "Have it your way, then." Jikal fired another lightning bolt.

IC: MixmasterThe bolt hit him square in the chest, causing his muscles to contract and spasm.Once it ended the large Skakdi looked up at the Toa, and charged at him.

IC: Jikal placed his sword on the ground, and kept a dagger in his left hand. He charged Mixmaster. Since both were moving, he was soon to close to use a sword practically. He swung his right fist at Mixmaster's jaw.

IC: Kitsune, Ta-Koro Kitsune backflipped away from the skakdi as soon as he blocked her final blow, landing on her feet with ease. Hearing Jikal speak, she nodded. "Right."Realizing her Volitak was still activated, and she couldn't make a noise, she blushed. Quickly forgeting her error, she circled around Crankcase to his left, were she used her gravity powers to lighten his personal gravity, making it harder for him to move.

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi caught the blow with an expertly raised arm, and Jikal's fist slid off his rounded plates.Mixmaster, in turn, threw a powerful uppercut towards Jikal's jaw.

IC: JikalJikal leaned right to avoid the blow. He then feinted left, and swung an actual blow with his right.

IC: MixmasterHe feel for the feint, and raised his arm again, but what he got was a punch to the side.Mixmaster was a bit more than angry at falling for it, and swung two more punches. One to the Toa of Lightning's face and another towards his chest.

OOC: Gotta get this guy moving again...IC, Verdi: Verdi huffed as he ran after Lans. "Lans!" he called from beneath Lans' Gukko. "Wait up!"

IC: JikalJikal broght up his hands, palms out, and grabbed the punches. It hurt like karz, but he grabbed them. Swiftky, he shifted his grip to the wrists. Jikal pivoted, and yanked at the same time, pulling Mixmaster forward, and most likely flipping him over his shoulder.

IC: MixmasterThe problem with that was that Mixmaster was a hulking brute, so he weighed a lot. He wasn't flipped over, but was still dragged foward by Jikal's manuvering.Mixmaster twisted his own wrists up and out, freeing him from Jikal's grasp. But that left him open for attack.

IC: JikalBut Jikal's Mark made his strength greatly increased, especially the longer this battle went on. With the fighting style of Mixmaster and his goons, he had a lot to feed on. Jikal saw his opportunity, and went for a full-on, Mark-powered, punch to Mixmaster's face.

IC: MixmasterThe punch to the face sent him onto the ground. The Skakdi layed there for a second on his back stunned before jumping up again.The experiments on his body had made him almost immune to blunt damage, but the power of Jikal's mark made the attack one that he felt."You're pretty strong for a Toa of Lightning. For any Toa for that matter and you don't wear a Pakari," he said to the Mark Bearer, "I'd love to find out why after I kill you."

IC: Gyren realized that the two of them were eventually going to end this in a stalemate. He turned his attention to the Skakdi's comrade. As the Toa was about to pin him down with gravity, he had noticed someone else had also affected him. Despite that, he couldn't see any other Toa engaging Crankcase. He walked right behind Mixmaster and towards the unseen Kitsune and Crankcase.

IC: Jikal"I don't use a mask at all." Jikal replied. He carefully reached up, and removed his cloak. He let it float to the ground, revealing his glowing Mark. He grinned savagely.

IC: Tawara, NPC Toa of Fire, Ta-KoroTawara cursed as her arrow missed Crankcase, instead landing on the cobblestones a few bio away. She wasn't used to missing, but then again she wasn't used to hunting while all of her muscles screamed at her to run away. Should she retrieve her arrow?No. Too close to the Skakdi.Instead, Tawara nocked another arrow and this time aimed her bow at Mixmaster. She released the bowstring. Meanwhile, the Toa of Fire launched a blast of flame in Hatchet's direction.

IC: Mixmaster"Am I supposed to scared that you have a glowing mark?" he said, almost laughing.The hulking Skakdi heard a twang of a bow, and casually rasing his plated arm. The arrow dented the plating slightly, and bounced off. Mixmaster could barely feel the impact, although probably because of the fact he was in the middle of a fight."Keep your twigs to youself."He then fired a high kinetic energy shot from his rifle towards the Matoran of Lightning. It was just a warning shot, and it went to the left of her, knocking another matoran beside her about ten meters back. This left him slightly distracted, though.

IC: Jikal/Iris"No." Jikal lashed out with a kick, at full strength, to Mixmaster's gut. "You should be scared because nobody messes with my friends. Not now," Jikal's voice changed drastically. "Not ever."

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi just barely managed to jump back from the kick. He had just regained his balence when he swung one of his broadswords at Jikal."Is that so? Well I'm not sorry to say that I'm not scared and I am messing with your friends."

IC: IrisIris jumped back to avoid the blade, and before Mixmaster could recover, he lunged so he was too close to have the sword used on him effectively, and with both hands still on the blade (Which had now reached the end of it's swing) He had no way to protect himself from the punch now flying at his eyes.

OOC: he had one hand on the blade, but whateves.IC: MixmasterThe punch shapped his head back. The Skakdi stumbled back a few steps before charging again at Jikal/Iris.Once he was close enough, the hulking Skakdi sent a knee to the Toa's stomach and a fist to his jaw.

IC: Tawara, Ta-KoroTawara might have been feeling unusually bold recently, but she wasn't stupid. A Matoran like herself had no place in this fight. She rushed to check if the Ta-Matoran Mixmaster had hit was unharmed. Fortunately, he had landed on top of another Matoran and suffered only a broken wrist and forearm, and a healer was attending to him.Then Tawara noticed a figure in teal armor crouching a distance away. One who looked a great deal like Jikal and Kitsune. She walked over to him."You. With the green armor. Don't you have powers, or something? You look like you could fight. Why aren't you helping them? Do you want to see the village destroyed?" asked Tawara. She was talking fast, too fast, and her fear was very obvious, but she didn't care. The adrenaline rushing through her body made her feel detached from the situation.OOC: She's talking to Gyren.

OOC: Oh, oops.IC: IrisIris took both blows, but grabbed Mixmaster's knee. He looked up, grinning despite the blood dripping down the right side of his face. "Never go melee with a Toa of Lightning." He let a very potent charge of electricity run through his hands, the most potent yet. After all, Iris had far fewer morals than Jikal did.

OOC: Is fine. IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi smiled back, despite the massive amounts of electricity coursing through him.When he spoke, his words sounded like a radio with bad reception, "And has anyone told you never to fight a Skakdi?"Mixmaster suddenly swung his head foward into Iris's. The headbutt would hopefully catch him off guard.

OOC: You guys didn't really think you could hsve a fight involving Phantoms with Naryth, right?IC - Naryth Zenoklass - Entering fightA Vortixx leapt from the shadows."Ah, there you are. I thought you had all run away."He fired plasma bolts at Iris, running forward. -Shady - ReturningAs his eyes returned to red, a shadow fell upon his face, his armor all fell back without purple, it was obvious that Shady was back. No need to remain under that guise."Where is his sister?" he wondered aloud.

IC: IrisIris's head snapped back, and blood dripped down into his eye. He kept up the electrical shock. "Yeah. But I doubt anybody ever told you not to fight with a Mark Bearer." He relinquished his grip on Mixmaster's knee, and electrically charged both fists. Getting hit by one would feel like getting hit by a hospital shock paddle. He punched at Mixmaster's jaw with his left fist. Between the charge, and the strength that he was getting from his Mark it was one heck of a punch.After all, there was quite a lot of cruelty present. Between Mixmaster and Co. destructive and harmful actions, the rather cruel combat methods employed by Hatchet, and Mixmaster's shooting of an innocent matoran, there was plenty for Iris's Mark.Then Naryth's plasma bolt hit Iris's shoulder. He gasped in pain as the bolt seared his flesh and scorched his armor. With any luck, however, his punch would still connect.

IC: VibayaHe followed Behind Shady, his feet making no noise as he floated over the ground. 'I do not yet know... The best place to search would be, as it always is, the bars and inns of the village. Or perhaps the Blacksmith himself. I hear that medics are treating him of his serious wounds. Perhaps you would like to finish him off when we are done with his sister.

IC: MixmasterThe plasma bolt caused Jikal's fist to just barely glance off the side of his head. It was still powerful, sending the electricity throughout his body, causing the Skakdi to spasm.He finally managed to say to Naryth, "No, sir! My kill, my glory, my fight!"His eyes were blood red, and the Skakdi raised his rifle, firing point-blank at Jikal/Iris.

IC: IrisIris dropped to the ground and rolled a shirt distance away, but the bolt still grazed his shoulder. Iris winced as he shakily stood.

IC - Shady - With Vibaya"Why not. There can't be that many medics to check, seeing as the hospital was destroyed."He made his way towards the nearest medic hut he could find. It was small, and looked occupied. He stepped inside, and there was none other than Zyckel Kraar inside."There you are." he said, his voice again deep and monstrous in reverse to its former calmness, "Your sister. Where might she be? I hear she is a master crafter."It was a guess. Maybe it was a family business?

IC: MixmasterThe bolt flew behind Iris and hit the stone wall. It left a meter wide hole that was a hlaf meter deep.But Mixmaster payed no attention to that, instead, he was putting away his sword and rifle. The hulking Skakdi took out a gigantic mace with razor sharp points around it. He lumbered over to Iris and swung a savage blow with it.OOC: IMHO, and awesome fight so far Krayzikk.Just awesome.

IC: VibayaBut it wasn't a medic's hut, it was the Lava Pool inn. And Zyckel was in no state to be speaking, and was also back in one of the rooms, and no one was being admitted. Which, all of that really cut into the idea of killing him at the current moment. They just needed to find a way inside, maybe later when security had dropped.

OOC: Well that would've helped to know.IC - Shady - Lavapool InnShady discovered he was talking to an unconscious patron."Huh..." he said.He approached the innkeeper."Do you have a patient named Zyckel Kraar? I'm a private detective hired by his sister. She wants to find the culprit. I need to see him."
